WIP | Rumahku syurgaku

MZ beli dan pindah masuk rumah MZ sekarang somewhere in year 2009...MZ as the 2nd owner (ie rumah subsale/beli dari tgn 1st buyer)...so now dh 2025, kiranya MZ dh stay kat rumah ni dh masuk tahun ke16...rumah MZ ni keluasannya/bukaannya kecik ajer..tak muat pun 2 keta kat porch tu...dan even nak masuk 1 keta pun struggle sbb sempit apatah lagi lps kami direzekikan memiliki baby T..lebar la baby T, payah sgt2 nak masuk parking dpn rumah.

akhirnya, kami decide utk reno bahagian dpn rumah, dh lama pun teringin cuma selalu rasa tak de bajet...

alhamdulillah, kami reno tukar lantai, tukar pintu pagar, pasang full awning, dan remove tiang dan ganti tiang lain letak kat tepi, remove binaan tong sampah attached kat pagar tu jugak...so byklah benda kena buat dan kosnya memang lah puluh2 ribu RM...

WIP (work in progress) sbb contractor ada hal emergency plak..kena balik to his home country, so delay 2 minggu utk siapkan final touch ie psg pintu pagar, cat bahagian luar rumah dan buat piping atas atap/awning..

ni keadaan dpn rumah sblm reno.. ie bukak pintu jer, and this is the view

lantai tu half jer design batu tu (bkn tiles)...selebihnya ada simen petak2 dan rumput2..

tiang batu tu sgt2 menyempitkan ruang yg sedia sempit..dan jugak tempat tong sampah tu..pintunya berkarat sbb berhujan panas, dh repaint jugak sebelum2 ni

reno works started...and WIP

ni gmbr ari selasa lps, ie view bila bukak jer pintu (sliding door)

ada terselit our cik city kat dpn rumah (mr hubby guna keta ni utk pergi keje)

lantai design tu memang MZ punya wishlist ie berkenan dgn lantai/tiles one house yg MZ selalu lalu lalang hahahha

Allahumma yassir..moga2 reno works akan segera resume and siap semua laaa..insya Allah after 2 weeks time contractor balik semula msia dan sambung all the incomplete works (trusted contractor sbb sblm ni dh reno bahagian dapur dan all 3 toilets)

happy weekend uolls!

Rerama comel di jari

walaupun jarinya tak runcing (bulat2 montok la jari MZ ni)..tp MZ sgt suka lah design rama2 ie butterfly.... jomlah posing2 ROTD ie Ring Of The Day!

cute sgt cincin rama2 ni kat mata MZ...rege memang tak berapa mesra poket sbb upah/workmanship mahal la utk item design hardgold gini apatah lagi brand habib--so memang MZ beli bkn utk investment tp utk melaram/pakai2 utk happy2 jerrr (anyway, cincin ni rege below RM600 lah ie RM550++)

MZ sgt suka brand habib so cincin ni brand habib (MZ beli kat shopee habib official store--so MZ opt utk byr instalment zero interest 3 months via SPayLater) ..cincin versi hardgold/ringan ie below 1 gm ni (0.79 gm to be exact). cincin ni tak kecik sgt in real, tp memang ringan lah (hard gold kan ie tak padu)..tp finishing memang superb sgt!!

MZ beli saiz 15 sbb nak pakai kat jari telunjuk laaa, dan boleh gilir2 pakai kat jari hantu jugak wpun loose sikit..ada enamel soft pinky2 tu jugakkk....so definitely my love at 1st sight sgt!!

salam hari sabtu uolls

happy weekend!

Morocco v Monaco

nama dua2 tempat ni memang familiar tapi MZ tak tahu kat mana lah letaknya, apatah lagi these countries are not in my travel wishlist (so tak berapa tahu sgt laaa)

alkisahnya, one of my colleguaes baru balik dari travel and one of the places that she went was Morocco..

MZ pun gigihlah tanya chatGPT -- 

"Morocco is a country located in Northwest Africa. It is bordered by:

• The Atlantic Ocean to the west

• The Mediterranean Sea to the north

• Algeria to the east

• The disputed territory of Western Sahara to the south

Its capital city is Rabat, and its largest city is Casablanca. Morocco is just across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain—only about 13 kilometers (8 miles) separate the two at their closest point."

so MZ dpt lah fridge magnet morocco ni..

MZ letak kat notice board kat opis MZ jer ni..both FM Xian dan Monaco Prof N yg bagi, FM Japan tu Dr A yg bagi, FM London tu MZ punya sendiri la ie beli time gi UK sept last year.

so ada apa plak dgn monaco?

pun MZ blur ie tak sure monaco tu kat mana :p...

adik MZ and his family will be travelling to europe cuti sek nanti dan one of the coutries that they will travel to is Monaco!

ni MZ tanya chatGPT

Monaco is a tiny independent city-state located in Western Europe on the French Riviera, along the Mediterranean Sea. Here's where it is geographically:

• Bordered by France on three sides

• Near the southeastern corner of France, close to Italy

• South of the French Alps and northeast of Nice, France

Despite its small size (just about 2 square kilometers), Monaco is one of the most densely populated and richest countries in the world. Its capital is Monaco (the city and country are basically the same), and it's famous for:

• The Monte Carlo Casino

• The Formula 1 Grand Prix

• Its status as a tax haven

• Being home to many luxury yachts, high-end real estate, and celebrities

So in short:

• Morocco = in North Africa

• Monaco = a tiny country on the Mediterranean coast of Europe next to France 

 ok now i know hehhehe

Because diamond is forever

caption tu rupa2nya diambil dari tagline DeBeers ie the famous diamond brand...berlian adalah selamanya...rasanya MZ pernah terbaca somewhere, berlian adalah selamanya kerana/juga bermaksud berlian tak de resale value berbanding emas 916 or 999, so sekali beli, memang utk dipakai/jd milik selamanya, bukan utk dijual atau trade-in etc (even kalau jual pun harga sgt rendah, based on mutu berlian jugak/kena ada certificate mutu berlian kalau nak jual).

so ada apa dgn berlian ni.....

masa MZ balik kg ari tu, my mom ada bagi her diamond ring to me...kira hadiah from my mom to me...

my mom kata, cincin berlian ni, dh berpuluh tahun usianya, my late father yg belikan utk my mom masa dpt duit bonus (dulu my dad keje kat private company nama MTC). It's the time my mom bagi this ring to me, sbb dia dh tak pakai cincin at her age (my mom now 83 yrs old).

My mom masih ingat, harga cincin ni RM800 (duit masa tu, roughly harga 30 years back--MZ agak2 jer sbb my dad dh meninggal pun 16 tahun)---so kalaulah nak beli zmn sekrg, memang agak mahal harga cincin berlian design gini/ie with all these diamonds..

saiz cincin tu ngam dgn jari MZ (middle finger/jari hantu). cincin ni saiz 13, anyway, utk jari manis, MZ pakai saiz 12 or 11, depend on design/tebal nipis cincin.

lambang kasih sayang abadi (pinjam tagline telekung siti khadijah)

so nilah asal usul frasa/sayings "diamond is forever"

salam hari khamis uolls! ptg ni MZ ada online meeting dgn student phd (beliau sekrg kat netherlends), not my student cuma my boss suruh MZ bg view for the thesis, and tonite, MZ dh start balik kelas masters (kelas online 7 weeks and later kelas offline 5 weeks)

have a nice day!

Diary Baby T | 1st time buat hal

kisah bermula, kami bertolak balik kg pada pagi sabtu 10/5/25, timing kat tol gombak 8 am, kami balik ber4 ie without our zharfan sbb he got a workshop to attend (his study stuff).

bateri baby T masa kami start the journey tu lebih kurang 70%+, so kami plan nak caj kat raub. to be exact, kat hotel jelai raub sbb ada charger kat situ. kenapa tak jdkan 100% bateri sblm bertolak balik? sbb rumah MZ tgh reno so tak leh nak guna charger kat rumah...bateri dh caj the day before kat luar, tu tinggal 70% + jer sblm bertolak balik.

lps setel caj kat raub, kami pun happy2 nak meneruskan perjalanan...di sini masalah bermula ie kat control panel/screen, ada notice/warning psl one of the tyres ie tayar belakang sebelah kanan, angin tayarnya kurang...kami chill2 dulu ie try tambah angin/pam angin kat petrol station kat raub tu..then sambung drive...rupa2nya all the way, angin masih terus berkurang..so singgah kat petrol station kat lipis plak, tambah angin lagi..then kami sambung lagi perjalanan sampailah ke gua musang..pam angin sekali lagi, then caj bateri kat DC handal (R&R gua musang), then angin masih kuar/berkurang lps dh pam angin..so we know, dh tak leh sambung drive dah...angin asyik kuar dan semakin cepat proses berkurang angin tayar tu.

kami singgah kat one workshop kat gua musang..tp workshop tak leh repair/tampal tayar (suspect bocor/ada paku etc) sbb tayar EV lain cara utk bukak pasang tu..kena ada jackpad khas..kami singgah tanya lagi 3 workshop kat area gua musang..semua pun tak leh buat..by this time..MZ dh sgt2 sedey sbb tak leh nak terus balik kg, the only hard decision to make..kena patah balik ke KL..sbb workshop kat KL biasanya boleh handle EV...

so kami konar balik dari gua musang terus menuju ke lipis...then nampak ada satu workshop yg besar tepi jln kat lipis, nama workshop ni Ria Power Station...staff2 kat situ semua sgt frenly dan try to help...last2 diaorg try lapik tebal2 jack tu ie rubber pad..then dptlah bukak dan tampal tayar our baby T...settle masalah alhamdulillah...masa ni dh pukul 3 lebih..kami decide sambung balik kelantan sekali lagi...so kena caj baby T sekali lagi...ulang2 proses caj kat gua musang DC handal..charger error plak..so kami decide utk charge kat gentari @G Orange Mall (new mall kat gua musang)..syukur setel caj, sambung drive balik my kampung...finally sampai my kampung pukul 8.45 pm...letih sgt sbb 12 jam total to reach kampung.

lesson learnt--MZ kena ada jackpad khas utk EV ie simpan dlm kereta, then sebenar2nya EV not designed for long journey esp kat msia belum ada byk charger merata2, dan jrg2 workshop yg boleh handle EV cthnya bab2 tampal/tukar tayar...

gitulah kisahnya..

so lps ni, mentally MZ lebih bersedia dgn apa jua challenges bila drive baby T..

ni masa singgah charging kat raub

charger ni memang ada kat dpn hotel jelai raub..kena mintak reception staff utk allow access masa nak caj (dia tap kad kat screen tu lps dh buat payment via MAE/online) cost caj kat sini RM50.

ni masa caj kat gua musang R&R ie DC handal..1st time charge tu smooth jer..murah jugak rate charging kat sini (below RM30)

lps setel caj, kami try cari bengkel nak tampal tayar, dan gagal!!..ie tak de workshop kat gua musang yg boleh handle EV

ni 1st bengkel yg kami singgah..staff tu try buat tp tak boleh sbb bahagian bwh baby T adalah plastik bukan besi mcm normal car..memang kena ada jackpad rubber (alas/lapik)

benda ni wajib ada dlm my tesla...MZ terus order kat shopee..lom terima lagi masa MZ tulis entry ni..tp dh OTW--murah jer pun tp not about the cost tp about wajib ada!

syukur sgt kami singgah bertanya ie try our luck kat Ria Power Station ni...

besar workshop ni..siap display harga etc..masa MZ snap gmbr ni, jam kat dinding menunjukkan 2.30 pm..panas terik cuaca masa ni

dh berjaya bukak tayar baby T

tayar baby T ni saiz besar (MZ kena ready budget utk tukar tayar bila mileage dh cecah 50-60k later)..sebijik tayar costs around RM2k-RM2.5k if betul2 nak brand yg sama..ada yg murah sikit kalau brand lain (murah tu --slightly below RM2k for each)

this is the culprit..keras mcm batu la...plastick bentuk gini terbenam dlm tayar..benda ni keras dan tajam tu penyebab baby T hampir pancit (syukur tak tersadai tepi jln)

ni masa caj kat gentari G Orange Mall gua musang

alhamdulillah...syukur dpt jugak balik kg akhirnya.

moga2 lps ni tak diuji lagi... MZ ni hati rapuh... 

thanks for reading

salam hari rabu uolls!

Balik kampung via gua musang route

MZ bertolak balik kg pada pagi sabtu 10/5 sbb isnin kan cuti wesak (kira extended weekend), so balik nak visit my mom. this time, we decided utk balik via gua musang - so kali pertama lah bwk baby T balik guna laluan gua musang ni..

actually 1st time jugak something unexpected happened --baby T buat hal la plak..

anyway sepanjang2 kat kampung tu..sempatlah MZ buat beberapa aktiviti.. breakfast kat stall jual nasi berlauk ayam kampung, then ronda2 mydin kubang kerian dgn my mom, then my mom singgah beli baulu panas2 (kat area pasir hor), then kami singgah visit my auntie (adik my mom)..

random pic...ni kat simpang tiga kuala krai...dah tak de dah sculpture buah manggis...diganti dgn sculpture/arca abstrak ni..

ni sesi mengecaj baby T kat petron selising (ptg ahad 11/5)..cuaca masa ni panas terik...tp lps dh setel caj2 tu...cuaca bertukar mendung/gelap dan hujan jugak laaa , so tak sempat kami nak ronda2 gi pantai irama (bachok)

ni sesi snacking kata cafe/kiosk sambil tunggu baby T caj

MZ candid snap pic my mom and her adik (MZ panggil Mok Dah)...my auntie ni ari tu operate tonsil then lps tu jatuh plak kat halaman rumah so injured kaki, tak leh berjalan..shafahallah

MZ tulis entry lain lah yer utk kisah Baby T tiba2 buat hal tu..mencabar sungguh!! syukur dpt jugak sampai balik kg wpun kami selamat sampai kampung pada pukul 8.45 mlm laaa ari sabtu tu...

All-time-fav setiap kali balik kampung

bihun sup keting yg sgt sedap di tekak MZ..kat restoran ZS zainun, lokasi otw nak gi airport pengkalan chepa (to be exact, kat simpang 3, rasa2nya nama tmpt tu kg baung)

Pg ni MZ plan nak balik semula gombak lps setel breakfast.

Allahumma yassir

Balik kampung

MZ selamat sampai di kg pukul 8.45 pm last nite..1st time bwk baby T lalu route gua musang..

Ni gmbr breakfast MZ pg ni..nasi kerabu lauk ayam kampung masak kerutuk
