Posted by hidayah

Dah lama dah sebenarnya aku survey gadget ni... kejap2 check harga online, then tgk kat Walmart and Best Buy. Konon nak tgk yg mana offer best price... so akhirnya...



Ni dia gadget tu.. GPS Garmin nuvi 255W


Apa dlm kotak tu? Ha... selain GPS tu sendiri, ada car power cable, dashboard disc and suction cup mount.

Bila nak rasmikannya? Ha... minggu depan ye.. bila nak ke Minnie nanti ... hehehe...

Summer and Fall... in between  

Posted by hidayah

July is approaching towards the end. There goes another month, and then comes another. It's still summer, though... perfect time for vay-kay or roadtrip. Nothing new and exciting for me at the moment, just doing my thing.. day in day out..

Speaking of roadtrip, it was pretty exciting to hear stories from Kak Rosita who has been travelling for two weeks -- went to 14 states. Cool, huh? Not to mention Kak Nor and her family -- 11 States. These people seriously were having sooo much fun and enjoyed themselves! Kak Rosita and family -- I bet when she got here, they must be so damn tired.. just imagine, they just got back from Malaysia the night before, and the next day off to travel -- despite the jetlag, not to mention the time difference. Never in a million years I could do such thing! Haha... memang salutelah Kak Rosita and Abg Jalal...:))

I'm kinda excited for this coming fall. Why? New semester , of course! Ye ye aje... well, actually it was exciting for us that Daddy and mama, together with Angah and Apit -- confirmed their flight and Insya Allah will be coming over. What else would be more exciting than having the big family here? Tentatively they will be coming over mid November, and will stay here for a month. Well, god timing, guys ... we are sooo going to hit the outlets and malls during the thanksgiving break! Hell, yeah! Shopping time... wohoooo.... and we got to celebrate Aidil Adha together, too!

To end our slow summer months, we plan on going to Minnesota next Friday, and will be back on Sunday. It's time for us to have the taste of summer, so to speak. Haha. Well, kinda chillin' before Ramadhan and school starts. We'll be going to Mall of America, Albertville Outlet store, and other must-visit places. Everything has been reserved and planed -- just waiting for next week to arrive!


Sekali sekala..

Reiman Garden  

Posted by hidayah


Ni kisah masa Father's Day dua minggu sudah...:)) Aku tau mmg aku lambat hapdet citer kat blog... mcm2 hal... so anyway, masa Father's Day yg lepas, kami pergi ke Reiman Garden (Iowa State punya taman bunga + dinosaur).. Summer ni mmg bestlah pergi... cuaca masa tu sgtlah teriknya.. Reiman Garden ni ada byk bhgian.. 1st kitorang gi Butterfly area... mmg kawasan tu kea cover dgn huge net so butterfly tu tak de la terlepas keluar... Fatihah punya la suka tgk butterfly... mmg jinak2 butterfly kat situ...


Keluar dari butterfly area tu, kitorang jln2 pulak kat Dinosaur park dan kawasan yg dipenuhi dengan bermacam2 warna bunga ros... since masa tu Sunday, visitors pun ramailah jugak kat Reiman Garden tu... Mcm2 saiz dinosaur ada.. dari sebesar2 ke sekecil2 saiz...

The Reiman Garden Lake


So gorgeous...

Ada pulak satu kawasan tu utk kids... namanya children's park... ada satu structure dinosaur yg ditanam bunga2 diatasnya -- very cute... ada pulak budak kecik sorang ni dah start pusing2 keliling dinosaur tu... ntah apa yg dicari ntah...hehehe..


Lepas kepenatan tawaf satu Reiman Garden tu, kitorang pun berangkat pulang... yang paling seronok pasti la si kecik yg sibuk dok tgk itu ini.. hehe... oh ya.. sempena Father's Day tu dapatlah para ayah masuk Reiman Garden free... kalau tak, kena bayar $7.00...


Father and daughter together :))

The little girl  

Posted by hidayah

I always find that whenever I am not in the mood, or whenever I'm not at my best, there is one thing that always makes me feel better: The little girl below:


Well, she's now in the stage where she imitates people, wanting to learn and go to school (hehehe..). Not to forget playing and watching her fave cartoon, "Backyardigans". It is truly a wonderful experience being a mom to such a lovely daughter.

Another thing that she likes to do now is playing in the water -- with bubble bath and her bathing pals. That's when I decided to bring her to the wading pool (it's a kid swimming pool) here in Ames. I bought her a swimming suit and Huggies swimmers (swimming diapers), and we were all set for a splash in the pool. So we went to Carr pool, where the wading pool is located besides the big swimming pool -- and there was nobody at the wading pool. We changed her and she started splashing water all over :)). Mommy and daddy didn't join the little girl -- we just supervised her from the edge of the pool. Here's the little girl that enjoyed the water:


The max depth of the wading pool is 18 inches. Not too deep for us, but definitely need to keep an eye on the kids, though... All in all, she really enjoyed the day and it looks like we'll be hanging out here often for the rest of the summer...

Argggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
