Paka's Hall of Memories~

Our Colourful Poster Collection~ For 3 years, JuliZac, Rieyn and I had been summarizing our single laydeh activities in the form of posters. Even after getting married and taking over the house, I let the posters stay on the living room wall. This tradition was initiated by Rieyn when she taped the very first poster of our first holiday in Terengganu, Pulau Kapas.   Pulau Kapas 1 - By Rieyn   Pulau Kapas 2 - By Rieyn   Tasik Kenyir 1 - By Ju   Tasik Kenyir 2 - By Rieyn Dinner with Ladies in Red - By Rieyn Fit's Bachelorette "Breaking Fast Party" - By Rieyn   Taman Negara 1 - By Rieyn Taman Negara 2 - By Ju Taman Negara 3 - By Kzmi Melaka Road Trip - By Ju First Year Anniversary House Warming Party - By Ju Beijing 1 - By JuliZac Beijing 2 - By Ju Bali 1 - By Rieyn Bali 2 - By Ju Pulau Redang 1 - By JuliZac Pulau Redang 2 - By Ju Pulau Redang 3 - By Rieyn Hong Kong 1 - By Rieyn Hong Kong 2 - By Ju Hong Kong 3 - By JuliZac Bangkok 1 - By Ju Bangkok 2 - By JuliZac Breaki

Miss You Paka~

A Place I Grew to Love! 4 years back, the first time I crossed the state of Terengganu's border, I didn't know what to expect. A new chapter of life began! Now, having to say goodbye to Paka brings a bit of emosi terganggu feelings. Here's a long list of what I'll be missing, in no particular order: (Please do no attempt to read if you're in a hurry, this may take a while) 1) My bestie, neighbies, officemates, and friends - most of them had already left Terengganu. But we were a close knit group. The single girls having dinner together! 2) My house - I remembered how paranoid Rieyn & I were when we wanted to rent it. The owner sounded creepy  But later on we found out he was Rieyn's subordinate! 3) Keropok lekor - This #1 Terengganu snack is only superb when it is made in Terengganu! We munch it by the beach, during meeting, for evening snacks etc... Only here you can find keropok lekor celup tepung ! How creative is that?! Pantai Paka

Going to Our First Garage Sale... Date: 3 December 2011 We are still looking for a house to rent. Kak Ramiza and family have been sooo kind to let us stay with her until we find one. The renting process is very elaborate here, not as simple like in Malaysia. We tagged along our new friends to visit about 7 garage sales today. Aussies love having garage sales to get rid of their unwanted items or to move out. This is the chance for us 'poor' folks to grab some basic items at extremely low prices. Shopping time! Loading our purchase Our purchase for today includes: 1) Vacuum cleaner - AUD3! 2) Microwave - AUD10 3) New utensil set - AUD8 4) Tupperware plates & jug - AUD5 5) Baby cot blanket - AUD5 6) Heater - AUD8 7) Dustbin - AUD2 8) Baby jumper - AUD1 9) Football boot - AUD1 10) 3 laundry basket - AUD1 Can't wait for next weekend! Going to garage sales has become a habit of Malaysian students in Toowoomba. It is a must every weekend!
