Aidil Fitri 2010 - Jakarta - Solat Raya

It's time to perform the solat and this year we were back to the same place where we perform our solat last two years. Unlike in Malaysia where we usually do our prayer at mosques, in Jakarta, it's done not only in mosques but other places where many people can fit in and do prayers together. As for us, it was the car park of one of the government agencies there.

On the way to the solat area. Papa Bear, Pasha and Akung. On the next pic, Mama Pasha, Aunty Sita and Aunty Ruri.

Upin, Ipin and Hello Kitty and a family pose on the way back from the prayer.

This was the second time that we took Pasha for the Solat Raya. The first time was last year in Kuala Lipis but he was still too small and it did not end up well. This year, at 3 years old, he was able to enjoy it.

Update from KLIA

It's the last day of Ramadhan and I am writing this at Terminal 2, KLIA waiting for our flight to Jakarta. I have not been actively blogging for the past few weeks. Why? Here is the excuse. It is due to momentum. What momentum? Well, due to the failure of our Jaring broadband and the few days waiting to get the P1, I lost the mood... At the same time, my Ramadhan timing was totally out of synch... I would fall asleep around 10pm and wake up around 12 midnight. Then I would be up until sahur... As a result, most fo the day time, especially at work was spent yawning and yawning and yawning.... including some dozing off while driving... In short, blogging was somewhat too difficult to perform... especially after having lots of delicious food for iftar...

There you go.

Surprise!

One afternoon when I was about to have lunch in Kampung Baru, I received a call from Isabelle. It was about planning a surprise birthday dinner for her hubby, Syam and for Mama Pasha. Both of their birthdays were only 5 days apart. Mama Pasha's was on August 12 and Syam's was on August 18. To make things less obvious, we finally decided to do it on August 17 at TGIF Subang Jaya...

The outcome. 100% success to surprise Mama Pasha but not a full surprise for Syam. The reason was due to spoilers provided by none other than the little Adam..

By the way, we chose TGIF since we knew that they would always do "stuffs" to those who celebrated their birthdays there... In this case Mama Pasha and Syam had to sing a song each... Only is you could hear what Syam sang... LOL!

Here are some photos of that night. Pictures ambil tanpa kebenaran dari blog Isabelle... Jangan marah! Nice shots and free "promotion" from us :) If you need a cameraman, you know where to find one. <-- advertisement.

Pasha after a scolding for misbehaving at the table and Mama Pasha who got a big "Got You!" by Papa Bear.

Excitement on receiving a new, much needed gadget and a little card from Isabelle and family. Pasha helped in unwrapping...

Pasha and Mama laughing about something.

Adam chasing Pasha all over TGIF.

Syam opening a present while Adam trying on a black hat that we got for Syam and Isabelle tempting Pasha with some cheese tarts.

The Accomplice and The Mastermind and The Bear family.

Isabelle, Adam making faces and Syam and all of us!

It was a great dinner and time for all and for both Isabelle and Papa Bear, we know where NOT to have our birthday dinner at...

Surprise!

secubit rasa..

kemarin pagi saat bear bersiap2 berangkat bekerja pasha terbangun dr tidurnya.. melihat papa dan bertanya...
pasha: "papa.. kemana??"
papa: " mau kerja nak.. "
pasha: "kenapa kerja..??"
sejenak kami berdua terpaku pada pertanyaan kritis pertamanya..
papa: "supaya papa dapat uang jadi bisa belikan milo untuk pasha.."
pasha:"ooo.."
dlm hati tak tau mesti merasa takjub apa girang.. anakku sudah besar.. sdh mulai mempertanyakan perbuatan yg diambil oleh ayah dan ibunya..

kalau sudah begini.. terbersit sebuah pertanyaan dalam hati kecil.. sanggupkah aku meninggalkan anak kesayangan ku dalam asuhan orang lain?? sanggupkah diriku untuk tidak lagi mendapatkan "privillages" yg pertama melihat kemajuan dalam perkembangannya..
aku jd bimbang... pertanyaan2 itu kembali menggugah niat awal ku yg sudah bulat sebulan yg lalu untuk kembali bekerja setelah lebaran nanti..
seandainya aku tetap dirumah mengasuh anakku dengan tangan ku sendiri mampukah aku menunaikan kewajiban finansialku pada sebuah instansi yg bernama bank??

Berikan aku petunjukmu ya Allah.. sungguh aku tak mampu memilih...

Now online with P1 WiMAX

My last post was about 10 days ago. By the way, the last post in Bahasa Indonesia was written by Mama Pasha and not Papa Bear. Some of you thought that Papa Bear wrote an entry in Bahasa Indonesia. No No No... That's Mama Pasha. Look carefully at the author ya.

Anyway, I have not been blogging and blog walking since my last entry. The reason was due to the fact that our router that connected us to the SOMA Port broadband modem from Jaring got hit by lightning. It went cuckoo. LAN was OK but Internet kaput-ted... So, instead on investing on another router and face the uncertainty of compatibility with the SOMA Port, I signed up for P1. But, no need to potong since the Jaring broadband was wireless as well...

This is not the first time I tried P1. You can read about my first P1 experience here. They told me that they would be upgrading my area and they did keep their words. MAXIS told me that they are going to upgrade my area by July 2010 and they failed. UniFi is the worst of all. They went silence...

DX-230 replacing DV-230

So, now, this entry was posted via P1. Just finished setting up the Wi-Fi security and things look good so far for a 1.2Mbps connection. Why ditched Jaring? The main reason is that the SOMA Port is a single user modem. You need a router to share the connection but Jaring does not support this. We have 3 computers at home that need the internet... If you hit a problem when connecting via a router, they simply refused to provide any support. They would ask you to remove the router first. Well, now I removed them... Too bad...

Hope that this P1 would remain as good as it is now. My neighbor at the back said that she has no issue so far. My friend somewhere at the end of the world around Rawang said he is a satisfied customer. Let' see...

Iftar Ramadhan Menu August 14, 2010

Mama Pasha was under the weather and therefore, we did not go out to any Bazaar Ramadhan. I just went to the club house and there was only one table opened. Nasi Minyak was the only food sold and I bought it.

Nasi Minyak and Rendang Ayam aka Chicken Rendang.

The Acar that came with the Nasi Minyak was complete with pineapples, cucumbers and onions and Pau Kacang Merah aka Red Bean buns.

Some juicy watermelons and an exhausted Pasha, which is not part of the food...

Selamat Berbuka!
