Camping in Al Ain

Last Friday (29 December 2006) we went for a camping (this the first camping trip in the family, in fact first time in my life also) at Al Ain, near Jabel Hafiq with Zamani's family and Ramly's family. We reached there at 4.00pm. and everyone started to set-up their tent. There a lot of people were picnic at that time, probably because it a public holiday. I brought nasi goreng, chicken marinated for barbeque, sambal tumis telur (second time made since the first one hangus, terrible) and daging goreng masak kicap. The children as usually happy playing. At night, we made barbeque but the weather was very cold and windy, our barbeque turn to fried chicken. Anyway still tasty and nice to eat. At midnight the temperature was too cold and I cannot sleep. I think in future if we want to go for camping the best time is in March or April, since the weather more comfortable.

The next day after had a breakfast, we went back at 11.45am but stop to take another photo at the waterfall. This waterfall only has in winter because last summer went we came i hardly notice any waterfall.

Last day trip

On last day trip, after breakfast, the three boys went for swimming at the pool. Surpisingly Syazwan know how to swim. I'm so excited since he the first one know how to swim. So kak long and the gang after this will try very hard to learn how to swim, don't you? We went back to Abu Dhabi about 11.45a.m. I hope in the future we have another exciting trip. Don't you think, and thanks a lot to my husband for sponsoring the trip.

2nd Day

On the second (23 December 2006) we went to Mussandam in Oman, it took about one hour journey. The road is between the beach and the mountain. We can see the structure of the mountains are different from here (in Abu Dhabi) which are like a layer cake and the colours, sizes also difference.









On the way to Khasab we stopped at the cliff to take a photo of the beautiful scenery which can see the misty mountains, the blue lagoon and the boats. The view is amazing.

We had a bought a food at Khasab and had a lunch at the beach. Then decided want to see a dolphin. So everyone ready and took a dow to see the dolphin. But the price very dear which cost us Dhs800.00. Everyone very excited to see the dolhin including me, that the first time in my life after 39 years. I think my kids will treasure this memory until their old. We also saw plenty of seagull on the way back to the port.

We went back at 5.45pm, it almost back and maghrib time. So we decided to straight back to RAK. Everyone exhausted but full with nice memory. Such an enjoyable trip and moment.

Trip to Oman

On 22 December 2006 (Friday) my family, Zamani's family and Ramly's family went a trip to Ras Al Khaimah(RAK). RAK is one of the seven emirated which consists of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Ajman, Sharjah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain. We stayed at RAK hotel. The town considered small compared to Abu Dhabi. The journey took about three hours. During the day we went to the beach and at night went to the souk. The kids were excited and played at the beach especially Farhan, Fardan, Syazwan, Hannah and Irfan.

Fardan had a fever

Hi, quiet sometime i did not write, om 15 december 2006, Fardan had a fever and last for 5 days, recovered on 20-december-2006, I gave him calpol for infant (10ml) for every 6 hours. At the same time his had a cough and flu started on Wednesday 13 December 2006 and after a week he started again with the rashes. Fully recovered only on 28 December 2006 which last for two weeks. I prescribed him first with zyrtex (4 ml) twice a day together with prospan dried ivy leaf and muscosolven. After a week i changed the medicine to actified cough and cold (4ml) three times a day. I think it better for me to start keep a record for his health record just for future reference.

December 11,2006

Today I have a sore throat, malas betul nak cakap, anyway activities last week, pergi shopping kain kat cairo on Wednesday and Thursday(teman Eda nak beli kain, tapi beli jugaklah sekali) and on Friday, i finished buat my own quilt but the very simple one, finally. Yesterday start nak design for the new wall hanging, probably on flower motif(the favaourite design), still working on it. My kids tengah exam so activities quilting or menjahit kena kurangkan. Next year start back with the new project and resolution. Talking about resolution, this year pun belum buat habis lagi, nampaknya carried forwardlah every year.

Excited on first day

Thank you kids, for all the comments, since today the first day everyone seem excited to comment. Anyway today is a public holiday (UAE national day) so its a school holiday and i make a special dish for the kids which is 'nasi ayam' (everyone favourite). So kids enjoy your food.
