On 20th May 2015, my dad passed away. In my heart, I know he is at a better place. A place where he is at ease and happy. 

But it has not been easy. On the surface we all may have adjusted to this new life without him. But in our hearts, only Allah knows. 

I miss you, Aba. Al-Fatihah

Dhaka, Bangladesh

I just got back from a 24hrs trip to Bangladesh. 

I must say Dhaka is so colourful and full of energy! The people are extremely friendly and food is good (well, kinda bad for my diet!). 

Had a chance to visit the Parliament building and fell in love with the architecture. Also visited the "new market", which is the oldest market in the city. Go check it out! AirAsia now have daily direct flights from Kuala Lumpur-Dhaka.

The Laikar's Meet Tigers!

The main reason for us to choose Phuket as our holiday destination was a chance to get upclose and personal with the playful tigers at Phuket's Tiger Kingdom. 

I googled about it and found out the best way to go there is by making arrangements at one of the tour companies based at the airport, upon your arrival. The admission fees is the same everywhere (THB800 per person for adults) but the airport based tour company throws in free transportation (from 10:00am - 5:00pm). 


Children were allowed to see the baby tigers (not the big ones) and they must be accompanied by one adult. My nieces knows their dad would tease them hard so they insisted to in with me instead. 


It wasn't easy when you had 3 scared nieces and one who is not scared at all!


The little one in my arms wanted to carry the baby tiger, just like her bunny at home.



My dad & mum! 




Auummm!

The Laikar's Goes To Phuket

It took us months to plan. For the very first time, my entire family goes on a vacation abroad together. It was a major challenge trying to match everyone's schedule (including the kids and their school etc!).

I was worried throughout the planning stage, and it was totally worth it. I guess if there's a will, there's a way for sure! 



First time for all of us to get on board. On AirAsa of course! 


My little niece, Syasya insist to hold her own passport


The first thing we did : get soaked! 







We went out to explore the night market after dinner. There were plenty of cute decorations everywhere 


Patong Beach - it was busy but we had our own spot - the kids built their sand castles, and jump in the water back and forth. 


I was hoping to get a nice tan! 


After a long day, we went to get pampered at a local spa. The famous Thai foot massage!

My Lombok Express



Last December I went for a quick trip to the beautiful island of Lombok with my colleagues. We decided to spend the entire weekend chilling at a private villa resort on Batu Layar hill. 





The villa was simply amazing. It was beautiful and very comfy but most importantly, it has a breathtaking view, surrounded by lush greenery. We spent hours soaking in the pool and enjoyed the beautiful nature. 














Short video to summarise our trip:
