Pangkor: Never Say Goodbye Island

 Salam. Apart from Langkawi Island in Kedah, I've always loved Pangkor Island in Perak. But the latter is somewhat much easier to go, being only three and a half hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur all the way to Lumut Jetty. From there we took Ferry Shuttle to Pangkor Island. What a lovely way to start off the New Year 2012. Yeah, this thing took place in the first week of January.

Magnificent view @ Kota Belanda
We chose a cozy and beautiful guest house called the Princess Homestay at Kota Belanda. It was a family trip of 11, from the family members' monthly contributions. We fell in love with the homestay instantly, especially the balcony. We even had our incredible BBQ there.
When everyone else was sleeping, I was still at the balcony facing the sea, enjoying Ombak Rindu soundtrack @ you.tube. It was da bomb for me, even though I'd been to Pangkor more than twice beforehand. Staying in the hotel was no way closer to the serenity I felt there in the cozy guest house.

The Famous Sea-View Balcony
Some of us...
The activities just revolved around the sand and the beach, since we only had weekend to spend.
So we skipped the Mini Great Wall and the historical Dutch Fort remains. Volley-ball, speed-boat, swimming.. all day long.

Lifetime Fave Ice-cream ~ Lemon Vanilla
Didn't plan to get into the water actually, hence the stylo mylo outfit.
Never get tired of water


The Sand Boy
Junior was having a blast
Even mom couldn't resist the gorgeous beach
We were in the water until the sun set in the west.
At night we had our BBQ at the balcony, facing the sea and feeling the breeze. Can't show you more pictures, unfortunately ~ due to non-mahram thingy, as you guys know. We even re-grilled some untouched BBQ things the next morning and ate them with home-made fried noodles. What a bliss!


Then we headed to town for some shopping, before returning our rented cars at the nearby jetty.
As usual, Mr. 'Wholesaler' took charge to buy Bilis Mata Biru, Sotong Kering, Ikan Talang Kering, Ikan Talang & Tenggiri Jeruk, etc etc etc... May Allah Bless him. The others browsed the town for some souvenirs to bring home.

From Lumut Jetty, we picked up our cars that had been parked nearby and drove back to Kuala Lumpur. The loading and unloading area at Lumut Waterfront was packed with loads of local and international visitors. Cuti-Cuti Malaysia....

Loading time

It was such a wonderful budget vacation. With not even RM50.00 monthly contribution, each and every one of us had the opportunity to have a blast in Pangkor Island. Altogether we hardly spent more than RM1,000++. Alhamdulillah.. Next time we're going, my brother the (family) Master-Chef Mie, whose wedding would be after Eid-ul-Fitri would bring along his wife, Insya Allah. 

Mom & her eldest Master-Chef son
Hurmm.. I could never say bye-bye to Pangkor Island. It's always gonna be Hi....
That's all, folks. Thanks for still being around. Means the world to me.

Much love, TPJ.

Mematikan Setem Hasil Di Hadapan Pesuruhjaya Sumpah

Image
Assalamu’alaikum. Okay, dalam banyak-banyak perkara tentang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah, bab mematikan setem ni aku nak kongsi dengan korang semua. Kita buat dalam bentuk rumusan fakta sudah la, ya? 1- Setem Hasil: RM10 sekeping, beli kat mana2 pejabat pos. Ada sesetengah Pesuruhjaya Sumpah dah beli siap-siap, standby kat ofis kot-kot la orang datang berkehendakkannya. Tapi jangan kecewa, marah atau tak puas hati kalau takde tau, sebab itu bukan tanggungjawab dia. Kira value-added service. 2- Dokumen apa yang Pesuruhjaya Sumpah boleh matikan setem hasil ni? Bukan semua dokumen, ya, tuan-tuan dan puan-puan. TIGA jenis je pun:  -i- Afidavit;  -ii- Surat Akuan Berkanun (a.k.a Akuan Sumpah); atau -iii- Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis.  Dengan syarat Afidavit, Surat Akuan Berkanun dan Deklarasi/Pengakuan Bertulis itu ditandatangani dan diangkat sumpah di hadapannya. 3- Cara mematikan setem, takde cop2 bulat bagai macam kat LHDN tu, ya... kena buat dua palang kat luar dan sebahagi

Dress Code Peguam Muslimah

Assalamu’alaikum. Kali ni aku nak cerita pasal dress code bagi peguam syari’e di negara tercinta kita, Malaysia. Straight forward je sebenarnya:  1- Bertudung putih/kelabu; 2- Berbaju warna gelap, berkain hitam; 3- Blazer berwarna hitam; dan 4- Jubah khas (kes di hadapan hakim Mahkamah Tinggi & Rayuan). Pendek kata, itulah warna asas selagi mana menjadi peguam: MONOCHROME to the max! Majoriti peguam syari’e wanita lebih selesa memilih untuk memakai sepasang baju kurung berwarna ataupun bernada hitam. Macam aku pulak tengok mood, ada masanya lengkap 1 sut blazer dan skirt labuh, dipadankan dengan blaus putih/hitam paras bumper. Ada masanya aku pakai baju kurung macam orang lain, ye la ikut mana yang sesuai dengan kehendak hati.  Dulu kami tak boleh pakai tudung lain kecuali warna putih, punyalah bosan tahap cipan hari-hari macam kaler taik cicak. Sejak beberapa tahun kebelakangan ni, Arahan Amalan Mahkamah Shariah dah perluaskan kebenaran warna kepada kelabu. Barulah ada variasi sik

Onak, Duri & Ranjau Kehidupan

Hidup tak selalunya indah. Adat la, langit pun tak selalunya cerah. Penuh cerita suka dan padat cerita duka. Itu la pun yang mewarnai kehidupan.  Lumrahnya, semua orang nak selalu bahagia, kalau boleh. Tak mau ada duka ataupun air mata. Nak ketawa dan bergembira sentiasa. Tapi hakikatnya berbeza. Harapan lain. Kenyataannya lain. Takde pilihan pun sebenarnya, mau tak mau kena telan, kena terima apa adanya. Yang mendewasakan kita itu la dia.  Kadang-kadang kepedihan yang kita rasa macam tak mungkin ada hujungnya. Itu tahap pertama. Pada permulaannya. Disebabkan tak ada pilihan, kita tetap melangkah. Ya, mungkin longlai. Mungkin juga bagai tak jejak kaki ke bumi. Tapi masih perlu terus melangkah. Dan melangkah. Tanpa sedar, kepedihan itu kian menipis. Hari berganti hari. Bulan berganti bulan. Tahun berganti tahun. Waktu akan memulihkan. Percayalah. Apa yang paling penting adalah kekuatan jiwa. Tanpa itu, hampir mustahil untuk mengawal perasaan, apa lagi keadaan. Carilah apa sahaja
