habitat rich in flavors

fresh mint and crispy parsley that's kampung life

my childhood memories
enjoy outdoorsy games
learn about nature
endure the monsoon seasons
smell and sound of rain so soothing
early rise and shine for school
awaken by the cool water from the well
lazy days during weekends
  picking flowers for melor-chain in the garden
dashed to the river for a swim
flying kites in the paddy fields

ice cream flavor soft and creamy that's Taman Guru  life

start serious teenager life
a lot to study and excell
work hard to be role model
reading novel and wonder
watching TV and wishing
nothing wrong in daydream
as this will crystallise to a diamond
aim high for a bright future
going abroad is the goal

Spicy and tantalising that's oversea bedsitters life

where friends become family
experience shape into confident attitude
first in 30,connaught street uptown
venture in 8,st michael avenue by the park
lonely 88 claude road somewhere welsh
blissful 54 plantagenet street across the bridge
nottingham studio for honeymoon
life is complete with hubby, baby and degree


tutti fruity flavor
rent- on -the- move life

Gua Musang first posting to the outback
building a family in rural Tanah Merah
dormy taman sutera in the south
    when children left home to further studies  
 seri bayu lodge  by the sea
while work progress left me estranged
 lofty kota  damansara urban hub
blessed harvest season come rushing in
pick up the cultures of msia along the way
blend in modern lifestyles

chocolate and anything nutty 

 that's terrace house in saujana

its the nest name 21 tree-hill
a deserted  drive from Shah Alam
with view of hills , valleys and lakes
but cant avoid the congested road
as many residential homes are booming
a little luxury  to compensate the busy bees
a one stop center to my children
a place to chill after a hard day's work
ready for reception and banquet
welcoming in-laws and family gatherings

raisins and dried fruits thats 

the family home in Beris Jambu

old folk home after retirement
will retreat into gardening
smell and sight of plants are theraupetic
as  i gracefully wither and reflect calmness 
waiting for the grandchildren 
to come and cheer up during festive seasons
all family treasures and momentos  cherished
lifelong stories and experiences  retold
keeping up the legacy to my children

Wedding bells

Wedding bells in the family over and over
Colour themes evolved
Maroon for farhana's and fushsia for hisyam's
Turqoise color of opal for nuha
Purple shades of lavender for tasneem
Yellow goldie  for dhuha who love daffodils

My mind boggles again
What is the trendy color for amin
So a combination of green and pink
Apple green and pink cherry blossoms
for a fresh start in life

Next is booking a venue
At home, in a hall, garden or by the beach
Lets try a golf resort
spacious like a hall but cosy like at home
Cool surrounded by greenery

Caterer who caters food also dressings
Can set a buffet for the newlyweds
Or a dais for photo sessions
Create decorations to suit the theme
Go catch this special wedding planner

Listing the guests even tedious
Design a card leave it to amin
Need new ideas but must be approved
Doorgifts turn easy through the net
But scouting from shops will be more fun

Lace attire bought in Acheh
The linings and plain from Jakel
The glam aunties need matching dress
Also the siblings as maids of honour
Have to visit the dressmaker soon

Where to stay on that special day
In terengganu need lodgings
Here need homestay
To accomodate dear families
Its just like having a family day
