Aidilfitri 2006

Here are some family pictures on the first day of Raya for the Baharum clan. Each family was colour-coordinated and we were lucky to have everyone in town this year to celebrate at the newly completed house in Hulu Langat.

Josh has not really grasped the concept of Raya, hence the Mickey Mouse hat. Ba and Mak on the front lawn where Mak wanted the picture to capture her blooming flowers.


Umar had a problem with wearing his songkok too. Kak Ida's family really blended well with the surroundings.










Kak went for the Deeparaya look and this year is Tia's first raya ever. As for Josh, at least we managed to get him to hold on to his songkok while the picture was taken.

All in all, it was a very private raya for us with only one visit to an open house during lunch. The most important aspect of the day for me was the immediate family. My parents were happy to see all of us together.

Selamat Hari Raya

Wishing everyone a Selamat Hari Raya and a joyous Deepavali. Drive carefully on the roads, please. Maaf zahir batin.

Got me a new phone...

Ok, I have been on a mission to look for a cool phone that does not have a camera.... and I have failed miserably. Don't really need a phone that takes pictures since I have 2 other digital cameras, right? Nokia doesn't think so. The one I bought (actually wife paid for it) is more for the mp3 player than anything else. The camera was just thrown in to make sure they can charge us 4 digits.

Ironically I got my new phone on my son's birthday. Here are some pictures I took using the phone. We tired him out shopping at Toys'R'Us. Tried to make him 'like'the toys I always wanted. Heheheee... Wife was just happy shopping.



Have to say Josh was well behaved in his stroller. Probably was too tired to walk on his own. Ended the day at my in-law's where a cake was brought out for the boy. He was happy to blow out the candles. Happy Birthday Josh! And thanks for the phone, Zizzster!

Merdeka weekend getaway

It's been a while since I uploaded pictures in here. Merdeka weekend was a quick getaway from the city to the East coast. Stopped over at Cherating for an overnight before proceeding to Kuala Trengganu for another night. Then we drove all the way back to KL. Yup. Very tiring but it was all worth it to see Josh build his first sand castle.



My favourite picture for this trip. This was taken in Setiu, north of Kuala Trengganu during sunset.
