Little Escapade with The Fam

The noob Aliah always feels like

the term road trip is meant for 

a vacation abroad.

I was silly for thinking that haha!

The truth is,

my family has always been on the road trips

to all parts of Semenanjung Malaysia.

We've never taken plane to go travel 

within Semenanjung

(okay la Langkawi but the rest, my dad would drive)

As I grow older,

I realize that great memory

isn't all about great places,

but great people that you spend with.

A great place is just a bonus!

The complete family, 

all 6 of us,

we hardly have time to unite.

Ayah is working in Sabah,

Aiman is studying at a boarding school in Kedah,

I am now in Canada.

Atika used to be in Kedah/KL.

We're all staying at different places,

so whenever we have this chance,

we shall maximize it.

Last Tuesday,

we went to Cameron Highland

and we visited all of the places that we used to go

when we're kids.

And we had some pictures that were taken at those places,

we did the same poses!

We also went to Lavender Garden, Tea Plantation

and Smoke House.

Cameron was nice,

but it's hot!

I thought Cameron was supposed to be a bit chilly?!

Yesterday,

we went to Ledang Waterfall aka Sagil.

It's damn cold,

but I like the scenery,

it's very nature!

Spending time with your complete family

is precious.

It feels like you have all the time and money in the world.

You just feel the love and happiness.

And you can leave all your social medias and phones behind.

Just you and your family.

Also,

I can never leave my camera behind.

I am keen in taking videos now,

because I just love watching moving pictures

and editing them, making vlogs.

So, as usual,

I did make two vlogs for these little getaways.

But wifi....

(this is why I love Canada,

the wifi is MELETOP)

Ayah should've kissed mama

This was 17 years ago!

Fam bam

The King

So not classy, lol

She's taller!!

Mama always hides behind ayah, cause she thinks she's fat

The Love of My Heart

PUTERI of SSP

I am so dramatic, I know

But my siblings can't handle that so they spoil my picture

I am trying to look fab, but I am not

Ija & Ijat's Wedding

The 1st grandchild to get married

in the Enit clan!

Congratulations to Kak Ija and Abang Shahrul (Ijat)!

I nominated myself as part time 

videographer for this wedding

but as usual,

wifi is being such a pain,

so you gotta wait for the end result.

The wedding is very simple yet the food is

MARVELOUS!!

ps, this is not my engagement

fam bam

I am so proud of this photo that I captured

Next in line :)

photobombing is that little boy's middle name

Color coordinated with the flower
I am in love with Zalia's touch

Kolumpo

I spent 7 days in KL

at my mak long's place 

just to chill with my aunt and cousin

and to meet Qim lol

(sambil menyelam, minum milo ais)

My hangout with Qim was 

like one of the best outings eva

because

1. we acted like school kids and visited petrosains

2. he bought me 3 novels; me before you, eleanor & park, the year we met

(i managed to read me before you in 2 days and the next time we went to kino to buy 

'after you', it sold out)

3. we had lunch at Chakri!!

(my dad was not happy about it because he said that place wasn't for student like us.

i know, but i couldn't resist it...)

4. we went to times square

(rode on roller coaster, it was daaamn fun! then we rode on dna mixer, it was unpleasant!

i really enjoyed that!!)

5. we watched Angry Bird

(due to our dissiness after riding on the dna mixer,

we decided to watch Angry Bird.

it was funny!!)

6. we ate at the food court and 

i had ikan paten! #heaven!

7. we went to Bangsar Village II

to buy duckscarves from fashion valet store

(hoping that Vivy Yusof could recognize her protege, but she went there

few hours after I did)

8. we went to red box to karaoke  sing along hahaha!

we also dance some hindustani songs.

oh yes, we're that crazy!

Thank you Qim!

For the hectic and crazy dayouts  :P

My awesome photographer :)

Last Month...

In the plane, 

from Canada to Malaysia,

I only slept for two hours!!

The plane was incredible comfortable

cause it was Qatar Airlines :P

Also, I felt more safe cause before we departed,

the pilot played the doa naik kenderaan.

There're no people beside me, so I conquered three seats by myself,

I could even baring like it's my house.

So, everything was good!

But I couldn't sleep because I was sooooo excited to come home!

I can smell tokmak's asam pedas, acu's laksa, mak long's sambal,

I can imagine me hugging my parents,

all those wonderful feelings!

My first transit was in Philadelphia,

I mean all transits in the non-muslim countries for hijabists

would be a bit hustle because

they always assume you bringing dangerous stuff inside your luggage.

#dahbiasa

But when in Doha, everything was smooth except for 

I felt like I was in India hahah

And the difference between Asians and Westerners is, the discipline level.

People in Qatar Airport,

they don't queue up.

All they gotta do was

run with all their hearts to the immigration checkup counters.

So the weak, petite girl was brutally being hit by their shoulders.

But I just didn't care because I was sooo excited to get home.

At the boarding gate, I was so excited to see Malays 

because dude, in Montreal we only have less than 10 Malays!!

So I felt a bit like home until they didn't ignore my smile.

That's not thunder, guys! That's my heart scattering into pieces.

For one moment,

I felt like it's true that you'd appreciate your nation,

race, culture, tradition and identity when you're in other countries.

Okay, now I feel like for every moment,

that feeling is true.

 Cut that sad part.

So

when I reached KLIA,

I smiled like the world is all about happiness and tomyam.

I can hear my heart singing,

cause I was so happyyy!!

I wasn't being interrogated by the custom, 

everything was perfect except for my luggages and my mind,

we didn't have strong telepathy!

So I wasted almost 1 hour waiting for my luggages.  

When I finally reunited with my luggages,

I put them all on the trolley

and I pushed it and I saw many people

were waiting at the arrival hall.

I saw my family but I couldn't run cause my luggages...

Tok Abah spotted me then the rest were like waving and

I hugged my dad and my little cousins were all running to me,

I hugged my mum, I salam everyone!

All my family was there except for Aiman.

My acu's family, my pak andak's family.

I mean, girlsss I could feel the love!

We snapped some pictures then my dad was like

"okay hold on for a sec!"

(cause he looked like he's about to snap my picture)

((oh well, my dad likes photography these days, you can see from his whatsapp profile pic,

it keeps on changing, he edits so many pictures, cool dad))

then....

There's like a prince fell down from the sky!

Qim came!!!

(It rhymes!!!!!!)

OMG!

I didn't expect it, I swear to God.

He supposed to go to Pahang to attend his cousin's wedding

and what was he doing here?!

But yeah,

I was shaking and touched!

He came with a bouquet of daisies!

I don't like roses but daisies.

And chocolates!!

Everything was like perfect!

Everyone was staring cause it looked like

a wedding proposal,

really.

I'm still young, so I can't be someone's wife yet :P

But my happiness was doubled!

Alhamdulillah for this blessing!

It's really the purest kind of happiness 

to be with your family after so long!

And to know that 

your parents were also parts of the Qim's surprise,

I felt more thankful.

At least I know he passed the first stage!

Hehe

Love,

happy aliah

I broke my promises

Before the summer break started,

I promised myself to blog frequently

but I broke the promise!!

I am so sorry!!

The wifi wasn't treating me so well

and there're so many things happening in my life.

And did I tell you, I have more than 5 vlogs?!

I mean,

that's a lot!

Because it's within 1 month!!

Obv they don't include videos of me talking because they would be BORING!

So I made more like travel vlogs, with some songs.

Like the cool kids, ew.

Haha speaking of cool kids;

I have never felt like being the cool kid.

I am never cool.

I am very clumsy,

dramatic, not calm, less patient.

Cool is definitely not my middle name.

But vloging is pretty awesome,

I like it!

I am gonna post all of the videos' urls soon!

Again, wifi is terrible!

It took me 3 days to upload the Chicago videos.

Hmm

Okay, can I tell you about some wonderful things about my life now?

Next post!
