Les Enfants en vacances a Hong Kong

  Posted by Picasa

Nina in the forefront.. tea anyone? always ladylike and maintain "anggun"


Les enfants scrambling for food at brunch :) It's fun to watch them :P

I think the best time is when you spend them with your loved ones.. and I enjoyed watching my nieces and nephews scrambling for food at brunch or dinner :)

 

Here's les enfants Bella, Haniff, Nina, Aimi, Amir, Iffah and Aisyah belonging to two sets of parents, my sisters Kak Ha and Ida.

It is great that both Iffah and Amir who left school for Hong Kong before the school holidays started both scored 5As in their UPSR exams and both got the good news that Iffah was offered a place at the elitist Sekolah Tun Fatimah in Johor and Amir at the Victoria Instution in KL (he doesn't want to go to boarding school!).
Both are addicts of Play Station! and are best of buddies.

Salaam from Amsterdam :)

Am now in Amsterdam! Arrived from Antwerpen the nite before and yesterday we did the Rijksmuseum, had coffee at Small Talk Cafe, then Nan and Ronald took me to see a real living Dutch master :) Ronald's parents are both artists and his father Jo gave me 3 of his beautiful miniature paintings and a painted skate as a gift! We went to a Greek restaurant for dinner with Enno.

It is a cold raining morning today and I need to catch my train to Den Hague.

Salaam from Munchen

Am now in Munchen waiting for my train at 6:42 AM. Jaeger my place here has mobile broadband and within walking distance of the Munchen Haupbanhof (the german can be really a mouthful). Did Bordeaux, Toulouse, Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, Nice, Lyon and the wonderful and beautiful Swiss Alps.

Marseille and Aix are really interesting. Ate Buillaibaise in Marseille.. for a bloody fish soup it can be bloody expensive!!!

Accepted coffee from Mr. Antoine Monier at Les Deux Garcons (where everyone including Cezanne and Satre drank). Tony is not only handsome :) but speaks perfect Anglais for a French, since he was a banker in England and now doing property development in Southern France.

Monaco must truly be a millionaire paradise. I don't think anybody who are not in the millionaire club can afford to have a place and stay there. Every building and apartments are really beautiful. A rich man playground.

Passed by Cannes and Nice - the French Riviera and Cote d'Azur. Beautiful sceneries along the way. I think the Mediterranean weather suits me best! Cool yet sunny and beautiful plants and ambiance.

Now in Munchen, my second time around. Munich is a vibrant place.. similar ambiance to Berlin but more cultured and refined. I really like Munchen a lot. There're also huge museums within walking distance as well as the BMW museum. Halal food is easy in Munchen compared to other German cities and I love the facts everything is within walking distance including the parks and museums.

Have to run to Strasbourg before Paris this afternoon coz Kak Fatimah wants me to go diamond shopping with her in Antwerpen.. not my kind of thing (coz I can ony afford carrots) but..it will be interesting just to tag along. I will try to do Den Hague and then visit Nan, Ronald and Enno in Amsterdam.

OK got to run to the station now coz my train is at 6:42AM can't missed this one like I did yesterday! ):
