There are still many pictures from our previous adventures waiting to be updated in here. I will, definitely! But as for now let see what we're up to recently while I'm still in the 'updating' mood =)
So, last night we went to this new park. Dad and mom were having this hmm sort of casual dinner party there at the park with the state rowing boat team and some government officers (I guess they must have won a competition or something, hence the celebration). What dad didn't realize that some people brought their family along, and only after he got there with mom after like an hour, he quickly gave me a call and asked me to bring along the boys. It was a very last minute thing, and I already made plan to work at the other house so I expected that we're gonna be there just for awhile say like half an hour the most just to show our faces. BUT it turned out to be longer than that and it was actually pretty fun too!
I nicked this pic from my office network coz I don't have a recent day time picture of the park. At the time the picture was taken, it was not completed yet. This park which is called Taman Jubli Emas (Golden Jubilee Recreation Park) is constructed to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the reign of the 27th ruler of Kedah, Sultan Abdul Halim Mu'adzam Shah. The Sultan now is 80 yrs old. The 20-metre high landmark constitutes of 5 'keris' (a type of Malay traditional dagger) which symbolize the Sultan's 50 years in throne. The royal 'Tengkolok' a type of Malay men's traditional headdress is placed on top of the dagger's handle and it's one of the main royal costumes. Anyway, enough of the introduction, let's go to the fun part.
This is actually a funny picture coz the boys were squirming about some smelly bugs. Farhan squashed one coz it was flying near him and his hand smelled horrible after that. So these 2 fellas started to check their clothes too.
A random pic of Ezzat.
Mom in black and white, enjoying her food. They put up a screen with a projector that showed the Olympic - badminton - Men single, final game between Malaysia and China. China won. Nevertheless, our first medal.
Some random pictures of Farhan.
Oppss, the show has started!
Some cool music started to play, a mix of traditional malay songs, classical & modern. And our Mr Emir here started to pretend his conducting the show! He even got a balloon stick as the Baton.
Emir was really having fun last night, he conducted, he danced. Check out the video. It's pretty dark in there but you can still more or less see him in action.
Mr Farhan seems to be pretty serious in here. He complained later on that he has tummy ache. Poor baby. First the smelly bug, then tummy ache.
The pictures here are not that great, my camera is partly to be blamed. But anyway, I love the lighting effect - the pics are blurry but still colorful.
These turned out to be much better. I took them with mom's camera.
Time to go back. Mr Ezzat is getting restless. Actually it has already passed his bed time. And this boy always sleeps on time!
But before that, one final picture of the Mukthi's fam (Farhan is not looking so good though). Blink! And off we go.

And here's another video, this time with a bit of lighting. I like the song. Enjoy!
What a great park and a beautiful celebration. Hope Farhan is feeling better. Auntie Jeri
