beautiful lotus farm, westport :)

the famous arch in st. louis, mizzou....i heard the girls talking that should sarah slide down the arch..her butt will get burned..heheh

hmm..bag masih belum unpack lagi..masih tu ah duduk kat depan pintu..hahaha. this morning sean tak gi keje..his cold had gotten worse..so i kena go and pick up his prescription. punyerlah mahal dia nyer obat...cost like $140 ...asked him kalau boleh claim under his insurance tak. anyway, besok baru dia masok keje balik. the rest of us..as per normal..sarina very hyper and sarah is always hungry :)

sarina doing her homework in the back..ingatkan habis lah dia buat..but balik jer..ruper2 nyer..belum habis lah..isshhh..dah panic kejap mak dia.

sarah in the hotel room in penn, i guess doing the chicken dance

well, we have thoroughly enjoyed ourselves during our stay with the ciccotellis in westport. best tinggal kat situ. the seafood...oohh..the fish and chips...alamak...the calamari...haii..tadikan on our way home from the pharmacy, teringat pulak the fish and chips i had at vel's and fanizzi's...tekak ni pulak cam nak makan fish and chips..but pikir2 balik..kat sini takder lah ada tempat nak lawan the fish and chips over there...it is all so fresh..

snow were coming down on the second day of our trip. this is the mountain route through the Pennsylvania's mountains..it was beautiful.

second day...kiter pergi explore salem...dengan mat melayu :) he has two adoring fans kat sini tau..hehe. tadi time amik sarah from school...she kept talking about you tau MM. she was talking about your handphone lah..your camera lah...and something about a boy and no girl...i pun tak paham apa yang dia cakap..but i think dia dah bercampur aduk with the story in school and you lah..hahhaha. anyway, second day pergi salem kan..sean apa lagi...ada orang baru kat dalam kereta..i thought he would be driving ermmm...conservatively kan..oh tidak...dia buat hal dia jugak...but takper..MM like you said..balik singapore...kiter kena tunjuk kan dia the power of VTech singapore style. the funny thing kan..time gi kat the witch museum..the girls tak nak duduk dengan kiter langsung lah...you all know kan where they want to sit...

dinner at vel's...sarah created an impression on the ppl around the table..first she farted..kuat pulak tu..then she burped...like kak za cakap..she dropped a bomb..hehehe

my fish and chips....mmmmm...can still taste it in my mind :)

then turun kat bawah...sarah dah takut..well..the patung2 pun kira menakut kan..then pergi kat last cell...they put a live person there but pakai make up seme lah..ah kau..terpekik i kejaps...hahahha. sarina was trying to tell me dengan penuh perasaan that the person will jump us..i pulak..tak paham betul what she was trying to tell me..sebab sarah tengah melalak kan...tu yang the lady bangun tu..MM bilang kat i later..sarina was quiet when that happened..but when she was outside..wahhh..she was grumbling habis lah...hehe. anyway, we had lunch at this thai restaurant...hmmm..not that great lah but dah lapar nyer pasal..makan ajer lah :) i beli one vintage coat..vintage ni kira second hand :) lawa..nak kena repair sikit jer and bought another winter coat from the army surplus nyer store...gedebak gedebuk...dah gelap so balik lah kiter. next year insyallah, nak pergi jugak lah nengok the USS Constitution..kira the oldest ship that is still in commission.

lawa kan lotus farm in late fall....it was a beautiful day..everything was so vibrant..the late fall colours really stood out :)

the next day..went to provincetown...then pergi new bedford and ate at the best thai restaurant ever..well in the US lah for us..hahha...then thanksgiving day...tolong tolong chop veges and peel the veges...buat stuffing...then mencekik sampai midnight..hahahha...kak za..kalau kiter tinggal dekat2 kan. habislah kiter dua orang..midnight2 pun boleh makan nasi turkey lagi and don't forget the pies :) the following day kiter gi plymouth..last minute shopping after that..sempat pulak i boring kat sean..hahahha. kak za cakap , jangan lah gaduh time kat westport, balik nanti boleh gaduh..i told kak za...hai kak za...kalau nak gaduh ni kan..tak kira bulan baik ker tidak lah..kalau mood i datang kan..siaplah...hahahahahha...we went to victoria secrets..beli lah bende2 for myself...sarah asked me something..belum sempat jawab..sisarina pulak menyampuk..sarah..leave mommy alone..you know how she is when she goes panty shopping...lerrrr budak ni...bapak dia dah ketawa berdekah2...

then came sunday...kira almost macam kelam kabut jugak lah eh i ni kak za..hahha. cam tak menyempat gitu..but honestly....kalau i tak buat camtu..nanti kan..jadi drama sedih pulak lah...melalak like last year..ni kalau melalak kat dalam kereta takper orang tak nampak..hehehe...but sad lah..if only we live nearer..boleh kiter exercise bersama...makan bersama...the girls can help you with the animals..nak nak sarina..boleh lah harap jugak :) all in all, it is always an educational visit for them bila pergi kat barn :) always ada new animals kan...hehe..okaylah..i dah nak gi makan dinner ni..ni gambar sikit jer dulu...and also a video sarah and sarina buat..directed by sarina. anyway, for more pictures, please go here.
