Jalan-jalan JB

Asked if they would wanna go JB today, but without Ayah. It was a definite yes from the the kids though Ayah gotta work today.

We left home at about 8.50am. Alhamdulillah traffic & customs clearance at the Woodlands immigration and CIQ JB was a breeze.

We walked past JB Sentral to get to City Square. The aroma that came from the Rotiboy Bakeshoppe was so inviting that we decided to stop by to get some original & mocha buns for a quick bite. The buns were delish, especially the mocha ones!!

Nothing much at City Square. Thought of buying the kids their black school shoes there but not many shops selling them. Got just a pair for Adek though.

Been a very very long time since the last I went to Kotaraya, that was when Abang was still a toddler. Lama tu! Hahaha Out of curiosity what Kotaraya looks like now, I convinced the kids that there would be something we could get from that old shopping mall. Disappointed sey! Kotaraya has a new look & name altogether. Except for 2 or 3 bags/shoes shops & eateries, this newly renovated so called Galleria at Kotaraya is obviously vacant! tkde benda pat situ haha padan ngan muka kita!

Ok relax tkpe, we walked back to City Square makan Tutti Frutti hilangkan penat hehe Actually memang da janji Kakak nak makan Tutti Frutti pat situ. Then we made a move, took a cab to Angsana.

Walked abit at Angsana. Got all of their school shoes alhamdulillah. Lunch was at Mary Brown's. Fast food, nothing new. Ok la ikotkn je janji kenyang.

Left Angsana after lunch. Took a cab to CIQ. Bought some more Rotiboy buns for Ayah from JB Sentral...chewing gums syhh tkmo bilang polis hahaha ikan bilis buns, keropok eh camtu pon enough to make them, kids happy alhamdulillah :))

Zuhr prayer at CIQ surau before leaving. Happy kids make a happy Mama, alhamdulillah :))

Kakak ended the day with ice-cream from the apek ice-cream outside yew tee station.

Follow up Check-up II

Today Ayah accompanied Abang for his check-up.

hotdog before check-up haha

MasyaAllah! Everything is as His will!! Dr Lai says Abang's progressing very well..his jaw bones growing fast. There's no need for gauze 'implant' till further notice..6mths, then 3mths, looks like recovery will take lesser than that now, alhamdulillah, thank You ya Rabb!!

Next check-up will be on 16th January 2013, insyaAllah.

Beijing 2012 : Niujie Mosque

12/12/12

We left for Niujie Mosque at about 11.30am. Took the subway and reached the station near Niujie before zuhr prayer.

Decided to return to the same place we went the previous time for lunch. Alhamdulillah we chose to eat first coz the restaurant would be closing at 2pm before opening again at 5 in the evening.

We walked to Niujie Mosque right after lunch and along the way, found nice spot for foto taking :)) Everything looked lovely in the snowy weather. Sampaikan pokok botak takde daon pon cantek hehehe

Being the largest and oldest mosque in Beijing, Niujie Mosque is a must-see place. It has an interior of intricate traditional chinese architecture with Arabic calligraphy. Its exterior too has traditional chinese architecture, with pagodas & pavilions which makes it look more like a Chinese temple than a mosque. The female prayer hall is quite a distance from the main prayer hall and the interior for both is quite similar.

Any muslim who visits Beijing just gotta get here coz I guess Niujie Mosque is a must in the itinerary of any Beijing Muslim Tour.

We left the mosque at about 4pm and proceeded to the Niujie Muslim Supermarket once again :)
