On early November 2008, all of my hubby's family members visited their ex maid, Kak Yah in Pagoh because she lost her husband few days earlier. She have been their maid since my husband was only five years old until his eldest brother's daughter..kak Yah took care of them. until one day she got married at her 40's and mama had lost her best helper ever..and they kept missing her till now. Sometimes she would gave us visit and vice versa...

My other family member shoot back to KL but my hubby and our kids drove down to Johor Bahru..just to have a glimps and have weekend day off there. We did give our kids a 'tour' of JB as we used to 'lepak' there for almost nine years after graduated from UTM in 1994. Its a refresh memories I call to the trip cause JB has change a bit from what we laft eight years ago. There are highways everywhere to reduce traffic jam at Skudai-JB route..




We stayed at Puteri Pacific at suite no 910 that we got discounted rate (recommended from Anwar's brother's friend which is 'staff' of the hotel). The kids was so excited especially the two boys, they bath at the bath tub as it a pool already even houghI told them they can go to the swimming pool..

After refreshing ourselves, six of us walk to Kotaraya..one of the shopping complex we used to go when we were in JB.and yet it still look the same, just minor changes here and there. The nice thing about Kotaraya is there are more malay visitors compare to other races as there are few places that suits each races like Holiday Plaza and City Square are famous with chinese visitors, bazar along sg segget are haven to Indians in Johor Bahru..and that time was just few days before deepavali and my kids witness how they went shopping from the hotel room as they can see from there quite clearly..

It's not complete going to JB if we're not visiting Anwar's uncle, Uncle Kamal (his mother's brother) at Kg Melayu Majidee..again another old malay residence area in JB.They are so so nice people, will entertain us no matter how busy they are and how exhausted they will be. I always love aunty Antin's cookings and now her daughter-in-law Lin is as good as her through time. Thank you so much aunty-uncle for your hospitality..

There will be chapter two..but this time Iskandar Open 2008, make us get back again..Golf fever is in the air!!
