Flash Back: Memories in 'rumah oren'

Dear Syasyaik,
A few nights ago while trying to put you to sleep, you started talking about the memories we had in Adelaide. You would't stop talking about the 'rumah oren' as you called it, until today i still don't know what it means..i don't know why you called it that way, maybe its the orange bricks because there are certainly no orange paints. You loved the whole house especially the spacious and private backyard where you and yaya can play and roam around. It is  private enough that  ammi don't need to wear hijab when i have to do some gardening i want to enjoy the scene, dry the laundry or just lepaking there.

Syasyaik,
It got me thinking, as this blog is dedicated to all you boys, i want to start writing about the memories mostly sweet ones we had in Australia. In the end of 2008 i started a blog,http://ammisara.blogspot.com/, but then i got severe morning sickness while pregnant with waidi,  the blog was then abandoned...from now on i will start writing about memories in Australia as well as current event happening in our lives. I guess living in Australia mainly Adelaide had quite a large impact on us, it certainly did to me. Even though it was just about a year we stayed there, we made lots of new friends, been to beautiful places ,experienced the four seasons, went through the worst heatwave, yaya and syaik went to school there and of course waidi is a 'made in Aussie' baby ;).

Dearest syasyaik,
Here are some pictures of our house in Adelaide. Our 'rumah oren'.....

Syaik and Yaya having a picnic, while sucking homemade milo lollies, 

and watching 'The Wiggles' on the portable DVD Player.

 This is a candid pix, neither of you realised ammi snapped it

The huge and spacious backyard. Wow! ammi had loads of 

laundry that day ;)

Notice the dry grass? the heat are different in Australia, its mostly dry..

This is nearly summer time, it got worst in summers. The grasses

turns yellow. It was like a desert at the back

This is the the front of the house. We were going out to baby

 Mujahid's aqiqah. Sorry waidi, you weren't born yet. No pixs of you ;)

The garage located next to the house. Goes straight to the backyard.

If the door is shut down, its total privacy at the back.

Our Ford Falcon, old , cheap but still in good condition, took us everywhere around Adelaide

A few months later, baba found a piece of wood and bought some 

ropes. Voila! Swing made by Baba. You boys loved it!

Other times we had a BBQs in the back. In this pix baba is BBQing

fishes, that time ammi teringin sangat makan ikan bakar,

masa pregnantkan waidi..

Can't remember what kind of fishes they are, given by uncle zai/aunty pura, such nice people.

3 whole fish! Kenyang sangat alhamdulillah and many leftovers too 

Yummy weren't they waidi...;-)

It was raining, but you boys insisted to play, ammi forced both of you

to wear the raincoats, actually those were for adults, thats why they 

look extra big on you boys. Ammi had to tuck syaik's in his pants,

 or else you would trip over darling! hehe...

Syasyaik,
I will write more entries of memories in Adelaide. Syaik please don't be sad. InsyaAllah "bila baba kaya nanti" as you keep saying, we'll go back there for a visit ya darling, huhuhu...

Rumah Oren

Dear Syasyaik,


Ammi sangat terharu semalam bila tiba-tiba syayaik sedih..ammi tak faham kenapa tiba-tiba je syasyaik menangis, syasyaik kata syasyaik nak naik aroeplane, nak pergi rumah oren, nak main kat umah oren. Ammi tahu syasyaik rindukan Australia dah rumah kita di sana, percayalah, ammi dan baba juga rindukan rumah tu dah kehidupan di sana.


 Tapi sayang, Allah itu yang menentukan perjalanan hidup kita, kita manusia biasa cuma merancang, hakikatnya Allah dah tentukan kita disana cuma 9 bulan, baba tak boleh meneruskan study nya disana. Baba membuat istikharah dan macam-macam lagi dan memang jelas nampak baba sambung di Malaysia,jadi syasyaik terimalah ye sayang kita di rumah penang ni seperti yang syasyaik dan abg yaya menggelarnya.


Ammi tahu walaupun kita cuma sekejap disana, banyak memori yang tercipta, kerusi kecik oren tu, backyard luas di belakang, spec biru syasyaik, tv kecil di ruang tamu, dapur lengkap berkabinet beserta 'bar table'. ammi pun rindu dapur tu. Bagi ammi memang rumah oren tu rumah sewa kita yang paling best sepanjang tempoh ammi hidup bersama baba.Bagi ammi banyak kenangan manis tercipta di rumah itu..


Sabar ye sayang, kalau syasyaik bagi semua duit dalam tabung 'camel' syasyaik sekalipun, masih belum cukup kita sekeluarga nak terbang naik aeroplane dan pergi ke Adelaide, InsyaAllah jika ada rezeki manalah tahu satu hari nanti kita akan pergi melawat semula disana..


Bila syasyaik tanya kenapa ammi sedih, ammi sedih sebab tengok syasyaik sedih.., ammi tahu memori syasyaik kuat, walaupun dah hampir 5 bulan kita tinggalkan rumah oren, syasyaik masih boleh cerita pada ammi rumah tu dengan se detail nya.Syasyaik ingat lagi almari besar tu, fridge yang luar biasa besar kat dapur, buai dekat pokok di backyard, bath tub di bilik air, tandas di luar dan sejuk bila nak pergi malam-malam.


Syasyaik,


Syasyaik simpanla semua memori tu ye sayang, jadikanlah ia kenangan manis dalam hidup syasyaik dan hidup kita. Syasyaik jangan sedih lagi ye sayang.Kita cipta memori baru di rumah penang ni ye..
