perkembangan terkini

semalam nak post gambar2 nie, tapi blogger.com tersangkut2, lembap yang amat. nak taruk gambar perkembangan kat depan.

dah janji tak nak beli pokok, tapi beli jugakkk... dah seminggu pokok2 tu duduk dalam pasu tapi hari nie baru la win tanam. tu pun tinggal 3 pasu lagi, tak tahan dah, panasssss... penat pun iye. dari minggu lepas asyik penat ajek... nie semua sebab lupron : )...

DAN... rambut baru : D...

kepenatan & kepanasan

semalam jadik super(??) surirumah. berhempas-pulas buat kerja kat taman dari pukul 10 pagi sampai la ke pukul 2 ptg. basuh & sidai baju, masak daging panggang utk makan malam & kalau tu semua tak cukup, sempat selit buat kuih apam beras.

tidur lambat tengok tv. bangun pulak awal, cadangannye nak buat kerja taman lagi sebelum hujan tapi duduk kat sofa lepas tu tertidur. sedar2 dah pukul 2!!!... kita ingat kita handal, tapi badan tak handal.

dan jugak semalam, jadik tukang gunting rambut... bukan potong rambut chot tapi rambut sendiri!!! panas dan rimas & rambut jadik mangsa... tak membantu pun melegakan kepanasan, mungkin cuma menyenangkan kerja bila nak basuh.

nanti kalau rajin win tunguk imej baru. chot dah panggil solat lepas tu ke taman buat kerja... masuk jugak taman hari nie gamaknye. macam kena kerah kerja macam buruh mexico... warna kulit sama dah!!!...

Apa??

win jumpa gambar nie kat surat khabar Berita Harian Online. kelakar sangat... kelinik apa ni sebenarnye?? cuba teka... ehm ehm, ada clue (apa clue dalam BM??) kat banner (BM??) bawah iklan tu.

rasanye ura2 nak kenakan denda salah guna bahasa untuk kes2 macam nie. nie bukan salah guna bahasa... nie tak tahu bahasa!!!...

kesimpulannye, bahasa kena digunakan kalau tak hilang... kena selalu guna, baru la handal : D

nie yang win tengah buat.

ok sikit dok bm win hari nie???... bunyi dia tulin macam bm cakap hari2... dok???

BAHASA JIWA BANGSA

eh... orang kat dalam gambar tu, dia korek idung ke??...

keras bekerja

hujung minggu lepas, kitaorg kerjakan semak dekat sebelah depan (tak sudah lagi...). tahun lepas tak la nampak teruk sangat tapi tahun nie dah naik macam hutan. pas tu malu dan kesian kat jiran sebelah. bila diaorg bersantai kat deck (apa aaa dalam BM??) diaorg kena tengok semak samun. jadiknye kitaorg membuat la kerja2 mencabut, mengorek dan membuang.

dalam semak tu jumpa la pulak bunga lily nie. lawa kan??... kalau tak kemas, tak tau kewujudan nye. harum semerbak ruang tamu win.

jumpa jugak hostas dalam semak tu. kitaorg tanam balik kat sekeliling pokok2. tahun lepas kitaorg buang banyak pokok nie. win tak suka, tapikan sebenarnye, tak la buruk mana hostas2 nie. dulu win kata win tak suka, tahun nie tak la pokok kesukaan... cuma sayang nak pi buang2 macam tu jek... pokok tak lawa pun nak hidup jugak : )...

eeerrrr... alamak, dah buat diri sendiri rasa bersalah la. sebab banyak pokok tak lawa jenis2 lain dah selamat masuk tong.

tapi, banyak jugak yang kitaorg gali dan selamatkan. macam bawang2 daffodills dan bawang2 musim bunga yang lain. banyak sangat!!!!... hmmm... ada la satu baldi penuh. rasa macam mencari harta karun. akan di tanam semula dan mudah2an hidup.

TAPI yang sebenarnye pi tulis blog hari nie, nak tunjuk gambar nie. kat batang pokok ada terpaut kulit serangga sebesar ibu jari. dia membesar, salin kulit pas tu yang tinggal kat pokok kitaorg, benda alien nie... masyaallah ciptaan Allah... win jadik jakun, chot ketawakan.

sori ekkk... nak cuba tulis guna bahasa melayu. ada ayat yang bunyi rasmi, ada yang pasar. payah jugak tapi boleh la dok?? : D...

hhmmmm... bukan ke ada ura2 kat malaysia nak di kenakan denda kat sapa2 yang tak guna BM dgn betul??... siapa la pandai sangat kasi cadangan tu??...siapa yang cakap macam P. Ramlee cakap sekarang nie???

tergendala

there's more on the Rocky Mountain trip but i have to post later- later.ter rajin (i mean behind on) doing housework : )...

Rocky Trip - Estes Park

the only picture we took in Estes park is of Adam as we were walking off a big lunch. Estes Park is at a lower elevation than Grand Lake about 7000 plus. but it's a bigger town with more tourist trap type stores.

when jept and anis were here last, they found this Nepal restaurant. i guess since nepal is in between india and china, their food reflects their neighboring countries. this restaurant is basically an indian restaurant but they do have some dumplings in their menu. i think there are aunthentic nepal dishes out there but either the owner wanted to cater to the masses or them themselves came from a town closer to the indian side... i dunno... but the food was sure good. we decided to go there again after turun gunung.

we did some laundry at the motel... in between trips to the laundry room, chot came into the room and grabbed the camera. "ada moose kat seberang jalan la" he said... so being jakun osso, i slipped on my footwear and ran after him. we saw moose... click here for pics. there are the female kind, so takde with big horns (do i still call them horns??)... or is it that the horns fell off in the off season?? (i mean non-mating season... do they sprout and lose horns ever??... i totally don't know...)

later in the evening, we proceded to stuff our bags with clothes, camping gear and food.

Rocky Trip- Grand lake and going over the mountains again!!!

we got to Grand Lake and had a late lunch. later in the evening, chot and i pusing2 town. it's a small cowboy town, meaning, ada satu main street. wasn't that bad of a walk. we went out to get me some hot tea, rasa lega sikit tekak... plus, hot tea taste way better then cough syrup and cough drops...

why is the place called Grand Lake??... why because there a lake there silly. we went to the lake that day and again the next morning with the whole group. and after, went to a waterfall nearby, i'm not sure of the name, Adam's Falls or John's Falls... something like that.

at this point, i should tell about chot and his facination with water. he will always be drawn to any body of water. waterfalls and stream and lakes... even chlorinated pool water is good enough for him. but no sea water though... so bear with all the pictures of waterfalls and streams and all of that nature. click here for pics.

we went over the mountains to get to Estes Park, that's where we stayed the second night. used the same route we took the day before.

on our way up, there were people slowing down and stopping by the side of the road. that could only mean that wildlife were spotted. and true enough, on the sheer rock face, there were a family of bighorn sheeps... i got this piece of info from a magnet i bought. it says...

Bighorn Sheep

Both sexes have horns.

The ram's horns are much larger and may form a complete circle.

The horns can weigh up to 30 lbs, 1/10th of the animal's body weight.

the ones we saw with horns, didn't have a complete circle yet... click here for pics.

we stopped at the highest point on the route, the Alpine Tourist Center. it was really cold and windy, and then it started to rain. it was such an experience, how wonder and amazing, masyaallah ciptaan Allah.

now, there is a short hike of about 300 feet from the tourist center to a top of a hill. i wanted to climb up and be at the highest point on that route but i didn't. the dry, warmth and comfort of the van was more appealing. but chot and jept went all the way up. click here for pics.

Rocky Trip- Arriving and going up and over the mountain

the first and second nights there were spend sleeping in proper beds. the first town we stayed in was Grand Lake, elevation 8000 plus feet above sea level. Grand Lake is on the other side of the mountains so up and over the mountains we went. there is another road going to Grand Lake, a (somewhat) flatter road i assume that went around the (somewhat) base of some of the less hilly parts of the rockies... but we took the scenic route... tourist la katakan.

they did warn people of altitude sickness coz we started from the tourist center at around 6000 or 7000 feet up to 11000 plus feet at the highest point. and then made our way down to Grand Lake. i didn't get dizzy, just a little out of breath. chot and i both tak puas bila tarik nafas.

as we got higher, it started to rain. it was so cool to be that high up and see the dark clouds moving and the rain falling. click here for pics. oh yes, there's also a shot of wildlife grazing.

it is also a classic trait of us to always be sick. i was getting sore throat and it developed into coughing and hunks of phlegm. dari pergi sampai la balik balik waterloo, i was coughing... and chot experienced sinus pressure... from being high up in the mountains i guess.

Rocky Trip- Going and getting there

i didn't know how to approach the rocky trip. nak cerita ikut hari ke, nak cerita ikut topics ke??? and all the pictures...

well here goes... we left waterloo saturday around 6:30 pm. the day before, we not only got jept, anis and adam as tetamu but also 5 other peoria friends staying over/ first visit to our "new" old house. the 5 of them were on their way to Minneapolis. they slept here in waterloo and watched world cup with us. very rarely do chot & i get guests and we had such a good time.

saturday morning was spend in front of the tv... what a dissapoitnment bila brazil kalah... apa la diaorg main serabai macam tu. and ronaldinhio didn't score any goals... with brazil out of the games, i choose to cheer for france!!!... VIVA LE FRANCE... (betul ke??...sorry i don't know french...)

ok, dah terpesong... rocky mountain trip... right... we stopped at this rest area somewhere in nebraska (ke dah masuk colorado??) to pray subuh and took the first pics of the trip. me and adam!!!... semestinya!!!...

the landscape is a flat one. but as we got closer to the rockies, mountains appear, saw mountains with snow caps. the road we took cuts through rocky hills... got into the national park and parked at the tourist center/ ranger office to register and get and pay for permit to camp at Fern Lake.
