Supersize deep spa/hot tub







My in-laws recently bought a beautiful hot tub. For those who have no idea what a hot tub is, it's a manufactured tub or small pool full of heated water used for soaking, relaxation, massage, or hydrotherapy. In most cases they have jets for massage purposes. Hot tubs are usually located outdoors and are often sheltered for privacy purposes. I told my mother in-law that I would prefer to use the hot tub in the winter. Her hot tub is extremely beautiful with 4 zone multi color lighting system you can individually control. Last week, Ramzi and my dear husband had a chance to try the hot tub. Here are some pictures.



My aunt died :(







It was quite an unusual time for my sister to leave me a message that says, 'call me back ASAP'. I knew deep in my heart that something was amiss and when I was able to get a hold of her, she told me, 'jangan kau terkejut, Cik Aji Enon dah ninggal'! (don't be shocked, our Aunt, Aji Enon has passed away!). I just could not believed what she had told me, because it was only a few days ago that we had a family gathering lunch buffet at another aunt's house and she had made pumpkin pie, chicken pie and some other delicacies and that very evening, she visited me at my mom's house and we were having tea in my mom's kitchen where she stayed until almost 8.30 pm. She handed me a big pack of Baba's curry powder and told me that she have nothing much for me to carry back home. She prepared all those pies thinking that my dear husband would enjoy eating american's favorite delicacies, which I felt is just so thoughtful of her. She will be greatly missed. AL FATIHAH.....



Back in the USA!

We are home! Yes, we are home, but we are not really healthy yet. Ramzi and I, we have been sickly ever since we arrived in Evansville. We had fever, cough and of course jet-lag. Ramzi is almost back on his normal sleep pattern and enjoying life back home, but still missing his cousins and friends in Miri. Tomorrow, Ramzi will be going back to school after a long summer vacation and he will be in 1st grade... :). How exciting is that? lol. Last weekend, we went shopping for his school stuff at Wal-Mart, and this evening we will be meeting his teacher and inspect his new classroom. As for mommy, I will be busy scouting for a job! Hopefully, I will find something out there.........
