Malaysian Wife, Australian Life

We’ve been in Bali for about a month now and a lot has been going on. When we first got here, I had the nasty rash for almost 2 weeks. Soon after, both Ayisha & myself got sick – I had para typhoid & Ayisha had ear, nose & throat infection. It was pretty scary actually. We’re both in & out of hospital, doing blood tests and Ayisha was coughing pretty badly and fluey for about 10 days. That was when we were spending Eid Adha in bed. It was pretty sad. Fortunately, we’re both getting better by the time we have to move to our new home. Michael was showing symptoms of getting infected but I think the pull of the skatepark house was too great that he’s fit & good again when we moved. It’s been a week and it has been very lovely. I can’t stop smiling ☺ I am thoroughly enjoying my kitchen. My chicken & vegies roasted perfectly in the oh-so–fab oven the 1st night we’re here. I am also constantly in the mood to make lovely meals & tasty, healthy treats for b...

Whenever we dream about our dream house together, I always imagine myself in a nice well equipped modern kitchen so very strategically located next to the dining area that stretches out to the living area and possibly to the yard where we happily entertain. Michael on the other hand, always always wanted a skatepark built in his own backyard - something that i kinda push at the back of my mind thinking that it might not really happen but at the same time am not really bothered if it does. So when we first saw this place, i knew i wanted to live there because the first thing i saw was the magnificent kitchen and when we were guided to a lil door that leads to their backyard and saw a full blown skatepark bowl, I knew Michael would too. It was UNBELIEVABLE. The house is owned by a super nice French couple who designed and built the place and have lived in Bali for many years. They’re going back to France for a while cos she’s pregnant and apparently her mother lives next door and h...

We’re here! It’s been almost 3 weeks and so far it’s been pretty good. The first few days here I had some nasty rash on my hands and feet so I was feeling pretty blergh. But am feeling all better and Im hopeful that my blog would be constantly updated now that we’re in Bali! ;) I was out of action for quite a while before Bali not just in the blogging world but to my friends and family in KL too because we spent the last few weeks in JB caring for my mum. It was an emotional and hectic time, which I’d probably talk about one fine day. But let’s just say that even though I had to miss out on a lot of prior engagements that were planned such as meeting up and have proper goodbyes and farewells with friends & relatives as well as being there for my husband at his best friend’s wedding, among other things, deciding to spend that last few weeks in JB was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life, for myself, Michael and even for Ayisha. It really didn’t feel like we’re moving ...
