Japan = Cotton

Salam ladies..

The are so many holidays in autumn season. The reason being is because the weather allows most of outdoor activities. Therefore, most of the cultural festivals are going to be held in this season.

Last Tuesday was again a public holiday in Nov. wee..I lov Nov and autumn!But, my husband had to work T_T I didn't get it T_T..However, I didn't grief so much about it cause..I had followed 'rombongan cik yan ke kedai kain di Nagoya=p'. Yey!!

Cik yan..spotted the most front..(next to me). We went with Puan Shaz yg sedang sarat tp lg gagah angkat kain dpd kami..fuhh (but, I didn't have picture of Pn. Shaz..ampun T_T)

Actually, the visit mainly for Pn. Shaz whose going to go back to Malaysia for good. The one with the least reason to join was me=p Since I had bought lots of kain already when I was in Tokyo during eid fitri=) hihi..But, I joined to experience kedai kain di Nagoya pule..Naseb baek my hubby let me go=) haha..but he kept reminding me about kain yang berele2 yg dh beli kt Tokyo tu T_T..
The yields...Cik Yan bought EIGHT kains..Shaz..I think she got TWENTY kot=| I just bought two. See above..only these two had catched my eyes that evening..Alhamdulillah..kalo byk abes2 T_T..I think my hubby really had trained me well about this. I used to be a person who buys without thinking any further=p
Japanese cotton is so thick..it's of course the prove of quality wise. If we go to Malaysia textiles, japanese cotton are usually separated and very costly compared with other cottons. That's why we girls are crazy about cotton here=) Still, I had a hard time to fall in love in them T-T..I think because there are too many of kains..I was incapable of doing a more detail scanning..sigh T_T..

Because it is so thick..we had a hard time to carry them.
Oh yes, we went there by densha..more convenient to go with bunch of girls there=)
So, if you guys thinking to buy without wanting to carry them, you can always visit their website and made an online order or purchase=)

Click here to view more of their collections. oh well, seeing them with ur eyes will not be the same seeing through screen=)

I forgot to take the pictures of the kedai la..
Coz so busy scanning all over kedai..sigh T-T..and I had this mind setting that I'll be coming back again =p ahhaha..

Quote of the day:
Cotton as omiyage is def better than keychain!Lol!

My Autumn Tales;p


Salam girls..

I am so worried for my husband. He got back from work at 3 a.m and has to go back at 9 this morning. He must be soo tired and I am demam!!No use at all T_T..but well, I have taken the meds this morning. Let's give my system to work on it ^_^..

I was so determine to leave Hiroshima on last Thursday (meaning I have to skip Friday working day=p). I didn't know how I did that..I just follow my heart =)..so, I will have extra time with hubby.yey! However, along the way in shinkansen I felt really guilty.
OMG..I am really this good??T_T..so, I tried so hard to not neglect my work by tagging them along with me and promised the papers that I won't neglect them!So, to make myself feeling less guilty, I decided to write a report in the shinkansen (oh yes, shinkansen is so comfortable. There's plugs for every seat and table and toilet..and attendant all la.mcm dlm flight). However, after 15 minutes..my head was spinning..I could not lift my head or even my eyelid. OMG..I am so old that I was not strong enough to read or do anything brainy inside a moving element T-T..The headache gotten more severe as hours went by T-T..

I was supposed to jump like a kid when I saw my husband. But that day, my lips were blue and my eyes were heavy waiting all system to fall T_T..so my arrival was not so smooth already T_T..and I have already forgotten about the guiltiness..as well as the work=p ahahah

It's just imagination that I could finish writing a report in the boring 3 hours ride T_T

I am so pelik..cause I could not remember the thing that I did on the Friday..(scratching head)

On Saturday??I remembered it very well!!It was one of my long dream to do it!I wanted a date in autumn for soooo long!That's why I was so desperate to go back home to my husband so we could spend time together watching momiji (momiji= red leaves). Like I have mentioned in the previous post, momiji will not stay very long. We have to catch them to get the best view. It will not be pretty if they all have fallen down.
On Saturday, hubby decided to enjoy Momiji in Korankei. I was at first feeling prejudice about this place whether it could beat the view of momiji in Miyajima.

I was so surprise to see..there were a lot more red mapples here!!stunningly beautiful by the river!!OMG..I had my jaw dropped and was smiling and relieved that Allah has given me the chance to see this stunningly beautiful creation of him. Alhamdulillah..
Look at the view there..the reflections is priceless!

Oh, that day I made 'nasi lemak' as our bento=p We didn't plan to really have picnic here..It was just a spontaneous occasion=) I could not explained how happy I was to eat nasi lemak yang sedap=p with loved one in the middle of jungle of momiji..=)
The husband testing his dslr. he spent quite a while in this spot waiting for the best light position, bla2...sigh

With the early comers of the day=) haha..v arrived the latest that day=p
OMG..the scenery is so beautiful no matter where your turn ur head into
I must say that photos collections at the end of the day are way better than our PRE-honeymoon's=p
My fav shot ^_^
It is soo exhausting to b a model for a beginner T_T
Korankei at night. DSLR should do better than my digicam. Look at the moon..if only photos can catch exactly like what my eyes had seen..
The temperature drops so fast especially at this jungle area. Hence, I got hungry so fast jugak=p I managed to try another food there..I forgot the name..but this one is like a bahulu filled with red beans.

I am now fully satisfied with how I spent my autumn. I won't feel regret if it is now passed=)

Now, waiting for spring to come ^_^ winter??bbrrr...sejok sgt T_T..Hiroshima got yuki. Let's see how I deal with it later T_T huhu..They said yuki usually come in Feb T_T

Kisah Picnic, Soba and...kedai letrik

Salam girls..

Due to oversleep..now, I am awake with big, jolted eyes=p ahaha..

This is my second time back to Nagoya since we get separated. The last time I was home, I didn't have the chance to cook since our schedule was packed. We ate outside (since I wanted to eat this and that) or..we have to fulfill invitations. This time around my husband insisted for me to cook T_T..

That morning, he asked me to go picnic by the koen (a park). I was so excited for his idea as picnic in autumn will be lovely!The weather will not be so extreme for us to lie on the field and stare into the skies=)


No heavy meals for the picnic. Just light mee goreng, daifuku and persimmon accompanied us=) The weather was so refreshing. I was soo wanting to play badminton or catch balls..T_T maybe next time (which wud b next year kot T_T)
We were not that hungry when we were at home though T-T
This is my first time trying real japanese daifuku. Before this I tried 7E one. Yang brang sweetie tu=p hihi..Seriously, they tasted so diff!This one sgt2 sedap until I want more the next day=p
Our picnic spot=)
wee...later I want a pair of boot=p

Oh well, I am not pregnant. But, I have always have the urge of trying this and that..especially food=p oh yes, specifically Japanese food. *drooling*

The latest food that I craved for was soba. I nagged my husband for soba for a very long time! (although soba is a common japanese food that you could find it everywhere=p). I just wanted to eat it with him=)

However, I didn't aware that there are two types of soba, i.e. cold and hot. Hot soba is like 'mi sup' but using soba noodle. But cold soba??

So, my husband brought me to Toyokawa. We had blindly drove to this place using navi=p and to our surprise..the restaurant was awesome with genuinely japanese concept!hihi..excited!

Can you see cold soba in the picture..the noodle is not mixed with the 'soup'. Instead, cold soba came with dipping soup. and yeah, it's cold=p so, take some of the noodle, dip it..and nyum nyum!
hehe..see..we bersila and our dining place was fully covered. It's like a small private room. So, we could perform prayer in there. It's the first time I could perform prayer comfortably when I have to do it outside. emh..later I should find this kind of restaurant ^_^

Okeh, as the price for bringing me a long way for soba..I have to give him time for his favorite activity; spending hours in electrical store T-T..Unfortunately for me, in Toyokawa, there are TWO stores located near to each other..so... T_T..huhu..

A wife who still didn't get to understand how kedai letrik could excites her husband=| I guess my husband could never as well understands how shopping malls did the same to me =p
