Arrived in Seattle! Got our spot near a port (pun?) in the wall... And enjoying our Mee Mamak and Kuey Teow Kerang... Oh wait I'm not in Malaysia yet... Wha...?! 3 hrs to go...

Arrived at Dallas-Ft.Worth Airport

Where is Tony Romo??? Ha... Wow this airport is huge. Probably one of
the main hub to South America and Mexico... And sunny to boot, abt 66
out. Aishah saw an operating amusement park right before landing. In
March? Awesome.

And we are on the Skylink now.

Enjoy the pics!

Getting ready for flight...

Getting ready for the first flight to Houston. Pray jamak Zuhr/Asr at the airport. My leg has been hurting for a couple of days, even when I feel fine, my leg has been dragging me behind... Not sure what had happened, I must have pulled something when running in the rain to the car when we were shopping a couple days back.  The funny part is that I didn't notice until the day after... Oh and wearing my brand new Brooks Addiction :).

Arrived at KCI

After a quick bagel and egg sandwich at Panera, we (with the aid of Chris and his trusty SUV) arrived at KCI Airport.  Spring break... Wow, looks rather busy today!

Aishah went to get the boarding passes.

This morning we woke up Subuh, solat, then finished up packing. We ended up with only 3 check-ins!  Afterward we cooked some Kuey Teow for the trip (ironically, going back to Malaysia).. The after shower I went to USPS warehouse to pick up a missed package. It turned out to be Chineh's GPS. Lucky him, it made it in time. We received 2 packages from USPS yesterday, but not sure why they missed just this one.. Wrong house maybe?  Also FEDEX with my Airport Express wireless came at 8:30 just in time too.  Talk about cutting it close... In any case we're at the Airport now with 3 hours until our flight.

Aishah is still at the booth trying to get our boarding passes... Wish us luck, and doa for our safety throughout this long journey to Malaysia.  Keep checking back for further updates!

PS: Ayah you upload the pictures yet?

improvement!

Well, recently, everything has improved. Like just yesterday, we had a spelling bee and I was in it. I wasn't good a spelling last year, but I improved. Unfortunately, I didn't win, but I was the last 5.
Another thing that improved was the weather. A week ago, the temperature was 20 degrees. Now, in the day, it is 60 degrees. In the morning and night is another story. It gets as cold as 15 degrees! The temperature has a big range.

Pittsburgh trip




On Sunday, we went to Pittsburgh to see a pottery show and go shopping in the Strip District. It was pretty warm in Pittsburgh. We didn't have to wear our winter coat.


Almost the whole crew!

Me with a heavy load


Hello, Ayah!

Malaysia 2010


Got tickets to go back to Malaysia... Keep watching/monitoring this page when we go for updates. Ayah has set a fine example on how it should look like!

Main reason to go back to Malaysia this time around is to attend Yeng's wedding. He is the one on the right (picture above). Yeng and I graduated together. Hase is also getting married but I will not make it (I arrive on the same day). Both of them are of my closest friends while in college, and they are finally getting married. Alhamdulillah. I will, however, meet Hase and Aatikah at Yeng's wedding, its the best that I can do.

If you want anything from Malaysia, let me know!
