Suunah Koruss Retreat

 

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

As promised, updates on the family retreat on 11-13/12/2020.. yeayy😄

Well, a day earlier my small family and i depart to banting first, hometown of my in laws. its a tough jpb carrying all the luggage to car, about 4 trips. wow, that is what u got for living in cramped flats in the middle of the city. parking space are limited, if u are unlucky, ur car can can be as far as 500-1000 meters from ur house. well life goes on, anyhow it is. but man, im tired even before the journey begins. haha.. hopefully in 2021 we can finally moved to our new home in Rasa. Aamiinn.

All right, on the 11th, after buying all the essentials wet and dry food for the retreat, we depart from Banting at about 1 PM and we reached Suunah Koruss Janda Baik at about 2.45PM, driving with a steady pace and stopping for lunch along the way. Called the homestay earlier, we are given greenlight to check in early, only a 15 minutes early that is. 😅😅😅

A little bit on Suunah Koruss for information, should anyone were lost and found my page on it for info on the resort

 1. the resort only caters to large group only (25-35pax)

 2. situated at riverbanks, so u know how near that is to the cold and refreshing stream. 

 3. during rainy season, although the river is only as deep as ur thigh, the current is really fast. it makes        u easily tired and annoyed. haha. should a child is to swim, adult supervision is a must. 

 4. the price.. ranging from rm800 to rm1800 for a night, fit for 25-30 pax. About (rm32-rm72 per               person/day). u can call the PIC 0182058060 (Kak Min) for inquiries. and do not hesitate to ask for         discounts, if they can give it to u, u will get it. 

 5. we stay at Pak Belalang house, with 5 rooms and bed enough to occupy 25 people comfortably. all         the rooms consist of double decker queen bed- self made with heavy wood, but one of the house,           consist of two rooms, with occupancy to 15 person with outside toilet and shower. not that far, about       10 feet, close to the kitchen. maybe this one reserves for the teens and kids to spend the night with          cousins and whatnot. not suitable for family and oldies. The other 3 rooms is in separate,                        interconnecting buildings, small and wooden built, but clean with each having their own bathroom.

  6.  perfect for family day as there is swimming pool for every house there. u will not be sharing with         anyone else except ur family. 

  7. u can cook there, there is a stove with 2 burner, a medium size fridge and some basic utensils, wok,        and also rice cooker. but adviseable to bringur own too as it might not be enough for 25pax. there is        a bbq corner complete with stool but u have to bring ur own charcola and steel net. 

**All right, hopefully the information is enough and helpful**

Okay back on the retreat. after we arrived there, my daughter's sight is fixated on the swimming pool, and she is ready to jumped in, just like her mother! 😂😂😂  

So that evening, we played in the pool until late, close to sundown. in the night we soend time barbequeing marinated chicken and meat, and corn.  thats all for now, really have to rush back to pick up Airis Amanda. to be continued and see you soon!

16/12/2020... 6.05PM

Fish out of the sea!

So here i am again in 2020. a lot happened, could not update on my life as, well, i am not used to having a diary. but anyway if no one reads, it just be a place where i polish my english as i am not using it for conversation that often. 

All right, back to the subject. Alhamdulillah, it has been almost 5 months (15/7) since i started a new job after 5 complete years at Mahkamah Kuala Lumpur. What a turn of event to happen in later part in my life. Already married for almost 3 years👫, being a father to one cute daughter👪, having bought my first home🏡 and suddenly this! Allah is the most gracious, i really am thnkful for all HE gave me. Alhamdulillah. All praise are to HIM. 

Okay, my new job is the one that I am really hoping for, for having a bachelor in Agribusiness, it is a dream to be accepted here as Economy Officer in Federal Agricultural Marketing Officer (FAMA). having graduated from UPM in 2013, almost 7 years working in different field, now i am back to where i should be!😍😍😍

But, there is a twist to this. 😏Haha. On my first day, i learnt that i will be heading one of the deparment in Human Resource. what?? I am really a fish out of the pond here. Never had i imagined to be located at administration level. Well, the sustenance put me here, there is always a reason for everything. so, its not all bad, but i need to study hard about HR now. There should be something in store for me in future, i am sure of Allah's planning. In sya Allah i will try my best to get the job done wherever i am stationed. 😇

Well, that is all the recap for the readers. thank you for your attention. Also for your information, i am no longer an avid hikers, last tme was Mount Kinabalu back in 2017. but thats all. Gained weight about 30+ kg in the span of 3 years. haha. u can imagine what has happened to me and how good my wife's cooking is! anyway, i hope i can start sharing anything i do here, just for me to reminiscent on it from time to time. Insya Allah we will meet again in my next posting. I will be going for a holiday in Suunah Koruss in 2 days time with in laws and all, hopefully i can put it here for all to see. In sya Allah. Oh, and before i forget, 2020 is a year of the Covid Virus😢😢😢, people are restricted to certain rules and new norms, the ban of movement just been lifted a while back, so that is why we are going for a holiday taht we missed so much! i see u in next posting, if Allah wills it. 

Sincerely hoping for everything to be fine for everyone...

As Sobah.. Assalamualaikum and have a good day all!💓💓💓
