I'm one of those people who can never welcome Mondays with open arms. I love the weekend too much that I start counting down to Fridays every Monday! I know I'm horrible. Although today was an exception as it was a public holiday (Salam Isra' Miraj to all Muslims!) and we had a family day out.

My mom just came up with a spontaneous idea to go watch the sunrise at the beach and just having a family day out. I was excited for this one as I have had failed attempts on catching the sunrise due to my love of sleep. So once we decided to go for it, we went to get preparations for the morning and I even invited my cousin and her family to come join us! It would have been nice if everyone from my family could come but since it was last minute, we couldn't invite everybody.

So morning came and everyone woke up late; we missed the sunrise. I was so upset but I kinda knew that we couldn't get everyone ready in time to catch the sunrise anyway cause who are we kidding? We love sleep! So I waited for everybody to be ready and headed to the beach at once. I was surprised to see that the beach we went to was full with people, and even more surprised that people can wake up that early to go exercise as most of them came with their bikes and sports attire. But I was also so so proud of their determination to wake up early to workout. Hats off to you guys!

Anyhow, seeing how it was packed and we didn't get the chance to secure a spot to put our stuff (and food) we decided to just play around for a bit and go to another beach. Hence we went to another beach near by just to relax and eat our food. We packed some light food and even bought milo kotak! Milo is bae. Milo is everything. So it'll be ashamed to not eat them after all the trouble. The beach wasn't as packed as the first one though but one thing I couldn't bear was the heat as it was really really hot but then again despite the heat, I still went down from our hut to the beach to take photos of the sea. What's the point of going to the beach and not take photos of the sea right?

Although we didn't do much except ride our bikes, eat, take photos and just talk to each other but I felt really relaxed. After such a hectic week, this was much needed. Spending time with the people I love especially my family is a good way to re-energize. They should make Mondays a public holiday so I'd look forward to a new week all the time.

Hope you guys enjoyed your long weekend like I did! Here's me trying my best to post more in the future. Let's see how this goes (I say this all the time, I know, don't judge me). Enjoy some photos that I bothered to save from today. Hehe.

3rd April 2015, marks the day my always so cold but adorable nephew, whose name is Aqil, kissed my cheeks.

You must be saying, pshhh no big deal, but IT IS a big deal! This one nephew of mine never says Hi to me, or even talk to me for that matter. Ok, just kidding.. he does talk to me but I just want you to know that he is a very complex kid. I mean, I looooveeeee kids, I always play with them, I take selfies with them and etc but Aqil.. He is kinda hard to please. You need to know his likes and dislikes to actually have a conversation with him. I did my homework and I realized that he is in love with buses. Yep, you read that right. Buses. So whenever I want to "try" to get his attention, I would always go "Aqil, where's your bus?" At first he would just look at me but now, he shows me his favorite videos of buses on youtube. Achievement Unlocked!

So today when he came down from his room, he gave a cheerful greeting which was very very rare! and of course the moment he came to the living room, I asked "Aqil where's your bus?" and he actually went up again and took this one small box where he keeps his toys. He showed me his cars and busses for a little while and puts it back to where it belonged. He was a bit too hyper and a bit too cheerful today but I loved it.

When it was finally time to go home, I tried to ask Aqil to Salam my hand because HE NEVER DOES! BUTTTT today, he DID! I was so happy so I got closer to him and asked to take a selfie and little did I know, he gave me a surprise kiss on the cheek! Maybe he thought that I wanted him to kiss my cheeks because I got closer to him but whatever I was too surprised to even continue my selfie with Aqil mission. Sigh. The always cold nephew, kissed my cheek and salam my hand. Such a good day.

If you guys don't believe me, HERE! I'VE GOT PROOF


He may look as if he was forced to kiss me but honestly, I did not ask for a kiss. IT WAS A SURPRISE KISS EVERYONE! I MEAN IT. Why would I force him anyway, I love him and he loves me........ right Aqil?
