Election

Berita Harian 28th June 2010 reported that not many Malays registered to become a voter. The ratio is 1 Malay to 40 Non Malays.This is indeed alarming.


I am not surprise with the report because many of my Malay friends are yet to register themselves. From my experience, lots of my friends have the "Nantilah" attitude. Honestly, sometimes I feel down when I invited them to register as a voter and they replied "Kita orang bukan macam kau Anas. Tak minat lah politik". I feel down because indirectly they are saying that I'm different. Maybe they are right. I am different because I am aware of my responsibility. I love my country and I want to make sure that the right person shall helm the power to determine the future of my country.


You need not to pay anything to register as a voter. You just need to bring your MyKad. That is all. Register now because time is running out. Why am I saying that? It is because many political analysts believe that the next general election will be early next year.

KIDS


Iman really loves to put on nice clothes. She wears ear-ring now.


Unlike Iman, Amni has not shown any keen to put on nice dress and clothes YET. But, Amni is still young. We will see later.

Why is it so hard to ask them to look at the camera and smile? Am I a bad uncle?

Kids... They are very fast in making up new friends. Why can adult do the same thing?
Why cant I?

Bapak borek anak rintik.
Iman's parents are lawyers. That is why Iman shows some lawyer's skill. Last night, I told Iman that if she wanted to go out and watch Toys Story 3 with me, she has to lend her Ipod to me. After a few dolak dalih, she said "Ok. But I have to IMPOSE A CONDITION, I lend you my Ipod and you will lend me your laptop".
I was surprised with what she said until I was speechless. At a very early age, she already have a negotiation skills. I believe I suppose to reply back by saying "No lending my laptop! I will only bring you to watch Toys Story 3 if you lend me your Ipod. TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT"



Whatever it is, Kids certainly lighten up our day and even lighten up the whole world

VACATION

One word to describe my vacation: AWESOME!!!! I have to say that indeed it was really awesome! I enjoy each and every seconds of it. It was difficult for me to return back to Malaysia. Today, I woke up and realized that I’m no longer in The Hague made me feel sad. 18 days is not enough. I wish that I can stay there longer.

I had explored many things when I was there. I had to do lots of great stuff and activities. Here are some pictures. ENJOY:

Amni. My niece. When I arrived, she was sleeping. I tried to wake her up. I said to her I had cadeau (gift), she then ran towards the guest's room and sat in front of my luggage. She is obsess with presents. :-)


On the other hand, her little brother, when I arrived, he kept on sleeping although I kissed him few times. He didn't bother to wake up.

Madurodum. The place where they design miniature of interesting places in The Netherlands. It is just behind my brother's apartment.


The miniature of their airport. Oh yes. I forget to mention. When I arrived at the airport, initially I was refused entry. The reason was I had not enough money to survive in Amsterdam. I had only 300euro with me. I had to explain to them that I was visiting my brother and therefore, I wouldn't need a lot of money as accommodation and meal will be provided by my brother. I think they were suspicious with me especially because according to my passport, the last place I visited is Saudi Arabia. I had to gave my sister-in-law's phone number and the Immigration officer called her. My sis-in-law came to the rescue. :-)

The palace


The Parliament and Prime Minister's office. Anas and politics cant be separated. They were on the heat of general election when I was there. The election was a day before my departure back to Malaysia. I will write about my comments on their election result later. :-)


I AMsterdam


Bicycle tour with my brother. Initially, it was not raining but after half of the journey, it started to rain. Nevertheless, it was great. It will be an unforgettable memories.

Windmill in the middle of Amsterdam

Volundum: The fishing village


Delft: The old church


The view inside the old church


Delft: The new church (Royal Monument Tower). 276 stairs. I climbed it! Very tiring but it paid off. :-)

The prove that I climbed the tower!


The view from the tower.


Malaysian Embassy in The Hague


The Malaysian Food Fair 2010. My sister-in-law opened a stall. I help her to manage the stall. We sold Pulut Seri Muka and Chicken Rice.


Pulut Seri Muka made by my sis-in-law. Very delicious. Sold out rapidly.

Few dutch people performing silat during the fair.


Amni tried to show her silat skills. It was hilarious.


Amni pengsan after helping her Mama at the stall.


In front of the International Court of Justice. This is the place where we lost our Pulau Batu Putih.


World Peace Flame. More than 100 countries signed a declaration to keep this world peace. Israel is one of the country but what are they doing now???

On my last day, I brought Amni to the playground. I had fun with her. She did not want to go back home. My brother and I had to bribe her with chocolate. But on our way back home, we bumped into a group of school children. The children had ice cream with them. So, Amni cried for an ice cream after that.


The rose garden. I know this is not rose. Sorry, bunga ros belum berbunga lagi.
