Here are a few snapshots of our first moments here in Malaysia.

| Shopping has been an adventure...we hardly know any name brands or products. Sometimes its annoying, sometimes its funny but overall its fun :) |

| Alhamdulillah so far there has only been a couple times where Yusuf has felt down about being so far from home. One day when he was feeling down I got him to write this in his journal. If you cant read his writing, it says: Three things you miss: 1. Naanis food 2. Highlights (sports news) 3. Pops Write three things you like about Malaysia: 1. Swimming 2. Badminton 3. Swing |

| We've recently discovered and fallen in love with dragon fruit |
 |
| Checking out KL from the window of the house we were temporarily staying at |
 |
| Im loving how most restaurants have handwashing stations |
 |
| Malaysian Police Car... Still feels weird to be driving on the opposite side |
 |
| Going for lunch at the mall. Loving the trees and sunny weather mashaAllah |
 |
| Since we go swimming almost everyday, mashaAllah Yusuf has really been building his confidence with swimming. I think hes learned more in the last two weeks here than he did in the last two years of swimming lessons in Canada |
 |
| The blue mesjid in Shah Alam, mashaAllah it was beautiful |
 |
| The sunset from our building <3 Mashallah we are able to hear athan from our balcony. Its not very loud and we cant hear it every salah, but if our windows are open and AC is off we can usually head it and mashallah it is beautiful |
 |
| Hanging out at the pool |
 |
| Bird park in KL |
 |
| Showing Summaiya the hornbill which is Malaysias national bird |
 |
| Checkin out the flamingos |
 |
| The infamous durian fruit. We couldnt smell it from where we were but supposidly the smell is horrific. People say it smells like hell but tastes like heaven :/ They say you either LOVE the taste or HATE it. We havent dared to try it as of yet |
 |
| Someone wants to share Ibby's icecream |
 |
| Posing at the photobooth in the bird park. Ibby was not impressed. MashaAllah Yusuf was really brave tho |
 |
| Mesjid Wilayah |
 |
| Beautiful architecture, under renovation though...inshaAllah we plan on attending this mesjid in Ramadan |
 |
| Checkin out the mesjid |
 |
| Weve seen a few lizards hanging around. Alhamdulillah none in our house ...mainly on the streets |
 |
| Alhamdulillah feels good to be in a routine after such a long break in homeschooling |
 |
| Our homeschooling room |

| Other angle |
assalamualaikum sister
ReplyDeletejust want to make a correction that the photo of the fruit above isn't durian. it's jackfruit & it doesn't smell as horrible as durian :)
jackfruit = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackfruit
durian = http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Durian
they may look the same but the most apparent feature of durians is their torn & very strong smell but the taste is superbly good :)
Assalamu Alaikum Aasiya,
ReplyDeleteMashaAllah love seeing all your adventures so far in Malaysia! We miss you guys <3.
A wants to ask Yusuf: "are you having so much fun, Yusuf?"
I tried durian, wasn't a big fan. Once in Vietnam we accidently bought a durian popsicle and no one would eat it lol.
Gotta love the lizards! Once in Malaysia there was one on the curtain that my mom was standing beside and it crawled on to her. Ya it wasn't pretty lol.
I am really loving the journal entry Yusuf did, and your homeschool routine schedule. I really need to get back into a routine, I am all over the place.
Anyways I love ya, take care, looking forward to the next post already lol.
What a great way to keep a record of all the sights and adventures......thanks so much for sharing GG
