Edremit 2007

Edremit.... the land where u see thousands of acres of olive trees n famous too for its wonderful figs...

Hatice..posing with the olives

I just cant believe my eyes when i see the last time i updated this blog... this is really a record time! i really have missed u all... But then..well.... i was away for the holiday for 2 weeks.. and after we came back..well....got hit by the flu..etc... was not really in the mood to do anything computer related....:0)

The holiday was wonderful Alhamdulillah... We went there earlier than the usual date (we usually go to edremit 2 weeks later)....so the squid season was not in yet... no big squids for me this year...n very less squid i had eaten... still....it was a relaxing holiday...n yup! we ate loads of fish too...bought fresh from the fishermen's boat

That first day we reached Edremit, after lunch n a bit of rest, we went straight to the beach.Baddin had promised us that he wont be demanding the arm float while swimming in the sea this year (he learned swimmming properly only this year)... and he had held on to his words...hatice? well... she is a good swimmer... she worried us not.... but what made me beamed that day most was....the four of us that day swam together into the deep blue sea...!! I mean my first time that i had actually swim like that was 4 years ago!! and my kids... at the age of 5 n a half and 6 and a half... they have started swimming in the deep sea despite the waves etc!!...That really made the sea swimming much more worthwhile ...halil.. hatice.. baddin n i...as a family..u bet everybody was looking at us :0)

And after 8 years in turkey... i was finally reunited with my childhood love....the waterfall... i can still imagine the durian perangin... the lubuk sembilang and the telaga tujuh water fall weekends i used to have with my mom n neighbours while i was living in langkawi years back... and we discovered the existence of waterfalls at edremit! The trip was quite dangerous of course since the road was so steep and small.....2 waterfalls.. but they were worth it! It was the first time Hatice and baddin ever see a waterfall... n hatice in particular..despite the freezing water of the fall..she loved it to her very core! Baddin loved the waterfall too...but he gets cold much easier than hatice... Am sooo glad that there is the Malay in my kids still despite being brought up in istanbul....

I love nature..i love green... i was getting worried that my kids wont share my sentiment... the wild nature for adventure wont be within them... i am sooo glad that the genetic transfer from me to them includes the love for nature....

I wont mumble much today... i promise that i will update this blog more often after this... just give me some time to blog hop... rindunyaaa kat koranggggggg....enjoy the snaps :0)
