Mc D cornetto sundae

This is my no 1 favourite amongst all ice-cream that i've ever tasted before.

Creamy-milky-'chocolaty'...you just name it..sumer ader...it's just perfect, at least to my tastebuds :) Harga pon murah ajer...konfem mampu beli hehe

p/s: Pics taken yesterday, bought from the Sg Besi drive-thru. Ate while driving utk menghilangkan rasa sakit kepala huhuhu

ikan bakar Istana

Berjaya juga kami berenam keluar lunch makan ikan bakar di Jln Istana. Organizer tak lain tak bukan Pn. Farrah Aiza yg bertindak selaku driver, cum tukang belanja kami pada hari itu (tq so much Farra!!!). Dapatla sumer org merasa naik Exora hehe. As the organizer, farra pilih ikan keli, terubuk, pari, 2 ketul sotong yg sgt 'besar' dan sepinggan kerang. Illustration seperti di bawah, apa yg paling tempting sekali??? tak lain tak bukan mestilah sotong tu kan :)

Time makan tu, sempatlah kami mengimbau kenangan2 lalu...antaranya kenangan cuti-cuti malaysia ke pulau2 time muda remaja dulu. Antaranya Perhentian, Redang, Tinggi. Si farra yg kakinya tercucuk dek coral dan dibawa ke klinik desa oleh orang tempatan, diriku yg terjun dari tebing sampai tudung tercabut (tapi sendiri x ingat), Ijah yg sakan terjun berkali-kali utk kasik semangat kat kengkawan lain, diriku yg hanyut ke tgh laut dan hanya berjaya pulang ke bot setelah diselamatkan oleh beberapa rakan lelaki (termasuk suami ku pruzz :p), eza yg bawak bf baru dia, geng2 perempuan yg tak reti berenang tapi cuma tahu terapung (kami lah tuh hehe)....ohh byklah lagi.

So kengkawan...jom kita organize family trip ke mana-mana tahun depan jommm!

on the Christmas Day....

exactly at 10am, we were already at the Mines's bowl. Being the first customer of the day doesn't mean you're entitled for a special discount, jgn harap :p Price per game is RM5.50, plus RM2 for the shoes. So we just settled for 2 games each, hoping that will be enough especially when the kiddos tagged along. Lucky us both of them behaved well throughout the games, so by all means there shouldn't be any reason we cannot perform aren't we? Nevertheless abah sorang je perform, mama cuma managed dpt strike 3x je kots (tu pun puas idlan jampi2 bola mama hihihi). Had our lunch at A&W, tapau some donuts from Big Apple, then we just headed home since abah is rushing for his friday prayer. Plus both of us tak larat nak pusing2 mines dah....mama sakit pinggang, abah sakit lutut....dah lama badan tak fine tune ngan bowling kots :p

Come evening, after having a short nap, we went out to tesco to get some provisions for the weekend. Our next stop after tesco was Manjaku, since the price for milk and drypers were far away cheaper over here. Cuci mata over the wide range of strollers yg ader....we sort of fall in love with this black+grey color but the price somehow is not within our budget for now. So tunggu dululah....trip lambat lagi, harap2 aderlah warehouse sales awal tahun depan :)

Esok & lusa plan kami lepak2 kat rumah jelah...kemas rumah, iron baju, cuci toilet, blablabla. Kata abah dia rindu nak makan nasi ayam mama, idlan pulak demand spaghetti kuah 'putih'....so weekend ni mama kena jadi extra rajinla sikit yer :)

j-card day

Dalam kata taknak pergi tu, tapi akhirnya sebelum pulang ke rumah kelmarin sempat juga saya menyimpang ke Jusco, jenguk2 J-card day yg tengah berlangsung tu. Dalam masa yg sangat singkat, & orang ramai yg penuh berkerumun di sana sini, sempatlah saya & en suami membeli beberapa items:

• sweater/jacket utk idlan & firas...khas utk tahun depan punyer trip :)
• 2 tshirts utk idlan, 1 utk firas
• 1 khakis utk idlan (utk firas tak beli sbb seluar dia dah byk...campur turun temurun dr si abang lagi :p)
• 2 casual blouse utk diri sendiri
• 5 pasang 'spender' utk idlan

En suami pun boleh tahan shopping sakan utk diri sendiri...takpelah kan, sekali-sekala treat utk diri sendiri.

Esok cuti Krismas, apa plan korang during this long, extended weekend eh?

saya masih buntu nak buat apa...boring boring......

kerjakah anda??

Gigih bekerja hari ni walaupun saya tahu hari ni dan kelmarin adalah J-Card Day di rumah saya (cheras selatan). Saya ada 2 paper penting yang perlu disiapkan utk pembentangan di awal tahun hadapan, begitu juga dgn report bulanan yg saya ketepikan dahulu buat masa ini.

Pagi2 bila drive ke ofis, jalan agak lengang. Boring pon ada rasanya bila tahu ramai org bersenang-lenang cuti-cuti malaysia bersama keluarga. Cuti saya tak banyak yang masih berbaki, perlu disimpan dan dibawa ke tahun hadapan sebagai back up bila kekanak sakit, atau saya sendiri yg sakit.

Alhamdulillah rasanya saya dah sihat sekarang. Sakit hari tu tidak datang lagi. Makanya azam tahun baru saya yg utama adalah untuk menggantikan puasa2 yang ditinggalkan...yang mana jumlah harinya terlalulah banyak, perlu kekuatan dan keazaman yang utuh hihi. Azam no dua, biarlah saya simpan sendiri...bila dah tercapai barulah boleh diwar-warkan :p

Selamat bercuti yer kengkawan......


------------saya yg kebosanan di ofis-----------

Langkawi 13-16 Dec

Kami ke sana selama 4 hari, bersempena our 6th anniversary+colloqium PHD pruzz. Hari pertama, nak save budget kami stay di Hotel Langkasuka. Rate RM125+breakfast, bilik dia ok cuma agak sempit sket...sesuaila dgn rate yg dia kasik tu hihi. Ptg kami kluar jln2 ke pekan Kuah. Takde benda penting yg kami aim dekat langkawi kali ni, so takdela excited sgt bila kluar masuk kedai HIG dan seangkatan dgnnya. Just shopping coklat, kain batik dan kain pelikat samarinda utk diberi kpd mak ayah. Lepas dinner, kami balik ke bilik rehat...sbb pruzz nak kena practice utk presentation dia esok.

Hari kedua, lepas breakfast kami pergi ke Bird Paradise. Tpt dia agak menarik, ala2 petting zoo gitu sbb boleh amik gambar pegang haiwan, kasik makan, etc. Masuk ke tpt rabbit, firas dgn idlan menjerit ketakutan...rabbit punyerla ramai...sumer jinak2 terus dtg kerumun kat kaki..menjerit kekanak tu sumer! Kawasan dia agak besar..berbaloi la dgn tiket yg kami bayar (RM12 adult, kids RM8). Then kami ke Langkawi Fair...shopping mall terbesar di langkawi. But again takde shopping aper...pegi situ utk lunch jer. Lepas lunch terus check in ke Holiday Villa, tempat berlangsungnya colloqium pruzz. Rate asal dlm Rm300++, tapi memandangkan booking dibuat oleh pihak universiti, maka dptla diskaun dlm half price. Kalau idak jgn harap nak merasa duk situ :p Pergi ke mana2 jumpe mat salleh jer...dlm pool pon penuh dgn kaum bukan melayu isk isk

So dari Isnin-Rabu...aku dan kekanak cuma lepak di bilik hotel, layan disney channel, layan katil yg empuk..sementara Pruzz pergi ke colloqium dia. Petang, sempatla kami bwk bebudak mandi dekat pool & pantai...tapi pegi pantai kejap jer..anak2 kami tak suke+takut dgn air laut :p Opps sempat juga lepas breakfast aku test skill main ping pong dgn pruzz....melepas gian setelah beberapa tahun tak pegang bat ping pong :) Overall, percutian kali ni agak relaks...relaks sbb duduk dlm bilik hotel jer..tak penat berjalan hihi. Kekanak tu enjoy jugak...especially idlan yg 'sayang' bebenar dekat bilik yg lawa itu sampaikan aku nak selerakkan selimut pon dia bising...sibuk nak kemas kasik cun balik :p

Thanx yang for the vacation!

delayed post

Entry tertangguh minggu lepas....:p

Ptg Sabtu, kami bergerak ke rumah nek Umi...kali ni nak potong kek kat sana pulak. Singgah di SR jusco utk amik chocolate indulgence (edible image gambar Heat Blast...again as requested by the birthday boy walaupun tak cantik kan :p) Rege kek+edible RM87.15. Idlan potong kek bersama2 dgn cousin dia yg cuma tua 10 hari...that is Hannah Yasmin. Lepas potong kek derang berdua berlari-lari satu rumah, main party packs, dan jerit dgn riang gembiranya. Umi ku dgn baik hatinya tolong prepare mihun, pizza and lompat tikam...padahal dah pesan kat dia jgn masak byk2 isk isk.

idlan's birthday..continue

This yr he celebrated his birthday at the tadika. We packed goodie bags for him to share with friends, not forgetting a 2kg homemade choc moist cake. He cuts the cake after they had their Asar prayer. The teachers made them be seated in line, recite the doa, and later they ate the cakes together.

Night time, we took him out for a dinner at pizza, as requested by the birthday boy. We had hawaiian chicken pizza, spaghetti carbonara, mushroom soup, & ice-cream. I think the one that enjoyed the moment most was Firas, since he got the chance to mess the table with the spoons, forks, knife, etc as witnessed by one of these pictures. Bising meja kitorang dgn bunyi keletung-keletang by budak kecik nih :p

Idlan turns 5 today!

Being pregnant with him was a smooth one, though the first 3 months I experienced morning sickness like any other preggie women. I worked in Menara T* that time, taking the part-time MBA courses at UPM. I had evening classes everyday, so the journey of rushing from office to UPM began. The Sg Besi McD drive-thru was my best friend, I stopped there almost everyday to have their beef burger, ate while driving before marching towards the classroom. I munched Mentos and ‘asam’ inside class, else I’ll definitely ended up in the toilet throwing up. Class usually ends around 11pm, at times it can be further extended should my team decides to have a discussion, which I hate most. So friends imagine what time I can finally reached home and settled…sangat penat. The routine continues until one night where I throw up in front of our house gate (tak sempat bukak pagar lagi pon :p) What I knew the very next morning I told my hubby that I wanted to quit. Soon after, I submitted my application and yes, I felt extremely relieved :)

I enjoyed my pregnancy to the fullest, had no complication and whatnot, and I gained 19kg when I reached the full term…sgt boyot okeh! But luck was not with me, the baby was in breech condition since my 7th month. He just refused to turn till the gynae decides to cut me on the 38th week, 2 weeks earlier than his EDD which falls on Christmas. We chose 10th December since it was on Friday, org kata Jumaat membawa berkat kan :) After the Friday prayer (alamak suddenly I don’t remember the exact time ampunkan mama son!) he came into this world, we named him Muhammad Idlan Farhan (keadilan, riang gembira), tho masa mula2 dulu amongst my favourite was Arif Farhan.

The journey of raising him up was not an easy one. He suffered from prolonged constipation that made us to keep on changing his formula from one to another, dari yg murah ke yg mahal you just named it. On top of that he has eczema, so that explained the frequent visits to several paeds and skin specialist (we even put him on homeopati once, really sad to seeing him scratching here n there). He constipates no more after we changed the formula to Enfakid (he was 3 going to 4 if I were not mistaken), Alhamdulillah sangat2. And now his eczema is lessening, kulit pon dah licin, I presume his own antibody has already got used to it. Kata org tua2, bila kecik susah jaga, bila dah besar senang nak dijaga. I absolutely agree with this, we haven’t had much issue with him, he is one child that’s easy to take care of. Until recently after he got an adik, perangai dia sedikit berubah. Dah pandai demand itu ini, at times he even threatened us with this and that. But I think that’s normal for boys of his age. He quarrels with Firas a lot, scold his adik whenever adik is up to something that belongs to him…tapi itula, we don’t blame him at all times sbb adik mmg suke carik pasal dgn si abang :p I couldn’t imagine if we have another boys in the house hohoho. Aiseh takleh sambung dah…bos tetiba soh pegi workshop kat hotel singgahsana iskkk…..

To my dearest Idlan Farhan,
Happy 5th Birthday to You!
Moga dirimu sentiasa sihat dan dilindungi olehNya selalu.
Moga menjadi anak yg soleh, dan menjadi kebanggaan mama & abah.
We luv you with all our hearts!

Hugs n kisses,
Mama-Abah-adik Firas

HTC Touch 3G

Sabtu pagi masih berfikir-fikir....sabtu ptg terus kami ke Mines dan tangkap ni.

So selamat tinggal nokia daunku....jasamu ku kenang :)

Anyway saya masih simpan nokia daun tu. Harga trade-in cuma rm80...baik simpan ye dak.

Saya agak stress la jugak sbb tak reti nak guna phone baru ni. Nak answer call pon terkial-kial.

Lagi stress bila byk contact dan sms yg hilang...maknanye data tu sumer tersimpan dlm phone lama...bukan sim card. Leceh sungguh.

Lepas ni plan nak jumpe sikulat atau ijah sbb mereka pengguna htc jugak....dan yg penting mereka cerdik bab2 gadget ni, kena mintak tolong sifu set kan few settings :p Manual terlalu sempoi dan tidak membantu langsung....

aduhai....dah ada phone baru pon susah rupanya hum hummmm

dilema

Nokia daun ku dah semakin nazak. Bila bercakap tetiba phone padam tho battery tunjuk full bar. Bila charge bateri, kekadang susah sgt nak on tak tahu kenapa. Husband ckp bateri dah nak kong. Kalau beli bateri bukan original, mungkin dlm rm30-40.

Haruskah ku tukar bateri, atau tukar phone terus?.....considering usia nokia daun ku ini dah menginjak almost 5 tahun kots....rasanya dulu beli tahun 2004 masa dekat cyber....skarang dah hampir nak masuk tahun baru. Tahun baru phone baru justified kah???

Oh kelmarin pulang dari ofis saya singgah ke jusco, saja nak menghilangkan rasa penat lelah bekerja+boring yg melanda sejak dua menjak ni. Dalam masa 1 jam sempatlah saya capai sepasang kasut carlo rino at 50% off, shirt Snails utk husband sempena anniversary kami minggu depan...juga at 50% off, 2 pasang baju tido utk firas....yepp tu saje.

Utk idlan saya tak beli pepe, sbb nanti kami plan nak beli hadiah besday dia minggu depan. Kek besday dia kami dah tempah di SR...ada gambar edible kawan ben 10, rege RM87.15...mahal kan?? tapi dah mama dia malas bangat nak baking....nak wat camner. Itu kek utk mkn2 di rumah nek umi pada sabtu depan. Utk celebration di nursery, husband kata kalau nak tempah kat SR jugak kopak la poket...indirectly itu adalah hint supaya mama bake sendiri hohoho.
Insya Allah saya cuba rajinkan diri dan bakar seketul kek utk dibawa ke nursery kamis depan. Barang2 utk party packs husband dah beli tadi.....so probably malam ni kami akan pack kan siap2 dlm plastik. Tahun ni takder majlis besar-besaran kerana budget agak ketat di akhir tahun ni. Insya allah kami akan berada di Langkawi on the upcoming anniversary minggu depan. Sebenarnya bukan utk anniversary pon, tapi pegi utk conference phd husband yg jatuh sehari selepas anniversary kami.....so aku pon of coursela nak menyibuk ikut sekali kan :)

Tumpang glamer sekejaps :p

Anyway, kali ni dpt token kecik jer...takde cash money cam dedulu, probably budget kurang kot..maklumla, we're now at WAR....nak kata incumbent pon dah tak betul sbb compared to Ma*is, kite punyer market cap and customer base makin mengecil.

p/s: Kpd kengkawan yg nak order kek, ampun sesgt...ntah kenape lately mood baking makin takder, rasa malas sesgt. Mungkin sbb penat+bz dgn keje...saya jadi malas bab lelain tuh. In fact mood nak berblogging pon makin kureng hence explaining the lesser updates you get from this blog. Anyway, have a happy upcoming weekend peeps!
