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 :)

ikan pari

giant squid

kerang bakar

semah-zue-zarid

ijah-farra-meself

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!

our Eid Adha

For once, i didn't feel anything special about our raya celebration.
Firas is down with chicken pox. I hit a quite high temperature yesterday and today, tho the fever has subsides, the cough and flu are still there. The doc at Annexe prescribed me with 2 tyes of cough medicine, 2 types for flu, 2 strips of paracetamol, a strip of strong antibiotics and singulair for a strong and prolonged cough......(letih makcik nak telan sumer tuh huhuhu.)

Anyway i don't feel the urge to cook something special for the family.

But guess what, we're still lucky coz on the malam raya, our neighbour next door gave us a 'dulang' containing ketupat pulut+chicken rendang+daging masak kicap.

And today on the Raya day, my mom+dad+brother came to our house, and mom knowing her daughter is a 'pemalas one', was kind enough to bring nasi beriyani+nasi himpit+kuah kacang for our family. To add to the list, i suggested hubby to buy some sate at Samuri but its shop was closed, so he resorted to another sate stall, of which the taste was indeed good and not bad at all.

So that's basically our raya story. If firas and i are ok, probably we're already at PD right now :p

Niat di hati nak masuk ofis menyiapkan kerja2 yg tertangguh.
Malangnya bos dah sms suruh pegi workshop esok & lusa di Bukit Kiara Equestrian & Country Club. Apa pasal la buat kat tempat yg pelik2? nak belanjer saya naik kuda kah??? Nak mencari tempat tu satu hal...konfem aku tak reti. Nama je budak membesar di KL, tapi sejak kawin, husband lagi expert jalan2 di kl berbanding diriku..malu malu :p

Nak tak nak, perintah bos harus dipatuhi. Dalam masa yg sama, kena siapkan slides utk product awareness & prepare utk walkthru session by rabu ni. Presentation plak minggu depan, yang best tu siap clash lagi dgn sessi exclusive tea-talk dgn GCEO utk bebudak scholar...aduss pening pala den!

el-sicko

Diriku demam+seram sejuk satu badan....mungkin virus sesema kali ni kuat sgt sampaikan ku terus demam sabtu lepas hinggalah hari ini. Firas plak down with chicken pox...juga kena pada sabtu lepas. Harap2 tak berjangkit dgn sesiapa....si abang dah penah kena december last yr, time tu si adik tak kena...immunity kebal kot penangan susu ibu :)

Sian firas, dlm masa 2 hari sekejap je dah penuh bintik2 merah berair naik satu badan....paling byk naik di sekeliling 'bird' dia....adesss sian adik!

Nampak gaya mama kena bergilir2 dgn abah jaga firas....bos dah sms suruh pegi workshop esok & lusa. Adui la...last week workshop, this week workshop....keje kat ofis byk yg pending, sape nak tolong buat tuhh huhuhuhu

back at home

Alhamdulillah, selamat sampai ke rumah hari ni selepas 3 hari berkampung utk workshop di Melaka. Vendor sponsor accomodation dekat Ayer Keroh Country Resort, makanya ku angkut the whole batallion bersama-sama :) Bilik sgt besar, kami diberi katil queen & single...bila dicantum, mmg sgt besar utk kami berempat! Toilet pon besar & cun...kiranya kekanak tu mmg hepi la dpt bercuti-cuti dan ponteng school :p

Wifi provided for free, malangnye kami terlupa nak bwk power adaptor laptop.... bateri plak cuma bertahan selama 2 jam jer....so bykla keje2 ofis yg pending huhu. Sementara ku berkampung dlm bilik workshop, hubby bwk kekanak tu mandi dekat pool. Lepas mandi, melepakla diorang dlm bilik sampaila agenda ku selesai. On the final day, sempatla kitorang berjln2 ke tmn buaya (tapi idlan takutttt!), pergi jusco ayer keroh (hubby sempat rembat sport shoe & few t-shirts, then diriku dpt sepasang kasut ofis baru, idlan dpt keta flash n dash, adik dpt 3 ketul jet...thank u abah!!!) dan Mydin yg baru dibuka di ayer keroh. On the way back to kl, kami singgah di nilai 3, niat di hati nak mencari ayat2 khat utk digantung di dinding rumah. Setelah penat menjelajah dari kedai ke kedai, akhirnya berjaya jumpa khat yg berkenan di hati, dan terbeli cermin besar yg kami idam-idamkan utk diletak di dining hall. Harga sgt menarik inclusive delivery....rasanya lagi murah daripada custom-made di kedai cermin. Rasa puas sgt sbb dah lama niat nak beli 2 barang ni :)

Dari nilai, kami singgah ke An Nur utk amik ubat ...ubat mata utk firas yg macam kena ketumbit, ubat sesema dan batuk utk diriku yg dah batuk+sesema+sakit tekak almost 5 hari. Duduk dlm bilik workshop yg sejuk+aircond di bilik menterukkan lagi keadaan...mujur suara tak hilang walaupun dah serak2 basah ala2 rock gitu :)

Hari ni-esok unitku ada workshop kick-off BP di Janda Baik...mujurla ku dpt mengexcusekan diri dek kerana workshop di melaka ni...kalo idak mahu penat 5 hari berkampung di hotel and bila balik rumah, bertimbun baju kotor yg menunggu....dgn cuaca yg sokmo hujan setiap hari...iskk haru bila fikir!

Sabtu:
As at 730am, laundry checked, ironing done, lantai dah bersih disapu & mop...sgt efficient rasa...maklumla bgn kol 5am di pagi weekend :) Pukul 8 lebey, abah thrown the idea of going to IKEA...mak ape lagi pantang diajak :p So ke IKEA lah kami dgn hajat hendak membeli beberapa brg. Lepak kat sana dari 1130am-430pm...tapi hasil kurang memberangsangkan. Ada yg out of stock, color yg diidam takder, dan macam2 lagikla. Ape yg best, sekotak kek Almond Daim ditapau pulang nyum nyummm. The kids enjoyed themselves very much, especially si adik yg 1st time sampai IKEA. Lari ke sana ke mari, amik itu ini, menonong je jln tinggalkan kitorang. Malam pula, kami ke kenduri kawin cousin ku di sg besi indah...mujurla dekat je dari rumah...penat banget ari tuh.

Ahad:
Langsung tak keluar rumah. Lunch masak ayam masak merah (version takde cili kering, so tak pedas ok) + telur mata kicap. Dinner cuma nasi goreng tomyam+drummet+kek DAIM as dessert. Tgh mlm dalam pukul 1am aku start cirit-birit+loya2...aduss apela yg tak kena nih. Kuar masuk toilet lebih 10x kot sampaila ke pagi tadi. Pukul 7am ku muntah satu round....bdn pon lembik. Yg pelik, pruzz tak kena pulak....so ku rasa mungkin spaghetti kelmarin yg ku mkn time breakfast tu culprit nyer huhu.

Hari ni monday...ku on mc. Baring je dari pagi ke petang....lembik betul badan rasa. Dahla doc kasik ubat charcoal kaler hitam tuh....isk langsung takleh telan rasa nak termuntah bila tgk....mintak2 esok sihat amin......keje berlambak2 ni huhu

ad-hoc vacay

Suddenly the idea popped up when i drove to the office this morning.

Since we'll be celebrating our Raya Haji in KL, am sure it'll be good if we can go elsewhere right after 'makan2' di pagi raya tu, to just spend a night out of the bustling town...:p

Got 3 options in my list at the moment:
1. bank negara resort - should my bro wants to join
2. Tiara Beach - considering idlan loves the kids pool very much
3. The legend water chalets - never been here but based on review from its websites, ahh ku jatuh cinta pandang pertama at their range of chalets....ade jacuzzi you!

Pepe pon definitely it's going to be PD...senang dan dekat!

ultraman

baby blue ultra ni baru baik dari cirit-birit...3 hari jugakla kena...
camner tak kena infection, almost everything yg ade depan mata mesti masut mulut :p
2-3hari lagi akan masuk setahun tiga bulan..cepat je masa berlalu.
Bley tahan ganas...dan suke cari pasal. Apa yg abang pegang, itula yg dia hendak.
Takmo mengalah plak tuh ...sigh sigh*


Si red ultra nih baru pegi jumpe dentist sabtu lepas.
Gara2 terjatuh kat school, dia kata sakit gigi kat depan. Risau nyer pasal, abah bwkla jumpe dentist. Alih2 ade 10 gigi yg berlubang!
Doc cuci2 gigi tuh, dan cuma berjaya tampal sebatang jer...sbb dia takmo duk diam...ngilu kots!
Kos tampal je dah RM45/sebatang...kalo 10....tak ke haru tuh???
(*kata si abah, klinik tu agak canggih, equipment dia pon agak high-tech...after tampal terus dia
spray2 kasik kering terus simen tampal tuh...hmmmm)

the precious 30-minutes

Imagine you're given only 30 minutes to prepare and cook dinner for your family.

What can you slot in within the timeframe given?

Monday- i made a simple yet 'yummylicious' vermicelli pasta in carbonara style. Done in less than 30 min, thanks to the readymade Dolmio Mushroom & Herb sauce, i just got the onion, chicken, crab stick and button mushroom sliced thinly, fry until cooked, add in the sauce....siap!

Tuesday - we had cucur 'sempoi' as dinner. Why sempoi? sbb cuma bubuh carrot, telur and togeh, couldn't find daun kucai and udang kecik at the nearest groceries shop :p

Wed- Vermicelli pasta goreng lembab....this time i make sure all the ingredients are ready in hand, as such the output pon sgtla marvellous, at least to our tekak la :) Most importantly, takder rasa kapur mee basah tuh hehe

Thursday - was thinking of having either spaghetti bolognese or toasted bread stuffed with egg and sausage. Bukak fridge tgk tomato puree already expired, opened up the freezer tgk sausage dah abis rupanyer huhuhu....so last2 mkn ape? maggi goreng cepat dimasak sedap dimakan+ayamas chicken ball. Heaven sungguh hehe....hubby ku tak makan dah sbb dah kenyang mkn food meeting ptg tuh.

Friday - sgt malas ari ni...coz i just bought croissants, muffin, apple pie, etc from la boheme jusco MV during our lunch time. Obviously the 30-min rule doesnt apply this time :p

My point is, we can actually cook something for the family within such a very limited time, provided semangat rajin tu ader hehe. Like my case, i reached home around 6pm, tak bukak tudung, terus marched off to kitchen dan bersilat, i've to ensure everything is ready by 630pm, then turn on the engine again to pick up the kiddos. Bila si kecik dah balik rumah, i literally can't move much since firas will cry his lungs out upon seeing me out of his sight, even in a minute...teruk sungguh.

Well, the second point is, why i can't be rajin at all time? kenapa mesti selective, kadang rajin kadang tak? sigh sigh :)

of breastfeeding....

Recently my daily output has come to the lowest level ever, since we got back from Singapore. Most of the time I’ll be only getting 1oz per day. It doesn’t help much either when firas refuses to nurse direct, and I notice he prefers bottle-feeding above all sigh sigh*. He’ll bite when I ask him to latch. Obviously I don’t get the chance to nurse him, even once a day. I guess that’s the reason why the supply drops, particularly because the bre*st doesn’t get enough stimulation huhu. Sedey banget rasa wei! Nonetheless I still bring the pump to office, pumping regime continues as usual, only that I’ll pump twice kalo rajin…if not sekali jela.

Singapore: 23 Oct

Day 3:
Lepas breakfast kami ke Mustafa Center right opposite the hotel. Mall ni dibuka 24hr, macam Mydin di KL sbb sumer brg dijual kat sini, nak yg branded ader, yg murah2 pon ader. Mustafa ni indian-muslim, mmg kaya banget kot sbb dia ade shopping mall, ade travel agency, ade foreign exchange, ade jewelleries....bykla chain of stores dia ader. Kat sini aku sempat sambar sandal adidas ($21) and kasut snoopy firas ($21), kasut power rangers idlan ($21), and walking shoes utk diri sendiri ($16.50).Pruz beli cap, and office shirts. Umi beli kasut. Emm tu je kot yg dibeli sepjg 3 jam kat dlm mall tuh. After that check out hotel, berjln ke city square lagi skali utk lunch di KFC. Rasanya semua fast food kat singapore ni rege dia double from KL. Utk kita rasa mahal la sbb duit depa lagik mahal from ours, tapi utk derang, rate tu kira murah la kots. Then amik cab utk terus ke airport.

Tu jela citer cuti kali ni. Overall okla, cuma penat sbb kena usung stroller/dukung firas, then nak handle perangai si abang yg sibuk complain penat jln, demand nak itu ini..memacam lagikla mujur umi ader utk tackle idlan....kalo idak mahu stress kitorang. Transportation di sini sgt efficient, taxi sumer guna meter, MRT sgt laju and cepat, town sgt bersih, jln malam rasa secure mmg tak takut langsung, cuma yg tak best currency derang mahal, so time tak sales ni tak bestla sbb taleh shopping byk benda hoho. Lenkali sape nak pegi better time GSS ker, krismas ker....confirm happening especially kat area orchard tuh. Ku upload sket antara gambar benda2 yg kami beli di sana...enjoys! Souvenir yg paling ku suka, gambar & fridge magnet yg dibeli di underwater world, 2 pics + 2 magnet for $35. Mahal kan tapi bukan senang nak dpt fridge magnet gambar diri sendiri hehehe

Singapore: 22 Oct

Day 2:
Lepas breakfast (provided by hotel) kami terus jln ke MRT, beli tiket ke Harbour Front station. Dari situ kami amik Sentosa Bus utk pegi ke Sentosa Island. Entrance to Sentosa $3/ticket. Stop dekat Beach Station, and kami naik Red line bus utk pegi ke Underwater World (stop at Siloso point). Entrance ticket: $22.90 adult, $14.60 kids. Almost double the price of Aquaria kan sgt mahal! Tapi considering idlan nak sgt2 tgk fish dan alang2 dah sampai sentosa masuk jela. Dlm waterworld firas tertido halfway, dah penat sgt. Waterworld dia biasa2 jer, lebey kurang Aquaria jugak...besar pon lebey kurang kots. Lepas amik gambar, kitorang amik bus utk ke Dolphin Lagoon, malangnyer show dah habis. Time sampai sana dah pukul 12noon, sedangkan show start pukul 11am. Kecewa gak tapi nak wat camner. Then amik bus lagi turun di Imbiah Lookout, and amikla gambar ber'background'kan the Merlion. Then kami naik Sentosa Express (aka monorail) utk kuar dari island tu, dan turun di shopping mall Vivo City. Lunch di Secret Recipe, rege sgt mahal, more than double compared to Malaysia hoho. Kek dia $5.20/slice, so after convert RM12++. Lepas lunch, kami naik MRT utk pegi ke Arab Street (station Bugis). Lepak2 dan solat di masjid Sultan, kasik recharge dulu sbb penat jln. Niat di hati konon nak shopping chiffon kat arab st, tapi rege cam mahal jer, paling murah $10/mtr, baik pi beli kat Jakel je hehe, so langsung tak beli pepe kat situ. Atab St ni lebey kurang cam Jln TAR. Along the road penuh dgn kedai kain, carpet, souvenirs, etc. Then kami masuk ke satu shopping mall dekat situ, tapi tade pepe yg menarik. Dlm pukul 5pm++ minum ptg di Restoran Zam Zam pekena murtabak singapore, restoran yg sgt direcommend oleh forumer. Seketul murtabak besar (share 3-4 org) $6, mmg sedap dan kenyang! Lepas tu terus berjln ke Bugis Street (ala2 petaling street) utk cari souvenirs. Beli fridge magnet 4 for $10, t shirt 3 for $10, and keychain 6 for $3. Umi plak beli wallet. Tak lama sgt jln kat sini, sbb bising dan rasa cam pening dgn ramai manusia. Then pegi Bugis Junction mall right opposite bugis street tuh, rasa tenang sket dpt duk dlm air cond hihi. Aku just beli handbag, tu pon sbb tgh sales. Hari dah mlm, kaki dah penat...terus amik cab balik hotel.
