such a weary weekend

Again as usual the weekend was spent up to our max energy level. Saturday we headed down to keramat first for my ofismate, Aida's open house. We had LOADS of foods, (yummylicious i'm telling u!) to serve our unfilled stomach since the morning. We arrived there quite late, it was about 3pm something i guess and zaiti, vat and their couples were about to leave that time. Hubby really enjoyed Aida's mee kuah, and undeniably it tastes sooo good! In fact we thought of having it twice but our stomach already said no to any additional food intake, plus we had another one open house trip near my mum's:)

430pm we left aida's house moving to my long time fren, nina's. But upon reaching ampang point area Idlan felt asleep, and there and then we decided not to singgah at nina's...no point of going cause we dare not to wake him up. Kalo kejut sure dia mengamuk hehe...so we proceed and later instead of going back home we stopped at IOI Mall..hunting for the oven hoho. Masuk JJ, not many choices available...went to Seng Q, again none really catched our interest. We ended up buying baju tido for idlan and our anniversary gifts, speck hitam for hubby and a pair of gloves and socks for me. Why on earth i'd want to wear gloves in mesia? ade winter ke kat sini? hehe for info, ofis kat cyber tuh sejuk bangat cam dlm bilik server...at times i got bad headache because of the sooo cold uncontrolled air-cond. We're freezing man!!! The mgmt might think that we, human can stand the coldness like the server equipment kots :p Oh not to forget we met julie, chot and cutie aisya at JJ :) Julie borong sakan hehehe

Sunday came, initially thought of spending the rest of the day at home. Tapi since oven tak dpt lagi, later at noon we decided to continue searching. So mivalley here we come! Parking at all level almost full due to the last day Home Decor, but lucky at last we managed to find one at H level. So after spending there for about 6 hours, hunting and hopping from one shop to another (we looked for the oven in all electrical shops tau!), at last we bought one at the best dengki. It was the cheap (murah ke, pd aku tadela murah sgt hehe) Elba RM399 best offer! Kaki cam dah nak patah, plus idlan yg dah tak selesa and merengek-rengek, bahu pon tersgt lenguh sbb bergilir2 dukung dia (dia tak suke duk dlm stroller), we dragged our legs pushing the heavy trolley and stroller to the lift till the parking lot. Penat giler oiii!

ok enough my weekend's story, i'm out for lunch...tadaaa..oh btw, i'm trying to familiarize myself typing the keyboard using my new gloves hehe...weird sungguh!

p/s: kak aidura, projek masakan tak menjadi sepenuhnya as planned. Cuma berjaye membuat steamed bread pudding pagi sabtu tu :)

projek masakan

Setelah eksperimen membuat pau berjaya (1st time buat pinjam pengkukus jiran sebelah, second time buat guna pengkukus baru), hati ini tiba2 bersemangat nak beli oven plaks. Masa terluang kat ofis diguna utk surf resepi2 menarik yg bley ditry guna oven baru nanti. Dah nekad, ahad ni pegi survey oven, kalo berkenan terus beli. Besday idlan nanti bley mama masak resepi2 baru dlm internet tu...yeyeye! Macam2 resepi yg aku dah shortlist : baked pasta/macaroni, lasagna, chicken pie, egg tart, apple & macademia muffin, pizza, choc moist...adoii banyaknyerrr...bestnyer kalo sumer try menjadi hehe..kalo try tapi tak jadi sure frust :p

Meanwhile, pengkukus baruku itu akan diguna pakai lagi weekend ni utk memasak bread pudding & cream caramel...mintak2 la menjadi gaks! Dan kalo diri ter'extra' rajin, dapur lamaku itu akan menjadi saksi sama ada fettucinni alfredo (cilok resepi internet gak) ku menjadi spt yg diinginkan atau tidak :)

nota: Selamat berhabisan duit la eh kpd farra, aida & aini bersempena sale @ Sogo nih! Walaupun aku jeles takleh join sbb ofis aku jauh, tapi on the positive side, duit aku tak abis hehehe

He rushed to the dinning chair, placing one hand on top of it, the other hand firmly rested on the floor. He paused for a few minutes, thinking and trying how to get up. First attempt, tried to let go his left hand off the floor, tak berjaye..second attempt, tak berjaye gaks. Obviously he had a very hard time to take his hold body up...we were like ishhh rasa cam nak tolong jer but then we just let him continue trying and trying. And when he succeed, we clapped both hands and gave our very sweet cheering song, soooo loud so as to let him know he made it. And he, smiled sheepishly sambil goyang and henjut2 punggung cam berjoget ( dan sambil tepuk2 tangan atas kerusi tu dgn kuatnyer --> x sakit ke sayang?)....so sweet!!!

:: On my personal note, last nite was the fifth time he stumbled to the floor within a week, on his attempt to get up on his own...cam biasa nangis kuat giler.

cerita open house lagi....

Sabtu, 19 nov
Pepagi lagi dah antar idlan pegi nursery, after that terus start masak...sampai ke tgh hari. After zohor amik Idlan, then head down to umah umi. Seperti biasa Idlan memula cam tak biasa tgk umah lain, pastuh bila dah warm up dia start menunjukkan skill baru memanjatnyer hehe...gelojoh giler anak mama pusing2 kat bwh, pastuh try diri kat sofa..pastuh let go tangan sesuka hati nak terkam mama...adoi kalo umi lambat sambut sure dah terstumble ke lantai cam kat umah kite ari tuh hehe

Ptg pegi umah abg, kumpul kat sana...actually kitorang ade sort of family gathering, pot luck raya. So umi wat nasi dagang, kak eda bawak lontong, aku wat pasta goreng ngan pau and kak Ida as the host buat lasagna nyummy!!! Sumernyer sedap, perut kenyang gilers..before balik sesi tapau mentapau food lebey as usual hehe...bila mkn lasagna tuh tingat zaman bujang dulu penah try wat lasagna skali utk pruz, tapi kos nyer adoi mak mahal bukan main...mozarella cheese tu dah brape ringgit..pastuh guna sket tak abis last2 buang begitu saja huhu...beli yg dah siap lagi berbaloi, unless kalo nak buat byk giler utk jamu org.

Ahad, 20 nov
Memula pegi open house umah famy/zarid...hoho byk giler food derang masak sendiri sumernyer, ade nasi ayam, rendang and pulut kuning, nasi putih, spaghetti, choc cake, agar2...hmm puas hati giler hehe. Since kitorang lambat sampai, kronis yg lain sumer dah berangkat ke umah farra. Sempat la borak sket ngan hani and jumpe aiman anak dia yg second. Idlan cam syok plak lepak umah famy sbb coffee table derang rendah..senang dia nak hold and diri...cam asyik plak main meja famy hehe

Pastuh pegi umah farra/deman plaks, dekat je dlm 3 minit drive. Kronis still ade lagi lepak2 kat sini...bingit aar kejap umah farra. Food byk giler gak, farra wat laksa penang, mihun sup, choc cake, cheese cake, agar2...sumernyer sedap tapi tak sempat merasa sumer sbb perut dah overload. Masa aku tgh solat, pruz citer auni si anak aini nangis gegiler sbb kena debuk dek afiq, anak sulung hani hehe...sian auni, dia cam eager nak main ngan afiq tapi tetiba afiq tolak kepala dia terus terjatuh ke belakang...rugi aku tade time scene tuh. Idlan pon buat rekod kat umah farra, tengah sibuk duduk main sendiri tetiba dia terjatuh terlentang ke belakang...sakan la nangis isk isk sian anak mama.

To famy, zarid, farra and deman...tima kasih bebykla eh organize rumah terbuka utk kami2 ni....insya allah taun depan kite wat lagi turn rumah terbuka as usual ok!

p/s: to my dearest b, congrats for the completion of ur master. So where shall we start? tgk movie ke bowling ke ikan bakar treat ker?? hehehe jum celebrate!!!

ohhh my....

On Thursday his nursery caretaker said he can already seat on his own. That amazed me because last night he made several attempts to stand up, using our sofa as a support, and he made it. Two days later he startled us with another new movements..god he actually crawls! Though he's kinda late compared to others of his same age, three different kind of developments in a week was awesome :) caiyo caiyo!!!

tensinyer!

Umi called up early in the morning merely to tell me she's going to Padang & Bkt Tinggi this coming 22 dec...together with adik. I was like haaa...why the sudden change of plan? Last week she told me she's going to KK, and today she said KK was cancelled, now indon plak. Why bringing adik? because starting from 2nd dec onwards he'll be enjoying his honeymoon time after striving and battling for the spm papers.

Asked me whether i'd want to go..deep down inside definitely i'd loooove to follow, but thinking back about the budget and all that..plus the fact i'm no more single and alone all by myself..have to make passport for B and idlan somemore..budget for shopping somemore...pastuh already agreed with mak kat kedah that we're going to share 2 portions of cow for idlan's aqiqah on next aidiladha...then i was thinking to make join 1st birthday celebration with my bro for idlan and his cousin on 10th dec, pastuh 13th dec is our 2nd anniversary (this time we must celebrate because last year i was in my 3rd day confinement period huhu)...ehh why soooo many events have to happen in december?? does anyone heard any news of bonus whatsoever in dec? hehehe mimpi di siang hari la yati!

and before she hung up, she said she's going to puduraya to get return bus tickets to langkawi on 15th dec...and i was like screaming on the phone asking apsal nak pegi langkawi plak niiiii? and the answer...adik ajak pegi langkawi beli digicam, nanti tak best pegi Padang takder kamera.

i sighed...the sense of jealousy striked all over the nerves..hampeh betul adik!

then sempat lagi tanye utk menyedapkan hati sendiri, kalau dik nur tak kawin lagi umi bwk tak? my mother answered...of course la umi bwk..ni dah ade 3 org tak larat umi nak sponsor!

bila mama tgh boring kat ofis.....

Soldier tgh praktis masuk terowong bwh tanah...





Gigi saye dah ade 8 tapi depan tu jarang hehehe





Auw cak auw cak sayang mama sayang abah!

satu peristiwa

Suatu pagi di bulan Syawal - 0750; 17 nov 05

Mama tgh blender bubur kat dapur, abah plak tgh kemas2 masukkan barang dlm beg nak pegi keje...tetiba abah dengar bunyi bukkkkkkkk! Tak lama pastu mama dgr bunyi budak nangis...lari ke depan tgk abah tgh dukung dia...air mata meleleh2...mama cecepat amik dukung dia.

tanye kat abah ape jadi? abah kata bila dia toleh tgk2 Idlan dah terlentang atas lantai. Hehehe taper eh sayang mama strong kan...jatuh sesikit normal la tuh time nak blajar diri nih...takper next time cuba lagi eh!

p/s: skang dia tgh cuba berdiri sendiri, sakan mencuba sejak mlm tadi... so far bila diri kat sofa je berjaya...tpt lain dia tak try lagi :)
caiyo caiyo!!!

My Happy Family

Ni gambar masa first hari raya...mama, abah and Idlan pakai sedondon kaler maroon, while abang, kak Ida and idlan's cousin Hannah Yasmin in pink. Idlan and Hannah ni lahir pd tahun yg sama, tapi bulan yg lain... Hannah tua 10 hari jer dari Idlan.

hectic weekend :)

Jumaat 11hb: plan asalnyer cuma si Aida, Aini and Farra nak singgah umah aku esok ari dtg beraya after pi wedding mizie/ida kat putrajaya. So aku igt just nak masak sket jerla...nak test power wat pau daging/kaya resepi mak, and goreng pasta..tu jer. Tapi tetiba ptg jumaat tuh si khairy fahmy call aku ckp kroni-kronis nak serbu umah aku b4 pi wedding mizie...adoi mak terus pening kepala aku. Mlm tuh pruz pi carefoure cari mangkuk and cawan polisterin & bhn2 nak masak. Tapi byk dah licin...ramai giler org dah beli awal2 nak wat open house gamaknyer...oh pening pala kami. Pruz beli mane yg ade jer..cawan & sudu garfu je ade..lain licin. Start kol 9pm aku rebus nasi himpit..dapur dahla satu je bley guna, satu lg rosak..lagila melambatkan kerja aku. Rebus nasi himpit dekat 2 jam lebey...pastuh start la wat inti pau, pruz uli tepung 1/2kg, then kukus (siap pinjam pengkukus jiran sebelah hehe)...kerja2 membuat pau habis kol 230am. Baru nak tido tetiba idlan bgn plak nak susu...so at last tido kol 330am.

Sabtu 12hb: Bgn kol 530am solat isyak...then sambung masak balik..watla lontong, sambal ikan bilis, and goreng pasta. Pastuh rasa cam food sket...terus decide buat pau satu round lagi..so total buat 1kg tepung. Tak sempat buat dessert agar2 sbb masa tak cukup mlm tadi. Tetamu start dtg kol 11...tapi aku still sibuk duk kukus pau lagi hehe...peak hr kol 12 lebey..huishh ramai giler yg serbu..terkejut aku...dan tak sangka seramai itu hehe...

kol 1.40pm gerak pi kenduri mizie reramai...kol 3 lebey dari kenduri mizie ade lagi 4 keta dtg beraye umah aku...sampai 5 lebey. Pastuh sempatla rest kejap and merasa pasta yg tinggal setoet tu. Mlm after maghrib Pak Andak's family plak dtg beraya...sian depa, lontong tinggal sket jer, pasta licin, pau licin...so pruz kuar beli goreng pisang and bahulu utk dijamu huhu...tade rezeki derang. 9 lebey derang balik, aku cuci pinggan and kemas2...kol 12am tido..lutut lemah longlai...badan sakit sana sini...tapi hati rasa tenang & puas :)

Walaupun kepenatan, alhamdulillah food habis, ramai dtg, dan itula...satisfied giler..tak penah aku jamu org seramai ni..ade dekat 40-50 org kots...walaupun aku tak sempat merasa lontong and pau cuma dpt rasa 2-3 cubit tapi takper...rezeki mereka sumer...kitorang dpt pahala pon cukupla hehe...and yg paling aku heppy si idlan baik je the whole day...tak meragam langsung...alhamdulillah..tq eh sayang! Tapi aku agak ralat sbb tak dpt nak berborak ngan sumer yg dtg tu...aku sibuk melayan abg and akak ipar aku sbb takut derang rasa terasing dlm keramaian kronis. Sori la eh kengkawan....

Sampai umah kak ros, kami pinjam baju anak kak ros, pegi klinik amik ubat, pegi kedai bintang fashion beli baju 2 pasang sbb umah umi tade baju idlan and pruz drop aku kat umah umi sbb idlan makin teruk muntahnyer. So pruz jela yg pegi rombongan tu...Idlan muntah dekat 7-8x...susu ke air kosong ke, after minum terus muntah..adoi kesian dia..aku risau giler takut dia dehydrated..last skali dia tertido 2x after penat muntah dgn perut yg kosong huhu...kol 3 lebey after dia bgn tido aku try kasik susu lg skali..kali ni alhamdulillah dia tak muntah dah....kol 5 lebey bila pruz balik, kitorang terus pulang ke seri kembangan...penatnyer rasa weekend ni...mlm tu idlan dah tak muntah...tapi sesema plak ish.

sesaje blog hopping kat site2 kengkawan...tetiba aku terbace satu post yg menarik...silala bace...tersentuh hati aku bila bace ni....tetiba rasa rindu kat si toet tuh..apela dia tgh buat skang ni hum hum....

MALAIKAT DI RUMAHMU
Suatu hari seorang bayi siap untuk dilahirkan ke dunia. Dia bertanya kepada Tuhan : "Para malaikat disini mengatakan bahawa besok engkau akan mengirimku ke dunia, tetapi bagaimana cara saya hidup disana, saya begitu kecil dan lemah"?

Dan Tuhan menjawab, "Saya telah memilih satu malaikat untukmu. Ia akan menjaga dan mengasihimu."

"Tapi disini, di dalam syurga, apa yang pernah saya lakukan hanyalah bernyanyi dan tertawa. Ini sudah cukup bagi saya untuk berbahagia."

"Malaikatmu akan bernyanyi dan tersenyum untukmu setiap hari. Dan kamu akan merasakan kehangatan cintanya dan menjadi lebih berbahagia."

"Dan bagaimana saya bisa mengerti saat orang-orang berbicara kepadaku jika saya tidak mengerti bahasa mereka ?"

"Malaikatmu akan berbicara kepadamu dengan bahasa yang paling indah yang pernah kamu dengar; dan dengan penuh kesabaran dan perhatian, dia akan mengajarkan bagaimana cara kamu berbicara."

"Dan apa yang akan saya lakukan saat saya ingin berbicara kepadaMu ?"

"Malaikatmu akan mengajarkan bagaimana cara kamu berdoa."

"Saya mendengar bahwa di Bumi banyak orang jahat. Siapa yang akan melindungi saya ?"

"Malaikatmu akan melindungimu, walaupun hal tersebut mungkin dapat mengancam jiwanya."

"Tapi, saya pasti akan merasa sedih kerana tidak melihatMu lagi."
"Malaikatmu akan menceritakan padamu tentang Aku, dan akan mengajarkan bagaimana agar kamu bisa kembali kepadaKu, walaupun sesungguhnya Aku akan selalu berada di sisimu."

Saat itu Syurga begitu tenangnya sehingga suara dari Bumi dapat terdengar, dan sang anak bertanya perlahan, "Tuhan, jika saya harus pergi sekarang, bolehkah Kamu memberitahuku nama malaikat tersebut ?

"Kamu akan memanggil malaikatmu, Ibu."

hari raya!

hmm seperti yg diduga kat ofis still lengang lagi..ramai lagi ofismate belum habis bercuti. So ape citer hari raya kami?

Mlm raye berkampung kat ampang umah umi...ptg tuh sibuk mencari kopiah utk idlan...pegi sampai 5 tpt at last jumpe gaks kopiah kecik utk dia :)

Pagi raye aku bz siapkan idlan...org lain sumer takde pi semayang raye...so pepagi lepas masak bubur idlan, mandikan dia and pakaikan baju melayu. Hehe comel betul dia pakai baju melayu walaupun kaki suar dia menggelebeh sket...tapela janji comel! Menu pagi tu rendang daging bersama pulut kuning, lontong & nasi himpit bersama kuah kacang. Sedap giler umi masak...aku masak ape? hmm tade ape pon yg aku buat sendiri...hampeh betul anak dara sorang ni! Pastuh abang and family datang...depa sumer theme pink...kiut je hana pakai baju kurung pink...then tetiba rasa nak balik kedah ptg tu jugak...so after zohor dlm kol 3 kami bertolak balik kedah....jalan tak jem pon..sampai dlm kol 8 lebey.

Beraya di kedah : hmm balik kg kali ni aku agak geram sket sbb idlan langsung takmo kat org lain...asyik nak berkepit je ngan aku or abah dia isk isk...maybe sbb dia tak biasa kot..ntahla...dulu nak je kat sumer org..dah besar ni plak yg susah ish...

raye ketiga kami berjalan sehari suntuk dari 930am sampai 10pm..pegi berjln ke rumah sedara mara belah mak...penat giler toksah nak kata..mujur idlan quite ok...agak behave jugakla...the rest of the days kat kampung just spend kat umah jer...penat tak ilang lagi hehe

balik kg kali ni aku blajar benda baru lagi...blajar wat pau dari mak! hehe kalo nak tau pau ni feveret pruzz...dia skali mkn boleh bantai sampai 5-6 ketul. Since tukang uli nyer tangan kuat2 belaka (pruz ngan abg dia), maka pau kali ni naik lawa giler...lembut and sedap giler..lagi sedap dari kedai! Insya Allah nanti aku akan try wat...test power cewahhh

Idlan plak, pencapaian dia kali ni amat memberangsangkan..dah pandai sebut "Abah" dgn clear skali...cayalah sayang!!! Walaupun sebut abah bukan mama, tapi takpela..mama tak kecik hati hehe...ntah mane ntah dia blajar...aku sibuk train dia sebut mama, tapi nampak gaya first word dia "abah" gak...hehe abah kembang ler tuh :p ....and now dia nak masuk 11 bulan dah, gigi dah ade 8! Tapi time mkn malas betul nak kunyah :(

~cuti mode~

It's my last day in the office before i join the rest of my colleagues for a long hari raya holiday. There're 7 of us over here, still receiving calls and entertaining our customers' requests.

We had fun during the kroni's buka pose gathering over last saturday. Halim and his two siblings did a great job as a host. We managed to gather most of our kronis that day, together with the babies and toddlers. Thanks so much to the guys, whom were so bz doing the 'membakar' thingy till maghrib. We had loads and loads of food...but thanks again to idlan who restrain me for eating too much. The guys should thanked the ladies and mommies for because of us they had the capacity to finish out the foods.

I think we had a blast this yr...loads of foods at a very comfy house, spacious space for the toddlers and babies to move around, and what's most important majority of us did turned up that day....but ohhh i wished i could eat more foods! I only ate a few bites of ayam bakar and sandwiches, half plate of spaghetti, a piece of kek batik and a cup of already-melted ice cream huhu...

Selamat Hari Raya sumer!

Waaaa since ramai org posting pasal persiapan raya, saye pon nak tulis gakla persiapan raye tahun ni buat kami sekeluarga.

Well, ni tahun kedua saye sambut raye bersama B tercinta...tapi tahun pertama menyambut raye bersama our beloved Idlan Farhan....so boleh dijangka la kan kemeriahannya sure berganda berbanding tahun2 lepas. Kalo tahun lepas saye tgh sarat membawa Idlan, makanya baju raye saye tak special pon, just pinjam jubah umi jer hehe....

Tahun ini....

- Utk rumah, well takde benda baru pon yg kami beli since skang duk umah sewa jer..semangat nak hias umah takde pon :p insya allah taun depan bila masuk umah baru, bleyla wat persiapan mega raya utk rumah baru cum house warming :)) So time tu barulah boleh pening2 kepala pk nak beli langsir ker pinggan mangkuk ker alas meja ke ape-ape ker....

- Open house : hmm tade open house pon, tapi sape nak datang umah kami amatlah dialu-alukan..tapi make sure call dulu eh!

- Menu pagi raye : hehe ni kena tanye umi, sbb saye akan berkampung kat umah umi the day before raye...so ape yg umi masak itulah menu saye..tapi insya allah saye akan wat pasta special utk hubby (senarnyer feveret diri sendiri :p)

-cut apple and pear in small pieces, and put into pan. Spread cinnamon powder (i might most probably exclude this one) onto it. Add raisin. Bring to a boil over high heat then slow down the flame. Simmer for 20-30 min. Blend into desired consistency. Freeze. (according to ummimon, it can lasts for more than a week...so everytime nak serve kat your baby, just melt it in pan, sejukkan and it's ready!)

food...AGAIN???

Now that i notice i talked a lot about food during this Ramadhan. Haha serve as proof that i love to eat sooo much that i couldnt resist myself from thinking and talking about food :p So what do by and i had for yesterday's iftar? I helped myself with laksa penang and cendol (tawar dan tak sedappps), by had mee rebus and cendol. I settled in front of tv after terawikh with nestle vanilla drumstick and seketul karipap pusing....by already drifted away in sleep that time....i woke up at 5am for sahur and only to find that by already heated up yesterday's murtabak and roti john. So tunggu ape lagi....makan la! Hmm btw we bought all the foods at bazar ramadhan Putrajaya in Precinct 2. And the stalls there were like....huh so many stalls and all are sooo appealing that if not due to our budget constraint we might end up buying a lot more! hish nafsu nafsu...pergila jauh2 dari diriku.....

Oret stop talking about food...so how was our pengisian ramadhan so far? Do we perform our solat 5 waktu on time? Manage to perform terawikh at all nights? Have you start reading the Quran? When you have your food, were there any leftovers which leads to pembaziran? Ever thinking of donating some penny in your wallet to those in need? Have you try to reduce or avoid talking nonsense and mengumpat at work? Hmm if none of the above fit in your list, then we better be hurry or else we'll find how fast this yr ramadhan flies by and leave us..and He doest guarantee that we'll be experiencing the same ramadhan al-mubarak next year and the many years after......gud luck frens...and also to myself :)

kroni's gathering

We had problems to decide the best venue suitable for all (isteri, suami, budak2 keciks, single mingle) for this year upcoming kroni's bukak puasa gathering. Among places in our list are Oasis Bangsar, Mejaaku at Maju Junction, Mc D, and last but not least rumah Halim :p I personally would really really love to try Oasis but since by, rahimi and zahan oppose to have it at Oasis, hmm looks like have to keep my mouth shut! Reason is simple yet sensible, they serve beer. So Oasis was out, tinggal 3 jer. I called Bora Ombak to survey on the price and menu, unfortunately they only provide malay/kampung cuisine. Most of us are heavy eaters and cost consciuos, definitely we're expecting something more than the-usual-cook malay dishes with the high money to be spent. Plus a place that can offer exra comfort specially for those about to bring their babies/kids. Halim proposed to just have it at his house while his parents and sister are away, with BBQ as the main dish. And i think that was great. Para suami will be sitting outside, doing the membakar things and all that, para isteri stay inside taking care of the little ones...hehehe and we dont have to rush for our maghrib prayer since many rooms are avail to cater all of us. In fact the guys can have their maghrib berjemaah some more! So what are we waiting and arguing at guys? let's just decide who brings what and what :P

p/s: aku cop spaghetti eh!

- to my dearest ex-coursemate & ex-housemate zarid, Heppy wonderful 25th Besday! May life be filled with happiness and blessing from Him till end of time...insya allah.
