My plan

Party pack .... done
RSVP ............. in progress
Food............... ordered
Cake............... ordered
Clown............. confirmed
Deco................ okay

In my PD post, I did mention that I was busy working on some plan.... not really a big planla.... My little chubby girl @Farisa's going to turn 5 on 4th Sep...but memandangkan it's fasting month...so I've to bring forward her birthday party a few days earlier.... It'll be on this coming 31Aug at our home...

Last weekend i was busy scouting for the party pack goodies...
finally found these
stuffs (see pic). pening jugak masa shopping
tu coz i've to agak2 how many boys, girls and toddlers are coming... hopefully i have enough
party pack for everyone... thru experience, should be enoughla...

I've actually been organising bday party for my little girs for 6 years in a row... this year I was thinking to resign from organizing the party but both of them insisted jugak to have one ... As a mother, i tak sampai hati and at the same time kesian... so okayla.... this will be the last one...lepas ni I want to have a break for few years.... it's so tiring okay.... from the planning stage, scouting for party pack goodies, packing the stuff, looking for bday cake, clown, the party day and finally cleaning up (i really hate this part...bibik tolong buatla ye..thank god...) ..but still penat...Luckily the next day is still a holiday (to replace Merdeka Day which falls on Sunday)
so I can rest a bit but dont forget..it's the first day of Ramadhan.... So to all my muslim friends and bloggers, Selamat Berpuasa.... I shall update you guys on the party day....Stay tune!!

Port Dickson Trip

I really missed my blog..I've not been blogging for almost a week..
hhmmm....I've been extremely busy after coming back from the
trip on Friday as I have to start working on some plan (will let u
know later)..

We drove to PD on Wednesday evening right after work and
reached there around 7.30pm... My kids were so excited when they
saw us as though we've not seen each others for a long time...
hehehe... I know both of you missed me ....
We had a steamboat dinner on that nite and it was really good...

I was a bit upset the next day... It was my first day and the weather
didn't look very good... It was gloomy in the morning and drizzles
almost half a day... And the childrens were ready in their swim suits,
just waiting to run to the beach...but unfortunately they have to
stay indoor until the drizzles stop...

It was about 2pm when we decided to head to the beach...
By then, we can see the sun started to shine with the clear blue
sky..... The weather was lovely!! We played at the beach, swims,
built a sand castle, went for banana boat ride (managed to negotiate
a good price with the abang boat..tq bang!!)...

All of us really had a funtime together.... Before going back to

the condo, the childrens wanted to go for one round of swim

at the pool....

The very next day, hubby and me had to leave the place early
morning to head to the office...It took us approx. 1hr 20mins to
reach PJ.. My PIL and the kids check out later on the same day...

Eventhough it was a short trip, I really enjoyed the break with
all of them.... I wish I could stay longer to enjoy the place and food,
the breeze and esp the sunset.....I'll definitely come back again

next time!!

The school holiday is now over... Today all of the childrens are
back to school...

I'm back to my normal routine too....

Here are some of the pics snapped during the trip :





Farhana and Helena with their sand castle..

Farhana - "I'm freezing cold!!!"


it's still drizzling out there.. makanla..

horrayyy!!! dinner time...

steamboat dinner...lecker!!!

New swimming suit

My two girls are off to Port Dickson tomorrow with my PIL and SIL...

*sob*sob*sob*....i'm so sad but they are so excited to go....camna tu..

I'll only be joining them later on Wednesday.. the reason why i'm not

going with them is coz my annual leave left only 2 more

days for 2008..i repeat again.. 2 more days ONLY.. so sadkan...

so i'm taking one day off on Thursday and keeping the

2 days for my Raya leave...

Yesterday we went to PG and bought a new swimsuits for them.

See... how happy they are!!

They'll definitely going to have fun and will be spending times

swimming and playing with their cousins who are about the same

age with them..

So have fun my dearie... Mama will see you on Wednesday evening!!!

Make sure you behave and dont be naughty okay...

Love you,

Mama

A trip to MAHA 2008

The school break starts today. Since we didn't have any plan and
the girls have no 'mengaji' class, so hubby and me decided to check
out the MAHA 2008 (Malaysia Agriculture and Agrotourism Exhibition)
which started last Wednesday in Serdang

We were there around 10am and a lot of peoples have already arrived
at the expo. I'm quite impressed as they provide a tram which you
can hop in and off ... It's a very huge area so everyone needs to take
the tram to go from one point to another...they have like the main
exhibition hall, the paddy field area , vegetables farm, Livestock, etc...
very interesting indeed...

There are a lot of things to see, a lot of foods to taste, learn something
new and a good place for the small and medium scale industries to
promote their local products....

Talking about food, while walking in the main exhibition hall, I found
a stall called Kopiesatu... their concept is similar to the Starbucks
and Coffee Bean but instead of using the imported coffee, they use
local coffee...really 'kaw kaw' punya coffee..hubby bought the Iced
Blended Mocha and me the Iced Blended Cappucino .... to all the
coffee lovers, I tell you...it's heaven!!!!! memang sedap bangat...
If there is Coffee Bean and Kopiesatu next to each other, I'll
definitely opt for KOPIESATU!!!

the tram... only Rm1 per adult and available every 3 mins

farisa and one of the lazy goat..

farhana and the big fat Fresian cow

the Rodeo show

I was interviewed by the TV3 reporter at one of the fruit stall...terglamour kejap you...

some of the local products i bought...

the local fruits...Pulasan, Nona, Red Dragon Fruit

Nona ... i've never seen this fruit but it's very sweet and taste really good

So to those of you in KL or even in Malaysia, please grab the opportunity to visit the MAHA 2008 which will end on 23Aug. You'll definitely enjoy the trip and going to have fun.... Support our local products!!! ( hehehe....see..i'm putting a free advertisement lagi... )

Happy Holiday to all the kids in Malaysia!!! (including my two anak..)

Love

How To Spot a Blogger

This is an article which I found in the newspaper recently.
Happy reading...

HOW TO SPOT A BLOGGER :

a) Cameras
Bloggers are ever ready with cameras whether it's over dinner,
a day trip to Seremban, at work, on holiday or even a simple
trip to the loo. Most bloggers own a camera and we tend to snap
at everything we come across, be it that cute kitten by the
roadside or a misleading roadsign or two. Anything that inspires
is worth a shot.
Laracroft74 - i don carry my camera all the time..only at certain
occasion when I feel the need to have some pictures posted in my blog


b) Internet addiction
For most of us, internet is like a fifth limb. Take away my
internet connection and you might as well take away my life.
Laracroft74 - i dont think I can survive without internet...
MATIKUTU i.... i need to check FB, emails, my newborn
blog, upload songs..etc..i'm very sure that you guys are the
same too...)


c) Different priorities
We talk about comments and traffic as if that's all we care about.
It's a habit and I'm sure most bloggers would say the first thing
they do afer logging on would be to check for the comments and
finding out the traffic. It's almost essential as coffee and it
becomes a routine like reading the morning newspaper. In fact,
many of us would feel uncomfortable if we did not do this
during our morning ritual.
Laracroft74 - this is soooo like me..hehehe... whenever i reach
office very early, the first thing i'd do is to read all my fav blogs...
to me, reading a blog is like ready the morning newspaper...


d) Inquisitive
We want to be know it-alls. We are always full of questions and
we want our answer in full detail. With this in mind, dont' fret
if a bunch of people descend on a restaurant, questioning
everything in sight and pestering the waiters.
Laracroft74 - again i guess, it depends on what you are blogging..
If it's about life, daily routine, baking, cooking, crafting, then
i dont think you are in this category..

Soooo...what say you...

*********************************************************************************

This is one of my favourite video. It has nothing
to do with the above topic. Just would like
to share with you and hope it'll cheer up your day...

ENJOY......

Buon Giorno...

An evening at The Park

Thank god...alhamdulillah... I'm so relief... you guys must be
wondering why... Actually, Farhana finished her 3rd quarter
school test today. I don't know why I become so 'kiasu' everytime
she's having her exam..REALLY!!! she's only in the Std 1 but
I'll be the most panic person on earth a few days before the
exam.. I'll keep on giving her pages and pages of exercise,
sit down with her and do some revision and scolded her if she
failed to answer correctly...**SIGH** now I feel very bad..:-(


Actually she has been doing well but as a mother, I always want
her to do the "BESTEST"....hhmm..as though i ni bagus sangat
during my school time...hehee..it's okay, she doesnt' know what
I did last summer..;-))


SO...since she has finished her test, I brought her to the park nearby
our house. She had good time with her little chubby sister, enjoying
the slide and swing. Left them with bibik and I went for a 30 mins
jog ( was actually planning to go to Gym but since hubby cancelled his badminton,
I then decided to jog near the park ).


yippeeee....slide down....

Farhana and her scooter

the swing reminds me of "Bawang Putih" and " Bawang Merah"

buai laju lajuuuuu

hhmm...i wonder what are they up to....

Yeaaa...two more days to go until the next school break!!!

They are going somewhere next week...Will share with you guys

soon...

Till then... Tschuess und Auf wiedersehen !!!

My kids and their Strawberry Shortcake

Last Saturday, my two little girls were so excited. They've

finally slept in their own room after I put on the Strawberry Shortcake

bedsheet (hehehe..all this while they slept with us...)

But they haven't officially moved in until hubby fix the AC unit.

Temporarily they have to bear with the ceiling fan. I need to

put some children's deco as well. I have 2 sets of those glow in the

dark and will put it for them over the weekend. Also, need to

have the curtain changed too....

The strawberry Shortcake - one of their fav cartoon character

sooo happy to sleep on their own bed...

Midnite Emergency Marketing @ Tesco

I just came back from my midnite marketing in Tesco about

two hours ago. This is an unplanned marketing coz suddenly I feel

like making Soto Ayam for lunch tomorrow. The ingredients

pun tak ada..so I have to rush to Tesco....nak makan punya

pasal, sanggup drive out....

some of the 'barang barang' to make soto ayam

Suprisingly, there were quite a number of peoples doing their

late nite groceries. I guess they wanted to avoid the daytime

crowd...hhmmm.....I think I need to switch to midnite marketing

jugakla.. So I can walk freely without banging on other peoples trolley...

hehehee...sometimes I purposely langgar esp if they are so

busy looking at the barang2 on the rack and just leave their trolley

in the middle of the aisle....issyy...orang nak lalu pun susah...

Also, I hate the long queue at the payment counter...most of them

have mountains of stuff in their trolley...so just imagine how long

one have to wait....huhhh...luckily nowadays I only buy things

as and when needed (since the price hike la...)..Previously, I used

to stock up groceries once a month....but now I'm trying

to spend wisely.....I realized that I've saved quite a bit...otherwise

I end up buying stuff which I dont use and suddenly realize it

has already expired....really membazir betul....

While I was trying to look for the Instant Ketupat Nasi (rice cube),

I found this instant Ketupat Palas(made of glutinous rice)...

Nampak sedap...All this while esp during raya, I'll buy the

'daun palas' from market and make the Ketupat Palas myself

(which I learned from MIL and hubby's late grandma)..Am going to

experiment this instant one and if the taste is good.. I shall then

buy this for Raya...but the only thing is.. no originality... tak kisahla...

janji sedap beb !! Not easy okay to make the real ketupat palas..

a lot of works and a bit messy.....

Ketupat Palas ( Glutinous Rive Cube )

Okay..Good nite everyone.... Enjoy your weekend!!!

MPH Sale

I was down with fever on Monday and was given a
a 2 days MC. Today I'm back to work with
full blast of energy and ready to gear up.....hhmmm..
I'm so impressed that i managed to clear the two days
piles of work......terror jugak makk...hehehe..perasan

Last Thursday, I was at the MPH store in SACC.
MPH had a three days sale last week starting on Wed-Fri.
All members enjoyed 20% off the normal price.

I took the opportunity to grab a few books since
they were on sale....

Recently, I've been addicted to the SHOPAHOLIC series
(introduced by my SIL) and managed to get a few of them.
To those who loves shopping, I highly recommend this books.
It's about this lady.. Bex, a financial expert who tell people
on how to manage their money but in her leisure time, she
loves to spend her money shopping...shopping and shopping...
She just cant stop spending her money!!! I wish I could be like
her....just spend, spend and spend...and think that money will
fall from the sky.... bahagianya hidup...

Near the store entrance, they displayed this book - Reaching
For the Stars which was written by the late brother of our
Mr Angkasawan. I haven't had a chance to read it yet but just
flipped through the content and found it very inspirational
and motivational....


In total I only spent RM70 for these four books... worth paying...:-)

Squeezer

Squeezer Tag


Simply, It's about where you squeeze the toothpaste.

Rules - Just answer the questions below and post in on your blogs.
And of course, you have to tag at least one person, the more the merrier..

Question 1 :Which Squeezer are you? please select one of the following
and let's see how the statistic is :-

A - Top-squeezer (squeeze from the top part)
B - Middle-squeezer (squeeze from the middle)
C - Bottom-Squeezer (squeeze from the bottom)
D - Random squeezer (squeeze anywhere you can get your fingers on)

Question 2 :Explain your answer in Question 1 or
whatever you want to say about it...

Laracroft74 answer :

i'm quite a particular person.... my answer will be C.
Anything in a tube, i will squeeze from the bottom.
The reason why is at least i know how much more left
in the tube. If you are used to squeeze from the bottom,
it will then become a habit and you do not have to think
which part to squeeze when you just wake up in the morning
which i know most of you are still in the half awake mode.

Question 3 : who you want to tag

The Flu Virus

I dont feel very well today...I've been attacked by the
flu bug and it makes me feel a bit feverish... I felt so
penat and lembik....so my kitchen is temporarily
closed and will resume to its normal operation
till everything is back to normal...:-(

So the whole day, I just relax and make myself
pengsan....
That's why at this time I'm still awake, busy updating
my blog when everyone is already snoring on
the bed...

Chelsea!!! Chelsea!!!

I had been busy for the past few days..hmmm tak

taula apa yg bz sangat tuu....

Anyway..I'd like to share a bit on the chelsea vs msia

football match...Me and hubby had the opportunity

to watch the friendly match last Tuesday at

Stadium Melawati, Shah Alam...As you guys have

already knew, Chelsea wrapped up their Asian Tour

beating the Malaysian team 2-0.

I was so excited and really enjoyed the game even

I'm not really a football fan...Frankly speaking, that

was the first time I watched a live football...It's all

because of the Chelsea team with most of the best

players : Lampard, John Terry, J Cole, Shevchenko.

Nak suruh tgk Selangor vs Neg Sembilan...hmmm..

i dont think sooo....tak minat....

These are the pics taken :

I was a bit stressed up when going back time. It took us almost one hour to reach home when it usually takes us only 5 minutes on the normal days.

The traffic was REALLY REALLY chaotic!!!! If jalan kaki sure dah sampai...
