Time to.....

FREAK OUT!!! 

December already ?

Man!!

Im doomed!! December approaching fast...and before i know it, January is somewhere around the corner. Marks another milestones to our little-but-loud family ;)

But am not talking about whats in store for us in January just yet. For now, im enjoying the craziness of December. With the munchkins out of school, means that they'll be IN MY FACE 24/7.... u got what i mean? not that i dont the love them all, but kinda looking forward for the school to re-open. HAHA!!

Anyway, my little boy are not little anymore. Had his one-in-the-lifetime-life-changing experience, and he has become a man. Im very proud of him. ^_^  and he has been good, ever since.

Vacation with friends and families has been arranged, and i cant wait to spend the times with these lovelies people that always be with me, thru thick and thin. Time to let loose. Time to let my hair down - its a metaphor ok, not that im taking off my hijab or something, duuh!!

All im asking, not much, but just that we'll be experiencing a smooth sailing trip - down below and up north. Am keeping my fingers crossed!!

Till then.
Happy holiday,peeps!!

Belated Eidul Adha wishes...

Its been a good Eidul Adha for us, minus the ugly traffic. Eughh!! Worst traffic ever. Even worst than going back on Eidul Fitri, seriously. We made it just in time before the prayer. Pheww!!

Anyway, have a good day everyone...

Down with fever...

Milld temperature,  a horrendous cough one could witness and a bad runny nose to complete my Raya look. Eughh...what a turn off. :( 

Hoping Im all well this coming Friday...

My bimbo moment...

I may laugh now, but if u are there with me yesterday... u'll see no different between me and a big giant lobster. Im all red, literally. I  have never felt THAT stupid, if u know what I mean. Deeply humiliated. -,-

Well,long story cut short - Im supposed to have my monthly check up with my dermatologist at Prince Court yesterday morning. So, just like any other morning, I will send Yaya to her school before Im off to my favorite drive thru - Starbucks that is, to get my daily dose of caffeine then reluctantly drove to Prince Court for another stressful session. Hmm... Or so I thought.

Right after I drop-off Yaya with her teacher, it strucked me that I have to fill the gas and reload my Touch n Go for my SmartTag. So, off i went to the nearest petrol station. I only realized when Im on the road that I have forgotten the most essential thing for my morning routine, my coffee!! I absent minded-ly forgot to go back to the drive thru. What a shame!!

So, there I was... driving thru the morning traffic sans coffee, in the centre of KL, with my chatty toddler strapped inside her car seat. Im a disaster!!! Caffeine deprived to say the least. But somehow, along the way, I remember there's one coffee shop at the ground floor of the hospital. I lit up again. Weehooo!!

Thus, once we reached there, without thinking I stormed into the coffee shop and went straight to the counter. With a smile - happy that finally I can have my morning coffee - blurted out "One salted caramel mocha, hot and make it grande please.." Fuuhh.... I feels like doing a star jump on the spot to show how happy I am at that time. But I didnt coz the barista didnt budge.

Clearly she didnt understand me, so I repeat my order, only this time she answered me back "Sorry ma'am, we dont have it. Thats in Starbucks.." Then only it strikes me, Im in the Coffee Bean for god sake!! And to top it off, there's this cute guy standing next to me already cracked into giggles. Im doomed!! So,with all my might, pushed the buggy and will never make a return.

The end.

Invisible...

I am in need of a quick getaway, an escapade... to recharge, after all the chaos happens lately. But since my darling Adlan still  having his exam, hence the wait.

Oh exam, please end soon. I am soo wanna get soaked in the chlorine water and surrender my body to the heat. Spending all day long with my darling Ben will be the ultimatum, since he's been busy lately. Seeing the smiles all plastered on my munchkins's face and their endless laugh, nothing beats that!! 

Dear short weekend getaway, 

Please come quick and let us have it all our way. 

xoxo,

Me.

Fever hoax...

Nana once again scares the hell out of us!! Last saturday, her temperature went up for no reason,out of the blue. A vivid vision of DEMC flashed right in front of me. I cant think of anything else. Hardly feels anything either.

With no hesitance,gave her PCM syrup pronto, plus kool fever paste on her forehead. I dont think I can get thru the  drama again, no sir!! Ben was more panic than I was.

To my surprise, Nana ate her medicine with no hassle. Unlike before, Ive to shoved the syringe into her mouth and forced her to swallow. Not anymore. Pheww!! Guess, few nights in hospital did taught her something,huh... I am a proud mom. ;)

Seems like the Lady Luck sticking with us a little longer, for her temperature didnt stay for too long. Thus, by that evening, we're already at our friend's son's birthday party. And guess what, she's the happiest girl in the bunch. Haha!!

From one mommy to another, sick child is the hardest thing one could bare. Throw me anything except this one. I know its beyond my to control, nevertheless, one can always pray. My pray will always be with my munchkins, for them to grow big, healthy and all.

Little chef...

Last week,made this for my cousin's son's belated birthday party. She chose a Toblerone Cheese cake.

And yes,for those who didnt know, I bake too. Am not a full fledge pastry chef tho, but I currently ran this Bake 'IT' Up by myself. Well, its not a famous,hot shot bakery in town but enough for me to fill my free time - as if Ive got plenty of free time ;)

Being a home-based baker, and take into consideration of my hectic schedule and hyper-to-the-max-munchkins, there's only limited items made. There's only i) Toblerone Cheese Cake, ii) Red Velvet and
iii) Choc Chips/Cherries Muffins. Haha!! I know right!! Quality over quantity, I supposed.

Well, mama always called me a 'seasonal baker'. Which means, I bake as and when I feel like it. FYI, I once turn down an order because I dont feel like baking at that time. Just cause. It is my passion, thus I hate having that reluctant feeling when Im doing any request from the customer. Furthermore, I dont work well under pressure. I like the laid back feeling as opposed to the frantic scene, hence, taking my own sweet time as if Im doing it for ourselves.

Think u know better?

Annoying friend is like having an annoying neighbour. You cant just get rid of them, as matter of facts, they sticks like glue. Super annoying!! And the worst part is they just cant see it that they're such a pain in the a**.  o_O

Well, I have a friend like that to begin with. A friend that think that she knows everything about everyone and  everything. Somehow,like a dictionary i presume. Thought she knew every bits of u even tho we spend just a few years together. And even after a long separation, and she thanked FB for bringing us back, deep down i know I am regretting my decision in clicking the ACCEPT button. Pffft!!

I remember my Babah once retorted that I am that impossible to understand. Thus, having this genius entity  claiming that she can read me inside out is like bogus!! A total turn off. Wish I could just hand her my STFU card and shoo her away,but am not like that.

For now, I just distance myself. Headache free. Heartache free too.

Munchkins.

My munchkins - all grown up. I bet there'll be more to come. As of now, I am blessed for having the chance to watch them grow,right before my very eyes. Its tiring, no doubt. But,its a good one if u know what I mean.

Later skater.

Here we go again!!

Haloooo!!

Its me again,getting back on my blogging after being harassed by none other my darling Ben ;p Love u,darling... I just dont see any reason as to why I have to get back to my writing - as we all know by now there's been so many other social-network- methods that proved to be working efficiently besides blogging.

Am not saying its outdated,but just imagined...with Twitter,FB or IG,one can get feedback pronto - like there and then. Need not long sentences. Imagine,with just a snap away,a piece of my boring life was updated for my less-than-thirty-followers viewing. Easy peasy!!

Anyhoo,i do get it when Ben said I better off blogging - for its kinda therapeutic for me. When I put it into words,its like I'm letting it out of my chest. Let out some steam,as I like to call it. :) Hence,less stressed wife/mommy in da houz,y'all!! ;p

And I must confessed, I like this feeling. Ben was right all along. Hate it when he's right. Pfft!!

Guess,this has been a great start. Finger crossed for a more active writings. ^_^

Later skater.

me time...

even word cant justify how i felt now...who would have thought that a quickie is all we need ...sweet escapade,just to rekindle the love....and for once,im back being me,my own self...defining myself in my own way...

but dont get me wrong,i do loves my munchkins...always was and forever will be...but having the time to enjoy to the band that i adored the most and belting out with my out-of-pitch voice was waaay beyond what ive signed up for....

gazillion thanx to my darling ben for having the guts to stick with me till the end of the concert,and wide awake!! woohooo!! i bet u the next time u heard any of MLTR's songs,my cute lil' faces will definitely flashed rite in front of u...im ur singing nightmare,babeh!!

nevertheless,its been a great nite...with a great company...im all smiling...

toodles...

wordless wednesday...

wordless wednesday....

leaving on a jet plane...

im done with the packing,yay!! fuhh!! packing for 5 people has never been easy,peeps!! tell me bout it.. ;p balik kampung, raya, short getaway, family vacay...its all on me...and with me being the just-in-case kinda girl,makes it more interesting ...and one sweaty experience,mind you...

nevertheless,enjoying it in someways...speaking of which,we're off to bali this thursday,yay!! cant wait!! hope i have packed everything that we need - well,at least what i thought we might need,but ben warned me not to bring so many stuffs,haha!! shopping in mind,darling?? me likey... *wink*wink*

munchkins has been counting days,they're super excited,hehe...cant blame them tho,its our first time flying all 5 of us...it may sound scaree,but im counting on my lady luck to stay close,at all times!! haha...i've lost count on how many times i told the munchkins as to how to behave inside the plane,iskk...hope they remember to behave,fingers crossed!! my munchkins,they're curious as a cat...hence,the paranoid...but im being optimist and hopefully there'll be others passengers with small kids as well...as a diversion,haha!! ;p

wish us luck,ok people?? anyway,here's a teaser as to where we're going to stay while we're at bali...

wacky wednesday...

i hate this blogger new looks...!!

it gets harder even to just upload a photo...or is it just me being ridiculously stupid??

dont bother to answer,for im not interested to know... ;p

and as for now,i'll just blog blindly and picture-less....how bored!!

later skater...

its the day...

my dear Ben...

may all the lucks be with you today. my prayers will always be with you. God permits,it will all went well,so no worries...be calm,be yourself,dont fake it for they already knew how good you are...if you ever feels scared,envision me an munchkins's faces and you'll be fine...

Go,Dada..!!

BIG wet kiss...

friday im in love,anyone?

temptations...

im addicted to drug stores!! be it guardian, wartson or caring, im drawn to spend hours in there...looking for things that i need when in the end went home with things that i dont practically need,haha!! ;p

there's always something that caught my eyes,always... its irresistible ;) i feels like a kid in a candy store,all looks tempting to me.... no wonder ben always tried to keep me away if he sees one,haha!! avoidance is better,hehe...

anyway,long story cut short, i went to guardian today to get my apricot scrub... "just the scrub" as i chanted to myself....but,end up buying this whole loots,oh my....

but in my defense, its all for the upcoming trip,hehe... do u think ben will buy it? hehe...i doubt so... he knows me to well .. ;p

till then...

the surprise is on us...

last night,me and ben decided to let the munchkins knows about the details of our trip,i.e. our flight details... a sweet surprise,sort of... but,the mother earth has something else in store for the parent instead...

little that we know,ben and I has mistakenly - or is it that we're so excited to landed ourselves with the greatest deal of all (well,at least thats what we thought at first.. ;p ) thus we've somehow overlooked at the flight schedule and booked ourselves the earliest flight... how dumb can we be???

thought about changing the time,but it will cost us about rm1+++....ben and I decided that its not worth it,hence,sticking with that 6am flight...hmmm...am not blaming no one... our rezeki to stay at bali till that amount of time je,what to do... but the irony is that we'll fly to bali with the earliest flight...

regardless,alhamdulillah for the trip anyhow...will definitely make the best out of it...God permits,another reason for a repeat trip...maybe,who knows...im being optimist,can u tell??

anyhoo, im still looking forward for this trip,with slightest regrets of course...but heck,things happen for a reason...

till then...

get it??

;p

morning bird....

he woke me up at 5.30am this morning,all clad in full uniform...5.30am mind you!! ;p when i asked him,why so early...then he said " Abang wake up and shower straight away,then tengok tengok laaa...5.28 baru..." abang oh abang... ^_^

i never had a problem waking up adlan in the morning,for he woke up to his alarm clock...yes people,my 8 year old son...i can only count with fingers as how many times he over slept,but may i remind u, surely not more than 3 times in this year...this year alone,iskkk...

he is weird,alright...i know...personality wise,contradict from the other 2 girls im telling you... he is soft,whilst the girls are never near the line...

im dreading for next year,for the thought of adia and her early morning routine...well,just let say not so amusing....she's always late,even when her class starts at 9am...even when we dragged her out off her bed by 7.30am,she can still be late... never in a rush,unlike adlan who is always in constants running of being the first to reach the school...the darker the better,as he likes it...

what la kann?? but no children is alike,rite?

till then...

wordless wednesday...

my baby scared with any kind of ride,even this cute carousel.... ;p

what a gesture...

the perks of having my darling ben working right at the heart of a gigantic mall is when one may get a surprise,out of the blue...excluded birthday,anniversary and what not... think of it as an impromptu gesture that melt my heart... thank you,darling....ich liebe dich... ^_^

nothing fancy tho...it may be just a simple top,or a nice cardigan...or my fav moisturiser,maybe...for me,the thought that count....i dont mind if its from uniqlo, i heart uniqlo...its my kind of boutique, which provide a simple design with a good material, and not to mention the price wont scares the hell out of u... ;)

okay,here's my confession....i loathe it when people surprised me with gift, i know, guilty as charge... spank me!! but i really do,i cant help it... its the thought that they might get something for me that i hate,or dislike... but well, that just me... and thats why i always gives a hint at ben as to what i want prior to any eventful event...yes,thats how pathetic i am as a person... but i managed to overcome my fear,now,that ben has so far succeded...

i guess, over the years, we have grown to understand characters in each of us to know whats the likes and dislikes, dos and donts....

again,thank you, darling ben... i am more than welcome to receive more,hehe... ;p

till then....

no longer a secret...

yet again,another broken promises...another abandoned blog,pfffttt...how laaa...so many things to do,so little time... im chasing time to finish my sewing before our trip in early May...which mind you, is approaching very fast, in a blink of an eyes...man!

too many distraction - typical me,blaming others is what i do best!! shoot me now! ;p or is it me who is losing the competent-ness?? dont know,dont care...all i want is to get it done with, then, pack up for the trip....

dont let me starts on the to-do-list ,looks like i havent dont anything just yet, aiyakk!! less than 3 weeks to go,and i seems to go nowhere near done,iskk....the listing keeps getting longer,whilst me working my ass off doing nothing...bad! i know...

btw,we broke the news to the munchkins last weekend,officially...or,its more like us spill the beans unintentionally...hehe...Adlan has been eavesdropping our lil' conversation ;p when we've been busy looking for stuffs at klcc,when somehow the word bali came out...and this lil' boy caught us off guard and blurted it out " I know,we're going to bali kan mommy? kan daddy?"

haiyaaa...there goes our element of surprise,konon kan... haha!! kids nowadays...smart boy,abang.. ;) and having said that,yes,my family and i are going to bali next month...its going to be our first flight with the 5 of us,so im crossing my fingers that it all went well...u never know whats going to happens when u fly with 3 young kids ,and the thought alone already give me chill..iskkk...

but,as to where will we be staying? well,lets just say that u have to keep on coming back to know..haha!! poyo kan?? i knowwww.... dont think there'll be interested mobs out there eager to know...pfftt!! silly me....

later skater...

and the celebration continues...

we had a blast at PD,last week...eventho it just for one nite,it was fun,still...yesterday was his actual birthday,tho...but either way,i bet the birthday boy enjoyed it very much...even with a little drama when he got an asthma attack on the second day,my poor baby...but,that didnt dampen his spirit,indeed...

then,on last sunday,we had a little celebration,just the 5 of us... ^_^ i like being with other family members,dont get me wrong,it just that when there's only us,i feel more content, complete..so,off we go to the curve for our 'us' time...

we stuffed ourselves with yummy foods,treat the munchkins with some ice cream - adlan also had some,mind you,iskkk...well,who can say no to a good scoops of ice cream?? but we just let him have the small one instead..oh my,i am so blessed,Alhamdulillah for He has granted me with this beautiful people around me, and all the things that come with it...

but,what makes my heart leaps was when im also got something,and its not even near my birthday yet,hehe....much thanx to my darling ben, ich liebe dich... :) i thought u're not listening when i complained bout my phone few months back...obviously,i got it wrong ;p ...uve got it all sorts out...merci,darling...

later skater...

the day he turn 8th...

happy 8th birthday,abang...

and off we go...

we're off to PD for an early birthday celebration for our darling son,Adlan...a far cry from current trend of having an avant garde's celebration...there'll only be our lil' family,plus my in-laws and three of Adlan's best friends,whom by now has become prominent figures in every family's event...

nothing fancy tho, just us, foods, sand, sea and sun...and not forgetting chlorine's water,floats,water shooters and lotsa giggles and laughs...fun all the way...

i just hope that the birthday boy will embrace this day forever,and beaming whenever he thinks of this day, and somewhere in his heart would knows that come rain or shine,these familiar faces will always by his sides,no matter what,insyaAllah...

till then...

an eye opener...

braced the heavy traffic at golden triangle today,and make my way to prince court medical centre... and before anything,NO..am not pregnant,thank you....just my normal follow up with my dermatologist.. ;p

dont get me wrong,i loves KL...strolling at the city centre will always make me smiles,obviously,for i have spent quite generous time, gained live experiences, be it good and bad...

anyway,driving there myself was totally a different experience...i loathe it! never knew that it will be that tough,more like im into some kind of a race,or something...people will just over took you without giving light indicator - which is utterly dangerous! or just zooming past you...iskk...

this will definitely giving me a new appreciation for all the ladies driver out there,whom need to face the traffic in city centre on daily basis...and dont go near the rainy-days-subject,is like putting salt on your open wounds,hehe...

anyway,i am more happy being the navigator rather than the driver,if u might ask...but,cant defy gravity tho...there will always times when i have to press the pedal myself,and accelerate thru the terrible traffic...

till then...

when two ballerinas collide...

adia, aged 4 when she starts ballet...

adriana,turning 2 this coming May...

our very own swan queen...

she said she's becoming the Black Swan because she chipped her toe nail during her exam,today..haishhh...too obsessed with the Swan Lake... i really hope she'll pass her exam,and move on to the next grade...

im so proud of u,my lil' ballerina...more than u know...mommy love u...

till then...

going places...

ben and i,we loves going places....its a shame that there's no air asia till later...else,God knows where else we could have ended up going... ;) but hey,with or without the budget airlines,we made our way thru and paved quite a momentous event for both of us...love is in the air,and still is and will always be,InsyaAllah...

anyhoo,its much sweeter now that we have three significance others to make our journeys more memorable ^_^ and we,as much as possible will make a point to take the munchkins to the places that ben and i has been,and loves it...and to this date,i must say we're doing good,truly blessed... =) reminiscent the past and enjoying the present,all at the same time...nice huh?

i love to see the looks in my munchkins faces when we told them that dada and mommy has been to the place before,and then get bombarded with questions...mostly a funny one,mind you... there'll be like "mommy and daddy je? abang? yaya? nana?" haha!! sorry kiddos,you are all somewhere inside daddy's,HAHA!!

places that we have been,the five of us - just to name a few,basically the one that we enjoyed the most, i.e:

• Cameron Highland - the munchkins loves it,and it does bring back good memories ;) will surely be repeated again,soon...

• Bukit Tinggi - its more crowded now than before,and with more entertainment i must say...

and also places that adriana has missed out,for there's only adlan and adia at that time.. hence,another visit...loving it,hehe...

• Avillion,PD - ben and i loves this place so much,especially the adult pool,simply heaven ;) and thats why we took adlan and adia,hoping that they also like the place and we didnt failed,for they loves the place!! so im guessing,so will adriana...so baby,we'll be there,soon...

• Genting Highland - we enjoyed more when with the kids,i must say...adlan basically has the time of his life,whilst adia still small at that time...now that there's a new member in the family,another possible trip ahead..yes!!

and there's one particular place that we're yet to bring the munchkins...place that marks the starts of our married life...drum rolls,please... our honeymoon suites,haha!! its Shangri-La,Penang,y'all!!...well,we cant afford to fly ourselves abroad on MAS before,hence the dalam negara saje.. ;) but,im blessed either way for as long as i have my darling ben by my side... anyway,with us keep delaying the trip and the ballooned up rate,i dont see ourselves tanning at Shang's stunning beach anytime near...but one can always dream,aightt??

anyway,we've been to so many places,in and out,and all i can say is im so happy and blessed with this little family of mine..me and ben,we may argue or the munchkins driving me up the wall with their antics,but its the memories that i value the most...having said that,cant wait for our upcoming trip in may *evil grins* but we dont tell the munchkins just yet,its our little secret,haha!!

later skater...

it has become a monthly affair,dont u think?

munching away subway's double choc cookies as im typing this,ohh,heaven..there goes my diet!! as if im on one ;p regardless,the cookies was so addictive that i couldnt stop!! i need help!!

if,only if, everything that comes thru my mind can be translated into words without me having to punch the keyboard,this blog of mine will be updated on daily basis...but,the technology yet to reach the said level,thus,typing still intended...hence,abandoned blog,again...tsk tsk...

been super lazy since we got back from our east coast's trip cum holiday...too caught up with; a)dirty laundry - i loathe this part regardless how superb our holiday was...

b)mama's cooking - stuffed myself to the max everyday,up till the last day,hehe..

c)getting adlan + adia finishing their school's homework before the school's open...

anyway,we're off to port dickson next weekend for an early birthday celebration...who u might ask? well,our dearest son that is,who else ;p ...since his birthday fell on weekdays,ben and i decided to throw him an early celebration,hehe,just for the fun of it...but since its a last minute booking,we only managed to secure one night instead of two as intended,boohoo!!nonetheless,the company that matter the most,no??...we'll be having my inlaws, and few of adlan's best friends....yay!! cant wait...

i know i should be busy arranging everything-from foods to games,to other fun activities to keep everybody entertained...but fyi,aint doing anything just yet,dunno why...dont bother to ask,for ive no definite answer for that...bet it'll be tiring, well, not as tiring as planning a home's birthday party i must say...having said that,i have never in my right mind ever consider having one at our very home for i know that it needs all the hard efforts i can offers,and being me who loves perfections,its impossible to not having a meltdown along the way...and lets not talking bout the aftermath,pheww....hence,the getaway...

anyway,went to empire,subang yesterday to fish for adlan's birthday gifts - noticed the plural?? yes,peeps,he secured himself with more than one gift,THREE to be precised,and more to come mind you!! oh my,he is spoiled!! shoot me now!! much thanx to my dear SIL,BILs and FIL for coming and joined us ...it means a lot to us ^_^

the clock shows that its already 2am...already?? that explained my droopy eyes, and failure to focus as what to write...*yawn* ...i really have to hit the sack now...

till then...nite nite pretty people... :)

lapse of memory...

i know that somewhere early this year i have vowed not to let this lil' blog of mine being abandoned,again...but again,i let myself down - well,im not surprise ;p are u,my fellow readers?? (as if i got thousands la kn...seciput dua je kot,iskkk...lame,aight??)

anyway,i have a good reason as to why it happen - yeah,yeah,excuse,excuse... but really,i have juz finish with my clutch bags's orders,pheww...then,i have this sirih junjung to make,not to mention a few dozens of muffins for my annoying cousin (haha!! served u right,dolie,naughty boy!! ;p ) who's going to get engaged this weekend,with her setiu-born girlfriend...haiii,dekat lagi takde ke... ;D

so yeah,we're all going to setiu this saturday,and God permits the chalet that my uncle booked wont be a total disappointment,so that we could extend our stay there,and immersed in Terengganu's air...nonetheless,its school holiday,maybe we could venture other places,laid back style...

by the way,my mama,babah and si comot will be here tomorrow,OMG,im so looking forward to that,i wont lie...i miss them ^_^

may we have a safe journey,pergi dan balik...u know how east coast's route can be,dangerously adventurous i must say...

till then...

for no reason,actually...

i may forgive,but certainly dont do the forget thingy any good...

thus,suck up ur guts and mind ur words and actions, for im good at remembering stuffs...especially the one that brings heartache to my vulnerable lil' heart...

nobody is perfect,hence the word 'improve' ...

till then...

in between all the chaos...

...i somehow tried to find time for me to read,any kind of books will do...as long as i can get my mind off of all the chaos around me,for a while...its like my own kind of 'me' time..

i usually read during the munchkins's nap time,or in the wee hour,when i cant get myself to sleep..i figured that im better off reading rather than wasting my time tossing and turning on the bed,while staring helplessly at the ceiling...hmmm...it happens all the time,actually...will that means that i have a sleeping problem,or something?

and by having said that,im done with this...

and now im starting on this one,and i really hope its worth my time...rumour has it that Tom Hanks's planning to turn this into a movie,wow!! gotta finish it before they starts filming,hehe...

till then...

a good start...

finally,i got my hands dirty again,hehe...a yummy kind of dirty,baking that is...been too hooked up with the sewing lately,thus its kinda make sense (well,at least to me ;p) to put my Bake 'IT' Up into a halt mode...until i was pushed by none other than my very-good-with-her-persuasion-skill-mom,hehe...she talked to me into it till i said yes,involuntarily i supposed...but,love her still,very much.. ^_^ i love u,mommy...muahss...


actually,something happened to me last year,that has killed the passion for baking in me,literally...but i'll keep it to myself,and my close knit to know :(


anyway,after much hesitation - well,cant blame me ;p i managed to pull it through and crossed the finish line with flying colors,haha!! pathethic lil' me,aight?? well,after what ive gone thru,i supposed ive bounced back gracefully - to my standard la kannn...pat on my back for having the guts to do it ;) and thanx to my mom as well, muchas gracias,mommy...


so,without further ado,presenting my first red velvet for this year...

aint it pweeeettty?? ;p so,its official,Bake 'IT' Up is finally back in business..

winning asides,the experience that count... besides,she need to explore more coloring skills, i.e. shading and what not...hmm,an art class perhaps? *wink at daddy* ;p

till then...

who would have thought...

bought this baby on our recent trip to cameron last year,but,at that time this pokok cili of mine was not as big as this,and mind u,with less chilies,of coz...but look at it now,aint it pwettyyy?? cant wait to harvest the pedas-licious and cute-lil-chilies-of-mine... ;p

guess,my hand was not so panas after all...looking forward for more plants on my herb garden ;)

will reveal soon,once ive secured a lemon grass,limau purut and etc...

till then...

picnic 'kampung' style...

every time we went back to my hometown,we somehow, as much as possible try to bring the munchkins to my favourite sungai,for a picnic...thus,this trip is no different...

my babah has reminded us that it hasnt been raining in days,thus,to expect less water and the keruh part but we're determined to go.talk about being persistence huh?? ;p so,after my mom's done with the cooking - hey,i do help too...by watching,and accompany her at the kitchen,of coz... off we go ...

safely home...

yeay! we're home...

we made or way to jitra last saturday for my cousin's wedding,then off to my mom's place to stuff our tummy to the fullest... frankly,this time around,its all about food,food and more food...my food conquest has never be this succesful,haha!!

to my delight,got a chance to chow down the best 'bihun sup' and 'kuew teow pak mud' at jam besaq,sp...perghh!! happy tummy,happy me...hence,the bolat face...ive the whole clan 'compliment' my new look ;p but i dont mind,coz my tummy filled with yummeh foods.. ;)

yup,ive gained a few pounds lately...and u can see straight at my face,coz it looks like all the 'lemak' in me refused to spread to the other part of my body... ;p

later skater...

our so-called date nite... ;p

man,what can i say...it was fun!! what with all the energetic performances,viewed from the best seats in town,i reckon ;p but what count the most was my partner on that nite,none other than my significant half,my darling ben...and not to forget,my dear SIL,ayu and ben's cousin,sheila (ala2 bodyguard giteww.. ;p)

gazillion thanx to my dearest mommy and kak aween for the tixs,appreciate so much... ^_^ btw,im so 'in' with any other future event,hehe...juz count me in,and i'll be there,and ben,plus ayu... ;)

but all of this wont be happening if its not for the people that really make it happen,and in this case,its my banting's troop - mak,abah and my dearest BILs - didi and apiq...oh man,i owe u guys,BIG TIME!! we could never repay u guys enough...especially my two BILs whose sacrifice their nite out juz to help my PIL mind the munchkins....awww,aint it sweet?? ^_^

ben and i rarely leave the munchkins with both of us not around ( which is only happens twice,as i can recalled - and that is when i delivered yaya and nana,thats the extend of it... )...its always either me or ben to look over them,thus,this is kinda first for them...and us too... ;p hence,the hesitance...but,knowing that they'll be in a good hand,and we're sooo in need of a quality 'us' time,i braced the reality in style - went for AJL,haha!!

all in all,we had fun...even when we had to cease the idea of staying for the post-party,reason being - there's a black-out at my PIL's house 30mins prior to the result's announcement,hence the rush...we went back straight right hafiz belted our his winning song,barefooted ;)...i could imagine both my mak+abah 'kipas-ing' our munchkins like satay haha!! yup,for the love of the cucus, they willing to do anything... ^_^

anyway,a nite sans the kids kinda fun...but,that didnt stop us from sms-ing the BIL's thru out the event,haha!! pathetic,huh? well,thats us... ;p

till then...

my triple A's...

xoxo,

mommy...

im back... ;)

oh my,its been almost a month since my last entry...sorry for the long hiatus,been busy yeah,yeah,its cliche but thats the truth... ;p feels like my 247,somehow has been ripped up,and its shorter than others...lame isnt it?? blame it on the time when the 'real' culprit is none other than urs truly's poor management skills....ive too much on my plate rite now,pheww...but hey,dont we all?? hehe...

i dont even post anything on new year,let alone my new year resolution - with capital R,and not to forget 's' in the end as ive plenty ;) im an optimist remember?? well,do go and throw ur vomit somewhere else ;p

my december went well,hectic even...we managed to pull ben's out from his super duper busy schedule - well,its december,what do ya' expect?? its the busiest month,if not all thru the year,hehe,but i lurves u still,darling ^_^

took the munchkins for a quickie getaway, locally, nothing fancy....starts from ipoh,then off to penang....then spend a week at my mom's before heading to cameron...yeap,we went to cameron during school holidays without any hotel reservation,how dumb can we be?? ;p actually,its more like an impromptu,coz adia has been talking endlessly about how one of her darling friend has went for a strawberries picking...i tried my hardest to explain to her that we've been there already,even showed her some of the pics that we've taken...but she didnt buy it,typical her ...erghh... reason being - she slept,thus couldnt remember a thing!! how vain !! hence,the unplanned trip...but they had so much fun,even with a sea of people,cold weather and a very limited time that we had...what a pity,but fret not,will definitely be repeated anytime soon ;)

we even had a few sleepovers,and recently during the CNY...yup,u heard me rite,my munchkins and their friends are crazee bout sleepovers...i know some poeple who might not agree with this things,but for me+ben,we're ok with it...futhermore,they will, eventually, growing up with the same circles of friends,so i dont see any harm done...and im so lucky to have met with a set of parent,that gradually has become my confides that have the same thinking and pace like us...we're totally blessed...

all in all,the new year has been great,so far...what with me and ben having our 'date night' at stadium putra last sunday,watching AJL26 from our VIP seats...what an icing on the cake huh?? more pics will be posted soon,hehe...

gotta go now...but definitely wont be hiding again,haha...

till then...
