merdeka... holiday... ramadan...

i told dear hubby, this year i want to cook for buka puasa. u see.. unlike previous years, i would just buy at bazaar ramadan. balik keje mmg tak sempat nak masak (or is it penat@malas..kannn). so this coming ramadan, permissible i'm sure (belum tanya boss lagi ni...), i'm going to leave the office at 4pm and hopefully be able to cook few dishes. feeling excited about it (berkobar2 dah..), i went to tesco with dear hubby and bought the things that i wish to cook during the ramadan month. (yes.. siap ada cook list ye). all are already nicely kept in the fridge. recipe book pun ada ye.. if rajin, i'll post what i cook.

selamat hari MERDEKA & happy holiday...

selamat berpuasa & jgn lupa sahur ye...

my 2-day holiday...

...was supposed to be on thursday and friday but had to take one day earlier on wednesday coz my boss had to go for business trip. so on the night of tuesday, we went to BIL's house in nilai. next day we left for PD. it was just a one-day picnic trip with my PIL and BIL's family. i had to bring my work @ laptop with me for urgent matters. luckily our picnic area was just beside selesa hotel so i used their free wi-fi. balik from PD, my kaki gatal2. dear hubby kata kena gigit agas2. merah2 and bengkak2 my kaki.. gatal yang teramat..

nice spot for picnic...

the kids found something...

it's baby crab... alive!!!

tired but happy...

next day, we went to klang in morning, searching for my tailor and finally found her after got lost twice. from klang we headed to 1U for lunch. i had most tasteless food at the food court. lepas ni mmg tak nak dah jejak food court tu ever and ever and ever...

today, work as usual but with kids around at the office. and i'm still scratching my legs... gatal seiii... scratch..scratch..scratch...

families...

my grandmother, tok nab, turned 78 few days ago and my uncle held a kenduri for her and also a small and simple bersanding for my cousin, who got married 3 years ago in texas and currently here on a short holiday visiting and introducing her husband to the relatives. it was great having to meet up my relatives from my mum's side.

with my grandmother and my uncle...

with cousin, her hubby & my sis...

this morning, i received a new nephew.

lil nephew...

so my dad has 8 grandchildren now. how delightful to have a big family.
*my older brother has a boy and a girl.
*myself have 2 boys.
*my younger sister has 2 girls.
*my younger brother has a girl and this newborn boy.
*my youngest brother still single.

there was a time when we, my siblings, were talking about who's gonna be having a 3rd one since all of us have had 2 children already. well, i've always wish for a girl and am willing for a 3rd child but after having a longggg 9 years break since my last delivery, i dont know if my body can handle it.

oh well, we'll see...;D

mid term school holidays...

yes.. 9 days of school holidays. today is the last day of school and the kids are all excited. they just finished their pksr 3. they have not gotten their results but i'm hoping they've done fair. as for me, i'll be having extra relaxing weekend - no school uniforms to iron till the next weekend.

there will be a wedding on saturday. lama tak makan nasi minyak but not sure if i will be attending coz it's in kl and later i have to be in sg buloh for my grandmom birthday. so it's like one end to another. i have not seen her for quite sometime so my uncle made me promise to come or else... (well, something he said... ) so i better go.. also i'll be meeting my cuz there, who got married in denver to an american negro. this is gonna be my 1st time meeting them after they got married.

as for the school holidays, i'll be taking 2-day off from work. havent decide what to do or where to go with the kids coz dear hubby is working. but few places already in mind though..

thought i share this unique architecture i snapped few days ago. u know where this is?


happy holidays!!!

another enjoyable weekend...

whenever dear hubby get to be on-leave on the weekend, i'll be the happiest person bcoz he is a 'kaki jalan' person. last friday he was on-leave again and we were supposed to attend this one party in nilai but was postponed so we celebrated our little niece's birthday and my PIL 38th anniversary in subang.

on saturday, the mom of little niece treated whole family to sunway lagoon. lama gak tak pergi sana. we were there from 1130am till 530pm. the kids enjoyed the most sampaikan time makan pun tak ingat. i didnt intend to get wet so i didnt bring any changing clothes from home. but hubby insist me to just sit on a buoy but along the way, with the splashing every where, my jeans got wet la kan. baju boleh lagi kering but the jeans... so after checked out from the lagoon, we went to sunway pyramid. bought a new jeans (hubby paid for it of course!), rushed to the toilet and changed. baru la sedap berjalan.

view from michaelangelo's..

we had dinner at michaelangelo's, an italian restaurant. they offered "kids eat free" so a good catch for 4 of us la. the kids chosed pizzas from the kids free menu. i cant remember the names of what we ordered.. berbelit lidah nak sebut but overall, we really enjoyed the dishes.. simply delicious.

adli's pepperoni pizza...

adam's chicken pizza...

dear hubby's ribeye dish..

this is mine... spaghetty ???

later that night, i hanged out with shadiah at asia cafe subang. sha ordered mushroom rostti while i ordered sotong bakar. the mushroom rostti really tasty la.. sedap sgt. next time to asia cafe, i'll definitely order the rostti.. jom supper lagi sha...

08-08-08

number 8 has always been my favourite figure significantly bcoz that's the date i was born - 08-03 (eight of march). eventhough the month is the 3rd month of the year, simply it looks like the half of 8. although i dont see 8 as a number that could influence my lives, i always take it as my lucky number when comes to some of significant parts of my life. the house, my car number and my mobile # have an 8 on it.

tonight marks the opening ceremony of world olympic games in beijing. as stated in the news, the ceremony will start at 8pm on 8th day of the 8th month of 2008. our hope is to see the malaysians win as many medals to make us proud...

8 is such a significant number.. aint it?..

durian season....

in western countries, it is summer season now. here in malaysia, it is durian season. it is the most awaited and craving moment for durian lovers and dear hubby is one them. so last tuesday, we went to sect 13 right after dinner and bought 2 heaps of durians. my dad, dear hubby, the kids and me all gathered enjoying the durian moment. padahal baru lepas dinner nih...

yesterday, i had lunch with dear hubby at the manhattan fish market at sbg parade. for starters, we ordered the garlic butter mussels. i tell you the creamy sauce is simply the best. for our main course, we ordered the strictly for sharing menu - manhattan seafood platter for two. when the food arrived, the serving was quite big. we all tak habis pun so tapau for the kids la. the starters pun dah cukup for me. dah tu my tekak pun tak boleh nak masuk lagi creamy food. kan malam tu baru makan the creamy durian tu. but when i got home from work, the durian aroma all over the house. tak boleh tahan seiii. masuk rumah je bukak 1 biji and makan lagiii. malamnyer i went for yoga, balik rumah makan lagi. ni ada lagi kat rumah. balik nanti sure pekena durian lagi.

to all malaysians, lets enjoy our durian season...

saturday & sunday...

my weekend was full of activities and the best part was i get to spend the whole 2 days with the kids together with dear hubby, who seldom get a chance to get an off-day on weekends.

Saturday - 2 Aug...
after breakfast, we all went to klang to find my taylor. i havent been there for years so we got lost coz lotsa changes especially the routes. i couldnt find the taylor shop. there was traffic jam from klang towards shah alam route and we were already across the sg klang bridge, so we decided to just head to aeon bukit tinggi. got lost again but managed to find our way though. it's a big mall and has everything to shop for so next time tak payah pergi jauh2. shopping kat sini pun best.

at last, we're at aeon bukit tinggi...

there was astro gempak selebriti event going on that saturday, so we managed to snap riz and nadia playing games with the fans.

my brother from kulim arrived at midnite. i didnt get to meet him till dinner coz he went for a seminar in putrajaya. so we had dinner together at r&r jejantas sg buloh. after dinner, we had cuppa coffee at burger king chit-chat sambil tengok/kira kereta lalu lalang kat hiway tu. (takde keje...)

dinner time....

the medal...

yesterday, adam came home with a medal. the team - sks9 won 3rd place. not bad eh... congratulations to all the players.

a bronze medal

it says... Ragbi Rimau KETIGA

aint they cute!!!

usually when we watch the adult version of the game, they tackle the ball with all that rough pushy or whatever they called it, i see it as a rough and tough kinda game. however, watching the kids' game, it was more on touching with two hands, passing ball, run and score. owh.. it's the rules for school players to avoid the chances of injury.. i was told!! it's called touch rugby. duhh...

it was an enjoyable moment for me having to watch the kids played the other day. they look so adorable, wearing their jersy with shorts - that look like a skirt, and those kids' boots... aint they cute!!!
