Iftar at AEON Bukit Tinggi

At last I have found the place where I could get hold of a heavenly delicious tom yam. To my taste bud at least. At Black Canyon Coffee right outside my doorstep. Hah! Way out of line... Not exactly doorstep. But it is a walking distance from my house since I have given it a go with Imran and Hani. Hihihi....
Anyway, I found a very nice dress for Hani in Brands Outlet. Raya hunting is over, for now. Unless I can get hold of a cheap sandals for Hani, the current shoes will do. Does not really go well with dresses and Baju Kurung, but it'll do. As for me, I just need to remind myself to send my garment for dry cleaning. And pick-up Hubby's Baju Melayu and songkok at MIL's place. We've bought the ironing board. Again, finally!! Hahaha... I've been ironing my tudung and clothes on the floor!! Ever since we sold off the business, I don't have the luxury of someone to iron my clothes. I don't ate ironing. But I do hate ironing without the proper equipment. Especially when it cause pain in the you-know-what. Hahaha..
Next I'm going to start on my culinary skills for raya meal. I've never cooked rendang before. Well, that's a lie. I used to help my mom cook rendang but that was like 5 years ago. Ever since I got married, I have been at lost with cooking. I'm trying to get back on track. So far I have had the good and the bad. The good part is I can do a campak-apa-yang-ada-dalam-fridge meal. But when it comes to recipees from books and website, it depends on the ingredients. At some point, I had to throw away the whole thing because it was inedible and I wanted to give up cooking gourmet meals. Hubby was not so encouraging. Those who knows him would understand his sarcasm. Hehehe...
Well, I have to plan for this week iftar. Hubby's still on afternoon shift. I've got chicken wings, cencaru, minced beef, sardin and medium-size shrimps. Guess I'm good then. Hihihi...

Raya Shopping III

Once Hubby got off his work-from-home at 3 pm, I got myself and the kids ready for another shopping trip before heading to SA for iftar with his family. Right after Asar we were on our way to Mydin Summit. It was where MIL said there's loads of selections for kids. To my dissapointment, the choices was not so encouraging. I'm not the kind of mother who like to dress up kids with glittering garments. Neither is my MIL. And why would anyone wants to put on garments with lining and seriously uncomfortable for kids who would end tearing every pieces of the outfit. If you're not going to put up with it, why should your kids.
Anyway, I have to accept the fact I won't be buying my kids the traditional clothes because MIL already bought them. Besides, I can still get to dress them up with casual clothes. Maybe, just maybe next year I'll get the chance to do both. Hehehe....
But with all the frustration, we did find a nice sampin for Imran. Though it seems quite tight in tummy area, but Hubby said it'll do. Since the bigger size was too big for him. I ended up with 2 long shawls. 2 for RM10. Hehe.. Thought of getting myself a new Baju Kurung, but immediately changed my mind. I've got too many Baju Kurung already. Need to get rid of some before started buying one. Hubby got himself 2 sets of Baju Melayu buttons. I have no idea where his old sets has gone. Must be somewhere in the boxes I have yet to unpack. Hahaha.. Yes, I still have boxes to unpack. See how lazy I am?

Bedrest sucks!

My father has been admitted for the 100th time for his chest pain. He was diagnosed with heart problem since 2001. He has went for don't know how many angiogram. And few more procedures. He has then quit smoking, learn to control his never ending appetite and adventurous activities. The final blow given somewhere end of last year, where the doctor from IJN confirmed that he needs to do a bypass. No wait, the more accurate procedure was, a triple bypass. That's right. He has 3 major blockage. Youch!!!!
We're still waiting for the call. His next check-up is in December. Have yet to confirm the surgery. My father hates surgery. He can't stand the idea of cutting your body to get better. Then again, if there was any other way, obviously we would have chose that. Although the problem is my father does not really appreciate alternative medicine. He's a litle bit skeptical with it.
Anyway, as of now he needs to be on total bedrest for 3 nights. For my father, that sucks BIG time! He's the kind of man who has problem with being idle. I found out from my mother that he just bought RM5.00 worth of newspapers to read. One thing about him, he does not read books, magazine and any other reading materials other than newspaper. I can't imagine having to read the same news on different papers could be any better than reading one lousy book.
Well, he's be in KL starting on Monday next week until Friday. I'll get the chance to see him then. Hopefully he'll listen to what I have to nag about. Hahaha!!!!

Walk-in closet pt 3

I owe this to CT.. sorry the late post. Hehehe.. And Hubby was the one who took these photos. And turns out not so easy to take photos in closed space. Need to learn photography from Zana. Can you clear your schedule for classes, darling?

When Mummy falls sick...

Daddy would say, you need to take a rest. A good rest will make it a lot better. But he does not say out loud is.... Since he has to go to work, please make sure the kids taken their shower, dressed and fed. The house needs to be presentable at all time. And please make sure there's food on the table because he'll be hungry when he comes home.
I am down with a cold and I can't just rest due to house chores and the kids to take care of. Hubby was already at the office by the time the cold got worse. So there's nothing much to do. You know you're in trouble when everytime you sneezes, you peed. Some of you may only have this problem during pregnancy. I guess I have something pressing my bladder even though I'm not pregnant. hahaha.. I seriously need to do Pap Smear.
And here is our living room with the new sofa from Recliners and Sofa. At last Hubby can relax after a long day at the office. Huhuuh!!!

The entertainment area. See how comfortable Hani is?

The separator from adult and kids area. See the mess?! That's the culprit.

Play area for the kids. Ignore the mess. Hahah!

The super cute twins!

The 5-year-old twins, Upin Dan Ipin has been in my mind since they first appear on TV9 last year. Unfortunately due to the time and day of the show, I have missed most of the episodes. Now they broadcast the previous episodes on their official website. If only I can get Hubby to get the DVD so that I can let Imran enjoy them as much as I do.
