Our Saturday..

We went to see Chingay in the neigbourhood earlier.. Hmm.. ok la.. not so lively as how I expected it to be.. but the girls definitely had fun.. waving and shouted,



"Wahh.. LAWA!!"



We cam-whored while waiting for the parade to begin..



But for the parade.. no pics at all..



ONLY this..







Ok la.. betta than nothing at all.. hehehe..

First attempt

Spent the whole aftrnoon making these:

1. Nasi Minyak
2. Ayam Masak Merah
3. Udang Black Pepper
4. Dhalca Veggies
5. Pajri Nenas
6. Acar Timun
Any special occasions?

NOPE!

Ohh well, there is.. I've been wanting to "return" some dishes to my next door neighbour as they had been giving us more than twice the time before the CNY holidays and since I've been "busy" that whole week, I didnt hv the time to return them any..

So todae.. I tried to cook Nasi Minyak. And how's the outcome?

Alhamdulillah.. I've passed!!
Yahoo!!

After sending over those dishes to my neighbour.
I started packing for mak and others too.


Zalie came down aftr maghrib to pick up the foods.
Thanks, Li for coming.. =D 

Abt one half hour later, received a call frm mak.
She gave me good comments as well as a complain.. that
the food was yummy and delicious 
but its not enough!!

She said, usually.. I'll give generous portion of rice each time I serve them.. but this time, the rice I've packed was little and there aint any additional rice at all. Hahaa.. I apologised. So sorry.. Reali am glad you guys love the food but..

Dare not cook too much for first attempt.

Well, thanks for the compliments eh.. Insya'allah, next time..
I'll cook more.. So can have the additional packs.. *winks*

ps: I wonder what to cook next week.. =D

To Tanjung Rhu again

We went Tanjung Rhu again todae..
for POWERWALK again of cos! hehehe..

And along the way.. we saw these..


for Chingay 2008..
It was todae, right?

We definitely missing it.. but wait..
heard its coming to Bishan - Toa Payoh nx wkend..

So.. I'll be there!! hehehehe..

Meanwhile.. back to Tanjung Rhu..
Mak had gone for her powerwalk earlier.. gone on her own..
and so, I went with mine and bein accompanied by Nadhirah..

At the end of the path.. Nadhirah & I together we explore the other side of the bridge that link it.. And there we were at the Stadium Waterfront. Too bad it was already dark.. If not, we'll be able to take as many pictures as possible..

For now.. just enjoy these..

ps: tmr another day of power-walking @bishan park.. *winks*

She get henna-ed!

"Mama.. nak dlaw(draw).. nak dlaw!!" hehehe..

Its not any ordinary draw..
She wanted her hands hennaed..
And she had been buggin me for fw days..

And last night.. at 0100hrs..
I fulfilled her wish..






She's happy with the pretty "flowers" she called it.. hehehe

Mama not an expert in this la, Dhirah..
Wait till I got the different type of henna ok..
Will get ayah to do ur hands.. or perhaps ours? hahahaha..

Till then..


She anxiously
waited till these one are done!


Askd adik this mornin if she wants it too..
And she said, "No no no!" hahaha..

Taxi no more..

Taxi fares had gone up..

Previously, it cost me abt $6-$8 to Bishan but now, abt $10 or more..

So, I tink for a change.. its betta if I could travel by bus/mrt instead.

Well, I know.. travelling by buses/trains took longer times.. but isnt it betta? At least I can save quite a few of dollars that could cost me a meal or two @McDonalds or mebe an ice-cream frm Swensens? hahaha..

So, my new journey begun yesterday.. we took the bus to Toa Payoh Interchange.. the journey took us abt 45-50mins to reach Toa Payoh.. The girls loves the bus ride.. especially Nadiah.. she just cant keep still but she never fails to smile to the people at the back seats.. hehehe..


I bought Nadhirah her own ez-link card..

She's grown so tall already.. hehehe..

We then took the train next to Bishan station. And in total, it took as an hour frm my plc to mum's.. Lucky enough, mum's blk was just 5mins walk frm the MRT. If we were to travel again by bus.. I dunno how much longer its gonna take us.. hehehe..

But overall, it was ok..
the journey was a smooth one..
and the girls aint cranky at all.. Alhamdulillah.. =)

Pretty in purple?

The school having a CNY celebrations todae. So, its ONLY an hour of school. Nadhirah woke up early, so eager and anxious to meet her friends again aftr the long holidays.

And today, she's not in her uniform but home-clothes instead.
I was looking for her cheongsams that was given by fellow frens.. but I guess most of it was given away as its either too small/big for her. And I managed to find..


Wanna find out what she's wearing?
*giggles*












Hehee.. Its she adorable?! *winks*

Then back home from school.. Saw another "hong bao" in her hands..
She said to me.. "Kakak nya.. teacher kasi!"







Open up the red packet and this time, she found
two piece of gold chocolate coins
and gave a piece to Nadiah..

I bet, she must have said these..
"No need to fight over one chocolate.. cos todae,
I've got TWO chocolates!!" *LOL*

When boredom kills

Acompanied Zalie to get the car serviced @Bukit Batok..
And, we went..



Spent almost 3 hours here..
and since we got nothin else to do..
we cam-whored, what else.. hehehe

@Bottle Tree Park

I came over to mum's place since last Wednesday.
And we've been goin out almost everyday.. hehehe..

And todae.. we went out again.. First we went Sun Plaza..
Only Mum, me & d girls. And we went there by train.

Wanted to take a cab there but after considering the taxi fares..
we decided not to waste on d fares. And besides that.. its been so long, we took the train.. since we've alwez been pampered bein drove around by our available drivers.. hehehe..

So, todae.. its mak's first train again after a long 3years.. hehehe..
Along the way.. we spotted something.. and planned to go there next.. =D

Few hours later, the boys picked us up and then, we went to
Bottle Tree Park!

It is a beautiful place!

Would love to visit it again with hubby next.
Hopefully soon..

He's missing us!

CNY is here and its a long holiday for us who aint celebrating!

Hubby gave us the permission to sleep over @bishan. I tot of just slpin over till Friday. But hubby said, why not till Sunday since he's also will be bz with work especially that he'll be in the aftrnoon shift.

And so..
we just grab the given opportunity to sleep over @mak's..

And its been fw days.. and hubby is missing us.. hehehe.. If only we could make the 3G calls.. it would be just great. But too bad, we cant.. So, the only way is to.. take pictures of the girls and MMS to dearest ayah!


Ya, I only send the girls picture over. Hehee.. Purposely.. Just wanted him to miss me more.. *winks* Nvm, by tomorrow nite, I'm back in his arms again.. So, I guess.. He can wait.. to see my face again! Just another day what.. hahaha

Power-walk @Tanjung Rhu

Its CNY eve todae..
And we headed down to Tanjung Rhu earlier.

But along the way.. my poor Nadhirah felt giddy and vomitted.
She got all her clothes and the car seat soiled.
And atuk/uncle zali had to wash them clean.
Thanks, guys!

And lucky for her, I had brought along extra clothes..
If not, she had to go naked! Opppsss! hehehe..

So, I pyscho hubby.. called him while he's @wrk..

telling him, how much I've missed his fried rice..
*winks*

And he said,
"Ok.. I'll cook.. provided you prepare me all the ingredients!"

Aiyaa.. that's chicken feet la!! hehehe..

So, I prepared all the ingredients he needed..
Nicely arranged all.. just for my personal chef. =D

I waited for like 2hrs long for him to get home,
all cleaned up and finally into preparing his only fried rice..

Well, its worth waiting!


Thanks, darling!

Sleepy Sunday

I had went for my power walk @east coast in the morning.. I felt much betta after that. Its been a long time since I had this kinda exercise.. And especially with the morning sea breezes, it was super great! hehehe..

Aftr breakfast @changi airport.. we headed home. Put all my things aside.. and *BAMM* on the bed. Slept the whole afternoon. hehehe.. I wondered why I was so sleepy then.. even the kids were.. I guess the sea breezes had made us felt that way.. hehehe..

At 4pm, I was awaken by hubby.. asking me to eat.. he had cooked!
Yeah.. he cooked for us..

1. Sambal sardines
2. Fried curry cabbages

But I was still quite full to eat then.. I apologised to him and he advised me to go back to sleep as I was still looking very sick and tired. Yeah, I felt sick.

My eyes were watery.. *sigh*

I felt guilty for not appreciating his effort to cook for us today. Even that nite, I had no appetite to eat but as to appreciate hubby's cooking. I ate d sardines with breads instead.

Sorry, bie.. I promise to re-heat the foods tmr and eat it, ok?
Thanks but sorry, bie.. =(

Oh yes.. thanks also to a new friend of mine.. Minah Rahaman.. She came down earlier on, all the way from Woodlands to pass me the cough syrup, she had bought @JB. Not only that.. she also gave us a box of these each:

1. cheese cookies
2. marble cake

And they were delicious!! *slurps*

Thanks for all, Minah!
Reli appreciate it!! *hugss*

Nice meeting you and hubby..
Hopefully, we'll meet up again.. Insya'allah..

Its all FIXED!!

Remembered this?

Thanks to dearest hubby!!

He not even fixed it but repainted it in black as well.. hehehe..


Now, girls.. please be more careful while riding/driving..
