The famish piranhas.

I was late defrosting the chicken for lunch today. So, you can imagine how hungry the piranhas were.

When i finished cooking lunch today, the elder piranhas eyes were sparking.... Hahaha. Now, let's see how determined they were... Whoa!

A date to remember!

Took a day off today, and spend it with dear hubby to smell the rose... Hahaha.

We started the day early, right after sending the kids to school. Got held up by traffic in quite a few places but they were still bearable.

The blissful morning was officiated by sugary coffee and hot chocolate @ Starbuck. Honestly, it was an expensive breakfast. Since pos malaysia only open @ 10pm, we spent over an hour sipping the morning away. Then, we went to watch Tresspass. Nothing new to the expected plot but I still like it though.

Come noon, hubby went for Friday prayer, and I quickly catch up with Fadz for what else if not shopping.... Hahaha.

Had lunch with dear hubby a bit after 2pm. At first, I really like the ambience but that feeling was quickly dissapeared after the food arrived.... The food was edible but it could have been better. I had Norwegian salmon with orange sauce. It tasted weird. But that was nothing compared to the pot of lavender tea i ordered. It tasted as if i had swallowed a bowl of potpourri! Or at least that was what I thought it tasted like. The aroma was overpowering.

Hubby and i got ourself a new haircut to end the day. I love my new pixie hairstyle. Thanks hubby for everything. We should do this more often!

Sweating Sunday

Yes, today is all abot sweat. Mostly hubby's and the kids'. Me? I just sat patiently next to the badminton courts. Most of the time, staring blindly at familiar faces.... Other times, looking at facebook or web. And looks like hubby's badminton tournament is far from over.

My post is obviously dull without pictures ain't it? So, here it is.

And oh, dear hubby got 4th place. Snd he got cold hard cash for the prize! Cool isn't it. Come in very handy at time like this hahaha....

At peace

Today, i felt really at peace, calm. Never felt like this in a long, long, long time. Though work in the office was piling up, with approaching dateline... But somehow i really feel at ease, feeling peace. Hubby suggested that i might have finally know how to manipulate my mind, to keep things under control... Let's just hope that all the coming days remain as calm and me always be calm and collected. Amin.

Today's dosage of The king of baking on 8tv just ended. And i will have to prepare shopping list for tomorrow's potluck in Seremban. A few recipes have been selected; nasi bukhari, almond chicken and raisined beef. On top of that, there will be an open house i need to attend to. Looks like a busy day ahead. Will try to upload pictures tomorrow.

As for the food for dinner tonite, it was not bad. It's penang style food at Mee Udang Nakhoda in Bangi, where the price is always rite:

Little White Cafe by fzld

Had dinner there last night. Food was so and so despite good raves about the cafe in other blogs. Hubby said that probably our standards are quite high... Muhahaha. But the kids thought the same too.

Lets take a look at what we ordered ya :)

About that Spider Web...

Yes, I know. My blog full of spider webs. Haven't update it for the longest time. Since the last time I updated my blog (which was in 2009), a lot of things have happened:

1. I have changed my job
And yes, to a much, much and much better one now. I am also much, much and much happier now. No more late nights and long hours. No more screaming children whose sleeps were interrupted since they have to pick me up late in the nights from office. No more feeling torn apart between work and family. For the first time in my career life, I actually have work-life balance!

Hubby and kids are happier too. I am at home more. I guess, my home is much happier as well; I managed to clean up the house and doing laundry on daily basis. On rotating cleaning schedule obviously, since I am a part time organized freak!

2. On Culinary Skill
Hmmm... I guess I have improved a lot in this area too. I have added more recipes under my belt; Bread & Butter pudding, Japanese Soufflé Cake, Fruit Tart & Mackerel and Mayonnaise Tart, Ayam Percik, Brownies. All these made possible by my Teka's oven.

3. On Sewing Skills
I now know how to make pillow cases, flat sheets, curtains, baju kurung, tudung and a few other things. And no, I haven't go to any sewing classes. I mainly copy from the old clothes to make new ones. Apart from that, I relied mostly on a sewing book and You-tube.

Well, I guess that's wrapped up almost 2 years of my MIA. I will try to add in more post later. I have plenty of photos to share too ;). Until then, sayonara.
