Birthday Treat from Nana, Sengju (Bangsar Village)

I will be celebrating my 38th birthday this coming Monday uolz hehe... and I am proud to say that I am getting nearer to the big 4-0 than ever before!

Went for my first birthday treat yesterday and it was with Nana. It has become our tradition to have Japanese every year for my birthday. These were what we ordered and as always, we were very satisfied with the service and the quality of food. They are superbly fresh and yummy. I like the environment too! Thanks Nana :)

My lunch set (RM38)

Nana's

If only they are available here...

When I was in London last November, I fell ill (flu, sore throat, cough) on the day I departed from KLIA. As soon as I reached Heathrow, I was in communication with my cousin who recommended me to purchase this product from the pharmacy. True enough, I felt and got better the next day. It is unbelievable.  Unfortunately, Day & Night Nurse is not available here in Malaysia. When I found out that one of my colleagues was going to London last month, I asked him to get me these two boxes. Hopefully, they would last for at least half a year...They are approximately RM25 each.

This was a gift from one of my favourite ex-students who happens to now be one of my colleagues (just recently). I know, I know...I should have been the one giving her a welcome gift teehehe...Anyway, thanks Meen :)

Victoria Secret's Coconut Passion bath gel - Wangiiiiii....

Food poisoning?

After the kids' activities last Sunday, we took them out for lunch at this place called Octopus Sushi & Thai at KL Festival City. Nazri had grilled fish (which we think was the culprit). Not that the fish was bad or anything (it wasn't his first time ordering that same fish anyway ), just that Naz's sensitive tummy somehow couldn't handle it on that particular day.

When we arrived home, Fiera, one of my bestest friends was already waiting to pick me up for tea. We were going to Carcosa Seri Negara to celebrate her belated birthday and to experience ourselves, the much publicized tea, fit for a queen. My other best friend, Azman was meeting us there. Overall, we had a great time catching up but would we go there again? Honestly, there was nothing extra ordinary so maybe not. Once in a life time experience is sufficient for me :).

I got home at about 5.30pm and Naz was lying in bed. I was told that he he had been throwing up since 3pm. Wanted to take him to the ER immediately but he still wanted to wait. So in the end, we only went at about 7pm when he couldn't bear any longer. At that time, he was already so weak and so nauseated that he could hardly walk. Took him to Al-Islam Specialist Hospital and he was instantly given medication through a drip. It was so, so hard to look at my man in that condition. Half of my body was weak as I could also feel his agony. The other half of me was forced to function so that I could be there for him. I needed to be strong for him. It hurts so much to see him hurting like that.

Anyway, he was sent home late that night and as I usual, I couldn't really sleep. I was worried, that he would  throw up again, or the air-cond was too cold, or he wanted water or he just needed me.  I took emergency leave yesterday just to make sure that he is all better. Being at home, while my big baby was recovering, I realized that I would love to be a stay-at-home mom one day. I would love to manage my home and my family myself and most important of all, to have all the time to become a better Muslim. Yupp, that's my ultimate goal in life. One day, insya Allah....
 

An evening @ Port Dickson

I was never able to upload photos directly from my mobile phone to my blog but now I can yeayyy. Thanks to Naz and iOS 7!

I can now blog and share photos in real time. How cool is that?! For a start, let me share share some photos which were just taken in the last hour or so...

Isi perut dulu...

Seriously, this is PD, not Bali!

Beach lovers...

Whose friendly baby is that?

Naz and I are going to Sabah next weekend to celebrate my birthday so thought we should let the kids have a lil fun at the beach before leaving them for two nights. Kira upah kena tinggal hehe...

Treasured Friendship

Went out with one of my bestest friends in the whole wide world, Win for a belated birthday lunch at Vinera Cucina, Bangsar Shopping Center yesterday. They serve delicious, authentic, Italian food. Win ordered this Fusillia something2 pasta which looked amazing. When we put in our order, we had requested for an extra serving of pasta for Win (knowing that their portion is small). We even stressed that we were willing to pay extra. However, we were disappointed to be informed later on that it was not possible :(...

I, on the other hand ordered a gorgonzola pizza with extra mushroom. The cheesy pizza was great. Just the way I like it. Not too much crust and not that well done so it was soft and chewy. Perfect!

Sorry, I didn't take a single photo as Win and I were just too busy exchanging stories. We have not had this sorta sharing session for sooo long. Glad that we finally did. Love you Win!

Another action packed weekend!!!

Took B out for a belated birthday lunch. We went to Lids and Finch, Jalan Dungun off Damansara Heights. The interior was simple but very pleasant - perfect for a quiet and peaceful break - away from the hustle and bustle of our office. B ordered a plate of Pesto with grilled chicken and I ordered Aglio Olio spaghetti with beef bacon bits. To end our meal, we decided to share a piece of Chocolate Mud Cake which was not bad (not great cause it was not muddy enough for a choc lover like me moohaha!).

Rating: 3.5/5

B's lunch - Pesto with chicken

What I had - Aglio Olio

That night, in the spirit of a very much anticipated long weekend, Naz and I took the kids to AEON AU2 for some fun. Munira and Muzafar were excited to try out archery and Muhaya was let loose in kidzooona. They had KFC for dinner and look, sempat lagi berposing before we left. We got cold stares from the girl who was mopping the floor cause it was slightly past 10pm. Sorry hehe...

I, AM, NOT! going anywhere near there!

Happy baby!

Only Muzafar has the right expression here keh3...

While Naz was at work on Saturday, my dad and I followed my sister to her apartment in Seri Putra. Just to check on the renovation progress.

Her balcony

Her wet kitchen

Our dessert  (haha sempat lagi) - Secret Recipe's new Turkish Indulgence. Rating: 4/5

When Naz got home from work, he sent Munira to her friend's sister's wedding and brought the other two kids to Citrus Hotel where his siblings were staying for the night. More for a little fun in the swimming pool for the little ones.

Muhaya and her cousins - the 2009 babies...

As soon as I got back from Seri Putra, I was busy in the kitchen preparing dinner for Naz's family. Unfortunately, didn't take any photo of what I cooked.

Naz's large family...

As for Sunday...it started out with Naz and I going for a walk/light jog at Lake Titiwangsa very early in the morning. Then, we were off to send Muzafar for his guitar lesson and Muhaya for her ballet class. After that, we went to my cousin's open house in Setiawangsa. After the open house, we once again went to Titiwangsa Lake. This time for the playground.

While waiting for Muhaya, I decided to do a lil stitching. The above is the 'before photo' of my baju kurung sleeve

Here is the 'after photo'. Whaddaya think? I personally think it now looks classier

My cousin's open house. Kambing golek tuuu...

Minah posing hehe...

Waiting for their aiskrim potong/goyang Milo :)

On Malaysia Day (public holiday hoorayyy), we had a picnic at Lake Titiwangsa (yes again) while the kids were riding their bicycles. Naz and I took turns to walk around the lake.

Gosh, I look so big here...Uwaaa!!!!!

The rest of our day was spent at home. Entertaining my auntie who came down from Kuantan and I was also busy with housework, housework and more housework hehe. Overall, it was a fantastic 3 day weekend! I wish for moreeee...

Yeaayyy to a long weekend!

Muzafar is at school today. His wound is still visible but healing well. Syukur pada Allah and thanks to the doctor for prescribing the right medication.

A student, A.N. came by to the office the day before yesterday and brought this for me, for the admin unit, for the two bosses. I have to say, these are the best pineapple tarts I have tasted in years. He should seriously consider marketing this commercially. Delicious!

Awesome Pawsome Tarts!

One of the projects I have been putting on hold for the past 3 years is framing the kids' baby photos. Last month, I was clearing my drawers and I found the frame. I was thinking to myself, now or never. So here it is, finally done. Paid RM15 to get Munira and Muzafar's photos scanned, enlarged and printed but all worth it. My babies are sooo cute!

Munira, Muzafar and Muhaya...awww my three 'mu'sketeers
