happy birthday haji..!

Geng 'arop' (gitu ka eja, v?) berkumpul d rumah fabmom untuk meraikan birthday Haji, our former boss. Tapi tanpa menjemput yang diraikan. Bolehkah?

Tea party going under cover. Ini kali betul-betul 'tea' , not lunch, tuan rumah nda sempat masak tengahari. (Nda juga puas kan, gugurls. Lain kali kita heavy lah balik).

Silakan menjamu mata. Ini bawaan dari whimsy - cocktail sausages

Fabmom's chicken boxing.

Fabmom's carrot cake and mix sandwiches

Shabbymom's pasta.

Shabbymom's girls goofing around

Kami start very awal 2.30. Jadi banyak masa melepak dan beriadah di luar selepas melantak.

Whimsy lawan badminton with Helmi.

The girls rupanya mencari set permainan masak-masak. Mana lah bah ada d rumahku ni. My daughter nda main masak-masak lagi. She's into computer games.

Tapi dengan kreativiti boleh juga dorang main masak-masak menggunakan apa yang ada.

C Cha bikin icecream (giant coned iceream) pakai bola. Bijak.

C adek pula..ermm entahlah...mula-mula dia kumpul batu atas raket badminton dan pura-pura memasak. Lepas tu dia perah limau nipis atas bunga-bungaku (kalau x ditegah dia mau petik semua limau-limau di pokok tu..)....apa konon imaginasi nya entahlah....apa-apa ja la adek..sukahati kau.

Gitulah cerita Friday kami..Happy birthday Haji! selamat panjang umur!

and wishing everybody a happy weekend!

reason to be cheerful

I hope you are having a great week so far. Mine didn't start too well. I've finally had the 'jamin amah' process done. The freaking 'office' which I had to go back and forth 4 times (!) is updating its new system and every transaction was bloody slow. And when I thought its over, I got to my parking and found a scratch on my car. Though not serious..just a little..there on the bottom side..apa panggil tu..skirting?..I must have grazed it on some divider earlier when I made a rough turn to park quickly. Urgghh!! I'm soo getting an agent next time.

Anyway its over, thats a relief. I had a nice lunch in a nice place afterwards. Hmm..the place is cool and breezy despite alfresco on a hot afternoon.

Teka la sendiri d mana aku lunch ni. Ordered butter prawn.Nda alang-alang ok prawn nya. Tiga ekor besar-besar! dalam semangkuk buttersauce!

I felt much much better after the prawn. You know when life sucks, if you just breathe deeply, take a while, think nice things you'll find reasons to be cheerful.


Remember my crafty project? Done! in record time. Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

One for my room
and one for my daughter's room.

And I'm counting for another reason to be cheerful come Friday! Hihihi..no prize for guessing what it is.

saturday story

Saturday was spent at my brother's house. His daughter had her 1st birthday party. Adriana. My youngest niece.

And she share the same birthday as her mother, Yana.

How nice kan my brother. Sekali saja dia raikan birthday anak & bini. Terus Valentine lagi tu. Tidak payah pening-pening ingat banyak tarikh.

For my hubby (mau juga menyelat cerita sendiri), dia paling pening bila May. First week our youngest son's birthday, 2nd week Mothers Day, 3rd week my birthday and 4th week our wedding anniversary. Tiap-tiap minggu kami celebrate sepanjang bulan !

Bday girl with her dad.

Birthday girl and birthday girl mom.

Selepas makan-makan we stayed a bit and went for briskwalking at Tasik Likas , nearby the house. Sampai juga 3 round kami. Harap-harap burn calorie la tu.

Have a happy Sunday!

make over

Konon-konon mau ber kreatif sedikit di rumah ni. Gotta couple of wicker baskets lying around in the store. I decided to do some make over.

Spray them white.

I have kept these perca-perca kain from last baby's pillowcase and some curtains leftover. The idea is to line the basket with these kain.

To turn it to this. This is a ready-made one.

Wish me luck, k. (kesian bah..basic sewing ja ba ni kan..pun kesusahan).

And then while cleaning outside the house, I got depressed seeing my old wooden chair.

what an eye-sore! (S & V, memang high time kan for make-over!)

So I paint it white. Penat juga mencat ni. Dan cat kayu lambat kering. Balik-balik ter chipped.

I want to pad the seat and put cushions. I don't have enough perca kain to DIY. This one has to be contract out la. (Actually si whimsy punya kain yang dia tidak beli di Tawau tu cantik kan. Seat berbunga, pillow dia polka dot, ngam sekali. Haiyaa..).

That's all from here folks. Happy Thursday!
