Randoms ending year 2009...

In 2009, this is what both hubby & me produced, an adorable bubble that melts our heart 24/7! Looking at him each time leave us the feeling that there will not be any new bubble to our family tree... He's a wonder.

In 2009, they embraced each other as elder brother to Furqan, and still trying to show how much they adores their little baby brother...

In 2009, this is where they spent every weekend at the swimming pool, learning to master the art of water strokes - an activity where they release their 'junior-stress' feeling...

In 2009, they continued with reading as a habit & yes, we did it! In cultivating reading habits to them.

In December 2009, they enjoyed almost alternate days at the playground...

In December 2009, Sufi, Khair & Furqan has already learned to love each others company & enjoying every moment of it...

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL & HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

Its a Christmas holiday, happy why? not because I am celebrating it, but the fact of having another festive holidays is a great way to celebrate great deals! Shopping bargains are everywhere, great food, TV series are more variety especially the OKTO channel which my chidren always looks forward to. And of course, I always have a great day during festives holidays. No doubt that hubby is working today (afternoon shift), still we enjoyed ourselves at home by watching cartoons, movies, gamings on Facebook and I get to cook Chicken Rice!! So we had it for lunch and later for dinner too! Maybe I will whipped up a dessert, lets see what I can find in the freezer *winks*....

New rice cooker, few mins at the field & hangout @ nenek house

just bought new rice cooker frm Tefal, basic function such as cook rice, porridge, replacing our 8mth old phillips rice-cooker that went berserk! send it for repairs as it has a two-yr warranty. I love it as it has lots of functions;baking, sushi, congee, steam and so on... one thing for sure my kids will not be having home made sushi for some time...

At 4pm, off we went to the field across our flat, meeting Cik Na & Cik Zack with their kids flying kites before we went to Nenek hse (hubby's maternal grandma) @ Kallang.

Running Errands for year-end

My hubby is still on leave today and he will be till 24Dec09/Thurs whereby he will start work back. We are determined to rush things, clear things that is undone so far. Today we managed to go to Khair's Preschool to buy his school books for Kindergarten 1. He will be in K1-Mercury. We opt him out of refreshment as Khair didnt eat his portions at least 90% during his days in AL-Amin Preschool. As usual, he will complained that the food during break-time is not to his likings or the food is cold. He prefer to bring lunch from home. Mummy's boy I must admit.

We didnt get to go Madrasah Irsyad as we are supposed to collect P1 books next week.

Then off we go to IKEA, our all-time favourite store where great items at great prices. And we just love IKEA's Smaland. But, Sufi & Khair simply loves to tag along with us to shop ;)
Managed to buy the cloth linen, rugs, utensils, stonewares, organisers, knives, scissor, preparation bowl and the list goes on (thou not completing my shopping-list, whc there are lots more to buy!!). Christmas is the time to shop at IKEA as they have lots of great deals!

Then we went back to Compass Point to sent the Phillips Rice-Cooker to Best Denki for repairs and then to SingTel to get myself Nokia E63 -  which is on zero dollars. Otherwise I will not be buying any to replace to old spoilt mobile. Cool. Love white always.

Grabed a meal frm BK and off home. Tired, the kids sure was esp walking up & down the gigantic IKEA!!
We are still preparing, clearing and lots more for the New Year... And Sufi busy with his doodling on cardboards while Khair & hubby installing the clothes rack that we bought from Ikea.

The beautiful breeze snapped from our very own windows...

These are the few things that we bought from Ikea....

Khair looking & learning so intense...

Furqan also busy as a bee posing to my E63!

Sufi and his doodle, trying to follow Eistein...

Taa daaaa! I'm a doodle Champ!!

SubUrban Trip to Cameron Highlands 11Dec09

Its the time of the year where we tried to go for a short trip. Initially we planned to go Fraser Hill but the hotels there are fully booked. We ended up going to Cameron Highlands since we love the laid-back moments. Serene. And full of fresh air. We thought of Genting but its a fast pace place, we decided on Cameron then. Alhamdulillah. The boys love the place. Its cool. Last I checked was 9degree.. cold. not cool. It will be nice if my parents didnt cancel their trip... but cant avoid as my dad is still in 'Compassionate-Moment'.

My hubby been there before, but not me... The journey is far more scary than I ever imagined. Didnt expect the road to be so curly like a snake. My heart almost stopped the moment we go swirling up to the peak of the mountain. The journey to KL was almost 4hrs as we stopped only once. When we reached to KL, the journey to Ringlet is about 1.5hrs and the toll to Ringlet is almost RM20. At Ringlet, there is Iskandar Lata waterfall and the Orang Asli Village along the roadside. Their house are so unique thou you cant imagined that there are still such houses in this era. The waterfall is beautiful. We didnt stopped thou, but had a dipped when we are going back to Singapore. From Ringlet to Tanah Rata where our hotel is took us another 1.5hours to drive up. We stayed at the Century Pines Resort, which is the central of Cameron Highlands. There is a mosque just beside the hotel. Above all, the hotel is great! Its more than we can ask for. There is no a/c or ceiling fan as its really breezy in the day although you can feel the sun. At night, its damn cold!!! Freezing to my bone! My chipmunks loved to cuddle up! I am suprised, there is a lake ontop of a mountain.

And not to mentioned the pine trees at the mountain! Its everywhere and I love them! The fresh scents coming from those pine trees really made my day. Not to mentioned the ones surrounding our hotels, and along the roadsides. Its fresh and beautiful.

We love the Brinchang Pasar Malam, its about 15mins drive from our hotel. Thou we had breakfast in the hotel restaurant, we prefer to have street food. The food there is delicious, esp the mee bakso! And its only RM3.50!! And the meatball is super!! Apart from the plantation & strawberry plantation, we had a great time at the tea plantation too... Above all, we love the place. Its so relaxing. Its definitely a great place to relax, away from the busy life. The time there is slow & steady. We do not at all feel rush.

We dropby Klang for a few hours, to my hubby grand-uncle's shop. Will be uploading pictures soon...

Over the weekend... Random Blues...

She's gone. Is it going to be forever? I am totally not sure. What I am sure is Allah loves his ummah & always giving us a chance to know him better. Since she's gone, question marks eludes everyone of us at home. And everyone is starting to be as vigilant as never before. Forgive? Yes, maybe its already history, but to forget? The scar is always be there till every each one of us leave this physical world.

I am still counting the days.... Its only the 2nd day today.

Salam Aidiladha.

Resuming Weekly Art Lesson...

Its towards the end of Syawal, cookies almost finished, drink toppers kept, coasters tiled ready to be kept away. Baju kurung washed & folded away. Swimming lesson has started and Furqan has already started with his weekly splashing-time. And even the weekly art lesson by Teacher-Mummy has started too, which Sufi & Khair has been urging me to start as soon as they have missed a lesson. And I am feeling happy too. Its always thereupatic when you can sit down & start drawing whatever that came across your mind. The picturistic ideas that the boys can think of is so clear and they cant wait to draw it down.

Hi family, friends and fellow buddies, my handphone goes berserk! It will just go off anytime, anywhere!!

So this is the time i really lay back & rest, thou not exactly, halfway through stuffing the hungry chirpy baby!

Happy Birthday Sufi !!

Its another year for my Sufi, he turns 6years old this month and I see him becoming more & more mature as time flies. He is a grown up boy. Sometimes, I missed those days but I felt blessed that Allah has let him see the world up to this age. May Allah blessed you baby.

He asked for Korean food, unlike Khair who went for Japanese Food. More pictures will be upload soon. We had a great feast @ Seoul Garden last week and we had a short tram ride at the Downtown East.
