Birthday Cake

I wanted to buy a birthday cake for my little munchkin this morning. I walked into a local bakery under the assumption that the cakes there will be a lot cheaper. There were only a few cakes left and since I’m too lazy to go the ‘branded’ secret cake house, I stayed and picked a so-so-design rainbow cake. “Nak tulis apa apa?” she asked me. I said “yes” and started writing ’Happy Birthday Khalisya’ on a piece of paper. The cake was brought to the pantry for them to pipe the words on it. The young girl came out in a few minutes saying that the cake was faulty and cannot be sold to anyone. Then I chose a bluish ‘Minion’ choc sponge cake. For a minute there I thought Khalisya would love the design on the cake. And when I asked about the price, the young girl look at me deep into my eyes and said that she didn’t know the price and the person in charge was not around for her to ask. Duhh! I walked away straight to the ‘branded’ secret cake house and got me a Red Velvet cake.

Happy Birthday my little munchkin ....

Happy New Year 2013

The New Year is the time of unfolding horizons and the realization of dreams, may you rediscover new strength and garner faith with you, and be able to rejoice in the simple pleasures that life has to offer and put a brave front for all the challenges that may come your way.

Wishing all of you a lovely New Year.


Catz: no fireworks tonite ... 

My Little Princess turns 3

We had a small birthday celebration for little Khalisya this evening at her taska. The teachers were kind enough to let us celebrate at the taska along with Khalisya's friends.

Its been a wonderful year for little Khalisya ....

 I'm a lllitle bit moody & cranky .... 

A birthday gift from the teachers. She unpacked the gift, gave it to her nenek and played with the paper bag. She's more interested with the paper bag than the content. That's my Khalisya alrite ... *LOL*

Catz: Grow my little one ... may Allah bless you always ...

Maal Hijrah 1434H

Salam Maal Hijrah to all my readers, friends and neighbors. Wishing you happy memories of the past and great beginning of the year. May this year brings us more barakah and rahmat from Allah. Ameen.

Diwali's Delight

To all my Hindu friends and neighbours ....
Brighten the season with your smiles ... spread cheer, spread laughter. Happy Diwali!

  Festival of Lights

It's been over a month since we last tasted Mak's cooking. And since she's back in town, she's been cooking like almost everyday. For today's Diwali's holiday Lunch specials, of course there were fish curry, family's long time favorite. Too bad my brother cannot join us. Lauk simple je tapi makan bertambah-tambah. *LOL*

 

Simple dish je ... kari ikan merah, ikan tenggiri goreng, sayur sawi, ikan masin talang & sambal belacan bacang. Yang takde dalam gambar is bubur kacang dengan durian. 

Lady Astronout in da making .... macam horror movie pun ada sikit-sikit

Khalisya makan pouridge with potato and carrot aje ... sesedap mana neneknya masak pun bukan dia makan pun ....Susah sikit nak bagi dia makan today, since troat dia bengkak kiri & kanan, its kinda hard for her to swallow hard food.

Catz: SSllluurrppp!

Chef Jimi in Action

Encik Hubby was on Selamat Pagi Malaysia, TV1 slot 28 October 2012. Since we do not have PVR, I managed to record the live telecast using my mobile. Itu pun berebut-rebut dengan Khalisya. Ok lah daripada takde lansung.

Chef Jimi (the name that the Lady Host called him) appeared dalam segment Demonstrasi Masakan Sempena AidilAdha bersama Chef Zainal.

his specialty .... fruit and ice carving

the video snippets I managed to edit ... sorry, the quality of the video is kinda erm u know ...

Catz: Semoga dipermudahkan urusan Encik Hubby

Welcome Back Kok Aji

My parents are back from Hajj around 2:00am this morning. Apart from the coughing, they are well in themselves. I'm just so happy that they're safely back and Khalisya seems so extremely excited to see her Kok Aji & Ajah Dede (Khalisya's language for Atok-Kok and Nenek-Dede).

Thanks to friends and families who came to visit. And a million thanks to my gramps and auntie for the dishes they brought for us to enjoy together.

I'm kinda tired as I don't really get enough sleep today but Khalisya slept like a log despite all the noises around her.

 A pose with the abaya jubah her gramps bought from Mekah.

Another gedik pose from my little one with the sunglasses. Owh ... the sunglasses was a gift from Drypers Drypantz.

Aidilfitri Day 2, 2012

Alhamdulillah selamat sampai di Kuantan around 2 pm. Dapat berita yg my BIL tgh critical di ICU HTAA so lepas check in terus he ke hospital. Sayu pulak hati tgk keadaannya.
Almost semua adik beradik Encik Suami on the way kemari setelah dapat berita yg sama. So we all pun sambil beraya sambil ke hospital menjenguk Abg Ngah.
seronok budak kecik nih...

Catz: sukanye dier ...

Biskut Raya

Tergerak hati pulak tahun ni nak buat kuih raya sendiri. Keadaan tak berapa mengizinkan untuk borong kuih-kuih tunjuk seperti tahun-tahun lalu. (Hopefully keadaan ini akan reda selepas raya).

 "Baik kau buat je kuih sendiri, tak banyak belanja"... memang betul kata mak, memang tak besar belanjanya ... cuma kena korbankan masa & penat lelah lah sikit.

Alhamdulillah dah empat malam berturut-turut saya berkesempatan membuat kuih ... bertambah juga la serba sedikit koleksi kuih raya yang tak berapa nak ada tu.


Catz: don't under estimate me eh, tak pandai masak tak semesti tak boleh buat kuih ... hik hik

Makan-Makan for a Friend

It's been a while since the last makan-makan entries. I should have posted a lot of makan-makan-in-the-office-entries since my room is located in front of the main pantry where almost all the makan-makan-celebration took place in the office.

This time the makan-makan is for a fellow officemate who resigned to be an entrepreneur. Good luck and all the best my friend.

Itu tulisan icing buat sendiri da ...

Catz: everydah ada makan-makan ...

Family Gathering

My brother decided to belanja the whole clan makan-makan on Aidil Adha. Dah lama hajatnya nak belanja everybody, dari plan nak ke Tupai-Tupai, BBQ kat rumah ... and lastly treat everybody in a small celebration doa selamat kat rumah Atok & Nenek. Not just all the uncles and aunties were invited, jiran-jiran terdekat and rakan-rakan Atok & Nenek dapat sama-sama menjamah hidangan. Tapi takde gambar yang dapat di snap since, camera woman dah sarat & tak berapa larat nak berjalan, asyik duduk kat area yg ada kipas je hehehe.

To my bro, thank Q for the treat.

Oh! Nur Kasih final episode tonite ... cam tak puas pulak tgk!


Catz: Selamat Menyambut Aidil Adha ...

Majlis For Mak

Every week Mak and her frens (persatuan wanita surirumah BSP) will have a weekly Majlis Yassin and this week Mak's frens decided to throw her a birthday celebration + Majlis bacaan yassin at our house.


Bacaan yassin followed by ceramah on The Meaning of Yassin by Ustaz (Oops forgot his name!) ...


... and followed by the event where Mak kena potong cake (in this case ... cakes) while her frens sang her the famous "Selamat Ulang Tahun" song.

It was kinda Majlis potluck. We(the host) only prepare pulut kuning + rendang + mee rebus while the others prepare something else. Tersangat byk makanan, sampai dunno which one to eat first ... meriah betul dorang berpesatuan. Wish I could join them, tapi kena jadi housewife dulu la ... *wink kat TK*.

Catz: teringat majlis potluck jaman dulu2 kat mmsc ...

Vote Earth

... The world first global election ...

Yup, we all pun participate, the whole family did ... sebulat suara! Just for an hour duduk dalam gelap plannye, but at 9:00pm, we all bukak tv for konsert Akademi Fantasia ... boleh? Tv je la ... yg lain off! Tapi at least Mak & Abah ada semangat jugak nak hormati kempen Vote Earth or Earth Hour.

Open Office

Lama betul tak update ... been very busy with the big day preparation.

Our floor hosted an Open House event yesterday. The tribemates have been quietly organizing the event since the beginning of the week. Other than lots of food, we also had a gift exchange ceremony where everyone was required to contribute a mystery gift. It was fun! ... macam deja vu ... macam pernah ku buat sebelum2 ini ... :D

Some familiar faces eh?

Dessert section ... ni baru dessert nye ... blom main course lagi *LOL*

freshly baked cinnamon role ... talented betul dorang ni memasak ...

Catz: 2 weeks to the big day

Belated Birthday

Putihsalju is now 2 years old. How can I forget? All my life, there were dozens of events fell under 14th August tab and it unconsciously slipped my mind. Happy belated birthday to putihsalju.blogspot.com.


Catz: jgn lupa wedding date sudahhh ....

May First

Nope! It got nothing to do with gelang Mayfirst tu *LOL*

May 1^st 2008, Happy labour day to all.

Had the chance to visit GSC Signatures at The Gardens today. Bayar lebih sikit je for a superb movie-watching experience. Birthday boy's wish nak tgk The Ironman, since midvalley's tickets were fully booked so we all lari pi Gardens ... sib baik ada & tak perlu beratur panjang pun :)

Kebunku ... view from 4th floor.

Catz: eppy besday Tukang Kebun!

CC to The Rescue

It's so hard for me not to have internet connection at home. Now I had to depend on Cyber Cafe for internet. I'm tired of getting Streamyx/TMPoint feedback on my connection. I'm planning to discontinue their services and switch to any portable wireless broadband. Any suggestion of which services to choose?

20-02-2008: I got this for KS's birthday. Patutnya birthday girl yg dapat cake, tapi terbalik pulak ... birthday girl yang distribute this cute cupcake. Anyway, Happy Birthday ... wishing you (we all sekali hehe) a prosperous and happy year :)

I love this colorful chairs. I had a meeting at MDec Innovation Centre somewhere in Cyberjaya last Friday, so this photo was taken after the meeting. It's not just colorful and pretty, but also very comfortable to sit on.

Another view of the chairs ... cantik kan?

ps: photo quality is not very good, since the cc I went only have Paint for photo editing *LOL*

Catz: seminggu satu update .. aiyaa
