I'M BACK!!!

My PC was having some technical problems for the past week. Alhamdulillah, everything is in perfect order now. We have decided to cease using the Singnet Broadband, so now we are using the Starhub MaxOnline. Hopefully it will not give us problems anymore.

Thank you for the birthday wishes for Afiqah and Afrina. Afrina's birthday was on 21st February and she is 6 six years old now. Since PC was down, so I didn't manage to upload her baby picture taken six years ago. Thank you to all once again.

Till the next update.......Enjoy your weekend!!!

Afrina and Afiqah's birthday are coming soon. Afrina has been pressuring me to prepare goodies bags to be distributed to her classmates. As this is her last year in Kindergarten, I agree. So Hubby went to JB to get all the goodies. Afrina also requested for birthday cake. As I do not want to trouble her teacher to cut the cakes in class, Hubby suggested that I bake cup cakes for her instead, which I tried yesterday. Of course the two girls are delighted to have goodies bags and cup cakes for their classmates.

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda : "Barangsiapa menggembirakan anak perempuannya, darjatnya seumpama orang yang sentiasa menangis kerana takutkan Allah dan orang yang takutkan Allah, akan diharamkan api neraka ke atas tubuhnya".


Chocolate Chips Cup Cakes


Yesterday, I felt that I was working non-stop. The weather was hot and I was sweating even though the fan was on. These were the major things that I did :-

Sent Afrina to school - bathed Afiqah and Affandy - clear laundry - cook - sent Afiqah to school - market - continue cooking - fetched Afrina - baked cake - coached Afrina on her homework - fetched Afiqah - lunch with the kids - put Afiqah and Affandy to sleep - update blog for a while - ironing - changed ALL bed sheets, mattress and pillows covers - bathed the kids - cleared the mess at living room - dinner with the kids - shower - played with the kids - put the kids to bed - watched CSI while waiting for Hubby to come home - slumber land. Phew.....my right hand is aching now!

Hubby lost his handphone yesterday. The sad thing is, all important telephone numbers were stored in his SIM card. It's tedious to get all the numbers all over again. He will be picking his new SIM card today and he will use his old handphone. I was wondering if I can sweet-talk him in buying the latest new handphone for me, and he can use mine instead...

I don't have the chance to sit long enough in front of the computer to update my blog. My name was being called everytime I sat in this room. Afiqah and Affandy is taking their afternoon nap, so this is my only chance to quickly recap the events in my life for the past few days.

Wednesday was lunching and shopping day with Linda and her mum. I bought a beautiful and expensive (very pricey for me!) cloth for myself. After sending them back home, I'm off to my in-laws' house. As usual, my MIL packed up some food for me to bring back.

Thursday was swimming day for us. Brought the kids to Choa Chu Kang Swimming Complex and we lunched at Sembawang Shopping Centre. Then stay home as everyone was tired.

Friday was back to normal routine as the girls started schooling.

Saturday was KO Gathering day. I've prepared 'lontong goreng' and we met at Lizanoor's house. This was the 3rd gathering for us. As we have known each other for quite sometime, our meetings was filled with jokes and laughter. I can see that we were not shy anymore, unlike the very 1st meeting. What is gathering without lots of foods being spread on the table. We ate, we laughed, we took pictures, we shaked hands and we left. Here's my photo with each of them...


Last shot before we headed home...


When will our next gathering be, girls?

Sunday morning I attended religious class and I saw Th0ts. She was quite a distance for me to call her. So I just sent her sms after the class and she was surprised. Will call out her name if I see her next week. And yes, Spidey was there too. No chance to chat long with her as she had to rush after the class.

Stayed home for the rest of the day till dinner. We dined at a restaurant along Sembawang Road. Next day was back to usual routine....

Hubby and the kids really love to eat suji. So after searching for the recipe, finally I have made my own!! (I've taken some pics but I can't seem to open my photobucket).

Thank you once again Mummy Jam for the recipe. You can be my official on-line recipe book *grin*. This is the original and traditional recipe. I also got some useful tips from my Aunt on how to make a good suji. It really taste simply divine...not so sweet and not so soft, just nice.

Let's see how long this tupperware of suji can last....

'Selamat Menyambut Zikral Hijrah 1426, semoga hidup kita senantiasa diberkati Allah....'

Before we headed to the dentist, Affandy had his hair trimmed. By his Abah, of course, as always. And as always, he just could not keep still. He would cry and cry and cry until no voice came out. Hubby was not satisfied with the trimming this time round. It was not perfectly done as Affandy moved too much. Guess what, the 'petak' appeared again! It's right at the back of his head. As long as his hair is no longer spiky, I don't mind the 'petak' at all.

We went to our dentist appointment after lunch. Hubby went in first. Geee..what took him so long inside? Then it's Afrina's turn. I went in with her. I explained to the dentist about my worry. She said that was nothing to worry about. It's normal for a new tooth to grow even thought the old ones are still intact. Sooner or later, it will fall off by itself. So now I'm a 'kancheong' mother. Well just for simple checking and explaining, $10 for consultation fee. Hah!!!

Next was my turn. She took about 10 mins to clean my teeth. And I'm free to go, with freshly polished teeth!! The dental fees for the 3 of us totalled up to $168!! So expensive. But at least all of us can have more reasons to smile broadly....

These past few days, I felt like throwing up whenever I woke up in the morning. I did throw up though. It scares me when I think I will be, you know, that nine-months-ten-days thing. I'm not sure about that, well at least for now. Hopefully it was just the food that I took the night before. But if I am fated to be *I don't want to mention the word*, I guess HE knows better and what's best for me.

I'm very anxious about tomorrow. It's my dental appointment! Everytime I see the dentist, I'll get butterfly in my stomach. I am sure I'm not alone. Hubby and Afrina will get to see the dentist too. It's kind of our weekend activities *LOL*. This kind of activity sure sucks! Afrina is going to be 6 years old soon, but all the teeth are still intact. Then why am I bringing to the dentist? It's because, her new tooth has grown. Even though all her baby teeth still in good condition, this new tooth just pop up. I find it weird. So I decided to bring her to dentist. But if the dentist decides to pull out her baby tooth, then I am in great trouble. Cause I promised Afrina the dentist just need to check. No pain involves. Hopefully all will turn out fine.

Today my menu is Laksa! Thanks to the Instant Gravy *grin*. Since its easily available in the market, why not give it a try. But my Laksa is more to a healthy version, less oil, less santan and less salt. It tasted just simply divine.

My father-in-law called up saying he's coming. He came up alone as he was from JB. He bought for us Murtabak from JB...yummy. I asked him to come in but he declined as he didn't want to be late for his Friday prayer. We chat for a while between my front gate, me inside and him outside. I still find it weird and uneasy to have long conversation with him. I don't know why. It's just that I don't know how to end the conversation. What kind of daughter-in-law is this? Well at least I can have Murtabak and Laksa today....

My tummy is playing some music....it's NUMB!

I have problems with the settings and alignment of my previous template. So for now, I'm happy with this one. And yes, no haloscan for me. Please feel free to give your comments and opinions at the tagboard. I'm sure it's big enough!

And listen to the music here...it's so soothing and calm (for this version of course). For those who does not have a speaker, here's the lyric of the song. Just sing it in your head.

NUMB

I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you

(Caught in the undertone just caught in the undertone)
And every second I waste is more than I can take

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I've become so tired so much more aware
I've becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you

I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Is everything what you want me to be


Enjoy......!!!

As the condition of my children still remain the same, I decided to get them to see another doctor yesterday. Hubby took sometime off from work to go with us. But luck was not on our side. The clinic was closed. I did not see the opening hours stated on the card in the first place. In the end, we just bought the cough syrup from the pharmacy nearby. Then we brought the kids to have some snack at McDonalds. Affandy loves to eat French fries; I saw that he ate quite a few. Well at least he took something to fill his stomach.

Even though Afiqah is still coughing, she never misses to enjoy her class. As I was sitting with her yesterday, she kept singing, "Ding Dong Bell, Ding Dong Bell". At first I could not get her song, but when she sang the whole song, even though the lyrics were not clear, she got the tune right. This is HER version of the song :-

Are you sleeping, are you sleeping
Ba de da, ba de da
Nying nying nying are nyining, nying nying nying are nyining
Ding Dong Bell, Ding Dong Bell!


Can you tell what song this is?

She is my 'pelat' little chubby girl. Even though she is the one who loves to test my patience most, I love her still the same. And she loves to put lots of powder on her face....
