I'm starting afresh. Somehow the fall made me a stronger and wiser person.
As a good friend of mine said, "ALLAH won't test you beyond your strength".
My heartfelt appreciation for those who offered their shoulders for me to cry on, for those who gave me their listening ears and for those who were concerned about me. You know who you are. I know all of you care. THANK YOU....
I'm soaking wet after the fall into the sea. Give me time to dry myself up.
And thank you for a group of lovely friends who made me laugh yesterday.

....FALLEN.....
Can I face the day
When I'm tortured in my trust...
And watch it crystalize
While my salvation crumples to dust
Why can't I steer the ship
Before it hits the storm
I've fallen to the sea
But still I swim for shore......

BLOSSOM CAKES
Care to have some, anyone?
This is Blossom Cakes or Kuih Puteri Ayu (I don't see the connection, though).
My kids love to eat this kuih, so I decided to bake for them.
And I'm glad I did cause looking at them eating non-stop, it worth baking it!

CINDERELLA
I've touched down from cloud 9....*grins*
I have been so energetic these past few days. Don't ask me where I got all the energy from. Heh..heh...
I'm not sure how many of us scrub the kitchen floor. I really mean scrub, not just the usual mopping.
Like I said, besides the routine house chores, I felt so energetic that I scrubbed my kitchen floor.
I kneeled down on my knees and scrubbed vigorously...
Just like Cinderella in the fairy tales...but I think I did better than her.
I can still feel the satisfaction just by looking at my kitchen floor now.
It's so......clean.
Let's just see how long it can stays clean.

THE GREATEST LOVE OF ALL
No romantic candlelight dinner for two.
No strolling along the beach, holding hands.
But having Mutton Chop, Nasi Lemak and Kentang Ball at Haig Road Hawker Centre, was just superb.
With our 3 kids, of course.
And thank HUBBY for the lovely anniversary gifts.....
The most important, your love is the BEST gift of all....

SATURDAY NITE OUT
Life on Saturday was paradise, simply divine.....
I've got the chance to go back to sleep after Subuh, as the kids were still asleep. This was a very rare chance. Woke up at almost 10 o'clock when I knew all of them were awoke.
The whole family watched the 5-hour LOST marathon on AXN. As I had missed most of the episodes showed in Channel 5, this was the time to catch up. For 5 straight hours! In the meantime, we had these for lunch...
Who needs to cook when we could have these delivered right at our doorstep? But must pay for them lah... :)
After Maghrib, from north we drived all the way to the east and went to Bedok Jetty at East Coast. We leisurely walked and enjoyed the night view along the beach.
It was beautiful.....
We let the kids walked infront of us, me and Hubby held hands and took pleasure in the moment. It was a wonderful and splendid feelings. I could count the only few occasions that we could hold hands when the kids were with us. I missed spending time alone with Hubby....outside our own abode.
Dinner at Bedok Corner. The renovated the place just like Adam Road. The place was quite crowded at Saturday night, but we managed to get seats after waiting for a while.
The foods we ordered....
The kids enjoying their foods....
Afrina with Nasi Lemak...
Afiqah and Affandy gnawed on Satay...
Reached home about 11 pm.
What a Saturday........
Thank You Allah, for blessing me with a wonderful husband and three beautiful children to call my own. Thank you for the nikmat You have granted us so far. May we remain in Your path, always....

BAKE-ING TIME!!!
Finally, after two months of not turning-on my oven, yesterday was the die-die-must-bake-day. So, I baked another version of Chocolate Cup Cakes. The rainbow rice was sprinkled by Afrina, my baking assistant.
The other two kids are the 'tukang ngap'.
And last night, I got the chance to romos this chubby baby!
But 5-minutes of romosing was not enough for me. I should meet him more often since we stay soooo near. Right UmmiZa?

I FOUND THEM!!!
Alhamdullillah....I found the cards!!
They were hidden behind the shoe basket under the bench.
I had no intention look for them. I just wanted to arranged the old newspapers under the bench, and to re-arrange the shoes in the basket. When I pulled out the basket, there it were!!!
Why on earth Affandy hid the cards there? I'm still wondering....
So now, no more heavy coin pouch. Buses and MRTs, here I come!!! Yahooo......!
Since yesterday was a school holiday, I brought the kids to the library in the afternoon. I thought of doing some shopping at Causeway Point, but the kids just could not resist the big letter 'M'. They just had their lunch, still wanted to have snack at that restaurant!
My stomach was full at the moment, so I thought they were full too. But I was wrong. They finished two chocolate sundaes, large fries and large iced milo. Once a while I sipped the drink, and watched my kids.
My heart melts just watching them. I swear I could cry at that time. This was the moment where there were no bickering and quarelling. They just chatted and laughed at their silly jokes, with their mouths full of sundaes and fries.
How I wish they were like this every day at home... If only there's a McDonald's in my house. I'm sure there will be peace and love always between them....
Stop dreaming Ummi!!! Wake up!!
Two kids here had not have their baths yet. The laundry is waiting to be washed and there are clothes to be ironed. And start thinking what's to cook today!!!
*Sigh*

BOWL-ING
I had great time, great company on Saturday night. Met up with Baby HD and Ramblerine at Bukit Panjang Plaza to have our bowling game.
We "cheered" for one another when our balls went to the drain. Despite the score, its the laughter and fun that counts. If only the rest of the KO Gang were there....
The Bowlers
Thank you for the company, girls. We should play again. Next time, we must take three separate lanes, for us, the Hubbies and the kids, so we can focus more on the games and score more strikes. Huh..huh..

WHERE CAN IT BE??
The ezlink cards still cannot be found. Hubby and I have searched the entire house.
It's like a mystery to us. Where can a 2-years-old boy hide these two cards? I'm sure they're still in the house. I don't think he threw it out to the window.
*Sigh* In the meantime, I have to carry a lot of coins in order for us to travel by bus or MRT.
I am very excited about finding the courage to travel on public transports with my kids, now the ezlink cards are gone.
Affandy is now forbidden to hold any cards!
And yes, I love pink, I love pink, I love pink. And I love pink template. Heh..heh.
