I wish I can write and eloborate more about the event on Friday.
But I can't....I simply can't.
The event was full of happenings and filled with soooo much fun, and I have no exact word to describe it. What I knew was that, I had a wonderful, fantastic, magnificent, excellent, terrific, cool, groovy, awesome, overwhelming, astounding, amazing, remarkable, tremendous, splendid, breathtaking, marvelous, spectacular and last but not least, crazy time with all the glamour mommies!
Did I just describe the event?
Let the pictures tell you about it more.....

GIVE WAY TO THE DIVA!!!
Tomorrow is THE DAY......
Where I can have some time called MY OWN - even though only for a few hours.
Where I can have real FUN with some great friends and some which I have not meet yet.
Hubby has promised to take half day leave tomorrow, so that -
I can do the 'make-over' to become the DIVA! Heh..heh...
I have faith in Hubby to take over my role as a MAH-DER, only for a few hours. Except, of course, he cannot nurse Affandy. He do not have that privilege :-). But I am confident that he can handle our kids well, without ME, only for a few hours.......
Please please please......let me have some FUN.

MOMMIES' MEET-UP PART 1
Met up with Lizanoor and Pol on last Tuesday. We had our dinner at Vista Point Banquet.
This time, we brought our Hubbies along, which seems they have so much things to talked about, especially on the topic "fishing". Their pet pot pet pot was worse than the wives until we had to signal to them. It was close to 10 pm and we need to hurry back to watch CSI.
And, I got to romos little botak Amir Mukhtar! He is really the clone of his Abah, he looks 100% like him, especially their botaks! Sorry UmmiZa, next child can follow your look hor...!
And to the couple of the year, Mr & Mrs Fisherman, next time your kids must tag along! Jangan nak mengepit aje... Heh heh....

ALHAMDULILLAH
ALHAMDULILLAH...ALHAMDULILLAH...ALHAMDULILLAH
Afrina got a place at the primary school of our choice.
I did not attend to witness the ballot at the school. Hubby went alone after work.
The ballot started at 5.00 pm, I waited anxiously for him to call me. The call did not come till 1 hour later.
He called to say Afrina's name has not been called up yet. And only 15 vacancies left! I almost wanted to cry at that moment....
Then suddenly Hubby said out loud, "ALHAMDULILLAH!" Afrina's name just being called at the last 13th place. Phew....
I was much more excited than my girl. Don't ask me why... Heh heh...
************************************
And thank you Pol for the Ikan Duri. She was kind enough to deliver to my house yesterday.
Wow! This Sista really dress to kill. The title Datin really suits her. Her dressing to work is like my dressing to wedding invitations or Hari Raya. She already dress elegantly for her daily work to office. I wonder how she dresses for jemputans and Hari Raya. Must be much more stylish and glamorous. Steadylah Pol! No wonder "your handsome fisherman" lup lup you so much!

A MAH-DER's RANT
What did the family do on National Day?
They dressed up in RED and WHITE, and they went SHOPPING!!!
Yes, they went shopping at John Little Sale at Expo Hall 5. Yesterday was the last day, though.
But this time round, the shopping was for the fah-der and the doh-ters.
The son and the mah-der got NOTHING!!
The doh-ters got new swimming suits and some clothing, and the fah-der got new shirts.
The son and the mah-der got NOTHING!!
Of course the mah-der looked around to get something for the son, but nothing caught her eyes. So, nothing for the son.
The mah-der also looked around for her things, but she caught too many things for her likings.
She wanted the handbags, shoes, blouses, long skirts, brooches, bedsheets etc.
But something stopped her...she feared if the fah-der bombards her with lots and lots of questions and comments.
It's not that the fah-der is stingy or something, the mah-der is positively sure that the fah-der will pay for them, even with those questions and comments.
But maybe this mah-der feels guilty of buying those things, as she has tons of them at home. You cannot blame the mah-der what. As the mah-der is a woman, and a woman loves shopping, so it's natural that the mah-der wants to buy new things.
So the guilt feeling stopped her from buying the things that caught her eyes.
Now the mah-der feels angry for feeling guilty for not buying ANYTHING for her at the sales!
The mah-der deserves something for herself right? Her job as a mah-der is so darn TOUGH that no fah-der can beat. So why can't the mah-der grab whatever she wants, treat it as a monthly bonus, and think about the consequences later?
*Sigh* An obtuse of a MAH-DER...

EAR BLEEDING
Last Saturday, Hubby and I were watching the final 5 episodes of LOST.
Both of us were sitting at the living room, while our kids were sitting behind us. Occasionally, we would turn back to see that they were doing.
Then the 3 kids became very quiet. I was thinking that they might be watching the TV as well. While we were engrossed watching the TV, suddenly Afiqah was shrieking very loudly. She cried in pain!!
There was blood coming out from her left ear.
Without our knowledge, Afrina took some tiny cotton buds and was trying to dig her sister's ear, just like what we normally do to them. But Afrina could not estimate the depth of the ear, so she kept on poking it.
Of course, she got scolding from the Abah, and she was earnestly sorry for what she had done.
As the bleeding stop after a while, we thought it was just a small wound. So we just cleaned the blood.
But yesterday and this morning, the bleeding started again. I brought her to see a doctor this morning. The doctor said, her ear drum seems to be in good shape, but her ear canal is badly wounded. That is why it keeps bleeding.
She was prescribed with a ear drop and a syrup for the pain. I was advised not the touch the interior of her ear, so that the wound can dry up fast.
I was worried that it affected her ear drum, so I purposely called her name from the left. So far she could hear me. Hopefully she will recover soon.

ANXIOUS
I am feeling very anxious now.
I have registered Afrina for her Primary One class in one school near our house. The vacancy is only 103, but the students registered are almost 200. So, we have to visit the school again this Thursday for balloting session.
I was told by the school's staff that we stay within 1 km from the school. But still we have to wait till Thursday to know the result.
I really hope that Afrina can get a place in that school.

APPRECIATION
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*
