Happy Birthday Nasreen & Naqeeb

Yesterday (24 Dec 2005) was Naqeeb’s birthday, but the celebration was held last week because:
  1. Nasreen’s birthday was on 1st Dec so we thought we could do some cost-cutting by doing 2 celebrations in 1;
  2. Nik was in town last week for a week or so, and that was the best time to do the birthday party; and
  3. This week will be the Christmas week with an extra day-off, which falls on Monday (26 Dec 05 – hey, it’s pay time!!!!) so most people will not be in town or if they do, they must be busy with their families as the weekend is longer.

So, the birthday was set on Sunday, 18 December 2005 @ 5.30pm. It was held at McD Sect 3, Shah Alam and we invited some closed friends and relatives. It was just a small party and the kids really enjoyed themselves. I made 2 large cakes, i.e. a carrot cake with cheese topping and ‘Spongebob’ on top for Naqeeb and a moist chocolate cake for Nasreen.

I thought the kids must be really excited but it turned out that my excitement outweighs theirs (heehehee) – the cakes were prepared one day ahead and the icing was done on Sunday morning. I was so busy with the preparation that at one point, I felt like I was preparing a wedding ceremony for my child …. Hahahah! Macam mak pengantin....

That day, I wasn’t feeling well and I still had my fever. Towards evening, I was losing my voice already….. of all the days that I was sick, my voice chose to take a day off right on the day of my children’s birthday party. Great! My throat felt like I had thousands of small needles pricking through it and the worst part is I sounded like a duck… Donald Duck, precisely! But the party went well. Some of my high school friends turned up and it was like a small gathering for all of us, the mommies.

Mommies chatting away.... reminicsing the good ol' times

To those who took some time off and came to the party, thank you from all of us for making it happened. To those who couldn't make it...well, there's always another time. To my children..... happy birthday! ..... how time flies so fast! Felt like it was just yesterday they took their first steps forward...

Hugs and kisses from MAMA.

Hi Zura,
Birthdays at McDs (and the likes) remind me of those days when Emil had his.
Now that he's all grown up, he asks for day-outs with his friends (on my account!).

Anyway, these are the best times of your life.
Cherish it and capture every moment. Once they're grown up, there's a whole set of excitement and amazement to keep tab of.

P/s :
Syok reminisce over our hairstyle, trends and all those silly things we did when we were in high school.

I am busy, I'm confused!

I have been very quiet this week.. no updates, no hopping around leaving any trail of my existence, probably due to the following reasons: 1. Nasreen will be having her exam next week, so I’m busy reviewing her syllabus (and also nagging to make sure she prepares herself). Yes, instead of her reviewing her books, the responsibility – by default – is shifted to me…. Hmm, mothers nowadays. We feel the pressure more than our kids (and we panic even more while waiting for the results to come out). Hehehe. I can’t remember my mother even touched my textbooks when I was in Primary 3. No wonder we grow old faster these days…. 2. I’m having mood swings this week. One day, I feel elated, then mellow on the next day, moody on the following day. Work is adding on my desk, scope is being expanded, news is floating around and remarks are beings smacked everywhere (manage to steer clear of some and the rest sometimes just landed right on my very lap). Don’t you hate it when you are so positive that ...

Yes, I’ve been blessed with a lot of wonderful people around me….. yes friends, you! Read on…. Yesterday, around 6.15pm, I was in the middle of reviewing something when I was called for a meeting with one of big bosses here…. And I was thinking in anger, ‘Great! It’s 6.30pm and they want to have a meeting. Don’t they have families to run back home to????” So I got up from my chair and ran down to one of the meeting rooms in Level 5. I peeped through the small glass and the room was dark and empty. They were not even they yet! Heck! But when I pushed open the door, suddenly I heard people screaming and laughing and shouting, “Happy Birthday To You!!!!” and everyone was holding a candle in their hand. Gosh! My colleagues planned a Birthday Party for me. No wonder the department was empty when I left and I didn’t even notice. I was speechless! I was asked to blow the candles that they were holding and those on the cake (oh! The cake was so yummylicious!) I was so touched. Everybody was th...

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
