13 going 30

1st December 2010… it was Nasreen’s 13th birthday. Happy birthday Mama’s lil girl…. Although I know she will delete that ‘lil’ title if she reads this .. hehehe

I ordered a box of chocolates and 2 cute, little soft toys to be delivered to her yesterday… I shall spare you the story of me getting that NOEL Hampers to deliver the package to her at home.


My last words to the customer service were …. “this is my first time and it’s going to be my last time ordering from you”… I normally used ESKA but yesterday I was so ‘cerdik’ and changed to NOEL for no apparent reasons.. and see lah what I got. After so much hassle, the box was finally delivered around 9.00pm… and I was already home…. BIG sigh!

Anyway, we had a very small celebration at home. .

Bought a box of Wondermilk cupcakes – I SUPERlike the shop btw…. I wish I own a cafe exactly like that ONE day. I wanted to eat cupcakes, hence I didn’t bake myself because I don’t really eat my own cake and I was pretty sure the kids had enough of my cakes already. I dropped by the shop on my way back from office. Grabbed a box and headed straight home. Nik was stuck in a meeting, and I kept calling him to come back early.

I made meatloaf for dinner and we waited for Nik to come home while my meatloaf was in the oven.



Just a simple celebration and Nasreen was surprised to receive her gift from us….. yes, Mama went around all over One Utama to hunt for this thing and kaki Mama (and also Aunty Maz’s and Aunty Balkish’s) were so lenguh and we all ended up having A&W for lunch (after a BIG breakfast that morning)… aiyohh I thought we all should be on diet???



To Nasreen… you turned 13 yesterday…. And sometimes I feel like you are still 3 hee hee… anyway, there’s a looong way for you to go and this is just the beginning of your wonderful life. Enjoy every bit of it and always know that Mama & Papa love you.

Hmmm… I know that meatloaf makes you drool right…. So let’s see how it was made….


½ - 1 kg minced meat (top side, if possible)

1 cup breadcrumb

1 cup fresh milk

1 egg

Salt, to taste

Ground black pepper, 1-2 tsp, depending on personal preference

1 tsp mustard (powder form)

1 tsp garlic powder

Finely chopped parsley (optional)

1-2 tbsp BBQ or tomato sauce

Mix all ingredients until well blended and pour into a baking dish.


Pour ¼ cup of BBQ or tomato on top on the mixture and bake for 45mins – 1hr. For the last 10mins of baking time, use only the top grill to bake and put on high (approx. 170 – 180 degrees) to ensure the sauce dries up.

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). ...

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 ...

Angels - Mission Possible...!?

Last week was a week full of excitement for me. One, because I was busy with my work, so the week went by faster than usual…. (meaning: less time spent on ‘termenung’ & missing my husband); Two, my hubby dearest was scheduled to arrive on Friday night (3rd March 2006), the more reason for me be thrilled and eager counting the days; Three, me and the rest of March Angels ( Leilanie & T. Ina ) planned to meet up on Friday (3rd March 2006, also) to celebrate our birthdays and Leilanie had this fantastic idea of challenging ourselves to find gifts for the birthday mommies (and the gifts must cost less than 10 bucks each!) – and Leilanie, I must tell you that this challenge really made me sweat all afternoon on Thursday….. hehehe …and Four, me & my husband (and also the children) planned for a weekend getaway to Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa on 4th & 5th March 2006. There I said it…..nothing much to say about point One & Two…. but point Three and Four…..definitely!!!...
