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.

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.
