Girl or Boy?

When we met new people, they always guess that Baby is a boy..Some people said that we might have really wish for a boy that she looks like a boy. Now, with her being so active, well.. she almost behaves like a boy..:-) Memanjat everywhere.. even when I was lying on the sofa, she'd climb over me just to grab a phone or have a look outside thru the window. If she's left on her own in our room, she'd make a mess in our wardrobe! If we let her near a bookcase, there must be books & magazines strewn all over the floor afterwards..Sigh..Penat weh dgn princess sorang ni..But, we definitely didn't really wish for a boy when I was pregnant with her. In fact, Hubby said another girl would be nice..:-) Yelah.. seriau dia tgk boys yang lasak2..haha.. No offense to anyone. Perhaps we might get a boy for our 4th kid..:D

Baby boy? Of course not!

On another topic, the princesses would be left behind in a few days time coz Mama & Papa are going for a much needed break. We are staying with some friends since they insisted ( Betul ke ni??..hehe..) that we stayed with them. It's good to have friends all over the places. Kalau holiday, boleh le ada orang jadi tourist guide..:-). This is the first time that Baby is going to be left behind for a few days. Last year we left Alysa & Adik for a few days when we went for a holiday. Kalau cuti2 kat Malaysia ni of course la diaorang ikut. But overseas ni susah sikit bawak small kids. With travelling & food hazards..seriau le pulak..

Muka2 nak kena tinggal..hua..

The past week ni memang malas giler nak masak! Just prepare simple lunches..Since we are not fussy with our food, something filling is enough for us. Sometimes, I just made roasted chicken or mutton steak. So, simple...Desserts lagilah malas. But yesterday terajin le pulak wat Banana Cake which I've done before. CMG's recipe..

Banana Cake

Last week we attended Hazeem, our neighbour's 5th Birthday. The theme was of course Ben 10. Even Alysa loves Ben 10 now. She's glued to the TV if Ben 10 is on air. Luckily we picked Hazeem's gift which was Ben 10 related stuff. Unfortunately, the princesses didn't get to mingle around coz there was a clown..and they are scared of clowns! So, they were stuck by my sides..

A visit from dear friends

Last nite we had a visit from my ex-housemate at Terrace Road, Perth, Fina & her hubby Andy. It's been 13 years since we last met. Punya le lama! Got to know she's in Penang thru FB. Good thing that we have FB these days..:-) They're on holiday + mc after Andy had an operation recently. They are off to Riyadh where they're residing in a few weeks time. It's soo good to see them again after all these years. It was like the good old days last nite. The same animated conversation & lotsa laughs..Guys, hope to see u all again in the future..may be in Johor or Riyadh..:)

Muka2 happy..senyum sampai telinga.. :-D

Adalia's Birthday @ Bukit Merah Lake Town

As planned , last saturday we went to BMLR for Baby's birthday.There were 6 families who turned up. Tapi rasanya silap timing la pulak! The MARA officers from all over Malaysia were having a family day there at the same time. So, nak check- in pun lambat, nak cari parking pun susah. We managed to get our rooms at 4.30pm. Petang malas nak beraktiviti. Lepak2 je.. Nak ke swiming pool pun hujan! Nak ke resort pun dah selalu sangat ke sana, it's the same old stuff.. layan jelah the princesses kat bilik..

Birthday girl b4 the party..

Grr..when's my party?

That nite around 8pm we gathered at our room for Baby's birthday. Just a simple get together. Food pulak..pot luck. I made the birthday cake of course.. & tuna pasta ( Alysa's fav which she finished 3 bowls that nite ). As a host, we prepared the plates, junk food & fruit. We have plenty of food. Ila brought meehoon goreng; K.Jun brought pulut kuning, chicken curry & agar2. Mak pulak bawak ketupat, rendang daging & pulut bata. Mak Yang bawak mee goreng. Mak Kechik brought ketupat pulut hitam, serunding ikan bilis , nasi & lauk kenduri. Food banyak tak habis..Yang habis my Bluberry Cheese Cake..:-) Semua terkam cake dulu.. Makan dessert dulu baru makan main dish. Tu yang food byk tak habis.. Thanks to all yang sanggup datang memeriahkan majlis my sweet little princess.

The next day, pagi2 lagi semua dah ke swimming pool for mandi-manda..Alysa memula tanak mandi. Ada sikit2 phobia dia tu. By 10.30am lepas pujuk2 baru dia nak mandi. Tupun tak mau pakai baju. Nak pakai underwear je..Dah le bulat..:D. ( Hubby tak suka le anak dia sexy ni, so lps ni kena le beli swim suit! ) Lepas dah syok mandi & hilang phobia dia tu, tak nak naik le pulak. Sampai 12pm baru keluar swimming pool..

Look at Baby's eyes..Luka terkena bucu katil. Cian..Happy sesangat berguling2 tengah2 malam..

Sexy Girl & Sexy Boy a.k.a Amin..

Alysa has finally overcome her fear of swimming..yeay!

Happy 1st Birthday Baby

Happy 1st Birthday my dear Baby. Hope u have many happy years ahead of you. Mama, Papa, Kakak & Kak Ngah will always love u forever & will always be there for u. Hope u grow up to be such a wonderful person & May Allah bless u always.

Tepuk Amai Amai

Tomorrow is my cheeky Baby's 1st birthday. We're not gonna celebrate tomorrow but the day after at Bukit Merah Laketown Resort. So, we've booked enough rooms for everybody who's confirmed to go.

Unlike Alysa's & Ayra's 1st birthday, this is gonna be a low-keyed celebration. But hopefully a memorable one. Not to her of course but to us..:D. I haven't decided on the menu yet. May be just light & easy as it's supposed to be for dinner. As for cake, i decided to make blueberry cheesecake a requeast by hubby ( teringat2 K.Ana's blueberry cheesecake..yumyum..) for the event & kalau rajin may be another pound cake. So, we'll see what is it gonna be..Hmm..

Nearing her 1st birthday Baby has turned so cheeky. She has learned so many new stuff eg when we sang 'tepuk amai-amai', she'd immediately clap her hands merrily while babbling her current fav " ta...ta..ta..ta..". When she got her tiny hands on a whistle, she'd put it in her mouth & tried to whistle. Of course not the sound of the whistle that we hear, but the sound of her voice mimicking the whistle's sound. She definitely couldn't see a handphone, or else we'll see her put it to her ear as in conversation. Another of her actic is she'd put a hijab on her head if she could find one. There are so many things that she learned in these short months which are amazing. But, of course she still cannot walk yet..Well, may be after her 1st birthday..:-)

Tepuk Amai Amai

Phewitt...

A couple days ago we got very nice & yummy cheese cakes from K.Ana. Not 1 but 3! All were delicious. Alysa loved the one with swirl on top. Hubby & I loved the blueberry cheese cake. So soft & melt in your mouth type. TQ so much K.Ana.. Sesapa kat North ni berminat nak belajar nak buat cakes & cake decorating, silalah ke sini. Ni sneak preview of what you'll learn in her classes..
