We have special Doa for our beloved Kak Ikin yang nak undergoing some procedurs kat Pantai Hospital nanti..we love you kak ikin..see Tia ia praying for you,she put on songkok and says 'Allah kobat " (Allah HuAkbar).

Tia Said " Kak Ikin don't worry you'll be fine..you are brave just like our mama..you ll be like a brand new after that can bake yummy choco cakes for us"

Mia said " kak ikin,kak ikin..me doa for you too..don't be scared..hold my bam bam hand and you ll feel good ..i ll promise you..me sayang you"

Our new house is now undergoing painting works..all handrails,doors,door frames are being painted white..hmmmm..hopefully both girls can behave as white is not easy to maintain..be good ok girls.

The 2 engineers are checking the works done.." i think this gutter needs to be replaced..hmmm the stairs look big enough to play up and down,up and down..lets go and check the rest first..ok assistant come follow me"

Engineers taking rest...hmm we have a place to do barbeque..make sure you do it mama..we will help you..bring in the big table with bench so that we can dine here...

Engineers are tired..siap bawak bekal air..checking the laundry and wet kitchen area.."hmm not clean yet..can't really see the colour of the kitchen' s tiles..we think the butterfly and rabbit wall tiles at laundry area are nice...much nicer if you add small fountain there mama..so that we can mess it up while heni hang the clothes!"

"i like this batik dress kak ikin thank you..unfortuntely i can't sit like a lady..hmm i m an engineer right?..so its ok"

" Vrooomm..vroomm batik girl is here to rock the house..tepi..tepi..me nak lalu"

both girls sayang kak lului very much..semua benda nak buat dengan kak lului..pagi tu bila kak lului dah balik..both tercarik-carik...sedih..bila tak nak makan..mama said "kak lului said Tia pandai"..terus nak makan.

many things happenned this week..we hope for the best..semua berjalan lancar and may Allah Sbt bless us in whatever we are doing.

p/s..one cute thing..since Tia and Mia spent most of her time with uwan yang speaks N9's slang they can pick up one or two now..they can say ubek(ubat)..but the funniest was..yesterday Tia was trying to pull the sticker from the paper..she couldn't do it so she said "ishhh pek ni..(ishh tak dapek ni...) ..a complete sentence in N9 's slang..quite an achievement for a 20 months old baby!..ha...haaaaa...haaaaa..again darling "ishhhh pek ni".

A Place to hang pots and pans, a place to grow loves hands in hands.

this is not our house but one of the semi d houses not far from us, mama loves their white fences,tudor style house and lots of greenery.Monterez have two type of semi d only-the old one is this tudor style and the new one is our house which is more to mexican/mediteranean concept.

Our Alfresco dining area in the making- mama loves alfresco dining concept,trying to create one at our new house,we can have many activities here-we have big cobble stones stairs too.

mama loves this spanish tiles,mama used it as decorative tiles at our kitchen,wanted to create a provencal feel at the kitchen but difficult to find tiles with provence elements,so mama found these lovely mediteranean spanish tiles- mama quite happy with it.

ni papa tengah sibuk2 depan rumah,renovation tak habis lagi

mama dreaming inside the car while waiting for papa

Mama thanks papa so much for getting us this house. Interesting story to tell you how we ended up buying this house. It was like 3 years ago before both of you ada, mama and papa just moved to our new house in seri utama,kota damansara from papa's condo in kelana jaya. Mama thought we will settle down there, mama loves our house in seri utama,we have spent every single cents on renovation,on the kitchen cabinets etc..and mama is not the type of person suka nak pindah2..penat.At seri Utama masa tu we did most of the works our selves, mama masih remember it was fasting month, mama and papa bought grass from Sg buluh we tanam sendiri sampai habis and nearly pengsan2..mama planted all the flowers in the garden.Pendek cerita situlah our paradise,no other place..furthermore it is near to ikea,ikano,one utama..easy access to shopping:)

The story goes like this : one fine morning,mama merajauk besar with papa,couldn't remember the cause, as usual since only two of us mama selalu la merajuk jugak..so that particular morning was big, mama refused to go breakfast with papa but knowing papa memang suka paksa..so dia paksa jugak mama bersiap utk pergi breakfast..so half heartedly mama sarung track bottom lusuh with worn t shirt, he wanted to take us to one of mama's favourite place near nursery at sg buluh (why mama suka this place?dekat dengan tempat bunga kan..so boleh melencong there after that).But that morning the kedai was closed so papa settled for kedai mamak next to it..lagi lah mama bengang,tak berapa suka mamak..so we sit downed made our order and mama stilled refused to talk to papa..nak ambik hati mama,papa pun beli the STAR news paper,papa normally tak bagi mama beli STAR sebab kat rumah we langgan and NST and mama's office provides mama STAR newspaper..so everytime kedai papa selalu tak bagi mama beli STAR..salah satu sebab bergaduh jugak..but that morning dia beli la,nak pujuk mama.So papa jer la yang buat the talking that morning mama duduk diam..tengok STAR pun tak nak..jadi papa kenalah baca..so dia selak2 the pages then he said.." see here,they are selling semi d with free golf membership,nampak interesting la..we go see the place after this, not far from here"..mama just diam tak minat pun..mama fikir semi d mesti mahal,baru habiskan duit..dan papa selalunya everthing dia nak rancang always cakap kat mama cannot simply made decision..ni just because dia nampak rumah tu dalam golf course dia terbeliak mata..mentang2 dia gila golf..mama tak nak layan dia.

To cut story short..we pergi la jugak there..tengok the show unit..rupanya ada limited semi d jerr..14 units..the last semi d yang dia org buat..now they just selling bunglows/lots..yang tinggal masa tu pun 4 bijik jerr..tak banyak choice..that's why iklan pun kecik jer kat STAR..the house the complete masa.Tengok the show unit memang cantik la..yang buat mama attracted was the concept- the house bukan lah semi d yang besar sangat..standard size jer 45 X 85 but the best part dia split level- ada 4 levels..banyak nooks and corners- so the envoirenment is warm and cosy- ada resort feel..so mama suka..bila masuk at the first level ada living room jer..naik secondfloor kitchen with garden,guest and maid room,third floor masterbedroom and study room and fourth floor two bedrooms with family area..papa pulak paling suka the master bedroom yang boleh nampak padang golf.So masa tu tak la ada duit.tapi papa pulak terus cakap kat the girl yang jaga dia nak satu..masa tu jugak pilih2 the unit and decided on 114,the only unit left with extra land sikit (sikit jerr)..terus pergi admin office and papa paid the deposit..sampai budak yang jaga tu rasa macam papa main2.

Itulah rezki beli rumah masa duit tak der and dalam masa 1 jam..after that papa arranged the bank loan etc..ada lah jugak masa kita hampir nak jual rumah tu..because after sometimes kita tak buat apa pun..rumah sendiri dah ada..nak buat renovation pun tak der duit..lagi pun just mama and papa,mama stilled remember masa bawak maklang tengok maklang cakap.."banyak sangat bilik dan level ni zu,kau dua orang jer..puas kau berkejar dengan azam nanti"..Now you all dah ada..ada rezki di beri Allah sbt..so syukur..dapat mama papa melakar impian our new house. Moga impian kita diberkati dan dapat kita pindah kat sini.Thanks to our papa..he got a place for mama to hang pots and pans and for us to grow our loves hands in hands.

Yummy,juicy,crispy hot chicken wings

tonite we will have this

hari ni tak habis lagi cerita makan..kihh..kihh..dah berapa malam dah asyik menengok Asian Food Channel..so asyik teringin segala benda..so far dah masak chili crab, deep fried siakap with sweet sour sauce..dan hari ni nak makan chicken wings bersalut tepung rangup pulak..tak nak yang beli punya tapi yang buat sendiri..wings yang segar,tepung not so thick dan fried to golden brown..bila gigit..panas dan juicy..dip into home made chili sauce yang perah dengan lemon..aduss sedap bebenar nanti..hee.hee..

hari ni pergi beli macam2 la kat mall..memang tak pandai jimat mama ni..cakap jerr..memang kena baca kak ikin punya buku pasal "shophaholic" tu..mama boleh buat serious groceries shopping during lunch time..makan pun skip..hari ni one utama black out pulak..mama ada RM75 dalam purse dah guna beli bobbi brown lisptick Rm75 sebab cashier tu lambat benar nak process card..dah tu nak keluar duit ATM machine semua kong pulak..geram betul..mama jalan kehulur kehilir camana mission nak shopping ni..nasib baik kat hujung sekali tu RHB ATM ok..so berjaya..masuk Toy r Us ..bought small toys for you all,singgah Jusco bought baju kenits nak pakai hari2 dari barbie's collection yang sale..dah tu mama masuk supermarket..pikir apa nak masak malam ni..semua nak kena buat dalam masa 1 jam..so pergi section imported fish tu..kat situ ikan memang mahal tapi dia jual fish head and bone murah..sebab orang yang pergi section tu mostly go for fillet..so you can get big fish head for RM12 or 10 only..kalau kat section local tu timbang mesti dalam RM20..so dalam hati nak masak cilipadi with belimbing buluh for uwan, dah tu teringat la nak buat hot and crispy chicken wings tu..dah tu pikir lagi wahhh nak makan benda deep fried ni kena balance kan diet..tak boleh ambik yang heavy2 yang lain so mama pi beli sekilo beans sprout..hmm fry dengan olive oil crunchy2 nanti sedap..teringat olive oil dah tinggal sikit pergi pulak jengok..punya la lama membelek apa brand nak beli..sebab kena beli yang memang utk frying kalau tidak nanti no point spending money buying olive oil tapi tak dapat khasiat sebab virgij olive oil or the young one tak boleh dipanaskan tinggi2 heat dia, it will turn into bad oil. Dah beli olive oil teringat garlic dah habis,maid mintak glass cleaner dah habis..teringat lagi pisang dah habis jugak..pisang favourite fruit semua orang especially papa..semua benda nak makan dengan pisang especcially ice cream.. the kenits pulak everytime tengok flashcard gambar pisang terus mintak.

tak habis2 teringat..fikir jugak apa nak buat breakfast esok..rasa nak buat cucur udang la..so beli pulak daun kucai..nanti taruk udang,kucai,carrot,bawang besar dan kentang..sedappnya bila cicah dengan tartar dan chili sauce..sebenarnya kalau breakfast tu mama tukang masak jerr..tak pernah sempat nak makan..sebab pagi2 lagi mama dah rushing..siapkan breakfast semua orang,masak breakfast kenits, masak lauk lunch untuk kenit dan uwan..dah tu suapkan kenits breakfast jugak..the most mama sempat hanya minum mama punya favourite tea with lemon dah tu sambil belari naik tangga nak mandi sambar la seketul kueh..tu jer la

sebab tu kadang2 bila balik mama geram jugak dengan maid sebab tak pandai nak plan masa, balik normally mama masak or beli lauk dah siap..dia pulak masa tu la nak buat semua benda kat dapur..petang habis jer masak,hidangkan,mama curik2 masa nak makan..masa maid sembahyang mama jaga you all kejap..masa tu mama ambik makanan sikit taruk kat pinggan dan makan sambil tengok tv dengan you all..bila maid habis sembahyang mama pulak naik,mandi,sembahyang..bentang semua tilam kat lantai..susun buku2 kat atas tilam untuk you all..mama pun bawak you all naik dan bermula la adventure dalam bilik tidur pulak..macam tu la syang hidup kita penuh dengan activities.

so kenits and papa malam ni kita makan hot chicken wings ok.yumm..yummm

Nak makan kenyang-kenyang nak makan..tak pedulik nak makan jugak

papa we love you

papa cepat balik today..takut singa tu

hari ni mama busy..rushed to finish macam2 agreement..naik hangin jugak dengan stengah orang..ingat nak pi One utama to buy stickers for Tia tapi dah lambat hilang mood..so lunch time tapau naisk kat haslam cafe kat bawah..lauk gulai singgang ikan dan sayur keladi rebus..sedap jugak.

So duduk dalam bilik makan..layan cerita kat Tv jalan2 kat Europe..tengok si haliza misbun duduk dalam gondola kat venice..dia punya la teruja macam tak caya ada kat venice..nampak macam nak nangis. terus mama teringat cerita mama mula2 sampai kat venice..bukan perasan romantik timbul..sampai pukul 2 petang..mama lapar gilerr..nak makan..nak makan..nak makan..orang italy pulak malas tengah hari..tutup kedai balik rumah..pukul 6 baru bukak..so yang ada cafe jual cold sandwiches jerr..mama terus bad mood..nak makan-nak makan..nak makan..papa cakap..sabarlah nanti malam we go for proper dinner..tapi mama macam kena rasuk apa tah..marah2..nak makan,nak makan..dasat betulll..

masa tu duduk kat mainland kat maestre..hari hujan pulak..nak jenjalan jugak carik kedai makan..sampai jumpa satu supermarket..mama borong cokelat,smoke mackerel,fries,fried shrimp,bread,muffins,caramel..papa nak singgah tempat lain tengok2 barang pun mama tak nak..masuk hotel..makan tak satisfied jugak..marah2 lagi..nak makan,nak makan..teruk betul perangai mama masa tu..

Now mama pikir..kalau ada peluang lagi pi jenjalan macam tu..kena treasure setiap detik and masa..jangan hal2 kecik kacau the great moment..but papa was so nice..tak marah mama..dia sabar jerr..pujuk mama macam2..now papa kacau2 mama lagi bila sebut maestre..teringat dulu2..thanks papa..so good to mama.. love you papa..mama going back now..mama will cook you steam siakap with ginger and your favourite sup bayam ok..

Sweet girls for sweet mama..hee..heee..

Eeyyyyyy..both like to say when the see themselves in the mirror..my sweet and bucuk girls..sweet like who?sweet like mama la..he..hee..papa tak cweet papa encem..kihh..kihh lagi..bring your spirit to the highest level by giving your selves all the good words..haa..haaa..

The girls now buat macam-macam..they love to smile..mama was so happy lwith Tia last weekend when she brought mama the letter "D" dari flashcard..she asked mama to say it..so mama said "D"..she said "O",mama said "D..Dahhhh"...suddenly she said "Dog"..wahh so good anak mama.both would like to come with a book and asked mama to read..they can understand the story and pictures already,when you show something like "comb"..they will say "comb" and do the combing act, when you show "cap"..they immediately say "papa"..because papa yg selalu pakai cap bila main golf.Hopefully they will continue their interest in books.

Laugh, Giggle and Wiggle

Papa and the girls..sian papa so "tired" balik golf

We had a wonderful weekend depsite tha fact that we spent most of the time inside the house..why?..hmm on sunday evening our papa went to play golf far,far away at sandfields, kajang and we had to stay at home with mama...and know what he didn't bring back satay kajang la.

We had our usual Shichida Class on Saturday, Sunday morning papa and mama took us and uwan to Kelana Jaya Park, mama prepared macaroni with butter for us so we had our breakfast at home, mama,papa and uwan had breakfast at the cafe near the lake at kelana jaya. This time,the outing at the park was different, mama didn't bring us to the playground side but took us to the area where they have equipments for exercise..so we try la.

Monday, pakcik and makcik came for lunch at our house,banyak lauk pakcik bawak for uwan,gulai asam pedas terubuk, sup tulang, pajeri nenas and terung,gulai lemak fucuk with petola and all the ulams, mama pulak prepared gulai ikan masak lemak cilipadi with belimbing and asam keladi. After lunch we had fun with pakcik and makcik,we laugh,gigle and wiggle..so much fun..after that we were so tired and we slept through the whole evening.

Mama had visitors at 5.00pm..the contractor Alvin and his Mrs Irene came to our house and brought us honey mandarin,almond biscuit and peanut..wahh uncle Alvin wants to start a project at Kuala pilah,planting "special tree" this tree can help our envoirenment, if you plant a tree near your house you can get away all mosquitos,pest and you have healthy and pure oxygen..hmm sounds good to us..because we hate mosquitos. So uncle Alvin needs a land..uwan has unused land at kampung and she might be able to rent it out to uncle Alvin.Uwan going back kampung either this week or next week with pakcik its gonna be a day trip..she wants to check her house and do banking transaction..we heard uwan's montly pension dah naik la..wahh uwan can belanja us after this:)..but uwan always belanja us ..thank you uwan:)
