Never been this far....

It's a size of my palm..

I already checked the Prayer times for Bangkok,

Subuh: 5.26am Syuruk: 6.36am Zohor: 12.31pm Asar: 3.52pm Margrib: 6.52pm Isyak: 7.32pm I'm glad that i bought a set telekung for travel purpose and based on the picture above, you can see how small it is, right...a space saver for your luggage! Most likely i'll be doing solat Qasar dan Jamak...which i always practise when i'm away. Solat Qasar ialah untuk orang yg dlm perjalanan, dibolehkan memendekkan solat wajib yg empat rakaat menjadi dua rakaat. Solat Jamak ialah dua solat yg dikumpulkan di dlm satu waktu misalnya Zohor dgn Asar dan Maghrib dgn Isyak.

Majlis Khatam Al-quran

My first attempt making Pulut Kuning..Topped it with egg omelette.

Rendang Ayam on the peak of everything. I made 30 packets of this and luckily Dh was around last Friday to help me carrying all the stuff.oh boy..it was so heavy..

The majlis was a joyous one with 20+ people including my mum around to witness and i tried to keep myself steady because i'm a person who will get nervous easily with so many people focusing on me...haha
But alhamdullilah everything went smoothly and on the same day i received news that kamisah had given birth to a healthy baby boy (3.09kg)..A good beroqah day for all.

My plan for our family trip.

i feel that it has been ages since i last blog...well, it does feels like that way for me...
Dh was in afternoon shift today so i have the whole day almost to myself as long i get the kids fed, clean and their homework done..i can get the rest of the time to myself...at least i tried to.

Just to let you all know that i'm a LITTLE organise freek because i like to plan properly before i do anything....
First of all, i've already made my own notes in my organiser book about the place/shopping/night market places that i'm intend to visit and also about halal dining places because i don't like to waste time researching only when i'm there....
I even checked the Bangkok's weather because i need to know whether i need to bring umbrella or not and so far the weather prediction is between 34c to 23c (scattered clouds-stated in the website which maybe in my interpretation, it means partly cloudy, i guess)..anyway i'm glad that the weather prediction seems lovely...not too hot...not too cold just the way i like it but of course this is just the prediction...sesungguh Allah yg menentu segalanya..

I only bring 1 jeans (excluding the pants i'll be wearing that day) and only 2 tops because i'll be buying clothes so i rather save spaces for other stuffs..ahakz...just talking about it already made my heart racing and excited .....

This is my plan of my 4days/3nights bangkok trip

Day1 (Friday)
will be visiting Platinum Fashion Mall, Pratunam complex, Central World, Pantip plaza, Gaysorn Plaza..

Day2(Saturday)
Chatuchak market, mbk, Siam paragon/Centre/Discovery
(might try to visit the Siam Ocean world)

Day3 (Sunday)
Dreamworld
Hope that we won't be running out of cash by the Day 3...lol

Day 4 (monday)
will be doing a last minute shopping if needed before heading to Airport...

This is what i've planned (hubby shake legs only huh...)hehehe...Having a plan is like winning half the battle...

Ps: Tomorrow we will be doing mini shopping and exchanged currency for the trip and Dh promised to bring me to Secret recipe tomorrow for lunch to indulge on my favourite cakes...cheesecake and chocolate indulgence. Yipeee!!!!

Stuff they do and they like

Today i assume that the kids will learn how to make Tuna sandwiches based on the list that the teacher gave us last week to bring Tuna(plain) and 4 slices of cheese. School is so much fun nowadays....

Right now, my kids are really into singing the Alif Ba Ta song and both of them keep asking me when is the next ngaji class...is it in 3 more days...or in 2 more days...things like that....hhmm really glad that they really enjoyed it....

Sarpino's home delivery

Double pepperoni pizza
Can't remember the name of this one-except it has chicken topping.

Honey chicken...i regret ordering this...the taste is how they look like...Sooo normal...and unappetising.

The beef lasagna....haiz...a little dissapointing too..it didn't contain any white sauce in it.

Overall i would say that next time i feel like ordering pizza and other stuff, i would order it from Pizza Hut ...the one that never dissapoints me...If i wanted to order pizza only, then Sarpino's would be alright but the side dishes were horrible in my opinion and it doesn't worth the money.

I remembered i bought a single slice of Sarpino's pizza from the Suntec City for takeaway and Dh and i were blown away by it's taste but the pizza that we ordered for home delivery cannot compete that....I think i would stick to Pizza Hut when comes to home delivery.

We all have good legs to walk.

Last week, as usual we bought Bandung drink to be shared by 4 of us while walking our way home from Mrt. So while walking, Aniq asked his father this, " Ayah, ada money...beli Car!"
Then his Ayah told him, " Car.... ayah takde...tapi Carki (kaki) ada...now JLN!! hahaha.........

Having a car of course will be so much convenient but i love love love walking.....maybe i like to count that as part of my exercise and healthy lifestyle since i don't jog now.....Dh always wanted to get a car but i am a little reserved about that because i rather have more money on hand to enjoy since our flat is not that far from MRT....Well, that's just my thoughts for now.....

What makes me simmers?

When i got mad/stress/ or depressed, i would try to cope by ............

1) taking wudhu and solat

2) just randomly choose a new recipe and starts cooking or baking

3) watching my favourite movie or rent a new movie

4) solving sudoku (this really works especially when i kept picturing a 'hated' person in my mind and focusing on numbers really diverts that)

5) eating either chocolate(my no.1 comfort food) or potato chips and it instantly makes me feel better.

6) buy any new magazine to read.

7) window shopping or buy something that makes me happy (no need to be expensive stuff)

8) blogging about my feelings and if i feel bad about it...i would erase it the next day but after pouring it out once, i felt better. Or even better, write about in my private diary.

9) trying to stay positive and remember everything happens for a reason and remind myself that i'm not the only person having problems.

10) even if i'm powerless to change the situation, i'll remind myself that i'm responsible of my reaction on how to respond to it.

Easier said than done? Then you can go ahead run like a mad woman, screaming and kicking till someone calls the police......lol.....
After we all just human, rite....hahahaha (just kidding).

My spring collection 2010.

This is Aliah's dress that i made for her for spring (haha like real...bunyi mcm mana punyer designer je..lol). Actually Dh picked out the fabric..because i am never good with floral stuff..Newsflash: i'm a plain jane type of girl but headstrong.

It took me about 4-5 days to put this together and Aliah already wore it on Saturday for the ceramah that we attended at Darul Makmur.

This is just random stuff........

Lately I've been craving for long floral dress because i just noticed that i don't have a single dress in my wardrobe ...YIKES! And as much i claimed that i love pink ...i also just realised that i don't own any pink blouse...WHAT"S GOING ON??

I have to make sure that i will shop better and smarter in Bangkok and shop like no other....

woohoo!

Our last weekends.

Trained Aniq to be our photograher so Dh and i can have more pictures together. And it turned out not bad at all. He gained more confidence compared the last time.

Aliah wore this brown/bronze hairband for the first time after i bought it recently and it looked great on her!

Stike a manja pose!



After our meal at Arnold's, we ordered ice kacang which has a scoop if ice-cream on the peak.
It's ok overall except the ice was a little more coarse and grainy compared the usual one.

I didn't know that Tanjong Katon complex would put up a chinese new year theme decoration just right outside their mall .

Practise makes perfect

I had just finished making Aliah a simple pant suit which meant for her ngaji class on this coming Saturday since she doesn't has many muslimah clothing. Well i can't help it when i see so many girls her age wearing cute muslimah outfit. And this will be a practise for my sewing skill before making Hari Raya clothes for this year...I will post the picture of the suit this Saturday.

Yesterday, i went to a movie date with Dh after sending the kids to school...Since we only have 4hr, we went to the nearest Eng wah one since we still have credits left in the movie card (which i don't really recomend to anyone because i don't like Eng wah's system and don't get me started). I don't really intend to watch 'Santau' at first but it was the only show that started the earliest. So we watched it for 1hr plus and i was surprised that the movie was quite good actually. But after that, Dh and i were wondering whether is there really such a person who is so sore and so evil that he would actually use blackmagic just to feel satisfied...Come on...GET A LIFE!! I really hope that there is no such a person like that and not to mention 'syirik'...Astargfirullah...iihsk iihsk iishk......

Roti Boyan

Once a while, i would crave for this ....the difference i made which taught by my mum is we don't deep fry the Roti Boyan but only to fry it with minimal usage of oil. But it could be deep fry too if i want it to be ....just choosing the healthier version to enjoy my meal.
