This year indeed is a year for my mom to 'kumpul' cucus.

Cousins look alike, newborn Amsyar (2012) vs Kawsar (2016) :)

Happy Teacher's Day 2016!

Just some simple gestures for Iman's and Amsyar's teachers this year. A day before teacher's day was their report card day, and alhmdulillah both did well :) Iman had an average of 96% and Amsyar got 99.7%, and alhmdulillah both had already covered reading skills in Malay, English and arabic. Amsyar lah yg mommy plg gembira sb he had done it at 3 and half years old. Really thank you teachers! :)

Nothing comparable can really pay all of you! 

Also goes to my teachers.

In school.

In matrics.

In university.

And all my life lesson teachers in the working world :)

My mother and father.

Selamat Hari Guru 2016

Belated by few days :)

Mother's Day 2016 - Oh this is why May is so wonderful!

The perks of being a mom! :)

This year i got flowers from my boysss...

Awwww..kisses for both of you. May you grow up to be as sweet as you are now to the ones you love :) Well, no girlfriends until 30 ok boys ?!

Our day : For mother's day just chilling out at home. I let them mess the house while mommy finishes 1 novel with a cuppa latte :)

And later that night, just a mother's day dinner at Polperro Shah Alam. Nice choice daddy! Thanks for the treat!

Happy Belated Engagement Anniversary dear hubby (ada jugak ye?).

Thank you for everything you have done all these 4years. 

A loving father, yang suka kemas rumah, tak kesah sidai baju, rajin lipat kain, the handyman around the house and suka mandikan anak anak :) tak kesah lah suka komplen bini masak tak sedap..hehehe

I love you.

Not much changed except for daddy was a size S (UK) back then. Now size L :p

Flying kites at Setia City Mall..and the weekends

Assalamualaikum wbt

Hello Tuesday!

Tuesday already. Okay lah. Can i start Tuesday Tots next week? :p

Hehehe

It is really hot these days.
So hot even my lipstick melted being kept in my handbag in the house.
And our house, being the end-lot is directly facing the sun in the evenings, its like the oven to be in on sunny days.

I had some issues on Saturday, and hubby asked me to let it go.
Now i feel like im the lioness in the house these days. And he's the cooler spouse.
Well.

Harry potter's scar look this wkend. Kena ckr dgn kwn

I just wanted some fresh air, some window shopping, some good food and most importantly a place were the kids will be happy. The later criteria is now one of the priority, yes. Hubby wanted to check out the new sky park in one city USJ but i was scared for accidents as we have to active kids here. So we headed off to Setia City Mall instead. Hehehe..favorite spot now i can tell you..hahaha.

One thing i like about setia city mall is that it is less crowded and have most of what i wanted in a mall. Well, i just wanted the basics. Baby room, nice restaurants, a bookstore, a playground, and ample parking space..hehehe.typical mommy wants kan?? :)


The only thing we didnt know before is that, people play kites and giant bubbles in the grass dataran in front of Setia City mall. What a bummer we didnt bring our bikes. Just like dataran putrajaya only the grass was nicer to sit down on a beautiful evening :)

So we bought a kite.
An aeroplane kite this time.hehehe..and flew the kite.

Okay, its more to daddy flies the kite and we watched :p
Bersungguh daddy..hehehe..

Alhamdulillah such a lovely green park.
Definitely a nice place to come again :)

Geram dgn bdk ni..dah besar takmau mommy peluk..takmau mommy cium :p Nak ambil pics pun kena tangkap baru mau. How fast kids grow.Hehehe :)

And of course a visit to the playground too..pictures byk in hp pula..sayangnyaa..

Then, completing the mall visit with..makan makan lah. Makan bersungguh sorang tu. Kemain pkai fork and knife macam terer sgt gayanya :p

Ya ya this boy lah ;p

Tangkap sket Iman with mommy.Geramm jer dia ni takmau bergambar.Takmau itu takmau ini :P Daddy kata stubborn like mommy.

And a little treat of icecream too..once in awhile is OK.

The boys of enjoyed the icecream and well of course spells out : COMOTSS.

Its oklah as long as the boys are happy :)

***

Alhamdulillah :)

And sunday was another mommy's cream puff day.

Well now as mommy had done this like 256895 times, i can memorize the recipe by heart :p Okaylah, not that much times lah but a lot la i can assure you.

And this for sure had become our family recipe :)

Well, what's you favorite family recipe?

Ours would always be of course cream puffs, doughnuts, ayam masak kicap and....

cekodok pisang ;p Cekodok pisang or some may call jemput pisang will always be our favorite, mmg xsempat sejuk amek gambar dh lesappp ;p Lembik-lembik byk pisang..mmg uuuuhuhhh. Terbaikk :P

Simple recipes are always great winners.

Till then,

Our family's New Year Celebration

2012 was a wild year.

Hoping for a better year 2013.

Dah lama tak semangat2 smbut new year rasanya.Last pun masa 6mths pregnant with Iman. Ada celebration ambang 2011 at Proton's foyer.siap ada maher zain lagi :) I like.

2012-dok umah ajer..pregnant with Amsyar and Iman was only 10mths old at that time.

So, this year-we decided to go out and celebrate it our family way :)

Mlm new year balik dari office mmg semangat betul nak keluar g tgk fireworks 2013. Bukan lah nak menyambut tahun masihi or whatnot. Just to loosen up and spend time with family. I loooove family outings. HeheheAsalnya nak ke Putrajaya, tp terrrr detour ke SA pula.Nak tgk ragam manusia di I-city and kalau sempat dgr ceramah Ustaz Azhar Idrus di dataran Shah Alam. Usai simple dinner at home, with my babies in PJs'..kitorg keluar. Ran some errands and dash out to the city center, Kereta mmg byk mlm tu..tp takdelah smp jmmed teruk. From LKSA to dataran SA dah mmg sesak. Pak haji, ustazah2 semuanya bersesak nak dgr ceramah UAI and carnival di perkarangan masjid since pagi kot. Mmg hot skrg ustaz ni..raaaaamai peminatnya. Sb ceramahnya best.bersahaja tp pedas :) Dari jauh org dh parking, and dgn babies and strollers bagai - mmg kena lupakan lah kot hasrat nak tgk UAI.serious ramai. Mengalahkan konsert rock dek panahan Ustaz dr terengganu nih.

So we headed off ke i-city via seksyen 7. As expected, mmg jammed packed with ppl. Sume siap park tepi2 jalan lagi.And ramai juga bwk family and babies.So its a family event eventually kan?Org dh mmg park siap2 kat rumah new rumah kedai area (Jakel etc) and berjalan masuk ke I-city, since dh mmg ada karnival selngorku sayang kot dlm tu. Ramainyer ummat. Cumanya- berbeza sikitlah haluan org2 yg ke I-city ni berbanding yg ke perkarangan masjid td. Kalau perhati mmg tahu bezanya :) So tak jadilah bila dh ramai2 sesak sesak dgn mat mat motor ramai2. Anak muda mudi yg lbih rmai dr families-jd kita tak jd masuk.

So, alang2 dh keluar and it's really near to midnite-we decided to see what's happening in Shah Alam's uptown. Dah setahun ++ kot tak jejak uptown. Iman and Amsyar pun mata bulat godang lagi menambahkan keterujaan mommy (and daddy) nak ke Uptown,

Sampai2 je dh mmg tepat2 midnite. And we were lucky as they have fireworks also here in uptown!! Yeay!!!! Best juga layan fireworks dgn daddy eventho dh beranak pinak cmni :) Daddy pun suka juga fireworks mcm mommy juga ;) Iman was terrified at 1st. But then was OK. Amsyar was not bothered ok jerrr :) And both did enjoyed the colors of the nite market. Suka betul tgk mcm2 bende warna warni. 

The next day, we went off to Setia City Mall. Saja tgk tempat baru :) Tak sempat jejak lagi..

Double stroller.Hehe..Iman refuses to walk when we arrived.nak naik stroller juga.mujur muat!

Amboi...lena diulit mimpi~ tak sedar pun dh smp mana...

Abg tidor plak while kena 'massage' dgn adik ;p

Suka..dpt landing atas meja.

Iman with ice cream. 1st time with Mc D icecream.Mmg jrg beli fastfood.

Happy nyer adik!!~

Comots curik mkn aiskrim abg iman.Ish3.Big NO-NO tau sbnrnya ...!!!

Serupa ke??

Penyejuk hati Mommy-gumbira dpt jalan2 kat tmn in Setia City Mall.

Ramai orang.But still tolerable with a lot of playground equipment.lapang ;) Could u spot Iman?

Adik ngantuk dh..

Stroller yang dh berjasa nearly 2yrs. Brand does not matter for me. ada ke org  beli stroller for 10yrs? Kereta pun org tukar after 100k. Owh ada ek?

Suka buat muka pelik2 :p Mommy's attempt to capture the Heeeeeeeuuuge Christmas Tree ;)

Happy face of my sweetheart. (Ok merujuk kpd yg baju merah ;P)

All in all-Setia City Mall is already nice for me since i do not enjoy the crowded Midvalley mall atmosphere and mostly as it's just 15mins drive from home ;p Parking pun murah. Promo still free for the 1st 3hrs on weekdays.  Most of my fav shops are here. So ok lah takyah g jauh :) Mommy senang jer..ada MPH, ada Daiso, ada few fashion outlets, basic eateries OK dah :) Ada juga Cinema, tapi tak sempat nak check it out lagi ;p. 

And most nicely : a large park with nice playgroung for Iman and Amsyar :)

We had a great time out in sun (and moon) for the opening mark of the new year.

Really do hope this year brings much rezeki and harmony in all of us all year long and for the coming years to come :)

Amin
