Simba Faie Mohsin Milia

A year older, a year wiser :)

My darling C turned 3* yesterday :) As i was down with fever, plus a glitch at SIL's cafe, we didn't get to celebrate Papa's birthday as planned :( Kids were not happy but they insist that we celebrate today. Hopefully all will go well today *crossing all fingers*

To my darling hubby, here's me & kids wishing you:

Many Happy Returns of the Day :)
May all your wishes come true,
Dimurahkan rezeki, ditingkatkan iman
Diberi kesihatan yg baik, dilindungi Allah sentiasa *amin*

Papa's simple but nice cake :)

Papa & his angels :)

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

We're coming towards the end of already. How time flies! :) I didn't prepare much except for some new baju for the kids. Like everybody's saying.. Raya is more for the kids than us. They're mighty glad when we went out for Raya shopping together at Jusco Pyramid :) I only have 1 or 2 more items to shop, before i can say that we're all set for Raya, hehehe.

Faie started fasting this year :) She just started off without any practise, mind you :D C & i are so proud of her. Way to go girl!! I think she'll be able to fast full 30 days this year. Simba had his bad days tho when he was down with fever for a few days. I think body was overhaulling itself. He tried to stay tough. But, afraid his situation will get worse, he didn't fast for 2 or 3 days. Pity him :( As for Mohsin & Milia, they're just too small to fast. I'm sure in due time, they'll do their bit.

I wasn't well myself this Ramadhan. Down with fever for a few days, coupled with swollen gland and low blood pressure, i was a bit weak :( Guess i was just lucky i wasn't diagnosed with bronchitis as what Dr suspected. Still, i have to be a bit careful not to expose myself to too much dust. I pray that i don't have to go thru the same experience when i was hospitalised for pneumonia during CNY hols. Praying all the time that all will be well for me & family actually :)

To all frens & family, C, myself and kids would love to wish all of you:

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri,
Maaf Zahir Batin,
Semuga Aidilfitri ini membawa keberkatan kepada semua :)

A decade ago...

It was going to be my first experience on baby delivery, where i have no idea at all how the pain will be like. Of course i heard fm ppl that the pain will be unbearable when the contractions started, but still all was unimaginable. When the time came, of course it was more than unbearable :( Started with pelvic pain as false alarm, he came to life thru the "window" as he's not able to exit thru the normal way. The boy who appeared "coned-head" not long after Zuhur azan, after being stuck for more than an hour at the "exit", Simba turned 10 last Fri, 15/8/08 :) He has made me proud, angry, happy, sad and felt all the feelings a mother can feel. He's surely a gift fm the Al-Mighty, alhamdulillah syukur :D

Anyhow, we had another quiet celebration for Simba on Fri. SIL baked him the yummiest cheesecake with blueberry topping :) It may not be the prettiest but surely the yummiest, hehehe.

See the lovely candles and those happy faces :)

Senyum lebar Simba with the cheesecake :D

The lovely sibblings.. my buah hati pengarang jantung :)

Happy Birthday Simba :)
Hope you'll grow up to be a "soleh"
You're in our prayers all the time :D

Yummylicious cookies for all occasions :)

I have been selling some nice looking devilicious cookies since 3 years ago. Over the years, there are so many fond & not so good memories when dealing with customers. The worst was i wasn't able to fulfill some orders :( I was really ashamed but i took it as a challenge for the following year.

Many times i felt like quitting due to few reasons. But, i stayed on because along the way i make some good frens :) My happiness is when i get to put smiles on customers' faces :D Maybe they're paying a lil bit more than cookies supplied by others but the cookies i'm selling uses real butter (not mix of butter & margarine) and high quality stuff. The cookies are creatively designed, plus nicely and hygienically made with passion, also QC passed :)

For this year, my supplier makes 3 types of new cookies, namely Toffee Marble Slice, Orange Shortbread & Kiwi Stick. I forgot to take pix of the Kiwi Stick but it's tasty.. yummy.. yummy :) All cookies are available in 3 types of containers: 1) small of 24pcs, 2) medium of 30pcs, and 3) standard of 45pcs. To place order, or asking abt price and availability, you can e-mail me at rose.cookies@gmail.com Utk santapan mata semua, here are some pix. Enjoy :)

..sepagi di pasar tani :)

Simba had to go to school on Sat for replacement class of Raya holidays. Since C had to send him, we took the opportunity to start early as well. Decided to go to pasar tani to look for fresh fishes. Before we came out fm the house, we saw Mohsin has already bathe and when asked, he has had his breakfast too. So, i offered him to go to pasar with us. Excited la dia eventho he asked whether it'll be long or not :) Biasa la.. he wouldn't wanna miss his cartoon shows if possible, hehehe.

At the pasar, we we're stuck at the fish stalls. Going back and forth between a few stalls to look for the normal fishes. Mohsin suddenly became soooo interested in those stingrays. He didn't wanna move fm the spot. I knew it that he wanted me to buy them pari, so i asked him whether he knows how it tastes like. Tau ke tak tau ke.. he's not bothered. I gave in to him but with a condition that he must eat it when bibik cooks them later. He's such a sport to say "yes" almost immediately.

Bukan ikan pari yg Mohsin beli.. but the whole bunch of stingrays :) Told him that he should take pix with the fishes but he refused...

We bought lotsa other stuffs after that. Finally we decided to go home after he complained so much and urged us to go home :) Even with his complaints, he's still such a darling :D

Just Married :)

The magic date she waited finally came on 08.08.08 :) She's now officially Mrs Redza, dengan sekali lafaz. Alhamdulillahirabbil'alamin :)

Too bad i was not able to attend her nikah. Had to work on that Friday so that i can escape fm work on Sat to be able to help out with ushering at her reception. I did attend her majlis berinai, eventho me & C were late as we're stuck in the jam :-/

Selamat Pengantin Baru :)
Semuga dikurniakan jodoh yg berpanjangan,
diberikan zuriat yg soleh & solehah,
dan berkekalan hingga ke akhir hayat :)

Here are some lovely photos of Mr & Mrs Redza :)
