We breathe again :))

We breathed here..


and here..



and here


and best,here :))
Exam over, results out...Alhamdulillah for everything :)) We all breathe easy again...Mak and Abah are very happy with their exam performance..they worked for it hence reap what they had sowed...may Allah s.w.t. guide them thru and thru for here and hereafter...amiin.
Yesterday, after a couple of years last we headed to Orchard Road...that stretch looked so so so so different from what I could recall..the old Orchard Road...halamak I tell you...like jakun.Husband was telling me that we had not been in that shopping zone as if eons then suddenly this ION towered over us...so huge that it almost 'bullied' us into going there first but then, we preffered the planned trip to Times Centrepoint for the kids..Anyways..me n family are not so Orchard Road tailor made...when we were teens,yes...but now, the 'happiness' just wanes over the years...shopping for us is now,necessity and needs...window shopping dare not much also..for kids' sake,we prefer to stick to smaller places and book stores..so maybe it will be like eons till we actually want to step into ION...in my heart like mak nenek i said "buang duit betul lah buat besar2, mahal2"....kakakakka...n dun let me go on with that almost an island of casino resort bla bla bla....:PPP
The book vouchers were all used up unlike the planned two pieces first...ehee..being arty farty doubles ,after choosing their books,they wanted connector markers as well...all for hols sake,never mind..'investment' for the school hols...Husain got himself a book of Wimpy kid and Geronimo for Hassan..and couldn't wait to get home to try on the markers and when they did, they almost doodled for 2 hours...only stopped when we all had to head to nyai's for a family meeting...didn't realise the markers came with a Oeinstein's doodle demo vcd....eheh...am a fan of his drawings too.I really think he is one of the best doodlers on Earth..although cartoony kinds but a lot of cute expressions go along with it.Simple steps but wonderful completion of pretty well blended colours to the pictures.Cantik.The boys had been to his workshop held in IMM.He was really fast and good with his drawings and no matter how skeptical looking scribbles he would always started with, those would ended up with really really really wonderful pictures.He made everything he did looked so easy and I did watch him step by step...imagination and happy thoughts is everything.
End of the day..kids were happy..that matters all the time.

Signs and Symptoms

Today onwards the menu will change for the better...after some complains from within..I think I have to do away any lemak or oil laden food too often this time.

Light headed and signs of angina n tight chest feeling is not good.So menu has to be improved for better health and stamina...so,insya'Allah...here come tomyam,asam rebus,beneng,mee sop and such...I wish people here can eat steamed fish or baked fish with me...eheh...maybe I'll make that one someday, a good small fish will do :/

Husband is on about it....well, we have to better our health and stamina,moreover our kids still need lively parents around before we are into the phase of....penat n tak kuasa kind.Being 7, they need us for entertainment,cuddles,activities and more...

Rainy days are here...I love so much.Yesterday afternoon we had rain on and off...there was a this moment of drizzle that I thought was cutely magical...it was so sun shiny day and I thought outside looked so foggy,looking closer it was rain...short tiny strokes but regular and consistent...it was the quiet gentle kind and what's more the sun being so bright at the same time...I told my husband this morn and he asked whether there was a rainbow when that happened...I didnt look but a good recipe for pretty rainbows...yeah..I remember we saw two arches (??) of rainbows some months back...so cantik...subhanallah...

So, despite pretty rains and such...we have to be pretty healthy to enjoy the nature that is offered to us everyday....so,menu kasi overall makeover....insya'Allah...can maintain...lemak cili padi....goodbye for now...
