Ikea, Mutiara Damansara

Sisterhood of Keramatss....This Ikea-window-shopping agenda has been their number one activity ever since the opening of Ikea at One Utama...I was like 13 or 15 at that time when they dragged us (me+my siblings+the cousins) around from top floor to the lowest ground...

..They love the hobby even more...after IKEA doubled up its size!!..tremendously tiring..but guess they had fun watching and touching around..

...Ateh: I need to buy this...

...Mama: 'Kita beli sikit2 la kan..'...

..Ibu: 'Dish drainer ni Kak Jah letak..dlm sink Kak Jah..pastu..'..

...No water?..'omi..oma..Oh My..What should I do'...

Guess i'll be spending more time with the family during this 2-month-holiday....Ridiculously I miss my brother who's in JB now...Well..I end up this Sisterhood of Keramatss' story with other snapshots..

..Baby Sitter of the day...

..who says no to ice cream?..

...dedek : ibu mithali....

...uwan(nek nyang) with ammar...

...hmm I wonder...

at the end of the day...I went back with this RM2.90 toy stuff and couple of small bowls...Uwan belanja...pencen baru naik la katakan...:)....

Fiske Steakhouse, AU3, Keramat

Chinese New Year Big Feast! This was interesting..when every chinese in the world having their big feast couple of days ago...we sorta had our own feast....Not so big..but can do laaa..

Of all any steakhouse that we had been tried out...this is one of the most recommended by the family as the servings are in a reasonable portion, mixed with saute mushroom-coleslaw-steamed broccoli-creamy spaghetti and of course with the steak on a single plate (which you will not get bored munching them). PLUS they come with a reasonable price..

Special Grilled Beef

Special Grilled John Dorry (Fish)

Special Grilled Chicken

Mushroom Soup served with Garlic Bread

..Few memorable shots....
...Mr Viking: 'I love beef'..

...parted by glasses...

...4-year-old thumbelina: the thumb sucker..

...errr..

Tok Ibu: I'll be cuddling my own grandchild soooonn..

...bole tahan la...

...Acu Yaya...nose picker?..

...the one yg kena 'POW' that day..Pak Long...

..everybody was enjoying good FREE food..Thankx Pak Long.

2009 / 1430H Resolution

I surfed thru few blogs and it seems that everyone was crazily putting their resolution for this new year. This resolution-making-madness has accidentally took my interest for making a few for myself...Tend to keep it as logical as possible and achievable...

...avoid cash splurging on the unnecessary buying...

...being modest in any ways...

...avoid 'Heroic' attitude...do one at a time...

...control and let go....

...Husband comes first..parents come next...work comes last...

...dream of being one..

To a child's ear, "mother" is magic in any language..

I have this motherhood kinda feeling today...Feeling so grateful and lucky to have my mother as my best friend and regardless to say that she is the bank where I deposit all my hurts and worries...Few memorable shots taken by Mr Shan that may show mother-daughter-love that flows in the family....

“The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.” - Rajneesh

Pengat Pisang Ibu

Selamat Tahun Baru! Happy New Year!....this will be my very 1st entry for 2009...Dah nak beranak baru started on food craving..nasib baik tak pelik2 + mahal...One day before masak ni...gua dah telan semangkuk dah kat Belanga, Desa Pandan...terpaksa pujuk + seret leen lunch kat situ...tak puas punye pasal...esok tu buat sendiri...

The Essential Ingredientsssss..

Santan...orang kata perah lagi sodap dari instant...

Pisang Tanduk....payah nak cari...

gula melaka + santan + daun pandan...campak saja...

wallahh...letak tepung sagu sket / mata ikan....

The taste was quite simple and sweet....not much of a cook though...tapi boleh laa nak telan...
