Fantabulous Evening....
No wonder I had a strong feeling of wanting to go to BPP.....
Even though I had no idea what I needed to get.
No wonder I had a strong feeling of wanting to get something to eat over there.....
Even though I have plenty of options at home.
Patut lah....
Bumped into a couple of old friends.
Miss you all lah!
The initial plan to
just jalan2-ambil-angin
soon remained as just that, a plan.
Instead,
we had dinner at Delifrance.
(Mainly coz most of the other eataries were packed)
Still,
it was okay..
Even though I had the most pathetic
Caesar's Salad ever!
P.A.T.H.E.T.I.C
Coz it's just "leaves" with very
tiny (read:barely visible)
pieces of bacon bits and
some runny dressing and
NOT
a S.I.N.G.L.E crouton in sight!
And you call that Caesar's Salad?
Caesar's Salad My foot!
Even Burger King serves a more mean-er salad, twats!
$5.50 for a small bowl of leaves, sheer rip-off!
If only Wally was here.... Sigh!
Neway,
the rest of the menu was pretty okay
(save for the f-ing' Salad)
Fortunately,
all the rabbit food issues were soon forgotten....
Just by watching how....
Lil' Mikhail would imitate every single thing Abang Ilham did...
They both enjoyed themselves on Thomas The Tank Engine...
Priceless!
Nadia & Co,
thanks for the company....
Till next time!

Nutella CupCakes
Spent the afternoon baking some Nutella CupCakes.
Sent some over to Cheacher's.
Verdict:-
Lembut... sebab panas2...
Rasa okay....
Okay jer?
She then asked what went into the batter.
Sugar, Butter. Eggs, Vanilla essence. Flour, chocolate chips.
And Nutella.
"No ovelette?"
Uh Oh! Her eyes open big big oredi.
"No."
"Macam kuih buat kat skolah, jer!"
(This, I couldn't disagree....
As much as I like its simplicity & basic ingredients,
I couldn't help but feel like I was in my
Home Econs Class, some 15years ago...)
Gulp!
"Nah! Try this!"
She said as she dig into the treasure chest of her
recipes collection,
all neatly arranged in colour-coded files....
Nie sedap, she said.
Chewah! Promote resipi dia plak!
Still, your cupcakes turned out good, she assured me..
My Cheacher!
Still, she bought my word that the reason behind my
lil' bake-out yg simple2 ajer,
is none other than,
Mikhail...
Coz I needed.....
Something simple enough for
the lil' apprentice...
Something which doesn't require much
prep-work, ingredients & long winded instructions.
Something as easy as
whisk, mix, pour & bake....
Oh well!
I shall attempt Mom's version.
Soon.
Ntah bila, lah....
But S.O.O.N
Insya Allah...

Get well soon
Since last nite,
my lil' darling has been showing signs
of soon-to-develop influenza...
Clear white mucus flowing,
though occasionally,
followed by a couple of soft coughs,
and random sneezes..
are enough to trigger my 'stand-by' mode...
Never mind even if the temperature check
assured me that
he'll be up & running within a day or two.
And all he needs is
plenty of rest and lots of fluid...
Sacrificed my already so-limited annual leave and
turned SAHM today,
just so I could nurse
Lil' Angel
back to health...
I strongly believe that
HOME
is the best place to recuperate from any illnesses.
Not Nenek's house,
Not anyone else's house...
Whenever
Mikhail's
immune system lost the battle and fell prey to the bacteria,
the least I could do
is to leave my employee tag behind and
resume the role of a
responsible mother.
My monthly reports can wait.
My daily duties can be taken over by other colleagues.
My Boss can go to hell, if he refuses to comprehend
why I need to be away from the office.
Get well soon,
my young padawan...

Tea & Pie Tee With Me
The apartment smells wonderful...
Of citric lemon & pine
.
On a
Windy Sunday Afternoon...
Which took so long to come
.
It couldn't be better....
Then to hang out at homebase;
over a cup of freshly brewed earl grey,
and piping hot pie tee,
with the Crib-crew.
AHhHhH..Weekends..

Ayam Penyek
While Ayah's away at a gig,
Momma & Baby
kept 'emselves occupied.
What better way to kill the afternoon
than with some good 'ol
than with some good 'ol
Ladies Day Out!
A late lunch with Mom & Sistas....
For a marvelous spread of
Nasi Ayam ala Wak Kang,
otherwise known as
Ayam Penyek..
And oh, the
must have
Kuah rawon & sup buntut....
to go along....
Yummy!!!
It was then followed by
a little bit of shopping, coz 'baju-dah-habis',
A look-look-see-see-only-then-TERbeli-pulak @ Tangs Basement 1,
and
Alamak-Marie Veton-ader-offer-yok-gi-tengok.
4 full tummies and 4 much lighter purses later,
the day was good and done!
