Happy Mothers' Day / Selamat Hari Ibu to all mothers........

Adios 2008 and Welcome 2009....

Never been one who made new year resolutions. Seldom reflecting what happened to me at the year end or at any specific time, I do that when i feel like reflecting anytime during the year. I just finished watching Bobby an old Hindi movie which i saw first time when i was 8 or 9 years old. It was during the birthday celebration of Sultan of Kelantan where the movie was shown almost a month long on the white cloth screen in the middle of a football field near my house in Kota Bharu. I made chocolate ganache and choc paste for tomorrow cupcakes order. The 2 younger kids were already in a slumber land, so was the hubby. I can hear footsteps of my eldest in the kitchen maybe having a drink. It is almost 3 am on 1st Jan 2009. No celebration or firework in Seremban in respect for the demise of the last Yam Tuan . However I would like to wish A Happy New Year to all of you who read this blog of mine. Hope and pray that 2009 will be better for all of us.....
The rascals at home.....

Ramadhan is coming to an end. My oldest was saying how fast time flies and i had to agree with with him. I want to wish all of the visitors to this humble blog of mine, Selamat Hari Raya and if theres anything that i wrote had hurt or offended anyone, please accept my Maaf Zahir Batin. Wish that all of us will celebrate the coming of Syawal with our loved ones far and near. Lastly to whoever is driving, short or long distance, please drive safe.Courtesy from Boxhouses with many thanks....

16 years later.....

Last Friday, after sending the boys to school, i did not continue my sleep like i usually did. Instead, i baked Chocolate Chips Muffins and Banana Chocolate Chips Muffins. Then i made custard for the fruits tarts, assembled them and packed them in the boxes . Everything was completed by 11.30, i took a shower, fetched the boys from school and got them to shower and changed. We left for KL to deliver the goodies at about 1.oo pm. We reached KL at almost 2 o'clock .Boxes of yummy fruit tarts
Someone requested almond London too....Amazingly i managed to arrange all the boxes at the back of my small Aveo ha ha ha.....i was sweating doing this......

That was part of what happened on my 16th wedding anniversary day. Then continued with us heading to Ampang Point area for a late lunch at Ampang Yong Tau Foo. Then we 'lepak' at my sister's house in Taman Kencana before we fetched the father of my boys at his office after office hour. My oldest boy wanted to eat Mexican and we went to Las Caritas located somewhere along Jalan Ampang....We had our anniversary dinner all 5 of us and so engrossed with the yummy food, I forgot to take pictures he he......I had old pictures of the boys scanned. Mostly when we were staying in our 'sarang burung' apartment in KL, one in a rented house in Gombak and the beach picture was taken in Cherating.

And have a blessed Ramadhan to all Muslim visitors to this humble blog of mine.

A single blue rose to all mothers ........

Happy Mothers' Day






















Many of you may have noticed that I am into this sugar paste flowers making phase. If my mum was around she would be very surprised to see how engrossed i was when i played with the sugar paste dough and would be doubly amazed i could create this blue rose ha ha ha. I was a long haired tomboy when i was very young. After reading ms. hart's dedication to her late mum in a magazine last year, my mind kept playing on things which happened on the last few days of my own mum before she was called by our Creator. As i said in her blog, she and i had a similar path when come to our mums. I cannot write as good as ms. hart, but what she wrote really hit my nerve this morning when i blog hopped to hers. Thanks you mam.

And to all the mothers out there me included, i wish all of you the Happiest Mothers' Day and may you all have a blessed weekend. Cheers and God bless

Just to wish all of you.....

To all kind readers, Merry Christmas , Happy New Year and pleasant and safe holidays. May 2008 be a blessed year to all of us.
