The long overdue posting........

Baby of the house birthday on 1st Nov...
Uploaded the pictures long ago but really I was suffering the "M" sickness at the largest scale.... When asked if he wanted a party for his 11th birthday, he said no....he only wanted to eat Chicken Chop in Co*y C*or*er Ampang Park. Hmmm good enough. so we went on Saturday a day before his actual birth date. But on Sunday i just baked a choc cake and cooked my signature rendang cili api to mark the occassion and the grand ma made pulut kuning to give to next door neighbors. Honestly, he is the easiest boy out of my 3 boys to take care of so far even when he was inside me for the 9 months...Alhamdullillah.....

At 9 months old
At 11 years old

Birthday lunch at home and a birthday cake to Fahmi in Sban 2....

As cakes are common sight in my kitchen, before i bake one for anyone birthday in the house, i have no choice but to ask what cake they prefer to eat. As for my 2nd boy's birthday which we had pizza to celebrate the occasion, the father said no cakes too for his. But when asked what to have for lunch, he said whatever....haisssshhh.....
We are not the type who goes all out for birthdays, but as the only gal in the house, i like to have something different to mark the special day. I decided a baked macaroni and cheese should be a nice change for lunch on Sunday. 12th April was my hubby birth date. Mind you, it was 12 x 9in casserole dish that i used, but the entire thing gone in a jiffy. I also made garlic bread to go with this but i forgot to take the picture.

On Monday, I delivered this simple Choc Butter Cake with chocolate ganache topping and the Sponge Bob edible image to Seremban 2 for an 8 year old boy's birthday. The chocolate ganache was so beautiful, my heart ached when i pasted the image on top. Now i know how to get the ganache shiny or matte.

Happy Birthday Zulfarhan.....

My 2nd boy is 13th today. He didnt want cake, he asked me to bake pizza instead. Only baked the pizza for dinner as we had a wedding to attend to at noon. The man of the house was busy trimming the trees in front of the house. We had the pizza for dinner, i made a kg of pizza dough. Made mini pizzas(pizzettes) and 2 X-Large. So Angah, Happy Birthday to you...we love you and pray that you will have many many more birthdays and everything goes well for you....

Another year older.......

I was supposed to bake an 8 in cake on Friday night but i just too lazy. No one ordered the cake but without one, i would be wasting my money. On Saturday morning, after gathering all the necessary tools, i went to have breakfast with hubby. then i realised i needed to use the ATM machine. Saw the time, it was 9.40 so i said to hubby plenty of time, and we went to the bank.....my phone rang, the Amore e-Bake lady called asking me not to worry about the cake....Sunday is ok she said, i smsed her that i didnt have a cake while having my breakfast earlier.... quickly used the ATM and i was in front of Amore 5 minutes before 10.00 . I was doing Wilton Cake Decorating Course 2 from yesterday until 1.00 p.m today. I learned to make many very sweet flowers but i still struggled making the famous Wilton roses.....Finished yesterday class at 1.00 pm but had to wait for hubby to fetch me until almost 3 as my 2nd boy was having a co-curriculum activity in his school. The stomach was doing 'Sweet Child of mine' when my big boy called saying they were in front of the store. We discovered new place for lunch. After the late lunch, we left for home. The student kits for Course 2 consists of 2 oblong molds and i used that to bake my cake. The cakes came out quite nice and i made a sandwich of butter cream and iced the cakes.
This morning hubby and i went to have breakfast in town in separate cars. I did the 2nd part of course 2 and finished about 1.00 pm again. And i think my graduation cake looked very nice. Hubby smsed asking me to go to Ju*co for a late birthday lunch. We ate steamboat. Then, went home and put a Happy Birthday on the graduation cake. It was also my birthday cake he he.... the kids insisted i cut the cake, but before that they gave me the presents....nothing fancy but i love them all. The abang and the father gave me a purse, the second boy gave me a musical birthday card and the youngest boy gave me a key chain. I cut the cake....chatted for awhile and took a long nap.....i woke up with a big smile and i felt so blessed.....

So enjoy the pictures and Kak Ezza, nanti i buat tag tuh ya...

Happy Birthday Abang....

I had mentioned somewhere sometimes ago that month of August is my good month for the whole year. That was because many life altering occasions happened to me in August. One of those was the birth of my first born on 17 August 1993. Just a year after i got hitched he he...He is a true blue Klite, once in a while asking me if we ever moved back to KL. (betul2 anak mak nih ha ha ha).He was an easy baby for the 9 month i was carrying him and until now. His ambition changes like the four seasons in the west ha ha ha.....he wanted to be a teacher once, chef at one time and doing something with astronomy the last i was updated a few weeks ago. He requested a tiramitsu for his birthday cake. He wanted the original version not the one frosted with that white2 cream he said.....ha ha ha...

Happy Birthday darling.......

Friday morning around 6.45 am. The actions were fast paced. My 2 1/2 year old toddler was fast asleep and strapped securely in his car seat at the back. I was already in the passenger seat while the hubby was locking the front door and i felt like going to the bathroom. My due date was 2 weeks away. Quickly i got my hubby to hold on and i went into the house and to the bathroom. Oooppss..i saw 2 drops of blood ......went into the bedroom and grabbed the pre-packed bag and told the hubby we could not go to work that day. We send my first born to the baby sitter and drove straight to the hospital. With the weekdays traffic along Jalan Gombak, we reached the hospital about 9.00 am. Checked into the hospital and thanking God that the doctor was already in. He did his stuff and by 10.00 that morning, i could hear my 2nd son screaming his lung out to the world. I heard soft shaken azan recited by my hubby beside me and i could see his teary eyes. Then he showed me the most adorable ugly baby in the whole world. He had Bart Simpson's styled dark hair, 2 huge eyes with tiny little baby wrinkles around them, flat nose like the father and i just cried of joy. That was 12 years ago on 8th of March 1996, Muhd. Zulfarhan came to the world. He was an easy baby and by 3 months old his 2 dimples were very noticeable. He is the joker in the house and the most active.

The birthday boy making face to the birthday cake on 9th last Sunday as Saturday was a voting day. I knew i had a lot to do for this birthday do but i just could not sleep without knowing the GE results. I ended up going to bed only after 3 am on Sunday.

Football theme birthday cupcakes by groggy mum ha ha ha. By the time everything was over, i just fell flat on the bed for an hour. I woke up to the maghrib azan and i thought i dreamed the whole thing which happened that day.
