KL day 2

 

Zipped to Masjid India with Mak on the LRT. Pa and the kids went swimming. It was easy from Corus since it was close to the KLCC station. Alighted at Masjid Jamek. Thought it'd be a long walk from Masjid Jamek station. It was soooo close! Got stuff for cousins and aunts.

KL still... Day 1

Roamed the Ampang area for a while... directly opposite Corus was Nasi Khandar Pelita. Heard about this place on the net... good reviews. So went there for very late lunch cum dinner.

KL again.... love it!

We LOVE KL! Is there a souvenir t-shirt that says it all?

Last minute annual leave. It was so last minute that we had to opt for Aeroline. Then again, it was not an option. Its the ONLY option. Didn't want to take budget airline. Wanted to initially... but colleagues warned me against it.

Aeroline was ok, just a few hiccups on the way to KL. TV was not working, food was not so nice... so i slept and just plugged into my iPOD shuffle. And the journey began.

 

My son drew me a loach

It's a replica, ok... With whiskers and all. Google if you don't know what a loach is.

Happy Mother's Day, Mama...

Nurul made me a card in school... she said her friends copied her words. She bought me a little gift from the bookshop. It was an apple keychain. The one with the bobbing coloured water thing inside. Before she gave me she asked: "Mama, after i gave you the gift, can i have it back? cos i liked it." I said no, she couldn't take what she had given someone else. She said ok.

But i secretly hung the keychain at her schoolbag. When she discovered it, she said, she loved me more...  

And she returned with an old keychain : " cos you gave me yours, i shall give you another one."

My first fondant cake

Just a simple one for the couple... So what d'ya think? I'm up for more fondat decorations... with Pa's help of course... can't wait! Anyone want me to decorate theirs?

Nurul's brownie

We have been baking recently. Such a therapy. Especially for me. I need a stress relieving outlet.

I finally made my fondant from scratch. Such a great achievement for me. The kids enjoyed watching me knead the fondant. They helped. But just a weeeeeee bit. Cos it was messy with all the powdered sugar all over the place. The fondant turned out great on the cake! But the chocolate cake was not edible. I had baked it with too much water.... very muddy looking. But the white fondant was perfect! Next time i'll post a picture...

Nurul started baking too... She did her very first brownies. From the egg craking to the mixing of batter to poring ready to bake. Mak topped it up with choc fudge for presentation. It tasted delicious!

I would love to call Aust home

This clip was aired when i was there to complete my degree some 10 years ago. It gave me the shivers when i heard the song. And the feeling still remains. I love the song. I love Australia. I'll be there again.

Singapore had a similar one done for one of the National Day song. Uncanny similarity! Copied? I dunno. Common? I also dunno. But it didn't make the cut for me. I love the Asutralia one better.

Guys led the shopping

I thought i had put this up long ago but i didn't. These photos were still in my desktop. This groccery shopping day was led by Pa, Amir and even Riyan. Me and Nurul just tagged along. But cos i knew what the best or usual brand was, i kept on interferring till Nurul said i was 'BOSSY', great! 

The bestest people i've got!

Gorgeous. Smart. The only bunch whom i always miss a lot.
