My hero... :)

Yusry KRU, of course. LOVE, LOVE him in this duet with Melly Goeslaw... taken off soundtrack Cicak Man 2. He looked so cute and Pa, you and him look alike at some point.

KL Randomness

Looked like this was not in Malaysia

 

KL Aquaria

It was to be a relaxing trip. And it was also a last minute one. Didn't plan for Bangsar, mid-valley or Sunway. Visited the KLCC Aquaria  on the second night. Good thing they closed late cos we reached at 6pm. Not a bad aquarium despite having to walk through a carpark to get to the entrance. So weird!

The place is similar to Melbourne Aquarium. With huge tanks and damn bigg ass huge fish!!!  Riyan, who by the way is my family's biologist, actually recognised a lot of the fish names! I was impressed. Thanks to Amirus' Underwater book that he'd never, ever let to leave the house. ahahahha 

Part of the aquarium they've got this tunnel-like tank where we'd see the fish as we move on the travellator. It'd only take about slightly more than an hour to cover the entire aquarium. Very educational for both adults and kids.

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!
