Ramblings of a Mami of Two

I'd like to quote one of my facebook statuses: [My facebook profile name] sees herself 10 years down the road, in a kitchen as modern and as complete as Bree Van De Kamp's, grilling the most tender 12 oz steak and baking the most perfect chocolate brownies her husband has ever tasted. All the while still looking like a 27 year old woman. Svelte and sexy. Amin Okay let's do a reality check: Bree's Kitchen - nope. But I do have a house to build the kitchen in tho. Most tender steak - Hahahaa. Okay, funny. Most perfect chocolate brownies - Actually, I dont even like brownies. Not that much, that is. But the perfect brownies actually symbolizes me being an expert in baking, which I am not anywhere near now. My cakes are either poorly risen, or hangus. Malu, malu~ Svelte and sexy - I am still sexy. I am trying to remain sexy ( tho ach can argue that I'm not trying very hard at it ). I am a funny person kan? Teehehe. I think all of the above are doable. In fact, s...

When I was pregnant with Kimi, I had cravings for things that I used to love in the States. I wanted cheese pizza they used to serve at Union's Fathers, strawberry cream cheese, Shalimar's tikka masala and churros . Ngeh ngeh ngeh. Mengada2, I know. I got my Strawberry Cream Cheese, that's after ach pusing satu KL siap google cold storage punya outlets, last2 jumpa dekat The Garden's. Yang lain tak dapat exactly what I wanted, tapi dapat la equivalent of them. I didn't get churros. Even dekat US dulu pun aku makan dekat theme parks aje. After I delivered I totally forgot about churros, until last week, when we stumbled upon Molten Lava at One Utama's New Wing. And they make churros oo eemm ji. The churros are sold with choices of different dips, but we like our churros sprinkled with cinnamon sugar, just like the ones in Great Escape. Sedap. Tapi takde la sedap gila tapi comparable la. The dough macam liat2 sikit. Its crispy on the outside but soft (but bit lia...

Alhamdulillah, our maid has arrived last week. I can now have my peaceful weekend, yeay! So far, I have no complains but hey, its been only a week. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this one will be better than our previous one. Kalau tak memang sakit hati. Actually, to be honest, I kinda miss our maidless times. Even tho kehidupan adalah sangat2 susah without one, tapi susah2 pun I'm with my family without any strangers at home. Without any strangers I have to care for. Eh aku ni memang suka tulis chapeau panjang-panjang. ( pronounced shapo - one of my bosses' fav term - it means something like introduction ). Btw, masa aku takde maid, Kimi is taken care by my sister's helper. After 2 months of staying at my sister's place, I notice that Kimi macam sangat smart, outgoing, cheeky, very playful, well-mannered, tak takut orang, curious... All the attitudes that I'd like my son to have. I give credit to to the crowd he's been mixing with, i.e. anak2 buah ...

Would like to share a picture forwarded by a colleague: salah cikgu english or cikgu maths?

I have lost 4 phones over the last 5 years. 2 of them is because tertinggal dalam restroom. That's why I refuse to use expensive high-end phones no matter how much i want one (iPhone macam best). I dont know where its going to end up. And that's why juga sekarang I attach my phone to a lanyard. Kalau boleh semua barang2 saya saya nak letak lanyard and gantung dekat leher. Nanti jadi Ajan the mobile lanyard gallery. Anyways, I know all of the incidents are due to my carelessness, but, kalau la orang dalam dunia ni semua berhati baik, I wouldn't have lost them pun. I mean, I would've returned anything that is not mine.I have lost faith in humankind. Pada saya manusia ni, except families and close friends, semuanya tak honest, opportunists dan jahat-jahat belaka. Oh panjangnya introduction. Recently, I lost (again) my spare car key (!). Actually, I didnt even notice that it's gone (dont ask how or why). But anyways long story short, one night, a kid rang our house bell...

Okay yang ini bukan milk tea tapi ada rasa macam nak tulis jugak. The one that we went to is the one in Tesco Setia Alam. Ini memang a must eveytime we visit our new house. Kiranya kalau pindah nanti memang ada potential nak gemok gila aku ni asyik bantai donat je. Back to the mini donuts, in my opinion, these are among the best donuts i have ever tasted. FYI, I dont like the dunkin-donuts cakey types of donuts. I dont like complicated donuts like boston creme or mango filled something something or durian donuts. Donuts, to me, are best served original, that is sprinkled with sugar. Glazed pun ok. And donuts should be light and airy. (gaya2 donut selalu jual kat carrefour's bakery section). The best so far is Krispy Kreme donuts followed by JCo / Big Apple, tapi itupun yang served fresh from oven, bukan yang dah displayed lama and eaten sejuk. Kalau sejuk it becomes yucky. Too sweet and too lembek. Mini donuts sedap sebab its bite sized, and most important of all the dough itself i...

Looks like Ach is gonna have the time of his life this Sunday: Have fun, husband! Muahs! *and I'll have the time of my life emptying my pockets dekat the Curve! Hoorey!
