Ramblings of a Mami of Two

I've read somewhere that I'm supposed to buy Kimi stuff that will boost his creativity. Playdoh is on top of my list but those in Toy's R Us are very expensive lah! But worry not, I have found the perfect recipe for home made play doh that wont burn a kawah comet in your pocket. It doesn't take long to make too. So here goes: Ingredients 1 cup white flour 1/2 cup salt 2 tablespoon cream of tartar (find it in the spice section) 1 tablespoon oil 1 cup water food coloring Methods Mix first 4 ingredients in a pan. Add water and mix well. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 3 – 5 minutes. Dough will become difficult to stir and form a “clump”. Remove from stove and knead for 5 minutes–add food coloring during kneading process. Play dough will keep for a long time stored in a covered plastic container or plastic sandwich. The amount of doh is just perfect, tiap2 warna ada cukup doh for kimi to play with. I find the texture and elasticity of the doh...

The blog has turned into sawang labah2. Sorry la babe I tak jumpa benda interesting to blog about.

Salam sayang dari Jakarta kepada Malaysia. Mommy rindukan kamu berdua! Nantikan kepulangan mommy ya!

" Bie cuba tengok flight tu? " Kawan tanya kat Ajan sambil tunjuk ke kapal terbang depan kami semasa kami sedang menunggu pernerbangan ke KL dari Tan Son Nhat Airport , Ho Chi Minh tempoh hari. " Naza dah ada kapal terbang ke? " Jawab Ajan spontan. Comel lah isteri kawan ni. Tapi memang bukan silap dia, memang ada logo Naza besar kat tepi kapal terbang tu. Bukan Naza saja, logo Proton, Maxis, CNN, Tune pun ada sekali di sisi kapal terbang bewarna hijau kuning ini. " Kali ni kita balik KL naik Lotus " senyum kawan pada Ajan. Lotus touch down di HCMC Airport Masuk saja dalam kapal terbang Air Asia terasa seperti dalam motorhome Team Lotus . Semuanya bertema Lotus. Kerusi warna hijau dan hot seat pula warna kuning. Tali pinggang pun warna kuning! Kawan harap-harap juga flight attendant ber outfit seperti gadis litar , tapi mungkin suhu dalam flight tu terlalu sejuk untuk itu berlaku... Untuk jalan-jalan kali ini, kawan boleh kata yang kami pul...

Poskad ni kawan beli di Bến Thành Market (bawah ni gambar salah satu pintu masuk ke pasar tu). Pada hari pertama di HCMC, kami berjalan-jalan di sekitar bandar hingga ke Saigon Central Post Office . Cantik senibina klassik pejabat pos ni. Kawan rasa pejabat pos paling cantik pernah kawan lihat.

Kami pun tertipu dengan kecantikan Floating Market yang selalu digambarkan seperti gambar dibawah. Realitinya , indah kabar dari rupa.

Poskad dari destinasi kedua kami di Bangkok. Poskad ni dikirimkan dari Suvarnabhumi Airport. Kebanyakan lapangan terbang utama ada mempunyai pejabat pos sendiri. Kalau sepanjang berjalan-jalan tak sempat nak hantar poskad, boleh cuba alternatif terakhir ini.

Trip kali ni kami dapat kirim poskad di setiap destinasi yang kami singgah. Bermula dengan Krabi.

Initially, we had planned for a breakfast picnic party, 30 October 2010, at the Taman Metropolitan Kepong, to be attended by only family members, you know, because I'm a family person . But unfortunately the weather wasn't on our side, it didn't stop raining until 9 am so we had to abandon our initial plan and have it at Mak's House instead.  Theme: Kimi loves his blocks a lot. So we thought it's fitting to have a lego-themed party! We bought everything blue, red and yellow, even the snacks and jelly were in those colors! Ach went out of his way to get napkins, cups, fork and spoon and straws in those colors. Comel ok?   Raisins?! Ahahaha. You know I'm a freak when it comes to feeding my son. Jadi, all jajans and candies are banned from the party, hence, the raisins. Hehehehe. Cake : Baking has never been one of my best qualities, hence, to spare everyone the misery of eating my batat (poorly-risen) cake, I asked my boss (yes, you read that right, my Boss...
