Chelsea Asia Tour 2011

Hmmm hmmmm..... hello friday to everyone... my body felt like floating in the air.... lack of rest and stay up late just because we went to watch the

Chelsea vs Malaysia

at Bukit Jalil Stadium last night. Seriously football is not my thing at all....I don't quite appreciate the excitement of watching live match .... the least of my involvement in football perhaps during world cup .... and my favourite team is Germany....and I only watch them on ASTRO stadium...then.. when Germany is out of game.... choose another team to support during final match... very the lalang.... have no specific favourite team.... and I don't even have a shirt that indicated I am a fan of any team....owh I think I got one.... it was Brasil... got it during Futsal match I'm in.... that was it.... 


Here's my confession.... yeah I know something about world cup....very minimal... but I know nothing about EPL, European League .... so I don't even know any players from both team.... I heard the crowd screaming when their favourite players make an appearance.... but just couldn't bother......they are just the same....


I have not been to stadium for football match for ages.... I think I remembered watching Selangor match way back in 1996... or what.....masa tu Azman Adnan tengah hot...zaman ada pemain import lagi.... be there not because of football but to impress my husband to be (at that time) that I like what he likes.... and want to spent time with him.... the match is secondary... being next to him is the priority......


Same principle applied yesterday.... after few times heard him reiterating his intention.... I don't think I can't totally ignore his request... tickets compliment from my SIL (thanks Maybank)..... here we are... in fact I felt really honoured to accompany him there.... I read few bloggers have the same experience like mine.... so I knew that I'm not just the one....


The crowd were quite orderly... no problem of getting seats... though it's a bit way up..... but may be due to age factor... I just couldn't stand the noise.... in fact I couldn't stop thinking .... all the negatives thoughts came to mind.... the game has not even started....

what if this people loose their control
what if I couldn't escape from here...
what if I got fainted
what if I got suffocated due to not enough oxygen
what if I got step on...
what if I got lost...
what if I got heart attack...
what if these people go beyond limit.... 

I have no choice except to calm down my self... and try to deviate my focus to other things... like taking photos, update fb.... gosh... no internet connections... so I have no other choice except to watch the match..... and surprisingly I got blend with the crowd....  I'm shock to hear me screaming... not that I wanted to... but it comes naturally..... then immedaiately all my negatives feeling gone and that's about it.....

Lunch date cum tea at Ben's, KLCC

Hmmm tak sangka budak tecik dua orang ni sampai KL.... actually my two true friends here have a 2 days course in Concorde Hotel, KL.... since  it's just a 5 minutes drive from my office.... then might as well meet up and have a chat.....

But of course time is so limited plus they need to do it while filling in their stomach and what not..... so nothing much can be discussed...

It meant for quick chat.... but very happy to see them here... I've never had a chance to see them since I left Proton....

Anyway, the dim sum was good

 
.
.
.
.
.

Binggo... all of a sudden, we decided that we're going to meet again for tea... where can this be? end up meeting at Ben's, KLCC .... these girls have not been to KLCC for years..... but for Ben's... I am no more than them... it's my first time here too....


Since I'm the host here.... I've done a bit af research from the food review blogs... what to order and recommended dish... furthermore I don't want to be seen nervous and don't know what to do next kind of feeling....

I heard they are good at desserts.... you'll not be dissapointed or you'll regret for not trying them..... well let's see whether what others say is true or not la......

From the long list of dish.... I quickly zoom in to the dessert section .... and look for something that I'm familiar with...... pray hard that I ordered the correct one.....

So for Niz and Reen they just follow.......

.
.
.
.
While waiting for our order to come..... we have something to get us occupied... Niz was curious to explore what's contained inside the green box with tab cards...... we're curious too....

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
It's actually a box with card tabs for recipes, table topic and suggestions...we started with table topic..... we can't stop ourselves giggling on the idea..... it's so unnatural....to be frank.... we have lot more interesting topics to be discuss.... I don't think we need the cards... our conversation went smoothly and naturally flow.....

perhaps it's helpful for icebreaker... or may be we need that if we came here with our spouse... right girls..... actually this is good especially nowadays people are pretty occupied with gadgets and they might forget the other party left in a "don't know what to do" mode....

for example.... we have this simple question to ask and answer...

.
.
.
.
and not just that.... they have these recipe card.. why do they want to reveal their secret recipe.... no it's actually meant for you to try at home....

we got so excited when the waiter told us that you can bring that home...... wow..Malaysian just love free gift aren't they... I'm not excluded.... I think I brought back 6 recipes.... too ambitious right?

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
ok now let's leave the cards behind.....

the orders came after 20 minutes.....I think it could be less than that..... I'm impressed....

the first one served was this

Toffee Dates Pudding
served with Butterscotch sauce and vanilla Ice Cream....
you can expect the taste from the looks right....

.
.
.
.
Then.... this is the killer

Macademia Cheesecake Sundae
this is a must try.....

and I ordered the
Asam Refresher
for drink which contained.... cucumber, sparkling juice, asam boi and limau kasturi....


.
.
.
and the last sweet stuff we ordered was
Mixed Berries Crumble Tart
.
.
.
just look at that....

that leaves us mmmmmmm.....nodding and speechless....
it's so yummy.......



.
.
.
and to balance the sweet thingy.....
Rin ordered

Garden Spritz
with thyme, peach puree, lemon slice and sparkling juice......
something you never thought as combination to great drink right?

 
.
.
.
the place is so cosy and made us felt like home....
so what do we do next.....
we talked about Nora Elena.... and also the novel adopted for the slots Kasih Suci...
and
we even watched Nora Elena best scene... episode 16
 and we like to berangan and senyum sorang-sorang.....who cares....





.
.
.
.
actually I made them pose......

.
.
.
relaxing after whole day of brain stress....

.
.
.



.
.
.

don't know when can we have this session again...... if ever you guys came down to KL..... we'll plan again okay....


just the 3 of us...  

.
.
.
.
and
for all that..... mmmmmm it's on the Dot.. nothing much compared to the great time we had....

.
.
Sorry for the blurr picture..... okay girls sayonara...... Ben.... a real eye opener..... definitely will come again with don't know who.....















48 hours maidless...

Life without maid can be therapeutic....but can't exceed 48 hours.....that's the limit for me... at least as for now...while my kids are still in school and I have 2 toddlers to handle.... my maid off for leave last weekend and that left us one family... we still have 7 heads to go... bear with me of pictureless experience of my 2 days without a helper....

Tips no 1....

You got to have a balance of short outdoor activities and at home... too much of either can be chaotic.....

So here goes my list of activities I had for the past weekend.

On Friday night, we brought the kids out for picnic.... it's a pot luck kind of picnic... at night, and suppose to have karaoke in a package...but due to rainy weather.... the karaoke was put on hold.... it's actually the EOCM TT....

kids brought along their waveboard, scooters to get on the move....
ooopppsss mind my forgetfulness.... actually I do have some photos for the night....




that's my boy with the waveboard
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
night at the park.....

and the picnic
.
.
.
.
.


and for the next day...... Darin had her 2 days UPSR clinic and me have a lunch date with fwends.... too bad that I have make plans before I knew that my maid was going on leave.....so that left enche hubby with 4 kids to take care..... When I came home , I saw that he has packed some food for the kids....then I thought that was not so bad....

Come the next day..... I took a step of adventure to open a booth at Pasar Tani... selling all my kiddos preloved clothes..... as a preparation for Raya.... I need to clear off their clothes before I bought new one for Raya.... so again enche hubby has to take care of my kiddos...

and I'm surprised for the overwhelmed response... macam goreng pisang panas... everything was cleared within 40 minutes.... alhamdulillah I got almost RM3++ on that day....

I let go my 2 Guess handbags..... for RM30 each.... that was it....

Felt so happy coz my mission accomplished... to clear things and to get some token out of it at the same time spare a portion for charity....

Weeehooo.....end of this week off to Bandung for raya shopping... not for myself... but more for the kids....

It's still early to go home.... then pop up an idea....why don't go for picnic? again? yeah this time to Kuala Langat area to dip into cooling waterfall.....

Just bought something to bite, pack some clothes... and yup here we go...... we had so much fun out there...

Back to Shah Alam at around 4:00pm, then got a call from EOCM member for short TT at Taman Tasik Shah Alam... once again bring the kids to playground....while having the TT....

By the time we got home, it was almost 6:00 pm.... I felt of loading some clothes into the washing machine..... which I have not done it for so long..... miss the thrill of doing it... and felt so occupied, relaxed and satisfied.... lost the connection.... let it be.....

while stretching my leg and lipat kain in front of the TV..... my maid is back and everything resume as normal.....that's the end of the 48 hours without my maid......

Private Screening Harry Potter

First.....before I begin...I shall devote my sincere apologies to my friend IK, WJ and Mr Z for last minue back off from our team.. I suppose to be in the Shah Alam exciting race last Saturday.. but for an unavoidable reasons... can't be there...

Well good to know that you guys had fun throughout the race..... with so many interesting activities.... I miss the Hip Hop and the Ikan Rebus bit.....

So where am I?

.
.
.
.
.
.
Actually, I got last minute invitation for the Private Screening of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. RBS as the main sponsor..... Light meal provided.... and here we are at the unknown restaurant.... after a few snap of photos... then my camera shows a low battery warning... and that's it... left me with no camera... my spare battery was equally low... really dissapointed and.... can't help much except to just enjoy moment together....



Special thanks to Nizam for the exclusive session... I must confess that I'm not a Harry Potter fan... in fact I don't quite sure whether I can stay awake till the movie end.....to me it such a no big deal...... what's more important is to get together with friends....

The session started with the makan-makan and why don't we peep what has been served for us.....one thing funny... we expect the lunch to be served somewhere else... with the western food ... table overlooking the KLCC fountain..... but he he .. not so bad....the food was nice .....

one of it is ....a dish made of Mr. Potato


.
.
.
.
and a thin crust pizza



For the rest of the foods... just zoom in your eyes to the plates.....
Chicken drummet
Fried Beehon
Tempura
Nachos
etc.

.
.
.
.
Good to see Datin Hanizah's joining us.... vogue as usual.......

.
.
.
.
then at 2.00pm we all started queeing for the movie already....


So bye all..... we're going to enjoy the movie..... with the popcorn and drink as a compliment....


Note : I guess I need more plain tops in black so that I look slimmer a bit... I think I put on weight... luckily Ramadhan is just around the corner.

Kid's Moonlight Sports Day

This is my 3rd sports day for my kids which I attended this year.  But I found that this one is somehow very special.... I think it's because the sport day was held at night....under the moonlight... actually the spotlight also... don't believe it right? But they have done it... 1st in Malaysia I guess... Sports at night .. Congratulations to teachers and YDP of SKS9...

and Congratulations for being selected as one of the "Sekolah Berprestij Tinggi" bagi kategori sekolah rendah harian....one of the 18 selected schools on Malaysia.....

One thing good about sports at night is that kids have no worry to get hot under the sun.... and the response from parents were overwhelmed....

So lets the piccas tell how "meriah" the sports day.... we had

This is Darin in her "vampire" costume for perbarisan rumah sukan representing sapphire blue house.....


.

.

.
.
.

Khoo Chon Teng.... and I still remember dia nyanyi lagu.....

Chorus...
Madu.. di tangan kananmu
Racun.. di tangan kirimu
Aku tak tahu mana yang akan kau berikan padaku...
Aku tak tahu mana yang akan kau berikan padaku.....

tapi itu pun we all dah teruja..... hebat jugak sekolah I.. boleh ada artis jemputan .... SK Raja Muda Shah Alam.... kalau nak tahu.. ramai gak artis dari sekolah I... macam Atilia and Norin Aziz.....
