BIRTHDAY GIRL..

Labour Day Weekend ..

labour day weekend is over...we stayed at home most of the time doing??? hmm MD would call it spring cleaning....."lets make a plan" ( one of his famous quote ) my respond will be..oh no..again!!!..he loves to make a plan and i will always be the one who yade yade yada...

oo by the way..this is my second week of "jogging" trainning heheheh..yes..my personal trainer aka MD is very dedicated in making sure that my new jogging shoes will not end up "berhabuk" inside the shoes cabinet..starting from last weekend, there goes my late weekend morning nap..kids are happy to see their mom in actions..first round.. ok...2-3 rounds still hanging there..4-5 rounds..terasa urat2 dibetis mula menarik..tambahan pulak ada extra weight..Hafeez ..adoi lagilah...yg heran tu..when MD jogs, tak de la plak kids mengacau..hmm anyway, think i succeed in taking small steps towards healthy lifestyle..need to keep it up..and lucky me i have MD!..:O)

next on the agenda...what else shopping cuci mata aka groceries..where to??? kalau tanya MD ..mana lagi Ala*manda la..or Alam+anda...his favourite shoppingmall..tapi saja je sturday morning over breakfast told him..lets go to kl*cc la..i was only kidding ropa2nya dia betul2...tapi tak pergi pun why???Haaziq wasnt feeling well.. demam...being ibu Mithali...almaklumlah mother's day is around the corner kan...we just went to Alaman*da. MD took me to one of the shop there to choose my bday present...jeng jeng jeng...wait aarr will tell later bila dah dapat heheh...

Sunday...stayed home jugak coz everyone except the ibu mithali ( as usual) dah terkena jangkitan dari Haaziq...think its the weather ...dont you think its too hot!! ya allah panas sungguh lately ni kan...the plants semuanya layu kekeringan...except bunga kertas... so we stayed in. and...mood for baking pun datang...noticed that the granny smiths has been in the fridge for few weeks..and i doubt anyone will eat it anymore..so..apa lagi chop chop!! apple crumble pie for tea. Enjoy...and thats how we spend our long weekend...

Shoes for me..

my newly bought "jogging shoes"...yes..bought it last week with high hopes that it will encourage me to start on my exercise routine..for better n healthy lifestyle...

..not because am feeling "heavy" or the look of my lurve handles bugging me..or my thighs sebesar bagak..bila berjalan they "bump" into each others *sigh*..

its for healthy reason...!

The goal is....err tak de pun goal nya tapi will do my best ..one small step at a time..!

Choc cake for Rainy day..

what do you do on a rainy afternoon...?? you could watch tv but everybody knows..as*tro suck*s when its raining, sleep..hmm that's a good idea..seronok tidor sejuk2 ni tapi tak productive la plak..read books/magazines?? hmm not in the mood..so ..lets bake!!!

after a bowl of maggi asam laksa..and kids are still sleeping ..am ready to bake my chocolate cake...just a simple plain choc cake using the ingredients i have inside my pantry..

2 hrs later...cakes are ready.. put it in mini cups so that the kids can easily eat it on its own...tak de sempat nak topping2 lagi...

Chicken Pot Pie anyone??

MD was saying to me the other nite: "tiap2 malam u tengok ni..apa kata u masak macam tu pulak?"

Me: ok..but u makan ke nanti..kalau tak buat penat je..i know you too well..bukan nya suka sangat pun western food

MD: cubalah dulu..

that is how i ended cooking this yesterday. It all started when every nite before n while waiting for Hafeez to doze off..i always watch "Chef at Home" on Asia Food Channel. Honestly i watch it not because i want the recipes. Its more on therapeutic side! Believe it or not..i just love to watch rasa aman ja..hehhe..anyway..sometimes i do want to try the recipes but then as i said earlier..MD ni susah sikit la when it comes to western food. Certains food je yang dia suka..something new is a challenge for me to cook for him n the kids. Since he gave me the green light and i was out of idea of what to cook....walla...

my chicken pot pie...yus style...thanks to my dearest friend Shikin Rahim for the recipe. My first attempt was successful..although there are rooms for improvement. Next time i will remember to use individual serving dish...senang sikit nak serve as its a bit runny. But the taste was ummmmph!

Patient Polly

Took the "Mommy Style" Quiz on FB and this is the result...


Patient Polly

What a joy to live in your house! Your kids only do activities they enjoy and at their own pace. Work will always be there and you don't stress about your to-do list. Your house isn't spotless, but it doesn't harm anyone if the toys are left out and the dishes are in the sink. You enjoy watching your kids play and time to yourself. Life won't pass you by too quickly!



Am i really a "patient polly"? well at some level its true...but ada kalanya bom jangka ni meletup jugak.. As clearly mentioned above..WORK: read: basuh baju, sidai baju lipat baju, kemas rumah, masak definitely will always be there..tak pernah habis punya...sometimes tak sampai 5 mins pun kemas..then sepah balik. Having 3 not-so-little rascals at home..5 mins is more than enough. However i try my best to train my rascals to be more responsible towards their toys...or else into the garbage bag yahahahah..


Nowadays am trainning my aqeelah to wash her own plate everytime she finishes her meal..and haaziq needs to remember to brings his empty plate/cups to the sink..not just throw them under the sofa...yupp under the sofa..bayangkan..sometime after few days( errr..sometimes je ya..) tak sapu sampah you look under the sofa..ya allah..MACAM MACAM ADA..


i do enjoy watching my kids playing together...but believe me it will only last for maximum 30 mins. After that..mula la.."you ni", "its mine", "semua you nak buat", " this cannot be done" bla bla bla....dengan yg kecik pun sama naik je...his favourite sentence will be "janganla" or "you fireee pom pom.."


most of the time, i dont really have time for myself..kalau ada pun kena curi2 masa...to blog, check my FB, web surfing..in between housechores n kids...However,my kids will always give way to me to watch my fav. TV programme..( more like..dah dah mama nak tengok tv plak hahah). Kalau ikutkan hati tu..there are so many things that i want to do..bila tengok blog org lain macam2 hobi yg ada...tapi itulah..i really need to find "real time" if i want to do all this and strong will..ni tak "hangat2 taik ayam je"...


my 3 rascals memang very demanding or is it me who pampered them too much? Semua mama tolong buatkan. I keep telling them " ni kalau dok nursery habisla"...hahaha..

being a stay at home mom..memang mencabar. You work 24-7, 7 days a week ..on call all the time you name it....therefore patient is a must ( although i recommend once a while kena letupkan juga bom jangka ;o) so you 'll feel better ) ..and i pray to ALLAH SWT everyday berilah hambamu ini hati yang bersih, sabar dalam mengendalikan hari2 yang ada. Insyallah
