Two celebrations at one time

Last Saturday we attended the double celebrations hosted by my sister in law, for both her daughters.

First up was the akikah for her newborn baby Fatini.

With the decorative swing beautifully done in the centre of the living room.

 

Which then my kids ended up playing as soon as baby Fatini was out.

Phewwww.. thank god.

I can't imagine baby Fatini flying across the hall in this.

I think they're pretty amazed at the never-seen-before pink swing.

Next, followed by the big sista, Fatihah's 5th Birthday bash.

My boys excitedly waiting to blow them candles out.

Check out the beautiful princess cake decoration.
Can you guess the taste?

Definitely the most popular of the year, red velvet.
Yeah, only this much was left after a few seconds!

Happy Birthday Fatihah!
Maklong wish you all the health and joy in the world.

Welcome to the family, Fatini!
Maklong wish you happy botakkan rambut soon ;)

There should be a "Captain" in there somewhere

Jack Sparrow..

Captain Jack Sparrow to be exact !

I can't comment on this movie.

I'm deeply in love with Depp.
So, I will be totally buyers.
Despite the fact that Arif ended up playing at the aisle.
Despite the fact that my sister in law slept her way through the movie.
I will rate this as fabulous!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, is the forth instalment of this Jerry Bruckheimer production.
Their first was in year 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.
Followed by Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest in 2006.
Quick trilogy sequel the following year with Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.
So you see, after 4 years of searching and waiting for Depp's movie, (sorry coz I'm not loving him in "The Tourist"), how do you expect me to not be smitten with Jack Sparrow?

Unlike all previous series, this forth franchise was not directed by Gore Verbinski.
Rob Marshall took this one up and sorry to say, but I do feel like some scenes are just not relevant and actually not even needed at all.
For instance, the Spanish intervention.
It's really not that crucial to say the least as the Fountain of Youth could also be destroyed by the men fighting anyways, same approach, aye?


And what better way to finish off the 2 and a half hours movie date, other than dive into the Fountain of Ice Cream?

Mango Sorbet for Amin.

Raspberry Sorbet for Arif.

Thank you Acik Hajar for the wonderful outing!

Let's do Kung Fu Panda 2, next Saturday, ok!

(pics googled from the net)

Tehah is 4 !!

Happy Birthday Tehah !

When it comes to her birthday celebrations, we definitely wouldn't miss it for the world !

Not just because Fatihah is Amin's and Arif's one and only cousin, for now that is..

..also not because she has the most beautifully made Hello Kitty birthday cake ever..

..which practically over flowing with rainbow stripes on the inside..

..including sweet ornaments look-a-like on the side wall..

..so delicious that only these were left after blowing the candles..

..but mainly because her grandmother is a well know caterer and serves to-die-for dishes !

Bwahahhaa.. just kidding !

Happy Birthday my dear, and may you grow up with both beauty and brains !

Pretty Cool Sight

I love ice cream.

Well, don't we all? Hahaha..

So, when my sis in law invited us out for an ice-cream fix, it was like a dream came true!

It's Häagen-Dazs !

Yiipeeeee!!!

We decided to go for this "Seventh Heaven".

Fatihah was patiently waiting for it to arrive.

Lo and behold !!

Oh wow ! 

It is absolutely smokin' gorgeous !!

Just look at the delicious decorations !

It's almost too pretty to eat !

Well, almost that is.. hehehe..

Oh yummy.. yumm.. yumm..

Thanks so much Acik Hajar !

Lets go driving..

.. in this..

Arif and his cousin, Fatihah, cruising the 1Utama.

One buggy is enough.. We don't need two..

Yup, they both can fit in it, alright!

In case you are wondering, this ride cost only RM1 for 3 hours, thanks to the One-card, membership at 1Utama shopping complex.. 

Another reason why we don't need a stroller any more.. sigh.. those were the days..

raya-days recap

1. Tuesday 24th Oct@1st Syawal :- Purple was the theme colour. Main dish consisted of ketupat, peanuts sauce, chicken rendang, nasi dagang and fish curry. Duit raya given to all, totalling up to almost RM400. We're absolutely broke this time. But then again, it's only once in 2 years as next year we will be celebrating Raya in Penang where there aren't as many kids there as in Nenasi. We gave RM50 to TokNah, TokNgah, TokChu and Ijah, well, my one and only sister and besides, it's not like I give much money to her each month though. And the rest of the eligible relatives got a standard five, except for Kak Ngah which I gave a ten. After Zuhur, we went to Mersing to visit Chumah and her 1 year old Shafiq. She made nasi minyak and ayam masak merah. We gave Shafiq a five and Chumah a fifty. How I really miss her and the old days.
   
   
2. Wednesday 25th Oct@2nd Syawal :- Main dish was soto ayam. Together with mom, dad and Ijah, we went to Dungun and Kuala Terengganu. Visited the relatives on my dad's side. This was Amin's first visit to Terengganu. Amin was stalked by his 3 year old cousin Sophia who simply adored him so much and seemed to be grabbing him now and then as to play together with her. This scared Amin up and he ended up glued to either me or Han. Later we spent the night at Permai Inn. Han took 3 showers as a way of expressing the joy of showering. Just for the record, we were having trouble bathing in Nenasi due to the vast usage of water causing the water tank to be empty most of the time and slow water pressure.
   
   
3. Thursday 26th Oct@3rd Syawal :- Head back to Nenasi. Han drove the car as ayah was too tired to drive. I wonder what makes him so sleepy. It must have been the delicious nasi ayam Paka that we ate for lunch. Ayah slept snoring throughout the journey. No problem with Amin as he too slept most of the time. Arrived at Nenasi to shockingly discovered that Adam had chicken pox. Tried to distance Amin from him but only for a short time. Amin's been playing all this while with Adam and Alif. Somehow Alif didn't get affected. Well, Allah is the greatest and now is the best time to rely on takdir. As for me, I would prefer Amin to get it at age of 4 and above because insyaAllah by that time he will be able to understand and prevent himself from scratching and can seriously take medication.
   
   
4. Friday 27th Oct@4th Syawal :- The three of us head back to KL.
   
   
5. Saturday 28th Oct@5th Syawal :- Went to IKEA to survey kids bed for Amin because Han accidentally knocked hard on Amin's baby cot last night and broke one of the edge screws and crack it's wooden hole. It's repairable but then it's also about time for Amin to get a proper bed. We have decided on this Kura designed bed - it's kinda like able to transform from lower to upper bed where it can create a playing area below the bed. Almost wanted to purchase it instantly but then we realized that it will not fit into our Honda City. Got to borrow dad's Toyota Land Cruiser and get it later as to save RM60 on Ikea's delivery charges. We then went to watch Open Season at Cineleisure Cathay nearby. Amin watched the first 30 mins and then felt asleep till the end. I was disappointed because I expected more and honestly speaking, I think the movie's kinda boring. Hopefully Happy Feet will be better than this. Anyway, we went to KLIA afterwards to pick Mama up. She took the plane with Fatihah. Fatihah fell sick in Penang, suddenly turned blue and suffocating and was admitted into the Kepala Batas Hospital, but the doctors there didn't know what's wrong with her, so, here she is, will be taken by Rudy's parents at the airport while waiting for Hafeezah and Rudy to arrive by bus. Yup, they took the bus to Penang on 2nd Syawal ago and now taking the bus back to KL. Don't ask me why cause I don't wanna know either. For me, I think it's a very stupid thing to do as they both have cars and you'll never know what kinda of sick people spreading diseases riding inside the same bus with you! It seems that Rudy recently caught a fever and spread it to Fatihah and bla bla bla. At 11pm, Fatihah was admitted to HKL and diagnose for asthma. Mama slept with us at the apartment.
   
   
6. Sunday 29th Oct@6th Syawal :- Han and mama went to HKL to visit Fatihah. Amin and I stayed home because I don't want Amin to spread chicken pox around if he's carrying it now (although currently no sign of red dots appearing on his skin) and I also don't want Amin catching any of the diseases at the HKL children's ward too. Mama took ERL to KLIA and board on the 5pm flight to Penang. Han and Amin went for haircut later today at Ravi's.
