This boy

Glad that school is finally out! This means no bickering time EVERY morning trying to get him to wake up. Then we fight again because once he's ready he will blame him for making him late -- which is not the case since 645am is late in his book. Helloooooo, who goes to school so early?!

Will miss our mornings though. For now at least.

Addict

I love sending flowers to my friends. Especially for birthdays. These days, you can easily find flowers bouquet online if your budget is below RM100. Sent this gorgeous bouquet by @daun.petals to Rai last week for her birthday. What a beauty! 

Speaking of gifts, time to crack my brain for Christmas gifts again. 

B.bap

God I miss my bestfriend from the old office. I hardly see her anymore because my lunch break is short, except on Friday and weekend is ohana time but we do keep in touch with calls, whatssap and general teasing on social media.

So last Friday she had a meeting nearby and asked me out for lunch. Yasss! Clearly she read my mind because I've been thinking about having Korean food. 

Decided to try B.bap at Nu Sentral. The place was packed when we got there but since S was there early I told her to order for me first to save time (in which she then harassed me on whatssap to hurry up and sent me photos of the food). Evil.

Say hello to the kimchi seafood pajeon (pancake) below. You can hardly taste the kimchi but I must say it was one of the best pajeons I've had. The texture has a slight crunch to it and I should have ordered this for my lunch instead. Too bad I had to share with S, Meh. 

The chicken was kinda disappointing though. It was kinda watery, not spicy enough and look at the veggies! So big! What a let down. Chicken was also scarce. God just by writing about this I'm already plotting my next makan Korean food adventure. Just realised that the husband has not experienced full blown Korean food experience because he's tasted Kyochon and Bulgogi only. Maybe next time! 

Just read some recipes that doesn't involve minyak masak and they are all mehhhhhh! I'm running low on cooking oil now. So screwed. 

Ibuuuuu

I'm staring at my kid's year-end exam result and silently muttering "I'm not a tiger mom I'm not a tiger mom". His results are okay, As and Bs but my eyes hurt looking at Bahasa Arab, Pendidikan Islam and Jawi results (eh I see a pattern here). But I don't blame him. Bahasa Arab is not easy and WHY THE HELL ARE WE LEARNING ARABIC AT THIS AGE is beyond me. 

Oh well. Note to self: More teaching session with the boys. I'm not gonna go on a rampage on how back then there were no gadgets yada yada yada because you know we are all guilty of this. 

+++++++++++++++++

So, what should we do this school break?

thoughts

God I'm miserable today.
Is it because it's the weather or because I'm eating less now?

Hehe.

super snooze moon

I feel so bad for not caring about the supermoon. 
But my sky the past few days has been hazy and I would have noticed it if I saw the moon.

Oh well. 

The Wonderful World of Musicals

My weekly duty as a stage mom came to an end last weekend with the staging of The Wonderful World of Musicals. With RM35 per pax (I can't I had to pay to see my son perform! At age 7!) eager parents and audience were entertained with renditions of The Lion King, Beauty and the Beast, Pocahontas, Frozen (roll eyes) and The Little Mermaid.

So much fun! I bought tickets for both dates. Hehe.

The simple set up.

Beauty and the Beast.

Blink twice and you'll miss my son! Cikgu Omar at the back leading the pack. 

Gah, so cute the kids.

Imaan the Faithful looking for his Abang's name.

I'm glad we sent Rumi to drama class. He made friends, he's more expressive albeit being so dramatic these days rasa macam nak lepuk je but the most important thing is that he enjoys it. If ada rezeki we will send enrol him again for this class next year. The Adik on the hand, is more keen to do sports so we'll see what's in store for him next year. 

Hameediyah

So dear husband has been mentioning this place a couple of times and I've been tempted to try too after seeing some IG stories and postings about Hameediyah. Rai said it tasted exactly like the one in Penang (minus the vibe) and since I won't be heading to Penang anytime soon we might as well check it out lah. 

I wasn't that hungry so I didn't order rice BUT OMG, ME NOT ORDERING BERIANI IS SO NOT ME GAIZ. Below is his. Sedap jugak.

 

Imaan here, pretending. Cheeky!

I ordered the murtabak daging. I don't normally eat mamak-style murtabak because er, personal choice and I had a horrifying experience when I ordered a murtabak mamak in Kepong aaaages ago. This one, not bad lah. Too much bawang to my liking, but the kuah kari ikan is mah-ve-les.

I am definitely trying the beriani ayam next time! 

Note: Sis sabar je when I watched Neelofa hosting Selera Selebriti (or something) on ASTRO the other day. You just wait for me Kota Bharu! December come quickly please! 

Mondaze

Took the kids to see Doctor Strange yesterday. It’s my favorite Marvel-ish movie by far because the quotes are just worth pondering on about. It was a terrible weekend because the monthly maladies came with a flu, lethargy, mild cough, sore throat, unresolved tension and whathaveyous.

But whatever comes my way, I should just bear with it.  Amri, our cancer-stricken friend is going through far more worse than just my stupid flu. It’s just heartbreaking to read his postings and may Allah ease his pain.  

Have a great week ahead. My sister just came back from Korea and I can’t wait to see what she bought for me! :D

friday is here again weehoo

I'm so glad that Friday is here again. Sometimes you just have to bulldoze through the days and tawakal. Granted, there will be bad days but you know that if it can't kill you, you might as well put a (super)brave face and smile. Or cry.

Some stuff to look forward to this weekend:

• A wedding on Saturday i.e. free food
• Rumi's final preps for his Lion King performance this weekend. for 2 days straight!
• Dr. Strange
• All geared up to finish the Japan2017 holiday itinerary! Then can share with Ame & family, and start praying that everything will fall in place.

Have a good weekend!
