Effortlessly chic..and loooove this song!

P/s this is the performance during Conan O'Brien's show..how awesome is that??

Candy buffet anyone??

Had a great weekend last week, celebrating my niece's 7th birthday. My mom was around and she cooked nasi dagang and her signature dish Nasi kerabu goreng which my friends raved about it...normally she will cook extra for my friends to "tapau" back the food.. and she loooved doing it..:)

Btw, the highlight of the event not only my mom's yummilicious cooking but the candy buffet done by my beloved friend Suria. She did all the printing and organized such a beautiful set-up..and oooohh..her rainbow cake is equally yummy!

Check out part of the pics..will upload more from the camera later..these were taken using my iphone. 

Suria's yummy rainbow cake- thanks to Zarin for the recipe shared earlier:)

The only thing we baked our own here is the cuppies:)

until next time..take care peeps:)

Couple that sweats together stays together!

I got this phrase from Giulina Rancic..and I got inspired once again to continue running, I hope it does the same to you!!

I've stopped running since last January. I only run once in a blue moon on a thread-mill, I even suspended my gym membership. I seriously could not find time to head to the gym after work ever since Allysha started her school. She's on afternoon session, hence I need to go back early to make sure she has her dinner early, by 8 she's already fall asleep nowadays:(

By the way peeps..happy weekends!

Kidzania

It's been a while since I last blogged..been a while tak jengok langsung blogspot, sampai jakun tengok new format, tak jumpa cari edit button:) 

it's a phase where I lost the mojo. Partly due to my work commitment, started with the new department, new boss...my previous boss was assigned to a new portfolio, we had to be disbanded and bringing with us the projects to the new division.


Still trying to adjust to the new team eventhough the nature of projects are still the same. Havent been running much..last was Mizuno as a ghost runner (last minutes decision to join hubby)


Btw..just want to share with you peeps..the new place during this school holidays..Kidzania, they just opened on 28th Feb. I bet many of you already explored the place..


Since we just came back from Singapore 2 weeks ago, so this school holidays we just spent in KL, plus hubby is a bit busy nowadays. My sis in law raved about Kidzania in Jakarta so when I heard they opened Kidzania here in KL..we decided..ok, should go there this school holidays..


Mann...it was crowded, I should have bought tickets online..at least can save time queuing up for tickets. By the way..that's not the only queue, you had to queue all the way up to level 3 because of the big crowd trying to go in.


Time was also limited..they opened 2 sessions, morning from 10-3 pm, minus 1 hour queuing..you ended up only few hours left..by 2:15 most of the establishment won't take any new recruitments..so the most you can only do 2-3 jobs if you are lucky and aggressive enough the kids can take up most 5 jobs...so one visit won't be enough.


Every job, you need to queue at least 30-45 minutes..so overall a bit dissappointed for me and the kids.


Few tips to parents who intend to bring the kids there:

• Pack some snacks (queue for buying food can be long..and slow moving plus food there can be tasteless for some)
• Bring your own water (in case you want to save some times queueing)
• Purchase tickets online (esp school holidays)
• Try to be as early as you can to beat the crowd

btw, the kids have to be accompanied by at least 1 adult, and the adult can't leave the premise, must be inside the premise at all time.


In case you want to check out..go visit their website, and purchase your tickets there..perhaps the experience would be better once school holidays is over

My ballerina

Allysha dah masuk standard 1 this year..being the first born in the family masuk darjah satu..kecoh semua orang, atuk nenek..mommy lagi laa..cuma Baba aje yg cool..(macam biasa, suka ambik sikap berkecuali) I took a week off just to make sure she settled and kids nowadays..memang independent, the 2nd day dah larang I tunggu...akhirnya mommy siap make new friends dgn other mommies yang bosan menunggu kat sekolah:)

Now she's adjusting her hectic day..in the morning, atuk and nenek will pick her up for her agama class, and noon she will be going to her sekolah kebangsaan. Sometimes..at 8 pm, while we were busy preparing for dinner dia dah mengantuk tak boleh tahan2 dah mata..so kesian.

On weekends, she has her ballet on saturday and Piano on sunday, since Ballet I think is the less important (ikut perkiraan mommy) so I told her to stop after taking her exam in March..she's soooo furious...insist to continue her dance class....she has her bff in the same ballet class with her, that's make it more fun for her. This is her 2nd year in ballet class which she took in Beaconhouse last year and continue with the dance school this year. After her exam in March she will be moving to a new level.

My dilemma now, I plan for her to go for other classes related to her academic..and ballet is not something I want her to pursue further...somehow she loved it so much..mommy pening fikir how to send her to other classes kalau jadual packed macam gini..Friday night, mommy sure dah bising2 paksa dia practice piano...nak kena practice ballet lagi for exam..now considering Enopi and English at British council.

I know I should chillax and not worried too much since she's still small, but I guess..I need to train her early....get the right foundation..and once the foundation is strong she'll be ready to face the challenge..I takut sangat she's left behind...you know laa how school nowadays, PMR aje berpuluh ribu dpt 8As.

How do you mommies out there handle this kind of pressure?

I had a conversation with a friend recently, I think being a mother I feel obligated to give the opportunities to my kids..even now nak get a handbag pun berkira2 unlike before..the kids matter kena settle dulu..so kalau nak kelek Prada tu..I nak kena make sure the kids must be given the priority and dah fulfilled..now I understand my mom's dilemma when we were kids. Lucky, this year just the twins go to pre-school. .at least a quarter of our yearly fees has reduced. Last year, Allysha and the twins' fee dah boleh beli LV Speedy Multicolor (one of mommy's dream hbag)...mengeluh je mommy bila awal2 tahun macam gini:( Nampaknya..mommy kena keep dreaming and tak tahu bila mommy's dream boleh tercapai:(

Not a wordless wednesday

It's not a good thing to start a new year with a drooling:(

But, people said if you dream hard enough it might comes true..so for now I will keep dreaming:)

My last run for 2011-Malakoff 7KM &12KM 2011

Finally after series of runs we had since after raya, almost every weekends, Malakoff was the last one for 2011..somehow I feel that I have lost my momentum..I stopped going to the gym at all now.

It's like my obsession towards running is finally over.

The week before, my sister was admitted to the hospital, she has prolapse disc (disc dekat her tulang belakang) and it got worse last week, she couldn't move her leg and in excruciating pain, according to the doctor, the disc yang rosak tu poked her nerves..she couldnt walk and kena baring je all the time..nerves tu made her kaki in pain...she just had a baby 2 months ago, and years back she fell down kena snatched so I guess it had something to with that la kot?
She had to go for surgery to remove the small part of that particular disc, the one disturbing her nerves..we were quite scared to let he to do it, but I talked to the doctor and seek his opinion..and finally she went for surgey after few days in the hospital..Alhamdulillah everything went well..she can walk few hours after the surgery..

So, while my sister was in the hospital..I was't in the mood for exercise at all..keep going back and forth from my house to Sime Darby medical centre..took turn with her husband and my mom to be in the hospital with her...I thought of not running for Malakoff run, luckily after looking at how fine she was after the surgery, I decided to run..

This time around..one of the worst run ever..even Penang Run was better, I felt like vomitting after running for 1KM so I had to walk..and record breaking that I actually choose to walk most of the time..I only speed when I came down the hill..I ended up finishing 7KM in 58 minutes..I dont remember this bad when I did my Malakoff run last year...I guess, it's time for me to retire from running.
To make it worse..I actually took part in 7KM not even 12KM. However hubby did his 12KM but injured his knee quite badly and now he had to rest for a while.

Both of us ended our 2011 run badly:( I dont know how hubby plan to do with his 25Km this coming new year, Newton run 2012..most probably he wont be running looking at his injury this time..luckily I didnt sign up..
