Aisyah's birthday

Pada 9 Oktober 2009, bersamaan 20 Syawal 1430, anak dara suntiku meyambut ulangtahunnya yang ke 6. Sebab hari lahirnya jatuh pada hari Jumaat, kami membuat keputusan untuk menyambutnya pada hari Sabtu atau Ahad. Aku menempah kek di Bakeri Perdana Alor Gajah pada hari Khamis.

the 6-year-old

Hm... well, this is bad... that's how far I can go as expressing myself in my mother tongue! Ok, I'll code-switch all the way!!!

After flipping through the photos in the album, I decided on the princess in pink cake. After paying the RM70 price, I left to pick up the girls at their Ibu's house. And I was thinking,that's quite at steal, at RM70! However, not a minute into my happy mood, the bubble burst! The girl from the bakery called, telling me that the price I paid was for the sponge cake. So, I had to fork another RM20 for the Am choc cake I wanted. Hm, I thot, still, it's quite cheap... ok, I agreed, anything for my darling girl...

such a pretty cake!

Thus, on Sunday, after tidying up the house, we took off for Sharmini's open day at Bukit katil. not that difficult to find, as long as there's the add! It's a nice cosy home, the semi-D, esp her yard... hm... tapi itulah, lupa ambil gambar!!! It turned out we arrived quite early, as I honestly thot the mail said 11-6, turned out 1-6! Anyway, I helped her cut up the ketupats & arranged the food stuff. At 1, the bakery called, reminding me about the cake. Thus, we left around 1.20, and reached the bakery at almost 2. The ecstatic look on my kids' faces was worth the RM90 and the hassle it took for me to get the cake. They were all googling at the pretty cake..

princess of the day...

So, the jamuan started at 5, with just Tasha the cousin, and a number of 2nd cousins on Abah's side joining in... Hm, anyway, their happy faces were all that matters....

I am 40

Semalam, pada 8 Syawal 1430 hijrah bersamaan 27 September 2009, aku sah berusia 40 tahun... ramai rakan2 di Facebook mengucapkan selamat harijadi, bermula dengan Anom seawal pagi lagi, diikuti Afiq dan Pak Man. Kemudian, yang lain2 menyusul, Amoi, Bob, Ize, Dwan, Cik Mi, Ida, Tie Radio, dan ramai lagi... Di Geni.com, aunt Eve, Pak Rain, abang Din... hm, terasa disayangi...






Di rumah, Papa dah ucap selamat seawal Subuh, kemudian Ayum & Ayang. Aduk kena remind pulak... Uda ada sms, tp Boy lupa pulak, sampai kena remind... Petangnya, ada masak kat rumah, potong kek - Choc Lady...sedap! Berpusing2 jugak cari, sebab American Choc di Batu Berendam dah habis... next year, confirm mesti beli Secret Recipe!






Raya celebration pulak, mcm biasa.. terkejar ke sana sini, dapatlah jugak tidur Jasin n rumah sendiri... tahun ni tak sempat buat kuih byk, dpt tart, choc chip & choco cornflakes aje... tp kuih boleh tahan byknya, sebab tempah dr Yah Violet Tart, beli dr Pijoy Mamar Keri, then beli di Mydin 2 jenis, kek lapis & makmur dr Boy... oklah jugak, yg lain2 adalah maruku, kacang, kerepek bawang...

Duit raya anak2 pun, ok jugak, Alhamdulillah... dah simpan pun sikit di Tabung Haji.. RM210 in total... Altogether, nak kata banyak tu taklah, tapi rasanya dalam RM400++.

My girl's belated birthday

Aisyah didn't want to celebrate her 5th earlier as she wanted to ensure that there'll be quite a number of people around. Well, even though it was 10 days late, her wish was granted.

Apart from the five of us, Tok Wan, Tok Mi, Acu, Mak Cu n Dhia, we had a nice surprise - Pak De and half of his clan paid a visit! There were Zali n wife n their 5 kids, and Zairil with 1 boy n one of their cousins.

My angel immediately became shy. Dear bro had to help her blow the candles out! Baby Nisa missed all the fun as we could not wake her up.

Anyway, the cake (which we only got at the 4th shop) was quite nice, and the kids gobbled it up!

To more bithdays in the years to come...
