Soon soon....

It's not that I forgot about this blog.

I didn't.

I just got myself a new toy.

The iPhone 3GS that's it.

.

*BEAMS*

.

So I'm online via my phone most of the time and hardly come on using my laptop that's why no new updates.

.

But I PROMISE there will be updates soon!

.

PROMISE!!!

Don't leave this blog to read another more interesting blog ya!

Hehehe...

My style

A couple of friends have been asking me what I wear and how I accessorize myself when I go out with my 19 month old daughter, because they just can't seem to match comfort + fashion when they want to go out with their kids.

.

So I've decided to start posting down what I wear when I go out so that they (and all other mothers out there who wants to know) can have an idea about how I match comfort + fashion for myself.

.

Of course, I'm not the most fashionable mother around and I'm sure there are many others out there who has their own personal style and still look absolutely fabulous. But since I've been asked, I'm proud to share a little bit of my own fashion.

Simple lunch with Kathryne and Sam @ Delicious, 1U

.

.

Me

top: cats whiskers

harem pants: random thai fair

bangles: diva

watch: nooka

.

Renee

top: mothercare

jeans: old navy

.

I swear, harem pants are THE MOST comfortable thing ever created!

They're tapered at the ankles so there's no trouble with stepping on the edge of the pants or having to fold it up when stepping into a wet public toilet. And the best thing is, they're so baggy it feels like you're wearing your pyjamas out.

.

I matched this outfit with a pair of beige wedges.

.

They were only RM25, which to me is DIRT cheap.

Am so glad I bought 2!

She killed for the 1st time

See this millipede here?

.

.

Ya, we get a lot of them crawling into the house from our garden outside.

.

Anyways, I think Renee killed it's father last night. Or mother. I dunno, they all look the same to me. Ok, so maybe killed isn't really the right word to use for what Renee did. I think MAULED might be better.

.

Hmmm...in fact, it could be a younger sister or brother that she killed. I didn't really see the size of it. In fact, I didn't even know my 19 month old daughter was committing murder until she came screeching happily up to me and then dumped the two-halves, intestines spilling, dead worm on my lap.

.

And I was in SHORTS!!!

.

So please forgive me for not taking a picture of the deceased.

I tengah hysterical!

Make a Pinata out of him

Omg, did you read the papers today???!!!

.

Crazy man armed with hammer walks into a kindy and whacks children in their heads!!!

*click here*

.

Okay, fine, so the news didn't say anything about the man being crazy but C'MON! Which sane man would walk around bludgeoning 6 year olds in their heads with a freaking hammer??? Only someone absolutely crazy and out of his mind can do something like that!

.

I mean, why would he want to do something like that?

What can a child ever have done to him to make him so filled with anger?

.

Anyways, the police are on the lookout for him now and I pray they catch him fast.

You know what they should do to punish him?

.

They should tie him up and dress him up as a Pinata and then set loose a group of baseball bats-wielding 6 year olds on him.

.

Hah!

If I can't even control my 18 month old girl when she's swinging her plastic hammer around at me, I definitely wouldn't wanna be caught in the same room as a bunch of 6 year olds swinging their bats at a Pinata man.

Cheesecake-in-a-Cup

On Monday, I invited my family over for dinner.

I made a feast of steamed ginger chicken, baked dori in butter and lemon sauce, sambal tumis sotong, vegetables and lotus roots soup.

On top of that, I attempted at making dessert.

Cheesecake-in-a-Cup.

.

Sounded easy enough.

And it surely wouldn't be much of a mess.

Or so I thought.

Because 5 minutes into making it, THIS happened :

.

.

And this is just 30% of the whole mess.

For me to be able to take a picture of the WHOLE mess, I needed a wide-angle lens, and I didn't have one.

.

My whole kitchen was covered in cream cheese and yes, literally my WHOLE kitchen.

The walls.

The ceiling.

The floor.

The window grills.

The back door.

The appliances (as you can see from the picture above).

The stove.

And.

All.

Over.

My.

Maid!

.

Me?

Hah!

I had an apron on.

.

But the mess was not in vain.

Whatever that was left in my mixing bowl was still enough.

And I'm proud to say that my attempt at making dessert was not only successful but it was DELICIOUS as well!

.

So here's my recipe (just try not to make a mess like I did ESPECIALLY if you don't have a house-help to help clean it up).

.

CHEESECAKE-IN-A-CUP

(recipe serves 4 - 6 pax)

.

.

Ingredients

250g cream cheese

250ml plain natural yogurt

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon rind

.

Fruit Layer

1 cup finely diced fruits (you can use strawberries/kiwi/bananas/grapes)

2 tablespoons sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

.

6 - 8 pcs digestive biscuits (broken into small pieces)

.

.

Method

1. Place cream cheese, yogurt, sugar, lemon juice and grated lemon rind in a mixing bowl and using a balloon whisk, beat until smooth.

.

2. Chill for 10 minutes while you prepare the fruit layer.

.

3. Combine diced fruits (please stick to one type of fruit), sugar and lemon juice. Mix it up then set aside for 5 minutes to let fruit soften slightly and exude its juice.

.

4. Divide broken digestive biscuits into 6 small glasses. Spoon a layer of cream cheese mixture over the biscuit, followed by a layer of fruits mixture. Top with another layer of cream cheese mixture. Then garnish with a slice of fresh fruit.

.

5. Serve immediately or cling-wrap and chill until ready to serve.

I hope you have as much fun making this as I did!

Runny nose & flaming throat

I just realized that it's been almost a year since the last time I fell sick, so I guess it's about time that I did anyways. Considered quite healthy for falling sick only once a year so I shall not complain.

.

But I do so HATE having a sore throat. No spicy food. No goreng-goreng stuff. No yummy OILY dishes. Just reduced to having soupy, light things that can't even keep me full for long. Urgh.

.

I'm drowning myself with preserved mandarin orange peels though, cos it works like magic for me, especially for sore throat. I just hope a cough doesn't follow in on this later.

Proud but NOT vain

but then, I can't help NOT gloating about it...teehee!

.

Scene 1#

.

Walked into a little boutique in 1U last week to get some flip-flops and was browsing through some of them when sales girl approached me.

.

"You look too young to be a mum"

"I'm not. Looks can be deceiving"

"Seriously. You look only to be 18"

.

18!!!

EIGHTEEN!!!

LAPAN BELAS!!!!

SAP PAT!!!

.

Boleh tak?!

.

Scene 2#

.

Looking at some DVDs in SS2 when a friend of the DVD guy walked in and started playing with Renee. Then she looked at me and asked...

.

"Your sister arr?"

"Sister??? Hahahaa....no la, she's my daughter!"

"Haaarrrr??? Sure a not??? You so young wor"

"I'm turning 30 soon. Not young lorr"

"Haaarrrr??? 30??? I dun belief you. You look like 20 only la"

.

TWENTY!!!

That's like 10 years YOUNGER than my age now!!!

.

So. Damn. Happy. Can. Fly!

So you tell me la, how NOT to gloat about it right?

Hehehe!

.

Ok, ok...I shall stop gloating for now.

And tell you about the CD I bought for Renee from Subang Parade few weeks back.

.

It's suppose to be a compilation of the top 40 famous children nursery rhymes and it had all the songs that we grew up singing, like Baa Baa Black Sheep, Old McDonald, Rockabye Baby, ABC, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and etc etc.

.

And then right, there was this song that goes like this:

.

Donkey donkey, I beg you, please don't say hee-haw (hee-haw) ya, stupid donkey still sang

I shall beat you, I shall beat you, please don't say hee-haw (hee-haw)

Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw, why you sing so loud? (so loud) ya, donkey talks too

I shall beat you, I shall beat you, please don't say hee-haw (hee-haw)

.

SK was so frustrated with this song and he kept saying, "Already say don't say hee-haw, the donkey still wanna say"

.

"That's why when you scold people, you say "STUPID DONKEY!!!", because donkeys are stupid lorr!"

.

And then, there was this other song that goes like this:

.

Elephant, elephant, why is your nose so long

Oh, I think that's because my mother's nose is also very long

Elephant, elephant, who do you like most of all?

Oh, I think I like my mother most of all...

.

I NEVER grew up to songs like that lorr...

Stupid right.

You know why?
