Of Farewell Dinner

Last night I had dinner with my GFs at The Curve TGIF. Huda is going to move to Labuan this weekend, follows her beloved husband for about 2 years. So that was kind of a farewell dinner for her. Sobsss.

Hubby decided not to join as he wanted to do some jogging & training. So that would be only me & Aidan enjoying the dinner. Lately, I have this confidence to go out alone with Aidan because he is quite behave and doesn't require much attention. Going out with a baby is much more difficult cause baby has to be fed or nursed on time. Else, you have to bare the consequences. Unlike a toddler. You can just feed him whatever that you eat and when  he eats or drinks, usually he wont ask for susu anymore. That is easy! ;D But, provided that I have these two essentials; Stroller & Ipad. Or I prefer not to go out. Haha.

Back to the story..
The first one hour, he was quite behave playing his Ipad. I was really enjoying my food and chit chatting. But the next 30 minutes, he has started to be bored. Trying to go out from his high chair. I could sense his interest towards the small pond besides our table. But being me, I wont let him go. Mahu dia terjun dalam tu. I asked the waitress for balloons. He ok with that. Leka for a while when we were enjoying the dessert. Then, he got cranky at the end. Only I knew when there was a flying menu landed in the pond! Hah. Amik! Hahaha.

Dengan muka tebal, I have to ambil the menu yang dah lencun and passed it to the waitress. I overheard the waitress said "Alamak, dia baling dalam kolam!" LOL! Terima kasih anak. You're such a lovely boy! T_____T

My Kitchen Rule: Creme Caramel & Beef Lasagne

Saya kalau puasa nafsu masak memang terlampau. Pantang nampak resepi berserta gambar yang menyelerakan, mulalah sibuk nak try. Semalam saya buat Beef Lasagne. Suami kata sedap sampai tapau the leftover to the office today. :) Tapi saya rasa a bit cheesy. Next time, mungkin bole kurangkan susu in the white sauce and cheese. Tapi tak sempat nak ambil gambar. Orang puasa terus terkam food. ;p Kalau teringin, cubalah buat guna resepi Beef Lasagne ni. Senang dan cepat.

Harini, saya teringin makan dessert. Lepas tengok-tengok resepi, saya boleh buat caramel saja. Dah lama saya tak buat. The last time was ages ago, back in uni. Ya, semua activity memasak adalam masa zaman belajar. Hehe.

Resepi Creme Caramel ni daripada kawan saya. Dulu, kalau dia buat sekejap je dah habis. Kami satu rumah tak leh stop makan. Sedap dan mudah. Kalau ada tetamu di rumah, boleh masak Cream Caramel as dessert. Provided that you have a big oven. Kalau oven rumah saya ni, setakat makan dua orang bolehlah. Huhu. Tak sabar nak pindah rumah next year.;D
Ini creme caramel saya. Saya tak guna baking pan. Tapi guna my new remekin. Comelkan remekin ni? Hehe. Saya berangan saya nak kumpul remekin comel warna-warni bila dah pindah nanti. ;)

Creme Caramel

Bahan-Bahan:

75g white sugar *for the caramel*
600ml fresh milk
6 eggs
75g castor sugar
2-3 drops of vanilla essence

Cara-cara:

1) Caramel : Put the white sugar and 2tbs of plain water in the pan with slow heat. Mix it slowly until the sugar turns brown. Kemudian, tutup api, then tuang 2tbs of hot water. Mix it faster and terus letak kat dalam baking pan

2) In another big bowl, stir eggs and caster sugar sampai gula larut.

3) Heat the milk in another pan with slow heat. Tapi make sure jangan sampai didih. Make it warm only

4) Then, pour the milk in the bowl yang dah ada egg aand sugar tadi. Kacau perlahan.

5) Letak 2-3 drops of vanila essence in the bowl

6) Then you can pour the ingredients in the baking pan yang dah ada caramel tadi.

7) Bake it in the oven with double boil *letak air kat another tray, then only you put the baking pan on top of it* for 1 and a half hours at 170c

Happy trying beautiful people! ;)

Sayang Mama ;)

Aidan is almost 20 months. And I need to jot this down coz it really do melt me down.

The other day, the babysitter told me that he spontaneously said "Sayang Mama" when he saw an advertisement on TV. Since then, the babysitter taught him to say it again. So now, he knows how to say it. I feel like crying when I heard "Sayang Mama" for the first time. Sobs.

He has this one good habit to salam abah before he goes to sleep. Usually, after I prepare his milk, I will say to him, "Aidan, time to sleep!" then he will stop playing, quickly lari terkedek-kedek to Abah and salam. Last night, he could even say "Good Night" to Abah. Hehehe. Drama Mama! Aidan cakap Good Night pun sebak. ;p

My baby is a big boy now!! Sobsss...

My new hobby

When hubby found his hobby, running for marathon sometime last year, I always wonder what is my hobby now. When I was a kid and teenager, I used to like reading novels. Then, change to cooking. Since now, I have to cook every single day, I dont feel like cooking is my hobby anymore. Dah tak special. So, since then, I'm looking for something that can call as my hobby.

The other day, my friend suggested to play painting with Aidan. Since he likes drawing, so I was excited to give it a try. So the day when we were painting together, I just found out that he doesnt like painting. It's either he's not up to that level or he really doesn't into painting, I'm not sure. But that day he's more into main pedang-pedang using the brushes. Sabo jelah mak! Well boys, what should I expect rite? So, that's the end of the mommy-son painting story.

A few weeks ago, me and hubby had a short discussion on Aidan's birthday theme this year. It's going to be zoo/safari theme. Anything related to animals as Aidan loveeeeees animals these days. When we have set the theme, as usual, Mummy went crazy. Keep on googling on safari/zoo birthday party. There are so many pretty things for the party, from the cake, decos, costumes, etc.

When it comes to cute animals deco, I got the idea to do some DIY. So, here I found my interest in painting! I never thought that it is fun to do some painting for Aidan's birthday party decos. I know it's still too early, but knowing me who is not talented and creative, I need lots of time to do it. In fact, I want to take my own sweet time, enjoying every little moments doing the DIY decos. Hehe. Now, I can call painting as my new hobby. Yeay me!

While doing the DIY project, I got the idea to do the animal masks. So mak punyalah semangat buat zebra mask.

Tapi...................

Aidan nangis bila tengok zebra mask mak ni! Kecik ati ko! hahaha. Dia punyalah takut. Ingatkan dia ni memang penakut. Rupanya, bila mak post kat fb, kawan-kawan mak semua cakap, SERAM GILA mak punya zebra mask! LOL! Sabar ok Aidan. Your mom masih amatur. Tak ghoti nak painting-painting bagai. hihi


Inilah dia rupa zebra mask mummy buat. Cakap sikit takut ke tak? LOL!


And below is my 2nd attempt that I did last night. Better. Aidan tak nangis tapi still takut!! Memang dasar penakut anak bujang aku ni. Heh. Sabo jelah.
And that's the story of my new hobby.

What a day..

At last I found a new template that suits me. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It's simple and sweet. Just like me. hihi. Thanks to Blogger Candy for the nice template. It's easy to upload and it's FREE!

Afterall today is not that bad. For what I've been through today;

1) Waiting for the report from country from morning. Managed to get at 8pm.
2) The report was incorrect. Adjusting for like 5 times.
3) Hubby is not around tonight. He has dinner with the client.
4) Had dinner at 9pm and it was only Maggi.
5) I scolded Aidan for few times because he disturbed me while I was doing my work. I am bad:(
6) He only went to sleep at 11pm after I finished with my work.
7) I didnt go to pasar malam for groceries. Sobs.

Wish tomorrow for a better day. Maybe a red handbag can make me happy. LOL!

A toddler!

This morning I asked Aidan,

Mummy: Aidan, do you want a baby sister?
Aidan: Nanak! *sambil marah-marah*
Mummy: LOL! But she will be a very cute sister and she can play with you.
Aidan: *bolayan sambil baca buku*

Aiyooo! Macam mana ni? Hehehhe




I never thought that raising a toddler is super fun though it's handful. I love to have a mummy-son conversation these days as he knows how to respond. Even sometimes he will call me "Mama..blablablabla *talking-alien-language*" I might not know what he is talking about but I know he is telling me something. Cuteness!

Aidan likes to mimick on whatever that I say. The other morning when I said, "Aidan, quick!" Then, he ran towards me and said "Kik Kik" Haha. He also remembers a lot of songs especially the phonic songs, animal songs, etc. He might not know how to sing the whole song correctly, but I can hear he pronounced some words clearly. Like the phonic songs,

Mummy: Aa Aa
Aidan: E-pool *Apple*
Mummy: Be be
Aidan: Ball
Mummy: C*ke* C*ke*
Aidan: Tet *Cat*

and so on until Ge Ge, he will say *Go-illa* with L pelat macam nak terbelit lidah. That is super cute!


Toddler banyak keletah. Seronok bila main sekarang ni. But as I said, it is not only fun but also a handful one. It's tiring when he needs my attention most of the time. It's stressful when he refuses to eat and being so picky. I have to urut dada when he messes all around the house. And the list goes on. As MIL always reminding me, being a good mother requires a lot of your patience. So Mummy, chillax la. Take a deep breath dan urut dada!

So, are you ready to have another baby Mummy? Hahaha
