The Story of the Missing Jeans

Image
This conversation is not what you would expect from a father to his 25 and 27 year old sons. An older sister to a younger sister - happens every time. A mother to her daughters - maybe. Once upon a time, in a family WhatsApp group: Dad: Am.. I hv been serchin for this jean of mine for months.. its cfm'd now u hv been using it!! Am: Pian Not me Dad: Serius??? Whos belt is that?

Char Kuew Tew Special!

Image
Taste: Awesome! This is the special-est dish ever! It was made by Hasben who learnt the recipe from Abg Shaf. The fact that he actually took the time to memorise the recipe and perfecting the skill was tremendously shocking! I mean, I can safely say that cooking is not his passion but I see some improvement this couple of days... Let us hope that he will be trying out other recipes... And I can hang my apron with a smile ;0)

Toowoomba Mosque

Image
Toowoomba now has its own mosque! If you are ever in the area and needs a place to perform solah, do come and visit. Address: 217-221, West Street (corner of Stephan St), Toowoomba, 4350 QLD, Australia. A significant upgrade from the old Islamic Centre located within USQ premises. Had the first site visit in July 2013. The multi-racial muslim community in Toowoomba, mostly students from USQ: The mosque was officially opened yesterday for the public. We had our first Asar prayers, alhamdulillah. The area for the muslimahs. A little area for the kids. Kimi was excited to be the Imam ;p Let's donate for the mosque!

Hasben's Murtabak Maggie

Image
Hmm... It has been 4 years since I was served with this special delicacy from Hasben, and that was the time when he wanted to prove he is 110% husband material, thus marry-able ... Haha! Now, it takes a video recorded oath to ensure that he makes the murtabak this very Sunday. It was nearly 10PM and I casually informed him that he had forgotten his promise... A few youtube-clips-on-"resepi orang bujang" later, he presented me with this... For Hasben, this is equivalent to a home cooked candlelight dinner, hihi! Thanks babes! It was yums!

A New Year 2014

Goodbye 2013... The fireworks display in Toowoomba is such an anticipated event. Every 31st December, we have 2 countdowns, one at 7.40 PM and the other one is at 12.00 AM. This is a great way to give the family with kids the opportunity to enjoy the fireworks. Very thoughtful and a brilliant idea! Each fireworks display last for about 10 minutes. And this year, we went to Queens Park on time (unlike last year, we only made it to the parking lot, haha!) and guess what, Kimi was scared of the noise. Funny little man... It was a great night out!

Night Stroll in Melbourne City

Image
Date: 13 Dec 2013 Hasben had a conference in Melbourne for APFIS. Kimi and I spent most of our time in the hotel room, sleeping. Since tonight was our last night before returning home, we forced ourselves to explore the city and asked Ging to join in. Parked our car at Collingwood Station and took the train to Filnders St Station. Crossed the street to Federation Square. It was a Friday night! Took some pictures of the Victorian Art Centre tower. Reached Southbank. The Yarra River: Passed by a christmas tree at Southgate: Ate ice cream at Trampoline. Just to be sure, we asked the girl for vegetarian, non-alcoholic ice cream and she said "All of them". Yummy! Tried to enter Eureka Tower but it was already closed at 10PM, but was able to buy some souvenirs at the gift shop. Crossed the pedestrian bridge over Yarra River back to Flinders St Station. Managed to hop on a train at 11PM. But Hasben was craving for McDonlad...

Another Birthday...

Image
... What?! Date: 23 November 2013 It has been a year since i got the iPad mini? I am no longer 28? (Yes, these are questions rather than statements). Time flies too fast and it is getting scarier. I mean, I have only a year left to say, "I am a lady in my twenties". Alarming, isn't it? This year, Hasben was ready to celebrate at 11.45PM, although I was less enthusiastic. Being sleepy was no excuse as he still insisted on cake-cutting at 12AM sharp. The Bulgarian chocolate cake was, to be honest, too lovely for my own good. Supriseeee...~ A really suspiciously healthy birthday gift this year - WiiFit!!! Am I really that obviously fat? Ha ha ha! We tried the game and the board until 2AM. Even Kimi did not show any signs of being sleepy. Was up quite late and decided to revisit Cobb's & Co Museum, this time with Shasha and Hana. I thought that Kimi will appreciate it more now that he is 2. The last time we went there, he was only a couple of ...
