Last Minute Trip 3rd - 4th July 2011

Yes, we have no where to go on the weekend. My sister invited us to Cameron Highlands with their business associates as they have rented a 4-rooms apartment there. Hubby agreed to join them after i told him on Friday night, when he came back from his work. I never thought that he asked me to packed immediately, and we will be staying overnight at my in-laws place before we move up the hill the next morning.

It has been more than 10 years i didn't have a chance to stay overnight in Cameron Highlands. Most of the visits wil be day trip as it's very near to Ipoh. I do remember, and it is still fresh in my mind that during my childhood time, my aunt (who has passed away) likes to bring me to Cameron Highland to stay overnight with her group of friends (mostly teachers). It's just like yesterday and she has gone forever now. *Sad*

Well, it's the first time my 2 little angels staying overnight on the hilltop with such a cooling  weather. I brought them the thickest clothing from their closet. Think this will be an eye opening experience for them, we brought them out late night to the night market to enjoy seeing the crowd and also buying a lot of snacks home. We hardly bring both of them together to night market.

The weather is cool, but not as cool as we think. Just nice for me and hubby without have to wear any extra jackets at night. The cool breeze always accompanied by rain. Therefore, it will be a bit troublesome when we need to go out. We didn't have a chance to procure what we wanted. The traffic police were all over the place to issue summon at the hot spot, we hardly can get a legal parking lot. *Sigh*

Fathers' Day

  

Our small gestures to show appreciation to beloved Daddy!

Carmen's Fathers' Day card for Daddy

When thinking of how to celebrate the coming Fathers' Day, i have suggested that we will buy a cake for hubby. Carmen agreed, and on the very last minute, she asked me to bake some cakes instead of buying. I adores her effort. So, on Saturday, a day before Fathers' Day, i brought Carmen to procure some ingredients to make cupcake after i browse online for some simple recipe. I really have no idea of how the output will be.

I get the 2 girls busy helping me in the kitchen, i segregate them with some simple works, otherwise, they will mess up the kitchen place.Carmen will help me to beat the batter, while Jeanne will be taking out the paper cup for me to pour in the batter. To make them more excited, I let them play with my clean unused utensils too, so that they wont give me much trouble during the baking process while i can do cleaning.

Overall, i the cake looks nicer before baking, as i only realized that all the cake decorations are out of place after baking! The taste? Not bad la.....at least all finished up!

Teluk Batik 12.06.2011

Without knowing where to go for the past weekend, we think hard of.......where we want to go? After we think, think, think.......hubby suggested that we travel back to Ipoh and heading to Teluk Batik or Pangkor Island. I lazy to pack to go across the island, i suggested to him we only go Teluk Batik, as both girls love water and it's very short distance from our home.

This is the second time we bring the 2 girls there. This is the place where i met my hubby for the first time and it will always be in my mind! Once a while, hanging over the seaside, viewing the mother nature, relaxing, enjoying the breeze is quite fun. But one thing matter is that all of us will be getting a darker skin, hopefully no sunburn after that!

RM1 Only

 Lady's Fingers

 New species of vegetable

Spring Onion

What can you buy with RM1 today? With inflation rate and depreciation of the value of our money nowadays, you cant really buy even a plate of economy fried mee (in Klang Valley). But, it is different for me today. I went to the market (shop near my housing area) to procure some groceries.

My intention is to buy some lady fingers to cook for Carmen's lunch, as she requested from me eaarlier. After buying it, i saw a new type of vegetable for sell, i hold it, take a look at it and put it back. The seller told me that it's nice, and he left only one bundle, he say he give it to me for trying free! I was so reluctant to take, but he insisted. Maybe he recognize me as i buy from him quite often after i quit my work and cook at home quite often. Then, i ask for some spring onion availability, again, the seller said he only left a bit, and he give it to me for free!

What a day for me? Why am i so lucky today? Why RM1 seems so BIG (valuable) to me today?

Hello Kitty Bath

The cute HELLO KITTY bath I've got from Watsons

I  have seen this Hello Kitty shower for a few times in Watsons, but i never buy it, because i consider that it's expensive as the price is around RM20 per unit, with the shower foam most 300ml (i think so, i never check after all). But, today, Watsons are having sales on selected item. I bump across these items to be sell at discounted price, i managed to get 3 different designs. It is not only cheering up my bathroom, Carmen also very excited about it. She only want to bath using these shower foam!

I'm a hairdresser!

 My mummy gave me FOC haircut!

We were in Ipoh for the past weekend during Agong's Birthday holiday. The highway sure will be very jam with high volume traffic. In order to avoid the traffic, we went back Ipoh on Friday afternoon, and come back to Klang very early on Sunday morning after breakfast.

Carmen has had her hair cut in Malim Nawar during her last visit. It seems nice. So hubby asked me to send Jeanne to the same saloon at his hometown instead of travel all the way to Ipoh to our usual saloon. I agreed. Unfortunately, the saloon only open at 10am. I decided not to wait, because the highway will start to jam very soon. I decided to make my own move!

I become a private hairdresser for Jeanne. I trimmed her fringe and a bit of her curly hair behind. Hubby become my helper at the side, directed me to cut here and there, I dare not trim so much. Luckily Jeanne sits properly inside the bathroom and sit still until i finished the haircut. Such a good girl, at least i can say she is a good girl at that moment!

Sharp Microwave for FREE

The Freebie courtesy of Hong Leong Bank!

The actual microwave looks like this!

While i was busy playing with my FB games since this morning, somebody press my door bell. I open up and find the Nationwide people waiting for me to to sign the acknowledgment for sending me the Sharp Microwave oven!

It is actually the redemption i made using my hubby's credit card account. I never have a microwave at home. I just wan a simple one to reheat the food (if any leftover). I rather use other utensils to cook. Thrust people said that microwave will caused cancer. And i may use this oven as a convenience product rather than daily use.

Now, i have to find a place to slot this equipment. Headache again. Where should i put the new microwave? I have power socket everywhere in my house, just that, where to find a cabinet or shelf to place this microwave?
