I am supposed to post these pics earlier but well, better late than never betul tak?

Was working on Saturday so didn't managed to do much cos after work I went to fetch Oscar home to zzz and then later in the evening, I took mom and dad out for dinner. Only four of us; mom, dad, Oscar and me as my brother is not free and hubby has got badminton game. We went to have crabs for dinner... yumm. But no pics cos in my previous post alot of food pics (Sasha marah la... said cannot loose weight wor... hehe). However, this restaurant served us a handicapped crab! Why? Cos we ordered two fatty crab and its supposed to come with 2-pairs of claws (is it called the claw??) but these two crab comes with only 3-pcs of claw!!! Cacat or what? Price was ok and food was yummy. Oscar liked their claypot tofu and mom and dad ate the crab till they can't move from their seats hahahaha.

My poor boy was ill after few days to school. LaundryAmah said I too clean la. OK, from now onwards, Oscar, go pick up food from the floor to eat... no la just joking. Amah asked me not to be too protective only la... Hubby also sakit liow flu and little bit feverish. Was sneezing non stop so I have to confined Oscar in a room and separate these two babies of mine!

Went out to some shopping on Sunday (today) and bought some groceries and some t-shirts for Oscar. Had lunch and balik rumah to zzzz. Can't sleep la me so decided to cook some porridge and blog. Sigh, suppose to be out shopping the whole day to compensate my 4-days wasted last weekend! But, hubby sakit liow so must go home quick to rest.

Ok, hope to do more post on Oscar's development in school. Will post Oscar's artwork in my next post. He he...

Food Food Food......

Lazy to do post by post, so I did a whole bunch of pics all lumped into one post! Food that we had during the holidays and food that I cooked... yumm!

* Tung-Jit dinner at my mom's place. Mom and dad cooking a feast! There are more food but I only managed to snap these cos the later when other dishes its served, I whacked liow. He he.. The duck that I bought tasted HEAVEN!!! And of course the intended pork chop I made turned out to look like tiny pieces of pork slices.... blueh.... but tasted yummy! Mom made soup, another vege dish and also chicken... so much meat we could feel our self gained an extra 10lbs after this meal! Serious!

* Belated Tung-Jit dinner with 2-BILs at Wenworth Hotel, Janbo Restaurant. Erm, dinner was so so only... the first dish yumm, the sharkfin was like MSG broth, steam chicken tasted weird (some herbal chicken), steam fish tasted ok ler, the prawns I didnt eat so cant comment, the LorHon Chye ok ler, had the lotus wrapped rice, tasted nice but too salty (I like!) and look at these very porn looking buns! Ha ha...

* Made Stir-Fried Noodles on Boxing Day. Taste wise ok ler, not as good as mom's cos I dont know what did I missed in the recipe... somehow tarak oomph! Made Sharkfin Melon soup too to go with the noodles. One bowl with lots of melon and the other lots of pork ribs and bones for hubby! Burrpp! Solly...

There is another restaurant I would like to do a food post but blogger is loading the photos like so so slooooooooowwww..... so me go oi-oi first. Do tomorrow okie!!! Happy New Year 2007!

Lights Out! Action!

Its really weird to know that sometimes, me and hubby's imagination can be.

Last night was one of those really irritating night we ever had. After work, I left office to go pick up Oscar at my mom's place. Then I head back home to pick up hubby as we planned to go out for dinner in Tmn Maluri. Went for dinner, bought some stuff and left home cos me very sleepy.

Upon us reaching home, we found that the electricity is out. Hubby thought its our fuse box so he tried to take a look but its ok. We thought history is repeating it self cos beginning of this year, our house's main fuse box (at the main electrical hub) was all burnt and melted! Don't know why... Hubby went to check and discovered that the entire fuse box was removed and the wires are cut off. There and then I asked if we have paid electric bills and according to hubby, we settled it every month on the dot without fail...

So, crazy thought ran into my mind. No thanks to watching so much of teeveebee investigation series... In my mind I thought:-

"Hmm, somebody wanted to break into our house. But because this somebody cannot determine a time which is suitable cos hubby dont leave the house to work at a specific time and also comes back to the house as and when he likes (we have a SOHO), so that makes this somebody hard to break in during the day time. Night time impossible cos we are all at home ma.... so, this somebody plotted... make our house black out so no electricity we cannot stay for the night and we have to move out from the house for a night. Hah! This is a good chance for this somebody to break in... night time, nobody in the house..."

Then, I relate to hubby this silly teeveebee mind of mine... and guessed what??!! Hubby agreed with me! Cos its year end now, so understood that it will be higher crime rate. Even though our house is guarded by guards and these guards do their rounds every alternate hours, we cannot take the risk, right? That time was already 10.30pm and where on earth are we to find someone to come to our rescue. I tried calling my reliable technician but his phone is off. *wei what time ah... zzz ledi la* Then hubby called TNB and as usual, "Your call is important to us, pls hold while our customer service bla bla bla bla...." Finally after listening to some pretty ugly music, hubby managed to speak to a human being! Told them our problem and reminded them like several times that we dont owe them anything (cos they asked us like a gazillion times, wei their system cannot check wan meh!). Then they said they'll send somebody over to take a look.

We waited till 11.30pm and nobody came. At that point of time, I have already started to pack our bags cos either we go back to my mom's place or go to my BIL's place (hubby's suggestion) or check into a hotel nearby!!! Yes, I am that desperate! One sleepy son and one very hot and sweaty mommy and one pacing up and down daddy... you get the picture.

Then, our 'friendly' TNB guy came and saw and again asked us for the paid bills blablablabla wasted some time and then finally, they reconnect the fuse and wire... and yippee, we have electricity again, finally at about 1am!!!! Haha, no charge from the TNB guys but hubby gave them some money as a token of appreciation.

Off we went to have our shower, turn on the air-cond and hit the sack... cos we are all dead tired. But, I couldn't sleep well till 4am in the morning cos I was like thinking about the teeveebee movie plot. Crazy or what me so this morning I zzz till 11am. Woooo, time to get up and plan for our lovely long holiday... hehe... hmmm any suggestion where to go?

My belated weekend post

My previous weekend was very well spent.

Saturday.

Went to Kieran's Birthday Party. Before arriving at the venue, I went to pick up Angeleyes and Darrius. And guess what?! I lost my way and ended up in some pretty remote area and the road are extra 'slim'... I have to close both my side mirrors to pass thru.. Aikes! Better not venture further in cos who knows what I might bumped into. Called Angeleyes to meet me at the maid road. "Sorry Angeleyes... me no good with road wan la". Then we head to the party together. Wow! We were surprised by the amount of people. You get the idea when you read LaundryAmah's post... I dropped off Oscar and Angeleyes in front of the venue and asked LaundryAmah to pick them up there... Then I went to look for a parking. I parked so far until I lupa my way back to the venue... Haha..

It wa a success party as the kids all enjoyed themselves. I didn't bring my camera (darn!) so no photo on this. Oscar ate a whole packet full of fries on his own (which I will never allow on normal days) and drank 3-cups of Ribena!!! Well, party ma, sure like that la. Then the sky turned dark, we headed to our next destination. Said our byes and left.

Sunday.

Woke up extra early today cos today we are planning to go shopping and buy our X'mas Tree. We went to 1-Utama and when we reached, it only 11am but we can already see the crowd. Had lunch at our fav spot. Then, while we are enjoying our meal, the waiter can to serve the table next to us, bumped our table and 'shifted' our table and almost caused our drinks to fell! He apologised but hubby was mad claiming that what if he (the waiter) was holding some hot soup or drink, he might hurt Oscar as he was at Oscar's side.. sigh...

Then we went around buying some work clothes for hubby and yeah... the X'mas tree. We didnt want to get a huge one cos our house is very small. So, we just bought a 4 ft tree with the ornaments and ding ding dang dang... wow, not cheap la... hmm I wonder the huge tree in my cousin's place cost how much with the deco and all...

Ok, that's if for our weekend. Once again, looking forward to it again.

Its the time of the year again...

Ho Ho Ho!!! Merry Christmas!!! I love Christmas. Even tho' I dont celebrate it but each year without fail, I enjoyed Christmas the most. Its a time we meet up with friends to have dinner and to chat and laugh and all with hopes and wishes for the coming new year... Hmm, I can't wait for Christmas this year... I am going to get myself a Christmas tree this weekend. Oscar saw it during out shopping trip to The Curve and he loved it. So, to make my little boy happy, I am planning to go get a medium size tree with lights and deco to give him a surprise... and I must not forget the candy! To everyone, wishing you all a MERRY CHRISTMAS (ya la ya la... still early la, but I like!)

I Love Weekends

I just love weekends. Not only that I get to spend time with Oscar, I get to do things which I can't do during weekdays... like meeting up with friends.. Met up with Jazz, Annie, Sasha, Alice and Esther. Everybody was very lovely and the kids was really cute... you can check out here for more photo...
AND HERE

On Sunday, we head to Serdang for lunch and after lunch, we head to Jusco at Equine Park. Yes, its our second time there and its also classified as one of our eat-full-nothing-to-do trip... but lunch was reeeeeaaaaalllllyyyy gooooood... We had Yong Tau Foo at the famous Leong Ya Restaurant in Serdang (you may want to contact blogger Tracy for the location-hehe). The signature dish; paper wrapped chicken tasted extra yummy-li-cious as the gravy is very tasty and also nice to eat with rice. Oscar loved the gravy too. We also order the famouse fried sui kow but me busy eating so didnt take picture. When you order their famous sui kow, you will not be dissappointed cos the look of the sui kow is like... as if its pregnant! Huge and full of stuffings and yummm.. We ordered Sang Har Chow Mean and its tasted good too (too oily only) but really good. And of course, the assorted yong tau foo needs no explanation to those who have patroned this place before. Their yong tau foo stuffing are just too generous. We ordered 10-pcs and we couldn't finish... Hubby finnaly stuffed himself till he turned up-side down! So, here are some really good food we had over the weekend.

After lunch and our shopping trip, we head home to zzz to get ready for dinner at my in laws. Nothing special, its just pot luck so I made spaghetti, fruit salad and fried chicken. We had other food like satays, pizza and desserts. Food was good (I cook wan ma, so good lor) and I ate till I can't move.. hehe... Some pics too...

* Some dessert (noticed the red jelly, its dragon fruit jelly, yum)

Itu sahaja... sekian terima kasih for visiting my long post...

My weekend up-dates

Photos from my previous weekend and yesterday and today; all lumped into one slide... cos me lazy (and ter-left my camera at my mom's place for a week!)

Saturday.
Went to MV for shopping with my mom and had lunch at The Little Penang...Wow, I am surprised on the traffic flow here cos the last time we went, it was like soooo quiet. I bought McD for Oscar, mom had their set lunch and I had their signature Nasi Lemak. For dessert, we ordered their Pulut Hitam. Food rating, 7/10; couldn't get 8/10 cos mom's set lunch was a little bit cold and my Nasi Lemak... hmmm, something is not right with their sambal... tasted a bit weird compared to our previous visit. Dessert was erm, very thick! the Pulut Hitam is very thick and the chef decide to give us like half pot of Santan for us to go with it! Too much santan and turned the pulut tasted sweet and salty at the same time... but overall, still a very satisfying meal. Bought some stuff and head home to get ready for dinner with my brother and dad...We had 'Tai-Chow' in one restaurant in OUG. Food was nice and price was very reasonable. Food rating, 8/10. We ordered more food but I only managed to capture their famous Asam Fish (very recommended), Hong Siew Pai Kuat (very recommended) and Choy-Tham (very er, old la). We ordered Koo Low Yoke, Claypot Toufo and Lemon Chicken... Service was fast and portion is very generous. We wanted to order crab but their very honest, told us that their crab is a little bit too small... so ask us to consider before ordering. So we decided to cancel the crab. Maybe next Sunday I'll bring mom to another famous place for crab (I'll do a food review later then). Dinner was great and I love it even better cos when I pay for the bill, it was oni RM100 (a little bit lesser).. and great company of course..

Sunday.
As usual, we spent the whole day zzz and me pulak, spent time to be part time tailor. I altered two pants for hubby and boy; I think I must start charging hubby la. Cos, my eyes is painful and very tiring la. Then, later we met up with a friend and her family for dinner at The Curve. We wanted to try Marche (recommended by Annie) but it was very full. Then, we went to TGI, lagi teruk, must wait for 25mins! The kids are hungry so we settled for ViVo instead. To my surprise, their food was ok. Food rating; 7/10. And once again, great company... Oh, I bumped into another blogger there too... Mommy of 2 Angels

Ah... very tired now... and had fun chatting with Annie too...
