Backdated: April, May
|
|
Been on silent mode these couple of months, beside small agenda here and there. Too busy.
Some photos of the going-ons between April and May (so many!):
| Quote: | 01 May: Here's Aleesya showing off her trophy after she won one of the games at her first ever playschool sports day.
Ironic though, she was initially withdrawn and not in the spirit to be with the huge crowd. May be it was her first time in a big gathering. I had to persistently cajole her into joining the singing and marching, but failed miserably.
Her principal, Teacher Thana was there, with pocketful of Mentos. Popped one into Aleesya's mouth and voila! Instantly she was ready for her first game! 
It was quite an easy one, she came out 2nd place. Just before noon, another pop of Mentos for her next game and she raced for #1 spot! The victory video |
| Quote: | 03 May: At best buddy Maya's housewarming doa selamat.
Her 9month old baby, Azalea got acquainted with my Danny pretty well. Just aim the lenses at her and although she couldn't speak yet, she would attempt to say cheese!
Had a tour of Maya's cozy 2 1/2-storey crib  |
| Quote: | After Maya's party, balik kampung Wan den kek Jolobu - kenduri arwah Atuk. Genap 100 hari Allahyarham Hj Sulaiman bin Rasmin meninggalkan kami.
Bawak balik cupcakes for everyone to sink their sweet teeth in. Thanks to Chef Mushmin, my sister Zulian's friend, for the scrumpliciously beautiful cuppies! |
| Quote: | 10 May: Shell Application Hosting 'Fun on the Sand' Family Day. Bukit Kiara Equestrian Club. Now you know what sand they mean. Hubby joined the sand football competition, Aleesya practiced her colouring talent in the children's colouring contest, we tattooed ourselves at the tatto parlour, ada clown, balloons, mascots, etc.
Maya held an 'old-friends association' gathering at her place on this date but sorry tak dpt join sbb asben saya rushing nak ke airport lps tu, luggage pun tak pack lagi. Kita jumpa lagi ye, but nxt time at my place ok. Tak jauh pun  |
| Quote: | 13 May: Thanks to family & friends who reminded me of being 30!  Feels foreign to see the digit 2 morphed to 3  .
Anyways... thanks Daniel for treating me to lunch. That's Maya & Nadia treating me to another lunch. Thanks to the project team to a surprise tummy-filling choc truffle cake!
Hubby? Well, he wasn't around but brought back a Cambridge University tshirt for me  |
 
| Quote: | 26 April:An outing to Sg Wang with my other sister, fondly known by the kids as 'Auntie Neli'. Had long promised to take her out shopping after scoring full A's in all her semesters. Finally we did.
Took the monorail from Tun Sambanthan. I went to school there, the not-so-popular to many: Methodist College KL. 5 repulsive years . Ask my sister Zulian any day, she shares the same view. But I just took pictures of it anyways, just to remind myself how confined our education environment was. The field next to it belongs to MGS, see what I mean by 'confined' . Tambahan sekarang dh ada monorail lalu atas dia. Nasib baik le skolah ni sbnrnye dah pindah ke Sentul. But still...
Neli's boyfriend, Zahab was out with us as well, tukang layan Danny . Thanks, mate!
We bought shoes, tops & Spongbob and Spidey outfit for the kids. Lotsa stuff u can find in Sg Wang. Thanks 'asben'ku sbb melayan kerenah org pompuan bershopping.
Ixus photo edited with Anul's guide. |
That's all, folks! Until June ends, here's me signing off.

Time Spent with Da Luvd Ones
|
|
Feb '08 - Mar '08
Been away from blogging for a bit of a time. Mostly due to keterpaksaan membawa kerja balik ke rumah, which is out of the norm for me (very unhealthy!), dgn itu terlalu muak to face anything IT-ed aftr tht. Maklumlah project time line is pressing hard against the team. Ajakan ke weekend parties pun x gi sbb weekend rasa nak crash & laze around jek. Weekend lah waktunya yg bnyk habiskan ngemas umah, mendobi, feed my family to sleep, and most evident is tht I've been cooking + trying recipes. Since we're sick of the daily nasi, kdg2 dlm 1 hari, brkfast - pancake (we had it with golden syrup or peanut
butter with rice puffs). Calories pun tinggi! Lunch - Yee Mee Cantonese. Dinner - mixed pasta (pasta campak mcm2 ramuan). The husband pun ngidam mkn lemak daging salai. Nasib la my Wan kek Jolobu dah ajar den cam no nak masak. Mencuba juga resipi Jamie Oliver - Sheila's Pudding (peach pudding. But I've also tried a kiwi variation). Top it up with ice cream. Yum. X lepas juga lawatan rasmi ke mini reptile zoo in 1U (dlm shopping mall pun ada zoo). Budak2 ni beriya2 nk tgk snake, spider, etc. Tak takut plak tu. Diketuk2nya aquarium tu semua.
some of the photos I manipulated:
 
Video 'my little precious' naik motor rides kat Sunway Pyramid:

Then there was the birthday party of Esmerelda! She turned 7 on 04.04.2008. Her daddy, and good friend of mine, Daniel held a small makan2 for his family and friends. A chance to see member lama dgn penampilan baru where all the men (hubby Azly+Daniel+Fakh) sit together and compared how they've piled up some michelin spare tyres ever since we last met (at Daniel's party back in 2003-I wasn't married then. But oh yeah Daniel was at my wedding later that year but I didn't get to see his belly tucked away behind the banquet table! ). Thanks for having us and kids thrashed your crib! I know this is one of the few moments we get to spend with our circle. Terharu Esme yg suka browse wikipedia ni took the egyptology book that I bought her, to bed! That's really cute, you birthday girl!
| Quote: | | L-R: Me Hubby Azly, Moi with Shasha & Danny, Daniel with Esme, Adam & Mei Gyn, Fakh with wife Ila and kids. Dear buddy Che Lynn couldn't make it for she had to rest while on a 2-week MC in Ipoh. Morning sickness, babe!Enjoy yr gestation period! |
  
 
Saja gatal amik gambar resipi2 yg dicuba with my new camera. Tak mcm Anul tu, beli D40, amboi

SHELL IT (Cyberjaya) Family Day - Sunway Lagoon
|
|
En. Azly kita and his department organized an away day - Sunway Lagoon! A time to enjoy fun-filled activities with family and friends, and meeting new faces!
Breakfast
We gathered at the hotel's Sun & Surf cafe for a filling buffet breakfast. Considering we stay in Klang, and with 2 kids to get out of bed of, we actually turned up first at the cafe (8.00 am). Impressive! well, mainly because the husband is the breakfast organizer and he needs to ensure everybody arrives into the cafe with ease. Food - ok la, not bad. Hotel standard. I prefer the buffet breakfast in Trader's Hotel, KLCC.
   
    
Wet Park
After breakfast we headed off to the lagoon. There's an entry point via the hotel. Of course there were games and activities and watching the kids thrill themselves with so much amount of water around them like they'd never seen before! I should build a swimming pool in my lawn! 
My Danny & Shasha getting their butts wet:
     
   
   
Danny beat his sister by winning the centre of attentention by amusing everybody with his oreo-eating talent (photos coming up in my next entry).
The wave pool games organized by the lagoon staff were really exciting and the game captain was hilarious enough with his little shrieks every now and then when he got excited himself. Ala-ala aww gitu. So semua orang mmg enjoy tengok and main game. Ramainye org kt lagoon, banyak companies organized family day events like ours on the same day.
Games:
1. berenang dalam tube pelampung (yang lebih muatan sure terbalik punya).
2. Tak tau apa nama game ni tapi ni descriptionnya: Letak kepala atas hujung tiang kayu, pusing 360 darjah 10 kali, lari ke rakan pasukan dlm keadaan pening lalat. (time ni bnyk yg jatuh dlm air).
3. Tug-of-war in waist-deep water (this one satu pool kasi cheer)
    
     
     
Lunch
Buffet at the Zazu Restaurant in the lagoon, just by the surf beach. Being a food enthusiast, I'd say the makanan tak le seberapa pun. Dia prepare ala-ala picnic je sbb even teh tarik was presented in a water pitcher, premixed plak tu. However, the ambience was cool, air-conditioned.
    
   
    
The husband adrenalized himself by getting onto the flying fox thingy. There with his big boss, Jerome, who convinced everybody to join him and as they flew over the beach, people underneath them splash water up to them. Gush of wind + water + pumping adrenalin = sheer fun! Of course I had to babysit. If not, I would've joined them.
 
Alhamdulillah the day went by with zero casualties + tiada adegan2 berpakaian seksi (semua peserta berpakain sopan + menutup aurat) . Yg penting, my kiddos were overjoyed sampai tak nak keluar dari air. All in all, it was a day of fun & splash! Need I say more?
Thanks to Lennie, Martin & Piyush for taking lots of photos!
| Quote: | | sampai tak muat la nak upload semua dlm entry ni! |

Last Day in the World of Cengkerang
|
|
Thanks to everyone in the Shell OneHealth IT implementation project wave 1, I cherish my stay in the team every day that went by. Working hand-in-hand ensuring that every defect is retested was not so fun but hey we sailed through it!
Sad to leave but when you gotta go, you gotta go, baby!
Last Day: 31 October 2007
What I left behind: Memories... tonnes of it...
... and a position to be filled!
Where I'm headed: You know where I am!
| Quote: | | Thanks Anul for your farewell notes. Mcm le pegi jauh benor, we're jz 1 floor away je hahaha |
with former team lead (Miza) during a buka puasa dinner at Dewan Budaya:
at my cengkerang desk; every day was a laugh day (click on the cilok-ed image for Anul's speech):
at my farewell lunch with some of the team members - Sharleena, Anul, Ayman, and the new dad Amer (Amer replaced Miza for team lead role). At Italiannies, The Curve *Thanks guys!* Luv ya!:
