Surprise Anniversary Dinner at Akar Lima Kulim

Days before our anniversary, Husband had already informed that he was taking a day leave from work so we could go out, just the two of us. I was looking forward to the day. It had been ages since we had our date without the kids. Hehe.

So on the day itself, we were getting ready to go out when I asked where were we going. He said he needed to go to the bank. (On out anniversary? pppft.) Okay la.. but we went to our favourite breakfast place at Astaka Taman Tun Sardon first. We had capati with kuah daging, all time favourite serabai and roti sandwich daging and tuna. Then we went to the bank to get his thing settled and went to catch a movie. We decided to watch Paskal due to all the positive review. I am glad that we chose Paskal after all these years of no movie. It was a great movie. Got myself emotional a bit.

After movie, husband said we were going to have early dinner. Early cos we had to go back early to fetch the kids from the babysitter. (Yeah.. dating pun kena cepat-cepat lol). So he drove to I didn't know where he didn't want to tell. I was actually thinking we would go to Blackwood Cafe as he entered Kulim. But no, he drove to this place I don't even know where he found out named Akar Lima. And then came the surprise.

The lady owner showed our table. With balloons and flowers and "Happy Anniversary" decorations.

#snippetsofmylife : Wanita - keluarga dan kerjaya

Cerita semalam, makan-makan dengan 2 wanita yang "berkorban" untuk keluarga.

Yang tinggalkan kerjaya asal untuk anak-anak dan keluarga. Dengar cerita diorang, tertanya pada diri sendiri, kuatkah aku kalau nak tinggalkan dunia engineering/research sepenuhnya demi keluarga dan anak-anak?

Sebelum ni selalu je tanya diri sendiri; tak takut ke kalau org sekeliling kata, belajar je tinggi-tinggi tapi end up tak guna semua tu?

Jalan-jalan Terengganu Part 3

So, hari terakhir dalam program Jalan-Jalan Terengganu empat beranak diteruskan di hari terakhir. Sekejap sangat rasa berjalan memandangkan hari 2 cuma dapat melawat 2 tempat je. Sobsss.

Seperti semalamnya, hari ketiga juga dimulakan dengan sarapan di hotel saja. Sarapan di hotel Primula Beach Resort boleh tahan sedap dengan variasi nya. Yang paling tip top - of cos Nasi Dagang. Sebab memang puas hati dengan Nasi Dagang nya, tak terasa nak cari di luar sana. Nasib baik second day still ada menu yang sama. Selain tu, ada toast, salad bar, mee goreng, nasi lemak, cereals, omelette panas-panas (mine is cheese omelette of cos!), bubur dan macam-macam lagi.

Sebahagian dari sarapan Mummy yang sedap enak dan tak sabar Mummy nak makan yumm yumm!

Tapi...

Jalan-jalan Terengganu Part 2

Pagi hari kedua tu, bangun awal dgn hajat nak tengok sunrise kononnya. Tapi sebab anak-anak tidur, maka terfikir lah Mummy, macam mana nak pegi tengok sunrise nya. Kesian tengok budak-budak ni tidur tak sampai hati nak bangunkan. So, batalkan je la niat di hati tu.

So anyway, lepas breakfast kami keluar menuju ke Taman Tamadun Islam yang terletak di Pulau Wan Man. Sampai sana nak beli tiket, baru decide nak ambil pakej River Cruise dan Taman Tamadun Islam. Agak rugi masa kat situ sebab tunggu next trip untuk River Cruise dekat setengah jam juga.

Jalan jalan Terengganu Part 1

Setelah lama tak berjalan-jalan, akhirnya Mummy dan Daddy buat keputusan untuk bawa Balqis dan Bilal ke Kuala Terengganu alang-alang dah ambil cuti yang panjang untuk hantar mak ke Kompleks Tabung Haji Sepang untuk menunaikan ibadah haji pada tahun ini. Kiranya, percutian ni officially percutian pertama Bilal dan first trip for us as a family of 4. Kami pilih untuk ke Terengganu memandangkan kami dah berada di Kuala Lumpur, so perjalanan dah dekat berbanding kalau nak ke Terengganu ulang-alik dari Penang.

Kami hantar mak ke Kompleks Tabung Haji Sepang hari Khamis. Waktu lapur diri tengahari, lepas tu mak terus masuk dengan group dan kami terus gerak ke Terengganu. Kami singgah di Kemaman dulu malam tu sebab plan nak jumpa dengan kawan se-universiti yang ada kat Kemaman. Alang-alang dah jalan ke sana kan. So, malam tu kami dinner dengan salah seorang sahabat di Restoran Terapung Bakau Tinggi, Kemaman. 

Esoknya, kami ber-reunion kecil-kecilan sambil breakfast dengan 2 sahabat dari USM - Azrul dan Fakira. Diorang yang cadang makan kat kedai makan ni, katanya antara kedai sarapan yang terkenal. Sampai-sampai kat Kedai Abezi Nasi Kerabu Kambing Bakar ni, memang ramai orang dah. Antara menu yang ada kat kedai ni, of cos la Nasi Kerabu Kambing Bakar, ada roti canai dan murtabak, nasi berlauk, nasi lemak dan macam-macam lagi.

Kambing bakar yang sedap dan lembut. Memang teringat-ingat je.

Homemade pumpkin puree with Autumnz Baby Food Processor

When Balqis turned 6 months old, I was so excited to make her first puree to feed her with all scheduled and all. I made her food in a very conventional way - steamed on the kitchen, blend with a blender - one by one. I was just a student back then and had all the time needed to prepare her food.

But when Bilal was about 5 months old, I could imagine that I wouldn't have the time to prepare his food like I used to do for his sister. As I am currently working and need to leave house as early as 7 plus, reach home at almost 7 every day, and rush to cook dinner and wash cloth and so on and so forth, I knew I needed some help. Then I found one! It's the Autumnz 2-in-1 Baby Food Processor!

Autumnz Baby Food Processor is so convenient, it helps busy parents like me a quick and efficient way to prepare baby food. It is a steam and blend in one appliance, hence no more washing two or three kitchen stuff to prepare baby food.

I've been using it since Bilal turned 6 months old until now, for about 5 months now and yes - I would totally recommend it!

Since I love it so much, I made this tutorial video to show you how easy it is to use it. Check this out.
