Charger found! Time for a cocktail!

It is 18th July 2011 today. I was really happy and relieved when i found the lost battery charger. I was quite disappointed because i couldn't export any pictures from the camera. And to make matters worse, i had been abandoning few things which includes this blog for the past two months.

Well, good news is today is hubby's birthday and i will be hosting a birthday celebration for him. Yep home-cooking for the big family. Hey even godfathers love cooking! hahah

Shift Happens..

It is only natural that we tend to learn to adapt to new demands and environment. I am now a junior cook in the making! LOL how is that possible for a 35 year old who's supposed to be able to cook because one is married? haha.. I guess one has to realise that talents can come at a later age. But anyway, i have cooked several dishes now and had invited families and friends to savour on my humble recipes. I never knew that cooking is a fun thing to do! That doesn't mean that i am shifting my focus from other worldly ambitions though. It is more of taking breath of fresh air, in between the oohs and aahs of that climb, do not forget to take time to learn new things and one will be surprised of ones ability and talents if nurtured properly. That i believe in that saying - Learning is a lifelong process.

Aside from cooking, i am also learning to let go of certain things in the past that has been haunting my life ever since i am 19! The realization and enlightenment of such process came in light of new discoveries and upon finally understanding the fact that we are all gifted to be granted that one gem - The Art of Gratitude. Being grateful is the key! .. and to that i say Alhamdulillah.

That hunger ..

It is not surprising that March has rather been a hectic month. Work and play intertwined but business and pleasure doesn't belong on the same department for me. I have also learned that vanity can be costly at times. I also need to travel and take some time off again just to get away from the demanding and boring routine. I want new opportunities and challenges.

Call me funny but i do enjoy attending written test sometimes, because it provides me some kind of challenge and the fact that i get to be called for interviews tells me that i had excelled in most of the written test that i have attended. But perhaps i screwed the interview! haha You can't be too smart when answering some conservative senior officials. The system requires you to just be precise. Simple as that. And ..well, Vanity is not good. That i must remember hehe.. Ah well, on the meantime..

Between Balinese massage and Singapore's Mee Rebus

Feeling relaxed and pampered, I think Bali is one destination that i really like when compared to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The people are nice, with good food, mystical aura, awesome scenery and affordable accommodation for those on budget, it is no wonder that this place being hailed as one of a world tourist destination.


I got my hair braided at Kuta while Number 12 got tattooed hehe..

Happy New Year 2011

The New Year 2011 is here and Alhamdulillah we are still here.

Today is 2nd January 2011..

and tommorow i will be off to Bali ..

When i say i do..

My 1st December Birthday this year was celebrated ala grande, and i owe it all to my other half for organising such an auspicious event. I could never find anyone better than you, Number 12


There were celebrated in two occasions. The special guests on the first birthday party comprised of 'hot' peoples in the 30's (my beloved close friends) while the second event was with mum, dad and my siblings.

I really value their presence on both parties which my husband has hosted and i love the presents too.

Thank you very much..

Sweet November

1st November and 6th November was both Dad's and Mom's Birthday. The family gathered at parents' residence as usual but i had to make it early due to work obligation. Turned up at 7pm, i only spend an hour and i was the earliest to come to hand over my presents to the 2 people that brought me into this world.

Bewitching Curve and Black Cherry ordered unique birthday cakes for them. Too bad i wasn't there to share my part..
