First Day At School On 4th January 2012

I can see the excitement in her face to start out her new routine. She woke up early that morning eventhough she slept late the night before. I can still picture how she wore her cotton white and blue baju kurung uniform to school that morning. My baby is now a primary one student. I am a proud mom.
  

After breakfast. Ready to go.

My Mobile Phone Transitions

When my friend, Chuck started to list down all the mobile phones she had and current in her Facebook statuses, i thought i would do the same, here in my blog. The following is a list of mobile phones from the first unit i owned until the latest. Oh boy! I have changed so much and every of it has its own story to tell....

     My 1st phone; Motorola StarTAC V which my Dad gave me in the year 1999 when i have just entered uni (Credit to Google).

 Meet my 2nd phone; Nokia 3310 bought by Papa when both of us were still dating. Somewhere in 2001. Because of this phone, i owed Celcom for almost RM2K. We were madly in love then. Silly us (Credit to Google).

My 3rd phone; Nokia 3650. And again, Papa bought it for me when i started working in 2003. It was one of the first Nokia phones with camera and everybody at the office was like wow! (Credit to Google).

 My 4th phone; Nokia 6680. Papa bought it for me for my birthday in 2005. It was one of the first 3G phones Nokia has ever invented. Believe it or not, i have beaten up everybody at the office by being the first person who owned a 3G phone including the Directors! (Credit to Google).

Another latest phone at that time owned by me; The NSeries - Nokia N95 and it is a 3G phone. As usual, Papa bought it for me and it was 3 years back. At first i found it amazing but later beginning to hate it when i started to have problem with its sliding case (Credit to Google).

When i had enough with the NSeries, i changed to the ESeries. Meet my last phone from Nokia; N71 before i said goodbye to it. It was also bought by Papa 2 years back and i only used it for less than a year, the shortest period i ever used a phone before changing to a new one (Credit to Google).

My 7th and current phone; Blackberry Storm II 9520, the first smartphone i owned and even bought myself since forever. Since then, i have been wired online 247. Wanting to let it go soon and hoping to get a Bold from the same family. Insyallah. Amin. (Credit to Google). 

It seems that i am not the only one who is facinated with the phone. Guess who is playing with it now?

Year End Vacation

Assalamualaikum and good day, peeps! After a long delay on writing about our year end vacation in Kuala Lumpur, i finally say yes to it. So here it is:-

First Day

We took flight from Senai Airport to LCCT Sepang. 

When we arrived, Papa decided that we headed to Suria KLCC while waiting for our room at the PNB Darby Park to be ready around 1400 Hrs.

 

 

  

Finally, we arrived at our dwelling for a night after few hours of walking, eating and fun in the sun at the Suria KLCC. 

We rested whole evening at the suite and around 1700 Hrs, we granted Areej's wish to have fun at the Cosmo World of Berjaya Times Square.

 We had fun, really!

 We took this Crazy Bus for 15 minutes until i went dizzy.

 A happy tired face.

I could have rode it if Papa came along.

Tea time at the Secret Recipe before having fun.

When it came to dinner, my brother, Hafiz drove us to one mamak stall in Ampang. The food was delicious and we had our moments together as a family and chatted away. From the pictures below, i can see that both of them missed each other a lot. Sweet.

Second Day

We woke up late that morning and had our breakfast at the lobby around 0930 Hrs. I ate so much until i could not bear to eat lunch in the afternoon. But i did.

We ate nasi beriyani at the Ruz Aladdin Ampang before we said goodbye to Hafiz and his girlfriend, Zila who sent us to the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan that evening.

How To Cook A Simple Butter Broccoli

New and simple recipe to try on for a non-cook like me. Good luck!

Ingredients
A bunch of broccoli (Cut into pieces)
4-5 gloves of garlic (Chopped)
3-4 spoons of butter
Tad bit of salt
Tad bit of pepper

Method
Heat a non-stick pan and put the butter onto it.

When it is already melted, add the garlics.

Wait for few minutes, then add the broccoli as well as salt and pepper. Stir-fry.

How To Cook A Simple Carbonara Spaghetti

Hi! I have been wanting to post this recipe for so long but did not get the chance. My niece, Hanis has been asking for it while Farouk requested that i cook it once more. I guess they really like it. So, here is the recipe :-

Ingredients
500 grams of spaghetti (Any brand will do)
1 tin of Frego Carbonara
Some chicken or beef cubes
Some red onions (Chopped)
Some garlics (Chopped)
1/2 cup of fresh milk (I use low fat milk)
1 spoon or 2 of butter
Tad bit of oil
Tad bit of salt
Tad bit of pepper
Tad bit of parsley leaves

Method
Cook the spaghetti as usual. Put some oil / butter into the pot before boiling it to prevent from sticking.

Heat a non-stick pan, sprinkle some oil and pour a mixture of red onions and garlics onto the pan until they are well-cooked.

Once cooked, pour the carbonara sauce together with the chicken / beef cubes and stir it until the mixture becomes sticky.

Then, slowly pour the milk into the sauce until it is creamy.

Lastly, add salt and pepper as well as some parsley leaves for decoration.

Good luck!
