Cooking Activities with My Princess

I always wanted to do this... good oven and kitchen really important to encourage me to do more activities in the kitchen. This includes cooking with my loved little one.

Last nite, while daddy went out to do some groceries, Lana and I have some secret activities in the kitchen. Lana wanted to surprise daddy with the cupcakes. Alhamdulillah we managed to finish baking and decorating the cupcake just in time. And by time daddy is home... we surprised daddy with the cupcakes....

Walla....

Terimbau Zaman Sheffield, UK

Oh I must put this... to all my sizzlers friend... ku jumpa barang2 di bawah at one hypermarket here in Khobar, Saudi. They really reminds me of our time in Sheffield last time.. ha.. kan best kalo kita buat trip balik sheffield pastu sewa semalam dua kat havelock street or brunswick...

Walkers > Kegilaan semua org... Anne paling suka yg vinegar version. Anne dah selamat tunang ke?

Mcvities > Antara benda wajib ada kat dapur.. tapi kita selalu beli yg version murah sket dulu kan? Time study kena jimat2

Muller Yogurt > This is my favourite. Macam nak menjerit dalam hypermarket tuh bila nampak yogurt nih... dah berapa tahun tak jumpa.....

Cadbury Hot Chocolate > Ini favourite hana... sedap betul minum hot chocolate time sejuk2 nih

Changes: Adapting to one

Wah, mencabar jugak menjaga anak2 di rumah.... i am just 2 weeks full time mother and now i am down with cough and slight fever. Ya Allah, kuatkan semangat hamba-mu ini.... Actually whole house are down with fever, cough and flu, weather changes i guess. This time mommy cannot manja2 sakit amik MC hahaha.. u sakit u still have to continue the routine, plus no more bibik around this time to help. huhuhuh.

Frankly i am enjoying what i am doing rite now, just being a bit flat - kena boost up energy level nih. Exercise dah lama tinggal sudah... kena start back exercise then only can be more energetic and motivated.... "ok encik husband, hopefully adala apa2 alat exercise yg menarik kat rumah ye mengenangkan saya tak bley keluar rumah sendirik di sini"... :)

Saya rasa sungguh puas skrg as all my kids will be around me most of the time and they will get to me anytime they wanted... tapi agak penat la gak sebab si kecik twin masih belum pandai bertoleransi antara satu sama lain.. jealousy level among them quite high.... pening jugak la nak handle and satisfy everyone. Paling kesian Princess Lana keseorangan sebab mommy tak sempat layan :(

Now, with a nice oven in the kitchen, i enjoy cooking delicious and healthy food for the family. I am now feeding hubby and kids really well and not to forget feeding my ownself well. Oh no... the last one is not good... not good. I just bought a weighing scale recently just to watch out my weight. My mom keep on encouraging me to eat more and more as i have been too skinny since having the twin huhuh...

Some of the accomplishment so far....

Playtime @ Saudi Playground

Went out to compound playground with baby Mia, our new neighbour. Thanks to ummi Mia for inviting us for the walk. Kalo tak, mmg kami duduk memerap dalam rumah je la mommy nih :P timing tido masing2 semua lain2 and I cant imagine myself handling the 3 kids alone outside the house.

Pukul 3 tuh mesti ada one of the kids having their nap. Fortunately yesterday, erfan and sophie tak tido siang. Just need to wake lana from her nap. The kids were very excited being out of house during daytime. Usually we will get out from house after isya' prayer. As now we are in saudi cold season, the day time is short. Maghrib prayer is around 440pm and isya will be around 620pm

Playtime at the playground here in saudi is equivalent to playtime with the sand huhhu.... next time bawak sand castle bucket pon syok gak. Balik rumah, for sure kasut penuh dengan pasir.

3 Days and Counting

Well, time really flies here. Insyallah, 3 more days to go for me to go back home to see my wife and kids n family .. can't wait and can't really focus in the office now...hahhaha...

After all the hassle with the courier service provider and long wait, Alhamdulillah we managed to buy a new set of "toy" for our twins. It is called the "Sit and Stroll" as shown in the picture below. Cool car seat that can be converted into stroller in seconds! Thanks to my wife for coming out with this idea of buying this for our twins. It would have been much expensive if we had purchased this item from the US, coz you can't get this item in Malaysia.

The best thing about this car seat is that it can be used in Airplane and it has the certification from FAA. Insyallah, hopefully those plushy cushion will make our journey with the kids more enjoyable and less stressful.

Observation- Oct 27th 2010

- Poor housekeeping after work by the Pakistani contract workers... Imagine plastic wrappings and sealing straps are all over the places along the pavement. They simply don't know how to pick up those stuffs and get rid of it. What a clear attitude problem. Kalo macam nih keje kat Esso, dah lama kena kick out from the refinery by the refinery manager... hahha

- Temperature is getting lower and it gets foggy in the morning, extremely dangerous to drive. But these Pak Arabs still drive bloody fast and crazy.
