The Battle...

Habibi, as the 'commander', arranged his battalion for the war.....*giggle*

I was amazed to see the way he lined up his toy soldiers, angry birds and aliens to get ready for the battle. Kids do learn from playing and spontaneously do express their feelings and experiences through drawings too....so does Habibi. I will post some of his drawings about soldiers and wars soon...(^,^)...

My BP vs Pulse Rate

My appointment with the Cardiac Department will be on the 31st October (Monday). I feel slightly nervous too because I do not know anything about the stress test that will be conducted. But through some discussions with my colleagues....the stress test will need me to walk on the treadmill. I will undergo several stages of the brisk walk sessions with different speed levels.....(>.<).....

Oh ya...why am I referred to this department?

It is all because of several palpitations that I experience. Now...I can control my mind....but still sometimes....it occurs again that needs me to relax myself and keep things easy....! The doctor said, I have to be wise in managing my stressfulness and be more positive in life.

Each day....at different times of the day...I will keep checking my BP. I notice....despite the normal BP measurements, generally my pulse will always be in the range of 85 -95 per minute. This is considered high....the doctor says so. It seldom goes 70 plus. *sigh*

I keep on praying to Allah that everything will be normal with my heart and wishing Allah to bestow me with strength to face the days and any probabilities with total calmness.... Amin...

If you guys have the same experiences as me...please do share with me...so that I won't feel alone having this kind of unpredictable case. Tnx..

Around My Parents' Crib

The fruit trees planted by my parents are bearing fruits. Every drop of sweat shed by them is now showing some continuous good returns. Like this longan tree, it never stop bearing fruits. I used to love eating these longan fruits but now I have to lessen the intake as I would eventually end up with tonsillitis!

Hubby has to use a ladder to pick the longans which are mostly unreachable. So before these longans become the monkeys' feast....better be hurry!

I wonder if you know about these fruits? They are called 'tarap' here....

Another one below....the 'karamunting' fruit. This type of fruits are almost extinct already.


And the mulberries.....how I wish I had good green hands like my parents....I know they take care of their plants with love....

Happy Birthday Sarra' Sofiyya

Alhamdullilah....my niece...Sarra' Sofiyya is now 1 year old. Time flies really fast. She is sharing her birthday with my mother who is turning 62 and my brother is 27 *ehem bila nak kawin ooiii* .

My sis and bro-in-law treated us at Aneka Rasa Restaurant last Sunday. The birthday girl is right in the middle and of course our two kids were the most over-excited ones! Love you all...

Wishing Them Well There...

My parents-in-law, brother-in-law and sister-in-law had gone to Mecca Saudi Arabia to perform haj. It was such a serene moment when they are leaving home accompanied by the call of prayer. We sent them off to the airport and as expected, there were a sea of people. We wish my family-in-law and the other Muslim pilgrims in the world who are now performing their haj there will be under Allah's protection and blessings...amin..amin..amin..

It's Pizza Time!

Habibati helped me out in the kitchen to make a pizza. I only used a pizza base that I bought from a supermarket.

There it went into the oven for 15 minutes only.

Habibati and Habibi cut the pizza together.

Our girl loves pizza very much but not our Habibi. He only prefers to eat the crust only...LOL

Sweet Sour Mussels

I was craving for some mussels...as a result...I cooked this for our dinner last night. I love the bright colours the vegies had brought up. A simple one but delicious enough to satisfy my craving...(^_^)...

An Afternoon Walk & Ride

I will have my stress test appointment with the Cardiac Department at the end of this month
...(*.*)...thus I need to keep my stamina well. I know it is gonna be very 'stressful' as the days approach...but I set my mind positively that everything is going to be ok.....amin....


We start to do some 'healthy' outings....doing the brisk walk for hubby and I....and cycling for the kids. I need to do more exercises *new adaptation* hehe

The Must-Have Ones....

Although hari raya is over but the memories are still fresh in my mind. When I browsed the uploaded pictures taken during the festive season, I found the pictures of my mom's all-time favourite snacks a.k.a the 'must-have'....(--,)....

Not only they were the 'must-have' but they ignited my childhood's memories too. I used to eat these junkies around at school with my friends. However...now....I have to lessen the intake of these junkies due to my health factors...*gulped*

The preserved pitted plum....


We use to call these 'buah kana'......sedappppp!


The dried squids.....


The shredded dried squids.....


The sugar tamarind balls....I really love munching them especially during my PMS...(66,)...


The garlic peanuts and dried clams......yummy!

Thank You Mr Hubby

My kids just had their battery-operated motorcycles for their hari raya gifts. Not only the kids....the very very important Madame entitles a gift too...right...(^,^)....

Introducing my new baby gadget....

The functions are almost like the Apple iphone...but the size of this Samsung Galaxy Tab is bigger than the iphone. However...it is smaller than that Apple Ipad...(^_^)....

I was so lucky to have that pink pouch.....

This tab is very practical too....I can use it 'to keep calm' the kids in the car!

Thank you so much Mr Hubby.....love you always.....
