When Ayah was live on Tv...

These were the reactions of our girl when she saw Ayah was live on TV. She wanted to go inside the TV too! She told her wishes to play with the Disney's cartoons and to dance with Barbie too! What made me laugh...she even tried to force her head into the TV monitor..imagining that she would go into the cartoons' imagination world....*giggles*

She gave Ayah a kiss on the cheek....

All the best, my dearest brother..

Jimmy left for UK yesterday night. I felt so heavy-hearted to let him go although I knew it was just impossible. It was different to our parents and my middle brother.....they did not even shed a single tear but not for me and my sister. We felt so touched to be apart...He will be studying at this university. At first I can't pronounce the word...hehehe...
At the waiting hall...... Habibi was in Ayah's arm...bottle-feeding... Habibi was so tired that he took a nap there...of course after being very very active running here and there. He was kept warm by Usu's sweater (*;*) Habibati was being very active too...see...she said she wanted to climb up the pillar! Ayah had to become her 'bodyguard a.k.a security' ! I had to grab her tightly to get our picture snapped. Habibati and her uncle (my middle brother)....they seemed to be having a 'bargain'....I knew she forced him to open the door as she was curious of the inside. Cherishing the mother-son bonding time before leaving... My pregnant younger sister and Jimmy... With his friends... Their bonding time...sharing the potato chips and pepsi. Whatttt????? pepsi??? Yea...she sipped a little by little...then she said she liked it very much! Ayah should have bought her Milo instead! All of us here who love you very much are wishing you all the best and we know u CAN DO it...you will always be in our prayers....Insya Allah we will unite again soon....amin...

The Fat-So Birthday Burger

This is a giant FAT-SO Hulk Hogan burger that we ordered online (FB). It costs BND$25 and it's specialty is that the beef patty is home-made. We love the spicy taste of the beef patty.
It is specially for Jimmy again.....
This was taken in my mom's kitchen...ehehe...my mom asked my dad to change into a 'better' t-shirt..but he refused...hehehe...as a token of memory for you dearest brother...

Celebrating Jimmy's 20th Birthday..

Jimmy is my youngest brother and is going to leave for UK soon to futher his studies in aeronautical engineering. Thank goodness...that we were able to celebrate his birthday here. It was just a simple celebration at the nearby restaurant.

I have mixed-feelings...happy + sad...as he is leaving soon for 3 years. We have never been apart...and he used to be very attached and closed to me when he was a little boy *I am the eldest* and I happened to my ex-pupil too...!
The icecream cake bought by my sister...
Our VVIP's
Habibi looked bored...not until he saw the icecream birthday cake.

Both the niece and nephew just could not wait to blow the candle! *photo not in good quality*

Happy Birthday My Dearest Baby Bro...May all your dreams come true...we HEART you very much...

Hunting for Habibati's Tudongs

This happened before the festive season hari raya when Habibati uttered some sweet words to me that she would love to wear a 'tudong'. I was speechless at first but still managed to put on a smile on my face and convinced her that we would look for the tudongs as soon as possible. She happily agreed. However a question came into my heart and mind...would I ever be able to hunt for the tudongs when hari raya was just around the corner?...and I didn't like to be caught in the traffic jams....!

Luckily, there was an International Ramadhan Bazaar going on at the closed stadium. So both of us went there and I was glad that there was no traffic jam as it was still early (around 10 plus in the morning). Habibati wore my scarf on that day too (*;*)
See.....the target was buying some tudongs only...but Habibati just could not resist to buy watches @~@....although she has so many watches already. The above picture shows that she wanted to buy one for her brother too...!
There are lots of booths selling and promoting new products for the festive season. After going rounds...I managed to get 5 pieces for Habibati...these cute little tudongs are Indonesian-made. Habibati was very excited too. Beside these...she bought 2 little rings, a hello Kitty watch and a Ben10 watch for her brother. And for me...I had bought myself 2 packets of "Rempah Bubur Pedas" from Sarawak. Oh my....I really love to eat this exotic Sarawakian delicacy. It is very hard to find this ready-made spice here ^_^

~~~Our sweethearts.......peace!~~~

Hari Raya Mode

Our living room has transformed into something 'nicer' as hubby and I managed to carry out our 'duties' peacefully when the kids were asleep. But most of the times...the kids were actively involved in the process of the transformation! (*,*)

This is my favourite corner of the living room.....
Hubby's idea.....
The kids' love to sit and 'disturb' this zone...
See....see....*giggles*
The kids seem to be very excited with the 'make over' although we believe they have not yet understood about what actually hari raya is all about. *LOL*

Ok now...just pretend we are having hari raya here...these are what we have to serve you with....
These are the cookies....*clock-wise* biskut sagu, biskut coffee rangup and my homemade biskut sarang semut. Actually I also have my must-have kueh mor...but purposely I do not serve it...as our kids will always make a mess with it....I ordered the kueh mor for "personal feast" only!

Now let's us go down the memory lane....
This picture of hubby and I was drawn by a Malaysian caricaturist when we visited the Aquaria KLCC back in 2005. I wasn't satisfied with the outcome as I could not see 'us' in the caricature. My hubby looked like Hail Amir instead! hehehehehe I treasure the above picture....we were in Langkawi on our honeymoon in 2001...I can't recall the name of the hotel but it was located by the beach. Habibati's ultra sound printed pictures and her picture few minutes after her birth....she was very pink when she was born.
Thanksgiving ceremony...
More caricatures and carbon portraits...
Sweet moments when the kids were small....
The collection of old vases...but I have to keep these vase 'dried-flowerless' this year as Habibi loves to pull the dried flowers sticks and use them as his weapons....!

Not many real plants kept in-door as the kids can't get their "hands off" these fellows....*will post the stories next time*Another personal treasures....the dried roses presented by hubby....some of them were already too old and dried to be kept...so I had to throw them away...*expecting MORE roses from you dearest soul-mate a.k.a hubby*

Ok...selamat hari raya....maaf zahir dan batin....
