Hiya guys!I am back and sorry for the sudden dissapearance. Thanks to Adam and OB, for if it wasn't their concern I would not have returned much earlier than expected. Yes, I had been held back by few commitments that require my entire time and energy.First of all, it is great to be back. I hope you'd continue visiting as your visits are the reason for me to blog.There are so many things to blog

...but Bread and Butter !Today we had bread and butter pudding for dessert. (Well, actually I ate it well before dinner but the rest, ate it for dessert). It was my first attempt preparing such a desert. I am not particularly keen on raisins when it comes to dessert but I guess this one is not too bad.It wasn't one of the spur of the moment kinda thing. Mrs Z is nearly 5 months pregnant and is

Today I am practically a zombie.I slept at 3-4 in the morning, woke up with eyes wide opened at 6am. Since it is soon summer, the sun is already up as early as 5am. So at 6am this morning, looked out the window and thought it is already 10 am but when I looked at the clock, No, it is only 6 am!I couldn't go back to sleep. No, not that I couldn't but I can't.It's already 8.15 am now. Am feeling

There were two plates. Each was nicely filled with two medium toasts and scrambled eggs. Realising that I hadn't made enough scrambled eggs for another 2 plates, I reached for another egg from the chicken porcelain thingy Ms Z has in her kitchen.I was blankly staring at the water tap as I cracked open the one egg that I had taken, into LO's favourite bowl. As I looked down at the bowl to give it

A photo of the Alleycats and Datuk Jimmy Choo.Thought that it'd be great to share it with you here. I've written about their live gig in Colindale where you could read it here : Alleycats Live:)

We had started the journey from Basingstoke at around quarter to 3 and arrived Colindale about half past 5. Had underestimated the traffic in central London hence, the delay. *Fingers crossed* . Half of me was saying that we might not make it (to meet Allyecats) and the other me, just stayed optimistic. I was told that the show will begin at 4pm but had no idea how long the show is for.

In a few hours time we will be watching Alleycats at the front of our very eyes. *can't wait*.I remember when I was an undergraduate about 6 yrs ago, Pak Uda came to visit me at the university. He was on a-year course with the British Aerospace and since Farnborough is not that far from my place, he decided to spend the weekend with me. And so he drove a hired MPV, along with 5 other Malaysian

Right after my last salam (zuhur prayer) , LO sneaked into the room. Seeing her looking at me, I held out my arms and as fast as a flash, she ran towards me and we hugged."You like mummy hug you?""Yeah!!" *nods sheepishly*"You love mummy?""Yes, of course!""How much?" our cheeks brush each other's."Um, TEN!

Note: Do click on photos for clearer, bigger images.The visit to Avebury was one memorable visit. Avebury is a place situated between two small towns, Marlborough and Beckhampton (not David Beckham alright?). Both towns are equally beautiful in their own senses, although the sights of long fir trees, hilly sides and wandering stallions in Marlborough looked more appealing to me. As we were

We had a brilliant day today visiting Avebury Circle and West Kennet Long Burrow. However, I am just too tired to blog about it tonight. Uploading photos would take a while for it is an AOL dial up that we are using.After dinner and a hot shower, as usual, at the dining table, read several previous D Mirrors bought by Z.

This is certainly one good news. Living (would be actually) in Selangor and loving photography, I could as well earn extra money.Read this article in Malay:Littering in SelangorImagine if you could snap 4 photos of people littering.

I have to say, I am lousy at keeping in touch with friends. Before, I was busy with completing my studies and usually when I am entangled in work I refuse to correspond with friends for I felt a bit paranoid when people asking me how my work is progressing (eventually they start asking that you know). The completion of my study was a bumpy ride and that is another story. I am just glad to say

Daisies.My daughter is a big fan of flowers. Her favourite ones are daisies. Here, daisies are almost everywhere. Whereever we go, LO would stop to pick some if any caught her eyes, afterwhich she'd turn and present them to me ."For mummy!"Seconds later.."More! For mummy!"..and I'd end up having several daisies in my pockets.I think it must have started when she was 1 or 2. I used to stroll her (

It was a very sunny day and we had decided to go to Highclere Castle near Newbury. After a quick shop in Boots for our daily toiletries and an hour lunch at Pizza Hut, we headed for Newbury. It wasn't that far from Basingstoke. About 40 mins drive.Highclere castle is an astounding castle with its exterior well preserved and it is surrounded with massive green fields.

How inconsiderate people can be sometimes. Yesterday after returning from the university, we found there wasn't a single available space to park our humble car. There was a tiny red car parked inconsiderately in a large space that seemed to my eyes, ample for accomodating two cars (the distances of the cars at the left and right of the tiny car are a distant away but the spaces were too tiny to

I have always wanted to blog about Basing House, a historical ruin that we had visited a month ago, but never had the time to do so. With a few things off my sleeve now, I am eager to briefly blog about it.Basing House was basically a habitation (sort of like a village), started since the Iron Age. Houses were built out of mud and the village was surrounded with a moat to keep away enemies. It

Tiring, Daunting and Exhausting.I am sooooo done with moving houses. It has been tiring and nerve-wrecking. Well, on the concise side of the story I should say that waiting 2 days for the 'specialist' international movers had been really nerve wrecking, especially when they have promised you to arrive at an arranged day and time but simply didn't turn up. 2 days in a row, promise after promise.

I'm in the midst of moving to a new apartment. A lot to do, and so little time in hand. I shall continue blogging once I've settled down.

Today, we have been delayed by a shipping company which I think is currently running a silence campaign. A week ago, we had confirmed a date and time for our personal effects to be picked up today. TO-DAY. And today, as daunting as you could ever imagined, we have waited up up to 3 hours..no signs of them. And so DH made that one phone call."So what did they say?""They're a little bit short on

My wonderful Tuesday afternoon was hastily interrupted by the phone ringing. Concedingly knowing that I was inevitably the one who has to pick it up (DH was off to the Post Office) I eventually, politely greeted the person on the other line, albeit half-heartedly."Hello?""G'afternoon madam. We are calling from *** window glazing and err, bllllthhh ...conservatories..bllllth""err....sorry?"

Of course what mothers want are only the best for their darling children. Children are what they treasure most for these youngsters are to become adults, grow wise, succesfully build their lifes and careers around them and eventually take care of the mother as responsibility is reversed. Nobody can deny the fact that your children are most treasured when you are a shaky, flabby and all-wrinkly

Last week, during SIL brief visit we were given two boxes of Malaysian delicacies. One box of peanut biscuit ( ala..from the look of it on the box, like the ones you would find during hari raya..something like kuih raya lah!) and the other, Malaysian Muruku. I was overjoyed. To receive something Malaysian is greatly appreciated. You'd eventually appreciate anything Malaysian when you are abroad.

Have you ever thought of how astute you are going to be or have been with naming your child? A neat and beautiful name (given to a child) might end up being shorten to a nick that may sound cute and sweet to loved ones BUT ridiculous to others. People may say name is just a name; how could it possibly be more hurtful than an earful of ridiculed teases? After all, life goes on and as you grow up,

As I was writing the previous post, the news showed Delia Smith, ( if you have been following my blog from day one, the BBC Saturday Kitchen cook) shouting at Norwich City fans on the footie ground during Norwich City-Manchester City match.Having bought the club, she is the director of the Norwich City FC.I am not a great fan of footie , let alone on a less popular club such as Norwich City. So I

I feel guilty for not updating this blog for the past few days. The fact that I have fall short on things to blog and at the same time been unwell, has caused the brief hiatus on entries. Also, I have less time to read blogs and hence, my creativity has gone stunted. And, have been busy too. Excuses, excuses.OK...I have been unwell. We concluded that it could have been kangkung* we ate few days

~~~~DH has been probing me about me not updating the blog for the past 4 days. I haven't got anything interesting to blog about these few days. And now I foresee that I'd be 10 times busier...but hope to be able to update as frequent as possible.Just stay tuned!~~~~

For 'A Tale of Two Sisters'.I find this movie intruiging and mind blowing. I love this movie. Although it is a horror movie, the fact that it is well-laid with excellent cinematography and storyline, it is indeed an A+ movie..Aiya...I could be a promoter, but really, I love this movie. The thing I love most about it is the soundtrack. The music blends beautifully in every scene. It is a story

The Malays share quite the same language as Indonesians. We share some of the same words although some may be of different usage in Bahasa Melayu (the Malay Language) as opposed to that used by Indonesians. Pretty much, we Malays may understand what is conversed by Indonesians and vice versa.Let me give you a similar scenario, like the Hoch-Deutsch used by Germans and the Bern-Deutsch by Swiss

We had a trip to Tesco today for that quick shop of groceries. However our quick trip had been procrastinated by our girl wanting a toy. So, being the sporting parents ever (cehwah..), we gave in and decided to spend some extra minutes on the children's aisle to see what she really wanted. So we pushed the cart right by where Barbie dolls were shelved. "Right...you want doll?" ... and she shaked

I woke up one morning and soon was educated by Dearie Husband about the danger of consuming soya (soy oil??) and how consuming it could affect your health. Apparently, he has stumbled upon an online article by John Thomas, MD based in the States, regarding the danger of consuming soya-based product. I was totally taken aback as I have always been told that soya is brain food, high in protein. I

Last Monday we watched Channel 4 documentary about a Russian girl with remarkable X-Ray visions, Natasha Demkina.She is an ordinary teenage girl with an extraordinary ability in lurking through people's body and organs such as an X-Ray machine itself. What was shocking, her vision is so pellucid that she is even able to see virus and alien microogranism that could be contained within infected
