first bag wishlist for 2013

My first bag wishlist for 2013 is a crossbody bag.

I think a crossbody bag is the most 'practical' bag when you have a small kid. It's easy as you can sling the bag while handling your child.

I have been eyeing few design from coach :)

Problem is.........

I cannot decide which one I should get (should I get all of them? matila encek K baca ni)

I love the new leather collection. Full of colour and the bag looks solid and of course very practical.

Price wise pun sangat ok coz coach brand won't exactly create such a big hole in your pocket!

Plus this year I think I wanna add some colour to my small bag collection. Selalu sangat brown or black or grey. So I'm thinking a pop of colour would be nice.

Hmmm let's see...

Which one should I get????

Can somebody help me???

1. coach legacy leather willis

coach legacy leather willis in vermillion

coach legacy archival 2 tone leather willis

spot on some celebrities, comel kan kan? cepat cakap comel!

2. coach madison leather annabelle

pun cantik kan???

arghhhh lawa jugak kuning ni kan

3.  coach legacy leather duffle

This bag is the biggest amongst this 3 bags.

So I'm more confused since 'saya adalah pencinta beg besar bagak', sebab senang nak sumbat semua benda.

uwaaaa also nice

why why why??

colourblock pun nice

as seen on Kristen Bell and Rachel Bilson arghhhh lawaaa

Decisions... Decisions...

Which one?

Langkawi Day 1

Day 1

Trip to Langkawi ni actually nak bawa my BIL and SIL pergi honeymoon. Kiranya honeymoon berjemaah la ni. Besides my in-laws memang dah lama tak pergi jenjalan, so kiranya kami tumpang sekali la. I even brought my mom along. So kiranya dua-dua nenek Miqa pun ikut for this trip. Total 11 people for this rombongan cik kiah including si kecik.

At Subang Airport

Yang comel ni BIL n SIL saya. FIL in white and MIL yang tengah cakap phone tu.

Langkawi here we come!!

Si kecik yang tidur all the way kat airport, bangun time nak naik flight, good boy!

Husbang and wifey yang giler gelemer

We took the afternoon flight, 1.55pm at Subang Airport, lama dah tak pergi Subang Airport, merasa la jugak semua orang naik Firefly, before this selalu naik Air Asia je. Subang Airport ni jauh lagi tenang dari LCCT, boleh makan and minum dengan aman, unlike LCCT yang sentiasa penuh manusia. Anyhoo, flight was on time, not delayed but the landing was a bit rough, tak tau kenapa. My mom hampir-hampir nak termuntah dah time landing.

Tapi yang paling best si kenit lah, he passed being on a plane with flying colours (alaaa 50 minuites punye flight je lah pun kan). Thank you iPad and thank you Special Agent OSO for accompanying Miqa on this flight. Tak berbunyik langsung the whole journey. Full concentration on iPad watching Special Agent OSO. Me and encek K rasa sungguh lega yang amat.

We landed at 3.05pm and terus dah ada kereta sewa tunggu, BIL yang uruskan. Coz 11 orang so sewa lah 3 kereta, 2 myVi and one Nissan Sentra. Me, encek K, my mom and Miqa naik myVi orange yang comel je. Rate sewa kereta kami dapat RM80 per day per car. So total is RM240 x 4 = RM960 for four days. Kira murah jugak la rasanya.

Naik je kereta terus shoot pergi hotel for check in. Encek K jadi marshall drive ke hotel coz he is quite familiar with Langkawi, dia baru je pergi Langkawi for his work few months ago. So dia memang hafal jugak la jalan.

We headed to Awana Porto Malai Langkawi, which was situated at the very end of Pantai Cenang. I booked 5 deluxe garden view rooms in Awana Porto Malai Langkawi via Resort World website. Please do not walk-in if you want to stay here, they will charge you double the online rate. Please do your booking online, for sure dapat jimat banyak sangat.

Hello Awana :)

Facilities is quite good but needs to be refurbish

Masa check in tu, I saje je tanya if we can get a free upgrade to Sea View Room. Deal punya deal punya deal, last-last they gave a good offer, pay RM50 per room to get upgraded to Sea View room with balcony for three nights. Apa lagi, I pun terus upgrade kan semua bilik jadi sea view room with balcony. Semua orang happy je dapat bilik mengahadap laut. So we paid about RM200 per night per sea view room with breakfast.

The rooms I would say ok-ok aje. We got 2 queen size beds in every room. So agak selesa especially bila ada anak kecik kan, takdela berhimpit-himpit satu katil. The rest of the room is just basic things. For me the room maybe kena update sikit coz perabot semua dah lama. But one plus point is when you walked out at the balcony the view is for sure priceless. Miqa pun dapat main bola kat balcony coz it's a huge balcony. Pemandangan sangat cantikkkk yang amattttttttttttt and very very peaceful. I would definitely come here again just for the sake of the view.

Our room partially, katil satu lagi Miqa dah sepahkan haha.

View from the balcony Masya Allah lawanya.

encek K menikmati sunset before we headed for dinner

Tapi yang tak best our rooms were not ready at that time, yang ready pun 2 bilik je padahal dah dekat pukul 5 petang. Lagi 3 bilik tak ready lagi. Terus I amukan kat reception, baru lah immediately dapat bilik. Geram je. Hellooo, kalau datang pukul 2pm I fahamla orang baru check out, ni dah pukul 5pm okay. What the fish betul la, saje nak bikin panas. Miqa pun dah cranky time tu coz dah penat plus lapar kot. Moral of the story:  Sila jangan naikkan kemarahan wanita yang ada anak kecil yang dah cranky. Bila anak cranky, mak nye pasti lagi lah kesabaran menipis.

Around 6pm barula semua orang dapat bilik. After settled check-in semua orang rehat kat bilik and dalam 7pm we left for dinner. Again, encek K jadi marshall bawak kami makan kat Medan Selera Nelayan, MIL and FIL requested makan seafood that night. Apparently tempat ni memang famous kat Langkawi. tapi kedai dia memang sempoi, jalan nak masuk ke dalam medan selera ni pun takde signboard. You will know about this restaurant if you asked around.

Makan 10 orang dewasa kena RM280.00, which I think is dead cheap la kan. Kalau kat Jalan Alor KL tak tau la kena berapa. Even FIL pun cakap murah coz we ordered 3 ekor ikan (siakap, jenahak, bawal putih), udang butter, sotong tepung, lala masak sweet sour, pepahat masak sambal, sayur kailan and terung bakar.

After dinner, pusing-pusing Kuah sekejap and headed back to our hotel untuk berehat. Day 2 memang ada banyak aktiviti so kena recharge sepenuhnya.

nenek melayan si kecik yang memangla mengada-ngada sangattt

highly recommended, masakan sedap and reasonable price

serbuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Will continue next week ya as I will be on leave for 5 days yippieee!



Holiday Withdrawal Syndrome

I am back in the office :(

Currently suffering from holiday withdrawal syndrome.

4days 3nights in Langkawi is just not enough.

Need more holidays asap!

I will blog about my trip to Langkawi soon.

For now, some pictures will do.

We took Firefly to Langkawi.

Matchy matchy wearing denim on denim geddit?

Kasik chance ye :)

Stayed at Awana Porto Malai Langkawi

Seaview room, view from the balcony is definitely to die for

Miqa during breakfast.

Breakfast was on the dock, and by the sea. View is definitely priceless.

Kenangan terindah

Jeng.. Jeng.. Jeng..

I was cleaning our store room few weeks back..

And..

I found this.....!!!!

Our ID from good ol' UNITEN days :) :) :)

Been looking for it for some time and I really thought we lost it, but hey it was kept neatly in one of my old handbags. Syukran.

Don't cha think we look innocent cute on our IDs? Muahahahahaha...

Looking at the ID made me remembered all the good times in UNITEN.

THE PLACE where me and encek K met.

Tempat jatuh cinta we olls!

How we met was another story la kan, maybe, just maybe one day I will share it here.

Back then rasa macam kurang masalah je kot.

Yelah, studying time was the best time in our life kan.

You don't have to think that much kan.

Eventhough tak banyak duit and takde kereta (kami naik scooter biru ye), kami happy je.

Ada duit makan KFC, takde duit ambil nasi menggunung satu pinggan, ambil 2 lauk makan share sama-sama.

Back then The Mines tu dah kira paling happening dah.

Kalau pergi MidValley or KLCC kira gempak kebabom dah.

Back then in Uniten the most famous and the first question people will ask me when they bumped into me was: "Boroy mana?"

And vice versa for him: "Jai mana?"

Memang muka kitorang ni dah ada cop mohor masing-masing kot.

Tak kira kat mana, kat COE ke, kat COIT ke, kat padang ke, kat UPTEN ke, semua tanya soalan yang sama.

Gosh, rasa rindu pulak kat Uniten.

Kami yang happening lepak Hartamas Square sampai pepagi buta hokay jangan jeles.

Persoalannya sekarang, kenapakah sekarang kami tak kurus macam dalam gambar di atas ni? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr



Last day ;)

Today is my last day in the office for this week. I loike!

I will be heading for a short getaway with le familia tomorrow. I double loike this!

Which reminds me I haven't finished packing just yet. Blerghh!

Packing for two ain't easy my friend, especially when you are packing for a baby.

You have to have a checklist so that you will not forget anything.

And yes, the checklist can go on forever.

In my case, I have to bring standby meds for Miqa since he just recovered from his fever, flu and cough.

He has recovered 95% I would say, ada batuk sikit je lagi, but we will bring all his meds just in case you know.

Also on standby is his thermometer and Koolfever, both can become very handy at times.

Anyhow, back to the little guy, he's now back to himself; all cheerful and active as usual. Alhamdulillah.

And I think I did mention in one of my previous posts that he is the number one fan of Special Agent OSO!

Don't know why memang since Miqa faham tengok TV memang Special Agent OSO ni je yang dia akan tengok from start till end. For the rest of the cartoons, he will just listen to the intro song and then continues playing with his toys.

 So last Sunday morning me and encek K together with Miqa la kan, had our breakfast at a mamak nearby our house.

It was a cold and rainy morning; hence explaining the hoody sweater.

Idok lerr kami ni gila nak pakaikan Miqa sweater di tengah-tengah panas kan.

Miqa had some capati sambil melayan Special Agent OSO.

Memang Kay-El habis la anak mommy ni coz macam suka je lepak mamak lama-lama :p

But good thing was, Miqa leka lah jugak tengok OSO that morning, so dapatla mommy and daddy makan dengan tenang.

Daddy memang rajin layan Miqa :)

Now that Miqa dah sihat, macam biasa la, can layan mommy cam-whoring again!

Noticed his short hair? No more curly murly hair dah :'(

Well, nenek dah potong rambut Miqa, sebab nenek risau Miqa asyik demam, nenek cakap kepala Miqa dah berat so kena la potong rambut. Rindu jugak rambut awan nano Miqa tu.

But, honestly he looks like a big boy now.
Nampak bebenau dah besar anak mommy la.

Dah bujang sangat. Mommy no likey

Oklah, that's all for this week kot.

I have to go prepare myself physically and mentally because tomorrow we will be taking flight for our getaway.

It will be the second time for Miqa boarding on a plane.

The first time was the trip to Bandung, and at that time tak pandai ape pun lagi, baru boleh duduk je.

Now duduk diam pun dah tak boleh, so me and encek K kena standby jadi energizer bunny tomorrow.

Wish us luck please.



Nothing to wear?

*LOL*

Came across this today.

Really made me laughed.

I somehow see myself in the same situation number of times already hahahahha..

(I think encek K will also 100% completely agree with me on this)

I bet most of you are/were in the same situation right?

Muahahhahahahhahaha..

Jangan marah aaaa.

Happy Friday u olls.

p.s: Miqa is feeling so much better as of yesterday evening! Yeay!



Miqa is down with fever

My little guy is down with fever, cough and flu :(

His temperature is quite high especially at night.

Sungguh merisaukan..

Haven't been able to sleep properly for 5 nights already, constant worry at night, I try to get up every few hours to check on him, sponge him, put koolfever and make sure he takes his medicine on time.

Definitely turning into zombie -__-

Encek K pulak is away on business trip.

But of course I'll do anything for my little boy.

Get well soon sayang.

Mommy misses your cheekiness.

Lagipun, if you are not well, who's gonna layan mommy cam-whoring everyday?

Mommy doakan Arfan Miqaeel cepat sembuh ye.

Tolong doakan jugak ye...

productive Saturday?

How was your weekend peeps?

Ours was a quiet one. Quiet = no outing, just chillaxing at home.

Encek K was working last Saturday, so it was just me and the little guy.

Actually it was quite a productive Saturday I must say.

Got up around 8am, did first batch of laundry and head off to Giant for some groceries with Miqa.

As usual had to bribe him first with his fave Dutch Lady Milk, or else, he will easily get bored and he will try to grabbed things off the shelf (alahai anak...)

rasuah Dutch Lady strawberry milk!

I was on my "rajin" mode on Saturday.

Told encek K earlier I wanted to make some roasted chicken with veggies, coleslaw and also mashed potatoes.

So I bought all the things that I needed and headed home.

At home, first things first, I cooked Miqa's porridge, then bathed him, then gave him milk, then sidai baju, then vacummed the house, then did the second laundry and then only started marinating my chicken.

I used a couple of garlic, olive oil, a bit of oyster sauce, black pepper, basil, thyme, paprika, chilli powder.

Campak everything (brocolli, cauliflower, carrot) including the chicken and leave it in the fridge.

For the coleslaw, I used cabbage and carrot then I add some coleslaw dressing, a bit of low fat milk, a bit of sugar and salt.

Unfortunately, I did not manage to do the mashed potato (gagal sungguh!)

No potatoes at home  -__-

 I didn't buy it earlier coz I thought I still have some potatoes at home, but there was actually none left (my bad la kan).

Anyhoots, I started to baked the whole thing when encek K was on his way home. About 30 minutes in the oven.

preparing the ingredients

before going into the oven

tadaaa!

Encek K gave the chicken two thumbs up ewahhhh!

But he said the coleslaw was a little dry *pftttttttttttttttttt*

But, he did finish up everything muahahahahha :) *lompat bintang sebab suami makan sampai licin*

After the late lunch, I did another set of laundry and put the little guy for his afternoon nap.

 Then.....wait for it.....

Drumroll please......

I managed to drag myself the gym that evening!  ^_^

Told ya it was a productive Saturday!

1.5 hours at the gym is better than no gym at all right?

And when I came home, both of my boys were still 'napping'.

After maghrib, all of us went back to hometown, as usual both nenek was already missing Miqa.

After 1.5 hours at the gym I don't feel so bad lah kan whacking nasi goreng ayam and yong tau foo soup!

First day in 2013

Well, amongst the things that I wanted to do more in 2013 is to write more on this blog.

So here goes a second entry for today.

Me and encek K didn't do much on the new year's day.

I went to the gym in the morning for Zumba class, then had homecooked lunch at home (durhh).

Encek K cooked nasi goreng ikan masin and re-heat some BBQ chicken (leftover from night before). Sorry I forgot to snap the picture as I was too hungry coming back from the gym.

After lunch, we headed to Alamanda to meet up with our friends for bowling game. Alamanda was packed as usual, but we were in luck coz we got our parking space immediately after entering. Miqa was already knocked out in the car, so we were at ease la kan.

We played three frames; well actually encek K and the rest of my friends did, I only managed to play one frame, coz Miqa woke up during the first frame and boy he was cranky! So I had to give up on the second and third frame to 'jaga' Miqa.

Before the last frame ended,encek K made one rule, he said the bottom three players will have to buy everyone else ice-cream. And what do you know, he was in bottom three muahahahhahahaha. Sorry sayang, better luck next time tau!

Enough babbling, here's some pictures:

Denim is is from mybajoo yo!

Yes, my online clothing shop is making a comeback this month insya Allah!

What I wore

Pose before the game starts. Go ahead and try to spot where's Miqa?

Ice cream paid by the bottom three guys  :p

After  ice-cream, all of us headed for quick dinner at RASA foodcourt.

Then, balik la apa lagi. Alamanda looked like sardine yesterday (even smelled like sardine), too many people.

Sounds boring kan? Maybe it's the age factor? We are a bunch of old people kot, hahaha.

But we had fun anyways.

And I did not buy anything eventhough I basically saw the SALE signage in every shop that I passed by.

Kudos to myself *pat on the back*
