SETIA INDAH

Last week, i went to MPH dengan kak Chah and her 2 angels, Dina (6 yrs old) n Ifan (4 yrs old).

"Linda pilihkan lah buku citer melayu utk Dina ni." Kak Chah requested.
"Ok no problem, Ifan tak yah ke?"
"Anak bujang aku sorang ni lain sikit. Tersa....ngat lah 'rajin' nak baca buku. Buku kat umah pun dia belum khatam lagi."
"Ooohhh eheh ok. Paham2.."

Choosing an appropriate stori book for 6 yrs old kid is not easy, unless we know very well her performance level. After much careful thought, however, I have decided on 2 interesting malay stori books; Lempeng Gergasi and %$%!#$ (haiyar tak ingat lah pulak tajuk lagi satu tu. Hisy apalah teruk no memori aku ni). Kak Chah agreed. While waiting Kak Chah for her another book hunting session, i just roaming around the book shelves and my eyes stucked pada buku2 Enid Blyton. Teringat kisah silam, dulu kecik2 suka baca2 buku Enid Blyton. I grew up with her mystery and adventure stories. Tapi tu memang dah lama sangat, and even dulu2 stori book Enid Blyton ni bukunya buruk2 sikit. Kertas kuning. Biler tgk terbitan baru ni, rasa jeles pulak. Childrens nowadays are soo lucky. Buku cantik2. Hardcover lagi. Uhuuuuu.. Jealous jealous. Ambil one of The Faraway Tree series. Its fantasy tales. Selak2 buku tu, hummph interesting. Rasa dah lama pulak tak baca buku2 fantasy cam ni. Looking at the price. RM11.90. Hah! Very very affordable lah. Kak Chah tercengang when she saw me carrying that book to the cashier. Finally i bought one of the series; "The Folk Of The Faraway Tree" for my ownself. Eheh.

"Awak nak beli utk sapa tu?"
"Aahahah, orang nak baca ar kak. Dah lama tak baca buku2 fairy tale cam ni. Eheh.."
"Hai awak nak jadi budak2 balik ek.." she gave her big grin.

Then off we went to Jusco to window2 shopping.

Nak mengarang, tapi masa tak mengizinkan. Tapi tangan rasa gatal nak post new entry. So just post you a simple birthday wish Afida. Hope you like this simple card created for you. (Eheh tiru idea Ura tampal2 card ni *wink*).

--------------
P/s: Petua cheese cake

1: Acuan- guna acuan spring foam. Gi kedai kek tanya acuan cheese cake, kalau acuan biasa susah nak potong nanti.

2: Cara bakar-need oven api atas dan bawah. Pas tuh u buat mcm double boiler (cake di bakar di atas bekas yg berisi air) Ini penting tau, kalau just bakar mcm biasa, gerenti tak menjadi cake tuh, texture dia jadi lain.

3: Last skali bila nak potong cheese cake always guna pisau yg dipanaskan dulu. Either nak panaskan ngan api or rendam dulu pisau tuh ngan air panas.

My reminder : Sediakan each portion separately and then baru masukkan sequentially every portion. A to B; B to C and seterusnya.

Disclaimer : The recipe given by a fren, belum try lagi. So tak tahu lagi whats the result and does the flow betul atau tidak. I post it just for my own keepsake. Senang nak cari nanti bila2 nak guna.

Letih letih. For 2 hours-lunch-hour time; i've been shop-hopping around the whole Angsana Mall to find my dream Scholl sandal. Went back to the office with frustrated feeling. At last Ura yg berbelanja sakan. She bought a nice Clarks sandal and a money's worth a set of crystal chess. Lovely! Me? Endup with buying nothing. Eheh. Ada satu Scholl sandal latest design tadi, tapi rasa tak sepenuh hati. Jadi, decided not to buy lah.

Terasa badan dah naik sangat sekarang, habis kain2 baju kurung terpaksa di tetas. Kalau tak, sure senak perut. What is really bother me is; i hv uneven distribution of these weight gaining. The obvious is my belly as well as my pipi. I dont really mind about the pipi, but i DO mind on the belly ni. Recently i do sit up every morning. Chewah. Still belum membuahkan hasil, but i will continue until i can see the good result. So at this moment, my leg still in unchange condition. So rasanya this is the only reason on my recently tired aching feet. It goes to the reason for my Scholl-Treasure-Hunt event today. I really really adore Fera's Scholl sandal. She bought it last year. Sekali pakai terus jatuh cinta! Tp maybe dah lama sangat, dah tak de pulak design tu. (Sigh). Takperlah, i'll continue my treasure hunt this weekend maybe to Duty Free Complex kot.

What i do in the mean time is doing own footbath and massage. Alah rendam air garam biasa jer. I do love the results. So i will keep this effort until dah jemu nak rendam. Eheh. Normally for instantly revive this tired, aching feet after my long day, i drop a small amount of salt into a baldi of hot water and soak for 10-15mins. N after that urut2 la sikit. (although no massage skill at all *wink* buat2 terer lar). Lepas tu, rasa lega sangat2 n badan pun rasa berpeluh2. I will try to keep this effort as long as i can lar (selagi tak jemu). Eheh. (Nak pakai lama kaki ni woo...)
