Dominos Vs Pizza Hut

My family definitely prefers Dominos.



Today Mommy went on cooking strike, so Dominos delivers in less than 30 mins. Was hoping that they would be slightly late, then we got to get a free regular pizza voucher. LOL!!

Here are our choices:

Half Half Crispy Thin Crust Chicken Aloha & Chicken Pepperoni




Tuna Temptation


Banana Kaya Mini Pizza

Best Mother's Day Experience Ever

As a lady, who doesnt wanna have a feel of looking her best , dressed pretty, have her hairdo , make up & nails done by the professionals - all sponsored?

This dream gave me the inspiration to sign up for the "My Lovely Mom Award" competition held just recently on Labours' Day.

Registration fee was only RM 50 and contestants got the chance to do studio photo shoots by professional with all make up & hairdo & 1 dinner gown sponsored during the photo shoot. They will be wearing the same gown during the Finals on that competition Nite. Besides, the contestant will also get 2 8R portraits where one will be sent for competition judging and the other for self keeping.

Really had great fun learning how to groom, how to catwalk, pose elegantly & look slim in front of camera, spotlight & reporters etc. The most challenging was having to walk in 3 inches high heel (which I never done before) after wearing the gown which is longer than me. ha Ha!

so did I win? Of course! I won:

1) New friendship (knowing other Mothers age frm 30 plus to 58)
2) Memorable & Fun Experience
3) The courage to try again next time.

The winners were mainly in their mid 40s and 50's - the judges' favourites to bag the Titles Of Champion, 1st & 2nd Runner up, Most Photogenic, Most Popular, Most Charming, Most Elegant & The Oldest Mom Award!






Perhaps I should gear myself up to take part again in 10 years time to stand a better chance hoh?

Happy Mothers day to all the lovely Moms out there!

Relaxation at CWS 4th Day of CNY

CNY Part 3

Since UK aunt is a nature lover & loves retreat, we took her to Clearwater Sanctuary in Batu Gajah on the 5th Day of CNY. This is the place near the spot where the film "The King & I " played by Chow Yuen Fatt & Jodie Foster was shot.

There were many activities one can do in CWS such as swimming, fishing, boating, kayak-ing, bird watching, bicyling, games like tennis, badminton, squash; achery, & golfing.

Aunt Chris really enjoyed the serene views & all the natural landscapes there which she could hardly find in the place she stays in UK.

Here are some of the pics taken.





After this outing, we rushed back home for the reunion dinner sponsored by Aunt Chris at a famous local restaurant. we booked 5 tables for about 50 family members.

How was your CNY outings & family reunion? Bet you have a splendid time, too!

CNY Reunion Dinner with more than 10 families

CNY Part 2

My Uk aunt gave us a great feast at a local famous Chinese Restaurant with 8 course dinner on the 4th Day of Chinese New Year.

Most of her siblings attended the dinner together with their children & family who could make it. All together the rough count was about 50 pax.

The get-together really brought us closer & everyone enjoyed each others' companion.

Again the kids were the most boisterous ones wit their roaring laughters to cheer up the occassion.

Thank you Aunt Chris for the treat & thanks to my beloved mom for the organising & making all the arrangements

!

Love checked in ISH for endoscopy

Past 2 days, love was at the ISH for endoscopy procedure due to his very bad gastritis.
Though he is discharged already tonight, he still has not gotten his result & need to go back for his outpatient appointment with the specialist later for the findings report.

The two nights when he was at ISH, the kids took the opportunity to bunk into his private single room for a few hours at night. They treated it like a hotel check in : taking their bath, having their dinner(I cooked & brought food for all of us for dinner there)in daddy's private room.

Here are the pics of the family bonding moment& moral support to their beloved daddy:

Family-Golf Affair @RPGC & Clearwater

Here are some pics compiled in slideshow of our family spending time together in golf past weekends:

Help!! I gained 2 Kg after Raya & Mooncake festival goodies!

Yes..it just shown on my weighing machine that I've put on the extra FATs..
I seriously need to workout in order to enjoy the coming Deepavali goodies.

Besides I'm also worried about the pimples and cellulites which are getting more visible nowadays. How can a freckled face like mine has pimples? Cellulites on my posterior thighs,(Yucks..ugly!), extra contour over the sides of my thighs ( so improportionate!)?

Must be the oily food & all the sinful stuff that I have been indulging in past few months. Must be the STRESS? Must be the hormonal imbalance in my body!



Gosh..must really start my workout & exercise to burn all the extra FAT & detoxify my body. I must reshape & look better by this coming Chinese New Year if not Christmas! I plan to go to Clearwater Club in Batu Gajah every weekend to join the aerobics & yoga while hub goes golf & kids swim & game.





p.s Will also try to get my other half to join my "new resolution"!

weekend on call & Clearwater there after

Today I had to be on call at the Intensive & Coronary Care Unit.

After finished work, hubby drove us all to Clearwater Batu Gajah. As usual he plays Golf while I "surf' and the kids have fun in the pool & game room.

Some pics to tag along this post:

Here's my little Jasmine taking swimming lessons frm his Kor Kors

Good girl..relax and kick

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfiltri 2009!

What I did with my family?

1)Open houses 1st day & 2nd Day at Uncle zul & uncle Bakar's place.



2) Enjoyed Yummy food: rendang, lemang, nasi impit , kuah kacang, raya cookies & goodies.
3) Dolled them up in Raya costumes...Satu Malaysia spirit mah!



4) Bought the kids a 3 ringpool (that can accomodate 6 adults) frm Tesco. They had great fun at the backyard.



Sad that there is only 1 day more to enjoy , then have to be back to work routine again. Nonetheless, the kids will still be enjoying their school holidays till end of the whole week.

Thks darling hubby for driving us around!

A short but sweet Day trip to Cameron Highlands

As tomorrow is a Public Holiday for our state (Nuzul Quaran), hubby spontaneously decided to drive us all up to Cameron Highlands for a day trip to Jalan-jalan Cari Makan (Going around to look for food).


We took off after I prepared these breakfast (Seafod Tom Yam Fried rice & Tuna Sandwiches) & snack for my family:



So what did we do in Cameron Highlands? These pictures will tell you some of the places we visited :

1) Our first stop at Green View Garden, where we bought many boxes of Oyster mushroom Crisps (original, wasabi, curry & blackpepper flavours)




2) Eating durians (my enemy fruit) by the roadside:


3) Kids shopping for their Ben10 & Barbie sweaters at the Sunday Pasar Pagi(Morning Market):


4) hotel hopping @ Equatorial, Heritage, Marina Chalet, GreenView hotel, Century Pine Hotel, etc


5) We also tasted the raw jagung (sweet corn), oyster mushroom/ water crest Tempura and the Teh tarik in Cameron Highlands. Not to mention shopping for the sweet & big oranges, Giant Bubble racket for the kids, & other nick nacks.

The kids were pretty excited throughout the trip. though they were whining us all the way & bugged us to stay a night in Camerons. After some negotiation, they somehow gave in to us . We reached home about 6.30pm.

We had simple Maggi Goreng with Fried Fish & steam Vege for dinner.
