A Year Over A Quarter of a Century

Happy Birthday to Me!

First birthday as a wife.

Maybe next year as a mother? :p

Aminnnn...

I thank God for all the things he bestowed upon me.

I am thankful that my family is healthy, that we have a roof above our heads, food to eat and money to spend.

I am thankful that I go to sleep and wake up everyday next to my love of my life who has always been patient and loving towards me.

I am happy. :)

Alhamdulillah, I am able to breathe and live in a new year.

I woke up this morning with this on my bed, Thank you Danna. I love it! :')

Happy Birthday Dad!

It's not only the 5th of Syawal, but it is also dad's birthday! Yay!

Mum's Birthday

Yesterday was my mum's birthday! So iftar was extra special with chocolate mousse cake and KFC~ Yummeh!

The cake was supeeeerrrrr tasty!!!! Love it sooo much! It's moist and yummeh. My family is not a big fan of sponge cakes. So if you see me not touching your sponge cakes during Raya, sila jangan kecik ati. I will go for the kek belacan though. My fave!!! Oh, and also horlick cake, and kek lapis India!!! *drools*

Okay, back to the main topic.

What I got for mak:

If you are wondering what I got for her, it's a brown ruffled cardigan and a voucher for facial for two. :) I told bapak to go with her. :p

And apparently our cat Ipin had a gift for her too.

A dead hummingbird. He's way too good in catching stuff. =_=

Happy Birthday Bro!

June is definitely my most expensive month. But in a good way!
There's the fiance's birthday, father's day, and yesterday was my bro's birthday!
He is officially 18 years old, and can watch all the movies he wants to! Super famous joke for anyone turning 18.
When I turned 18, it was my status on Friendster. Fuiyooo Friendster!!! Mesti dah berdebu dah. LOL.'

 Last night we had dinner at Secret Recipe. Took a LOT of photos, but most of them are in my camera, so I'm just grabbing whatever I uploaded to FB and Instagram. :p

 With le brother. Kami adik-beradik petak-petak.

 

 

Wasn't feeling too hungry, so settled for the teeny weeny lasagna instead of my usual prawn macaroni. :p

 

OOOH PRESSIES. I got him these cool headphones. GAH. LUPE AMBIK GAMBAR. *facepalms*

Happy 18th Birthday Najman! 

University life will be starting soon! :)

His Celebration :)

It was a simple celebration between us. I didn't want to wait until the weekend. I am one of those who prefer birthdays be celebrated on the day itself. I mean, there's a reason it is called BIRTH-DAY. Any other day would just be your normal day.

Yes, I am petty like that. =_=

We rushed home from work, showered, and left after Maghrib for The Spring (where else? lol). And to celebrate his birthday, I decided to treat him at Secret Recipe, so that he gets to choose his own birthday cake. :p

His birthday cake:

 

It's Black Forest Cheese Cake by the way. Still quite new in Kuching's Secret Recipe. :)

His dinner:

 

Grilled Chicken Rice, I think. Look at him so happily eating the onions. He loves onions. But ohemmgee,  he had onion breath the entire night. LOL.

 

Couple shot :p :

 

OHAI. We're engaged. KTHXBAI.

His gift? I didn't give a crap about his "NO GIFTS! SAVE MONEY FOR OUR WEDDING" rule. LOLOLOL. I knew exactly what to get him. He's been eyeing it for months. Every time we go to Parkson he'll  say "Can we go to and see if it's still there?"

I knew it'd be a perfect birthday gift for him. :p

 

Can you guess what it is? :p

Here's how it actually looks like:

 

It's Darth Vader's Lightsaber! 

He bought a Darth Vader helmet 2 months back, and he's been itching to get the lightsaber but has been holding back because it was a bit pricey. The lightsaber is a proper replica of the movie's lightsaber, so it seemed to be really limited. Heck, there was only one in Parkson! 

Now I am also a fan of Star Wars, so I had no problem with him liking these sort of stuff too. I even played with it to test it out. Hahahahaha.

Here are some photos of us playing around with the Darth Vader mask. It even has his asthmatic-voice too! So awesome!

 

We are such dorks. XD

What I Baked for his Birthday

Instead of a cake like I usually do, I decided to make something different this year. I am pretty sure it's be hard to beat the rainbow cake I baked for him last year. It takes ages to make it by the way, but I know he loved it very much! :)

So for this year, I decided to make a dessert I knew he loved very much. It's the dessert he would always go for second when we go to Hartz Chicken Buffet at Sarawak Plaza.

Apple Crumble.

I browsed through different recipes and tried to find one that would be fail-proof and also the simplest to make. Just so that nothing could possibly go wrong. :p

I was lucky that I got it right on my first attempt! But I'd make some amendments if I'll be baking this again anytime soon. (Note to self: Less sugar, more apples! :D)

Preparation made:

It was surprisingly quite simple to make! :D Way easier than baking a five-layer different colours cake! (But colours are fun, sooo.. lol.)

 

A success! :D

Finished in one night after baking completed. I managed to save a tupperware-ful for the fiance's breakfast/brunch/lunch/whenever he's going to eat it the next day. :p

 

Happy Birthday Mr. Fiance!

"Apa? 27 taun? Bulak alu jak." kata member.

But yes, you are officially 27 years old today.

And to think that we fell in love before you even hit 20.

We have really come a long way.

There were a few bumps in the road, but thankfully we managed to pull it together.

What's a relationship without those bumps anyway?

It's the bumps that test the relationship and test our ways of dealing with it.

You have been with me at my highest high, and my lowest low.

You have seen my transition over the years, growing into the person I am now; my mood swings, temper, and ever-changing emotions were something you really had to deal with.

I am incredibly amazed by your patience with me.

Especially during my traumatic study years where my emotion was really out of whack.

There were times I would lash out at you when actually the person I should really be yelling at is someone else. :(

I was (and still am!) new at all of this relationship thing when it comes to being with you through these years.

So please bear with me, guide me, and teach me in becoming a better woman, a wife that you deserve to have. :)

I am counting every second to the moment that I will officially be yours to keep, and have you to cherish. :')

 

My Birthday Mini Surprise

I love my Office Wing!

Wing 4 is always full of love and rainbows!

We have unicorns, Nyan Cats, and singing Oreos here.

Submerged yourselves in our sea of Nutella!

There I was with my Jacob cracker halfway in my hot Milo when Haslina and Melisa surprised me with a small cake! Haha. I was so surprised that I left my cracker in my Milo!!! LOL!

Love you guys!!! *glomps everyone*

A Quarter of a Century

I found this while searching for birthday LOLCats and thought it was funny to put up here today:

I LOL-ed.

Alhamdulillah, I get to enter my quarter of a century in good health and mind. A lot will be going on for me this year; for instance, this could be my last birthday as a single girl. Huhuhuhuhuuuu~

No more hanky panky on my birthdays then. 

And also, have you heard or seen the new Ipad??? No, it's not an Ipad 3, it's called the new Ipad. I know. It's so confusing. :\

But it's so pwetttyyyyyyyy!!!! God, I'm such a sucker for ads. =_=

Thus up comes a LOLCat meme that I personally created for this day. Here's to hoping my parents get to see this on my bwog:

 

Then again, just because they'll see this doesn't mean they'll get it for me. Haha.

 

Willy Wonka's Chocolates!!

If it doesn't sound familiar, maybe the following movie poster is?

 

OH ABANG JOHNNY DEPP <33333

Siyes, abang Johnny bawak watak pape pon tetap hebat, hensem n hosem. Woot Woot!!!

 

 

And tadaaaaa!!! MY WONKA CHOCOLATE!!! AND HOLY CRAP, IT WAS EFFING EXPENSIVE!!!

RM22 for a bar of chocolate. The most I've ever spent for chocolates. (T__T) Salmi and I searched all over Tokyo for it, and we end up finding a lot of them already Japan-ized as in, Katakana writing on the cover when I really wanted the authentic Wonka wiggly writing. 

And lo and behold, we found it at the airport!!! Right before I was going to check-in. It was a miracle!!! Totally IMPOSSIBURUUU~ *meme joke here*

 

And holy sheet it was FREAKING TASTYYYYYYYY~!!!! SODAP GILER BABENGZZZ!!!! There's caramel inside, with bits of Cadbury Crunchie. ZOMG I SWEAR AFTER TASTING IT MY EYES WENT FROM (-_-) TO (O_O). LOL. Totally worth every cent of my RM22.

And we also got something for the demanding birthday girl~

 

A Willy Wonka Chocolate Truck! Complete with 2 Wonka Chocolates nyum!!!! See how happy she is??? Please ignore Razi being all paparazzi freakish in the background. Haha.

Happy Birthday Lynn!!!

A special Birthday Post for my special girl:

YOU'RE SEXY AND YOU KNOW IT.

And yes, Salmi and I will get you a prezzieee~ =p

Happy Anniversary

7 years. Thank you, love. (^_^)

Hopefully this one is forever. =)

Happy Birthday Melisa-chan!!!

It's Monday, first day of the semester, but I am not going to complain (I'll save it for tomorrow, LOL) because it's a special Monday for a very dear friend of mine, Melisa-chan!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURRRLLLLL~

You are a beautiful person inside and out, have the greatest smile, lots of love to spread around and I am so happy to have known you in my lifetime. You are one of a kind Melisa-chan, special in every way! Have fun on your birthday~ *hugs hugs hugs*

And since it's like tradition for us to karaoke on birthdays, choose any day you like and it'll be on me! And we'll go melalak like mad! WHEEEEE~ 8D

Happy Birthday Bapak!!!

Happy 52nd Birthday to the most important man in my life! ='D



Here's to wishing long life, abundance of wealth, betterment of health and joy of laughter with each following day!

I love you very much!

Happy Fasting and Happy Birthday!

First of all, fasting has begun! A nice month for us to get healthy! That is, if you avoid bingeing at the end of the day. XD

Go easy at the Ramadhan Bazaar peeps! Avoid wasting money and food! =)

And secondly, it's also my mom's birthday today!!! Happy Birthday Mom!

Aaahh.. The good ol' days... =')

Joined Day!

Okay, a bit (a lot?) kate in posting this tapi nak letak jugak.

So two weekends back we celebrated Father's day and my brother's birthday altogether at Secret Recipe. A lot of food was eaten, a lot of calories were devoured and raised, and a lot of money was spent.

But a lot of fun went on too! =)

Chocolate Indulgence will always be our (erm, my? XD) favourite Secret Recipe cake evarrrrr~

Darnit. Now I have cravings. *goes gulp down a litre of water*
