Ice Cream

I love ice-cream!

Iftar at Secret Recipe

Last weekend my father brought us to Secret Recipe at @l@m@nd@ for our Iftar. It has been ages since I was there. No, make that centuries ago!

Anyway, I shared a plate of Fish and Chips with my sister. I took an affinity to my mother's Chicken Cordon Blu. And for desserts, we had Brownies topped with Vanilla Ice-cream. And not to forget Smarties Sweet Treats. Yum-meh...! Everything was yummy-licious. Well, except for the cold Rose Syrup drink - sorry, not my kind of taste.

As usual, my mother has an agenda of her own. And as usual we were chaperoned by my reluctant father to the toy shops.

My mother bought me a pretty yellow dress for the coming Aidilfitri. When I tried it on I felt like a princess with the puffy sleeves and 'skirt kembang'. We got some cute onesies and jumpers for our baby. And a cute pink dress for Fatimah, our neighbour.

Sigh.. that could be our last trip there. I doubt we get to go there in the near future. I guessed that explained why my father nicknamed my mother '...macam kambing terlepas...'.
Heheheh...

Ooopppssss.....

I was all psyched up to fast the whole of today. Well... ahem, truthfully, till after Dzuhur prayer. But I was tempted to check out that lil' peach-coloured round thingy offered by Samirah. It did looked wonderful. And smelled wonderful too. And I bet it would taste good too...

... and oh, boy it sure did. I just had to confirm it before I started to continue my fasting.

note to self :
Never, ever tell your mother if you happen to terbatalkan your puasa. Just smile sweetly... But with parents like mine they can sniff a lie anywhere, anytime, anyway! Lucky me!

September Baby... & the Not-So-Babies

Happy, Happy, Happy...
Birthday, Birthday, Birthday...
To, To, To...
Diana, Diana, Diana...

Happy 3rd Birthday to Diana - my other royal sister.

And also a belated birthday to Cik Sapiah and Kak Karimah!!!
... I think lah... I know that their birthday fall on September too but I don't want to burn my brain cells thinking/wondering/pondering. I prefer to sleep now otherwise my father will lock me out of the room. Again.

Yaay!

Guess what? My Tok Ayah and Maktok are here to spend 1 week with us. I love it when they are around because I can go 'jalan-jalan' with them. Practically everyday. Yaay!

..... and I bet one of these days I can skip both school and Qiraati class for that 'jalan-jalan' thingy. Yaay! Yaay! Yaaaaaayyyyyy...!!!

.Mim.Alif.Lam.Sin.

Sshhh..... don't tell anyone but I've been feeling pretty lazy lately. That is pretty but lazy to you guys, OK?
~ I'm pretty but lazy to go for my Qiraati lessons.
~ I'm pretty but lazy to focus on what my Ustaz is teaching me.
~ I'm pretty but lazy to read more than 3 times to my Ustaz.
~ I'm pretty but lazy to revise the lessons taught by Ustaz with my mother.

But.....
~ I'm pretty and definitely not lazy to play all day and night.
~ I'm pretty and absolutely not lazy to doodle and draw a picture of myself as a princess.
~ I'm pretty and positively not lazy to read story books and imagine that the main character is the good me.

But, why oh why, do all the people around me (read : my parents) do not understand that this is a temporary phase? I need something to motivate me to jump back on the right track again. An incentive like a new Barbie doll (Ahem!) to replace the old, messy-haired one.
Please, please, pretty puhhlleeezzz.....!

My Birthday Today

Today is my birthday and I am 5. I did not cry when waking up and was quite excited to go to school. My birthday cake and goody bags for my friends were already packed yesterday. This is my birthday cake and of course a picture of me.

Can you guess what's on the birthday cake?
