A brand new week!

Funnily I thot July's pretty fast!
But it's gonna be about 2 weeks to go still.
And I've spent tremendously a lot.
Belum start on the baking. Gotta remind myself to keep the number of kuihs in check.
 
Alhamdulillah. We planned to iftar tog for the first time ever.
Thinking it was impossible Yet it happened!
And I was so humbled to host them.
 
 
Overjoyed that the two lil ones came along.
The sis was very well behaved while Ali was happily munching on not 1 or 2 but 3 kurma! hee
 
Now that the weekend's almost over, a long week awaits.
Can I look forward to the next weekend already?
Will have 4-day work week but have to work on Sat! -_-

Ramadhan

My lil pinkie netbook is dying, probably gone by now. It became so slow that I'd given up waiting for it to load. Not that I need a lappie. And that one lasted for more than 4 yrs. It's time I guess.
So now I'm lapping with sis' Lenovo. The keyboard's weird seriously.
No idea why the letters have to have space apart from one another.
Let me see. Last update was back in May. Mom's bday month.
Which we have gotten her an Ipad mini.
She still persuading us to load the full Quran for her. Heh.
Besides Mom's bday, I got the chance to meet BFF Sally together with lil Sophie.
She's grown a lot. Really.
She was tiny back in Apr 2011 but now she could walk and even detest in entering shops!
Time flies.

So June arrived and all I looked forward to was Cousin's bday bash at Swissotel.
For the first time. Knowing how detailed a person he is, I was really excited abt his party.
It was intimate with only the cousins, his closed colleagues and frens.
And I was indeed impressed with the set up and the spread of munchies.
 
July's here now. Ramadhan. Wasn't really looking forward to it.
Don't get me wrong. Just that he was due for his reservist for not 1 or 2 weeks.
But the whole of 23 days. -_-'
For the first time ever you know.
Altho no outfield this time around, he still needs to bunk in.
So no night chats (and I thot I cld really catch on my early night slp but somehow failed).
Alright now. We're halfway there!
Let's hang on!
 
Much had happened in the months before. And I'm really glad as well as thankful that I got to catch up with my long time frens. Especially of late. Alhamdulillah.
Though we rarely meet, I'm pretty confident that we do think of one another at times.
Probably just the age. The older you get, the more you appreciate your buddies. BFFs and GFs alike.
Hearts every single one of them.
 
Let's move on to Peeks!
 
 
This was so random. He mumbled about getting a small pillow and I got him 1 from the market.
Took some of mom's extra cloth material and sew him the red cover.
Ermm no. I wish those words cld be sewn on the cover instead. :)
 

 
This was one of the rare outing with sis.
Had dinner at Streats after shopping for cousin's presie.
She's all the time busy with work so I really appreciate those rare outings with her.
 


One of the mornings when I felt really hardworking to have walked to the canteen to grab bf.
It was a simple yummy pleasure of having prata soaked in curry.




Bot 2 long skirts from Kate Love. Loves the bag!
Which girl doesn't?
Shopping therapy works wonders. Every time without fail.
 



Rem those hazy days? Thankfully wasn't under the weather. And I got the opportunity to help out at sis' shop. Packing those masks at the cashier.
Made me miss my retail past.
Meeting a really huge different type of customers.



I am so lucky to be blessed with the bestest sis that I got to share her frens as well especially during makan outings. This was for the druggist gang.
Bday dinner treat at Aquamarine. How to diet like that?
 


Not only that. Dad even bot me 4 tubs of ice cream.
Which was shared between me and him. Only.
Times like this, I need the bro back in the house to share the fats fairly.
 

 
But I still tried to strike a balance.
See! A mix of fruits.
From cousin's bday party. How creative.
 

And this is part of his bday cake. He had a separate 2 tier cake besides these cuppies!
 


A lil sneak preview of bro in law's design.
Can't wait to work on them soon.
Hopefully by Aug!
Looking forward to scribbles and stamps.
 


Had Arnold's at bro's place.
It was yummy what more sitting on the floor in a circle of complete family members.
Feels utterly blessed.

 
Been thinking real hard about this. Decided on the colorful KitchenAid ONLY to have eventually bot a totally diff model altogether. Well, this was cheaper and hope it'd serve good.
Back to baking. Real soon.
 
 
He told me to sign up only after Hari Raya but we had our 1st iftar there.
So without informing him, I signed up when I ordered.
Finally a Pastamaniac!
 
 
Find me! In those moody eyes.
I miss u old man. Be right back SOON!
