My 42nd Birthday

A reminiscence of my birthday this year. Nothing grand but memorable in my books albeit a few untoward incidents.

Firstly, we had an unexpected day trip back to hometown to check on FIL. He's still weak but looking pink of health now. Spent some quality time with Angels too and I was so happy when they actually bought a cake to celebrate my birthday, 3 days early! I was so touched!

The next day, met up with my BFF, Joyce, and she gave me a chic envelope purse from Dorothy Perkins! It blew my mind off! Thanks so much babe!

On the eve, we had dinner at O' Viet. We actually wanted Shogun as I love Japanese food but the staff misinformed us and were kinda lackadaisical, chatting instead of serving hence we went off to look for other options. Will update our experience here in another post.

Upon switching on my notebook and mobile, Google greeted me... it brightened my day!

Unintentionally, we had a little western dinner on my birthday at TJ Haus. I've always loved the ambiance here and both the service and food are good. Will share that in another post ^.^

Although there were no big celebrations nor huge shenanigans, I totally had a wonderful time with sweet memories to boot with my loved ones. Not forgetting all those beautiful birthday wishes from Facebook to Google to Skype to Whatsapp to WeChat and even Instagram!!! Wow! Thanks to social media, we are all connected either near or far... so blessed to have them as my friends! Even sis Alvina, bros Ryan and Chris had something for me... an angpow from Alvina, a professional studio photoshoot voucher from Ryan and my domain name renewal from Chris ^.^

The only setback, I had diarrhoea and gastric after that... was on medical leave the next day sigh!

Anyhow, I am so so so blessed and thankful... a year older, hopefully wiser... amen!

Updated: a belated gift from my BFF, Chow!!!

Thanks so much dear! I loved it!

Minnie's 5th birthday

Yesterday was Minnie's 5th birthday and I actually wanted to give her a special treat but lately, she has become a rascal =.= 

Started barking more often, biting all kinds of things which she has been prohibited including my shoes and even went on food strike ignoring her favourite bone. Well, understandably, I guessed her naughty antics are due to her female hormones... she's on heat. Ya, ya, I know I should neuter her... soon, soon... need to convince daddy. 

So we went to the nearest shop to get some nice canned food for her after work but unfortunately, they don't have variety, just Pedigree chicken, so bought a can instead.

Added some kibbles and fried chicken, dare not put too much, just in case wasted

Full of curiosity, slowly nibbling it before fully attacking the tower of canned food! The end result: clean and clear!

Happy birthday to my dear Minnie! Loved you to bits even though you have been naughty! I pray you have a good health and longevity!

MPOV: Uno!

Hubby tried to leave early from work so that we could have a nice be-early birthday dinner ^.^ Unfortunately, he couldn’t so we had dinner somewhere nearby after work last Wednesday >.< We found this quiet and simple restaurant in Centrepoint which was still open after 10pm. Thankfully!

I totally loved the ambiance as it was welcoming and the environment was so inviting and calm. It felt comfortable with the warm, serene surroundings.

Hubby ordered Slow-cooked Lamb Shoulder. The meat was tender and succulent, totally immersed with the gravy. The potato, however, was a little tad hard like it wasn’t really cooked. Hubby wasn’t sure if it was meant to be that way but it didn’t complement the lamb well.

My Olio with Grilled Prawns Spaghetti tasted just right, not too oily nor spicy with grilled prawns which were totally fresh. Please excuse my fatigue self… was up since 7am!

Fresh Lemon and Honey for Hubby and House White Wine for moi. Hubby was complaining he couldn’t taste much honey. Honestly it was so sour! I wondered how many lemons they had used as it totally woke us up! Anyway, I regretted ordering the white wine as it was shockingly not smooth and tasted a little cockroachy… had to quickly gulped it down =.=

Courteous staffs, proportionate food servings and a peaceful evening summed it up. We enjoyed the quiet moments and feeling totally blissful. Our total bill, including 6% government tax and 10% service charge, was RM97.44. A little overpriced but it was worth it.

Hubby, thanks so much for the wonderful be-early birthday dinner… luv ya lots! Muacks!

Happy birthday Minnie!

I was so excited this morning to have seen Ning Baizura in KL Sentral ^.^ However I was also afraid to approach her… scared mah if wrong person how *blushing*

My my... it's been that long *grinning* Minnie has grown so huge! She’s 2 years old now… based on human cycle. She's a huge dog who loves to stand on her hind legs ^.^

This is her favourite look asking for ‘sayang’ or treats ^.^

Happy birthday Minnie! Thank you for being a nice companion... being there when I needed your comfort ^.^

Saturday snaps!

Before heading back to hometown last Saturday, we went to 1 Utama to check out the Transformers event. It was crowded with Transformers enthusiasts… making it so difficult to take photos with the mascots! Yes, Optimus Prime and Bumblebee were there ^.^

I just love Bumblebee!

After that, we headed to AU2 to collect MIL’s spectacles. They had Akademi Fantasia practice session at the outdoor car park with clowns clowning around amidst the hot and humid afternoon!

It was a reluctant trip as Angels will be back in hometown for school which re-opened on Monday… with a heavy heart… sigh! I missed their laughter, naughty antics, cheeky grins, etc…

Ending this blog post with new additions to the family… a new responsibility for both Tyger and Princess ^.^

Meet Goldeen:

and  Nemo:

Yes, a pair of fighting fishes LOL! Easy peasy, I hope, for them to manage and maintain *grinning*

Bar.B.Gon Pillow

Finally! After months of waiting, Princess got her Bar.B.Gon Pillow from Bar.B.Q Plaza!

I had joined Bar.B.Q Plaza’s Facebook contest in March and found out I was 1 of the lucky 100 to receive the Bar.B.Gon Pillow on 23/3/11 ^.^ However, few weeks down the road, I still didn’t receive any letters or emails on how to claim the pillow and the dateline to redeem has finally lapsed =.= After a few email clarifications few weeks later, Bar.B.Q Plaza was kind to allow me to redeem the pillow… phew! Princess was so happy, grinning from ear to ear *happy sigh!

Tyger happily clowning with it… after a hearty dinner at Bar.B.Q Plaza, he’s still energetic! You can read about my view on Bar.B.Q Plaza here

Thank you, Bar.B.Q Plaza, for this kind gesture! It totally made my Princess’ day!

Sunday snaps!

This will be another photoblog of our outing last Sunday ^.^

After lunch, we headed to KLCC, hoping to check out the famous Petrosains. Unfortunately, we were too late as it was damn crowded! The queue was just too long pffft! We ended up window-shopping instead ^.^ It’s been a long time since we visited KLCC… so many new shops i.e. Harrods, Harley Davidson, Chopard, etc… my eyes were damn busy *grinning*

After that, we headed to AU2 to repair MIL’s spectacles. Angels were captivated by the colourful donuts while passing by Big Apple! Hubby gave in… we had tea there in the end *Angels grinning widely*

Our last stop, Summit USJ, where we met up with my BFF/ my Angel’s Godma Chow and her family. Her cutie pie baby is such a big girl now! So adorable! We were busy catching up while our kids were busy playing ‘hamburger’ which stumped me… never heard or seen of such game in my life *slaps forehead*!

We were pretty tired by the time we reached home… a tiring yet memorable Sunday. I’m ending this post with a beautiful photo of Princess in a dress given by Godma Chow… she still has the energy and mood to model for her daddy ^.^

A supermodel in the making ???
