happy, seeing them happy…

*Happy Mommy*

the book…

The book was recommended by Glen aka the SV… He gave me to read on the data analysis as I mentioned to him that I was quite stuck and confused…its just one of those tonnes of books that he let me keep for my readings..but this book, he clearly mentioned that I can only keep it for a ‘wee’ while.. He said that this is his favourite book, he still do refers to it.. And uses it for his classes as well. Knowing about this, I’ve made up my mind to hunt for it. Thanks to the “redlaser app”, I managed to secure the book in no time. I opted for the used book.. Not being cheapskate, but because i’ve heard colleagues talked about it being a good bargain, besides it only cost me £2.22. huh! Definitely a bargain!

I was surprised when it arrived today. Though it clearly mentioned that its ‘used’, it looks spanking new to me ! Except for few dents, that doesn’t matter at all..

Aisya’s 3rd Birthday

Celebrated on 28th February & 5th March 2011 – Actual Birth date : 29th February…

 

enjoying the sun with the girls

Last Monday, it was such a lovely day, and we took the opportunity to take the kids out to the citycentre.

Well, it was just a coincidence since daddydearest was going to to town for his educational visit to the Edinburgh Council in Waverly Court. We tagged along, parked the car and off we go, me and the girls went for some window shopping while daddy off for his visit. After some shopping at John Lewis @ St James Centre, we went out of the mall and coincidently found a beautiful park with spring flowers (Crocus albiflorus) just started to bloom. The girls had a blast, running around freely.

Hope to see more lovely  sunny days this spring!!

Mommy dearest!

Dilemma

It’s really time to think things through.. To evaluate the priorities.. .. The question is.. Family or career/ work.. That is the dilemma faced by my dearest hubby.. Yes, true ; money is what everyone wants.. But does it guarantee happiness.. Will it give you the ultimate pleasure??

 

For now, let’s enjoy some pictures taken few days ago at an indoor soft play area, TimeTwisters, Edinburgh

 

turning point?

Just recieved news from hubby dearest about something that would definitely be the major turning point of our life..

I’m hoping for the best and now, it’s time to think things through and hope that Allah the Almighty would guide us in making the right decision.

shop til you drop! and.. I do mean, til you drop..

We’re totally dropped now.. huhuhu..

been shopping like god knows.. be it online or off-line..been shopping like mad, and its scaring me…It’s all because of the fact that the VAT will increase by 4th January, which is tomorrow.. and today, 3rd January, I just did the final puchase.. I hope it is the FINAL purchase.. hehehe.. Well, what did we buy?? hmm.. just leave that to us.. huhhuhu.. But Alhamdulillah, though the list is long, we only buy the things that we think has greater priority .. meaning, luxury items are totally out.. huhuh.. good..good.. )

Stuck.. again??

Darn..I’m stuck again. I’ve been sitting on this chair for hours, after tucking BigSisAisya into bed, and LilSisAdlyna in her buai..Instead of doing the actual writing, I keep on adjusting the formats of the chapter…pretending that I was really into it.. also, hoping that an idea would just popped out.

Eventually, everything failed..Looks like browsing for recipes on how to roast the turkey that a dear friend just dropped off is more appealing..hehehe.. Maybe its just because the holiday mood is already embedded within me.. huhuhu Talking about the roast turkey recipe options, at the moment, Jamie’s recipe top the list. It seems to be a very simple yet verrry yummilicious.. Well, of course, modifying it  to suit  to our typical  Malay taste-bud is a must…oops, sorry Jamie..heheheh

Let’s see how things goes.. I also pray that I would manage to finish the draft chapter by boxing day.. *keepingmyfingerscrossed*.
