Celebrated Mum's birthday

This is a really really super backdated post! My goodness, been like decades since I last blogged! Hee!
Well, this event is one that I thought must be included in my blog ~ mum's birthday celebration. Ask me when it was! Hahaha! Back in July! As per norm, everyone chipped in...this time I was the one who suggested FIKA. Eldest sis had a difficult time finding the bistro! Hee!
Nevertheless, the celebration went as planned, we had lunch at FIKA Swedish Cafe & Bistro. Lunch was superb and the place was awesome...especially for camwhoring! Hee!
After that, we proceeded to United Square. We went to the Swensen's there for the birthday cake ~ ice-cream cake! Simply love these kinda family bonding events... brings the family closer together!

Arisya's 6th Birthday Celebrationz!

This year we celebrated Arisya's birthday differently...no party at home. In fact it became a 3-fold celebration for my lil babe. ;)
The 1st celebration was a class party at school. Oh yes, she was excites abt it! Been asking abt it ever since we said we'd celebrate her birthday in school!
She was happy to have her classmates singing e birthday song for her. She was all dressed up w her lil wings which was bought frm Mini Princess!
Later that day, we celebrated w paternal grandparents...we went to Singapore Flyer n had dinner at Islamic. Then we headed to Icing Room where Arisya n Ariq DIYed the 2nd birthday cake! It was awesome! Then we headed home and Arisya cut her 2nd birthday cake!
Celebrations were paused and continued the next day. ;) This time we celebrated w maternal grandparentz n aunties n cuzzies! We went to Swensen's @ T2...coz granny is a lil fussy abt food. She only eats Asian food! So at Swensen's T2...we'd have all the choices! Hehe!
Arisya was super elated that she took photos w each n everyone! This time Arisya got an ice-cream cake. Yup! She got 3 different cakes for the 6th birthday! ;)

And alas! My lil babe was all smiles...Happy Birthday Sweetheart!

Gnomeo & Juliet!

A long, long way backdated post this is! Well, we actually brought the kidz out for a movie during the sch March break. It was Gnomeo n Juliet...we watched it at Eng Wah @ Westmall.

There was still some time after we got our tix, so we had something light to fill up e time.

Udders Ice Cream it was.

We bought waffle w 2 scoops of ice-cream! Ice-cream choice was cookies n cream and hazelnut...it was YUMMILICIOUS! ;)

The kidz luv it! As usual...bought popcorn for Arisya n nachos for Ariq!

Can't wait for the time when Aqil can join us for movies!

And feedback was...the kidz enjoyed Tangled more! Maybe becoz they do not know head or tail abt Romeo n Juliet. And they hv read abt Rapunzel thus they can appreciate the movie better! ;)

But was not disheartened...will alwayz bring them out for movies! ;)

Melaka with In-Laws!

Went to Melaka with parents-in-law during the school break. They wanted to eat ikan bakar at Umbai, Melaka. Erhm...wonder where they knew of the place :) So we set out around 10am that day. The timing was juz right, not too early. As it was a weekday, the checkpoints were clear! Great!
We had a light breakfast at Gelang Patah. Then we made another stop for light lunch at Machap. Nice place it is as there is playground for the kidz while we are enjoying our food! And the toilets there are clean too!
And so from Machap, it was a straight drive up to Melaka! I slept most of the time...hehehe! Poor hubby! We reached Melaka around 2pm. We went jalan-jalan....covered all the Malls there - Mahkota Parade, Hatten Mall n Dataran Pahlawan. Mum-in-law bought lotsa goodies! All the kidz got themselves books...they are no longer toys-crazy! Alhamdullilah! :P
After 4 hours of shopping and jalan-jalan, we set off for Umbai. It has been well-known for ikan bakar! We went there once with hubby's friends. So this is the 2nd time we're going there. Hubby is real good with the roads, he can remember the route quite easily!
And we had a sumptious dinner of ikan bakar and seafood! Finger-licking good!

Mistaken!

Aqil has been scribbling on walls n things. Tried our best to prevent him from getting hold of any writing or drawing materials.
If Arisya was writing or drawing, Aqil will come and wanna join in too! So, we'd give him a pc of paper. But somehow, there'd be time when he managed to escape our scrutiny! Hehe! So, we kinda got used to that.
Then, yesterday I found Arisya holding something in her hand and she was doodling over Aqil's scribbles. So I went to her as she was doing that and shouted at her. Simultaneously scolded her that it was actually her scribbles that were found and not Aqil's!
She started crying and I saw that she was clenching her fist. I told her to show me what she was holding and my heart broke!
She had an eraser in her hand! I WAS MADE A MISTAKE! She was actually trying to erase the scribbles that Aqil had done....I hugged her and apologised. :-(

Our 9th Wedding Anniversary

This year, we celebrated our 9 years of marriage. That's the number of years we are lawfully married but he's been there for me way before that. It's been 12 years of happiness, sadness, quarrels and love. We decided to have a date to celebrated our anni. Juz the 2 of us, thanks to understanding MIL who helped to look after the kidz while we were out dating! Hahaha!

We decided to go on the typical date that couples have...dinner & movie. And we chose Plaza Singapura as the venue because of "P.S. I Love You!". Tsk tsk! :P
Upon reaching there, we bought the movie tics before proceeding to have our dinner @ Swensen's. We'd wanted to catch The Tourist but it was sold out coz it was the opening day, thus we settled for Lil Fockers.

We appreciated the moments we had with each other. And I fell in love with my husband of 9 years all over again! Happy Anniversary Dear!

Movie Date with Kidz ~ Rapunzel

Trying to be the best parents we can be...alwayz. Bonding time with kidz is very important, kidz too need to know we appreciate them, we treasure them, that they are significant in our lives. So me and hubby decided to go for a movie with the kidz. Well, it isnt like every movie are suitable for kidz. So when one comes by, we try to catch it! :P

We didn't go to town coz we didn't bring Aqil along. Hence, we didn't wanna spend too long a time leaving with all alone with granny. We chose Cathay @ Caseway Pt. Luckily, it wasn't too packed. We bought the tickets and had our lunch @ Banquet. Ariq and Arisya were excited about watching Rapunzel.

After lunch, we got the kidz drinks, popcorn and nachos. They didn't have a heavy lunch coz they have been looking forward to the popcorn and nachos. Rapunzel was a perfect choice especially for Arisya, she's only 5 so it was something she could understand. She laughed and enjoyed the movie throughout, so did Ariq and both of us!
