Good Thoughts...

Before you think of saying an unkind word 

  Think of someone who can't speak

Before you complain about the taste of your food
 Think of someone who has nothing to eat

Before you complain about your husband or wife
 Think of someone who's crying out to God for a companion

Today before you complain about life
 Think of someone who went too early to heaven
 
Before you argue about your dirty house; someone didn't clean or sweep
 Think of the people who are living in the streets

Before whining about the distance you drive
 Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet

And when you are tired and complain about your job
 Think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another
 Remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down
 Put a smile on your face and thank God you're alive and still around

Life is a gift
 Live it...
  Enjoy it...
   Celebrate it...
    And fulfill it.

Pre-school Annual Concert 2011

This year kakak danced a dangdut disco number at her annual preschool concert 2011.  The concert was held on Saturday .....at IYC Hall.  The concert was amazing because we got to see different costume outfits each year and kudos to the principals and teachers for doing such an amazing job.  Yang paling best..biler little tots age 3 years old  graced the concert opening with their modern dance aww... tersangat laa adorable ...then bila dah habis..the parents are allowed to get their kids. Suka hati whether..nak tunggu till habis atau nak bawak kids balik truss..of course sebab they are only 3 years old karang kalau lama2 kang takut menjerit tapie surprisingly..Myra who is barely 2 years old tunggu concert kakak sampai habis..she's such a good girl.

 Masa belum dapat baju concert,  I was hoping Lily got to dance a 'bhangra' dance sebab teacher Kiren is an excellent dance choreographer..plus girls outfit tersangatt laa nicee!! only Abang Adly had a chance to perform a bhangra dance sebab masa tu class teacher dia was Ms Kiren.  Dd pulak masa tuu..performed chinese dance and did a Mandarin poem recital in groups. Kalau dapat English Modern Dance pun okay jugak sebab outfit dia pun beautiful..ala2 princess so gorgeous with the overflowing skirts and beautiful accessories.

 Masa Lily bawak balik concert costume dia...abang2 dah gelak sakan daah..they kept on teasing her..apasal baju cam baru turun from spaceship? Yg unique nyer bila pakaii baju gold nih..ada bunyi2 sikitt due to the strands of beads yang berjurai2 banyak kat shoulder and at the hem of the skirt.  Good job Kakak! Well done..we are so proud of you.  This year...Mama was so thankful & relief sebab you are okay and seemed to have fun on stage, no more feeling of nauseas and butterflies knot in the stomach hehe.

Mushroom Quiche for afternoon tea

Baked this quiche yesterday afternoon for my PIL yang turun KL. Sangat sedaapp kalau makan masa tengah suam2.  The quiche crust still need lots of practice and patience..sebab tepi2 dia cam ada crack skett bila bakar.  This is the 3rd time buat tapie..everytime buat the dough macam cam turned out differently selalu tak sama.  Maybe sebab gemuruh kot sebab buat for PIL naknyer biler my MIL diri kat sebelah nak nengok so terkujat skett kekeke...

Resipi beliau tak pernah mengecewakan cewahh! 

Marble Cheese Cake...

baked this marble cheese cake for the kiddoes untuk makan2 as dessert.  They complained  tak puas ler makan kat secret recipe the other day.  I found this recipe kat blog hanajapan famous foodie blogger and I was so happy because it turned out nicely and sangat seedap.  Thank you for sharing the recipe. I almost panicked sebab bila nak waterbath the cake pan...the pan tak muat sebab my oven comeii..tapi still jadik..syukur alhamdullilah whew! I used McVities Digestive biscuits (250g) sebab lebih sedap compared to biscuit marie..and some lemon paste sebab I don't have any fresh lemon at home. 
Didi enjoyed crushin' the biscuits time nak buat based kek.  I find it much easier if we used a cup yg dah balut dgn kertas parchment paper untuk smoothen the based instead of using a fork...lebih cepat & less messy. 

our li'll joyeaux anniversaire together...

Thank you, Allah, for giving me another year of life.
Thank you for all the people who remembered me today
by sending digital cards, gifts and good wishes.

Thank you for all the experience of this past year;
for times of success which will always be happy memories,
for times of failure which reminded me of my own weakness and of my need for you,
for times of joy when the sun was shining,
for times of sadness which drove me to you.

Forgive me
for the hours I wasted,
for the chances I failed to take,
for the opportunities I missed this past year.
Help me in the days ahead to make this the best year yet,
and through it to bring good credit to myself,
happiness and pride to my loved ones,
and joy to you.  Amiin...
