Muffin in da house!

Semua orang suka makan muffin kan.....macam-macam jenis muffin kan. Personally, I love banana and vanilla muffin, so-so on chocolate muffin, pleaseee dont take it too hard choc lovers.... 

Last weekend, on Saturday specifically, I went to Children's and Open Day of Lil Tot, a kindergarten and daycare centre was held on Saturday at Impian Jaya, Kajang playground. We had lots of fun there, exposed Danisha to the real world of kindergarten, of course she was so happy and clueless at first but after 1/2 hour there, out of control. I'll keep the full story later. Let's talk about muffin. 

I was so excited to make this chocolate muffin. Org tak pernah buat sebarang kek, siap google the method and youtube for the whole of week... hubby siap boring, tak abis-abis utube muffin, buat tak juga..... all the method sama lah, janji sedap. Mestilah kena ber'utube' i ni bukan Nigella Lawson or Anna Olsen tau..... uhuhuhuhuhu!

So, gigih mengoogle resipi dan cari kat youtube cara-cara buat muffin.Teruja betul tau. Penat-penat setengah hari kat padang Lil Tots tu, tak kisah lah penat lelahnye.....teruja nak buat. Settle kan keje-keje rumah & Danisha, siap mandi, bagi susu, tidokan dia dgn pertolongan hubby. Muffin punya pasal, tak dapat nak berjemaah nap bersama. 


After analyzed a few recipes, so finally follow the recipe from this Mamafami blog. Sangat moist dan lembut. Saya tak suka muffin yg agak keras. Kalau dibiar beberapa jam, lagi lah cam kek bantat. So, selama 1 jam di dapur, kelentang...kelentong... bunyi mixer..... ini lah hasilnya!

Favourite coat??

I seldom wear jacket to work, comfortable with 2 pieces, even, the policy in my office is required 3 pieces, you know jacket/coat/blazer, shirt & pants or skirt. But must be 3 pieces. Its a must!The example as below...

Love the hair...


Monsoon just started, heavily rain in the afternoon....sampai malam. Malasnyee nak bangun the nxt morning to work. So, quite freezing in my office, due to centralized aircond, tak leh adjust langsung....Ggggrrrr....... I dont have much collection of coat... i might say a few, but not more than 5 pieces, and most of it old-school, or can I call it vintage?? One of them is complimentary from my office which my name is written or embroidered inside, so I cannot sell the coat.

Lets see whats IN now...my top 5 personal favourite.. 

 so vintage...
ala-ala Victoria Beckham??
lovely pink!!
haiihss....bile nak dpt body cam Kim ni

November ohh November

Mama, Icha nak sekolah..

Danisha going to 4 yo next year. So org kata, dah sesuai sangat nak hantar dia pegi Playschool or kindergarten kan. By now, every minutes, every hour, every day.... asyik cakap pasal sekolah. Telinga kiterorg ni dah jadi kebas hari-hari cakap nak pegi sekolah.

image from google

So, for the past few weeks, we're looking for the best kindergarten + daycare for her near to our house. Jealousnyee those yang duduk dgn parents, boleh tengok-tengokkan anak masa kite pegi keje kan.. untungnye you all yea. The best example is my brother and sister. They are so lucky... dari kecik sampai dah sekolah, anak-anak mak yg tengokkan. I wish I live near to my mother's house. Bukan nak susahkan parents, kite letak maid kat rumah mak, at least ada mak boleh tengok-tengokkan maid jaga anak-anak kita. So maid tak lah buat suka suki kan...

So, finally we found few potential kindergarten with kebaboooommm fees. Yes, now i realized how expensive the education nowadays even for lil one, I mean for 4 years old toddler. Persoalannye, haruskan kite bukan akaun SSPN?? Terdapat beberapa isu disitu..later lorr kite elaborate k..... The fee, boleh dapat sebiji Galliera Damier idaman mama, tau Icha! (selfish mama in da house)

Having a few conversation with few senior colleagues and my sisters, yang ada 3 - 4 orang anak. How they managed financially and the most important things emotionally. I baru anak sorang, belum pun sekolah dah tersedu-sedu sbb cepat nya ko membesar nak... rasa cam baru semalam mengandungkan Danisha. Most of them prefers to send Muslim Kindergarten with English Medium, ada yang tak kisah langsung english or malay medium, sebab just a kindergarten...bukan university pun. Kindergarten or playschool just tempat untuk toddler bersosial, develop confident level, self-esteem, to learn phonic, alphabets....macam-macam. Yang paling penting masa di sekolah rendah & menengah, the real battle place. Tapi yang bagusnya sekarang Muslim kindy, boleh ajar anak-anak kita surah lazim, pandai mengaji, kenal Alif, Ba , Ta... tahu cara amik wudhu, cara solat.... tak sabarnya nak dengar Icha baca Fatihah dengan betul.

Apa criteria mommies untuk choose the right kindergarten/playschool/daycare?
My criteria are cleanliness (penting, sangat-sangat penting), cikgu yang baik, penyayang, lemah lembut dan pengasih, tempat yang menarik, syllabus-tak familiar lah, asal boleh baca, kenal huruf, pandai baca doa...etc?, persekitaran yang bersih, kemas, hazard free dan children's friendly. Fees yang berpatutan, ada exta coco like, aikido, swimming lesson or music lesson ke... what else ye?? 

To me, personally, I dont mind actually sending Danisha to the most outstanding kindergarten or just an ordinary school. I want her to develop her social skill, teamwork, communication skill (between her playmate), self-esteem, making new friends...mcm-mcm lah lagi. My dearest Mak pernah cakap, korang adik beradik sekolah tadika K***S je...menjadi orang semua punn..... heheheheh... mak, mak!

At this moment, daycare sangat penting. Dah dapat kinddy, pening cari daycare. Ada kinddy ok, best, takde pula daycare. Challenging betul, this is a parental journey. Most of the time, we're in disagreement. Sampai masam-masam muka kiteorg. Sape nak sekolah sebenarnyee ni...

Ada tak sekolah cam gini..... kalau ada, jgn kata anak, I pun nak masuk sekali..... happening kan!

Sambung nanti boleh tak...... will listed out the potential school in the next entry...

Hey, I'm back...remember me??

Dear Blog,

I've left you more than a month or forever?. Or bile ada mood je baru nak update. Teruknyeee. 

So much to say, so much to give, so much to tell, so much to do..... 


Tak tahu kenapa sangat-sangat malas nak update blog. Sangat-sangat malas nak bercerita. Semangat tu cam dah takde. Semangat cam dah hilang. Where is my blogging spirit??

Ok, nak promise satu je, Insya'allah nak update blog ini sebab nawaitu, untuk jadikan journal. Tapi tak kesampaian, kena keje keras dapatkan SEMANGAT balik ni...

Chaiyok!

Adakah aku akan kurus seperti mereka?

Tidak selalu saya menatap dan merenung advert tersebut.. Ketika menunggu LRT saje dan diikuti dengan pelbagai perasaan.

Mulalah terbit rasa geram, marah, sakit hati, cemburu, nyampah..kadang-kadang tersenyum berangan badan slim-melim macam Lisdawati atau Ziana Zain. Hahaha...merapu dan berangan mmg seronok. FREE. Tak kena bayar pun.

Azam nak kurus memang tak akan padam sampai bila-bila. Hairan, setiap kali berazam, pasti bertambah berkilo-kilo. Takpe, sebelum menjelang bulan 12 (ye ke!) hilang lah berkilo-kilo tu. Heheheh. Berangan lagi. Berazam kurus masa puasa. Memang saya kurus, hilang 2-3 kilo tapi ditop-up balik dengan laksa johor mak yang sangat menjilat jari. Aduhai..

Keluhanku ketika menuju destinasi Sg Besi.

Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir Batin..
