Family Trip

The trip was way back then in March, it is now August and I still havn't wrote anything about it. Heh.

My family and I went for a short trip to Perth, for my birthday (well, since I'm the one booking the flights, I decided to set the dates just so we would be there for my birthday ngeeee).

Why Perth? Because no Perth, means Daddy will not be coming. He's been obsessed with that place since I was little. If it was up to me or Abang......we would be flying to Melby *hi Aja*.

Anywhooo....pictures!!

Perfect short trip. Time well spent with le familia...ignoring teeni spat here and there.

Where to next??

Italian Raya

How many days can you guys eat raya food? As in all day?

I can only stuff so many ketupats down my throat but I gave up on the evening of 2nd day of raya. Cannot lah, I mean I do love our traditional, festival, ahmayzing, delicious food but though I could give my tummy a little break.

Discussed with the family and I went to get something different for dinner.

Pizza Hut.

Hehe.

It was good.

Don't worry, I had ketupats the next day for breakfast.

1st Day

This year my raya was more....chillaxing. It was just eat, chill, eat, sleep, eat, eat, sleep. Everytime we have someone over I'll have a meal, so you can only imagine how I feel by the end of the day. I'm sure I'm not the only one..

Thank god my baju raya material was the stretchy kind. See, I thought about my food intake when I purchased it, haha. Good buy, Sharifah.

The Food :

The Not-So-Little Pei :

She wanted to put on make up so I rented her my make up and Stepmom styled her up. She's all grown up *tears*

We had a little picture moment while waiting for people to arrived...and before the make up all cair....

....and what's Raya without family selfie, no?

Selamat Hari Raya from all of us!!

Busy Ramadhan

Another month have passed without blogging. Wow.

A few months back, I had a long talk with Daddy about looking for another job, and after thinking it through, going back and forth, i decided to resign from my current job. Plus, Daddy even said  'Adik, you should just take some time of and just relax while looking for a new job (yeaaaah rigggghhhhtttttt! I'll tell you why in a second)'.

A couple days after puasa month started was my last day of work (woohoo!!!), and I was ready to play Candy Crush all day, I had my Keeping Up with the Kardashians all piled up waiting for me, my bed and pillow all fluffy....I was ready to enjoy my 'break'.

......boyyyyy was I wrong.......

Alright, if you hav'nt already know, Azrin and I have been selling Honey Kokoflakes Cookies prior to Raya every year for the past 4 years and this year we had to make the most cookies. Ever. Alhamdulillah. Thank you, customers!

Secondly, Stepmom decided to sell some food during this Ramadhan month somewhere in Hartamas, so I thought, since I'm not doing anything, I might as well lend a hand in between my Kardashian episodes, right?

Funny, Sharifah.

For a month, my daily schedule was roughly like this :

7.30pm - Buka puasa

10 pm - Bake Cookies

1 am - Pre-prepare food for the next day

3 am - Sahur

4 am -Sleep

10 am- Wake up

1 pm - Prepare food

3 pm - Set up stall (carry canopy, tables, chairs under hot sun while fasting and sit under heat in front of delicious food. All test from God)

6.45 pm - Clean up and close down stall

...and the cycle goes on....


No Candy Crush.

No Kardashians.

Heck, I hav'nt even had time to apply for jobs!!

...but it's ok, I am thankful that God gave me some extra rezeki on this beautiful month. It's been great. I am kinda sad that it is coming to an end. Last day of puasa. It's going to be Raya in a few hours time. See you next year, Ramadhan!!

Selamat Hari Raya guys! Maaf zahir and Batin. Have a Wonderful Raya!!

Ramadhan

Its that time of the year, where we let our body rest a little while from all the munching and swallowing the whole year (but errr.....with the Bazar Ramadhan everywhere...we'll see about that), we do a little bit of 'extra' praying to get closer to God, beg for His forgiveness, ans also its that time where we spend more time with family.

How awesome!

With the hot hot weather right now, I admit its going to be a challenging Ramadhan, but we can do this, right? Make sure that we are not only fasting with food and drinks, but also eyes, ears, mouth, everything. Be good, guys!

Anyway, Selamat Berpuasa!

#throwback  Siapa tak puasa penuh, tak boleh raya...

Weekend Celebration

Last weekend, we did something we have never done before!

It was Father's Day, also Daddy & Stepmom's 1st anniversary. Pfft, so mengada, right?

The whole family went...karaoke-ing!

First time!

Everyone was ready to show off their vocal skills. Hehe.

....and here comes our little talent

God knows how many times she sang 'Let it Go' *shoves tissue in ears*

I have a couple videos of everyone singing, and Daddy dancing *gasp* but I shall not put it up here hehe

It was a fun 3 hours, I must say. 

We should make it a weekly thing, no? What say you, familia??

Havoc Saturday

Is it just me, or its crazy hot these days. Shower - step out of bathroom - sweat dripping. Haih.

Last Saturday, was my cousin's wedding. Had to wake up at 9, because I had to become a hairstylist for my dear Azaliya who flew back that morning. Saturday. 9am. Just for you, doll!

Beautiful wedding. Gorgeous bride and groom. Delicious food. Perfect!

Congratulations Abang Mal & Kak Sheena!!

Right after the wedding, had to rush back, change, make-up touch up and head to an event in Pencala.

It was fun, they have all these stations where they take polaroid pictures of you, free food, and my favourite comedians were the hosts.

Nabil & Angah from Raja Lawak!

They were high-larious! Until I got called up on stage.....

Seriously wanted to strangle them both. No pictures, because it was embarrassing.

After the event, Daddy and Stepmom asked Azrin and I to join them at Istana Hotel's lounge to chill and listen to music. Abang and Elisa joined after.

I was so tired by then..but anything for a good family time, no?

Review : Maleficient

Azrin and I are on the movies fever, where we spend every Friday night watching movie (which I'll be yawning halfway through the movie because my bedtime is 9pm..growing old sucks).

Last Friday, it was Maleficient. I mean, its Angelina Jolie! Did'nt bother reading what the movie is about.

About 15 minutes through the movie, Azrin was giggling like cray next to me. It was'nt even a funny scene. He kept giggling and giggling...getting creepy!

Me : Why are u laughing you weirdo
Azrin : The 3 fairies are like Sofi, Lala and you. Hihihihihi.

Dots.

Well, we clearly know which one is Sarah, don't we?

Gahahaha.

Anyway, the movie was just so-so to me.

Spoilers ahead!

I mean, its sleeping beauty. With Jolie.


Review : 5/10

Stepmother Surprise

Abang, Elisa, Shafiqah, Azrin and I planned a surprise birthday party for Aunty Lynn a couple of weeks ago. I secretly told Aunty Lynn's sister about it, asking her to invite all of her family.

We had it all planned out - location, cake, balloons and also dividing the food and decorations bills (-__-')

Everything was going perfect, until the morning of the party, I got a text from stepmother..

"Adik, Fafa told me about the surprise..haha!"

.............................

Went crazy on "birthday group" whatsapp planning with the rest on how to cover the surprise. Did'nt go so well, haha.

Apparently Little Niece have been asking her stepgrandma to "practise tonight's surprise".

"Baba, tonight we all hide...and surprise!!! Jom practise, Baba..."

Haih.

I kidnapped Little Niece (before she tells her more surprise) and went to set up balloons and decorations before the guests arrived.

Aunty Lynn's family arrived, but I had to excuse myself to go to the bank for a little while, and when I got back, I saw Daddy's car.

Whuttttt?! Major fail lah. I told Daddy to text me when he's on the way. Nada. Nil. Zero.

Abang, Elisa and Shafiqah came 5 minutes after birthday girl.

-_____-"

Abib's family - fail.

Aunty Lynn cried though because she was surprised that her family was there. She was shocked that her mother, sisters, nephews and nieces were there *blows nail*

Happy Birthday Aunty Lynn. I know that there's nobody in this world that could replace my mother, but I couldn't ask for a better stepmom.
