February 2010 happenings... continued...

Hi all!

Guess what? Yes, I did get to see some Lion Dance action on Chinese New Year weekend! Woohoo!
We saw it by chance when we stopped by at a mall in Subang (Subang Parade) to buy a birthday present for a neighbour...

So, I told you in my previous entry that everyone was on a long holiday weekend because of the Chinese New Year, right? Well, yea, they had Saturday, the 13th till Tuesday, the 16th off from work. So, I was hoping for a 'happening' weekend and I got it!

On Sunday the 14th, we attended a wedding with Tok Abah, Tok Mama, Pak Su, Mama and Ayah Ngah.


Right after that we had to attend a birthday celebration of a friend of mine, Akilah (well, she actually lives next door to Tok Abah's). On the way there, we stopped by at Subang Parade to get her presents. That was where all the action began. We happened to be right on time for the Lion Dance performance! It was soooo exciting! There were 4 lions; 2 red and yellow ones and 2 white and silver ones. They not only did the usual 'walking-on-posts' stunt but they also walked on 2 wires. It was sooo cool!

After buying the presents we went straight to Akilah's house. There, I ate A LOT! I already ate some rice previously at the wedding but somehow I managed to find more appetite to eat some more food at the party, hehehe... Anyway, Akilah looked sweet in her pretty dress and we played ball after eating.



The next day, Monday, we went all the way to Seremban to visit Atuk Ngah Man (although he prefers to be called 'Uncle Man' just like how Mommy and Dadda calls him...) who was down with Dengue and was hospitalised a week prior to our visit. However, he was discharged a day before the CNY so we went to his house instead.
From Seremban, we headed straight to Nek Wan's in Rembau. Of course, needless to say that everybody there were so happy to see me...

The day after that, we had a light breakfast and skipped lunch to have hi-tea with Uncle Nuar as it was his birthday the day before. First we ate at Dome, Subang Parade and after that we walked over to Swensen's to have dessert.

Boy, did I eat a lot that weekend...


Happy Birthday Uncle Nuor!!

The great thing about the CNY week was I only had to go to school for three days!
And then came Saturday, again.

Now, that Saturday, the 20th, we had another celebration. Mak Lel treated us to a lovely dinner at The Daily Grind, Bangsar, where I had Macaroni and Cheese and everyone else had something huge, except Tok Abah. Hehehe... You see, Tok Abah ordered something diferent than the usual steak and burgers. He thought he wanted to try something new.

When the food came, this is what he got...



It was hillarious! I mean, look at his expression! I guess he was disappointed at first but the food turned out to be good and filling too. So, in the end, everybody was happy!


Maammmmaaammm!!



Oh, and I had another 'happening' weekend too! On Saturday, prior to the dinner, I went shopping at Subang Parade with Mak Lel and Aunty Huda while Dadda played football with his colleagues and on Sunday, I went shopping again with them at Ikano and Bangsar, while Dadda was playing golf with Papa, Ayah Ngah and Ayah De, hehe... Owh, I forgot to mention that Nek Wan and Wan Dak was in Subang too.

So, are you jealous that I had a 'blasting' February? Hehe... very interesting weekends indeed...

August birthday celebrations & Salam Ramadan!

Every year in August, we celebrate birthdays of Pak Su (10th), Tok Abah (15th) and Mommy (17th). This year, Tok Abah's birthday fell on a Saturday. Hence, the big celebration dinner was held on that particular Saturday night.

Everytime there's a celebration dinner, we will decide on where to go. Sometimes it can be somewhere new and sometimes places that we've been to and like. This time we decided to have dinner at the PJ Hilton hotel. It was my first time there though everyone else have been there for quite a number of times before. There were supposed to be 10 of us; myself, Mommy, Dadda, Tok Abah, Tok Mama, Pak Su, Aunty Huda, Mak Lel, Aunty Ina and Aunty Min but Mak Lel and Aunty Min couldn't make it at the very last minute. We had a buffet dinner and there were quite a variety of food!


Enjoying my meals with Mommy & Dadda..

Everyone obviously enjoyed the food and had a really good time. We talked and laughed and made jokes and towards the end, presented Tok Abah with his birthday gift which Mommy and Tok Mama had bought earlier during the day. We all shared (at least the adults did...) and bought Tok Abah a new phone. Mommy said Tok Abah had a really old phone which was a classic and had existed since the middle ages (I don't know when that was!). So, now, Tok Abah has a brand new advanced handphone which he can carry everywhere and not hide behind a door whenever he answers the phone.

I was actually just recovering from viral fever so my appetite wasn't as good as always, although I did eat bits of pieces of whatever Mommy took for me. Besides that and a baby who couldn't stop crying at a table behind us which made me very uneasy, we had a blast! Pak Su got new garments from top to bottom from everyone.


One for the album!

On Sunday, we spent sometime with Mama and Papa, together with Tok Abah and Tok Mama at a hi-tea event where I had more good food! Before we headed home that night, Aunty Huda and Mak Lel gave Mommy her birthday present. They gave Mommy a new bag which she really loved and on midnight, at home, Dadda gave Mommy a present too! It was also a new phone but a different one from Tok Abah's, of course. Mommy was delighted to see the new phone that she's been eyeing on for quite sometime. We wished Mommy Happy Birthday and gave her hugs before we went off to bed.

On Monday, Mommy's birthday, she had to go to office very early in the morning. I didn't get to see her when she left but she and Dadda came back earlier than usual and we went to Subang Jaya for a swim with Tok Abah, Tok Mama and Pak Su. After that, Tok Abah treated us to a nice dinner at the restaurant we went on Mother's Day and Aunty Huda joined us.

August B'Day Bash

So, to sum it all up, last weekend was a wonderful weekend filled with celebrations, presents and food!

I guess the adults are preparing for the fasting period that will start this Saturday... hehe...

Selamat Berpuasa Ramadhan Al-Mubarrak!!

Mam-mam...

Eating, an act done by all kinds of beings in order to give nourishments to the body to keep on living. An act which to me is known as 'Mam-mam'. Some people eat to live while some live to eat. Either way, it's a well established fact that food is something that no one can live without.


Getting ready for my favourite activity!!

In my case, 'Mam-mam' is an activity I look forward to every single day. If I were to answer questions about myself, 'mam-mam' will be the answer to 'what's my favourite pastime' question. I hear mothers telling Mommy how their children have trouble eating and I wonder why. Since Mommy introduced me to solids, I can't remember anything in particular that I didn't like. I opened my mouth to any kinds of food Mommy fed and I will go to anyone while their eating and see if I can get a taste of their food.


My 1st taste of solid food, 3 months old!

Enjoying the solid taste of porridge specially made by Mommy - 6 months old


Yeaaayyyy, pancakes & mash potatoes, another one of my favourites!!

But don't get me wrong. Although I eat everything, of course, there are favourites. Food that I love most and the ones I like less. Carbo-wise, I eat anything from bread, rice to pasta and noodles but between all those, I'd prefer pasta and noodles. I also favour sweets less and that's why Mommy seldom gave me cookies, cakes and muffins. My favourite fruits so far, are strawberries and watermelons. Although Mommy prefer cherries to strawberries, I have yet to try cherries. Maybe someday I'll try them and see which ones I like most. Apart from that, there are no vegetables that I dislike and I eat fish, beef and chicken.

My 1st taste of strawberry... Tangy!


Hmmmm, Big Fish & Chips!! Loving it...!

So, there will be no problem in eating when taking me out as I can just about eat anything and anywhere and taking me to food buffets would be just lovely. I'll try and make it worth every penny spent.

And no doubt about it, there are countless numbers of photos of me doing just my thing - 'Mam-mam'.

Dadda's 30th birthday

Dadda turned 30 recently on the 2nd of July. Dadda's big day started at 12 midnight, when Mommy and I kissed and wished him 'Happy Birthday' and gave him a card. Dadda said thank you to us and thought that that was it. Suddenly, Mommy pulled a wrapped gift from under the bed and presented it to Dadda. He was delighted to find out that it was a new phone Mommy bought to replace his broken phone!


Happy 30th Birthday Dadda! Nice Samsung phone thanks to Mommy!

The next day, we went to have lunch with Dadda. I had pasta and potato salad. Mommy and Dadda had pasta too. After the meal we went to the bookstore and spent sometime there before heading home.


Hhhmmmm, dellliiccciooousss!


I'm happy to be 'mammam'-ing!

That night there was another celebration. This time it was with Tok Abah, Tok Mama, Pak Su, Aunty Huda and Mak Lel. There were shrimps, salmon, chicken, beef steak and lots of other food! I ate all the different types of food from everybody's plate! Yummy! They also ordered dessert and some people sang and wished 'Happy Birthday' to Dadda while Dadda 'boogied' on the chair! (he was asked to by those people, hehe..)

Haha! Woke up just in time for mammam time!

Dadda boogey-ing with me!

All in all, I think Dadda had a great birthday. I know I had a great time on Dadda's birthday (from eating!).
I'm waiting for more 'mammam' sessions... yum...

Mak Lel's Dinner Treat

On Wednesday, 25th of February, Mak Lel treated us to a dinner at Tony Roma's, Sunway Pyramid. The people who attended it were myself, Mommy, Dadda, Tok Abah, Tok Mama, PakSu, Aunty Huda, Ayah Ngah Acat and of course, Mak Lel.

Congrats Mak Lel on the BIG BONUS! :)

Mak Lel was the 1st to arrive followed by Tok Abah, Tok Mama and PakSu, and then us, followed by Ayah Ngah and finally, the latest as usual, Aunty Huda. We ordered starters, fried mushrooms and onion loaf. They were so huge that all of us thought we would be full by the time our main dish arrives.


Eagerly waiting for the food to arrive!

After waiting for a while, our main course arrived. Mine came first. Mommy had ordered fish and chips plus mashed potato for me. They all laughed seeing how huge the plate was! I mean, how was I to finish it? I'm a baby!

OMG, is this supposed to be my kiddies meal? Soo happy!

Anyway, after that, one by one, everyone's food came. Mommy, as always, as well as Aunty Huda had grilled lamb chops and Dadda had pasta. Ayah Ngah had burger (what?!) while Mak Lel and Tok Mama had steak ribs and salmon respectively. The most amazing ones were Tok Abah and PakSu who had combo steak each! It was amazing how they can eat that much! Mommy and Mak Lel also ordered Pina Colada apart from their lattes (talk about greedy!)

Mommy's meal.. (only half of it here...)

After that much food, there were still room for desert. We ordered something that had a big cookie at the bottom, topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel. At the end of the dinner we were all amazed at ourselves for being able to eat that much!


One for the album - a group photo of us @ Tony Romas

All the while through dinner we talked and laughed and had a great time! I can't wait to start talking and grow some teeth so I can join the fun of eating and talking.

Enjoy the album slideshow: (me too full & slept after dinner!)
