i wanted to upload some pix that we took yesterday at my parents' place, helping them to finish up with their packing before the upgrading starts tomorrow. but the internet is so so so slowww, that i managed to upload only these two.

above pic: my hub helped putting up the plastic sheets to cover the kitchen cabinet from dust and all.


my kids were amazed to find a typewriter hidden behind my mom's cupboard. they were really glued to it after discovering how it worked. didn't know that this would be the effect when IT kids meet manual.

i take leave from work today to spend the morning with my hub. he has been working so hard these few weeks, reaching home only between 10pm to 12 midnight as he has been taking up few bookings including some airport transfers, foreign workers shifting house, etc etc.

this morning we decided to go back to arab street to have the first meal of the day. i snapped like a tourist along the way, and these are few of the pictures from my memory card.



our last stop was ikea to buy some fabrics to make a farewell gift for my barbie doll (jess). next friday will be her last day with the engineering faculty, and we (chin chin, umah and myself) shall meet my barbie doll next thursday to give her a farewell lunch (and the gift, of course).

above: it was lurv at first sight with this fabric. i adore the vibrant colour prints spread out on the creamy black background.


the fabrics at ikea are just lovely

everyone in the office felt so handicap today. our old printers were removed and the new ones were still wrapped.

my lunch -
mixed fruit juice (apple and orange) : $1.10
rice set with squid sambal and cabbage: $1.90
papaya: $0.40

my friend from work dropped by last week with her new baby girl, aryanah. she's so pretty...congrats faridah!!!

above: fizah took this pic of aryanah and me. i haven't carried a baby for as long as i could remember. i hope i didn't break her fragile bones.

above: aidah seems experienced with babies. aryanah looked so comfy in her arms.

supergirl and her bantal busuk (i really mean 'busuk')

my hub took me to sungei road last weekend. but we went too early and could not find anything much. the street peddlars were only allowed to start their business from 1pm. we plan to try our luck again next time.
