Po-po-po-po-yo face, po-po-po-yo face

Came across an interesting site (which u may have probably seen it a long time ago) to fake up magazine covers of our own personal pictures. I had fun trying them out; got a little carried away at one point. But here are the results... a result of my poyo-ness, I must say hehehe (especially gambar kawin tu). I may appear vain to you, but I really am not. After viewing these pics, I realised I'm not a magazine-cover-material. My facial expressions (not to mention my just-average-look) are far from the model-like expressions, posing pun tak reti, stone je. I guess my favourite of the lot are those of my children and my home! Hahaha. Happy viewing. Ta-daaahhh!

Laugh when you can

These certainly made me laugh, on my gloomy Monday morning. Maybe they'll cheer yours. Thanks, Roza. I just love animal-related humour.

Oowie and goowie

Dini and I once rode on a giraffe, can you believe it? Not a real giraffe, of course. It's one of those mechanical kemetot giraffe, at Ikano. The part I hate most is masa binatang tu berhenti, coz it'll be right in the middle of nowhere (since you cannot predict when the time will end). Dini did not look too amused herself, as you can see from the pics.

I'm also recommending the quadro pizza at Porto Romano, sedap gila. THIS is my kinda pizza... rasa macam duduk kat overseas (???) Just look at the oowie and goowie cheesy chewwy cheese, mmmm yuuuummm yum! Bad for my cholestrol level though. Their onion soup is extremely tasty and their calamari salad is a very appetizing too. Try them!

Twins in Action

Wafa attempted to illustrate her twin cousins in one of her creative sketches, which I think is highly admirable and deserve to be complimented. I find it forever interesting to be able to witness how a child's mind works, don't you? Nurung umi doh tu, Wafa... panda nukih ;-) Nak komen sikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit je (don't I always have something to say?). Tapi....... "Mana telinga Irfan?" Hehehe.

Below is a courtesy from Kak Farah who caught the twins in action in her mobile camera. Thanks, sis! (You'll be able to hear Dini's voice in the vid who said "Baby!")

The Club

Certainly had fun and a glorious time at The Club last weekend with my whole family, including Kak Farah's. Unfortunately she could not join us in the huge olympic-size pool but fortunately for me, ada orang boleh tolong ambik kan gambar *wink*

I am highly recommending this place, especially those with kids. They will most surely enjoy themselves to the max. Besides shopping complexes, this is a better way for a weekend hangout considering how much exercise can be made, outdoor pulak tu. It's an alternative to Sunway Lagoon for all Kay Ellians. Entrance fee RM15 for children above 1, and RM18 for adults (only chargeable for those who wish to dip themselves in the pool). Weekdays, half price.

They've got other great facilities too - 9-hole golf course, gymnasium, tennis, squash, badminton and even futsal. But I'm not sure of the rates, though.

Here are all our happy pics... happy viewing. Notice how excited Dini looked! Mijoe, awok keno bowok anok2 awok gi sano, beh gilo...

Stop-Look-Go

Most people who pass us by will either pause or stop to look at our twins in their stroller and then some would go "so cute!". Most of them would whisper among themselves "eh, twins la!" tapi ada jugak yang akan tanya "twins ke?" (d-uh!). This is an almost definite scenario whenever we bring out our twins pegi jalan-jalan. The same thing happened at The Curve last two weekends. I have gotten used to it already. Bangga sikit2 pun ada hehe.

Silver Lining

We went to watch 2012 last week, on one of our rare dates. Terpaksa ambik 1/2 day leave, but it was well spent and worth it for me. Not much because of the movie, but mainly because of the quality movie-together-gether time which we seldom get to do a lot since the twins were born. Especially when we finally indulged ourselves into the platinum suite, at Cineplex @ eCurve (hubby got a discount, being a BMW WhiteCard member). Gila mahal, tapi gila mewah. I felt like I was on a business class flight on a two and a half hour trip, haha.

Sambil tengok movie sambil makan lunch, served after the movie started. We ordered quite a lot, coz I was famished - meatballs, hotdog, chicken wings, fries, wedges, and popcorns, hehe. Comfortable recliners, big enough to fit two people in it (one couple really did, duduk berdua dalam satu seat, ugh! I bet they paid for two, actually). There is even a button to call up waiters attending to your needs, sebijik macam dalam aircraft. The outside lounge was extremely large, toilet pun premium quality. Call me a jakun, memang aku jakun pun. Hehe. My only complaint is, dalam tu tersangat lah sejuk... I pressed the button and asked for a blanket, and what do you know, it's chargeable at 5 ringgit per piece. Sabar je lah. Terus aku cancel. Tahan je lah sejuk sekejap.

Overall, my heart was touched, my eyes wept and I was completely entertained by the movie with their superb CGI effects and all. There were quite a number of amusing scenes for me, when it was not intended to *I think*. Too many close-calls, slim-misses, sampai tak masuk akal pulak rasanya... hilarious. I laughed while crying, macamana tu?

Also met our local artist, Esma Daniel with a lady company. He even gave me a goofy smile when he saw that I almost fell masa mula-mula duduk kat kerusi besar tu. Malu nya... but hey, ain't he friendly?

They're juicing back!

The housewives are back, in their 6th Season now! Weeee... my tv-life is colourful again. I'm also currently waiting for my mail to arrive (thanks, Abe!) for the new Gossip Girls season. Cam siput la Pos Malaysia ni kadang2... hence the term, snail mail.

A few spoilers for local DH fans: ;-)
  • Mike remarries Susan! (yep, not Katherine)
  • Katherine becomes obsessively psychotic over Mike (who wouldn't be? hehe)
  • Bree has a steamy affair with Karl
  • Lynette is pregnant with twins again and faces dilemma after being promoted
  • Julie has an affair with a married man, the new neighbour
  • Susan is facing trouble raising a no-longer-goodie-too-shoes teenage daughter
  • Gaby's hot teenage niece is becoming a daily challenge for her while John makes his appearance again (divorced, loaded and still in love with Gaby)
  • A new family moves into the neighbourhood, possessing their own dark secrets
Jangan marah.....!

I certainly hope this won't be their last season. Don't mind the predictable plots, just as long as they desperately stay in Wisteria Lane on air! Hehehe.
