The chorus was very contagious even I can't help but singing along with them. Anyway, being Erin, when Kelabu became Belabu, Youtube became LuTiop and Penutup became Lutup, it is indeed miracle if she gotten all the lyrics correctly isn't it? Where's the fun to it right? I rather she got it wrong so we could have something to laugh about for a long time ha ha ha....

Alis was singing the song passionately one day when below conversation took place ...

Alis : It's a perfect Christmas... it's a perfect christmas.. it's a perfect christmassss.. when I', with you....

Erin : Kakakkkkkkkk, NO NO NO NO NO NO (** siap geleng geleng pejam mata, complete with hand gesture, just to express how wrong Alis was**).... Salah tu. Bukan It's a Perfect Christmas... E TER KERFECT CHRISMAS ! E TER KERFECT! E TER! E TER!

:: My lil' Ms KERFECT ::

Salam everyone .. Hope all is well..

As for me, I wasn't in my pinkest of health lately. Been down almost 4 days due to fever. The fever started with mild attack and endurable muscle pain, and gone after I consumed few dosages of Panadol only to come back with more violent and massive attack. The last 4 days to me was by far, among the most tormenting moments I've ever experienced. Being someone who wasn't particularly a health conscious, flu-cold-coughing and fever was nothing new to me, but the fever I had few days back was definitely something else. My system was totally shutting down. I thought i had gone bonkers. I couldn't even get up from bed nor had any energy even lifted my hand was a chores. I get up from bed only for pray, took medicine, food and toilet. The rest of my day was spent shivering under the blanket, writhing endlessly and snapped at every moving/living things. I've consumed almost all over the counter medication I probably had, nurofen, panadol extra, panadol tak extra, panadol for muscle pain dan adik beradik nyer, but it just not working for me this time.

Unlike other people who usually lost appetites while being sick, I normally don't. Trust me, before this even when I had spiking fever, running nose that would put waterfalls to shame or coughing like mad, I usually eat like normal, as if I wasn't sick. My father used to tease me

Ha ha ha ha ha.

However this time, I lost 2 kilos in 4 days, exactly explained why the word tormenting were chose. It's as if I've grown a garden of thorny bush inside my throat, any input going through it, be it solid or liquid will put me in such agony I rather starve than having that pain again. I think I finally learned what hempedu tastes like and how kain buruk feels like, in these past 4 days. It's all bitter. Even plain water tasted bitter and when nasi goreng cili padi also tasted bitter instead of spicy, this is when I just knew I had to go to hospital.

Long story cut short, I was immediately given 1 jab of I-dun-know-what-is-it-for after my temperature taken, were forced to take 1 panadol there and then, and instructed to do blood test. 2 tubes of blood was drawn out of my vein and result came out 1/2 hour later with few alarming markings. One of it was high infection in blood so as normal I was prescribed with antibiotics ( strong one I must say), body pains medication, cough syrup and fever tablet.

Alhamdullilah despite few minor side effects from the antibotics like dizzyness, upset stomach and loya, I am all better now. I should be back, kicking and running in no time I promise :).

My girls on the other hand, was all fine. They had their shares of fever episodes a weeks earlier and alhamdullilah, the fever was not repeating. My husband was working on 3 night shifts in a row when I was sick so basically after he left for work at 6pm, my kids kinda had to take care of themselves since their mummy was malfunctioned. All I could do was lying near by them, monitoring and staring at them playing with each other until they fell asleep by themselves. I had to say that they both are indeed a great, independent and angelic kids. Knowing that I wasn't healthy, they just minding their own things and doesn't even bother me. They even poured their own milk into cups before bed, changing their pajamas and taking cereal when they feel like having it, all by themselves. They cared so much up to the point of fighting of whose gonna help mummy when mummy ask for anything. Mostly I'd asked for their help to take water or blanket. To solved this, I had to assigned each tasks specifically by calling one name each time I needed help so anyone whom name wasn't get called up that time, will be call for next task. Alis even remembered to charge my hand phone before going to bed. How thoughtful ! Masya Allah I was blessed for having them. I am one proud mummy!

You have no idea how guilty I felt towards my kids for being sick, but I am back to realizing that being sick, getting better and even death are not in my hand to decide. It's up to Him for He knew better. He knows best. All I could to is pray to be given back my health, and for all my sins to be forgiven and also for my kids doesn't get hurt or do anything reckless during this period.

I snapped below pictures to remind me of my proudest moments...

:: The double chin lil' diva fell asleep beside kakak. Strangers always mistaken them as twins now that Erin was almost the same size as Alis, only shorter by couple of inch I think, despite their 2 years differences. This kid can really eat I tell you ::

:: Landed at lala land ::

:: Tertido while Utubing. Gadgets could sometimes work with us or against us. This time around I would have to agree with the earlier. At least, it helped to lullaby my kids to sleep when I can't ::

:: My lil' helping hands kepenatan. Siap berdengkur bagai ::

Last night, as I was resting in my living room, something caught my attention. It's more on what Erin did caught my attention so I slowly picked up my camera, point and shoot before she realized my intention and stop whatever she's doing.

:: Can you see that she's practically "perosok" kan kepala der into that small pointy space? Just to watch Utube on iPhone? I don't understand what was the reason that lead her to this bizzare position. Not like anyone will take the phone away from her. The only person that would already deep in her sleep and she's aware of that. My oh my ! ::

I felt like eating rojak mamak since few days back so I've decided to make a batch today for lunch. When it comes to rojak, most people will have Penang's passembor in their thoughts. On the contrary, I would be reminded of Rojak Mamak at Tampines. It's so sinfully delicious I would make an effort to get my rojak Tampines fix the moment I arrived Singapore, without failed. Even my husband became addictive to it. If you happened to be in Singapore, please please please try it out. It's located in the hawker center next to Tampiness Mall. You won't regret it, trust me. You just have to try it for yourself to believe.

My husband on the other hand, had rojak ayam in his mind the moment I mentioned about making rojak that day. It's a Terengganu version of rojak, eaten with fried chicken and mee. To sums up, we don't have mee and fried chicken in my type of rojak mamak while Tganu version of rojak ayam doesn't have kentang rebus, if I'm not mistaken. Since both version are basically a type of rojak with only few differences in terms of the side dishes it came with, I've decided to combined both version, Singapore and Terengganu into one dish, named Rojak SingaGanu heheh...

:: Best pulak main label label ni ::

:: My husband's portion. Lempung was from korban recently ::

:: With the gravy ::

My girls nowadays are very opinionated. They indeed have an answer(read : excuses) to almost everything . Not only they mastered the skills of giving excuses at a very early age, I found now that they have tendency of playing blame someone else game. Kakak pointed to adik, adik pointed to kakak when asked of who's behind certain certain something or when being told to do something. Luckily I had only two kids at the mo so it's either A or E. Just imagine if I have 8-9 kids, I'll get worn out just by trying to figure out who spills the milk. At the end of the day, I'll be the one who eventually do all the things I've been meaning to ask them to, out of irritation and annoyance by their finger pointing game.

Anyway, back to towels bits, again today, I found wet towels laying on the sofa so I called the girls, started with the eldest. It's always the eldest whose get it first eh ...

Then later on, similar incident happened. So this time, to be fair, I called the smaller one first....

Moral of the story : Gems across the ocean u can see one, but elephant right smack in front your eyes you sure cannot see one maaaaaaaaaaaaa...

As many other Malaysians around the world, I wouldn't wanna miss the opportunity to celebrate this year Eid at embassy. To make it sweeter, there'll be gotong royong korban at embassy and we're among those who were given the opportunity and extra rezeki to perform our korban this year, the more reason for me not to miss the embassy event this time.

What's an event without a food? So let's start with the list of sinfully delicious spread we had on the Eid morning. This year, with guidance and idea from Datin Azlinda, gotong royong is our theme. Since the main menu decided was Nasi Tomato, the menu was distributed evenly among us mommies to prepare personally at home and bring to embassy that morning to be assemble. To name a few, Datin decided to took charge of Nasi Tomato, so others can choose other menu from the list. There's varieties of suggested menu from nasi impit, jelatah, ayam masak merah, dalca, kuah lodeh to hot and cold beverages. I chose to prepare kuah kacang. Others can bring other type of food that wasn't in the main list like desserts and whatnot. A very good arrangement I reckon since it can avoid duplicate menus, high volume of wasted food as in everything had been decided beforehand and honestly, you can feel the spirit of muafakat much much more, this way.
