Tasteless Dinner

Mostly for dinner we eat out. I normally cook for lunch rice and the lauk pauk so for dinner we eat out for different tastes.

Since we go out for dinner almost every night there comes a time when you simply just don't know what and where to eat. Anyway, Lan came home tired today so he didn't want to go far for our dinner. I felt like eating mee hoon soup, but there's always a problem with it because the tastiest mee hoon soup or rather fish ball noodles is at KLCC...memang sedap gilerr...but that is wayy way to far for us.

Lan suggested one mamak restaurant at USJ not Seri Melur but another one nearby. I just followed because he was the one driving. I ordered my mee hoon soup and Lan ate tomyam, omellete and rice.

Can't imagine how frustrated I was with my mee hoon soup....it was so bland, tasteless like you just pour water into a bowl of mee hoon....tawar hebe...could not finish my dinner. Just a couple of spoon fishing out the carrots and chicken.

So there you go....actually there will always be the pros and cons of things....of course I'll try to be a little creative next time for my family's dinner but the problem is they all want different things...kue tiaw lah, nasi ayam lah, mee goreng mamak. .....hmmm..may be I should be more creative in finding a good place with tastier meals instead:))

On Thursday, Jasmine asked for my permission for a sleepover with Alia at her friend's house. She wanted to celebrate her 14th birthday with her friends....you know tweens...well, no problem with me and Lan since we know who her friends are...

Suddenly like a twinkle of bright light came the idea...since the kids will not be at home, why not Lan and I spend some quality time together alone somewhere.....hmmm. So on Friday afternoon, Lan booked a room for us at one of the nearby resort. It was like our second home already since we always checked in there for a short getaway, we like the place since it's near, and adjoins to the shopping complex.

We had fun (sort of a second honeymoon) though it was only for a night. We went shopping, ate at our favourite restaurant and just chilled together in the room. Well, the kids joined us on our second night there. Biasalah the kids tu....they just had fun with their close friends so bila they all joined us there bisinglah they all bercerita until the wee hours of the morning. Jasmine had a lot of presents from her friends and she was so excited. Her papa and I was thinking to buy her the i-pod she badly wanted but sorry dear....it is over budget lah... so we ended up with something she likes but within our budget. He..He..he..may be some other time when you do well in your exam, dear.

After checked out, we fetched my son at UM and bawa dia keluar makan at The Curve. Kind of a little tired so after lunch at Secret Recipe (plus their favourite cheese cakes) we sent him back to UM.

The short two nights break was worth it and I got my deserved break. Thanks to my wonderful Roslan...love you always dear. Lan said we could do it more often, so kids .... what do you say???

LOVE....

It's been more than a week since the passing of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. I just blog about Farrah previously and now she's gone. Been hooked to CNN, ENews and the net for any news on Michael Jackson. Just can't get enough to know more about the tragic life of a very special man, very talented and the one and only entertainer that never failed to entertain me.

Even went to his concert in Malaysia in 1996. God I really enjoyed the concert tremendously. That was the one and only concert that I ever attended...and it was worth every single cents spent.

Now after his passing, even Alea and Jasmine had become one of his ardent fans. How could they not be when everyday they are bombarded with MJ video clips and songs. They are awestruck when they see how he can perform the moonwalk and the dancing.

Well....talking about life and death as I have always said before we don't know when our time will come...when the time comes there will be no stopping it.

So better treasure what we have, the love we share with our beloved family and enjoy every second we have with our loved ones. All these events lately just show how short our lives could be.

To my beloved husband Roslan, I love you forever and thank you for coming into my life and sharing your beautiful heart and soul with me. To my wonderful children, I love you with all my heart. To my lovely mother and sisters....love you all so very much.
