Since we’re still in the CNY mood, here are some photos taken at our family friend’s home during the reunion dinner and on the first day too.

If you remember correctly, Sairah was just a itty bitty thing when she first celebrated her FIRST CNY!

And now look at her……..she was our entertainment those two nights, LOL. Children always are…..it’s free, they say and do the wackiest cutest things and we laugh and laugh in return so why not?

This was during the reunion dinner. Believe it or not, we had malay food which goes to show how Malaysian we are.

She was entertaining everyone with her chicken dance.

And this is Deric entertaining her back while showing off his phone.

Aunty Elaine giving out an orange to Sairah…

Happiness in receiving an orange! Or anything for that matter.

I”ll trade you my orange for that dog Aunty. What say you hmmm?

Screw the orange, let’s see what’s in my pink angpow packet.

Isnt this like the cutest pink angpow packet you’ve seen for a kid?

Then on the first day of CNY, the same family friend threw a get together for her relatives. The house was jam packed with laughter, good food and company. More people also equals more angpow packets for the kid RM160 to be exact, not bad for a kid of 16 months.

Sairah wore this gorgeous pink chinese outfit which my parents bought from Macau. I don’t remember seeing this type of outfit here as it usually comes with pants. I love the fact that this one comes in skirt form, so the girly! She rocked it further with this pink headband with ribbons attached to it.

I”m Chinese today mom

Making his debut was Baby Ethan who Sairah developed a strong liking for. She somehow favors babies instead of toddlers.

She also showed her big sister side which prompted some to ask us when’s the next one coming, hmpfff, well no, not anytime soon.

Yea everyone loves to fuss over a baby. He’s so cute and chilled out. If I have another baby, I want her to be as chilled out as him, hehe.

FACE OFF, hahaha

But we’re friends now.

Here she is again sitting by his side for a long time and even rocked his baby chair. She definitely was good company to the little one. It was too cute! Think I’ve  found the perfect nanny for my next baby, lol.

Okay baby let’s entertain people…

It was then she decided to show everyone how a baby cries

And this is my shocked face

Yup, will only feed self if there’s chocolate cake involved!!

YEE SANG TIME!

Second time for both baby and daddy

Hmm, can I have some of that?

I can’t decide if I like it or not, yet I’ll just continue eating it!!

Okay I can live with this!  It’s no chocolate cake but keep it coming grandma…

Geez, the four day holiday was what we totally needed! But I”m over the moon that tomorrow will be another short holiday for me in view of FT day (I LOVE YOU KL  even though your traffic gets shittier by the day I swear).

How was your CNY? Hope it was as good as ours!

So my hubby FINALLY redeemed his b’day gift that I got him in January LAST YEAR. To recap – it was 4 sessions of water-skiing in Putrajaya.

He made his way down there on Sunday early morning with my cousins and embarked on an adventure of a life time. Sadly, it will be something he can only talk about with no photos to prove coz my cousin Roshan was too lazy to take photos of him in action.  I would have taken lots of photos IF only I tagged along, alas, a mommy’s gotta sleep in with her little one and to be frank, I would rather sleep in then wake up at a god forbidden time of 8 in the morning to WATCH someone water ski

We woke up at 10.45 a.m that Sunday, baby and I :D And by the time we did, hubby was on the way back from his adventure

For now, he has muscle aches as testament of perfoming such a cool sport.

Mommy’s face of the day: oh so well rested. But still look like crap.

Baby’s face of the day: Naughty. As usual.

Lucky for him, the wifey brought her camera along during lunch so yes at least we have photos to show we had lunch together AFTER the great big water-ski action

Chosen restaurant: Zest Restaurant in Bangsar South coz apparently it’s the healthy way to eat and I had some awesome vouchers to use up It was my second visit there.

It is one of my 2012 resolution to eat healthily and I”ve been loading up the vegs thesedays *nods head* And I suppose Zest Cafe goes well with my new resolution coz they take alot of pride with their food since its made of low salt, low sugar, low cream, no margarine and they use 100% olive oil and the best of all, no MSG! I could roll with that.

The group. Don’t know why the aunty is posing for my camera, haha.

Baby Sairah had the Chorizo soup. I love how she can finally eat out with us, makes trips to the malls a whole lot easier now that I don’t have to worry about feeding her ’special’ food. This is one of my favorite soups, and I’m not usually a soupy kinda gal. She is though

Soup soup soup! Got more soup?

This is the chat-over-panini that we had with a side of hummus. The hummus was sort of tasteless (we shall leave hummus to the arabs okay?) though good thing the bread was pretty flavorful.

Cousin Jeev ordered the Spaghetti Bolognese. Dish came without any salt added to it because they ain’t kidding when they say healthy! Worry not for there’s a salt shaker on every table

Though the spaghetti was a bit of a disappointment to my cousin, their signature dish - Rosemary Grilled Chicken Breast was pretty awesome! Sis, Roshan and I had the SAME exact dish coz we felt it was the most yummiest looking thing on the menu. Their mashed potato was SERIOUSLY yummy making this dish a must have. Best if all it’s ONLY RM11! On our first visit, the hubby tried the same dish but ordered half chicken. We found the portion HUGE and enough for two. So stick with the rosemary chicken and you can’t go wrong

Okay now I”m craving for their mashed potato as I type this :(  

And this was the husband’s Braised Seafood – a medly of prawn, fish and squid in tomato sauce. That’s right, no carbs. He was hungry an hour later! That man has serious issues when it comes to ordering proper food.

Prices are also very affordable! If you go during lunch, their menu is much cheaper. Each dish we ordered was less than RM14 and soups are only RM5 a bowl. All in, a must visit restaurant! My only gripe was the slow service that day, food took about 20 minutes to arrive for some reason.

Aunt and niece having a light moment.

And here are some photos of the hubby’s side we visited that Sunday after lunch.

Yup believe it or not, this little cutie is actually half Indian.

Kids just dig me, ahem. We were having a serious heavy discussion on BARBIE on how that bitch is planning on taking over the world. Barbie for presidency! And world domination!

I seriously LOVE this photo coz I look like a mother of three GIRLS! Dear GOD, if the fortune teller’s prediction of three kids are correct, then please please please make em all girls!

And Baby Sairah actually prefers playing with older kids, preferably girls. Coz boys are just  less gentle. True story.

And that’s the SUN! Which we’ve been having too much lately. Weather on Sunday was 36 degrees. Insaneee!

The End

The hubby’s aunt who visited from US complimented me on my hair recently. She asked me what’s my secret to such shiny hair *bounces hair and strokes SHINY hair* Little does she know it’s because I was sitting under the light and as you know it, dark locks reflects light better, ahem.

Said awesome aunt who thinks I have shiny hair I was obviously grining from one end to the other coz hardly anyone compliments me thesedays Story of my life.

Before that let me digress a little bit. We met them in Pavillion for dinner on Friday and Sairah wore this gorgeous dress a friend bought from Melbourne.

This is her shocked ‘home alone’  look that I taught her!

OMG NO MILK???! THE HORROR!

She’s totally in love with this dolly, wants to carry it where ever she goes, wants to baby it and give it milk….too cute! Only thing missing is the baby’s stroller which I think is a tad creepy to buy….have you seen that in Toys R Us? C-R-E-E-P-Y!

Sayangggg dolly!

And I should let you know that Ben’s has one of the dumbest most uncomfie baby chair everrr!!!

Poor baby struggling in that stupid chair. She obviously sat on it for a good 10 minutes. But I”m so proud of her for leaving her hair clip on

Ok before I disgress furtherrr………..my secret is actually this followed by an awesome potent hair serum which my parents bought from Hong Kong. At least that’s what I think is responsible for the shine coz I have 1001 hair products in my bathroom.

Picked 2 tubes of it during our trip to Bali. Am currently running low on it, any ideas where can I get it locally?

And before I digress further again, I should have you know that I haven’t cut my hair in THREE freaking months. Or is that four months?? It’s super long now.

Below bra length to be precise *strokes super long hair, my preciousssss*

Banshee like hair until you can ‘t see me face, haha, but oooo so shiny!

It’s not that I don’t want to cut my hair and get rid of the split ends, I seriously just don’t have the time to step into a hair salon. It is indeed a luxury. Moms would tell you this.  Gone are the days of spending hours in a hair salon to get it  washed, steamed and treated using glorious treatments.

I feel so bad about lying to my new hair-stylist though coz I happily promised him after my hair cut that I”d like to color it and said I’d be back in one week’s time for that.

It’s been months since I went into hiding.

I don’t want to piss him off coz he’s actually an awesome hair-stylist, having worked in London and all for years.

Well now I’m hoping he’d forget my face and my big mouth when I go back there next

I only realized my hair was super long after seeing that photo. So naturally I shoved the camera in front of the husband’s face to ask him if I should maintain this wonderful length or cut it.

Immediatelywithout hesitating or even looking at that damn photo, he screamed, CUT IT. CUT IT OFF.

But but I look nice and feminine in long hair don’t you think? Just like old times….I said.

But you spend so much time getting it blow dried and ironed. It will be a whole lot faster if you have it shorter, he argued.

Hmpffff, MEN! What the hell do they know. Short or long hair, I stil take about 40 minutes to get ready which I think is a pretty awesome feat coz I can manage to wash my hair, blow dry this thick mop of a hair and iron it so I don’t look like a lion, slap on makeup, change bags and transfer its contents (happens when you’re a bag-aholic), pack up baby’s diaper bag AND still get dressed. Did he really think having shorter hair would cut down my preparation time to like 15 minute? Hmpff, fat hopes. I am a woman afterall I say it willl only take off 5 minutes, the most coz seriously how can cutting off 2-3 inches cut down time significantly? My sillyy silly man.

Come to think of it, I really oughta let my hair grow LONGER and let it shed all over the bed at the same time. In particular, his side of the bed Just because I can.

What about you? How long does it take to get ready? Hair and all? And don’t lie, esp if you’re a woman, haha :D

Sometime I ago, I won this little consolation prize from Hilton KL’s microsite contest giveaway.

I was excited as hell because what can I say, I usually win smaller prizes that comprise of movie tickets, merchandize, food voucher – it would normally be very small (and boring too!) in value and safe to say this is the most expensive prize to date, lol. Actually wait, I won TWO tickets to see STOMP but son of a bitches FORGOT to inform me about my win. Can you imagine how I felt when I got a call at 7pm that night asking me if I was at the venue ready to meet the crew already???

Yea, my luck is quite shit, hahaha.

Chosen restaurant:  Boardwalk Restaurant. The settings were pretty romantic I have to say.

Eeeks! Expensive as hell! We’re not big on dining in hotels because it’s usually a very expensive affair. And something we could do without. But hey if it’s free…..:D

Decided to invite my family and hubby’s Uncle who was on the way back to Guam. BabySis was there too but you can’t see her since she was busy taking these photos

Clingy Sairah. She was on her naughty mode and refused to sit in her chair.

I”m SO naughty today!

See, didn’t want to read her book either

The food was so so, which is a suprise considering how expensive they are. However, the highlight would be their desserts. Definitely.

Blueberry cheesecake

Warm Chocolate Brownie. Both sinfully GOOD!

Total bill was close to RM400! Definitely an exhorbitant sum for food that was meh.

But never mind that, must show off this gorgeous dress BabySis got Sairah. It’s sooo girly!!

Here she is giving you various poses that only my 15 month old girl is capable of doing

Talk to the hand!

It’s all in the eye motherrrr

And nose perhaps.

Imma going to give you a smile!

And now a serious look.

And now I’m going to be a busybody.

She’s almosttttt there.

LOVE this dress to bits so excuse me if you see her in it for the next few hundred times.

I”m serious about the title Now say that in the thickest Indian accent

Our weekends are usually filled with fun trips to the mall with Baby Sairah in tow. But last weekend, we took a short break from nappy duties and headed out two days in a row at night!! And by that if you thought we went clubbing or partying then you’re wrong! Coz I’ll be first to admit that all that doesn’t excite us anymore. True story

Of course these lil outings were made possible thanks to mom who graciously baby-sat bear bear for us until we got home so thank you mom for letting these two jakuns have some adult clean fun We don’t normally do this but it’s been ages since we went out and did something so this was a nice change……..but of course, we sure did miss her!

Hi, I’m about to whip out some serious singing yo coz the last time we went for a karaoke night out was in May!

Naturally cousin Rosy is always the FIRST to get into the spirit……..and he’s always in charge of picking out the songs. The Bangla of the group if you must

Sooo much emotions put into this song!

Of course BabySis and Suraj spent most of their time TALKING about cars since somebody is gonna be a proud owner of her own car soon, ahem. Suraj obviously needs to get some booze in there before singing…..

Warming up….

And now we sing….

Some guitar hero wannabe action going on!

Total Bill: RM0 coz RedBox knows I”m such a VVIP :) The deal is still available on MyDeal if you’re keen

Last year, I attended the first Kings and Queen Of Comedy show with Nicole & Mimi. It was sooo hillarious that I was afraid for my C-Sect stitches. So when Nicole told me they were having another show this year, I was bent on going. Unfortunately the hubby tagged along on Saturday and was being a bit cheap (we have a baby now he reasons) so we bought the cheapest tickets and sat right at the end!

Oh hai, I”m a cheapo, har har!

Bad seats aside, we had a blast!! The Kings were hillarious and of course Queen Joanna was awesome too. Since we don’t have that many women comedian, I’m curious to know which Queen will take over IF they have a show again next year. We’ll I’m hoping it will be Kumar again! :D  S(he)’s awesome!

We had alot of laughters but I would say for me, Sugar Sammy was the highlight of the show. I”ve previously seen his work on Youtube and found him hillarious. Not only is he super funny (think Russell Peters), he was quite the looker as well. The ladies definitely went nuts.

Like so……….

And so…….I saw some after-party photos on FB and my oh my, ladies were indeed all over him :D  But the annoying part was the hubby, who for starters kept sticking on to me like glue AND to top it off,  told me to quickly jump in to take a photo with him like the rest of em. Girls were literally jumping in to take a photo with him.

Like HELLO, some of us actually have ego pride and must be maintain cool okie. Different story if it was John Abraham coz I would have clawed my way through! :D

Of course, I waited and waited like a fool until no other bitch woman jumped in front, then only I graciously posed for a photo. With pride in tact.  I am afterall a mother

See, so much composure and calm-ness despite standing next to a hottie.

That’s how real women roll, heh.

Looking forward to the show again next year!

For more photos, check the album out here and see if you can spot my blurred out I’m-too-cool-for-this face.

To keep yourselves updated about the latest comedy shows, like this page. because life should be filled with laughter even if you have to pay for it.

Wokeh bye! Now say that in the thickest Indian accent
