I took about 300 odd photos during the CNY weekend And I’ll probably be doing the same this LONG weekend since we’ve got a few things lined up.

Thought I’d just put the photos up instead of letting them sit on my folder

This was on Saturday @ Fahrenheit 88. It was our first time there, went to redeem my pizza voucher at California Pizza Kitchen.

Daddy take the menu and stop scribbling on my paper!

I read on a few blogs about how ‘awesome’ their red velvet cake was suppose to be. Priced at RM22 a pop, I thought I would be experiencing something out of this world. Sad to say the cake had almost NO flavor to it and all we could taste was SUGAR and more sugar!! Honestly what the fark is wrong with some people and their taste buds la? How is this anywhere awesome? I really would suggest to CPK to get in touch with Upstairs Cafe and ask them to supply you their red velvet cakes coz this one was just pathetic!

Looks good, but pathetic. Can’t believe we blew this much for a stupid slice of cake. Yes a week later I”m still very pissed and sore – in a bad way!

That said, food in CPK is pretty good. Just stay away from their desserts!!

Nah – proof we were in Fahrenheit 88

Sairah’s outfit:

Penguin Pink Tee: Gift from my cousin – her favorite Uncle

Leggings with tutu attached: From Jusco – I first saw this and absolutely fell love with it. They have various colors with attached tutus. Too cute!! And priced at RM15.90 – a total steal. Right now I”m looking for a BLACK tank top for her but can’t seem to find one – any ideas??

Taking in the CNY deco:

And lion dance

On Sunday we decided to go to Sunway Pyramid. SP has always been my fav mall back in Uni. But we find it increasingly hard to go there without worrying if we’ll ever find a car park.

I love the expression on both father and daughter.

If she was 20 years older, she’d be gawking and looking at the jewerly. Alas, a kid will be a kid hence her fascination with the balloons. Plus it helps that she’s short

Super heart this shot – she looks like she’s ready to shop and spend her dad’s money, lol

Oops wrong store mom – all too big for me.

This was on Tuesday, last day of our long weekend, so we decided to check Sunway Giza Mall.  Yea you can tell we’re quite the mall-hopper rats during festive season

Mall was pretty dead, but luckily there was this nice looking kiddie play area which Sairah dominated! Only because she was the only kid around there.

A lady does not flash her diapers in public Sairah, hehe.

Haha overly dressed for the playground you reckon? A fashionista’s woe

Enjoyed every second watching her play. She was full of curiousity and just loves the slide. Now gotta convince her dad to invest in one so I can leave it at mom’s place for her to play

Happiness is in a slide mommie. Kids…..they’re just so naive, LOL.

Coffee break @ Austin Chase with her new baby doll.

I think I’ve most certainly fully utilized this Pumpkin Patch dress on her. If I ever feature her wearing this dress again on this blog, please shoot me or donate some money pleaseee.

Flippin a car magazine, just like what daddy likes to do over a good cup of coffee.

I look forward to this LONG weekend again, less mall trips, infact we’ll be having a little road trip with our girl. Can’t wait! Enjoy the long weekend y’all coz it’s gonna be a while before there’s another public holiday

A while ago we were listening to radio and this DJ asked this guy, what has changed in your relationship since dating/getting married.

Immediately I yelled….bugger you hardly take me out to nice dinner thesedays. All we ever do is use the vouchers I buy you bloody cheapskate!

Almost felt sorry for my husband’s ears that day coz out came a bunch of other list. Heh.

So as I was attempting to plan out our Friday he coyly mentioned that he was taking me out to dinner.

See ladies, men always say we nag, but nagging gets things done. True story, tried and tested

Instinctively I had a rough idea where were already going coz I mentioned to him once about this new french restaurant that opened near my office.

Check out me Victorian style ring, me likey!

The interior of La Vie En Rose, which is located in Jalan Raja Chulan

Instintively I also had a bad feeling of them not having a baby chair. And true enough, they didn’t! I was quite annoyed. But I dont’ blame them, whoever takes a baby for fine-dining anyways? This will be probably Sairah’s first and last until she’s a bit older coz let me tell you it’s not easy! Gonna stick to normal restaurants coz she behaves so well there. Well maybe she does coz they actually HAVE a baby chair

A good baby for now….good thing we brought her stroller though she only used it for a good 10 minutes.

The menu….pretty pricey. And food selection is pretty limited. I want BIG soft fluffy french style crossaint on the menu. As main course!!

You can almost tell he’s regretting bringing his wife here after seeing the menu. If we choose to leave now the bitch wife will nag, haha. Yea I can read his thoughts!

But too late! We’re here! With one naughty kid in tow. Ah yes, she was her naughtiest that day.  Refused to sit, refused to eat, refused to let us eat…….all she wanted to do was walk walk walk and fml, I forgot her shoes! And if we didn’t let her walk she’d SCREAM! I felt sorry for the other diners who were trying to get some romantic time, haha. Almost wanted to tell them also to enjoy every minute of it coz once a kid comes…….they can kiss that good bye, hehe.

Happy shot before the naughtiness begins….you can already see it on her face how she’s planning out some epic misbehaving…

We were given a serving of warm bread which was pretty good and with what you call a shot of julienned carrots with a dollop of cream. Ooo julienned I feel so posh, lol.

Had a simple salad while we waited for the main course. The salad was pretty divine. The cheese portion was very generous.

And that’s when it started……..the naughtiness! Her father had to walk her around the restaurant in her socks while I sat there eating my salad ALONE. We were lucky they were only 3-4 occupied tables.

Mommy tried to distract her by letting her rummage through her bag.

Mom, you lied, there’s no chocolate in there! Did YOU eat it all?

After a while she got bored with the bag so mommy had to distract her with a bangle or whatever random object she could find.  At this point of time I was praying that our main course would arrive pronto.

Oh but it did not. So I did the next best thing I could do – turn the camera screen in front of us and cam-whored! Which lasted about a good 10 minutes.

Nobody messes with my mommie. Word.

Okay I lied, haha, I’m no gangsta. Just naughty.

Pouty pouty pouty…

Yes I’m a bad influence to her

I was almost certain I ordered the chicken with cream sauce but got the coq au vin instead. But no worries, chicken with red wine – I can eat this. The chicken itself was soft and moist but the sauce was a bit too over-whelming. Hats off to the wonderful mashed potato with truffles though!! It was totally out of this world. Even the naughty kid approved. I would go back for this!

Hubby’s lamb shank which he claims had alot of fats. But still okie.

We didn’t even stop to have dessert. Coz I wanted a shake from Milkshake Factory, yums

A little more naughtiness before we leave.

Misbehaving in a fine dining restaurant……….yup, that’s my girl right there! Again to all diners who were dining there on Friday – we’re SOOOO SOOO sorry

I”m so fabulously naughtyyyyy.

Hmpff, guess that means hubby has a fine reason not taking me out somewhere nice. But no worries, I’ll make sure any new restaurant will do for now.

Total bill was RM184 inclusive of a beer and apple juice.

Baby terrorizing people on a fine night out: PRICELESS.

Would we return again? Probably not. One time experience here is enough

You can check out this blog for more substantial reviews on this restaurant.

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

Cannot-take-the-X’masy-feeling-out-of-me-yet. SORRY!

But no, am not sorry for blasting this post with TONS of photos coz I went trigger happy this holiday season. *Pats back* for having the determination and discpline for whipping out the camera for every freaking photo opportunity

Told Sairah to choose between her sandals Aunty Wylane got her and the crocs and she naturally went for the sandals. Why? Coz it freaking matches her outfit that’s why. Good job baby girl.

Outfit: Bought by Daddy from Phillipines.

Headband: Bought from KLCC in one of the kiddie store

Sairah’s CRAZY hair: Model’s own, thanks to parent’s bad hair-genes. You have NO freaking idea how I am sooo thankful for rebonding. Which btw, I totally need to do soon, anyone wants to sponsor?

Went to redeem our O’ Earth Cafe voucher and to check out what’s the whole fuss about organic food.

Organic soya bean with barley and organic coffee. Am in love with their organic soya bean that I decided to buy the powder. SO yummy and easy to make!

Healthy organic chicken pasta -  flavorful to the core. I believe their usual set meal is only RM7.90 which is a major steal.

Even Sairah LOVES their spaghetti and soya bean.

APPROVED! Says the soya-moustache

Hahaha don’t know what’s with the expression.

Went to BSC for a bit to do some grocery shopping and baby enjoyed all things X’masy in that mall.

Oooo daddy what’s that??

Why it’s Christmas carollers!!

Hmm, I could roll with that.

Princess doing her princess-y walkabout

Har har I LOVE coffee breaks

Daddy squeezing chubby cheeker’s cheeks!

Swear imma gonna kill daddy in his sleep if he does that again.

Har har I’m kidding mommy, who would buy me milk then?!

Well if only the little one knows it would be mommy, with daddy’s inheritance, just saying, lol.

BIG wet kiss for Baby girl.

We finally got to collect her prize from Marvelous Baby and the calendar that we ordered.

ALL MINE!

Received a gorgeous Geboo cloth diaper with a tank top, a bear (perfect for bear-bear), a copy of the calendar and of course a pretty nice straw bag.

Typical GIRL to go for the bag

We ordered 10 copies to be exact! You know la how it is when you’re Indian and family members all want to have one copy each!

Har har, that’s ME ME ME!

Oh random, we got this Casio Keyboard for her as a Christmas gift

Later that night, got ready for a Christmas eve dinner with our family friends. Cam whore first as we wait for the vain father to put on his makeup.

SO much food, stuffed myself silly!

The same old Pumpkin Patch dress making it’s appearance for the fourth or fifth time now. Spiced it up with a kitty headband (thanks Wylane) and the giraffe necklace.

Of course after a while someone puked and had to be changed. Sigh.

Nevertheless, she had a ball opening up her X’mas present.

She’s quite a patient baby when it comes to opening gift. So much class and self-control, like her mother, lol

Let’s dance and jiggle like Santa.

My star standing among the stars

Check out the amount of cakes and cupcakes!

Cupcakes sponsored by BabySis, bought from our usual go-to-person, Eunice!

Too cute! How can someone be this talented?!

It was Deric’s birthday a week ago so thought it would be a nice idea to cut a cake nevertheless.

Typical Deric posing with the wine I got em.

What is X’mas without an array of sweet things.

Patiently waiting for a slice.

Kept giving her more ‘gifts’, little did she know those were empty boxes. But to see the look on her face was priceless nevertheless.

Oh more gifts for meeeee?

I musta been a good girl this year Santa. Well not quite baby girl, you have your moments

Who knew I’d live to see the day where I cam-whore with my 15 month old baby girl!!!!

Beady eyes looking for more gifts. If I keep up this puss-in-boots face, I might get more presents!!

Face-time to keep the baby busy

And angry bird to keep the aunt occupied. Kids!

HA HA HA I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! And to think 2 years ago, someone was conceived on this very day

By the way, if you’ve tempted to know how many photos are there on this post, there’s 59 photos to be exact.

Thank you for having the patience to scroll and check em all. What is a blog without tons of photos depicting happy chirpy moments.

Hope ya’ll had a GREAT Christmas. I know we did.

And here’s to a blessed New Year, live life positively and live it to the fullest coz no one else is gonna do for ya Now that’s the smartest thing I’ve said in this entire post.

Peace out hommies.

Next update shall be in 2012!!

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.
