Long Weekend
hope you had a nice May Day weekend :) spent mine meeting Cousin Stef who is here visiting from Australia. went shopping with Melissa who is also here from Abu Dhabi. it's just great having the opportunity to meet up with Groovie Girlfriends whom we only know by chit chatting and sharing our scrapbook creations and then finally we get to see each other :) Singapore is a nice destination for a meet up! hehe...

brought kids to JB for a day of eating and shopping. with our currency exchange, i guess it's worth going for a visit there once in a while ;) spent the rest of the remaining days totally relaxing and trying to have a restful sleep. haven't been having that since this persistent dry cough came :( lost my voice for a bit and when talking, words came out in broken sentences...

blogging and going online took a break too. body just shut down. hopefully will bounce back soon. my priority are my kids so they had to be fed, little ones to be showered and cleaned up, home to be homely and unfortunately for them, a sick and tired Umie can be pretty cranky so they did get a few tantrums from me. eeks! it could get ugly but i guess lucky for them, i didn't have the voice for any scolding sessions! hehe...

we all know what's going on in the world right now. so Please Take Care and have a Fabulous Month in May and Happy National Scrapbooking month! :)

Happy

Ron being a Nature Lover and a "Professional" gardener, loves seeing never before seen species of plants and orchids. the wild orchids has no name yet. and they were found deep in the jungle of CH. and they're really Beautiful and Amazing!

I Miss...

Today
we were here...

while Aneesa was busy with her Little Friends, Aysha, Anis and i went to the Nasi Padang restaurant just downstairs. i've been there several times and they have the Yummiest Nasi Padang dishes!!!

so Nasi Padang, usually serving Indonesian dishes with rice. this restaurant has been rated "Die Die Must Try" by MakanSutra. it's a local Food TV show and i totally agree! come here for some Nasi Padang if you're ever around the area :)

so this is what we had...
hot rice served on banana leaf on a plate. it brings out the frangrance of the rice. we ordered fried potatoes with fried crispy anchovies, bagedil, kai lan veggie, beef dendeng (my fave) and topped our rice with lemak gravy :D and their Teh Tarik...i'm there every week so they'll be seeing me *wink*
after we fetched Aneesa, we did some photo taking @ some old Peranakan Buildings, @ the back alley of Boat Quay and 2 Little Kids having fun :)

more scenes...
Raffles Placewalking along the rows of Pubs and Restaurants
along Clarke Quay

enjoying the moment :)

photo overload today :D it's been a tiring but really fun day for me and 3 kids. Ron and Muesa went fishing in Malaysia and will only be home later tonight. was planning to have an early night but...well there's still time! hehe...

hope you enjoyed your Saturday :) and hope you'll feel a little full after you leave here what with the food stuck in your mind! hehehe... but if you ever come to visit Singapore, these are places you shouldn't try to miss :) i'll take you there :D
