ANY MALAY MUMS HERE?

[Ibu Love]

Morning kengkawan

Nor, I had nasi with Ayam masak kicap.

 

[noni1]

i had mee goreng and bubor kacang
now tengah layan perot rase pedas... hahahha

 

[noni1]

what color u all wearing this yr?

we decided on black
it sure cuts down the time spent to find matching baju for the boys

 

[athlete]

SIgh...
I don't understand why people keep addressing me by my "surname".
I feel like telling them that my father doesn't work here...

Re:colour
My baju this year is fuschia.
But my HB refuses to wear pink.
So he'll recycle last year's silver.
And I just bought a black suit for my boy.

 

[noni1]

yep my hb oso dun wanna wear pink
nevahhh...

surname thing - very common la
i dun know why they dun get it
and i still get letters with my fathers' name in front

RE: Baju Raya Color Theme
semlm sempat gi JB.. dah dapat the boys punya baju kurung.

at first ingat nak color orange this yr cos my baju base is orange tapi wit corak kuning gold.
but i cant find nice orange for boys.. at last beli kuning gold..

dah masuk 6hari tak leh puasa, hopefully i can start tomoro.. takut lama sgt cuti, nanti nak bayar balik punya lah liat!!

going out soon for lunch.. ingat nari nak cuci mata kat vivo.. hehehe</font></font>

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> Nora, athlete

personally, i also dun really like pink.. but once a while, it nice to have something diff kan..
and some pink really cute and sweet too.</font></font>

 

[athlete]

lynn,
sama lah with me, today day 5.
i think besok i will resume also.

 

[athlete]

reink
not only does my HB not want to wear pink, but he doesn't even want my boy to wear pink...
got issues, i say...

 

[noni1]

athlete

same lah...
once i got him a shirt.. it was more on the purplish side
oso dun want to wear

actually u wear fuschia
ur hb wear silver mathcing tau
use a scarf of somthing to match it
or kain samping for the boys to match ur fuschia

 

[athlete]

Nora,
That's a good suggestion!
I will go and find a matching samping for my boy.
Cos another thing, my HB never wears samping also.
Tak suka dia cakap.
Whatever lah.

 

[smalldreams]

Alo!


Athlete
Aiseh, you punya co tu ada banyak aussie eh? hahaha... anyway so formal if they call you by yr surname. Weird. At my workplace, semua panggil short form nama je.


2 yrs ago we wore pink &amp; hb swore not to ever wear pink EVER again. Hmmm... maybe maroon if we ever get a 2nd set. I have a pink baju from wedding hantaran 5 yrs ago. Belum pernah pakai and sampai sekarang masih loose. Think MIL standby tu baju for me 7 yrs after the wedding - maybe can fit by then.

Lynn
Congrats for buying the baju! which shopping centre did you go to? My SIL pun pergi on saturday. Jeles seh I dengar dia kata, dia beli baju kurong for her 8-YO son, only RM$40! We paid slightly over $30 for Adam's baju. Haiz!!

So tempted to go JB one of these days to buy another set for the boys.

Nora
Black is easy. Tapi for me budak kecik pakai black, macam tak exciting sangat..hehehe I prefer colours. Lainlah baby... sure dia suka tengok kaler black

 

[athlete]

Hi SD!!!
No, mostly local here.
I really don't understand.

My mom is going JB this Friday.
I'm tempted to follow.

 

[smalldreams]

athlete
you should follow. But better not bring yr son if can. Senang sikit nak carik barang.

 

[noni1]

allo allo peah

yep black is easy tapi memang tak meriah

the thing is tailor my baju for this yr
but i sayang nak pakai those baju for first day
since i only go to in laws and my grandma's place on that day

so i was thinking of recycling one my baju from last yr
was asking the hb if he minds wearing black
he says ok
so GOOOOOOO....

a bought another light blue baju kurung for izzat
just for fun..

 

[smalldreams]

Nora
hahahaha... wow, I see you've put in a lot of thoughts in the planning of outfits...hehehee..

I was the one who got feddap &amp; told HB, amik black sudah! Then he said, Budak2 mana boleh pakai black?! Then later, dia yang suggest black bila dah givap susah nak carik kaler. hahaha...

Hey, light blue is a nice kaler

 

[Lynn02]

[ibu_hakim]

Thanks Athlete, Nor and evryone.

[noni1]

athlete

lynn

angsana any particular shop or kiosk?


peah
not lah say put a lot of thot
for for the past years memang i choose to wear simple baju for first day

 

[nor]

all this talk abt shopping in JB really make me want to make my maiden trip there sey... i never shopped there for Raya before..
hmmm in fact dah lama tak masok JB.. come to think of it my last trip out of Sg was 2 years ago to Deutschland.. buat paspot tak berbaloi sey macam ni!

athlete,
sorry tak beli newspaper last 2 days.. so don have.

 

[noni1]

nor

i used to be an ardent fan of raye shopping in jb
but with my boy now.. tak kuasa ah

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> nora
yap yap.. memang worth it.. actually i'm rtn customer, last yr pun i beli from same kiosk.. memang purposely cari dat shop again.. cos situ paling senang nak cari matching baju bapak and anak.. and better quality kain plus reasonable price.. hehehe

errr.. name kedai is waseem something like dat..
it at level 2 kiosk dia closer to kedai jual women accessories like brooch, anting2, gelang, keronsang etc etc..

pssttt i get my keronsang from here too.. hehe</font></font>

 

[athlete]

nor,
wah, what was deutschland like?
my sis did some summer exchange program there a few years back.
and i've also only been in transit at frankfurt airport during my travelling for work years ago.
good times, then...

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> Nora
klu gi jb for raya shopping, i wont be my boy along lah.. sure tak leh shop pasal nak layankan or tgkkan dia je nanti..

tapi prob nya.. takut beli terbesar or terkecik.. dah nak kena rtn balik for exchge.. tu yg leceh sikit!</font></font>

 

[athlete]

lynn,
i remember seeing yr kerongsang from FB last time!
sigh... i do miss FB...

re:child's size
for me, kalau tak bawak budak, i'll bring one of his t-shirts along to match the size.

 

[nor]

Lynn,
this time masih ada byk choice of baju and size to choose from tak? sometimes baju yg kita nak dah tinggal size belen2.. tu yg boring..

athlete,
i went there during summer 2008, very nice place &amp; weather, tak sejuk sgt 16ºC in the day and it dropped to 10-12ºC at night. makanan pon takde masalah cos i was given a hotel near where all the Turkish ppl stay so a lot of Halal food.
i did not go to Frankfurt airport, how was it? i heard its very busy but beautiful airport.
i transit in Paris and took connecting flight to Dusseldorf airport instead.

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> athlete
kat FB tu is dokoh.. i brough from KL.. i sengaja post nak kasi some of the mummies kat sini jeles.. hahahaha

ni keronsang, i just brought semlm kat JB nak pakai dgn kebaya.. classic gitu kan... feeling2 sey.. LOL

yap yap.. i pun bawak baju contoh.. to avoid from buying wrong size.. </font></font>

 

[athlete]

lynn,
dokoh tu apa?
but yes, i also like to wear keronsang with kebaya...

nor,
heh, don't remember anything unique abt the frankfurt airport.
except for the big giant toblerone that you can get at most euraopen airports!

 

[nor]

athlete,
hahaha! yeah too much chocs available at the airports.. so cheap pulak tu!

Dokoh
rantai ala zaman diraja yg dipakai pengantin

 

[athlete]

*yaaawwn*

1 hr 40 mins to go

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> Thks Nor for ans on my behalf... hehhee

athlete
like nor were saying in the past, it worn by raja2 and it complements in songket den in later days, songket and dokoh become as part of bridal costumes.

but i guess dokoh is making a comeback, cos i tink ramai org skg sukakan songket.
if u still have FB.. maybe u can view at Nazlin pic.. dia ada pakai baju kurung wit dokoh.. nice nicey</font></font>

 

[athlete]

Hah, I googled images for "dokoh".
Yes, very classy and vintage-looking, esp with songket

Btw, Paris mummies, I just saw that the HK Cafe at Downtown East Ehub (in front of Fairprice) is Halal-certified.
Yumsters!

 

[Ibu Love]

Athlete

20 mins to go for me...yippee!

 

[athlete]

Hi Notty,
Which food centre? The one on the ground floor?
That one I'm not too sure.
Went to Fairprice there yesterday to do quick grocery shopping.

Is it raining in the East side?
Here is v dark outside.

 

[nor]

Lynn, no prob, sharing is caring

[nor]

[noni1]

kalau tak silap la..kalau silap jgn marah eh...

 

[nor]

nora, yeah me counting down.. tak sabar nak balik tengok anak2.. maklum dah 2 hari tak jumpa pasal sibuk with exams.. bila balik, semua orang dah berdengkur :s

oh ada jual di TKC yer... hmmm.. tu lah tempat yg paling i avoid masa bulan puasa ni.. but nak glam punyer pasal maybe i pegi this wkn to chk out the dokoh... anyone knows of those who sells it online?

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> Morning Morning..

anybody homeeee....??? hehehe</font></font>

 

[athlete]

morning lynn!
how, today dah start?
me belum.

 

[athlete]

btw, did anyone here wacth the hostage situation in manilla last night?
was such a tragic end.
from what we saw on tv, the police really looked inexperienced and unprofessional.
they all obviously haven't been watching all
those SWAT-type movies to see what should've been done...

Don't mean to make light of the event, but the Phil police's action was like a joke!

 

[Lynn02]

<font color="0000ff"><font face="Trebuchet MS"> Morning Athlete
yeahhh, resume my fasting today... insya-allah tahun cuti 6hari je..

last yr, i cuti 3minggu tau.. bayangkan bila i kena bayar balik.. puasa sorang2.. ishhhh

ohhh btw i did watch dat news..
yap, i find the way the police storm the bus and handle the whole situation is very bad..
it seem their police is not well trained or prepared..
tink 8 people were killed. </font></font>

 

[smalldreams]

Morning babes

Tadi pagi i masok opis, rasa boring sekali. Hubby tertido &amp; my gal crawled off the bed! Argh! I know he felt lousy abt it which was why I stopped myself from nagging (too much).

Athlete
I read about it. It was so tragic. Innocent people died. And the tour guide sembunyik kat belakang bus. Crazy.

 

[athlete]

Morning SD,
Oh dear, is Aifah ok?
Don't worry abt it too much, as far as I know, it's quite common for babies to fall off beds.
