Syawal comes to an end today. So no more open houses and no more delicious food. The final open house was last Sunday at my next door neighbour. However we are still left with lots of kuih raya mostly my sisters' handmade kuihs. Oh, we still have bottles of Twisters unconsumed because they are too sweet! (you don't want to end up diabetic, do you?).
I am planning to start gym soon again, hopefully. I was looking at the window this morning and I could not see anyone at the gym. Weird! I thought Madam (the usual gym buddy) must be running and sweating like hell at this hour. Then again she probably ran earlier in the morning so no one was there.
I called Mother last week and as usual the conversation always left me breathless! I told Mother that my friends adopted a baby boy from parents who did not want the baby because he was born out of marriage. "He wants him? That kind of baby?" Adoi la Mother......it was his choice. So let them be! When I mentioned about my friend's stepmom then Mother said "did he know of his other siblings? He should you know. He should know his other siblings from the same dad" Double adoi la Mother.......Mother is a busy body person and I extremely hate that. Mother thinks her son is the best in the world.
Mother talks about Father's good deeds only when he died. To me it was too late. I hate it. When she started to tell stories about Father I will slowly walk out of the room. I don't want to listen to crap stories. CRAP!
Oh and last Saturday we went to this event : French Cafe by Chef Benoit at French Sole KLCC. I was very lucky hubby bought me a pair of silver glitter flats because it was sold at 10% off. We had a slice of strawberry cake (nothing extraordinary, just like Secret Recipe's hahaha) and flat white cup of coffee. Afterwards we went to 1 Utama to pick up hubby's new suit by Ian Chang.

iPad2
Now that I am using the new ipad2 my farm hasn't been managed for a very long time. Unfortunately ipad2 does not have "flash" supported application. More over the new wireless 4G is too sophisticated that my long time Lenovo could not get connected to the internet.
How I miss my farm and the tasks associated with it. I haven't had my aviary, my zoo and my previous tasks have yet to be completed. I have asked one of my neighbours on how to play FV on ipad but she too had faced with the same difficulty. She only played FV on the ipad for urgent tasks such as harvesting and accepting request from neighbours.
It is also difficult to print from the ipad since it has no "holes" to plug in the printer. It uses air print and so the ipad could not detect my Canon Pixma printer. Whenever I finished my CPD tests I had to "copy paste" and sent them to hubby via emails for prints. And for me to post a new entry on this blog, no photos can be uploaded (I've tried "copy paste" but it didn't work).
That does not mean that I am not loving the new ipad2. I got to play various interesting games downloaded free from the store. I know now that they caused me headaches! Hubby told me that I was concentrating too much on the games.

Raya Open Houses
Awesome! We had 3 days of holidays when Malaysia was celebrating Hari Malaysia on Friday the 16th of September. The extended weekends were filled with hubby's friends' open houses (lost contact with my friends) at the other side of KL.
After the Friday prayer, we went to Nusaputra in Puchong and had nasi ayam and sate. It was hubby's schoolmate's house which wasn't that difficult to find should we had exited Putrajaya toll instead. Then we headed to Saujana Utama in Sungai Buloh via the kampung road to hubby's ex colleague's. We had nasi lemak and bihun goreng plus agar-agar and banana cake. The final journey of the day was to Bukit Jelutong near Shah Alam at late evening and we had mee bandung Muar, slices of mangoes finished with raya cookies and tea.
On Saturday we headed to Seri Pristana in Sungai Buloh (again) but the journey wasn't smooth because the map wasn't in GPS! We should have drove towards Saujana Utama in the first place because from there we can see the signboard to Seri Pristana! The place was crap but we managed to find the house and had nasi minyak with mutton curry, cheese tart and carrot cake. To make up for yesterday's 'fail to show up' at another ex colleague's, we continued to Bukit Jelutong (again) just to say hi. On the way back home we tried the new Latar, exited at Selayang but the traffic was horrible! Lucky the GPS helped us to get back on track via the kampung road (again!). The night was supposed to end with PV raya feast but the organiser failed to be on time (as usual!) so we had our dinner at a restaurant instead.
We didn't travel far on Sunday because the open house was in Keramat. Although it rained cats and dogs we got there in time for bihun sup, bihun goreng and most of all I got to eat lemang! The popia basah and biskut batik were really awesome! There was another open house in Nilai but enough is enough. Nilai was too far and no doubt the traffic was horrible at that point of time. If we had decided to go we might not arrive home before 8 pm and hubby got to go to work tomorrow.

Raya 1432 H & 8th Anniversary
This time we celebrated the 1st of Syawal at our very own house. We cooked nasi impit, kuah lodeh, rendang daging and kuah kacang. After sembahyang sunat hari raya at the surau we headed to my kampong to visit the families.
On the second day of raya we headed down south to hubby's family's house to see the small cucus and ate even more!
The third day of Syawal marks our 8th anniversary. For celebration, we went to Singapore especially to visit Singapore Zoo. We stayed in Traders Hotel for 2 nights. We bought the famous Garrett popcorn, the back cover for recently purchased iPad2 and 2 bottles of Penhaligon's perfumes. We found Muji and bought a dress which will be worn together with a pair of jeans.
Hubby wasn't well so we had to skip the Night Safari. I think the newater was contaminated or probably hubby has an intolerable body (what's with the vocab??). As a result I had nothing for dinner (munching on Garrett popcorn only), bought one stupid bun and cure for diarrhea.
