Last weekend we had 3 continuous Eid & Birthday parties~On Friday night at Dr Sohaimi's house, On Saturday at Prof Wan's house and on Sunday at Nor's house in Tokyo. Coincidally last Friday (12 Dec) was Umar's 3rd birthday, so I made a birthday cake (carrot cheese cake) and brought to our Eid party at Prof Wan's house on Saturday. About 20 people joined the party, 5 families and the others are Tsukuba University students. Most of our photos didnt turn out so good, we still need to learn more about shooting indoor. Recently I love to put film effects on my photos, I dont know why but I just love classic look photos.

This is the carrot cheese cake I made for Umar's birthday:

Ups...Can you see what's falling from Umar's mouth? Hahaha..luckily it didnt drop on the cake! Yikes!
The two babies who joined the party ;) Hidayah 5 months and Falah 7 months :)

A friend of mine, Nor, whom I knew her since 2000, invited me to her son's birthday party on last Sunday. The distance from my house to her house is about 70 km, so it should take about 1.5 hours to arrive there but since we dont have a navigator in our car, we got lost a few times and the drive took about 3.5 hours. Huh..Hubby really wants a navigator but since we are planning to buy a new car with a navigator so hubby preferred not to buy the navigator now.

Nor requested me to make chocolate cake for the party, she wanted to pay but my husband said just give the cake as a gift to her son. The cake didnt turn out nicely, the base didnt stick together so you just imagine how the cake turned out when I took it out from the cake pan..it looked like the moon's surface..hehe..I should have taken the pic..but I covered the ugliness by decorating it with icing cream, strawberries and cooking choc so this was how the cake turned out finally..I really not good at using the deco pen, I hate my writing on that cake but overall the cake was not too bad I think ;)

These are some food prepared by Nor and her friends. I think there were more than 10 kind of food but only these photos turned out not too bad. This is the birthday boy..Hafiy..he's such a cutie, isnt he? :D


Thanks to all who invited us! Really enjoyed the food!
Last but not least, these are photos of my sons..just for fun..hehe:) Will take some time to visit my neighbors' blogs now :)
 

I still feel tired of the 3 days trip. Went to Sakura Yama at Gunma where we can see Cherry blossom during winter. They place is about 4 hours drive from our home. Went there convoy with another 2 families. Actually we planned to visit this place only but last minute decided to stay  a night at a hotel and went to Safari Park on the next day which is not far from that Sakura Yama. We reached home about 9 pm Sunday. The bad news is I left my CF card at home so no great photos of the trips. I almost cried when I found that I left it. I even asked my husband to stop by at a electronic shop to buy a CF card, but I wasn't serious actually, just joking with him but to my surprise he didn't mind to buy if I really want it. But I know its just a waste because I already have a 10 GB CF card. I dont think we are going to that place again since its very far from our place. What to do, let the bygone be bygone..*sigh*. But I think even if I brought my CF card I couldnt take pics because had to take take of my kids since the place is quite dangerous. It was mountaineous and had dangerous cliffs. Just took a few pics from our handphone camera and we bought an instant camera too. Will upload the pics later.

We reached home at about 9 pm on Sunday and the next early morning we were off again to Tokyo  for Aidiladha feast at a friend's house. reached home at about 10 pm yesterday. I think I need to rest at least one day. Will visit neighbors and reply your comments tonight. I really appreciate your comments and visit here..Thanks a lot friends.. *hugs*

Took these pics a few days ago at a nearby park. Lots of hungry koi fishes there....
Don't have any idea what to write here. Lots of housework to be done.
Have a nice weekend to all my neighbors :)

Wow, it has been about a week I haven't updated this blog..sorry friends, I really had a hectic days since last two weeks.

On 11th, 12th Oct my husband's University held the Gakuensai, the Annual University Festival. It is usually held on

October. On that day the clubs or classes representatives can sell whatever they want to sell, so we as the representative from Malaysia decided to open a stall and sell Nasi Lemak. At first I did not agree to sell Nasi Lemak because I afraid the Japanese cannot eat since it has hot sauce. But at last we decided to proceed with the plan. Me and Kak Rini were given the task to cook the main rice and hot sauce. The Nasi Lemak was unexpectedly had very good demand. We sold about 150 packed in two days and profitted about  40,000 Yen /USD 400/RM 1200. Wow! I am not sure what the students are going to do with the profit. Travel somewhere, maybe? I hope so..

We send Umar to a Kinder (it's like a child care, not the real kinder)  nearby our house about twice or three time a

week. Each time we only send him for about 3 hours because the fee is quite expensive for us. We pay for about 400 yen per hour. Here special price will be given if one of the parents is studying and the other must be employed. But since I am not employed we cannot get the discounted price. In Japan they encourage the small kids to be grown up at home by their parents. I agree, but we just send Umar for a few hours a week to get him prepared to the real kinder,  expose him to Japanese Language and to let him play and mix with other kids.

I am not really sure but I think the kinder is managed by a couple of husband and wife in late 60 and the principal is the wife's mother, whom I think already about 80 years old, but she is still in good health.
 

Last Saturday the Kinder held a Sports Day. We woke up early at about 7 am. I prepared some food- rice ball and fried

noodle. Since Umar only goes the kinder a few hours a week he was quite blurred. He participated in 2 events, short distance race and roll a ball with daddy. The funny thing was during the race when everybody was running he just walked normally..blurred as if nothing happened around him..hehehe..

Although did not win any events Umar also received the "Yoku Gambarimashita" medal..It means "well done or you have strived hard" something like that. It was a new experience for Umar and we enjoyed the day very much :))
