FABULOUS FRIDAY!

Top of the world to all!

What a wonderful week this week has been. The weather is awesome (Rainy cold days is my kind of beautiful day), Kaisan has been sleeping well (Or the fact that my husband take the night duty to let me sleep more), surprisingly a lot of participants for my FIRST CONTEST GIVEAWAY and best of all, I managed to cook this week!

Three nights ago I made pasta with eggplants and tomatoes and it was superb! The photo does not do justice. If I want to produce good food photos I must start getting props and invest in good lightings. Man!!!

Then the next night, I made pizza. It was my first pizza in a long, long time. I made the dough thin crust without yeast because I do not how to use yeast [Insert pathetic hyena's laughter] and had to use ketchups in a packet from Mc Donald because I forgot we ran out of tomato paste [Insert sad hyena's cries] but it turned out tastier than ever! The husband inhaled his pizza in mere seconds and was eyeing my plate like a hungry wolverine. Oi!

I have some menus set in my mind to cook this weekend but alas, there are weddings and events to attend so more likely I will be stuffing my face with other people's cooking instead.

Have a fabulous Friday, y'all!

FAB FRIDAY!

Kaisan mumbled, "Have a relaxing, sleepy & McDreamy Friday, folks"

FAB FRIDAY!

The kittens are just earning their living. I'm paying them with kitty treats.

NO, IT'S NOT ANIMAL LABOUR.

My Weekend Men -FAB FRIDAY

The hubster bought me these 3 super delicious men to help me with my addiction with The Avengers movie [I WANT TO WATCH THE AVENGERS A GAZILLION TRILLION TIME UNTIL MY EYEBALLS BLEED!!!]. So ladies, this long weekend, I'm snuggling with these hunky hubba hubba!

Yes, including Patrick the dog!

FIST BUMP FRIDAY!

H: How… Whaa… Tell me you DID NOT carry THAT all by yourself?

W: Of course not. I asked the shop’s porter to help me carry it into the car.

H: And how did you take it OUT of the car?

W: I pushed and I pulled and I dragged and I left it at the garage for you to carry in.

H: This thing is HEAVY! HOW DID YOU PUSH AND PULL AND SHITNOT?

W: I attribute it to my crazy hormones that can’t stand to see all my books scattering on the reading room floor.

H: Please. Never. Do. This. By. Yourself. Again.

W: What’s the big deal?

H: YOU’RE PREGNANT FOR GODS SAKE!

W: Point taken.

The bookshelf was in a box; unassembled and packed tight like IKEA’s packaging and it was so heavy, I must be BONKERS to think I can bring it out of the car by myself. But by sheer INSANITY, I managed to “pull” the box out of the car by myself but couldn’t go further than that. I couldn’t even push an inch of it further and so the box was standing just next to my car, waiting for the Mister to come home and solve the matter for me. Apparently, being pregnant does not give me super human strength.

That evening, Mister had a field good time assembling the bookshelf together and once done, I had my share of happiness by arranging all my books in the new shelf. The other bookshelf was already overflowing and vomiting books and whatnots so clearing it up was euphoria of its own. Other female enjoy gardening and shopping. I enjoy arranging my books on bookshelves and brew love potions while dancing naked under a full moon. Same thing. Po-tay-toh. Po-tah-toh.

The reading room now is neat and tidy and looks more like a reading room with two mammoth size bookshelves.

Now that is my definition of a fabulous Friday.

What about you?

FAB FRIDAY!

Let’s go somewhere quiet and color it monochrome so the world seems less complicated ~Me

Ok. I’m typing this at 7am on a Friday morning and the first thought in my head was, “Woman, you need to get your shit together!”

You see, this whole week I’ve been on leave to supposedly rest so that next week/year, I’ll be able to function professionally at work without turning into a garden slug that bark due to no rest and such. But all I did this whole week was running errands, chores, chores and chores and shit, that reminds me, I haven’t done another batch of laundry for the baby’s blankets and towels… also I haven’t done his hospital bag. Also I’m way, way due with few blog posts [hint: a reader came to visit me all the way from KL] Suffice to say, I didn’t get much needed rest.

Then I looked at the calendar and realized, HOLY HAIRY MONKEY NUTS it’s already FRIDAY! SERIOUS SHIT WHERE DID THE TIME GO?

So yes, I really need to get my shit together and maybe, MAYBE… get some well-deserved rest that I’ve been drooling over.

It’s Friday and weekend is just around the corner. Time to get those wary feet up and smile; leave the old behind and embrace the new coz 2012 is near!

Have a Fabulous Friday, peeps!

FAB FRIDAY!

I am so looking forward for this long weekend. Not only it’s my favorite season E-VER; cold weather, great movies playing on TV, sipping hot tea, munching on cakes and plenty of reasons to snugglywuggly, Christmas is also the Mister’s birthday!

If that is not fabulous, then I don’t know what is.

So aside from celebrating the Mister’s birthday, I intend to enjoy this holiday by doing what I’ve been missing so much lately- READING!

Awesomepossumuch!

Merry Christmas to those celebrating this Sunday and have a safe holiday!

FAB FRIDAY

We have a gigantic ass backyard and the only thing planted is a huge mango tree, which the previous owner of the house left us. It’s flattering, really. Generous of them. But ever since we moved in, the tree bore no fruits. None one. Nada. Nil. Zilch.

I told the Mister to chop it off since the tree is nesting 300,000 types of insects and ants and me and them, we are nemesis since the beginning of time. But my darling husband never get around doing it coz whenever he hear me say “Chop the tree”, in his mind it translated into, “LEAVE THE TREE ALONE. IT IS A SACRED TREE! GO GREEN, PEOPLE! GO GREEEEEEEN!” I think Mother Nature is possessing my husband’s brain.

So throughout the whole year, we called the tree the HOMOSEXUAL TREE because it never grew a single fruit.

Visitor: That is a huge tree you have there! You guys are so lucky! Free fruits all year long!

Us: Pfft! That is a Gay Tree. It bears no fruits.

Visitor: Gay?

Us: Either its gay or the poor thing is infertile. Or maybe the previous owner gave it a vasectomy just to spite us.

Visitor: *silent*

Us: What?

But, miracles do happen! Tada!

Weird, huh? Maybe because it got tired of being humiliated by us so it decided to sprout some fruits and guess what? It’s not stingy with its blessing! There’s plenty to go around for friends and family!

What a fabulous Friday!

FAB FRIDAY

Hot and Spicy weekend up ahead!

I don’t fancy fermented chili as it kills the original taste and murder the spiciness. And since fresh chili’s life span is as short as my breath running a marathon, I freeze it to keep it from turning bad.

Yes, FROZEN CHILI.

As and when I want to use it, I’ll just take it out from the freezer, leave it for 2-3 minutes and chop, chop, chop. The taste is the same as fresh chili, so no biggie there. Booyah!

How do you keep your veggie fresh? Do share!
