Last three weeks:

We went to Batu Layar, Johor on Sunday.

We did BBQ and went swimming for hours!

We went to beach spontaneously, so there's a lot of thing we didn't pack!

Like knife, towel, fire starter for BBQ, utensils, toys for Cik Keyaan, plates, cooking oil and such.

But we did have a blast!

Here's some of the pics we took the other day:

Arrived at destination and took pics of us! Cik Khyru is trying to work out the BBQ.

Us after all the swimming

I gave Cik Keyaan his first cucumber to eat and then he played with it..

The wrinkle toes.

Cik Keyaan with Daddy

His cute giraffe swimmer. 

Sandwiches. Yums...

The other food that we bbq.

Last two weeks

Cik Keyaan got his bunny, Tiramitu from my sis, Khadijah.
He love it, now always hugging him when he's sleeping.

I craveee for Nasi with Durian.
My late Dad loved nasi, santan, gula and durian so much.
Once he's gone, no one else make it anymore.
But I did.
And it was amazing after nearly two years without it.
I'm going to do it again.

Last week

So yeah, that's all the update for a month.

Have a great Ramadhan everyone!
Blessed you!

Our update from April!

Helloooo everyone.

Phew it's been a while that I blogged!

A month or so maybe?

So what's new, you asked?

I'm still working with my company, have a few more responsibility, mostly second backup, or backup until whoever supposed to come, come. I've done a few hantaran gigs, and loving this new interest!

Mr hubby have a new job, so he will be away from us for a while. T.T

Cik Keyaan is 6 month old, loves giving me smiley and pats, and loved getting kisses!

My house is still in whatever house processing it is.

Other than that, we are pretty the samee~

We're pretty much having fun!

The waiting game for the house is so tiring, and I found a new nanny for Cik Keyaan, as I'm going to relocate to S's house for a while since hubby will be away a lot. :(

But hey I've got my bff back!

Here's life in picture!

Cik Keyaan is 6 months and 2 days old today :)

He's learning to eat, more playing, and learning to scream if he don't like it. =.=

We went to BBW twice and spent more than RM500 for these gems! <3 it="" p="">

Lots of cook book! 

Planning on more cooking ahead!
