 some of our orders that nite his: roast chicken with bpepper gravy mine: rolled beef lasagna appetizer: baked french onion soup!
 dunno the name of faiz's burger - sedappp! oh, ana's pasta primavera is nice too, maybe next time (if there'll ever be one)
 much awaited dessert good choice i'd say, because everyone asked for 2nd serving strawberry marshmallow cheese cake - definitely a hit!
 oh, party gear was courtesy of kai the mask and the hat was kinda embarrassing but we went with it anw (note: next time party gear for bday girl/boy je ok!!!)

it has been a while since i had d time to post anything in here despite numerous events which took place in the last 2 weeks. so in order to fast forward these events, i'll post some pix with some details to summarize it all nicely. first up is d surprise my colleagues and bf pulled on me.
 part of my prop for d day this is super cute!  my half eaten bday cake i think it's black forest, so yummy 5 of us ate half of it!
 kak nadiah nyanyi mcm org "sihat" tis is our(myself n nadiah) first time @ redbox fyi  3 of us cuti, abg ezmil cuti "sakit"
to begin with, it was friday the 4th and we got the day off since it was pre-agung's bday. despite being unwell for almost a week, i was still "under the weather" but since my friends insist on going to redbox badly and i've promised them i'd join, i went along with their plans despite the bad cough and flu and my bf agreed to tag along.
there was a lil bit of drama otw because my bf was "late" and the traffic was a lil heavy and i was in a pretty bad mood considering the fact that i was unwell but we finally got at redbox pavilion at around 11.20 with a long face! hahaha...my mood is easily affected by my surroundings if you're wondering. "teruknya muka u" hanan said when he first saw me. once my bf and i got our tags, hanan led us to the room where nadiah and husband are waiting...
...and i was greeted with a cake with lit candles of 26! i really didnt expect this, and on top of dat my bf's delay was planned as well! they even got me stuffs to wear during the whole time but i didnt have much trouble since they're so cute. although i didnt enjoy the karaoke much, i enjoyed the whole 4hours with these people. tq guys....! definitely one memorable birthday celebration.

ini adalah kawan saya faizah azra, model periuk nasik
here are some fun facts about faiz, besides being a part time rice cooker model (u, jgn marah ye!) she happens to share her birthday with Asrul (happy bday to asrul too!) who is her bf/fiancé. among other things you should know about her is, if she happens to collapse, her heart is on the right side of her body - if pump blah kiri mmg dia xkan bangun lah ok! and if u wonder why, it's prolly because she have an unidentical twin brother so he must've pushed her heart to the other side while they were in the womb. here's some picture of her bday evolution:
 faiz @ 25 years old black canyon coffee at jusco au2, keramat  faiz @ 24 years old william's, kelana jaya wishing my bestie a great 26th celebration and many many happy returns!

birthday bunny in pink! gotcha...
yesterday thursday the 21st was Nas' 26th birthday but since tis will be her last birthday as a bachelor, we tot we'd do sumtin a lil different but then due to unforeseen and unavoidable circumstances, celebration date has to be changed, as well as the agenda too. nevertheless, it was really enjoyable although d quorum was not complete last nite.
as for the venue, ana suggested a nice cosy restaurant down in PJ which neither of us has visited, or even heard of. so last week was spent googling and researching d food and location. oh, nas wasnt aware of d plan. after reading d reviews online, it seemed like a worthy place for a celebration.
come thursday the 21st, right after work we all headed down to PJ with no idea whatsoever where d place is actually at because PJ is no playground, at least for me. earlier dat day i called d restaurant up and made reservation for 7 at 8pm since kai wont be able to tag along due to his work needs. my bf and i were d first to arrive (which is so surprising) followed by ana & adie, then nas, and last by not least, asrul & faiz & wani (faiz's cousin). at 830 i received a call from d restaurant asking if we are coming and i was just outside d restaurant trying my best to provide some direction to dear frens before they actually arrived.
at d entrance we were greeted with some hanging plant and as we entered d compound, we saw d signature glass door with white frames and kokopelli printed on it, just like in the pictures i've been seeing online. even before setting foot inside d dining area, i could tell dat it is a warm, cosy place. since reservation was made earlier, our table was set right in front of d entrance, with nice table runner in pink and small flower vases with some rose plant but as i was about to sit, i saw a room with a long dining table and asked d pleasant waitress if we could be seated in d room instead, and she allowed us to. yaaay to privacy, yaaay to more freedom to be more noisy!
as i was admiring d setting and decor, i also went through d menu but it took all of us at least 30mins before we cud actually decide on what to order. of course not all d review i read was right but one thing for sure, d baked french onion soup was really nice! among other dishes we ordered included roast chicken, beef lasagna, beef sumtin i-dont-know-its-name and char kuey teow and drinks included "fly me to the moon" to "leaving on a jet plane". over 5, i'd rate d food 3.8 but i'd give d ambience 4.5 star.
 my beef lasagna - a very generous portion
my bf's beef sumtin i-dont-know-its-name
d scrumptious baked french onion soup - superb! should've ordered one each..haha..mmg tamak ok!!

 which one is nana?
today is nana's (farhana, my ex-housemate in shah alam) 25th birthday. *happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to nana, happy birthday to you!*. to nana, wishing you a beginning of wonderful years ahead, dont worry bout 'quarter life crisis' coz we're still young (nk sedapkan hati sendiri juga), and der are still lots to explore, Insyaallah....and many happy returns!
now nk kena rewind sket. over d weekend, it was another shopping spree for me, although i didnt actually get anything for myself, it was actually for father's day. jus a lil intro, my father plays badminton twice a week to keep fit, not d tournament kinda thing. so ive been planning since last month about what to buy him for father's day but one day he went out and found himself a nice pair of yonex shoes, maka rosak lah my plan. then i recapped his conversation with us about a nice bag his fren jus bought and so i found my plan B (badminton shoes was plan A). royal sporting house or its kind normally dont sell badminton stuff so i had to find a specialized shop downtown, luckily for me, it was quite easy.
 d same bag lee chong wei (#1 male badminton player ranking in d world) uses for training
besides d bag, we also got him a matching yonex tshirt, wrist guard and ergo-socks (sume pun dh ergonomic skrg, but workstation kt office ni stil x ergonomic ~ hissh). father's day celebration was kept simple, so for lunch we had yellow cab pizza which was huge (imagine an 18" tire rim!). now, rewinding further. last week on thurs i had another shopping spree, again not for myself. an office colleague just got a baby girl about a week ago or so, and since this is his 4th kid, we didnt bother asking wat he'd want becoz we assumed he already has all d necessities like cot, pram, walker, etc, etc. and so with d limited budget we had in hand and unlimited cute baby stuffs in d mall which made us (nadiah n i) crazy, we managed to fully utilize (exceed sket je budget tuhh) d money since d sale was still on. 
my fave ~ isnt tis adorable? (bolster and pillow set)  d 3 boxes are hallmark range of bottles and food container, all are in pink, the one rolled and tied with a ribbon is a pair of pjs, and on top of d box is a baby's bonnet, and d one behind d boxes is d thermal bag for daddy to put d milk bottle and such
d pink thing tied to d pillow set is an "i love my big brother" bib, in front d rolled and tied with ribbons are 'monkey suit' and a dress respectively, and in d blue box is a batt operated fan for prams and far right are 2 pair of knitted socks for d baby hamper, all stuffs were bought from isetan and parkson klcc. it was indeed challenging searching high and low for these stuffs becoz like ive mentioned earlier, our budget is very limited but dat doesnt mean we cant get nice things with it right? im no expert wen it comes to baby stuffs but it was no doubt fun. of course right after we were done choosing baby stuff, i had my round of retail theraphy which was of course 'funner'! after a long day at work, everybody could use a round of shopping rite?

last nite while i was watching tv, nas buzzed me re meeting up over lunch at ampang park, since she's still on leave as over d weekend she was with kai's family for his brother's wedding in terengganu, i agreed to her plan. so this morning she sent me a gentle reminder, kot kot i forgot bout our lil date. nas agreed to pick me up at d office and we'd go to ampang park together to have lunch at cozy's.
nas & kai today, finding a parking lot at d mall wasn't as hell as usual especially at lunch so after nas parked her car, we headed straight to cosy's and as d waitress lead us to a table and put down d menu, i was about to sit down when nas said "you jom duk kat belakang sana tu" so i guessed since we're gonna chat over lunch perhaps we could use a table in d corner. but, der was a surprise waiting for me! my boyfie was waiting at a table at d back of d restaurant!!! seriously, d surprise worked. i didnt sense anything, seriously as it is a working day, and i tot my bf is at work like everyone else. not only dat, der was a surprise bday cake as well! i sure love you guys for doing all these for me (xoxox!).
 me, my bf and my cake officially, this is d 3rd time im celebrating my bday this year. yes i know im too old to be celebrating like a small kid, but having these people around to celebrate occasions like tis together sure means so much to me.  nas' gift to me ~ i love it! i told you you're creative enuff to kno wat i'd like all in all, although lunch lasted for only about an hour, getting to sit down together and catch up like tis at d same time have a lil celebration especially for me was really nice of all of u! nas n kai, i understand you're probably still tired from last nite's journey, thank you so much for insisting on coming to see me. and dear bf, thank you so much for going along with them in making the surprise work, not forgetting d yummy choc cake you got!

since my bday tis year fell on a sunday, my bf and i decided to haf a birthday weekend. as planned, instead of him buying me a surprise gift, i get to choose my own gift within a specified budget. although initially d location was supposed to be a suprise location, dat didnt actually happen but suprisingly, we went to pavillion although it was never our preferred mall.
ok, i'll let d pix tell d story. the chronology starts saturday d 30th...  all the slushes on d menu i particularly like this deco we shared a meal but still didnt manage to finish it - shame on you ella! me: betul ke u nk i amik more bags?bf: yelar, satu tu sket sgt la...
 me: wat r u looking for?bf: give me a sec, takin out ur gift now... me: im so surprised!!! me: smile dear, i know u're broke...but tis is for keep sake!bf: ngeeee.... (forced smile)so basically what happened was, when we arrived i scouted for gift for myself as i didnt plan to buy anything in particular but when me and siblings got a lil hungry, we grabbed lunch at tgif. right after, we proceed with gift hunting until suddenly i found something i love. ended up my bf got me two gifts! tq dear for the prezzies, love em! before leaving pavillion, we hung out at dome for coffee n such and later headed to cap sq for monsters vs alien which was hilarious. saturday was definitely a great pre-bday celebration.
and on sunday d 31st itself, which was my birthday, my bf took me out for lunch some place near our place before he headed back home for a fren's kenduri/makan2. back at home, my dad and bro got me a gift (basically from the whole family) and thanks to my sis for tipping them, i got something i've been wanting for a long time.
 d packing is so small, what could it be? definitely a fave! love it...thx and i love u all :)
instead of a bday cake, we had ice cream dat eve which was sinfully delicious (ice cream dh masuk perut..hehe)
 so for dinner, since it was a family affair, i decided to take them to 'liki-liki' - korean/thai steamboat restaurant
 d price is reasonable altho d variety isnt as much as other steamboat restaurants ive been to, d soup is so tasty and d sauce completes everything else. kawan2, lets!
all in all i had a blast on my birthday, which didnt take much but my love ones. but dats not all, more updates on post bday celebration coming up soon. p/s: thanks to those who remembered my birthday and for all d wishes, im blessed with so many thoughtful people around me.
