FBP No. 8: Planning for the food
*blank*!
(Oh no, it’s too early to fall into this community!)
I will write about this ‘No.8’ later, a post-mortem, probably.
FBP No. 7: Goody goody 2 shoes, miss GOODY BAG!
What’s best to be inside a 1st birthday party pack??
Candy? Certainly not for 1-year-old guests!
Bubbles? Quite universal, one of my earliest idea to include in the goody bag
Stickers? Err….save that for 5th birthday party favour i guess
Stuffed animal? Are you kidding me? That will cost me at least rm20, ngalahkan wedding favour for VIPs!
Balls? The small bouncy ball at...
FBP No. 5: One year of photos
When Sarah was 2 month old, I’ve drafted 2 pages of photobook layout so that by the end of her 12th month, I can have the complete photobook ready to print (at pixart). Unfortunately, I discovered that it consumed too much of my ‘limited’ precious time! :P
Thanks to conventional photo album, with some (currently-a-hit-in-da-town) scrapbooking stuff, i managed to compile 11++...
FBP No. 3: The cake
According to the Hijr calendar Sarah turned 1 year old today …yup, she shares it with the Holy Prophet! ;) Happy Birthday, shmontel girl!
Browsing/googling for 1st birthday cake recipe, the healthy carrot cake came out as the most popular recipe and i’m on to bake it as Sarah’s birthday cupcake!!! (o’o. me baking?)
Funny thing is I never ate carrot cake before (and...

FBP No.2: Invitation
Sent! *phew*
FBP No. 1: Furnishing..
Dining table bought (finally!).
The adjustable size of this table make it superb for daily use of small family in a small apartment, and for occasional use as a buffet table. (Bingo!)
It came in black, yellow brown, (don’t remember) & birch veneer (the lightest colour variety among all 4-like the above pic). (Bingo!)
It was not so expensive yet not that cheap, and seems quite...
Playdate
I may not be able to send Sarah for playgroup classes (RM1780.00 per package! uwarghh!!!), but i hope that i could always bring Sarah for a playdate!
Benefits for Sarah?:
For her to socialize with other children, instead of only adults who take care of her everyday
For her to learn to share, toys & such (Read: I wouldn’t need to pack our house full of toys, which she would not be...

Playground:contrasting ideology
I’m always amazed that on the other part of the world, their defintion of playground can sometimes be totally opposite from ours. Once I went to Bonda HQ at Damansara Heights for their garage sale (that’s where i got my RM20 sling & RM25 maternity suppport belt from! suka suka..!) and was surprised by the mat sallehs playground at the HQ’s yard….a box of sand! ..What a...
Popeye meehoon
It was a drizzling Saturday morning yesterday, definitely a nice day to enjoy spinach meehoon at the patio: surrounded with trees and chirping birds! (“beghh” as Sarah would pronounce it! hehe)
The ingredients:
Rice vermicelli - boiled/blanched till soft
Spinach - boiled, beware not to overcook! Then blend/puree
Ikan bawal - poached with shallot,garlic&ginger to make a...
