A Hectic Weekend That Was

Letsee if I can recall what we had over the weekend.

Saturday is always a busy day cos Aliya & Asha have their mental arithmetic classes and now Adani too has her English class with her fav Teacher Claire.  So, once the girls were off, we took off to the wet market for the week’s supply of haiwans & dauns.

MrGart commented mesti orang kata kesian, dah tua anak baru sorang.   Perasan!  Well, nak buat camana.  Persuaded MrGart to hop over to the baking supplies store in Shah Alam.  Mak oii!  Ramainya manusia.  Nak raya punya pasal, manusia semata.  There were truckloads of those red-topped cookie containers for people who sell cookies.  Uish!  Beriya-iya sungguh mereka ini.

MrGart pointed out the Kuih Samperit mould and said that he wanted me to make them.  Errkk!  Hmm.  Ni kena google ni.  Challenges, challenges.  I like.

Ayisha fasted today for the first time and full too.  Aliya was whispering to me how she caught Asha eating entahapaapatah but I chose to ignore. Cooked laksa johor to bring to my mother’s but she’s tired from the tadarus classes, so next week we’ll go there.  I made the William-S0n0ma choc chip cookies and I thought they were gorgeous.  Especially as Ariz was munching 2 in the mouth and another 2 in each fist.  Leleh air liuq kakak-kakak yang puasa.

Saturday was also the day I pored and read the news on Nurin Jazlin.  Sedih tengok pictures the parents burying their little girl.  The picture that broke me was Nurin’s friend, a biy with tears streaming down his face.  Sungguh sedih.  Reading about the details of the murder, sickened me. Hanya binatang saja yang mampu buat begitu kepada kanak-kanak.  Kepada ibubapa Nurin, ingatlah, anak-anak bukan milik kita.  Dipinjamkan sahaja.  Sampai masa kita perlu pulangkan kepadaNya.

Sunday was spent at the new Tesc0 Extr@.  Besarnya mak oii!  Ariz insisted to run around the place and akujadi gabra.  Ish!  Geramnya.

Balik tu, I made the Oatmeal Choc Chip Cookies, recipe courtesy of Frog Commissery in the States.  I included raisins too.  That night we had a berbuka puasa do with friends and I gave some to them.  Mintak-mintakla sedap.  Memang sedap rupanya.  Perasan!

Well, that’s it.  Asha completed her 2 full days of fasting.  Aliya missed 3 days due to her being sick.  Adani fasted and unfasted so many times, I lost count.  Ariz still thinks he’s a lion.  He roars at people and he lunges at people.  He sondols people’s back and he crawls on the floor.  Oh anakku!
