Post cerita Ultah Louie yg ke-1

Sebulan lalu, Louie my boy, tepat berusia 1tahun. Berarti udah sekitar 8bulan-an lebih kita di saudi arabia. Acara ulang tahun Louie aku rayain dengan amat sederhana, gak seperti cie-cienya dulu. Aku cuman ngundang satu keluarga, dan satu lagi teman dekat suami..Karena, si Tuan rumah, yg gak sanggup masak untuk orang banyak.. Lha wong, gak pinter masak..Malu ah, undang banyak2 orang, dan lagi setelah dipikir2 louie juga paling gak ngeh sama ultahnya dia.

Walaupun hanya ngundang sedikit orang, tapi aku bisa bilang persiapanku heboh juga...LOL
Bikin kue ultah udah 2hari sebelonnya...karena berniat bikin hiasan pake homemade fondant, dengan bentuk mobil. Louie emang suka sekali dengan segala yang beroda. (lelaki sekali memang..^_^)

Setelah ngublek ngublek dan mantengin youtube terus, akhirnya kejadian juga deh mobilnya louie. Yang hasilnya gak sesuai dengan desain awal...haha...mobilnya pun yang pengen nya warna merah, malah jadi pinky gitu..ya wis lah, sudah duluan cwuapek..
Bikinnya udah pake kurang tidur, anak2 super duper rewel hari itu...badan rasanya remuk redam..Pengennya, cepet cepet lah acara ini berlaluuuuu... hahaha..

Kuenya, minta resep temen..yahud emang rasanya..aku tambahin filling pake black cherry, en chocolate ganache...jadi rasanya kayak black forest gitu lho.
Lalu untuk mobil2nya aku pake kek yang instan aja lah, gak mau ribet lagi aku, aku pilih betty crocker adza..
Untuk makan malamnya, aku masak bihun goreng, ayam panggang isi apel, brokoli,ikan goreng dan ca jamur. Nyaris tekpar ngerjainnya, abis gak ada yg bantuin.

Louie dapet hadiah tenda2 an beserta terowongannya dari uncle david fam ama uncle teo..sedang dari mama papanya dapet hadiah mobil2an...Dia seneng banget hari itu.. Ikutan seneng juga jadi ortunya.






Mobil2 and dari mom & Dad & Zoe

Louie lagi diem2 nyuri coklat kek..


Glad I did that!! and lega rasanya bisa kerjain semuanya ndiri gak ada yg bantuin..

Hellow there!!

Alright..*take a deep breath*, where should I begin??
Too much stories, too much changes, too little words I could think of.
It's almost 9months since we moved from vietnam, to the land of 1001 nights..
So many events, many stories have not been penned here..
My two kids seem to enjoy living here...Zoe loved the nursery she goes to, Louie my boy is enjoying his crawling ...and destructing the house too! ^_^
Not only them, me also feel the same way..I love living here, I love the easy-life. I din believe I said this, but I do enjoy living without a maid..
It does work to shape up my body after giving birth..^_^..

Allrighty, my new post..better take it easy..I just want to share some of our latest pictures..
This is me, and Zoe (3,5yrs), and Louie (1 year), with our beloved gear to send Zoe to school.

This is My boy Louie

This is my dearest hubby and zoe

Last but not least, our family picture taken during Louie's 1st birthday dinner.

Journal of the day

Our sundays routine seem predictable and almost the same every week. Woke up late, had breakfast at home or outside, and after that enjoy the cheap indulgence in one of the saloon to wash hair.. :o) Me and my hubby like to pamper ourself with the affordable beauty regime while we can here.
And this week, is nothing different. The same routine again. My hair is a typical dull, frizy, super duper dry hair. Washing it with my own hand, will always end up like I never wash, and comb my hair. Guess, that's the reason why I like to go saloon and wash it there. Lucky enough for me, and my lazy behaviour, the price I have to pay..is affordable. They would wash your hair, give your face and head a massage, and blow dry for around an hour, would cost me between 40-50,000 VND (2-3USD). The result is brighter face, and of course no more frizzy hair look.
We always bring zoe with us, and let her play with her toy or play with the saloon lady. So far, no complain from her, and she's quite enjoying her trip to saloon. Like today, she also enjoying her pedicure...
After we're done with our hair, we went to the baby shop to buy the baby cot. Yes, the baby will be due in four-five weeks time. Preparation for the baby just started.
The baby cot is ready, thanks for zoe and dad who hand in hand assemble the baby cot. Oh ya, the baby taffle also ready.
My maternity bag, not finish packed. Am stil waiting till all the baby clothes finish washed.
I hope the second child will be born on time. We're planning to have the baby delivered in FV hospital in Saigon. If everything is running as planned, I'll be going to saigon few days before the due date. My mom and my sister will be there for me...yipii, can't wait to meet them.
Zoe is more than excited to welcoming her baby brother, everyday she would choose her old clothes to be given for her brother. I love to see the excitement on her eyes, and I always want to involve her with the preparation for the baby. Like, choosing the clothes, packing the baby bag, cleaning the toys with zoe. I think it will make her feel involved, needed, and feel like she's turned to be a big sister..:o)
Another month to go....nervous nervous....:o))
