Happy 11th Birthday, Arissa!

My youngest turns 11 today. It's already a family tradition that for birthdays, we would go out for makan-makan and then organise a cake cutting ceremony (hah! very formal one) at home afterwards. And normally, as the case with Alia's and Asma's birthdays last August, I would cook something (usually a favourite of the birthday girl or boy) to go along with the cake cutting event. Unfortunately, it was not to be this year for Arissa. I mean I didn't cook for her. I fell sick. Really sick. In fact I'm quite sick now and I've asked the Bapak to help me upload the photos. And for him to spell check this entry as well. (Lots of spelling mistakes lah, fening fening!)

This is Arissa. The Birthday Girl. We went to Secret Recipe at Subang Parade. Because she wanted pasta. And Arissa, Alia and Bapak ordered Spaghetti Meatball. Asma and I were having Black Pepper Chicken.
Arissa and her Bapak. Peace to you my darling!

Back home, Arissa was esctatic with her Birthday gifts from Bapak, me, her kakaks and Opah Temoh. er, by the way that Famous Amos hamper on the right was mine, a gift from my hubby. This year, whenever our girls celebrated birthdays, he would gave me something too. Said that I should be getting something too as I played a vital role in delivering our babies. How sweet, dont you all think so?

I managed to bake a chocolate cake for Arissa this morning. It doesn't look that good as I' still shivering from sickness. But Bapak said it tastes good! Alhamdulillah.

The girls bukak hadiah, lupa lak nak makan.

As I'm too sick to even lift a finger, and Bapak is busy ambik gambar, my girls set the table for our birthday dinner at home. Thanks , sayang!

Lauk-pauk dinner Birthday Arissa. We ordered two large Domino's Pizza and chicken wings. And then my neighbour Sabrina sent this wonderful Mee Bandung and fried chicken over. Rezeki. She and her husband Jefry had a Raya Open House by the pool earlier on. We went over after coming back from Subang Parade... sedap2 makanan - apart from mee bandung, she had the usual lemang, nasi himpit plus rendang and Nasi Ayam. Then of course segala kuih-muih. Sedap.
