Atuk dalam pool

Aisha: Mama! Nyanyi lagu atuk dalam pool?
Mama: Huh? Lagu apa tu?
Aisha: Nyanyi lah sekawang Mama!
Mama: Hmmm...uhhmmm lalala atuk dalam pool...
Aisha: Bukan la Mama!
Mama dah gabra, sure sat lagi budak ni jerit. Mama try la macam-macam lagu, semua bukan. Adeh!

Then baru Mama teringat!

Anak itik tok wi
Mandi dalam kolam
Sakit apa tok wi?
Sakit sendi tulang
Ubat apa tok wi?
Ubat limau lelang!

Every day is Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and those who mothers (include cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish, turtles, etc..) As much as the celebration been commercial, it's always status quo for me. No special lunch, no spa treatment and what nots. Seperti biasa, I'm always the mak budak. The only thing special is the card I received and the attempt by the kids to bake cupcakes. Well, the way I see it, depa yang nak cupcakes more than Mama, hehe.


As usual, my ever creative Aina will always come up with the greetings card, thank you Darling!


Cakes in the oven. Sebelum tu, berebut timbang ingredients, berebut nak handle the mixer. Last-last, Abang beat the eggs, Amir & Aisha took turn with the mixer. Aina, well..she had tummy ache, so she slept. Then berebut nak take out the cups from the plastic and lay them straight for Mama to fill in the cups.


Nasib baik cupcakes ni senang nak buat. The secret, beli pre-mixed ingredient. Kat rumah cuma tambah eggs, water & melted butter.


Keluar oven je, terus wallop. Sebelum tu cuci mixer dengan tangan sambil menjilat jari.


Last sekali, Aina yang prepare the buttercream with Mama piping them on the cuppies. Papa kata lawanya cake, boleh jual. Mama kata tu baru amateur yang buat. Kalau dah pro memang boleh buka bakery, anak-anak yang makan sendiri :)

Of course, bab mencuci, mengemas still Mamalah. Kan dah cakap status quo...every day is Mother's Day... Fathers out there, please appreciate the mothers! They never take a break!


(sebenarnya Mama yang never take a break...I know some mothers out there got pampered on this day..sob, sob..)
