It was Chloe’s 3rd birthday party on Saturday, and i had such a great day! I was in a really good mood, cos i switched off work for 24 hours and i felt so FREE. No rushing around like a maniac, more time to FLOW.
For her birthday present i went through my decoration drawers to build her the most colourful box i could possibly enthuse filled with paper and metallic streamers, pom poms, sequins of diff kinds, taped felt clouds and raindrops, wrapped the bottom with rainbow foil (a defective rainbow balloon i hoarded) and different little presents hidden in them all.
Serena said that Chloe loves play doh so we were encouraged to give her that, but i went for a purple pony, kiddie tote bag, wooden animal pencil, a 90s cloth necklace, giant rainbow pocky, and japanese crackers.
I’m soooo crazy busy this week that all my hours have been carefully delegated to working, eating, and exercising. Throw in an event, and time to wash hair (yeah i even had to factor that in -_-), i have to be sooo conscious on having people around me that bring me joy cos i need it to destress! (cue: Baby/Faridah)
Laughing makes me feel like everything is alright, and that’s why we are here isn’t it – to experience one of the most amazing forms of human emotion on the planet.
Douglas messaged me weeks ago to help him post this, and i said i would cos i LOVE all his shows, i always laugh HEAPS!
Figured now is a good time to blog about food since Ramadan is starting this weekend and it’d be a lil rude to post bout it then!
Not that the first pic is even halal… WELL I TRIED
Tai Yong took me to Ru Di Fook Noodle Bar @ Kota Damansara one Sunday evening after MONTHS of us not hanging out. He was getting mad at me. When the siew yoke came, it was beautiful but TY peered at it going, “So small!” Well, it IS a slightly more atas wan tan mee place, i was expecting it to come as so. Greedy TY la.
“Next time order big okay.”
While waiting for the food, the hip hop playing caught our attention and we slowly started bopping our heads along to it, while staring at it each other like we couldn’t believe the music there.
“The music is so on point.”
Right: I’ll definitely return to it, take my parents too. Check out my mocktail – it was delish btw!
So glad there’s a nice noodle place in KD!
Left: After Ru Di Fook, he took me to Foo Foo Fine Desserts in TTDI.
We were a wee bit over ourselves and ordered a dessert each and could barely finish…
TY had a green tea creme brulee, and i a salted caramel profiteroles. Two of my fave dessert factors, together! I had to try it.
+ + + + +
One weekend, Jun & i went to the Food For Good market at The Row.
Me mainly to support Idan, but also had a good laugh with Tony who introduced us to Rosana.
Left:
Rosana sells dry sambal under her brand Rosana’s Homemade Food. It is the bomb, i bought 5 jars.
The one i’m dipping into now to sprinkle on my salads and rice for an extra kick is her Kaffir Lime & Lemongrass dry sambal, made with shrimp paste + kaffir lime leaves + lemongrass + fragrant Sarawak black pepper + bird’s eye chilli + anchovies + shallots (no added salt, sugar or preservatives).
Right:
Idan was selling ox tongue rice and spicy green sambal under The Aiden Picnic.
I already have a full jar of green chilli from another local seller at a market i recently bought (called @RealSambal) so i got one for Baby called Sambal Queen cos she LOVES adding chilli to everything. It’s super pedas.
And then, i succumbed to buying 3 cookies for RM 15 from Dope Dough. I never heard of the brand, just stood there staring at the jars and was asked to try a little. I was sold -_-
I don’t even like cookies that much. I never buy cookies! (except for CNY). But these had generous soft chocolate bits in them, and had variations of flavours and nuts you could choose from.
After that we ran off before i spent any more on food and snacks.
Not bad for a 45-minute pit stop.
Sometimes you don’t want that day to end
cos when the darkness falls, there’s no going back
No going back to the same day
where just hours earlier many things, a million things, were different
