Raya Marathon *faint*

Errr...what I meant is Raya shopping marathon. My oh my....my leg hurts..my feet sore and my head spins like spinning gasing!

uwaaaaaaa i'm getting migrain!!!!

-_____-

We went out quite early yesterday morning.

Mission : to shopped raya clothes for my nieces n nephews.

We headed to 1 U and it's seems fine....parking was easy ~ not so crowded...*ceh I thought i was the early one*...:P

The first shop we went, my niece n my sis took their own sweet time to browse n tried few clothes while the guys sat outside waiting for us patiently....After a while we then managed to buy few clothes and walked out happily. Then...

HomyGod...°O°

We were in there for 45 mins...and suddenly whosssh it's like magic...there's more people! I soon realized that each and everyone of us had the same mission in our head...lol

and so the race begins......(¬_¬)

It's NOT easy to find clothes for kids especially when u'r dealing with teenagers. I remember 2-3 years back I can just go to either Parkson, Metrojaya or Jusco, bought them few clothes and they seems happy about it. No question asked.

Now...it's not even close to it...there are more branded stuff out there.

ZARA, MNG, FOREVER 21, TOPSHOP, MISS SELFRIDGE, CACHE-CACHE....etc...you name it... that's for the girl!!!!

As for the boys they go for more sporty brands like...NIKE, ADIDAS, FILA, CONVERSE, SKECHERS etc...

*i could hear clearly ka-ching..ka-chinnnngggg $$$*



Since they can't find everything in one place, we decided to continue our next mission.

: MID VALLEY! :

Btw we had a short trip to Bangsar boutiques @ Jln Telawi before we headed to MV *hub's waiting patiently...thanks darl!*

When we reached Mid Valley it's already 4pm. We thought we need to booked place for iftar. I was so shocked that all places were fully booked accept for Pizza Hut. They don't allow us to make reservation...first come first served...and thank god for that! The boys n girls continued to find their own stuff and by 5.30pm hubby decided to check out the Pizza Hut outlet ...boy o boy...he said that the queue was looooonng! Not only at the restaurants, the most crowded spot certainly would be the cashier. The queue was damn long I tell ya!  We had to put aside some of the clothes at the counter and asked the salesgirls to guarded our stuff with her own life....hahahaha *kidding*. We decided to come back after iftar and pay later. Meanwhile hubby managed to find spots for five of us at Pizza Hut *thanks again darl* Even my toes n feet are so thankful to him this time...hehe :D

After makan-ing, we took our stuff, paid...n' quickly had our final 'tawaf' until everyone agrees to 'cabut'. And it doesn't took us a long time to make those decision...15 mins! *by this time everyone seems 'pancit' already* haha :D

Before we reached home we went to pick up our made-to-order curtains at Nagoya @ Carrefour. The time is 10pm and the crowd just keep coming. Felt like its already raya the next day! I guess everyone is making their last minute shopping before heading back to their hometown next week.

Alhamdulillah after all the chaos we finally reached home by 11pm...and the happiest person would be my niece & nephew...but most of all is my hubby!

So that's the end of the 12 hours marathon...even though we're all tired...I'm glad everyone is happy. I'm sure everyone had their own funny experience n shopping stories.  Are we gonna do this again next time?...well... YES...and because Raya is only once a year...every Muslims deserve to celebrate and be happy after fasting for one month.

Till then, stay strong...keep on going and fill up your nights with more ibadah. Raya is near...and this is for you. Have a great day ahead peeps!

Captain America : The First Avenger

I watched Captain America before Ramadan and it was AWESOME.

I've always been a big fan of Marvel & DC Comics (though I'm not much of a comic book reader), I used to watched lots of cartoons and TV series when I was a kid. In this movie we're introduced to the first Avenger - Captain America. Starring Chris Evans as Captain America himself (also known as Human Torch in The Fantastic Four), legendary Tommy Lee Jones, Hugo Weaving as Red Skull (we knew him from The Matrix n LOTR), Hayley Atwell, Stanley Tucci (he acted in so many movies) and directed by Joe Johnston.


I'm not gonna tell ya the whole story, you can read it here or go and watch the movie yourself. Trust me, it won't disappoint you (at least not me hehe..)


Though I must say that Marvels keeps doing it better and better *thumbs up*. Just wait till the end of the movie credits for a special Avengers trailer (hehe...just wait n watch okay!) I'm so looking forward to it next year. Till then for those who missed it...watch this.

I found this Retro poster and kinda like it too...

Ooh ya! I made this cake for my nephew's birthday (Happy Birthday Cici!) with Captain America toppers using buttercream frosting. Because he loves 'CA' so much, I just thought that this theme would be great for his birthday. I made one recipe of Super moist vanilla cake and divide the batter into 7 shades of rainbow. I layered the cake with St. Dalfour strawberry jam and walla...it turns out to be quite well for amateur like me. But most important my nephew loves it! *skip wt joy* :D


After almost 2 weeks fasting, stay strong, keep on going n stay healthy. May ALLAH blessed our ibadah. Till then Salam Ramadan peeps.
