Sigh!

I am doing homework while every one else in the house is asleep. sigh! Though i do not have any classes tomorrow but i have deadline to send the online workshop by tomorrow before 12 noon. hmmmmm....

Read somewhere that says; while studying, get up regularly every 30 minutes or so..do some stretching or to ease the mind. I have to agree with that..and that's why i am updating my blog (an interval)..hehe.

I looked out the window and saw the roads are covered with snow again and now i am thinking whether i should send the kids to school tomorrow or just spend time with them..(ibu mood malas nak turun naik bus!). LOL. I guess it is about time i have to change my driving licence. *winks*

Ok peepz..i have to call it a day and leave you guys with this quote : -

A good laugh and a long sleep are the best cures in the doctor's book. ~Irish~

On the way home

Danish: "Bubu tager billeder".
Bubu: "You want me to take your picture?"
Danish: "Ja, come bubu..here!" and started to pose.
Wahhh vain jugak my son..layanzzz..
Picture taken on the way to fetch Sofea. I was worried that he might want me to carry him but surprisingly he walked all the way from Nordhavn station to vuggestuen and home. Good boy abang..

Walking hand in hand..Opsss abang, you dropped your Thomas train..hehe

Hadith of the Day

Came across this hadith from hadith of the day page in FB. This is such a beautiful ayat that i would like to share with all..

"Allah does not wish to impose hardship upon you. Rather, He wishes to purify you; and to complete His blessings upon you; and in order that you may be thankful." [Qur'an, 5.6]

Lets hop together

Lets hop and hop and hope together...kids enjoying themselves. *video taken yesterday*

Another fresh week tomorrow...back to the same routine...i'm not complaining cause at least my time will be preoccupied with lots of activities.

Fun time with the kids

We have been looking around for an indoor playground for the kids and we just found out that Østerbrohuset has such facililites. It is indeed a great news for us since Østerbrohuset is just 2 mins away from our house. Cheap and convenient...with just 35 kr for the entrance fee and kids can play all day long.
playing together..

Always alert in case of any unexpected incident.

Tarzannnnn...

blocks...

Kuat jugak si kecik ni.

Break time - ibu prepared lunch box for the kids. Rice with baked honey wings and bicuits.

Hockey time.

Spin round and round..

Lets hop and hop and hop

she wants to give a try..

Ok abang, i'm ready to challenge you. hehee

The kids were exhausted after running around for almost 3 hours. It was indeed a quality time spend with loved ones.

Having fun at Østerbrohuset

Danish and Sofea having fun at Østerbrohuset, an indoor playground for the kids during winter time.

Thai style stir fried mussels and basil

Had a date with hubby as soon as we sent off the kids. We went to Fisketorvet. Hubby was in

good shopping mood. hehehe and guess who was the lucky one? Yes it's ME!!!! Thank you so much for the Viking gummi boots and fab dress and not forgetting our delicious lunch. I simply love 'em and of course i love you even more. muahahahaha..*sape baca jangan nak muntah ok*. LOL

On our way home we made a stop at Fullhouse to get fresh mussels. Thai style stir fried mussels and basil for our dinner. Really easy to make, all you need is garlic, red chilies, green chilies, oyster sauce, basilikum, mussels, water, sugar and salt. Tralalalalala..and it's ready but make sure you wash mussels properly.

Time is 22.27. Time to sleep...and i leave you all with this quote...good nite all. Sleep tite.

*The future depends on what we do in the present* - Mahatma Gandhi.

Lunch @ Rosetta

Lunch date with Kak Ros, Sherry, Sufiya, Za and Zahra at Rosetta Nordre Frihavnsgade right after class. As usual i ate salmon and spinach pizza. Super yummilicous.

Sherry n dotter..Za n dotter.

She is simply gorgeous, adorable and smart. So so cute..macam nak kena cubit. Geramzzzzzzzzzzz....

It was great meeting you again Za...hope we will get to see you n Zahra again in CPH or perhaps in UK, insyaallah.

Ugly slush

From such a beautiful snow to an ugly slush.

Beef and beans burrito

Salam all. The 1st day back to school after 2 weeks juleferie. Back to the normal routine, woke up at 0600 hrs, left the house at 0800 hrs to send Sofea and headed straight to school. Classes from 0900 till 1400 hrs. Rest for an hour or so before picking up the kids.

Ok enough of that. Above is a picture of our simple dinner yesterday. We had beef and beans burrito served with nachos and fresh salad. Pretty easy to make. If you don't feel like eating rice or noodles, why not try burritos..simply delicious! *winks*

Jalan2 @ Waterfront

Today we jalan2 at Waterfront...jalan2 with an intention..no no no not shopping..more to selling empty bottles. So, we headed straight to Netto..not bad tau 1 big trash bag full of empty bottles worth 85 kroner.
Busy cik abang oiiii...

Izz Danish busy shopping for grocery. hehehe..

Just another simple day of our simple life. Alhamdulillah.

Fried Bihun

A simple, fast, easy and tasty meal to whip up and you can eat it anytime of the day. We had fried bihun and coffee for our brunch today. Hmmm kenyang!

Doner kebab

We had home made Doner Kebab served on a pita bread and fries for brunch yesterday before headed to Central for grocery shopping. Initially we thought of bring the kids out for some fun at the playground but the weather was just too windy eventhough with bright sunshine. So another day spend in the house. Kids playing..hubby resting (since he was still unwell) and ibu catching up on my reading.

Simple NY celebration

We had a real simple new year's eve celebration. We decided to spend it jus the 4 of us. We started off by watching Queen Margrethe's new year message. Dronningens nytårstale 2010 (Queen's New Year Speech 2010)

Our dinner was simple, hearty and perfect for a new year's eve - indbagt oksemørbrad (baked beef tenderloin) with mushroom sauce and baked/boiled vegetables.

He was so happy when Mr Hubby gave him the kid's party set.

Bonding time with little princess.

AND she was too tired to wait till the fireworks...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..

It was karaoke time for ibu and hubby when the kids dozed off. By the time we watched the fireworks, it was closed to 3am before we went to bed. Simple and relaxing celebration. Det var hyggeligt.

Goodbye 2010...Welcome 2011

As the new year blossoms, may the journey of your life be fragrant with new opportunities, your days be bright with new hopes and your heart be happy with love!!! Happy New Year. Kisses and hugs from us.

Risengrød

Risengrød aka rice pudding, a dish made from rice and milk and served with sprinkle of cinnamon sugar and butter. The kids love it.

When used as a dessert, it is commonly combined with a sweetener eg hot cherry sauce.
Yum yum....

Closed up...sedap bubu!!!

Risengrød easy and quick to prepare and most importantly yummilicous.

"Sit sit...sne sne"

My kids were so excited to see the snow (macam first time pulak nampak!). Lil pumpkin said bu..sit sit, pointing at the window. Lil hero said see bubu...sne..meget sne!!! Kecoh betul kan bebudak ni..but layanz aje lah.

It was really cold yesterday and i was too lazy to go anywhere. Lazy to push the twins buggy around and lazy to put on the winter gear. Lazy lazy lazy..so we stayed indoor. Cian the kids..

Maher zain- Alhamdulilah

Alhamdulillah segala puji-pujian bagi ALLAH. We are grateful to YOU.

Such a nice song by Maher Zain.

To my Hubby - Congrats and syukur Alhamdulillah.

Lynne's style Murtabak Sardine

Selamat pagi, Good morning and God morgen to everyone. It's the last week of Juleferie (Christmas Holiday) here in Denmark. I am enjoying it with the kids before going back to school next week. huhuhu..

This morning, ibu decided to make murtabak sardine using the leftovers from yesterday..as much as possible i will try not to waste any foods. As Gordon Ramsey's says, 'Nothing is wasted in my kitchen'.

So jemputz semua...

Kids Loppemarked

I am thinking whether or not to join and open a stand for the kids loppemarked scheduled on 23 January at Østerbrohuset, just 2 mins away from my place. It is a good idea to sell off the kids old clothes, toys, accessories and etc. Hmmm...thinking cap ON.

What is today's menu? A simple grilled/baked lemon chicken with black pepper sauce, potatoes and salad. Insya'allah.

Another PJ Day? I don't think so...

For now, i leave you guys with this - "Avoid jealousy, for it destroys good deeds as fire destroys wood" (Riyadh-us-Salahin No. 1569)

Snow to ice

As we all know that glaciers are made up of snow that accumulates and eventually turns to ice (like in the mountains). But look at the pictures below...snow turns to ice at the rooftop. For safety purposes, the building maintenance has decided to block the area from pedestrians. see below pic - a much clearer shot.

Imagine if it fell on you..ishhhh diperjauhkan..

The roads is still very icy and there is still no sign of snowplow around. Very dangerous indeed. So till then, drive carefully peepz. *smile*

Beautiful Saturday morning

Despite the crappy forecast we have such a beautiful saturday morning. After snowing and gloomy weather for several days, finally the sun is out this morning although it's still pretty cold..as at 1200 hrs, the temperature is -8 deg. brrrrrrr...

Start the day with our yummy breakfast...Laksa and mee goreng instant. How about the kids? Ohh well...cereals for them...(",)

Homemade laksa nyonya for Mr Hubby. Balance from yesterday's dinner.
(Recipe from Myresipi.com) - worth trying it!

Mee goreng instant for ibu (courtesy from Aya). Thank you so much Puan Sri Aya.

Well today another PJ (pyjamas) day. Feeling extremely lazy to walk ard...ok time to cook..what is today's menu??? Ox-Tail soup with potatoes. insyallah.

It's normal here that the kids will bring home julegaver for their parents during Xmas time. It's nothing on religion thingy just more to tradition wise. *peace*

Winter 2010

Unusual cold winter has gripped Denmark this year and snowstorm is expected today and tomorrow. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr....stay warm. Here are some pictures taken over the weekend. We went sledding with the kids at Fælledparken, about 5 mins drive from our place.
Beautiful yet so cold..

With the kids just started their Juleferie till 2nd January, ibu will be preoccupied at home with them. AND with this kind of weather, the best is stay indoor and snuggling around. hehehee...PJ day today!!!! another excuse not to have an early shower. *winks*
