My Weekend

The weekend started with a movie at Seri Q-Lap Cinema. We watched this…

‘Race to Witch Mountain’ with a favourite actor The Rock as the main actor. Movie was great. Then the guys (actually the hubby & boboy) wanted to watch THE MATCH berurung-urung so we went to my brother’s place in Mulaut *thanks Bob & Dk Zai for having us*. Not that I love football or anything but the hubby took out an extra Liverpool jersey to wear, so pakai tah *baik jua muat* hehe.

We watched the so called match and hey, berkat pakai baju Liverpool atu kali, manang tah jua. When the game started, the hubby said, ok Liverpool yang pakai baju grey tu ah bukan yang baju merah… haha…

Ok these two people suka berabis, their favourite team won… Imran kasian, balik-balik tekajut everytime the daddy jumped and cheered… and as for Zara, she spent most of the time running around the spacious living room sampai berpaluh-paluh. Others that came were Mum & Dad but too bad Ajim & Anna could not make it. I think we left for home at around 11 and continued with watching AF at home.

Sunday, we went for Dim Sum at Dynasty. To be honest, its been a while since we had a proper ‘Family Saturday’ with Muizz always not around and busy with other stuff. So we went for an unplanned Dim Sum breakfast at our favourite place Dynasty. So the whole HSN family kumpul.. Oh yes, before I forget, there’s a new addition to the HSN Family (no… I did not have a baby)… hehe making it now seven of us in the house. I’m sure most of you know who it is. After Dim Sum, the hubby went home with Muizz & PE since they had some other thing planned. The hubby is now busy training for ‘something’ so most Sunday afternoons will only be us girls plus the ‘new addition’.

So instead of going home, we decided to spend a girls day out. Mira had her hair done at Alan Inspiration Salon at the Mall whilst Nanee had her’s done at Evina. We first sent Mira to do her’s which took 4 long hours then we walked to Evina’s… Nanee had a wash and cut, whilst Alaina and myself waited. Before that, we dropped by Best Eastern and bought myself this….

I haven’t finished reading it yet but I want to make sure I do before the actual movie comes out. So far its great, baru pulang chapter 3 :) After Nanee finished with her hair, we went back to The Mall. Baru two hours passed by so we jalan-jalan. Alaina bought pants and I bought something from Charles & Keith. Whilst there, PE came with Muizz. I guess PE keboringan kali and Muizz had to go somewhere else so PE joined us.

We went to check on Mira tapi balum siap, so Alaina & PE waited for Mira whilst Nanee and myself jalan lagi. Macam habis sudah kadai di Mall atu diround-i so in the end, decided to go to Cheez Box. The others joined us inda lama after that.

We left The Mall around 4. On the way home, mula-mula kan ke JPMC swimming but after reaching home, semua mengalih and the girls pun didn’t want to basahkan their new hairdo, so plan cancelled. Instead.. we hit the sack :) The hubby came back from training just before Maghrib our weekend ended with cooking Maggie for dinner :)

It really makes me happy when I can spend some quality family time with the kids like this especially during weekends. We’re always busy during weekdays so we have to at least make it up during the weekends… I hope we can do this forever :) Spending time with the family doesn’t necessarily mean going shopping and all, the idea of doing something together as as family is enough such as having lunch, catching a movie or even going swimming or hiking at Bukit Shahbandar together…

On a different note, only FIVE more days to go before our holiday and we are all very excited. A holiday once in a while is good. A time to get away from work and other worries. Lets pray that everything goes well….

Till then…. good night all!

Next..

Finished reading this and started this!

*Its getting more interesting*

How much?

Look who’s reading the Twilight Saga now.. hehe
In case you’re wondering the price of the books… read on! (this is for you ‘guest’)
Twilight (498 pages) – B$18.80 (Best Eastern) – i’m sure this would have cost less at Readers Haven
New Moon (563 pages) – B$17.80 (Booker)
Eclipse (629 pages) – B$21.00 (Booker)
Breaking Dawn (754 pages) – B$20.00 (Reader’s Haven)this costs B$26.00 at Best Eastern

So if you’re looking for a good bargain (locally), I suggest you go to Reader’s Haven but last time I went, they only had ‘Breaking Dawn’ available.

Update: I have nearly finished reading ‘New Moon’

Yes!

Sampai tah sudah hajat. (Told you that I could’nt wait till the weekend). The hubby had to go to FZ tonight for something and Muizz jalan berhari raya so the girls and I decided to go out. Main agenda was to get a copy of ‘you know what’ from Best Eastern. Tapi nya, when we got there, the books were not there.. arrgghh. Abis wah, atu kan banyak ari atu! The only one left was ‘Breaking Dawn’ which I have already bought from Readers Haven (glad I bought it there becuase it costs $6 more in Best Eastern) *thanks again to Deeya for the info*.

So I asked the salesgirl when the books will arrive and she said probably next week. We then asked her to call the other branches to check if they have it in stock. The branch at Manggis had only Eclipse atu pun tinggal one copy saja. She asked me if I wanted to reserve it but I said no (jauh kali ah). The Athirah & Rimba branch also were sold out (eh laku jua ah).

So we left Best Eastern a bit disappointed. I guess I will just have to wait. After round-round at the Mall (the girls bali baju), I remembered Bookers International just around the corner. It started to drizzle a bit. So we drove off to Bookers. I let the girls out first because nada parking. Ina terus cakap… “Ma, ada Ma, tu Ina nampak ah”. She could see the book from outside. So I hurriedly cari parking, baik jua ada. We went inside and I saw ‘New Moon’ (last copy), ‘Breaking Dawn’ and ‘Twilight’. I asked the girl if they have ‘Eclipse’. At first she said ‘nada’, then when we went to the cashier to pay for ‘New Moon’, the other lady then told t
he sales girl to take out a copy of ‘Eclipse’ from underneath which was supposed to be reserved for someone but I guess that person has not come to collect it.

So yeahhh I bought both ‘New Moon’ & ‘Eclipse’. So know I have the whole ‘Twilight Saga’. I can’t wait to start reading but I just had to update this blog to let you guys know *hehe*. I finished Twilight in just a couple of days. These other books will sure keep me busy for the next week or so.

Oh one more thing, the price at Bookers is also a bit cheaper than at Best Eastern but not as cheap as Readers Haven (just for info)… I pass by Readers Haven everyday (twice a day actually.. to/from work and I don’t know why I haven’t singgah dulu)..

Ok peeps, I’m off to start reading New Moon :)

Sweet dreams!

Twilight Series

Dropped by Readers Haven after work today, konon kan mambali the 2nd book of the Twilight Series i.e. ‘New Moon‘. Tapinya, nada.. The lady said it was out of stock and would probably arrive end of the month. I don’t think I can wait that long. Not my day… I finished reading ‘Twilight‘ last night and eagarly waiting to start ‘New Moon‘. Readers Haven only had this:

Photobucket
which is Book 4 of the Twilight Series. We left the store empty handed, skali when we were about to drive out, pikir tah ku jua, might as well buy it since its available, so Mira went to the store again and bought ‘Breaking Dawn‘. Lets hope I can refrain myself from peeking into the book….I need to read New Moon and Eclipse first.

So I’m planning a visit to Best Eastern soon… jauh lagi and normally we only go jalan during the weekends, so guess I’ll have to wait till then (antah tahan kah jua tu)..
