Weekend Activities

Babah has been so busy with work, but I insisted that we at least spend a few hours with Aina, take her out for a bit and DO stuff as a family. It was then decided that if Aina wakes up early on Saturday, then we'll take her for a little picnic. She's been mentioning "nic-nic" the past few days anyway, from watching her Mickey Mouse videos. Good thing she's not asked for a luau!!!! (It's also in one of the Mickey DVDs).

Anyway, come Saturday, she did wake up early so we decided to take her out. However, with the weather being so unpredictable these days, and grey clouds could be seen looming in the horizon, we decided to make it a short one just by the lake in Subang ~ the one near Holiday Villa, if you know which one I mean.

Just before arriving at the lake, we bought nasi lemak for the adults, and a piece of sausage for the tiny tot :-D Next stop was 7-E for drinks, then it was straight to the lake.

While having our picninc, Aina had fun watching the birds, enjoying the peaceful morning and seeing the trains pass by (the rail line was very close). Oh yeah, speaking of trains, that will probably be our next weekend activity with Aina.

Our picnic was cut rather short with the threat of rain, but then hubby wanted to go to GM Klang to get some stuff. We only spent about half an hour there as he was in a rush to get to work. Aina got colouring books ~ 6 books for R12.50, complete with stickers.

When we got home I prepared a quick, simple lunch since hubby was going in to work immediately after.

Sunday morning, we decided to go to the morning market near the Puchong toll exit, just to see if we could get some nice veggies. I was getting bored with the veggies available in Cold Storage!! It was a HUGE disappointment, and we ended up going to a shop somewhere in Puchong that had great fresh veggies and other stuff, and we also bought some fresh ribs and tenderloin. When we got home, I obvously rushed into the kitchen to prepare the ribs and got out the pressure cooker to cook the ribs. Our simple lunch consisted of stir-fried kailan (chinese broccoli) with garlic and oyster sauce and sup tulang, the extra-spicy sambal kicap being the perfect accompaniment :-D

That afternoon, I decided to finish a project I'd started for Aina, and never quite completed it for some reason. It used to be mine, a size 16, and now it fits Aina as a cute minidress :-) Thanks again very very much to hubby for the sewing machine which made the hemming super-fast!!

Yup. I know it's super-blurry. I will try and snap a pic of Aina wearing it soon. I was too lazy to take out the dslr, so I just used my fone camera again.... :p
