It's a Silver

Today marks a special US – Abe and I moment. Looking back, it's been a long and winding road getting to where we are now. There have been ups and downs, trials and obstacles that came hammering. Wasn't easy, but we managed to surpass them – maybe not all. Some are bugging us still and I hope we are strong to persevere the ruffles and ripples, InshaAllah.

It's been a wonderful and delightful 25 years. Alhamdulillah for the treasured and cherished love, the showering of rezeki, blessing and happiness.

We move on now into another new day which will add to another year and hopefully to many more to come. To Allah the most glorified, the most high, we pray for enough happiness to keep us sweet; enough trials to keep us strong; enough sorrow to keep us human; enough hope to keep us happy; enough failure to keep us humble; enough success to keep us eager; enough friends to give us comfort; enough faith and courage in ourselves, enough wealth to meet our needs; enough determination to make each day a better day than yesterday.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

Bake & Celebrate

I hardly bake, actually. But work related stress had me trying my luck - sweat dripping by the oven sometime last week. Tried making cookies from a recipe I googled on the Internet. I still have a long way to go, that's for sure.

Anyway, these nutty chocs turned out not too bad and kids finished the plateful at one go.

Last weekend, the "crazy feeling" to bake came again. The many pictures (which most of the time made me drool) posted by superb bakers on FB, got me taking out my baking stuffs. And result of the hard work were these cuties (puji sendiri lah kan....).

We named them "Lil Pink Buttons" - plain butter cup cakes with sugar icing on top.

These was also another reason to celebrate. Our anniversary; as usual, it slipped my mind again this year. Only remembered it when I was driving the girls to their activities on Saturday. I could have sworn I entered important dates to my BB. Err....perhaps I did, but I did not save after doing so (which is very typical of me....)

It wasn't possible to do much of a celebration on Saturday itself as girls' program got us occupied till late afternoon. So how did we celebrate? Were there fireworks? Blimp across Shah Alam sky? Oh tidakkk....no need for that lah. Instead we opted to go do our favourite pass time -makan-makan :)

Dinner was here on Sunday evening.

The girls...

The shy guy....

The couple... (of 23 years & many, many kilos heavier and centimeters wider)

The couple back then (ohhh how to get back to that size again???)

Alamak..Terlambat Sudaa....

This visual presentation was to be featured on our anniversary - April 11th. Work on the video started sometime back. However, my busy schedule didn't quite permit me to make the final touches onto it. It's still not quite what I want. Heck, let it be, at times you've just gotta let your hair down and just let things be as is.

To ABE, here's to another year to create precious memories together, another year to discover new things to enjoy about each other. Another year to build a life rich in love and laughter and most of all another year to strengthen a marriage that defines "forever". InshaAllah.....

And...thank you for the lovely present too. It is really STORMing my life now :)
