Our Dinner @ Nando’s Chicken USJ Taipan 4 Jan 2014

IMG_4025 It has been long long time that I had not eat Nando’s Chicken, it is because Nando’s peri-peri sauce.

It is not everyone can accept the taste of the peri-peri sauce. Nando’s chicken are marinated in their famous peri-peri sauce for 24 hours to give you the great peri-peri taste.

Another thing about the chicken is flame-grilled to order and never fried, in front of you.

It have its great peri-ohmmeter to choose from (lemon & herb peri-peri, mild peri-peri, hot peri-peri and extra hot peri-peri )

IMG_4028 I choose for Issac and Annabelle from their Nandinos Meal chicken which is grilled in the special kiddies basting sauce without the fiery kick, as I know both of them cannot take spicy and hot taste.

Chicken Breast Burger set for Issac which comes with a Soft Drink, Fruits and Potatoes Wedges;

Whereby as for Annabelle is Chicken Wings sets which comes with a Soft Drink too, vegetables and Mediterranean Rice.

On top of that, I ordered a soup with garlic bread. And their signature 1/4 Peri-Peri chicken with 2 regular sides which is Grilled Vegetable and Spicy Rice too.

IMG_4040 Both children were enjoyed the meals too, especially the interior decorations and the concepts of the seating.

I guess the last time I had was during 2012 at Putrajaya.

Well… Finally, I had my Nando’s Chicken after cravings for so long…

Annabelle 1st Day Primary1 2 Jan 2014

20140102_115850 Today is Annabelle first day in school. I am glad that her Daddy came and witnessed this important day of hers. Daddy fetched her to school, as I need to take half day leave in the afternoon for this day.

We just accompanied her to Chee Wen the big hall. She was with others new students queuing up in front of the auditorium hall and waited for their turns for assembly.

After the assembly, they will be guided to their own classes. Daddy even took a photo of her new form teacher 2E, Miss. Lim. Just in case, she forgot how is her form teacher looks like XXD.

20140102_120357 At the mean while, all the parents were directed to the Auditorium to attend a briefing which is organised by the Parents Teachers Association of the school to update and given the latest information on the school, ministry of education related matters.

Daddy and I were going back after Annabelle went to her class, and we came back again during her recess time, to check on the canteen catering food and to make sure she knows where and how to get her snacks during recess time.

I know that she is most happy because can see Daddy here with her on her first day of school. I hope she will enjoy her school days, just like I did during I was her age.

A Christmas Gift 25 Dec 2013

IMG_3939 He still have a little Christmas Gift for me after we have apart…

Every year, it is being in the family traditions that, he will buy something for every one of us as the Christmas presents during the festive seasons.

Especially both Issac and Annabelle, they really love when it is near Christmas, they know that definitely they will be having Christmas presents every time when they wake up and will find their presents under the Christmas tree.

This year, I know that he definitely will buy something as both kids Christmas presents but I really did not expect anything from him for me. Our relationship is different now. We are no longer husband and wife, but relationship is being parents for our children.

IMG_3941 After he drop by and pass the Christmas presents for both children, he gave me this – a big mug filled with Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

The other day, I saw him bought a pair of watches. I presume is his and hers Christmas presents, and is not for me. I felt sad and a bit disappointed. Any how, I have to accept the facts.

He said, “I am thinking of buying this mug for you. After you had the chocolates, at least this Santa Clause mug can be your coffee mug. I still know you are a coffee addict.” He smiled at me.

I just thanked him. All this is not important to me anymore, the most important to me is, he still remember our lovely children. I know both Issac and Annabelle love him and miss him very much…

5 Stones SS2 Day Out

IMG_3913 Due to Aunty Joyce is on leave on the Christmas holidays season, thus Mummy have to take care of both Issac and Annabelle. I brought both kids to work. Mei Ling too, bring her daughter come to work as well. The children were so happy of being together and play together.

These few days, Jessie kept on mentioning a condominium which she bought years ago, had been received the keys lately. She said the environment is really suitable for the family, and it was designed to promote more ‘inclusive’ experience, which the concept of it, offers a modern day village of your own, with features or facilitates that encourage interaction with the community that surrounds one living and shares life’s experience.

IMG_3903 The condominium she was mentioning about, is called Five Stones, which located at SS2. After lunch time, she drove us all together with the children to the condominium and shown to us the environment of the newly completed residence. We love the place very much as the greenery of the garden.

The Garden - so elegant in its simplicity - beckons you to come out from your apartment and stroll along the shaded canopy walk of Angsana trees, to sit and to chat. A black granite bridge connects one end of the garden to the other.

IMG_3904 The tranquillity and interactivity of an exquisitely designed garden by renowned landscape designer, Dr. Colin Okashimo, and the inspirational artworks by Britain's leading multimedia artist – David Hiscock – adorning the Porte coheres, lift lobbies and selected common areas.

David Hiscock is regarded as one of the 30 top photographers of the last 30 years, and has worked with Donna Karan, Sir Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Harvey Nichols, Hyatt Hotels and Nike.

As night falls, the garden comes aglow with imaginative lighting themes that create a magical ambience. Pockets of illumination by the outdoor park lamps light up the meditative benches. The same granite bridge now cuts across the garden like a ray of light.

IMG_3924 Near the Villa towers, suspended 'moon' lights cast soft shadows over the "Found Stones", whereas at the far corner of the garden, simulated 'campfire' lighting surrounds the "River Stones" sculptures, inviting children and adults alike to gather around.

Located at the edge of Five Stones, at an area designated as the "active" zone, lies The Clubhouse. At the top-most level, a 14-table multi-function hall extends to the terraces, allowing the host and guests alike to take in a spectacular view of the tree-lined riverside promenade. Below it, lies a haven for fitness enthusiasts - where a dynamic gym, basketball court and two badminton courts breathe energy into the tranquil environment.

Beloved Cream of Mushroom 20 Dec 2013

Having dinner at Nando’s USJ Taipan. Besides the chicken, I ordered a mushroom soup. Both children really like mushroom soup.

What made the Nando’s so special to them, is that the soup comes with a huge palm size garlic bread, that made both happiest kids in the world!

Annabelle said, “Mummy, the bread is so tasty together with the mushroom soup! it is yummy! I love it!”

Happy to see that both love it so much!
