3 day weekend_1

The first of 3 day weekend (11-13 Dec) was quite packed with fun activities. Friday was a state holiday for Selangor (B'day Sultan Selangor) so i managed to complete 'to do' list for the children's birthday party next Wednesday....
Day 1
10.45am Went to Pustaka Rakyat at Seksyen 7 to buy stuffs for prizes & crafts. They liked the stationery store and i liked it too. Managed to find playing cards at RM1 and interesting short ruler at RM1.80 as goodie bag gifts.
11.30am Irdina said she's hungry. Oh dear! I didn't noticed it was near lunch time! So we made a quick trip to Kedai 1.99 and Yummie Bakery before we went back to have lunch. Oppsss, we need to order the cake first, kids.....
12.30pm Went to Segar Bakery at Sek 4 tambahan to order the birthday cake. The first time i put some thoughts on the design. The kids chose edible images (I chose Upin & Ipin for Kasyif) and ask questions regarding type of cake and costs. Do you know that there is a butter cake/butter cream, butter cake/fresh cream, you can mix 2 flavour in one cake, have them layered like kek lapis, and add RM2 if you want a square cake rather than round? A 3 tiered cake starts from RM200 because for a normal 3 tier: 3kg, 2kg & 1kg, each kg costs roughly about RM30++ and that doesn't include the deco yet. OK, so we decided on a rectangle chocolate/vanilla with 3 different edible images on a 2kg cake. Hmmm, can't wait to see the outcome!
1.30pm Since Irdina was pressing me to go bowling, i planned to go to Alamanda to do some food shopping for the birthday and play bowling. I asked the kids to have lunch first and take a nap before we go. They didn't have their naps though....
3.30pm Reached Alamanda and went straight to bowling centre. All lanes were occupied due to tournaments and only available around 11pm....OK, bowling cancelled and so let's do the shopping. Dropped by the amusement centre opposite bowling and indoor playground next to Parkson Grand to ease the children's dissapointment.
4.45pm Started shopping. Decided on raisins, double decker, London Choco roll and 2 other junk foods...all x2 packages. Crab flavoured ball, mini sausages and another balls, chicken wings. Cancelled on drink cartons, the brown bag could not handle the weight.
5.50pm Reached home to cook chicken soup for hubby.....And this was Day 1....

Day 2
Hubby was not around in the morning. I finished up some craft projects for the party.
1.30pm Hubby came home from work at UiTM. Decided to go to Mines since Irdina pressed him to go bowling. He suggested Mines boat trip after bowling.
3.00pm Left home for Mines.
3.30pm Went straight to bowling centre. Saw Crocs SALE banner on the way. I had to resist myself....(kids first, kids first...)....Alley not available so put name on waiting list (maybe availabe around  5.00pm... Woohoo! Crocs Sale, here i come (luckily the venue was near to bowling centre)
4.45pm Kasyif was restless and so we went out before i could find a pair for myself. I did buy one for Kasyif.

4.50pm Played bowling

6.15pm Went for Mines boat trip (South Lake). Couldn't recall the exact price but it was quite pricey to me (considering the plain views offered). Maybe Adult RM20 Children RM15...

6.40pm  Hubby + Irdina + Jasmin went to the 'animal park' since it came free with the boat trip. I didn't go since Kasyif was asleep. So decided to go up to Level 5 for the Crocs Sale again....Unfortunately it closed at 6pm... Maybe i was not meant to be wearing Crocs...sob sob.......

8.00pm Left Mines and asked hubby to drop by Minlon to survey for sofas. Found an attractive set at a whopping RM5,400 before discount of 30%. The distinguished feature is the sofa has curved arm rest. The drawback is the colour and the metal legs. If i want to change the fabric (to purplish) and only take the 3 and 2 seater, the guy qouted me RM4,400. How come? RM5,400 (for 3+2+1) at 70% is only RM3,780...that means change of fabric would cost me extra but the guy didn't highlight me.... Luckily i was only surveying....

End of Day 2

Day 3

I went for a fancy cookies decorating class at Seksyen 7. Found Loveliana website here. Only 2 participants including me. Paid for RM150....ok for beginners like me as all were hands on. It could be costly to some since all you do is simple cookie baking and simple decorating. As for me, the opportunity couldn't come at a better time since i'm thinking of making some as goodie giveaways for the coming kids' party. To order would cost me 20 cookies x RM3 =RM60. Paying RM150 would need me to bake about 3 times to break even with RM60. Later i'll calculate the actual cost to make 20 cookies.

The other participant, Marina from Ampang. Nice girl.....

The result of my work.

The kids followed me and excited watching the cakes & cookies.
