Weekend with the family!

Its 4:40am.. we just got home fm Mustaffa Center.. I had wanted to do a wordless entry but nayyy .. no matter how late it is now.. i hv to type something... right?? hehe

These few rounds the only way for hb and i to go on a date is when sonia is fast asleep and hairi is back fm his outing.. we usually will end up going to MC since its a 24hrs thingy.. its perfectly fine by us as long as we get to go out as a couple ahemm

Early today hb took us to Ikea and also to the Mayer sale.. yep.. they are having sale again and guess what i got for myself?? a new scraper blade for my KA.. i broke mine a few months ago and since they are slashing the price to S$63.. i thought why not ey.. I had also wanted to get the glass mixer bowl but was put off when the sales person told me that there is no discounted price on that.. yikes! and oh i also bought myself a new pressure cooker.. original price is S$369 and they were going for $69! worth buying!

The Kitchen Aid mixer however is going for S$659 (white, green, yellow and cream) so to those that are looking for a new mixer why not go there later.. sale ends at 6pm on 21st Aug.. here the details ok..

So ok.. enough abt the mayer sale.. Mom called all of us to go to her place for iftar.. i didnt hv much time on hand since we had planned to go to this mayer sale.. i decided to whip up coconut blossom since its one of the hot favs among the kids.... and also the adults and since i was in a hurry i decided to use the big fire to steam my coconut blossom and this is what i got.. an open aka mekar steamed coconut blossom hahaha.. the blossoms were gone even bef everyone called it a night!
