Naufal's birthday celebrations

Assalamualaikum wbt

This year, Naufal had double birthday celebrations! The first one was in Putrajaya and the second one was at his Taska somewhere in June.

The one in Putrajaya was actually mommy's first attempt organizing Naufal's birthday party. Organizing a small scale birthday party at our new place in Putrajaya definitely required much thinking, time and energy! Unlike last year, we went for makan-makan at Restoran Upin & Ipin in Taman Melawati. This year, it was like killing two birds with a stone. We planned to have Naufal's birthday celebration in Putrajaya's house and at the same time to invite close friends and relatives for our house warming. 

Although we have all things so-called planned, booked, reserved and anticipated,  it was really exhausting when you have to be involved with all those pre-while-post celebrations. The best part of all was the hands on experience from preparing the birthday packs, and decorating and rearranging all the balloons and the scrumptious food. Nevertheless. the cleaning part was the least favourite moment! LOL! By the end of the day, everyone (especially the birthday boy) had great time. Alhamdulillah :-)

The theme for the birthday celebration : Minion (bananananananna..banaaanaaaaaaaaaa)

Thanks kak Leen for capturing the moment <3

The other birthday celebration held at Taska Iman Amani was the owner's first attempt organizing a mass birthday celebration for all kids who stay there. It's a wonderful opportunity for parents to get to know one another. Every child had to bring a cake and pay RM 10 for the celebrations. It started with du'a recitation followed by cutting cake session. There's also lucky draws, drawing competitions and best dressed award! Naufal wore his baju raya (without his samping on). Some  kids even had superhero costumes! We didn;t know who won the best dress award since we had to leave the place early (and Naufal started to get cranky) hahaha.

Dear Adam Naufal,

You are one of Allah's greatest gift for mommy and daddy.

You changed our world as soon as you entered in. Time flies so fast you have become a lot stronger and bigger. May you grow up to be a wise mujahid, InshaAllah.
Thank you for the wonderful first two years and we look forward for years to come.
My boy, 

You certainly bring out the best in us.

Love,
mommy.

 Assalamualaikum wbt

I'm on my way to achieve my childhood dream..

I always believe, it's never too late to chase a dream!
InshaAllah, semoga Allah permudahkan . Ameen

Last year during my birthday ( 11.12.130), I attended a personal bridal makeup class. Memang purposely pilih tarikh birthday sendiri sebab nak jadikan moment belajar itu lebih meaningful, boleh la kan??heheh
Thanks to my sister in law for her willingness to be my model.

Million thanks to my beloved husband for the never ending support and giving me the blessings  to pursue my dream. Alhamdulillah :-)

For my first official attempt using the products above (obviously not mine la),
check out Amal's before and after makeup...

Practice makes perfect kan? The more I practice , the better makeup artist I'll become
Frankly speaking, I'm really satisfied with the final look! (masuk bakul tekan lif sendiri boleh?? hahaha)

oh! for the looks above, no eyebrow was trimmed.
Memang nak belajar makeup sederhana yang semestinya tidak bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam.
Kalau boleh, my vision is to help muslimah bride to look the best on their big day! Ameen.


While I was busy doing my makeup practice on Amal's face, all in a sudden I heard a man's voice calling for my name...
It was a delivery man with this....

Thanks dear <3

Upin , Ipin & Naufal

Assalamualaikum wbt

Naufal is so into Upin & Ipin. He gets excited when he sees the images of Upin & Ipin. He stops playing with his toy when the Upin & Ipin series is on TV. He even shakes his head and moves his hand when  hears the Upin & Ipin's song too!! LOL!

Upin, Ipin & Naufal :-)

Tikar itu...mihmiihmih

Watching the series, like a bos bak kate Cu Amal hehehe

Because of that, mommy & daddy decided to bring Naufal to Upin & Ipin restaurant for his 1st birthday. At the moment we stepped into the restaurant, Naufal started to point his finger at every conspicuous Upin & Ipin pictures at the wall (note: the pictures are everywhere, of course!). Birthday boy was as happy as a lark and did not bother to eat his meal! As for the rest of us, we were glad that we have made the right decision to bring Naufal to that place. Most importantly, birthday boy kena la  happy kan?

At the Upin & Ipin restaurant, we had local Malay cuisines such as bihun, mee goreng mamak and ayam goreng. Seriously, I just rate them as average. Nothing special. Like I said before, this is Naufal's birthday celebration, yang penting dia yang kena happy hihihi..

No, the restaurant did not have this cuppy. I ordered this from Kak Farah's friend.

Cu Amal's gift, tq Cu Amal!!!

Daddy probably said, "Oh Naufal, duduk diam2 please" hahaha

Happy Birthday Adam Naufal!!!!

There are many super duper cute Upin & Upin stuffs/ souvenirs  at the restaurant. I felt like grabbing them all!! Luckily, I didn't ;p .We decided to get Naufal this cute little frame. 

comel kan?????? "betul, Betul betul", said Ipin :-)
