a blast it was...

yesterday nite i celebrated incek suami's birthday at this place called kokopelli travellers bistro, situated somewhere in section 14/46, pj. it was a surprise birthday dinner i planned few days earlier despite my hectic schedule (shooting the diva again for 2 straight days, sampai malam pulak tu and another shoot, for products only, pon sampai malam.. really tiring!) with sis#3. at first i wanted to make it a small gathering, you know just the usual suspect, the son, the mom and the sis.. but suddenly i got this idea, to invite mrmanager along since berx sendiri pon tak jumpa mrmanager since konsert #7 af7 (berx was there alone for 3 consecutive weeks, mrmanager kena buat his main job, managing his artists that is.. but actually they met during erra fazira's daughter's cukur jambul last saturday, mrmanager sendiri yang invite berx to shoot lil engku aleesya)

so, i messaged him in fb (dah terpikir that maybe he can't make it.. artiste manager.. busy maa...) and to my honour, he accepted it! haha.. when it comes to thing like this, i memang cepat nervous! i don't usually into this kinda nak gila glamour ke apa ke, but thinking that i really wanted to meet him personally, some more berx pon dah kenal dia, so i give it a go.

and so, when yesterday came, i told b that i wanted to treat him dinner, and only the 2 of us and of course, i'm such a good actor, he was thinking that we were really going to have dinner berdua saja (sampai cakap kesiann zaes sebab dia takde..). and the best part was, i never been to this place and we ended up sesat barat and dah ke mana2 tah sampai i have to call my cousin (miya & jai joined the dinner too! er.. to other family members, esp my 2 elder sisters, nieces and bro-in-law jangan la kecik hati ok. nanti i shall organise another one at the same place...) and asked for directions! b was furious mad - "apsal susah sangat nak pegi tempat ni? why cant we eat somewhere else? yadda yadaa.." - but, again, being a good actor i am, try to be patient and looked for the place sampai jumpa! and yang paling kelakar tu, tempat tu is like a familiar place and i don't know why i lost my way there.. (read: tak reti baca map laaa i ni..)

dengan muka yang lapar, we went inside the place, i've reserved the private room beforehand, just enough for the 9+1 of us, and bila masuk into the room (siap tutup lampu lagi), i saw the usual suspects dah ready with desert as a birthday cake. berx was blurred when they shouted "surprise!!!" and hell yeah he was very surprised to see the usual suspects. especially zaes laa.. his beloved son. oh, at this time around, mrmanager blom sampai lagi sebab dia pon sesat barat! sorry! my bad!

berx was grinning ear-to-ear sebab dia memang betul2 surprised. then, while waiting for the food to be served (oh! food was fabulous and the place, the waiters/waitresses and even the owner were superb!) mrmanager stepped in. clad in a white jm (i believed it's jovian mandagie la kot) diamantes (or was it swarovski crystals?) studded top (very bling-bling ok) and khaki coloured pants, with his signature gucci bag on his other hand, he smiled and greeted us. again, i shouted "surprise!!" and berx had this eh..-oh..-mrmanager-is-here-to-makan-here-issit? look at his face. yup. again, he didnt expect mrmanager to joined us. and no i didn't forget, sweet nikki (yes nikki the singer)and mrmanager's best buddy, ismail were there too to celebrate berx' birthday! yay! (and suddenly i became all bubbly and nervous and what not to see them around.. live! haha..)

and so they say, the rest is history.. we had great fun, we ate, we talked, we discussed (can you believe it, i gave breastfeeding tips to mrmanager for some reason.. heh adala..) and nikki had real food! steak! yay! (poor nikki, she was early but at the wrong place, some more kena jalan far from where she parked her car..) and oh! she was totally different from what you'd normally see her on tv or internet, minus the makeup, she looked glowing and small.. like yeah.. really small and very sweet-demure-girl-next-door looking... she's getting married kan, can't hide the happiness eh? (dahla aku selamba je cakap dia 25 when she's 24.. heh sorry!)

aiyah.. so much to tell, so little time. gotta stop now. and i'll let the pic tell the story la ok!
and for those who didnt know, mrmanager dah tutup his mrmanager's blog and open a new one called v. please update your link if you haven't do so.. i know i haven't.. muahahahaaa..

and once again, terima kasih to those who joined! ah.. such great place to dine-in also. i recommend you to go there, fusion of local and western. 100% halal and tak jual liquor jugak. price wise, affordable. they also open for lunch and once again it's kokopelli travellers bistro, situated at #4, jalan ss14/46, section 14, pj.

i love you all!

lil darth vader...

haha. takdela darth vader sangat pon...

last wednesday, i brought lil zaes to his paed sbb he was having flu & coughing endlessly, 2 or 3 days before that. so much so, he was diagnosed to have mild bronchitis due to the thick phlegm and hingus (mucus) yang dah masuk his lungs. alahai... but since the paed said it's not that serious but as a precaution before a longing asthmatic problem occurs, she prescribed him with few medicines & a nose drop. and told me to bring him back to the hospital if the phlegm stays.

hmm.. indeed.

so, yesterday, i brought him back to her and she put him on nebuliser, dengan harapan to soften the phlegm. one on the spot, another one later that night and tonite; and the last one will be tomorrow nite... ~sigh~ before this, my 2 nieces pon penah pakai nebuliser. my cousins.. ada la few of them.. tulaa.. it runs in the family and it won't stop i guess..

masa pakai nebuliser tu, the 1st time, zaes was restless. bukan sakit pon, kena sedut the gas je kan.. and the smell of the gas pon not that awful. he was like that cuz he just tak suka kita pegang dia kuat2, tak bagi dia move langsung. i tell you, even his daddy yang besar dari dia pon almost give up la jugak.. ni kan pulak gua yang lite-lite nih.. the strength of a lil rascal.. macam tu la kan.. so.. the first time tu, he was crying the whole 5 minutes of seduting the gas! kesian betol! tak sempat nak amik gambar sbb at that time my phone was not with me.

for the 2nd time, dia macam ok sket la. itupon, i was trying my best to hold him close. the nurse tu siap bedung dia with the hospital's blanket. b & i were singing the abc la, the carpenter's close to you la, jack johnson's banana pancakes la.. he was enjoying it (siap menguap lagi tu..) but being zaes he is, tak sampai 5 minit dah boring and he started to cry. but not for long and this time i managed to asked b to take some piccies..

mommey: ok sayang. don't cry yah.
zaes: will try mommey..

mommey: (started to sing) why do birds..
zaes: mana bird mommey..?

zaes: how do i look daddy? terrible eh?

zaes: dah ke mommey?
mommey: not yet sayang..

zaes: bila mommey nak habis nyanyi nih?

zaes started to fell asleep but his mouth still open...

but not long after that, at this point,
he immediately opened his eyes and...


... started to cried!

zaes: nak baju koboi! nak baju koboi!

ow well.. another 2 more nites to go.. hopefully he'd feel better after these treatments.

phlegm, phlegm, go away..

and oh! i can't wait to take a look at the new red she said holiday collection by m.a.c! m.a.c has launched the collection late last month in the US. yesterday, they were officially launched rite here @m.a.c klcc. read more (and see some pix) @mrmanagerdotblogspotdotcom.
