First run event

My hubby has been a running enthusiastic since he participated in a trail running event organised by Salomon last year, Since then his interest in running has been growing much deeper and the passion of running makes him a very much happy person.
With his passion of running, he has been participating in many trail running as well as marathon competitions. Almost every weekend he will participate in one or two competitions. His objective of participating in those competitions was not to win the title or achieve any podium but to satisfy his running passion.
I followed him once to one of his competitions and I can feel myself the excitement and great satisfaction when he completed his run. It was indeed very fascinating.
There will be a grand marathon event soon in August. It's the yearly Standard Chartered KL Marathon 2016. This event is not only having the half and full marathon competition but they are organising other running events such as family fun run as well as charity run.
Hubby suggested we participate as a family event and yes...we registered. My husband will be running his first full marathon in this event while me and the children will be participating in the family fun run 3km and 5km. We are so looking forward to this event. I am sure this will be our first and many more running event together.

 

Do stay tuned for the update of this event.

My new beautiful kitchenware

Last weekend we went to NU Sentral for the second time. Our first visit there was to check out the MPH warehouse sales during last year December school holiday. This second visit was for hubby to collect his running pack. Me and the children followed him to check out the place if there's anything new since our last visit. The mall is really huge but there's nothing much that interest us though.
While hubby is queuing to collect his running pack, I brought the children to window shopping. Look what I found at Parkson....

I fell in love with them when I first saw them and when I found out the price after discount was reasonable, I quickly grab four sets. The plates and bowls are sold separately. The plate cost about RM7++ and the bowl cost about RM5++. It was a really good buy moreover they are made in Japan.

 

After getting these, I went on to check out the other cooking wares and look what I found on good deal again... Roichen 26 inches frying pan ! I can't resist getting one since it's so cheap.

These are really good buy.... my happy day !

Very busy Saturday (160416)

Last Saturday, both my children has school activities. We were out of the house by 6:00pm. After dropping my girl, we send our boy to his school. We only need to fetch both of them late afternoon so me and hubby can have our "pak toh" time...
We went to "Yut Kee" restaurant for breakfast. This is a traditional kopitiam serving authentic breakfast such as roti bakar with kaya, butter and soft boiled eggs.

Besides the yummy authentic breakfast, this restaurant also serves very yummy fried mee sua. This dish is one of my favourite noodle dish. The mee sua texture is cooked just right, not too hard nor too soft. Mee sua is a type of noodle that is very difficult to cook. So sorry forgot to take pictures of the dish...was too tempted to eat once it's served :D but I took the pic of the chilies....yum yum

After breakfast, we went home, rested for an hour and off to Pavillion cause hubby wanted to check out some gadgets. We spent around 3 hours there window shopping. We went to pick up my girl from her friend's home around 3:30pm and reach home almost 4:00pm. Hubby had a running event at Putrajaya which flag off at 8:00pm. My son school only dismiss at 5:00pm. We planned to have dinner outside before heading to Putrajaya but don't think we could make it on time. So we decided to cook spaghetti for dinner. Boy, it was a rushed out dinner. Once reached home after fetching my girl, I quickly put the spaghetti to boil and started preparing all the ingredients for the sauce.
As hubby had to attend a running event, he took a nap while I was preparing dinner but before I start cooking, I have to fetch my son from school. There I go rushing out to fetch my boy before 5:00pm.
The traffic was terrible, I only managed to reach home at 6:00pm. That means I only have half an hour to cook and eat.......arghhhh!!!!

When I was about to start cooking, I noticed I did not have the spaghetti ready made tomato sauce....oh dear....what am I going to do ????? Well, I have no time to go out and get the sauce so I decided to fry the spaghetti. And our dinner turned from spaghetti Bolognese to Aglio Olio.... :D

Do you like my beautiful serving plates? I bought them from Parkson. They were having WOW Sales last week and I found these beautiful plates made in Japan for a very low price. Will blog about them in the next post.

Didn't have time to clean, the kitchen was left in a mess when me and hubby went our way to Putrajaya for the event. After the event, reach home around 12midnight....didn't get to sleep right away but clean up the kitchen....
