Only $12!!!

This gadget saved my life! I'm on the roll in making ice cream on a cheat sheet. There are Halal ice creams in Victoria but i want to have my own flvours and chunky Oreo bits in it. So far i have tried Oreo, Blackberry, Fudge and in the freezer now is passionfruit. Don't know how it'll turn out as the texture of the syrup was not as i had expected. 

I didn't have the luxury of a mixer when i came to Melbourne. Sooo.... I had been using a hand whisk to turn the cream from liquid to creamy texture. Imagine the muscles i have now...

Didn't want to have Jojo Sinclair's arms, I went to Target and stumbled upon this life buoy! For only $12! You'd think i buy it??? Of Course! Saved the hassle in my merry ice cream making...

Target sells cheap gadgets. Of course they have the high end ones but the cheap ones work well enough. So far i got 3 of Target's gadget - waffle maker, ice cream maker and the hand mixer... all under $20 each ehheheeheehhe

Altona Beach surprise

We missed Noor Dean and Hadi. We planned a beach outing with them. Hadi has been more friendly and less cries when he is with us. Maybe he got used to us being around... ehehehheheehhehe but he is still clingy to his Ummi.

Dropped by their place before heading to Altona. Mistake was, we didn't check the tides. It was low tide when we arrived. Bu anther surprise was waiting for us. ALhamdulillah we got mussels from the low tide! We got a whole lot of 100 mussels from there. Picked like i have never picked mussels before... hahahahahhahah Jakon!

The gems are beneath the bed of seaweed... yums!

Beach freaks!

I love Williamstown beach... there are waves for body boarding! Like as if i can swim hehehehehe but i can float! Gorgeous sea and clean beach. :)

To date it has been twice that we have been to Williamstown. The beach closest beach from our place. About 40 mins ride. But on both occasions, i just sat on the mat enjoying looking at the people around me. The temperature in Melbourne can be erratic. When we went it was a hot 36 degrees celcius. Then moment they stepped into the water, the temperature dropped to slightly above 20 degrees celcius with wind. Sejuk giler..! (crazy cold in english!)

The beach

The forgotten baby

I like the fact that my babies are year end babies... but i feel sad too especially for Riyan since it is and will always be the holidays when it is his birthday. No friends will actually remember his birthday... but don't worry baby, i'll always remember your day, InsyaAllah...  :)

This year i made a birthday cake for him. With M&M decorations that teared as soon as i took it out of the fridge... hehehhehehehe

The last goodbyes...

It had been a fulfilling 38 years where SG witnessed my cries, laughter and angst. Exactly on my 39th birthday, i left SG and might only return 2 years later... Appreciate all the send off, both at home and at the airport. Made me feel looooooooved. 

InsyaAllah, we would do well wherever we are. We are where we are meant to be. 
La tahzan, Innallaha ma a' na.
