Happy Anniversary!!!

Happy Anniversary my loving husband. It has been 4 years since we were united and I hope it goes on for many many many more.

Love you dearly.

Busy Busy Busy

It has been a really long time since I have posted, but I hope to get all in order soon .
So much has happened since last post, lots of birthdays including mine. Holidays came and went, pics have now gotten old and have been deleted. But I am sure I salvaged some memories.
Work has been hectic since hubs has been writing exams and I was helping him out with workload as well.

Its just been Crazy!


Well things are settling out now that December is on its way. Hope I get down to posting again soon.

Visitors

Early this morning hubby and I had a nice surprise, we had the cutest visitors.

Arent they adorable.

Unfortunately I missed a beautiful pic when the baby was drinking from his mum. It was so adorable.

As you can see the little one is staring at us, he did so for a while before paying attention to mum.

Gone Back To China!

Well the day eventually came when my cousins had to go back to China. Weekend was a pretty emotional one especially for all the mums and dads.
No matter how hard we try to savor moments with them, it rushes past us even faster.
Going to miss you all sooooooooooo much.

All the best in your exams!!!! We so proud.

Start to a healthy diet!

So the entire family has finally agreed that a little green in the diet can't be that bad since its meant to be extremely good. Heres to a perfect start! Three platters were made exactly like this and it was cleaned up perfectly.

 Looks yummy doesn't it. It had the following;
Lettuce, cucumber, beetroot, olives, pineapple, carrot, olives, all coloured peppers and gerkins.

Tasty treat!

This weekend we were out to durban but unfortunately I hadnt the time to take out more pics.

This is a little snap of the treat my husband gave me at MUG & BEAN. Lol.

Looks yummy doesn't it?! It was!!!!!

Can't wait for another day out!!!! Next time Waffles!

Kids are growing fast!

Look how big these two have gone since the last pics I had taken of them.

Really missing them now. They a handful but when they not around it gets toooooooo quiet.

Love you my munchkins.

Just to make a note, we were short on candles , its actually Sabi's twentieth birthday. lol.

EID

Yesterday was a beautiful day. We had the entire family come for eid. It started early at 4am with preperations.
We had dry chicken for breakfast with puri. Lunch was Chicken Biryani, mums famous dish. Supper was Mutton Khalia, Aunt Zohra's Dry Chicken and Aunt Laila Chicken dish. We had it with loads of salad, bread and naan (fennel bread). Delicious.

Wish I had taken some pics to show something of such a lovely day but I was really having a lazy happy day. lol.

Not to forget, the loads of biscuits we all made in the week. I might still have a decent tray in place, hopefully I will post soon. lol.Also, also, also, how can I forget the amounts of cakes and desserts.
Let just say there was chocolate mousse and chocolate eclairs in one trifle. Thinking about it gives me  another cavity ache.

Well hopefully some of my cousins took some snaps which I will post soon. lol.

After 16 years - SNOW

It has been 16 years since we had such heavy snowfall. It really was a beautiful sight.

 Hubby couldnt help but get into the snow. How cute. lol.

 Cant even see the bergs so well, plasted with the white powder.

 Beautifully icy sight of our small town.

It snowed on the 7th and 8th August 2012. Sorry for late blog.

Icy Winter

Well winter is here to stay. Its been terribly cold and when you think some warm days are looming , the gust of icy wind blows it away.

My cousins from china are back and we are really happy once again. I do not have any pics, would you believe how terribly busy its been for me this year.

I have not been blogging as often but alot has happened. Some good , some bad but the hour glass waits for no man.

On a bad note, at the beginning of June hubs and I met in a terrible accident, with my in laws. It was horrific, drunk driver came head on to us while we were driving over a bridge in Johannesburg. It was 8pm and we were coming from my sister in laws flat in Pretoria. No major injuries, just we all had to be in bed for two weeks. REALLY SORE just thinking about it.

I have a few snaps of my face but I will never be bold enough to post. Hubs came out with small bump and scratch on hand, amnesia was to follow. Unfortunately I was the only one that remembered what happened. Still a bit shaky when we pass that road.

As usual duty calls and I have to leave now , blog longer next time.

MAD BUDDIES

Brilliant, Awesome and outright funny.

Leon does it again, he really thought of another brilliant story to make all South Africans come together for a good laugh.

Situated in South Africa , this movie really shows some great scenes and the locals.

A definate must watch but definate parental guidance.

I rate this movie = 9/10.

BASIC TRUTH - Leon is just brilliant.

MADAGASCAR 3

Great, Awesome, totally funny and enjoyed by entire family.

I give this movie 8/10.

Humor as always was really good and the animation was really terrific. I applaud the graphics and 3D really makes it even better.

Each character was equally funny and joyful. I loved the music and ofcos the creativity to the story.

A definate must watch for the entire family.

Keeping up!

Ok, so its been really stressfull lately. Alot has been going on. There has been many birthdays and would you believe no photos!
So tomorrow is my hubs birthday and I am hoping to get at least one photo into the blog.
Well, one thing is for sure, he is going to have a painfull birthday. Today he has had 3 route canals done in his teeth and his numb for now. He had to have it done , next week he will be going for a small operation getting a cyst out of his jaw. The poor thing is really going through a tough time.

I hope to make his day tomorrow somewhat less sore. lol.

MEN IN BLACK III

GREAT , AWESOME, DEFINATE MUST WATCH!!!

Well, if you all watched the first two and enjoyed them, you can count on this one to be as good.

Only downfall, not much of Tommy lee in this movie.

But as usual, Will Smith out did himself. He is a superb actor and a downright brilliant comedian.
I could never sit still when he is around.

All in all, I give this movie = 9/10

Enjoy.

Sorry out of touch for a while!

Sorry out of touch for a while!

My Aunts Birthday

Yesterday was a public holiday, Human Rights Day, as well as my aunt Zohra's birthday. We really had a nice time yesterday. But we also missed my cousins in China. Its times like these we tend to feel their absence even more.

Heres a few snaps of my aunt.

 Sorry the lighting was pretty bad.

Shameez is first in line for cake, lol.

JOHN CARTER

Now this movie was good. LONG but good.

Its a very gripping movie to watch with your family. It is a bit intense for kids but hell of a lot of fun for the adult kideos.

It has Action, Thriller, Suspence and a sprinkle of Romance.

Whats interesting about this is the amount of imagination in each scene. Every scene was good.

THE ACTION!!!!! WOW.

I mean , it did look fake. But I must say it was GREATLY FAKED. Some parts really gripped me to my seat.

So basically , this is a must see!

I rate it 8/10 so thumbs up.

My Aunt brought another bundle of joy!

It's so heartwarming just to remember those little fingers and toes as I sit here right now. My Aunt Afsana , mums smallest sister of 39years just brought a new member to the family on 20 February 2012.
We only got to see him yesterday, he was so cute. This little boy really had a tough journey, he was born 1.4kg but as at yesterday , he is now 2.1kg. Slowly but surely bringing it up. lol.
Heres a few pics.

The first pic is to show how small this angel is.

GHOST RIDER 2 - Movie



Movie Review

I must honestly say that I felt slightly disappointed by the movie. Compared to the first hit, this movie really felt like a bummer!!!

The first movie was perfectly done, right down to the stunts. You enjoyed the first one because it felt like they took the time in making it look so real and heartstopping.

This second one was really too graphical. It felt like you were watching a cartoonist oozing his passion onto the screen. Sometimes its good but honestly it did not portray the initial idea of Ghost Rider.

Acting

Nicholas Cage gave his all, so I applaud him for that. The direction of this movie SUCKED, which could have made hime look bad but we know him better.

Other character played their role well enough but as I said with that type of direction , they should be applauded.

GHOST RIDER TALE

One thing that totally bugged me was the devil's character. I hated the fact that the director or writer or producer, whoever, decided to bring in a new character instead of just holding the sequel character like they should. They even went threw all the trouble of changing the initial storyline of the first movie scenes and made it look like some kind of sick joke.

People who did not watch the first one, should really watch it first, and they would see how stupid it was to change the entire concept of the movie.

But ofcos the thrill of watching Nicholas Cage blow up in flames was priceless. lol.

Ratings

I give this movie a 6-10. When you have nothing to do , watch this movie.



SAFE HOUSE - The movie



Awesome, Spectacular and damn right Good! This is just some of the words that came out of the cinema as I walked out.

My impression= Well what can I say to describe a movie like this?!

It was a good movie, really gripping storyline. Keeps you wondering and makes you jump a few times with the effects.

Downside= Movie was based in Cape Town, South Africa, my country. So I can say for a fact that it did not do justice to the beauty of the country but I do applaud them in going to places that most of us would not go in my own country. I am talking about the rural sectors where most of the people are too afraid of being mugged and killed. They pulled it off- WELL DONE!!!

Acting = Brilliant! Brilliant! Brilliant! Denzel and Ryan were too good. Denzel was ofcos on his peak performance but Ryan .......................................he showed us his true potential!!! He was awesome. His acting was unquestionably good and if he does not receive an award, the grammy's, oscar whatever is totally rigged!

Definate must see!!! I give thumbs up!



Happy Birthday Mum! Part two

More pics

 Aren't they adorable

 "A little for you, a little for me"

 Many say that we look alike, I don't know.

 Heres the ladies smiling for their kids. Especially my Aunt's as I sent this photo to China, to their babies on that side studing.

 Heres me and my cousins taking a snap with mum. Would you believe my cousin Sajida , which is the second on the left next to mum is only two days older than me. Yes, two days!

 I really look small in front of hubs. lol.

 Isn't this a cute sight.

This is my cousin I just mentioned above, this is her older son Zaahid, yes older, she has another 6months old and he was asleep, that angel. Wish to reach her someday. lol.

Hope you loved your birthday mum. Love you.
