Fast Forward to 2019
As I was sitting down in my mom's living room while looking at Hanif Shukri, my firstborn, I got reminded of this space. I used to write about everything and anything back then. I got up, took out my Macbook and saw my last blog entry was in 2014. 5 YEARS AGO?! I realized that sooooo many things happened in a span of 5 years!
Firstly, I am now married for almost 4 years. We have our own house, but are still staying at my parents' for convenience sake (clingy last child syndrome heh). My firstborn is turning 3 in a few months time. Currently, I am expecting my second child.
Where did all the time go? When I started this blog, I was just a teenager but now I am a few months shy of turning THIRTY. Yes the big fat THREE ZERO. Let's save that for another day.
Hanif tires me a lot as he is always on the move! My movements are limited as I am a lot heavier now. Still thinking of how to get back to my pre-pregnancy size and weight. I did not manage to shed off my pregnancy weight since I gave birth to Hanif. I breastfed him fully for 2 years and oh boy, breastfeeding made me hungry all the time! I am planning to breastfeed again this time round and wondering how to lose weight while doing it. On another note, I am pretty excited but nervous for my second baby. Hopefully it will be a smooth labour, insya'Allah.. I'll start blogging again after I have delivered. Many of my friends were asking me about my gynaecologist, hospital charges and all that. I know it is hard to get information online. Will update you guys on that soon yeah? I'll end this post with a visual of my little family during Hanif Shukri's first birthday party!

Cupcake Monsters!
Besides watching movies and shopping, finding new eating spots and trying new food are things that we love to do. 2 weeks ago, we managed to get our hands on the oh so famous cupcakes from Fluff Bakery! Lessons were held in the afternoon so why not right? We reached the venue pretty early around 10ish. Our tummies were growling so we had brunch first at Hjh Maimunah Restaurant.
We had ayam lemak cili padi, lemak pucuk ubi, sambal goreng, rendang daging, kangkung belacan, siput sedut, telur goreng and sambal belacan of course! It started to rain so we took our own sweet time to savour the food while waiting for Fluff Bakery to open.
Hjh Maimunah Restaurant @ Jalan Pisang
11 & 15 Jalan Pisang Singapore 199078
Tel : 6297 4294
Opening Hours: 7am to 8pm
Open Daily except Sundays
We could easily look at the queue as the restaurant is located directly opposite the bakery. Around 11:40am, there were already 2 customers in the line. I guess the weather played a part. It was raining heavily so maybe no one bothered to get the cupcakes lol. We joined in the line soon after.
We were joking about getting our lucky number, which is 8, and to our disbelief we did get our lucky number!
Bought all 6 flavours! Personally I feel that what makes their cupcakes special is of course their innovative flavours. My favourite was salted caramel. It tasted like popcorns! The cupcakes felt a bit dry maybe due to humidity but all in all they were pretty yummy! I am following them on Instagram and they are always selling different flavours every week. Worth giving them a try!
