Do you think we haven’t exposed our kids much to the outside world?
This was the conversation we had earlier…
Me: Dad and I are thinking of going out for dinner on our wedding anniversary and guess what? We are not taking you guys out with us, just the 2 of us at dinner.
Miss 11: That’s not nice, leaving us behind. Why can’t we go along?
Miss 7: Yeah, where are we going to stay?
Me: At home lah and we’ll get a babysitter for you guys.
Miss 7: How come we can’t go with you. You normally take us along. What’s an anniversary anyway?
Me: It’s to celebrate our wedding, that’s why we want to go out.
Miss 7: But you two are married already, why do you need to celebrate?
Me: It is nice sometimes to celebrate the fact that we’ve been married so long (and I sambung dalam hati “and still sane and haven’t annoyed the hell out of each other yet”).
Miss 7: Will you cook dinner for us first before you go out? How long will you be out for? What if the babysitter is not nice?
Adehhh deh deh…….
Nampak sgt2 kan yang we don’t go out for romantic dinners/outings at night time often because obviously the thought of being left at home with a babysitter scares Miss 7 so much. All these questions! Macam nak pergi bercuti 3 minggu without them aje!
If jadi lah hajat we all nak pergi dinner for our anniversary, this will be the first time ever we employ a babysitter for the night. Previously, we’ve just sent them to friends’ houses when we had to go out at night without them (boleh bilang on 1 hand aje pun).
I guess Miss 7 sejak lahir sampai sekarang tak pernah ada babysitter, tak pernah kena gi nursery so the babysitter concept is very alien and strange to her. She’s finding it a bit intimidating kot having to stay at home without her Mum or Dad.
But, we only want to go out for a few hours on our 15th wedding anniversary. 15 is a big deal kids! hehehe…..
Like my Mak said about Miss 7, “Walaupun bila tengok badan dia, ingat dah besar. Tapi sebenarnya, she’s still a kid at heart. Orang lupa kadang2 yang dia kecik lagi.”
The Other Half said, “Maybe we can just have a nice dinner at home.”
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t want presents, I only want to have a nice QUIET PEACEFUL dinner together without me having to cook them, hehehe….
Ini gambar our dinners last nite and malam ni (the ones that I cooked 
Sausages and instant roast potatoes with grilled asparagus and zucchini.
Mee goreng sempoi.
Psst…tangan kat bean counter tu dah bertambah 1 lagi tengah hari tadi, yipppeeeee…. seronok sungguh 
I memang bercadang nak buat giveaway bila beancounter tu mencecah 1 mil mark but sampai sekarang still tak tau lagi what’s the best way to do it.

Salam Jumaat.
Happy Anniversary 15th. Wow! 15 tahun tu memang suatu jangkamasa lama dan sungguh bermakna tu.
Well, patut juga keluar meraikan berdua, dlm suasana berbeza, dan keadaan yang aman dan menjadi kenangan.
I think, anak-anak akan faham bila diterangkan.
Teruskan niat...
Kak Azie,
Salam Jumaat. 12 hari lagi anniversary we all tapi kena fikir dr sekarang klu nak cari babysitter ni.
Diaorang pun dah besar so mmng dah boleh sgt2 kena tinggal dgn babysitter kan, so dpt lah we all keluar bercanda berdua, hehehe
I baru sekali je tinggalkan anak2 gi dating memalam ke company's dinner 3 tahun yg lepas. Tu pun tinggalkan anak2 kat rumah sendiri ngan hb nye mak sedara. Sebelum pegi keluar makan, siap2 diaorg dulu. Nasib baik gak diaorg tak nangis sbb dah biasa ngan nenek sedara tu. Lepas dari tu tak pernah lagi. Ada gak mcm u ckp nak keluar romantic dinner, tp tak dpt permission dari diaorg berdua. Ingatkan dah tua2 ni tak yah lagi nak mintak permission nak jalan malam2. I beriye2 beli baju dinner, berangan nak candle light dinner. Mcm ni kenalah bagi upah n bribe kat anak2 ni.
wow! 15 tahun dah ye!
memang harus celebrate berdua duaan tu :-)
sian pulak kat miss 7 bila dengar macam2 soklan dia tanya u tu hihi..anyway happy anniversary to you
Ololololo miss 7 ni. Still remember dia beriya cite pasal her pet(cricket)hari tu. Comel je :p
"but you two are married already, why do you need to celebrate?"
tak boleh tahan dengar soalan tu, kahkahkahkah!
you're right, 15 years is a big deal!
Nora,
Agaknya kan diaorang ingat syiok sgt2 lah keluar dinner berdua2an tu, tu yg diaorang pun nak join jugak so diaorang pun dpt join the fun :-).
I thought bila dah makin besar, makin senang lah kan nak keluar, rupanya makin bnyk soalan lagi adalah :-)
Zarin,
tu yang nak keluar dinner somewhere fancy. Tapi kena interrogate beria dgn anak2 sebelum diaorang bagi 'kebenaran' pergi dating, hehehe.
Anis,
Zahra tu memang sometimes pelik sikit, probably sbb youngest kot so manja lah sikit dgn I :-)
Dinas,
Hahahaha...the fact that we haven't killed each other after 15 years together is a good enough reason to celebrate kan :-)
15. lame tue, hopefully jadi lah kan, bila dh ade anak, sometimes kene ade mase berdua juge :D :D eceh mcm lah i ade anak :p
Nadia,
tu lah kan, 15 is a magic number ;-). Selalunya we all berdating during day time when both ada free time and the kids at school. So bila nak keluar berdua malam2, tu yg the kids terkejut kot, hehehe
i think i know the feeling, being The Cook in the family, kadang2 nak lah makan sedap2 yang orang lain masak kan
yup, 15 years is a big deal, happy anniversary! :)
