all done..well , most of it :)

okay...dah balik semula :) dah habis dah most of the paperwork. so stressful sehh..but alhamdullilah...most of it taken cared of already. if they want anything more..dunno if i can do anymore of it. anyway, sarina has started her piano lessons and she is really enjoying it and picking up real quick. today was her second lesson and tomorrow i am calling up a parent who is a violin teacher. so we'll see how this goes..apparently she wants to do the two things simultaneously...and sean said that it's okay..so we'll see if there is an opening. but more stuff about her in the upcoming entry..hehehe

sarina tengah masak nasi...syukur lah boleh harap anak dara i ni...we'll see how sarah will be when she is this age eh..hehehe

last weekend kiter pergi eudora..for a trial run. see, my friend ni lah, she was asking me if i can help her with some catering stuff. like they have this auction for donation drive kan...what happens is that, she wants to cater a four course dinner meal for 6 ppl and asked me if i would like to volunteer my time. i said sure..pikir punya pikir what sort of meal i would like to do, she suggested i do thai. at first i wanted to do a traditional english meal ..with beef pot pie or beef wellington and popovers and all that. but she said that, not many ppl have tasted home cooked asian food so, why not try thai..and so we did just that lah.

fresh springrolls with crab meat and rice vinegar dipping sauce with fried springroll and beef satay and ketupat..kuah dia takder pulak i amik..

first course is of course appertisers kan..so i made fresh springrolls, this one with the rice paper and dipping sauce is made of rice vinegar, sugar, cliced lada padi and fish sauce..yumms! fried spring roll and satay with ketupat nona.

tom yam..sarina said that this is her favourite soup of all time :)

second course, tom yam khung..well, that day lupa pulak nak beli udang..so kiter pakai chicken..but on the actual day we will use shrimp. the main course was rice with green chicken curry and stir fried veges with tofu and quails eggs. dessert jer that day i tak buat sebab i nyer tapioca pearls tak cukup...so will make it tomorrow and then will take pictures. sebad she will need it to put it up to entice ppl to bid for it. we're aimingfor at least $250.00. so we'll see how this will fare eh..hehe.

rice with green curry and mixed veges

before going to eudora, we spent the night in Hiawatha. spent the night at our friends place and i taught the son how to make simple chicken curry and stir fried veges..yang the simplest form lah. the girls of course had tons of fun. tido tak tido nak dekat midnite baru ngorok seme. the next morning after going to the storage unit to korek for some documents then we proceeded to eudora. masak2..then balik rumah..balik jer..stress sebab banyak keje nak kena buat..hehehe..

donuuuuttsssss! - homer simpson...hehe

tadi kan..ingat jugak..dah lama tak buat dessert. sebab nak kuruskan badan lah kan..well..kurus kemana..diet ke mana..hehe..stress nyer pasal i went back to drinking more green citrus tea and good thing lah..only that..not so much on the rice...but tadi petang, i buat donut MIL nyer cik sriberry :) dah lama tak buat kepinging pulak..so made it this afternoon and malam tadi apa lagi..lepas makan aiskrim..kiter bedal donuts..hahahaha...hancus i nyer diet...hahahahaa...oh and also this nexw few weekends travel plans kena put aside dulu..sebab budget sungguh lah ketat..hahahahaaha...

for some reason sarah only likes the donut holes..go figure!

gone fishing ...again :)

very busy with year end work. tax season and the works. will update once all is done, insyallah.

alhamdullilah :)...lega sikit rasa nyer...muahahaha..

sibuk betul minggu lepas..bukan nyer sibuk apa..sibuk di drebing2..we went to eudora and to hiawatha to get our records and stuff lah. memula, walaupun ada panik sikit...but sampai jer rumah kawan kat eudora...terasa jugaklah happy :) sabtu happy2..minggu pagi happy..then alih2 jer terus jadi tak happy...sebab sean lost his temper bertekak dengan his friend nyer wife..actually wife ni pun kawan nyer sean lah kan..hahha. pasal apa tau..pasal reflexology..wahh..sean nyer ngamuk terus keluar rumah and lahh..dah the kids and i tertinggal kat situ..lama jugak tau..dekat sejam lebih..lerrr...betul2 nyer unsangkerable betul lah.

dua beranak tengah main chess....losers!..hahahahahahaha...

well, this friend of ours, she is an extreme hypochondriac lah..every mth ada jer penyakit baru that she said she has..even doctor kata dia takder apa2..dia tak caya..so a bit mental jugaklah..but still a nice person. hub dia dah biasakan dengan her, so he tak layan lah sangat perangai the wife..but sean ni pulak...suka point out the flaws in her argument lah..i pulak mmg tak kuasa..kalau both of them get into it kan..gerry and i will duduk tepi and have our own little conversation..lagi bagus..ketawa2 pub yer..but entahlah..last week, sean i guess have had it..sib baik lah gerry tu tak kecik hati nyer orang..hahahhaha

hari ni kakak sungguhlah rajin...kemas rumah ..habis seme dia vacuum.

anyway, ada dua tiga kucing berlari nyer surprise jugak lah this week..or maybe dua jer..hehe.

balik jer semalam...wahh..got surprise number one..okaylah...i redha...

kakak tukang kemas..adik tukang nyerak...konon tu tengah tampal stamp..dapat sticker in the mail..hehe

then just now got surprise number two..alhamdullilah..lega rasa hati ni sikit. sean pun rasa lega..but perut dia buat hal..when he is in deep stress, his stomach pulak start meragam..so hopefully in the next few days..hilang lah rasa tak sedap tu. besok dia kata he has the auditor coming in at the prison..but no problem lah..but he said, still he would like it to get over and done with ..so hopefully all is well, insyallah. he said that all the higher ups kat prison is in a crabby mood due to the impending visit by the auditors lah.

rempah imported dari pandan :) me kasih..hehe

sean dengan sarina pulak in the mood to play chess. actually bagus jugaklah they play with one another sebab, both cannot play with me. sebab, kalau diorang kalah...they will not be happy. sean will throw a fit and sarina will cry..sebab both of them are sore losers...fuhh..banyak nyer sebab...hahahahahahahha.....yes both father and daughter are sore losers. main congkak dengan sarina..she asked me to play with her, of course lah kan i menang...after three games..wahhh..terus tak happy sehhh..then main chess dengan sean, well more like teaching her how to play better...after 4 games..seme kalah ( but can see the vast improvement) terus melalak..halamakkkkkkkk! so just now, i ajak sean main one game lah..dah lama tak main chess with anyone...dengan cepat nyer dia jawab..NO.

ni lah dia..sop kambing kansas..hahahhaha

anyway, niari ada belen daging yang i panggang, last week..so buat lah daging masak cili. then pikir since sean tak leh makan pedas and since it is so cold, i buat lah mutton soup. best makan sop time tengah sejuk2 ni. time makan tadi..teringat pulak kak chom nyer sop kambing yang power...wahhhhhhh...untung orang singapore :) tuari nengok kat tebisen..orang makan tulang kat golden mile...wahhhhhh...meleleh air liur ni...

daging goreng bercili :) best..

temperature wise kat sini has been in the negatives since last week and it will be the same for the whole of this week. right now it is at -6 celsius...the coldest so far that i know lah eh was -19 celsius on saturday night.

definitely a keeper nyer recipe :)

okaylah..i nak start buat beading balik...nak buat bracelet yang i dah buat but tak tau dah pergi...could have sworn that i brought it along with me...mana pulak dah pergi nyer..so have a good week ahead all.

it's snowing again :) and windy too

well, this morning when sarina had to leave for school it was still kinda dark. i looked up to the sky and wondered if it was bleak or that it might get lighter later..but nahhh...it was dark because of the oncoming snow.

look at the wind blowing the falling snow around...it was insane...good thing when sarina left it was not snowing yet..

bangun pagi, saw sean off to work..sarina to school..sarah was wide awake but i was still sleepy..so after doing what i needed to do..lay in bed and read a bit and fell back asleep...and saw that sarah was asleep too..bagus..that way i got my rest. takder 'mommy..mommy..i am hungry'..or you get this creepy feeling that someone is looking at you closely and when you open your eyes..there's this pair of eyes staring at you...hehe..coz that was what happened a lot of time..bukak mate jer..i will see her smiley face up close to my face and say..'hi mommy..i'm awake'...hahahhaha...

see how big the flakes are..it is still snowing outside :) when sarina came home..on her hood there were snow flakes..hehe cute :)

i feel much better now. thank you all. sean is also feeling much better too. sarina had a friend over today and i have to say, i like the girl. her name is mallory..lupa pulak nak amik gambar dia...and they played in the bedroom..main stunt2 lah...then they played shoot the hoop using rhe trash can in her room..gave them some cookies that i made yesterday, and they played and they played until her mom came to pick her up again. i told her that she can bring mallory again next wednesday if they have nothing to do. likewise, sarina can go over and play with her..they live not far from us..about 5 minutes walk gitu lah...just wished that the house is bigger..but insyallah..in future we will expand.

how can one small person creates this much mess..really...she did all that..and i only now realize after looking at the picture carefully..see that sprite can behind the wicker chair..itu can i suruh dia buang kat trash can and she said that she did..but what did she do...taruk kat belakang kerusi...haiiii..

today i made mee siam kicap. nengok kak za nyer mee kicap..wah..meleleh air liur i...so niari..i figured i can make it lah. seeing that for two straight days i have eaten rice. i found this recipe online, from resepi diana. and it was very good. nak nak when you perah limau just before eating :) i do not have any proper greens to add..so takder lah sayur..but kalu taruk taugeh and sawi..mmg best lagi :)

mee kicap pedas :)

last week i made tosey...dah lama tak makan ..ngidam pulak rasa nyer...hehe. so i made the instant one. i made the green and red coconut chutney and the sambar...best makan. dua keping jer dah kenyang sehhhh..but very satisfying. so no more ngidam tosey...masak lauk lemak lada padi on monday..i tak taruk daging..but use the chicken stock powder and i taruk baby bokchoy and tahu...taruk lada padi lelebih..pedas and masam so very the yummmsss! bilang kat leha that i takder mood nak makan..but habis dua mangkuk i bedal itu lauk with rice...hahahahhaa.

tosey..yumms!

anyway, hopefully, all will end well..and all will be well..insyallah..i know, i know..macam cryptic gitu..but so be it :)..hehehehe....have a good mid week all :)

*sigh*

i feel like going to sleep and not waking up....gonna hit the bottle now....my green tea with citrus plastic bottle lah..hehehe....sungguh takder mood langsung lah...

anyway, humairah..dah ada tenet kat rumah best kan :) so you buat blog so acik can baca okay.. suruh mak blog samalah..hahahahahahahaha....title acik and mak nyer blog will be not desperate housewives..but 'angry housewives'..hahahahha. ada sesaper yang nak joyen kiter nyer blog ni tak?

so many things to do..but so lazy lah...haha. baik baik ada mood terus habis..hilang terus mood nak jadi productive niari. ingat nak gi baring balik kat katil and nengok siling. kasi calm down sikit.

kak za...asal you tinggal jauh kat sana...kalau dekat..leh kiter gi jalan2...amik angin kat tepi pantai yang sejuk macam nak rak tu...leh pergi kat the small cafe that we went....minum hot tea and aper bende dia nyer dessert lah... *sigh*..sungguh boring.com lah..retail theraphy also cannot help me now...

sri agak kalau kiter pergi beli mas paun tu can make me happy tak eh?..hahahahaahaha...dah lah i ni tengah melayan perasaan..ceyybahhh! hahahahha. so i better stop my menceceh here..

i know now why :)

wonder why i feel so blahhh..these past few days and what not..all because i did not get any caffeine...tu dia the answer to my malady ...so tadi i drank a can of coke...naughty me..macamana lah kurus camni..but alhamdullillah..i will switch it to green tea. and drink it sparingly too..hehe...sean said that i am making up excuses..but i said no lah..mana ada...hahaha.

i baked this ballet slippers cake for sarina or is it for naomi..tak ingat pulak..hehe..but i think it is for sarina lah. had a lot of fun doing that :)

this morning it was snowing again and had to walk sarina to school. the wind was blowing pretty hard and that was what made the walk a bit uncomfortable. the cold snow hitting your face. otherwise, it was not a cold day at all. the snow melted later in the late morning. temp today was in the low 50s and tomorrow it will be sunny. strange winter..but am not complaining. considering what others had to go through, we got it relatively easy.

sarah and clara..at 10-11 mths old

tomorrow, we are on a mission..trying to find gourmet donuts...hahahaha...although we know that we will not find it here or in salina. but never give up never surrender...musti try jugak..jeles nengok all those yummy looking donuts at the singapore nyer donut outlets. wonder if it is too sweet...

at age 1..sarah's face was covered with nutella

sarah is getting to be more and more ornery..our family comedian lah..but sometimes, hilang jugak sabar ni lah. my honey nyer stick, the one where there is a ball at the end of the stick..habis dia buat main..she told me that, that is her wand..no wonder that thing is always missing.

age 2

i am in a reading frenzy..must read as many books as i can while i feel this way..don't know when this urge will last..hehehe. i think i have covered all the various aspects of vampire lore...well, from the serious ones to the downright hilarious ones too. just like the arthurian legends...so many variations that it is fascinating. but of course, reading these kind of books..insyallah i tak lupa reading the spiritual ones too. hopefully this year i can achieve the goal..unlike past years asyik tersangkut jer.. :)

age 3, bff?..hahaahahah

okaylah..happy weekend to all :) we will be going up to lawrence to visit my in laws. my fil, kaki bengkak sebab he slipped on ice and fell. and he slid under the car..that was weeks ago and his ankle is swollen and it still has not gone down. hopefully it is nothing..just terseliuh urat jer lah..but we'll see.

age 3 1/2 with emma. the girls were born within a mth apart of one another. clara in oct, sarah in nov and emma in dec of 2003.

maal hijrah..

selamat menyambut awal muharram in the next couple of days :) insyallah, tahun baru ni kan..start lah chapter baru for all of us eh :) on to better things and what not.

bak kata cik sriberry and all the emails that i have received..jangan lupa baca doa :) insyallah..ni must remind myself jugak lah ni..heheheh

tak tau aper nak kasi title...

ngantuk nyer...well tak lah ngantuk but mata cam layu sikit pagi nih :) ingatkan nak hantar sarina gi sekolah...sebab it is snowing pretty hard..masih gelap kat luar..we are all bundled up, but sean tepon kata he will come and pick up sarina...ahhhh..best. baik sean ni eh..hehe. dia tak nak kasi susah2 kat i dengan sarah. sarah bila dengar bapak dia nak amik kakak dia gi sekolah..wah dia pun happy sekali. very homebody lah sisarah ni..but time nak gi sekolah..wahhh..tak menyempat2..

taken just now...the snow flakes very big ones...then now..i think the weather is warming up a bit..so it is macam snow rain but not quite...which makes for bad roads...

mmmm..edamame..my fav..

ni lah edamame..i am sure all of you know what it is kan. ni semangat nak kurus kan badan lah so kena eat healthier..but bak kata kak za..nak makan healthier tapi buat cupcakes...hahahahha. i buat the cupcakes because of my love for baking and experimenting with food lah. i sebenarnyer tak suka makan kek2 ni seme..cuma tapak kuda jer i suka..itu pun i dah muak dah dengan kek tu...hahahaha. so with this edamame aside from eating macam makan kacang kuda rebus gitu, i also made it into a dip with garlic and olive oil..sedap tau..lemak..but niari i nak try taruk tomatoes and chillies and cilantro...nak try buat macam guacamole...i bet it will taste good also :)

as were driving out of the area..aleh2 jer sean slowed down..sib baik i leh keluarkan camera cepat2...saw this fawn kat tepi..dia tunggu kiter sampai dekat then dia pun cabut..very graceful dia lompat pagar..kalau i lah kena lompat itu pagar..dengan pagar2 sekali roboh i rempuh...hahahahha

last saturday, we went up to hays and then went to cedar bluffs lake...eh maybe not cedar bluff, ..alah..i pun dah lupa nama tempat tu but ada bluff kat belakang dia. ..ni kira nak pergi exercise kan..he said let's hike at this place. . mmg pernah pergi hike kat sini sekali..very desolate macam kat desert dalam citer koboi gitu..the vegetation lah..so anyway, i mmg takder mood nak gi jauh2 kan..but tak kisahlah....by this time, all the snow is melting..so roads can be quite wet and any gravel road would be muddy...that was what happened at this place. dia punyer boring kan..wahhh...tak sanggup i...i pun apa lagi..duduk kat sebelah..makan kuaci..hehe. the girls kat belakang dah start their giggling sessions...dah kena marah..lahhh...cakap tak boleh..ketawa tak boleh..agaknyer the girls kena jadi patung kat belakang baru okay eh..hahhaa...but ni bukan sean ajer lah..sometimes i also like that. sebab kan their noise level makin tinggi makin tinggi gitu..so keluar lah tarzan betina kat dalam kereta...hahahahahahha...so what happened that day...exercise ker mana apa ke mana...kite duduk kat dalam kereta gi balik..haiiii...so moral of the story jangan pergi exercise...hahahahahahhaha..* ni ketawa kat joke sendiri lah*...heheheh

best gitu nengok mr. b tido kat atas katil...sungguh nyenyak sekali...

sunday pulak..kiter cuma pergi salina grocery shopping. sean beli this walkie talkie set..dia cakap kalau gi hiking , jalan kat depan..i can just contact him, bila i dah nak turn back. maklun lah..makcik slow poke i ni kan..mmg lah lembab..nak nak time dia takder mood nak jalan..memacam excuse dia kasi..but kalau time snow2 gini..most times she just wanted to play in it ..jalan sikit lepak..jalan sikit lepak..but kalau weather bagus kan..she is okay jugak lah. semalam sarina said to me that she has to go to school today...and i said she better..semalam dah tak gi sekolah dah...also dapat her report card..report card dia..tak macam buku report card kat singapore..it is a piece of printed paper with her grades to ajer..hehe. alhamdullillah..she got good grades..cuma 2 Bs jer for aper tau..handwriting and keyboarding..apa tu keyboarding..i pun tak tau..but she told me that the school music period kasi diorang keyboard lessons..bagus lah. i have also signed up for her to have piano lessons every wednesday afternoon. conducted by the asst. music teacher..$10 per lesson..about half hour each..boleh lah.

italian cream cupcakes with toasted coconut and hazelnuts topped with cream cheese frosting

anyway, after sarina tanyer her question..my slow poke cakap..that we ( she and I ) needed to go to the exercise class down town. i asked apa pulak exercise class...she said the one that i have been talking about with daddy..oh my yoga classes...(ni class pun i belum sign up ..tengah pikir when i am doing it and what kind of classes it will be. kalau advance nyer..no lah..i ni masih beginner..hahaha...also it is held in the evening, so sean said he can look after the girls ) anyway, i asked her why does she need to to go the exercise classes..she said, because she doesn't want to get fat....lerrrrrr.....ni musti si kakak nyer influence ni tau...si kakak dah lah...satu hari tu..was running around the hosue..i said stop it lah..memeningkan kepala i jer..she said cannot..she has to exercise to get rid of the fats in her body..alamak...i told her to stop it and go somewhere else to exercise. i also said to her that she needed to stop calling sarah fat..to which she replied that sarah called her fat first...aisehhhh...

the girls helping decided that they wanted to frost their own cake. like me they like to do it jer..but makan not so..unless if it is the red velvets..that is their favourite

anyway, semalam i buat two desserts...macam mana lah sean nak kurus macam ni eh..but i cuma complete only one jer..i made these italian cream cupcakes..apa yang membuat nyer ke-italian-an pun i am not sure...but i figured that it was the hazelnuts and the hazelnut syrup used that made it more italian. the cake has toasted sweetened coconuts in it plus chopped toasted hazelnuts too. kalau makan after it is just freshly baked without frosting, emmmm..it tasted so so lah..but after taruk frosting topped with more crunchy toasted coconut..wahhhh..sedap jugak lah. sean ate like i dunno how many..he finished the ones where the girls tak habis makan...i had half of it..and well..one that sarah didn't finish in the afternoon.

posing habis sehhh...you know what happened after this shot...i heard sarah terpekik..then sarina adalah cakap something...i went to investigate.ruper2nyer si kakak dah taruk itu coconut kat atas her cake..she pulak tak suka the coconut...lahh..dah memekak..apa lagi sarina kena marah lah..dunno why she buat stuff like that..sajer nak menyakitkan hati adik dia...adik ni pun dua kali lima jugak lah..hehehehe

i think niari i nak freeze those cupcakes for later use...and i nak complete this other one..fresh berries nyer tart and tartlets..so we'll see. yang leceh nyer nak blind bake the pastry tu ajer..i dah buat dah the pastry cream..so nengok lah eh kalau rajin..i also have to finish the paper work for the accountant..ingat niari die die must do lah. we have a meeting with the trsutee next week, but how can go sebab it is like 2 hours away and the meeting is at 9.00 am...mana nak letak bebudak..so bilang kat sean..if we have to we just drag sarah along lah..hopefully attorney can wiggle us out of this..tak tau lah apa yang dia nak lagi...

my retro kitchen..this house was built in the 40s or 60s gitulah..look at the funky carpet...tak sabao nak take it out and put in hardwood flooring...and look at my berkecah nyer kitchen after my cooking session...hehehhehe

old pictures ..

feeling funky again. was looking at these pictures. part of me wished that the girls were nearer to one another..but i know that is not meant to be. every once in a while i feel this way...*sigh*

how time flies....

tempus fugit...time flees....

it's quiet here..

well, it's back to school again for the girls. sarina has a cold but she should be okay. poor girl though. she knows how to look after herself..like when she's sick the past few days..dia sendiri yang carik obat..haha. she is such a hypochondriac. just like her father. sarah is going that way too. dunno why they love taking medications..i pulak..i hate taking pills ker medicated syrup ker..i only like my happy pills..hahahha. sean got a bit worried when i said that. happy pills..he said all the lights went off in his head. yelah takut his wife jadi junkie...i said no lah..i can recognise the feeling...hahaha. anyway, this was a long time ago..i was given pain killers after surgery..

sarina posing ala 60an or is 70an eh..

sarah pulak , i tak tau apa nak cakap..but see her hair...tu dia..her own handiwork..

okay..so by now, as everyone can see, how i have become so lazy to keep up with the codes and stuff on my own blog that there were glitches the past week. sib baik lah i ada cik sri berry and to you tenk you many2 ah. but now..i dah tau dah. so i have kept a back up copy of my template. and i have managed to change the skin to the one that i like. and yes..it is almost the same like my ladle nyer blog..hahahaaa..but i like the simplicity of it all.

sarina..embarassed that her mother whipped out her camera in a restaurant..hahaha...sarah tengah lapar tu...muka seposen :)

mak dia sibuk amik gambar...tak perasan pulak what they girls were talking about

we didn't do anything much the past few days. we went walking on the levee kan last tuesday and wahh...sejuknyer. sean cakap macam kat siberia..although kiter tak pernah pegi sana lah kan. the wind chill was in the negatives and very strong . even with the sun out, it was so cold. but it's good jugak lah sebab we got some exercise too. this weekend they said that it's going to be in the 60s so we might go to hutchinson and hike there.

drinking chocolate milk, which sarina didn't finish..she said that it tasted funny..sarah tukang habiskan :)

i suruh dia senyum..she can ask me how..boleh gitu..

yesterday was the girls day out for the three of us. ran errands downtown and went to the local library. i tell you..walking with the girls can make my blood boil. mana sarina with her usual energetic self..tak leh jalan betul..mesti nak lompat...nak climb the snow hill lah dia kater...walking on the ice...alamakkkkk....and sarah..kejap2 nak touch the snow..nak makan the snow...dah terpekik i kejap..i bilang tak boleh makan snow kat sini..sarina pulak kepo..tanyer why..you let us eat at the trail..bilang kat dia..kat trail tu snow bersih..kat sini dah kotor..tak nampak ke dia the mud ..the black specks on the snow..bila cakap macam tu..baru dia kata..ohhhhhhh....ohh ke apa..oh nak mintak kena cubit ni tau..hahahha

sib baik sarah nyer straw tak masuk dalam lubang hidung dier..hahahha

pergi post office..pastu pergi hallmark nyer store..beli card and paper bag..pastu pergi lunch..of which we will not speak of it..there is no good restaurant here in ellsworth..there..end of story.. and then baru pergi library. what can i say..the library here is small and it sucks..hehehe.well, to be fair, at least there is a library kan. so sarah checked out, flush away nyer dvd and my little pony nyer search and look book. sarina checked out the boxcar children nyer book series, happy feet nyer dvd and this book where you have to look at this painting closely and in certain way, then you can see the hidden 3D nyer pictures...she really likes that book..sampai naik sakit mata i looking at those pictures. i pulak, i checked out salem's lot by stephen king. the last time i read this book was when i was in secondary school.

chocolate chip pancake

blackberry pancake

i knew it was about vampire..but since i pergi salem mass kan...i figured might as well read again..ehhehe..and after reading a bit of it..i discovered that i knew all the places that was mentioned in the book. i thought ..how cool is that...and i guess, i can understand the feeling that ppl get when the go for haj. like to follow the footsteps of the prophet SAW going from one place to another..although of course lah..i cannot compare reading a book, to performing haj or umrah, but you know the gist i am trying to get at.

oven-bbq chicken wings

matar paneer

now, on to food :) hari apa eh..i made pancakes for the family..made choco chips pancake for sarina, sarah wanted plain and blackberry pancakes for sean. then semalam kan..i buat mee hoon goreng with this delicious bbq ( in the oven lah ) chicken wings that i got from forum resepi diana. and i tell you..it is so yummy. ni ah i tengah defrost lagi chicken wing nak buat lagi camni. for sean i buat matar paneer..his favourite dish..basically, kari kacang peas with indian cheese. and then while surfing that forum nyer blog..i came across this nutella muffin nyer recipe..apa lagi..just now..i whipped up a batch. and it is very nice..not too sweet like the normal muffins here. i think , to me it feels more like a cake than muffin..but since resepi cakap muffin..who am i to argue kan..hahha..but it is yummy...i kasi ten fingers..the same to the chicken wings. so to everyone..enjoy the pictures ah :)

nutella muffin

also, to aunty sri..here are pictures of sarina :) you know betapa susah nyer i nak amik gambar dia without her making faces lah..kentut lah..hahahahhaha
