the best $13 investment...they had a great time playing with this in the back yard :)well, another week has gone by :) this week, we have been doing a lot of driving. sean is into this new thing of taking the truck and driving on the back roads. i think i have mentioned this before yes? anyway, this entry i will talk about our camping trip, the first ever for this year..i know..so lambat kan..and summer is almost over..and also our trip out in western kansas. but before that, let me tell you the story about this laksa goreng :)
sriberry's laksa goreng :)
okay...this laksa goreng i tell you, is so sedap.com :) i ikut resepi si sri lerr..saper lagikan. but the story behind this was, when i saw the picture on her blog, i was so like slurrrping my own saliva. it looked that good. then kan..a couple of days ago..i kept looking at the picture until malam tu i sampai termimpi2 you...that was how powerful the picture of that laksa goreng was tau. and so the next day, die die must make it and i did. wahhhh..abis masak jer...tak menyempat tunggu sejuk..i senduk satu mangkuk and duduk depan tv . makan sambil watch some show lah..wahh..nak kata i ni pelahap tak lah..gelojoh pun tidak...but because of the dish..wahhh...i mencekik macam tak dapat makan berminggu2...makan punyalah pelahap..sampai terbegik sehhhhh...haahhahahahahahahhahahhaa....*lap air mata..ketawa banyak sangat nih*....i terbegik sampai sarina jadi so concern..tanyer i..mommy are you okay..are you going to be alright...alamak..orang tengah terbegik..cari air..dia boleh tanyer whether i am okay or not..of course lah i am not okay kan...i just waved her aside and reached for thr glass of water...wahhhh..punyalah lega...she asked me again and i said that i was alright..just went down the wrong chute jer..hahahaha. after that..i continue makan lagik..hahahha..tu ajer citer laksa goreng i ni..hahahhaha
can't remember what she was telling me..banyak gambar sarah kat camping trip ni...why no pictures of sarina..sebab kakak sibuk gi swimming..satu hari suntuk kat dalam air..hehe
okay..next up was our camping trip about 3 weeks ago...punyalah panas. temp was in the low 100s. and then angin pulak wahhh...very the strong. but good for gerry yang suka kite surf..kiter berenang pun very difficult because of the huge waves..macam rasa2 kat ocean pulak...hahaha. this trip, for the first time, the girls slept in their own tent. they were excited, until night came and they had to go to bed kan...ingatkan it will be okay, but nope..siap kejap2 mommy this..mommy that..last2..they asked me if i can stay in my tent and wait for them to go to sleep...lerrrr...but tu takper..
diekni so very active lah...very fit..tak macam i dengan sean..hahhaha...
the second day kan..the ranger came to our site. tak pernah2 ranger datang visit for 5 years of camping there..this year diorang pulak buat hal. they said that there were too many tents on our site. we can only have two, but then, sean said that the girls' tent are only so small..then this ranger, which happens to be a woman, changed her story..oh it is not because of the tent..it is because , we are camped to near the common area...then sean asked, was our tent near the common area..now, this site 51 and 52..we always book them. and they are tiny, esp 52..satu tent pun entah muat ke tidak..so when sean was told that yes, we have to move our tent...that was when all hell broke loose.
see..happy kan diorang..but at night..alamak..boleh buat i macam nak terpekik jer..sib baik kat camping site..malu sikit mak diorang nak jadi tarzan betina..hahhaha
imagine a 6 '3" guy, 250 lbs, with a bandana on his head ( kak za..maintain eh..maintain..hahhaha) dark glasses and face smeared with suntan lotion suddenly turned red in the face and was barking at me..telling me that we are packing up to leave the site..hehehe...wahhh..seme panic sehh..termasuk ranger tu..haha. i pulak tengah cuci pinggan and pots that we used to make lunch..my fried tanyer..whether we are really leaving...i senyum jer and said..no i don't think so..hahha. then the ranger told him that he didn't have to move the tent. dia buat dunno jer..habis bantal2 busuk seme terkeluar tent and he shoved it onto the truck...hahaha..but in the end, pandai gerry pujuk kawan dia...tak jadi sean nak balik..hahahahahhaha. anyway, tu lah the highlight of our camping trip. :)
our tent, the green one while theirs, the blue
then a couple of weeks later, or even a week after that, we went on a trip out to western kansas. sean wanted to show the girls where he was born and now that the girls are older, they would certainly remember this trip. so we went to dodge city and from there went to hugoton. one of our best road trip in kansas, excluding today's..itu nanti2 i citer eh :) insyallah. anyway, this was the trip where we went to the big basin state park and came across jacob's well.
we so love this place..can watch the turtles the whole day
a place where there's a natural sink hole and it provided a sanctuary for the red-eared turtles. the pictures that you guys saw on my animal planet nyer edition. it is here also that we cam upon the open range, where the cows are free to roam about with no fences keeping them off the road. again..tu lah gambar lembu2 yang cantik molek :) this area is also known as the red hills..i guess you guys can see why kan :) definitely, we will go back to the big basin park, just because i'd like to see the wild bison roaming the prairie and take a picture of them :)
the red hills :)
bottom of the well...macam panjat bukit gitu..hehe
well, i better get to bed..i know..this seems to be like an abrupt ending kan..but badan i sakit2lah..hahaha..the whole day duduk dalam truck..gallavanting again.. :) insyallah..will write about this trip soon too :) have a great week ahead :) as usual..more pics here :)
the sunset

Laksa goreng eh??? hmmm...laksa mana nak cari? kedai vietnam ada lah..tapi kering punya. I suka yang basah beli kat pasar punya. So how? Tada apa lah encik...kalo itu maciamm...INI MALAM jugak saya buat itu laksa goreng. Pakai mee hoon jugak. Ammak!
Haii..sean..napa lah engko panas baran. Saling tak tumpah macam laki aku. Panas baran melulu. Semalam repair tractor...habis tool box semua dia campak. Bersepai tools. Pastu tractor dah ok..ingat dah boleh lah mow the lawn...sekali HUJAN!! hehehehe...apa tak menyumpah kawan tu.
kak za..yes, kat kedai vietnam,they sell fresh laksa in packets..but the noodle is thicker than ours..i pakai the dried one, i beli tah bila tah..lama jugak baru this year i masak :) mee hoon pun sedap jugak lah kak za :)
hahahahaha..john sounds so like john..today dia mengamuk kat the roofers and the city administrator pulak..haii..tak habis2 nak memboring kan diri sendiri..hahahha
The Laksa Goreng looks so tasty. When I was 12, one of my friend cook laksa in a weird way too… her mom made some Laksa Cracker! Can you imagine that? But it was so yummy!
I am new with your blog and I just realize that you are married to a white guy :)
I start realizing that when looking at those kids. They don’t look similar to our Asian kid hehe.
The camping looks great and I wish I could have a great camp too even though I know we don’t have summer here! Haha.
How do you adopt to overseas life? I mean the city, the country, people and so on? I went somewhere for 6 weeks and I just missed Malaysia so much. Hehe. Homesick.
salams faisal admar...hopefully blogger is okay now..semalam i reply habis seme hilang :)
anyway, laksa crackers..very intriguing lah, dah nak kena cari resepi dah ni ..i remember time dulu2 very popular apa tau..kek murtabak..buat hantaran :)
oh yes..been married for 10 years already. my kids, entah eh..honestly. i only see my side when i look at them. hahaha...darah melayu very the kuat :) sekali sekala..baru i nampak the father nyer side..but not often i would say :)
when i go back next time..i would love to take my family to go hiking in some parts of singapore and malaysia. so many beautiful places that are open now compared to maybe sayy 15 years ago. ppl over here envy ppl over there..summer all year round kan :)
how do i adapt..i would say after almost 10 years being here..i finally adapted? haha. city wise..i prefer living in small towns that are near big cities. that way i get to enjoy the amenities without the headache of living in the bustling cities with crappy traffic. country..well nothing beats our own country yes..but there are some advantages here of course :)
ppl..i would say..not a lot of bad ppl, but too bad the bad ones are the ones that are in the for front..always on tv..haha. and also, i discovered that ppl here are more ignorant than anything else. they don't really seem to know much except for what's going on in their backyard. not a healthy thing i tell you. of course..i miss our food. that is why, tak pernah2 buat keropok ikan kan..but because tekak nak makan..terpaksa buat sendiri jugak lah..hahahha
Laksa goreng? How was it? Never taste it before… Hehehe !
But, it looks like spaghetti =)
Cute kids, anyway!
OMG! you made your own keropok ikan? ni dah boleh jadi chef dah nih... eh what about your accent when you speak Malay? hehe bunyi macam mat saleh tak? :P
Salams Hidayah :) it was delicious..sampai makan terbegik2..hahaha. thanks for the compliments on the kiddos :)
Salams Faisal :) yes..itu kira time darurat lah..tekak dah betul2 nak makan keropok ikan our style kan :) chef..tu tak lah..but untuk tekak i and for friends yes..i can cook...hahahhaa. My malay?..alah..my malay macam you dengar kat pasar lah..mana ada slang..hahahha. takder one..i lived in singapore for 28 years..tak kan lah malay i jadi slang..tu dah jadi kes mengada-ngada tu..hahahahahhaha.
Oooooo I love that sunset pic!! Well shot! :D
Banyak sangat tent... or ok... suruh ranger to mari datang ke East Coast or Changi beach. Kat sini tents on weekends sampai takde tempat to set up. SOOOOOO overcrowded. With orang melayu lagi *hahahaa* Dah nak jadi kampung pun ada these beaches.
I'm also like that lah... i'm not big on noodles, but bila dah start makan one that is really delish, jangan harap i stop eating :D
