Yang Buat Hati Gembira.

Apart from exploring this world with the loved ones I love staying at home doing simple things. I imagine when i have house with bigger backyard i will have chicken pen,vegetable patch,traditional clothes line and a bench under a big tree. Isn't it nice to feed the chicken in the morning,water your flowers and veges,hang your clothes and be busy at the back just like my emak in the old days.The only thing that might want to add is to go to salon and mani pedi after doing all those things..heee..heee..but seriously i love baking,cooking and work at backyard,i love to hear people or my loved ones say salam or hello at the door so that i can feed them at my kitchen.

This week we didn't go out much except maiden trip to Low Yat Plaza with Tia and Mia,the papa decided to buy Android Tab for them..price quite reasonble below RM1k but capacity quite limited..good enough for the two though.

Tak pergi mana i duduk rumah belek2 almari,bilik air,dapur,masak2 and served the loved ones with food i cook.

Just to share some tips..SKII is the best thing for my skin during traveling..no need to wear extra skin nourisher etc..my skin feel good all the time there.

Cuma kat rumah kadang2 lupa nak taruk kan..the tip put it in your bathroom when you walk in you see it and you will do the routine.

Kemas my almari..jumpa banyak jugak perfume yang tak bukak lagi..lupa terus pun ada..so at least i dont have to buy new ones for few months..my current favourite is Usher Raymond..there was sales at Sydney airport so i bought few  bottles.

This is a best buy from inflight shopping- Dr Feel good face balm..it helps to maintain your face smooth and supple for hours..i'st just like lipbalm but it gives matte effect.

Sunday night i cooked meal suitable for this monsoon season..curry keeps our body hot.Another tip i would like to share here,if you want to cook local beef, sometimes your need to boil it for hours to make it soft(if you don't have pressure cooker like me:).For fast cooking,cut your beef into cubes and hammer it with wooden hammer or you may use your pestle (anak lesung). The curry turned out to be really nice and the beef was tender,the brinjal goes well with beef too.

Our dinne;r beef curry with brinjal and squid with french beans and dried chillies.

Sunday morning we had homecooked kukus nasi lemak with sambal sotong and gooey eggs..my way of celebrating Ns V Trengganu ended up with 2-1 yeahhh..

I received many queries through message this morning when i post picture at my fb..ada yang tanya camana nak buat gooey(telur cair) eggs macam dalam gambar atas..well macam2 cara kan..but mine i used non stick pan.kecikkan api..bila panas pecahkan telur and cover the pan with lid..biar lama dah nampak kuning mula cloudy boleh lah angkat...dengan cara ni telur putih tak lah keras sangat...still soft and nice.

Mia couldn't wait to eat:) sangat sedap kan;)

Okay sila makan semua;)

After breakfast,read newspaper..took out this pegaga from fridge.

Tia is merajuk and manja2 with papa..why?

Because this girl is concurring the new Android Tab..

Tu lah kerja dua orang ni sekarang..iphone,tab..

Tia is having her banana split prepared by papa..

We have non stop supply of this mango from our neigbours nowadays..it is sweet walaupun isi tak tebal..kalau kat kampung dulu org panggil mangga pedal ayam.

Selagi tak mandi,tak lunch..bebudak makan tak berhenti..ni titbits orang zaman dulu..saja beli uwan and bebudak suka.

Tu dia uwan pun sama keluar masuk dapur..sebab tu i suka duduk dapur;)

What inspires me to be in the kitchen? This pan i bought from Paris 12 years ago..hee..hee..kalau rajin masak one day boleh pergi Paris lagi..kihhh..kihhh

Situ lah pan antique i tergantung..rasa nak tukar plate yang kat tersusun tu.. nak guna pinggan mahal2n hari2 susahlah sebab heni suka pecahkan dan bagi pinggan chips:(

Okay lah pounding time...

Dah masak  gulai udang masak lemak cilipadi with pucuk pegaga..Tia Mia stay with papa at home..mamas need sto go salon now..1/2 hr i come back we have lunch okay..after that we zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...;)

Crabby,Eggy,Toasty,Soupy,Dreamy.

Baraqallah Friday .

Food in action again:):)

Last night dinner- Masak lemak cilipadi ketam withh terung telunjuk,uwan's favourite.

The chef however is having bad cough and sore throat so she had to opt for non oily dishes-soup petola & singgang ikan.

Egg business for morning-cute things from Mudgee:):)

Toasty,soupy,eggy made you happy and dreamy:):)

Yeahhh this is how you eat it..drizzle the salt on open egg..scoop and slurrppppp..Tia with her funny headgear,she is having small party at school today.

Then i dream again..dream of this beautiful place in Switzerland..masa tu camera cabuk:):)

Gambar bergegar..but can still see the beauty:)

On the train with snow falling outside very dreamyyyyy....snow capped mountain in Switzerland, journey from Zurich to Luzerne.

He..heee gambar tak boleh blahhhh..4 yrs ago..where is Tia,where is Mia? they were 7 months at that time and was left behind for the sake of mama's convocation..now we wont leave you behind girls..wherever we go we go together:)

What are you eating papa? soupy,toasty,eggy..dreamy..dreamy..hee..hee..dream will not go away..

Europe

People might think that i am too much..just got back from holiday and still thinking about travelling*wink*wink* .Actually teringat tu ada kena mengena dgn kerja di office hari ni;);)

Europe definitley sangat menarik..dulu2 travel husband and wife banyak gambar2 tapi dah lama jugak berhenti print kat kedai..ad pro and con nya simpan gambar kat laptop ni..dulu uploaded semua kat pc rumah..pc tu crash kena kilat banyaknya gambar hilang..nak kena carik balik buat kenangan tunjuk kat anak2.Baru2 ni my niece introude service yang boleh request utk print online..we just pilih gambar and the send to the company online,they will print and deliver to your doorstep..menarik kan..maybe i should do that.

Anyway ada a few gambar2 yang tak berapa lama dulu di laptop i di office...masa ni camera pun yang tebal dan gedabak tu..me and hb jad good time at Luzerne,Switzerland..sangat cantik.

Muka yang letih sampai di Frankfurt..terus ke train station untuk catch train to Luzerne.

Dapat coffee panas atas train sangat heaven...

Boutique hotel di Luzerne yang comel,kecik tapi cantik dan sangat romantis.

Musim sejuk yang menggigit..not sure whether Tia or Mia can stand the cold and snow..kalau snow kat Genting they okay..cukup lah teringat-ingat dan berangan;);)

Sydney- Departure Day.

 Salam:) Our departure was on Saturday, 2.00pm at Kingsford International Airport Sydney. We woke up early morning to have last breakfast in the beautiful city by the Harbour.We managed to visit the Saturday market! Not enough time to shop though:):) next time wehn we travel must make sure to depart on either Sunday or Monday otherwise sure leleh airliur to miss Saturday market:)

Last night at Shang we ordered room service, grill baramundi (again? yeap we love it very much) and seafood fried rice indonesian style.

Tia had to finish all the juice we brought from Mudgee:)

Morning- we had great walk from our hotel to a cafe not far from harbour..we need to eat the delicious pancakes one last time before we go back.

The Cafe is nice and sat next to hop on and hop off bus..the girls loved looking at the buses.

Okay..are you hungry? ready to order?

Papa ordered cappucino and this how it looked like...petit,thick and creamy..umphhhhh

I ve ordered two of the girls favourite..strawberry milkshakes and non other than lemonade:)

The pancakes was really good..as i am writing now i can feel the softness and sweetness in my mouth..it goes well with the wildberries and banana too.

and this is a winner too..muffin with smoke salmon,poached eggs and tarragon sauce..so delicious.

Mia loved both pancakes and the muffin with salmon and eggs.

Tia nd her favourite lemonade.

after the good and sumptious breakfast we walked around The Rocks area.

Picture with local cabs.

Then we walked to the old area of The Rocks and found the Saturday market.

The saturday market was selling food and bric bracs.

middle east foods.

we found one charming souvenir shop.

a lot of beautiful things inside.

we found teh black and white painting on the wall..this is how The Rocks look in the old days.

It all started with the rock.

This is one of the original rock which the city preserves...but the two on top are not the rock:):)..but,but they can rock and rolls.

Come on,come on it was already near 11 and we rushed back to our room.

papa drove to the rental car company to return the car..know what happened? we had big luggages at the back and also infront that papa had to stay at the reantal car office and the man from the office drove just me and the girls to airport first. After we were dropped at the airport the man went and pick papa..huishhh..lucky it was a friendly country if we are in Moscow i surely worried very very much:)

Waiting to go through immigration and check up.

fast,fast last mins shopping..i can see may cute opal necklace around...also perfume on sales:)

We finally in the aeroplane..the girls tried be as comfortable as they could.

games time..they were quite good at it.

Tried to strectch out;)

Since they ca't sleep the crews brought some biscuits and warm milk..

they had good layanan on aeroplane..everything also extra..thanks MAS!

Well..that is the end of our story to NSW Australia..if di izinkan Allah we surely would like to go for another holiday next year:) Where? not sure yet..but we have something in mind:):) i think we still not tired of Australia..and the owner of rental home from Perth sent us message and asked us to come back fast to Perth! haa..haaa..taaa..we go back kampung raya haji dulu ya..taaa..taaaa.
