Di Kau Ratu Di Hati Ku, Daku Ratu Di Hati Mu!

Salam,

Happy Mother's Day to All- we think about our mother everyday and we love them endlessly, it is sweet to dedicate one special day to them- In sha Allah we remember and love them for the 360 days;) Whether we are a mother or not surely this day is special to all as one way or another - Kau Ratu di Hati Ku and Ku Ratu Di hati Mu:) Alhamdulillah endlessly.

Untuk semua ibu2 yang lebih di sayangi oleh Allah Swt Al Fatihah to them. To All bloggers and readers MTM we send doas-may all be blessed with love and good health:) Amin.

This year we had dinner at Kak Ikin/Badin Place called Gangnam Station- the restaurant serves Muslim Korean Food:)

She is : Ratu di hati Ku- one the way to Gangnam Station:)

I am going to No 1 Ratu Di hati Ku ( Uwan yang dah 3 hari tidur rumah Maklang) at Kak Ikin's place.

The nice and cosy place. This place used to be "Mexican Grill" before this but looking at the competition and marketing strategy they changed it to Korean Food- So far so good, Alhamdulillah.

Ample space for children to run around.

The Appetizer- they are all delicious.

These Appetizer are free and refillable.

My favourite- kerang chilies:)

I like the home made Kimchi too.

The Grilled Beef.

The nice seafood steamboat.

Eager to eat.

Busy eating.

Uwan received present from Tia and Mia.

And kena suap Tutti Fruitti too:)

Mama and Kak Yan. 

Mama and Kak Ikin.

Maklang@my sister and mama.

Ratu Di Hati Ku makan tembikai;)

After the good lunch, we went back and saw these under the table light- kesian berhempas pulas my girls membungkus ni- nak cut the tape and all, the bow ribbon tu dari baju lama dia orang yang dah tak pakai:) Thank You Darling:)

Woke this morning my husband was excited to give me the present he hide in the store:) Know what he bought for me? He bought me a new pot...ha ha ha so thoughtful Pa! I shall cook for your don't worry:) And the girls gave me these cute polka dots bowl with cover.

My Ratu Hati Ku after the eating my Nasi Lemak,sat on the swing with a bowl of Triffle i bought from Alinas Treat:):)

It is so meaningful to see her on the swing infront of my house- when she was so sick in the hospital early last year and i thought she couldn't make it- we had this conversation - "Kau jangan lah sedih sangat kalau emak mati,emak dah tua mestilah yang hidup akan mati jugak"- 'Mak mesti lah kuat mak, kalau dah sampai masa mesti lah kita akan mati,tapi kalau Allah swt bagi emak umur yang panjang boleh tengok Tia Mia sekolah..emak nak balik rumah Azu tak? " Mesti lah emak nak balik rumah kau,emak suka duduk rumah kau,emak suka duduk di atas buaian depan rumah kau,tengok budak2 main"- I was so sad at that time, i went to the washroom and cried loudly, I prayed to Allah Swt to be given chance to take care of her some more and be able to bring her back to my home. Seeing her again on the swing- only Allah knows how i feel;)

These are my  Ratu2 Hati Ku- sama2 tunjuk lutut:):)

To make the girls happy  i displayed all present they gave,the stripey in the middle is Uwan''s bowl, Tia Mia bought Heni present too- it was 2 golden mugs, Heni was so happy she hugged Tia Mia tightly:)

And to make The King of my heart yang beli periuk dan sorok dalam store for me happy i pun masak lah pakai periuk yang dia beli:)

My Asam pedas for everybody.

And for Tea i made hotdogs with sweet relish.

That was my day with the people i love- I hope everybody had a good one too:)

Note: Kniedaz- i guna serbuk sup sayur adabi untuk kuah steamboat and kadang2 kalau rajin saya rebus tulang2 ayam with bawang and lada sulah:)

Dan terimakasih pada semua yang singgah especially yang menjaga ibu yang tua dan yang memberi kasih sayang pada semua- Special Thank You pada Pacificblue, The Singing Pilot,Norcy Atan,Kak Kasih Redha,NazeeraMayonnizz,Zaila,Ita 4 KayEs,Ida,Kniedaz, Uncle Lee,Hani,Liyani and yang jauh di perantauan Mazni- may all of you had a good time today:) Salam.

Time Together

To Tia Mia: 

Here some of our pictures for the past few days- nothing special if we look at it now but surely very meaningful few years down the road.

One Beehoon morning.

And Uwan had early breakfast while everybody still asleep:) I always treasure this view- hope you feel the same.

Rainy day is perfect for singgang- one of mama's favourite.

Weekend: we said " why dont we go for a movie- lama tak pergi?" But what movie is suitable for you both? No more animation movie playing in the cinema - we then found"Eleanor's Secret" from French Film Festival playing at GSC MV- so we watched French movie and it turned out to be good.

Weekend mama thought about kampung a lot- miss kampung very much- we prayed together and tried our best to have the kampung spirit in our home sweet home here.

This is one of the best moment too- walaupun you two always cheeky but i look forward to this time.

Don't you think childhood is the best time? You dont have to think about other things, you just enjoy your life and time with honesty:)

Remember Uwan recited her favourite syair- "Pelita Hati"- ... one of the line in the syair said '...hey anakku beringat serta berfikir, jangan lah kau lupa akan sembahyang" Uwan has many beautiful syair yang penuh pengajaran.

That night we had our steamboat in our kitchen.

It was raining and cold- steamboat was a good choice.

Everybody was waiting for the steamboat to cook.

Finally time to slurp- you both like soup very much and you asked mama for two eggs each that night:)

Sunday we went to our club after settling all the duties- we had a great time swimming- lama betul tak datang sini kan.

Uwan had a good rest too.

Look how you Tia was posing inside the changing room;) 

Monday mama and papa didn't work- and it was so nice to walk in KL while  everybody else work:) We went to enrich office in KL Sentral to check papa's points:)

We had lunch at KL Sentral but when we came back at 4.00 you both said you re hungry- mama cooked hotplate crunchy noodles for tea.

Tonight mama cooked gulai rebung with ikan lamanya tak makan:)

and mama made suun and fucuk soup for you both.

We had  a good dinner- hopefully tomorrow will be good for everybody.

That's all girls- go to sleep now.I love you too very much:)

..................................

One Day in May is The best day!

Hullo!

Don't we love off day:) Especially when it is in the middle of the week- macam kerja until Tuesday then cuti, esok already  Thursday and we can look forward to Friday heh heh:)

Last night i cooked Gulai ikan merah masak lemak cilipadi with petai for Uwan, i buat pekat2 sikit-bak kata Uwan kuah boleh colek:)

Labour Day morning i baked Mince Meat with brown sauce Flaky Pastries. I used "Kawan" brand frozen pastry.

It took like 1/2 hour to bake- biar jadi brown before switching off the oven.

Pretty looking Pastries:)

Flaky and puffy:)

Nice to eat while it's still hot- if anybody is interested; recipe for the filling- i fried some dice onions in olive oil,add mince meat, let it turn brown, add some cooking cream(fresh milk will do if you dont have cooking cream), add in two spoonfull brown sauce( boleh buat sendiri but i used the powdered form brown sauce i bought from FAMA),add some black pepper and let it simmer until thicken.

Lunch- Heni went out to Giant to celebrate Labour Day, dah dapat gaji kan plus i gave her some extra money because she worked during weekend. I pulak masak lunch gulai kari jantung pisang with chicken, goreng ayam kunyit for the girls- sedap betul,lama tak makan jantung pisang masak kari:) I guna rempah gulai daging adabi campur  rempah gulai nasi dagang yang my friend bought from Kelantan.

ha ha pasai apa muka Uwan macam tu? Actually Uwan tengah cerita kisah ngeri kat kampung sambil menahan nak pi toilet,Uwan ada cermin mata baru- wahh bergaya Uwan, the new glasses much better and looks good on her too.

Pada reader yang cakap 'dah dua kali tanya mana beli cake stand ni?" sorry ;):) i didn't realize it- actually i have answered few times in the old entries:):) I ve bought the cake stand tu kat level 1 Sunway Giza, kat tengah2 tu dulu during Christmas ada orang jual barang2 kaca etc, it was plastic but the stand dah pecah now because plastic tak tahan heat, i pulak type tak tunggu cake sejuk,terus letak, so tinggal lah cover dia ajar, jadi i bought the glass stand from Aino One Utama for RM18 or 20 plus i tak ingat and i guna cover plastic lama and glass stand yang baru. Kalau minat yang plastic you can try to find it at Living Quarters The Curve,while the glass ones you can find anywhere either at Ikea, Parkson or any home furnishing shops.

Yang suka my tablecloth pulak, i bought from Bristish Homes sebelum kedai tu tutup:) unfortunately they tak ada business lagi dah) Now i remember one reader yang cakap dia ada tablecloth yang sama dengan i i,e the olive, lavender etc:);)I love tablecloth and i can't help but to buy  wherever i see it:)

While my maid when out for shopping at Giant today,we didn't go far, after collecting Uwan's glasses, we went to the newly open hardware shop near our house. The Hardware shop turned out to be like The RM10 shops- so many knicks knacks inside and i end up buying few cushions for the verandah chair.

I bought multicoloured cushions to give the 'farmhouse effect".

Happy lah dapat cushion murah:)

The girls bought RM12 Globe- they were so happy- their first Globe:)

Apa lagi beli hari ni? he he beli pisang,rumah ni peminat pisang,kejap habis and Chikonan mangoes;)

Heni balik late evening and she bought the girsl Walls Grande- she always beli brand yang elok for the girls- Hopefully both of you remember and always syukur; while some children was abused or not treated well by their maids, you have a good one- loving you like her own children:)

Not only Heni- jiran heni yang baru datang dari Indonesia and working in Klang pun, sometimes bila Heni jumpa dia weekend dia selalu belikan Tia Mia cake from "Kings Bakery"- kesian ,bukan sebijik but sampai 2 or 3 biji, she has small children in Indonesia and dia teringat anak2 dia:(:(

That's all for tonite- hopefully we have a great Thursday tomorrow:)

Thank You Ain for sharing your experience with your twins- i appreciate it very much- hopefully Tia Mia can be like you and twin sister too:)

 To Cik Chinta (Tahniah nak dapat baby yer)- ala kesiannya- senang ajer buat nya- kalau you tak larat buat rempah sendiri juat beli Mc Cormick Rosemary mixed dalam packet ada jual kat Cold storage or village Grocer- bersihkan one whole chicken,kering kan- campur Mc Cormick herbs tu dengan air sikit dan lumur seluruh badan ayam termasuk bawah2 kulit dia sekali,lumur jugak olive oil, masukkan dalam plastic besar dan marinate dalam fridge for at least 1 hour,the longer the better, dah tu masukkan dalam Happy pan or oven yang dah di panaskan, kalau oven kena bungkus ayam dgn aluminium foil, bila dah masak sikit bukak foil supaya ayam jadi garing sikit, boleh masukkan kentang keliling kalau suka. If you cannot find the mix kat kedai, sediakan 10 bijik bawang putih,5 bijik bawang merah,masukkan dalam blender,tamabh, 3 sudu besar olive oil, lemon juice dar satu lemon, lada sulah, garam, rosemary leaves, blend semua hingga hancur- boleh lah sapu pada ayam after that.

Pada yang tanya macam mana nak decorate rumah englisg style, get some good Homes magazine macam British Homes, Home&Garden yang ada jual kat kedai, boleh start with one room first macam kitchen or living room, letak satu feature furniture with English style macam sofa or kat kitchen you boleh paint your cabinet white or cream or yellow, then letak small2 decorative items with the same theme- selamat berdekorasi:)

And salam to Lagenda Mahsuri,Mrs Fhm,Zaila, Rina,IdaUmi,Unaizah,Sue hashim,MuisAnon,Kniedaz,Yong,afiqah.
