Haiiiii!

Salam! Tia Mia cakap terima kasih pada semua auntie dan kakak yang wished them:):) Lots of muahhhh from the two for everybody- All the wishes are very meaningful- some of the online friends  dah kenal sejak Tia Mia kecik baru lahir.Their actual birthday will be on the 24/6 (Monday) so we will have  a short get away in advance:)

 

I have booked their favourite Thistle in PD for tomorrow, suppossed to be special as i had ordered a box of chocolate and cake to be waiting for them in the room too- to be safe this morning i called Thistle PD and asked about the haze/API reading there- wahh it is quite bad.I cancelled the booking and looked for another hotel near the beach. Bagai nak rak carik bukanlah senang nak dapat last minutes, nakkan good hotel and right infront of the beach and tak lah jauh sampai pulau2:)

 

Finally i got one but i had to book through a website in Roma,Italy..he he..hopefully it will be as nice as in the picture:)

 

 

 

In sha allah will be going here tomorrow, hopefully the weather will be good:)

 

 

Until the next entry- lots of loves from the two girls!



Growing like cucumber and melon:)

 

 

Kids grow so fast- they grow like cucumber and melon:) My two little girls are going to be 6 years old next week:):) Next year they will be in Standard One!

 

Alhamdulillah- grow and grow girls- I will always be here to kiss and hug you, to love and cherish you- You re are always my little babies:)

 

 

 

 

So what are your wishes? Jangan tanya..kan..there will be many- let mama and papa decide while we still can:):) He he..LOL:):)

SYUKUR.

Salam, hope everybody had a good weekend.

I have replied to some queries at the previous at the comments column, too busy lately-  have to revert in replying to comments macam dulu2:)
I have different jobscopes under the new department now, meeting new people,attending alot of meetings and conferences. I have to do many presentation, building rapport with relevant authorities etc but i like it. It has been so long sitting,drafting contract, dealing with problems etc - i kinda feel refresh with the new change. The new team is great too, i can  get along well:)Alhamdulillah.

We had a busy weekend- First of all SYUKUR tak terhingga kepada Allah Swt we are given precious time with our beloved mother/Uwan- Uwan turned 90 on 16/6/2013! HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMAK/UWAN- nothing on this world can repay for what you have done for us- you are the starting point,you are the pillar, you are the reason for us to be here on this world.

16/6 was also a Father's Day- people said we love our father everyday- that is so true but it is also nice to give them present and celebration on this special day - it will not make our love less to him and will not make the rest of the year less special- what is important is in your heart;);)

We had a small gathering with anak2 Uwan yang available on Sunday night at my house- it was simple and sweet:)

 

To make it a little meriah and the girls can tumpang happy- i gantung2 lah balloons around the house:)

 

The girls were happy to see the balloons- their birthday will be next week on 24/6- May to August is a busy month for us - 25/5 my anniversay, 16/6 Uwan birthday/Father's Day, 24/6 TiaMia's Birthday,29/7 my birthday, 31/8 papa's birthday..he he...cakes all the way from May up to August!

 



 

 

I set up makan2 event outside the house, the weather was quite good on Saturday.

 



 

The simple set up was done then  time to check the food- the food was simple too, i made some of uwan's favourite,the rest were potluck from the Maklang,Kak Ikin etc.

 

 

I roasted two Sakura Chickens- one was spicy buffalo ranch chicken and the other one was non pedas oyster sauce with honey and dark soy.The gemuks chicken took nearly 2 hours to cook but it was cooked to perfection and tasted really good.

 

Maklang brought gulai tangkis with ikan baung sungai.

 

I cooked gulai udang galah harimau with sweet rebung and terung telunjuk.

 

I made sambal ikan bilis petai too.

 

It is always nice to sembahyang ber imamkan Pashik- duduk ramai2 tunggu Maghrib- sangat seronok:)

 

Alhamdulillah Syukur Allah atas nikmat,peluang dan kebahagiaan yang diberi.

 

Everything is ready.

 

Big basket (nearly 6 kgs) from Pashik to Uwan.

 

And it was for Tia Mia too- Thank You Pashik!

 

I love to do gathering outside the house at night- i like to look at the glowing lights and candles in the night.

 

Also it reminds me of Hari Raya.

 

 

The happy girl:)

 

 

Alhamdulillah and Thank You girls kerana bersabar menunggu doa yang panjang- doa buat yang telah tiada dan syukur tak terhingga ke pada Allah swt, moga semua nya diberkati dapat bertemu Ramadhan, diberi kesihatan yang baik utk beribadah dan terus dapat menikmati bahagia.Amin.

 

Cakes from Secret recipe- The white one was Tiramisu from us to uwan and papa while the carrot cake and brownies were from Kak Ikin.

 

Terima kasih Emak, tak terbalas oleh kami budi mu- ampunkan lah dosa2 kami samada yang kami sedari atau tidak sedari dan Ya Allah kasihi lah ibu kami sebagaimana dia telah mengasihi kami semasa masih kecil.Amin.

 

 

Yeay uwan, sila ambik tempat.

 

Tia Mia tumpang lah cake Uwan dulu ye;)

 

It was a good night anak2 dan cucu2, menantu etc di sekeliling Uwan.

 

Then makan time- so syok makan dalam gelap bawah lilin:);)

 

Good bonding time.

 

The true candlelight dinner;)

 

Macam2 lauk ada termasuk lah sup tulang, bee hoon goreng etc.

 

Uwan is also enjoying her birthday dinner yang di masak anak2;)

 

Then present time- Tia Mia tak sabar2 nak bagi because 3 of us( behind papa's back )went to buy present for papa:)

 

Papa got one gergaji (saw) ha ha from us..lupa nak snap gambar dah bukak:)- Now papa boleh buat banyak tables and chairs lagi.

 

Uwan pulak dapat benda yang orang perempuan walaupun dah tua masih suka- i didn't buy her the real gold- cukup lah ada sikit- these set is accesories jewellery to make her happy and pakai hari2;) Tia Mia made special butterfly card for Uwan- butterfly is their favourite:)

 

And papa has kapok guitar from us- yeayyyy papa can now belt us some songs:)

 

Very meaningful to see happiness on people's face- especially the one you love- he's a special man,husband and father and we love him very much:)

 

Special pose of Uwan and pashik- My emak looks very beautiful in my Kaftan isn't she? Can believe she's already 90:) Syukur ya Allah.

Well that's the story:)- It was a tiring but happy weekend- semalam mengecat rumah dengan husband nak patah pinggang penat:)

 

last night i keluarkan pack pecal beli dari Manado hari tu, suruh heni rebus sayur2..adohhh sedap banget kuah pecak ni..kalau tau hari tu mesti i beli berpack-pack,just tambah air.

 

I am, not a great fan of Pecal or gado2 but this one is definitely to my liking- sangat sedap- pedas, manis,rasa belacan semua cukup..rasa nak terbang manado beli banyak2 lagi lah;)

 

Okay lah..itu cerita kami:) ta taaaa.

 

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

The Queen of The Kitchen & The Carpenter:)

Salam All.

I wish tomorrow is still a school holiday, it such a bliss to go to work without jam:) Sorry pada yang mintak recipe ya,belum berkesempatan lagi, i am so tired,ha ha mana nya tak pernah tak penat weekend ya:) Will try to attend to it when have time.

We had a small project this weekend-let see what we had been up to:):)

Saturday we went to Pusat Kusta Nursery at Sungai Buluh- my perennial banyak yang dah mati,Heni pun sibuk " Puan kembang banyak yang mati tak berganti"

It is really worth to come here, there's so many choices and it was cheap.The petunia in a big pot which will cost you RM25 at the nursery along jalan sungai buluh will cost you RM8 only here- tak ke kelabu mata tu:) My girls had fun here, ada ice cream man lagi:)

So i pun mengangkut banyak jugak balik especially yang 4 pots for RM10 tu:)

After lunch i heret my husband to the wood supply shop,ada satu garden bench and table yg dah reput- beli kat ikea memang tak tahan. I tak pernah test skills my husband dalam carpentry ni, my arwah father dulu memang pandai and i rajin tengok,i can make some simple stuffs- i know screws,nails,saw,hammer quite well:) First i tricked my husband into going to the shop on the pretext of buying a few woods to replace the rotten table,tapi bila sampai i lured him into buying whole set of wood to make a new table!  He he dont worry mister we will do it together:)

Petang i dah sibuk ajak dia start project:) Dia cakap 'esok lah,dah nak hujan ni" I cakap ' it's okay we do it under the shade" he he.

Yang dua orang ni sibuklah gardening- sangat suka nak tukar pokok bunga into bigger pots.

For tea-I made Apam pisang in ramekins for the hardworking people.

No doubts the blooms can bring peace and harmony to your surrounding.

Malam buat lah lauk kegemaran The Carpenter, kari jantung pisang istimewa.

Prawn with baby kailan in Oyster sauce is the girls's favourite.

Kesibukan nak makan malam:) The Chairlady tak duduk lagi ni,sibuk menjenguk rambutan:)

No matter how tired the girls still get their bedtime story session from me:)

Sunday after Pasar Tani- The Carpenter pun start menyambung project.

Me- The Queen of The Kitchen dah start beli barang2 kering for Ramadhan:):) Kena letak semua dalam glass jar kalau tak Heni letak sana sini dalam fridge,tak jumpa,nanti belum habis dah beli lagi.

Proses menukar apron,hanging towel pun bermula.

Tia when she saw the tea towel that reads -.....The Queen of The Kitchen,dia sibuk tanya 'Mama where is your crown?"

So dia pun sibuklah membuat crown for me.

I googled photos for her so that she can follow it:)

For the hardworking King i made hime a special lunch:)

Laksa lemak with telur lembut and sambal belacan :)

Huishhhh kerja keras betul..sampai tak berhenti-henti maklumlah ini first project:)

Since tak masuk2 i served him lunch outside)

Tadaaaa...finally..i can't believe my eyes! ha ha..macam lah buat kereta ye..anywhere i appreciate his effort very much- the table looks awesome to me:)

Since dia dah penat- i too over the work by giving the final touch i.e painting it.

There! Our 'home-made garden table":)

It looks good and sturdy too and blends well with the existing furnitures.

Dah dapat cat i pun touched up semua benda2 kat garden termasuklah cubby house Tia Mia:)

It was a good weekend- we managed to make a garden table:) All flowers were transferred into their pots and we had fun with all the work.

I feel happy:)

And The Queen of The Kitchen is sleepy now:)...Night night everybody, hope Monday will be nice to us;)

Ta taaaaa:);)
