Food,Music & Love :)

Salam:) 

We had a wonderful weekend:) Don't you think weekend is short? Within that two days we have to do groceries,house chores,send kids to classes,attend to our garden,rearrange our wardrobe,cook,eat,sleep,read,laugh,smile etc etc:):) Anyway Alhamdulillah for the weekend that we have and hopefully all our sisters in Malaysia,Singapore,NZ,Aberdeen,England,Sudan,Doha,Qatar,Perth and all over the world had a great and blessed weekend too:):)

These two days Tia and Mia had to attend their keyboard replacement class,so it was back to back from Saturday to Sunday but the girls had a wonderful time with Miss Stephanie. As for mama she had to do a lot of cooking as everybody need to eat well before going to class and she prepared lunch for Uwan before we go off to class. Anyway mama and papa had to spend sometimes together when the two girls had their music class..walaupun cuma kat soybean kiosk..jadi lah..we had great time too:)

Saturday starts with:

As usual Saturday starts with cooking lunch after breakfast:) As the class will start at 2.00 we have to take lunch at home first.The girls asked fo red spinach soup again..and mama complied:)

There's a repeat order for asampedas pari:):) here we go again adam pedas pari yumm yumm:):)

Eat girls..eat your spinach ya:) Umiyumi or Kak sham asked how to get kids to like veges? Well for Tia Mia they always like to tiru mama,whatever mama likes to eat they pun nak..so it is quite easy to get them to eat veges.Walaupun tak semua they suka but they love to eat broccoli, cauliflower,carrot,red spinach,potato and mushroom plus they like salad too:) Siapa punya pinggan ada kerdas tu? He..hee pinggan uwan lah..ada her favorite lauk gulai cendawan kukur dengan terung telunjuk and belanda..sedap lah selera dia.

After lunch we went Piano House for keyboard lesson.

Mia tertidur dalam kereta..so muka lalok lagi:) this girl gunting fringe dia sendiri..kena lecture lah dgn mama:(

While  waiting for them mama and papa had sometimes together..bukan kat mana pun kat kedai soybeans ajer ..heee..heee

After 1 hour these two came out smiling and jumping:) Miss Stephanie said Tia very good,she said "she inclines to music and music is in her heart"..wahhhh Tia.While Mia is more into drum..adik you rock lahhh! 

After class these two dapat treat:) Baskin Robbins time!

Mint Choc for Mia:)

Night time is a bliss time..ni tempat lepak the two:):)

Somebody asked tahun ni nak cuti mana? Hehh..heeehh.jangan tanya2:):) Memang lah teringin tapi tengok keadaan lah dulu..as at now the two been asking to go Disneyland and kampung ...well kampung surely no problemo! tunggu Uwan kuat betul2 ya..nanti kita balik.As for place yang kiri sekali and 3rd from right to sangatlah termimpi-mimpi heee..heee:):)

Tonight mula baca ni..dah lama papa belikan..ceritanya starts with " I always love funeral...".huhhhh..

Sunday morning we had wantan steamboat..kena makan heavy breakfast sebab music class starts at 11.30 today.

Everybody loves steamboat and can't wait..weiii adik cakap apa kat Uwan tu? macam gaduh politik ajer:)

steaming..this time the broth i buat sup ayam..with carrot and fish balls the sup jadi sangat tasty.

Ini budak yang potong fringe sendiri.

Tia wants her soup to have soft egg..she loves soft eggs very much.

We send over a bowl of wantan soup to next neighbor too:)

Sebelum hantar Tia Mia ke class kena prepare lunch uwan first,so pagi tu bila bangun keluarkan nangka siap2 dari fridge and rebus.By the time habis breakfast nangka pun lembut and siap untuk di gulai,today gulai nangka muda dengan ayam.Ada sambal tempoyak,ikan masin and ulam sedap lah selera uwan:)

Sampai class Tia mesti pi ketuk bongo dulu..she been asking to attend bongo class:)

Then mama and papa date kat soybean kiosk lagi..hee...hee

I wanna show this Rm10 ring i bought at saturday market..nice kan:)

12.40..the girls finished their class:)

And they were hungry:) asked them wether they want to eat japanese or Italian? They chose the later..so we shall have Italian today.

Starter was delicious Bruschetta from The Italian Kitchen.Very nice lots of capers inside.

The girls chose this yummy thin and cripsy premium pepperoni with mushroom,anchovies and bell pepper.

While mama and papa shared this gorgeous Salmon with rocket salad,baked potato and lemon..truly delicious.

Papa layan anak2 lapaq:)..Have a wonderful weekend everybody:):)

Hunting for a perfect pair of shoes:)

Alhamdulillah..as i am sitting on my bed now flanked by the two soft bodies i told my husband how thankful i am to Allah Swt for creating weekend for us:) My work may not be stressfull, i never shed tears  or shout at office but i am surely worn out by Friday from "managing people" at home and office.

So Friday is the more reason to be a "Feel guuuddd dayhhh"..hee...heee tak habis2 kan:) Well tomorrow is  not going to be an easy peasy day,morning will start with pasar trip,cooking,etc,etc before sending Tia Mia to their keyboard class but as long as it weekend;i don't mind at all:):):)

Thankyou lovely ladies for leaving your comments in the my previous entry,shall attend to it  when i have time this weekend but let me just answer one urgent query first ya: Khairina asked about  my emak's physiotherapist.We engaged a physio from Tropicana Medical Centre, i unfortunately misplaced his business card sebab dah sebulan lebih Uwan tak buat lagi as she is fully recovered now but Khairina you may call Tropicana at 03 62871999  and ask for Mr Emy.Emy is very good we like him very much:):)

Well my story today is about me breaking my "fast" from visiting the Mall and spending money there;):) Ha,ha..manalah tahan kan..yesterday i walked to the Mall next to my office..i had "sightseeing" in mind but ended up drying my purse:):)

I blame these on the super friendly sales assistant at ZARA,the moment he saw me terjerit-jerit lah dia "akak ada new long skirts datang,perfect for akak!" ..so i saw beautiful long skirts,interesting scarves,nice white shirt and gorgeous dresses for Tia Mia...hmmmm..jom buka puasa:):)

Before that i ve got to show this first..a divine Red Velvet  from bijoux..a RM13 per slice,my staff nak sangat i rasa ni..she bought a slice for me..yeaapp so divine,if you are at OU please give a try:):)

I had porridge in the morning; surely i need to exercise by walking during lunch time *wink*wink* so this sharp pointed shoes shall walk and walk today:):) Actually i was on a mission to find a pair of perfect shoes for me:) I memang problem nak beli kasut, susah sangat yang berkenan di hati dalam setahun kadang2 hanya 2 pasang ajer yang ada.Just imagine dulu2 my housemate ada sampai 20 pasang kasut dengan pelbagai color to match the handbag,tudung etc..but me ada 2 atau 3 ajer yang semuanya black.At the moment i ada 2 pasang kasut ajer yang i suka..dah nak rosak dah..so today memang kena cari kasut.Sangat lah payahnya nak cari, masuk Aldo,Ninewest,Charles&Keith,Mark&Spencer..tak berjumpa:(:( 

Then i found this sweet cute sandalicious for my two 'candylicious' at home:):)

Finally i found this at Clark..mula2 skeptical sebab the front is round..i tak berapa suka round front:)

But after trying a few times i found it to be perfect:)

So i have a pair of black suede shoes from Clark today:)

Not bad ehh..i think i am gonna like it:)

Now i want to share this kinda unique scarf/hood i bought from ZARA.It's really big i guess the ladies in Spain wear it as shoulder shawl.

But this is how i wear it:) I keep it short at the front as i was wearing coat today and let it hang long at the back.(Ann so true i tak suka jugak accessory banyk2..tak pandai nak pakai:):))And i pakai my coat which i bought from Sydney trip last year:) Masa beli tu i tak try pun,sebab Tia Mia and papa sangatlah tak sabar nak lunch:(actually i terambik "S" size,masa bawak balik it was tight a bit,so lama lah tak pakai..since menjaga orang sakit2 ni i guess i lost weight a bit and manage to wear it loosely today..yeayyy..but with the eating habit now tak tau lah bila boleh bertahan ni:):)

Finally thank you to my company:) Semalam  white envelopes were distributed to everybody:)..ada yang complaint increment/adjustment sikit lah etc,etc but to me..bersyukur dengan rezki di beri Allah Swt.Bak kata my emak "sikit cukup,banyak habis"

See..susah nak cari company macam ni..launching training calendar pun sangat "happening" macam pergi launching movie:) so siapa nak continue study lagi company will sponsor 30% of the fees):)

Drink pun customized:):)Salam and wonderful weekend ladies:)

Not one but two okay:):) So no lunch today and no driving to the Mall next door,shall walk,walk and walk.. i ve got to burn and sweat these two creamy yummy eggs;);) yeaaaahh an excuse to go the Mall too:) I ve been "fasting" from going to Malls and buy things for almost a week already;) Only a week?? ha..haaa.. but it seems that i have to give in today..let see whether i can just go and do the sightseeing *wink*wink*

I have a sligthly different twist to my tudung today.. namanya "twistmeanywayyoulike"..hee..heee;):) Alhamdulillah my cough,fever,sakit perut etc..are all gone:):)

Okay this is some facts about these green veges;) There are two types of bittergourd or the scientific name is "momordica charantia".This light green type is known as "chinese bittergourd" or in malay dictionary "kambas".This type is less bitter and the flesh is softer.

While the darkgreen and smaller version is known as "indian bittergourd".This type is much bitter and felsh is also harder than kambas.

Camana nak masak tak nak pahit? First potong dua and keluarkan biji dan gabus tengah2 tu,potong nipis and rendam dalam air garam for few minutes,biarlah garam banyak sikit,dah tu cuci few times and buang air rendaman. Insyallah sejak dari dulu macam ni lah saya buang pahit memang effective and sedap:)

Both type pun sedap kalau masak lemak cilipadi..tapi kalau nak gulai cara hilang kan pahit adalah dengan potong kasar dan rebus hingga sedikit lembut dan masak lah hingga lembut lagi.Anyway this is not the picture of kambas but my masak lemak ketam with terung telunjuk;):) this terung telunjuk pun kalau nak masak kena rendam dulu untuk buang "rasa sengit" dia,tukar air few times dan baru masak;)

Setengah orang suka buat ulam peria katak..kalau dah rebus sikit i laratlah makan kalau mentah ajer..tak berapa nak tertelan;):) Kalau pergi makan restaurant Puteri di TTDI pencala tu selalu lah ada ni:)

Finally guuddddd dayhhhhh everybody..may all of us be embraced by positive vibes today:):)

One of my favourite picture;) A house in Switzerland..i feel good by just looking at it! Rasa nak pi jemur kain kat halaman dia and duduk di atas rumput tanam pokok2 petunia,begonia and country roses..so bliss...Salam;)
