New Uniform

Last Wednesday, my twin got their new uniform ...

They did not wear it on Thursday since it still not dry...

So this morning...and since I don't want to hear any more "please ibu...nak pakai baju baru..", here they are in the new uniform..

The size is quite big...tapi takpelah...malas nak pi tukar2 dah..

and this also means I have extra 2 pair of clothes to iron each day...uhh!!! ok..ok... no regret...

RM1.50

minggu ni dgn minggu lepas..amatlah busy di opis...

tapi walau busy mcm mana..makan tetap kena makan kan...

tapi kekadang bila busy sgt ni..kepala jadi buntu nak makan apa kan...

dah 3 kali saya memusing meja jualan kat cafe tu..

ayam masak merah ..... tekak lately cannot take chicken lah kecuali ayam kampung n ayam pencen..

ikan patin masak lemak cili api..favorite ku tapi today..mmmm!!nop!!!

ikan sembilang masak cili ... nop!!!

kari daging...kari ayam..ayam masak kicap...ikan singgang...nop!!!!

semua yang lain pun nop....

perut pedih ni...

apa ku nak makan ni...aduss....

last-last ku pilihlah yg ini..harganye....RM1.50 aje...lunch paling murah pernah ku beli...

sedap jugak...

nasi putih dgn sup kaki ayam....sayang takde cili kicap...

apa ke ceritalah...layan ajelah..

semalam

Kul 6.30 ptg..hubby called dari opis..."mie masak ye malam ni, abang tak makan apa-apa lagi ni.."

Di umah, dlm fridge cuma ada daging, kerang, pedal ayam dan ikan jaket...huh! tak tau nak masak apa ni...

Oh ya...dah sebulan lebih tak makan ayam ni...beli ayam ajelah..

Maka, dengan 2 org pengiring setiaku...pergilah mencari ayam dan telur di Pasar Borong Selangor...dan juga kacang buncis serta bendi...

Balik ke umah..tak tukar baju lagi ni..jam dah kul 7.50 pm...

Takpe..masak nasi dulu, perap ayam dgn garam kunyit..potong sayur ...tinggal kat sink dulu..

cepat-cepat .... dah hampir kul 8.15 dah ni....sembahyang maghrib tak lagi ni..

ok..mandi dulu...sembahyang maghrib..alang-alang..tunggu ajelah isyak..

oh ye..bebudak tu tak mandi lagi...

"cepat2 mandi..."

..."ibu nak air milo"...

"..yelah, pi masuk mandi dulu..ibu buat nanti air milo tu..."

bru!bru! main air rupanye budak2 ni...."cepat...kan ibu tutup lampu kan"

"dah pi pakai baju, pas tu pi minum milo tu"...

"abang tak nak pakai baju ni..apasal ibu bagi baju ni..."

"dah tu abang pi cari sendiri baju nak pakai...ibu nak solat ni"

selesai solat...dua-dua dah terbaring dengan botol susu di mulut..melayan tom and jerry..

"ibu...bila nak makan nasik ni...abang lapar lah"

terbondong-bondonglah saya turun ke dapur...goreng ayam and goreng sayur...

jam dah kul 9.12 malam..."abang...adam...ni ambik pinggan nasi ni.."

mengadaplah anak2 ku dgn nasi putih, kicap, telur rebus dan ayam goreng...sayur goreng tu tak dilayanye..susah tul makan sayur...mcm maknye jugak..

ok..anak-anak dah kenyang...simpankan lauk-lauk utk hubby ... saya tak makan ye... seram tengok jam dah kul 9 mlm..masih ada hati nak makan tu...tobat dah kes sardin hari tu

naik atas..layan tv kejap...

tutup lampu..besok kena bangun awal, kul 6.30 kena gerak dari rumah pasal ada kerja urgent nak kena settle before 8 o'clock next day...

hari ni...

5.45 pg...kena bangun ni...hubby still tidur..dia shift siang...kul berapa balik pun tak tau semalam..

mandi...subuh...gosok baju....ke dapur..buka fridge..lapar perut ni...kan mesti tak sempat breakfast kat opis ni..

apa yg ada ni..hah! roti sapu mentega and kaya ajelah..sekeping..hish tak cukup tu...ok..2 keping..

heh! apasal periuk nasi dlm fridge ni...tak makan ke laki aku semalam..

alamak..dah 6.30 ni...chow dulu..

hai..kul 6.40 pg pun dah jem..bilalah kerja-kerja kat depan DENSO ni nak siap..habis satu Bangi jem nye...sabar ajelah..sakit dah kakiku menekan klucth ni..

di pejabat..kul 10 pagi

"abang tak makan ke semalam..nyok!nyok suruh orang masak..nasi tak luak pun.."

"hish! apa pulak tak makan...abang makan semalam.."

"sayur kacang tu sedap pulak masak macam tu kan..hari ni bawak bekal tu lah ke opis.."

emmm...nasib baik makan..kalau tak mengamuk mak hari ni..

dah habis..

tak de benda nak cite...layan ajelah blues ku hari ni..

Gambar2 makanan aja...

prosper pepper dari Pasar Tani Precint 2 Putrajaya...sedap sgtttt...
fillet daging tu depa buat sendiri..ada 2 choices, daging and ayam...

sup tulang hentam kromo ... bubuh halia, daun limau purut, cili api (ketuk-ketuk dulu),
air limau nipis sikit...garam...sedap jugak and takdelah berlemak sangat jadinya...

ni kekonon taknak makan nasi..buatlah potato salad guna cream cheese...lagi hancus sebenarnya..udang tu peram dgn lemon and rosemary..patutnya grill udang tu..tapi malas nak bukak oven dari store...grill dlm alumunium foil aje...

masak nasi lemak ni weekend hari tu..itulah breakfast n lunch..
kacang tu hangit sikit sebab hubby yg gorengnye...

sardin with potato ni was found guilty of charge krn menyebabkan saya menambah nasi 2 kali ketika jam menunjukkan pukul 9.00 pm...memang berhantu jugak sardin ni makan sesekali...sekali hadap aje kami sefamily menghabiskan sardin 1 tin besar tu..

The MOM Song

enjoy the lyrics ye..

copycat

People said..if you go to Malacca, you have to try their asam pedas...isn't it..

Therefore, during our recent visit to Malacca....we did try their authentic asam pedas at a 1-storey-terrace-house-turn-restaurant at the junction after ING building and Public Bank, towards the Banda Hilir..why? because a few people that we asked said that is the best in town and they also served other masakan kampung...

And it was true to the recommendation...we have asam pedas ikan kembung, asam pedas ikan pari, ulam-ulaman, telur goreng, hati lembu masak kicap, telur masin, air mata kucing, air sirap bandung, air milo ais, air kosong and 5 plates of nasi ye..total was RM24...giles marveles kan harga tu...and memang menyelerakan though the place is not so cosy, what's more the weather was really hot that day...but sorry friends, forgot to take picture...tak sedar diri dah tengok makanan masa tu..

What I noticed in the asam pedas is there were daun limau purut and daun kesom or bunga kantan was no where in the soup..the soup was so thick..like curry and u can actually dip it with bread tau..so I thought, maybe they blend all the daun kesom and bunga kantan together with bawang everything..and last night, in my own attempt to cook authentic Melaka asam pedas, that's exactly what I did..I blend everything before putting it into the water to boil..I used salmon head (I bought 3 pieces of it last time, still have 1 more in the fridge..with RM7.90 per kg, mau I tak memborong) and I fried that head slightly (petua chef Istana Hotel tu)..

And how does it turn out...my hubby (forever be my critic) said that it taste better than my usual way of cooking asam pedas..but I was not happy as the soup didn't turn out as it was in Melaka..it does not thicken though I let it simmer for a very long time...geram tul lah..

so where do I go wrong? anybody know the answer...please tell me...

and this is the picture of that asam pedas..note the soup tu mcm tomyam aje..

Asam pedas ikan salmon

And these were the other food I cooked last nite...

Udang masak debab debub...masuk aje apa2 sos yg ada kat dapur tu...

Udang goreng tepung for the twin

Our 6th Anniversary At Melaka, World Heritage City

For those who works in Federal Territory, 1 February 2009 marks the FT Days, means a day off the office (cuti oooo!!!!) but for us, it is more special as it also means another year had passed since we became husband and wife in 2003..yes, it is our 6th wedding anniversary....cepat aje masa berlalu..

And I have planned to celebrate it in our very own World Heritage City, Malacca...

We did not go to A Famosa, Stamford Building...the weather was really hot and my twin is not in a good mood walking under the sun...yg menarik minat mereka is just the Big battle ship or trading ship, they saw during the Melaka Cruise...for those who want to experience Melaka Cruise, it is better to go at night trip since all the lamps, lights and neon make the riverside like having a festive or something like that...we also did not go to Jonker Street as planned since they are having Light Festival there since we spend the whole night searching for a place called Pengkalan Balak..yes, it is not on any signboard at the town or along the way to our hotel..rupa-rupanye u have to follow the sign board to Masjid Tanah and from there only, the name Pengkalan Balak started to appear on the signboard..hushhhh!!!

Oklah..let's share the photo...and we are planning to go the other World Heritage City, Penang...I've never been to Penang and hopefully can be there soon..

Our first stop at Muzium Lebah..sapa-sapa nak beli madu lebah boleh beli kat sini..
3 botol 500gm RM100...3 botol 1000gm RM150...

Tengah tunggu boat....

Me and my boys on the boat..

These are the pictures taken along the Melaka cruise tu..45 minutes journey to and fro..ticket price is RM10 for adult and children was charged half price..

Muka Adam dah tension pasal sibuk dia nak ambik gambar..

Dalam kapal perang tu...Muzium Samudera Melaka

Johan Atas dek kapal

Adam atas pelantar depan kapal ..

Adam posing bergayut dlm muzium kapal tu..

Johan serius peluk Adam (mcm mencekik aje)... Adam dgn gaya Ultraman dia lah tu...

Adam pi panjat tangga tu sesorang dia..tangga tu curam tul..dah nak turun tak sampai kaki pulak, terketar2 jugak dia kat atas tu..I tengok aje, biarkan dia pasal nakal sgt, kita dah cakap jgn naik, dia naik jugak..nasib baik that nice chinese guy tu yg sedang posing utk mika dia, tolong si Adam turun..

Abahnye tengah reminisced the old memory masa atas kapal tu..tengah walking down the
memory lane lah tu masa muda2 dulu tu..siap ajak I naik cruise pulak pasal rindu duk atas
kapal katanya...ish!! apa I nak buat masa cruise tu...bosanlah..

Tu tak serik-serik tu..panjat lagi..

Sampai hotel, terus terlepek atas katil...tapi kejap aje ye sebab ada xtvt yg mmg depa ni suka sgt...
kami stay di Everly Resort, Tanjung Keling (but more at Pantai Klebang)

tu dah bersungguh-sungguh bukak seluar tu...nak mandi lah tu..anak2 saya ni amatlah
suka mandi...kat rumah tu, sehari kdg2 sampai 7-8 kali mandi sehari..sabar ajelah...

first round swimming dlm bath tub hotel ajelah dulu..mak nak rehat ye...

pastu depa and hubby sambung pulak mandi kat pool hotel..mak melepak aje dlm hotel, layan starmovies...lama dah tak tengok movies tanpa perlu bercerita jln cerita kat sesapa...

That nite we planned to have ikan bakar at Umbai for dinner but was told by one of the hotel staff that Umbai is quite far from Pantai Klebang and since we are not familiar with Melaka, better try the one in Pengkalan Balak. which is about 45 minutes journey from the hotel.halfway the journey, we get lost again, stop at pump station and luckily this good samaritan asked us to follow his car...siap nak tunjukkan shortcut tu...thank you very much to the owner of MAA 8017..at last we reached Pengkalan Balak but we couldn't find the gerai-gerai ikan bakar tu..makan ajelah at one of the kedai makan kat situ..but it is not the authentic ikan bakar, eat with the nasi lemak bungkus ... ..overall, the cicah is not good..takde umppphh langsung...Tanglin ikan bakar punya cicah lagi power beb!!! but the fried sotong and otak-otak kempas taste better...and the end, my hubby said, we really need to go to Umbai next time...nak kena cari yg original jugak kan..
