Of Hoping

Have you ever think why do you want to be pregnant?

I do..

..and I questioned myself.

Do I want to get pregnant because everyone around me are?

Am I want to be pregnant because I need to have my own child to feel my love when hubs and I arguing?

Does this have to do with giving my parents their own grandchild and my siblings a nephew/nieces?

Is it because people around me keep asking the same question?

Or this is what a women should feel/done what she gets married? And which law does say so?

I mean, do I really need a reason?

There's even people who thinks that I dont want to have my own baby. Oh wow..who are you anyway? and to compare my life of marriage to another person is such a big mistake.

I learn that life is not for comparison. Thus I do feel sad that my friends are (most) all pregnant and myself keep asking what is wrong with me. I questioned and talk to Him why did He do this to me. 

Is this another challenge that I have to bear because of my sins? Therefore I have to learn to accept and pleased with what ever He gave me? 

I feel bad every time I ask Him all of these questions and it makes me feel ungrateful for all other great things that happening to me. This leads me to think that He is the Most Gracious and Graceful to me for these years of my life. Thus I have to be patient and time is the healer of the grief soul.

There's reason why Allah plan it that way for us. By planning, it doesn't mean people have to stop trying. 

I checked and ensure my period is normal by hysteroscopy. 

I did my own research and read a lot of TTC (trying to conceive).

I did mengurut my peranakan and to found out that my womb located prior to the right. 

Done asking my gynea about having difficulties but she said we are still young and too early to predict that we have any problem. She said give ourselves two years and later come back. Really Doc? Hubs questions of her answer that to what extend that a couple should know that they have problem? They have to give it years to know about it and found out it's just too late?

Astaghfirullah. 

I feel like I am so impatient when writing this. To think back, giving ourselves time to conceive is also another option of having a baby. Looking at the bright side, all the efforts for getting pregnant provides me better sight of what's happening to myself.

Later probably any other option of getting pregnant. Detail health check up. iUi. IVF. etc.

The very least that I could do right now that I pray to Him with my every breath I take, that one day, sooner or later, He will give us soleh/solehah child that will help us at life after. 

"Wahai Tuhanku! Janganlah Engkau biarkan daku seorang diri (dengan tidak meninggalkan zuriat) dan Engkaulah jua sebaik-baik yang mewarisi". 
-(Surah Al-Anbiyaa', Ayat 89)

"Wahai Tuhanku! Kurniakanlah kepadaku dari sisimu zuriat keturunan yang baik. Sesungguhnya Engkau Sentiasa Mendengar (Menerima) do'a". 
-(Ali-Imran:38)

Hubs new hobby

I was surfing reading in the room while Hubby is playing his new game that he bought. I never check out what he buy for his x-box or ps3 but I am sure it is something to do with gun or shooting or at least some assassins thingy.

But I was wrong..

Baby and diapers?

He was dressing a baby with a diapers. I thought it was another drama in the game but no! He's actually controlling the remote and adjusting the diapers. 

I'm shocked. What kind of game that ask you to babysit? I'm sure this is not another The Sims type of game.

I wait for the game to continue and later he have to milk the baby - which I just have to capture :P


He's trying to explain but too busy focusing on his game and stuttered. I suppose he just found his new interest :P

Things happen for a reason

We are on our motorbike to Prince Court for an appointment and was at Jalan Pinang to Jalan Kia Peng. There was a construction site in front on Convention Center and traffic was normal. Suddenly Hubby push his brek and we both fall down. I felt that I was rolling on Hubs and the first thing that came through it 'Ya Allah, janganlah Hubs kene langgar dengan kereta'

I suddenly feel the pain on my right knees and hardly walk up. I heard Hubs panicking asking am I okay but all I said is 'Purse.Purse' sebab takut kene curi. Haha. I don't even look up cause I am panicking. People nearby start to help us on our foot and I heard one of them saying 'Kereta tu himpit tadi'

I dont know if it's true. Hubs said he didn't notice either cause he remember that he brakes. I suppose the sands from the construction that cause this. We rush to the PCMC and I was crying  like 'Wuuuwuuu' ,literally >< (oh malu pulak bile tulis)

Hubs stops at valey parking and one of the person realize the pain I'm into and quickly grab wheelchair. My body is shaking and tears suddenly running through my face. He help us to the emergency room and been checked in to one of the rooms.

I don't even look at my knees but I notice some blood coming through. My top foot also have some wounds but it's not as hurt as my knees. I asked Hubby whether he's okay but he's more concern on me and said he's fine (later I found out he also have some small wound on both his knees and thigh).

Nurse told us that the wound on my knees is so deep and explain I will be expecting a terrible pain when she cleans it up. Ya Allah, tak cuci pun da sakit, so, go figure. I was sobbing when she starts the procedure but I didn't scream. I was gasping for air evertime she mention 'Tarik nafas yer' because I know she will dap the cotton on my wound again. I guess it helps me to endure the pain. She explain 'Ini air garam yer. Sakit ni' Then goes 'Antiseptic' My God! I feel like kicking but my legs was hurt remember?

The pain was horrible that my Tudung is wet for my tears. Hubs was worried and kiss me on my forehead every time she does that. It helps a lot. Maybe that is the strength to go though it.

Later the Doctor came and she was nicely said 'Ouu..you poor thing. It's okay. I know it's hurt. I am going to check your bones okay?' Ahh..such a soothing voice and I suddenly think of government emergency ward looks like. Probably I will get 'Ala..tahan la sikit. Sekejap je'

Alhamdulillah orang-orang PCMC so nice :)

She touch and press my joints and asking whether I feel anything despite the wounds but I have no other pain than that. She's glad and checking other parts, like my head and backbone. I pass the 'manual' x-ray :P

Later she talk to Hubs on the medicine and explain it to him and the nurse. She just stays for a while but her absence really gives a comforting feeling.

After the whole clean up and patches my wound, the nurse left for the documentation and to proceed with our appointment that we suppose to be at 10AM earlier. Hubs and I were talking about the accident and was laughing when I told him to help me with my tudung cause it felt so uncomfortable. He said I looked like this bibik =_="

Later we both feel sorry for our pants, bike yang baru ganti side mirror, his Hush Puppies shoes but still glad that all of those stuff can be replace. It's just the matter of money :P I was wearing my favourite Poppy pants and that was my second time wearing it. Bah... I looked at his shoes and it looks terrible with the stain on the front. Hubs said 'Kalau tak pakai kasut, tercabut jugak kuku tu' - scary =_="

Before dressing this morning

I get my 3 days MC for the wounds that I have. Probably because I couldn't walk straight and I insist Hubs to check himself as well but he's just too stubborn and acting cool about it. Sheeshhh..

All in all, I still feel grateful for this and when thinking that Allah wants me to rest for these long holiday, makes me feel He is just love me so much that He wants to keep things together (I'll explain later in the next post)

With regards to all the pain I have to endure, the hard walk that I have to take, not to mention when doing stuff in the toilet, I still have Hubs next to me - breathing alive. Things could go wrong at that moment but He saved both of us.

Thank you, Allah.

Opportunity and love

People around me noticed that I baked quite a lot recently and most of them said it is an opportunity to make some business.

That word.

Business.

You see, I baked because I love to and not because I have to. To reach the extend of enjoying baking so much that I can make money out of it, is still far away to go. But God want to test me when Kak Su (officemates) ordered my chocolate cake. Well, I occasionally brings some cakes to the office and after tried several cakes that I make, she wants to order for her sons birthday. I told her I dont make business but she insist want to buy it from me.

Ah well...what the hell.

Package from Bagus


To be honest, I feel the pressure of baking the cake for her and i dont feel satisfied as what I did before. I feel like making another one but I am emotionally tired to do it again. I bring to Kak Su and told her I give it as a gift but she insist of giving the money. Aih...I respect her and I accept it.

Well I could see this is an opportunity but I dont feel like I am doing it now. Probably later when we move to Kerteh and (probably I stay home - for a while) bake for small business. I still do love baking and making cakes but I love taking my time.

But one thing that I am sure that failure and pressure is not going to stop my passion in this area and I would love to name it as a hobby of mine. Complements and supports from dearly of mine keeps me going and I hope, one day, I won't let their hope fade away :)

ps: Recipe from here :)

Cloud nine

I'm up above the sky today because Hubs praised me that I just made the best cake ever! Hubby who always have small little tiny imperfections on my cooking (but any imperfections must come after saying 'sedaaap tapi'. kalau tak, tak nak masak dah. haha.), it's either 'not rich enough' or 'too fluffy' or 'better add this or that' (he is my Chef Ramsey in the kitchen) but this time he said 'Everything perfect! I don't have any negative remarks for this'

Despite the looks :P Next time gotta do better!

He even told me to keep the recipe and he can finish it all.

This is the highest compliment - EVER! Feels like jotting down all his words. Wah! Over!

I am flattered! Wheeee~!!

Goofing with break lights

We just came back from dinner and was about to reach home. There's Alphard in front of us and did you know Alphard have LED for it's break lights? So cute! (I am such a dork for lights and I can melt for any guy who brings me to iCity (which I already married to :)))

One of the LED didn't lit up when he press the brake. So we were talking about the LED brake and how cost effective it were for cars. Hubs told that if one brake light damage, others still can functions. Angah came to a statement 'Cost effective comes with high one time cost' So true!  This conversation happens when we stop at the traffic light at our home.

Anyway, the light was so bright and it annoys me (Alphard driver keep pressing his break while waiting the traffic light turns green) but somehow a lightbulb came out of my head - lets take picture! must be awesome cause everyone will look red! 

It was so funny because I just get the idea seconds before the traffic lights turn green. I am rushing getting my camera ready and Hubs was trying to chase the car. Whenever we are so close to to it and every time Alphard hits the brake, it's either I am to late to snap a picture or the light already goes off. 

Cepat-cepat..alaa...da takde

Ok. Ok. Sekali lagi. Alamak. Gegar.

Alamak..lagi teruk. (Hubs muke tak berubah.Haha!) 

Kejar lagi. Cepat!

Hah! Amek! Paling dekat! Paling merah!

I hope the driver didn't notice we are chasing his car over his brake light ;P

Aras Bayu Melati

Such a classic name for a girl.

In case any of your kids dating her, you would have asked 'Who is your girlfriend?' and there goes 'Melati'. You would get ready to meminang her right away! At least I would! Haha!

 In her cradle

Look at Melati's face. It's like 'Urghh' Haha.

Me and Fiza (plus Din) visit Linda after giving birth to baby girl. The moment we arrived Linda's house, both of us were like 'Ok. Where's our camera? Let me get the baby and you snap' The only thing that allows us to do this is because Linda - is our GOOD FRIEND and she don't mind if we don't ask how she's doing (of course we did! but after take her baby and snap photo).

Sit tide for a second and she starts crying (cause she don't want to put down)

We bring Melati into her stroller and snap photo. Put her in bed and pose. Let her have her drinks and we pose again. Everything about babies is that whatever they did is so cute!!

Shleepy 


Sleeping on my lap after milk

We talked a lot on Linda's condition and how's her life going on. She even showed her video giving birth to Melati and it makes me tears looking how hard she pushed herself, surrounding with people she loved. Her husband at her side giving her all supports that she need and right after the baby was born, we could see her husband's face was relieved and hugged her mom tightly. Aw... touching jap.

Look her awkward position at the first time

Fiza was afraid about how fragile Melati is and have been so reluctant to hold her but me and Linda keep giving her face and drop the baby to her. She don't have a choice and see.. she could handle her well okay.


Then bam! Maternal instinct kicks in :)

There's a moment where I glimpse us back and see that three of us was all alone years back at the same company. Now, Linda with her baby, Fiza and Din, and myself also married (Hubs wasn't around as he went to Bintulu). 

LOVES!!

Time really running fast and I wish I always make time to these people so that I won't have the moment 'Mom, I want you to meet Melati's Mom, Linda' and I'll go drama that we've known each other but lost contact. I want my kids to know all the great people I met and for them to have awesome friends like me. 

You know why? Because we gonna get old together and shared all of our experience to learn and keep each others on the ground :)

ps: edited due to harsh words been used. sorry Fiza. It was meant to be funny but I guess I put it in the wrong way. please love me because I LOVE YOU!

My dolls

I adores kids but unfortunately kids never like me. Haha.

I dont fancy dolls as much I like soft toys like teddy bears.

Dolls are scary.

So I thank God for giving me, my own dolls that I can (pretend) put the make up on and groom a bit.

So cute that Im gonna die!!!

Umie would kill me if she founds out that I do this to her son-in-law or at least she would shaking her head and I'll get my lecture when he's not around :P

But I always use my winning word 'He let me do it'

Heheee..

Salam Aidiladha

We celebrate at Kuantan this time and apparently many of my family members contribute for korban. Did I watch the korban session? No. I didn't. I couldn't see those cows been slaughtered. Nanti tak leh makan daging kang (kalau kesian tak leh makan daging korban tu kan). Angah made one part for her nazar dapat kerja tahun ni. Umie, Mak Ndak, Ayah Ndak and Wan also contribute one part each. So my fridge and stomach is full with meat. Haha. Banyak plan nak masak ni. Black pepper la. Resepi masak kicap Mak Ndak la. Plan je lah kan :p (as writing this Angah already cooked daging kicap Mak Ndak. nyums!)

First raya Umie cooked the famous and wanted meal from all of us - Nasi Minyak. Key El kan tak jual food tu for breakfast. Mengidam habis semua orang sampai tak sempat nak snap gambar. Mak Ndak buat rendang nom nom. She is super duper nice when she mention that she cooked it for us sebab Raya Aidilfitri kat Bachok/Besut. Rendang Mak Ndak makanan wajib setiap kali raya. So kire this time nak langsai kempunan hari tu. Bertuah kan anak saudara. Hehe.

The next day Umie called all cousins for lunch and we have been contracted to help her with cooking, dishes, preparing tableware and go to buy some missing ingredients (ice la. cili la. tepung la) We cooked like for 100 people where actually takde la seramai tu. Soto ayam and lauk pauk macam sup daging and sayur goreng. Macam sikit tapi penuh table and renyah time part soto tuh. Rebus ayam. Carik ayam. Poppiah goreng lagi. Bergedil lagi. Ewah ngomel macam aku sorang je lah buat semuanya :P

Ni baru satu. Ade lagi 3 meja.

Tapi all the efforts was really worth all the hassle. Gathering with all family members for such occasions bring us closer than ever. Especially when all kids are around and they wanted to stay longer. Nak main game la. Mak Ngah buat layang-layang tak bertali la. Main gunting paper la. Komot2 kucing la. Nak tengok Boboi la. Tapi mase tu main je. Bile sorang-sorang dah balik, baru ade bunyi 'Yang pakai skirt tu sape name?' Kids...

Ha..amek seat depan sekali yer.

Siblings yang perangai gila bile ade sorang hangitkan nasi himpit sampai hangus kering air dan termasuklah Maman yang semakin samseng. Kalau dulu Maman je yang asik berbunyi bile gaduh tapi sekarang die dah jadi taiko. Die pulak pegi kacau kucing yang belum cukup umur. Bini (Yot) baru je mati kene langgar tapi sekejap je ade pengganti. Ade taste dah sekarang sebab bini baru lagi comey dari Yot. Ktorg panggil die Putih sebab suci je walaupun bulu kotor. Tapi takpe. Ade sorang ni rajin bebeno nak mandikan si Putih ni. Selambe je mandikan kucing orang ><

Uda dengan Putih

Second child from Busu. Second child from Abang Ngah. Second child from our family:)

I forgot how these kids love chocolate so much and I only have few chunks from earlier choc cake I made. So I made it again the next day wishing I could bring it to their house but time is running up so fast! I already made twice but still tak cukup. Takpelah. Next time balik buat lagi sekali. I didn't expect my cake would be so laku. Haha.

Capur je semua dan blend dengan mixer.

Senget kek pertamaku. Tambah topping kasi kecur air liur.

Teringat Ajit (anak Abang Ngah yang sulung) yang kurus sebab asek main je tak mau makan tapi bile tengok orang makan mi soto, sekali join sekaki. Siap 2 round plak tu! Satu round at least 2 kali tambah. Suke betul tengok die makan. Bile die tengok Afif angkat mi hoon tinggi-tinggi die pun cakap 'Sedapnyer. Kite nak jugak lah. Letak banyak sikit' Ewah..sedap kau order yer. Sep bek aku sayang kau.

Cuti 4 hari memang tak cukup. Rasa sekejap sangat cuti kali ni. Macam-macam nak buat tapi tak sempat. Takpe. Yang penting dapat jumpa mata dengan semua orang pun dah syukur sangat. I couldn't ask anything else but feel blessed with His grace ^__^

Gathering

I finally manage to go Magh's house which actually not that far from home. Sheeshhhh..if only I knew earlier! Hazirah arrived at the same time with me and we played with Maryam while waiting for the rest and I couldn't resist to snap her photo through out the day.

She is the easiest and nicest baby I ever met! She only cries when she wants milk. Other than that, we can take her away from her Mommy and played with her hair, dance and talk with her like adult babies should be. Sebab tu kalau jalan-jalan, Magh tak yah bawak stroller sebab semua orang willing to dukung her ;)) She even sleeps soundly in the car on our way to the restaurant while me, Hazirah and Magh gossiping talking at volume 5!

 Yam, dont grow up so fast okay?

While her mommy was getting ready for breakfast lunch, me and Hazirah dressed up Maryam and prepared her for our girls outing. Hubby and Abe Ja super sporting sebab let us have our girl's day out. Bukan selalu dapat bile dah berlaki especially when they are available. Kalau derang outstation tu lain cerita lah. Kekadang terselit cerita pasal pasar or house chores dengan Magh since only both of us married in the group. Kinda funny when the topic is actually boring but me and Magh keeps on updating each other on the news where's the cheapest place to get fresh fish or how often we mopped the floor. All other girls rolling their eyes or making =_= face cause we just crash the conversation. Hahaha.

Che Hani. Mok Sa. Che Aliah.

We met at Ulam's near Giant Kinrara and the place was quite cozy for lepaking but I don't like the price. Sape suke harga tempat harga the same limau ais that cost RM1.50 for me and RM1.20 for Aliah? Someone made jokes that Aliah harga murah sebab muka student. We starts to compare each other's meal and to our hypothesis, the higher your salary, the higher your price will be, despite how simple lauk you take. Haha.

Lauk Kelantan habes!

Kerabu sedap!

Raje was late but she is forgiven because she bring us jellybeans!! I didn't know that not all jellybeans tasted nice and she purposely pick some of horrible jellybeans ever tasted. The reason is to make the eating part more interesting - with rules no picking. So it's like everyone couldn't pick any of the colors after some of us notice which colors tasted like meds or plastic or cinnamon or i-just-couldnt-figure-what's-the-horrible-taste-like! Urghh!

Even pink and pale pink jellybeans tasted differently

We all have high sugar at the end of the meeting after tested one jellybeans and another. Tak puas hati punyer pasal selagi tak dapat yang sedap. Dah la kene makan jugak kalau tak sedap, else kene skip turn amek jellybeans. And whoever cheats sneaking over the jellybeans will skip 3 rounds before her turns to take the jellybeans. Oh my..it makes me realize how crazy we are at that moment over freaking jellybeans! 

HAHAHA

Oh my... we ARE crazy. It's just less than 2 hours meeting but I was laughing my ass off all the time.

Macaron

I tried it because it is so cute.

HAHA.

To my surprise, it works for my first trial. But maybe this would be the last time I ever done it alone. Don't really favor the taste. But I would do it again if it was just for fun with people that I love :)

Recipe taken from here.

I copied exactly from her steps and played around with the temperature. You know why? Because my oven is still new and plus it's small. So when I use the same temperature at the same period of time, it burns my macaron. Got to adjust the temp after one tray to another till it perfectly cooked.

It still taste good though. Haha (Gezz! I should buy a proper tray!)

Macaron's foot. Need to improve next time (if only I'll do it again)

Western's dessert has been always known for its sweetness for Asians. Therefore, to try out any of their recipe, you must lessen up the sugar first and taste it. Later you'll get the picture of how sweet they were. My macaron was fine for me but Ayah said he couldn't take the sweetness. Angah and Hubby said they are fine with it but they did mention they wouldn't eat more than 3 at a time.

The only things left :P

Like this blog mention, it tasted like one our famous candy during our childhood where we called it gula-gula udang but I doubt the taste would be different if you use different type of filling. There's also some good reading from New York Times mentioning different place have different taste of macaron and referring to her entertaining cynical writing, I just found even more fun things to try on with macaron despite the taste and colors :)

ps: Macaron and Macaroon is different. One O does matter according to here :)

Kota Kinabalu (Part 2)

My God. I hardly remember what we did. Urgh...should have wrote as a draft right after the trip.

Anyway, move on to the next morning (on the third day) we take a tour trip with an agency and they sent Marcel as our tour guide. We had our ride shared with another pair of Australian peeps. We paid for RM180 per pax for Kundasang and Kota Kinabalu park. Sounds not much but there's quite plenty of adhoc pit stop towards the day :P

Kundasang

We started early in the morning around 8AM and it took one and half hour to reach Kundasang. It wasn't a pleasant ride as the road was uneven (even it was sealed road) and a lot of holes but it doesn't bother us much as we've been entertained with green scenery (such a breath taking view) and informative Marcel who answer all of our ridiculous questions. We asked so many questions one of it was this - 'What's the PHYSICAL difference between Dusun and Bajau? Because all of you looks the same' and I remember when he gladly answer 'Orang Dusun have visible muscle sebab mereka selalu naik turun bukit angkat barang. If Bajau itu bentuknya tak serupa. Kurus dan gelap dari Dusun. Saya Dusun. See, I have fair skin' Haha.

US heading to Kundasang

I forgot to mention our driver whose name I forgot but I remember he drove 100kmph up to the hill. Fast and steady to cut over any bus or car in front of us. Later we found out he was a bus driver who frequently drove up and down Kundasang area. FYI, Kundasang is a valley and imagine the road is like Genting/Cameron road with longer kilometers. He don't even makes us dizzy or what so ever (just a bit of scary at first concerning the safety but after looking his skills, well, he drove us safely) Salute!

Anyway, Kundasang is just famous village area and we didn't stop at the market there (cried sebab tak boleh beli fresh looking vege to bring back home). The place was on our way to the first pit stop, thus explain the green scenery ;) 

Pekan Nabalu

First pit stop was Pekan Nabalu where the place is famous with local craft. We bought some of our souvenirs like beras bukit and purple keropok (Marcel told us that we can't get any cheaper price compared to other place and it is soo true! RM10 for 7 key chains). We could see Mount Kinabalu from this place and there's even a look up tower which we are not even keen to go over tapi lepas tu menyesal. We just broke Vacation Rule - DO EVERYTHING THAT IS PROVIDED FOC!

Mount Kinabalu from Pekan Nabalu

Shima was so hungry and I accompanied her for breakfast. Hubby and the rest do some bargaining for the stuff and we spent for about half an hour here. I bought seikat pisang (more than 15 biji pisang emas) with RM2. Wohooo!! Cheapest and nyummiest banana I ever bought! Bahana lapar sangat

Wanted this mirror but nahh...

Coins bag.

Kinabalu Park

Ahh.. we supposed to be here since Day 1 for Mount Kinabalu climbing but unfortunately fate didn't pass through us just yet. Hopefully we can make it next year :) Here's where all the climbers stay over before starts their climbing and they have several parks that visitor (non-climber like us) to see Sabah reserved nature.

Info board at Kinabalu Park

Here are the info board where it shows International Climbathon record. Such an awesome feeling looking those proud list. Not far, there's an exhibition room regarding the park and some other information about it's nature. Usual stuff like the culture and history which most of them are quite known to us but we forget cause we learn like thousand years ago during schools.

Marcel explaining the geographical area of Borneo

One thing that impressed me so much is the time capsule's kept here! The idea was from Tun Mahathir in conjunction of counting the high of Mount Kinabalu expedition. There's some his personal belongings that was kept inside and scheduled to open on October 2020. At that time I'm already 34 years old. Whooo...macam tak lame jer.

Time Capsule

Stuffed animals

Botanical Garden

Our trip package didn't include Botanical Garden but our Australian riders request for the place and we dont mind go there as well. It's not that far from the exhibition place just now, so why not kan - but with additional own charges of the entrance fee as it didn't cover with the package price.

I don't remember we walked to the place

One good thing about Marcel is he knows well all the plants and how/what/why the purpose of each. Kind of knowledge session in science class. He showed us Cinnamon tree and told us (with apologies that afraid the info might offended to us) that married couple normally pounded the cinnamon to make it powdery and applies it to men's willie. It works like viagra. Enough said. Funny thing was that's the only thing I remember from his class. HAHA!

Scenery

Wild orchids

Oh..he even shared some of his experience working as tour guide. To our surprise he is at the same age with us, yet he had changed and travelled so many places as tour guide. Such an awesome job he had and all of us starts to envy him :P

Flower that have fruits that taste nothing :P

Small little orchid.

We can't help ourselves comparing Botanical Park at Peninsular and we must admit that Peninsular offers more than this place except the cool temperature. As we walked around, we could feel this place much cooler as it is located at the hills. So many pictures taken from this place and I wish my internet is 12mbps. Garr!!

Ok. Chiau! Tempat lain pulak. (Hubby macam tengah kawad :P)

Lazy bum bum

I forgot that I owed KK update.

My lazy head is running out idea and it ain't working especially at this hour.

I should be sleeping..

..and yes, you too my dear.

Stop that x-box and lets go to bed shall we?

Tak nak sudah. Bye!

I don't know how about the rest but can you sleep well without your soul mates besides? Me? No. But at least I would sleep in bed. Hubby lagi mengada  teruk. He would sleep in front of tv and it happened when I was abroad. I couldn't imagine people who LDR.

Sedih.

God bless those souls and may they have all the strength they needed. Amin.

Forgiveness

I was looking from my window and saw a group of kids playing down hall. There's a bunch of them playing soccer and some of them playing something else under canopy which I can't guess since I am seeing from the 6th floor.

There's another pair of kids that caught my attention. It's seems that they are playing wrestling game but after a while I notice it was a serious fight. They are grappling, punching and kicking each other. The cartoon boy (as he's wearing cartoon shirts) always on top of the stripe boy and conquer the fight. It was unstoppable fight as some of the kids trying to pull them off but instead they get hurt. One of the rescuer get a kick on his tummy and there's funny boy being a referee.

Once a while they did stop and staring each other with fierce face but one of them either continue chasing or provoking the other. I have this thought 'Tak nak anak boy la kalau macam ni. Oh..salah. Itu ungrateful. Tak nak raise anak kat bandar'

Geezz..these boys really kick their ass off in this fight. Actually I almost cried seeing this kids fighting each other (tak suke tgk orang gaduh, especially kids) but I really want to know what's the ending.

There are adults near to them and also help to stop the fight but they just dont want it to end. Gaduh dan gaduh sampai penat. The man was talking and seems like saying something to both of them. The cartoon boy siap tunjuk-tunjuk tangan macam 'die ni.die ni' and the stripe boy was sitting with panting breath.

After a while, it seems a mouth fight pulak between two but the stripe boy mostly keep quite. Suddenly I realize the cartoon boy gives a hand to shake but the stripe boy refused and cried. The man said something to the boys and walk away.

The cartoon boy take the stripe boy hand and shake but the stripe boy slowly punch him at the his tummy - more like friendly punch. Luckily, it seems a happy ending when the cartoon boy laying his arm over the stripe boy's shoulder and pat on his back. Cartoon boy siap tolong lapkan air mata stripe boy and hold his hand to the stripe boy's face.

Aww.....

Gaduh guling-guling pun boleh baik lagi. Terus tukar tought 'Anak boy pun tak pe' :P :P

It's just reminds me how things that might seems wrong and full of hate can turn something so pure and peace. Such small fight leads to a beautiful relationship, that people do hate each other at some time but at the end, we still can forgive each other. Teringat satu pesanan 'Pemaaf itu lebih mulia di sisiNya dan tangan yang menghulur adalah lebih baik dari menerima'

I hope we all do have the forgiveness in our heart, no matter who is right or wrong, even it hurts us so bad deep down inside :)

Baking lagi

I'm such a sucker in baking and dont have any mojo in this area.

I did twice on pavlova and like I said, Hubby is helping on the third pavlova..and.......we screwed, again!! HAHAHA!

Trying his luck ;)

The meringue didn't turns out nicely as it should be. Instead it turns fluffy and getting shrink after it's cold. I will enroll Pavlova course with Ewin next time. Orang lain buat sekali jadi je. 

I blame the mixer and my stupidity in chemistry. I read somewhere that you have to understand how the ingredients works, like you have to keep the eggs at room temperature but I don't simply get why. Hubby said it nothing to do with any chemistry. It must be the sugar cause we manage to get the crunchy crust at the bottom of the cake which are the cake smudges actually which it's so thin and so sweet.

Pavlova 3.0 (nampak je jadi tp teksture x jadi tuh)

Anyhow....we figured some of the theory why it didn't work out:
1) we cut the sugar into half
2) we didn't beat the mix ingredients long enough (tp nk lame macam mane lg)
3) or the oven is too small, thus need low temperature than it should be.

Kami bukan pemanis which that's what the desert should be. I would blame the sugar though. Takpelah. Jadi macam tu pun dah puas hati. Lain kali, kalau nk makan, kt g Alexis je la yer B. Maleh da nak buat. Hahaha.

I was reading the past few days and stumble upon Rainbow cake. So cute that I must try and I did but I want it to be like this but when googling the image of the cake, I found plenty of ways to make it.

Look! You can stack em or even mixed them in one bowl!

Cute gile!! I give up making them stack by stack as I only have one oven and there are 6 layers which I have to bake them one at a time. I tried on the first layer and look how it turns out:

Ha..teka la color ape.

It tasted like a cookies and wasn't so bad tough. Tak caye, meh sini rase. Ade lagi. Rangup tau. Maybe sebab it's too thin and I bake for 190 degree. That's what the recipe told me to do so! Ah..well, I still have another 5, so I add them together in one pan and it turns out PERRRRFECTTTT!!

Put 'em all!

Tadaaaa~~ (nape pink jadi mcm oren merah? purple kuuuu jadi ape tuuu)

Skarang mau tabah buat cream cheese frosting tapi tak de mascarpone cheese. I'm afraid the texture didn't comes out soft and it became crumble :| There's some tips here but I only use white eggs. Haa..macam mane tu. Tp I think yellow eggs does makes your cake more soft. Tuh...lain kali punyer cerita lah. I have plenty yellow eggs already - I think it's 12 yellow eggs in total but nampak gaye jadi rezeki tong sampah. Yellow egg is not good for your health, kn? kan? :P

Warna-warni ^__^

Baking is fun when we are playing with colors. Feels like painting in canvas but you can eat it. Berangan buat art kejap tadi bile tgk polystyrene cup filled with colors. Hehe.
