Setan Merah Sesat

In the sea of BLUES…

But being a genius devil he is, he put on disguise and marched on as one zesty Niederländer.

'It was a saving-face-kind-of-match' he commented. Told ya, he's a devil (but he does not wear any Prada, ok )

Note : And.... he ‘forgot’ to extend the invitation to his other-half. That's how devil-ish he can be.

Very Delayed Wedding Entry Part 1

Ntah2 pengantinnya dah berisi pon. hehe It’s almost 2 months since we had the wedding for my BIL. I procrastinated and lost the zest to blog about it. Looking at the amount of pix taken during the period, it scares the sh%t out of me and my mind decided to skip that one moment. Until now…

This is one of the biggest event in our family, kena la blog kan…hehe I’ll do it in few parts

30 May 2008 – Majlis Bertunang dan Akad Nikah (Kuantan)
31 May 2008 – Kenduri di Kuantan (Sebelah Perantin Pompuan)
8 Jun 2008 – Kenduri di Gombak (Sebelah Perantin Lelaki)

29 May 2008
Aku masih tonggang langgang…hahaha hantaran x siap lagi (as confessed to Ezzah). Memang gubra tapi as usual, I can produce better results when working on 11th hour. Bunga2 tu is the bunga dulang, petang tu la baru nak assemble….

30 May 2008
Konvoi ke Kuantan, we rented a place called Bailey’s Court, a 4-storeys apartment building. Mula2 sampai cam x best jek tengok surrounding, but later when we entered the room…Quite impressed with the place, the rooms are much better than Ser1 Malaysia. We booked 2 units of the 3-rooms apartment with cooking facilities (but no pots & pans). So if you feel like cooking, just hop to the downstairs’ grocer. They have everything u need for you temp kitchen. The ‘elders’ shared 1 apartment while us the young guns occupied the upper level unit.

According to plan, we’ll start off with majlis bertunang and proceed with akad. All the hantarans will be exchanged that very same night, so that we can melenggang kangkung during the kenduri, next day. Rush gila sbb majlis should start around 8.15pm, ada yang solat dulu and me nak siapkan the kids, make sure hantaran ready and all. The fact that the apartment is at the other sides of pekan Kontan made it more challenging.

We reached the bride’s place slightly late only to find out that we had all the hantarans…but no dulang !!! kehkehkeh…dulang dalam keter perantin yg tinggal kat apartment. Perantin naik Merc, sudah lopa sama itu dulang. Totally slipped my mind especially when people were like lekaih! lekaih! without considering that I have 3 kids in tow, hantaran to count and other things that others don’t give a damn. So I went to my BIL’s most important event au naturel, no makeup in sight. Sib baik bakal mak mentuanya cekap gitu..dpt la few extra dulangs enuff for majlis bertunang. We started off with majlis bertunang, which luckily do not require the groom. Hubby blazed off (with soon-to-be-hitched-brother, no less) to pick up the left-behind-dulangs. Poor dulangs…

Rombongan meminang

Tunang orang for 1 hour

Adik iparku sudah besar...dub dab dub dab

Awek sarung cincin kat balak dia..

Dengan besprennya

Fuh...All the sweating and dubdab-ing (for the day) ended with smiles and happiness.

What a day.

My own HERMES

Now, I'm the proud owner of HERMES yeah the one as in handbag. This one is Kelly.

Tak caya ? betul...HERMES.. tengok ni

I’ve never knew that paper folding can be THAT therapeutic. No wonder Japanese calls origami as an art.

That will happen when you have too much too handle on your plate.

Wah...2 minggu sudah..

Aku x update blog

Entry dah melambak2 dlm Word doc aku...dah masuk kategori citer basi ni. Mana taknya, aku tagak sumer entry. Even wedding adik ipar aku pon aku x masuk lagi ni hehe cam nak masuk 2 bulan dah kot.

Tapi sbb blog ni kan arkib negara aku makanya aku nak publish jugak...tunggulah aku godek folder gambar aku yg ada 1000++, boring la kan kalo x de gambor.

Gitula dia...nanti dah free sket aku kasik korang baca sampai muntah darah...

Grading Exam for Hanis

Si tali pinggang putih...

Next day lepas sukan Adan, 6 July 2008, kami bangun awal lagi sbb Along ada grading exam taekwon-do kat sekolah. Sampai jek kami lepak dulu tgk diorang dok warm-up, master yg nak evaluate exam x nampak pon, instructor ngan assistant jek ada...

Hannah & Adan cam biasa ah, dah mula rimas nak lari sana sini, so kitorang pun blah gi breakfast jap. Tgh babah dia suap cebisan-cebisan akhir roti canai, tetiba...

Kring..Kring..

"Babah, along dah abis exam...!!''

hukelleh....kelam kabut jap, aiyoh kesian anak ibu..sorry ye Along, ibu & babah tak sempat tgk along tunjuk skill along tu ye...bukan lama pon kami makan...rupa2nya exam budak white belt ni simple jek my opismate citer. Anak dia classmate Hanis.

Btw, that's the first time we let her to carry a handphone, berdebor jgk sbbnya beg dia letak kat belakang dewan. Skill pakai hp ni nak kena ajar jugak, in case ada emergency. Alhamdulillah Hanis dh hafal2 no phone yang penting, next Adan plak ni...anak teruna ni mencabar sikit caranya...

So, nak mengcover rasa bersalah, babah dia tanya nak breakfast kat mana since she's the only one yg blom breakfast. Laju jek dia jawab...McD !! Berbondonglah kami ke McD.

Seperti yang dijangkakan, ada org buat moncong, konon tadi dia mkn roti canai, yang ni hotcake aka pancake. Malas nak ku layan moncong itu...tgk la muka dia lepas dpt...kan main...bukan habis pon...saja jeles

Untuk pengetahuan korang, ni kali ke-4 berturut2 kitorang melepak kat sini tau since year 2005, lepas Hanis sambung plak Adan, kat sini la jugak aku terbeli quilt yg sungguh comei ala2 english tp haram x pakai, kat sini la jgk aku ngan selambanya dtg temankan Hanis masa 25hari dlm pantang pas bersalin Hannah (tu kat bwh tu haaa..) kehkehkeh kat situlah jugak aku gila kuasa takeover uruskan budak2 kat khemah sbb cikgu sebok psl acara sampai lupa budak2 x minum since 8am...

So starting next year, x de lagi dah lawatan ke Stadium UIA. Gonna miss that...especially nengok bebudak girang gumbira...

Having 2nd Thought

Dear friends, TQ for ur tips. After reading your comments, I'm having a 2nd thought about owning that delicious 2in1 microwave oven itu. Hehe...teruja ngan ropanya yg sgt santek...itu saja...x pikir plak psl my cooking style. Cewwah..mcm la kitchen goddess sangat hahaha

Reason being ? Selama hidup aku memang x pernah ada microwave, umah mak aku lagi la takde. Kat opis pakai just to reheat my food. Pendek kata boleh sesangat la survive without it.

But I do heart oven, I use it for baking, grilling fish and chicken esp chicwings and setahun skali buat bakar biskut raya...the one yang aku pakai sikalang adalah yg sgt murah tp byk berjasa dengan tajuk pensonic...bila abis bakar bunyi ketingggg !! cam sydde ckp tuh hehehe tapi dia sudah retire sbb wayarnya hancus digerit Cik Ti, kang x psl2 aku kena karen jadik cam chicwing aku gak.

So, ambik syarat rasanya nak beli gak microwave, alcheapo one sbb mmg aku jarang pakai and will survey for built-in oven. Suka sangat...yang, yang.. nanti nak masuk umah budget utk oven ni bleh la pegi ke tempat lain ek...(sure laki aku hantuk kepala...)

Sambil2 tu ambik iktibar ayat sorang contractor ni bila ditanya, what is the most essential item in the kitchen ? ??

A COOK...dush!! dush!! ya betooolllll.....

My turn la plak

I've been salivating over PDAs so it's no secret that I wish I can get my hands on it come my birthday. But then, I 'harassed' my colleagues' PDA, mcm2 spesis ada...ku try, ku pegang , ku gosok, ku picit bagai...akhirnya aku rasa....I'm just not the PDA-type and thinking how i'm gonna handle it while struggling with the kids add another -ve point to it. So, no PDA for me this year (another hint tu ye yang), I'll stick to my tembun 5300 yg makin kiut sejak2 aku letak pink bear hehe

So, selfish-ness aside, I think I'll let hubby buy a more practical gift. Masa pi beli present for our neighbor's wedding, mata aku terjeling benda alah ni..

2 in 1 microwave oven, can grill oso. This gonna be my very 1st microwave ever hahaha Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah...all this while, I do all the reheating the ol skool way...steaming with the piuk kukus 2 tingkat itu.

My only worry is that, this is a tabletop unit so it's not advisable to fit it in built-in kitcab. It's due to the position of inverter or something. So I need to visualise whether I'll have enuff space to put this giant on my tabletop ( Width : 61.1cm) . Tadi sempat berYM ngan Ezzah, her version is smaller and she said as long as jaga elok2 this should last long enough but the letdown is : it takes forever to roast.

I'm gonna do some survey whether they have same model for built-in. Aku sudah jatuh chenta hahaha

Sebenarnya, ni kira ubah gaya hiduplah ni kehkehkeh, so instead of aku beli oven gabak cam Dd and another microwave to be fitted in, aku downsize selera aku and spend about 1/2 the cost. So time nak masuk umah nanti x yah dah nak beli....owh...tetiba aku rasa aku sungguh bijak dan mithali sekali...

So we'll see whether I'll get it or not (please, please)...hubby might have different ideas.

Happy Birthday Hannah

10 July 2008

Selamat hari lahir yang ke 2 sayang, Ibu & Babah love you so much...we'll be having some cakes tonight but your present will only arrive later this week.

Short one, I'm having mega headache. I'll post some pix later.

Hannah & Her Telekung

Found this in hubby's phone, bila ntah aku snap gambar ni, this girl memang susah nak snap candid, pantang zoom jek sure dia perasan...

She'll be TWO in TWO days time...

Menyetimbotkan Diri Bersama K.Eita

Few nights ago, Thursday kot, saja nak try tempat ni plak, ye la everytime nak gi beli groceries, teleng2 kepala tgk signboard cam grand hehe this outlet is in Alpha Angle area, those coming from Jln Genting Klang, just take the left turn, same direction to C4 W.Maju, this outlet is on your left, right after the turn.

Komen laterlah, tgk je la gambar ni dulu hehe

Based on tekak and sifat keibuan aku yang amat tinggi ni maka aku bolehla conclude :

0. Konsep - They have ala carte menu. Stimbot mlm jek start at 6 or 7 till 11pm, tapi x dak tempat grill tau. Brg2 bakar ada station dia kat entrance. We opted for steamboat buffet with tomyam and sup ekor (hence the name : Kak Eita Restoran Sup Ekor Stimbot), the pot divided into 2. Satu lagi sup aku lopa la, chicken soup kot..Dory sungguh la aku ni.

1. Ambience - very good, tables were spaced out generously to cater for anak2 yg jakun lasak dan bukan spesis fine-dining cam anak aku. The entrance is more like a garden, x sempat snap. Toilet clean ye puan-puan. Parking senang dpt, kami pi weekdays

2. Service - very fast and penuh sopan dan mesra, klu ko jenis yg tamak ala2 3 pinggan skali angkut, diorg offer to bring to ur table. The pot came within 5min and drinks about 10min later. That's fast. (Those with little kids will appreciate this very very much)

3. Buffet spread - quite good walaupun takde udang yg masih tergetik2 but still reasonable. medium size prawns, fish, sutun, fresh veggies and mushroom, nooddles, scallop mallop bagai x de bau, still fresh. Apalagi ek...mmm all those balls ala2 yong taufu, fried rice, few homecooked dishes, satay, rojak buah, aiskrim and fruits.

4. Price - Steamboat Buffet : Adult RM25 ; Kid RM5 (very cheap). Masuk drinks apabala sumer for 2A2K dlm RM80++

Verdict from tekakku : the soup a bit spicy and hot for kids to enjoy. Rasanya agak kureng walaupun ada dua tiga ketul ekoq dlm sup tuh, the sauce kira ok. Lepas dh rendam celup, kacau segala mcm...closing ceremony dia, masukla mee, slalunyakan by that time sup tu surely ala2 marbeles ngan mcm2 perisa, yang ni kira okla...bolehla. Adan yg suka tomyam pun x laju sgt. However, berdasarkan sebab2 nun di atas, it's worth it, kanak2 ribena suka tmpt tu. Cuma Hanis the-Perut-Melayu-Girl dissapointed that no nasik putih offerred.

Maka aku dengan ini meluluskan usul untuk membawa anak2 yg kecik tomei cam Hannah ke acara stimbot. Coca here we come again....
