our deepaVALI BREAKfast {cheese BAKE macaroni}

i’ve been craving to do this recipe  n on these PH i hv e’ opportunity to do it. day before, after work me n mr hub went to bakery store to purchase some bakery ingredients espc cheese – e’ price is a bit cheaper compared to shopping mall market cheese. after few search on e’ recipe..i manage to do this for breakfast…mr hub love it so much n so do me. i used cheddar cheese in e’ white sauce n parmesan cheese sprinkled on top. yum yum….

for lunch we went to BBQ party organize by my tmn community…so masa utk bersosial dgn neighbours….

wif e’ new TEMPLATE

i’m feel GOOD :) !!

really feel good wif this new template..puas cari new template simple n mnarik hati wif color2 ceria n most important FREE beb…finally dpt juga. hehehe hati berbunga riang…however bila tgk posting lama2 ada ler yg lari skit dr format skrg espc  gambar..erm juz ignore it..kalu dipk kan mmg x suka…mencik sgt tgk gambar n aturan text x standardized tu…tp nak buek camna…yg penting future posting mnarik udah ler…

need more time to godek2 smula few widget, info n link yg hilang…huhu..masa mai ler bg aku peluang even now mmg bz dgn kerja.

MAI ler… ;) masa oh masa..(masa tu kna cari sdiri OK!)

FLYIng to JKT – family vacation

tomorrow i’m off to jkt wif beloved parents and sis family for 4days 3 nite jer– all of us is 5 adults n 3 kids. i’m going to be tourist guide bidan terjun…haha. mr hub is not following due to some reasons..pity me..sob sob :( even this is only my 2nd time to jkt…after 5yrs. boleh ker??

btw i hv to learn more independent coz lot of things u can learn for being independent..1st of all u can build up ur confidence level, ur courage sensibility, ur needs of responsibility n finally u become more clever n creative  bcoz u always think all e’ time..thinking of how to survive, how to solve, how to do n get better result ….betul tak?? hehe sdiri ckp utk kasi smangat kat diri sdiri…

dgn issue x betul baru2 ni tentang pengambilan tanah di kalimantan tu…aku ada risau juga..jgn ler merebak n berpanjangan…seriau dgn smangat org indon ni kekadang…e’ very sensitive n main kasar type of people..smua pun gila2 punya action.

however i hv arrange all before going there..bcoz this is a trip wif kids n elderly people…dun want to go thru lots of hassle…must smooth n prepared. waiting, walking n wandering is not a good idea…time is precious..must fully utilised.

therefore as usual i hv book the hotel – rm385/4days 3 nite (2 rooms to accommodate 8 of us..bleh ker? main sumbat2 lar..hopefully pihak hotel not so strict..pray to ALLAH..amin)

transport – toyota innova for 3 full days, 1 return airport transfer = Rp2.250k (RM801.00)..mahal tak? erm for me ini ler rate plg murah dpt frm my long past fren who has married wif local i'sia girl n staying there till now – mr BOBOT (Azman Zakaria), coz dah survey ada yg charge shari Rp750k n RM400 per day….huh…beno2 kena tekan rasanya…..padahal kami cuma bgerak around jkt city jer..x pergi pun puncak or bandung tu….huhu (sesapa nak pergi jkt..nak cari supir bleh ctct me kalu nak details mr BOBOT ni…he is m’sian people mcm kita juga).

itenary – since ada bawa bebudak ni, plan nak pi lar Tmn Ancol tu on 2nd day n 3rd day tmn mini indonesia…n balance of e’ day is at shopping spot – Tanah Abang n Mangga Dua. itu jer stakat ni dlm kpala…ooo yer not to forget Tugu Monas kan…pi ler tgk last time juz pass by jer..

                              

this time around x bawa byk pulus ($)..x sampai Rp 2 juta pun budegt aku tuk bershopping + transportation….jd ler…jamu mata n beli yg penting2 n yg berkenan jer. itu pun baru tukar rm500..lg rm200 tukar kat sana coz dompet mcm dah tebal..takut lak.

semuga trip ni berjaya n selamat pergi, semasa n balik…AMIN!!

DO..DO..my DOUGHnut…

my own version of doughnut…recipe frm mr hub inherit frm MIL…bg sepinggan kat jiran sblah..edap lembut katanya…hehehe hati udah berbunga tp almaklum baru lpas goreng kan..cuba tgk after 1 hr…btw still ok lembutnya..mr hub habis dlm 7ketul..me 2 ketul pun dah kenyang..not my fav..

cuba compared dgn dunkin donut?? wink..wink

big apple??  huhu lari jauh..espc bab deco2 mrk…jauh panggang dr api…. :( rasa pun kalah kot..apa2 pun mine no preservatives food add on ok..itu jer yg bleh bg credit pun…almaklum sdiri buatkan..

nxt weeknya plak try buat pau sardin using e’ same dough recipe…ok ler..

intai2 warna CERIA kamar

weekend is e’ most waiting day among other days..believe me..its a resting time wif a fun activities of ours..n i believe same goes to others out there. me n mr hub would love to experiment things during our free time such as cooking, gardening n for few last weekend we plan for painting our room. me was given e’ opportunity to choose e’ color n i love pink but it seems not fair to mr hub..e’ color so feminine..therefore i try to find soft color fall under both of us liking – purple lavender/lilac..here we go..we choose lite n contrast one for e’ feature wall.

                         

i wish our room will be like those any one of the pictures below..can ah??? hehehe in my dreams…all those pictures has been touch up wif lighting n what so call photoshop editing to show e’ best n nicer view only, PLUS e’ furniture is super new n gorgeous…envy deh!!

so e’ outcome is as below….huhu…jd ker?

apa2 pun thanx to mr hub yg berpenat lelah mengecat tp credit x bleh bg sepenuhnya coz masa ni blum siap habis mengecat smua..ada few wall yg masih x bercat…huhu

**(biasa ler..kerja ikut mood n kaw rangkuman luas maka..masa hangat2 tu mmg ler..tp bila dah cool down..nak perhabis mcm org berchienta..payah giler!! TENSE jer..ni dah masuk 3 weeks terbengkalai kes ni..camna..nampak gaya aku ler kena perhabis n push mr hub utk menamatkan adengan conteng menconteng ni, tools smua terperuk selonggok kat living area atas…huuh)

ITALYian dishes..

as per informed earlier for our little invitation cum small open house – we hv decided to hv an italian menu..so e’ menu are fettuccini carbonara, spaghetti Bolognese, pizza, fruit cocktail n ribena as a drink. simple only….but almost end of e’ day I still need to fried some bee hoon due to my fettuccini finish before my indian fren-MANI is coming….she not eating meat that is e’ reason y I’m preparing e’ menu (my 1st trial too) but e’ menu get a great sambutan frm e’ guest…finish early… hehe n huhu at e’ same time bleh? kena masuk dapur again n masak…lucky I hv seafood pizza to top up wif e’ fried bee-hoon…huhu ksian my dear fren Mani..sorry for e’ simple dish.

however me forgot to snap a picture for all my dishes prepared that day…well hv few but in blur captions…tiring of cooking lead me to no mood to do all e’ photography session..rather to sit down n chit chat wif my guest n entertain them…lg bagus n afdal kan..plus slalu kuar masuk dapur..basuh membasuh apa yg patut…if not sapa mau buat…ha kjang kaki jap..so for advice if buat open house mmg ler patutnya org pakai polisterine/paper plate yeerk..

guest start coming around 3pm after friday prayer n finish at night around 11pm..lucky its my BIL..so still ok…coz do not hv to entertain them much…juz play a lot wif my nieces…

so this is my 2011 menu invitation for raya….erm bleh ar, but at last I realize I’m not even test e’ fettuccini carbonara…hwa..wa..wa … herm x per ar..yg penting tetamu dpt mkn..n makanan cukup…tuan umah nak mkn buat smula yerk.
