Water powder. still in used?

As I'm busy catching up learning with new gadgets and many other things, I frequently leave my children at mom's place for a few hours. When they come back, you will be amused with 'new thing' that they learned at grandparent's place.

One of the most common 1 is they would say: "Chiak kofee, chiak beehoon! chiak kofee, chiak beehoon" loudly. u know why? they called their grandpa's staff for coffee break... @; ) 2 loud walking speaker which running wild...

Another practise is - they asked me to apply water powder on their face whenever after bath. Kids really catch up new thing fast - both good & bad one...!

Dinner at cafe


when the little ones at their grandpa's place, we sneak to enjoy a peaceful dinner at this Little Cafe near Bayan Lepas. I ordered cornflakes chicken chop while hubby took tornado spaghetti set. this cafe promise wifi service, but the networking is protected. how to surf like that??? another promised service that never 'deliver'!

Pineapple treat

The one and only pineapple grow at our backyard. After planted it for almost 3 years, finally fruitful. in between dunno bought how many eaten liao lorr. die la if really wait for it.

It is a good experience as hubby dunno how exactly a pineapple tree bears it fruit. He initially tot that the fruit is underneath the tree. couldn't imagine....Its fruit grows on the tree as new leaves develope, but it turned out to be the fruit instead of leaves. too late, cut it out from the tree before a photo shot when it still intact to the tree.

my kids look at it as alien - poky stuff.

Irresistable Prawn

As all in my family hooked to homecook food, sometimes I'm running out of idea what to cook. Sound familiar? As I usually will buy extra ingredient to store in the fridge, prawn is one of my top choice. It's easy to prepare for a shrimp dish.

This 1 was reminded by hubby about this dish for lunch over the weekend. Cheesy look right? Because it is with cheddar cheese toppled on it : )) also one of my creativity with some fresh herb from our little backyard. coincidently my youngest brother came over and got the chance to savour this as well. After taken, one would ask for moooore....

Picnic At Teluk Kumbar Beach




This is the privilege of staying in resort island. We frequently bring our kids for nature activities. A free & eazy way is picnic. They really have fun. Look at them playing in this big pool. I just let them indulge themselves in this close to nature activities as the way I was brought up.

We usually went to the beach on Sunday morning. We did it really impromptu way without planning in advanced. Just pack & leave. Grab a few food stuff from wet market say nasi lemak, nyonya kuih and kopi, my favourite. Very very enjoyable and relaxing breathe the breeze after hectic work life. More updates on nature-fun in time to come. don't be jealous....

Denim's Bag


Went to the market and found this bag. Bought one home and started to touch up a bit onto it. This is the outcome after the make over.

aiyah... should buy a few more as it's good supply to craft, and there are a few denim colour tone as well and crafted it differently. I usually stuff it with a digital camera, a purse and a small water tumbler for my sons. Nice to carry around. And no duplication in the market! I'm proud of my artwork : ))

LadyFingers


Have you seen lady finger's plant before? This is the 1 if you haven't. They entirely 'safe' me from dining out sometimes. I will just steamed it fresh or cook with sambal belacan (shrimp paste chilli sauce). May be you can just top up with fried eggs and dinner is done in less than 30min. easy to cook ne...Fast & delicious!!! yummy.....!#@?!*

Homegrown Lime



I grow lime tree at the backyard of my house. Happy to see when it bears fruits ^_^
When want to cook canned sardine fish, this dearly fruit is a great help especially when running of out stock ...just plug it and cook fresh from tree.

Lime can be multipurpose if you know it's usage. It is a good agent to marinate in our cooking especially for meat & seafood.



Not only that, if you are hardworking enough, you can even marinate it with honey to serve as refreshing drink. See what I get : P simply cooling and 100% organic!

1st May Buffet Lunch

Our family yearly event, 1st May celebration. Wanna know how we spent our 1st May buffet for year 2008? da...da... went for buffet lunch at E & O Hotel, Penang. The hotel is at downtown Pg, refurbished from an old building site. Yet, it is situated next to seaside view. Not expensive la, as it cost around RM50+ net per adult. You can get BBQ seafood, Hainan chicken rice, sushi, noodles, laksa, tropical fruit and other oriental delights. Know what I like most, it is BBQ pineapple! Scrumptious and juicy with natural sweetness. Just marvelous.

Go la, if got the chance.
