Wordless Wednesday

Everyone can grow older, not many really want to grow up.

The Husband, HR, officially turns 26 recently.

I had to really scratch my brain to find the perfect gift to him. I already gave him all the brilliant useful gifts throughout our relationship. So hard to top myself after being lovey-dovey for so long. I am too awesome. It wouldn't be that difficult if I had all the money in the world. Lol. 

Since I couldn't really afford to buy iPhone 5S that I originally wanted to buy for him, I had to improvise. (I hate it when he glued his face to the gadgets, still I want to buy him more gadgets. Such mix signals I'm giving.)

After a while, I decided to give him 26 small tokens of turning 26.

And I concluded it would be awesome to do a treasure hunt. 

But I couldn't really hide 26 stuff in my parents' house. NOT MANY PLACES that HR is familiar with. Plus, there's too many hands that are very diligent in cleaning the house, they might just throw and ask aloud about the clues hidden.  

I chose 8 gifts with 8 places to hide for him to hunt. 8 because he is born on 8 December. (Even 12 for December is too much for me to take on. Lazy-arse).

It's not a plus side on my part since I decided this at the very last minute. Very last minute. And HR was constantly in the house. By my side. 

The smart me thought to do everything by coupons. Since I had no time and no privacy.

I made coupon for all the tokens I wanted to give him. Which he had redeemed mostly. 

He didn't suspect a thing, being clueless as he is. Which made everything a blast!

I wish as he turns 26 he will be more alert and present. 

  

       

Happy Birthday, darling!

p/s: He had to help me to buy the ingredients and also bake the cake since I forgot to bring mixer. He had to be the mixer machine for me.

Wordless Wednesday

We made that colourful cupcakes!

teh tarik satu

I love laksa. Always have always will. My mom loves laksa too. She always cooks it. Laksa becomes one of our supplement food besides nasi. She cooks the best laksa in town. I love her laksa.

Every time I wanna eat outside, I always avoid ordering laksa (if the place is selling one). I have always eaten laksa, making ordering one outside seems redundant. I always try to order food I cannot cook or something special. That's why we eat outside right.

I also feel somehow I am betraying my mom if I order or eat laksa outside. It feels like I don't give my mom enough credit of her laksa and I need to get out ordering one. Seems like I am denying her laksa of the most sedap laksa in the whole wide world. I just feel bad.

My mom never knows that of course.

I am lame.

I am in the mood to fall in love

Hang out with my great friend, Helwa today, the official beginning day of my long CNY break. She came over to my place for a chitchat before both of us pursued our journey to Pavillion. Browsing some interesting women stuff before going to lunch. Had long delicious lunch and continued our shopping spree.

These are some of the food we ate, they were so much more. So many stories were shared. Not so much gossip. I managed to spend wisely. Cheeerios me!!

Come hang out with me.

p/s: I think in that picture Helwa is experiencing somewhat sugar high moment due to all the sweetness that she consumed and the sweetness around her (me la!).

It has been long due.

Here in my heart

I am safely in my cocoon now. Home sweet home.

Arrived safely last night. Saw my mom's sweet face first after scrunching my eyes. Yup, I'm that rabun and that lazy to reach for my spectacles. Only after a while I saw more familiar faces. Arif, Nana, Roja, Ejat and Jai ofkos. Then, we head to KMB to visit my brother who is preparing for exams.

Yes, my dad had prepared KFC for me earlier and I had my dinner again there (apparently, the MAS flight has feed us but I need more). Lovely surrounding and faces. Great chat and catch up.

I couldn't help myself and finally admits defeat and said to them, "PANAS AH!!" They just laughed and honour me the front seat of the car to be closer to the aircond. (Kesian kot dok tgk aku mengibas baju je).

Come set date with me so we can catch up.

Can't wait for the Hari Raya

Haish~

I jinx my possibilities in a month-full fasting as I mentioned it too early in my blog. Now, I no longer can.

Succeeded making my one kuih raya dis year. Just one.

Eaten most of them while doing it in noon

p/s: So comel when somebody searched at Google for cupcake raya and got misled to my blog instead.

Of Tortilla Wrap and Tyra Banks

I'm loving my new lifestyle. The one that I abide to my alarm clocks. It never work before. But nowadays I can find myself reaching out to the alarm and shut it off, take few turns in my lovely duvet and opened my eyes slowly. Especialy time sahur. No one has to kejut me anymore.


I am used to wake up at 4.30ish for my sahur. Hang awhile before Subuh prayers around 5.15ish and only then slowly drifted back to dreamland or just watch stuff on laptop until next agenda on the list.

At 4.30am, TV2 provides Trya Shows. Which is not my favourite thing in the world, but cool enough. As I munch my food, I just nod along with whatever topic she discuss. Some are interesting and some are just lauhing materials to accompany me eating.

Interestingly today, as I flick my TV on, Tyra shows just ended (at 4.28ish). I thought maybe Tyra Show is back to back. To my surprise, it is NOT!

4.30am today, TV2 shows some bible theme story. I was furious. Haish. Bosan betol.

I just listen to this guy preaching about the fifth or was it sixth commandment : Respect your parents. Nasib baikla tajuknya menarik. I just watch here and there. It discusses about the length of how and why you should respect your parents, nothing that I don't know.

Luckily, my sahur meal was delicious. Tortilla wrap. A bit cold as it was prepared around 9.00pm last night. With hot hot nescafe. I got the perfect meal while I continue flicking the channel to find more cool stuff to watch.




I decided to blog to avoid from sleeping before Subuh. Which I succeded. Baru je azan Subuh. YES!

Off to my prayer.

Sugar Rush

Last nyte, UMSA held a dessert night. It was so gorgeous. The food. The location. The people. The surrounding. It was superb. There were just so many cakes and cheeses and tarts to choose from. Everything is just delicious. The sweetness was non-stop. I had a blast. It was definitely worth it.

I am a lucky girl. I celebrated my birthday a few times this year. Once with friends in Brisbane where they held a surprise party for me, in which I screamed, of course. (I am such a drama queen). There were cakes and candles and gifts. I heart them for that. In Sydney, Mard made people sang Birthday song to me again. On the night that I first arrived in which she held a makan-makan, read here.

Back in Auckland, Mas bought me another cake. Yummy. And blew some more candles. Sang more birthday songs. I was surprised by their effort. I was even more surprised seeing my mom 's gift, including her own made card. That was just so sweet. I am thankful receiving their presents. I love every single thing.

I am one lucky girl.

This time around, I just like to share one of HR's present for me for my birthday. He gave me one CD containing few songs that he wrote. (Not all songs spesifically for me). The CD include cover and leaflets. Cute meh. So, I made an effort to design a not-so-cheesy video for the song.

I really love the piano on this song. The lyrics are not at all cheesy. Just a simple song. Go on. Have a listen.

Bunga Raya Bunga Kebangsaan

Me and some friends went out last night to watch ALL BLACKS in action. It was so weird listening to other countries’ national anthem being played out loud before the game. Other people singing on top of their lung. Happy people singing. Proud. It seemed a bit different though. It made me miss Malaysia even more. Malaysian anthem is so cool. That made me recall the very first day I stepped to Auckland’s earth. The very first thing Nisah said to me was, “Look. New Zealand flag.” I looked up and saw the flag waving. It too made my stomach twist. It felt different. No moon on the flag. No red lines that I grew accustomed to. Or that tricky star that is very difficult to draw.

I miss Malaysia. I do.

The weather.
The food.
The people.
The shopping complex.
The affordable stuff.
THE FAMILY I left behind.

Oh, btw, it was a great game. They even won against Wallabies. Yay for them.

Kepuasan

Oh.

Dah lebih lima belas bulan tak makan KFC dan McD. Akhirnya, berjaya!

Di Australia. Jauh aku mengembara mencari makanan.

Mard and Zaim kata, seronok tengok aku makan KFC. Macam bagi makan kepada kanak-kanak kebuluran. Hahaha.

Mungkin lusa aku bakal menjamah Opporto pula.

Tat Teloq

I've been wanting to make egg tart for sometime now. I even bought the suitable baking tray. When Ten was here in Auckland, she kept insisting me to bake it before she went back. I'm sorry darling, I'm so lazy.

Mint went to Rotorua and bought me a gift. Another baking tray. YAY!!

So, yesterday, I made egg tart.

The tarts were a bit "bantat" but still delicious.

Mesti my mom bangga dengan anak dara nya yang sorang ini - perasan.

the day I started my non-stop-munching

I guess lately I've been posting lotsa pictures in my blog. I loike it. Even more than words. I guess, just like the saying of pictures speak louder than words. So, more pictures. Also, maybe because lately I felt a bit photogenic and self-esteem dah meningkat sedikit.

So, to the main point.

Last Tuesday, me and HR went to Morningside to pick up my two parcels. They actually sent the parcels twice already but I was not home (they managed to send them everytime when I got classes going on).

Oh, I love the sight of both parcel that I received. Both are filled with kerepek.

Kerepek idaman. Kerepek sukun. Kerepek keladi. Yay!!

HR's mom and Mard both send me kerepek. Oh, actually, I requested it. From Mard and HR. But due to technical issues, HR only managed to send it through his mom's help.

Here are the pictures..

Parcel dari Aussie

Udara Aussie dan Kerepek Kegemaran.
Oh juga sekeping surat chenta.

Berdengkilah~
Udara Malaysia sedikit. Tiada gambar Parcel sebelum terbuka
kerana diriku begitu rakus membukanya.

Thanks Mard. Thanks makcik.Muah2

p/s: I know I shouldn't put my picture eating those great kerepek.

One for the crowd

I was just thinking as I cooked yesterday’s lunch, “What if I use Fish Curry Powder to cook Chicken curry? Or vice versa.” I mean, is that a big deal? Would it make much different? Kurang sedapkah rasanya?

Well, I wouldn’t know. Not that I have much money to spend on experimenting stuff like that. I mean, kalo tak sedap, bukan ke membazir segala ayam itu. Ah!

Anyway, I thought about this kinda stuff because, I actually forgot which one of the two bottles of curry powder is for chicken. I kinda put the powder in bottles without labeling them. And it has been a while since I cook.

Since I move to Volt and started to work, I rarely cook.

Oh, my lunch was so supersedap that Mas ate a lot. Pure satisfaction.

Impulse buying

class was finish for the day. so lazy to go home to emptiness. went to UBS book store at Uni. Bought two books. Why? No reason. The book 'Lolita' is just to cute to resist. The title I mean. Oh, the cover too. The other book was just Shakespeare book. Always wanted to read more of his books.

Moving on to Library, where I am now. Wiki the 'Twelfth Night' synopsis. Seemed cute enough. I've no idea when to read them. Got another assignment to submit next week.

Too cute to resist. Cute enough to fill my shelf.

Later, going to Ten's. To taste the brownie Acap made for her. Maybe force her to cook lunch for me.
