And so...life is such

Asalamualaikum..and Happy Sunday everyone!
Here I am making a comeback. After a long break biasa lah terhegeh2 typing for words and took me days. Seriously i missed blogging writing my heart out..hahaa!

This Raya Korban had been a very quiet one but for the company of my Nephew Taqi and family celebrating with us. I cooked Kabsah Rice, Daging Dendeng, Chicken Pie and Chocolate Ganache Cake loaded with Chocolates Maltesers and Snickers. Oh my! I was as excited as the young kiddos *cucu* and my kids too, picking the chocolates... berebut2 and filled it up again...fun. The cake was moist and not too sweet. Not only it looks so inviting but the Chocolates was yummeh!!

 Handful with Calories..Chocolate Malteser Cake


Days had gone by faster than you ever notice. Bila you tersedar.., it's already a new week. It frightened me at times...Getting old and tired... life is short. You wished sometime that you could go back to the past and replaced what was not right.
I have been keeping busy with my house chores... the cleaning is an endless job.  Good exercise getting up on my feet..instead of resting my butt playing iPad the whole time...hehe *my favorite  pastime*  Spring cleaned my house, the cupboards esp and felt good after that..looking at the pots, pans and plates arranged neatly. So..my day is made.
Who actually care about the chores more than I do?? No one.,huhu. And I had adjusted my schedule much to my own comfort. But still at time I got berserk ever to cross into the wrong rooms..the boys, siapa lagi...very stressful!! I can't helped myself for blowing my temper and cooled downed  as soon I got it out. That's how it goes in our everyday life. Until the day they leave you to start their own. And that you shall miss what we had shared living together...and then regret! Because you thought you can do better....and so, life is such!

Three Musketeers in the house with our baby girl. Still mengangur.. loves hanging under Mum and Papa's arms. Time flies..it was like yesterday dotting her and had watched her grow. Grooming my girl the way I wanted her to be..like Barbie doll, but then,...never easy. She always has a mind of her own. She has her own style and colors *very boring, black, brown and white* I could not believe that she's all grown up and starting to be so confident in every ways. And soon..will begin another stage in life...my baby girl.
While loving each other, things can get sour...haha...getting her to help out was a nightmare.. She wants to enjoy every bit of time relaxing in her room. Ya, I guess she's right..once she started working life, there is no relax.. like home.  


Working in the garden is the best place to be. It ease the stress in my mind, body and soul. My plants are healthy and it pleases me a lot. Seeing them grow it's like bringing up kids. Hahah! teruknya.. More or less there are similarity....  feeling of love while feeding/watering...seeing them grow the best feeling I could not described.

 Can't wait for this darling orchid to bloom

And this Dancing lady is also flowering..happy!


Lime is flowering..

My papaya tree from seed to a tree and now standing tall, tapi sedih.. tak gemuk. So as Herbs I planted from a pile of stems basil/daun kesum pricked into the soil and within a week it grew steadily. Then plucked and ate it raw or as kerabu *salad*...happiness.

Ulam Raja

Pepermint leaves..it's not Pudina, very minty, tasted more or less like Colgate
,
Daun Selom, plucked from the garden and served as Kerabu *salad*

Food...anywhere, anytime and anything *of course halal ok* We jalan2 cari makan..when the mood strike.. I put on my apron and started Kung Fu with the Pots and Pans.

And Wallah, I made this.. Very fond of laksa...that was Laksa Nyonya

 Also fond of bread too, Sandwiches

 And this for the sweet tooth when the mood is right.

When that was heavy! Chilli Crab..

 ..Salad was prepared after having those sinful food...guilty as charged!

Outing..
..will  ease your tiredness and stressful body through laughter with the right company..

True friends will make you smile and be there when you need them.


 Sharing and caring not only with food but anything without reservation..
Request and help with be given.

Unlike Coffee.. it makes me bloated but still I cannot say No!
Ish ish ish..life is such!


Adios for now....will be back! In Sya Allah.

  1. Salam AidilAdha & salam rindu juga bagi sis Iha... sekian lamanya Ratna menanti perkembangan berita/khabar darinya sis Iha dan voilĂ ... gambaran taman yang senantiasa galak berbunga indah, tumbuhan ulam-ulaman yang dipetik terus dari halaman dengan magic-nya berhidang segar didalam sebuah mangkuk sebagai santapan bersama seisi keluarga... adore sekali dengan pelbagai gambaran hidangan makanan yang diperagakan...

    Setidaknya disana setelah penat diusir oleh kerjaan rumah boleh sahaja bertemu janji dengannya Ratu-ratu semua ditempat happening sambil menghirup secawan coffee yang berlikaran cantik... nanti-nanti boleh Ratna menyelit diantara sekalian semua? Insya'Allah semoga kesampaian juga akhirnya...

    Salam mesra semanis madu.

  2. Wkmslm Ratna..
    Lama sangat ditinggalkan blog ni. Masa sungguh tak mengizinkan. Tambah pulak
    bila bergarden, berjam jam. Bagaimana pulak tanaman Ratna? Geram bila tengok daun lettuce yg
    bermacam jenis tu.
    Bersantai dengan kenkawan cuma sekali sekal sekiranya ada masa terluang..
    Ohh, silakan kita sekiranya Ratna menyelit bersama kami...In sha Allah siap atau kan..satu hr nanti.
