Longing...etc, etc...

My phalaenopsis beautifully blooming.

Asalamualaikum..
Updating my blog in a peaceful atmosphere, with a cup of camomile tea..would love to share and ramble a bit in here. Temperature was quite warm feeling sticky and masham.. unlike what I heard from the other side of the world that has been freezing cold. And the person I know who is enjoying the cold weather now is my dearest sister Leeza who is in Europe. Not only the snow excite her but the shopping spree...hmm, happiness. Shop till you drop, girl!!

The news of water cut in the Klang Valley is making everyone stress again..
I had stored water since yesterday. Bought extra pails and one big plastic container that cost me double than the last time I bought. Do hope it won't take too long to get our supply back...wahai Syabas!

I big basin of water gone.. cooking these two simple menus for lunch today

Macam selalu..I wanted to type days or weeks ago..but was busy like a bee. Father in law got admitted.. urgently went back to hometown. Chauffuered Hb to Hospital thru and fro while finding time to be with my Mum, dad and family...and the next thing.. we were back to KL. Oh, time and days are getting shorter, tick tock tick tock it's already end of the year.
And just days before that,we had been tied up with my eldest Son who finally  moved out into his new house. Sob sob sob, ever to remind of him not being under the same roof anymore makes me sad. Now and then, I would peeped into his room and missing him.. what Mum cannot do for her children? what more to help him start his new life. It took me weeks to sort out and settled his things, hoping what I had prepared will be easier for him. He's a grown man now, he should be able to take care of himself..insyallah.
And when weekend comes...with no hesitation I would prepare food a little extra .. my son was home and we had meal together like we used to. Few stages in life when bringing up our kids...redho with what happened and learn to let go.

Last weekend, the early week of December we had a small Birthday celebration in the house ..my 2nd son Syaf's birthday. I had baked him Cheesecake with Cherry sauce topping, Meat Loaf and Mash Potato.



My heart melted having to watch my family eating together again seated on their favorite chair. I was emotionally touched...*sensitive old woman* Can't helped it..but to wipe my tears away..
And to my dear Syaf..Happy Birthday Son, may Allah bless you always and many many more birthdays together. May you be a good Muslim and a good son to us.

The lack of exercise has make me feeling lazy, tired and always lying on the sofa with iPad in my hands..very bad. I always thought doing house chores and good diet are good enough to be fit. Totally I am wrong..you need to stretch out and sweat.. and gain my stamina.
I don't stress myself with the house chores anymore..everything can wait..no need to be a Kitchen Goddess..exercise exercise, here I come. Health is wealth. Bare that in mind.

Food ..

All in one pan...Magic Pan. Easy to prepare food

Love, love Salad or kerabu..easy and healthy

When the crave for Curry Mee, I got so energetic at my Kitchen

..and this I made from scratch, Tosai with Mint and Coriander Chutney

and Potato Masala.

These little cuties spend a night at my place. They belong to my
dear niece Ida from Perak



..and so cooked this for dinner on Sunday.

While we were in Ipoh, Perak, after settling the in laws, we went out for some coffee. We went to Plan B..nice place. Love to share some pictures here..

The dressing of this Salad was too strong from the vinaigerette and cheese
I ended with a runny tummy

Nice Latte.

Hb, enjoying the Cheesecake

The toilet I loike the most!

Most of the time, my Hb makes my life easier...muah, muah, muah! Either simple cooking in the house or lunch outside. Night time, should be retiring ourselves from the day's work, resting and do what is right as a good muslim.

Only be aware of the food we ordered..but not as easy as we thought..*tengok food dah terjebak* and then, feeling guilty the whole day.

At Bubba Gump Citta Mall on Saturday.

Last but not least..
Mum with friends...Masquerade for Dina's Birthday, Subang.

Dina

Adios for now! Hoping to a new post before the New Year!
