MY ANNIVERSARY BOY ..

4th June … Asif Birthday! On the day itself the only action that I could think of was, sent him sms wishing him “ALLAH SELAMATKAN KAMU”…

5th June i.e. Friday, office was off replaced Agong Birthday which fall on the next day i.e. Saturday. Everyone was not at home. My dearest Hubby working, eldest daughter went to college and the other 3 of my children spent their holiday at my mom house since the school holiday started.

I decided to bake and decorate 2 cakes. Double check the item to be used for the baking project and almost everything needed for the baking & decorating, avail.

From the photo attached, the 2nd cake which was supposed to be my Anniversary cake was not decorated as what I wanted it to be. During the processed of decorating the 1st cake, I realized that the plain butter cream will not be enough for my 2nd cake. So, I combined all the cup cakes (21 pieces all together) into one. Even though the surface was not fully covered, I had tried my best to decorate it as beautiful as I could.

Happy Birthday Asif,
In this life, everything that happened have a unique symbolic meaning that we have to study in order to be a good Muslim .. Be good to your family, love us more, pray for us more ... believe me, one day you'll be someone that make us proud and hope you'll always be there for us anytime we needed you... as we always pray for you and will always be here for you....

Last but not least

"Pergi ke kedai membeli gula
Gula bernama gula Melaka
Kasih ibu bawa ke syurga
Kasih kawan masa berada"

So, happy viewing…

2ND TERM SCHOOL BREAK : POT LUCK PICNIC

7th June 09, we organized a family gathering pot luck picnic in Ulu Langat, Selangor. There were 7 families all together and everyone met up at the destination as planned. Unfortunately, three of my intermediate family members (including my sister in Langkawi) was unable to join us as they are out of town. Ulu Langat is a very popular picnic location in Malaysia especially within the Selangor area due to its origin forest and beautiful river banks.

Normally during this period, there are many people ‘hunting’ for a suitable area to have their picnic at the river bank side and the chalet will be fully booked before time. Anyway as for us, our mom cousin’s chalet makes avail for our family gathering picnic. The chalet is just beside the river, complete with the electrical facilities such as TV with Astro programme (just insert your own Astro card), kettle, fan & 1 sofa bed. The owner, Hj Ismail Basar & family welcome us as we reached to his chalet. On top of that, he & his family warmed us more by inviting all to fish at his fish pond behind his bungalow
.

The best thing was everyone brought their own dish and luckily all the dishes are variety eventhough we have not plan for what food to bring. My 2 brothers and my mom prepared fish & lamb to grill, sambal udang petai, kurma daging, special gravy to be eaten with the grill item called “penchek”, nasi impit & plain rice. Each of my three aunties prepared ‘Rojak’, Japanese food, sandwiches, fried mee hoon & coconut jelly respectively. From my family, we prepared “Asam Laksa”. We have mineral syrup sour plum for our drinks.

We had so much fun the whole day at the Lopoh River dipping & playing among family and have fun together in the river. The boys & guys went fishing later in the evening and as for us (girls & ladies), we went for an evening walk to the nearby jungle toured by Pn Ana (Hj Ismail’s wife). Meanwhile at the pond, my son managed to fished up 3 Talipia Merah which he then released it back into the pond whilst my nephew fished up 1 Haruan and he brought it back for his mom who had gift birth via operation.

As there’s still a lot of food left, Pn Ana generously cooked plain rice and all of us had dinner at the chalet before we bid goodbye to each other. They even invited us to spend a night at their chalet, but we had to take a ‘raincheck’. Furthermore, my eldest daughter will sit for the last exam paper the very next day.

On overall my husband & I personally enjoyed our day especially with the presence of all our incumbents with us, our parents, aunties, uncles, brothers, in-law plus nieces & nephews. We are very happy to see how they corporate plus taking care of each other among their siblings & cousins. In fact the elder fed food to the younger cousins as they refused to get up from the river!!

For everyone out there who would like to experience this joyful picnic place, pls call 012-3667410 for booking and information.

If you are adventurous enough, you could climb the mountain to reach the top of the waterfall which is more beautiful. According to Pn Ana, the distance to the waterfall is about 2 hours walking from her chalet
.
So, lets check it out!

HARI RAYA 2008


Though its kind of late to post this past moments into my newly created blog, but it is special for me coz I had it everything cooked by myself. Invited office colleagues and neighbours to have lunch at my house on last Hari Raya festive..

Menu on that day :
1. Nasi Jagung
2. Ayam masak merah
3. Sambal udang
4. Jelatah nenas

Probably for some of U out there, this is something very small gathering, but for me to prepare the said menu for 25 pax by myself was a challenged !!

Thank U onced again to my dearest hubby and kids for the cleaned up processed after that!!
