<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We saw a bit more than in Korea and Singapore safaris. Particularly the elephants. You can do elephant rides,(we didn't do), at additional fee.. exhorbitant.. but the biggest turn off is the smell ..my god..does it smell..the elephant lair stinks to high heaven...pening kepala...lari masuk kedai souvenier!</span><br />

We're going for some physical challenge activity. Water rafting in Bali. I hope it isn't too tough. I hope it's wild at the same time. Enough to pump adrenalin and to remember it as one of the best experience we've had together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The place is <b>Ayong Jeram</b>, about 2 hours drive from where we stay.</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We checked out from our hotel in Kuta and moved to Seminyak, just to experience a different area. Here , we checked in to a beautiful villa.
All the villas are beautiful here. Ala tropical heaven
romantic-honeymoon-set palace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">La Dolce Villa. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s a bit secluded, away from the noisy
street shops and hawkers. Situated within a cluster of villas at Gang Baik-Baik
area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We were greeted by the villa manager, a French lady, Ms
Sandrine. She speak a little Bahasa Indonesia having lived in Bali for 3 years. She handed us the keys, a local cellphone , assigned us some helpers
and that was it. She said she wont bother us at all until we leave unless we contact
her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We contacted once to complain the non-functioning
aircon in the boys room and the microwave oven that trip the power when
switched on. She sent men to fix it the same day. Other than that, we were
plain sailing.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We love that the villa has WiFi. The living room has DVD and CD
player. The kitchen is well equipped and well stocked. Gallons of purified
drinking water provided. Bath towels aplenty. Also top marks for quality
mosquito nets and efficient room design. We didn’t get mosquitos. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Last time when we stayed at another villa, the
mosquitos were such nuisance. Though we reported to the management and they 'treat' the area, the mosquitos still there and if I'd dare say it actually got worst. In the end we had to buy aerosol and used it vigorously every night. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">After dropping our luggage and briefly admiring the rooms, we went out to stock up some more groceries. Sandrine only provided western diet, we need to buy rice and onions. (I'm happy I didn't forget to bring along perencah and some canned food).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Our guide tried to squeeze in some sightseeing (to make a full day ride) before returning us back to the villa. The kids however having seen the pool, were restless and itchy to skip the tour and back to the house. (<i>lepas ni pi mana..lepas ni pi mana..balik?). </i>We got as far as Nusa Dua (a private beach) and Padang-Padang (another beach where Julia Robert filmed Eat,Pray,Love) before relenting and told the guide <i>Tak apalah pak..kami mau balik saja..</i></span></div>

much fun. The dad maybe less so since he accidentally got his iphone in the

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Air Asia opened its KK-Bali starting July and hubs thought it
perfect for a group family holiday. He got us on November trip after the school
hols and asked me to campaign for the others to join. What he and I overlooked
was, there were still major exams to be sat by our nieces (his included), until
end of November. Bummer. No one could join us. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I was then a bit sceptical about how the children were going
to like the trip. The last trip in April, (sans kids), we enjoyed the beach, the busy street ,
the heavenly massage experience, some scenery out of town and the villa where
we stayed. I doubt the kids enjoy the
same thing, save maybe the villa. So here’s what we planned- repeat the villa
and mix in some fun day outings
specifically for the kids. We were strongly recommended by the guide to try
Waterbom, a water park at Kuta. Nobody been there and not enjoy it even if they’re
not into water. He also recommended safari park, dolphins watching, turtle
island, snorkelling, water walking, water rafting, ..among others. We were
staying 7 nights so we chose 2 more activites beside Waterbom and settled for
water rafting and safari park. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The first day we arrived it drizzled. Same as back home,
year end is the wet season, <i>musim
tengkujuh.</i>The kids spent the day at Waterbom with their dad, while I took
mom-in-law to the mall to escape the rain. She got some shopping done at Batik
Keris. I showed her the beach behind Discovery Mall when the rain stopped. I
always love the boardwalk. There are sceneries and surroundings that never quite
captured into still photos with the same effect.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It rained again some after
we got back to the hotel and steadily grew heavier through the night. Oh-oh. Is this going to be a ruined holiday?.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

Health and happiness for my youngest son. He is 10. We had the party the day before polling as he insisted to not postphoning it another week. Nasib baik kek sudah sedia awal. He is crazy about Chelsea. Stencilling the logo from fondant is all I could think of. Not that great looking but he appreciates my effort and likes it. Bless him.<br />

My son did us proud, coming top of the year for his school in the Seminar PMR KRK and Top 2 from overall 5 schools of Pantai Barat. I hope he maintains the pace for the real deal in October. Oooo.. nda lama lagi tu kan..aku pula yang kecut perut.<br />
<br />
My prayers everyday are always , safe and success for my kids , blessed life for all my family and may we not stray from Allah's path. Mudah-mudahan.

He told me he missed it because he got the time wrong and they changed the venue. That made me feel bad, i would have waited a bit and ring up his coach for him had i been there. Fortunately it turned out, the match was a friendly so no foul.<br />
<br />
Today they played against Tunas Menggatal and won. I don't remember the score. I can't wait for this tournament to be over. It's rainy season and he's constantly coughing and sneezing from training in the rain so much. His voice is croaky. Today he told me he wants to quit the Choir because he's losing his voice. I didn't tell you he's in the school choir too, did I? He got many different interests, this boy. Football player....singer....and later, maybe, he told me..ustaz. Hmm no comment.<br />
<br />
I was also anxious for my other son, si Abang who was away in Membakut for Seminar PMR. He got back a day after we did. He passed with flying colors, alhamdulillah. A special PMR camp for KRK school Zon Pantai Barat. He came out top for his school, and second overall from 5 schools of Pantai Barat. Congratulations my boy and well done. (And..yes ..i know i promised..you will get your new handphone..).<br />
<br />
What about the daughter, you ask? The least active in school. She doesn't care much for co-curriculum or sports or persatuan. Academic pun so-so ..i could only identify one clear interest of her so far, that is shopping. Dear me.. She has a school trip coming up in June to KL and she's excited. I hope she learns something other than shopping.fabmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15373033385759477864noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262492045283087195.post-77412557845669045812013-04-23T11:55:00.002+08:002013-04-23T12:41:31.212+08:00Beautiful BaliFor our 16th anniversary this year, we honeymooned in Bali.<br />

Selepas saja check-in ada complementary foot massage. Awesome or what?<br />

Did I say the beach is 2 seconds away and it's fantastic. It's not white sandy like what we're used to, here the sand is black due to volcanic effect. But the wave perfect for surfing , the beach stretches forever and the sunset beautiful. I can see why my friend Gina likes to come here, being the outdoorsy, sunset girl she is. <br />
There's so many tourists here, SO many, all year round. Australians are so lucky. Qantas fly direct from Perth to Bali, only takes 3 hours and Perth-Bali is cheaper than Perth-Sydney. Add to that, their big currency. They could probably live on 50 AUD for a week here.<br />

Bali is home to temples. Lots of temples. The people predominantly Hindu and ritual observing. If I have a complaint, it's the smell of incense everywhere. In the hotel reception, in the mall by the cashier, in the taxi. There's no getting away. I should bring a mask next time.<br />
<br />
Having said that there's no problem getting halal food here. Not in Tanah Lot though. In the city, yes. Fast food in the mall is generally halal. And there are many Indonesians from outside Bali touring here too , Jakarta and all.<br />

We miss Bali Galeria, the biggest mall in Bali, because no taxi driver keen to go there due to renovation work ongoing at the highway.<br />
<br />
Three days isn't enough to enjoy Bali. We had 5 days but we travel via Jakarta so minus journey days. Good news is there is direct flight soon from KK to Bali (why didn't it happen then..). There are a lot of fun stuffs for family, for kids. The Water Bomb (something like water world) sounded great. In the city, walking distance from where we stay. So maybe another time. Maybe.<br />

<br />
except footballer son, the rest of my kids are still at their grandma's. we got there wednesday only for Helmi to announce the coach confirmed a match on Saturday, a game match not a friendly so he needed to be back on Friday. he is in another tournament, Junior KK League. his team is Sporting Kinabalu FC, consisting of St Agnes plus All Saints under 13 players. they're still in the first round, and doing not too bad, won 3 out of 4 matches so far. he was actually required to come for daily training during the school break, but we thought we pulled him out for a bit rest case he burnt out. he's been home late after school EVERY day from training since 2 months ago and then there's the game every Saturday.<br />
<br />
yesterday's game was entertaining. normally i didn't stay. i send him an hour early (as required by coach) and come back half hour into the game but since i don't have the other kids errand to bother me, i stayed and watch the earlier game while my son and his mates do warm up. i was enjoying the match ,both teams were good when an injury happened. this boy did a backflip and landed on his wrist. oh god. small relief it's the left hand but that hand went limp and the agony on his face just...poor lad. i'm not too sure, either he tore a ligament or something (is there ligament in the wrist?) or crack a bone because he needed a sling right away before he could get up and whisked to the hospital. <br />
<br />
so ofcourse i quickly tell son he needn't need do that, <em>tidak payah lipat macam sepaktakraw tendang</em> <em>biasa ja</em>..<br />
they were up against the Rhinos. <em>waaa..takutnya nama</em>...but alas the name don't live up. they crashed Rhinos Junior 6-0. To be fair this Rhinos physique is nothing remotely like rhino. they're so small they look like 8 yo instead of under 13. (reminds me of their first match 3 months ago against Tabs..it was lopsided like that). little rhinos..i guess they do have the spirit..they're fighters, never giving up even tho they were losing and a couple of them got real skills. only they can't get past the tall and big defenders from All Saints. it was very exciting to watch them play. 2 of their players are twins, one is Abang, one is Kembar. and both skilled players. cute and skilled.<br />

Kejohanan Bolasepak Bawah 12 tahun MSSD Zon Likas telah berlangsung pada 5-6 Februari di Padang SRK Lok Yuk.<br />
<br />
They trained intensively for 4 weeks at school and I think last week match against TABS (which they fared horribly) was the only friendly away game they could squeeze in before the tournament start. Don't ask me what TABS stand for. Sampai sekarang aku inda tau. Tg Aru Boys kali..<br />
<br />
Tapi faced with other schools yang sama amateur macam dorang, it's a more balanced match and real competition. The first day, they played 4 matches, dari 9.00 pagi sampai 4.30 petang in which they managed 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 lost and proceeded to semi final. Sehari di padang, balik punya hitam. Hangus bah, nampak mata saja.<br />
<br />
Second day, semi final against SK Likas A. (Ada SK Likas A dan SK Likas B). This one was a shocker. SK Likas A expected to win and they were the reigning champion for many years. Cara main pun nampak pro, tapi nasib tak menyebelahi. Selepas seri tanpa gol, dorang kalah dalam penalty kick.<br />
<br />
So tanpa disangka-sangka St Agnes mara ke final melawan SRK Lok Yuk.<br />
DAN...walaupun seluruh sekolah Lok Yuk berhenti belajar dan bersorak untuk home team tetapi tetap Lok Yuk gagal menjaringkan gol walaupun beberapa cubaan baik, sebaliknya midfielder St Agnes berhasil menjaringkan gol. Itu pun tanpa sengaja, sebenarnya dia mau pass, tapi terus masuk gol. Boleh?<br />
<br />
Memang nasib sangat berpihak pada dorang di samping dorang main pun not bad juga.<br />
Tahniah, tahniah, tahniah to the team and my son Helmi who helped making SRK ST AGNES juara.<br />

<br />
The kids school is hectic and the calendar says this is going on up to February. Co-cum and sports, every day through Saturday.<br />
<br />
My youngest son makes the school soccer team. Today they play their first match after 2 weeks forming the team. Against an experienced under 13 club. They were wiped out. They look pathetic and cute at the same time. They are so small and scrawny and way off the league of the opponents who some are already in Form 1 (but not yet 13). Helmi is the smallest and the youngest. Most his mates are 12, he is 10. His jersey is hanging off him like a dress... comical. Honestly they got a long way to go (way way long) but it's a good exposure and experience. Playing more real matches like this will pay.<br />
<br />
We are getting a new neighbour. They have taken over the house for months (maybe a year already) but were stalling with the renovation. They chopped off the trees, pulled away the fence and stop. For months. I thought they changed their mind and give up the place. Then they came back, hacked off the roof and the wall and then stop again for weeks. All of a sudden, yesterday they came with a crane and went all out , all day, pulling the house apart, banging everything right down to the ground. Nothing left. We have an empty field on our left side. I can see that pink house at the other side of the road from my bedroom window. As much as I'm curious how the next structure will take shape,(I heard they're planning to build 3 small houses in that plot of land), I realize this means a lot of noise is ahead. As it is, feels like there's a quarry factory operating next door. Looks like migraine medication on the ready.<br />
<br />
Wishing you guys a happy weekend. Until later.<br />

It's a different crowd in Penampang, at another sis house where we held it. The ones who purchased most are maids from the housing area, shopping for christmas. And these maids' networking is very impressive. They're so quick.<br />

Where we waited for hours at our previous sale for the first customer, this time around, we weren't finished putting up items they had shown up at the gate. These are pro at bargain hunting from the way they quickly pick out the best, mostly clothes ( in about 20 seconds), pleaded early bird markdowns and had them reserved before dashing back home (to finish up their chores I suppose) and returning after 3 hours with more friends and more purchases and more discounts. They keep coming 3-4 times, every chance they get. Amazing and amusing. We don't mind a bit.<br />

As I'm writing this we are still selling. My sis decides to open her garage for 3 more days. I guess she does have that much to clear off.<br />
<br />
Well, merry christmas and happy holiday.fabmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15373033385759477864noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6262492045283087195.post-28038905104210598972012-11-20T17:48:00.001+08:002012-11-20T17:48:31.612+08:00What UpI'm a slacker I know. This is so long over due :<br />
<br />
Mother in-law is recovering from an operation. A week before Aidil Adha she had a surgery to correct a spinal problem. She now has 2 screws secured on her lower back. She is recovering well and improving daily and is walking. We are so glad.<br />
<br />
My son went for camping again (scout thing). Just around the corner here at the council padang but involving a massive number, 2000 participants including 2 groups from Indonesia and Brunei. It was a Pre-Jamboree International in conjunction with 100 years of Sabah Scout existence. Not so glad here. I wish he would drop this activity. My sole reason being he always end up not bathing for days. I hate that. 5 days in the tent and doing chores and doing rock climbing, abseiling and whatever stuffs scouts do, he only bath twice. yikes. When my daughter and I went to register her at the secondary, she chose to discontinue her Pengakap and change to Pandu Puteri, seconded by me. She doesn't need to get burnt and stink.<br />
<br />
Speaking of daughter, her UPSR result was out yesterday. She managed 4A 1B. Ok by me. She came a long way and we're proud of her.<br />
<br />
Can you excuse my laziness, this post will be pictureless. I'm not up to loading any. <br />
I hope you are enjoying your holiday. I'm thrilled for my friend Sri, who is away on a London and Paris trip. Already she's posting so many fun and beautiful pictures over there. I can't wait for her story.<br />
<br />
See ya!<br />

It makes sense. She's new in the neighbourhood. She wants to make friends and why not clear the junk at the same time. Perfect. Date set on her housewarming party day.<br />
Only we didn't sit down and discuss and plan properly because it was a busy week for everyone. We were still doing the tagging on event day.<br />
We made, or rather my 13 yo niece made flyers advertising the event, that's all the planning we got made.<br />
<br />
Planning. But, execution is another thing. Flyers were distributed rather late. And there were no banners.<br />
<br />
So after an hour waiting and no one came, we reprinted the flyers, sent out the nieces (with their dad!) to distribute further around the area. And then my sister pulled her creative hat and made a crude banner out of old bedsheet and some spray paint and hung it on the fence. Solved.<br />
<br />
And then we waited. <br />
<br />
And waited.<br />
<br />
For any interested and curious neighbours and passerby. They've got to be curious seeing all this display don't they? And they could read the banner, couldn't they? And all of us here smiling and waving shyly.<br />

They probably gone to the church, it's Sunday you know. If they aren't , they are at some tamu and should be home soon. Or they're not up yet, sleeping it in till brunchtime. Since we've been working hard unloading and laying out the junks, we'd take a break ourselves and get inside to rest. The maid can help us lookout.<br />
And here's our brother with some noodle soup. <i><strong>Wah, ada soto</strong></i>. Let's all sit down, we got a whole day, no worries.<br />
(in the meantime, we made sales between ourselves. my brooch bought by my brother in-law's sister, my sister took the teapot, my niece bought my son's coinbox,......)<br />
<br />

<br />
<i>Oh look. Here comes a group. Whispers to sister:who are they? do u know them?... Yes! jiran belakang rumah tu! anak beranak...</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
So there start the sale. People come after all, albeit slowly. Some ask, 'berapa hari kamu sale ni?'..Oh. just today since tomorrow is work day.<br />
In the end, we left the stuffs there and my sister continued selling for 2 more days. Friends of her friends come during lunch break and after office hours. Poor she, having to mess her new house with the clothes rail and boxes every night.<br />

<br />
Home stuffs sells. I got hairdryer, coffeemaker, toys, deco, teapot, frames, accessories all sold. Though I don't mind keeping them actually, I got space for them. It's clothes and shoes that are spilling out of my store room I need to rid of but they don't sell. I cleared 12 pieces or so out of maybe 50 piece clothings I brought.<br />
My sister's baby things like stroller and walker were fast snapped up before I remember to take photos. But she was practically giving them away the price she was asking.<br />
My other sister sold her carpets so cheap I winced. But there it is. The main objective was to clear the junk. On that account, I dare say we scored as most bulky items gotten out of the way before noon.<br />

Banner kami yang hina. Although it did help mind you.<br />
<br />
It was fun. As always when we get together food is a given. We took more tea breaks than we did selling perhaps but its a good activity to keep up. Spring cleaning double up as family day.<br />
<br />
Next time kami bikin banner yang bagus sikit la. Hahahahaha.<br />

this is a jalur gemilang cake. did this for my childrens' open house, happening on malaysia day. was too tired to snap proper photos. anyway it was messy and ugly. i just wanted to see if i get the design right. this involved some tedious work. baking one color in 5 pans for 1 recipe. then another color using half recipe. then stacking 3 layers, then cut and mix and stack the remaining 3 layers. <br />
<br />
i'm into <em>challenging cakes</em> these days. kunun.<br />

applying the same technique as the flag cake, this is a checkered chocolate and vanila cake. i took more time with this to get it properly stacked and clean lined. next time (if there is), i'll frost it with chocolate ganache. this one i just wanted to use up my leftover fresh cream.</div>

She can't go to school and kelas tambahan and tuition for 5 days. <strong>FIVE DAYS</strong>. Say it ain't so. Mountains of revision to do and she's a last-minute-person (like so many people I know..including self). Not good. Absolutely not ideal.<br />
<br />
I got to clear my head and devise alternative revision sessions under quarantine conditions. And hope for the best. Tawakkal saja lah. We shall get through this and try our best.<br />

I'm enjoying baking these days. My daughter hari2 bawa kuih raya ke sekolah, jadi ada kuih yang habis terpaksa buat lagi. Isnin lepas ulang buat biskut mushroom dan tambah kuih siput. Kelmarin buat satu kuih apam yang lama sudah di intai sejak sebelum Raya lagi tapi tak sempat cuba. Bahan-bahannya senang saja dan nampak menarik sebab guna ice cream soda, mesti yummy kan. Kebetulan , ada beberapa botol air lemonade (laminit) lebihan dari Labuan dalam fridge sekarang maka terhasil lah cubaan APAM ICE CREAM CORNETTO. Itu dia nama resipinya. <br />
<br />
Kuih ini memang cantik dan sangat sedap. Tidak picaya tanya anak aku, dia sudah tempah untuk bawa ke sekolah Isnin nanti. Cuba tengok gambar.<br />

Senang saja membuat adunan kuih ni, yang leceh sedikit proses meng<em>kon</em> dan mengukusnya.<br />
<br />
Di sini saya ingin share resepinya yang di ambil daripada blog <span style="color: magenta;"><em><a href="http://fromintankitchen.blogspot.com/">MasamManis.</a></em></span><br />
<br />
Terima kasih kepada Azlita di Masam Manis kerana mempost resipi dan step-by-step kuih ini. Minta izin untuk share di sini kerana rugi kalau tak cuba. Kalau malas buat kon, boleh cuba resipi ini untuk kek bentuk biasa atau cupcake kerana, serious, memang sedap.<br />

Besok lusa sudah lebaran. Sudah siap semua persiapan, atau tengah kelam kabut ?<br />
<br />
Tahun ni macam tiada mood. Kenapa? Entah lah.<br />
<br />
Tidak payah layan mood down aku, jom kita share kuih raya.<br />
<br />
Tajuk post Biskut Comel. Memang malas buat kuih tahun ni, tapi tiada hati juga mau beli. Jadi mau nda mau terpaksa buat sikit. Itu pun baru start minggu ni. Selepas buat 1 kuih - London Almond, terasa mau cari kuih-kuih lain yang tidak pernah dicuba dan kalau boleh tiada dijual dikedai. Waah..camana tu..misi kelainan sungguh.<br />
<br />
Setelah beberapa lama blog walking, jumpa lah biskut raya yang sangat cute ini. Sumber carian dari blog <i><a href="http://fromintankitchen.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: red;">MasamManis</span></a>. </i>Best blog ni, macam2 resipi kuih yang cantik2. Cuba la aku jumpa awal2. Ini tinggal 4 hari lagi. Anyway, yang pertama aku try, Biskut Cendawan. Bukan berinti cendawan atau berperisa cendawan tapi shape cendawan dengan dot-dot colourful. Walaupun lambat siap sebab adunannya lembut dan mesti berhati-hati, lepas tu icing mau dibahagi banyak color tapi bila siap memang puas hati dengan kecomelannya. Mari tengok gambar.<br />
<br /><br />

Kan? comel ka tidak ? Rasa dia pun sedap. I wish I doubled the recipe. Sekarang ni malas la mau ulang buat balik. (Tapi macam nda cukup mau bagi 2, bawa ke kampung.) Hishh.<br />
<br />
Dan seterusnya, biskut kedua - Biskut Donut.<br />
Ini biskut shape donut, lepas bakar , glaze dengan melted chocolate dan hiaslah ikut suka . Excited nih tengok gambar. Aku mau buat macam AppleDonut punya rupa. Buat cantik-cantik. TETAPI. Kalau yang pertama tadi lembut, ini lagi lah RAPUH. Sangat-sangat susah untuk dicanai dan diterap. Dan aku pula sudah awal2 sukat double recipe. Aiyaaaa..mencabar jiwa dan kesabaran. Sebenarnya aku tidak ikut pun resipi asal. Resipi asalnya biskut butter biasa, tapi aku memandai-mandai pakai almond cornflakes cookie punya adunan sebab dulu anak-anak suka sangat crunchy. Nah, crunchy la sekarang. Pinggang aku yang crunchy ni. Baru, adunan tu bila kasi double, dia off. Tidak jadi, berderai saja, macam mana mau canai? Terpaksa adjust. Macam buat balik oh, tambah tepung, nda mau juga di shape , tambah lagi banyak2 tepung mungkin cornflakes terlebih, tambah butter, tambah la gula sikit sebab sudah banyak taruh tepung. Oh Tuhan. Sudah jadi triple. Dan entah apa rasa dia sudah terlampau banyak renovation. Nasib baik, jumlah untuk diterap tidaklah begitu banyak sebab pakai donut cutter jadi biskut ni besar sikit dari biskut-biskut biasa. Ok, mari lihat gambar.<br />

As I get older, one of the things I dread is losing more relatives around this time.<br />
You'd think it'd get easier, that you'd get hardened and detach yourself emotionally because that's the fact of life. But sometimes the barrier wall comes down. As did yesterday.<br />
<br />
Both my aunt and uncle passed away yesterday morning. The shock numbed us for a second. One is buried in Kota Belud and another is buried in Papar. The whole day was spent basically on the road trying to get from one to another opposite end to attend the burial. It became possible due to fact that uncle's body was arriving from Lahad Datu and only arrived Papar after maghrib. But add the bad traffic , especially Papar highway, we made it just in time. I have been having iftar at home since the start, yesterday was the first on the road. It's also the first time I attend night burial.<br />
<br />
Al-fatihah to the souls of my last living maternal aunt and my last living paternal uncle. There isn't regret. Both had long productive lives. May they rest in peace.

<br />
I saw my niece got crazy about the <i>apam polka dot </i>we had during the weekend's<i> kenduri arwah, </i>ordered from her mom's friend. I wanna try making it.<br />
<br />
So when I got home, I set immediately looking for the recipe and made apam polka dot. And then because I have all the colours, I went ahead and tried the famous rainbow cakes I've seen in pinterest and mommy bloggers. I can't say I'm too happy with the outcome, of both cakes. Today I make another batch of the polka dots cuppies because I knew I was technically wrong the first time but I still end up dissatisfied the second time around.<br />
<br />
Oh well, anyway, here are the shots.<br />

It's not light and fluffy enough to taste. I like the colors tho and I enjoy dotting the batter.<br />
<br />

The next foray, Layered Rainbow Cake. I followed Martha Stewart's recipe.<br />

Hugely disappointed with the stacking disaster, because everything else was going smooth up until then. The layers baked beautifully, the colors were gorgeous, BUT then the cakes <b>won't come off</b> the parchment paper. Stuck like glue. I double greased the pan for the rest of the batches so those were rescued but the first two were just horror.( Good thing I only have the 2 baking pans to alternate and had a chance to damage-control. If I had done this in all 6 pans?) I had to tear the paper off bit by bit to avoid breaking but the edges were gone. totally didn't expect this. I worried about domed cakes (I hate levelling), I worried about the colors but <span style="background-color: white;">I never had problems with baking paper not coming off before. </span><span style="background-color: white;"> I patched up with lots of frosting and force the stacks. I should maybe just discard the destroyed ones and stack incomplete colors. I needed to see the rainbow even if its crooked.</span><br />
<br />
Better week ahead to you.<br />

My computer was ill the past month. Actually 'ill' doesn't quite describe it, more like in a comma. The only way to revive it was to clean up all the way, as in reformat all over, as in all things gone, all my folders, all the photos. GONE. 4 years worth of family photos. I don't even want to think.<br />
<br />
2. The last weeks of June was spent repaying 'fast' while trying out some new recipes. <br />
<br />
<strong>M&M chewie sugar cookies</strong>. Mine didn't turn out very pretty (i refuse to share the picture with u). If you like chewy cookie, this is a keeper. It has 2 ounce cream cheese in it so its yummy. <em><span style="color: red;"><a href="http://www.the-girl-who-ate-everything.com/2012/06/chewy-m-sugar-cookies.html">This</a></span></em> is where I found the recipe, you can see the picture along there.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Moussaka</strong>, from <em><span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><a href="http://mengunyah.blogspot.com/2012/06/moussaka.html">Yasmin's mengunyah</a></span></em>. It's really very good, even though I messed up the white sauce.<br />

3. On the bleachers last Thursday, cheering on my kids, who raced in their School Sports Day. My son took part in one event, 4x100 as the last runner and won gold. His sport house (rumah Hijau) came out overall champion as well. I'm still tickled by their cheering song, ' coca cola seven up, rumah hijau up, up, up !' ( andui bah..). His sister took part in track as well but lost and her house, Biru came out third. You can imagine how she hates discussing the day on the ride home.<br />

5. Attended a birthday party next door on Saturday, and just learned that our neighbour has 10 siblings, making 11 of them in the family including him, all except one, are
boys. No wonder they end up as footballers, they make a complete team. I bet the sister can play well too.<br />
<br />
That's life lately. See you again, if I see you.<br />

They are nice lads, Haiqal and Jewis. Shy, polite and well mannered. They checked out from school but continuing on their own, staying in a hotel until the weekend. I heard they have plans for pulau trip.<br />

They had Tuesday out of town, going up to the War Memorial Park in Kundasang and then later hiking a trail in the National Park. They rushed back 4pm because they needed to prepare for the night's show at school.
Both of them performed in the dance. Haiqal got moves while Jewis was..how shall I say it..he was so shy and awkward if he could disappear into the wall he would. He didn't do more beyond shifting his foot and kept trying to hide himself behind his mates. He knew I was in the front seat taking pictures.;)
They did 3 numbers and the school reciprocate with 3 dances, ending with 'magunatip' where the visiting students were obliged to participate. They were good sports and a bunch of them got on the floor, belatedly realising it looked easier than done. All in all, a good dinner, they had great fun, we had fun watching. I might add, the school need to get a new PA system, that's all I' m saying.<br />
