I'm back!

I'm back, again after quite a long silent. Silent in posting but not in physical life!

Time runs so fast. Already 2 months after the school session begins. With Imraan now in Std 4, Abid Std 3, Kausar in Std 2... life is a bit hectic. The 1-hr lunch time is the time to fetch them from SK and send them to SRA, with Imraan in Tahap 2, their timetable is almost different everyday. Abid's taekwando class on thursdays... sekolah agama the whole week monday-wed for abid and kausar, wed-fri for imraan...

With the long schedule during weekday 7.30am to 6.30 pm... i've finally decided to stop them for a while for tuition classes in weekend. I want to let them feel and enjoy their free time. So no tuition class for this year but extra job for me to closely monitor them so that they are not lost track!

Ok just a little update to just let everybody know my presence! hehe

Sabbatical Leave

I'm going for a 'short rest' for a while from now. Just a bit busy and too tight schedule of my office work...external examiner visits, accreditation visits, kpi, bsc etc..etc... (neverending list!), with addition of 'myself' project... Nanti la ya if time permits, Insyaallah, I'll be here again for more updates...more recipes to share!

Family Day di A Famosa Resort

Dah lama nak post pasal Family Day kitorang yg dibuat di A Famosa Resort hari tu. Sebenarnya plan ni lama dah sejak masa arwah ayah ada lagi. Tapi terhenti bila ayah makin tak sihat. Hinggalah awal March lalu, dapat direalisasikan plan ni. Tujuan asal saja nk bawak mak hiburkan hati. Tapi adik2 ku insist nk buat program macam2, sukaneka la, barbecue la. Hmm...ikutkan aje la. Yg penting semua seronok. Semua acara bermula petang lepas asar. Apalagi cucu2 nenek la yg paling enjoy, sukaneka & swimming. Itu part budak2. Part mak2 budak pulak cuma berpeluang berendam kt pool waktu malam hehe...nasib la keceburr sume penuh pool!
Malam buat tahlil ringkas utk arwah ayah lepas solat isyak. Sedih mak. Sepatutnya memang datang sini dengan ayah. Tapi mak terubat juga bila tengok anak2 cucu semua disampingnya. Lepas santap barbecue tu la mak2 budak amik alih swimming pool. Last skali ada acara penyampaian hadiah utk para pemenang eceh.....berbaris cucu nenek sume amik hadiah! Memang seronok sangat kali ni dapat berkumpul 10 anak mak, campur menantu sume, dan cucu2 yg seramai 17 orang tu! Riuh rumah dibuatnye. Walaupun cuma satu malam, tapi percutian keluarga yang paling happy rasanya. Insyaallah ada plan next time pergi jauh sikit dan cuti lama sikit. Semoga ikatan kekeluargaan Allahyarham Hj Abu sentiasa utuh. Amin...

Lovely cousins!

Bapak-bapak budak...

Nak berangkat pulang dah...

Muesli Bar

Berdesup2 lak kali ni meng'entry' resipi ye. Hmm ni wat malam tadi dek kerana teruja dengan muesli bar oleh sis lemongrass gak. Pun resipi simple 'mimple' (err...ade ke word ni?). Dan jugak betullah katanya mmg susah nak berenti mengunyah makan ni slice by slice. Yg crumble2 pun sedap!. Tengah malam hb bangun pun leh request nak makan ni. Ishh... cam nak kena buat lagi ni. Cumanya anak2 dah berapa gemar sultanas dan peanuts tu nk kena hancurkan sket lagi pasal Abid anakku ni takde gigi! hehe... Dan kena reduce kan baking time to maybe 20-25 mins je sbb put 30 mins dah terbrown sket (ke oven aku ni wat hal...wallahualam). Tapi memang la tak perlu la beli lagi pasni, nak diet amik ni je wat breakfast or throughout the day kt office eh...(tp jgn over consume, nnti kang tak leh kira diet dah hehehe).

Ni abaikan lah rupa dia yg ter'brown' tu, rasa dia tetap besshh!

Apple Pie

Yummy...yummy...yey dapat buat apple pie resepi yang best ni. Dapat dari sis lemongrass from Perth! Jauh tu hehe. So easy-peasy gak membuatnya. Cuma few minutes jek. Tang ni mmg cik hb puji melambung-lambung, Best! dia kata. Sekejap je dah licin tak sempat tunggu malam sekali hadap je. Tetiba ada lak permintaan suh buat blueberry pie...walla...Abid...mana la mama nak cari blueberry ni nak ooi...

Peminat setia mama...Kausar, apa2 mama buat pun dia yg nak test dulu...hehe

Selepas beberapa detik...
