A Card To Tebby

Tebby, after coming home last Saturday, is away again, yesterday and he's coming back home today. Kakak missed him and did a card for Tebby.

Kepada lelaki bijak ... it says

Ayah yang hebat ... he is

Lelaki yang kuat ... (kuat apa? :D)

Dan seperti guru MT (maknya tak pandai math okay)

Chef Tak Bertauliah & Sous Chef nya

I decided to try out new recipe at least one every week. Acik beli buku resepi banyak okay. Tak reti masak is one thing. Malas nak cuba is another thing. I believe in 'air tangan' konsep and in my own little family, the way to your loved ones' hearts is through their stomaches pasal depa suka makan. Among other ways lah kan.

I tried Roti Paratha Kentang which I tiru from UMMI ZAIHADI's sweethome blog. She's a great cook. I am nowhere near. To get to know my rave and rant about that Roti Paratha, go to my recipe blog. For lunch I did Gulai Ikan from the book Spicy Padang Cooking. Tebby said it resembles the one he had in Palembang and suggested that we use fish head next time around. My major failure was with the asam keping. I left it for too long and it turned too sourish. Letih acik edjas balik rasa dengan ramuan.

The challenge did not lie in cooking these actually. Bahan-bahan senang. Nak masak pun tak renyah. What made it took longer time was because I had 3 helpers who helped me in a way and helped themselves in so many other ways. Bibik Ros pegi outing sama kawan-kawan okay. Acik kentung kentang kat dapur sama dengan 3 sous-chef okay. Abahnya baca suratkhabar kat depan. Between tengok abah baca suratkhabar dengan mengacau Ummi masak kat dapur, definately the latter one is more appealing kan.

Yang ni pulak Chicken Wing Ala China. Tebby's favourite. Sampai merajuk-rajuk saya tak buat aritu. Eloklah merajuk sebab tak dapat makan masakan kita dari ...... merajuk kalau kita masak!

Dinner in Bangi Kopitiam

After the pool event, sebelah malamnya pulak we went out for groceries shopping in Carrefour Bandar Tun and later had dinner at Bangi Kopitiam. Albeit the name Bangi, it is in Suasana, Bandar Tun Hussein Onn. They do have one in Bangi tho.

Iman had Half Boiled Eggs+Roti. Sangat menggiurkan okay. 1/2 boiled eggs yang bergegar-gegar atas roti. Sedap or not? Now tell me how can combination of telur separuh masak and roti bakar go wrong? Iman tak berjaya habiskan and I happily helped myself on it he he.

I had Mee Hailam (as well). Rasanya, saya bagi rating B. Takdelah tak sedap but nothing to shout about either. Apapun, albeit rating B itu, habis licin saya makan. Siap top-up dengan roti bakar Iman yang tak habis lagi... Anyway, they should seriously consider wiping out tepi-tepi mangkuk itu sebelum menghidang okay. Appearance, counts.

Tebby and Kakak had Dolly Noodle. These 2 anak beranak, walaupun menafikan sekeras-kerasnya, they have a lot in common. Food included. That dish closely resembled megi ayam but garnished with sunny-side-up and mutilated sausage, it looked a bit gourmet, nonetheless.

The bill came to RM31.50.
Since Tebby had spent almost RM600 on God-Knows-Whats in Carrefour,
I paid for this. Fair, No?

Iman with his autobot SKID.
In car mode.
He's trying to put a human alliance in the front seat.

Abah, transform!
Sedang mentelaah utk tukarkan ke robot mode.


anak daraku yang sudah besar...

Mandi Kolam

Adam gigih isi air dalam kolam

Iman, yang insist pakai diapers dalam pool :P

Adam, si hidung belang.

Jatuh tertomoih kat porch.

Tebby was in Genting from Friday and came back home after lunch . Budak-budak ajak keluar but I dared not without the father. Huru hara okay. I have 3 kids, 2 of which masih sukar di kawal in public. Iman, albeit being 5, he is as he is. Adam, toksah cakap lah. Ever heard of terrible two?

So, pool it was then. To kill their boredom and to safe myself from their nagging. Since I broke the pool good news the night before, they could hardly wait. By 8 in the morning, they were in the pool already! Letih kaki makcik mengepam pool itu taww. The one we have is the type kena pam angin masuk, baru it walls up and the only baru masukkan air. It has 3 rings, which I need to pump the air into. And the kids were no help at all. Umminya suruh kembangkan pool, depa sibuk keluar masuk je. Time tu le rindu ekstra kat abahnya he he he. Yang, tak masuk cerita pool tu pun, I still missed you.

Kakak, Iman and Adam alike. Mana ada budak tak suka main air kan. Iman siap breakfast dalam kolam while Adam, siap cicah nugget dalam air kolam and then ate it. Later he just let some nuggets floated hu hu. Unfortunately for them (fortunately for me ha ha), only after an hour, it started to rain. Just light and drizzle but I used that as an excuse to get them out. Susah woo nak pancing sorang-sorang keluar. One is out, the other got in back. Ummi keluarkan air, yang lain pi masukkan air semula. In short, selepas Umminya mengeluarkan arahan ala-ala komando, Kakak wet the living area, Iman melencunkan towelnya sebab seret masuk dalam air and Adam menjerit-jerit in resistance, selesailah upacara mandi kolam.

Phew..
