Newly spirited me!

I don't know when did i start engulfing myself with novels recently. i can't stop reading shopaholic series by sophie kinsella..i'm so addicted, despite being busy with my cases, designing and renovating my new house. not to mention my kids varicella plague or chicken pox for easy understanding. i can still find time to read..it's embarrassing to admit that sometimes when nature calls, i bring the book inside the loo. Shopaholic like me? So far, i've read confessions of a shopaholic, shopaholic takes manhattan, shopaholic ties the knot, shopaholic & sister, shopaholic & baby, mini shopaholic. These are rebecca bloomwood (becky) series. Another one is Can you keep a secret with emma corrigan as heroine. I love love love these books. i like becky because she's such a  kindhearted, lively girl, a girl next door who like to shop and always fall into big mess mainly because she doesn't want to hurt her parent's feeling, her friend's or her hus

Malaysia-Singapore-Tanjung Batu, Indonesia

Salam and good day to all. A week after chinese new year, i had a very truly adventurous journey to Indonesia, attending a wedding party at one of thousands Indonesian island called Tanjung Batu, Kepulauan Karimun. There are few ways to get there. Either we fly straight to Batam then continue with ferry to Tanjung Batu or drive to Kukup Pontian and take ferry to Tjg Batu or by train from KL to Singapore and 2 more ferries. After long considerable thought, the Captain (my husband) chose to board Senandung Malam train from KL Sentral to Woodlands, Singapore. And from there we took  Pelangi Ferry to Tanjung Balai. And then took another small ferry or boat called SB Sun Rico to Tanjung Batu Jetty. Of course, along the way we had many interesting, intriguing and sad moments to share with you all.  SAD STORY We started with 5 when we board the train but lost one when the train reach Seremban. It was a rather sad story to share here because my husband's uncle (closest one) did no

Apam terbaekk!!

I never knew that apam can be so sedap, so soft and melt in my mouth. But this one has changed my perception towards apam. It's so soft yet so simple to make. All we need to have is mixer and steamer. And the ingredients are less than 5. start counting ok! Ingredients:- 4 eggs 2 cups caster sugar   3 cups flour 1/2 tbsp ovalette (am i spelling it right?) 1 cup F&N ice-cream soda Method:- Just mix them all and whip to the max until the mixture turns white and fluffy. Then put it in paper cup about 1/3 and steam for 5 minutes. If you want to decorate a bit, you can separate about 1 cup and colour it with the colors of your choice and put a dot on top of the white mixture. A point to remember: don't unscrew the F&N bottle for other than pouring it into the apam mix because you won't get the optimum result. See the photo above, it's actually not the perfect one and my mom said it was because the soda has lost some of its gas. So, let's do this! I

i want that karipap!

it's crazy how i felt about that karipap. i loved it at the first bite. and i want to eat the same karipap whenever i want it. so in order to get what i want, i must learn how to make a perfect karipap. guess from who i get it? yeah you're all right.... from my beloved mother! seems like my mum's karipap getting a 360* turn from the 1980s karipap that i brought to school discreetly for sale. you know how canteen makcik hated it when student bring food to sell at school.  Now after more than 20 years, i decided to really learn how to make a perfect karipap, perfect dough, perfect fillings and perfect handmade karipap plait. so, i kidnap my mum for one night..and together we made this karipap...while chit chatting about almost everything that cross our mind from my siblings stories, my kids, also about mother's feeling towards her children which make us oblivious about time.   (the above story was written about 1 month ago...apa la blogger ni kan..tak hapdet hapdet!)
