Raya shopping

Last week, I did mentioned that we went to SP to do a bit of
shopping for Raya... i was actually looking for a new sandal
so i bought 2 pairs ..and the other 2 pairs are custom made shoes
which i ordered from a shoe lady who always come to our office
and take orders from us.. covenience for us la...tak payah susah2
nak cari kasut..she has all kind of materials and design..and the
most important her shoes are very very comfy.... jalan one whole
day in a shopping mall with her high heel pun tak sakit kaki...
And we also bought 2 pairs of shoes and a pair of sandal each for
Farhana and Farisa.... sampai rumah this two girls were so excited
to try out their new shoes...
the brown shoe from SP and silver from shoe lady..


green shoe from shoe lady and brown from SP.... raya sakan tahun ni...


Farisa's shoes and sandal... she doesnt like the orange colour..

but i thin it's quite cool...


Farhana's collection....Ms pink....

Yesterday we went to look for their baju kurung in SACC Mall... Luckily we could still managed to find their size..the only thing, tak dapat cari the same design for both of them.... it's okayla, this year, we'll have a colourful theme

Farhana's baju kurung

Farisa's baju kurung
And these are their shirts, dresses, skirts and jeans collections...
we bought this from SP last week (not all).. coz we bought some
of the skirts and shirts when we travelled last June... if everything
beli at the same time... hubby going to be so broke....
nowadays childrens clothes are not cheap.... some of them
are even more expensive than adults clothes.... but since
it's Raya time...i'm sure every parents would like to see their
kids with new baju.... tak apa la once a while you see your
pocket with one big hole...:(

Farhana's collection


Farisa's collection

Ehhh.. what about me?? where's my baju????
oh yaa...they are still at the tailorla...
The lady hasn't called me yet... this reminds me to call her
tomorrow.. hopefully I can collect my baju next week....

A day in the kitchen

I've not been baking or making 'kuih' for quite sometimes but
a kind of 'angin' has hit me and I've been so rajin sitting
in the kitchen almost 60% of my day today...





This is what I did ......








i baked my favourite " bread n butter pudding "







and made sardine curry puff for buka puasa


Bread and butter Pudding



1 loaf of bread 3 cups of hot water 3 cups of evaporate milk 1 egg 1/2 cup butter Mix fruits (optional)



Pour hot water onto the bread. Then stir. Add evaporated milk, butter and egg. Mix well. Add mix fruits. Bake in the oven for 30 - 40 mins.

** nak sedap lagi, you can have it with vanilla or chocolate sauce...yummy!!! **



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


While i was busy in the kitchen...hubby was busy too doing some mischief work....suddenly he called me and show this picure which he transformed me to a RETRO look... hhmmm..not bad...i kinda like it....i wonder if i'd really do this hairstyle if I was in that era....stylo jugak eh....

Wokeyyy...i have to say good nite to you guys....dah lambat you... nanti pening i nak bangun sahur.....and tomorrow we are going to Sunway Pyramid to do some Raya shopping...Yeyyy!!!

Have a lovely weekend everyone....

Buka Puasa..

BUKA PUASA

This morning during sahur, I was cracking my brain thinking what
to cook for dinner... nak masak ayam lagi...hhmmm...i dont think
so... i'm tired of eating chicken (but that's my darling's fav) this
is the part I always hate.... malasnyaaaa nak fikir....
but i have no choice coz kena bagitau bibik what to take out from
the freezer..

Finally teringatkan the prawn and beef which I bought in the market
last weekend...so this is what I came up with for buka puasa just now :


Gulai Udang Daun Kunyit


Kari Daging


Terung Berlada with Udang Kering

and... Desert - Kuih Lopis


SAHUR

My sahur is very simple... 4 pcs of Hi Fibre Cream Crackers,
4 pcs of Dates and a cup of Milo.... these is good enough to save
some energy for the day.... and at least my tummy doesn't feel
so bloated this puasa time ... hopefully can lose 2kg this month... :-)

My life during Ramadhan...

Goshh...life has been very hectic during this fasting month....
I really dont have enough time for blogging lately.... I feel the
24hours is not enough... and i wish if we could have 36hrs a day....
tapikan i'd prefer to have the nite time longer than day time....
so that I can dream a bit longer plus do a lot of personal
things...


Almost everyday I'll cook for break fasting...Just imagine
I reach home at 6pm and only have an hour to prepare
our meal (memang kelam kabut di buatnya...nasib baik
bibik tolong prepare all the ingredients) so my job is just to
campak all those things in the kuali...


After break fasting I become like 'ular sawa' ...plus kena hit by
the 'angin malas' ..... but then have to get ready to go to the nearby
surau to perform isya' prayer (but sometimes kalau tak sempat
buat dekat rumah aje) and tarawih....


After tarawih I've to check Farhana's school homework,
buatkan her time table as well as reading Kumon exercise
sheet with Farisa..... memang sooooo exhausted...tapi
sempat lagi spend a bit of time to check my FB and read
my fav blogs.... During this month I usually hit my sack quite
early..I'll try to be on the bed latest by 11pm..otherwise nanti
I've to drag myself to bangun sahur (itu pun after the
alarm clock snooze for the 3rd time... actually I really hate
to wake up in the morning....mmg malas sangat...but it's my
responsibilty to prepare sahur for my family....

By the way, today Farhana completes her 7th day of fasting...
I'm so proud of her ... so far she has never asked
to puasa half day... she even told me that she wanted to fast
as many days as she can.... but sometimes i feel so kesian with
her.... furthermore she's in the afternoon session school...
i'm sure a bit tough...at least morning shcool boleh take a
short nap in the afternoon....


I've taken a pic of her during the first day of fasting last Monday..
Since that was her first time fasting for full day...she looked very
weak like dah habis bateri.... kesian...


Farhana at the dining table... she cant even talk to anyone....it was 15mins away to break fast




-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------











in my previous post, I've promised to share the pressies they got from the party....they were sooo happy with them... million thanks to everyone for the lovely gifts...we really appreciate it...
