lil kitchen helper

Ini adalah projek for raya 2007. found the recipe in allrecipes.com. despite the sempoi ingredients, it actually taste good! the original recipe minus item no 4, the outcome tasted like butter cookies. Chenta suggested we add ground almond to give a nutty flavour and wallaaaa!
i wanted to frost them (the hearts) with white n dark choc but my cooking choc played lumpy on me. menci sgt! next time try lagik....

my lil helper kepenatan!

Happy 4th Anniversaries to Mummy & Abah Iman(nak juga dia!)

It is only natural now to look back over the past 4 years. hapiness, iman, and yes we do fight, and my anger sometimes as big as that tractor tyre and his respond just like that menuai machine. but at the end of the day we will find each other. and now its time to condsider what the future will be like.

Here's to wonderful years ahead!

Kisah Seekor Unta

Al-kisah Pak Ngah mahu belanja Iman, Abg Apiq dan Adib naik unta raya haji lepas. Maka gumbiralah Abah dan Mummy, pulang ke kampong awal semata-mata mahu menyambut kedatangan unta yang dijadualkan tiba pada Rabu, 19/12/2007 pukul 2 ptg. Sebab Pak Ngah tak dapat balik, maka Abah dan pak Jali adalah wakil bahagian Pak Ngah.
Pagi itu Mummy bangun awal, nak ikut Atuk pergi pasar. Nampak je Mummy, Atuk cakap

“Dik, ada berita tak baik, unta lepas, Nwar dah bangun?”

Confius kejap Mummy, “Bukan ke petang ni baru sampai encik unta tu Pak?”

“Mlm tadi dah sampai, ntah macam mana boleh lepas, kena langgar pulak dengan lori surat khabar, patah kaki dia”

Serious? Mummy terus kejutkan Abah. Dengan tak mandi kami pon terus keluar ke jalan raya.

En Unta

Pengguna jalan raya tidak melepaskan peluang melihat unta di tepi jalan

Setelah berdiskusi dalam kumpulan kecil, maka kata putus dibuat. En Unta akan disembelih disitu juga, pagi itu juga. Kenduri di surau tetap dibuat. Cuma, tidak ada rezeki Iman nak tunggang unta.

uihhh baru nak post cerita raya haji!
