Trip to Cameron Highlands - Day 1 : Dinner

We had dinner at Nassya restaurant in Brinchang if i'm not mistaken. The night breeze was so cool. There were not too many people around, maybe lots of people were at the pasar malam.




Bihun tomyam

Tomyam campur

Sup tulang


Paprik campur

note :
The food stall I was looking forward to visit was closed. So we had to settle on what this restaurant has to offer. My hubby said the soup was good. But I think what we have here in KL is much tastier. However, they do serve generous amount of shrimps. :)
Trip to Cameron Highlands - Day 1 : Upon arrival

We checked in first at the hotel in Tanah Rata. This is our third stay at this hotel.

Bathtub, for my sons - in replace for swimming pool :p

Super king sized bed

Trip to Cameron Highlands - Day 1 : the journey begins
1st Feb. 2008


At Jalan Duta toll plaza, luckily there were not too many vehicle on the road



Traffic came to a halt because the road had been reduced to one lane at certain areas due to construction. We came across a trailer carrying newly released proton saga. Couldn't resist the temptation to snap a few photos :)


If I was looking for a new car, I would surely go for this (but maybe I'll wait until a few months after the first release)


On the way to Simpang Pulai, we passed through Gua Tempurung.


No worries, signboards are strategically placed along the highway. You won't miss it unless you were sleepy (caution!) or not paying much attention.


Exit 137


After Simpang Pulai toll plaza, take right after the traffic light and take right again when you came to the next traffic light.



Foggy half way to CH. This is not unusual, maybe it's one of the highest peak. Visibility is just like what you can see. Be careful.


Among the first of flower nursery you will spot. That means, yeayy.. you're very close!




Signboard again. Only 21 km to Brinchang.


Schoolchildren riding on trucks to school. I forgot it was schoolday in other states. :p
All in all we took about 3 hours from KL to get to CH (if not for the traffic being slowed down, we could have reached there earlier). But what's imporatant was to arrive safe and sound and minus the sickness :D

Laman santai - Saturday 26th January 2008
Laman santai @ compound area between the National Art Gallery and Istana Budaya is held every Saturday from 8.00 to 11.30 p.m.
These are photos taken during the rehearsal in the afternoon :

Do you recognize who's this guy? I didn't until my hubby told me it was Ali Terra Rossa. Previously he was in XPDC before he joined Mpire recently. When he was in XPDC, he sported very long hair.. He also performed his famous song "Bunga Angkasa" unplugged but I missed this song as I wasn't around when he sang.. arghh.. ruginyaaa...




One of the artists at Laman Santai. You could buy a painting, or get your portrait made for just RM30! While a caricature only costs RM10!


Pokok limauku dah berbuah!!


Pokok limau ni asalnya tumbuh di laman depan rumah tok saya di kampung.. Ada 2 pokok yang renek kesemuanya.. dua2 ditanam depan tangga. Saya suka sangat kutip buah limau ni yang berwarna merah kehitaman bila dah cukup masak. Ada orang yg kata buah ni boleh dimakan, tp saya selalu ambik untuk buat main masak-masak saja. tapi memang ada pun yang selalu datang minta dari arwah tok saya.. tak taulah untuk tujuan apa. tapi ramai yang puji pokok tu cantik sebab selalu di'trim' oleh arwah ayah saya dan buah limaunya tak putus2 berbuah..

Bila rumah tok saya nak diruntuhkan untuk projek perumahan baru dsb, ada orang yang datang nak beli pokok ni dan ianya dijual dengan harga yang agak tinggi juga. Mungkin sebab memang jarang nak jumpa pokok ni. Sepokok lagi telah diambil oleh mak saya dan ditanam di dalam pasu di rumah yang baru. Bila balik kampung, saya telah mengambil benih pokok ini dan menanamnya ke dalam pasu. Hasilnya, pokok ni pun hidup dan berbuah.. tengoklah buah limau ni, mmg cantik sekali. Saiznya kecil sahaja, lebih kecil dari guli.

Lepas ni saya ingat nak biakkan lagi.. kalau ada sesiapa yang berkenan dan berminat nak beli, boleh le hubungi saya :)

p/s: untuk makluman, pokok ni jenis yang berduri. kalau pandai, boleh dibentuk mcm pokok bonsai

Himawari



This is a picture of my youngest sister holding my niece, Himawari (not her real name). Himawari's mother is my other sister, not in this picture (third child in my family). I am the eldest, my bro the second (he's 30 yrs old), and himawari's mom (26) and our youngest sis in photo (20).


This photo was taken during hari raya puasa last year. At that time, my niece (i called her himawari based on Crayon Shin Chan's sister) was 7 months old. Himawari is the first granddaugther on our family as me and hubby have 2 boys and the same goes for my brother's family too. When she was born, I had a fun time shopping for a girl's dress as gifts for her. :)


I haven't seen her since raya and now my mother told me that she can crawl and stand on her own but of course she has to grab on something or someone to support her.. hehehe..


Himawari was born on 16th March 2007.

Cupcakes for the birthday boy!
These are cupcakes I ordered from willywonkabakesacake for Abe awe's 6th birthday to give away to his friends at school. Easier for the teacher to distribute and it goes with a goody bag for each including the teachers..
His present will only come end of this month. And it's a surprise!
Tom & Jerry cupcakes for Abe Awe:


I love the green rat the most. It's so cute!


I have been studying the roses so closely. How creative! (Flowers are for the teachers)

~Homemade Strawberry Yoghurt @ Dadih Strawberi~



This is my first try at making 'dadih' based on a recipe found in the internet. However, I had to modify the recipe a bit (I didn't have jelly powder and had to use jelly strips) and this is the result.




Place this cups of 'dadih' into the fridge and it'll be ready to be served in a few hours. ;)

Nasi Lemuni


This is how I make nasi lemuni. Actually it is a 'Nasi Lemak' and the only difference is I added some extract of the lemuni leaves.

Lemuni leaves. Cut into small pieces and blend. Then extract the juice (tapis ler)

This is salted queenfish (ikan talang kering). Fry just a moment to put into sambal tumis.



Wash rice, put in onion, ginger and pepper. Add on coconut milk, lemuni leaves extract, pandan leaves and a pinch of salt. Ready to cook.


The finished products. Nasi lemuni and sambal tumis and also hard-boiled egg. A very simple dish you can eat for breakfast or any other time. :)
