Kembali ke Zaman Kanak-Kanak Riang

During the longgggg School Break recently, my nieces and nephews 'balik kampung' to spend their holidays. It was for 5 days 4 nights only. And the 'kampung' is in Shah Alam..... the word 'kampung' sounds so far far away...hikhikhik....my parents house. The house where the three of us is staying too. 

Eidlan is not joining....sob...sob...sob because he had asthma attack few days before and is still under supervision by both of his parents. Qaleesya? She's too small to join the 'tunggang langgang' group. Minimum age is 2 years++.

So here they are, including Azfar. Pity Azfar because he himself sometimes get isolated by them. Yang lain-lain dah besar, jadi ada je la aktiviti yang tak boleh ngam. Dan Azfar pun kadang-kadang cranky tak tentu pasal.....biasalah. If that situation happened, Nina as the eldest among them will be the rescuer. 

Another thing, my nieces and nephews have their own 'partner'. It goes like this,

Nina & Qistina

Hakeem & Eidlan

Elina & Eiman

Azfar & ??

Nobody!! The youngest is Qaleesya and she is still too small for his age. That is why he is always being left out....hahahaha. Nasib badan.

The first activity that they had was hide & seek. The house was like sooo noisy with them screaming and shouting but I found it fun and exciting.

Below pic is Hakeem. The biggest among all and he managed to find a strategic spot to hide.....under the sofa. It was the longest hiding because none of them could ever think that he would be under there....hahahaha....good job.

In this activity, Azfar did not want to hide and will be just standing near their hiding spot. Kantoilah sayang oiii.

Second activity was 'Teng-teng' . It was my very own idea because I remembered Azfar's washable crayon. When I start to scribbled on the floor they were so panic as if it is the end of the world.

'Uchu conteng atas lantai!!'

'Uchu, boleh hilang ke ni?'

I was being attacked with questions in panic tone....hahahaha so cute. Then when I do the magic by erasing the drawing using baby wipes, they get even excited.

'Wahhhhh.....eh hilang laaaa'

A minute after that, I can see more and more scribbles being done. 

Okay, enough of scribbling. Let's start the game. We drew the box together. And at the same time, Azfar also wants to draw the box.....haishhhh....box with 'senget-benget' lines.

They were quite pissed off with Azfar especially Eiman and Elina because whenever the object is thrown in the 'teng-teng'  box, Azfar will take and run away with it. They were distracted with his action.

 At one time, I can see Eiman's 'bestnya-kalau-dapat-tumbuk' face expression.....

The third activity is swimming.

This young man can wait and was extremely excited to go to the swimming session on the next day. He does not want to let go the goggle and has been wearing it all night. 

'Apa cuming' (Azfar swimming)

It was fun and of course they had fun.

Excluding myself because I tripped in front of the sitting crowd while holding on Azfar's hand who is about to trip and at the end both of us stumbled on the slippery floor....yuckkkssss.....arghhhhh.....end of the story.

Salad Arab

Yeke ni Salad Arab? Suke suke jer nak letak nama lagu tu kan. 

Sebenarnya tekak ni teringin nak makan salad ala-ala arab punye dressing style tapi malas nak mintak tolong En Google maka I dengan sendirinya capai...campak...capai...campak je bahan-bahannya. Tapi bahan utama memang I nak guna plain yogurt, taknak mayonis.

Inilah hasilnya. Sedap tau.....

Bahan-bahan dressing:

Plain Yogurt

Lemon juice/Apple Cider Vinegar ( I guna ACV)

Bawang Holland (potong dadu)

Olive Oil

Garam

Black pepper

Untuk saladnya, letak aje apa-apa jenis yang anda semua suka. I letak apa yang ada dalam peti sejuk, Romaine lettuce, green bell pepper, cucumber and tomato.

Dah Siap!!!

Sebenarnya I buat lamb chop untuk dinner sebab tu beria-ia nak buat salad. Sedap dimakan bersama....yummmmsss.


Sebelum ni dah ada dah post untuk resepi lamb chop ni tapi yang kali ni I kurangkan kicap, sebab itu kurang gelap.

Resepi.

Homeschool Activity : Taking Care of A Pet

Actually Azfar wanted a fish but when he saw a rabbit, he wants that...'Bunny...bunny'. I totally disagree with him but of course I explained to him in a nicest way ever.

Me : 'Azfar you cannot have this bunny as your pet because it has furs. You are allergic to furs  sayang.'

Azfar : ...still standing in front of the cage while staring at the bunny. Not moving even for an inch.....

Me : 'Anyway, uncle said they don't sell this and the cage is lock....kan uncle kan' (sambil kenyit-kenyit mata)

Then I showed him a group of tortoise....ahaaa. I was excited but not him. I was excited because tortoise is an animal that is very easy to take care of and 'tahan lasak' but he was like....'eerghhhhh runnnn....'. 

I took one of the tortoise and asked him to hold but from far I can hear him screaming... 'No...no...noooo Ammi noooo'.

Laaaaa takut ka???

Hahaha.....whatever it is, I bought 1 set of the tortoise for RM 13.00. On the way back home, I have to hang it behind while he sat in front. He still refused to hold the cage or even getting near the tortoise.  At home I tried few times to let him to be nice with his new pet but he still refused.

Later,

surprise...surprise, that night on the same day he started to love his new pet already. He can now hold the cage and kiss the cage as if kissing that tortoise.

Me : 'What animal is this sayang?'

Azfar : 'Toti'

Me : 'What is his name?'

Azfar : 'Toti'

Me : 'Okay...that's good enough'

So it is official now that the name of the tortoise is Mr Toti.

Azfar : 'Hai...this is my new pet, Mr Toti'

From now on his daily routine is to clean the cage, change the water and feed Toti. Of course it has to be done under my supervision. If it is not,...ohhhh just I don't want to imagine what will happen.

Udang XXL Masak Kari Nasi Kandaq Style....wallaaaa

Memandangkan I suka makan dan suka sangat masak, jadi 'entry' pertama untuk tahun 2013 ialah MAKANAN!!

Kalau tengok tajuk 'post' memang lap air liur punyakan....tehehehehe. Ni semua gara-gara tak puas makan masa beraya ke rumah saudara En Zairin masa raya tahun lepas. Selalunya kalau udang XXL kat restoran nasi kandar memanggggg cekik darah. I walaupun teringin ke mengidam ke memang tak sanggup nak ambil....bukan nak kata kedekut sangat ke apa tapi sebab harganya yang melampau ya hamat...tak boleh diterima oleh akal logik I ni....ishhh. Pastu udangnya kepala je besar, isinya...alahaiiii....haiii...haiiii.

Kebetulan ada satu hari tu I pergi Pasar Basah Seksyen 6 Shah Alam. Tetiba ternampak udang besarrrrr punya. Jadi I tengok tag dia, 'Udang Laut RM 32/500gm'....kalau 1kg RM64....apeeee???....tapi ermmmmm...udangnya besau-besau dan segar-bugar (badan besar) ...tergoda iman I uuuu... Tak boleh tahan, runtuh iman I, akhirnya ambil jua. Ala bukannya tiap-tiap minggu beli camnikan. Dah alang-alang ambil 1kg terus...ahaksss.

Wokehhh...jom masak!!

Bahan-bahan A:

1kg Udang Kertas saiz XXL (saiz M pun boleh)

7 ulas bawang merah - hiris halus

3 ulas bawang putih - hiris halus

1 inci halia - ketuk

Rempah 3 sekawan - kulit kayu manis, buah pelaga dan bunga lawang

2 sudu besar sos tiram

3-4 sudu besar kicap masin

Minyak untuk menumis - lebihkan, nanti dah masak boleh buang

Air

Bahan-bahan B:

Jadikan pes.

4 sudu besar serbuk kari ikan (I guna Baba's)

2 sudu besar serbuk kurma (I guna Adabiiii)

Cara-cara:

1. Panaskan minyak dan tumis rempah 3 sekawan dulu, dah naik bau baru tumis bawang dan halia. Tumis seketika.

2. Perlahankan api sedikit dan masukkan pes. Sentiasa kacau supaya tak hangus. Kalau dah kering masukkan air sedikit dan tumislah sehingga agak garing. 

3. Bila dah garing masukkan air untuk jadikan kuah,agak-agaklah kepekatan dia. Dah mendidih masukkan pula sos tiram dan kicap masin. Kalau kurang masin tambah garam.

4.  'Adjust' rasa dan kepekatan. Bila dah puas hati baru masukkan udang. Jangan terlalu lama masak sebab udang kalau keras sangat tak sedap.

Siap!!!

Bali, Indonesia Part 3

Part 1
Part 2

Hari ke-3 En Zairin ambik supir. Namanya supirrr Mahathir...eh..eh..bukan Tun Dr Mahathir ye. 

Destinasinya...'Mana-mana aja pak asalkan bukan ke temple lagi' 

'Tapi saya mau lihat itu Barong dance'...ujarnya pak Jerin.

On the way....aduhai pening kepala tengok traffic kat Bali ni. All the way from hotel untuk ke tempat Barong dance ni memang I pening, Azfar pulak asyik nak melekat jer..last-last tertidur.

Agaknya dia pun pening kepala kot. I pun Zzzzz jugak tapi sekejap jer sebab nak tengok keadaan sekeliling.

Barong Dance Center.

Masuk-masuk ada satu macam bau.....*Pening lagiiiiiii*

Komen : Takkan datang untuk kali ke-2 or ke-3.

Lepas tu on the way to Gunung Berapi Kintamani, pak supir tanya mau ke tempat-tempat yang dia cadangkan tak ( tak ingatlah semua tempat yang dia sebut).....hmmmmm....En Zairin kurang berminat tapi I nak singgah ke tempat seni lukisan. Saja nak tengok. 

Mahal jugak harganya. Tapi I takde niat nak beli pun

Sebenarnya tak boleh tangkap gambar, tapi tak perasan.

Yang ni pun on the way to Kintamani. Ni tourist attraction jugak, untuk tengok padi di lereng bukit.

Di situ pun ada jual souvenirs. Cantik pinggan hiasan dia, buat dari tanah liat. Nampak mahal tapi bila dah tawar-menawar sampai tauke kedai pun naik menyampah, I convert to MYR cuma belas-belas je harga dia....murahhhhhnya. Kalau kat Malaysia mau dekat RM200...agaknyalah.

Terserlah betul ketembaman I.

On the way jugak, kawasan kampung. Masa ni dah start rasa sejuknya.

Haaa ko. Kalau dah camni kabusnya, ko rasa sejuk ke panas? Tak prepare pun ngan baju tebal bagai. Azfar pakai sleeveless punya baju, tu yang aku terpaksa sarung t-shirt algi satu.

Takde rezeki kami untuk tengok Gunung Berapi Kintamani. Cuaca tak baik...*sampai gigit jari Azfar tahan sejuk*

Walau apa pun, untuk datang kali kedua, mungkin tidak.

Kami ada makan kat satu Restoran atas ni. Katanya halal. Kami takde pilihan, perut dah berbunyi...kepala dah pusing. Dah bayar untuk buffet tapi tetiba tekak terasa kembang jer. 

Sudahnya aku makan buah, pisang goreng dan bubur pulut hitam. En Zairin makan nasi dan lauk ikan.

On the way turun kalau ikutkan nak singgah tempat kopi tapi tutup pulak. Jadi kami terus dibawa ke tempat shopping. I tak ingat nama tempat tu....maaf ye. Tempat dia kecik je, macam 1 lorong jalan jer kedai-kedainya. 

Kat situ jugak kami makan lagi sebab ternampak nasi padang. I dan Azfar makan nasi dan lauk ayam...tapi tekak tak berkenanlah cara masakannya. En Zairin yang dah makan tadi pun makan lagi...tak tahan tengok ayam tu katanya.

Kemudian teruskan lagi perjalanan ke Kecak Dance Center. On the way tu singgah Masjid....solat.

Masa kami sampai belum bukak lagi. Memandangkan Azfar tido,jadi I tunggu dalam kereta. Lama jugak menunggunya.

Kami antara orang yang terawal sampai, jadi kena tunggu lagi untuk hall ni penuh. Azfar memang tak nak duduk diamlah. Terpaksalah main kejar-kejar dengan dia.

Kalau tak silaplah, kami tak tunggu sampai habis betul-betul sebab banyak nyamuk dan Azfar dah bosan, dok keluar masuk keluar masuk...haishhh.

Sebelum balik kami mintak supir singgah di mana-mana fastfood restaurant yang ada. Jalan punya jalan nampak Pizza Hut. Okaylah tu.

Sampai hotel, mandi makan rehatkan diri pastu belek hasil tangkapan. Ni sebahagian.

Tidurrrr....untuk esok pulak.

Chocolateeeeee....Dip n Dip Bangsar

This place is meant only for chocolate lovers. Left, right, up down, back and front is only about chocolate. To be honest, please share whatever you would like to eat and do not order sweet drinks. Mineral water will do. In our case we were so excited and hungry at the same time so we ordered as above and fruit smoothies as our drinks....hahhhhh...so muakkkk. En Zairin can't even finish his Molten Cake...what a waste.

Total damaged = RM 100 ....erkkkk. Nak rasa...lalalalala.

Dip n Dip located at Jalan Telawi 3 Bangsar.
