Happy 2008!!!

Year 2007 has been a very eventful year for me. In Feb, Appu proposed to me. In June, our ROM (Registration of Marriage) took place. I resigned my job as Singapore Girl in July and I moved back to Penang. July was also the month we moved in to the new place. In Aug, we had our Thai Wedding in Perlis. Finally, the Indian and Chinese style Wedding in December. Phew..... (*wiping my sweat*). This is what you get if you're from mix parentage!!! But I enjoyed every part of it!! Not many people experience what Appu and I went thru.. all in the name of... WEDDING.. *giggles*.

I would like to thank our familes and friends for the help and joining us on our big day. To Jacqueline, I can't thank you enough for what you've done for us. We'll definitely will pay you a visit.. some day.. Joyce and Loo, thank you for being our photographers.. Sella, thanks for your company. I think I'll go crazy if I was doing it by myself. Thini, thanks for getting me stuff from diff part of the world. Nanthini, Ratnes mami and other cousins (including the ROTL gang), thank you so much for the beautiful Kolam. To my best friends (you know who you are), thanks for the calls to check on me and be there for me for most of the events. Last but not the least..my dearest soul mate!!! Thank you so much for putting up with my tantrums!! *lol* I think he did most of the job for me.. Making appointments, checking out the venue, catering, etc etc.. He was even doing work on his wedding day!!! Thanks, Love.

Well, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a very HAPPY 2008!! Til we meet again next year........

Beach Blanket

I've been in Penang for more than 2 months now. For some reason, I never had a chance to meet Julie or should I say Dr. Julie Wong. (sorry Jules, I just have to mention the Dr. *giggles*), Finally the day comes.. What day?? The day where this girl has some free time!

Ever since I know her (since the age of 14), her ambition is to be a doctor. I always knew she will make it one day! I remembered those days when we were in the same class, 2Jade. 3 of us - Julie, Erwan and I. Jules the brainy, Erwan the romantic novel'holic' and me the noisiest.

Jules suggested Babylon Beach Blanket as the place to meet. I've heard about the place but never stepped in. It is just beside SS (Slippery Senoritas). I fell in love with the place immediately! It has beds!!!!!! It's just like The Balcony @ Orchard Rd., Singapore. We ordered a jug of beer and Jules started telling Sella and myself about funny stories that she had encountered. Ohhh.. how I wish Erwan was there too.. She's currently at KL, in the process of becoming a school teacher.

After some time, as usual, Sella will feel restless if she's not dancing when drinking. Moreover, her gang is in SS. Gulped our beer and I dragged myself reluctantly to SS. It was so jam-packed and we were literally rubbing shoulders with everybody while walking towards the dance floor. After dancing for 2 to 3 songs we decided to call it a day but we promise to meet again on Monday for a potluck party!!!!

Oh.. I'm so tired...*yawning & stretching*. Tomorrow, I'll blog about the house party that we had yesterday. Signing off..meow..

Happy Birthday, Uncle Siva!

Last Sunday was Father's birthday. I made Cheese Cupcakes for him. It didn't turn out like the one I saw on the net but the taste is... D I V I N E.. What do you expect? It's Cheese! Lol. After having the cupcakes as appetizer, we adjourned to the RIBS Restaurant. Their pork ribs is absolutely finger licking good! Father, Mother, Aunty Leong and myself ordered the Mini Mix Grill. Amma took Salmon and Ribs while Appu Boy had Seabass and Salmon. Since Mother is a small eater, she gave the ribs and lamb to Father and the prawn to Appu. End up, she only ate a small piece of salmon... Kwang kwang kwang.... No wonder she's so small in size! I wish I can be like her but I can't resist the temptation! *big fat sigh* I finished my meal!! *burp* I'm not gonna cook any meat this week!

Laksa Lemak

Made Thai Prawn Laksa for lunch today. It took me 2 hours.. From peeling the prawns and shallots to boiling the broth and finally, cleaning the pots and pans. The verdict - Yummilicious!!!

Burger Queen

Have I ever mention that one of my favourite food is the Ramly Burger. You know.. the burger that they sell in a small stall by the roadside... Since it's not healthy, Appu always discourages me from buying it. I asked him can I do it myself? Surprisingly, he allowed me to get the chicken patty. Apa lagi, I seized the opportunity to get a bag of 650gm chicken patty.

Immediately after reaching home, I thawed the patty and started cooking my own version of Ramly Burger.. I try to make not as unhealthy as possible.. I used brown bread instead of the normal bun. I stuffed lotsa vegetables and I used Snow spread instead of oil to fry the burger.

It tasted similiar like the one we get by the roadside but it only costed about RM1.00 each. Out there, the price can go up as high as Rm3.50. Gosh! Ridiculous isn't it? I think I should start thinking about setting up a burger stall. *giggles*

Let's celebrate!

Appu Boy got promoted!!!! Congratulations, dear!! You deserve it! So, as a present I made Pandan Muffin (with the left over pandan leaves that I had from making nasi lemak yesterday)

The original plan was to make macaroons but I screwed it up.. It turn out to be a disaster.. but it didn't stop me from baking another different thing. I would not post the picture of the macaroons that I've made coz it will be a disgrace. It was in really bad shape.. *big fat sigh*.


The pandan muffins were not perfect either. I put to much of the batter in the muffin cup and the verdict : it oozed out of the cup... *shrugging*. Anyway, I can't taste the muffins today as it contain eggs. It's Thursday. Vegetarian day... Let you'll know tomorrow.

Well, I'm quite depressed on what happen to my macaroons... Arghhhh!!! Feeling hungry now.. No! I'm not gonna touch the muffins (though I'm so tempted). I think I'll eat my left over mee hoon I made for lunch. Til then, meow....
