Madamoiselle & Holi-day 4

Had just got back from the movies. Watched 'I am Legend' with the siblings and I've gone "mental" nya org. Aaargh!! The movie was actually, alright, if you like that kind of story.. well , not so much for me. I feel tense. It's the same feeling when I watched '28 weeks later', only this time it's Will Smith, I love it when he acts so i like this one a bit better than '28 weeks later'. The sad part of the story, was his loneliness, and his loss on Samantha and of course, his sacrifice of his life. Okay, I've talked too much. You'd better watched it yourself. It's a good one to watch but tense. I'd give it an overall a 7.5 out of 10. And it's because Will Smith is really a very good actor.

Synopsis of the movie :

Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable...and manmade.
Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City...and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected", victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark, and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path.

Other than watching a movie, I am at the moment having a sleep over at Rizqun...hehehe. Erra's mommy booked a room so all of us siblings, crammed in for a sleep over. A full house it is but it's fun. We had a small celebration just now for Erra...a cake eating session for Erra's birthday in the room. Oh by the way, I finally made the cake last nite. Despite of my tiredness, I finally managed to make one. Though, there's just so many things happening while making it. It didn't t turn out as it supposed to be. Yeah, I wanted to make it red but end up giving it a blue. I'll make a red one for mommy's birthday next month then. The cake however, although tasted just fine, but the icing was a wee bit too sweet. Had put in a lil too much on the icing sugar, sorry sis, I'll tone down the sugar next time. I was not focused when making the cake. haha... One more thing, the cake was supposed to read " Happy Bday Erra" somehow after finish making it, it seems like it says " Happy Day Berra" ..Really!! Never make a cake when you feel sleepy & tired. Whatever you do won't turn out right. I'm fortunate that the cake is still a bit presentable and edible. :p

Birthday girl on cutting cake..sorry, forgot to bring in the candles!

See the toblerone melts in the cake

We had dinner at KJ restaurant just across the mall. We had always loved the 'Assam Pedas Fish' there so we went there to satisfy our craves. Nyamaannzzz.....

It's late now. I gotta sleep. Till then, it's 18 more days of hiatus. Au revoir!

Madamoiselle & Holi-Day 3

Guess what i did last nite?

hahaha...I've made this out of boredom, well, out of hunger too! Had seen the recipe few days ago and I just need to try it. It was a bit burned but thats how i like my Roti Canai is, dry and brownish. Okay mine has black spots on it. hmmm....

The second attempt was much better. I manage to stop having it burnt too much. Tell you this, making the dough was easy. But trying to roll it out and make it fly like the indians do, was a hell of a job. I couldn't do it no matter how many times i've tried. I guess I was never good in tossing off food then. So what I did was just press in the dough till it became quite thin and put it into a hot flat pan. Does it taste like the real Roti Canai? Almost, except that its a bit thicker than its supposed to be and it needs to be more crispier. But i still enjoy it since the taste is still there. :)

Anyhow, today was another tiring day. I think, it's a routine these 3 days to wake up at 9 and a knock on the door by mom, telling to get ready for another hospital visit. This time, we're told that the doctor needs to see my dad's siblings for a briefing regarding my grans health status. When we got to the hospital, the nurse told that the meeting will be held at 2pm. That made a small fuss out of my dad, aunts and uncles coz they should have told that earlier before everyone came! Half of 'em went back to the office while the other half stayed and accompanied granny.

By midday, went to "Soto Bunut" at kiulap for a Soto buffet lunch. Nyummy! Hadn't been there for quite a while. Then at two, the elderlies went for the briefing while i waited with grans on her bed. About half an hour later, The meeting was over and good news, granny was able to go back home till further notice and further action. yey! Grans was indeed happy. She was quite worried with what she has gone through and the fight has just started. Oh, i kept on talking about my grans in the hospital but didn't mention why she's there. Grans has cancer, we all recently discovered. I don't really know the english word for it but it's "kanser Rahim' in malay. Its on it's first stage but still it worries everyone. Hopefully, she gets through all this well.

We got back home by four this afternoon and i was already tired. I've made a couple of this for a munch.

Just a simple fill for the tummy. My parents loves garlic bread for breakfast or teatime and so do i. It goes perfect with just hot tea.

Okay, i need a rest. A rest before my next baking session for Erra's bday. Boy! I feel lazy already, but i've made a promised to the others that i'll make one for erra. Oh well, I have to keep my promise. :p

Till then, It's 19 more days for my hiatus. Will blog again soon.

Madamosielle & my holi-Day 2

I just woke up from my 'beauty-nap' and I'm feeling whooaaahhh....tired! It's almost 6pm now and I'm thinking of making something edible afterwards.

This morning, I was awoken by a knock at the door and it was only Nine! Hey, for someone on a holiday, that was an early time to wake up! Especially when I was having late night sleeps. Anyway, Mom told me to get ready to go to the hospital coz granny was having her 'endoscopy' or something today. Waa!! I thought it was not confirmed so I thought we will be visiting her in the afternoon and so I thought I had other plans for today. Too much thoughts there..Sigh! So off we went to the hospital and granny was already in the O.T as we were a wee bit late. The rest of my uncles and aunts were at the hospital's canteen having tea and we joined them since it may take time for granny to be out of the O.T. I ate breakfast there...sooo, so hungry.

At almost midday, Grans was done and was sent to the ward. She was still unconscious. Everyone got hungry by noon and we had lunch at "Aminah Arif Restaurant" and had "Ambuyats'. Sorry no pics though... was too busy stuffing food to the tummy..hahaha.. It was fun having lunch with a quarter of dad's siblings. It's not always we sit down having lunch together this lot.

After lunch, we all headed back to the hospital and waited for granny to wake up. She finally did at around 2-ish and by then, i was already sleepy and tired. You know how it is in hospitals. Limited seats, nothing to see, a long wait thus becomes tired.

And oh, I met my ol' mutual fren again. I finally had the opportunity to talk with her. And i finally, asked what's with her bandage thingy. She had a small mishap in her house and had slit her veins [on the hand] by a glass accidentally. Eeuwghh!! I was freaking shocked with that. Her veins were "stapled" [what? not stitched? errr... what do you mean by "staple"??] as she had told me and she couldn't move her fingers to her elbow. That is scary..veins cut off ...waaaaa!!!! It's been a month and she haven't recovered... uh..Scarryyy!

By the way, today is my niece's Birthday...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ERRA!!

Boy! She's not a kid anymore... nine yrs old and i still think she's still 5 hahaha..they sure grew so fast. Anytime, she'll be a teenage then. Her mommy wants to celebrate her birthday belatedly on this Thursday night. I 've already made plans to have another cake baking project. Haven't decided much on how the cake is going to be. They say she likes Blue but i wanted to make a different colour..Red! Why??? coz I wanted to make a heart shape cake and it's nice if i colour it red. A red-hearty cake. I don't want to make another blue cake coz i did that already. Well, we'll see...how it'll goes. I'll sure to post it here when I'm done.

In the meantime, I need to go to the kitchen. There's something in mind that i wanted to make tonight. Another first try recipe i wanted to experiment on. Hope it's gonna be what it supposed to be.

Till then, It's 20 more days of work-hiatus.. I'm off to the kitchen!!

**Edited on 13th Dec 2007**

Gosh! I'm a terrible aunt. Erra was not turning 9 but 11 instead. How cud i miss that. She's 11 yrs old already and i tot she was turning 9. hahha..See! I still see her that small of a kid! My other niece was the one who's 9 yrs old. Goodness me... I just have 4 nieces so far yet couldn't keep track of their ages.

Madamoiselle & my Holi-Day 1.

My first day of holiday....at home.. yipee!! Finally, I am off from work till new year. Suka ku eh! This is my first time ever taking a really long break and I'm somewhere in the clouds already ..hahaha. Nope! no plans of going anywhere, just stay at home and have my own leisure time. In my dreams...well, my worries came to reality... i was already booked by my parents with their schedules. Everytime i had a break, they already had plans and tagged me along. Waaaaa!!! Hope they won't drag me the whole three weeks. I really need my own time to unwind.

Anyway, What have i spend on my 1st day of 'work-freedom'?

First thing in mind was to wake up late! But I was too conscious. Since the maids had gone back to their homeland last two weeks, I was super duper conscious of the house chores that needs to be done. I don't wanna be labeled the princess of the house and get mocked by my own parents so I somehow, woke up at 9am and did my laundry {whoaahh!!} . My room was a mess, but I'll leave it for tomorrow. I voluntarily cooked for lunch and glad my parents liked 'em. { They are picky with food...very hard to please}. Then afternoon, mom tagged me along for window shopping but end up, me, shopping for my baking utensils. A craze i had lately since my love for bake and cook. I had $50 flew of my pocket for that. Then pick up dad at his office and had high tea at 'Aneka Rasa Restaurant' for "Cakoi" and "Keropok Lekor"..nyum..nyum!! Then, went to the hospital to visit my granny and met an ol' mutual friend from high school. She looked the same, haven't changed much except for the bandage she had on her hand. *lol.* Didn't even asked her why, just smiled coz i was freakin' shy..hahaha... duh! Back at home, I finally had my time... surfing the net...blog hopping and now blogging my way. Dull... yeah?

Time flies and i have 21 days of work-related-hiatus. hehe.. Till then, will try to update my boring life tomorrow.

Je T'aime Madamoiselle ?

Hellew people,

Having back to the blogging world, I've realised how lots of changes happening around the Blogging Nation in the past ..err..like 2 months! New blogs are booming like mushrooms and surprisingly, frequent fav. bloggers seems to settle down from blogging. [hmm....too much of "blog"words here..]
Wow! Time do flies so fast. It feels weird seeing all the new bloggers around.... pretty kewl though, am able to "stalk" more blogs with the varieties of stuffs offered :p...

*****************************************************

Anyway, Life of my own changes as the world does, well more to my love life that is. The month of June had been like a World Love Life crisis for almost everyone i know and that includes myself. Confusions, Decisions, Risks and Pain, Rebounds and more Confusions led my world to full Unexpectations and more Acceptance to what Fate has to give. Trying to remember a quote saying that "Once a door is closed, another opens for more opportunities ", little do i know that it could happened in just a short time. After so many months of indecisive thoughts of leaving "The One", I didn't realised within a transaction of time, had i left him believing "The Other" had opened my heart to being able to accept the likeliness of having to fall in love again. Gosh!! after re-reading my sentence on that... couldn't believe how serious i was with the words. Pardon me if none of you understand it. It's been tough to let out what have been through. For sure, Leaving "The One" was a huge sacrifice i had to make for the sake of our own. And for another sure thing, "The Other" has somehow becomes a "Rebound" i needed to ignore. Whatever!

I need a break! I don't like the tone of my seriousness in my blog today...it doesn't sounded Moi. So guess i'll write another day then Bon Nuit!
