Adeh, sejak dua tiga hari ni memang rasa mcm tak cukup tangan aje nak buat everything. Itu baru kena melayan kerenah anak dua and hubby sorang aje, kalau anak lagi ramai and hubby dua tiga orang, memang takde chance nak rehat langsung lah, hahahaha. Alhamdulillah, Allah cuma benarkan bersuami sorang aje kan, banyak hikmah nya tu :-). And dapat pulak The other half yang tak berat tulang menolong which is a real bonus for me (even though he does need the occasional prodding at times baru bergerak, but biasalah kan with guys! hehehe).


Masa tengah busy macam ni lah I really really miss the food stalls in M'sia. How I wish I could just go out to the mamak stall for a paper thosai with the coconut sambal, roti telur with its kari ayam and sambal kosong, roti canai kosong and dal for The Little Misses and milo ais, kopi ais and teh ais to drink. Pastu duduk borak2 sampai berjam2, hehehe. Pastu memang tak boleh nak bosan lah makan thosai or roti canai ni hari2 sebab bukan ada 1 style of thosai and roti canai aje, macam2 style ada! The other half and The Little Misses really really love the mamak stalls kat M'sia tu, hehehe. Kalau boleh, setiap hari every breakfast, lunch and dinner nak pergi mamak stall tu. It's not just the food, it's the ambience as well kan. How I wish sometimes that I could make my 2 worlds meet and become like the Hannah Montana's song that goes...

"you get the best of both worlds"
"mix it all together and you know that"
"it's the best of both worlds"


But, our family life is here and we have to make the best of what we have kan and sentiasa bersyukur with everything......


And since there's no mamak stall here in Perth, kenalah jugak masak dinner malam ni, hehehe. Nak buat thosai memang I tak reti and nak buat roti canai, memang lah tak sempat. So, I made paprika chicken with pan-baked scones with steamed veges. Walaupun berbeza sungguh dgn thosai and roti canai, it was still delicious and was gobbled up by everyone at the table :-).

LG...tak pe lah klu kat sana tak de kedai mamak. Actually you're so lucky to have two different kind of worlds. Different culture, different people n different xperience. Your dinner pun jauh lebih mengancam dr mamak stall youuuu!!!

I sempat makan nasi lemak dgn sambal ikan bilis dan extra sambal belacan dekat mall di town of Victoria Park tp roti canai atau thosai takde la pulak..mmg dasar lidah melayu mana pegi pun nak makan makanan kita.He he he...best jugak ler. Now back home dah this morning. Cantik lah victoria park,tak jauh dr Perth City,rumah pun cantik2..tertawan rasa hati.

Mommy Mica,
wahkahkah, marah Nana nanti orang kata dia tembam :-).

Salina,
Boleh aje bila2 u nak belajar, nanti bila u dah free sikit with yr assignments, u let me know ok!

Mama_Sal,
Tu lah kan, klu kat M'sia, snng aje nak jumpa Pasar Malam, tu yg mmng slalu malas I nak masak masa duduk M'sia dulu, boleh katakan hari2 we all beli food.

Hi Colourful_Beads,
If u had told us yg u dtg Perth, boleh lah I jemput dtg rumah or at least pergi mkn2 with u guys. Perth ni for me mmng cantik bandar dia. Tu yg seronok I rasa duduk sini. :-). Thosai ada kat sini but so far tak se oomph kat M'sia,hehe.

Shaz,
how true the things you wrote. I pun slalu wish that too. My kids pun slalu wish that too. They miss their M'sian family :-(.
