Still about the house

We managed to assemble the outdoor seating set yesterday and as soon as it was assembled, I pun jadi isteri/ibu mithali terus made peach iced tea for everyone. It was such a relaxing feeling to sit there talking bersama2 while sipping iced tea in the warm weather. Now I feel much better to be welcoming the hot Australian Summer, hehehe. The temperature is going to be in the high 20s esok so The Little Misses and I will definitely be having our lunch and afternoon tea outside :-D.

I had to ambik gambar the set aje, not the surrounding sebab the surrounding is still so very messy with all the empty boxes waiting to be thrown away :-). Luckily, the ‘hard rubbish’ collection day for our area will be next week so bolehlah we all buang all the boxes and all the unwanted stuff next week, phew! Dapatlah I bersihkan the outdoor area ni before Miss 6’s birthday party.

Told you we bought the cheap set but is still very comfy to sit on with the padded cushions, which hopefully will bertahan for a few years lah :-).

Miss 6 enjoying the afternoon warm weather reading Burke’s Backyard magazine. Mentang2 lah dah ada vege patch, gigih dia membaca that magazine, hahahaha……

Talking about vege patch, I bought some more seeds tadi since there’s still plenty of space in the vege patch for some more plants.

Hikhikhikhik…bestnya kan kalau semua sayur ni berbuah dengan jayanya. Boleh dapat gelaran peladang berjaya lah we all :-D.

Kat rumah sewa dulu, we all pernah tanam okra/bende ni tapi tanam 1 pokok dlm pot aje so bila dia berbuah, dapatlah sebiji2 sekali petik. I makan sorang pun tak kenyang sebijik tu! So, this time, maybe I’ll tanam a few pokok so bila dia berbuah, dapatlah petik banyak2 sekali gus. The eggplants, capsicum and cabbage tu pulak are quite good plants to tanam though we’ve never tried planting them before. Ini baru first time nak cuba lah. We all memang makan ketiga2 sayur ni selalu so berbaloi lah jugak nanti kalau berbuah kan :-).

And tak lupa juga one of my favourite flowers, the sunflowers. Masa kat Adelaide dulu, we planted so many sunflowers along our backfence and they were so pretty! But this time, I bought the dwarf version so it will only get up to 45cm aje tinggi nya.Tak sabar betul nak tunggu dia berbunga! :-). They’ve also got the giant sunflower variety yang boleh capai sampai 1.8-3 meters tingginya tu! Kalau I beli yg itu, mau sakit tengkuk I everytime nak tengok bunga nya, hahahaha.

Help!!!! Bilalah I nak start balik ambik gambar food ni ye?

Dinas,
betul tu, lagi murah lagi bagus when it comes to our pockets, hehehe. But they look cantik enough kan to pretend kerusi set yg mahal ;-).

Shidah,
we all beli set ni kat Bunnings aje. Dasar malas nak keluar duit banyak2! hahaha

azieazah said...

LG, sekali sekala tukar konsep foto dari makanan ke pokok ok gak.

Kalu U tanam dalam pasu, bila beruah lentok ke bawah leh patah dahan, so bila dah ada tanah luas ni, pulun la tanam sakan-sakan.

Semoga menjadi peladang berjaya.. hehehe

Tahniah berpindah kerumah baru! Another new phase in your life. Mmm.. jangan lupa pelawa I bila buat house warming. I boleh tolong basuhkan pinggan hingga menciut :-)

Unaizah said...

Cantik la set kerusi tu. Wah....leh dpt title pekebun berjaya lak lepas ni. Kalau berbuah dgn jayanya sume (Insya Allah), seronok la menuai hasilnya nanti.

Kak Azie,

Cik Som,
Kalau nak jadi tukang basuh pinggan, kena lah ada rupa2 bangla sikit, hehehe..

Unaizah,
Memang boleh dpt title tu, itu pun klu semua berbuah dgn jayanya lah and tak kena makan siput, hehehe. Tak sabar nak menunggu semua berbuah!

KOG,
Nanti masa summer, klu panas sgt, we all beli yg collapsible tu ye! Bolehlah u all tengok I berbikini, muahahaha.

Ayu,
Salam. Dah siap packing barang? Bila nak pindah? Best jugak klu duduk2 kat luar balkoni sambil baca2 novel kan. Itupun kalau si Ainnur n Faris tak kacau lah ye, hehehe

Mom's gallery,
By the time I pos ke M'sia, harga dia jadi mahal giler sbb kos postage. terus fr cheap set, jadi very mahal set, hehehe

Yazrina,
Memang seronok sitting there dibuai angin sepoi2 bahasa, hehehe

Shiori,
tu lah nya, masa duk kat rumah sewa, takde area luar langsung. So, terpendam hasrat hati nak beli set kerusi luar. Sekarang baru boleh tunaikan hasrat hati :-)

Wa la wei! Jellles Ai tengok rumah you. Outdoor sette baru tu murah ke mahal tak kisah dah beb. Yg penting you suka and suitable with your budget. Alhamdulillah.

Cita-cita awak ari ni nak jadi isteri/ibu mithali aka peladang jaya pulak lah. Dah register ngan Jabatan Pertanian/FAMA/MARDI ke belum? Jgn lupa lak. The seeds tu kalau tak habis isikan dlm plastic pun boleh dan simpan dlm peti sejuk. InsyAllah, boleh guna lagi next spring.

Can't wait to see your glamour pictures having lunch/tea. Jgn jadi ikan gelama kering sudah. Seronoknya kome ye. Teman pun numpang seronok le...

Jaja,
Kalau dah tercampak keluar tu kan, maknanya memang tak kan digunakan lah kan, hahahha

Mamalisa,
Kalau nak lagi gempak, kena tunggu we all beli BBQ cooker yg cantik lah, baru lah terasa lagi best berBBQ kan, hehehe

Afid,
Memang banyak aktiviti boleh buat, tapi tuan rumah ni kdg2 bnyk malas dari rajin, hehehe

MamaTiaMia,
The food rasa mcm lagi sedap kalau makan kat luar kan! Rasa hilang sekejap all the stress :-).
The girls memang suka betul tolong I bercucuk tanam ni esp when playing with the dirt, hehe.
I guess like you said, some people can't see the beauty of Kolo Pilah because memanglah dia tak happening compared to KL kan but we still love all these quiet places :-D.
Same like me, kalau pergi jalan, I suka pergi markets sbb nak tengok fresh produce dia, so seronok, hehehe.

Melatie,
As long as comfy and tak rabak poket, kira ok lah kan, hehehe.
Kalau I register dgn FAMA n MARDI, dpt subsidi benih and baja tak? ;-).
I pun beli seeds yg expire in 2012 so boleh guna lagi next year during Spring, tak lah membazir kan! :-D

Farah,
Salam. Apa khabar?
Summer ni we all spend kat Perth aje sbb kena simpan duit dah mausk rumah baru kan, macam2 kena beli :-).

Hanizatul,
Memang sekarang tgh nice weather nak lepak2 kat luar ni sbb not too hot and not clod either.
I rasa klu kat M'sia, memang kena ada covered area and kena pasang kipas to the max lah, hehehe.
Wah, kejap lagi lah ye you nak pindah ni. Dah siap ke packing?
