birthday lunch and birthday cake

So, she finally turned 7 today!

Happy birthday gorgeous daughter. May your life be always blessed, may happiness surrounds you and may your dreams and wishes come true.

The Other Half had to go to work the whole day today so we gave her her presents last nite.

IMG_5235

Just some Toy Story Lego sets and a big cuddly panda :-). She got Playmobile farm set, a hand puppet and a book from Nana n Pop and a ‘pinprint’ from Miss 11. She’s muy happy! :-D.

And today, we had our first guests at this new house for lunch sambil sambut birthday Miss 7, Sheri n her family. Saje je jemput them for lunch sebab konon2nya nak try makan kat the undercover area lah. Ye lah kan, dah beli the set, might as well use it often since the weather is really nice now. But I tak buat BBQ, tak kuasa I nak hidupkan the arang and nak jaga the arang. One day, we’ll buy the gas BBQ with the wok burner. Masa tu baru lah boleh beria masak2 kat luar kan, hehehe.

IMG_5236

Best weh makan kat outdoors ni! Bertambah2 we all makan tadi! Kalau hari2 makan kat luar, alamat sendat lah my jeans nanti, hahahaha…. Cuma the flies lah nanti yang for surenya akan merosakkan keamanan our outdoor meals masa Summer nanti!

IMG_5239

I masak sempoi aje, thai beef salad and kuey teow goreng with seafood and keropok. The adults 3 orang tu aje yang melantak the salad :-).

IMG_5237

Inilah Thai beef salad ni. Macam2 daun I letak, mixed lettuce leaves, coriander leaves, mint leaves including bean sprouts, cherry tomatoes and mangga muda. Kat sini pun ada mangga muda you, hehehe. I letak 3 biji cili ala2 cili api aje tapi pedasnya Ya Rabbi kat my lidah! Maybe banyak sgt kot I termakan the chili the first suap tu, tu yg pedas tak hengat. I left some for The Other Half for dinner and dia selamba derk aje makan and siap cakap lagi, “tak lah pedas mana” (setelah di alih bahasa).

After lunch pulak, upacara nyanyi lagi birtday, tiup lilin and potong kek. I menyampah betul guna the new oven ni sebab still tak adapt lagi to its quirks and temperaments. I baru baked cakes 2 kali aje so far in the oven and both berkerak which means too hot lah kan even though I dah reduce the temp quite a lot. Takpe, slowly slowly berkenalan dengan hati budinya kan, baru lah boleh ngam lepas tu, hehehe…. Kalau tak ngam gak, adalah yg kena buang kat Swan River nanti jadi tukun!

IMG_5241

I like this photo even though it’s a bit gelap. She looked so happy to see the cake :-).

IMG_5244

Ini second time dia kena tiup lilin sebab I tak tersempat nak ambik gambar first time tu.

IMG_5248

Dah kena robek the lilin, baru I tersedar yg I tak ambik gambar the cake lagi. I made orang butter cake with choc chips inside.

Masa her birthday party on Saturday nanti, kena buat another cake. Bercinta I nak bermain dengan the oven!

Happy birthday Zahra. Moga panjang umur, murah rezeki.

Cantik kek you, very sweet. Boleh I copy design dia tak? Next month Hana's birthday. Since Omar n Hana birthday one day after the other, kenalah I cari kek deco yg simple tp menarik. I sgt2 minat ngan design yg ni.

Lagi satu, anak Sheri masih kat AIC ke?

Lya,

Zeta,
Kek tu I iced, Miss 11 letak choc egg kat around the cake and buat nombor 7. I tulis nama and letak the strawberries. Kerjasama! hehehe
Ish, apalah nya word verification ni, menggatal! hahahaha

Nani,
Amin...
I guna buttercream aje and malas nak colour2. Pastu choc eggs tu yg mcm2 colour bagi naik seri :-).
I hope bday party dia berjalan dgn lancar gak! :-)

MamiAudrey,
thanks for the wish and doa,amin...
That beef thai salad memang sedap, because it's crunchy, healthy and filling! :-)

Nora,
thanks for the wish. Boleh aje you nak cpoy design tu, takde copyright, hehehe ;-).
Ha'ah, anak dia masih kat situ lagi. You pernah terserempak dgn dia ke?

Zety,
thanks :-)

Mamatiamia,
thanks :-). I love refreshing salads masa warm weather ni :-).

Ayu,
thanks ye sbb sudi baca my blog :-) and for the wish.

Noor,
Thanks for the wish. Dulu masa kat sekolah agama, ustazah Zahra slalu panggil dia flower, hehehe. And dia pun perasan wangi lah, hahaha

Julie,
bukan setakat sos cili aje. Macam2 jenis Cap Ayam ada jual! hahaha

lemongrass said...

Auntie Meriam,
Amin ya rabbal al amin

T,
when Summer comes, salads are always nice to eat kan esp the filling ones like the beef salad :-)

Net,
thanks lah sbb sudi jugak comment :-). Macam I lah bila baca your entry, tak tau nak comment mcm mana sbb sedih kdg2 :-(

Ecah,
thansk for the wish ye.
Oven tu kan I rasa 1 necessity, sbb memang senang klu nak bakar kek or biskut bila anak2 tiba2 teringin nak makan. Diaorang dah happy klu kita cuma curah coklat cair atas kek tu :-).

Chik Na,
I ni malas sikit nak hias lebih2 tu yg deco pun sempoi sgt2 :-)

Wati,

Kak Zai,
Itulah doa saya utk the girls hari2 :-).
