It has started….

Sesak nafas I hari ni….

Rambang mata I hari ni…..

So many voices in my head hari ni……

But iman I still kuat sangat2 hari ni……

Hikhikhikhik Open-mouthed smile

For you guys yang tak tau, hari ni is the start of the Boxing Day Sale or Post Christmas sale.

Punyalah ramai manusia at the shopping complex tadi, pintu tak bukak lagi dah punyalah ramai yang kerumun depan the screen doors (termasuklah I, hahahaha).

Muka sorang2 memang nampak berkobar2 sungguh nak rembat barang yang diidam2kan itu Smile.

I tak beli apa sangat tadi pun sebab malas nak queue up untuk bayar. (Lega tukang bayar credit card bila I balik cuma dengan 1 receipt aje, hahahaha).

Tefal pans tengah 50% off, I yang tak rasa nak beli tadi pun terpergi jugak ke aisle pots and pans. Nasib baik all yang I minat n murah dah out of stock, selamat duit I Winking smile.

Tadi masa kat the shops, I made sure I tak lalu anywhere near bags and shoes stores sebab I takut sangat2 jadi ‘panggilan pulau’. I takut tersangkut kat situ and tak tau nak cari jalan pulang, seram kan!

Since I tak gilers bershopping tadi, so takde lah benda yang I boleh tayang hasil rembatan (boleh percaya ke? hikhikhik).

Anyhow, malam ni for dinner, The Other Half offered to cook dinner (with The Little Misses’ help). But I still had to help ‘direct’ sebab tak jumpa cari bahan lah, tak jumpa cari senduk lah, hikhikhik….

They made duck pasta with tomato pesto. Duck to leftovers from last night, they just shredded the flesh masukkan dalam pasta. And tomato pesto from the jar so memang senang lah for them nak masak.

I think too many cooks spoil the broth especially when the kitchen is so tiny like our kitchen, hehehe.

And ini pulak gambar Miss 7 jadi chef last week baking choc chip cookies mostly by herself.

Shidah,
Kalau you join I masa boxing Day sale, habislah all the corelles nanti, hikhikhik....

Ella,
I dah post the recipe tonite :-)

Gina,
Heran jugak ye Adelaide tutup on Boxing Day and on Sunday. Selalunya Adelaide lah yg paling laju bila part sale ni.

Kak Azie,
once in a blue moon aje diaorang ada mood nak masuk dapur, hehehe

Sooyaree,
It's nice kalau temperature tak soaring macam yesterday n today. Pening kepala I because it's too hot!

Noir,
It's already ingrained into our subconscious that we can't go past any sale sign! :-)

Blu4sky,
Kalau takde buku recipe depan dia, I lah nanti yg kena tell her 1 by 1. Bila ada buku, she can read herself, hehehe

Imanamani,
That's right! Miss 7 kata, she can finally use her apron n hat in the kitchen :-)

Ayu,
I guess lebih kurang kot rasa dia dgn itik kat nasi itik tu. I tak pernah makan nasi itik but hubby I pernah makan kat food court Pavillion :-).
Nanti I carikan ye kalau jumpa :-)

Kaynisa,
I dah letak recipe kat N3 tonite :-)

TTM,
Uish, awat tak beli? You demam ke masa shoppping tu? hikhikhik :-P
Nanti raya I suruh dia bukak bisnes cookies :-)

Beattey,
I dah letak recipe tu. Cubalah ye :-)

Putu,
Tukang ayak tepung yg makan paling banyak the cookies kan? :-)
