The inside and the outside

What did we do at the weekend?

Rearranging the interior deco of the house again!

A long time ago, The Other Half bercita2 nak our house to be ‘zen-like’ when it comes to furnishing which is basically the bare minimum.

Dia kata, tak lah serabut tengok kalau tak banyak furniture.

But mana boleh nak buat macam tu kan sebab bini dia ni ada hobby mengumpul segala alatan dapur and we all pun minat kumpul segala macam books.

And anak2 dia pulak suka kumpul toys which need place to store them in…

And itu belum segala macam baju lagi which also need storage areas….

And segala macam benda for the garden and things outside lagi….

So, nak tak nak, terpaksalah menyempitkan rumah dengan segala macam furniture, hahahahaha…. Smile

But during the weekend, we managed to go through the filing cabinet and  the computer area, getting rid of all the junk and what not and rearranging the area in the process.

Ini rupa the before photo when we were sorting out that area for make over.

Ini rupa the after photo selepas di make over.

But masih ada a few things that need to be tidied and hang-up on the wall which we’ll continue this weekend sebab semua dah tak larat nak kemas semalam, hehehehe….

What happened to the plastic drawers and the table?

Semua disumbat masuk kedalam shed.

The Other Half said, “everything goes into MY shed. There’s no way we can fit anything else in there!

I said to him, “I’m sure you can find ways to put more things in there. I have a magic freezer, you have a magic shed.

They look small from the outside but so many wonderful things can be stored in them!

Hahahahahahaha…..

Sambil buat kerja interior decoration, I sempat lagi buat kerja2 kebun.

I’ve planted some more flowers out the front.

This time I planted gazanias, portulaca (ros jepun), asters and dahlias.

And I planted some lettuce, snake beans and basils in the back garden.

The Other Half made this connecting trellis for the snake beans. He tied some strings between the 2 trellis.

He said, “There’ll be more areas for the snake beans to grow.

I tak tau macam mana lah I nak petik kacang2 panjang yang jauh nun on top of the trellis tu.

Dia lupa kot, bini dia ni kemetot!

Tak kuasa I kalau nak petik kacang panjang pun kena panjat tangga!

Anyway…. enough of garden and house talk, dah lama I tak tayang our dinners.

I masih masak dinner macam biasa…

Mee goreng sempoi

Beef vindaloo with cucumber raita and rice.

Sebab vindaloo tu pedas, I made chicken sate for the girls.

And on Saturday, I made cinnamon pull apart bread for post lunch dessert, afternoon tea, night time snacking, hehehehe….

I bought this humongous sack of flour a few weeks ago.

Selalunya I beli 12.5kg sack which can last us 2-3 months.

Kali ni sebab I malas nak pergi the warehouse again, I beli 25kg sack of bread flour terus.

Macam nak bukak bakery aje!

Gilers!!!!!

hahahahahahahahaha…
