Should I or shouldn’t I?

Hubby I tu kan hari2 suruh I join Twitter sebab dia kata follower dia cuma 3 orang aje! Dia nak I join semata2 suruh tambahkan followers dia bukan sebab dia nak tau apa yang I buat every second of the day, hikhikhik….

Pastu sejak dia kemaruk dengan Twitter ni, bangun pagi terus check his Twitter and trending kat Twitter (see, I belajar the new word ‘trending’ from him, hahahaha). Pastu sibuk bagitau I apa yang the latest trending and what the people he follows are tweeting about.

I tau lah everytime you excitedly tell me about the trending and what people (who I tak kenal langsung2) say, I selalunya akan buat muka fascinated and tadah telinga but sebenar2nya, masuk telinga kiri keluar telinga kanan most of them, hikhikhik….

If you were to ask me to summarise what you have said to me, memang I wouldn’t have a clue, hahahaha…

Sorry love….

So sekarang ni I tengah fikir sama ada nak join Twitter or not.

Should I or shouldn’t I?

He kept on telling me, “It’s just like blogging but microblogging. You can do it anywhere .”

I said to him, maybe I should tweet about the embarassing questions Miss 7 asks us everyday which will definitely fill up the hours, hakhakhak….

starting with, “Were you and Dad already married when you had us?”

That would be fun!

Tonite for dinner, I made fish n chips. Chips tu I baked but fish tu I goreng. I know I tengah berdiet but I do still eat a few fattening food .

Tapi my plate penuh dgn salad so I feel happy, hehehe

and I makan 2 small pieces aje of the fish which was really yummy .

Eh, apasal my fish rupa dia macam pisang goreng ye?

Alamak……kan dah teringin nak makan pisang goreng pulak!

The making of fresh pasta

Nasib baik lah I’m ‘jobless’ sebab I spent last night and a lot of time hari ni asik men checking my email inbox and spambox aje, hahaha. I have no idea berapa banyak emails I answered hari ni (terasa macam kerja kat office aje pulak nya asik answer emails, hikhikhik).

Sampaikan my Windows Live mail bagi pop up message kat I kata I dah exceed the limit of emails that I can send in a day!

Say what????

Tak pernah2 seumur hidup I exceed my sending email limit ni Cik Windows weh, hahahaha. Terpaksalah I gi y7mail online pulak untuk answer all the emails .

(Macam ni agaknya perasaan PA/media person artis2 fofular tu kan, sure tension aje sbb hari2 kena jawab email peminat )

Tapi dalam jobless2 I sibuk answer email, sempat gak I gi beramah mesra dengan kebun I pagi tadi, kemas2 and vacuum rumah sikit2, lipat baju bertimbun2, kemas/selongkar bilik and almari Miss 7 cari sumber kat mana datangnya semut2 kat dalam bilik dia, basuh pinggan mangkuk, kemas dapur and also made fresh egg fettucine from start to finish with Miss 11 and also did 30 minute exercise!

Hah! Sape kata I duduk rumah tu maksudnya jobless weh!!!!!!

I bukan Aladdin ada genie boleh kerah buat semua ‘jobs’ or chores kat atas tu .

It’s called good time management, hikhikhikhik….

Miss 7 ikut The Other Half to work today so I spent the day with Miss 11 making pasta from scratch. Seronok jugak lah, we spent nearly 2 hours rolling and shaping the pasta dough.

Masa ni dah habis all the rolling and making it into fettucine. Tapi Miss 11 nak buat shape sendiri using cookie cutters. She made australia-shaped pasta .

This is the fettucine we made after it’s been left to dry. Best bila nampak rupa ala2 fettucine jual kat kedai, hahaha.

I made marinara, grape tomato n broccoli fettucine for dinner tonite using the fresh pasta.

I kadang2 suka this plain takde sos pasta sebab the pasta taste comes through and not the sauce.

Memang sedap sangat makan fresh pasta compared to shop bought ones ni. Kembang vontot Miss 11 sebab The Other Half puji kesedapan her pasta .

Tapi kan, tak kuasa I nak buat fresh pasta every time nak makan pasta, hehehe.

I used this recipe for the basic pasta dough.

Smelling the roses

Cepat2 I letak another N3 malam ni sebab nak letak ke bawah entry rahsia tu, hehehe….

Susah weh bila ada anak2 ni, hikhikhikhik……

Entry ni kita layan gambar aje lah ye

Ni dinner I malam tadi. I teringin sangat nak makan masak asam pedas ikan. Sebab The Other Half nak makan kari and nasi but I tak terasa pulaknya nak menelan kari so I masak lah asam pedas just for me .

Asam pedas I malam tadi sungguh complete, siap dengan bunga kantan semua! Memang best . I ambik recipe Jun kat MyResipi. Thanks ye Jun, memang kaw kaw nya .

And ini pulak dinner we all malam ni. I made chicken burritos for everyone else but since I dah kenyang makan banyak leftovers for lunch tadi, I made chicken burrito salad for me

I just carik2 the tortilla bread on the salad and dollop some mashed avocado and salsa on it

Hah, ini pulak muka budak yang menanya macam2 itu.

Kids are so innocent, aren’t they

Entry rahsia

Tadi Cik Min ajar kat blog dia macam mana nak buat entry berpassword. Thank you so much Cik Min. So I thought I might try it tonite with this entry. Ini bukan entry sessi anyam ketupat, ini cuma entry yang I tak nak anak2 I baca aje, hehehe. Tapi sorry lah sebab I tak tau macam mana nak buat the things I wrote look nice nak dibaca. They look sangat2 bercelaru, macam takde line break langsung :-(.

(part ni I tak belajar lagi macam mana nak buat, hehehehe)

so, kalau ada sape2 yang nak baca, email I ke lemongrass@y7mail.com for the password ye

A gorgeous morning by the creek

We had such a lovely morning going out for that ride to the ‘creek’. Kat sini panggil creek tapi kat M’sia, panggil longkang kot, hahahaha.

When I first came to Australia and pergi jalan2 ronda and saw signs saying, ‘………… creek’. I expected macam sungai kecik with air mengalir deras and penuh dengan ikan lah kan. Well, that’s what I thought creek meant.

But Australia ni kan one of the driest countries in the world so bila you jalan2 nampak that creek sign, what you would most probably see is this empty dry tanah with not a drop of water to be found. Lagi lah kalau you all pergi masa Summer .

When there’s heavy rainfall, baru lah that creek will be filled with water and probably ada a few river animals swimming in it.

Anyway, so tadi we all pun pergi lah picnicking sambil konon2nya mencedok anak ikan kat tepi parit ni. Tak kuasa weh I nak picnicking tepi parit kalau kat M’sia unless memang I nak diet lah, hahaha.

So, layan lah ye some (well, loads actually ) photos I took there.

Miss 11’s lilac bike, my light blue bike, Miss 7’s purple bike and The Other Half’s black bike .

Sampai2 aje terus menangguk di air jernih.

He’s trying to catch yabbies but sampai balik takde sekor yabby pun dapat di tangkap, most probably takde yabbies langsung at this creek. Kempunan I nak makan yabbies malam ni, hahahaha.

Kan best kalau dapat tangkap the ducks, bolehlah I buat roast duck malam ni .

Or the ibis…

Or the swamp hen….

But what they caught were…

anak2 ikan and anak2 prawns. Buat lekat celah gigi pun tak cukup, hahaha.

“Jom pergi tempat lain, maybe ada mak ikan n pak ikan and big prawns that we can find!”

Sungguh concentrate mengira anak2 ikan dalam bekas .

How many fish did I catch?

Watching the girls……….

And wajah tuan punya blog .

I pun konon2nya nak lah tangkap anak ikan sekor dua .

Oh yeah, we also found so many raspberry brambles along the creek/river and penuh dengan buah. Tapi tak berani nak ambik sebab takut mana tau the council workers just poisoned them.

Sayang betul…..
