Happy Eid - 2008 & 2007

Dah 2 tahun berturut-turut saya menerima jemputan rumah terbuka daripada GACOS Research Team yang diketuai oleh Dr. Azimuddin Bahari. Sebenarnya saya banyak terlibat pada peringkat awal projek tersebut, sayalah yang menyediakan paperwork untuk mendapatkan grant daripada NAPREC.

Saya sengaja menggabungkan gambar yang diambil pada tahun tahun 2007 dan 2008 sekali, biar you all boleh buat comparison.

2007
- Masa ni still ada Zainal dan Bob
- Semua masih single lagi
- rambut Cyn leper je, muka pun ala-ala pucat
- Nora masa ni baru je join, malu-malu kucing





2008
- Zainal dah bertukar ke Institut Tanah dan Ukur Negara (INSTUN)
- Bob dah bertukar ke Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM)
- Muhaira dah kahwin (tgh pregnant 5 bulan skrg ni)
- Rambut Cyn dah ada gaya ala-ala mak datin, dah pandai make-up cantik
- Iryd nampak manis, seri nak naik pelamin hujung tahun ni agaknye
- Eija pakai kebaya, sejak akhir2 ni makin bnyk lak baju kebaya dia
- Jalil kacak makin kacak kot... kwang, kwang




lain-lain tu, you all fikirlah sendiri.

My favourite Sambal Belacan

A lot had happened during the absence of me typing in this blog. I've been busy with Ramadhan and Raya celebrations. Third week of Ramadhan, I managed to make my favourite 'sambal belacan' for fast-breaking at Eija and Cyn's place. My 'sambal belacan' was quite different from sambal belacan that usually served at any stall or restaurant in Peninsular of Malaysia. Why? Because i used a lot of anchovies (ikan bilis) and shallot (bawang merah). For those who want to try, here are the ingredients:



And here was the menu for that day...
* Sup tulang and udang masak sambal - both cooked by Eija.
* Sambal belacan and ulam-ulaman - prepared by myself.



I love eating home-cooked meals and i wish i will get a chance to try all the foods from all over the world. I have a friend who can’t appreciate any food that is not cooked her hometown way and I think it’s sad. She’s missing her chance to try new things and it also makes she not-so-exciting company when eating out. Whatever!!
