I was not invited :(

Last Friday, Hefni was invited to a dinner. It was Multimedia University Convocation Dinner, and it was held at Pullman Hotel Putrajaya. Tun Dr. Mahathir and Tun Siti Hasmah were there. Huh.. jealous giler.

Anyway, I pushed him to go, because all this while I was the only one who went for dinner at hotels, etc. So let him, and who knows, he will get new contacts and business. Hehehe..

Anyway, enjoy the pictures.

The menu

Three hot and cold combinations

Soup "stocking busuk" (my hubby yg kasi nama)

Deep fried boneless chicken with spicy szechuan hotbean sauce

Fragrant wok fried rice topped with silver anchovies

stewed assorted mushroom served with broccoli and oyster sauce

Chilled fresh sea coconut with longan

Bom Alska

His verdict, so so. I have no comment.

Nothing much

I took a train from work last night. Hefni had to finish his work, so he couldn't fetch me. Frankly speaking, I hate taking public transport. It was such a turn off for me, actually. I hate being in a crowd. I hate sweating in my uniform. I hate waiting for the train. So I decided to wait at the office until 7 p.m. I hope by that time no more long line at the station.

Well, I was right. It was quite a smooth ride though. From my office I took a monorail at Raja Chulan station to Hang Tuah. The monorail was there when I reached the terminal. I took off at Hang Tuah to catch up LRT Ampang Line (it was known as STAR LRT before), and I don't have to wait long also. Lucky.

When I reached Ampang station, apparently they have shifted the taxi stand to the other side of the station. Well, ok. As long as people waiting in queue for the cab, I don't mind. But it started to rain when I got the cab. I totally forgot about the new rate. Now it's RM3 for the first, I don't know hour or km. What I know, the cost now almost double. Last time, it cost me, at most RM4.50 to reach my apartment from the LRT station, but now, it's RM7. Almost dropped my jaw, hehe. Lucky, I still have RM10 in my purse (I seldomly bring lots of cash), otherwise I have to call my hubby and ask him to pay. Hehehe..

Anyway, along the way home, I saw there were few people wearing facial mask. I don't blame them actually, but for some reason, it makes me stuffy and uncomfortable. And I felt like I couldn't breath. That was just me I guess.

This morning I went to Santa Restaurant. This time I really melantak, revenge I guess, because I didn't go there last Saturday.

Papa Boy - R.I.P

Yesterday, coming back from Banting, Papa Boy dah kaku. He left us. He left all of us. He left lots of memories. Good memories. I remember he slept with me, right next to me, when Cuddy passed away. He had been our Boy, long before Fly. Definitely he had very, very special place in our heart. He's my Boy, the one and only Papa Boy.

He was so popular amongst the girls.

And this is his girlfriend, Mimi. Mimi loves him so much

Pa, thank you very much for all the sweet memories.
Thank you for always being by my side.
Thank you for being a very, very good boy.
Thank you for everything.
I'm sorry if I ever treated you wrong.
I'm sorry if I didn't give you the best.
I will miss you so much.
Nobody will ever replace you in my heart.
Rest in peace,
my dear Boy.

p/s: I thought I was strong, but as I write this, I can't stop my tears from falling down. I realize now, how much I love and miss Papa boy.

French Onion Soup

Akhirnya, kiter tunaikan juga hajat hubby untuk merasa onion soup. Lama dah dia "merengek" tu. Yelah, kiter bekerja, jadi kalau nak cuba resepi baru selalunya tunggu hujung minggu. Tapi bila dah belek-belek beberapa website, taklah sesusah mana pun. Jadi gagahkan dirilah nak buat. Lagipun, kalau white onion tu tak digunakan, takut rosak pula. Rugi je beli.

Basically I just need

Dan inilah hasilnya...


Kalau ikutkan, cheddar cheese tak berapa sesuai, sebab bila masuk dalam oven, it was not melted. Turns out jadi macam kerepek pula. Lagi satu, kat rumah takde thyme dan french bread, jadi kiter tak letak thyme and substitute french bread dengan burger bun. Hubby loves it, and mission accomplished.

Good deal

I saw one guy selling vegetable, just outside Ampang Point Shopping Complex. It's all prepacked and he sold it at RM2/pack. And I ended up buying this:


6 potatoes in a pack. Buat potato chips sedap tau...


4 big onions in a pack

It was really good bargain. Usually, 1 white onion can cost you almost RM10, but I got 4 for RM2. And now my husband is asking me to cook Onion Soup.

Gym at the apartment

Wow, my apartment now has its own gym. Has to pay RM20/monthly. Which is OK, but you can not expect much. Nothing like True Fitness, no lady's area and all that. But it has sauna.

May be I should register. I need to start exercising again. I think I'm getting debab now, even I'm on no-rice diet. Not like the first month. I lost around 5kgs that time! *sigh*

Missing Kak Chun dan Abang Zaini

I came back late last night. Not as late as before. I finished at 8 p.m. I'm glad I finished my work yesterday, otherwise Monday will be very super hectic day for me.

Anyway, my hubby had not taken lunch yesterday. He only ate dates in the evening. Since he was quite hungry, I suggested satay as our dinner. Of course none other than Zaini Satay. We missed them sooo much. We had a plan to eat satay last week, but they were closed for a week. Rupa-rupanya, Kak Chun dan Abang Zaini pergi Umrah. Alhamdulillah.

No wonder. Kak Chun looked sooo berseri last night with white tudung, while Abang Zaini wearing kopiah.

So, we ordered 10 cucuks of chicken and another 10 cucuks of beaf, plus nasi impit. Yum..yum.. unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera. I would love to show off their tasty, juicy and big satay here. May be later. Since my hubby was hungry, we finished 20 cucuks just like that. Otherwise, 5 cucuks each person, sudah betul-betul full.

They have been in business for more than 30 years. Cukup respect this couple. Most of their children study abroad, ada yang ke UK ada yang ke Japan. One of them, medical doctor. Jangan tak tau, kalau tengah musim sakura tu, both of them will fly to Japan tau!

For me, cukup susah nak cari orang yang betul-betul ikhlas nak berniaga. Kak Chun always asks her clients to comment her satay and kuah kacang. She will definitely listen to her clients. Really, really puas makan satay dia. Her satay, is much, much better than Satay Kajang. God bless both of them.
