Kitchen Gadget :)

Of late I have been spending a lot of time googling for all kinds of recipes (from curry to cookies to pancakes) and kitchen gadgets. Why? I don't know why.. It could be due to the constant reminder in FB of friends turning into the big 3 in the past few days and the fact that me too will join them in a couple of weeks. When my mom was 30, I was 6 years old and she cooked marvelous meals and cakes and pastries. As for me at 29 years and 11 months, could only managed to cook good sambal sotong and bake out-of-the-box chocolate cake. Sigh~

Anyway, I foresee my range of cooking skills to improve soon enough. I can't wait for the arrival of these two to my arms soon :)

Masa tengah leka nak habeskan Eat, Pray, Love tadi, this happened in the kitchen...

the overflowed dough :)

sorok menyorok..

Lately Adam suka main sorok2..

"Where's d bus? where's d bus?" (tatau kenapa tapi adam suka tanya dua kali) Adam akan tanya sambil sorok bus kat belakang pinggang dia... tu oke lagi sbb bus tu kecik je..

"Where's Dibo? Where's Dibo?" tanya Adam sambil angkat Dibo belakang kepala dia... konon-konon kitorang xleh nampak.. saiz Dibo?

tapi semalam.. tiba-tiba dengan muka excitednye Adam tanya Mommy n Daddy..
"Where's d hand? Where's d hand?" sambil angkat both hands ke atas n sebelah telinga dia.. (sangat terang dan jelas kelihatan hands Adam though dia konon2 sorok belakang telinga) errrr... Mommy n Daddy bantai gelak.. Adam blur.. :)

Oh my dear Adam.. macam mana mommy x rindu Adam masa kat ofis... :)

Project Adam 365 : 2010

Finally! After much work and effort from everybody in my family, Project Adam 365 is finally completed. I wanna thank everybody including those who commented and like the photos in my FB because all of you has given me the strength and courage to complete it. When people asked if I want to continue in 2011, without any doubt I said no. It was not easy. Especially when I send Adam back to my hometown. I have to trouble everybody to ensure they take a photo of Adam and send it to me. Having said that, I would want to take the challenge for my next child(ren) because at the end of the day, the compilation of photos showed how your child has grown throughout the year.

To my little Adam, I hope you would understand how much you mean to me and our family. Everybody played their part to ensure our little gift for you would be a reality. You made it easy for us with all your candid action and creative act in exploring the world. You inspired us by your positive atttitude and determination in learning new things. I wish you would stay as my little baby forever :) I love you son..

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year peeps!

So what's ur plan for 2011? Apart from a few personal goals that I want to achieve by end of 2011, I have 2 other goals that are not too personal that I can share here..

First, I hope by end of 2011 I could master 2 dishes that to some might be the easiest to cook, curry and masak lemak. All these while I have been shying away from these 2 dishes that has coconut milk as part of the ingredient. I just don't have the confident when it comes to adding the coconut milk in the dishes. Questions like when should I pour them, how much should I use, how much is too much, how much is too little, should I stir it or should I let it set on its own has been haunting me since I first learned how to cook. So, any one can help me with this? ;)

Secondly, just like last year, I wanna nurture back my reading habit. I used to spend hours and hours a day reading books but not since the arrival of my darling baby. I want him to read as much as I did when I was a kid and I think I should lead by example. Maybe I will put the list of books I read in the side bar to motivate me further. My target is to read at least 12 books by end of 2011. That is one book per month. I just finished one today so that gave me a good kickstart. Wish me luck!
