Missing but full of actions...

-
Been away and was actually experiencing a dry season of ideas. I am truly loss for words once I start to touch the keyboard. Yeah, I was away missing but full of actions. I was busy too here and there and acted as a tour guide to a friend who came to spend her weekend in Kuching last week. Glad that she managed to destress herself during the short visit. Well, sometimes you just have to get the stress bug out one way or another.

By the way, the following pictures is not at all related to the above.  I just found out that I have loads of outstanding pictures in my handphone, so am gonna share some of it here. 


These square cakes were simply delish, a colleague bought these at the Student Pavillion (a new food court in campus)  Frankly am not a fan of this kind of cake but I was wrong and I took a second helping of this. 




I tried this chocolate cake recipe a week ago, overall it's nice but the next time am gonna bake this I will substitute the oil with butter instead.  This recipe is definitely a keeper as mum has commended this cake, and since that she is very2 cerewet on my attempts of baking and trying out new recipes from the internet, that is good enough for me.  However mum has asked me to cut down on the baking soda though..hehehe.  I came across this beautiful recipe from Kak Paty's kithcen



Aha!! one of my favourites,  Mee Jawa Special.  I have been patronising this Malay stall at Chong Choon Cafe since my banking days at Jalan Abell.  I don't know how some are eating this, but I will take this with dashes of soy sauce and loads of cilipadi...andddddddd I always attack the gravy first (gosh!!! I'm salivating as I type this...)



My breakfast  the last few weeks, Mee Goreng Kapuas Mi with chilli padi and some Basil leaves. And so when the lazy bug strikes,  this is what I have instead of the ocassional fried rice or any heavy breakfast that I would prepare for the whole family on weekends. Pathetic?!!! No?...

There goes my entry for today.  Very lazy kind of entry...hmmmmm

Bahasa Melano Balingian

-
My trip to Miri not only gave me the opportunity to reunite with old friends that I missed dearly but I also took the golden opportunity to learn more about my dad's language. My dad is a Melanau from Kpg Suyong, Balingian. Their melanau dialect differs from the rest of the Melanau dialects from Mukah, Oya, Rejang, Dalat, Matu, Igan & Bintulu. Sad to say that this particular dialect is slowly disappearing. Even my aunt Regina or fondly known as Usu Ina who is married to a melanau from Bintulu is at loss with her own Balingian dialect at times. So far, I've noticed that only my dad, my first cousins Lai & Kak Senah are still speaking this beautiful dialect fluently. Usu Ina converse mostly in the Mukah dialect and I observed that she would refer to Lai if she was not sure of the language itself. My dad and his siblings back in Balingian still converse in their own dialect but once they are out of their kampung, they would converse in the Mukah dialect again. Mmmmmmmmmmm.

oooo En Haris......Izzah............Ombak Rindu

Finally, I get to watch Ombak Rindu (OR) with friends last night. So here goes my review on the movie. 1) The scenery is simply fantastic and I just can’t help admiring the beautiful sceneries. It was indeed a sight to behold. So a beach-lover like me definitely enjoys and love all the beautiful sceneries. 2) Loved Hariz’s kampong house…byk modern facilities tapi nang kacaklah rumah ya.. 3) Dari mula sampei abis filem ya, the kitten doesn’t seem to grow up....go figure that out!!!…. 4) As expected some of my favourite scene in the novel was scrapped off especially bab Hariz n Izzah, there are quite a few intimate scenes (those who’ve read the novel knows, yang belum baca, sila beli dan baca k);I guess writer/director chose not to put those in the movies for sensitivity reasons and I think AA would want to think twice before acting certain scenes especially some intimate scenes with MK. 5) The OST was simply superb and the duet song by Hafiz AF7 and Adira AF8 complemented

Thoughts and rambles

It's been a while since my last posting.   Year in year out, I think I have such a boring life.  Initially, when I started this blog, I wanted to be a food blogger and sharing my passion for cooking and baking.  Before the existence of FB, blogging was the thing then.  I thought of trying to be one and yes, the first few years of blogging I was actively blogging, practically about everything. And then some turn in my life affected me so much that I began to drift away for a while.  Pic credit to Google.
