It's school holidays. You know what I mean? Means the kids got stucked at home 24/7 with me. Although Jayden only goes to sch for that 3 hours but then that 3 hours really makes a big difference. Plus my niece is here during the weekdays. Lagi mental. Early morning you can hear them screaming,laughing, blasting my tv, crying for toys blablabla. One word. HAVOC.
Plus I am rushing a few projects so that I can clear every damn thing on my to-do list and start a new year so lagi headache. So while I am rushing for my work, I can hear Mr.Bean, Phineas and Ferb, High Sch Musical as the background music. And kids will come running to my room, sometimes laughing, sometimes crying, sometimes pretend to sell me thing "Mami I give you six dollar and ninety nice cents"or the small one will come and give me the money he stole from my wallet and asked me to say "Teh Kiuk" (thank you).
Sometimes they will come with this look.
Just broken an egg from the fridge and quickly ran up to my room and said "Sorry mami. Mami hold hand mami.. Mami fren you (me)".
Or the kids would giggle and come in with this...
Do you know what he is wearing? No?
Now you know?
haha Its a catwoman mask that I helped a friend sew as sample. It was supposed to look like this.. Don't laugh so hard ok?
It's been a looong looong time since I have posted my masak masak here. It's always very pressuring to give some food to my neighbour cos her hub is very particular and fussy about food. So that day, I cooked extra and after everyone tried (maid + hub = guinea pigs) and said its "ok" then only I passed a plate to her. When she saw the plate, she said "Can I try one now ah?" She said "yummy" and "sasha I wanna learn this also. Good to serve when we have some guests over". Some of you might know this but what the heck, I already took some pictures. So why not post it here right? muaahaha
Rolled it too small, so you cannot really see the pattern nicely done. Better to roll it "fatter".
Very Simple dish. Preparation is longer than cooking time but if you plan it well, I think it's a sap sap suey dish, if you know what I mean.

Ingredient 3: Crab Sticks Carrot Aspagarus (didn't use this cos couldn't find it)

Coating: Egg cornFlour
How to do it: 1. Mix fish paste + minced meat+ water chestnut cubs + carrot cubes + seasoning 2. Spread fish paste mixture onto the egg curd sheets. 3. Place seaweed sheets on the fish paste spread. 4. Another layer of fish faste. 5. Put carrot strip + asparagus + crab stick on edge and roll it like sushi roll. 6. secure and steam for 5mins. 7. Remove from wok and coat it with egg and cover it with cornflour and deep fry till golden brown. 8. Makan!
I have a problem reading books with my 2 kids. One wanna read nursery rhymes and one wanna read some other stuff. So that day I was so tired, I told them "Today Mami wanna read a book" and i flipped out my recipe book.
And everyone enjoyed the reading session, pretending to eat the food in the recipe book.hehe
I drafted this since 24th and today is the 26th. SO damn busy keeping up with my company's request. But I better post it otherwise I'll drag and drag until my next birthday then only I'll post the pics up. hehe So here is where we stayed... Cherating Holiday Villa.
The view facing the sea. This is where we spent most of our time there.In the swimming pool and not the beach although the kids love the beach
He love the sand.
He love the sand and water. He told me "Mami I love YOUR sand mami..."
And the sandflies love me too. Got bitten once I sat on the beach. And that's why we spend most our time at the pool.
The first night, Big C googled and found this restaurant. Many good remarks about it. So we went to try.
The very famous stuffed crab. True la.. this restaurant is very famous cos on the same row, there are 3 restaurant selling the same thing but only this restaurant is full with people.
And the person that got so excited seeing the stuffed crab is of course my eating machine.
See? Crab Shell also he wanna hantam. But the stuffed crab is so so only. Too oily and not so fresh. :P And we drove around and around the town and headed back to hotel.
The next day, very early we drove out to hunt for breakfast. After a round of nasi lemak by the kampung roadside we went to the Turtle Sanctuary next to Club Med.
And I love the way he call TURTLE.
After that we thought we wanna check out Club Med to see how nice it is.. maybe we can go there in the future. But nope.. need to wait for certain timing, need guard to go inform the office and the office ppl will accompany you to go around the place for just 20mins. Not more than that. So eksyen? forget it. So we went to Kemaman's Zoo. It's new, so it has limited animals. Birds, Birds, Birds Peacocks and peacocks and peacocks. Some snake, some sunbear and a waterfall which u need to pay extra to go into. We got tired and stopped by the small store and met this friendly cockatoo that loves to be tickle. Yeap right at the armpit please.... Ahhhh....nice.. hahaha
After an exhausting walk in the zoo, we went to hunt for a cake and went back to our hotel and went to 8 at the Eastern Pavilion just 10 seconds walk from our hotel. Haha same mgmt but then high class abit la.
The entrace..
Boss wanna take picture with smaller boss..
It has many many houses. Rumah Sarawak, Rumah Selangor U get what I mean la. So i think only got like 13-14 small houses by itself.And we went to 8 further..
Each house got its own pool. Private small pool.
Eh flower also nicer flowers on this side.
So we cabutted and went back for a swim. Nothing much to do and not many ppl since its weekday. And before we left I managed to snap this pic.. Both kena smack from me cos both tried to run out the room while dadi took things down to the car. 2 culprits, one tall enough to open door and one more waiting to run together.Piak Piak both, fair and square.
That's all, not much pictures to share cos both me and Big handle one kid each. So no hands to even hold hands. hehe But nevertheless, its a nice trip and we had fun, just the four of us.
Celebrated my birthday in Cherating last week. Took a few days off and spent it with my hub and my kids without MAID. Just wanna have some family time alone without any strangers around, if you know what I mean. I am so busy right now cos I took a few days off-no work but then deadline is still DEADLINE, gotto hand in by the given date. *sigh* Hence posting of Cherating might not happen anytime soon until I finish my work. Nevertheless, here are some of the pics taken on my birthday. This year is special cos I have 3 guys celebrating it with me and of course I received a surprise from Big C.
Dun count the candles cos my hub simply hantam for the kids to blow!
He insisted to find a cake and so we went round and round Kemaman town and he finally found a cake for me. I was wondering how come he is so persistent in getting one. When he presented me the cake I thought it was just a cake. To my surprised, he placed my pressie on the cake.
