Cuppacake Crash Course!

I thought of letting Dd to choose his own cake design at the bakery for his birthday meaning apa yang ada kat kedai. But he insisted me of making an animal theme cakes and to order pulak too short notice. 1 day before the actual day hahaha.

So...thanks to my friend aunty za_az for helping me out to bake these delightful chocolate cuppies and I would like to apologize for my lack of baking tools hehehe.

Everybody had fun helping out to decorate the cuppies termasuk the little sister. Birthday boy jee tak buat sebab bersekolah LOL.

Nyonya Tophats

I received these pai tee mould or nyonya tophats from my Aunt Patricia when she moved house.


It took me 2 years to finally have the guts to try making these paitee.


Pai tee is one of our favourite hors de ourvs but making it so difficult especially for a person like me yang tahu makan jee HEHEH.


I've tried 3 times and failed. During the process batch by batch batter dah terbuang sebab tak jadi . The PaiTee become terlampau keras, it doesn't want to come off from the mold, oil too hot. etc..
But today...I tried making these again for the 4th time and yeayyy! I've succeeded. Syukur alhamdullilah. It was so tedious that I've to make it one by one and my other hand need to hold a chopstick and give it a little shake so that the batter won't stick to the mould. The process took me 3 solid hours of standing by the pot. But the results make smile kembang cam tophat tu jugak hahaha.

Quotes of the day

the girl cartoon was inspired from one of the blogskin that I found on the internet belongs to one Indonesian Girl. The original girl cartoon was so much cuter and created with clean outlines. Mine was a bit messy.

I used most of the basic shapes that can be found in photoshop and then I added some elements from digital scrapbooking. It is so much fun creating this cartoon character.

Smart Kidz Carnival at PWTC

SmartKids Carnival

Bawak the kiddos to PWTC to see the SmartKids 2009 exhibition and managed to get Dd to participate in the Drawing Competiton.

Yang kelakarnya macamana laa Mama tak terperasan that it was a CAP Drawing Competition not a Colouring Competition. So every participants were given a white cap as a canvas. Tajuk dia "My Dream Career or World of Ambitions" so Dd lukis ler Dinosaurs his favourite subject so we were telling him his dream career is called 'paleontologists'. So we guess that is his ambition for now..laa tapie Dd sendiri pun berbelit lidah nak sebut LOL. Tengok other participants..fuhhh bawak memacam colouring kit and yang kreatip2 and well prepared siap bawak unique kinds of embellishments to decorate the cap and ada yang larat siap bawak sekali portable wooden table. Dd cuma bawak crayon sahaja hahaha. Nasib baik ler bawak crayon kalau Mama terbawak pencil colour sure Dd bengang hehehe. Tapie Dd cool ajer yang beriya-iya kasi support si Lily. Siap dok sebelah tolong betul-betulkan kan newspaper buat lapik asyik dok cakap " okay Ddd? meh..meh..Dd! haikk? cam organizer lerr si Lily nih hehe. Tak menang pun tapie he had fun. Yang tak menang dapat goodie bag worth of RM15.00 each.

Rainbow Cake on Rainy Days!

THE past few days it has been raining cats and dogs. So..we decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies and rainbow butter cake. Simple but delicious to spruce up the rainy days and to keep us busy. Sorang nak main luar, sorang nak naik basikal beli cendol last-last everybody give in and help out to bake and here is the recipe (quick n easy) to compliment your evening tea-time.


250gm buttercup
100gm brown sugar
200 gm eggs
1/2 tsp vanilla essence
200gm self raising flour
food colouring (up to you!) mine is green, red & yellow


Method:
1. Beat butter & brown sugar till even and fluffy
2. add in egg one by one and beat the mixture again.
3. sieve flour inside the mixture then add in vanilla essence and the colouring.
4. Mix it well and ready to bake for 1 hour and oven temperature is: 170 degree celsius.

Saturday Brunch

The kiddos loves nasi lemak so we dropped by at the newly decorated outlet of Nasi Lemak Antarabangsa Kg Baru at Ampang Park for our Saturday's brunch.

The restaurant is simple with green and retro decor theme of an old kopitiam style. Papa, Mama & Abang Adly had a whole plate of nasi lemak for himself but Dd and Lily kena share with each other sebab perut kecik hehehe.
Takde laa sesedap kat Warung in Kg Baru probably because there is no wet kitchen to be seen only beverage & serving counter.  So I guess all the foodie are heated up and served.

Bowling Day

Bowling day with Tokwan, Opah and Cousins. It was the boys' first time trying their hands at the game. Surprisingly Dd enjoyed it very much and he even completed the game for his brother yang dah lost interest halfway of the game sebab tak boleh nak strike! Aparaa abang nih.

Tokwan belanja all the kids kat bowling alley termasuk lunch kat foodcourt. We played at Flamingo Ampang Superbowl. It is quite cheap only RM4.00 per person. Rental of shoes only RM1.50. Not many teenagers mostly older couples. We like this place as the smaller kids are not distracted by some silly teenager's act at the bowling alley.

Peace & Quiet

peace & quiet memang jarang berlaku in this house hehehe. Everytime mesti bising. Lily with her high pitch singing and screaming gaduh dengan Didi.
Dd dengan muka toyer carik pasal marah the little sister sebab suka usik barang dia and Adly being the peacemaker of the two usually ended up fighting with Lily and Dd sebab pening.

In the end...mama datang jadi tarzan and grounded all three (hahaha). Best betul jadik boss kat rumah ni.
