Late entry for the birthday guy.


Only gotten the chance to update as I had at last found the wayar for the camera. Ye, ye saya memang letak barang merata then forgot about it.

Jumaat lepas was my husband birthday. Sempat baked him a choc cake. 

Verdict of the cake : Macam tak berapa jadi. Hahaha. The icing is a bit bitter because I salah copy berapa amount of sugar I need to put in. And the cake itself, the second batch was fine because I modify it a bit, but the first batch lack of flour because again I must be going blind, I didn't weigh the flour properly. 

Ah well, I can always give it another try. Boleh la, the cake. Because the icing is a bit bitter, I paired the cake with vanilla ice cream and peaches, and it is kinda yummy. Sweet and bitter come together nicely. Tapi next time kena sukat betul-betul.

For the birthday dinner, I treat him at Mandarin Oriental. Mistakenly believed that there was dim sum. Bah! Dim sum ade time lunch hour je ok. Noted. Nampak gaya lain kali la pegi lagi.


I posed for the camera and then asked my husband to pose.


So we ordered some food of the menu, some veggies, chicken, prawns, fried rice. I started to take pic of the first 2 dish, then got hungry and proceed to eat until habis semua. I can't be a food blogger. Terrible.

The highlight of the dinner is the durian pancakes, or said in the menu durian bla bla crepes.. bla bla.



It was incredibly good.


Its basically durian filling with cream wrapped with crepe. But the durian and cream were very nice. It is worth it to eat here just to get this dessert. 

But of course sebab dining at a hotel is not exactly things we can do weekly. Monthly pon aku rase macam tak mampu, so I can get the next best things at Midvalley je. There is some stalls (in Midvalley and Ikano I noticed) that sells these durian pancakes, bukan setakat durian. Got mango, green tea and cempedak. RM10 for 5 of these, compared to the RM18 for 3 above. The one sold at these stalls, taste pretty good too. I want to try their cempedak pancake next. 

Altogether, the meal albeit delicious, was nothing special except for their signature dessert. I will try the dimsum later, but for Chinese dinner food like this, I rather go to Cheng Ho or Haji Sharin Low for its quite nice and cheaper selections. Sheema, Seri and Gohan! We need to go there pronto!

Bawah ni entry tak related tapi aku malas nak create post baru. I went to BookXcess earlier that day. Nothing really special, mostly books by obscure authors selling at RM2 and RM3, which I bought  2 to see if it was any good. Bought myself a Dan Brown book, because it is selling at RM10 and I can't help myself but bought Gregory Maguire book Mirror, Mirror. Something like a retelling of the fables Snow White. It is a hard cover book and very lovely which is why I can't help myself.



Just hope the characters in there is more likable than Elphaba in Wicked. I was looking for another of Maguire's book 'Confessions of An Ugly Stepsisters'  everywhere but couldn't find it.

Aini and Zaki's Wedding

Promised the girls that we will attend Aini's wedding at Melaka on last Saturday, but at the last minute I changed the plan to go to Zaki's side of the wedding instead at Air Molek yesterday since on the same day there was also another kenduri potong jambul at my brother in law's kampung at Rembau. We manage to reach there around 15 mins after 1pm just before the pengantin berarak. Nice timing indeed. So alang-alang2 tu aku join je belakang rombongan pengantin masuk while my husband duk ambik-ambik gamba. Anyway the food was yummeh (sambal sotong!!! My Fav!) and the wedding is really traditional-like with gamelan music and silat. Aini looks really prettyyy and Zaki's sooo happy and jovial-like. Selamat Pengantin Baru to Aini and Zaki. The pic above is from my husband camera taken by tah sape and I will upload most of the remaining gambar kenduri in Facebook, sooner or later. Gamba kat Rembau tu, tanya Shamani die nak upload kat mana as the pics are at his camera too

Why does my heart cried Feelings I can't fight You betrayed me But just don't deceived me And please believe me when I say I love you [From the movie Moulin Rouge] And why didnt he? He's playing hot and cold.. hot and cold with me. I can't stand it. Yet I always come back for more. I am a true blue masochist. I don't even ask him to love me. I just ask him to miss me. And he couldnt even do that.. or say it. I just want to see his face once more. To see his lovely smiles, his small laugh. Why couldn't I forget him. When he could so easily dismissed me.. he could just easily come back and messed my sense and sensibility. While my tears fall down to my keyboard, yet at the same time I was making jokes and soothing him telling him "no worries". I don't ask for much... a smile, a pat on the hand. I miss him so much. Yet I am so afraid to let it shows. Becoz then if I show it... it will hurt 10 times more.
