Martin Luther King Day

The three day weekend is almost over. Sedeynyee..
The weekend didn't start all well, on Saturday noon I had a fight with Zuhri. We were in a store, I was about to get a safety glass. Unfortunately I didn't have my voucher with me, so I couldn't get any safety glasses. Zuhri was so mad, mcm nak makan org. Kept blaming me for not listening to the instructions etc. The store is like 10 mins away from our apartment, what's the big deal. I can always go there over the week. Time tu punya la tension, sampai aku nangis kat store tu...nangis kuat2. That day, we ended up tak buat pape. Malam tu pulak, since I merajuk the whole day, zuhri ajak pegi tgk 'I am Legend'. It was a so-so movie. It's about manusia yg dah infected with virus and acted like monster. Ala mcm cite dawn of the dead and resident evil. But I had fun. So malam tu dah baik dgn abe. Heheh..
Saturday tak buat ape...masak whole day. Made karipap & ayam percik (all thanks to Gem). Tapi aku buat tak letak tomato sauce.
Sunday, buat grocery je.

I was fasting all three days. Yeay 4 more days to go! But I have some puasa nazar too..hadoiiii...
Oh I fogot to post some pics when we were in Vegas. Will do that soon. You can view them at Zuhri's friendster too.

I sold my $250 Nikon lens for $200. Yeay now I can get my $600 lens yg diidamkan selama ini. Huarghh...am I really going to get a $600+ lens? Oh well.. I think it's for the best.

Monday again

I'm going to make a BM entry today. Hehe..dah puas tulis english berterabur. Hari ni Monday, keje mcm biasa...busy la jugak..sedar2 je dah pukul 3 PM. We have some six sigma people from Cessna today. Hadus..nasib baik I dont have to entertain them.
Did I tell you that my big boss got laid off last week. There were two people that Cessna has to let go, our VP of Mfg and HR Director. The VP has done a lot for our company, the HR director was so nice..I don't have a clue why both of them were let go. Oh well, I guess Cessna has a valid reason for that. And today, my direct boss got promoted (kind of?) I don't know if it's really a promotion or just expanding his job responsibility. Good for him.
Anyway back to my winter vacation. Disneyland...yeahh...it was sweeettttt...I love disneyland. We were in LA for 3 days, we went to both parks. The disneyland park is pretty similar to Magic Kingdom in Florida. It has all the cutie little characters..most of the rides are for kids. The other park is California Adventure. The park is small, probabily 1/3 of disneyland. Most of the rides are for teen or adults. I went on a real outdoor roller coaster for the first time. It wasn't that scary at all..I was suprised that I actually enjoyed the ride. Anyway..let's take a look at some pictures.

1. A common Disney-entrance- look

2. The castle. A lot smaller and uglier than Disneyworld thou

3. With..I don't know what this is.. character from Lion King4. Mickey Toon Town..even the sky looks like catoon. But it's real

5. Disney at night, loving it. That's the roller coaster that I was talking about.

6. Tower of Terror ride. The girls at the front mcm retarded. Menyampah.

7. This is the roller coaster California Screaming. Takut woo..but it was awesome!

The pictures of the rides are from the Disney camera..alaa...gamba yg kita boleh beli tu for $20 or so. Kitaorg tak beli pun...but we took picture of the pictures...hahaha ni la cara melayu yg kedekut. Hehhehehe

Winter Trip 2007

Ok now that I have the time to write something on our winter trip, I'll try to make it quick and painless. Hehe..
The first whole day was driving to San Francisco. Took us about 10 hours to get there. In SF, we went to Alcatraz, an old abandoned prison. It's a prison on an island, people used to believe that it's impossible to escape from the prison since you have to swim like 1.5 miles to get to the main land. Throughout the years, 6 people escaped. Two of them were found dead, 1 was sent back to the prison, other three were missing and never found. They shut it down (can't remember when) because of the high maintenance costs. For the movie fan, there's even a movie on Alcatraz; 'Escape from Alcatraz'. I love the tour.

1. The cell house

2. Bilik penjara. Hehe geli kan tengok. I was making my disgusted face.

3. On the 3rd day, before leaving SF, we went on cable car ride. It's one of the must-do-things in SF. Sejuknyee..

4. In front of rumah2 cun. You can see these in 'Full House' series. Ala yg ade Olsen twins tu.

I'll write more on Disneyland and Vegas soon.. Stay tune

Which Gucci?

I love these two bags. Both have the same price $475 Ouch! I couldn't decide which one to go with. Can someone please help me to pick one. Please..please..
1. I think I should get this one since the design is different from my other handbags. But I'm afraid I will look old.

2. I have a Coach bag that have pretty much the same design like this one. I think I should pick something different. But I kinda like this one better

Resepi Ayam Percik (My Own Version)

I just cooked ayam percik for dinner. Sangat2 la sedap hehehe. Here's the resepi (atas permintaan Janet)

Ingredients (for 1 whole chicken cut into 10-12 pieces):

1 whole onion (if the onion is small, use 1 1/2 onion)
3-4 cloves garlic
1/3 cup of coconut milk
1 inch ginger
2 lemon grass
1/2 inch galanghal (if you don't have this, just add some more lemon grass/ ginger)
1 tsp corriander
1/2 tsp cumin
some sambal olek (ikut citarasa)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
some salt and brown sugar (ikut citarasa)
some rice flour

Methods:

1. Just blend everything except the rice flour. (Of course you need to cut the onion, garlic, lemon grass etc into small pieces first).

2. If you are not sure how much brown sugar/ salt/ sambal olek to put, make sure to taste it a little bit before you marinate the sauce with the chicken. It should taste sweet (and pedas, kalau nak pedas), masin sikit2 je.

3. Nak marinate overnight pun boleh, nak marinate for a few hours/ an hour pun boleh. Takde hal, but of course lagi lama marinate lagi sedap.

4. Then pour everything into the pot, wait until almost cook. (You can check the drumstick, if you see the blood coming out of its bone, that means you need another 10 mins. Anyway, just make sure it's not over cook)

5. Coat the baking pan with a layer of oil (vegetable oil/ olive oil), then put the chicken into a single pile. Make sure that you shake the extra sauce off the chicken before putting it on the baking pan.

6. Then broil the chicken in the oven until it turns brownish on both sides (kena terbalik2kan la)

7. Now for the extra sauce, just cook it on the stove some more. To make the sauce thick, add some rice flour (yg dah dilarutkan dlm air) bit by bit. Then stir the sauce. You can also add salt/ brown sugar/ sambal olek (ikut citarasa).

8. Then pour the sauce onto the ready to serve chicken.

Last tips: I usually serve this chicken with nasi oren. Baru sedap sikit mkn :)
Nasi oren tu, color dia oren because I put some paprika powder. Also add some margerin stick (biar jd ala2 nasi minyak), some chopped onions, cinnamon stick, bunga cengkih and bunga lawang, and some salt.

Winter Vacation 2007

Haiyos..just got back from my winter trip. It was pretty much like my previous trip in 2004. We went to the same places, San Francisco, LA and Vegas again. But this time, we focused on attractions yg tak pernah pegi lagi.
Zuhri and myself celebrated our 1st anniversary on the road. We didn't do much, just exchange gifts. He bought me 2 sets of sexy lingeries, hehe.. and I bought him an electrical shaver. But at LA outlet, zuhri wanted a leather jacket instead. So there goes my $200.
The LA outlet was superb with lots of high class shops, dior, armani X, gucci, D&G, etc..but semua2 mahal2 nak mati. One handbag costs at least $500- $2000. Huarggghhh...mana ade duit. I like this gucci bag but when I looked at the price tag $498. Waduh2....but I want it so bad. Tapi tak beli pun.
At Vegas I bought a red leather jacket from Wilson Leather. It's nice..I like the color, not so much on the design.
I really want to be on a trip where I can shop all day, all week provided that I have the money of course. Bila la nak jadi kaya and beli bag harga $1000 ni...waarrghhhh sedey!
I'll post the pics later.
