我很寂寞？

今天郁闷摸上门了。
这半年来，来来去去突然郁闷了好几次。
大半都是看了人家在Facebook 的照片后郁闷的。
我不能不承认自己实在太想念大马了。

我如今的生活过得很好。
有房子有车子。
有老公有工作。
有衣穿有饭吃。
这种安安稳稳的生活不好吗？
对。就是稳到有点闷咯。

某天，跟Alex 拍拖经过几家衣服店，
才瞄窗外摆的几件衣服就没有购物欲了。

某天，在食谱里看了几种好吃的蛋糕想做，
然后想到要减肥突然又打消了念头。

某天，想到要打电话给朋友聊天，
突然想起原来她已经飞回大马过年了，
要过三四个星期才能再聊。

所以每次Alex 提议回他妈妈家里吃晚餐，
我心里就有一种莫名其妙的快感。
这是寂寞的象征么？

情人节礼物分享

恭祝大家新年快乐！心想事成！万事如意！

同时也要祝贺有情人的今年要比去年更恩爱，要白头偕老哦！

呵呵。。。 今天其实我很开心啦！
因为早几天终于赶好了我要送给Alex 的情人节礼物。
除了一本关于我们的记相本，还有一套我自己做的睡裤。
这套睡裤的线条颜色是不是很可爱呢？
迟些再给自己做同样一套，这样就一人有一个咯！

我是第一次自己动刀做裤的。
为了这项project，我也很特地的去买一台针车。
我想这次的情人节想自己动动手，感动一下老公这样子。
呵呵~~~



有兴趣的话，下一篇我在和大家分享做裤子的过程吧！

Alex 比我浪漫多了。
星期五那天，从一个小男孩的手中收到一大束玫瑰。
中午时分又惊喜地收到从法国寄来的巧克力。
手工很精致，巧克力盒子和熊熊都很漂亮。
每种口味都不一样，也刻了号码作记号。
分享一下好吗？

肖像

Dad sent this portrait of trio to me yesterday. It is very nice of dad to send this over because I have long waited for this opportunity to show one of my biggest accomplishment to Alex, my fiance. I did this 13 years ago when I was about 12. I know Alex is very passionate about art, so I thought it would be very nice for us to appreciate the art work together (although the actual copy remains at my parents' place). My dad is a very caring and proud father, he has always been and will still be in the future. He loves me a lot or otherwise he wouldn't have gone through a big hassle of emailing such a wonderful picture to me (it takes some time for him to work out the computer job you know? He is getting better at it of course!). Thank you very much papa... I love you as much too!



I hope my readers don't mind me typing in english as I hope Alex, my brothers and sister-in-law can read this as well (without any need of translation)... hehe...

Something Different

We have been trying out several new dishes combining a few different ingredients easily found in a supermarket. Our theory based simply on:

QUALITY INGREDIENTS + GOOD COOKING SKILLS + PATIENCE + TIME + EFFORT = GOOD DINNER...

Most importantly, they are really original! Hehe...

All dishes turned out to be as good honestly, if not better than those in the restaurant! You know why? That's because Alex cooked them with love, that's the secret ingredient!

Pizza doesn't seem hard to make. So we made two different flavours.



Then we had squids stewed in sambal sauce with labenese eggplants. I always enjoy sauces on rice, so this dish is really appetising!



Next we have pasta cooked in greek fetta sauce. If you like cheeses, you will definitely enjoy this as well!



One or two days we had these authentic malaysian meals which gave a new twist of flavour to our taste buds. A touch of spiciness in a meal is always good I think, something different. Alex likes it too!



Sometimes adding greens to our main meals is not a bad idea too!



Seafood is great too!



Chicken pasta in Alex's home made cream sauce is full of awesomeness! I like pasta in cream sauce, unlike those pre-made sauces you found on the shelf, it has to be original!



Some flavoursome grilled chicken wraps!



Then we had this new invention, stir-fried parsnips with spring onions in chinese sauce. We had this with creamy celery soup, which is not a bad combination at all!



Trying out something new is always fun! Of course the combination of ingredients must be sensible too! Alex always make good food, so I am not worried about the taste at all...

Do enjoy cooking everyone!

最近的家菜

快乐的时光过得真快，转眼又是新年了！
还是老套的一句，祝大家恭喜发财！心想事成！
印象中我记得最喜欢农历新年是因为能跟爸爸妈妈和弟弟一起看电视节目，
还是边看电视边吃零食那种，有花生饼、黄梨酥、kuih kapit 之类的杂食。
好怀念哦！！！
我本身不是一个喜欢太热闹的人，
就是农历新年放炮仗那些都没什么感兴趣，
唯一最享受的还是年三十晚的团圆饭，
大鱼大肉的，一家人一起吃饭很温馨。

那些情景都活在我的记忆里了，
大概已有四五年没庆祝农历新年了，
中间有回去大马看看，可是都碰不上新年，多难过啊！
早几年的新年是跟表哥表弟阿姨uncle 一起庆祝的，
可是都是很鬼佬派，没什么新年气氛。
去年是我第一次跟Alex 在日本餐厅度过新年，
是很浪漫，可惜也没有新年气氛，
我想啊~ 只要我人在澳洲，要过传统的新年是不可能的啦！
还是回到现实咯！呵呵~~~
怎样都好，至少身边多了一个Alex，还是不错嘛！

好！最近我过得很幸福很甜蜜。
还煮了很多东西吃。
这些都是一些比较不难做的菜。
都是小小样，都不错味道的菜。

豆腐蒸蛋



面包披萨



煎牛扒



蘑菇烤鱼



食谱都是临时想出来的。
多添点创意就不会闷咯！
