I can save my budget and buy few more cases..maybe less than 4 cases...Hopefully enough for 1 week..

Foundant cake...emm....yummy its true,my kids like it.

Last night after sungkai I tried to bake fondant cake...waahhh this is because of you <rosma  >You make me sick for the past few days just to think this very simple recepi..hehehehe.....  Since I got all the ingredients at my kitchen so mission must be done at once...hahahaha...Chocolate is my 1st daughter, son and hubby's favourite..But I don't let them eat all the time.

Mission was completed and the result of the cake was not as 5 stars bakery shop but i'm happy the chocolate lava burst out of the cake was look ok..Alhamdullilah its true dear friend rosma my children like it..

So here the recepi that I have modified...

Sungkai without husband..miss him

My hubby was attending a 'Sungkai' function with his jobmates this evening.  So I was alone with my kids breaking the fast. Yahoo..time for me to rest... No need to prepare too much. Menu for today just one..'kueh teaw basah'...its a simple recipe.  But still I prefer him to gather sungkai with him.  I miss him alot.

# Fried onion, fish cake, taufu, crab stick.

# add water, one tablespoon tomyam or chicken cube (either one) till boil.

#when boil add vege,  and corn flour to thicken the liquid.

# pour black paper powder.

# pour the 'kuah' to the noodles

* I didnt add egg in the mixture (before adding corn flour) since my children got chickenpox.

Try this  u will love it.....

Creating Ikebana

I was really tired for the past few days..uhhh..routine housekeeping + schools' work + nursing after my kids + gardening. Alhamdullilah, my fasting mood was still constant.  This afternoon I felt my mood was ok.  Raya season is coming soon..."Why don't I create Ikebana just for a trial for Raya preparation".....No need to buy pots of flowers for Raya and save my money.  Since I have variety of shrubs and herbs in my garden, I tried to create 2 Ikebana and the outcomes....opppsss

What do you think of this Ikebana?

and this?...

This one is simple but it make me feel relax..when I look at it.

Another chickenpox!!!!!!...090909

090909 is the day which I can called 'trademark sign' for  my son naqib.  I was surprised this morning he was infected with chickenpox.  I knew it sooner or later the viral infection will transferred to Naqib since he is her closed contact who are not infected by this illness yet. I brought Naqib to clinic and the same prescriptions were given just like Izzat's.

Look at his face.. he is really sad.  I know he is incomfortable with this calamine lotion on his face and body.

More red spots at the back of his body.

"Mum when will this last?" soon honey

Who will be the next?  I'm still in doubt since my mum mentioned she can't remember whether I had this chickenpox during my childhood....NO..NO..NO ..not me ..Nauzubillahmin zaliq...

Oh my dear...honey..

It looks worst than yesterday...Izzat's body is covered with blisters of chickenpox.  At first, her sister, Iffah, was infected by this illness. But it was not really bad compared with Izzat's condition. She got these red spots since Sunday but not really much and now the red spots are spread all on over her body.  The white thing on her body is Calamine lotion which make the red spots dry quickly. She needs to take chlorpheniramine-2 ( prevent from itchy) and Panadol syrup 3 times a day to reduce her pain and itchy. 

She is given MC for 5 days...if  her condition still not good..her MC will be extend .  We pray and hope Izzat will recover quickly so she can do her revision and tution again for PSR examination. (Oct 5th) 

Oh my dear.......

Medicines for Izzat..Panadol syrup, chlorpheniramine-2 & Calamine lotion

Yassin and Tahlil for Our AlMarhum Father

Friday  yesterday, my mum and my siblings went to Tanah Perkuburan Limbungan in the city to ziarah our AlMarhum father ( Passed away 30.11.2007). Dear father.. We know you are watching us during the Ramadan... Do hear us....we still miss you....We love you always.. Mum  still loves you....we won't stop praying for you, day and night....Allah loves you so much and we will keep on praying for your peaceful soul and placement in heaven. Alfatiah.......

My Family 

My tastebuds' demand

Menu for sungkai today are very simple.  Vege fried rice, Tom yam Soup, Fried kulit ayam and Air Kausar.  Air Kausar is my children's favourite drink.  I made this drink after I got the recipe from my auntie.  I  can't stand my children kept on begging at me just to buy this drink everyday starting from first Ramadan. Just imagine....one bottle costs $2, if 2 bottles a day times ????days..wooow thats alot of money.   

Preparation for Kausar drink:

Boil a kettle of water

Add a tablespoon of vanilla essence

Add a tablespoon of Banana essence

1 can of condenced milk

1 can of creamer milk 

3 tablespoon Tukamaria seeds ( jintan selasih) - Add when mixture is cold.

 Add sugar if necessary

For this preparation you can get 5 bottles of Kausar drinks.

 

Air Kausar

vanila essence, banana essence and Tukamaria seeds

Vege Fried Rice 

I don't know why my taste buds are seemed to choose Fried kulit ayam today. Yeah..don't blame the Ramadan Liz.  Actually I don't really want to serve this fried kulit ayam to my children. I'm afraid they will addicted to it. But never mind ..today can be an excuse for them to eat it. At first I should get rid off the thick fat which is sticked on it before I fried it.  Add tumeric powder , chilli powder and salt. Stir and fried until crispy.. At last my taste buds' demand have achieved.
