Quality time

/wink /wink


Ahh.. I long to share more of my photo,
but things got a little busy lately :P

So I love to kick off my sharing today with this few selected photo.


Any idea where this photo taken? I'm sure you do :)
It's from the top of a little hill in Kipungit
(the hill besides Kepayan ridge / tanjung aru).

I use to scale this hill to sweat away...
and many times I get more then just burning my fat.
Enjoying sunset bath from the hill is one of the best
way to revitalize my self.



Witnessing how many planes takes off and landed
can be quite interesting.. especially when you have your
mp3 player with you :)

The picture's quality is a bit of disappointment -.-".
But you have to live with that when DSLR
is still hanging in your dream.


Not just the breathtaking view, the natures around
can be an interesting subject if you are keen to observe.

Photo was taken with old T5 cybershot model.
(too bad my only cybershot is now R.I.P sob.. sob.. sob..)


So it was weekend.

One of a thing that I have set to as a must do everyday in my life
is to spend quality time with my family.
I have set it in my outlook and synchronize with my smart phone.

Everyday at certain time my hp will remind me about it.
Well, there are times I just have to press 'dismiss' it
when I really occupied. But as long as it's in my to-do-list, there are
pretty goodchance I will do it :)

How did you spend your quality times with your loves one?

Eating together at home is one thing I really really love to do!



This is my little family.
We were enjoying our Saturday breakfast together.
A very simple breakfast I prepared - fried noodle
with 2 large size hot dog and lots of sliced tomatoes,



and we eat it with plain rice :).
Consider that my kampung style!



I won't lie to you, hot steam rice mixed with fried noodle is really good.
I love the combined texture. And if you notice, we've got
a freshly made sambal tuhau - that simply made the breakfast
5 times delicious! :D

But kids.. even how good the food are,
biscuits and crackers is still winning their innocent heart -.-"

Before anything.. the tuhau was almost cleared ^.^
(err wifey, me still snapping here.. and that's our last tuhau ok please...)



Breakfast with family at home.. and having Hain Jasli karaoke
song accompanying.. that's quality time :).



It's weekend, so karaoke right after breakfast?? :p


and enjoying every bit of moment watching your kids activity,
that's quality time :)







I finished my dish last..
(darling, do we still have beer in the freeze?.... please :P).
Too bad no more beer -.-"



Later I play with some dirts and in my little garden (this is my new passion :)).
Together with my 3 yrs old Danisa, we have successfully plant
few bitter gourd (which will be harvested very soon now :)),
some hot chillies, ginger, tomatoes, lemon grass, lime, papaya
and 'Kundur'? @ tonsomon wangi.




Gardening realy hooked me :)
it almost as good as watching my baby grows everyday,
except when the time comes I will harvest and cook
my veggies :P

I haven't share about my new pet rite?
I'm sharing my family's love with lots of worms, yeah worrmmss.
They help me to deal with my kitchen's left over.. and they are very effective ^.^

Best towww piara cacingggg :)

Will be sharing more about my 'garden project' in near future.

Wish you had a great weekend too and.......

Happy Monday!!!! peoples :D

  15. topinai, i tried the salted mackerel with shitake mushroom but man, my apartment smells like "ikan masin" from 3 days in row. had to burn scented candles non stopped since i can't open my windows to air out the place. it's winter, too cold plus we are in the middle of coldest temp of the season and in last 5 years. but man, topinai, it worth all the effort and all the smell in the apartment. it was so delicious especially with warm white rice and a dash of lime. thanks for the recipe. i will try the tuhau next time.
