No matter what date it is, mothers are great superwomen
to be remembered everyday....
Whether it is in March or May, mothers are MOTHERS everyday.
and so I bought this DKNY bag for my mother.

I sent the picture through whatsapp to wish her.
"Happy Mother's Day! Thank you for being such a wonderful mother a person can have"
She replied:
"Comel beg tu. Tq very much my beloved princess. You are wonderful"
with her selfie picture at that moment
Cheers!
King crabs
I wish I could buy these crabs.
But the price seems too expensive
when I keep converting into Malaysian Ringgit
which I am not supposed to do!
E.g.: That £5.00 crab is equal to RM28.00.
Never mind. I will buy it next time.
***crying with bloody tears....
See the lobster too!

Lokching in the UK
This is my first attempt of making lokching / sate ikan (fish satay).
I referred to a few recipes on Google...
I used two tins of tuna flakes (185gm x 2).
Unfortunately, it didn't turn out well
because I accidentally poured too much water in the batter.
So, I had to use more tapioca flour.
But the tapioca flour that I bought was not enough,
so I decided to add wheat flour instead.
The batter turned into a weird mixture.....
I turned the batter into countless tiny little balls...
and fried them on pan, with some olive oil.
Then, I stuck them with bamboo sticks.
They were grilled before serving.
DONE
The sauce was weird too.
I used maize (corn) flour, instead of tapioca flour.
The sauce became a jelly or pudding kind of thing.
Above all, they were not that bad, edible....Thank GOD.
Weekly Exercise
It is called VACUUM CLEANER...
I didn't know that playing with this thing is tiring....extremely dying!!!
Oh, I hate it...but I have no choice.
The bedroom must be spick and span.
Otherwise, the carpet will be so dusty and I'll sneeze every second in there.
Well, this has become my regular exercise.
This cold winter makes me hungry all the time.
I eat snacks and junk food a lot.
I really need to burn the calories....yeah!!

Happy blogwalking, everyone!!!
Long time No post: Dreams recall
It's still winter in the UK...and spring is yet to come.
I have been busy lately....
There's so much to say and tell.
But sometimes, we rather let the pictures speak.
Although it's Wednesday here, let's have a few words too...
Normally we should have a "Wordless Wednesday" post.
Never mind. ...haha.
I want to recall my wish I jotted down in January 2014.
These are My 2014 Dreams actually.
but....Thank GOD.....
everything had come true in January and February 2015.
(1) Waffles with strawberries, chocolate syrup and vanilla ice-cream
Well, I didn't get to eat exactly like I wished last year...
but at least, this is something quite similar.
I got a croissant, strawberries, Nutella, kiwis and peaches.
Okay la...well achieved!
But, since I live here now...I don't really convert the currency.
Just go with the number...**pasrah
...thinking that it's only like seringgit (RM1.00)...haha
The strawberries here are imported from Egypt, Morocco, Spain or Syria.
To me, strawberries from Egypt are the best so far.
The size is as big as Malaysian green mango.
The colour is as red as blood.
The taste is, of course, as sweet as honey.
The texture is amazingly crunchy.
The blueberries here are delicious too...it cost me only £0.79.
**I am currently eating these right now.
(2) Walking freely on a snowy day
Well, this one is well achieved too.
I have done it quite a couple of times here...
In front of my house...and at the backyard too.
It was snowing heavily on 29/1/2015...for a few hours.
Thank GOD for giving me such a wonderful snow play.
Do you want to build a snowman?
My very first ever snowman...
Below is the second snowman...I built it a few days ago.
But this one was built using ice rain drops. **hujan batu
I don't think we call it snow at all.
The texture is different.
(3) Enjoying the smell of roses and wild flowers
Well, this dream is well achieved too.
Last month, I bought a pot of rose plant for £1.99.
There were a few bloomed roses but dried after a few days.
Now, what is left is only the plant with leaves.
The leaves keep growing and changing into new.
At least, I know this plant is still alive.
I do hope roses will bloom out of it soon, in spring!!!
Talking about wild flowers, they start to bloom today.
This morning, I saw these wild flowers everywhere on the grass.
I am excited because this means spring is approaching!!
So, that's all for today!!!
Now I shall have new dreams for 2015.
...Bye...
Ready-made Cake in Box
Everything is quick and easy.
So people say, it's just a piece of cake.
The first time I saw these cakes in boxes last month,
I was surprised.
These cakes are sold at local supermarkets.
I never thought that people sell ready-made celebration cakes like this.
The ingredients are amazing too...most of them are dried ingredients such as
dried whey, dried eggs, dried whatever...etc. Everything is dried.
This is how they keep these cakes preserved....maybe.
This one is my favourite.... Princess Castle.
Simply choose and pay at the counter...
Now you can have your own party anytime.
Many of these cakes are suitable for vegetarians. We can look for the V sign that means "suitable for vegetarians". However, muslims should also read the list of ingredients to see whether they are alcohol-free or not. Sometimes, together with V sign, you can see "alcohol-free" is written on the packaging (as you can see below).
So, it is undoubtedly halal.
....THE END....
Lobster
I wish I could buy that lobster.
But the price is too expensive
because I keep converting into Malaysian Ringgit
which I am not supposed to do!
E.g.: That £30.00 lobster is equal to RM168.00.
Never mind. I will buy it next time....
or there will be no next time at all.
or there will be no next time at all.
***sigh....
Schiphol Airport Review
Wonderful two-hour-transit at
Schiphol Airport, Amsterdam, Netherlands.
(6 january 2015, about 6 a.m. local time)
I am absolutely satisfied with the service...
The airport is very huge...but traveler-friendly.
It is as magnificent as KLIA.
As soon as I landed, I went out to search for my next departure gate.
As I walked, I could see counter machines everywhere.
There are actually machines to confirm our next gate
based on the information stated on our printed ticket.
Simply stick to our ticket.
We will be fine.
I used the machine and successfully confirmed my next gate.
**Well, while queuing to use the counter machine,
I simply observed how the man in front of me did.
Then I tried the machine myself, and it worked!
It was D5 written on the screen.
Clocks are everywhere in this airport...
It's easy for us to see the local time.
The signage is big and clear.
It's easy for us to look for our gate.
But during my time, I was not confident and felt so sleepy and dizzy.
So, I asked for a direction from a stewardess who was passing by.
She gladly replied and helped.
In front of the gate.
I had to wait for 40 minutes before they called the passengers in.
So, I had time to go to the toilet.
Like any other airports, we can't bring water into the boarding hall.
We must leave/throw the water bottles before scanning at the security.
(**Of course, only liquid bottles/containers below 100ml are allowed.)
Laptops, bateries, chargers and many other electronic devices
must be scanned separately.
Meaning, you must take them out from your hand-carry bags...
and place them into a specific box.
Sometimes, we must take off our boots to be scanned.
Lucky me, during my time, I only wore trainers (sneakers),
so I didn't have to take them off.
While waiting to depart....before boarding.
The boarding hall is so comfortable. There are toilets too.
You will be called soon by the stewardess with a big smile.
Have a safe flight!!!
