Missing Rayyan...

It’s the 11h day without Rayyan at home! *teary eyes* The house is so damn quiet!! The first two days were really weird!! Gheezzz…

On the 31/10, hubby and I sent mom and Rayyan to LCCT. Yup!! Both mom and Rayyan flew back to KK… for 3 weeks!! *sigh*

Taken at LCCT. Wallpaper for my hp. Eee... mcm mau cubit2 ja tu pipi c Rayyan!

Well, before mom agreed to come over to stay with me in KL, I convinced her that she can go back anytime she wants. Besides, with AirAsia, everyone can fly! LOL She deserves a break anyway even though Rayyan has to tag her along. Of coz, she doesn’t mind at all as it would be her pleasure to show off her lil’ grandson to my aunts, relatives and her friends. *wink*

This trip to KK has been planned since Rayyan was 1mth++. Yeahhh.. family planning!! *grin* Mom wanted to go back for “Sembahyang Kuburan”. Hubby always got irritated whenever I mentioned it. He says there is no such thing call sembahyang kuburan. Anyway, I’m not sure how to explain this. It’s an annual event which will be take place in early Nov (3rd or 4th day of Nov) at Menumbok and Kuala Penyu. This is when ppl will pay a visit to their passed away family members. Something likes that lah. *smile*

Besides, there will also be a wedding ceremony in Labuan next week. It’s my cousin’s wedding. So, mom has strong reason to go back. *grin*

Poor mom... she has to clean up our house at Beaufort all by herself which she only can do it when the lil’ boy went to bed! Glad that the water issues has been resolved. Thanks to my aunt for her assistance in getting a plumber to install the water pump. *relief*

Till then… I’ll update more stories about Labuan, Beaufort and KK later coz I’m flying back to Labuan / KK next Thurs!!! Hoorayyy.. Can’t wait to hug my son!!

Missing you half deadly, son… Be a good boy there k…

Strawberry Pudding

I told myself that I MUST update my blog at least once a week even though I have got myself involved in the FB gaming world! Sh*t!! I know I know... The blame should go to me and myself and not FB!!! *sigh*

CUT!! Let’s just be straight to the point.

This entry should be tailing from the Rayyan’s Birthday post.

Anyway, since my invitation didn’t go to the entire colleague which only some of them were invited. Why? Err… Ntah la. Senang cerita, only those close were invited la. But still most of them could remember the birthday month of Rayyan. So nice of them kan?? So, I did a Strawberry Pudding especially for them. *wink*

Before I rant further, I wanna thanks to Nora for the idea! I curi her idea ok! LOL I found it simple and nice, so I decided to do the Strawberry Pudding.

At first, I thought of using her recipes. Somehow, the packet of pudding powder also has the method of preparing at the back of the packet. The major different between these two method is, Nora is using sweetened creamer while the packet is using evaporated milk, which I prefer evaporated milk.

The original method of preparing as per the packet (serving without strawberry):

1. Boil 3000ml of water, 100gm sugar (included in the packet) and 1can of 400ml evaporated milk.
2. Turn off the flame. Pour in pudding powder and stir for 5 minutes.
3. Add fruit sugar and mix well.
4. Pour into moulds. Set in refrigerator.

My version… or is it Nora’s??? *wink*

Ingredients:

1. 1 packet of pudding powder (serbuk dadih – then only I know ‘dadih’ is pudding! Kesian sungguh!) – Check out the flavor coz I didn’t and I bought Yam!
2. Fresh strawberry
3. 1 can evaporated milk
4. 2500ml water

Method:

1. Slice strawberries into two, clean and put aside.
2. Boil 2500ml of water, 100gm sugar and 1can of 400ml evaporated milk.
3. Turn off the flame. Pour in pudding powder and stir for 5 minutes.
4. Pour into small plastic containers. Half full will do. (enough for 50 pax)

5. Set in refrigerator for 30 minutes and take out.
6. Put in the sliced strawberries slowly on top middle of the pudding on each container and restore to refrigerator. (I have to do this coz if I put in the strawberries first, tenggelam pulak strawberry tu. Huhuhuhu.. )

Ready to be served

The next day, I brought them to office and distribute to my dear colleague. Their comments?? Tasty! Jaga hati punya pasal kot... LOL

Since hubby has to work on that particular day, I have to take charged! Phewww…

So, here’s the list of things bro, mom and I have to do in the morning…

1. Watermelon (bought 3 pcs at Tesco) – cut into pcs
2. Choc Moist Cake (baked by colleague - Aishah - Thanks babe!) – cut into pcs
3. Curry puff and jelly (ordered from Hubby’s friend) – arrange nicely (kunun!)into container
4. Collect hall’s key
5. Last minute shopping di kedai yang berdekatan
6. Clean up hall and put balloon 5-6 biji… hehehe

The above list is the actual sequence of what we did that morning. *wink*

3.00pm… Party time!!!

Oh no... Where are the foods and the cake??? They were late due to jammed and lost!! Ghezz.. Poor them! Lucky that our quest is not there yet; only family members were waiting for the food to arrive impatiently. Lapar baa…

The caterer – Majurasa Catering (I found them in Mudah.com) arrived 15 minutes later. Once they finished setting up the foods, all of us pun makannnnnnnnnn… We have Nasi Tomato, Fried Bihun, Ayam Masak Merah, Acar Timun and 2 hot drinks – Tea and Tea O. As an additional, we added grape.

The foods

Just when I had my fried bihun after the Nasi Tomato (heheeh), Hubby’s colleague arrived. I don’t feel nice to eat when guest is around, so.. yeahh… stop eating and entertaining guests and all the incoming calls – asking for direction. Goshhh... I did attach a map, but too bad I’m not good in mapping!! Sorry guys…

The cake only arrived at around 3.45pm. Jammed in MRR2! Thanks to e-caR. Met her via blogging. See… the bloggers are connected… :D

The yellow-blue-ish Upin Ipin themed cake.

Tiada org berani makan bhgn muka... :D

Half of the invitees didn’t turn up. *sigh*

Do you notice that Rayyan's is wearing the same color as the cake? I think I did on purpose. Heheh..

All and all, we enjoyed ourself and so did Rayyan. Thanks to Rayyan for being a good boy that afternoon. *grin*

Special thanks to all our dear friends for your presence, presents and tokens. Without you all, it won’t be a blast party for Rayyan and us.

3 More Days…

I still feel like it was yesterday when hubby drove me off to the hospital and I was ‘pushing’ 3, 4 times before I can see and feel Rayyan on my chest! And he will be 1 year old on this coming Sat, Oct 24th. Time flies without us knowing it... *wink*

And because it’s Rayyan very first birthday, we are in the midst of planning / preparing a mini birthday party for him where we’ll be calling relatives n close friends to celebrate it together. *smile*

Here’s my important check list:

** Date & time - Fixed
** Hall - Apartment’s community hall confirmed (rmh nda muat ba!)
** Card & map - Done
** Invitees – Done
** Birthday Cake - order confirmed
** Foods - In progress… Still looking for a caterer that could fit with our budget. Hope can confirm it by tomorrow. *sigh*
** Others – shopping by Friday

Err… It’s my first time doing all these except time mau kawin dulu… LOL… The above list is for mintapuji ja ba tu.. It’s really a mini party though. *grin*

While doing my list of invitees, was thinking of you all, my friends in KK… I wish I could invite you all to rock the party. Next time yaa.. *wink*
