Mee Rebus Mudah (CMG)

Many of you who had been following my websites, especially my Fotopage will realise how much I have NOT been writing over these past two years period. My apologies for that matter. I realised it myself but nowadays, the mind is pretty occupied with other things that it left so little space for the idea to make it's way out. I can still remember when I was in Malawi. Ideas kept pouring into my brain until at times I feel like I can't catch up with it's pace. It will just pop into the head at any time, while I'm doing my morning walks, or while I'm cleaning the house, or while cooking... it was just so easy. And when I start writing, I don't feel like stopping, doesn't matter if the tenses are wrong or right....langgar je!!! The most important thing to me is my own satisfaction.

I never regreted starting the Fotopage and the blog. Infact, I am so thankful to Kak Liza for persuading me to start blogging. Now that I am back in Malaysia, I can still recall all the sweet memories of Malawi and everywhere that I have been, by reading my own blog. Psstt... here comes the poyo statement... I actually like reading my own writing! Muahahaha.... Shhhh....

Last Saturday, Mak Chu came to spend the day with us. Hubby was out golfing early in the morning. Actually Mak Chu had planned to take us to the movie and we offered mak, if she wants to tag along. Her answer was,"Baiklah aku tidur kat rumah, lagi sedap!" (Translation : I prefer to sleep at home!). So we had to choose ICE AGE 3: DAWN OF THE DINOSAUR over TRANSFORMERS as Ice Age 3 is only about 1 1/2 hour show. We dare not leave mak alone for a long period of time...And yes, the three of us had a swell time there. The way we laughed, it's a stress relief therapy! Hahaha.... Thank you Mak Chu *biggggg huggggg*

Back from the movies, I spent all evening in the kitchen. I told Mak Chu she must wait this time until I got all the things I wanted to bake for her, ready to be taken home. It's been lots of time lately, when I planned to bake or cook for her something, she didn't manage to bring them back just because she's always in a hurry (doesn't the white rabbit of Alice in the Wonderland, come to mind? I'm late I'm late I'm late! Hehehe). I prepared 4 menus which 3 of them are new recipes! And just today, I've tried another two. So at least, I have another 5 recipes waiting in the line to be posted! Stay tuned everyone.... hahahaha... as if people are interested to wait mama! Wake up! Hahahaha.... tak apalah, berangan je!

Okay, enough ramblings for today, one of the recipe to be shared today is kidnapped from Che Mat Gebu's lovely blog. Whoever visited his blog without drooling, must get an eyes check-up! Hahaha... Thanks Mat for this yummy and easy to prepare recipe.

Mama juga dengan gagah perkasanya telah mencuba resepi Mat yang amat menyelerakan. Terima kasih bebanyak ye Mat. Mintak halal kopipes ye... bukan kopi gula... ahakss....
