Lemak Cili Padi Daging Dengan Rebung

MY RAMBLINGS

*Timidly stepping in....*
Assalamualaikum. I come in peace! Hihihihi....

I know that I have not been updating the blog for A WHILE. And yes, I had been receiving the same question for so many times from so many friends. I am touched. People do remember me.

Well, besides being lazy to update, the camera in my phone is not being nice to me. That actually puts me off. On top of that, I had forgotten where I put my camera! Huhuhuhu... macam dapat madu sepah dibuang je lagaknya kan... bila madu dah habis, dok mengais cari sepah balik semula... muehehehehe...

Apart from the technical problems, I am busy trying to reduce things in the house. And also, we had been doing quite a bit of travelling since my kids are no longer staying with us. So mama and ayah get the chance to travel... yeeeehaaa... I just love to travel. Though not that far but still, the chance to travel never fails to excite me.

In sha Allah I will try my best to update more often though the photos presented in my blog are just ordinary photos, nothing spectacular! But I am happy....
