Cooking session with friends

My friends & I had planned this cooking activity for so long, but only today we manage to make our plan work. Everyone had been very busy with their personal activities until TODAY, we manage to find some time to fit our cooking activity in our "busy" schedule.
.
.
I woke up early to prepare my coleslaw (just a simple dish).
Steam the corn, clean & shred the cabbage and carrot.
Done with my task, I'm off to Yee Lin's house.

Shredded cabbage.
Reach Yee Lin's place around 10.30 am with Sherryn.
Here is where all the real cooking starts.
All the ingredients had been prepared in advance, so we don't need much time to prepare the food.
Everything goes smoothly.
Lingli & Sherling help Yee Lin & Jasmine with the cooking, while I am busy helping Sherryn with her Tangy Smoothie.

Jasmine frying pork chop.
We manage to complete all the cooking in 1 & 1/2 hours.
That's the benefit when we have lots of manpower.. erm.. i mean girlpower.. hehe..
Anyway, thanks to Yee Lin's maid for doing all the cleaning, less work for us already. *wink..wink*
.
.
Here's the outcome:

1.
Yee Lin's delicious spaghetti.



2.
Jasmine's tasty & tender Pork Chop.
(Sorry to the Muslim, it's non-halal)




3.
My colourful coleslaw.
.
.
Time to enjoy our Lunch. Lingli calls this as "fine dining".
^^

Oh wait, not to forget our Tangy Smoothie after lunch.

Sherryn's refreshing Tangy Smoothie.

After lunch, we proceed with the karaoke session.
We had so much fun & laughter today, especially the chaos when 6 girls are cooking in the kitchen.
Hopefully this will not be our last time cooking together.
Looking forward for more cooking session with other varieties of food.

Deepavali

A short post for this one.
Went Deepavali visiting yesterday.
Most of my friends can't make it for this year visiting.
.
.
Started with Shaline's house around 1 pm.
I was served with typical Indian food;
tosai, idli, vege, chicken curry, mutton & few more dishes.
.
.
After that, my bro & I went all the way to Jasin to visit Pav & Mathan.
Convoyed with Mathan & his friends there.
Their mum served us with ayam masak merah, rendang ayam, mixed vege and mutton kurma.
Something different from the typical Indian food.
This the uniqueness of living in Malaysia, we can serve any kind of food during the festive season (or all year round),
even my family serve lemang & rendang (food that are normally served during Hari Raya) for Chinese New Year.
.
.
Went dinner at Kuhan's house with Shaline.
We had Nasi Beriyani and other few dishes.
Met Mr. Ronald & family there. Had a nice chat with them.
Time fly really fast whenever we are having fun.
.
.
Oh ya, no picture for this post to prevent you people from drooling in front of your screen.
:P

Broken glasses

My dad, uncle, bro & I were on our way back from my grandparents place this evening, when my mum suddenly phoned and inform us that someone had broke our window when she reached home. My mum did not follow us back coz she was working this morning. The first thing that came across my mind was "Die!! People wanted to break-in into our house!"
I did not know how bad was the damaged or which window was broken.
I let my mind wandered and try to figure out which window was it, but my guess will be one of my kitchen windows (1 facing the back lane and another 1 facing the side of my house).
Once I reached home, I looked at the front windows. All the window glasses are there in their places.
Then, sure confirm my kitchen window already.
Kitchen window facing the side of my house.
.
.
When I saw the broken glasses, I was like...
"Okay... Luckily only a small hole."
Found a stone in the kitchen, should be the stone that cause my window glasses broke.


Stone.
.
.
Luckily my uncle has extra window glasses and gave it to us. If not, another extra work to go and find any shop that still open till that time.

2 assumptions on the incident:

1st : Kids playing at the back lane and accidentally broke the window. (I heard kids' voices playing at the back lane few days back)

2nd : Someone purposely broke the window to peep what's inside my house. Survey to break-in my house.

I really hope that my 1st assumption in the real reason.
