taman kami

gambar pertama di ambil semasa summer tahun ini
gambar kedua di ambil ketika autumn semasa 1st frost melanda
gambar ketiga, baru ambil siang tadi


terbaru, garden kami sudah  gondol, tiada lagi plot sayur-sayuran dan bunga-bungaan yang ada di dalam pasu semuanya dah kiok..di sini suhu waktu siang sudah 1 darjah celcius dan suhu waktu malam sudah mencapai -3 darjah celcius
jangan tertipu dengan cahaya matahari yang bersinar terang itu
walaupun seminit berdiri kat luar pun dah tak tahan


tempat lain di dalam England kecuali London sudah pun snowing
tempat kitorang je belum lagi
BBC Weather meramalkan Egham akan ditimpa salji Selasa ni.. we'll wait and see

salah satu aktiviti wanita2 Egham

last two days we had gathering for ladies (i thought it was just for ladies but in the end there were two guys ended up joining us)
tujuan gathering - saje-saje.. sebab most kakaks and auntie(s) di sini adalah housewives, dan suami2 mereka sahaja yang keje/study 
food theme for that day was - western's
so i brought spaghetti with mushroom and black pepper sauce and also brioche in custard for the dessert ( some kakaks who didn't have a chance to eat it during Eid gathering asked me to make it again as everybody loves it)

antara yang datang..lihatla diatas meja itu...loaded with food! semuanya sedap2..

roasted chicken...lazat!!

choc fondue with fruits :)

;)

some of the desserts.. ade tiramisu, lemon cake, blueberry cheesecake and my brioche in custard.. semua licin!!

fish pie pun ada..

done with the eating, all ladies moved on with White Elephant game.. we had our present wrapped and nobody knows whose gonna get what for this game.. dalam game ni boleh main curi-curi hadiah orang lain plak.. 

at first, i unwrapped this present and i got Portmeirion clock.. in the end kene curi dengan orang lain yang minat dengan jam ni

another gift unwrapped and i got this.. still lagi kene curi dengan orang lain but in the end i managed to steal it back from the previos stealer..haha.. after 4 times changing hands, finally the owner is ME!!
happy sangat sebab this container dah sold out masa i went to the Portmeirion Marquee Sale haritu.. last2 dapat free :)

White Elephant's participants with their final pressie
nak tahu siapa dapat hadiah qila.. it was Kak Anita..yang duduk atas sofa paling kanan
the gift was chocolate shower foam bought at Next.. ramai jugak yang curi shower foam tu..yela..masing2 kata nak guna masa mandi dengan suami masing2..haha

alkisah Portmeirion

Hari Sabtu lepas adalah hari penat-sedunia untuk saya dan suami

bangun pagi seawal jam 4.30 pagi dan memandu ke Stoke-on-Trent selama 3 jam (tak termasuk jammed di motorway) semata-mata untuk beratur panjang-panjang

dan lepas 4 jam baru dapat masuk khemah Portmeirion Marquee Sales tu..

lain kali kalau nak pergi sana haruslah masak makanan panas-panas, bawak air panas dalam tumbler dan siap picnic chair supaya sambil beratur boleh bersantap dan kasi sume orang di situ *drooling*..hehe..

btw, ini kali pertama saya dan suami berkecimpung dalam bidang pinggan mangkuk ni.. memang we all tak sangka lah...dalam pada niat nak tengok2 cuci mata je..adalah juga seketul dua barang disambar :)

qila lupe nak snap gambar orang2 pertama yang masuk beli barang dan keluar

memang berkotak-kotak diorang borong

dasyat betul penangan Portmeirion ni

and to your knowledge, memang majoriti yang qued up adalah Malaysians!!

bile tanya kakak-kakak yang lagi arif pasal brand ni, rupenye harga die memang tak mampu dibeli di KL

sampai ada set Portmeirion jual kat KLCC harga die around RM5800!!

inilah die antara produk2 Portmeirion yang hangat di pasaran itu

akira~chan dah demok!!!! uwaaaaa!

kat khemah putih sebelah kiri tula tempat Marquee Sales tu diadakan..nak sampai kat entrance die amik masa 4 jam dari tempat gambar ni diambil..dasyat tak dasyat!

and the line is still long at the back!

shipping

today, we have sent a big box to be shipped to Malaysia for the first time

what's inside?? hehe

stuff for families, of course!

any Malaysians yang nak hantar barang2 dari UK, you can browse this website link for more details and their rates, ok?

and whoever got any companies with lesser rates are also welcome to paste their link at my site.. *wink* ;P

Party memanaskan rumah

esok, Kak Syura, warga Melayu yang baru menetap di Egham akan mengadakan house-warming party di rumahnya

by the way, saya akan masak ayam goreng berempah untuk party tu

harap2 sedapla rasanya nanti


:)

Subhanallah!

Ascot Fireworks for Charity

Last Saturday was almost a busy day for both me and hubby (at 11.30am it started! :p)
we were invited by Kak Bib to have laksa and soto at her house at Ashford.. Kak Bib has thrown a party before and it seems that we were not able to attend due to some misunderstanding that we couldn't avoid at that point of time so that's why she insisted of having another day of makan-makan with us at her house
Alhamdulillah rezeki kami nampaknya haritu :)


well, the big story wasn't about that anyway~~
we had our first fireworks event coming that evening and I never taught that we all need to come earlier for that!
aiya..tak sempat nak buat snek kat rumah, jadi kami beli take-away food jela..(not to forget the latte as well! *wink*)

the fireworks was for charity (tapi tak ingat untuk charity ape) and it was held at Ascot Racecourse...tempat orang2 kaya lumba kuda.. besar macam stadium jugakla

we thought that there were no race for that day..tup2 datang diorang tengah display their horses for betting purposes. Nampaknya kene tengok lumba kuda dulula baru leh tengok fireworks.. but it was fine though, kalau tak dapat masuk Ascot Racecourse ni tak taula macam mana sebenarnya suasana betting dan lumba kuda tu, ye tak?

but don't worry we were just watching, no activities of betting or exchanging money was happened! :)

sejuk woo.. nasib baik ada latte panas..hekhek!

ready to snap the fireworks with my Samsung! :)

snap-snap!!

last but not least..sempat amik gambar untuk diri sendiri dan suami tercinta :))

don't puke.. ok!

this is the best thing about being married..you can hug or cuddle your hubby anywhere,anytime you want!

lalalala~
