Hi peps. Its been a while since my last update. Had a BBQ gathering on the 24th May with some closed friends. Luckily Ka Sur wake me up around 8.30 am, if not, for sure I will sleep till noon. The night before I had to do my nursing research assignment, and it took me till 3.30 am doing my work. I just can't stop becoz my ideas was flowing... hehehe. Anyway, the BBQ was really awesome and crikey... :) had lambs, beefs, chicken wings, baby octupus, squids and banana prawns (emmm yummy...). Ka Shamilah fried some Hokkien Noodles. Ka Rozy made her Sushi. Hj Rahman bought ginger beer... and I do loved ginger beer and had 3 bootles that day hehehe. If I am not mistaken, we started the BBQ at 10.30 am (or 11 am). While the gengs do the things, I made a special birthday cake for the birthday girl Syafiqah (daughter of Ka Shamilah & Hj Rahim) who turned 9 yrs old last week. I made a chocolate mud cake, with caramel toppings and sprinkled with loads of chocolate rice. Emm... thats is really yummy. Unfortunately, I forgot to take the photos.... man... anyway, wished I had my Canon with me... so I did take a few photos with my compact digital (duhh..) and its better then no pics taken right?? The gathering ended around 4 or 5 pm... (hemm... I forgot the time hehehe). Me, Shamilah and the kids, did go for a dip in the swimming pool and it was really freezing cold... man.. its winter meehhh... hehehe....ok dokey... till next time...

Pink Crocs

This pic actually I intend to capture the mushroom (tu yg kabur ah), because it was very difficult for me to take a very low pic (on the ground), so I just 'kalok-kalok' take the pic without viewing the viewfinder hehehe... so at the end yg jadi, my daughter punya pink crocs plang yg tarang hehehe....

Purple

While checking my photos collection, I 'terkejumpahan' with this pic. Maybe 'Bunga Kuduk-kuduk'... took this photos months ago while me and my family 'lepak-lepak' at our family 'Kebun'. Was practicing my macro... but for sure will need a macro lense if my budget allows me too hehehe...

Makan Doa Selamat

Me and my friends had made some plans for our 'makan-makan' gathering, so we chose the day - Saturday (on the 3rd of May) and we decided to call a few closed friends who lives around Kelvin Grove and one good friend from Logan. The 'Makan-makan' was for 'Doa Selamat' for our coming exam in June. We were hoping that we can pass our end of semester exam with flying colours. As usual, we used the left over money that we collected few weeks ago to buy the grocerries for our 'makan-makan' and some friends also brings foods for 'sedekah'. May God (Allah) blessed us all... AMIN...

(All pictures taken by a friend, thank you)

Adventure to Sea World, Goldcoast.

Sea World entrance...

Tickets booths, near the entrance, as that day was Saturday, so many visitors come and we have to wait for our turn to buy tickets which cost us Aud$33 (offered price for resident, we are considered as one, because we are students, the original pricing is Aud$66)

Just wanna show you people where to get Halal foods, its a buffet type restaurant, so each person (adult) have to pay for Aud$23.95 and the kids, just pay according to their age. The foods are really good, we loved it, and a couple of friends (including me hehehe) tend to have 2nd and 3rd round.

This is Australian Pelican bird, the biggest birds in Sea World, the height up to a man's waist. I took this photos about 2 meters away.... awesome!!

This is Captain Cook's Endeavour Ship and situated near the Dolphin Nursery.

The Sesame Street Beach...

This is Big Bird's Theatre...

This is Bert & Ernie's Big Dive...

The Sesame Street Beach Stage Show.... I just loved Elmo, the red guy hehehe

The sharks, in the underground Shark Bay viewing area....

The fishes... I don't know what is the name...

On the 26th April, me and my friends went to Sea World, Goldcoast. We have been making plans for this journey since weeks ago. So of course we are really excited and really looking forward for this moment. We rent a van (12 seaters van actually), then on that day, me, Hj Rahim + Shamilah & their 4 kids, Ka Surinah and Brother Ahmad started our fun journey. Unfortunately a few other friends can't come with us because of others commitment (especially assignments hehehe). There, I bought a few souveniors, especially the things with Sea World name on it. I even bought two caps, one cap named Bay Shark and the other one is Sesame Street Beach, Grovy. Ok, I put a few pics... so, enjoy....

The cooking activity...

My friends: Rozi, Rosita, Ka Mardiah (yg pakai baju oren, tangan nya saja nampak, mukanya inda nampak) & Shamilah, while they do the cooking things, the hubby babysits the kids ;) Rozi was cutting the shortcrust pastry, Rosita and Ka Mardiah filling the pastry with the cornbeef and Shamilah brushed the pastry with egg.

This is our first recipe, Triple Chocolate Mud Cake... wah the test so sedap mehh... really chocolate flavour test loh... my favourite ;) Top with Milk Chocolate and thin pieces of white chocolate on top.

The second recipe, Teddies' Picnic Pillow, this test good too, the fillings is Cornbeef (bawa dari Brunei) cooked with pineapples, peas and corn.

Third recipe, Kids' Quiches, paling laris hehehe, sorang makan sampai dua biji. A very simple quiche actually, the fillings are beef luncheon added with mushroom, fresh parsley and tomato.

Me and my friends had set up the day today for our gathering and our first ever cooking class. As for my self, I think I am considered to be the cooking instructor hehehe (perasannnn...) I choose three recipes for today, so all the cooking materials was prepared in the morning. My friends come over to my apartment about 2.30 pm. They are Shamilah + hubby + her three kids, Rozi + hubby + 2 kids, Rosita with her son and Mardiah. We do enjoy our gathering because we don't have any other family other than us. So, it is a good experience for us and good eating hahaha... the next gathering could be on the 3rd of May, as next saturday we will have an outing activity. Kalau di Brunei nie, dapat jual sudah makanannya... hehehe
