Rasanya memang failed lah bagi seorang photographer kalau tak tau apa apa tentang subjectnya. :D
Setiap hari bila pergi kerja, selalu nampak bunga ni letak betul atas pagar jiran. Berkenaan. Hari tu on the way Tesco Stargate, nampak ada satu nursery susun banyak bunga ni, terus lah park kereta dan beli 2 pasu, satu merah dan kuning. Tapi lebih suka yang warna merah sebab bunganya besar!
Sampai sekarang tak tau ni bunga apa. Dahlia? Daisy atau Sunflower?
Owhh percaya atau tidak, gambar ni diambil dengan camera handphone Sony Xperia je. :)
Allah created everything out of love, and therefore He loves what He has created. Subsequently He loves the believers even more intensely. Allah has created people in such a way that they enjoy being loved and loving others, and are pleased with friendships and closeness.. ;)

As soon as we reach our room :
First night
The next morning..
And me, doing the photoshoot nearby the resort.This is view from our cabin.
The baits!. Fresh and alive.
First night
We fish until night fall. At night, err let's not go into details here for obvious reasons. ;p Lets just assume that we were just too tired fishing all day, we fell asleep as soon as we fell on the bed. Period. :D
The next morning..
We sleep like a troll! it was the sound of DH's voice saying that he needs to check the fishing rods that woke me up..
We delighted ourselves with super sweet teh tarik and seafood fried kuew teow for breakfast. And we continue fishing after that.

We weren't lucky enough to catch any big fish except the baby puffer fish! But we really enjoy the beautiful scenery, and the sea breeze while waiting for the sunset....

I like the fact that the resort cabin is facing the sea. We really enjoy it!
Wait for the next entry. Sunset at Marina Island =))

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, and always with the same person... ;P
Our "deadliest catch" during the Fishing trip at Marina Island. It was a baby Puffer fish, so cute that I quickly run to chalet room, to get my camera and this poor baby fish gasping for oxygen for few minutes. We then quickly release this buddy back to the sea. DH said, the puffer fish has a strong nerve poison called tetradotoxin. The poison is found in their skin, intestines, and liver and there are no special treatments or antidotes for tetradotoxin poisoning!!
Only then we realized, It was a puffer fish curse when we keep getting "junk fish" later on. haihhh bad luck!

Have a bunch of overripe bananas and day after day you watch them ripen and you know you won't be able to eat them all at once because 1 banana = 1 cup rice... die die! hahah. So the best thing is to freeze them, but its sound crazy to eat frozen banana, but not to frozen banana muffin. Most muffins freeze well up to 3 months.
Check out the simple recipe, with slightly adaptations. So far this recipe produce the softest and delicious banana muffin ever! For Original recipe, credit to En. Mat Gebu
Banana Muffins (Yields 6 big size muffins)
Ingredients :
1 1/2 cup flour - sifted together with 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/3 Granulated sugar / brown sugar
1/3 melted butter / canola oil
1 size B egg
4 ripe bananas - mashed it
1 teaspoon banana essence - I used vanilla essence
1 tablespoon mayonnaise (i omitted this)
Methods :
1. Cream melted butter and sugar
2. Add vanilla and beaten eggs
3. Add flour mixture into wet ingredients,
stirring just to moisten. Dont overmix!
4. Add mashed banana and stir gently.
5. Fill muffin cups to the top (to get big high muffins) and bake at 190 c for 5 minutes (my way just to get nice crispy crumble and the muffin slightly crack on top). Continue to bake at 175 c for 20 -25 minutes.
How to freeze banana muffins : Allow the muffins to cool completely after bake. Place the muffins in a large freezer bag or air tight food container. Place it in freezer.
To reheat - thaw completely and reheat them in the microwave until they are as warm as you like.How to freeze banana muffins : Allow the muffins to cool completely after bake. Place the muffins in a large freezer bag or air tight food container. Place it in freezer.
But if you like little crispy exterior just like fresh baked muffin, thaw them completely and heat them in toaster oven or oven at 175 c.
Here are some basic muffins making tips:
1. Use pre-sifted all purpose flour
2. Muffin batter needs to be mixed quickly and as lightly as possible – basically only stirring it moisten it together. The batter needs to look lumpy. If you are going to use electric mixer, use it only for putting together wet ingredients.
3.Most muffins can be baked at 175 c
4. If you want big, high muffins, fill your muffin cups to the top. You might want to grease the top of muffins tin as well to prevent sticking and make unmolding easier.
5. All the muffins will freeze beautifully,you just need to cool them completely, wrap them in foil and put into airtight plastic bags. To re-heat them, unwrap and bake at 175 c for no more than 10 minutes.

Just think of countless things you got without praying..
It's call blessing!
Bear shaped brownies ;))
Bake a batch of brownies as you normally would and using a bear shaped cookie cutter, cut out the brownies. Too cute to eat heehee
This is Mr Brownie, my snuggle partner. I just grab Mr Brownie and I cuddle it and force myself to sleep. I like to smell at the top of the head, the scents just never go away hahahaha so kiddish but it helps me sleep thru those tough night especially the nights when DH away and I miss him so much. It gives the sweet feeling that everything is going to okay the next day when you awake..
This is my Mr Gummi Bear, and his konco konco ;p
Less is more...
A plate of Nasi Kerabu. The blue tinted rice, combined with fresh aromatic local herbs : basil, lemongrass, ginger torch buds and raw vegetables; bean sprouts, long green beans, shallots, cucumber, are combined together with strong flavored ingredients such as salted egg, fish crackers, fried beefs and sambal kelapa and budu. Boy, this is truly heaven! You can always accompany this dish by a range of side dish like curry or sambal tumis but the dish taste much better when you just eat it on its own..
You have to determine what’s “important” or “enough” for you...
So can you relate the quote?
Something that is less complicated is often better understood and more appreciated than what is more complicated; simplicity is preferable to complexity; brevity in communication is more effective than verbosity..You have to determine what’s “important” or “enough” for you...
Have a great Sunday peeps :D
