the start of something new :)

note:so i've decided to write in malay and english cause that's the way my brain works so i'm sorry in advance if you can't understand what i write!

mid-march already! ya Allah,kadang-kadang fikir time is moving slowly and then think again actually cepat jugak :)

so here are some of the things i've been cooking since i've been back in melb.i'm making it a habit to cook and eat at home. why would you want to eat out when u can enjoy food in the comforts of your own home and lunch packed from home is always the envy of your colleagues.

kari ikan brahims-cheat recipe cause all u need to add is the fish & bendi but the challenge will be making this from stratch :)

sambal udang with vegetables-nenek taught me how to make the carrot look like that :) she is my awesome cooking teacher.
one day tiba-tiba kempunan nak makan sambal udang :) so this is a cheat version too thanks to brahims.
i love chinese broccoli and oyster sauce-so easy and yummy!
my first meal back in melb.after i took this picture,makan sambil menangis cause i was missing malaysia soooooooooooo much!

another recipe from nenek-makan ni during winter is one of the best things :) u get fish,vegetables and gravy all in one periuk!

lunch box meal :) just leftovers from dinner-this time it's sardine and chinese broccoli.kenyang perut makan ni at work.
dinner

fish curry and vegetables-yummo!!
first time buat sayur like this-cabbage+longbeans+eggs-quite nice actually.
mushroom+cheese omelette-side dish for lunch
food for last sunday's long shift 0800-2200:the most important thing for any long shift is the constant supply of food and in my case healthy food-so lots of fruits,juices x2 and a yogurt for good measure. when u pack your own food to work,u make healthier food choices-so u don't end up eating junk at work :)

woke up one day and tiba-tiba terasa nak makan salmon.spaghetti marina on a bed of salad,salmon on top and steamed veges.puas hati makan.my post run meal :)
weekly lunch with the bro-kari ikan thanks to brahims and eggs-the way he likes it.
my favourite meal of the day is breakfast.on this particular morning we only had very limited supply of food at home cause i didn't do the groceries yet. so kalau perut lapar macam-macamla idea utk makan-simple french toast using wholegrain bread,protein shake and fruits :)

dinner on friday night-post work i stopped by safeway to get groceries-ayam masak madu thanks to brahim :) some chinese broccoli and eggs+mushroom omellete.mata terus tak leh bukak post dinner-syukur alhamdulillah :)
the lastest recipe i'm trying to master.sad to say i've never cooked fried bihun in my life until last week bila tiba-tiba terasa nak makan and so far i've had it 3 times.it's so easy to make and u can make it healthy just by putting more vegetables in.terlalu senang :)

this is just a summary of what i've been up to in the kitchen.i think i'll make a list of the things i want to learn to cook this year but as u can tell a lot of the things i eat are the things yg tiba-tiba terasa nak makan or teringin :) i'm also trying to get back to a healthier lifestyle.

last 5 months of 2010,i ate so much tanpa fikir dua kali.no regrets they say-syukur alhamdulillah.

i've also registered to run two events in the next few months.my running has gone haywire.stamina out the window cause i'm not running as often as i used to.tapi it's okay.i've got a gameplan to get back in shape by september :) all i have to do is follow it!

the first run of 2011 will be on wednesday and it will be an awesome run at docklands.

i cannot wait!
