From Aku, with love

When your partner feels sad, do something to make him or her happy. Know his or her soft spot. For example, if your wife loves gardening. Surprise her by taking her to a nursery. She will look at you open-mouthed, then she will smile. She will forget all her sadness and only think of the plants that she's going to buy. Simple!

Attended a wedding reception.  My family reached the venue early. Entering the hall, I love its decoration. It's an air conditioner hall. On the beautiful stage, which was full with colourful flowers,  I saw a wedding dais and.... it's like calling me. "Mari mari mari". I looked at my husband and said, "let's take photos at the wedding dais . Only my bang teh's family here". And he agreed. I asked my nephew ( the groom's brother ) to take our photos. So my husband and I went to the stage. We sat on the dais and my nephew started klik klik. Thank you ❤️.  After that my husband and I went to our table. We had a chat with my niece ( kak lang's daughter ) and her husband, kak chik and her husband and bang ngah. They just reached. My mother sat with bang long's family. I was not active because I didn't want to feel tired and have a fever like before. I felt comfortable, enjoyed eating my nasi minyak and  varieties of lauk. They're deli...

I cooked masak lemak cili api ikan sembilang today. I bought three ikan keli at pasar tani this morning. They're quite big and long. The fish monger helped me cut the three fish into a few pieces. I washed the fish with limau kasturi ( from my garden ) and salt. Then I grilled the fish using my Europlus emerald multi cooker. But not all the grilled fish i put into my masak lemak because my son and I like eating the grilled fish panas-panas. For the recipe, I  just googled. Easy!

May 15 Alhamdulillah it rained yesterday. Although it's not a heavy rain, it rained. Alhamdulillah ❤️. Yesterday morning, I called my sister, kak chik . She was at my mother's house. I invited her, my bang ngah, my brother in law and my mother to join me and my son to have lunch at a steamboat and grill restaurant in Bandar Satelit. I also called bang ngah to inform him about the restaurant location.  My husband didn't join us because he's working. Next time ok.  At 12.30 p.m. all of us were there except my mother. She's going to Putrajaya with my nephew. But I told my mother not to be sad. I will take her to that restaurant when she's staying with me.  I chose a seafood set but i don't think it's enough . So I added Dory fillet, squids, chicken meat and scallop. We had rice but I also added maggi. Ok lah. The restaurant owner was so generous. She gave us a plate of satay meat. Wahhh. We said thank you.  All of us really enjoyed our meal. Alhamdulillah ❤...

May 14 My friend, Adik 🎀 came to my house yesterday afternoon. She wanted to take the bromeliad that I promised to give her. I had extra so it's better to give it to my friend. A plastic jar of tempeyek, a gift from her. Thank you ❤️. She proudly said that it's the best tempeyek and after I ate it, yup she's right. I cooked masak asam pedas ikan jenahak for her and my family. When she's ready to have her lunch , using my Europlus emerald multi cooker, I started grilling the squids, the prawns and the chicken meat on my kitchen island. And they're grilled in front of her. She was like in a Japanese Restaurant. Makan panas panas ler. She shared the pictures and video while I was grilling the food with our 🎀 group. And they were also excited.  Then we moved to the dining table and had a long chat. I gave her a small plastic jar of popia simpul. It's my doorgift. I thought of buying something else for her but I didn't have time to go to that place yesterday mo...

My husband and I visited my mother. Brought mi kari for her and my brother. Then I gave my mother the Ariani tudung that I bought. Alhamdulillah, it fitted her face nicely. She likes the colour and is easy to wear. No need to use a brooch. Before I left, I kissed my mother's forehead and prayed for her good health and happiness. Aamiin ya Allah ❤️. Last night, my son sent me a mother's day video with my photos on it. Love the wording , the music and I'm touched. Thank you ❤️. 

Happy Mother's Day! I think my husband forgot about it. But he did ask where I wanted to go today as tomorrow is a public holiday. I told him the place. So he took us to Ayam Bakar Station, Port Dickson to have our lunch. I told him it would be my treat. He just nodded. I ordered "nasi putih + ayam madu" and "air kelapa" for the three of us. After paying,  we walked to the car. Our son wished me Happy Mother's Day. I smiled and said thank you. I told my husband that it's my treat today because I wanted to show my love to both of them. Then he said , " it's your day today so I will take you around as you love listening to the songs while I'm driving". From Port Dickson, he drove to Tanjung Agas then Kuala Sungai Baru, Masjid Tanah, Alor Gajah,........I was so happy. Sometimes , I looked at my husband while he was driving. When our eyes met, he would smile. Only Allah knows my  abundance of love for  this guy. I want to make him happy and...
