Kuih, kueh.........

Start buat kuih yesterday and today....M&M cookies, honey cornflakes, bantal peluk saloma...tomorrow we will be doing the chocolate chip cookies.....next week will be kuih makmur and kuih tart.
I have always loved making kuih. It is always more satisfying (cheaper too!) to make your own kuih than buying. You know what makes the kuih all seem so nice when you make it your own? The fact that it is your own sweat in making it. Too bad I got sick (flu) and couldn't really do much. Herman and the other kids at home helped my mum who is the supervisor to adun and Faiz is in-charge of the baking. I am part helper and nanny. I had to look after Shadiq and also Emma. Kind of funny though, there are times that Emma was on my lap (sleeping) and my hands were doing all the kneading....Shadiq however is occupied with playing soccer at the corridor area with the kids.

Now, I am in the midst of imagining on how to start cleaning the house. Dusting, sweeping, moping, washing and whatevers. Just thinking about it give me a headache. Herman will surely be busy cooking the rendangs, ayam gorengs. Yes, my husband Herman is the one who help his mum to cook for Hari Raya. So for those of you who will come to my house to visit, don't be surprised if you saw him cooking. We have already assign ourselves on what to do on the eve of Hari Raya. I am in-charge of the cleaning-deco section, Herman is in-charge of the cooking-kitchen section and the kids in the house will be in-charge of the childcare and play section.

Poor Shadiq. Yesterday, both of us were so busy with preparing the kuihs and buying the ingredients that we totally forgot to feed him. Kesian kena puasa satu hari tak makan nasi. Just gave him milk....at night, he got such a bad stomache. Felt quite bad about it. So today I made sure that he ate despite all the hustle and bustle in the house.
And another thing about him is that he has literally exhausted and worn out our P-Ramlee vcds. We watched the movies every night without fail before he sleeeps (requested with persistant cries) and it got to the point that he can memorise the songs and the lyrics of the story even dance steps. From Bujang Lapok (Seniman and Pendekar), Nujum Pak Belalang, Labu Labi (part 1 and 2), Lela Manja, and the list goes on... Don't know what it is about the movies that clicks with him. We, ourselves, got bored of it all and when we changed to cartoons or animated movies, he isn't that all interested. Just like this morning..from 530am to nearly 8am, it was just classics and nothing but classics on the tv. We slept through it all and he was the one who changed the cds and play the cds. Yes, he know which cd to choose and how to run the vcd player as well as the tv. Its just easier and less painful for us...

And last but not least to everyone out there :
SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI !!!!!
