Since last Thursday (4/12/2008) - Monday (8/12/2008), I were at these places for a short enjoyable moments. Before balik Puchong, my sweet friend invited me and another friend to have a lunch buffet at Soul Garden...yumyum..It's a Korean Restaurant where you can make your own grill and steamboat with luxurious variety of food. Well, not so luxurious like in Shogun, but the food was nice, the price was affordable and lagi sedap because orang belanja (hihihi..jangan marah, ok). Then, on the next day I spend most of my time at home in Puchong and as usual doing some cooking to overcome my stress from work. Unfortunately, there were not much thing I could do with Puchong kitchen (rumah bujangla katakan...), so I decided to cook Curry Sardin.
Then, on the next day, move to JB and straight to Singapore since my parent joined the Singapore Marathon 2008 (I only "mara" to Singapore...). When we arrived at our house, I saw that our fish pond is functioning! It was so beautiful with the small fountain and lights. My mom sempat lagi masak-masak fried mee hoon since my father's friend came down and our neighbour Eva & Ken came along to adjust the pond water flow, so we had a small dinner together near the pond.
At 10 p.m. we went to Larkin, took a bus to Singapore, uckily my father's friend advised us not to take a car there since we will be fine if we went to the wrong zone. Zone? Nak pegi Singapore pun ada zone-zone tak boleh masuk ker? This is my first time to explore the place, so I wasn't planning to go for shopping or elsewhere, just for the sake of the marathon. We reached Hotel 81 Classic at Joo Cheat Road (Singapore has many range of Hotel 81...) at 11p.m and we were so tired (Puchong...JB...Singapore). I didn't realize when my parents went for the marathon on 5 a.m, and guess what my sisters and I just stay laziness in the hotel till my parents get back to checked out at 1 p.m although we saw a shopping complex next to the hotel. Memang tak ada mood, tak tahu kenapa.
Pastu, terus balik JB. Pelikkan, datang tidur and terus balik. Never mind, since our parents were really really tired, so we decided to go home.
The next day is Hari Raya Haji, macam biasa masakla kan. My mom masak kari kepala ikan, rendang daging, instant ketupat palas and lemang. Ena made Creamy Baked Macaroni. Huda mopped the house and I, tolong my mom masak :) Beside, kat sini hujan tak henti-henti from the morning till night, memang sejuk sangat.
And today, my mom early in the morning sempat buat rendang ayam pulak before we (siblings) drive back to Melaka (to send Kamal and I),Huda and Ena drive back to Puchong. Sayang mama....and abah jugak...;)
