Bake & Celebrate

I hardly bake, actually. But work related stress had me trying my luck - sweat dripping by the oven sometime last week. Tried making cookies from a recipe I googled on the Internet. I still have a long way to go, that's for sure.

Anyway, these nutty chocs turned out not too bad and kids finished the plateful at one go.

Last weekend, the "crazy feeling" to bake came again. The many pictures (which most of the time made me drool) posted by superb bakers on FB, got me taking out my baking stuffs. And result of the hard work were these cuties (puji sendiri lah kan....).

We named them "Lil Pink Buttons" - plain butter cup cakes with sugar icing on top.

These was also another reason to celebrate. Our anniversary; as usual, it slipped my mind again this year. Only remembered it when I was driving the girls to their activities on Saturday. I could have sworn I entered important dates to my BB. Err....perhaps I did, but I did not save after doing so (which is very typical of me....)

It wasn't possible to do much of a celebration on Saturday itself as girls' program got us occupied till late afternoon. So how did we celebrate? Were there fireworks? Blimp across Shah Alam sky? Oh tidakkk....no need for that lah. Instead we opted to go do our favourite pass time -makan-makan :)

Dinner was here on Sunday evening.

The girls...

The shy guy....

The couple... (of 23 years & many, many kilos heavier and centimeters wider)

The couple back then (ohhh how to get back to that size again???)

Kay,
Happy Anniversary. All of us has piled kilos over the years, but you both still look good.
You are good at baking so keep at it. One day you can challenge Yani and Za, let us be the Judge, we can have Iron Chef like competition.

That’s the way to go Kay, release work induced stress by doing something useful like baking, nice very nice. Hehehe that cup cake with 5 m&ms, u saving it for yourself kah or for the lo-kung?

Anyway, ‘Happy Anniversary to u & Abe’, 23 years + 5 years of courting I supposed (from that old photo, looking so young & innocence & so cute..kekeke). I wish the both of u will have many more happy years ahead. This one 4U, ( your time top hit too circa early 80’s?);

KOOL Cherish

Cheers,

Tommy

P/S – Yes, don’t laugh; I confessed I did ‘Get Down on it’ at ‘Ladies Night’ in the 80’s.

Dear Mamasita,

Ohhh that old pic was taken a few months after me knew each other in the States. It was at one of those raya dos. Bercinta dari masa sekolah tinggi...LOL.

We have LOTS of grey dah Datin oiii!!! Abe's hair is almost all white and much, much lesser volume as compare to those younger days. But tak pe lah, we are what we are kan.

Thanks for the wishes. Boleh lawan Zai?? Nooooooo.......Zai tu dah super league. I tak masuk league pun lagi..heh...heh. Lagi pun tak mooo lawan dia, next time camne nak indulge her cuppies??

kay_leeda said...

Dear Hazlin,

Heh..heh...gambar toya tu if I am not mistaken was taken circa Summer 1983 in Madison. It was Raya like I mentioned earlier.

Thanks for the wishes too. Yes, Nissa was the tukang sibuk. Dah tu, orang lain tak mo get themselves dirty. Dia sorang je lah yg still boleh di ajak buat activity like this.

Dear Ibu, Mommy, Mom,

Thanks for being a reader. Hope you don't mind my merapu stories at times.

We met in Uni. It's been a longggggg time :) and telah banyak cabaran dilalui. But Alhamdulillah syukur.

Dear Cik Puan Kamil,

Hey kita nyer anniv dekat-dekat eh! Thanks dear...muahhhhh. Same goes to you too :)

kay_leeda said...

Dear NanaDJ,

WE looking good? Oh thanks for the compliments, am sure the other half will kembang semangguk :)

Me up against Zai & Yani?? Ohhhh noooo....I lebih suka lawan makan those yummylicious stuffs they make :D

kay_leeda said...

Dear Tommy,

The cuppies with the most M&Ms was for the person who created it - Nissa. She walloped more that she should. It's good to know that no matter how not nice (maybe lah huh..just my guess only) the cuppies might have been, the kids ate them clean. That matters the most and gives such a great feeling.

Thanks for the song dedication. Love it!! You know our song was actually "Truly" by Lionel Ritchie. Those were the days, the free and easy days *wink*

Wahhhh you so terrer ka?? Bet them ladies we all over you or was it the other way around?

p/s Me innocent?? Heh..heh never judge a book by its cover!!

Dear Sis,

Har har...the blue lace baju!! So lip lap, one of these days must put pic of the baju in the blog...LOL.

Thanks for yr wishes too <3
