Eating in: Homemade Pizza

Few days ago, I was motivated to make my own pizzas after watching License to Grill on AFC. Somehow I made my own ingredients up without looking at any recipe (it's pretty easy, trust me!). They are...



Homemade Pizza -for 4

2 pita breads -halfed
1 medium size capsicum -chopped/sliced
8 slices of dory fish
Tomato sauce/pasta sauce -generous amount
Garlic spread
Salt & pepper -to taste
  • Spread on the garlic spread on each pita bread
  • Next, put on and spread the tomato sauce
  • Dress in the capsicum and cover up with pasta sauce, and/or
  • Dress in the dory fish and cover up with pasta sauce
  • Pinch of salt and pepper onto each pita bread
  • Bake for 15 minutes at 200-225 deg
Remember to preheat the oven at the same temperature for at least 10 minutes.


As you can see, I don't have mozzarella cheese spread over my pizzas. But, you can improvise accordingly. I did too. The sauce on lower right pizza, was added with mayonnaise (it looks orangy). I just want to try how it tastes like when it's done. These pizzas were only a second away before getting into the hot oven.



This is a closer look of the pizzas before being put into oven. This is capsicum with sliced fish. I'm sure it'll taste much better with cheese spread over it.



After waiting for 15 minutes, it's finally done. This is the plain capsicum with tomato sauce, with a slightly burnt crust... YUMZ~ And the pizza with mayonnaise added in, it tasted heavenly!

I bought all my ingredients from Jusco. The size of a pita bread is somewhat like the personal pizza from Pizza Hut. You can try dressing in mushroom, ham, cheese and anything you can think of. Be creative :)

Invitation card



My wedding invitation card is done! I have collected the cards and they're ready to be given away ... though a little early to do so right now. I'm all excited already!

One invitation down, one to go! I wonder what's the progress of another invitation card going *smile widely*

Eating out: Vietnam Kitchen

After my pilates class, I went to 1Utama to meet up with a long-time friend, Estee. The last time we met was during her wedding dinner April 2007. Tsk! That's really long, long time ago. We dined at Vietnam Kitchen.


Fresh Prawn Roll, priced at RM6.90

We ordered this to begin with. Come to think of it, this has got to be the most ordered starter every time I dine at this eatery. I like it because it's fresh (non-fried) and the dipping sauce is yummy. Absolutely a must-have!


Pork Ball Noodle, priced at 10.90

Estee ordered the Pork Ball Noodle Soup. She said it tasted good, noodles is smooth, vegetables' fresh and pork ball is... porky! Haha. The broth is rich with herbs too.


Dry Vermicelli with Spring Roll, priced at RM10.90

Other than spring rolls, it also comes with diced chicken. I ordered this because I simply love the amount of fresh greens that comes with it. And I like where I can pour in the accompanying hot & sweet gravy into the bowl. Sounds fun! :P For those who prefer less meat and more greens, I would recommend this.



This is Estee and I. It's been far too long since we last meet. We should set a date to talk out hearts out again :)

p/s: K800i is back in service! woooot!

Baby Mifzal



My dear ex-colleague Yoe gave birth to baby Mohd Mifzal a few months ago. And because of hers and my hectic schedules, I only had the chance to visit her today in her home in Bukit Tinggi. Her baby son welcomed me with his jolly smiles and giggles. He is so cute that the moment I laid my eyes, I felt like cuddling and snuggling him. And he smells great too :D

Yoe, make sure you make more babies OK? Then Aunt Carol will have more excuse to come over more often ;)

A dream

Two nights ago, I was awaken by sound of knocking, The kind that you normally knock on door with your knuckles. This is different, it was soft. Normally I am sound asleep, that even neighbour's alarm can't wake me. Somehow, this knocking sound woke me.

It was 5.10am when I got up. I listen carefully again, it was gone. All I hear was the aircon blowing its cool air. I tip-toed to my bathroom for further checking. Nothing. I was afraid that burglars might had climbed onto our roof and looking for a way down. Upon hearing nothing, it was a sign of relief. I hopped onto my bed and prayed that I could fall asleep quickly. Indeed I did and had a dream.

I was in a coach in Japan. I was sitting alone and the bus was full with other tour member. It was rather noisy because it was like we were waiting for member who was late. I started talking with the Malay couple seated behind me. Halfway talking, the member who was late and delaying our tour finally got into the bus. He sat right next to me. I turned and he was my late brother. I spanked his thigh and said, "Why the delay? Went to hot spring?". He was annoyed by the spanking and replied, "Others can be late, why can't I?!".

The next morning, I shared my dream with my parents. Coincidentally, my dad heard a voice calling out to my mom at about the same time too. Dad went on to say that my late brother had come home and is missing mom. So, he knocked and called out mie.

Christians aren't supposed to be superstitious, but what could possibly explain that?

Though he's gone back to the Lord for over 5 years, I still dream of him once/twice a year. First two years was more frequent. I am sure those of you who have lost someone close, have experience this before. But have you experienced something as vivid as that?
