bibik oh bibik (i want my life back)

An update: My bibik won't be back till next week (tak tau bila).

So for all of y'all who wants to take me out for teh tarik, or donuts (be it JCo or Big Apple) or ones who've invited me for their lovely open houses - you guys will have to wait till maybe this coming weekend!

My ex H got this sms from her "Kepala imigresen masih lagi cuti. Hanya tunggu tandatangannya minggu hadapan". Why did she sms my ex H? Beats me.

Kepala imigresen? Kepala hotak kau! Ish. Ok lah I shouldn't swear (was that a swear word?). The bibik has been performing very well for the past two and a half years. Can be categorized as star performer la to date. So far this is the longest leave she's been on. BUT I AM GOING BONKERS HERE!!! Ok... take a deep breath, inhale... count to ten...exhale... imagine you're some place calm and green with a loved one... *sigh*

Thank god there's someone in Batam that will hunt for that Kepala Hotak Imigresen guy to get his signature ASAP. I have to thank my dad for that. Thank you. Again, you saved the day. And thank you for loaning your maid to me during bibik's absence. Although Yunus completely hates her, at least there's someone around for the cleaning up, laundry, and other horrifying home chores.
On another more exciting note - I cooked Mi Bandung Muar for a few friends on Wednesday. Thank you Ita and family, Hana, Arab and Ayu n Adian for dropping by. Was really stressed out and needed to cook something. As usual, whenever something stresses me out I'll take it out on the kitchen stove. Which is good. I think. BTW, this is not the open house ok. It's more of a Stressed Out Dinner Thingy which just happened to be in the raya month.

My Mi Bandung with tulang, it tasted way better the day after I even impressed myself :)

I have yet to set a date for a proper raya open house. Kena buat ke? I entertain you all every fortnight/month what at the apartment. Cheh.

And here are some mati kutu pics I took during third day raya of the three little gnomes:
Some days they'd just wanna kill each other...

Ali Potter all stiff for the photo shoot... Heheh

Ibu, why wait for bibik to come back? We work our plan la...

I am beginning to hate this raya thingy.

I also want your Mi Bandung Muar, Bariyani Gam, Laksa Johor, Kyros Lamb Kebab (two servings), Black Pepper Lamb Chop, Double Cheeseburger, 1901's Texas Ted with its bun and sausags soaked in a bottle of mustard, Satay Perut Tembusu, Kari Telur Ikan, Mee Kari Kerang besar-besar...

Eh, do you do all that?

Can! Sorry, the only things on your list that I can make are Mi Bandung, Laksa Johor, Super Duper Texas BBQ Cheeseburger, my version of the good ole lamb chop, and Mee Kari.

I know where you can get Perut Tembusu the uncooked version though. Hahah.

Mimin, nanti aku nak copy recipe Mee Bandung Muor kau itu. Nampak sangat delicous.

By the way, on Friday aku lalu area rumah kau, pastu Wazif cakap, "Mak, belilah rumah dekat rumah Ali ni."

Ni sure hari-hari dia nak pegi main game ngan Ali Potter nih.

meandmylife.. tu la.. hari tu je tersedap sikit mi bandung tu. takpe, next time eh, for a more planned raya open house. That one was more like makan2 je.

dnas, i used a secret ingredient (instant rempah from Muor)plus a it of rempah from Batu Pahat. yang lain2 tu i just improvised (tambah ginger and other additions) I can get the rempah for you though if you want. It's a CHEAT mi bandung. Huhuhu :(

Hazyr said...

Hehehe..

I know where you got that instant rempah from. My mom used to send it to me when I was in the UK whenever I have cravings for mee bandung and yet too lazy to make from scratch! :)

that rempah from moo-oar tu like a paste kan? my mum uses the same. org moo-oar la katakan.. i so miss laksa johor... *drool* 4 more weeks!! nanti i dtg makan k...

Unknown said...

Aduhhh...di mana kan ku cari ganti..

Oh tidak...I ni takda anak pun dah cukup horror la nak buat house chores.

all jazzed up said...

hazyr... tu la.. sekarang ada ke orang buat mee bandung from scratch? I wonder :)

eddy, macam ni I have to practice my laksa johor-making skills. the last time I did my own laksa johor when I was in the states! Bila dah balik malaysia I'm so pampered cuz my aunt makes killer laksa johor.

za, tu la... tiap2 hari i sms bibik's daughter to ask how the passport status is... sob sob...
