To all friends and readers, HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014 and may all your wishes come true. As for me, I'm hoping for another blessed year with strength and determination to be a better person - wife, mother, daughter, sister and most of all, a best friend I could be. I also hope to accomplish all of my to-do-plan with success! May Allah grant me strength and time to share what I love to do on this blog.... Wish me luck and success! My wishes for all too! TQ all for the friendship!

Alhamdulillah dapat sahabat alam maya yg selalu ambil berat tentang Along dan selalu bertanya khabar. Along segan ler bila member nak kasi barang sebab Along pun takda kasi apa2. Banyak pula tu barang yg dia kasi... kain sut utk Along & Liana, buku doa, buku resipi, beg isi telekung dan purse utk Liana. Ada juga kuah kacang segera, cuma campur air panas terus je siap. Terima-kasih ya sahabat, semuga Allah panjangkan umur mu dgn kesihatan dan rezki dan juga persahabatan yg kekal antara kita.

Pecal ni Along buat minggu lepas lagi tapi hari ni baru berkesempatan nak ke udara. Along buat cucur udang, telur rebus, ayam goreng, timun, kcg pjg celur dan kangkung celur.... kuah kacang tu Along bancuh kaw2 sikit.... walaaa memang best!

Macam2 ada.....

Buku resipi pun ada

Kuah kacang segera

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri 2013

Assalamualaikum w.h.b kepada semua saudara-mara, sahabat-handai dan kenalan semua. Alhamdulillah, selesai sudah sebulan Ramadhan dan di hari lebaran yang mulia ini, saya menyusun sepuluh jari memohon ampun dan maaf jika ada salah, silap, dosa yang tidak di sedari atau tanpa di sengajakan. Maaf juga di pinta di atas kurang nya layanan dari HomeKreation kepada pengunjung2 dan sahabat2 yang di sayangi..... akhir2 ini masa amat terhad buat saya mengunjungi blog/facebook kekawan dan saya amat berharap tiada yang berkecil-hati. Sesungguh nya persahabatan anda semua amatlah saya hargai.

Salam sayang dari AlongRoz@HomeKreation buat semua dan

SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDIL FITRI

MAAF ZAHIR & BATIN

TQ for Wishing Me on My Birthday

AlongRiz & AngahRuz were missing.... wished they were here

To all relatives, friends and readers..... thank-you so much for all well wishes on my birthday sent through sms, facebooks, messages and emails! It was such a wonderful day and feel so blessed with your presence in my life!

Assalamualaikum wmh..... Syukur alhamdulillah atas kurniaan Allah dapat bernafas sehingga ke hari ini dengan nikmat kesihatan, rezeki dan kebahagiaan.... Terima-kasih tidak terhingga kepada sedara-mara dan kekawan yg menghantar ucapan dan doa melalui FB, SMS, emails & PMs.... Alhamdulillah tahun ini Along menyambut hari jadi dengan amat gembira dan ceria nya....!

Di sini Along abadikan kenangan Harijadi 2013.....

Kek Harijadi tahun ni Along buat sendiri.... khas untuk kami bertiga... Mama, Abah & Angah... all borned in Jun! Hubby gave us dinner treat at restaurant but didn't snap photo.... :(

Kat opis pula, my team surprised me with Secret Recipe Macadamia Cake which is my favourite! I was having a discussion with one team member when suddenly I was interrupted by Ramon saying there is something urgent... all sudden the whole team ambushed me with a cake, birthday song and well wishes! Was really happy with such appreciation by the team.... thanks so much!

On the very day.... Along terima parcel hadiah buku resipi dari seorang sahabat lama. Suka nya dapat hadiah buku resipi.... ada lebih 400 pelbagai jenis makanan.... insyaallah akan Along kongsikan bila mencuba nya nanti! TQ so much my lovely friend for your thought!

A bouquet of red roses was delivered by florist on the day..... came from my best lovely friend, Audrey from KL. thanks so much dear who never failed to send me flowers every year! Such a sweet thought!

Gemuk nya bunga ros ni....geram!

Below are e-flowers and cards sent by my lovely FB friends.... maceh & syukur amat atas persahabatan kita.... mmmmuah2!

Rezeki di Musim Bubuk

Yeeeey.... musim bubuk datang lagi! Selepas musim dabai, durian, cempedak & macam2 buah2an sekarang ni musim bubuk (udang geragau) pula.... alhamdulillah.... rezki murah, dapat dua bekas cencaluk from a kind friend! Homemade cencaluk memang the best... fresh! Maceh ya friend.... selera makan nasi malam tu!

Malas nak buat cencaluk sendiri sebab tak termakan nanti bila buat banyak2. Kalau ada siapa2 yg teringin nak buat cencaluk sendiri, boleh lah tengok kat sini ya.

Tengoklah betapa fresh nya cencaluk home-made.... nampak sekor2 udang bubuk tu.... kalau beli yg dalam botol kan dah hancur & masam. Homemade punya tak masin sangat & takda rasa masam pun, memang menyelerakan bila di campur dgn limau & cabai!

Ni pula full month baby gift from office mate.... takda kena mengena dgn tajuk tapi dapat ni same day dgn cencaluk. Thank-you SH and may your baby girl grow healthily!

Selamat Hari Raya 2012

Terima lah kad ucapan dari AlongRoz sekeluarga untuk kesemua kaum muslimin-musliman. Jika sudi gantungkan kat blog anda. Along mohon maaf jika ada salah-silap samada dari blog, facebook, email atau pun kenalan yang mengenali Along dari dekat. Halalkan apa yang terambil atau pun di beri.

Semuga anda semua bergembira di hari raya berkumpul sesama kaum keluarga dan menikmati juadah yang istimewa. Tapi mungkin bagi sesetengah orang akan bertambah sedih di hari raya kerana ketiadaan orang yang tersayang. Abah Along telah tiada selama 23 tahun dan baru2 ini kami baru sahaja kehilangan adinda tersayang pada 1hb Ogos lepas. Kelmarin pula dapat berita kehilangan seorang lagi saudara (abang kepada kakak ipar). Semuga roh2 mereka di cucuri rahmat di bulan yg mulia ini dan di tabahkan hati bagi yang di tinggalkan.

Akhir kata salam Aidil Fitri dan peluk sayang untuk semua!

TQ All for My Birthday Wishes

Alhamdulillah, yesterday was my 47th birthday and I had great time.... one of the best birthday celebration! First of all, syukur ke hadrat ilahi di kurniakan kesihatan, kebahagiaan, kejayaan, rezeki dan semuga lebih panjang umur untuk tingkatkan lebih ibadat selepas ni. 

This year, my birthday celebration is complete as AlongRiz is home during his summer vacation. The kids surprise me with a huge Secret Recipe birthday cake and gifts from their own pocket money. My hubby spoilt me with my chosen gifts - La Gourmet cast iron cooking set and I thought that was it.... on my birthday itself there was another one.... Habib diamond ear-rings! Hubby also gave a dinner treat at the newly opened Meritz Hotel (Grand Old Lady restaurant) to celebrate triple birthday celebration for me, himself & AngahRuz.

Birthday sensation will not be complete without wishes from relatives and friends. I was poured with more than 200 greetings from phone calls, sms, emails and facebook.... masyaallah... thanks so much to all for the wishes and greetings! I felt very overwhelmed! Some friends also bought me gifts - thanks to Mala for lovely silk tudung, Salviana for silk suits, Audrey for cute jewel box mailed from KL! 

Today I was surprised by my colleague in the office with birthday song along a Secret Recipe Cheesecake (thought they forgot yesterday but they actually waited until today because I was in meetings). It was a joint birthday celebration for me, Daphne & Joanna who were born in June. Thanks all, for your thought & treat despite extremely busy weeks during the peak period.

Special thanks to all my cyber friends for wishes and below greeting cards posted at Facebook, love ya all:

Birthday Cake & BBQ for Hubby

 Yesterday was my hubby's 50th birthday.... such a big and special milestone.... in few more years I'll be joining him into the 50's as well.... I thought the family should do something to celebrate this special number.... I took one day leave to buy him present and prepare something - the above cake and a family BBQ dinner....  We also plan to dine at a hotel next week for joint birthday celebration for three of us (including mine & AngahRuz's).

Can you guess what cake is it? Check out my next posting for the answer and also more photos of it. I don't think I made it beautifully but what matters it comes from my heart and hands..... my hubby appreciated it so much!

Kelmarin harijadi suami tersayang yg ke 50!! Angka yg sangat istimewa dan bermakna.... berbanyak syukur ke hadrat ilahi sebab suami Aong sihat sehingga umur ini. Semuga beliau terus sihat, panjang umur & di berkati Allah selalu & bahagia di samping kami sekeluarga.

Sempena hari itu, Along buatkan hubby kek harijadi bentuk hati sebagai tanda ikhlas kasih-sayang kami sekeluarga untuk nya. Walau pun comot, Along rasa sangat gembira dapat hadiahkan hubby kek dari hati & tangan Along sendiri..... Kekawan boleh teka tak kek apa tu.... tunggu entry seterusnya untuk lihat isi perut kek tu ya.....haha.

Juga ada makan2 malam ala BBQ..... Anak2 pun tumpang gembira berkelah di patio sambil main masak2. Alhamdulillah, selesai sudah satu tugas yg penting pada minggu ini....
