366. Dream

Hubby & me have been dreaming to get a second car...no, no, not a big car...only this...


Perodua Viva Elite 1000cc but color should be Pearl Jade








He he...don't get excited, the above isn't ours but one in the car showroom ok?

I told hubby I'd STILL like to drive a small car, with power steering. 1000cc would be good as petrol is expensive and only one of us is working.

I think Viva Elite looks cute with sports rims :)


What do you think?

365. Umai and a Simple Soup

My SIL brought back a lot of fresh 'Ikan Tenggiri' (Mackerel) which he caught while he was offshore in the oil rig. So I made 'Umai Ikan Tenggiri' .


Have you ever tried it?

'Umai' is also called 'Kerabu' because the flesh of the fish is not cooked, everything is raw put together.


Umai Ikan Tenggiri



Unlike my 'Umai Ikan Yu' in my previous post, this time I decided to add some 'Asam Paya' (Asam Rumbia) to the preparation.

Asam Paya (Asam Rumbia)


Preparation :-

1. Cut flesh of Ikan Tenggiri into small pieces, then clean over running water then drip dry in a sieve.

2. Cut 15 of those Asam Paya throwing away the skin & seeds.

3. Pound 4 - 5 big red chillies.

4. Slice thinly 3 " ginger, 5 - 6 small red shallots and 5 garlic.

5. In a big bowl, mix well items 1, 2, 3 & 4.

6. Cut 20 - 25 limau kasturi ( local lime) into halves and squeezed the juice into the bowl.

7. Add 2 tablespoons of vinegar.

8. Add salt and a little ajinomoto.

9. Mix well and taste. It should be more sourish and salt to taste.

10. Keep refrigerated.


Next is such a simple dish. I have some 'Salai' (smoked) anchovies(ikan bilis) in the fridge and one small pineapple.

So I cooked a soup out of these two.


Sup Bilis Salai dengan Nenas



Preparation :-

1. Boil half a liter water in a pot.

2. Skin and slice the pineapple.

3. 8 Ikan bilis salai (smoked anchovies) OR you can use smoked 'Ikan Tahai'.

4. When the water boils, add in item 2 & 3.

5. Add in grounded 3 small shallots, 2 garlic & 2 big red chillies.

6. Add salt and ajinomoto to taste.

7. Serve hot with rice.


Easy?

Happy trying and a lovely weekend :)

364. Brisk Walk at Outdoor Stadium

Yesterday evening around 4pm, hubby said to me,' Come with me to the Stadium, I jogged and you can brisk walk. Do slowly.'

So I thought why not, even though still feeling not so well with this cough and flu I do need some fresh air.

So we went. Biking to the Outdoor Stadium Miri on his Modenas clumsy bike he he...

It was the first time after a long time I had been to the Outdoor Stadium. Usually if both of us did go, hubby will leave me to brisk walk at the City fan while he proceeds to the Stadium. He said he prefers going there for his jog. So this time I decided to follow him there.

It's not so bad brisk walking there. I like the atmosphere, not too many people and not too much noise or chatters from other people.

We just do our own thing. And no one bothers what the other person is doing.

I think not many people go there because the public aren't sure if the Stadium is for the public to use. Funny eh? :)

I saw many Secondary students doing their school sport activities there, like training the 100 meters run, high jump or shot put.

I said to myself,' This is great. These students are such good example to those students who spend their time 'lepak sana sini.'

Anyway, back to me, I managed to brisk walked 3 rounds the track while hubby jogged. After finished with brisk walking I took some pictures to share with you all.

Outdoor Stadium Miri . At the bottom of this picture (which you ain't able to see) is the entrance into the stadium.

Next looking CLOCKWISE ...

The tracks....

This is the Grand Stand

Some seatings...badly need of re painting

He he...guess who is jogging ? :)



Finished with his 6 rounds he stopped to do some sit ups



We were there until 530pm. When we were leaving there were some young men who arrived to play football.

Next to this Outdoor Stadium lies the Indoor Stadium Miri, which is newer and more frequent by people because activities like concerts, IT roadshows etc., are held there.

Nowadays this Outdoor Stadium are mostly used by schools to hold school sports or other school activities.

Still, a re painting of the Outdoor Stadium would be good and moral lifting :)

Cheerio.
