Blog 5 ~ When was the Last Time you did some thing for the First Time

hmm....let me think...o ya, now i remember. it was on the next day after we got the yeast (sasad) from my SIL in tambunan :) 2nd sunday of march. hari itu dalam sejarah. i got  to experience on how to make rice wine (tapai) or in bahasa dusun 'mangasi'. all this while, i only have the chance to drink the end product - tapai. sometimes the tapai taste so sedap but sometime i don't like the taste. one drink is enough. but if the tapai is so good, i can ask for it again & again & again.. haha..no la! 2 kali teguk pun cukup suda kalau sa :)

ok, berbalik kepada cerita first time. ya, that's my first time buat tapai :) first thing first, mesti masak beras kampung. they said if masak the beras use kayu api lagi sedap tu tapai. but di bandar ni susah suda ba mo cari kayu api. so, we masak use modern style :) use rice cooker yg besar (since the beras kampung so banyak).  after masak, kasi tabur the nasi on the tikar to cool the nasi.in the meanwhile, the sasad were crushed to mix with the rice later.

the little neighbour ~ pearl a.k.a popoi

it's time to mix the sasad with the rice

after mixing were done, the rice were filled in the tajau. actually, i just do the mixing part & filling two tajaus of rice wine :) it was tiring but fun day for me coz this is the first time i ever involved in a tapai making process. hehehe...... oh ya, ada juga petua if want to make a good tapai ni. one must put daun langsat at the bottom of the tajau. inside the tajau must put chili & arang (above the rice). i think la :) after all, it was my first time ba....

tapai bagus ba! ^_^

** no picture of me doing the mixing part coz no pro photographer available. my darling pun sibuk buat tapai..uhuuu.. **

Blog 4 ~ Idea of A Perfect Date

for me....the idea of a perfect date would be

seriously, i don't have any idea of the Perfect Date. all i can think about is road trip with love one :) because i'm an outgoing person, love nature & exploring new places. dulu2 time dating with my darling, we like to go on road trip. nasib baik masa dia muda2 dulu selalu jalan2 but of course for work trip la :) at least he know whereabout even the pedalaman punya jalanan. hehe. a bit tired la for a perfect date. haha! but i like it. the last road trip we did was to tambunan. kira perfect date juga tu coz we have fun pigi tengo kebun *wink wink* & ambil sasad to do the tapai for our wedding. well, everybody has their own idea of perfect date & this is my idea of a perfect date :). 


next blog challenge coming up!

Blog 3 ~ Your Recent Activity

last weekend (sunday), i've tried to finish the 1000 pieces jigsaw puzzle which ended me having a bad headache + sakit belakang kerana telampau duduk. my niece tried to help me but she also cannot tahan. so, i just continue doing the puzzle until i cannot tahan also @_@

no picture were taken during susun-susun puzzle. mesti concentrate mah! i'm so eager to finish the jigsaw puzzle, but it's getting dark already. since i'm doing that puzzle at my darling's house, i don't want to stay so late there. so, sa kasi simpan dia in the room (manatau ada org tulung kasi siap...yay! ~ talking abt paranormal activity here.. hehehe).

ba, will update the finish product la nti. looking forward for the weekend! o ya, forgot to tell about the picture of the jigsaw kan...it's the dalmation dogs. 101 of them  gathering at the fireplace. cute eh? can't wait to see the end result!
