The Dotted Lines - 1st Bufday celebration

It just happened that I thought it will be great if I can have this small celebration for my blog's 1st year bufday.  Obvoiusly my life hasn't change much but the way I thought of it now has changed. I still remember how uncertain I was to get myself involved in this blogging world... but in the end... I just have a go with it.. no turning back..and will keep going...Insya Allah ... I am still learning and improving here and there but at least I gave myself enough space to think and write what's came to my mind.

and by end of year 1 

I noticed that....

I love to write about my kiddos...

I love to write about places I go

I love to share about any events I attended as a remembrance

I love to share what I normally cook at home

I love to share about eating places which I found interesting

*

*

and that's about it....

it could be nothing special to others

but it is really means a lot to me

special in every moments

special in its own ways...

never ever thought of hurting others or thinking to show off

sorry if someone felt that way

but this is my space...

and to me The Dotted Lines is just a....

... place to make me laugh and giggle

.... place to make me thought

.... place to connect with friends in virtual world

..... place that I learned and get valuable knowledge...

.... place where I do buy and sell....

and my hope for the coming year

I am not drain out of ideas to share

I am bless with spare time to write

increase the numbers of readers

and not leaving someone's dropping their footproof here empty handed 

without taking something.....

Something which you can't always see and touch

but

something intangible like ideas, memories, happiness, thought etc

so again

thanks for the endless support

Happy 1st birthday

Back to the mini celebration that we had

*

*

In the making of my Dots cake...

flavour is secondary, I was looking for the plain white cakes and my idea is to collaborate with Secret Recipe in decorating my cake... so end up chosing this Macademia and I provide the M&M's to be sticked on the cakes... they will do the rest

*

*

*

*

and here we are

My cake with DOTS

(though the chocolate have melted but it was still ok by the time the candle blowing session took place)

with friends around

*
for this... and actually for other reason... I got this special gift...

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
I'm speechless.. and all I can say.. Thank you...

Grand Prix 2011

Started to feel the heat already? what heat? The Grand Prix 2011 which going to be held next week.. 8-10 April 2011. I have never gone this far as far as Grand Prix is concern... there was this competition going around at my workplace... the contest was easy .. you were only required to answer 3 tricky questions and you got a chance to win a ticket+++ to this grand world motorsport event.. I couldn't be bothered to all this... not even interested to attempt the questions ..

Suddenly, I was invited to be an independent observer replacing Niz in selecting the winners for this competition... 700 hundreds tickets to be won and this was it... the real experience in big event organised...

*
*
*

After 3 hours of serious work...finally everything settled and my part is to put down the final endorsement....

Congratulations

to all 700 hundreds winners especially to my friends who have been selected.... Please realise that you are so lucky to won not just the Grand stand tickets but it will be more than that... more than what you imagine and one thing for sure you are going to have a great experience and much fun awaiting you ...

and

Congratulations

to all the committed comittees member. Wishing you all the best for the upcoming event.

Mazlinda's newborn

Congratulations 

to the proud Mummy (Linda) and Daddy(Yusri) for your newborn baby

Putera Ali

sound asleep through out our visit

Good boy...

Treasure Hunter's Picnic - Air Terjun Lepoh

The most awaiting weekend has finally come. My special thanks to friends who has start and stuck with this plan. Actually, this is retreat for the "tresure hunters" family gateway. Our regular team for treasure hunts who has gone through the sweet and sour moment together. So we guess, picnic would be the best for this family get together and farewell to one of us... where could this be? This spot is known as Air Terjun Lepoh. About 40 minutes drive from Shah Alam... I don't know how to descibe how happy I am... and I am really not sure whether I can write to make you feel the real happiness we've been through.

Collectively, brought some food to our picnic spot. We don't called picnic a picnic without a barbeque...luckily we have Fazly who has voluntarily marinated chicken, lamb, sausages, fish and cuttlefish and all these marinated "thing" taste special because of the "Tupperware" fridgemate effect.

One thing bad about picnic is you are there to do nothing else except for eating.. and it's even worst because you keep on eating and eating...non stop munching.. even the rain stop.. your appetite tend to increase trmendously when you smell the bbq aroma. Everything, freshly grilled and this is just an example.

Homemade garlic bread and Swiss Brown Mushroom Soup

from Dapur Magika Kak Lin

Special Nasi Lemak from Bandar Kinrara

established since 1960's

(brought by Niz)

and a lovely Red Velvet Cuppies
