Final of programme "Adik-adikku" - season 2

Watched the final of the first season, and I was impressed by the confidence shown by the kids, Alhamdulillah, was glad to see such programmes on TV.

For the second season, even though I don't follow from the beginning, I managed to catch some "diaries" this past few days, I enjoyed watching previous finalists hosting it, so cute. :-) .

I'm looking forward to watch the final tonight, all the best to 7 of them. But as one "murabbi" said..winning is not the main agenda, its what to become of these kids in the future that's more important.

The final will be shown "live" on TV1 (here)

or can be watched online (here)

Scooby Doooo.

My all time favourite cartoon...

hihihihihihi..

(Scooby Doo Intro)

Over the course of Scooby-Doo's various spin-offs, various relatives of Scooby were introduced:

* Scrappy-Doo: Scooby's young nephew (and son of Scooby's sister Ruby-Doo), Scrappy is the bravest of Scooby's relatives. Scrappy became a recurring character in the Scooby-Doo series beginning in 1979, and was noted for being quite headstrong and always wanting to face off in a fight against the various villains (unlike his uncle). Scooby and Shaggy were present at Scrappy's birth.

* Yabba-Doo: According to Scrappy and Yabba-Doo Yabba is Scooby's brother, a white dog owned by Deputy Dusty in the American southwest. Unlike Scooby, Yabba is brave. Unlike Scooby's and Scrappy's, his typical custom catch-phrase at the end is "Yippity-Yabbity-Doooo!!!" (and not "Yabba-Dabba-Doo!", presumably due to another Hanna-Barbera character's usage of that phrase).

* Scooby-Dum: Scooby's cousin (according to Shaggy in "Headless Horeseman of Hallowen), a blue-grey dog. A Mortimer Snerd-esque dog who longed to be a detective. Was rather dimwitted (he'd keep looking for clues even after the mystery was solved.

* Scooby-Dee: Scooby's distant cousin, a white dog. Spoke with a Southern accent, and was an actress.

* Dooby-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a singer. He is one of Scooby's few relatives to have hair on his head. Only appeared in "The 'Dooby Dooby Doo' Ado".

* Momsy and Dada Doo: Scooby's parents.

* Whoopsy-Doo: Scooby's cousin, a clown. Owned by Shaggy (Norville)'s uncle, Gaggy Rogers.

* Ruby-Doo: Scooby's sister, and mother of Scrappy-Doo.

* Skippy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Highly intelligent; he wears glasses.

* Howdy-Doo: Scooby's brother. Enjoyed reading Supermarket tabloid newspapers. He appears to become a redhead.

* Horton-Doo: Scooby's uncle. Was interested in monsters and science.

* Dixie-Doo: Scooby's cousin and the pet of Betty Lou, Shaggy's Southern cousin.

* Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's grandfather.

* Great-Grandpa Scooby: Scooby's great-grandfather.

* Yankee-Doodle-Doo: Scooby's ancestor. Not much is known about him. He appears to be a pilgrim.

* Dumper Scoots: A confused lion that thinks he is a dog. Having the same speech pattern as Scooby-Doo, he believes he is Scooby's cousin.

Best Wan's : Mee Rebus

I was relaxing and watching TV on Saturday and caught Chef Wan's (arguably Malaysia's well known chef) show on AFC and he was making the following dish.

From the AFC web :

Mee Rebus

"Chef Wan prepares the ‘Wan’ family recipe for Mee Rebus. Chef Wan has been cooking this delicious recipe since he was a young boy helping out at the family food stall and he shares the secrets to this, Wan’s favourite dish."

Best Wan! - Recipe for Mee Rebus

It looked yummy and so on Sunday, based on what I'd seen in his video, I tried to make it..





but whilst it was simmering, I switched on my laptop just to make sure that I made it the right way...

mmm...almost, almost...

I forgot the soy bean paste (a.k.a taucu)! Luckily could buy it from the little shop nearby...hehehe..

and here it is :

Not bad for a first attempt, with not enough garnishing ingredients.

But will need to improve on my next attempt as when mak got to know about this, she asked me to make it for her during my next trip back...

she has such confidence in me...

hehehe..

:-)

NCIS

Ever since the AFC channel changed my favorite cooking program between 5pm to 6pm, I accidently found a channel showing NCIS..

and since then I'm hooked on d series.

(source : YouTube)

so most days now after work, I'd tuned in to watch it

..and my favorite character is Abby!

(source : YouTube)

In a way, its good that I don't watch the cooking program too much, as I would normally end up in the kitchen, cooking..



and burst my diet..haha..

But last night, I tried to make some oat cookies..and as usual, didn't really follow the recipe, and the first batch of the cookies turned up like this :

[Bit soft and "fragile" ~ easily broken into small pieces :-)]

So before baking the second batch, I added one egg (that was not mentioned in the recipe), and it turned out better, thou burnt a little bit (too long in the oven)..hehehe..

Third batch...n much better (I think!)

Now I need to figure out how to make it more crunchy..
