Happy Birthday Rrotrrot!

There's nothing I can get for a friend who's constantly giving and not interested in receiving. So the least that I can do is make her a birthday dinner and buy her a cake! Both of us have been craving for Nasi Lemak for a very long time so I decided to make Nasi Lemak for her birthday and made sambal from scratch (recipe courtesy of Omar Food Channel). Oh boy the sambal was so spicy that I couldn't take more than a bite but thank goodness Rrotrrot loves it. So looks like the sambal is a winner and I shall make more in the future to share it with my friends who misses sambal! :)

Ps: Birthday girl also cooked 2 dishes if not the rice plate wouldn't be complete!

Snowy Tahoe

Summer was late, so did fall and suddenly from summer hot days, it became winter overnight. It was forecasted to be raining over the weekend, which means it might snow in Tahoe. So we packed up our winter gear and drove to Tahoe for a day trip. The day started kinda gloomily but when we stopped for lunch, the day became so beautiful, it was so breathtaking.

If only I could write as well as I take photos. I'm so lucky to be able to take photos of my favorite subject matters: blue skies, puffy white clouds, horizon, sea and the pier.

Is this the road to Paradise, it sure looks like we're in Paradise.

One of these days, I'm going to stay at these waterfront cabins and enjoy the scenery all day long...

We were lucky that the sun came out once again when we arrived at Emerald Bay, we were just lamenting at how dull the water looked like on the way towards Emerald Bay.

Then the day turned gloomy again, and it snowed briefly. I always think that colored gloomy snowy days are gloomy but they look beautiful in black and white, don't you think so?

Then I met this little fler who was just absolutely elated to be able to run on fresh snow of the season!

What does this remind you off? A thriller movie? Some of the cabins were covered in amazing looking icicles but I didn't stop to take photos of them and only got these.

 Tahoe, I'm definitely coming back for more!
