Hoooo...hoooo..hoooo...It`s our 16th Wedding Anniversary today !!!!
We officially got married on the 14th Feb 1991..and warmly celebrated during the reception
function on the 15th.
Phewwww...time runs so fast. But I`m still enjoying my marriage life as it is...happily and full
of affections and loves from people around. Maybe it is just an ordinary day..without big parties
and expensive gifts..Nevertheless, just by having him around enough to cheer my day.
I`m glad he accepts me the way I am..and I love him tooo..juuuust the way he is.
Really appreciate this true journey of life as we shall never be able to return to our pass, so..
let`s just enjoy it..appreciate every single thing we do and every single moment we share..love each other..need each other..cares for each other..coz if we don`t do it now..we might regret on the later days should we be seperated..
Ahaks....just to make the day a litte special than the rest of other day..I baked and decorated this cake for us.

CHEESE CAKE WITH STRAWBERRY MOUSSE

As requested by hubby, I made the previous Souffle Cheese Cake as the base but made this STRAWBERRY MOUSSE as the coating...yumm..yumm..sour sweetness of the strawberry flavour blends with the creamy taste of cheese.

Here`s the STRAWBERRY MOUSSE recipe :

ROASTED CHICKEN

We had this on its own and ate together with nasi goreng daging.....

I marinated the chicken for 2 hours with black pepper sauce, kasturi lime juice and honey...Then grill in the oven for 1 hr 20 mins, that`s it. Later we had it with blackpepper sauce and mayo..Not enough time to make other gravy.
