Salam, Kia Ora,

Today's breaking news :

- A major earthquake in Christchurch at 12.51pm has caused widespread damage and injury, with phone lines down throughout the city.
- Prime Minister John Key has confirmed at least 65 deaths in the Christchurch earthquake.  Around 200 people are still trapped in collapsed buildings.
- Police say multiple fatalities have been reported at several locations in the central city, including two buses crushed by falling buildings.


Alhamdullilah, we are not affected by the quake at all as we live in the north island.  We all down with flu instead :( hb must have caught the flu bug at work.  He was on medical leave for 2 days and he is feeling much better today.  Jannah must have caught the bug from him yesterday. 

She spewed twice last night and woke up a few times crying.  Luckily, she didn't do it  in bed....phew! ;).  She's a little feverish today but still her normal self.  One minute, she was lying down on the couch saying she wants to relax.  Another minute, you can see her dancing and singing copying the kid's programme on telly.  She seldom fall sick, alhamdullilah.  If I remember correctly, the last time she was sick was during winter last year, which was last June.

I'm only suffering runny nose and am coughing.  I am taking the opportunity to bed rest at the same time ahakkkss :D.

November last year, we planted chillies, tomatoes, lemon grass and a few other plants.  We planted 26 chilli plants but only 20 survived. Today, I'm gonna share some photos of the progress of our chilli plants.  The rest, some other time ok ;) enjoyyzzzz.........



Chilli Seedlings


Flowers and baby chillies growing.


Chillies are getting bigger and....

Patiently waiting for them to turn red before I pick them ;)

Nasib baik tempat anie tak kena quake tu kan...Nauzubillah.
Semoga Jannah cepat sembuh juga..

CS said...

Anie
Oh me oh my... masyaallah. Yat mesti suka kesana sbb the green chillies are in abundance over there.., hehe.

Syabas!

Anie said...

Kak Kasih,

Mmg ngeri tgk org2 yg injured dkt news, esp si Mat Salleh ni. Darah tu nampak lagi terserlah sbb warna kulit dorang...alhamdullilah kita selamat dkt sini.

Tenkiu for the doa kak, Jannah dah ok sikit....besok, lusa ok lah dia. InsyaAllah ;)

Anie said...

Chik Mi, sikit cukup ker buat cili jeruk...hehehez ;) Meh dtg sini kutip mana yg u berkenan.

Anie said...

Somuffins,

Tenkiu ;) I dah jemput Yat dtg collect cili. U tak nak ke? Meh lah dtg sini amik sikit. Boleh buat sambal ijo yg sodappp tu ahakkksss.....

Yat Maria said...

OMG!!!!! green cillis!!!! kasik ai seguni..cik som kasi 5 dah for that sambal..ahaksss...ishh babe...geram betul tgk cillis tu..mau rasanya ai capai to petik2..this kinda fresh cilli punya lah sedap kalo ratah gitu jer ngan that indian jemput2..masalodeh izit right? so pi petik seguni kasik ai tawww... :)

Unknown said...

Anie, teruk ke gempa tu...ramai juga yg mati tu..takut juga yer..alhamdulillah kalau family u selamat....btw suka nengok cili yg panjang gitu...patutlah u senyap jer rupanya bz menanam cili...ahaks!..nanti kalau kehabisan stok cili kat sini i gi singgah petik cili kat kebun u la...ngehx3

Anie said...

Yat,

Babe, u r a certified hoarder lah hehehez. Sampai seguni u nak cili ni and kasi CS cuma 5 batang aja :D sampai hati u....LOL!!!

I tgh tunggu dorang turn red sbb red chillies dkt sini susah cari and mahal giler. Kadang2 sekilo sampai $90 tak giler tu....kalau dkt kedai veggie 4 batang $3.50. Cili hijau senang sikit nak cari tapi takde yg panjang2 mcm kat garden kita. Talk abt masalodeh...adeehhh sodapppp tu :pppp

Anie said...

Nieza,

Setahu I gegaran earth quake ni tak sekuat on 4th September last yr. Tapi sbb quake nya shallow, sbb tu byk building yg tumbang. It was on w/day jadi ramai org yg tgh kerja trapped dkt those buildings.

Yikesss I baru senyap 2 hari jer...hahahaz lyn budak sakit ni. Jom singgah sini petik cili anytime, jgn lupa bwk kek belang2 yg sodappp tu eh :D

CS said...

Anie

Since Yat dah jadi my partner in crime maka I mengalahlah. 5 batang pun 5 lah :-)

Psst.. dalam kotak supposedly ada cili for Yat, you bubuh jer 5 packet benih cili. Bior dia tanam sendiwi, hehehezzz.. <- gelak your style

zarin said...

alhamdulillah u tk affected w the earthquake. read in my fren's fb, dia pun tk kena jugak but her nephew yg 5 hrs frm crishtchurh tu pun bergegar gegar rumah dia.
btw, besar gedabak chillies u tu ye! i baru tanam 2,3,4,5 pokok cili tp dlm pasu je...hopefully survive la dia n berbuah mcm you punya tuh...jelesnyaaa

zarin said...

penat i type td tetiba tkleh post comment sbb my internet line was down ..urgggh
btw, what i wanted to tell was, alhamdulillah u n family tk affected
and i jeles ngan your chilie's tu..besar gedabak betul

Anie said...

Somuffins,

Waaahhh baik hati u, sanggup mengalah dgn 5 batang cili compared to Yat yg nak hoards seguni...ishh tak adil kan dia ;) hehehez.

Takut pulak nanti I dah kirim benih cili, dia tak tanam. Dia simpan dlm pantry cupboard dia sampai lupa......*jgn marah arh yat* :pppppp

Anie said...

Zarin,

Tu arh, alhamdullilah kita dkt sini tak affected. Tgk dkt news, ishhh sedih dan horiffic betol :( kesian dgn mangsa2 dan yg sedang mengalami kesusasahan dkt sana.

InsyaAllah u punya pun mesti tumbuh cili hebat2. Tapi dlm pasu selalunya pokoknya tak sebesar tanam dlm ground. Yg penting puas hati lah tanam sendiri...hehehez

hani said...

wow...kak, saya nak sekilo cili organic..hahahhahaa...saya sgt jeles ok

Rima said...

Hope Janna is feeling better now.. glad u guys not affected..

I tengok ur chilli teringat akan garden ku yg lalu.. now i no longer can do any gardening.. nak tanam kat pasu can but tak shiok lah.. so now i hv to go out and buy em tu pun not as garing as the ones u plant sendiri..

Anie said...

Hani,

Meh lah dtg sini, boleh petik sendiri yg mana suka hehehez :D

Anie said...

Rima,

Jannah dah ok hari ni, dah start lompat2, jerit2, nangis2....haizz. She's a little blocked up. Better blocked than hingus meleleh2 lah...tak rela I melihatnya ahaksss :D :D

A few yrs back, I tanam dlm pasu...hasilnya tak sebanyak mcm this yr. This yr is the best yr for my chillies ;) Mmg betul garing and walaupun panjang2....pedas whoaaaa

ma'chiks said...

wah Anie berkebun ye...malu lah kami di sini 'malas'. angkat tabik kat u rajin menanam.

Maya Marisa said...

Anie dear,
