What Have I Been Doing? Part 1

Ok enough of the questions....Where have I Been? What I am Doing??

Its been 6 weeks since I landed myself in this land of dreams...United States of America. Leaving behind family and friends and importantly Malaysia - the country that I grew up in. But I was excited as this is the opportunity for me to start my life as wife to my hubby. We have been leaving apart since we met and married.

The big question that my friends and collegues kept asking me before I left is "What am I going to do?" Honestly, I was just so swarmed with work, handovers, family gatherings, taking my hubby here and there (my hubby came back to Malaysia for 2 weeks), friends gatherings etc that I really did not think at all what I was going to do. All I know is that I want to get home to Dallas and relax.

Well, relax I did and I could not believe that 6 weeks have passed and I am still relaxing and enjoying every minute of it. Every time I call back, on emails or msn with family and friends....same question - what have I been doing?

So here I am going to show a sneak peak to my life in Dallas. Believe or not....Part 1 of "What I Have Been Doing? COOKING. Terrible isn't it. Loving every minute of it :)

Her are my Cooking Escapades - don't drool.....

Ok...ok, I do cook normal simple everyday food...showing off my culinary skills to my hubby, I try but I am running out of ideas :)
