We Tell Sweet Stories

2012-01-27T08:40:00.001-08:00

Salam Semua...I have gone through the hardest, the longest and the saddest time in life..it is small test from Allah Swt and we are redho. As human in a time like this no matter how strong we are,we easily break,only doa to Allah and support from families and friends keep us solid and going.

Uwan had gone through a very high risk operation, it was so sudden,Friday morning she was at home and at 10.30 at night she was already in operation theatre..i had to make the hardest decision, she had serious and fatal intestinal obstruction,according to the doctor if operation is not perform immediately she might not make it and if i send her for operation we have to be ready with the worst.It was the hardest signature i had to endorse in my entire life,it was saddest moment looking at uwan old face on the bed outside the operation theatre..i held her hand,told her everything is in Allah's hand "dari Allah kita datang,pada Allah kita kembali" and sesungguhnya minta lah kepada Allah dengan sesungguh hati seolah-olah Allah dekat seperti urat nadi di leher kita...she was so weak..i told her to be strong as Tia and Mia are waiting for her at home,i kissed her forehead and sent her in. It was the longest night,she went in at 10.30 and at 2.00 am she stilled not out,i felt like hiding in a hole...at that time i prayed so hard..only Allah knows what was in my heart.

She came out from the OT,she's stilled breathing and our Alhamduillah is non stop like a heartbeat in our body.She was doing great on the 1st and 2nd day but 3,4 and 5 th days were the hardest. Uwan is a strong lady,she reminded us many times that she is old and Allah has granted her 88 years of life,if the time comes she asked us not to cry but to remind her of Allah The Greatest so that she can go in peace...she even taught us again and again to ajar her mengucap,she said if she in pain must remind her to be sabar,Allah member kesakitan kerana sayangkan kita.

For the past 6 days my morning was filled with tears,everything in the house reminds me of her..i feel that if i can trade anything in this world.. i will do it for her without hesitation..how i wish she is sitting again at the my breakfast table.Listening to Maher Zain "InsyAllah' in the car every subuh when commuting from ICU to my house was a sad times..tears came down non stop.I never imagine that one day the hot water counter at 711 will be very useful for me,at 6.00 or 5.30 am i will be standing there mixing tea or coffee for me and my sister.

Today is the 7th day,Uwan is stilled warded she has shown good improvement..she is stilled very weak but recovering...tiap kejadian ada hikmah..apa pun yang akan berlaku di masa depan kita redho tapi sebagai hamba yang lemah kita tak putus meminta..dan kami meminta supaya diberi peluang bersama Uwan lagi..doakan lah Uwan supaya sembuh dengan segera dan dapat pulang ke rumah..Amin.

Ada masa setelah Uwan sembuh saya akan berkongsi perbagai pengalaman di tempuh semasa kejadian ini...sungguh menakjubkan.Terima kasih pada yang mendoa kan di FB and jugak di sini.Salam.

Beautiful Things and Places.

2012-01-18T20:50:00.000-08:00

Salamm;);) Hari ni pun saya tak sempat berborak dengan semua orang lagi:( So sorry..last night melawat SIL in yang sakit di Ampang Puteri,balik pun lewat.Pagi ni di office aduhhh macam2..It is not easy to handle people especially when they are all ladies!Kena breath in breath out banyak2..otherwise you ll be like jack in a box,jumping non stop.So i need to look at beautiful things and talk about topic i love most..a good way to distress for me;):) Writing is an escapism..you can be anywhere you like;)

Before that I would love to thank my "Invisible sisters at heart" for introducing Heather Bullard website to me..i love her website especially the awesome Chicken Coop @ Reban Ayam..jom tengok reban ayam ni semua..they are really gorgeous..rasa nak duduk sendiri:):)

All pictures are courtesy of Google except a few last ones.

Look at this gorgeous Chicken Coop...cantiknya kan.

It can pass as a cubby house..dont feel like letting chickens to go inside there..hee..hee

This is another awesome chickencoop..so lucky Miss Turkey Lurkey inside there;):)

This is Heather Bullard House..so cantik no wonder her Chicken Coop pun cantik.

Her patio is to die for..very cosy and sweet.

Provence- one of her favourite place..mine too but yet to have the opportunity to guling2 here..been to France but yet to explore Provence.

Love her pieces..once i have similar cups..tak tau now pergi mana.

Love her ideas too;);)

Finally..this is a another Chicken Coop to drool for..too much to handle lah..hee..heee

To those yang tanya about Hummus;) as Salmi mentioned,Hummus is made form chickpeas..i just elaborate a lil bit okay:)

Hummus and Baba Ghanoush.

Hummus is an Arabic word of 'chickpeas'..the simplest recipe i know for hummus is to boil chickpeas until soft,add a cup of canned chickpeas ( i love waitrose brand,..sedap dan lemak), add tahini (tahini is sesame seeds paste- you have to soak the sesame seeds for one night or more,let the kernel surface,separate it and grind the seed.),olive oil,garlic paste and lemon..semua blend and campur.On kandungan calory pulak from what i read if you eat the fresh one from restaurant or homemade the calory/fat is minimal,the culprit is if you buy the readymade ones.Since Hummus is from Legumes(chickpeas) it is good for diet as it can make you feel full for long.

Since kita bercakap pasal 'chick' ..ni haaa rupa 'chickpeas' kalau yang tak pernah tengok..masa kecik2 dulu panggil 'kacang putih' sangat suka makan kalau orang india jual dalam paper cone;)

This is Baba Ghanaoush)..nama macam tak boleh bayang ingredients dia kan..

Made from eggplants yang di grill dan lenyek halus..ingredient lain macam Hummus jugak:) Ishhh lapaq nasi Arab pulak dah;):)

Then ada a few tanya pasal travelling..i have answered one email on Sydney yesterday,,wish Ezlin a happy and wonderful trip to Sydney..hope she finally book at The Pacific@Balmain:):)

Somebody asked about Austria..is it a nice country to visit? I ve been to Austria,lama jugak dulu 2006 sebelum pregant with TiaMia;):) To me Austria is a very nice country,cantik,bersih dan semua orang berdisplin.Dulu we masuk Austria as a "pintu' untuk me and husband travel to Italy..masa itu kira2 nak travel Italy from Frankfurt ke..from France ke..then we made research and found that Austria is the nearest to Italy, boleh naik train from Vienna to Venice. We stayed in Vienna for 4 days 3 nights which turned out to be tak cukup:) Salzburg is too beautiful..we joined a local tour from Vienna naik bus to Salzburg...sepanjang perjalanan so cantik..nampak farmhouse yang ada balcony kayu yang berukir..padang pulak penuh dengan sef flowers yang kuning..macam dalam dream.We stopped for hot drink,pastry and soup at the highway..the cafe was like a 5 stars hotel..it was so wonderful to sit by a misty window looking at field fulled with blooms while sipping your hot chocolate.Bila bus dah dekat Salzburg we lalu saltlake,the tour guide asked us to turne our heads and look at the back the view was just awesome..the resorts at the hilly side,houses by the lake,people in their snow gear..it was like dream comes true..we hold hands and said 'one day we shall stay at one of the house by the saltlake"..heee..heeee..So pergi lah visit Austria..sangat awesome;);)

I can't locate many pictures in Austria..most of the pictures stored dalam old pc..bila kena petir dulu banyak gambar gone;(;( tu lah sometimes still good to print our photos.

The classic and romantic Vienna-masa ni kita orang atas bus..my hb masa ni boleh tertidur..penat sangat agakya..tak boleh lah naik kereta kuda ni ha..

I memang suka mana2 park pun pun..so The Rathaus Park ni so cantik to me.

We spent one whole day merayau keliling park and the city..dah tu makan brocolli balls at thier MC Donald..kat sini tak ada kan..sangat sedap..dia buat brocolli tu macam nugget bulat..tengah ada melted cheese...me kalau pasal makan memang boleh describe in details:)

In Vienna we stayed at the boutique hotel..macam apartment style..cosy and nice..the croissant for breakafst was one of the best yang i pernah makan.

Salzburg pulak sangat cantik..semuanya macam dreamy ..lorong2 pun sangat awesome;):)..tu lah cerita Austria saya:):)

Ni stock frozen food yang datang semalam..ada yang email tanya mana saya beli beefstrips tu..actually saya beli dari FAMA/PRIMA yang datang office..susah nak cari kat kedai..this is for export market.

Kalau nak cari kat kedai ini lah contoh chicken rolls yang saya beli semalam..500gm for RM17.50.

Punya sibuk lipstick habis sampai ke 'titisan darah terakhir'..heee..hee semalam pergi BB beli sekali dua sebab sangat susah dapat stock colour yang saya suka ni..

Ni jer satu-satunya colour yang boleh masuk bibir saya "Tulle"..sangat suka.

Banyak veges dalam fridge, hari ni breakfast buat salad bawak datang office..terlebih lah serbuk pepper..panasssss..ada yang tanya apa jenis cheese saya guna..untuk makan dengan roti atau salad ..saya beli ajer brand "Bega" atau apa2 pun yang jenis cheddar block.Senang boleh grate atau dice ikut kesukaan.

hari ni ada pasar tani lagi di office..so saya pun stock lemon banyak2:) Julie sedap lemonade kan..lontong dah habis lah..nanti buat kita tunjuk kat Julie buat drooling2 ya;);)

Bought these for tomorrow's breakfast..pada yang tanya..memang breakfast saya heavy..ada dua version..satu light satu heavy..kalau kita menjaga ibu yang telah tua,memang lah kena sediakan yang suka di makannya..kalau scramble eggs or cereal saja kesian lah dia..

Ini gambar last night..melawat my SIL at AP,uwan, saya tapaukan nasi,..sebab tak selera nak makan sebelum pergi..so Uwan pun makan kat Hospital..we doakan Mashik Tia Mia semoga cepat sembuh.Amin.

Darlings you left your Porsche in my office!

2012-01-17T01:20:00.000-08:00

Salammm:):) Chit chat next time ya..so tired today(:

Actually tired since yesterday..Actual achievement against Key Performance Indicator (KPI) is eating and killing me!!The problem is; like almost every two years they will change the people in charged of KPI, so new people has new style..tak cukup justify dengan sentences kena tunjuk evidence,kena buat chart..my goodness..and i have to fight for it as i am doing it for the department...ramai yang berharap nak dapat bonus maximum..so we just try our best okay .Bila balik rumah cerita my hb senyum2, he is on the other side of the table,in his office his the one setting target for everybody,he's in charged of KPI..gerammm:)

Anyway life goes on..Syukur should never be witheld:)

He..hee..somebody left her "pink porsche" at my office from the last visit..tak nak ambik balik ke? nanti nak pergi party Barbie and Kent kan:);)

Ni kerja budak dua ni malam tadi..they never get tired of drawing;) Me on the other hand last night was knocked out really early..i succumbed to bed by 9.00:(:( i think due to terlebih makan..i cant take too much food nowadays..i get tired easily after that:(:( yesterday i ate lontong for breakfast,nasi with kurma ayam,sotong and few other things for lunch and dinner i had laksa and a bit of noodles soup..too much isn't it?..hee..hee actually every month before the 'prayer rest day" macam ni lah..always like that..ada ke orang kuat makan during masa macam ni jugak;);)

And masa pergi beli noodles soup/laksa ni jugak dapat keinsafan;) The kakak yang jual tu buat gerai "mobile' tepi jalan tu aja. me berenti nak beli goreng pisang for uwan..tengok tak de.dia terus sapa nak beli mee dia tak..kesian terus lah order 4 bungkus for everybody in the house. And duduk tunggu..kakak ni very bubbly,good mood sepanjang masa tu,walaupun nampak penat.,..macam2 lah dia cerita,habis lah kisah anak2 dara yang lalu tu dia cerita kat i..tapi tak lah dalam bentuk menghina. Dia cerita anak2 sekarang,masa very pack nak ngaji,sekolah agama etc..so dia cakap anak dia after sekolah agama terus ajer mengaji sebab nanti kalau balik rumah dulu penat and tak nak pergi lagi dah..she said " arwah suami akak dulu cakap- " Ani nanti kau hantar anak ngaji mesti terus dari sekolah agama..etc..etc.." So in my heart was thinking susah kakak ni carik rezki anak semua tak lepas lagi,berjual kat tepi jalan kadang2 MPPJ datang angkut barang..but still she is very happy&bubbly..cerita dia tu tak der merungut kesusahan dia pun..hmmm me pun insaf lah..kita yang berkerja dalam air cond,naik kereta,lunch time ke Mall meninjau handbags,perfumes..sangat lah beruntung..itu pun kalau ada problem meroyan-royan..just imagine her..pukul berapa dia bangun,siapkan untuk semua..duduk tepi jalan berdebu..balik rumah nanti tak semestinya settle mesti kena siapkan untuk esok hari.

Orang perempuan sangat kuat actually..samada suri sepenuh masa atau berkerja sama saja..kita berjuang dalam cara kita sendiri.Dari pagi membuka mata hingga lah kita lena di katil kita tak putus2 buat kerja..infact orang perempuan sebelum menghembuskan nafas terakhir pun pun masih fikirkan keluarga..kebanyakannya memberi pesanan pada suami supaya menjaga anak2 dengan baik. Orang lelaki on the other hand memang dah sifatnya dari lahir "tak berapa nak cerdik" dari segi membantu orang perempuan ni..bukan semua tapi kebanyakannya..beruntung lah kalau dapat semua yang "cerdik dari segala segi";):)..Jangan lah marah orang lelaki dengan saya..sebab orang lelaki bak kata dia orang cerdik tu dah pergi pada muscle-muscle tu semua..tapi tu kalau yang ada muscle kalau tak der..haaa jawab..cerdik pergi mana? The only solution is " habaq kat telinga dia orang tu kuat-kuat!!!!!..Darlingggg..... i penat ni kat dapur ni..cuba you ambik pensil and kertas you tulis apa kerja i buat and apa kerja you buat dari pagi tadi..i bangun buat breakfast,mandikan budak,suapkan budak,hidangkan breakfast,now dah siap masak lunch..dah siap mengemas store,dah siap menggubah bunga,.dah siap bersihkan garden..youuuuu..cuba tulis..dari pagi 'saya makan,baca suratkhabar tengok tv....tengok tv,tengok tv,tengok tv..." my hb kalau too much i buat macam ni..dia pun terus cakap "ye lah i hopeless..." tapi he took it in a good spirit and kejap lepas tu dia terpacak kat garden habis berbau satu taman perumahan di semburnya racun serangga kat segala pokok! So ladies jangan menjeruk rasa..cuma jeruk limau,mangga atau cili ajer ye..let it out at their ears..kuat-kuatttt!!.

Habis my merapu berbalik pada cerita kakak tadi..kadang2 my perasaan pun lemah..masalah sikit pun effect banyak benda..bukan kuat sentiasa..manusia kan..so kena melihat banyak pada kurang..sebab yang kurang itu semangatnya sangat kuat..maka belajar lah satu dua dari nya.InsyAllah;)

and you two..heppp..dont tonggeng-tonggeng too much okehhhh....

My routine..bangun pagi after dah turun bawah masuk dapur minum dulu..now tekak tak berapa sihat minum lah satu biji lemon dulu.

A chinese friend of mine told me this petua..dont mix the juice with water..if you cannot stand the sourness just add a lil bit of salt.. i found it very sedap lah..i like it..

After dah keluarkan semua barang nak buat breakfast..keluar bawakkan Ribbon and Cottontail celery.. ni pun i rasa sangat mendamaikan..i feel so banyak kehidupan around me and meriah;))

This morning we had bee hoon goreng..

panas2 makan with sambal kicap sangat sedap.

lepas masak jenguk Heni at her "department"..tak ada..mesti tak habis lagi di garden..bersihkan tempat rabbit barangkali..nowadays dia berebut-rebut nak bersihkan kandang tu dari me;)).This how i "latih" my maid..she senior a bit so i tak kuasa nak marah2 or berleter selalu..so mana kerja yang sepatutnya dia buat dulu tapi dia tak buat i just do it myself.macam bersihkan tempat rabbit, kita kena sapu before cahaya matahari naik..kalau tak nanti lalat datang..dah sapu kena spray sikit sana sini..jadi kalau dia tengok me buat dia mesti tak senang hati,..sebab i buat breakfast,i siapkan budak,i bersihkan tempat rabbit..so you pandai2 fikir sendiri lah.So kalau buat macam ni sekali dua..dia faham dah..nanti di cepat2 buat..she is not rajin cuma dia tak pandai mengatur waktu..dah ajar banyak kali tapi tetap lupa..so i buat "reverse physcology" just like Tia Mia..Tia Mia kalau tak naik2 lagi mandi nak pi school..i tak kuasa lah nak memujuk atau bergaduh lagi dengan dia orang i just cakap " Okay i am going to office now..both of you can stay at home..i ll tell teacher that you no longer going to school and you can help with house works,clean the drain,sweep the flour,wipe the toilet...." dengar jer macam ni terus berkejar naik macam magic;);)

he,he..ini "stock" Heni..yang ini dia cukup ingat..kurang ajer dia terus cakap " Puan pelembut sudah habis..pengilat lantai sudah tinggal dikit benerrrr.."

Uwan pulak routine dia bangun pagi minum secawan nescafe..perut dia tak tahan dia terus nak makan..so sementara nak masak breakfast yang ambik masa macam bee hun ke..goreng lah dulu karipap segera or anything..she will eat that in the kitchen and after that will sit down at the verandah..she likes to see the girls berlari,Heni buat kerja..so me after dah goreng bee hun hantar lah sepinggan kat verandah.

Ada benda2 macam ni..uwan ada lah activity menyiram sikit2..which is good for her.

Okay Tia cepat naik otherwise.....jengg..jenggg you know what..hee..heee..p.s ada yg tanya pasal bunga..bukanlah greenthumbs sangat..pasal ada "baja magic" in the old entry saya dah cerita kan;)

Sebab semalam dah terlebih makan.. this is my lunch for today..Humuos sundried tomatoes wrap from O'Briens.

Since sangat suka Humous now..i pi tambah beli humous sebekas dari stall Arab:) Kalau siapa tahu pasal humous ni tak bagus makan banayk2 sangat pun please let me know.

I sapu Humous kat warp and gigit..ouhhhhhhh sedapnyaaaaa....

Perasaan sangat nak balik ke "Aminah Resort" this weekend..Insyallah:)

sangat seronok kalau dapat balik rumah uwan..the girls nak pergi banana farm lagi..hee..hee feeling2 OZ tak habis lagi lah dua orang ni:)

Semalan nak grill chicken tak jadi..hari ni maybe jadi kot...

Sebab sangat senang boleh campak semua benda dalam oven:)

Posting berantai kat Facebook yang suruh kita post mana kita kena pergi ikut tarikh lahir in order to support breast cancer week tu shows that I have to go to Austria for 29 months..ishhh seronok bebenor..terus teringat Rauthaus Park yang banyak "giant" rose ni..so let me berangan kejap....taaaa..taaaa.

RM15 project & Asam Pedas Talapia in Westham,London.

2012-01-15T09:08:00.000-08:00

Hulooooo...aduhhhh sedapnya meniarap atas tilam sambil menaip kat lappy ni;) Hee..hee the two girls already tergolek on my left and right.We chit chat at the end of this entry ya:)

Well today,we were camping at home from morning,papa had to finish his homework and it was really teruk until our best escapade today was a 1 hour trip to Pasar Taman Tun:) My request to go pasar seksyen 6 Shah Alam was turned down:(;( The man has to finish his homework..but Pasar TTDI is terribly expensive i finished my RM200 buying basic things for the fridge..except Ribbon&Cottontail food,balloons and bubbles for the small ladies.How i wish Cameron is near..broccolis,cauliflowers,tomatoes were so cheap there..here is like 'gourmet food'..The malay section is expensive too..i bought daun gajus,petai,jering emas,tempoyak,terung telunjuk,bunga kantan,serai,cencaluk,pucuk pegaga ..i think that's about all and it costed me RM41.00..cekik darah betul..anyway nak makan kan..tak boleh lah marah2 next time ada masa pergi seksyen 6 .My good buy was all the pound things,i bought cilipadi,kunyit,bawang putih,merah semua dah siap blend and it costed me RM10.00..this is good and it helped me masak cepat betul..you can whip a finger licking good masak lemak cilipadi in 10 mins or less..kid you not:):) p.s we met Munirah Triplets plus one at the pasar with her cute wonderful kids:):)

Less than 10 mins finger plus cheeks,chins and elbows licking good masak lemak ketam with tomato..heee..heee..dulu ramai yang tanya macam mana nak masak ketam santan tak curdle atau pecah.Ketam ni dia kalau masak banyak buih also banyak kandungan garam..so benda macam ikan masin,sawi jeruk kalau masak bersantan tak betul cara santan memang pecah dan tak cantik.To avoid it you can either cook the ketam with the bahan tumbuk (cilipadi,kunyit,bawang) first until buih dan air kering then baru masukkan santan or duduk lah tepi periuk tu kacau..jangan biarkan mendidih tanpa kacau.Kalau betul cara gulai ketam sangat sedap epecially kalau ketam segar dan manis.So uwan makan bertambah-tambah today.

Petang nak buat project sikit..Tia kena nose bleed pulak..then Mia lapar,so we had early dinner..i prepared fish,hash brown,buttercup salad and we had some french baquet and cheese too.It was a hot day today but the two nak makan kat luar so we had to eat at the bench under the tree.

Tia can eat salad ..she will dip in mayonnaise and eat it:)

We have all kind of dippings/seasonings just choose which one you like.

Gendang gendut tali kecapi,kenyang perut suka hati:)

Pokok cili kat garden pun dah masak betul ni..boleh lah petik..ni kita bagi tugasan kat uwan untuk petik.

After tea/dinner i started my little project..bukan apa pun mengganti alas rack kat wet kitchen..dulu kan kotak2..now munga2 pulak..i somehow like the 70s feel kat my wet kitchen..that explains the triangle shape alas;):) My old alas habislah koyak rabak dek Heni...dia cakap Tia/Mia tarik lah etc,etc..tak apalah time to ganti jugak.He..hee..my lesung batu ada 3 biji now happily landing there:)

The table cloth is RM15 only, i bought from Romantika..balik i potong and beta-bega kan untuk alas rack..sedaplah tu my eyes;):)..wet kitchen kita kan..kejapkotak2,kejap munga2..asal hati senang;)

hulloooo..what are you doing? Yang ni kalau dengar i ketang ketung guna hammer and tool box dia..memang dia tak senang hati,so he came down and immediately been assigned a task by me;) Our wet kitchen tiny island/trolley kaki satu dah haus due to kena air basuh lantai selalu. I went to look for replacement at ikea..goshh it is expensive now..near RM600 for a tiny thing,the rest of our trolley still okay,cuba tak stable sebab kaki tempang sikit. MY hb is a real corporate man..he is helpful kalau di suruh but he sometimes can't really figure out how to fix or do certain things. I somehow is quite handy since i was small selalu tengok my father buat reban ayam,kambing,bench,rack at our kitchen..so i am familiar with tools and i can design many things in my head;) So kaki trolley patah ni hubby susah jugak lah nak figure out how..i ada few wooden chopping board tak pakai kat kitchen sebab dah lama,so i asked him to cut the solid wood according to the trolley tu punya kaki and then lekatkan lah..he was skeptical first..tapi bila i nak buat dia cepat2 ambik alih..turned out to be effective..now dah okay and we jimat RM600 kan:):)

Setia menemani si papa;):)..kesian dua hari duduk rumah asyik kena leter suruh berkemas ajer..tiap 5 mins keluar pen,kertas..mestilah kena kemas balik;)

Pisang emas harga emas beli kat pasar TTDI...so tak adalah pisang emas di bawa belayar sebab tak ada budi..dah mengata ngata kan;):)

RM7 napkin stand from Romantika D Amor..hee..he..Romantika ni tak class macam SSF,lower dari KK orang cakap..tapi i suka jugak pergi cari benda2 merepek..tadi i menung2 dah tengok tea set dia..cantik sebab teko besar..senang sikit nak hidang kat orang;)

Finally malam barulah dapat berehat..ni hb buatkan teh susu..tak kaw pun tak apa lah..yang penting ingatan;)

If i have time i do like to read..i like to repeat my favorite books.

I love to read traveling books from Insight Guides,i bought Lonely Planet,APA but i stilled prefer Discovery by Insight Guides.

Unlike many other women..i tak gila sangat membaca novel but i do love Kinsella..tapi "Remember Me" ni pun tak habis lagi.

and suka jugak membaca magazine kisah2 orang ni..ni macam baca blog orang jugak ni..dapat tengok anak,rumah,fesyen orang semua;):)

Ada orang tanya..suka and pandai memasak sejak bila?Entah i pun tak ingat..masa kecik2 dulu tak lah masak sangat..ni gambar 12 tahun dulu kat West Ham,London..masa ni jalan London-Paris with my friend Yatie..London we tumpang duduk kejap kat rumah her aunt..masa ni i dah suka masak:)Tengok tu kat dapur orang i bergumbira main pisau..we went to the market and i bought a red talapia,okra,bitter gourd,soft tofu,cuttlefish,belacan and mangga muda..dasat betul pasar kat west ham ni..kalah TTDI..heee..heee...balik i masak asam pedas talapia with okra,goreng bitter gourd,sambal sotong,steam soft beancurd with soy sauce and sambal belacan with mangga muda.

Auntie Yatie tengok food banyak dia pun panggil neighbor dia an African man and his late husband to makan..my lauk pulak masa tu pedas yarabbi..but sedap lah i guess until these two europeans makan hingga tak ingat.But kesian perut this mat salleh..tak tahan..pukul 3 pagi dia tak berenti pergi jamban..hee..hee..both me and yatie masa tu tidur on waterbed kat living room...we terkekeh kekeh ketawa..hee..heee..kenangan manis:) we tinggalkan our bags kat sini dan esok paginya we naik eurostain kat waterloo station 3 a.m excited gila nak pi Paris for first time masa tu;) duit tak berapa nak ada tapi happy;);) after 4 days in Paris..we balik London pi duduk Radisson SAS sebab big boss tak boleh duduk kena panggil balik Malaysia..apa lagi bilik best halaluya kita orang kat London:)

Huishhh terus teringat London..tapi dulu2 travel selalu January..so sejuk gilerrr:)..grrrr..grrrrr

Tapi yang paling best one day kalau ada duit pergi Disneyland Paris..masuk "Small World" terus jadi budak kecik..sangat seronok;);)

To AnnHuzi yang tanya i buat apa dengan bricks..actually i letak keliling the rabbit netting..supaya dia tak boleh sorong kepala dia untuk keluar..:) memang i buat kan area macam ni sebab kalau dalam cage kesian pulak dia dah tu very leceh nak bersihkan cage..macam ni kalau setakat nak balik kampung 1 or 2 days bawak maid pun no problem..tinggalkan ajer extra food..settle.Also senang nak bersihkan tempat sebab kat atas tanah kan.Hanis tanya akar pokok ke kat belakang bunglo tu;):) hee..hee yeap akar pokok..suka pulak the rabbits nyorok kat belakang tu)

To Salmi yang tanya mana beli this emergency candle..i bought from a Hardware/DIY kat ground floor ikano,tak ingat pulak nama kedai tu.Tapi kat rack belakang bahagian camping,outdoor.It is priced at RM38 for two plus matches..nama jer candle tapi dalam bekas tu ada liquid and sumbu...after pakai simpan balik:)

budak ni happily lepak kat tilam atas lantai masa papa buat kerja..now dah tengah malam kan..tiba2 i ingat tadi suruh Heni rebus ketupat segera,esok i nak buat lontong..but i rasa dia tak buat..sebab dengar kat bawah senyap jer..so i turun bawah kejap tadi tengok ya lah semua orang dah masuk bilik masing2..so now i dah rebus the nasi impit kena tunggu masak lah pulak..nasib baik kampit kecik2 tu so not so bad:)

Thank You for all comments especially yang relate their own experience during pregnant,difficulty in life etc and to those who feel like shaking my hands,sending me doas, don't worry even we do not see each other i can feel the warmnest,the sincerity..and i am so thankful for that. And terimakasih banyak2 yang bagi views, tips in the last entry on the intended holiday,they are useful..and doakan Tia Mia kalau ada rezki dapat pergi tempat yang best ya:) tak kira dekat atau jauh yang penting sihat dan diberkati dengan keamanan dah kebahgiaan:)

And I am so sorry if you can't open the Tia/Mia's video reciting the Al Ikhlas, it is a special one from me to all of you but i am not good at all these things,when i first uploaded it it was there for few hours..lepas tu tak ada pulak..I ll need a tutorial from my niece again it seems.I promise to upload again in the future.

Sebagai ganti i ll give you all a special preview on our new 'bungalow'..Tia and Mia helped mama to renovate it;) It is all white and i love it with all my heart;):) But we start from the very beginning first..the morning of the renovation itself..so come let see....

Before we start the handwork..i prepared breakfast for everybody .

Today's breakfast is Dome style..we had beef strips, runny eggs,cheese,toast,olive and fruit salad.

My delicious plate;);) Forget about diet first,after this we burn the calories ya..

It was a good breakfast....

While having breakfast..Tia and Mia watered their bitter gourd and angle loofa.

To my friend sham..kalau nak tengok my Hychintus..macam ni lah entah tahun bila nak tinggi lagi ni:):)

Then time manja2 kan Cottontail..Ribbon kena fungus kat telinga belum hantar injection lagi..so tak boleh pegang sangat.

Lovely time.

hallooooo... i am Cottontail:):)

Bela rabbit ni actually not only for the kids but for the senior too..she loves sitting in the garden looking at blooms and animals..ye lah masa muda dulu rumahnya penuh dengan orchids,roses and all kind of flowers..now tak tanam pun dia mash appreciate garden and it's beauty...so today we go nursery ya Uwan.

Balik dari nursery tadi jumpa pulasan..suka betul hati..my favourite ni;)

And terjumpa jugak orang jual telur pindang..terus beli ..sangat suka telur "busuk" ni:)

Today's lunch..simple and fast...gulai lemak cilipadi dah ada so tambah lauk beli kat restaurant dekat rumah;)sebab leaps tu nak buat renovation kan.

This one nice kalau makan dengan bubur jugak.

Alhamdulillah..semua dah kenyang..sampai terduduk depan tv;)

Ok adikkkk..lets go and join mama in her project now;)

Okay..drink dah ready..let's get started:)

After nursery we stopped at the hardware shop to get bricks and few other things to renovate our bungalow.

And we are proud to present our new white bungalow with it new north and south wings...

Hehhh..heeehhhh..ini lah bungalow Ribbon and Cottontail with it new north and south wings..cantik takkkk?

Since hobbits suka menyorok so we pun buatkan tempat menyorok them..ni actually longkang,i bought 2 pieces at RM5.00 each..balik i spray dengan cat putih..sangat cosy kan bungalow ni...*wink* wink* they gonna have housewarming soon but only carrot and celery will be served:)

Sorry for the little "disappointment" :):) anyway..ini kerja budak 2 orang ni..mama asked them to help mama transfer the cactus they bought at cameron into bigger pots..

I got many new blooms today:):) happy mode..this month my salary awal lagi dah habis..heee..hee so i am surviving on husband's wallet:):)

I did some serious gardening today...

Many red plants and blooms at nursery today since Chinese New Year is just around the corner..TiaMia went gaga tengok semua bunga2 merah..banyaklah yang di angkutnya balik:)

Cactus dah pindah ke bigger pots.

wahhh very serious discussion tu..which bungalow you gonna renovate after this?

Hmmmm.tangan sakit,kaki kebas,kuku hitam..tapi rasa bliss tengok garden with colors;) Jom masuk and take 5 before kita start dinner pulak.

This is dinner for the papa and girls..fettucine with beef strips,tomato and shaved cheddar cheese..very yummy..mama and uwan decided to go for sardines.lemak putih durian and sambal

Dinner is alfresco style tonite;);)

My good buy from hardware shop..Emergency Candle..you can light it up for more than 54 hours..tahan angin,ribut ..hee..heee..it smells nice and gives wonderful ambience for alfresco dining:)

Night,Night Cottontail and Ribbon..hope you like your new space..sleep tight okay.

And Tia/Mia stop jumping around..time to go in now...

Finally i would like to share Jalan2 Cari Makan food;):) Last Friday i had this briyani arab at the Food Republic New Wings OU..it was good i like it very much..just in case anybody would like to give a try.

The Spring chicken is small..smaller than nandos but everything on the plate is tasty..if you like it la:):)

I ordered a plate of Homous to go with it and i love it very very much;):) Have a nice Sunday everybody..taaa..taaaa..

Good Mood:)

2012-01-12T07:24:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah,thank you to every single of you,you are all special:) To those who shared their experience here you are such a caring person with good heart:) Why did I say that? because there are other women out there with the same story,upon reading yours they said " i am not alone,i should also fight!"

To those who give good words,opinion we learnt from each other,we women are all sisters,we are strong:):) I might not be a able to say thank you to each but i read all comments; reader from Brunei,silent readers,loyal friends,frequent readers Thank You again.

I think enough of my writing that makes people revisited their past..and to those complimented me with extraordinary words i take it as doa and sedekah,tak tiap hari orang berdoa untuk kita kan..itu sangat istimewa. Having said that i am just very normal,nothing extraordinary, maybe i have an advantage in writing :):) My friend today said " we iii ko dah jadi pakar motivasi ganti ustazah Bahiyah ya..ke Oprah atau Martha Stewart...haaaa..haaa..." Kihh..kihhh i said mana lah ustazah bahiyahnya.. but i do want to have Martha Stewart skills:):) i am just a normal lady,ada temper,ada flaws..kadang2 suami pun merajuk with me..tapi bila buat nasi lemak sotong hilang rajuknya..and kadang2 anak2 menangis,merajuk dengan i jugak but when i wanted to live in the moon they held me tightly and showered me with hugs and kisses.And i want to stay normal..so much *wink* wink*.

So tonight is a story of a normal woman:):) She suka berangan,antaranya setiap awal tahun berangan nak travel..brings so much energy and happiness to me bila berangan nak berjalan ni kihh..kihh.

To our family,awal2 tahun ni mula2 lah berangan family trip..semuanya bergantung pada budget..since Tia Mia nak masuk school in 2014 banyak lah kena sacrifice sikit,kita bukan jenis banyak simpanan sangat,makan gaji kan..kena menabung lah sikit2 untuk dua kenits ni:)Tapi berangan tak apa..tinggi mana pun tak kena duit.Macam biasa before decide on anything i will have my note book,choose 2 tempat paling suka,write down the ticket price,the accommodation cost,check children friendly ke tak,what to do there?food,weather etc,etc..

So i have some of my favorite pictures..they bring so much joy to look at..experience traveling with your loved ones is priceless..but before that i found the picture below at somebody's fb.. i like this ustaz..he's so cool..what say you:)

Ha..haaa.. i like this..he got good sense of humor..he himself is a good calon..kihhh..kihhh..the other day i watched him goreng guitar..wahhh boleh than:)

Then nak share perangai Tia Mia at school today:) The two have started their bahasa malaysia class at kindy..so they a bit a bored,when i went to pick them today Teacher Claire said they told her " Teacher i know what is sleeping,walking,reading,swimming in bahasa..now you tell me what is Alhamdulillah in English???"..heee..heee..pandai they agak soalan yang teacher claire will have difficulty to answer:) So teacher claire said " Bless you'..i told her it is "Thank You Allah"

I love this picture..as usual my dream place ni bukannya tempat shopping besar2,brand outlet or theme park..but a park..a place where you can sit down and appreciate the beauty:) This picture was taken at Royal Botanical Garden in Sydney..tak tahu bila ada rezki ke sana lagi.

Happiness:)

It is so nice to just sit on the bench with a cup of hot chocolate..i don't need gucci,prada or lv (ehhh iya ke tuuuu..heee..heee kalau nak balik hotel nampak boutique gucci bukan patah tengkuk terpaling paling ke)

Itu my angan2 but the girls kinda made up their mind on Disneyland..aduihhh..who said that we will be going to Disneyland ni..but i baca2 lah jugak pasal Disneyland Hong Kong ni..i ve been few times to HK in the past..but masa tu ada Ocean Park ajar..HK ni problem weather lah,you cannot go after May,it will be very humid and hot..macam terbakar kulit,you ve got to go late September to February masa ni sejuk sebab winter,baru nice jalan2.Nak makan pulak kena duduk area Kowloon,kat Tsim Sha Shui especially Nathan Road banyak halal food..kat island kurang or susah..but itu masa dulu...now tak tau.But sincerely apart from bergurau with the girls i like Hong Kong..cuma dgn budak2 susah sikit kot.

And kalau pergi Hong Kong mana boleh main masak2? ishh i suka masak2 ni:)

And tak dapat lah pergi tengok2 benda macam ni haaa...

Weiii kenits..kat Hong Kong tak ada nyer nak boleh buat camni tauuuu...hee..hee bilalah kedai surfing kat Bondi Beach ni nak bayar royalty model swimming suits dia orang ni:):)

Hmm nanti lah mama papa fikirkan ..sambil kira budget mana nak pergi..kalau rumah uwan ajer kat kampung okay tak..we can still see chicken,banana farm,river etc,etc..then we can shop at Econsave at the wonderful and beautiful Kuala Pilah:)

Kalau pergi jauh2 pun bukannya you all tahan nak tidur lama2 kat seat dalam flight tu..jadi macam ni haaaa...

But this girl really smart she said" mama why don't we go to both,first Disneyland then Caversham Wildlife Park in Perth?"..wahhh Tia you so good..but we only got denting2 in pocket how to do that?

Hmmm nanti lah fikirkan kita bawak makan koci duluuuu...

Bliss evening with uwan@home sweet home.

My cooking tonite:) favorite ramai orang..husband masuk dapur terus cakap "very nice smell"..my sambal sotong i tarok santan,dah tu sotong masuk last bila kuah dah pekat..sotong tak boleh lama,kalau masak kejap sotong lembut dan manis;) Nak cerita my husband mula2 kahwin dgn i dulu,asam pedas,sambal sotong,goreng beehun semua tak boleh makan dari bujang.Perut dia tak tahan cili..kalau beehun pulak dia cakap sebab ingredients dalam beehun tu itself buat dia sakit perut,.I buat cili mesin,cili rebus dulu,buang biji,dah tu tumis cukup2 masak..now sambal,asam pedas,my beehun goreng are his favourite:):)

Sambal sotong sangat sedap makan dengan lemak kubis ber soon:);)

Okaylah i end my entry with the first videos of Tia and Mia reciting Al Ikhlas..Moga Jumaat esok barakah buat semua.Salam.

Dear A......

2012-01-11T07:35:00.000-08:00

Salam semua:)...ohh i like all comments posted here,so nice to read experience ,doas and good words from others:) I have some times tonight,will answer all comments at the end of this entry ya.

But before that i would like to make a special entry for one reader, i dont know her personally , but i think she is a special and strong lady as despite all the negative feeling she has towards husband she stilled want to improve her marriage,make it more colourful and happy...i can see that in her writing:)

I don't have many informations or aware of the root of the problem but she said after 12 years of marriage and having 11 and 8 years old sons..masih sangat sukar memaafkan suami sebab terlalu banyak pahit getir sepanjang perkahwinan,terlalu banyak perkara lama yang menyakiti sehingga tawar hati terhadap suami. How to be lebih bahagia dan tenang dalam perkahwinan?

I am a not a perfect person and i am not an expert,my kebahagiaan dan ketenangan jugak kepunyaan Allah Swt..sangat bersyukur di beri kebahagiaan dan ketenangan itu,tak berani mensia-sia kan nya..tapi doa itu tak putus biarlah diberi peluang terus untuk bahagia dan membahagiakan..apa yang sedikit sebanyak ada dalam diri ini biarlah dapat di kongsi dengan orang2 yang di sayang.Selain itu semua ketentuan Allah Swt yang Maha Esa..

Sebab saya tak really tahu apa yang sangat pahit dan getir, apa yang sangat menyakiti sehingga sukar memaafkan saya berkongsi pendapat berdasarkan ilmu (saya buat family law dulu) dan yang di lihat dan di dengar.Wanita sangat sukar memaafkan dan terluka dalam dalam perkara berikut ;

1. Di khianati suami dengan wanita lain.

2. Disakiti suami secara fizikal.

3. Di sakiti oleh keluarga mertua keterlaluan.

4. Suami tidak memberi kasih sayang,dibiarkan mencari nafkah sendiri,menghadapi semua masalah sendiri,isteri tidak mendapat tempat pertama dalam hati dan tiada perhatian.

Saya tidak mengatakan A mempunyai masalah salah satu di atas tapi ini adalah pandangan secara general (hee..hee macam cik sri siantan pulak saya) tetapi tak apalah sebab insan yang baik adalah insan yang ingin melihat " jirannya" bahagia dan sebagai wanita kita mestilah kita ingin melihat semua wanita lain bahagia jugak.

Yang No 1 di atas adalah perkara yang paling sukar di maafkan wanita, wanita boleh hidup tanpa nafkah,boleh disakiti hati, dan menahan kerenah keluarga mertua tapi sekali mereka di khianati cinta..sangat luka hati dan immediate reaction adalah ingin membawa hati jauh2.

Saya kerap jugak di datangi wanita, menceritakan di khianati suami,dalam diam2 tak tahu suami ada wanita lain.Suami yang baik di rumah, bertanggung jawab ni kalau mengkhianti isteri,isteri memang sangat kecewa sebabnya kerana cinta mereka masih menebal, makan,minum elok terjaga, kenapa suami masih menduakan? lain lah kalau memang bergaduh sepanjang masa hati pun dah tawar. So saya pun tanya apa yang dia mahu seterusnya,memang senang berpisah,memang sukar melupakan sebab otak kita adalah wayang terbaik dia boleh memberikan kita gambaran macam2,seolah boleh melihat suami berasmara dana,kalau macam tu bagaimana nak melupakan.Dan memang lah sangat pedih,bak kata orang tak kena tak tahu,tak rasa tak dapat menyelami.Tapi hidup ini perjuangan,so kena buat pilihan dalam meneruskan hidup..sekiranya kita tak langsung boleh memaafkan dan kita bersedia fizikal,mental dan kewangan untuk berpisah maka boleh lah kita teruskan dengan perpisahan.On the other hand jugak kita perlu fikirkan kita telah begitu sukar membina kehidupan bersama,segala yang pahit getir semua di tanggung bersama, sekarang telah senang,telah bahagia,mahukah kita mengaku kalah dengan wanita lain yang durjana (husband pun durjana jugak kan..sangat banyak durjana heee..heee..:);).

Nasihat saya pada wanita2 ini jika suami secara jujurnya meminta maaf,bertaubat sekiranya kita bersedia elok lah di terima balik,tak senang hidup bersendirian,tak mudah menggalas title ibu tunggal.Tetapi ada syaratnya sekiranya kita menerima balik buat lah sejujurnya,tidak boleh menyimpan dendam "ohh kau buat aku,nanti aku balas balik,aku carik boyfriend lain belakang2"..kalau tak ada keihlasan itu it will not work..saya telah melihat contoh..terpaksa lah membuang semua ingatan pahit..tell yourself ada hikmah di sebalik semuanya.barangkali kebahagiaan yang lebih besar menanti..may be ini pembuka mata..ini permulaan kepada hidup yang lebih bahagia, maybe aku perlu menilai diri aku jugak semula..ini ujian kecik. True enough wanita yang datang kepada saya itu, balik kepada suami,memaafkan dan menerima nampak lebih bahagia sekarang,mereka memperbaiki segalanya..kerana pengorbanan "hati" wanita ini dan keikhlasan nya nampak sekarang rezki yang bertambah dan bonding yang lebih kuat antara mereka suami isteri,malah sentiasa bergurau senda seperti baru berkahwin..saya pun tumpang bahagia.

Dan perkara2 yang sebut 2,3 dan 4 di atas jugak boleh menyebabkan hati sangat terluka. Ada wanita yang saya kenali di sakiti ibu mertua,sebolehnya ibu mertua ingin memisahkan mereka kerana kesalahannya yang kecil sedang kan dah ada dua anak yang besar2. Kerana suami tidak kuat,tidak berusaha mempertahan kan maka mereka bercerai.Dia sangat menderita,menangis siang malam dan hilang semangat untuk hidup.

Tidak semua yang bernasib baik mendapat keluarga mertua yang baik dan sayang kepada kita..dan tidak mudah kita orang luar untuk menyesuaikan diri dalam keluarga yang baru.Kita telah ada standard kehidupan kita,cara keluarga kita, kadang2 mula2 berkahwin mendapat kejutan..ehhh kenapa macam ni..ehhh teruknya..etc,etc..nasihat saya pertamanya suami kena kenal diri kita betul2 kerana kehidupan baru itu yang bertanggungjawabnya adalah suami dan kita.Keduanya beri ruang,beri flexsibility jangan cuba nak menukar standard atau memberi penilaian sebab bukan semua manusia boleh berubah. Saya sendiri bukanlah type yang boleh bertepuk bertampar,cium berpeluk,bergossip dengan in laws,tapi kita tahu tanggungjawab kita,kita tahu tanggungjawab suami,jangan sekat tanggungjawab tu,jangan cuba menukar kasihsayang jugak..jangan sesekali memberi kata dua " your mom or me" because he definitley cannot decide,,kalau dia cakap "you' pun dia kan rasa sangat bersalah dalam diri..jangan buat suami berasa bersalah..sebab rasa bersalah akan menghantui nya sepanjang masa..akhirnya dia akan rasa jugak bertapa dia zalim membiarkan keluarga yang telah membesarkannya. Cukup kan lah ilmu di dada kita, yang paling penting harus ikhlas sebab keikhlasan ada lah kemenangan..kalau kita ikhlas,kita berilmu tahu apa yang patut dan tak patut di cakapkan insyallah hati yang keras dapat di lembutkan. Dan pandai2 lah adjust relationship dengan mertua.jika kita ada pendirian akhirnya dia akan menghormati pendirian kita tu.Alhamdullilah my in laws duduk bukanlah jauh sangat dari kita orang,kadang2 sembahyang jumaat dari office pun my husband pergi sembahyang masjid dekat rumah his parent..saya tak pernah bertanya yang buruk atau cuba nak masuk campur apa2..beri lah setakat termampu tanpa menjejaskan tanggungjawab dia sebagai suami.Walaupun saya tak lah melahirkan dengan kata2 selalu tapi sangat terharu bila saya pergi melawat mereka kalau ada buah mangga kat rumah tu and my father in law tahu saya suka mangga,tak ada kayu untuk mengait dia sanggup patahkan se dahan mangga untuk saya dan kadangkala hingga habis sepokok;):)..kalau saya tak makan atau makan sedikit selagi tu lah telinga saya tak habis mendengar " zu makan,makan,makan,makan.." apa yang kita masak pun sentiasa sedap bagi dia,bukan nak berbangga mengatakan how saya hebat tapi nak memberi contoh perkara2 kecik yang harus di hargai.Tak berani nak cakap besar,setakat ini okay,di masa hadapan hanya Allah Swt yang mengetahui.Saya jugak memegang prinsip setiap perbuatan,hubungan ada batasan,mesti ada ruang hormat..bak kata emak saya "terlampau sayang boleh menjadi benci,terlampau dekat boleh menjadi jemu".

Di sakiti suami secara fizikal adalah sama degree kepedihannya dengan di khianati..dalam banyak2 perkara di atas saya rasa kalau suami terus menyakiti kita..there's no point to continue..orang yang patut melindungi kita,menjadi pembunuh pada hati dan fizikal kita..apa kah aqidah perkahwinan itu akhirnya?Having said that masih ada wanita yang masih setia menunggu di sisi suami walaupun di sakiti sehingga lebam dan patah2..ini soal hati..sangat sukar kita mencampuri urusan suami isteri.Dulu saya pernah bertanya pada seseorang kenapa you sanggup bersama dia,dia sangat menyakiti,you deserve yang lebih baik, jawabnya "biar lah derita asal kan dia ada di sisi,tanpanya saya tak boleh hidup"Tapi berlaku adil lah pada diri kita..sayangi diri kita dulu sebelum menyanyangi orang lain.

Then soalan;Bagaimana mahu lebih tenang,lebih bahagia dalam perkahwinan? Ketenangan itu sebenarnya datang apabila kita bahagia..apabila perasaan kita "settle" menerima apa yang ada,selagi kita tak menerima,kita tak melupakan,kita tak "settle" sangat sukar untuk tenang dan seterusnya tiada bahagia.

Dengan ilmu yang telalu sedikit saya berkongsi " cara saya" untuk lebih tenang dan bahagia dalam perkahwinan; (sorry gambar recycle,ada problem today hanya boleh reload gambar dari picasa web album saja).Saya berkata begini sebab setiap orang lain caranya mencari bahagia,tak sama dengan cara saya.Seorang wanita berprofile tinggi menyatakan pada saya dia perlu ada masa untuk " me,myself" baru dia rasa adil,kerana sama2 mencari duit untuk keluarga,penat menguruskan anak2 dan rumahtangga, she doesn't want to be deprived of her "own happiness" so dia perlu ada masa setiap minggu untuk outing bersama kawan2 dimana atau sampai waktu bila pun, dia akan terbang kemana mana bersama rakan bergembira. Itu lah cara dia..i am sure kitchen and gardening is not her thing:):) boring orang macam saya ni tau..kuku pun penuh baja dan kunyit:):)

Tips saya ;

Bimbing suami supaya dia tahu tanggunjawabnya dalam perkara2 yang remeh dan kecil..biasanya tanggungjwab besar macam nafkah semua tu dia tahu..tapi yang kecik2 macam membantu di rumah,di dapur,menjaga anak ni ramai yang tak buat.Sebab lelaki ni macam budak kecik jugak kita perlu lah beritahu atau bimbing dia secara saikologi kalau tak kita harap dia tahu sendiri kita yang makan hati.Perkara2 kecik yang dia buat tu boleh membuat kita bahagia..kalau kita sibuk di dapur dia pandai mandikan anak,buat susu..or at least duduk berselimut depan tv dengan memeluk anak2..lepas penat masak di dapur nampak permandangan tu rasa sangat gembira..terharu.

Biarlah banyak masa bersama kita dan anak2..supaya kehidupan perkahwinan itu menjadi nafasnya. Buatlah outing,makan bersama menjadi routine,kalau dah jadi routine kalau kita tak buat kan rasa tak seronok,tak lengkap hidup..isteri,anak2,rumah dan perkahwinan harus menjadi " comfort" kepada suami,walau apa pun kesusahan dia,dia tak mencari tempat lain tapi berbalik kepada "comfort" nya untuk sokongan.

Jagalah rumah kita..mengikut kemampuan buatlah seindah,sebersih dan semenarik mungkin..rumah itu syurga ku..siapa yang tak nak balik ke "syurga" siapa yang tak berasa happy berada di syurga. Biar lah semua anggota keluarga sama2 menghargai rumah..kalau mereka tak tahu bimbing mereka..macam mana nak bimbing start dengan kita dulu..sangat besar pengaruh isteri, ibu dalam kehidupan..hidup sebumbung,makan semeja,tidur sekatil mesti dia terpengaruh dengan activity kita.

Jaga dapur kita..kalau tak masak selalu pun kena ada ilmu untuk masak..kenapa kita sangat sayang ibu kita..semua dia masak sedap sebab air tangan..itu lah kelebihan isteri..sangat bahagia kalau duduk makan semeja..pagi ni masa breakfast saya cakap " we are so fortunate because early in the morning kita dapat duduk semeja breakfast,sambil tengok tiamia ni terkekeh-kekeh..ada orang seawal 6.00 pagi dah hantar anak umur setahun ke nursery, diaper pun tak tukar lagi"...

Create makanan keluarga, sehingga suami,anak2 sungguh synonym dengan makanan ni..tutup mata pun dia dah tahu itulah masakan kita..masak berulang sekurang-kurangnya seminngu sekali,sehingga menjadi kemestian dalam keluarga..kalau dia outsation lama dia kan terasa kehilangannya. Masak lah seolah-olah setiap hari adalah hari istimewa dan hujung minggu adalah hari raya. Buat presentation yang elok bila menghidang ,supaya keluarga merasa makan di rumah sangat istimewa dan bukan hanya bila makan di hotel saja.Semasa kita orang makan di Cameron Higland,my girls tak nak makan spaghetti hotel,my husband said " the girls pandai appreciate good food kalau you masak mesti they makan tak ingat orang"..sangat sedap telinga mendengar.

Rancanglah sesuatu yang istimewa melibatkan seluruh keluarga setiap tahun,mengikut kemampuan pergi lah ke mana mana pun tak kira dekat atau jauh buat lah ianya teristimewa seolah-olah itu lah first kita dapat travel.Rancang bersama-sama suami,get him to be involved,kalau kita browse website atau gambar2 tunjuk kan pada dia,biar dia dapat mood kita tu.Kalau awal tahun merancang sangat seronok,sebab ada something yang kita looking forward too..project bersama.Bila kita travel bersama it is " our time" bersama..menambah ilmu secara sama2, kenangan manis sampai bila2. Bukan setakat ke Paris atau London,ke PD atau Cameron pun boleh sama level seronoknya kalau kita berusaha mencipta keseronokan tu.

Let the man has his own hobby..try to have some knowledge of his hobby too.Why husband suka lepak di luar dgn kawan2 sebab mereka dapat bercerita perkara yang mereka tak boleh cerita dengan wife.Kita ada masa yang lebih lama dengannya di rumah biarlah kita dapat sama2 menyampuk satu dua tentang hobby dia tu.

Mesti ada hobby bersama jugak..yang melibatkan seluruh keluarga..sangat seronok dan happy membuat activity bersama ni..walaupun simple macam menanam sayur...biarlah berpenat sikit asalkan kebahagiaannya berpanjangan.

Kita sendiri pun mesti ada hobby..kalau boleh biarlah suami pun menghargainya...cerita pada dia pasal hobby kita..contohnya kenapa sesuatu pinggan tu berharga,apa yang cantik,kenapa kita suka..my husband dah pandai apa itu english or french theme..nampak gambar kitchen yang dia agak i suka,kalau i dalam bathroom pun terjerit-jerit dia memanggil..tengok gambar rumah kat mana pun berusaha dia save or forward to me.

Reward dia bila dia buat sesuatu untuk kita dengan benda yang simple tapi sweet,contohnya "dear thank you for replacing my car battery today..i buat your favorite buger this morning" Dia sangat menghargai nya,kalau dia jenis yang tak berapa reti nak puji2 sedangkan kita expect dia puji,jangan memendam rasa cakap terus terang " pasal apa you tak cakap apa2sedap tak buger i tuuuu?

Bina lah impian bersama..biarlah sama2 sehala..kalau sama2 halatuju,citarasa..tak tercapai pun lagi cita2 rasa sangat seronok dengan hanya bercerita,menengok gambar.....malam2 10 minutes bersama di atas sofa tengok gambar2 contoh rumah,dapur pun sangat bliss:)

Finally seperti yang orang tua2 cakap..berkahwin ini adalah dua manusia yang satu hati..kalau kita menganggap dia sebagai kita dan kita sebagai dia..kita tak kan menyakiti antara satu sama lain..selanjut mana pun usia kita sentiasa ada physical contact yang jadi kemestian contohnya..ciuman di dahi masa pagi..sangat seronok orang yang menerimanya..takkan kita sampai hati nak marah berpanjangan kalau seawal pagi tu dia telah beri ciuman pada kita..

(Ohh gambar ni buat saya sangat teringat Bowral di NSW:);)...Finally bina taman di hati kita sendiri..kalau di izinkan Allah Swt jauh lagi perjalanan kita di dunia ni..tak kan sepanjang masa kita tak nak ada taman di hati..berusaha keras mencari,menciptanya..tetapkan pendirian samada A atau B, life is about making a decision..if happiness is our target list down the items that can make us happy and unhappy..include the happy items in our life and eliminate the unhappy ones.

The final,final is doa..doa lah seikhlas mungkin,kalau berdoa untuk kebahagiaan bukan bahagia untuk diri sendiri sahaja tetapi memohon supaya kita dapat memanjangkan bahagia tersebut,kalau berdoa panjang umur bukan kerana kita nak membuat keseronokan kita semata-mata tapi untuk di beri peluang menjaga orang2 yang disayang macam anak,suami dan ibu yang telah tua.Allah Swt telah tahu apa yang ada dalam hati kita,tapi sebagai hamba mesti lah kita berdoa dengan seluruh nafas untuk mendapat yang baik2..bak kata my emak..kalau orang tu selalu berbuat baik pada kita,tak putus menjenguk dan mengingati kita,bersyukur dengan apa yang kita beri,baik kepada semua orang..dan dia datang meminta sesuatu kepada kita yang boleh kita tunaikan,tak kan kita tak tunai kan permintaan tersebut..itu lah analisis seorang tua,tak berpendidikan tinggi tapi menjadi landasan dalam kehidupan saya.

Collection of Memories.

2012-01-09T07:24:00.000-08:00

Salam Tia and Mia and All:) Thank You for dropping by at our memory lane again.We shall chat in the next entry ya. For those who asked questions about school or play school for certain reason i would like to talk personally to you:) i heart you *wink*wink*so please leave your email address,i will attend to it asap;)

I am bit tired today:) but very contented,happy overall:) happiness in heart is the best gift that can be granted to you:) I am puasa today,Alhamdulilah Tia is getting better,the cough is less or almost gone but i still want to send her for Allergy Test as i have a strong feeling that she is allergy to something.I ve done mine last 2 years,i went through 33 samples,you can opt for either 33 or 60 or more than that.The test is very simple the doctor will scratch you skin lightly with needle and apply the sample from various products.My result shown that I am allergic to dust,mites and oranges..hmmm how could it be oranges?? but Alhamdulilah i am doing just fine with oranges now.

Few weeks ago somebody did asked me to relate my experience in carrying Tia Mia until giving birth as she is looking forward to get pregnant and hope that i can share my experience.Well i would love to share my experience but at the same time i am worried that i might scare you to death!..hee..hee..nothing rosy during my pregnancy,it was the toughest time in my life:) Allah Swt memberi dan menduga,in the end all the hardship worth so much that sometimes i feel thank you is not enough:) Ok lah we cerita lagi shortly..i just wanna share a few pictures i managed to snap before buka puasa semalam.

As i had a hectic schedule today i cooked one simple dish:):) Ikan kerisi singgang is one of my favorite plus it is so easy to prepare. I always keep cilipadi,bawang and kunyit tumbuk in a container in my fridge,so bila nak masak ni,just bubuh air dalam periuk,take a spoon of cilipadi,bawang and kunyit tumbuk masukkan dalam air dan biar mendidih.Add few slice of halia,lengkuas if you have any and serai,make sure air jangan banyak,cukup2 untuk tenggelamkan ikan,masukkan ikan,tomato,asam keping and garam.Bila kuah dah cloudy and ikan dah masak angkat..hmmm sangat sedap makan dengan nasi panas sambil menghirup kuah.

I bought acar buah for uwan..ni selalu bukak selera dia.

Ohhh Mr Petai you so gemuk,young and hot:):)..yeap cerita petai lagi,semalam dapat pemberian orang.I am easily touch with budibahasa manusia..kadang2 kita tak berapa kenal pun dia tapi kita ada dalam kotak ingatan dia..bukan kah itu istimewa..tiada harapan balasan atau sebagainya..so saya dalam kotak ingatan seorang budak di departmant lain kat opis ni;)yang baik hati..dia pulang ke kampung dan ingat membekal kan saya buah tangan dari kampungnya.

Syukran i buka puasa with rambutan pemberiannya jugak:):)

While waiting for Azan Maghrib:) Mia dah tidur masa ni...penat..i spent sometimes with my two sunshines:)

Okay mari lah kita cerita sikit pasal pregant:) Tulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia sepenuhnya sebab Tia Mia sekarang tengah belajar membaca dan menulis dalam Bahasa Malaysia;):)

Kalau di ikutkan panjang lah cerita tentang mengandungkan kenits sehingga melahirkan nya.Saya pendekkan sahaja lah.Pertamanya Alhamdulillah Tia Mia ini di berkati dengan rezki dalam dalam bentuk kasih sayang yang banyak bukan sahaja dari kami keluarga terdekat tapi sahabat dan orang2 yang tak di kenali pun.Saya rasa di syarikat saya ni tak adalah orang lain yang pregnant macam saya havocnya..haa..haa..bukan saja keluarga terlibat bahkan budak2 office,kawan2,orang2 syarikat dan big boss terlibat..semua memberi sokongan sungguh terharu..tanpa sokongan dari semua tentu susah saya melaluinya dulu.Menerima kebaikan yang tak berbelah bahagi dari ramai orang mengubah dan mencorak banyak perspective dan pendirian saya..kalau sebelum ni saya sangat private orangnya,kadang2 orang cakap "kering" jugak tapi kasih sayang dari insan2 lain membuat saya sangat syukur..sangat indah bila semua orang mengasihi kita..maka saya rasa perlu beri keindahan itu pada orang lain jugak:)

Saya hanya ada satu atau dua gambar ajer masa pregnant sebab sangat masa tu tak ada mood langsung ambik gambar,ni gambar di DSH tinggal few days ajer nak kena ceaser. Saya kahwin sedikit lambat dan mengandung lambat..kalau saya kata pilihan sendiri bukanlah betul sebab semua nya kehendak dan perancangan Allah Swt yang lebih tahu apa yang terbaik untuk kita.Setiap yang berlaku bersebab..untuk siapa,kenapa dan sebagainya. Kalau dikutkan usaha memang lah saya "berusaha" untuk kahwin lambat..heee..hee semua orang saya tak suka..pinta saya pada Allah Swt masa tu bukan mahu lelaki kaya atau ternama tapi yang "cerdik" dari segala segi,lelaki yang ada ilmu pengetahuan sebab dengan ilmu manusia lebih jadi manusia..manusia yang miskin boleh belajar jadi kaya dengan ilmu,yang kurang boleh menjadi lebih dengan ilmu dan sama pentingya saya berdoa minta lelaki yang mengasihi saya dan jugak ibu saya..kerana saya bertanggungjawab menjaga ibu..walaupun saya ada adik beradik lain yang jugak sangat mengasihi ibu saya tapi saya berasa ibu saya dulu mengandungkan saya pada usia yang lewat supaya tatkala semua adik beradik lain telah keluar rumah meneruskan hidup masing2 tapi saya masih ada di sisinya..menemaninya..ketika saya masih berdua dengannya saya sentiasa berdoa pada Allah Swt supaya di beri umur panjang,rezki yang baik dan kesabaran untuk menjaganya..saya "self elected" diri saya sendiri untuk menjaganya sehingga akhir hayat. Jadi kalau sudah kahwin tak kan saya melupakan semua doa itu..takkan saya melupakan saat2 kami berdua dulu. Alhamdulillah Allah Swt memberi saya jodoh itu..saya tak pernah mencari,tak melayan dan cuba menutup pintu pun awalnya..tetapi kalau dah jodoh kata orang kan..he came to my life and daringly said " i am the man,i am the man..i dont have much to offer you but we will make thing works as i can strongly feel that we are destined together"..heeehh..heeehhh..so lah jiwang karat kan;);) So i told him let weigh your ilmu now..dunia and akhirat..haaaa..haaaa..

So kenapa pregant lewat untuk dapat budak yang sangat comel niiiii? hee..heee..kadang2 kita dengar orang takut kat semut,tikus,lipas atau apa2 benda yang melampau pun kita rasa "so ridiculous"..we can't really relate..apa kena dia takut sangat kan sesuatu tu..betul ke atau pura2 ajer? Tapi kalau kita mengalaminya baru kita tahu..i was so scared of getting pregant dulu.scared to death! sampai tahap tu.When i was in my secondary school my sister gave birth to her fisrt son,her hausband gave her a book called " A start of a new life"..i bukak buku tu dan tengok gambar berwarna orang bersalin natural dengan gunting,darah semua masih terlekat di ruang bawah..saya tengok semua expression muka,kesakitan dan segalanya..i was terrified macam gila until secara saikologinya effect saya..kalau orang dengar kelakar kan..but that was the truth.So atas "usaha sendiri" saya pun tak mengandungkan diri..bila dah masuk tahun 2,3 berkahwin orang mula bertanya dan ada yang suruh pergi berurut dan sebagainya saya sangat tension sebab kita tahu bukannya kita tak boleh mengandung...tapi tak kan kita nak cakap kat orang..nanti orang cakap "saja lah tu..nak enjoy,nak jaga badan etc" tapi hanya Allah Swt sahaja yang tahu dan Allah tidak menzalimi kita...Allah memberi izin atas sesuatu pun kerana Allah Swt telah melihat keseluruhannya apa yang berlaku.Masuk tahun ke 3 kahwin saya pulak ambik MBA atas sponsor syarikat di tambah dengan Strategic Marketing from University of Cambridge UK..the course from Cambridge was really tough..sakit nak menghabiskannya..hampir tergelincir..so lagi lah tak ada masa untuk apa2 pun..nasib baik suami menyokong 200%..tak ada complaint walau satu patah pun..malah meringankan beban saya dengan membantu study etc.Masuk tahun ke 4,seorang kakak (kak ita if you are reading this..you might not realize it but your words mean so much to me at that time) cakap dengan i..zu if you nak anak,you jangan tangguh lagi now..tak kan you tak nak seorang pun dalam hidup..life is too short..jangan delay lagi" it hits me so much..balik rumah dalam hati i berjanji kalau i dah lepas dan lulus MBA and my Cambridge nanti nak nak start cuba2 dapat baby. So study pun habis tapi masih lah takut nak mencuba..tapi Allah maha mendengar kan..tak terlintas dalam hati kita lagi pun dia dah tahu apa yang kita nak pinta..so few months down the road after habis study dan result pun keluar..saya lulus semua..saya pun jatuh sakit.Saya kena sakit kepala non stop..pergi banyak clinic,berurut semua tak jalan..it was really seksa..kepala was throbbing and like being hit by the hammer..masa tu saya tak fikir nak buat pregnancy test ke apa sebab "tak mencuba" lagi kan.Akhirnya i pergi klinik office and the lady doctor asked me to do the pregnancy test..tengok result i hampir jatuh pengsan ..bila calculate dah pregnant hampir 13 weeks..kalau dikira betul memang mula pregant hari result keluar dan lulus semua tu..betapa lah Allah Maha mendengar bisikan hati..tak ada yang mustahil kalau Dia berkehendak. So masa tu belum dapat nak rasa riang gembira lagi..sangat risau,the lady doctor referred me to DSH,Doctor Guna..dia lah Gynae yang terbaik i rasa dalam dunia..dia buat proses mengandung,memeriksa saya paling senang,paling mendamaikan..dia buat ultra sound and asked me to sit down as he said he got a "big surpise"..lagi lah risau kan dah terkejut pregnant dah tu ada surpise pulak lagi apakahhhh? He said to me and husband "yeap you are pregnant,now going into 14 weeks and not only that but you are pregnant with Twins!...masa tu semua kerisauan,gundah gulana pun hilang..bila Dr Guna tunjuk two heart beat,me and husband pun cair..we just rasa whatever kesusahan pun kita mengharunginya. Tia and Mia we sayang you so muchhh..from that moment onwards tiada apa kesusahan tak boleh di harungi.Then bermula lah episode saya sakit yang terlampau teruk..it was not morning sickness tapi 24 hrs sickness..tak ada waktu yang saya tak sakit pun..for 4 months saya sakit kepala berdenyut macam kena pukul kapak 24 jam..muntah hijau,kuning 24 jam,badan panas macam nak demam sejuk 24 jam..tak boleh tidur siang malam,hanya duduk dalam gelap tepi bilik air..tak ada ubat atau benda yang boleh mengurangkan langsung sakit tu..masuk hospital kerana dehydration..tapi yang paling tak tahan adalah sakit kepala yang throbbing..sakit sangat sampai menangis..tak makan 3 bulan lamanya..masuk air keluar,masuk roti keluar.Until my doctor cakap tak payah datang hospital nak ambik MC..duduk ajer lah beberapa lama kat rumah..nanti call and he will issue me as many MC as i have taken..tak boleh pergi office..semua di pejabat bukan marah tapi simpati..3 bulan lamanya saya tak boleh kerja..datang pagi 1/2 jam muntah pun 20 kali..tak boleh drive..staff bergilir2 hantar saya balik..duduk di rumah bukan boleh baring or lelapkan mata..lepas mandi basahkan rambut,.saya duduk mengadap cermin dan cakap " this sickness is only in my mind..you are not sick actually..if you say that you are not sick you will not be sick..be positive,be positive,be strong" Tak jalan..the sakit was too muchh..uwan was watching me helplessly( yeap that was the time Uwan packed her things and moved into our house)..everday my brother datang jengok me..he pun sangat kesian tengok.i just sit in the dark sebab the throbbing head..until at one stage i was so sick i rasa macam tak larat bernafas pun..itu lah kebesaran Allah Swt di beri kita hadiah paling berharga, orang bersusah payah nak mengandung tapi saya tak tahu pun mengandung dah 13 weeks..dapat twins pulak tu..tapi di beri cabaran untuk kita muhasabah diri..sesungguh buat saya banyak berfikir lagi.Masuk bulan ke 5 saya pun better..dah boleh makan,masa ni makanan favourite saya Seafood Olio Spaghetti with Lemonade,tiap hari ke Dome,Fasta Pasta ( dulu kat Ikano,now dah lama tutup) mencari pasta..dan rakan2 office pun berkorban masa dan duit jugak lah kena makan Dome hampir setiap hari..masa ni saya dah boleh melawa..sangat gila bershopping..dan saya sempat terbang ke Tokyo menghadiri seminar..masa tu kat Tokyo gila makan north indian food with fish tikka,briyani dan pickles since tak dapat mencari pasta. So bulan 6 mengandung adalah paling smooth dapat tengok dunia luar,bersiap bagai..masuk bulan ke 7 saya pun macam biasa buat regular medical check up..masa ni kaki dah bengkak macam gajah,terus Doctor Guna tahan cakap Mia dah berhenti membesar, Tia took all the nutrions,very dangerous situation..dia tak nak take the risk..masuk hospital rabu and Sunday kena ceaser. The 1 week kat hospital very critical..my BP meloncat naik bukan kerana apa..sebab depress..kena monitor 24 hrs. Alhamdulillah i had the best team Doctor masa tu,the same team yang menyambut kelahiran anak Raja Nazrin and isterinya Zara..this team is fully recommneded Dr Guna the Gynea,Dato' Dr Musa the Pead and Dr Helmy the anastethist.. so at 3.00 am on Sunday i dah tak boleh tidur..they wheeled me into operation theathre masih ingat kena suruh membongkok atas atas katil bedah and peluk bantal untuk cucuk epidural kat belakang,saya pilih half bius ajer..Dr Helmy suruh mengucap,bismillah,ingat Allah which is really touching..sayu...the epidural tu pressure dia bila they tekan macam body being push by a big truck..shortly after that kaki pun tak rasa..bila perut kena bukak pun tak sedar,Dr borak2..bukak perut pukul 8.30, terasa lah perut bergoyang di tolak kekiri dan kanan sebab lubang perut kecik so my husband said macam orang bukak cempedak nurse kiri kanan kekah perut kekiri dan kanan supaya lubang besar..8.43 Tia keluar,8.45 Mia pulak..Alhamdulillah cukup sempurna walaupun 7 bulan and berat hanya 2.1 for Tia and 1.7 for Mia..Alhamdulillah perjalanan pulih selepas tu mudah..saya tak merasa langsung sakit..doctor helmy bagi me morphines for 4 days..so tergantung lah morphines tu kat belakang..second day saya dah boleh bangun shower,shampoo and blowdry rambut..sebab sakit sangat masa mengandung di beri kemudahan masa lepas bersalin tiada sakit langsung..so saya tak tahu sakit atau ngilu after ceaser macam mana.Mia kena duduk lama di DSH..support dan kasih sayang dari staff2 hospital memang tremendous..lama kami di hospital,berkampung menemankan twins di nursery,Mia kena duduk 9 days..walaupun bill mencecah RM38,000.000 Alhamdullillah lagi office suami cover;):)kalau nak cerita sangat lah panjang sebab banyak lah cabaran lain yang menanti after that,tapi yang besar jugak selepas balik rumah the girls tak nak minum susu badan,susu pun tak keluar, pump automatic,manual, pakai tangan semua tak jalan..bengkak susu dan sakit teramat..bubuh kobis,ambik hot shower,letak towel panas semua tak jalan..kalau siapa dah experience bengkak susu tahu lah kan berdenyut keras macam batu..bila pump kena duduk atas katil sebab sakitnya berpinar mata berpusing kepala,sekali pump terus jatuh di katil pitam sakit nya..dah tak tertanggung just one week after ceaser msuk hopsital balik nak kena operate breast..kena bius full ..baru lah experience sakit bedah lepas sedar sebab tak ada morphines..aduhhhhhh sakitnya breast macam rasa pisau tu baru menghiris tempat delicate..balik rumah pun ada spout terlekat di breast untuk keringkan stale milk menitik keluar..macam spout kat pokok getah tu lah. Apa pun kegembiraan melihat kedua cahaya mata mengatasi apa pun kesusahan, kebahagiaan ni di kongsi oleh semua orang..banyak kami menerima bunga dan hadiah sehingga waktu discharged dari ward my brother kena ambik 2 stretchers untuk angkut jambangan dan hadiah and dua kali mengangkut dari hospital...di rumah pulak tak berhenti orang datang membawa buah tangan..hadiah dan baju Tia Mia hingga umur 2 tahun dulu baru lah habis semua di guna;) So syukur.

Aduhhhh panjangnyer cerita..tu lah siapa suruh cerita lagi:):)

Macam parents yang lain anak pertama tiada pengalaman,tapi saya tak berenti membaca..banyak buku termasuk dari boss saya dapat untuk menambah ilmu..ni gambar Tia Mia 1 tahun kita orang enrolled di Shichida untuk right brain development.

So cute masa ni masuk class pun bawak bantal busuk..bantal busuk ni uwan yang buat..5 years ago uwan masih boleh lagi jahit menjahit ni..dia jumpa kain ni dari kotak my sister bawak balik dari jepun,,uwan pun jahit pakai tangan bantal untuk Tia Mia..until today masih ada..meaningful to the girls:)

3 years masuk kindy..they so happy here..first day tak payah tunggu dah..no problem going here..banyak kawan baik kat sini..

Now they are big..already..Alhamdulillah..sakit,jatuh semua sebahagian dari proses membesar but having said that as a mother we can't help but worries bila anak2 jatuh sakit.

Now cabaran nak memberi ilmu sebaik mungkin..bukan priority nak dia score dalam semua exams tapi hanya melengkapkan dengan ilmu..dulu mencari pasangan saya landaskan dengan ilmu biarlah they membesar pun dengan ilmu yang mencukupi untuk dunia dan akhirat..nampaknya very soon kena hantar KAFA for iqrak..mama papa ajar muqaddam zaman dulu style..boleh lah baca Al Iklhas dan khatam Alif,Ba,Ta now;) cuma saya tak nak rush..dont want them to learn too much in a short time..they are children let them enjoy this precious time that flies like lightning..

He..heee..cute kan Tia dulu2..ni trademark smile dia..Tia is a bit cheeky..suka buat jadi statue etc..

My domok:):)

Hope they grow into a good hamba and person...

Married for 9 years already..simbolik the 9 years hb gave me a 9 stones ring:) insyallah this 25/5 will be our 10 years..what are you going to give me this time dear? Whatttt? louder please..ohhh i can't have anything since our girls going into primary school in two years time and i also want reban ayam,kolam kangkung bla..blaaa..hee..heee..that is fine with me..i just want our wonderful time together..hope that is not too much to ask;);)

9 years going to be 10 but we feel like just married:)

As at now i dont have much treasure in the form of gold or diamond..

But...my everyday is like fresh green fields fulled with colours and fragrant.

They merajuk..gaduh with each other non stop,asked my attention 24 hrs..but i love every minutes of it;) (hmm but tipu jugak sikit kadang2 i tak tahan..i cabut pergi salon tinggalkan them with papa..heee..heeeh..but they tak kisah already now they said " have a good time mama")

So ini permandangan pagi tadi masa breakfast..

tak kisah lah makan apa kadang2 pasta kadang2 keledek..tetap syukur;)

Having a pile of documents in office pun masih syukur..so selamat mencari jodoh bagi yang single,selamat menimang cahaya mata bagi yang belum menjadi ibu..yang penting tetapkan landasan hidup kita..Insyallah..semoga semuanya baik2 sahaja.

Home,Garden Plus School & Hospital.

2012-01-06T01:44:00.000-08:00

Salam semua:):) Hopefully all of you had a great week&weekend:) It was a really busy week for me but as promised i ll answer all comments below.

Selain menguruskan day today tasks Tia sakit pulak,dua kali jugak turun naik TMC and she nearly got admitted,Alhamdullilah dah baik now,macam tu lah nak membesarkan anak2 ni kan,sakit,jatuh,luka semua sebahagian dari proses membesar.

It was an extra busy week for me,as usual January is appraisal time,tak senang nak appraise orang ni,macam2 aspek kena di lihat..hmmm hopefully semua orang pun ada rezki.Minggu ni pulak setiap fb,blog mostly bercakap pasal anak yang baru masuk sekolah..and so cute sesetengah tu the papa yang pergi tunggu si kecil so bila dia buat posting kat fb tu rasa seronok baca.Tia and Mia going to be 5 this June,so banyaklah yang bercakap mesti register dah,ada orang register sekolah sejak umur 4 tahun pun lagi.Risau jugak lah dengar..hee..hee takut anak tak ada tempat nak masuk sekolah nanti kan.So me and husband pergi lah check few school,we went to check out government and private schools.Apa pun setelah berusaha we berserah pada Allah Swt,mana yang terbaik,rezki Tia and Mia minta di situ lah dipermudahkan..and we really like one school hopefully ada rezki di situ.

Friday we visited one school...

It was a very meaningful day for the papa..experience mencari school untuk anak2.

This school has friendly and good environment for standard one.

The Library is very nice too..many good books inside it.

It was a good tour from the Admin office..thank you very much.

Our Saturday started with breakfast in our small garden.

All seeds planted by Tia Mia have grown nicely.

Bittergourd and Angle Loofa,it seems that we have to get bigger pots to transfer the plants.

Then Saturday evening Tia tiba2 batuk teruk,it was a frightening non stop cough..every time she cough she will vommit and she can't hardly eat anything..due to the non stop cough she suffered headache too..we took her to TMC..bila ada kurang sikit tu tersengeh dan meloncat..doctor gave her antibiotic and few other ubat but langsung tak ada effect..kena lah bawak for a second time..me sangat risau especially bila dia sakit kepala jugak..Sunday morning Alhamdulillah dah ada perubahan..nampak baik and less cough..Alhamdulillah,Alhamdulillah.

Today we tak pergi mana just berehat kat rumah..biar Tia pulih betul2 dulu..i made some activities for them..asked the papa to be uncharged..and i saw him taking his time carving the butterfly on the cut potato..hee..heee..nasib baik Tia Mia tak suruh carve gambar ballerina:):)

Fun time ..stamp,stamp..Tia said she is making a wall paper for me:)

Good day for everybody..

I tak beritahu lagi kan..Tia's rabbit si Heart hilang,Heni as usual very careless masuk bagi makan tak tutup pintu,gate rumah pun terbuka..so Heart escaped keluar..Tia was very sad.

Saturday after hospital..we went to pet shop to get a replacement for Tia..Alhamdulillah we got yang betul2 same..until Tia tanya mama is this my heart? did she walk back to this shop?he..hee so the new one ni she called "cottontail".

This is my 'wallpaper" exclusively designed for me by Tia and Mia.

Today as promised i tukarkan anak2 sayur Tia and Mia into bigger pots.

i put support sticks using the old chopsticks..hee.hee..

we hooked garden wire from pots to fence to enable plant to crawl...macam ni lah limited space kalau ada ruang besar mesti saya dah pergi tebang kayu dalam hutan untuk buat sokongan..:):)

Since hot soup is good for everybody i prepared steam boat this evening..we had candle to give some nice ambience too;):)

Jom kita steam2;)

Tia with her ballerina swimming suit and mia with her gown:)

The kain pelikat man incharged;)

i love being at home very much..dont have to do many fancy things..sitting down with the loved ones is a bliss.

My lemon tea really laku..sekelip mata dah nak habis.

Home sweet home..let your fingers wrinkled from washing dishes, back pain from too much laundry,face filled with cobwebs and brittled nails from cooking..i still love it..no trading:)

Yeahhhh steamboat sudah sedia untuk di makan.

Uwan habis asar pun turun nak makan steamboat.

bak kata orang makan sampai tergolek..betul tak cottontail? you so cute lah..i love bela rabbit ni..something for me to look forward too in the evening beside the loved ones..i suka bagi they makan..dia panjat2 rasa seronok and i love hidupkan api lilin malam2..macam rasa nyaman dan aman:):)

Okay lah tak menghampakan peminat gulai masak lomak cilipadi..ni dia gulai udang dengan pucuk peraga..i masak lepas makan steamboat tadi,uwan mana kenyang makan steamboat ajer..so masakkan dia gulai ..favourite dia ni.

gulai uwan sudah sedia.

Dah hidangkan siap2 baru naik atas maghrib..selamat makan malam uwan.

and limau mandarin dah membanjiri pasaran..kita org pun tak ketinggalan membeli jugak:)

Pakcik came on saturday and brought us this beautiful basket..pakcik beli dari OKU yang datang berjaja kat rumah dia ni..boleh letak banyak makan inside..very useful thank you pakcik and makcik.

Flowers from Interlaken.

2012-01-03T08:13:00.000-08:00

Assalamualaikum semua.

A special note to a dear friend before i proceed with the new entry.

This decorative plate is hanged on my wall, a friend got it for me during a trip with her mom and dad to Interlaken,Switzerland few years ago. This friend of mine has nobody else except her mom and dad,they are extremely closed o each other,i think since birth she had never been separated from her parents. Until the very last day and at the age of 40s,her mom packed her meals everyday,her dad sent her to office .They have travelled around the world since she was 4 yrs old and their life is about her,her mom and her dad.Her mother is the pillar of strength and air that keeps her breathing .Today she lost her mom to thyroid, i can imagine how sad she is, losing a pillar, losing a place for you to hold on..losing a sun that shines,moon that brightens..Al Fatihah,hopefully she ll be strong. Mom is always our pillar of strength, 10 years ago i was just like her,it was just me and my mom,no dad..i prayed to Allah Swt everyday to have my mom as long as i could at my side..my doa was fulfilled,Alhamdulilah. Now i have my own family but never a single moment that i forgot my doa to Allah 10 years ago and not a day gone without renewing that doa. If we are willing to give our life to our children now..they have done that their entire life.Doa buat semua ibu dan ayah yang telah tiada. Al Fatihah.

A life gone, a new life starts..it is always excited to see a new life,we move on..as my emak said " Allah itu Maha Kaya..walau bagaimana pun sedihnya kita ketika kehilangan tapi kesedihan itu makin lama akan hilang di telan masa sebab kalau tidak maka penuh lah dunia ni di seliputi kesedihan"..which is very true,like me i still sayang my abah and abang sulung seperti dulu,tak pernah luntur,sedih mengenangkan dia2yang telah tiada tetapi kesedihan itu bukan seperti hari kehilangannya..kalau sentiasa begitu tak dapat lah kita meneruskan kehidupan.

The seed in the picture is tiamia's ..both are really excited to see their seed growing:)

Back to school! The two were really excited this morning..hmmm if only i have the same excitement to go to office,it will be fantastic:) Unfortunately this morning after Subuh i really feel like going back to bed and golek2 my body between the two warm kenits;) lucky i have Ribbon and Heart, it is nice to go to the front yard in the morning to see them:):) they jumped upon seeing me and my heart leaped;)

Sorry peeps,it is stilled about my garden..i fully understand that some think what is the big deal about gardening,planting etc,etc.hee..heee.. it makes me happy and that matters most;) That pot in the picture was Tia Mia's work..i bought white pebbles during weekend and they asked me whether they can decorate a pot:) i asked them to wear gloves and they have done a lovely job:)

This is a path to go to Ribbon&Heart home sweet home..we got it decorated with steps,flowers and pebbles.

And i gave this tiny house a little makeover too:) Linda..akak will settle with Rabbit house first..chicken coop need a bigger backyard..hee..hee kalau kat depan rumah tak larat pulak neighbor dengar ayam berkokok:) where is my car?,both are parked outside the gate:) let the guard jaga it:) my house is not semi D or corner lot,it is intermediate with longer front yard (22 x 100)

We had a good time decorating our little garden with white pebbles:)

Today is a tiring day but the moment i walked into my gate,the whole mood was transformed:) I love seeing the two at the front yard waiting for me,busy with some chores.That is Mia in the picture she was so busy watering her seed,it looks like seed is ready to be transferred to a bigger pot and i must get some wood this weekend to make a support for the crawling plants soon. Sham my Hyachintus is still there,belum ada tanda nak berbunga but at least not dying:):)

See so rajin kan my anak daras:)

Ishh extremely rajin tu..i am so blessed and glad ..hee ..hee

Adik sampai kena pusing 180 degrees to siram bunga.that's the way to go adik..so kewl ya know;)

I got few new blooms during weekend.

Some beautiful orchids too.

I love this bunga orkid harimau,masa kecik kat my rumah my emak tanam berderet keliling rumah atas tanah,she put sabut kelapa and arang at the bottom and wood support in order to make the orchid grow straight and look neat.

Dari office sangat teringat nak minum masala tea..menyesal pulak hari tu tak beli few box kat CH..tak ada i settle for tea biasa aje.

and also been thinking about eating baquette with cheese and olive..balik rumah dah keluarkan these two tengok fresh bread dah habis,the frozen delifrance bread adalah..but it is soft rolls..tak lah sesedap makan dengan roti keras:) so kena postpone keinginan:)

Since i cooked pasta and many other western foods for the past few days i ve decided to cook papa one of his favorite dish; gulai kari udang. So i asked the girls to get me curry leaves from our garden;);)

Sedap kari udang..hmmm uwan tak ada lama lah tak masak lemak kan..rasanya esok uwan balik ni and we shall have menu masak lemak soon:):)

After cooking our dinner,i put up tea candle at Ribbon&Heart house and then settle down nicely in my room..by this time the two girls already tergolek-golek with their cute curly murly hair all over their face..and it is nice to kiss their ears,eyes,noses and mouths..bliss;);)

Before i end the entry below are few pictures from weekend activities;

Friday,we took the girl for their first movie,we watched Alvin & The Chipmunks,we had a great time.

After that we took the girls for sushi..they heart sushi very very much:):)

Sunday was a bliss day..after a tiring session in the garden i just sprawled on the floor with magazine and a glass of lemonade while my husband helped me changed the curtains..can you see a macho leg by the curtain there? he.hee..he might be a corporate man, quite helpless in carpentry etc etc but he's good at putting curtain's hooks..and i love him more for that..haaa...haaaa....dont worry ya, i ll give you something hot and steamy after this..just finish your curtains first *wink*wink*

After a good resting as promised i treated him a with a hot and steamy...... lunch:):)

Salam again,i am a lil tired tonite:( and shall attend to all comments in the next entry, i have visited many blogs,i feel happy for your happiness,keep your love flowing,enjoy your sun while it is still shining, appreciate your moon while it is still glowing, love your pillar still even you' ve already have concretes and bricks:):)

Nite,nite:)

Pray,Eat,Love - for beloved,signed mama 2012.

2012-01-01T08:17:00.000-08:00

Salam to All.2012 is here and we are stilled here..Alhamdulillah is the only word that can describe my feeling,it is very deep that i feel embarrassed to ask for more. So i start my new year with syukur..resolution?not much actually,to a better hamba and person,to give more happiness to people around me.The rest i keep close to my heart,will be said in 5 times a day..InsyAllah.

How's everybody? Thank You very much for all the lovely wishes and wonderful doas.I am very happy that i got to know many lovely people here:) 2012, i am still writing,nothing much..just my pray,eat and love..they are for Tia Khadeja and Mia Ayesha but "this book" of mine welcome warm hearts out there;) I can see some new readers as far as Peru..Salam Ukhwah:) We shall chat at the bottom of this entry:)

Forever my interest is always - Pray - they are my wishes,they are my syukur, Eat- i love cooking,it brings happiness to me and people around me, Love - I am embraced by love and i shall give nothing but love:):)For me a New year; there's no booking into fancy hotel to watch fireworks,no special dinner outside..it was just the usual things as these usual things brought so much happiness..i have my sky filled with fireworks every nites..it comes from hearts, laughters, smiles,hugs and kisses.(p.s- Sorry Julia Roberts if i overshadowed your movie..heee..heee)

Your are my fireworks,papa and uwan too:):)

I am continuosly reminded of the life circle by having these two generations around me.

Saturday we went to Lake Garden again..good walk for everybody.

Heart and soul yang bau busuk and masam:)

Took uwan for a walk in Herb Garden..she kenal banyak plants kat sini.

Good lesson for tia mia too, macam centipede plant ni (pokok lipan) ..they really look like lipan kan.

Evening we went out to look for Ribbon&Heart house...first thought nak ajak papa do the DIY..but a bit leceh..so we decided to buy the house but DIY the petting area.

We found one that we like,this is the last piece,dah tanggal2 cat pun,kalau nak cat baru,kena tunngu few days..so we just bawak balik macam ni..later i will do give new coat of paint.

We can ask the shop to custom made any pet house,like maklang's one in the picture,that is her chicken coop,she asked the shop to make according to her design.

Kemas sikit2 the area,me and hb spent few hours jugak building this "petting farm"..so syok it living up my childhood dream.

Ada yang tanya tak susah ke bela rabbit ni..macam mana kalau nak jalan ke apa? Well having a pet is a hobby,kalau hobby tu memang kena lah spent masa,kadang2 duit dan sebagainya but hobby is living out your passion,if you are passionate about something tak lah jadi susah,a little bit of hardship will bring so much joy:):)

The two are really happy..bangun pagi terus masuk kat petting area ni;):)

I promised some readers to give recipe on Cantonese noodles,this morning i had some time to do it..so here is the step by step methods.You need kicap masin,sos tiram,kicap cair,sesame seed oil and chicken cube.Unfortunately i tak adalah sukatan berapa sudu setiap satu bahan tu because i jenis campak ajar semua..so rasa2 dan agak2 lah ya..jangan terlebih,kalau kurang boleh tambah.

Also you need dried yee mee,sawi,carrot,bawang putih,merah,halia,semua hiris halus,fish sales,prawn and corn flour.

potong sawi,slice the carrot dan fish cake thinly.

Before you start cooking the gravy,get ready the yee mee in the plate.

Fry your onion,garlic and ginger until slightly brown.

Bring in your fish cake.

Put in batang sawi first so that it can cook well.

Then add about 1 tablespoon of kicap masin,sos tiram,kicap fair,half of chicken cube and sesame seed oil..kacau and rasa the gravy..if kurang masin you may add salt.

Add in your veges.

Add in the corn flour which already been mixed with water.

Add your prawn last to keep the sweetnest..cook for about 5 - 6 mins,add a lil bit of water if too thick..it should not be too thick,must be slightly runny.

Finally pour on the noodles.

Tadaaaa..yummy cantonese noodles..bring outside in your garden for a nice alfresco breakie.

So hb..sedap tak? well your plate tells everything ya:):)

The girls were really happy..after petting the rabbits they main masak2 pulak.

To those interested to buy the toy cooking set from ikea..you have to be rajin a bit lah..sebab lepas they main kita kenalah basuh sebelum simpan:):)

After breakfast i had a very tiring cleaning session in the garden,i cleaned the surrounding area at rabbit house,took out the old plants and pots,cut the branches,weed the grass,spruce the flowers etc etc..we shifted duty today while i was doing all those hb gave bath to the girls,he put the small pool in the room and let the girls main2,he made milk,dressed them up..where was our maid? she cleaned the area outside our gate;)..so after the cleaning,we went out for lunch and also to get few things from hardware shop..after that we went to tutti-frutti and i got us a bucket of RM29.40 yoghurt:):)

They way to enjoy it don't put too much toppings..we enjoy just the ice cream and strawberry.

Balik ajer..tadaaaa.. i gave the house a new coat of paint..i spray ajer,more convenient.

Nice isn;t it..they got a new wooden ladder too..i bought from the pet shop.

This cute bird nest i got from the shop..after dah puas mintak tambah kurangkan harga..tak dapat banyak i pun mintak this birdnest:)

Hullooooo..who's that inside?

Red eyed Heart:)

Papa pun dah kemaskan dan tighten the net by putting screw metal into the ground.The reason why kita tak nak permanent fixture is if at anytime we want to dismantle it we can do so.

So itu lah project new year ni..giving happiness to living things;)

Bunga2 pun dah di baja and di gemburkan.hope to get few more pots from nursery tomorrow.

While i buat kerja the girls non stop meloncat sana sini..it was a hot day today so i cut for them few oranges..it is their favorite.

Main rabbit,usik itu ini..handwash kena lah ada sentiasa kat garden sink.

Orange time!

I cooked early dinner..since uwan balik kampung kejap..lamalah dapur kita tak bau masak lomak hee..hee.

Since there are many tomatoes which they picked in Cameron i made my own recipe using fresh tomatoes..after i make the pasta sauce,i fried the corn beef..after bathing the pasta with sauce i put the fried corn beef on top..delicious!

If masak pasta memang tak problem makan..kalau rice kena lah keliling meja menyuapkan.

Well..it is time to say good night now..Ribbon&Heart has lavender scented tea candle to keep them warm and soothing at night..sleep tight ya hunny bunny:)

To my dear hb..thank you very much for everything..i have many childhood dreams&wishes inside me..you made it possible for me:):)

Home and Garden.

2011-12-29T10:21:00.000-08:00

Hi folks:) Borak session is at the end of this entry ya:)

We welcome Ribbon and Heart at our home today.The original Ribbon was lost few months back,the girls and Uwan miss her a lot, today i took the three of them to Pet Shop and we bought these two furry cuties:)

Tia and Mia are really happy,uwan too infact:):)

I asked husband whether he has any carpentries skills..he said "of course!"..well if you say so let's find some wood and roof and build ribbon and heart's home together:):) i would love to do that..when i was small my abah was very handy,he can build bangsal,reban ayam,pagar and many,many things.And it is always nice to see the result even if he made a simple bench for our garden.The best handwork that i really love was a rose arch..he built an arch and my emak planted country roses at the base,after few months we have roses bushes crawling the arch..the roses were pink and had sweet smell,it was really lovely..if i close my eyes i can still smell the sweet scent:)

he,he i finally can upload and edit pictures using my Macbook Air now..thank you to Ikin,she came this evening and gave me an extensive tutorial:) I love my Mac more now..scrolling,editing, is so much easier and fun:):) I love this vignette effect..you gonna see more of it after this.

This entry is very much about garden..if you don't like gardening and planting you gonna be bored to death! her..heee.We bought bitter gourd(peria katak) and angled loofa (petola) seeds from Cameron so we gonna grow it today. I always love gardening and i feel that planting&growing bring wonderful feeling and satisfaction. I want Tia Mia to develop this hobby and they have showed a very good sign.

We started with transferring Hyacinthus into bigger pot..i have a big challenge here since few readers are looking forward to the result:) Shamsuhada..harap2 den punya Hyachintus ni hidup and boleh bagi "recipe" kat kau:):)

The two getting ready to plant the seeds:):)

I taught them step by step on how to put soil in the pot,making hole in the middle etc,etc..as we going through it i told them few things about gardening like cactus cannot be watered everyday as they retain water in their body,plants need sun for making their own food and like any other living things they need to be love and cherish too:):).

Both are good at planting,they are fast learners:)

Our garden is not big but we have enough space to do our activities.

Hyachintus already been transferred into bigger pot,i have put some fertilizers and it needs to be watered twice a day.

Mia watering the pots.

Tia with her bitter gourd seeds.

Okay Tia..now make a small hole and put the seeds inside,keep apart each seed from one another.

Seeds and special fertilizers already in the pot.

Mia watering the ivy.

Now all ready,hope it will bear good result in few weeks time.

These are the mini cactus we bought from CH:)

And they found home near our garden sink.

Done with garden.let's go inside and see what need to be change..cuti gonna end soon..so better do alih mengalih,tukar menukar now;)

Kitchen got a new green floor mat and table cloth.

The table cloth was from British Homes before they closed down..tersorok lama in the wardrobe..so made a point to change the kitchen table cloth today.

Rack at the back needs some tidying and cleaning too.

Even ini pun kena kemas kan..i suka tengok bawang,kentang simpan dalam rattan basket in pullout cabinet but my present small kitchen don;t allow me to have it..i once had it at the sold house,one day if i have an island in the kitchen i will make sure to have the pullout rattan basket.

I bought many potted plants from Ikea yesterday..the stove got a pot too:):)

And a white pot for the kitchen table.

Actually i ve been wanting to replace my sofa in the bedroom for a long time as it is very old and worn out already.But it is not easy to dispose an old furniture at my area..so i decided to give it a little facelift:)

Yesterday i bought a RM19.90 green blanket from Ikea and gave the sofa a nice wrap:):) It gave an instant refreshing look.This sofa holds many memories; it was our pride and joy when were just got married, it witnessed me sang rhymes and read babies books when Tia Mia were babies..few years back every morning without fail before i go to office i will sit on the sofa with Tia and Mia on my right and left lap and read book to them.So this old lady need a facelift and is saved by Ikea blankie;):)

One whole day doing 'home and garden'..now time to layan tummy..as ikin was in the house today i cooked fish curry with CH eggplant,mixed veges soup and sardines with petai:)

Walaupun Home and Garden entry i just wanna show a korean jubah i bought for myself while shopping baju for uwan today:) Nice isn't it? I met an elderly lady at the shop,she was buying baju for herself so she told me that i will look nice in this dress as i have the 'height'..she was very friendly and went on seeking my advice on the blouse and pant that she's going to buy:):)

Okay lah that's about it ..today's garden tips;wash all your garden tools after using ,keep it together in either a box or basket so that it will be easier for you to use it next time.

Papa is not working tomorrow and we have promised these two sunshines to go see Alvin and The Chipmunks.If the plan is on this will be their first trip to cinema,Ikin has recommended Gold Class at GSC,she said the package includes food (sandwiches,popcorns,drinks and blanket) there will be very small audience in 1 cinema.It is quite pricey as it priced at RM40.00 + RM10.00 = RM50.00 per head...but it is quite tempting to give a try..let see tomorrow whether we can get a place;):)

Salam to the twins nyza/mummy miqhael- i hope you two have a wonderful time at CH:):),farrah- you love petai too...sedap kan,busuk pun biarlah:), i read yr hong kong entry,kinda miss hong kong pulak:);),Susumanis- thank you,may all of us be blessed by Allah sbt Amin:), Aida78-selamat mencuba ya, Sitiebby- painting is good to help children express their feelings,selamat mencuba ya, Fiezachommel- amin,amin:);), makdara TERdiva- so true bak kata org nak melentur buluh biar lah dari rebungnya:), Lady of Leisure- you so pakar bab memasak and petai ni..lucky Aman dapat lovely mommy like you..so true petai jeruk ni makan dengan apa pun sedap.Seronok balik melaka kan lady macam2 benda boleh beli kat tepi jalan tu;), daydeck86- itu dah semestinya and we must be proud of our roots,without roots pokok pun tumbang:):), Dila- selamat memasak di hujung minggu ya, Annhuzi- thanks so much for your good words, i can see "happiness' in you for the past few entries,words are the expressions of feeling,happy heart will give happy words:), mamalisa- i couldn't figure out how they boleh makan budu with tempo yak..he,he my PIL pun sama but bila i buat budu tarok cili,bawang,asam limau they sangat suka makan jugak:), Zeta- tarok petai dlm mask kicap?? wahh that's really awesome:), Salmi-petai bakar? yup mabeles,mabeles:) ,mamasya-CH pun banyak perubahan now,more development compared dulu2,mamasya pun peminat petai ya;), Sarah Kalam- yesss,make it as resolution:) tak kira lah pita masak apa farah to our kids it's still the best;), Mommyct- happy cooking ya,kalau you beli rempah tandoori,ada chicken,yoghurt boleh lah bust tandoori::), twins mom- mesti your twins suka kalau dapat tu:), ibunurin the cooking set tu boleh beli kat children section near tempt yang selalu they letak blocks,train for children to play tu..each set is priced at RM49.00, Nur Raihana- masa dulu semua macam tu kan..kenangan palng manis buat kita, Shamsuhada,ye ke datang ikea,napa tak call?i pun bukan selalu pergi jugak sham:), mamalisa,betul tu grab itu ini tak tau jer bill melambung kan, Haneem - memang special bunga china kan kelopak tebal dan wangi,bila tarok dalam segelas air,air tu pun boleh jade wangi jugak tau:) sekarang memang tak ada dah;(, afid- sama2;), CikaYu- salam ukhwah di balas ukhwah;), firuz- kalau girl ramai abang memang macam tu tapi nanti the feminine side will appear soon;, Saniah- bunga china bukan kembang china,sebab bunga china kelopak tahan lama berhari-hari ,daunnya ada sedikit getah,teringin jugak nak tengok kembang china tu;)

2011-12-28T07:08:00.000-08:00

Salam All:) We borak in the next entry ya.. i am so tired today but stilled ada cerita ceriti sikit2:):)p.s wahhh banyaknya peminat petai yaa..he..hee nanti kita buat Petai Fan Club..:))

Good Morning to a beautiful morning..it is nice to see roses on your bedroom sink by the mirror:) Wish to have a garden fulled with blooms and whenever you want to have bouquet of flower on your table,you just pick it.When i was small my emak used to put "bunga cina" yang wangi in our room..kalau ingatkan balik that bunga cina so cantik,the petal was thick and wangi..nowadays tak ada lagi rasanya.

Today i left the two kenits at home:) i went out for lunch at 11.30 with two special "kakaks"..the two insisted nak makan kat "Muhibbah Restaurant" TTDI..the restaurant dah pindah tempat ke a single building kat Kampung Sungai Penchala..i left my car at office and wait for Datin kakak to fetch me in her Mercz:):) seronok lah sekali sekali the kakak datang fetch and layan2 me;);)So this is a new setting for Muhibbah..quite nice kan.

Now the theme colour is green unlike at TTDI dulu the typical alas meja merah.

Kalau nak buat wedding reception kat sini pun boleh.

We ordered our favourite deep fried sotong.

Kak M asked me to order so i ordered my favourite kerabu pucuk paku.

Kambas (big bitter gourd) goreng telur masin.

siakap with ginger plus cockels in chillies and sangkong tofu..tak ingat makan lah kita orang:)

After berborak,bergossip,ketawa hingga keluar air mata we pun balik..and me singgah kat Ikea..cuci2 mata kejap..kalau dengan TiaMia susahlah nak belek2 barang;):)

Kat ikea ni tengok benda2 simple dia pun best;)

Simple and cosy.

After beli two chopping boards,some green plants,TiaMia's drawing paper,cooking set,towels etc,etc..yeap at ikea kalau pergi always lah the etc,etc tu entah apa yang di beli tengok murah angkut jugak..kaki pun penat..stopped at The Baker..Tia Mia suka sandwich kat sini..so penat and haus i boleh sedut drink ni dalam sekelip mata..heee..heee

Sandwiches ready; nama semua canggih- Norwegian flying Salmon for TiaMia,Flying Shrimp with eggs for mama and special beef salami for papa..it costed me RM33 for sandwiches;);)

Demi anak..berkorbanlah menolak dua balloon pink ni ke sana sini;);)Dia dah specify in details " we want a dark pink heart shapes helium balloon with purple flower at the bottom,we want the one with string attached to a coin:"..so mama pun pi lah cakap kat lady balloony tu the exact words;):)

Balik rumah they terlompat-lompat happy penat pun hilang..i bought this white pot from Ikea..nice kan...the fern pun from ikea.

Ann tanya tempat letak remote control ni;) ni hadiah dari a blogger friend ;Ita and 4Kes,it is copper and she bought a few for me from UK since dia tahu i suka copper.

and i bought this cute plant stand too.

Not so sure whether this hyacinthus bulbs will bear blooms in the end but i took a chance and bought two..nanti esok nak pindahkan dalam bigger pot..hopefully will sampai keluar bunga.

Ivy is cheap at ikea compared to nursery so i bought a few..ivy pun jenis susah nak hidup jugak..they need a place to crawl.

The girls dapat banyak benda jugak..since mama teringat zaman kecik2 main masak2 dulu..the mama pun seronok lah membeli cooking sets yang comel ni dari ikea.

Very sweet ceramic bowl set..the girls kena bagi tanggungjawab untuk jaga the set.

Tiny steels pots and pans plus the whisk,spatula etc etc.

Seronok lah budak dua orang ni..dulu2 my zaman i main kat bangsal my father..so boleh lah buat semak,basah macam2..tak pun main dalam pondok buat sendiri sangat seronok bila my emak beli kan set masak2..tak boleh cerita bangga nya nak tunjuk kawan2 masa tu;):)

So it was tea for two for both this evening.

Berhutang recipe dengan salah seorang reader this grilled chicken.Actually ni recipe i cipta sendiri saja which sedap i rasa.Ayam boleh di potong2 atau belah dua atau seekor cuma pastikan ianya mesti lah betul2 fresh..tak ada lebam,dah tak ada darah etc.Kalau sekor atau half,kelar2 lah ayam tu..dah tu tumbuk sedikit halia,bawang putih dalam satu atau dua labu,bawang merah,dan lada hitam,tumbuk kasar2,campur garam,yoghurt dan olive oil..dah tu lumur seluruh ayam termasuk bawah2 kulit ayam tu..psiahkan dengan jari kulit dari daging masa nak lumur tu..kalau ada masa perap lah kejap macam 1/2 hour kalau tak der masa..masuk ajer lah dalam oven yang dah di panaskan ke 200 degress..bila ayam nampak dah garing sikit kat luar turunkan temperature to 150 biar lah lama2 sikit hingga betul2 masak.Why kita terus dengan api panas,supaya bahagian luar terus masak dan juice dalam ayam tak sempat keluar,kalau api perlahan,semua juice keluar dan ayam jadi kering dan tak sedap.

Style ni ayam boleh jadi lauk dengan nasi aatu makan macam tu ajer;)..huishhh petai tetap nak enterframe kan;)

Siapa yang ada bertanya Princess Griller ni..kalau dah beli boleh lah cuba menu yang simple tapi sedap ni.

Menu ni guna wholemeal pita bread..senang ajer potong roti pita into two i.e jadi pocket,buatkan inti dengan tumis mince meats dengan bawang,parsley hingga wangi.Masuk kan dalam pita dengan berselang seli cheddar cheese..sapu butter pada kedua dua belah roti..dah tu bakar hingga atas bawah jadi kuning macam ni.

Sangat sedap makan masa panas,masa cheese masih meleleh..

Kalau rajin buat lah bake potato..dah amsak belah dua bubuh sour cream and kalau ada lebih mince meat tu boleh tabur kat atas..hmmm i love sour cream with baked potato very very very the very much:):)

Pada yang bertanya macam mana nak buat jeruk petai..sangat lah senang..tak payah pakai cuka atau apa2..cuma perlu rebus petai sampai kulit jadi soft sikit dan boleh picit petai tu keluar..nak dapat jeruk yang bagus petai mestilah betul2 tua..dah picit semua isi keluar basuh sikit..dan masukkan dalam botol..bubuh air masak dan garam..garam janganlah terlalu banyak,nanti dia jadi kecut and masin sangat pun tak best..tutup botol rapat and after a week boleh lah makan.

So selamat memasak pada semua..p.s i love this french kitchen with its hanged copper very very much..i sangat suka copper.

Nite,nite;) Yang nak pergi bercuti esok ke CH atau kemana saja drive safely ya and have a wonderful holiday.

When yesterday no more and today so much more:)

2011-12-27T09:11:00.000-08:00

Salam;):) Tonite..different style a bit,will answer all comments at the end of this entry;) Why? because a lil bit feeling2..yesterday no more and today so much more;)

Chatted with an old friend today and made a lunch appointment for 3 of us tomorrow:) Well the friend is more like kakak than friend..Kak M dah pun Datin but i stilled call her kakak.These two people are quite special in my life,kenal mula2 masuk my present company dulu..it was long ago but the feel was just like yesterday. See, i like to befriend people much older than me;) belajar banyak with these two kakaks,yang baik buat teladan dan yang tak baik buat sempadan.Funny thing,hb pun sama,masa bujang kawan dia pun orang2 tua and that took him to many interesting places like Bosnia,Croatia,Somalia,South Africa etc.Can't believe that we are entering 2012 soon,i feel 2000 was not so far away..can still remember the sibuk2 about the new millenium..suddenly it was 12 years ago..My, that was so long..time is like the flowing river..it passes you without stopping,no trace and there's no way to hold it..if you didn't do anything while it still there..it will go in a split second.How to carve memories when it passes you? To keep the flowing water alive..grow something while it passes you..that something will be with you forever as when yesterday no more,today will be so much more.

One of the kakak that i am going to meet tomorrow has colourful life..many ups and many downs too..at one point of time,i wrote a story about her,i showed her the synopsis..she was so impressed,we wanted to film her life story,wanted to take her friend the famous lady director to direct it(berangan lah masa tu dah) but due to her position and people that involved in her life we didn't proceed;)The one thing i learnt..siapa diri kita sekarang adalah kerana siapa diri kita dahulu..that is why history is important..don't judge somebody without knowing her or his history..sejarah yang keras buat hati manusia jadi keras jugak..kalau tak di baja yang terus keras kadang2 patah,sesat atau hilang:( Jadi kita yang tak ada sejarah keras,kita yang Alhamdulillah di bajai kasih dan sayang selalu haruslah selalu bersyukur..ada orang terpaksa mengemis,terpaksa menyakiti demi dalam percubaan mendapat sedikit kasih dan sayang.

Okay lah habis celoteh..today cuti lagi..terasa sangat seronok bila membuka mata pagi tadi..ehhh cutilahhh..dah buat apa yang patut,..terus tidur balik...syok,syok terlajak until 7.30 hb kejutkan dan cakap " i ll go beli roti canai ye"..kesian dia,dia kerja today..so i pun bingkas ke dapur potong lemang yang beli kat R&R semalam,masuk dalam oven,panaskan rendang.etc,etc naik balik ke bilik..Tia Mia masih tergolek golek tak bukak mata;):) Kadang2 cuti bukan nak buat apa sangat just nak duduk2 rumah tak buat apa..itu yang bliss nya:):)

Bukan selalu dapat duduk atas sofa waktu 11.00 pagi baca magazine atau tengok TV..so today macam pejam2 mata nak dapat nikmat tu..tu lah kalau dah lama duduk rumah nanti orang cakap tak larat pulak kan:):)

Tak kira lah tengok Channel apa,tengok TVIQ pun biar lah..yang penting..yeahhh it is 12.00 and i can still sit on my sofa;):):)..ehhh where;s the girls..how come tak kacau mama?

Haaa..haaa tu dia..kena kerah buat kerja..kesian ke..tak payah kesian tau..they dah main macam2 since morning..kecik2 pun kena lah latih jugak..kalau kat school pandai after buat mess mesti clean up..kat rumah pun mesti lah sama..to me you can have fun,can play macam2 but you must clean up lepas tu..ada maid pun tak boleh lah semua tak tahu tanggungjawab..so dah main2 masak2 berkilo2 potong daun..haaa sekarang kemas okay;);)

Haaa..haaa uwan dah siap buat petai jeruk..dua balang dapat..menggiurkan tak..susu manis tanya..tak bau ke mulut makan petai ni? and apa petua nak hilangkan bau? adoii kelakar sikit soalan ni tau..macam pandai kentut pandai simpanlah(ehh betul ke tu?)..makan tengoklah keadaaan..nak meeting,nak jumpa orang janganlah makan..saya hanya makan kat rumah sahaja kalau teringin..dah tu clorets,listerine kan ada;)) and petua orang tua2 dah tu makan lah terung mentah etcetc..tapi yang paling afdal nak hilang bau...haaa makan durian after that,..durian lagi menang bau dari petai..boleh lah cuba hembus nafas kat kucing after that if kucing tak pening lalat..maksudnya okaly lah tu*wink*wink*

Cik kak dua orang ni macam2 activity dia buat..nak paint bagi lah paint,nak draw go ahead..nak makan,no problem mama will cook;);)

Today is freestyle painting..no tajuk,tak payah sketch dgn pencil dulu..whatever comes to mind first will be painted on the paper;)

Hari ni lauk semua barang dari CH kecuali the fish..gulai ikan kembung dengan tomato dan petai..ehh petai lagi..haaa selagi ado;);)sangat sedap tau..nafas belakang kira;);)ohh ya Maya Marissa my mom pun suka gulai petai dengan kulit2 tu..dia cakap lagi sedap..nanti i jenguk your blog:)

Jagung manis from CH.

Petang by 5.30 i dah habis masak..cuaca kat luar pun hujan..naik atas bawak sebalang Chipsmore kat Tia Mia..berkhemah depan TV atas dengan Hot..ishhh blissnya rasa Hot macam Kim Kardashians..heee..heee..tak berapa hot bila tak sengaja tertengok email..nampak email from Big boss..suruh pi attend kursus..jawab ajer lah " i ll do the necessary Dato'"..tapi dalam hati..kihh..kihhhh..

Finally..yesterday no more..today so much more..2000 was just like yesterday..it is no more there but i managed to grow and carve memories when it passed..( ishhh kurusnya masa dulu...kena letak petai jauh2 ni kalau tak sedap selera makan nasi;);)..dulu sambut new millenieum 2000 in Paris..hujan pun tetap berpayung nak bergambar depan Mr Eiffel)

Salammmm:):) How's everybody doing? Wish everybody had a wonderful and blessed long weekend especially- potpetmama,daydeck86,mummymiqhael,farah,syida&amp,Faiz,Annhuzi,Sweetmom,Salmi,Lady of Leisure,sitiebby,cacah,Hanis,twinsmom,susumanis,yatiyahya,Dila,shahid,afid,mamalisa,daddylicious Salam kenal bagi yang menghulur salam and of course i don't mind those reading in silent..i love to do that sometimes *wink*wink.

Macam orang lain bila ada cuti panjang sikit,mula lah fikir mana nak bawak budak2 holiday kan.Both me and husband tak really fancy going to the Theme Park,sometimes for the sake of the two girls bawak lah jugak yang dekat2 but we prefer going to a place where we can just relax:) Compared to shouting and screaming on a roller coaster we prefer to just relax by the beach with a hot coffee or sit on a bench in a park with a mug of hot chocolate.I guess me and husband dah tua lahh..we love orang2 tua punya holiday style..hee..hee..:) Since the girls have been following us on holiday since they were small they appreciate our style too,they love park,beach and nature very much..they enjoy looking at butterfly,milipede,bug,insect and to read books under the tree.

Then kat Malaysia ni kebanyakan tempat menarik mesti kita dah pergi lebih dari sekali ..especially a place like PD,Cameron Highlands,Langkawi or Penang..but we dont mind going to a same place for few times as to us there's a different between holiday for relaxing or visiting..kalau nak relax we can go to the same place we like for few times..we just relax with the loved ones while doing some light activities..while visiting is a different story..we go to new place to do sightseeing.

This Christmas holiday we decided to go Cameron Highlands,kalau dah pergi more than twice tak lah banyak benda baru nak di tengok..however,we still find it lovely especially this time around the weather was really cold and nice.Due to the late booking we didn't have much option on the hotel,our choice was always Strawberry Park but this time we had to opt for Century Pines Resort, i ve read some mixed reviews at the tripadvisors website..well the hotel is old and they are just 4 stars..but we don't really mind as long as it clean,spacious with all the basic necessities,..should not be complaining too much if the price is reasonable.

We booked a Duplex Suite as i had Uwan in mind when we first booked it,since Uwan ikut pakcik kenduri and bercuti di Perak,we went without Uwan.We have many pictures here..so just get ready to yawn *wink*wink.Unfortunately they were snapped using my Iphone..i misplaced my tiny Canon and until today i couldn't find it;(

In the car..killing the time..it was jammed badly,by 1.00pm we haven't reach Tapah yet.We stopped at R&R for toilet break and we had to q for 15 mins to go into the toilet,once we managed to squeeze into the toilet..Tia tak nak pulak do her "business" because the toilet was dirty and she had to squat...poor Tia.Lucky i brought a big container of pasta with us,we stopped by the road side and had our lunch..everybody makan banyak betul..after kenyang we continued our journey..we didn't complaint much as we know this is a festive season and we are fully aware of the jam.

We reached Bharat Tea Plantations at 4.00pm..dah banyak kali tengok pun to me they are stilled awesome...penat pun hilang;)

This is the best snap that my Iphone could capture..not bad yaa;):)

Mr Bharat and family are millionaires now by growing tea..all the valley belongs to them.

We reached Century Pines Resort at 4.30pm..the weather was really nice,it was cold, breezy and really refreshing.

The Duplex was spacious,the building itself is old but the room was clean,the floor was fully laminated with good furnitures inside.

The lower floor has kitchenette and big screen with separate bathroom plus sofa bed.

Now lets see the upper floor and find out whether the bed is big enough for 4 of us;)

Even the bed was not that canggih can't match Shangrila Sydney but it was biggg enough and conformed to the "Super Kingsize" standard..the room was spacious and clean too..nothing to complaint.

The room was looking to the forest and the air that comes from the window was really fresh.

Hellooo..somebody taking picture of the makeup table.

These two pi mana2 pun mesti lah nak berendam..but it was really good after that they will be fully recharged and can walk miles;):)

Okay,we have to leave the tempting bed with the tempting weather and go out to look around first.

Tanpa bukak air cond pun we rasa macam dalam aircond set at 18 c-15 ,i think this is the coldest so far kat Cameron Highlands.

Walaupun dah lunch..dua orang ni dah mandi lapar balik..so bukak bekal pasta mama.

Uishhh..must be really sedap mama masak ni..hee..heee

Tia pulak dah siap bukak sofa bed..dan melayan botol susu sambil tengok Nick Junior.

Dah makan we turn lobby..jalan2..the lobby was quite grand but the Interior Design cant really made up his mind on the style..macam English tapi penuh dengan carvings macam Bali jugak;);)

Outdoor sitting area.

The two dah bersiap sedia nak tour the area.

There's a big playground opposite the hotel..so we took the two there since dah petang and tak nak go far.

Then dua ni seronok lah tengok benda2 ni..

Giant Oranges.

The Giants and the Tiny:)

After dah main2 sikit we walked to the nearest eating place,we decided to try street food instead of eating in the hotel..this place is called Hill Top..banyak jugak mat salleh makan kat sini.

I ordered nasi daun pisang..sejuk2 rasa nak makan curry:)

The lauk semua sedap and the masala tea that costed RM1.80 was equally good like the one at Bharat that cost RM8 per mug;)

Malam we jalan kaki balik Hotel..rasa sedap ajer sebab sejuk and the girls pun enjoy the walk.

We then met Santa at the Lobby;)

After Santa gave "Mammee" to each,we took picture with him;)

The lobby pun cantik malam2 with the chritsmas tree.

Activity before going to bed.

Duplex comes with free breakfast for 4..we decided to sit outside..which was a bit too cold in the morning.

Plate for Tia/Mia

Bowl for mama.

lepas breakfast..we drove around to find strawberry picking farm for the girls..unfortunately this time semua strawberry farm..dah picked the fruits and sembur ubat for the farm..so tak lah boleh pick..tak nak hampa kan the girls..we carik jugak lagi..until we found ada farm tersorok kat bukit di belakang bangunan..bila papa drive naik..it was really highhhhhhhh...rasa macam naik bangunan KLCC pakai kereta..dah lah depan kereta banyak and jam..so semua kena break..bau engine hangit and ada kereta nak jatuh kebelakang..i was like really menyesal..walaupun husband relax..but me memang takut high..to me orang bagi RM5K suruh i drive naik pun tak kan nakkkk...but berberbaloi lah jugak "adventure' tu sebab naik kat atas tu ..it was like "ohhhhh...uhhhhhhhh" so nice with many2 things.

Salah satunya..it is the only place(yg i tahu) ada grapes dan berbuah banyak..so heaven to jalan2 bawah grapesvines dengan buah tergantung2.

Walaupun muda and kecik lagi..but we were really happy to see it in malaysia;)

Sebab tinggi jenuh lah me terjengket-jengket nak ambik gambar guna Iphone;)

The two ni jenguk ajer lah strawberry tapi tak boleh pick.

Selain tu like any other place in CH..cactus banyak lah sana sini..it was sold at 6 for RM10 here..rambanglah mata tia mia.

Since we couldn't pick strawberry..we decided to let the girls pick the tomato..it was priced at RM7 per kg..okay lah jimat lagi dari strawberry;)

Many big red tomatoes to be picked..good lesson for the girls.

Tia sangat happy nak pick tomatoes.

The two small farmers ready to pick the tomatoes.

Happy;)

Yeahhh i got it!

Satisfied.

Chrsysantemum@Dahlia.

Dah penat picked tomatoes..we went to the cafe and mama belanja Strawberry Chocolate Fondue.

The girls enjoying themselves.

Yumm yummm

We bought some strawberries to bring back home too.

As usual mesti ada cenderahati for the girls..it was the Strawberry Umbrellas.

Arrived hotel at 3pm..inilah yang Tia Mia pilih tadi...after mandikan the girls i sent both to take nap..sebab nanti malam nak keluar dinner..kalau tak nanti malam ngantuk cranky and we can't enjoy our dinner.

While the girls took a nap with papa..i had some times for myself..i took a warm bath in the tub lama2..i always do this when travelling..boleh hilang penat,stress and feel rejuvenated;);)..kalau tak kita kaum2 ibu memang penat bila holiday ni..nak sedia kan itu ini..so kena find cara to unwind;);)

Malam we went out for steamboat...we found one halal shop..nasib baik ada tempat without reservation,,,quite popular tempat ni..

Tak sah kalau tak steamboat di CH sebab sayur semua fresh..macam watercrest ni so sedap masuk dalam sup.

The steamingboat;);)

Both enjoyed the dinner very much..they happy,makan banyak..tak buat kerenah and we had a very good dinner together..macam keluar dengan buddies..gelak2 cerita macam2;)

Dah dinner we balik hotel..berenti kat lobby tunggu kalau2 santa keluar bawak titbits lagi..yeahhh he came out and we dapat some titbits.

And the ultimate reason going to CH for the girls is to go to the butterfly farm..so the next morning we drove to Brinchang..jam pun we bersabar lah jugak.

Macam the last visit both sangat happy masuk dalam butterfly farm..they simply love the butterfly;)

The butterfly loves them too;)

Tia and the beauty.

Mia with the Wings.

happy.

Double happiness;)

Butterfly everywhere...on the jacket.

On the pants;)

it was a good trip to butterfly farm.

there were some giant cactus in the farm too.

Rabbits.

and snail that looks like escargot;)

The last stop before heading back to hotel and check out was mushroom farm..here, they allow you to selfpick.

We went inside to pick,it was price at RM18 per kg.

Tia with giant mushroom.

Mia was good at picking too;)

Budak jaga tu was quite impress Tia Mia boleh pick dengan bagus;)

There's many lovely mushroom here..the yellow ones is expensive but sedap.

They have Sunkist Oranges too.

We balik hotel..after check out we pun siap2 balik..by bye CH..bye bye Century Pines.

Balik rumah Uwan pun dah sampai and our maid bought these for Tia Mia..she bought from Perak...cute kan.

Balik ajer we bukak durian for everybody..these 3 lah paling suka durian.

Hasil tangkapan dari kampung orang asli..esok cuti boleh rebus buat jeruk..hee..heee..tapi orang asli pun now pandai jual barang2 mahal.

lauk simple yang membuka selera malam ni..walaupun penat tapi masih jugak lah masak sikit...sup cendawan pungut sendiri,goreng ikan bilis Cameron Highlands dengan petai dan cili Cameron Highlands plus kari terung cameron highlands campur ikan masin talang beli kat tepi jalan di Perak..pergggghhh..hilang segala penat..esok until next Monday cuti..yeayyyyyyyy..sangat happyy,, macam2 boleh buat ni..taaaa..taaaa..nite,nite..ishhh ada orang larat tak baca cerita panjang lebar saya ni..macam ikut saya naik Cameron 3 hari 2 malam jugak kan..cuma tak rasa sejuk ajer..heee..hee Salammm;)

A Blue Kitchen.

2011-12-23T06:46:00.001-08:00

Hulloooo....my mama asked me to say Big Thank You to everybody,she appreciates all comments,encouragements,good words...she read every single words and she looked at everybody's profiles,so she kinda know you all,new and old readers..so she said "Salam to Ladies and Gentlemen".She is a bit busy today..well she always a bit busy:):)..so she can't answer much but she will answer 2 questions first: 1. She bought Beras Bubur Herba Ponni Faiza at One Utama Cold Storage,it is at the same row with the pastas and placed next to ketupat segera,pulut siam etc. 2. The big griller/toaster was bought at Parkson One Utama,the brand is "Princess" and price at RM400++

Today my mama is not working..wahhh i am so glad that mama is home, my school holiday has started and i am so bored..i asked mama to send me to school but she said the school is close. My mama said my teacher Claire has gone back to her hometown to fetch her mama for Christmas,teacher Claire's mama is an aborigine and live in Aborigines Village in Pahang,while her dad is a British and most of her aunts and other relatives from her father's side life in UK.When we go to Cameron tomorrow my mama will show me the aborigine village.Ehh..i forgot to tell everybody about the above picture:):) my mama made me pondok2..she's not really happy with the fact that me and my sister always looking at tab,iPhone,bb all the time,she said that is not cool at all..playing pondok2 is more cool!

Indeed it is cool and cold as she place a fan next to us:) She said when she was small she made pondok from batang ubi,daun kelapa and pisang..she pounded the biskut kering,mixed it with water and turned it into a dough..wahhh my mama was very creative,she kinda a creator to playdough!! My mama loves outdoor life,when she was small she loves to read book under the tree,in the bushes or on the river bank,she always keep a mat outside the house.She loves to draw and grow veges..no wonder i love drawing too i am not sure about growing veges but i sure love to eat it:):) We had a great pondok2 day today..mama let us play for long.

We played masak2 and cikgu2..mama said i don't have to spend money to play this game..it is natural and promotes our creativity.

Evening; mama took us to "doodles park"..we had a great time there and papa joined us for dinner at Mc D.

Oppss my mama said must tell about uwan..otherwise people will ask,where is uwan,where is uwan? wahhh uwan has fan too..this is too much uwan..you are more popular than us:):) Well not to worry..My Uwan went to berlibur ,my pashik took uwan and our maid to kenduri in Perak, they gonna stay at Homestay for 2 nites and jalan2 makan durian after that.So this morning Uwan and Heni was so happy ..they were like going for school outing,giggling while packing and changed clothes for few times..Heni of course is happy because she is free from all the mess that i usually make for 3 days and 2 nights.Hope they enjoy the adult retreat.

Some how this morning while talking during breakfast our pashik mentioned about our old house which was sold.My mama as usual nostalgia lah..so tonite she looked at the old pictures again,that was me in the picture, i was younger at that time ..haaaa..haaa..as if i am 5o years now right:); that is our outdoor area with oven and chimney. Mama spent so much time renovating this house, those oven tiles and stones were handpicked by her, she sat with our contractor and explained to him about her idea.It was a nice place but Allah Swt has better plan for us:) Insyallah.

Mama teringat her breakfast nook there..she remembers her french blue kitchen cabinet..

Mama loves this deep and large ceramic sink and copper tap..it costed her a lot..

Mama said the lightings in the house was her best pick..she toured the whole town before picking the final lightings..well it is okay mama,as you said Allah Swt has better plan for us..don't worry i do have money you know..you can take my money and build your dream house..waitttt..let me go and count first,..one,two,three...ahhhh i have RM12.50..is it a lot mama? Now give me a kiss first..as that is the most precious to me..no matter where we life as long as we are together i am happy.taaa..taaa and good nite.p.s mama said must say Bismillah first:):)

Invisible Love.

2011-12-21T09:15:00.000-08:00

No more gundah gulana:):)I closed one small episode,i welcome the new one with open heart:):)

Dear Invisible sister at heart,salam to you too:) I had her in my mind when listening to Capital FM that day, sebab the voice sounded familiar, we only get to know each other briefly but i couldn't agree more with you-she made people around her feel good. First time I met her when i was sent to give talk on Copyright at 7 Glenmarie,she was very attentive,trying to absorb as much information as possible.The last project with her was World Cup she always checked every single promos yang nak keluar with me, very cooperative,tak perasan bila she left 7. Itu lah life kan..it can be beautiful,meaningful if we work hard for it but the basis for happiness is sincerity- she said she moved to her parents in law's house because they just lost a son,that's very touching,not many can do that kan..she definitely not selfish:):) And to you Invisible sister at heart; you write beautifuly tonight, for that i thank you and may us be blessed always by Allah Swt.

Julie Aberdeen dearie, You have cheered me up..thank you so much,i can smell that newly cut woods from your neighbourhood,the busy chimney in this cold season and pines covered with snowflakes...so we become sister with the same interest:):)

To aeinio- terima kasih,so true itulah kehidupan kan,kalau tak, tak cukup asam garam pulak kan, Sitiebby-thank you datang melawat:) harapnya kita dapat lah berkongsi ilmu yang sedikit ini kan,mekjangok- tu lah,menulis ni perlu dari hati,Lady of Leisure- you are my sister at tummy and heart sebab hati kita suka bila dapat makan daging salai:):)Gown masa birthday last June tu lady,asyik nak mintak pakai balik i tak hantar2 dry clean:):) Saniah- terima kasih banyak,even baru berjumpa you kat blog ni but you write soothing and inspirational comments,Umiyumi- tu ulam2 kat Restaurant Puteri milik Rubiah Suparman tu..saya suka makanan kampung kat situ;)

And to MommyCT,Mayonniz, Maya Marissa,Daydeck88,Syanashwa,Fiza,Salmi,Suffia,Zila,Fatimah,Potpetmama,Hanis,Shamsuhada my friend,Mummy Miqhael,Firuz,Fiezachommel,Zeta,Nur Raihana,Zaitun dan Nadiah..thank you kerana meninggalkan comments,memberi review on Century Pines,berkongsi pengalaman mengenai maid dan sebagainya..thank you again and I send my sisters and one brother (Daydeck88) the Invisible Love:)

Balik hari ni,tak sabar2 lah nak tengok budak kecik yang tak sekolah hari ni..apa agaknya yang di buat kat rumah;) I can't believe that i can become so domestic now.Last week on Friday while waiting for the office lift,a younger girl sembang2 with me,she said she's going out that night as the next day is weekend and after that she shouted to her friend over the phone " hey apa kau buat nak duduk rumah malam2 minggu ni,keluar lah beb,boring betul"..masa tu i was thinking about what to cook for breakfast the next day,whether my maid simpan cheese kat freezer atau bawah and olive oil ada ke dah habis..then i rasa alamak,aku non stop fikir benda2 domestic ni...sudah lupa apa itu keluar malam minggu;):) But i have no regret,dah di beri peluang merasa single,muda,tak payah fikir apa..now kebahagiaan dalam bentuk lain lah yang di cari.

Actually agak senang mencari kebahagiaan hati,di mulai dengan keikhlasan;) ruang hidup ni bulat,kita menghirup udara sama,menjunjung langit yang sama,memijak bumi yang sama..cari kecantikan dan kelebihan dalam setiap diri orang lain,hati kita tak boleh terletak tinggi,hidung jangan mendongak.Bila kita gembira melihat orang lain gembira..hati tak ada ruang untuk mencari yang negative.

Kadang kita amaze dengan kebaikan yang orang buat untuk kita..itu satu rezki,bukan semua orang yang mendapat peluang itu.When I was at the final stage of pregnancy and knowing that i have to go for ceaser,i asked some people where to get ikan haruan,One of my staff told her emak in Kedah about it,..so my staff punya emak ni pancingkan ikan haruan untuk i setiap hari,kadang2 dapat sekor,kadang2 dua atau tak dapat,by the time i keluar hospital,dia datang rumah and bawak haruan salai 30 ekor! Dan dia berkeras tak nak duit pun..terasa terharu sangat..sedaplah i masa tu makan ikan haruan salai goreng rangup dengan bubur..walaupun dah kurang khasiat kering tu tapi makan sampai habis mengenangkan betapa susah orang mencari kan untuk kita.

Keikhlasan hati tu buat benda2 yang magic,buat hidup lebih meriah,masa pergi Perth first time,sorang reader my blog Ibu Eriem UK,yang hanya bertegur sikit2 di blog,mintak kawan dia meet kita orang kat perth,Sharifah dengan husband dia yang baik hati ni,datang berjumpa kita orang,tak kenal langsung tapi macam saudara,bekalkan kita ikan bilis,bawak ke pasar etc,etc..dah tu habis2 mintak maaf tak dapat duduk2 lama .bersembang dan non stop tanya apa lagi boleh di bantu..so kita pun rasa indahnya kebaikan..terus rasa kita pun perlu bagi kebaikan pada orang lain jugak.

Susah mencari keikhlasan yang benar2 ikhlas..sebab yang ihlas memberi tak minta di balas- Alhanmdulillah saya masih ada kawan2 yang ikhlas tak minta di balas ni..tak ramai tapi masih ada.Kadang2 saya tak ingat pun hari2 bermaknanya,tapi hari bermakna saya dia muncul depan pintu office,siap ambik cuti sehari dengan cake dan bunga,baru post di fb anak tak berapa sihat dia dah berdiri di luar pagar dengan buah tangan..yang ini memberi tak minta di balas langsung,masa belajar di U dulu,saya tak pergi makan ke kantin pagi2,dia pergi dan pack bekal,letak di luar pintu hostel sebab tak nak ganggu saya di dalam,keluar nak mandi tengok ada bekal di luar..hingga kini kalau tiba2 dia muncul di luar gate dan saya dalam keadaan berlengas tak mandi lagi masih dapat pelukan dan ciuman darinya:):) So suweet you cippa:):):)

Insyallah di panjang-panjangkan lah keikhlasan dan kebaikan tu:)

No gundah gulana- petang ni saya masak sup kepala ikan..sedap menghirupnya musim2 sejuk ni:):) My sup kepala ikan tak pakai bunjut,cuma tumbuk lada putih,tumis bawang putih,merah,halia hiris sampai kuning,masukkan lada putih,masuk ikan gaul2 sampai hilang air.Tambah air dan biar sampai pekat.

Nak tambah selera i made terung bakar with cili asam,sangat membuka selera,bagi yang berminat mencuba,hanya perlu bakar terung di dapur arang atau gas,bakar sebelah2 dari atas sampai bawah hingga semua bahagian lembut.Tumbuk cilipadi bersama garam,bawang,merah,sedikit belacan bakar dan perah asam limau nipis.Bila terung masak pindahkan dalam pinggan,belah dua,kerat2 tanpa putus,sapukan seluruh bahan tumbuk di atasnya dengan segera untuk mengelakkan terung hitam.

Sup masak papa pun sampai..jom makan.

Ini lah team saya,kalau ada mana2 hiccups they will come to the rescue..not with ladder or tool box but with hugs and kisses;):)

Duduk mengadap laptop while waiting for parents in law to come hantar buah dokong..saya berfikir-fikir dalam hati..teringin lah nak membeli Nespresso machine..sangat suka dengan Nespresso pods ni:):)

Saya sangat suka red bricks..option paling bagus untuk buat oven house or fireplace..they are not expensive.Ini kat vacation house masa di Perth dulu.

And i drool this too..the chequered floor is so cool.

Finally one day kalau impian tercapai..saya kena buat reban ayam besar kat belakang rumah,tanam lebih banyak kangkung sebab kalau nak buat makan2 ramai Invisible sisters at heart yang nak di jemput kan:):)

Okay lah saya sangat letih..mendapat sebakul dokong segar dari ladang,2 bijik cempedak masak..saya membalas dengan menggoreng frozen keropok lekor at 11pm..Alhamdulillah rezki tengah malam namanya.

Sekarang nak tidur..esok rasanya nak cuba masak bubur herba Beras Ponni Faiza:):) Nite,Nite.

One Picture Entry.

2011-12-21T01:55:00.000-08:00

Hmmm I am looking forward to eat here again with the ladies:):)

Salam to all readers,Thank you for kind comments and reviews etc.When i have time will attend to each.

Today is just a story; basicly about people:) Sometimes we feel that we are strong, but they are many out there who is stronger than us,sometimes we think people have the same heart and thought like us but they are not,that is why 'rambut sama hitam but hati lain2" (this proverb untuk orang melayu berambut hitam ajer lah kan).

If i am not mistaken i dengar interview over Capital FM Radio ni,like a week ago.May be some of you out there dengar jugak,this lady by the name of Lotfi related her experience in life on radio sebagai motivasi pada yang lain2.Lotfi ni kahwin masa umur 20an dengan cinta hati dia sejak sekolah.Masa kahwin tu the guy dah jadi pegawai tentera,she said it was like "An Officer and A Gentleman".So masa tu Lotfi tak sambung belajar,tak kerja,she just want to be a housewife,raise kids and live happily ever after with his beloved husband. After setahun kahwin dia dapat sorang anak a girl,they sangat happy, then tak lama lepas tu she pregnant lagi, bila scan tengok boy..so both were really happy..lengkap lah hidup nanti dapat sorang puteri dan putera.

So she said,after bila dah cukup bulan bulan masa nak deliver husband dia kena sit for promotion test,the method of the test ; the husband kena masuk hutan for one hour and tak boleh bawak apa2..he got to survive on his own and try to get out from the jungle safely.So she said masa the husband nak masuk hutan tu..she dah rasa sakit2 and the baby was coming out,she called the husband and told him about it.The husband was happy but he said " alaaaa..suruh baby tunggu dulu,i nak ada kat situ jugak,i akan balik besok ajer"..So she said she told the husband macam mana nak suruh tunggu dah nak keluar sangat ni..in the end she delivered the healthy baby boy and was look forward to meet the husband the next day. The next day came,her parents datang and fetched her..so tunggu2 husband tak datang jugak,.she was a bit confused and heran pasal apa dia tak datang as promised. ( May be kalau kita ada jugak rasa merajuk kan tak pulak dia datang2 dah deliver baby and nak balik dah) .Then she was informed on the same day she delivered her baby her husband had breathing difficulty due to dehydration in the jungle, they found him motionless,took him to the hospital and he was pronouced dead. So tragic kan and Lotfi was so strong and brave.To cut the story short,she survived,never go into depression, she enrolled herself into college and continued whatever she had left...i was execited to hear the continuation of Lotfi journey but masa tu dah sampai rumah and tak sempat lah dengar.

To me Lotfi is so strong,she so tabah,dengar cerita dia macam rasa malu nak meroyan benda2 yang kecik2..but as individual we are entitled to deal with our stress in our own way...sebab yang menangis tu tak semestinya tak kuat.

Cerita lagi pasal manusia..macam2 lah ,hari ni dalam geram2 senyum2 lah bercerita dengan staff macam mana kelakuan sesetengah orang kat pejabat ni..some people is good at making people gritting their teeth.Tapi itu lah yang mewarnakan hidup:):)

Nevernya orang tak bertanya kan..nanti satu hari saya cerita pasal Amat and kaldai yang guru agama emak saya bercerita;):)..cerita pasal maid ni pun ada orang cakap..ehh dulu you cakap dia baik,you sayang,i sendiri nampak dia sangat baik blaaa..blaa now you marah pulak.Senyum sumbing lah saya..maid ni is just like part of our family..kalau anak kita pun masa dia buat salah marah lah kita..ada ibu bapa halau pun anak dia..tapi tak semestinya kita marah sampai tak beri makan berpatah arang bagai..kalau salah mesti lah kita marah kan.Tak kan hiprokrit pulak...kalau dah betul,elok balik,belajar dari kesilapan kita pun boleh lah menerimanya.

Macam my maid bila kena marah semalam tu..bila saya balik petang dia monyok lah sikit..tapi dia bukak2 store tu jugak nak tunjuk dia dah kemas..so saya diam ajer..tapi pagi ni bila saya pesan itu ini sebab bebudak tak sekolah tinggal dengan dia..dia pun terus muka cerah,senyum. Dia pun dah tahu hati budi saya..yang tak payah lah saya nak cerita kat semua orang,..susah senang dia,sakit pening dia..kita lah yang tahu.Kalau tak tahan dengan saya sejak datang sebelum Tia Mia lahir dia masih lah dengan saya dan cakap "selagi puan suka saya masih lagi mahu kerja" Setiap tahun dia balik kalau tak nak balik pun dia boleh..tapi dia balik macam holiday.,.balik bawak barang2 macam2 untuk kita orang..alas cadar,telekung,hiasan rumah..hadiah yang berbungkus cantik dari anak dia buat saya dan Tia Mia.

Blog kita ni kan buku kita...kita bagi orang baca secara percuma..jadi buku kita tempat kita meluahkan perasaan kita..ianya bukan cerita dongeng yang kena adjust sana sini..ohh hari tu aku cakap A,aku sentiasa mesti kata A..itu fairytales namanya.Dan buku kita tak lah merakamkan setiap aspek hidup kita ..sebab bukan jugak reality show Kim Kardashians yang nak tunjuk kalau ada 20 family dan 30 extended family mesti tunjuk semua..kalau tidak orang tanya why you tunjuk a,b,c ajer..mana x,z,y..dah mati ke dia, tu semua tak tunjuk...dan jugak bukannya CSI yang mesti mengemukakan semua fakta..kalau hari tu i nampak Heni buat a,b,c,d dengan tekunnya dengan baiknya..kenapa now you cakap dia tak baik..kenapa finding A tak match finding B..dan blog jugak bukannya tulisan upahan yang kita kena menggembirakan setiap orang..

Sebab itu bila saya melawat blog orang saya hormat tuan punya..dia tak pernah memaksa kita datang melawat..dia bercerita dan berkongsi gambar2 personal..saya melihat..saya suka saya komen ,saya tak suka saya tinggalkan..

My emak berpesan..kalau suami isteri bergaduh kita jangan campur tangan..kita sibuk jugak nak menghina bagai,,kalau they dah baik esok mana kita nak tunjuk muka kan.

Macam tu lah menulis blog..apa pun tak lah membuat saya sebal ..ini buku saya saya tulis lah seadanya..walaupun sambal belacan,peria katak:):):)

This past few days bila tinggal comments kat setengah orang punya blog tak boleh appear lah..hmmm:(;(

Anyway today is a chaos and gundah gulana day:);) penattnya badan dan minda..i tried to be as positive as i could but my Krakatoa erupted finally..hishh a bit drama there:)

Morning woke up a bit late due to Tia having bad cough last night and Mia couln't sleep,Mia woke up at 1.00 am and she stayed awake until 3.55 am singing and counting happily with my husband. I told her that i am going to live on the moon and she can continue singing and counting:(;( she jumped onto the bed curled up under my armpit,when i ignored her she tilted and kissed my lips and forehead like hundred times,i melted and hug her until morning.So i was late,a bit dizzy and today is a big day for the girls- they nak pergi rombongan sekolah for the first time:) I fried drummet and fries..after everything done realized that Tia couldn't eat oily food,so i had to make mushroom soup and fast toast,packed coco crunch and all the etc,etc..rushed up to get them ready.After i have doneA- Z sent the girls down and asked her to tell Heni to get their new shoes..drama pun mula,she carik tak jumpa..by the time i siap turun..kasut tak ada lagi..she pakaikan kasut lama yang sempit..i tanya mana dia cakap sebelah tak jumpa,dalam store kusut masainya ibarat mat rempit buat Formula drift..once i had cleaned up the store,put the shoes nicely,put all the hats together,she just need to maintain..but as i said before she good at kemas yang nampak2 ni yang tak nampak ni..hishh..so i pun mencarik..habis semua benda keluar except bercakap,i tak bercakap sepatah pun sebab kalau marah yang keluar nanti yang tak elok ajer..i naik carik pulak dalam cabinet,bawah almari dalam bilik dia..jam dah pukul 9.10..turun bawah carik balik,..masa tu semua asap pun dah keluar dari badan,if in a cartoon i think i will look like Thomas and Friends train;):)

Tiba2 dia carik dia jumpa dalam bekas kasut ikea kat luar,..pada hal tiap hari dia mengadap bekas kasut tu kononnya menyusun..so i cakap elok lagi.." kalau susun baik2 dalam ni senang lah nak cari" tiba2 dia menjawab..terus i meletup..kalau tanya mesti " sumpah puan enggak pernah nampak se umur hidup"...bad,bad..chaos day.

Maid ni kan,kalau cerita beribu kali tak habis cerita...nanti complaint banyak orang cakap "kalau dia cerdik tak lah jadi maid" Semalam i bagai nak rak mencari Corelle on line,nak beli direct from US murah sikit..set pinggan makan hari2 dah 4 kali tukar,chips,cracks, i never complaint..bukak cabinet nak keluarkan Corelle lama ehhh macam tak cukup ajer mana pergi..mesti pecah jugak..Entah lah dah marah2 kadang kesian..tapi tak marah kita makan dalam..bukak grilles tingkap bilik,she nak bersihkan cermin tingkap..memang bagus tapi satu pun tak di kunci balik..nasib baik malam masa i nak betulkan lansgir tersangkut,tolak grilles terus terbukak ..kalau tak habis lah seluruh rumah berapa2 lama tak berkunci..kerja dia hanya buat kerja separuh ajer kalau weekend,i masak,i makan semua i kemas..apa pun Allah Swt bagi i hati lembut jugak sejak beberapa tahun ni dah..dulu2 masa muda memang berapi..now berapi,padam,berapi padam..macam mana tu..Hmm tanggungjawab masih banyak..budak2 tak lepas,uwan pun perlu orang tengok2 kan..so still perlu maid ni..kalau oneday di beri peluang oleh Allah Swt ada rezki cukup..tak payah kerja, boleh buat reban ayam belakang rumah,pagi2 cangkul batas dengan uwan tanam kacang,tengah hari petik kangkung dalam kolam kecik belakang rumah untuk masak dan lepas tu hampar tikar bawah Lemon tree makan sambil memerhati batas strawberry,lavender..wahhhh tergolek golek saya suka:):)

Setelah komplen, terbakar hati,jiwa dan perasaaan,kesudahannya syukur kepada Pencipta,ada rezki mampu hire maid,ada kesihatan boleh buat kerja2 rumah extra,ada suami willing bagi telinga untuk di dera dengan bunyi-bunyian,ada anak2 nak di sibuk-sibukkan,ada emak nak di risau-risau kan..and ada blog nak di rapu-rapu kan..wink wink;);) Alhamdulillah.

Anyway nak cerita lah Tia Mia pergi school outing today..this the first time..i macam risau tergolek-golek haaa haaaa;))Hmm how i suka guna words tergolek-golek..makan tergolek-golek,suka tergolek-golek,susah hati pun tergolek;0:)

Anak mama..you are big girls now..Moga Allah melindungi kita hendaknya.

The Papa was worried too..he kept calling me from his office checking..kihhh...kihhh

He..heee tengok mulut adik tu..everyday they asked me " mama what is my age now?" " 4 going to be 5" "why everyday is always 4 going to be 5?" I want to be 5 tomorrow..not later.later and later..kihh kihh tak sabar nak besar..kita nak dia stay kenits selalu;)

Gundah Gulana ni couldn't wait to go bercuti..nak pergi Cameron Highlands ajer actually..everytime we go sentiasa stay kat Strawberry Park...this time dah terlambat teringin nak stay Cameron YTL Resort tu..but dah penuh, we have to opt for Century Pines Resort..we booked one Duplex Suite.

We like SP..hopefully CP will be okay too.

Hopefully the weather will be sejuk2 sikit..boleh peluk kuat2:)
