Winter or Spring?...Ohh biarlah Aku Pergi....

Anybody experience winter this morning? Ha..haa..received email yesterday saying today, 20th November we gonna experience winter and we shud be ready with our winter gear..he..hee..yeap it was cold last nite but snow is no where to be seen this mmorning..otherwise for the first time Tia and Mia will have snowman in front of our house in Kota Damansara.

Tia cried twice last nite upon hearing mama sang this song,the lyrics go like this : "biarlah aku pergi,jangan kau carik lagi,biar aku berkelana membawa hati ku yang hancur luka...biarlah aku pergiiiiii..jangan kau carik lagiiiii..hu..huu..huuuuu" kih..kihhh..uwan used to sing this song when mama was small, upon hearing it mama will cry..it such a sad song to mama at that time,mama imagined uwan leaving mama and not coming back. Now Tia shares the same effect, she is stilled very small to understand actually, in mama's case at that time mama was 6 or 7 years old otherwise mama couldn't remember now but Tia is just 2 years 4 months and bila dengar that song she nangis teresak-esak with tears rolling down her cheeks..so kesian. Anyway there's no effect on our Miss Mia..she just smiled,the most ,when she saw Tia cried she came and hugged mama.

It is Spring in Kota Damansara, our petunias bloom in wonderful pink.

Roses from our garden.."roses are red my love violets are blue..sugar is sweet my love but not as sweet as you"

We had hot oatmeal buns this morning, it will be nicer if it was winter..ha..haaa..

Who love baked beans? not Tia or Mia but uwan..hmmmm..uwan is into winter mood may be:)

The girls love scramble eggs but it must be soft and chunky..so mama tambah fresh milk to the eggs.

Once a while we love to eat maggie goreng but we will leave out the serbuk rempah in the packet as it is the biggest enemy with msg etc..so mama just take the dried noodles,boil it,slice some onion and garlic,stir in olive oil it,add eggs,soy and osyter sauce..the taste is just nice.

Tia..with butter all over her nose..sian this little girl sedih dengar lagu "biarlah aku pergi..."

He..heee..Miss Mia wishing everbody a good weekend.. she is very happy that mama gonna cuti tomorrow..

It is a busy weekend but we managed, papa is stilled with his plan..hmm very very challenging, mama do not want to think about it..today is Friday.."Penghulu semua hari" said uwan as sesiapa meninggal on Friday pun dapat "Syahid kecil" dijauhkan seksa kubur..may it bawa berkat pada semua,may doa2 yang baik dimakbulkan Allah Sbt.Amin.

Dah cuti?

Hmm cepat betul masa,hari ni dah khamis,busy betul sepanjang minggu ni..kerja bertimbun,dari kiri kanan masuk..hmm dan macam2 perangai orang..kadang2 rasa nak marah,kadang2 kelakar..perkara2 macam budak2 kena selesaikan...ada manusia sangat pandai berbuat apa saja demi mencapai matlamat tapi bila terkena masih tak sedar salah sendiri...hai so vain lah..Bottomline dia kita ni kena sincere,kena hormat orang..barulah hidup aman,hati pun tenteram..kalau tidak perkara kecik pun nak meloncat..tapi manusia tak semua hati macam kita..so kalau dah nasihat perangai masih tu..kita tengok jer lah.

Sibuk2 ni tak sempat mama nak snap apa2..dah 3 hari mama balik lewat,papa hantar kereta service tak pergi ambik2,so share kereta..mama kena tunggu papa datang ambik kat office..huishhh lambat sungguh..bila balik mama&papa kena marah dengan dua2 orang budak kecik " dua2 lambat,baru balik,dark already"..ha..haaa..so cute anak2 pandai dah marah papa mama. Semalam mama suruh papa instruct workshop hantar kereta dia kat office mama,haaa..boleh pun, papa ni kan kalau dia busy dia tak boleh nak pikir sangatlah..so semalam orang workshop datang lobby office hantar kereta...so kelakar, lama betul mama tak drive kereta papa..nak drive dari lobby tu pi basement terhencut2..tak jumpa tempat nak adjust seat lah..tak jumpa wiper punya button etc..ada kereta Tv9 kat belakang yang really means siap hon2 lagi..hishh sakit hati.Apapun balik rumah suka hati..jumpa budak kenit2..sibuk tanya "mama dah cuti?..esok office or not?"..haaa..haaa..tak sabar nak cuti budak 2 tahun 4 bulan tu..kesian betul..nanti next week kita balik kampung raya qurban okay.Malam tadi kita baca buku cerita baru.."The ugly duckling"..both suka..mama seronok betul musim hujan2 ni..bila sejuk kita duduk nyorok bawah blanket..dua2 himpit mama so rasa panas..Mia malam tadi ambik extra teddy bear bagi mama pegang macam dia orang,cakap "mama pegang" sambil dengar cerita kejap2 dia check nak tengok mama pegang tak teddy tu..kalau tak dia cakap "mama pegang bear mama macam Mia"..kisss..kissss sayang nya dua orang ni.Itu je lah cerita minggu ni, so busy,banyak plan..plan yang sangat rumit papa buat..hmm papa ni kan walaupun penyabar orangnya kadang2 buat plan yang too daring..orang lelaki memang macam tu kadang2..mama pulak tak suka nak pening kepala but kita doa yang terbaik je lah... apa pun mama nak sangat nak pergi bercuti dengan kenits&papa..hopefully by next year boleh pergi somewhere. To auntie Rufa pulak: ufa bila nak jumpa i ni..bila nak dapat bear hugs from you?..

Haaa..si Tia baca sampai2 kat cover lagi..Mia pulak dengan blanket kesayangan dia di import dari Kuala Pilah..uwan punya..lembut dan sedap..kalau tak der mesti menjerit.So sweet lah malam tadi,Tia baca (ikut versi dia lah)..Mia tukang dengar dan buat sound effect.

Syian ugly duck..alone..alone dia..

Nite,nite darlings..sweet dream..nanti kita baca cerita lagi okay.

"Hallooo..Phewitttt...."

It was a good encounter with nature yesterday. The girls really enjoyed their time with Pakcik,Kak ikin and makcik..where did we go?We went to Bukit Cahaya Seri Alam or also known as Taman Pertanian Malaysia, it used to be a very "cool" and nice place to be as they have the 4 seasons house where you can experience snow,spring..and also padi planting,fishing, spices garden etc..due to the poor management the place is not as grand as it used to be. Now the place is very basic with few animals but the nature is still there,to those who love to cycle,walk in a forest the place is still fine and to the girls, they enjoyed their time there especially with their "pashik",kak ikin and makcik.The place is not far from our new house,morning we stopped at Monterez,we had our breakfast there before proceeding to the Taman Pertanian.

This week mama would like to share few health tips : Saturday,after the Shichida class we went to Cold Storage Bandar Utama to do our groceries,there while we stopped at the meat section a " mat salleh" guy name Ronald said hello to us. We stopped and we had a chat, it was a good one,he is a nutrionist running a personal rejuvenation centre in Bandar Utama. It was quite a long chat, he really enjoy talking to us and tease you both but to sum up there are few good tips given to us :

1. Goat milk is much,much better than cow milk. It is the best source of calcium as it can penetrate direct into you cells.
2. If you like to drink soy milk,to get the maximum benefit you should heat up the milk and add few drops of apple cider or vinegar, it will help to break " the goodness" in the milk and it can go direct into your cells.
3. Try to substitute white rice or bread with brown rice or oatmeal bread as white rice/bread contained a high sugar level.
4. Few veges that can keep you young and fresh are : the star is water crest (eat raw, you can add in your salad), brocolli and celery.
5. If you can afford it try to buy good quality veges which are " pesticide safe" among the brand in the supermarket is " Lushious".Veges sprayed with high pesticide can really endanger your health in a short and long run.

Ronald is from Australia, he was in vietnam serving as an army before, he looks like in his 50s but he is already 63 years old with a muscle as hard as the brick ( he asked us to rasa his muscle..yeahh really keras girls!).After giving us a few tips on "Travelling in Perth" and saying few times of " you are gorgoeus girls.. and very very smart too..i can see it from the eyes"..we said goodbye.

Okay,enuf with tips,now lets see our pictures:

Morning breakfast at Monterez..semua ada, nasik dagang, curry noodles,nasik goreng,fried chicken..semua gemuk2 punya food..exception la yerterday because after that we can burn calories at the taman..excuse..excuse:)

The Trengganu nasik dagang..the curry is really nice..

Everytime datang sini the girls mesti nak tengok vcd teletubbies.

We then arrived at Taman Pertanian..hmm its big...

The girls nak masuk hutan pun sibuk bawak "Play Doh" dia orang..happy dua2..nak pegang dengan pashik aje.

Give chance to mama&papa first..snap,snap

Pakcik helping the girls turun tangga...

Kak ikin belanja us with the bus tickets..now waiting for the big bus to take us tour around the taman..

We stopped to see Mr "Hallo..Phewitt" ni la..this guy can say many things like " assalamualaikum..so mama guess he's a muslim..he..hee.., he can say Hallo, bye,bye,, phewittt..wahhh..kih,kihhh"..and many others..the girls suka sangat.

Tolong angkat kak ikin, Tia nak touch..

He is the star at the animal section..cakap macam2..pas tu bila orang nak balik buat muka sedihhh..siannya..

Mia excited tengok people cycling...

Sampai tak nak pergi tengok yang lain2..asyik nak tengok Mr "hallo..phewiit ni je...

Mia and kak ikin at rabbit section...

Both tak pernah tengok poccupines..sibuk cakap "thorny,thorny ..smelly.." yeap memang busuk sungguh lah landak ni semua..

Then pergi tengok horse pulak...

Hello Mr Horse..both were really excited...

Mama and Kak ikin relax lah kejap....

Then we stopped for susu..Tia nak manja dengan pashik dia...

After dah turun bas we jalan jauh jugak and the girls quite okay..boleh jalan jauh..

Finally we stopped here for chicken soup,tom yam,omellete and cempedak goreng..wahh sedap betulll..

Saturday.

Below are some pictures from Saturday's Walk.

Papa has a dream here..those are bungalow lots surrounding the lake..this is Rimba Riang Park in Kota Damansara, a 10 minutes drive from our present house.The land is pricey here...5 years ago was quite affordable...now is expensive but papa is still holding to his dream..he said " one day"..its okay papa wherever we live as long as we have love we' ll be fine and happy..

This is our rock...

A man and a dream..

Italiannies Ustazahs!

'Mama nak pray,nak pray..nak pakai tekung cam mama"..the two little ustazahs now pandai baca bismillah sikit2..everytime nak tidur ikut mama baca 'bhis millah noman nomin...amin'..its okay girls..lama2 nanti pandai. Kalau tanya nak makan apa pun pandai lah cakap..last nite mama tanya "what do you want to eat for breakfast"..Tia said " pageti wif shos"..Mia pulak " adik nak pish,salmon pish".Both like fish and chicken very much especially Salmon,kalau makan Salmon macam orang dah sebulan tak makan..last nite mama makan tuna salad..both pun nak rasa..rupanya suka jugak tuna. Both are good at eating veges too..brocolli,carrot,cauliflower and now makan mushroom jugak..tapi tak berapa suka makan daging..hirup sup dia sukalah.So mama carik lah cara2 supaya dia orang suka daging..buat baked meatballs with bolognese sauce and cheese..nampak Tia okay jugak...mia memang suka spaghetti sungguh ..dia suka makan panjang2 tu,mia cakap "long,long pageti".

haa.. ni tempat meloncat,melompat dua ustazahs..both letak toys,pillow banyak2 then jump.."swimming mama,swimming best.."Telekung tu heni yang beli masa dia balik cuti ke Indonesia dulu...cute kan ada strawberry.

"Allah kobat"..haaaa..tu Tia pandai cakap..kalau nak takut2kan Mia pun dia cakap kuat2 "Allah kobat"..

ishhh doa pulak..cewahhhh Tia pandai doa ni..pray for everybody okay..

Wow anak mama dalam cahaya ...moga bercahaya hati dengan iman and takwa..amin.

So for breakfast this morning selain fulfilling Tia's request for spaghetti mama baked meat balls too..hot,hot from oven and cheesy..syedappp..

Papa pun syuke baked meatballs ni..senang nak buat..to those want to try..buy the frozen meatballs (unless you got time then you can make homemade balls), spagehtti sauce,diced tomatoes dalam tin,and slice cheese..how to cook?put your meatballs in a pie dish and put in oven,while waiting for the meat to be half cooked dice one big onion, place a cube of butter in a pot,sautee the onion until golden brown, put in the spaghetti sauce,diced can tomatoes,add in sugar & salt..stir until the sauce pekat.Take out your meatballs from oven,pour some sauce,place some cheese on the top and cook for another 10 minutes..approximate time to perepare for this is less than 20 mins. Rasanya di jamin sedap dari Pizza Hut punya.

Since uwan tak de pergi rumah paktih for few days ni mama serve breakfast kat wet kitchen jer for everbody..mama tak nak heni ambik masa lama kemas depan.meja makan..nanti takut you both tak de orang tengok2 kan..so senang kerja heni..penuh pengertian mama kan..hopefully she jaga you all baik2..semua mama dah buat,breakfast,lunch..dia tinggal nak bagi makan and kemas sikit2 jer..

Ni everybody's favourite ni..Tia,Mia,papa..tah bila jadi orang italy entah lah..kadang2 lagi dasat dari orang italy makan pasta ni..bolognese,olio,carbonara,marinara..semua suka..ni mama tengah tengok italian cooking book lagi..carik recipe yang tak pernah cuba pulak..

and kemestian ada fruit..yesterday was papaya..so this morning we have this sweet mango..

Ehhh ustazah dah tukar jadi cowgirl pulak..ni pun satu kegemaran,mesti nak pakai topi..budak2 punya tak nak..keluarkan papa punya dari stor..cowboy tak hisap puting lah Tia..so tak cool okay..

Papa pun mula sendukkan everybody dengan spagehtti..happy anak beranak nak makan..

Ni breakfast semalam sempena Girlfriend Day&Sister's week..papa nak makan mee hailam lagi..so mama buat ulangan..hmm mesti sedap mama punya kan papa..sebab tu nak repeat..he..hee..so yesterday was hailam noodles,fried chicken wing and papaya.

Ada orang tanya..kerja mama masak jer..dah tu heavy2 pulak tu..habis tu tak gemuk2 pulak..bukan macam tu mama pun macam semua ladies yang lain jugak kalau makan banyak mestilah gemuk,nak exercise selalu tak de masa..adalah cara dia jaga pemakanan..macam mee hailam ni mama taruk sayur banyak2..bila makan mama kutip semua sayur makan..mama practise "kill the big appetite" punya cara..ye lah mana larat tak makan.."kill big appetite" ni cara dia bila terasa lapar jangan terus pergi makan heavy meal..macam kat opis before lunch pukul 12 mama dah makan sikit..ambik seketul ikan ke,sayur ke..bila lunch tak de lah looking forward sangat..apa apa pun boleh macam tomyam,sup sayur ..steamboat..nandos..kalau tak, nak tunggu lapar betul..haaaa..mahu mata merah menyala macam piranha..dan sampai je kat kedai semua nak makan..orang lambat jer hantar order nak mengamuk jadi hulk dah..kalau dah kill kita punya big appetite pergi makan aman dan tenteram..he..heee..bak kata uwan penampilan ni kita jaga untuk diri kita..bukan orang..pasang niat yang betul..nak sihat,nak jaga anak2,keluarga..panjang umur nak beribadah sebagainya..kita berusaha,selebihnya ketentuan Allah sbt..ajal dan maut di tanganNYA..haa..haaa khutbah untuk italiannies ustazah2 ni..ingat dah besar esok okay..

" heni sorok milk bawah katil"..."heni tak pandai ikat rambut,ketat, adik tak syuka"..haaaaa..jangan cakap "bodoh" mama tak suka..so difficult pandai jer dia orang ni pick up words yang tak elok....kena explain pulak panjang lebar kenapa word tu tak elok.
