Alang2 Menyeluk Pekasam.

Alang2 menyeluk pekasam biar sampai ke pangkal lengan..hee..hee..Tia Mia do yo understand this old proverb?i think you both pekasam pun tak kenal kan:) For your sake i explain it here,pekasam is any type of pickles but according to uwan the old people in the old times marinate the beef meat together with bones in the big jar/tempayan.They put the beef together with salt in the jar,seal the opening and keep it for months under their kitchen counter.In the old days they didn't have fridge to keep the meat for long so this method is useful and they are just like korean kimchi.How did the proverb come about? In the old days when they want to cook the the marinate/pickled meat they have to put their hands in the deep jar,since the jar is deep if you don't put your hand further below you won't be able to reach the meat,so when you put in your hands it will get wet but since half your hands are already wet and in order to reach you mission i.e in taking out the meat you might as well let your hands wet up till the upper part of the hand (pangkal lengan).The proverb is use to show that in order for you to reach your goal if you are already in half way doing it no matter how difficult it is you might as well finish it.Old people so pandai kan..they see things and they use it as panduan but in a very nice and artsy manner.

So did i seluk pekasam this weekend?he..hee..i did something in total also last weekend,where i kept my hand in my pocket,i didn't cook breakfast or anything on Saturday and i thought might as well i totally hang my pots and pans..so no cooking on Sunday too;) Why? because our weekend was really tiring..we spent 8 good days at Emergency Room (ER) at Tropicana Medical Centre,Tia Mia was vommitting,followed by stomache etc..it was really tiring..Saturday we made appointment with new Peaditrician at TMC,Tia and Mia pead used to be Dato Dr Musa at DSH but he is so popular and we had to que very very long in order to see him;( since TMC is near our place so we gave a try..hopefully everybody will be okay soon;).Let see some of our pictures during weekend.

Children Section at TMC is really nice,they have huge play room,the whole area is like a big aquarium ..lets hope that the medicine is good too:)

We went to New York New York for lunch,sian Tia she had a very bad cough and was coughing non stop, so no cold drink you you Tia,Hot Honey Lemon is good for your throat.She is getting better now but the cough is still there..anybody have recommendation on how to get rid of cough from small girl like Tia?

Both girls ordered Salmon steak but they can't hardly eat as Tia was coughing and Mia had stomah ache..kesian betul..once dah baik we makan balik ya.

Sunday we didn't go out anywhere..both had activity at the back of the house.

They love glass painting;)

They quite good at it..ni Mia punya.

Two are ready to go under the sun.

Sambil painting sambil kena suap nasi..i bought sup ayam kampung from Hassan ayam kampung.

While uwan had her kampung lauk,gulai nangka,lemak labu dengan pucuk manis,rendang hati,pedal ayam dgn kacang dan ulam2..yummm.yummm..pun dari restaurant Hassan;)

dah tak ada kerja after the lunch while waiting for the glass paint to be dried up..mama godek2 camera;)

senda gurau with uwan:)

Apa Mia cakap uwan geli hati sangat tu....

No candy,no ice cream,no cakes so thay had to enjoy banana as dessert;)

I found few new modes in my camera bila dah godek2 tu..rupanya macam2 boleh buat jugak kat camera kenit ni rupanya..macam sephia,colour enhancement,boleh make face jadi lighter or darker..ohhhhh baru tahu..heee..heee..

Kenangan di rumah kami tahun 1950 an dulu..hee..heeee

Bulu Roma Tegak Berdiri.

Sebenarnya saya nak cerita kisah seram,puas carik dalam PC tak der gambar menakutkan..saya tengok gambar saya berselimut ni macam seram jugak,macam kisah witch yang suka selimut-selimut tu..dengan tak der make up mata,nampak macam boleh pose cerita seram..hee..hee

Atau yang ini seram tak..muka celorong celoreng..kalau melintas malam jumaat masa angin berhembus dan anjing menyalak..boleh jadi seram jugak kan..sian Pat..dia ni tak seram langsung..manja dan baik..Tia Mia sayang sangat:)

Last attempt lah before we start the spooky story..what do you think about this?Scary isn't it? Will you run? or you feel like hugging her..i feel like hugging and kissing her..today when i was at  " Good Evening Bangkok" sipping my milky coconut tomyam..she called using her papa's handphone,she said "mama i m okay today,i am very happy..you good luck mama"..hee..hee "Good Luck" must be the new word from kindy today.

I just wanna change the mood today after few days telling emotional stories:) Spooky story actually is entertaining,it somehow liven up your spirit,that is the reason why most races like spooky stories..duduk sembang mesti nak selit cerita seram ni..but sometimes ada satu dua perkara yang kita boleh belajar,kalau masuk dek akal kita terima,kalau terasa khurafat and tak boleh percaya buatlah sebagai hiburan saja.

Hari tu kat office masa duduk berkumpul makan,ada yang cerita rumah dia "di kacau" sampai susah nak duduk,mula2 hanya nampak bayang,lama2 pintu terbukak tertutup tak berenti dah tu "benda" tu baling2 barang dalam rumah,budak ni panggil lah ustaz yang pandai,kata ustaz tu memang ada benda,tapi tak lah jahat cuma dia suka duduk situ..so sampai sekarang this girl dengan husband and family masih duduk situ,dah jadi biasa,kalau malam2 "benda" tu laga-lagakan pintu almari dia cakap "diam lah nak tidur ni' Seram bagi saya.Dah sorang cerita ni sorang lagi cerita rumah dia di Hartamas ada "dark spot",area tu in reality kalau duduk atau lalu di situ bulu tengkuk mesti berdiri,dah tu sejuk, area tu dalam bilik tidur dia..so dia elakkan dari situ,dia tarik katil ketepi tingkap.tapi bila satu hari ceiling kat tingkap dia bocor dia terpaksa tarik katil ke "dark area" tu,hari malam memang tak boleh tidur,terasa ada benda yang kacau,macam masuk dalam rumah benda tu..pun dia msih tinggal di situ..dia cakap dah rumah sendiri nak buat macam mana.

Saya memang kalau boleh tak nak teserempak atau ada experience benda2 macam ni..mintak pada Allah Swt di jauhkan lah dari benda2 ni..bagitu pun masa kecik walaupun tak directly experience benda ni tapi terlibat dalam keadaan seram ni. Dulu our neighbour ada bas sekolah,my sister and anak neighbour ni sekolah asrama bersama di bandar Ampangan,Seremban,so hujung minggu bila neighbour ni pergi tengok anak di asrama husband dia bawak bas sekolah saya dan my emak enjoy naik bas sekolah dan pergi sekali tengok my sister,selalu kita orang balik lewat malam jugak.Everytime balik and nak pergi Ampangan ni kita kena lalu Bukit Putus,kawasan ni jalannya macam ular di palu dan berhutan tebal kiri kanan,kedaannya nya sejuk,gelap,kalau siang sangat sesuai bagi yang patah hati kerna boleh dapat feel sedih tapi kalau mlaam drive sorang2 memang meremang bulu roma. Tak jauh dari bukit putus ni tempat air terjun nama Ulu bendul,masa dulu ada taman bunga orchid dekat situ.Suatu malam cerita my emak balik dari ampangan dah lewat malam,dalam bas tu cuma driver,isteri dia,my emak and myself,according to my emak,lalu di Bukit Putus isteri driver telah tertidur dan pintu bas tertutup my emak duduk pangku saya yang dah tidur,dia pun baca lah ayat2,sampai di selekoh nak hampir dengan kebun bunga di nampak seorang perempuan tepi jalan baju kurung putih sepasang,bawak bakul kosong,masa tu my emak memang terlupa pasal "benda halus"..dia fikir why this lady malam2 tunggu bas,kesian dia,my emak cakap that lady tunduk ajer tapi tangan dia tahan bas,driver rasanya tak nampak apa,bila bas slow lalu di selekoh perempuan berkurung putih tu terus melompat naik di tangga bas,disebabkan pintu bertutup,masa tu baru may emak teringat,ini bukan manusia biasa,dia terus baca ayat kursi dan peluk saya kuat2,my  emak cakap nasib baik perempuan tu tak toleh,sebab nampak muka dibawah tudung dia gelap macam tak ada apa2,sampai di kawasan kebun bunga dia pun meloncat turun dan hilang dalam gelap.My emak sangat bersyukur sebab perempuan tu tak tahan bas di tengah jalan etc..kalau tidak mesti berlaku kemalangan.Sangat seram bila saya ingat.

Selain benda halus macam tu manusia yang biasa macam kita ni ada pulak yang suka berkawan dengan syaitan dan benda halus,sangat menyedihkan di kala orang lain berlumba mendekatkan diri pada Allah sbt dia dengan terangan tak takut menduakan Pencipta. Satu kisah berlaku to my brother,suatu masa dulu dia patah tangan terlibat dalam kemalangan,quite bad actually,puas berubat hospital etc lambat sangat sembuh,so ada satu bomoh patah yang terkenal,my brother pun pergi jumpa,bila tengok dia mengamalkan yang bukan2 suruh bawak ayam putih etc..my brother tak jadi nak berubat dengan dia,dia pun jadi marah..dia cakap kalau my brother tak berubat dgn dia tak akan sembuh selamanya.After that episode my brother tak boleh tidur malam,dia rasa panas,rasa takut,rumah macam di campak pasir..dah tak boleh tahan my emak pun bawak bapak sedara kita orang yang pandai membaca ayat2 untuk menghalau syaitan etc,sampai dirumah my brother,dah sembahyang dam membaca doa my pak sedara nampak diatas bumbung dalam rumah my brother satu makhluk sanagt besar dan buruk duduk bertenggek dengan dengan mata merah menyala,katanya serupa hantu raya,di hantar bomoh yang marah dengan my brother.Saya masa tu masih kecik kalau dah besar ni mesti lari lintang pukang.

Tapi yang paling takut saya dengar adalah kisah orang memuja tengkorak di kampung  dulu2,my emak cakap,malam masa ada kemalangan dan seorang perempuan mati berdarah,ada orang dah korek kubur perempuan tersebut dan kepala dia hilang.Tukang pemuja tu orang kaya,rumah dia ada bilik khas tak boleh dimasuki sesiapa,seramkan macam cerita Tamar Jalis.Masa rumah dia terbakar,orang kampung dengar bunyi jeritan perempuan sangat kuat dan sayu..uhhhh sungguh seram.Masa baru kerja duduk rumah my brother saya suka jugak baca cerita Tamar Jalis,bila malam nak pergi bilik air sangat siksa,rasa nak kencing atas tilam..hee..heee..Cerita Seram di Tv yang paling saya takut ialah "Emily Rose"..dah tengok banyak kali pun sampai dah kahwin ada anak ni saya mesti sembunyi bawah selimut..nak pergi bilik air kacau husband,my husband bising tak bagi tengok..tapi saya sembunyi bawah selimut tia mia...heee..heee..Have a nice weekend everybody..jangan pergi dalam gelap tau:) Akhir kata Yang Maha Esa itu hanya Allah Sbt,maka kepadanya lah kita berdoa dan berserah..ehhhhh dah rasa macam buku Tamar Jalis lerrr..

Once I Hate You It Will Last Until Death Do Us Part....

"The Sky is falling,the sky is falling"..said Chicken Licken;);)

Frienship.

Psst..the story that I am going to tell and the above picture got nothing to do with each other:);) The picture gambar Tia Mia i snapped semalam,budak dua orang ni suka betul pergi kindy..memang bukan mengikut mama yg sangats uka dulu kalau MC..hee..hee..ni sakit ribut petir tetap demand nak pi kindy..tapi tak nak pakai Uniform..see nak melawa ajer kerja.I guess it's okay as long as they like it there;)

The Story : One day she saw me and she came, dia terus menangis cerita menantu perempuan dia dah tinggalkan rumah,bawak baby yang baru lahir,lari duduk rumah mak dia,her son try nak pi jumpa mak sebelah perempuan halau and tak bagi tengok.Dia cakap lagi her son call and sms the wife tapi wife langsung tak hirau kan dan tak nak jumpa langsung. I kenal dia quite sometimes jugak,dia a single mother in her early fifties,ada anak lelaki sorang saja,anak dia ni pandai sangat belum habis SPM dah di pilih by the biggest Petroleum Company in Malaysia,now living on a jet plane,one week in Italy,Paris,Amsterdam,London,Rome etc...earning very big money and travel first class. The son is tall and handsome,masa dia orang kahwin dulu i pergi kenduri kat club tu..the wife is sweet and nice. Dia ni has good heart tapi very strict and suka control segala benda,rumah dia lengkap segala sebab dia cakap untuk anak lelaki  yang satu-satunya but she set her standard high and she is really fussy,kalau anjing bising kat sebelah rumah dia tak berenti the next day you mesti tengok pihak berkuasa dah datang gari anjing tu..hee..hee..dia marah orang sebelah yang tak kemas rumah,dia komplen pasal jiran belakang yang sangkut kuali kat luar rumah.lay out taman perumahan pun kalau boleh dia nak tentukan,tapak surau pun dia komplen tak boleh di situ etc ,in the end surau tak di bina di situ.Rumah dia penuh air cond tak der sebijik sampah atau habuk.So bila anak dia dah kahwin dia pun suruh menantu duduk sekali dengan dia,since anak dia selalu terbang sana sini,menantu kerap jugak balik rumah sendiri..bila anak dia dapat baby boy pertama dia lah yang jaga..selalu nampak macam bahagia..until lah the girl mengandung lagi and dapat another baby boy.Dalam Hospital lagi menantu tak bagi si suami and dia tengok,dia lari balik rumah mak bapak dia,bila suami and dia datang dia kunci pintu.Rupanya menantu tak tahan dengan dia,sejak duduk sama,she was very fussy,suruh menantu mengikut semuanya cara dia,dia tak lah cakap terang-terangan tapi faham bila dia cakap "zu,i bukan lah fussy tapi apa salahnya dia ikut cara i kalau cara i tu betul,memang lah tumbuk bawang tu tak susah tapi i rasa cara i betul macam tu jugak sidai baju,i nak baju dgn baju,seluar dgn seluar' Rupanya setiap perkara kecik macam letak berus gigi,susun baju dalam wardrobe,susun kasut,mandikan anak,mesti cara dia. Dia kontrol the whole house,masak,cucu,aturcara mesti cara dia,dia mengeluh cakap "zu,semua kerja i yg buat,masak,mandikan cucu,ajar dia..semuanya tapi bila dia balik kerja dia tengok i tengah bagi anak dia makan,dia tiba2 nak ambik alih,tengok i nak hidang nasi kat anak i,dia sibuk nak buat jugak,bila pagi sebelum pergi kerja dia macam tak percaya i boleh cuci kain semua,mesti dia nak buat jugak'.Menantu sebenarnya rasa dia tak contribute apa,diketepikan,hilang kontrol terhadap anak sendiri dan suami,rasa diri tak bagus sebab tumbuk bawang pun tak betul,cuci panty sendiri pun mesti di ajar..setelah 5 tahun memendam rasa..dia tak tahan,hilang langsung rasa cinta pada suami terasa suami sayang lebih pada mak sendiri dari dia..segalanya mesti ikut cakap emak,masak emak yang sedap,cucu baju emak yang bersih,ajar anak emak yang pandai.But the biggest mistake dia buat bila dia suruh anak dia pilih antara dia dan isteri,she should never do that,and the anak being mommy;s boy,dan sentiasa terhutang budi pada emak terpaksa memilih dia,sangat sad, yg jadi mangsa dua anak berumur 4 dan baru lahir,akan hidup tanpa bapa akibat ke ego an orang dewasa. To me memang sangat bagus anak yang patuh kalau kita dah jadi ibu ada anak lelaki memang lah kita gembira ada anak menyanjung kita,kita lah masak yg sedap,kita lah yg buat segala benda yang terbagus,tapi bagai mana dengan kehidupan si anak,kita nak dia berkepit seumur hidup dgn kita ke..adakah kita akan menongkah langit tak akan mati boleh jaga dia sepanjang hidup.sekarang anak menderita rindu kan anak2,tak boleh kah kita ketepikan ego kita demi kebahagiaan mereka. Hati yang patah sebenarnya lebih bahaya dari hati yang marah,kalau marah satu hari akan reda tapi hati yang patah boleh terus patah dan tak baik sampai bila2.Rumahtangga sebenarnya si suami dan isteri kena tentukan,memang tak senang menjaganya,dua orang berbeza dari latar belakang berbeza pandangan hendak hidup bersama,bukan dua orang tu jer dua famili jugak nak bersatu..jadi terpulang pada dua pihak untuk tentukan macam kita mengemudi kapal kalau kita nak dia bertahan ada ombak yang besar ada dugaan kita teruskan kalau kita hendak dia berhenti nampak nampak ada batu yng masih jauh kita boleh undur.Dan kalau kita telah hidup bersama,ada anak susah dan senang bersama mengapa kita mesti nak musnahkan nya..baik kita jangan masuk alam perkahwinan dari mula supaya kita tak merobek hati sesiapa.Dalam kes ni the girl akhirnya failkan tuntutan cerai di mahkamah,the lady asked me "apa nak buat zu,i buntu tak tahu lagi apa nak buat,how could she do this to me after all that i have done,memang tak kenag budi etc,etc"I told her " you kena biarkan dia orang uruskan hidup sendiri,let they move out from your house,jangan masuk campur dulu,suruh yr anak pujuk his wife,biar dia ada masa bersama untuk mengingat masa2 manis dahulu,biar kasih yang pudar datang balik,mesti they dapat cari cinta yg masih ada"..but it seems she wants the menantu mengaku salah and datang semula continue routine hidup yang sama.If kita dengar mesti kita rasa leceh masalah dia orang kan..and ada yg rasa the menantu too much,kena tegur tumbuk bawang pun tak boleh,and she cukup syukur mak mertua buat semuanya tapi kalau kena diri kita macam mana ye.."kita tumbuk bawang tak betul,sidai baju tak betul,susun baju pun tak pandai..bila balik nak suap anak makan pun tak kena bagi,nak hidang nasi pada husband pun tak boleh..apa kita rasa sebagai wanita,hopeless sangat kita..dan kalau dah 5 tahun kita memendam rasa mesti kita nak lari,..sebelum kahwin kita rasa kita just fine,why dah kahwin kita jadi manusia yang hopeless..and the most important kita rasa suami kita yg sepatutnya melindungi dan menanyangi kita tak mahu mempertahankan kita.Entahlah,bila nampak anak dia rasa kesian..dia tersepit antara emak dan isteri.

Hidup memang penuh gelombang,tak semua bernasib baik,kalau kita bahagia jagalah kebahagiaan ...yang penting jadilah orang yang berfikir,lengkapkan diri dengan ilmu..kecerdikan itu bukan saja dengan ada degree berderet dari University terkemuka tapi cara kita menangani hidup,cara kita berdepan dengan masalah,cara kita membuat keputusan dalam hidup.Cambride,Harvard tak dapat mengajar kita macam mana merawat hati yang luka,bersabar menghadapi cabaran..dan yang terpenting sekali mestilah jangan lupa kita hanya lah hamba,kalau sedar kita hamba di bumi Tuhan mesti dapat membuang ego,mesti tahu hidup hanya sementara..dan kalau kesedaran itu ada lebih banyak lah kasih sayang,mesti mahu lebih memberi dari menerima..mesti dapat di hilangkan sifat "keakuan dan aku lebih baik dari kau dan kau mesti patuh dengan aku"

Pada pasangan muda ni..saya masih mendoakan,harapan biarlah kasih sayang bertaut kembali,lihatlah mata anak2..jangan biarkan dia jadi mangsa..doa saya jugak biarlah dia yang mengadu ini lembut hatinya,biarlah dia jadi ibu yang sanggup berkorban untuk anak..moga semuanya baik sahaja.

Penutup saja letak gambar anak my bestfriend yang cute ni..si sofea,my friend and anak nya minat gila lah kat Nur kasih..hisshhh saya tak pernah tengok Nur Kasih satu episode pun ..hee..hee bila i cakap remy ni tak handsome and capang telinga,sibuklah my bestfriend pertahankan..kihh..kihhh:)

Musim hujan sejuk ni..sedap kan tomyam panas2:) I love coconut cream tomyam at "Good Evening Bangkok"..really yummy..bila hirup rasa pedas,lemak..and nyamannn jer masuk tekak..hee..hee;) Sebab hari ni nak pergi keluar dengan few friends makan2..pagi tadi dah masak Spaghetti Olio with big prwans for Tia Mia and Uwan,always macam tu kalau nak keluar makan sedap2 rasa kesian kat orang kat rumah..so kena masak extra special for them. malam tadi pukul2.30 pagi bawak Tia pergi Tropicana Medical Centre ,she vomitted and had stomach pain,kesian tengok dia growping in bed..kena hari Ahad,dah makan ubat baik..malam tadi ebrulang balik,sebab tu kadang2 memang malas nak beli street food, they yummy i ve got nothing against it tapi perut budak2 tender and tak tahan kalau kotor.

Speaking about kotor,i dengar news on radio 15 eating premises kat Port Dickson kena tutup,they failed to comply with at least 60% bersih..they tahap kotor tak boleh tolong, Teluk Kemang antara stalls yang paling banyak kotor...memang yuckkk,yuckkk and yuckk..bila masuk kena check tengok kat belakang lantai hampir 3 inchi lumut,perkakas tak pernah basuh dah berkulat pun they guna balik,since tak der orang masuk tengok,longkong belakang tersumbat,air busuk naik masuk kitchen,ada yang buang air situ,pad,diapers pun terapung sana sini..i rasa kalau ular sawa masuk periuk pun they tak sedar.Dalam makanan ada telur lalat,lipas,cicak dah bengkakkkk..Yarabbi..jijik betul lahhh.So sad lah kita punya tempat peranginan,when it comes to hygienic orang kita memang kurang sangatttt...erti kata lain pengotorrr!!!Kalau nak masuk public toilet kat beach jangan harap lah..nanti tak boleh makan punya.Peniaga ni kebanyakan nya islam:( :( Sangat sensitive lah kotor ni...kalau travel tempat orang di luar negara toilet,eating place semua thumbs up..they made an effort to decorate the table,put towel,soup etc in the toilet..kita nak duduk atas toilet tu pun tak boleh..kadang2 sebatu pun dah boleh bau;(

Anyway i put up some foods picture below from my friend's FB (Dayang) yang travel ke Istanbul..nampak menarik lah Istanbul,i never been there,if one day ada rezki terinagin jugak..mesti carpet and barang2 rumah best kat sana:);)

 Banyak grilled food di istanbul..

Semua ada chili hijau.. i like;)..yang penting tak der sauce cicak bengkak ber cream macam di PD:(;(. Terus teringat...dulu masa muda remaja baru kerja ada sorang lelaki bergaya drive Lamborghini cuba mengorat,dia tall,fair and quite handsome,kaya..cukup lah package..laki orang sebenarnya..tapi gatal..so tiap hari dia rajin datang office,kakak2 office tu rajin lah melayan sebab dia buat business dengan our company..atas paksaan one day pergi lah ikut kakak2 office tu pi makan dengan lelaki lambo ni..i pulak jenis yang suka perati orang,tengok kuku,perati jari sambil2 tunggu makanan sampai tu..perati punya perati i tengok lah telinga dia nampak berkuping taik putih keluar..aduhhhhh..geliiiii nya..bila chilis chicken fajitas datang kat meja i tengok kakak2 yang lain tu melahap dengan laju fajitas lemak berkrim tu..i nak masuk salad sekaping dalam mulut pun tak boleh..hee..heee..moral of the story,ada lamborghini pun kena korek telinga..otherwise orang muntah..kihh..kihh..

Istanbul Cafe strips..i like;) Dulu2 i kerap jugak pergi Hong Kok bila pergi night market dia bahagian stall tempat makan2 tu..yarabii..semua ada dalam sangkar nak kena masak termasuk kucing,anjing,monyet,ular sawa,ular lidi,katak,lipan,tikus.. kena lari jauh2..tak boleh imagine orang makan kucing..kesiannya.

I sebenarnya rindu nak tengok my emak buat kueh "buah sepang"..banyak orang tak tau nama ni..setengah orang panggil badak berendam..sedappp;)My emak masa masa sihat dulu pandai masak..lauk2 dia semua sedap jenis menjilat jari..Alhamdulillah mostly recipe dia tu i tahu buat except dia punya moist butter cake..i tak berapa pandai baking ni..tu nak pi belajar ni..tak sabar dah:) Very klasik dulang tu kan..i dapat dari kampung bawak lah balik dua biji..my emak pandai buat roti canai jugak tapi dia tak tebar macam kat kedai tu..dia guna dulang..lebarkan atas dulang dah tu baru simpul..sangat sedap,crunchy and wangi.

Ni lah rupa buah sepang tu..kulit luar tepung pulut dalam inti kelapa muda,nanti masuk dalam loyang taruk santan and kukus..masa kecik i suka versi goreng punya.. sedap sebab tepung tu jadi liat2;)

Ni gambar i 6 bulan pregnant di Tokyo Japan,bila baca kisah Japan everyday sangat sedih..negara dia orang sangat cantik..bersih dan rakyat sangat berbudi bahasa, i pergi toilet pun dia orang hantar and tunggu sampai keluar.Tapi gambar ni i buruk makan kan..masa pregnant for the first 4 months i langsung tak boleh makan..muntah 24 jam,masuk 6 bulan baru sihat sikit..so masa ni nak lah makan..

Tokyo city behind me..very modern and convinience.. I love Tokyo..masa ni Tiamia menyorok dalam perut sebab sejuk..perut always keras  jer..

Harap2 Japan cepat pulih..doa untuk bumi dan seluruh umat manusia.

Berangan berada di sini..dah banyak kali letak gambar ni..tapi i memang sangat rindu tempat ni..bila badan penat dan sakit2 terasa nak pergi ke sini...lagi pun sini tak ada toilet tersumbat dan tikus bengkak,toilet dia boleh tidur kat dalam..ada makcik tua yang tunggu di luar hulur towel dan wet wipes..sangat bagus..

One day bila ada rezeki we shall come here..buat masa sekarang cukup berangan dulu and kira syiling dalam purse:);)

Special Entry For Myself.

Indeed this is a special entry for myself.When your life is good, you don't have much hiccups in life, your loved ones are infront of you,you are blessed with loves,times and health you sometimes takes life easily.It is not that taking life easily is bad but the appreciating part sometimes become less,having good,calm life is like sipping a good coffee,if only once in a blue moon you got to drink gourmet coffee from an expensive cafe you will appreciate every sip,try to savour every drop.But if you have it every day you drink it in one breath and you tend to forget how tasty it is,how aromatic  and most important how fortunate you are.I am just like any other human, I sometimes need thing to happen in order for me to become more appreciative,more attentive.If other people is less fortunate where their parents are far away I on the otherhand is  very lucky to have my mom right infront of my eyes,i don't have to call her through phone,i dont have to travel thousand miles to see her and because of this i sometimes forgot to pause and  think how lucky i am. Alhamdulillah i never threat her badly,i ve tried my best to make her comfortable in our house,the only thing lack is due to my busy timetable i have less time to be close to her soul,to rub her back,to lie down beside her and rekindle the old memories like we used to do when she was stilled in kampung.Sometimes i know i should do that but since she is under the same roof, I took it as no rush furthermore i am always tired by the kids and other chores therefor i tend to postphone doing all the intimate things that a daughter should do.Old people is very different from the young ones,they don't need material thing much they need their loved ones to sit and listen to them,to touch,to hug,to rub and listen and listen endlessly to thier old stories.

A big wake up call happened to  me this weekend when we came back from holiday and my mom had flu,cough and she looked unusually tired,sometimes like day dreaming, i was worried about her,first i thought of taking her to the nearby clinic but last Saturday I decided to bring her to Tropicana Medical Centre,to cut the story short, the Doctor saw something not right in her lung,he sent her for X ray,she was admitted on the same day and the doctor told me she sufferred Broncheatisis-uncommon lung desease,where the airways become wide and the people suffering it will be easily infected,in my mom case the damage is quite chronic and due to her age she has to be treated immediately .She was admitted,she looked very weak in the hospital from a vibrant old lady she looked fragile and distant, i was very sad inside,so scared of losing her. Since my father died i always pray to Allah swt to give me time,strenght,health,rezeki not only for my self but for her,when i saw her getting older i pray harder and harder,first i when i was pregnant i doa for her to be able to see my children,after the children came i doa for her to see them grow,i doa for her to be around to see the girls to go into college,i doa for her be with me in my new house when i have rezki.So far Allah sbt has fulfilled my doas,she is still with me,i have been given the most precious gift which is "the time with her",i have strenght ,i have rezki and i have health to do things for her. If  i have not done the best,i have overlooked certain things in taking care of her or i un/intentionally hurt her feeling i feel like betraying the time that has been given to me by Allah sbt. And because of that i am telling myself everyday now, to improve my care and enrich my love towards her.As mother we wont know our fate,we wont know whether our children will care for us when we become old,we can only educate them, teach them and we doa to Allah sbt,the rest is beyond our control but as daughter/son we have full control in giving our parent love and care,if the love is not given and the care not extended it is our choice and oneday when we are old just like our mom or dad we will see all the flashback and if we had hurt her or him the sadness in our heart will be eternity.

To my mom i never forget our times  together in the kampung, you held my hands in the dark and we waited for the school bus together.You are not rich but you give the best to me,every night during the exam you will sleep on the sofa next to me and you will refill my drink everytime i finish it..if i am willing to give my life to Tia Mia now you are willing to do that to me long time ago, if i can't be parted from Tia Mia you don't want to be parted from me too...there is no reason for me to forget you even in a single second;) I love you very very much and may Allah Sbt bless you with health,long age and happiness.

Uwan in the ward with Tia.

The relationship between these 3 started long time ago when the girls were in my tummy and uwan came over to look after me.Four years ago uwan can still cook and clean,i was sick 24 hrs,mood swing 24 hrs,uwan was there,never raise her voice to me.

Alhamdulillah,uwan is getting better now,she has to do some chest theraphy and take strict antibiotic prescription.

Tonite i cooked fish head soup for her.It is a simple dish but i have request from a young lady who is a mother of 3,she recently faced tremendeous challenge in her life,had to go for operation and facing the greatest fear in life.She is a very brave ,always postive,when i texted her and offered any helps she replied back and said "dont stop blogging and pls put recipe too" Specially for her this is  the simple recipe  here.I learnt from my mom,to my taste it is nice and the whole family like it too;) First you need to get the fresh fish heads,slice lots of big onions,shallots,garlic,ginger and lengkuas,pound few white pepper and get some cinnamon stick,bunga cengkih,tumis everything that i have mentioned until fragrant and brownish,add in the fish head,strir a lit bit to get rud of the 'fishy smelly',add in water and salt and simmer until the head is soft.Serve hot with asian parsley.

Husband was tired tonite,he likes bread butter pudding very much,tonite i baked again for him.

Serve it with warm evaporated and fresh milk.My bread pudding is very simple,i can prepare it in 10 mins, I shredded gardenia white bread in a oven dish,heat up butter in a microwave,took out add in evaporated milk,fresh milk,sugar and mix well,add few drops of vanilla essence,pour onto bread, put dish into oven,set oven to 180 and bake until golden brown.For the sauce i mix evaporated milk,fresh milk and lil drop of vanilla essence.

The duos ever ready to entertaint uwan at dinner table;)

The girls have good taste when it comes to food,pandai appreciate good food,for her soup i have to sift all the spices,so it is clean and clear then she "slurrppppp"..
