Event attended and event missed

One whole day was spent at my cousin Lina house for aqiqah and cukur jambul of her new daughter; Zaara Qistina, birthday party for Pak Ngah (her dad) and her other daughter; Mya Qistina and also Pak Ngah retirement and house warming for her new house at Serenia Garden, Ukay Perdana (what a nice place). All event bundled up in one day so its kind of meriah. Due to that, I missed another important event; a friends wedding; Um and Mila. 

Dear Um and Mila, congratulation on your wedding. Praying for a smooth journey in your new life as husband and wife. Sorry for not able to make it. Sebak tengok gambar Um dekat FB. If I was there, tak tau la camne. Entah-entah lebih teruk dari gengs kot. Hehehe.... Semoga majlis esok berjalan dengan lancar. Paling utama, acceptance by you know who. Kan Um and Mila kan. I'll pray for both of you.

Anyway, I had very full tummy today. Stuffing myself with all the good foods. One thing I like about event hosted by Lina (or her parents) is the arrangements of everything. Cantik ok. The dais for baby Zaara adalah sangat cantik. So does everything else. Kalau rajin nanti I upload the pic. Bang Long was the cameraman but I didn't take any from him. Too many foods make my eyes kind of heavy aje. Very sleepy then but can't sleep la kan. Seeing me sleepy, my cousin brother keep teasing me regarding the cross country thingy. Hehehe.... Sabar je la.

I spent my whole time there either stuffing foods into my mouth or playing with kids. Lately kids kind of attracted to me. But its kind of tires me off. They didn't give me chance to rest langsung. We played with the balloons, bubbles, cards etc. And as always, the bracket in my mouth would be the main tarikan. Wah tarikan tu.... tak tahan....

Tomorrow besides cleaning the house before leaving for Kuantan, I nak siapkan my report. I already applied for leave next week but I'll be doing the report during the so called leave. Bosan ah. Nak cuti pun tak senang. Hehehe..... 

Ok lah, happy holiday everyone!    

Eny yang alpa

Bila time-time critical ni, matahari pun tak nampak. Hehehe.... Semalam keluar rumah gelap lagi dan balik rumah semula pun gelap juga. Sometimes I do wonder.... is this it? Macam ni aje ke my life would be? Routine yang sama although sometimes ada la buat sesuatu yang luar kebiasaan but still benda yang luar kebiasaan tu pun adalah benda yang almost the same juga like jogging or hang out with friends lepas office. Nothing unusual kan. How I wish my life would be spectacular... cewah.... Tak de la... Cuma kan best kalau sentiasa ada benda baru. Again that explain why I love my six month course so much. Sebab setiap hari adalah a brand new day with brand new stuff to venture. Sekarang ni brand new day but same routine at almost every second. Macam robot pulak kan.

No one to blame but myself. I lead my own life kan. Maybe this year I've to plan something so that there's always stuff to do everyday. Maybe boleh set hari yang akan pegi jogging. Pastu ada hari pegi swimming (I know... I know... dah berjuta kali cakap nak pegi swimming tapi tak pegi-pegi jugak... tapi this year Insya Allah akan buat juga). Hanim sekarang belajar taekwando tapi I tak nak lah pegi belajar taekwando. I nak belajar benda lain. Yanti suggested I belajar menjahit since I am very particular about how tailor sew my clothes kan. Cadangan yang menarik tu. Boleh dipertimbangkan. So nanti boleh la jahit baju sendiri. 

Oh keduniaan sangat benda-benda tu kan. Dulu every Tuesday I ada kelas mengaji dengan Hanim dekat Masjid Putra. Tapi lama-lama dah tak pegi sebab selalu ada hal hari Selasa. Sometimes pasal kerja and yang tetapnya bila menstrual kan. Pastu kalau I free, Hanim tak free and vice versa. I know itu semua alasan aje tu... Berjaya jugak syaitonnirrojim ni hasut I kan. So lepas-lepas tu ada la plan nak belajar mengaji dengan ustazah yang boleh datang rumah atau cari kelas yang ada few times a week tapi terlalu lagho dengan urusan keduniaan lansung niat suci murni itu dilupakan.

So this year kena masukkan that dalam perancangan. Eman suruh join taalim masturat (some sort of kelas agama) tapi tu lah belum terbuka hati ni nak pergi. Bagus jugak pegi kelas agama ni so banyak benda boleh belajar. Tapi itulah.... I ni kalau bab-bab dunia ni memang cepat aje; bila nak jogging terus beli peralatan selengkapnya, bila nak baking terus beli gadget selengkapnya, bila nak gardening terus beli peralatan selengkapnya jugak. Tapi bila sebut bab-bab agama ni dok la tangguh-tangguh. Nanti lah, sibuk lah, tak de masa lah. Betul Eman cakap; I ni cintakan dunia sangat. So tahun ni kena lebihkan perancangan keagamaan sikit. Tolong lah doa-doakan I ye. Hasutan syaitonnirrojim ni kuat sangat. Eh ke I ni yang dah macam geng dengan diorang . Hehehe.... Nauzubillah....    

Paling penting ialah attitute sebenarnya. Attitude yang suka dok tangguh-tangguh ni mesti diubah. Pastu perancangan masa kena buat dengan betul and kenalah follow. Ini buat benda ikut suka atau ikut dan aje. esok lah... nanti lah...lenkali lah... dan segala lah lah lagi tu. Kena manfaatkan setiap saat yang telah Allah beri ni. Jangan sampai besok tergolong dalam golongan kufur nikmat pulak. Allah dah bagi nikmat kehidupan tapi tak hargai dan asyiklah buang masa. Masya Allah.... Insaf dengan kejahilan dan kealpaan diri sendiri.

So marilah sama-sama kita berdoa agar diberikan taufik dan hidayah oleh Allah supaya mata hati dan akal fikiran kita tidak ditutupi dengan kecintaan kita kepada dunia. Mudah-mudahan kita menjadi hamba yang bersyukur dan taat kepada suruhannya. Insya Allah....   

So kena jadikan tahun ini sebagai tahun yang seimbang dunia dan akhirat. Kena start plan sekarang lah ni. I'll share with you guys once I dah berjaya execute everything eh. Kalau plan aje tak tentu buat kan. Bila dah jadi amalan  esok bolehlah dikongsi bersama. Kepada sesiapa yang nak bagi suggestion atau nak share anything regarding this sila-silakan lah. Like ada kelas mengaji kat mana-mana ke, kelas menjahit ke or anything lah. Thanks in advance.

Gila

I rasa semua orang dah gila la sekarang ni. Ok bukan semua tapi ramai gila orang gila. Eh tak, I rasa semua gila lah. Kalau tak gila yang betul-betul gila boleh jadi gila lain pulak. Macam gila bola, gila karaoke, gila golf, gila shopping dan semua jenis kegilaan lagilah. Termasuklah I jugak. I pun ada macam-macam jenis kegilaan. Ok itu bukan tujuan sebenar entry ini. I sebenarnya nak memperkatakan betapa ramainya orang gila sekarang ni. Gila tahap gila babun lah.

Semalam I tengok berita. Ada sorang perempuan Myanmar ni (kalau tak silap) dia tikam anak dia (which is baby lagi) bertubi-tubi sebab suami dia tinggalkan dia. Like what the...... Suami tinggalkan dia pastu tikam baby pulak. I tak paham la. Apa salah baby tu? Kalau tak nak sila lah kasi kat orang lain. Yang pegi tikam baby tu apasal. Bertubi-tubi pulak tu. Kesiannya baby tu. Tak pasal-pasal kena tikam dengan kejam and of course la meninggal dunia kan. Oh my God kejam gila perempuan ni. Kalau ye pun marah kat suami tu, carilah dia sampai dapat and silalah lepaskan kemarahan anda pada orang yang sepatutnya. Ok I bukan suruh dia pegi tikam suami dia tapi buat lah apa yang patut dengan orang yang sepatutnya instead of buat macam tu kat baby yang sudah tentu tak bersalah langsung tu. Errr... apa kata kita tikam dia bertubi-tubi pulak baru dia tau sakit ke tidak baby tu kena buat macam tu. Eh tapi nanti kita pulak yang dituduh gila. Tak mau...tak mau... I ni waras lagi walaupun ada masanya gila. Hahaha.... Tapi itulah..... paling teruk pun minah ni dok merengkok dalam penjara aje. Bukan tersiksa sangat pun.  Tak pun lepas sebab sabit gila. Lagi lah kan....

Pastu kes gila kedua ialah sorang cucu umur 17 tahun yang tikam datuk dia sampai mati. Actually dia mencuri kalau tak silap and datuk dia terserempak dia mencuri barang-barang datuk dia so maybe lah datuk dia marah ke apa ke kan. Memang padan lah pun kalau datuk dia nak mengamuk atau nak belasah dia (which I doubt sebab datuk tu dah around 70 something). Patutnya lari sudahlah sebab sooner or later hal-hal macam ni boleh dibawa berbincang although memang sah-sah la budak ni salah sebab mencuri kan. Instead dia pegi tikam datuk dia. Dia and kawan dia. Oh my... Apalah nak jadi dengan budak-budak zaman sekarang ni. Takut ok. Normally datuk nenek la tempat kita nak bermanja kan... Apalah ada dalam kepada budak ni...

Pastu hari tu ada kes budak lelaki umur 16 (kalau tak silap) yang bunuh  budak perempuan umur 14 (kalau tak silap jugak). Mula-mula budak lelaki ni pegi buat police report kata kawan dia bunuh girl ni tapi last-last kantoi dia yang buat. Again bunuh dengan cara menikam. Tak sure apa kesudahan cerita ni tapi memang dah kena tangkap la budak ni.

And then kes budak kat Sarawak kena bunuh and tanam tu. Pasal yang ni ada 2 version; ada kata geng jahat ajak dia join geng tapi dia tak mau so diorang bunuh dia. Another version kata dia nampak geng jahat ni curi motor so bunuh dia supaya tak bocor rahsia. Kesian budak ni. Jadi baik pun kena bunuh. I tau sorang dah kena tangkap tapi mastermind dia I tak tau dah kena ke belum.

Itu kes oleh orang-orang biasa. Yang orang-orang luar biasa macam kes jutawan kosmetik and friends yang kena bunuh and bakar tu. Itu lagi gila. Bunuh and bakar macam nak bakar sampah aje eh. Ngeri kan.

Orang gila dengan cara orang gila (mostly schizo la) and orang yang tak de schizo pun sama je. Tak boleh nak differentiate their cause of action. So rasanya semua orang gila lah kot kan. Sebab kalau tengok macam tak gila tapi buat benda-benda gila. So sape yang gila and sape yang tak ni. Semua ada potensi gila lah kot. Nauzubillah......

I rasa the only way untuk elak diri jadi serious sampai macam ni ialah dengan cara mendekatkan diri dengan Allah. Bila ada masalah, kepada-Nya lah tempat kita mengadu. Kat keluarga and kawan-kawan pun boleh jugak jadi tempat mengadu tapi diorang boleh takat dengar and bantu mana yang termampu. At least kalau mintak bantuan Allah boleh jugak mintak agar diberi ketenangan ke, kesabaran ke kan. Something yang tak dapat nak diberi oleh manusia lain. So sama-samalah kita berdoa agar diri kita dan keluarga kita serta kawan-kawan kita tidak akan diuji sedemikian rupa. Takut ok. Takut tak mampu menghadapi. Mudah-mudahan kita akan sentiasa dilindungi. Amin....

Disastrous desert

We'll be having potluck lunch today and as usual I am contributing for desert; trifle pudding. My trifle is soooo not like usual that I don't feel like serving it at all. But I've promised to bring so it would be unfair if suddenly brought nthing. So belasah je lah.

Normally I would use normal tablespoon to measure the custards mixture but last night I used specific measuring spoon (bought from IKEA ok) but the end result.... huh better use normal tablespoon. Tension betul ok. Next time I know la, if using that measuring spoon, have to add more than the recipe.

Anyway, it's only the custards yang problemo. Others are ok. Actually I made extra to giveaway to some friends but I now I'm having doubts; to give or not to give. Hehehe.... Tapi dah niat nak bagi kan so kenalah bagi jugak. So kepada yang bertuah tu (errr... bertuah ke sebab tak berapa nak jadi aje the trifle) silalah nantikan kehadirannya ok.

Tapi nampak gayanya I wouldn't be able to join them for lunch la. This whole week (except for yesterday) I've promised Kak Diana that I would be having lunch with her. So selamat berpotluck ye. If ada rezeki, can still have the leftovers. If not pun tak pe sebab tak la makan twice. Selamat perut guwe dari membesar bagai juara. Hehehe.....

Testing 123

Dah lama tak de gambar dalam blog ni kan. Actually ada masalah dengan Picasa ni. So kebetulan few blogger pun ada masalah sama dengan I. And I dah dapat solution on how to post photos without having to fork out any money. So bolehlah amik gambar banyak-banyak lepas ni. Bosan ok cerita tanpa gambar. Dah la I ni suka cerita panjang lebar. Too wordy tanpa gambar pun bosan jugak kan. So meh kita try upload gambar kejap.

Yeay berjaya!!!! Blog ini akan ceria semula dengan gambar-gambar ok. Tapi kan, ada sikit kureng la paparan bila jadi second author ni. Macam version lama je. Tak pe lah yang penting boleh upload gambar. Yang lain-lain tu belakang kira.

Wah memang kena beli la camera yang telah diusha hari tu. Alasan sangat kannnn.....

Sudah pandai ok

Last Friday, during lunch hour I had a baking project with siapa lagi kalau bukan baking partner yang hebat itu. Have to spell her name lah kan kalau tak nanti ada yang tak puas hati sebab I tak tulis nama kawan-kawan kat sini kan. (insert sarcasm here). Puan Khairolin atau lebih dikenali sebagai Klynn atau Puan K adalah sifu pada hari itu. Dan studentnya adalah saya Zainiah Aini yang juga dikenali sebagai Eny dan seorang lagi teman saya iaitu Puan Nazriyanti atau lebih mesra di panggil Cik Yanti atau Yanti. Ok puas hati? (again insert some sarcasm here).

Dah lama actually nak buat project ni tapi biasalah terhalang dengan keterbatasan waktu. Finally berjaya jugak. Yanti nak ikut sama sebab dia pun berminat nak belajar buat kek ni. Bagus the more the merrier. Nanti boleh gilir-gilir buat kek. 

Just like Kylnn said before, kek ini adalah super easy to make. Bak kata mereka berdua; kek pemalas. Hahaha.... Kesian kek tu kena cop pemalas. Actually bukan kek pemalas tau tapi kek orang pemalas. Baru la refer pada tukang buat and not the cake itself kan. Hehehe... Eny dah mula merepek. Anyway, after the first round, we had pizza for lunch. And then decided to make the second one. Bahan mentah pun banyak je lagi tu. So we prepared the mixture, put into the oven and left for office. Klynn siap berdoa supaya kek itu menjadi. Hehehe...

The first one I took to office and distribute to those who were there. Freshly baked cake adalah super yummy sebab the crust tu kind of chewy. I so love it that way; chewy on the outside but super moist on the inside. Of all people who tasted it, adalah sorang yang sangat-sangat suka and she asked me to bake another for her. Wah-wah special order ye. Hehe.... It's not her first la kot sebab she kind of like aje everything I brought to office so sebab tu setiap kali buat apa-apa I mesti ingat kat dia. Bagus bila ada orang suka makan apa kita buat ni kan. The second cake pun menjadi juga and telah dikongsi bersama-sama selepas cross country hari tu.

Last night I baked the cake on my own. Yelah hari tu kan ada supervision from the sifu. Sangat betul kata sifu; kek ini sangat senang dibuat. Tak terasa macam baking pun sebab tak perlu keluarkan all my baking stuff tu kan. Nak sukat pun just guna paper cup aje. Take this and that, add here and there and walla dah siap. Masuk dalam oven and pray it's gonna be good. Mula-mula tu macam risau sebab tak nampak macam naik pun but after sometime barulah naik and the smell ohhhhhh..... Sebelum tido sempat la makan one small slice.

I baked the cake for Kak Diana. She got some bengkel for a week here so everyday mesti jumpa for lunch. Bukan selalu boleh jumpa sebab dia kat Jalan Duta sana so peluang yang ada perlu digunakan sebaik mungkin. Now that I have super simple cake to bake, I wouldn't mind baking over request. Nanti nak try buat cupcakes version pulak. Wah balik cuti CNY nanti nak show off sikit lah kat my sister. I can baked cake on my own now ok. Hahaha...... Ooopsss ni dah ada niat tak baik ni nanti takut kek tu terus tak nak  jadi. Hah padan muka. Hahaha......

So kek coklat dah pass. Lepas ni nak buat apa pulak eh. My sister, Jannah baked seriously sedap orange cake. Tapi macam banyak step nak buat tu. Entah boleh ke tidak nak buat ni. Kalau pass buat kek tu nanti boleh la buat both cake pulak for any occasion; most probably masa pot luck la. Ni asyik bawak trifle aje takut ada yang bosan. Hehehe....      

Jalan-jalan Thaipusam

Ini cerita basi minggu lepas tapi sajelah nak cerita jugak kat sini kan. Last Thursday kan public holiday. So as promised, I tag along with Bang Long semasa nak menyerahkan kunci kepada new owner. Left home around 8.15am dalam keadaan mengantuk dan pening-pening lalat sebab tak boleh tidur malam tu. Kat area rumah Bang Long tu ada satu kedai mamak yang ada roti canai sedap. So I telah belasah 2 keping roti canai sebagai sarapan.

I thought janji dengan new owner tu pukul 10am tapi Bang Long kata orang tu terlupa and janji pukul 11am pulak. So merasa la kami menunggu sejam lebih kat rumah tu. Tapi tidak la duduk melahu saje ye. I cari batu. Yup kat rumah tu ada batu-batu cantik yang guna buat landskap tu. So I keliling satu rumah and cari di setiap celahan pokok. Tengok I tertonggeng-tonggeng tu Bang Long pun hairan. "Kau buat apa tu?". "Cari batu. Cantik batu-batu ni...". Hahaha... nampak sangat tak de keje eh. I pun tak tau nak buat apa dengan batu-batu tu lagi sebab bab-bab deco ni memang la fail.

Tepat jam 11am the new owner tu arrived. We were inside the house masa tu. Tetibe ternampak the wife. Agak terkejut la jugak ok. Dia pakai purdah. Nampak mata je. Yang datang suami, isteri, anak lelaki besar, anak perempuan kecil dan emak kepada tak tau la suami atau isteri itu. Bang Long dah jumpa dengan wifey tu banyak kali tapi tak pernah pulak cerita yang diorang ni pakai purdah ke apa. Don't get me wrong ye. Walaupun I bengang dengan tenant sebelum ni yang pakai tudung labuh tapi perangai macam hampeh tapi itu tidak la menyebabkan I nak stereotype kan semua orang kan. Cuma terkejut aje sebab tak pernah la deal directly dengan orang berpurdah.

I entertain the wife and Bang Long entertain the husband. Ok la orangnya. Sangat peramah. She really love the house (although rumah lama) mostly because of the land area; rumah corner lot yang ada tanah yang luas dan landskap yang boleh tahan la cantik. Ada pokok palma etc. The husband tu arkitek dekat Hijaz Kasturi rupa-rupanya. I did asked whether dia nak buat balik the whole house or what. They said nope, cuma akan repair mana-mana yang rosak aje. Baguslah diorang ni, sangat bersederhana although kaya sebenarnya. They bought the house in cash ok. Macam tak percaya je kan. So I guess diorang memang suka benda lama-lama ni kot; they have old Mercedes station wagon and now buying house with 80s design.

Settled that kami terus ke IKEA. Mak ada kirim something. Since I kind of half awake and dizzy, Bang Long ajak minum dulu. Caffeine tidak memberikan sebarang kesan ye. Makin pening and menyebabkan I rasa nauseous aje. So jalan-jalan dalam keadaan separuh sedar adalah tak best. Beli apa yang patut aje pastu pegi Harvey Norman dekat IKANO pulak. Me and Bang Long adalah sangat gadget freak so macam-macam benda kitorang tengok. Dalam pening-pening tu I sempat la terbekenan dekat satu camera ni. I ingat nak beli lah nanti. Camera lagi.... hahaha.....

Berjam-jam lepak kat Harvey Norman pastu ke Midvalley pulak around 4pm. Again pegi semua kedai gadget; Harvey Norman, Sony Center dan entah apa-apa kedai lagi. Bila dah bosan, lepak baca newspaper. Kalau ikutkan I pening tahap dewa dah dan mengantuk tapi macam tak sampai hati la pulak nak balik sebab Bang Long ajak makan dengan Kak JC (his sweetheart). So tunggu lah jugak and she finished her work around 7.30pm.
We had dinner at Chilis. Unfortunately I didn't really enjoyed the food; feeling nauseous and all. Kesian Bang Long; belanja makan mahal-mahal tapi I macam tak berapa nak makan. Rasa guilty aje tapi nak buat macam mana kan. Paksa-paksa kang mau termuntah kat situ. Bang Long nak hantar I balik tapi I kata I can drive myself. Malas lah nak menyusahkan dia although cuak jugak I nak drive dalam keadaan macam tu. Cuak tapi bila drive laju semacam jugak. Hahaha.... Alhamdulillah reached home safely around 9.15pm.

Seharian kat luar. Penat gila. Ingatkan dah penat dan mengantuk tu boleh la tidur tapi hampeh. Kan best kalau ada button tidur. Tekan sleep aje terus sleep. Mesti tak de masalah insomniac dah. Hehehe..... 

Just let it go

I don't understand why;

• people would still come and read this blog even when they obviously don't like me nor the content here 
• people care too much with whom I spend my time with and who my friend are; it's my right to write or not to write my friends name in here right?
• people would still view me negatively no matter how pure my intention is

Ok maybe I shouldn't reveal too much. Everything I wrote here is taken negatively by some peoples. I have enough of being misunderstood. I don't care anymore. Suit yourself. Interpret according to whatever you want. I don't owe anyone any explanation. I can't satisfy everyone kan. I care those who cares and not those who not. 

We did try to clear stuff regarding the misunderstanding but I guess it's not 100% cleared. Enough la. Couldn't  see my friend cry anymore. Oooopsss terbagi tau pulak. Hahaha..... We didn't even started on it yet when she cried. When I cried during Kak Mah last day, she said she's not easily touched with stuff like this but when facing this kind of situation, she's the first to cry. I was touched then but now it's kind of funny pulak. Boleh jadi modal mengusik ni. Hahaha.... At least she was tough during the session. 

I seriously don't think whatever was on the mind of whoever involved in this will changed; the perception and all. So there's no point in pursuing anymore. No point to defend ourself if the perception is already there; stuck in the mind. At least the fella said sorry. Whether the fella really mean it or not is not for me nor my friend to judge. Let it be between the fella and the Almighty. 

So the case end here.  

26th FTAAA Cross Country 2011

I definitely have no idea what I've gotten myself into when I registered for this event. Yesterday a teammate posted on FB about the route. And another teammate instructed us to wear old shoes coz it'll be very dirty then. Alamak..... that sounds scary to me.

So this morning we (Taufik, Edwin, Leen, Ana and me) met at our usual port around 6.45am and car pooled from there. Later we were joined with Rizmi and Abg Ghani. Taufik parked his car quite far from the event venue. The walk would be some kind of warming up la konon-kononnya. I was contemplating whether to run or not during the warming up walk and especially when listening to the instruction regarding the route. I have never been this worried about running. Tapi dah alang-alang sangat to chicken out pun. So teruskan jugak lah.

For my category, starting time was at 7.55am. Start off with hilly track. Adoi!!! Later into some sort of jungle and was stuck at the trail. Traffic jam ok. Haha. Got few steep and slippery track. Out from the jungle into jogging track and up to grassy hill. Quite steep again. And then the steps and it ended somewhere around Tugu Negara. On the road again, up and down and later into the Lake Garden with the steepest hill ever. I can't feel my leg anymore but when asked, the secretariat said another halfway to go. Half? Oh My God.....

Although I kind of like the view along the route, but almost half of the time I was questioning myself. Why am I doing this? What have I put myself into? It's only 8.30am; others are still sleeping and here I am panting like nobody business. Why? Why? Why? Hahaha... Psycho like that. But at least I didn't think about the freaky emotional incident that was on my mind 24/7. It's all about the run only. Oh no not another hill. I can't feel my leg. How far away? I so need a 100 plus right now. Oh no.... my new socks. Why am I wearing a new socks? Bla...bla...bla.... Things you do just to keep pushing yourself and not focusing too much on the pain and stuff kan.  

Finally I reached the finishing line around 9.30am. Yup it took me one and a half hour to finish the 6.2km distance. Definitely the longest and toughest run ever. I will never ever do cross country ever again. Macam nak mati ok. I was the last from the team. As usual la kan. Hehehe..... But at least I finished it and manage to run halfway. But seriously, I will never try cross country ever again. I'll stick to fun run. 

I am so tired and aching everywhere. Had my lunch around 4pm and yet couldn't finish it. Too exhausted that I lost my appetite. How la to go to work tomorrow. Hehehe..... Sendiri cari pasalkan. I think I'm getting a bit weaker la. Kind of tak larat aje nak lari and when I run, I felt a little bit dizzy. Maybe it's due to that stressing thought. But today is better coz I don't think about that when I run. Once I've settled it hopefully things will get back to normal. Get back my sleep, and focus on everything else. Praying for the best. Amin.                        

Malam Gemilang KKLW 2010

Terlalu beremosi sampai terlupa nak cerita pasal sisi kehidupan yang lain. 10 orang tak suka kita tapi ada 1000 yang lain yang menyayangi dan menerima kita seadanya. Jadi kenapa la nak kecoh-kecoh pasal yang 10 tu kan. Betul jugak tu tapi biasalah I ni kan sentiasa beremosi.

Anyway, although telah sedikit terluka with what happened during the elevator incident, I still went to the Majlis Malam Gemilang KKLW 2010 yang telah diadakan di Hotel Palace of The Golden Horses. My first time there. And my first time wearing baju kurung moden yang begitu mengikut bentuk badan. Malu ok tapi belasah je lah. All this while kan I setia dengan baju kurung aje so saje la nak pakai kurung moden pulak. Later I buat kebaya pulak eh. Hehehe....

Since we all sampai agak awal, nothing much to do. Cuma tolong-tolong sikit kat kaunter pendaftaran and tengok tagging meja. I guess the arrangement of decorations, lighting and stuff during Malam Jasamu Dikenang at Double Tree by Hilton adalah lebih cantik, mewah and very exclusive. Dekat Palace of the Golden Horses ni macam biasa-biasa je. Padahal hotel ni kind of mewah la jugak kan. Tak kisah la tu yang penting majlis berjalan dengan lancar kan. 

Masa pendaftaran ada dapat nombor untuk cabutan bertuah. Since I tolong jaga kejap, boleh lah nak pilih-pilih nombor kan. I was looking for number 134 (my birth date) tapi tak jumpa. Puas cari. Last-last I jumpa 478 (month and year) so I took that. Boleh la tu. Yang kelakarnya, puas la I cari nombor 134 tu kan, tak jumpa-jumpa tapi one of the staff amik and terus dapat the number. But like I said before me and lucky draw ni memang tak berjodoh. Tak pernah la dapat pun. The nearest number with mine yang naik ialah 468. Ish satu nombor je beza. Tak pe lah bukan rezeki I kot nak menang benda-benda easily. Kena earn it the hard way gitu. Hehehe....

I got many compliments regarding my attire that night. Thank you guys for noticing. Hahaha.... And at least ada sesuatu yang mengembirakan kan, tak la hati tu terbawa-bawa dengan emosi di siang hari tu. Ramai yang tegur sebab tak pernah nampak I pakai macam tu and mostly said I look sweet. Hahaha... Tak tipu eh. So pujian perlu diberikan kepada tailor yang telah menyiapkannya dalam masa yang singkat. Although ada la sikit yang tak kena (a bit ketat at one area) tapi I suka je baju tu. Keketatan itu akan dijadikan modal untuk lebih gigih loosing weight and toning down a few parts. Hehehe.....

This time around I duduk semeja dengan staff from others department; Klynn, Anis, Rohanis, Taufik and Rizmi from KR, Aizat from PCN N9 & Melaka, En. Ap from NKRA, Iyadh from PSM and of course Cik Yanti from admin. Good friends, decent foods and non-stop talking and laughing will always resulted in one thing; kemelecetan mulut yang sangat kronik. Like seriously ok. Sangat tersiksa menghadapinya. Dah la I can't  find the wax to cover the protruding wire. So terpaksa tahan ajelah. 

The foods was ok. I did't taste everything tapi overall ok lah. I paling suka the sago melaka sebab sedap and portion dia banyak; comes with fresh strawberries and kiwi lagi. And a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Memang best. Makan banyak-banyak so puas jugaklah nak cover the perut. Hahaha..... I guess it's not really the food yang menyebabkan I makan banyak but the companions. Gelak-gelak and tak sedar makanan dalam pinggan dah licin. 

As for the guest artist plak, I really enjoyed performance by Nash. Mula-mula ada young artist ni; I didn't know her nama just something Gambus. So keep calling her Gambus-Gambus. Each time I said that, Cik Yanti akan gigih memberitahu yang nama dia ialah Fauziah Gambus. Hahaha.... And Mariam Ahmad in which I tak tau pun sape. Seriously I tak pernah dengar nama dia pun. Pastu ada Zur Eda. She was someone yang agak popular jugaklah masa I kecik-kecik dulu. Although I tak la minat dia or tau lagu-lagu dia but surprisingly  I can sing her famous song ok. Klynn said she like her song and she went "na na na na....." and I continued with "Hai apa khabar....apa khabar sayangku, lama tak jumpa.... terasa sungguh rindu". Hahaha.... tergelak sakan ok. I pun macam tak percaya je I can sing that song. Same goes with Nash. I tak hafal pun lagu dia but I can sing along the song. Sangat nostalgic ok. Teringat masa kecik-kecik. 

From our table, Aizat menang hamper and En. Ap menang coffee maker kalau tak silap. Yang lain-lain nada. Paling frust ialah Anis sebab her number was 003 and it was 004 yang menang. Dapat Nokia C3 plak tu. Rugi...rugi..... Tapi takpe lah. Yang penting kita enjoy the night.

It was way past my bedtime so mata adalah sangat mengantuk masa drive balik tu. Thank God ada teman; CC and Siti Zaiton. Send CC first at office and barulah balik. Siti stay at the same apartment as I am so mudah la kalau ada event malam-malam macam tu. Ada teman nak balik. 

Despite everything behind the scene yang berlaku; of last minute cancelling possibility la; of drama yang tak pasal-pasal I and my friend menjadi mangsa fitnah la, of tak cukup tempat thus ada urus setia yang tak de tempat duduk la dan macam-macam lagi tu, secara keseluruhannya majlis adalah well organized. Makan ok, performance ok and the best is of course la hadiah lucky draw yang sangat best. Although I tak menang apa-apa but still tengok ada hadiah best terasa la macam semangat sikit kan. Congratulations kepada semua yang terlibat. Bila kita buat kerja, kenalah ketepikan hal-hal peribadi and fokus kepada tanggungjawab utama iaitu laksanakan tugas sehabis baik, tak gitu?      

Unfortunately, I tak de gambar la nak tunjuk. Camera tak de. Hehehe..... Alah kalau ada camera pun, macam la boleh nak upload kat sini kan. Hehehe....

Defamation / Slander / Fitnah

I shouldn't let bad people action to affect me or my life but what can I do. I'm just a normal human being with feelings. If there's only a delete button to delete any unwanted emotion and memories kan best. There was an incident  on Wednesday and it has affected me ever since. Someone has said something in a very harsh way ie; biadap. I was so blurred when it happen because I just don't know what the fella was saying. There were actually 3 of us who were cornered in the elevator by that fella. Me and my friend was accused of doing something we didn't even know of. A cased of being defamed, slandered or simply a fitnah. 

I was deeply affected by that. Was and still. No intro or anything just a non-stop harsh stuff. What makes me really angry is that this fella simply made an accusation without even checking the facts. And adding salt to the wound is this fella is telling everyone about it. And no one seems to care to check on the facts. They just believe what being told. So let me share something about fitnah from islamic point of view.

Al-Humazah : 1

"Celakalah mereka yang mengumpat dan memfitnah"

An-Nur : 19

"Orang yang ingin agar (berita) perbuatan yang keji itu tersiar di kalangan orang-orang beriman, bagi mereka azab yang pedih di dunia dan akhirat. Allah mengetahuinya sedang kamu tidak mengetahui"

Al-Isra'a : 36

"Dan janganlah kamu mengikuti apa yang kamu tidak mempunyai pengetahuan tentangnya. Sesungguhnya pendengaran, penglihatan dan hati, semuanya itu akan diminta bertanggung jawab tentangnya"

Al-Baqarah : 191

"Dan fitnah itu lebih besar bahayanya dari pembunuhan"

An-Nur ; 23-24

"Mereka yang memfitnah perempuan suci, celakalah di dunia dan akhirat; bagi mereka hukuman yang dahsyat di hari pengadilan; lidah, tangan dan kaki mereka menjadi saksi di atas perbuatan mereka"

Al-Buruj : 10

"Orang yang memfitnah orang mukmin, kemudian tidak bertaubat, bagi mereka azab jahanam dan neraka yang membakar"

Khutbah Rasulullah di Mekah : 23/2/632

"Menyebut 15 aspek sosial. Satunya : Jangan memfitnah"

Dari Imam Ghazali

"Mengumpat itu dosanya sama dengan berzina 30 kali"

Dari Imam Al-Mawardi

"Orang yang biasa mengumpat, isi batinnya kotor"

I so love the last ones. I'm not making this stuff. Took this from here. So fikir-fikirkan lah ye. If you are sinful towards Allah, you can always asked forgiveness from Him. But when you wronged people, only that people can forgave you. This served as a reminder to myself too. I'm collecting a lot of pahala from those who wronged me. Alhamdulillah for I have a lot of sins to cover for. One of it is for not being able to simply forgive and forget. Again, I'm just human being with emotions; I haven't mastered the talent quite yet. I have patients but I won't easily forgive and forget. My bad. Pemaaf itu sifat yang mulia. I know that but it's easier said than done. 

So kepada mereka yang berkenaan, ingatlah, dosa sesama manusia ni, hanya manusia yang dapat memaafkan. Janganlah biarkan akal fikiran kita dikaburi oleh fitnah atau umpatan yang belum tentu kebenarannya itu. Carilah kebenaran supaya kita tidak terjebak dalam kancah fitnah yang akhirnya akan merugikan diri kita sendiri.

This thing will not end here. Well unless and until that fella cleared my name. And my friend name. I'm not asking too much, right. 

The start of a new me

It's only 7.10am and I'm already exhausted; mentally and physically. Didn't sleep at all last night; not even for a second ok. So this morning I'm kind of zombie like. Headache, tummy not feeling good and feel a bit nauseous. Something is going on and I've been thinking about it every second. Hate it and hate people who make me feel this way. 

How I missed the good old times where Abah would picked me from work and all the way home we would talk. Mostly about stuff at work. I'm sucks in handling people and Abah would give me all kind of advice and stuff to do to be a good manager; especially in managing people. After all his great advice, I guess I'm still the same; still sucks in managing people. Maybe I've been too soft on people and let then pijak my head. Maybe it's about time for me to be more vocal instead of keeping quiet and bottled everything. I have enough of all this nonsense. It's time to react. 

I hate confrontation because I know I'm not good at it. I would prefer shutting my mouth and just ignore. I don't mess with people so don't mess with me. But I guess to some peoples, they won't be satissfy with me ignoring everything. They need some reaction or emotion kot. So let play it according to their way pulak. You want me to talk? So I'll talk.

I know people will hate me more but they have no one to blame but themselves. Who asked them to wake the sleeping tiger kan. You've asked for it so don't blame me for whatever reaction I might show after this. Like I said, I have enough. There's limit for my patient and someone crossed it recently. So let show some emotion here. 

Let the new game begin. 

Larian pertama 2011

It's been a while since my last run. So yesterday after work pegi berlari bersama Siti and Mas kat taman atas bulatan tu. Last time I ran there was with En. Afnan. Wow that was few years ago. Anyway, semalam berlari sambil merasmikan kasut baru, stokin baru and arm pouch baru. Hehehe...... Entah kenapa, bila pakai benda-benda baru ni semangat tu lebih la sikit kan. Tapi tak kuasa la pulak kalau setiap kali pun nak pakai yang baru. Amboi banyak duit!!!

Surprisingly yesterday I managed to run until the last hill yang memang agak steep tu. Masa tu memang dah tak larat sangat dah and terus jalan aje. Roughly ada la dalam 3km kot berlari semalam tu. Next time kena make sure lari lebih jauh lagi. Siti and Mas nak jadikan routine berlari setiap Selasa. I pulak nak jadikan routine puasa setiap Isnin sampai Khamis. Kalau puasa tak larat lah pulak nak lari. Hmmm.... tengok lah macam mana nanti. Kalau tak puasa boleh la join berlari. Kalau tak, kenalah cuba gigihkan diri untuk berlari during weekend. Padahal kat rumah tu ada running track with nice view tapi malas ya rabbi nak turun. Entah bila dapat nak gigih tu tak tau lah.

This weekend ada acara merentas desa kat Padang Merbok. Nama pun merentas desa kan, I rasa route dia mesti agak mencabar ni. Hopefully boleh la buat sampai habis within the time frame. I ni kalau takat nak berlari kat laluan yang mendatar aje ok la lagi tapi kalau ada bukit-bukit ni yang lemah ni. Nak train selalu kat atas bulatan tu dah tak sempat. Tengok la kalau rajin boleh lari lagi satu round this Friday. Ada sape-sape nak join?

Malam ni pulak ada majlis kat Hotel Palace of The Golden Horses. As usual kena la bertugas jadi usherette. Thank God esok cuti so balik lewat pun tak la kisah sangat. My dress tonight adalah kurung moden yang sangat bodyfit. Tak pernah lagi pakai seketat ini tapi nak buat macam mana. Kekecewaan yang tak terungkap. Hehehe... Tak boleh la nak makan banyak kalau dah baju tu cukup-cukup aje untuk cover perut sekarang. Nanti ada yang tertetas jahitan nanti ni. Hahaha....

Anyway, kepada kawan-kawan yang akan attend tu, see you there. 

Kena cekup

Lately banyak betul kes kena cekup berkhalwat dekat kuarters Putrajaya. Daring betul civil servant sekarang ni kan. Buat kat kuarters pulak tu. Hai memang saje la cari pasal kan. I pun tak faham la kenapa nak buat benda-benda macam tu. Ada yang single-mingle and ada jugak suami orang-isteri orang tu. Buat kat kuarters yang ada ramai kawan sepejabat pulak tu. Orang sekarang ni dah kurang rasa malu kot. Malu satu hal. Tak takut balasan tuhan ke????

Anyway, I guess one of these days, I pun akan kena cekup jugak la kot. Mana taknya, rumah I tu lelaki silih berganti masuk. Kadang-kadang sorang, kadang-kadang berdua, bertiga atau lebih. Rupa pun macam-macam. Kalau ada jiran-jiran yang "terlebih prihatin" tu memang tak lama lagi akan ada la JAWI mengetuk pintu rumah I. Eh mana boleh ketuk, pintu and grill jauh. So kena goncang grill aje la kot nooo. 

Nak buat macam mana, I got 9 brothers ok. Minus Ayum yang masih nampak budak tu, yang lain-lain adalah taller and looks almost like the same age as me. Ok sebenarnya nak kata I ni awet muda lah tu kan. Hahaha...... And living alone, memanglah menjadi pusat tumpuan kepada ahli keluarga untuk datang menumpang for what ever reason. Tak salah kan. Nama pun adik-beradik.

But then walaupun adik-beradik, rupa adalah lan-lain ye. Ada yang cerah ada yang gelap. Ada yang macam melayu and ada yang macam mamak. Itu hasil dari my mom yang ada banyak sangat darah campuran. Pastu ada yang kurus ada yang berisi. Yang pasti semuanya tinggi-tinggi tak macam kakak diorang yang alahai comelnya ni hah. Hehehe.....

Yang paling selalu datang of course la Eman. Bang Long pn ada lah jugak. Eman dah la selalu datang malam-malam nak amik barang la apa la. Tapi selalunya dia tak la singgah lama-lama. I rasa paling lama pun dalam 30 minutes la kot sebab selalu dia datang dengan kawan and kawan dia tunggu kat bawah. Tapi kadang-kadang kitorang makan sama like what we did here. Nothing wrong pun kan.

So andai kata lah I kena cekup nanti, I nak tengok jugaklah how those JAWI people deal with this. Adakah mereka akan start off dengan terus melenting menuduh and whatnot atau dia akan tanya baik-baik. Kalau dia tanya baik-baik, boleh la kitorang jawab baik-baik and produce our IC je lah kan. Sah-sah kat situ bin and binti sama and alamat pun sama. Kalau tetiba ada pulak yang tak bawak IC ke apa, boleh la call Mak Abah.

Tapi kalau ada yang terus melenting tak pasal-pasal like one of my friend pernah kena, hah masa tu kita kasi dia satu das jugak. Paling best, amik nama semua and buat report. I tau la diorang ni sekadar menjalankan tugas kan but still kena la ada procedure. Lagipun kita tak tau dengan siap kita deal tu. Kalau dah betul yang salah berkhalwat tu, memang padan lah muka diorang kan. Tapi kalau yang tak salah like the situation I am, tak kan la nak terus serang aje kan. Kan ke sendiri akan malu.

Eh I ni lebih-lebih je fikir eh. Padahal tak de apa pun. Hehehe.... Ala I bukan apa, sebab ada kawan yang dah pernah kena so I ni sekadar beringat aje lah. Kawan I tu kena masa adik perempuan dia datang rumah. Pastu JAWI yang datang pulak main serang aje. Memang saje cari pasal la tu kan. Tapi kawan I ni berani. Dia kasi je sedas-dua kat orang tu. I takut I kalau kena mau menggelupur panik. Hahaha..... 

Hopefully I tak perlulah nak deal dengan situasi ni. Ye lah kalau tetibe kecoh-kecoh kat rumah tu, malam-malam pulak tu mesti ada yang dah pandang serong kat I kan. Bukannya diorang akan tau hal sebenar pun. Ni sama macam bila kita shopping pastu bila nak keluar sensormatic tu berbunyi. Padahal bukannya kita mencuri pun. Selalunya salah cashier yang lupa nak matikan sensor la ni. Hah I pernah kena tu. Walaupun tak salah tapi malu la weh. So sama la jugak kalau JAWI datng malam-malam. Orang mesti terus aim salah je kan. Tapi so far jiran-jiran same level I ni tau and dah kenal with my family.

Moral of the story, kenalah bersangka baik dan berbaik-baik dengan jiran kita. Yelah kalau berbaik-baik, mestilah kita akan sedikit-sebanyak kenal dengan ahli keluarga atau saudara-mara dia dan dapatlah mengurangkan sangkaan tidak baik kita. Not that I ever have that sangkaan buruk towards my neighbour lah. So mari start beramah-mesra sekarang. Hehehe.....

Got it!

Alhamdulillah dah dapat the letter together with 378 others. Congratulations everyone! The last time rakyat 2/2006 dikumpulkan adalah in 2009 for our graduation day. Rindu kat kawan-kawan and auditorium tadi kecoh sangat dengan keseronokan semua yang ceria dapat berkumpul ramai-ramai. Sampai tak dan la nak tegur semua. To those yang I tak tertegur tu sorry la nooo. Kan best kalau session tu one whole day. Panjang sikit masa reunion kan.  

Terasa insaf mendengar amanat tadi. So basically we're going to stuck with this grade for another 4 years. Lama tu. Hopefully sempat la nak belajar banyak benda-benda baru lain. Yelah nanti kalau jadi boss kena la tau banyak benda kan. Kalau tak sia-sia je kena kelentong ngan anak buah. Hahaha.... 

Eh tadi macam banyak je benda nak cerita tapi ni dah mental block sikit. Actually ada satu kekecewaan nak share tapi bahaya letak sini. Maklum lah ada ramai pembawa mulut yang purposely baca untuk sebar cerita so tak leh la nak tulis kat sini. 

Anyway, selain happy dapat surat, I happy sangat bila ramai compliment about my weight. Hehehe.... I like! Ok la serius tak tau nak tulis apa dah ni. Bye.

Down memory lane

Ehem..ehem... I'm typing this entry using my new cutie pie Eee PC. Hehehe.... Everything is smaller but so far it is better than the F9E in terms of speed. I've downloaded few stuff and hopefully it'll be a smooth ride with this cutie pie.

Anyway, today as planned we went to clean the already sold house. I was reminiscing the the good old times while sweeping and it makes me a bit emotional. Sedih la pulak. We keep saying, "ingat tak .....". I can still remember every furniture and it's exact position although we left the house almost 25 years ago. 

"Ingat tak dulu kita main tarik tilam kat tangga ni? Best je masa tu kan. Kalau sekarang terhentak-hentak macam tu mau tak bangun seminggu. Hahaha..."

"Ingat tak dulu kat lantai ni lah kita main luncur-luncur guna air sabun?"

"Ingat tak masa Apis kena hempap dengan dapur kat sini?"

Ingat takdulu kita tidur kat sini pastu orang nangis-nangis dengar Mak cerita?"

"Kat sini la dulu meja tempat Bang Long lukis-lukis....."

Eman keep asking me to took photos coz obviously it'll be our last time there. We'll handed it over to it's new owner this Thursday. But I was so not in photo-taking mood although I already planned that earlier. Entah la kenapa. Sekarang rasa menyesal la pulak. Left the house around noon.

After lunch we went to this biker shop; Eman wanted to buy a new rain coat and some riding gears. There's this cute little girl and she kind of attracted to me. Hahaha..... such a rare occasion ok. She is so cute thanks to her mixed blood; Mexican-Chinese. We played around whilst waiting for Bang Long and Eman to browse and buy. She can speak Malay ok. Geraaaam aje with her. Soooo cute. Didn't take take her photo though even after being asked by Eman. I guess I've lost the craze due to Picasa storage capacity. Still haven't manage to upgrade my storage. 

Anyway, Eman said it's a sign. A sign that I should be a mother soon. Iyo lah tu. Hahaha.... But the girl is sure pretty cute ones. Boleh jadi model la. Normally kids and me won't be that friendly easily. Not only kids la, adult pun sama. I guess it's really depends la. In this case, it was the girl who keep approaching me. So I layan kan aje.

Later we went to meet Siti to pass the new notebook. Seronok la tu dapat notebook baru. Kind of worried jugak actually sebab laptop ni kan hot target. Thalha punya pun dah kena kebas. Hopefully she'll take a good care of it lah. 

I had a pretty good days with Bang Long and Eman. They are really good shopping companion. Cuma kena tahan sikit la with their sarcasm. Hehehe.... 

Alamak esok the big day. Tak sabar tapi macam risau. Mudah-mudahan tiadalah berita yang mengejutkan. Amin....  

A notebook and netbook

I know I have said earlier that I won't be doing so much of shopping this month for I've overspend my money buying all kind of stuff last month kan. But what can I do when the temptation is too great and I just can't think straight when it involves IKEA and gadget. Last week we (me and mi familia) went to IKEA and besides all those small regular stuff of jar, plastic ware and what not, I bought another rack for my kitchen. So now the small kitchen is getting smaller. Hehehe....

And today I went to Low Yat Plaza with Bang Long and Eman. I'm like a kid in a candy store at IKEA and Low Yat ok. If only I can buy anything I want. Anyway, guess what I bought today? A new phone? Nope. A camera? Nope. External hard disc? Nope. Thumb drive? Nope. Ok...ok.... I'll save you from the misery. I.....errr...errr.... I bought a notebook and netbook. Hehehe.... I know...I know... I sounded like a gadget freak or those IT nerds aje kan. I can't help myself la. 

But don't worry, that notebook is not mine though. Bought if for Siti. My Asus F9E is way too expensive to be replaced just yet. I just need something smaller that I can carry everywhere especially during outstation work. So I bought another Asus and this time it's the Eee PC Seashell range. The only netbook with Atom Dual Core processor, 2GB DDR3 RAM and 320GB HDD. Syoknyeeeee........ However it came with Window 7 Starter only. Hopefully I can upgrade it at least to Basic or Home. I so wish to have the purple colour one but they don't have it so another black one for me. If only I got the purple colour, it'll be the perfect ones lah. I promised I will love and cherish my new Eee PC Seashell. As for the F9E, got to do some major upgrading in order for it to perform better. Still love it though even with it's slowness and all.

For lunch, we went to Sushi King. So I'm not a sushi-virgin anymore. I didn't know what to eat so leave it to Bang Long to order everything. Keep saying, "eeee takutnya....eeeee takutnya.....". Hahaha.... I can still remember that weird taste of green seaweed thing I ate here. Kind of worried jugak lah. There sure won't be any toilet nearby nor a toothbrush if only it happen again right. Thank God everything went well. The seaweed didn't taste that bad after all. I just had difficulty with the raw salmon. Almost gag myself munching it. Raw salmon is kind of slimey aje. Eeeeee...... The best would be the one with prawn on it.

       

Later we went to KL Plaza (if I'm not mistaken). Bang Long wanted to show us the Uni Qlo shop. He bought a sweater there and everyone loves it, me included. Unfortunately the M size is way to big for me (it's a man sweater) so we went to ladies section and I fell in love with it's hooded sweater; grey with purple polka dots. Bang Long said polka dot is so 80's . Tsk! So I try almost every design and finally bought the one in black and white that was suggested and approved by both men. Right after we went out from the shop, Eman said "tahun ni kutipan cukai negara akan jadi 100 billion sebab adanya orang-orang macam kau ni". Hahaha..... Perli lah tu. My siblings ni memang semua sarcastic. With them hati kena kering sikit. Occasionally I would still sulk la but most of the time, just ignore or fight back. Hehe.... I am such in a great mood today so I just laugh.

So there goes my Saturday. Went out very early in the morning so didn't manage to do any house chores today. As for tomorrow, we're going to wash this house. During weekdays can't wait for weekend to cover back my lack of sleeping but even during weekend, I can't wake up that late ok. Busy weh. Hehehe..... Ok nak check my new baby jap. Hopefully everyone had a great day like mine too.          

Eating fresh fruit and correct way to do so

This is very informative! Taken form email being circulated by those who care. Sharing is caring, right.

We all think eating fruit means just buying fruit, cutting it up and popping it into our mouths. It's not that easy. It's important to know how and when to eat fruit.

What's the correct way to eat fruit?

IT MEANS NOT EATING FRUIT AFTER A MEAL! FRUIT SHOULD BE EATEN ON AN EMPTY STOMACH. (Omputeh just realised this after doing extensive research. Padahal Rasulullah dah lama buat. So mari kita amalkan sunnah Nabi ni)

Eating fruit like that plays a major role in detoxifying your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss and other life activities..

FRUIT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FOOD.

Let's say you eat two slices of bread, then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it's prevented from doing so.

In the meantime, the whole meal rots and ferments, and turns to acid. The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach, and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.

Eat your fruit on an empty stomach, or before your meal! You've heard people complain: Every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc. This will not happen if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. Fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas. Hence, you bloat!

Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes - all of these will NOT happen if you eat fruit on an empty stomach.

There's no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruit becomes alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruit, you have the Secret of Beauty, Longevity, Health, Energy, Happiness and normal weight.

When you need to drink fruit juice drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't drink juice that has been heated. Don't eat cooked fruit; you don't get the nutrients at all. You get only the taste... Cooking destroys all of the vitamins.

Eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit-fast to cleanse your body. Eat fruit and drink fruit juice for just 3 days, and you will be surprised when your friends say how radiant you look!

KIWI: Tiny but mighty, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange!

AN APPLE a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C, thereby helping to lower the risk of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals.

Eating 2 - 4 ORANGES a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones, and reduce the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. Also a key source of lycopene, the cancer-fighting oxidant. Also found in watermelon: Vitamin C & Potassium..

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene, good for your eyes..

Drinking Cold water after a meal = Cancer!

Can u believe this? For those who like to drink cold water, this applies to you. It's nice to have a cold drink after a meal, however, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you've just consumed, which slows digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer... It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

Now that you know, watch out your eating habits ok. This served as a reminder to myself too. Let us work together towards a healthier life, body and soul.

Muffin yang gagal

I thought semalam tu dah awal gila. Rupanya hari ni lagi awal. Clocked in at 6.44am ok. Oh my. I've to stop myself from looking at the timing la. If not I would always try to beat it. Entah apasal nak beat my own time I pun tak tau lah. Nampak sangat dah tak de benda nak buat kan. Hehehe....

Anyway, semalam I tetiba teringin nak buat something with banana yang ada banyak kat rumah tu. Actually I try nak eat healthily by stocking some fruits. The correct way to eat fruit is to eat it before meal. Unfortunately, selalulah macam lapar sangat sampai main terjah je makan dulu and terlupa nak start off with fruits so memang takkan makan lah the fruit after that. Jadinya, instead of membiarkan ianya terbuang begitu sahaja baiklah I try masak-masak with it kan. I got 3 easy recipe; kek pisang, lempeng pisang and muffin pisang. Lempeng tu paling senang tapi macam lagi best kalau guna daun pisang in which I tak de so ok I start off dengan muffin pisang lah dulu.

After work gigih ke Carrefour untuk beli the ingredients plus a whole lot of other stuff. I tak tau lah kenapa. Asal ke Carrefour (or any other supermarket) mesti nak beli groceries. Ada je benda yang nak dibeli. Macamlah ada ramai kat rumah tu nak diberi makan kan. Hehehe.... Sampai rumah masak for iftar dulu. Just a plain mee suah aje. Pernah makan mee suah tak? It's a plain vege mee with vege's and egg aje. Tengah makan tu Rehan sampai nak tumpang kejap sebab dia tak de kunci rumah.

Project membuat muffin bermula selepas solat Maghrib. I followed the measurement right on the dot ok. The wonder of having a digital scale. Unfortunately, the end product adalah tidak begitu memberansangkan. Sayang aje. Although dalam recipe itu tak de letak chocolate chips tapi I saje la nak add kan. Sudahnya all the chips turun ke bawah. I tak sure macam mana boleh jadi macam tu. Sifu-sifu masak boleh tolong explain sikit tak? Kenapa the chocolate chips boleh mendap ke bawah instead of sitting nicely in muffin. Hmmmm..... As for the texture, macam ok lah kot. Semalam masa makan macam tak berapa aje tapi pagi ni I tengok the texture dah macam muffin biasa cuma tu lah cacat sikit dengan choc chips yang termendap itu.

Weekend ni kalau sempat I nak try buat cupcakes guna resepi yang Puan K bagi. Nampak macam senang aje. Tapi kena tengok jugak lah sempat atau tidak sebab both days dah ada aktiviti besama Bang Long.

Freaking early again

Kalau semalam 6.52am, hari ni lagi gila ok. 6.47am. Hahaha..... entah apa kena la dengan I ni agaknya. I was already in the car warming up the engine at 6.28am. Cepat betul I bersiap hari ni. But I'm not alone coming this freaking early. By the time I sampai tu dah ada banyak kereta lain.

I guess I know what makes me so gigih to come this early. A note put at my windscreen last Monday. Sakit betul hati I and I dah banyak kali talk to myself to just ignore it tapi memang tak boleh. People do makes me angry at the carpark soooooo many times but never once did I put a notes at their windscreen although temptation itu sentiasa ada. 

I don't have a parking lot for myself. So I park my car at the visitor parking. Since I came early everyday, there's always plenty of parking space to choose and pick. To park the car in the morning is not a problem at all but to leave it in the afternoon is very big problem. Everyday I've to push 3-5 cars ok. Once a while ok lagi but every freaking day memang akan menaikkan amarah la jugak kan. Ok I know those people didn't pull the handbrake but still if there's no space at all to push the car memang tak guna jugak kan. And that is what I'm facing almost everyday. Tu belum kereta besar gabak yang tolak-tolak tak gerak or worst still, pegi tarik handbrake tu. Yang ni tak tau nak classifykan sebagai apa. 

Panas je hati I setiap petang and that is not good ok. Tak pasal-pasal nak marah. To those yang double park to mesti akan kata, "Alah small matter je. Tolak je la kete tu. Bukan aku tarik pun handbrake ni. Apahal plak nak tension-tension kan". Itu kata diorang but not me. Dah banyak kali I tak boleh nak tolak sebab tak de space langsung so kena la jugak tunggu untuk salah satu tuan punya kereta itu datang dan mengeluarkan kereta diorang.

So far I pernah double park beberapa kali aje and setiap kali hati adalah tidak tenang. Sharp pukul 5 je terus I pegi alihkan kereta tu sebab by that time dah ramai yang balik and banyak je parking space available. Kenapa diorang tak boleh think the same way. Kalau dah tau block kereta orang tu, silalah balik awal or if nak stayback, alihkan kereta time orang balik la kan. Itu pun tak boleh nak fikir ke.     

Last Monday, I purposely lebihkan sikit my car from the parking line. Biarkan depan tu terjulur sikit supaya tak de orang boleh double park. Lagipun I park dekat hujung sekali sebelah tembok ramp untuk keluar. Memang tak sepatutnya ada double park pun. Tapi adalah manusia yang telah mendouble park kan kereta I jugak and letak note, "Kalau tak reti parking, tak payah parking. Menyusahkan orang je". Ooooo tau pulak I ni menyusahkan dia. Yang dia menyusahkan I sampai tak boleh nak keluar tu apahal. Ada fikir ka? Sakit betul hati I tapi I tak lah balas balik note tu. Sebab mana tau bukan orang yang double park my car yang tulis ke kan. Kang ada yang kena calar or bocor tayar kang. Nauzubillah....

Since I have no other option, I kenalah gigih datang awal and parking kat satu area in between basement 1 and 2 tu. Kat situ walaupun ada je yang double park tapi jarang la jugak and selalunya ada ruang nak tolak the car. Dulu I selalu park kat situ tapi agaknya dah ramai orang perasan yang tempat itu adalah yang terbaik maka cepat aje penuh. Nasib-nasib la kalau nak dapat kan. As for today, berjaya lah dapat tapi tinggal 1-2 je pun yang empty. Yang lain tu datang lagi awal la nampak gayanya. Diorang lagi dasyat dari I la kalau macam ni. Hehehe..... 

Hai bilalah nak selesai masalah parking ni kan. Penatlah.....

Good news and bad news

Today I clocked in at 6.52am. Apakah????? Padahal celik aje mata terus dah rasa malas nak pegi kerje. 6.52am tu kalau malas tu. Agak-agak kalau bersemangat nak kerja la kan, pukul berapa la agaknya I clocked in eh. Hahaha....

Anyway, tidak sia-sia datang keje awal gila hari ni. Dapat berita baik. Alhamdulillah. Tak sia-sia penantian selama ni. Although ada macam-macam rumours and ketidakpuasan hati about it tapi I rasa terima jelah dengan hati yang terbuka kan. We can't get everything we want. We win some and loose some. Adat la tu. Yang penting dapat jugak "benda" tu. Rezeki awal tahun. Hehehe..... Fuh risau jugak ni. Adakah akan  kena ke mana-mana atau stay saje di sini? Itu kena tunggu lah next week kan. But most probably memang stay aje lah kot. Sape lah kita, bukan high flyers pun nak dapat pegi tempat best-best tu.

Nak tau, actually malam tadi I mimpi dah pasal ni. Tak sangka it gonna happen so soon. Wah! Adakah kena percaya pada mimpi lepas ni? Hehehe.....

Tapi kan.. tapi kan.... Besides that berita gembira, hari ni ada berita sedih jugak. I akan berpisah dengan boifren I malam ni. Waaaaa..... sedih la. Pasni tak dapat la nak dating dah malam-malam. Hmmm back to boring night life la. Sob..sob..sob... sedih betul ni tau. Oh Jang Geun Seok!!!!! Kenapalah comel sangat. Sedih I nak berpisah dengan you malam ni. Tapi tak pe, I'll look out for you again. I akan cari you sampai dapat and that would be separating with big sums of money jugak tu. Hehehe..... Banyak jugak nak kena buat collection ni. Hmmm...

I ni ada weird obsession sikit. Kalau I minat kat certain actor tu (strictly Korean ye) I akan buat collection cerita-cerita dia. Maybe not all but as many as I can find la. So lepas ni kena lah gigih mencari cerita yang Jang Geun Seok berlakon. I got so many korean series and movies sampai Abah kata kalau kasi Abah makan pun tak habis. Hehehe.... my most treasured stuff tu. Dah la beli yang original. Mahal ok. Tapi banyak yang dah hilang sebab ada orang pinjam tak pulang. Kalau cetak rompak tu satu hal la jugak. Ni original ok. Sayang aje. Dah la susah nak cari dah. Tsk....

Ohhhh sedihnya nak berpisah dengan Kwang Tae Kyung (watak yang dilakonkan oleh Jang Geun Seok). And sedih juga nak berpisah dengan Shin Woo and Jeremy (both adalah nama watak ye). Sape yang nak tau, silalah tengok episode finale of He's Beautiful malam ni at 8TV jam 8.30pm. Sob...sob... patah lagi hati ini.... Lepas ni nak bercinta dengan sape pulak eh? Hahahaha...... Asyik terjatuh cinta dengan orang Korea dalam TV je ni. Bila nak jatuh cinta dengan real person pulak ni? Hahaha.....

Feeling-feeling arkitek atau engineer gitu

Just came back from lawatan tapak ke bangunan baru kementerian ini yang terletak di Lot 4G8. We were instructed to wear pants and flat shoes so hari ni merasa la pegi kerja pakai seluar. Lawatan tapak ni diadakan untuk melihat progress pembinaan and if la ada apa-apa yang nak clarification ke atau adjustment ke and sebagai persiapan untuk perpindahan nanti.  

Mula-mula sampai ada short briefing dulu regarding the building and work-in-progress. Senibina bangunan baru for our ministry adalah berkonsepkan bunga kantan. Ada 4 new buildings there; 4G8 for KKLW, 4G9 for KPKT, 4G10 for KPKK and 4G11 for KPWKM. We are the shortest ones with only 32 storeys. Tallest adalah KPWKM with 40 something storeys. Based on the pelan rekabentuk dan susunatur bangunan-bangunan itu, I bet there would be massive traffic jam once all building are occupied. If not all pun, still akan berlaku massive traffic jam jugak sebab there's only one one-way road for entrance for all the building. I wonder why they designed it that way. Ok bukan I sorang la but all yang pegi tadi. Memang mengundang kontoversi je nanti ni. Dah la parking very limited. Hai memang kena jalan kaki from home la kalau macam ni. Hehehe.....

So lepas briefing kami di bawa untuk tour the building. Before that kena la pakai safety helmet and safety boot dulu. I only took the safety helmet and not the boot so merasa la kasut kotor pijak lecak. Tak de size lagi pun. Semuanya besar gabak. Ada orang tu kan, tak mau pakai the helmet sebab takut rambut dia rosak. Boleh ke macam tu? Nak rambut selamat ke nak nyawa selamat? Hai orang macam ni pun ada. So merasa la kena tegur oleh orang kat situ kan. Dah kena suruh barulah pakai. Tu pun kejap-kejap buka, kejap-kejap buka. Annoying betul  tapi lantak dia la. If anything happened, sila la tanggung sendiri coz you asked for it. Kan..kan... 

The building belum la siap lagi pun. Still under construction. 70% aje baru siap so wire berselirat sana-sini, ada yang belum pasang tiles and the wall pun baru base coat aje. Masa kat lobi tu, bau hancing adalah begitu strong. Aiyo diorang ni main kenc aje sana sini ke? From lobi naik ke level 1 and 2 and then to level 28,29 and 30. Kalau tak biasa, boleh gayat tengok dari atas tu. dah la belum siap sepenuhnya lagi. 

Basically the floor plate are much smaller form what we have here in Parcel D so memang nampak sempit la. Alley or laluan pun agak sempit. Nanti kalau dah ada perabot sure akan nampak lagi sempit. Tapi semunya baru la kan. Mesti semangat pun baru. But then tak tau la I sempat ke tidak merasa bangunan baru tu. Yelah mana tau kan. Anything can happen nowadays. Mana la tau kot kena tukar ke tempat lain ke. 

From up there, the view adalah begitu cantik menarik tertarik kau memang da bomb! Hahaha.... Boleh nampak my house ok. Macam peghak je tengok my house. Ye lah selalunya I tengok the building from my house aje. And the view from the building adalah much nicer than my place. Rugi tak boleh nak share gambar here. Nanti kalau ada teropong, memang boleh teropong my house la. Eeee bahaya la pulak. 

Kalau masa naik kami guna lif biasa, masa turun kami guna hoist elevator. Alah the caged like yang kat luar tu and were used by the workers. Mula-mula rasa macam seriau jugak tapi bila naik tak rasa apa pun. Ok je. Selalu kalau lif bercermin kat shopping complexes tu, akan terasa jugak something kat perut ni walaupun cuma turun setingkat aje. Ni turun 30 tingkat tapi ok aje. Maybe sebab dok berborak and tak nampak sangat suasana kat luar tu kot.

Overall its a good experience la. Merasa la macam arkitek atau engineer kejap. Rugi I tak belajar pandai-pandai dulu. If not boleh jadi arkitek or engineer kan. Seronok jugak kerja macam tu sebab kita boleh nampak hasil kerja kita. Kalau buat management ni, apa sangatlah yang nak dibanggakan. Ok sila bersyukur dengan kerja sekarang Eny. Kalau tak de kerja macam mana? Iye..iye...baiklah kerja sekarang pun best.

Next tour would be in April. Mesti akan ada banyak perubahan by that time. Hopefully semuanya akan berjalan dengan lacanar aje lah. And that reminded me of many many many things yang perlu dilaksanakan before, during and after moving to that new building. In fact my SKT for this year selain yang wajib-wajib itu adalah memastian kelancaran perpindahan especially in terms of asset matter. Aiyooo.... manyak kija wooo....       

Toe cramp

As usual Eny and Mr. Google memang tak dapat dipisahkan. Hehehe.... Sayang Mr. Google ni tau. I ni kan selalu je curious. Semua benda nak tau. Dengan adanya Mr. Google tersayang ni, curiosity-curiosity itu ada la jawapannya. Senang hidup eh. Tekan-tekan dah dapat jawapan.

Anyway, tarik mengkarung (as what some people called it) or toe cramp berlaku atas beberapa sebab seperti berikut:-

1. Ill fitting shoes - Tight dressy shoes especially heels. Women shoes often converge to a point, squeezing out the toes. Oh patutlah. Lepas ni kena cari kasut yang tidak begitu pointed.
2. Exercise - Oh I tidaklah selalu exercise. Running pun occasionally bila ada event aje. But point noted. Next time bila nak running kena make sure ada sufficient warming up session.
3. Calcium deficiency - Hah yang ni memang kena do something about it. I am seriously lacking in calcium intake. Although I love everything dairy but I don't consume milk as much as I should. So lepas ni kena make sure minum susu setiap hari. Will try.
4. Drugs - Ok yang ni memang nehi nehi babuju nehi. I clean ok. Ubat-ubatan pun I tak makan inikan pure drugs.
5. Poor blood circulation - Ok yang ini pun kena do something about it. Blood circulation adalah master kepada kesihatan atau kesakitan. Will read more on this.

Ok itu tadi sebab. Ni pulak cara untuk mengurangkan kesakitan atau risiko berulangnya cramp. 

1. Take off your shoes to allow proper blood circulation in your toes. Walk out the toe cramp. Walking around increases blood flow to the foot area and relaxes the cramped muscle.
2. Massage the cramped toe. Use your hands to gently bend the toe and massage the surrounding areas. A massage releases tension in the muscles and increases necessary blood flow to the area.
3. Soak the foot in warm water to relax the muscles. This is especially helpful to ease toe cramps that are caused by exercise.
4. Prevent future toe cramps by wearing comfortable, proper fitting shoes and not overexerting the feet during exercise.
5. Exercise and stretch your toes to strengthen foot muscles, which reduces the likelihood of future toe cramps. A good toe exercise is to pick up small objects with your toes. Discontinue the exercise if it causes toe cramping, pain or numbness. If you have a medical condition, consult with a doctor before beginning toe exercises.
6. Eat a balanced diet to provide the body with the necessary nutrients for proper muscle function.

So harap-harap lepas ni boleh la kurangkan kekerapan toe cramp. I selalu kena ok. SELALU sampai naik confused kenapa kerap and mudah sangat nak kena. It got nothing to do as sejuk macam cramp kalau mandi sungai tu. Ini sebab lain ni. Oh ada sedikit precaution jugak for me and for those yang selalu kena.

Silalah berjumpa dan mendapatkan nasihat doktor to rule out any medical condition if you get toe cramp too often (macam I la tu). Walaupun toe cramp ni tidak lah melambangkan sebarang penyakit serious but it can be a sign of diabetis or neurological problem. Alamak diabetis. Takutnya. Selain cramp, I pun senang aje kebas or numb ni. Ok nanti I tanya Mr. Google kesayangan pasal numbness pulak eh. Till then, rajin-rajinlah minum susu untuk kesihatan ok.   

Silly Eny

Too many Korean drama has turn me into one of those unbelievably silly character too. Haha.... Those die hard fan of Korean drama sure knows how silly some character can be right. Especially the main ladies character but they are cute and I'm not. Hehehe.....

Anyway, last Friday I bought a whole lot of fresh groceries since my family are coming over. Tau-tau ajelah how many are there in my family kan so I bought 1kg of beef, 1 kg of squids, 1 kg of prawns and sekebun sayur. Hahaha..... The squids and prawns sat nicely in the tupperware but I had hard time to close the one with beef in it. The thing is, I know the tupperware is not big enough but I still try with all I might to close it. Sampai terjengket-jengket menekan ok. Suddenly I got that cramps. Alah yang orang selalu panggil "tarik mengkarung" tu. Ouch sakit ok. So terus stop and look for other tupperware. Settle one thing. Ok now on arranging the tupperware pulak.

I seriously need a bigger fridge la. The one I have now is already cramped with my many stuff. Entah apa-apa je ada dalam tu. So susun-susun macam buat puzzle and while I was very kusyuk and tawadduk with the arranging task, BANG! I knocked my head at the wall. Dekat bucu wall pulak tu. Double ouch! Sakit gila ok. Pening sekejap. The spot is still sore until now. I was like... hish apa aje jadi ni? Cramps la, terhantuk la. Gosok-gosok kejap my head and continue arranging and managed to close the freezer door. Fuh! 

Next ialah sekebun sayur-sayuran itu. I need to put it in a case that was stored inside the cabinet. The cabinet got 2 doors and actually it'll be easier to reach the case if I used the right door but to open the right door, I have to remove the gas canister first so macam  malas pulak nak tolak-tolak (walaupun ada roda dibawahnya) so open the left door and try to reach it from there. Reaching out my hand for the case but it was quite ke dalam so kena bersungguh-sungguh la mencuba. Suddenly I felt the pain at my neck. Iye korang. I sprained my neck pula. Triple ouch!  

Oh my. I'm defying all logic and turn myself into some silly freak. Dalam pada sakit-sakit tu, I tergelak-gelak sebab teringat pulak kat cerita Korea. Diorang pun silly macam tu lah jugak. Hahaha..... Eny yang bengong. That night I keep having cramps at both feet. Sakit ok. And my sprained neck. And my head. Semua lah sakit. Itulah bahananya apabila tidak berfikir dengan waras dan logik apabila membuat sesuatu.

I'm not sure why but I have cramps and sprained muscle easily lately. Paling kerap that "tarik mengkarung" thingy. It took jus a small movement of my toes and the cramps will came. Ada orang kata tak cukup garam. But then bukan ke I'm supposed to reduce salt to have a healthy blood pressure. Ish mana satu ni. Can anyone share with me about this cramps thingy. Thanks in advance.

p/s: My head yang terhantuk itu masih berdenyut-denyut. What should I do eh?

My apple crumble

Last night I telah berjaya merajinkan diri untuk membuat apple crumble. Betul like my friend said. Main campak-campak aje dah siap. Ok actually I tak la campak-campak aje. I buat dengan begitu lembah lembut sekali. Hahaha....

First sekali I made the crumbles dulu using cold butter, flour, sugar and a bit of salt. Butter tu I tak la potong kecik-kecik, I just pecahkan lebih kurang aje. Pastu merasa la sakit jari tu nak menghancurkan the butter. Next time I ingat nak grated dulu the butter la. Senang sikit kan. Kenapalah I tak terfikir sebelum tu kan. I ni kalau bab-bab masak ni selalu gagal untuk memikirkan dengan logic. Nama pun tak de experience kan. Selalu tak tau nak buat sesuatu tu dengan betul. Sungguh trial and error la my cooking adventure ni. Hehehe.....

For the apple pulak I guna apple hijau 3 biji, brown sugar, cinnamon powder and some lemon juice. Actually kalau ikut resepi tak de lemon juice tapi my friend said she put some lemon so I letak lah jugak. And another penderhakaan (ni I tiru cooking blogger la ni. hehehe...) ialah I masak dulu the apple although resepi tu tak de pulak kata kena masak. Again I ikut nasihat my friend ni la. She said masak sekejap but like I said, me and cooking logic does not go very well so I tak tau how sekejap is sekejap. I masak sampai mendidih gula and lemon tu.  

Right after dah siapkan semua ingredients barulah I notice yang kuantiti apple and kuantiti crumble itu adalah sangat tidak sesuai. Applenya sikit aje tapi crumblesnya mak ai banyak ok. So pastu baru I perasan. Resepi ni I amik from here. She lived in Japan so maybe lah apple di sana are much bigger than here. Cettt.... How la I tak terfikir before buat tu kan. But since dah siapkan all the ingredients and macam malas la pulak nak kupas apple lagi so I letak jugak lah dalam baking foil tu. Resepi tu kata bakar for 40 minutes.

After 30 minutes, I tengok tak de perubahan pun kat the crumble. Masak ke tidak ni. Ok maybe I should use the top heat so barulah I onkan the top heat and when the bell ring, crumbles tu dah nampak keperangan. Bila dah agak sejuk I potong and ternampaklah apple itu. Bak kata Puan K, apple tu dah macam jem aje ok. Hehehe..... Seems like I've over cooked the apple. Tak pe lesson learnt. Lenkali kalau tak mau masak, I kena biarkan lama sikit adunan apple tu or masak sekejap as in seminit dua aje.

Taste wise, like Puan K said, "sedaaaapppp". Hehehe..... toche...toche.... But that pujian comes with some improvement that I should make next time. Kena kurangkan lemon, apple kena lebih or kurangkan crumbles tu and for the sauce, kena letak lebih custard and kurangkan gula. Baik bos! Hehehe..... But the best thing is, she like it especially the crumbles. Next time kita suruh Chef D pulak merasa ok.

Tetiba terasa nak buat lagi. Boleh gitu? Over betul. Nanti nak buat bagi Mak rasa pulak. Mak mesti suka. Abah ni susah sikit nak suruh makan benda-benda western ni. Dalam banyak-banyak benda I buat, ada a few je yang dia makan and dia kata ok. Actually dia akan rasa semua masakan I cuma selalunya dia akan cakap dia tak minat. Mak makan semua. Hehehe..... Malam ni diorang nak datang so esok lusa boleh la buat apple crumble untuk Mak. 

Bestnya memasak ni. Kenapalah dulu boleh tak suka langsung eh. Hehehe.....
