I am back on my puasa mode sejak lepas raya hari tu. So I've changed my lifestyle a bit. Every puasa day (Monday to Thursday) I will wake up at 5am. Took sahur and terus solat Subuh. At first I tidur balik lepas solat and get ready for work at 7am. But lately I tak tidur dah. And it felt better that way sebab ada banyak je benda yang boleh dibuat pagi-pagi ni kan. Like doing laundry or vacuuming the house. Sorry neighbours kalau terbising pulak dengan bunyi vacuum tu.
Masa bulan puasa kan selalu ke masjid untuk berbuka. Now that bulan puasa dah habis so tak de la masjid nak sediakan makanan lagi kan. So ada 2 pilihan di situ; makan luar (or tapau) or masak sendiri. For most of the time I choose the later one. I kan selalu je kata I nak belajar masak. Tapi hangat-hangat tahi ayam je tu. I rasa tahi ayam pun lebih hangat dari semangat nak belajar masak I tu. Hahaha..... So fine sekarang I will try to improve on that part.
Because of my silly question about cooking, I telah menjadi bahan gelakkan. Fine gelaklah I tak kisah. Yang I a bit kisah ialah bila I tanya orang jawab "alah senang je tu, main campak-campak je". Don't la say like that to me. Bagitau la in detail. I ni mana la tau nak campak-campak ni. And no I don't campak-campak when cooking. I put everything nicely. Hahaha..... But true la. Bagitau la the steps and ingredients in detail. What do we need, how do we cook it and tip and tricks if any. Like how to know the kari dah masak and what not la kan. Kalau call Abah pun sama je. Kena gelak dulu baru dia bagitau.
But there are friends yang really helpful jugak. For that I thank you. Bagi bahan like serai and daun kari la and of course sharing the knowledge. So barulah I tau ada few style in making kari. Ada letak santan, ada tak letak santan and bahan pun ada yang berbeza-beza. I take note semua tu but of course I would prefer the similar recipe with what my family has served me all this while.
Cooking is fun. Kenapalah I lambat discover tu eh. But tiring too. Nak siapkan bahan, nak masak and the worst part ialah nak mengemas. Kena lap the area, basuh-membasuh and finally menyimpan peralatan yang dah digunakan. So my routine nowadays ialah balik kerja terus masak. Lepas masak terus kemas. Lepas sahur pulak ialah masa untuk menyimpan semua peralatan yang dah kering tu ke tempat asal. Macam robot je day in day out buat macam tu.
Bila nak kena masak ni kan, agak stress jugak fikir nak masak apa. Sama stress dengan fikir nak makan apa bila makan kat luar tu. Hehehe.... Yelah I ni mana la tau sangat nak masak apa kan. But Alhamdulillah dalam beberapa minggu ni I dah try masak kari ayam, kari daging, kurma daging, daging masak kicap, ayam masak kicap, and masak lemak ikan. Cuma bab rasa tu masih banyak yang perlu diperbaiki. Tak pelah yang makan I dengan Mamat je pun. Or sometimes Mastura pun ada sama. I rasa few years ago I pernah buat asam pedas. Beberapa tahun sekali baru masak so memang lah tak ingat dah how to masak kan. Masak hari-hari pun kadang-kadang terlupa jugak kan. So ok nanti nak try masak asam pedas pulak.
Everyone in my family can cook. I sorang je yang tak pandai. Dulu I tak kisah pun. Tapi sekarang rasa sangat rugi. Tak pelah. At least I dah sedar tu. So nanti I dah pandai masak mesti my family akan kagum. Akhirnya pandai jugak I masak. Hahaha.... Anak-anak yang lain dah berzaman pandai masak. Anak yang sorang ni je tertinggal keretapi. Eh belum pape dah berangan eh. Pastu kena kutuk masak tak sedap terus merajuk and tak mau masak dah. Hahaha.... Well itu yang selalunya berlaku. Tak pe tak pe lepas ni jiwa kasi kental sikit. At least I do know to cook something yang orang lain tak tau and yet menjadi kesukaan like spaghetti and few other western stuff. And later I will know what they know too. Hehehe....
But cooking really tires me out la. Balik kan dah rushing masak. Lepas makan rushing nak mandi and solat Maghrib. Pastu solat Isya'. By 9pm I dah macam penat sangat dah. So sekarang I don't really watch TV at night. Lepas Isya' I terus tido. Unless ada buat laundry at night or nak iron baju in which I try to iron all at one go on Sunday night. So I guess in the end I don't really do anything much pun in a day selain dari spend so much time in kitchen. Yelah bukan hari-hari buat laundry kan. And of course melipat kain tu kira alternate day dengan buat laundry. Vacuum pun bukan hari-hari. Patutlah badan macam lemah aje. Tidak digunakan dengan optimum rupanya. Hehehe.....
I think I have to do more work. Macam masa muda-muda dulu. Wah bunyinya macam dah tua sangat. Hahaha.... But true la. Dulu I cuci tuala, cadar and what not pakai tangan aje. Nowadays tudung yang nipis tu pun I guna washing machine. Dulu I can sweep and mop the floor and do all other cleaning work like cuci tandas and what not. Nowadays vacuum aje pun dah penat. Camnolah nak fit balik macam dulu eh.
Oh well at least doing all this makes a happy. Penghilang stress. Wah macam stress sangat but sort of la. Yang tu tak sesuai cerita kat sini. Hehehe.....
