Dinner

Today pagi2 lagi aku dah mandi. Selalunya bila dah tengahari baru mandi, but ni sebab beria2 nak gi jusco sale kat wangsa maju, sanggup buat apa saje out of the ordinary.. hehe. Tak sempat nak breakfast pun pagi tadi sebab nak cepat. Aku takut kalau takde parking sebab aku ni malas kalau nak kena jalan jauh2. If aku boleh lipat2 kete masuk dalam poket mcm citer Doraemon, I would have done that! but unfortunately, mana la boleh. How I wish aku ada poket ajaib cam Doraemon tu.

Sampai je jusco, aku pun beli leggings for iman and iffah. Actually plan nak gi jusco pun sebab nak beli leggings je. Tak sampai 1/2 jam dah habis shopping. But dalam hp aku, ada list of barang yg mak and Mas kirim. Peh! banyak giler. Aku shopping kat jusco tu from 9am til 3pm. Yang lebih 5 jam 1/2 tu sebab cari barang for orang lain. Best sebenarnya shopping utk orang sebab aku can still experience euphoria of shopping, but without creating a hole in my pocket.. hehe. Zana cakap aku giler.. hehe.. tak lagi. Kalau aku jadi mcm ina, then yes, aku memang giler sebab ina memang kaki shopping. hahahha.. ina, engkau jgn marah aku, jgn lupa baca doa shopping ye :P

Balik from jusco, aku memang flat. Ye la, jalan sikit punya lama, rasa bengkak kaki aku ni sebab berdiri lama sangat. Since today dah takde tenaga, maka aku masak dinner pun simple je. Fish and chips version tah pah hapa. Suka hati aku je buat recipe sendiri.. hahahahha

Fish & Chips version tah pah hapa

My very own mujo

Mujo ada ina, kalau dok, dok tau starang sape penulih asal article mujo tu. hehehe.. yea I know, my bahasa terengganu sucks. But err.. at least boleh ler jugak buat ayat.

Today pagi2 lagi dah aim nak pegi Reject Shop Warehouse Sale kat Shah Alam. Plannya nak gi kul 9am, tapi sebab bangun pun dah lambat, by the time sampai sana dah pukul 11.15pm. Mujo Dilla UMCCEd called, bagi direction, kalau dok, memang sesat dok starrang. hehe.. err.. does my ayat make sense? The sale ends this saturday, hubby wants to go again esok sebab seluar dockers yang dia beli for RM39.90 tu very comfortable, so esok nak cari lagi 2-3 helai.

Mula2 plannya nak spend about RM100, tapi ishk! tau2 je la, bila dah sampai sana, rambang mata, last2 spend more than RM300 but we all dapat 27 items. It's a good bargain rite? err.. ke tak? The price for barang2 kat situ starts from RM1. Aku nak beli beberapa helai carpet toilet lagi. Murah giler tu, RM3 sehelai.

Tomorrow aku kena bangun awal sikit sebab nak gi Jusco Wangsa Maju sale before going to the Reject Shop Warehouse sale. Peh! byk giler sale nak pegi. Mak aku and adik aku, Mas, kirim barang, so kena la gi cari. Mujo ada anak mithali macam aku ni.. hehehe..

Mujo

I copied this from Sis Eleeza's note in FB

Interesting read to share with all.. for those who have read this.. just skip 'em k.. Enjoy!

I received this article via email a while back. Don’t know the original writer. But love the concept and how the concept is illustrated. Really useful when our world is upside down and when we feel everything is just not A-OK. And we should be grateful that things are not much worse than they are.

MUJO
Saturday, October 23, 2004

Mujo or mujur in Standard Bahasa means "fortunate" or "lucky". In Terengganu it means more than that. Mujo is an attitude, a testament to the optimism of the Terengganu folks.

I believe that Terengganunese are optimistic. I haven't heard much of any suicides there yet. No news whatsoever of people jumping down from coconut trees or drinking expired budu (preserved anchovy thick sauce) in order to expire themselves. You must remember that Terengganu people lived with old creaking ferries, morning papers that came in the night and other things people in the West Coast take for granted. In spite of doing without 4D shops, discos, malls or Hot Spot-enabled coffee houses, they are surviving well without any mental hospital in sight (we do have an unfortunately high number of drug addicts tho, but that is a topic for another day).

All because they have mujo.

Like I mentioned previously, mujo encapsulate a philosophy in itself. It means one should thank God that it is not worse. Time for an illustration.

(Cut to a scene of 3 village ladies in their kemban washing clothes by the village well)

Mok Long Selamoh: Guane gok adik mung Mek?
(How is your brother Mek?)

Mok Teh Som : Bakpe pulok adik diye?
(What happened to her brother?)

Mok Long Selamoh: Laaa! Mung dok tau ke Song?
(You don't know Som?)

Mok Teh Som : Dok tau setarang kite.
(I don't know anything)

Mok Long Selamoh: Adik Mek kene langgor lori kemareng.
(Mek's brother was knocked down by a lorry yesterday)

Mek Beso : Bukang lori Mok Long, beng ikang!
(It wasn't a lorry Mok Long, it was a fish van)

Mok Long Selamoh: Mujo gok bukang lori!
(Lucky it wasn't a lorry)

Mok Teh Som : Doh ganne? Terok ke?
(Then? Was he seriously injured?)

Mek Beso : Kaki patoh sebeloh......
(One leg was broken)

Mok Teh Som : Mujo gok dok patoh duwe duwe
(Lucky both legs weren't broken)

Mok Long Selamoh : Tu pong mujo dreba beng dang brek.
(It was lucky that the van driver braked in time)

Mek Beso : Mujo gok beng tu dok laju..
(Lucky the van wasn't going fast..)

(Fade to black.)

If both legs were broken, the response would be "Mujo gok dok pecoh pale" (Lucky the head wasn't broken).

If the head WAS broken, the response would be "Mujo gok dok mati" (Lucky he didn't die).

If the worst happened and the brother died, the mujo would still surface. "Mujo lah bukang adik kite" (Lucky it wasn't my brother).

You get the drift.....

Mujo. A nice word. Adopt it. Embrace it. It will preserve your sanity.

"GOD, grant me the courage to change the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can not, and the wisdom to know the difference"
"And cover not Truth with falsehood, nor conceal the Truth when ye know (what it is)." (2:42)

Hari Malas sedunia

MALAS... Argh! tension!! sebab perasaan malas telah melanda. Rasa mcm nak je duduk kat dalam bilik, with 1 romance book (yes, aku still baca romance. Baru je dapat new supply of books from Anne weekend baru ni) pastu pasang aircond, then terperuk berjam2 dalam bilik. Malas nak buat apa2, malas nak mandi, malas nak masak, malas nak keluar.. termasuk la malas nak berblogging. Today pun masak mee rebus sayur je for the kids.

Grey Hair - A sign of Maturity?

Last nite, Iman wanted to comb my hair. So I let her be. Pastu tiba2 dia cakap "Mama! kakak jumpa uban!". I was like .... WHAT??? "Betul Mama, tunggu, kakak cabut". I patiently waited while she tugged and plucked the uban off my head. True enuff, it was grey in colour. I thought maybe it's just rambut ubat yang sesat. But NO! Iman managed to find 3 more strands of grey hair. huwaaa.... Am I that old? So depressing!!

Bila cakap rambut uban ni, teringat abah aku. Few years back, masa wedding adik aku no. 6, my cousin, Abang Din, dok sibuk nak pakai inai. Abang Din tak la tua sangat, so dia ada few strands of grey hair kat janggut and kepala dia. My dad pulak, tengok Abang Din nak letak inai kat his janggut and rambut, tiba2 nak jugak buat kat his own janggut and rambut. So terpaksa la aku menampal janggut and rambut my dad dengan inai.

Guess what? The next day, bila my dad bangun, dia terus mandi and tak tengok cermin pun apa dah jadi dengan rambut dia. Terus dia turun dapur, and his hair! OMG!!! It was orange in colour. Dah tu, rambut my dad semua uban, so bila inaikan, jadi bright orange. Err.. for orang tua umur 60 tahun (masa tu la) sangat tidak sesuai. Macam rock star tua yg tak sedar diri.. hehe.. And my dad refused to botakkan kepala dia. So hari kenduri kawin tu, my dad was the only orang tua kat Jabi, or maybe Besut or maybe even Terengganu dengan rambut colour orange. :)

Gathering SSP-ians

The much awaited gathering finally arrived. Aku letih teramat sgt selepas sessi bergossip, mengayam ketupat, ketawa bagai nak rak. Rumah aku yang kecik mcm kena tiup taufan bila ina gelak. hehe.. ina, engkau jangan la marah aku pulak. Anne arrived early dengan askar2nye. Since anak2 Anne baru je habis swimming, semua kelaparan. Pulak tu, mee kari aku tak siap lagi. So terpaksa la bagi makan nasik minyak hujan panas yang aku masak last nite for the match making session kat rumah aku.

Lepas tu, Ina pulak sampai. Anak ina yang kecik, hadi, muntah dalam kete, maka ibunya yg mithali itu, terpaksa la mandikan dulu. Ina bought 200 cucuk sate. Aku was like.. WHAT!!!.. sapa nak habiskan? sampai sekarang ada lagi sate dalam peti tu setelah semua bawak balik ke rumah. Those yang datang termasukla Ella, Nora, As, Normi, Lily and Zana. It was a potluck gathering. As buat air laici, Nora buat tiramisu, Zana bawak kuih yang sangat sedap, Ella bawak buah... err.. buah apa Ella? hehe.. pastu Normi bawak karipap, Anne bawak fruits and Ina bawak sate. Peh! byk giler makanan kat rumah aku.

Err.. aku lupa nak ambik gambar. Aku akan upload setelah dapat softcopy from Anne or Ina. Below is Puding Buih. Salah satu dessert traditional orang Terengganu.

Another blog to read

K.Min's brother, Rodd, happens to write a blog too. He's a father to three beautiful daughters. Happy reading! Ops! lupa link .. ni dia linknya http://fatherof3girls.blogspot.com/

Today busy giler. Pagi2 lagi aku dah berjalan, pegi Jusco AU2 pastu gi Carrefour. Setelah more than 1 week berkhemah kat spital, byk barang dapur yang takde. Err.. actually that's not true.. hehe.. Tapi seperti biasa la, aku mencari alasan nak keluar jalan2. Esok Hubby wants to ajak his friends makan kat rumah. Menu is Nasik Minyak Warna Warni. Berpinar jugak ler mata aku nak beli barang2. Letih nak berangkut plastik bag tu semua. I love shopping, but I hate carrying shopping bags. Since hubby takde, aku kena la buat sendiri.

Tengah hari tadi lunch makan tomyam. Aku memang tak pro buat tomyam, so malas nak ambik gambar. Eh! aci ke mcm tu? hehe.. and aku buat pegedil for iffah. Pastu rasa mcm boring je. Ye la, sejak jadi Home Minister sepenuh masa ni, kena la cari activiti2 yg memberansangkan selain dari blogging dan facebooking (I'm hooked on Mafia War.. huwaaaa). So aku ajak the kids buat banana cake. Ni la hasilnya.

Baru keluar oven

Gebu sebab aku guna meringue :)

Home sweet home

I'm home, finally. After 9 days at the hospital, ate hospital food, home cooked maggi tasted heaven. Hehe... beria2 je nak masak macam2 today, tapi sebab tunggu bil iman punya la lama, terus takde mood. The damage done to the insurance company after 9 days at the hospital was close to RM13,000.00. Nangis la insurance company yg sanggup insure aku anak beranak tu. muahahahaha... Do i sound evil enough? hehe

Meje, I'm pretty sure lepas ni makin bertambah client engkau. Ye la, after 9 years ambik hospitalisation insurance ni, total claim has reached almost RM200k. Kalau la 90% of their clients claim mcm aku, mau bankrupt insurance company tu.

Mama, the best chef

Iman : Mama, kakak taknak makan food ni (food hospital)
Mama : kenapa?
Iman : tak sedap la mama
Mama : ala.. makan je la, esok dah boleh makan food kat rumah.
Iman : kakak suka makan mama masak. mama is the best chef in the whole world. Mama masak semua sedap

Waaaa... pandainya anak aku ambik hati aku. The truth is I really miss cooking. I miss cooking for my family. Immediately aku terus called my maid, and suruh dia datang hospital. Aku pesan kat makcik ton, tolong masakkan nasik, goreng ayam and buat raspberry jelly for the kids. Err.. no, makcikton tak reti buat raspberry jelly from scratch, aku suruh dia guna instant punya. Walaupun tak sama aku masak dgn makcik ton masak, at least it's not hospital food. Actually, while I'm typing this, iffah dok nyanyi lagu ni

"Air terjun, air kelapa, air sirap, air bateri, air mata, air hujan, air jampi, sedap sekali"

Adoi! mana la dia belajar.

Below is the photo that Wati posted on my FB wall. Thank you Wati. Gambar ni was taken masa we all visit rumah Wati & Kevin during raya 2006. Iffah still has some baby fat on her face. Yang kat belakang tu, control ayu, aku ler tu.. hehehe

Knock! Knock!

Iffah : Knock! Knock!
Iman : Who's there?
Iffah : Tom Sawyer
Iman : Tom Sawyer Who?
Iffah : Tom saw yer answer

Mama : ...........

Iffah : Knock! Knock!
Iman : Who's there?
Iffah : Gobi
Iman : Gobi who?
Iffah : Go be fore it's too late

Mama : ....................................................

I went to Crescent books warehouse sale today with Hubby. After few days of enduring their constant bickering, I had enough! Since they love reading, we decided to brave the afternoon traffic, and went to Bandar Utama. Alhamdulillah, aku made the right decision. It was heaven! Murah giler buku2 kat sana. Hardcover children's books are priced from RM2 onwards. Tadi aku spent quite a lot jugak on books. But at least, I had a peaceful day today. Phew!

Bargains galore for bookworms

By FAZLEENA AZIZ

BOOK lovers have something to look forward to at the Crescent’s Warehouse Sale with discounts of up to 80% on various books.

The sale covers a range of genres including children’s books, recipes, reference materials, religious books, motivational topics, the classics, general fiction and dictionaries.

The sale is being organised by the Crescent News KL Sdn Bhd, which is clearing its stocks.

Good selection: There are plenty of dictionaries available for visitors to choose from.

Crescent News general manager Mohammad Ibrahim Ahmad Jalaludin said the books were being sold from as low as RM1 to as high as RM100.

He said they were offering all kinds of book for students and the public.

“The response has been good and we are happy with the turnout at the sale,” he said.

Teacher R. Jayanthi, who is in her late 30s, found out about the sale through a friend.

She said with the current economic situation, the sale was a good place to for people to buy at a lower price.

Plenty of choice: Jayanthi showing some of the books she grabbed at the sale.

“I happened to find Enid Blyton books, so I thought I would get them for my students and introduce them to the world of books.

“The classics are also very cheap. I find that not many people are into the classics but here they can find out what the classics are really about,” she said.

For home-schooled student Joanna Lee, 11, the sale offered her many books to choose from. She found out about the sale through the newspapers.

“I am looking for easy-reading books. I like the Nancy Drew series, Enid Blyton books, the Babysitter’s Club series as well as the Hardy Boys.

“The prices are very reasonable and all the books are quite new,” she said.

The sale will be held until May 24 at the MBPJ Multipurpose Hall, Jalan BU 3/1, Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. It will be open from 10 am to 9pm.

More days @ the hospital

I want to go home but sadly the kids paediatrician said maybe the kids need to spend another 1-2 days in the hospital. Huwaaa.. aku dah bosan tahap gaban ni. Takleh tahan dengan Iman and Iffah dok bergaduh almost 24 hours a day. Gambar kat bawah ni masa semua tengah demam including Hubby, yang berbungkus macam pocong tu. Iffah berbungkus dengan selimut biru and iman with the nebulizer machine kat tepi. Ni semua tido lepas makan ubat. Saat yang paling tenang bagi aku.

Dah la demam, sempat lagi turun kedai mamak hisap rokok. Bengang betul aku. Pastu bila sakit, aku jugak yang susah.

The Sick Wagon

First, it was Iman.



Then, yesterday, Iffah joined Iman here.



Abah follow suit few hours later.



And Mama is so tired.. been staying at the hospital for more than 5 days dah. I need to go shopping therapy. Hopefully by monday semua dah boleh keluar hospital. Mama nak pegi Sogo sale and Jusco One Utama Member's Day Sale.

Rasa tak sabar nak gi sale.. hehe.. I'm not a shopoholic, but this time, I just need a break. As of tomorrow, aku dah boleh bergelar home minister sepenuh masa. Yippy! I'm so happy. Boleh duduk rumah and berfacebook 24 hours a day. Hahaha.. Kalau Hubby tau niat aku ni, mau mengamuk dia.

Hospital - Episode 1

Tido je..


Too tired..



During physio today

An early morning phone call

An early morning phone call jolted me out of my deep slumber. Mula2 macam malas nak angkat, pastu pikir, must be urgent. True enough, it was urgent. Iffah was having high fever. The call was from Mok (emak for orang terengganu). Iffah tido rumah nenek last nite coz Hubby slept over at the hospital with me and Iman. Iffah has been having fever on and off for the past 2 weeks, pastu tiba2 pagi tadi demam panas pulak. Aduh! dugaan sungguh.

Hubby pun demam panas jugak. Tu yang aku suruh dia tido spital dengan aku. Most probably he'll get himself warded coz he's having difficulty breathing. He's asthmatic too, like Iman. But his problem is that, eventho he's asthmatic, he happens to be a chain smoker too. *sigh*... susah tu nak suruh dia berenti rokok.

This is how I feel right now, tired, melancholy, emotionally drained etc etc... A pretty hectic week for me, with kids not well, Hubby joining the wagon... Am I complaining too much? hehe. Cant wait for the much awaited 5I gathering next week.

Bored...

Iman is asleep, I'm bored like hell. Apa aku nak buat sorang2 ni. Buku cite dah habis baca, surat khabar pun dah habis telek, erm.. should I sleep too? Rasa mcm nak gi beli magazine je, tapi kesian pulak kalau aku tinggalkan iman sorang2 dalam bilik ni. I know, I can always pesan kat the nurse on duty, to stay with iman for a while, tapi kesian kat dia. Nanti kalau dia bangun tido, and mama is not around, ada yang jadi bintang air mata pulak. As of today, Iman dah a bit better. At least dia cuma demam panas sekali je today. I guess the antibiotic yang doctor bagi tu is taking into effect. Alhamdulillah..

After the demise of Dr. Haliza, I've decided not to got to Ampang Puteri for treatment anymore. Bagi aku tak worth the time, dah la nursing care kat sana sucks to the core. Fezzy suggested Dr Adrian Goh of Gleneagles before, but aku pulak tak suka gi Gleneagles, mcm susah giler access the hospital, jalan Ampang tu busy sangat. So in the end, aku bawak iman to Tawakkal, jumpa Dr. Zarin. Before she was under Dr Kanchana's care but this time iman wanted Dr. Zarin. Tak kesah la, yang penting nursing care kat Tawakkal ni bagus, unlike Ampang Puteri.

Ni Mutton Meatball yang aku buat for the kids before Iman masuk spital.

Mutton Meatball

Bahan2
1/2 kg minced mutton
1/2 cup of bread crumbs
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp salt
2 large onion, diced
1 bunch of coriander - potong halus2
2 tbs black pepper

Cara2
1. dalam mangkuk, masukkan semua bahan, pastu gaul, and bulat2 seperti bebola.
2. then masukkan about 1/2 cup of olive oil dalam small pan, and goreng sampai masak.
3. hidang dan sedia dimakan :D

Iman down with fever

I'm exhausted... Iman hasnt been feeling very well since the journey down south with Baba and Nenek. Last nite she was shivering due to extremely high fever, above 40 degree. We had to bring the fever down by sponging her body. Pagi tadi I told Hubby that, we need to bring Iman to hospital because I dont think I'll be able to manage her fever. True enough, lepas kena admit, dah 3 kali kena masuk voltaren coz her fever has decided to revisit her many times today. Since afternoon, dah 3 kali her fever peaked above 40 degree.

Last was masa mak aku datang visit. Iman was shivering badly , her body turned blue because of the coldness that she was experiencing. But her body was scorching hot. I was so scared. How to manage that? Any advise? The nurses here asked me to cover her with thick blankets, then put hot water bottle underneath the blankets and let her feel warm 1st before removing the blankets and sponge her body. It took more than 1/2 hour of constantly rubbing her hands and legs for the shiver to go away.

I badly need some sleep..

MC

Both iman and iffah are at home today. Dua2 dapat MC from yesterday til tomorrow. The weather is making my kids sick. It's so hot, rasa mcm nak mendidih kepala. Iffah has been on and off feverish since last week. Iman pulak batuk. yang geramnnya, Hubby bawak the kids to swimming pool petang semlm. I told him NOT to bring the kids to pool sebab cuaca panas sangat. But NO, he has to bring the kids jugak. Last sekali, dua2 makin sakit. Grr.. betul2 buat aku mendidih.

Oleh kerana both of them tak sihat, maka aku pun kena la masak sup ayam. I wanted to cook pasta, Iman has been wanting to makan pasta since last week. Actually, dah lama jugak tak masak pasta. Kalau tak, every week mesti at least once makan pasta. So tadi aku dah keluarkan minced mutton from the fridge, but erm.. sampai sekarang tak buat lagi. Kesian anak mama, dok menunggu.

Iffah

Iman

Tired

Hari ni tersangat la letihnya. Tadi temankan mak pegi KLCC, katanya nak gi shopping kat Parkson, tapi erm.. too expensive. Malas nak menghabiskan duit. Last2 pegi Jusco AU2. Mak nak beli blender sebab this coming June, kenduri adik aku Izani.

Ingat tadi nak ponteng keje sebab letih sangat. Pastu bila pikir pasal students aku, kesian pulak. Sapa nak ganti kelas aku nanti. Nak taknak, terpaksa la jugak pegi kelas. Aku will quit working by end of this month, nak jadi fulltime mother, tutor, driver, cook, maid etc, but erm.. boleh ke aku control temper aku ni? Hubby dah pesan awal, bila dah berenti keje, aku kena la kurangkan activity luar aku, ie no more teh tarik session with friends til late at nite.. huwaaa... I'm gonna miss that!

Tadi pun balik rumah almost 11pm. Kelas habis pukul 9pm, by 9.15pm dah sampai Melawati, but then cousin aku, Wan, pulak telepon ajak temankan makan. Dengan suka hatinya aku keluar, since today aku tak drive, so Hubby kena ambik aku lepas habis kelas tadi. Then dia dropped aku kat Melawati for my teh tarik session. Bila sampai rumah, tengok2, iman and iffah tak tido lagi. Angin betul aku. SEE.. it's hard fo me to control my temper.. *sigh*. Anyway, lepas dah tarik nafas dalam2 selama beberapa kali, my anger seems to dissipate, alhamdulillah.

More Mihas

Chocolate House on The Prairie



Saffron selling at RM20 for 500gm!! Murah giler! But on weekend, dah tak jual. ke dia org silap letak harga? lucky me, i bought it on thursday.



Baklava dan yang sewaktu dengannya






Besar giler dates ni. Rasanya seminggu makan pun tak habis.

MIHAS

Today, kali ke 3 aku gi mihas this week. hehe.. mesti orang kata aku mabuk. Mula2 aku pegi on thursday, adik aku yang bongsu temankan. Since Hubby nak gi ofis masa tu, aku suruh dia tolong dropkan kita org kat bangunan MARTRADE. Cuma on thursday tu a bit leceh sebab kena register dulu. Ishk! menyusahkan je. But tak ramai orang pun masa tu.

Then semalam aku pegi lagi sebab mak aku suruh tolong belikan kurma. Again, this time, Hubby jadi driver and Muscle Man. hehe.. So aku takyah ler bawak barang. Kalau tak, letih jugak aku nak kelek buah kurma tu. Dah la aku beli 10 boxes. Eventhough tak berat sangat, tapi nak maneuver dengan orang yg ramai, budak2 yang bersesak, sakit jiwa jugak la aku. To me, patut MIHAS prohibit children from entering. Aku tak paham la dengan parents yang nak bawak anak to places mcm tu. Dah la orang ramai, bersesak2, dengan panas, orang demam ke batuk ke, anak2 jugak yang sakit. Kalau nak bawak, should ada age limit, for example, below 6, takleh masuk.

Tadi aku gi MIHAS dengan adik bongsu aku jugak. Aku suruh dia mintak masuk keje lambat, so that boleh temankan aku. Dia keje kat Sushi King One Utama. Patut masuk keje kul 2pm, but sebab nak kena teman aku, maka masuk pukul 3pm. And, aku borong another 20 boxes of kurma, mak aku nak buat hantaran kawin for kenduri adik aku, Izani. Today manusia tak seramai semlm, lega aku. Cuma aku rimas dengan budak2 berlari2, mak bapak yang hilang anak, ada yang biarkan anak2 main sesuka hati, jadi mcm funfair. grrr.. stress.

So far, since MIHAS started 6 years ago, aku tak pernah lagi miss. Aku suka tengok product2 baru in the market, beside cari new product yang boleh diketengahkan and mencari idea untuk product baru. Dulu, masa mula2 gi MIHAS, teman setia aku, Ella. Now Ella dah busy, so kena la pegi sendiri.

Kat depan entrance MARTRADE tadi, ada kete accident. Aku takde la kepochi sangat, but err.. entah pesal, teringin nak ambik gambar.. hehe. Later aku upload gambar kete yang remuk tu, tak pasal2 jam nak masuk MARTRADE. To those yang nak pegi MIHAS next year, pegi on last day sebab masa tu ramai exhibitors yang dah nak packing, so dia orang jual their product murah. Pastu kalau nak parking, just park near mahkamah, sebab MIHAS ada sediakan shuttle.




kesian kete ni..

Oreo Cheesecake

Aku was excited bila tengok Zuera's oreo cheesecake. Actually, I'm not a fan of cheesecake, jarang sangat2 aku buat, memang tak ingin nak buat pun. Kalau nak sangat makan, aku akan gi Secret
Recipe. Tapi sekarang Secret Recipe's cakes dah tak sedap. Dah ler tak sedap, mahal lak tu.

Thank you Zuera sebab share the recipe dengan aku. My kids takde la suka sangat the taste but aku suka! hehe.. Hubby tak makan sebab he's on diet. Err.. actually aku pun on diet, but rasa jugak sikit. Tomorrow nak buat lagi sebijik for Mother's Day celebration kat rumah my mum on Sunday.

No Bake Oreo Cheesecake

Ingredients:

The Bottom (Crust):
240 gram oreo biscuit (separate the cream and biscuit; only used the biscuit; keep the cream for filling)
100 gram unsalted butter
The Top (Filling):
250 gram Cream cheese (soften)
100 gram castor sugar
2 oreo biscuits (separate the cream and the biscuit; crust the biscuit)
250 gram whipped cream
1 1/2 tbsp gelatin
80 ml full cream milk

Method:

1. Making Crust : Crust the oreo biscuit and mix in butter.
2. Press into a round spring form pan (make sure press hard enough so that the crust won’t break like mine). It's best to use a pan that can open side coz it's abit difficult to take the cake out. Chill in the fridge until firm.
3. Making Filling : beat cream cheese & castor sugar until smooth.
4. Add in the whipped cream, oreo cream which has been separated from the biscuit and the 2 crust oreo biscuit and mix well.
5. Heat the full cream milk and gelatin in a pot. Stir constantly until boil.
6. Pour the milk into the cream mixture & mix well.

7. Chill for at least 4 hours.

Sweetcorn Cameron

Petang tadi aku buat bubur jagung guna sweetcorn yang mak aku belikan from Cameron Highland. Jagung yg mak belikan tu gemuk2, gebu je. Bila makan, rasa lemak manis. Aku makan mentah je, sebab sedap!

Talk about bubur jagung, before this, bila buat bubur jagung aku beli corn kernel dalam tin and cream corn dalam tin, pastu campur and letak santan. Tak tau pulak that kalau guna jagung fresh rasa lagi sedap. Dulu aku pernah beli dried corn kernel kat carrefour. Ya Allah! punya la lama aku rebus, 1/2 hari pun tak empuk. Buang gas je. Baru la aku tau orang tak guna dried corn kernel tu utk buat bubur. My mistake.. hehe

Tadi a friend came over to my house, bercerita pasal her marital problem. Adus! kesiannya aku dengar. Dah la masa kawin dulu dia ingatkan dia bini no. 2, last2 baru tau, dia tu bini no. 4. Pastu si lakinya pulak, jenis tak reti2 nak balik rumah. Patutnye kalau dah berpoligami tu, pandai2 la bahagikan masa, but NO, tak reti jugak. Aku rasa lelaki kat Msia ni ramai yang berpoligami sebab nafsu, sebab tu tak tau hukum. Aku bengang betul lelaki macam ni. Kawan aku tu, dah 2 bulan laki dia tak balik rumah, makanan kat rumah pun dah habis. Kesian sungguh!

Ikea Again

Aku ni mcm takde tempat lain nak lepak, balik2 Ikea. Yes, tonite, aku yet again, lepak kat cafe ikea tu. Free flow of coffee really glued me that place. Aku promised ina to hantar karipap ikan yang aku dah buatkan untuk dia. I dont do delivery service, but in this case, aku terpaksa sebab kesian pulak kat ina nak travel to melawati. Since I'm so free tonite, aku make a date with Sally too. As usual, gossiping tak sedar diri punya.. hehe

On the way to Ikea tadi, aku nampak kete masuk drain betul2 depan ISKL Elementary. Baru je keluar rumah tak sampai 5 minit. Kesian pulak aku tengok kete Hyundai tu. Aku cam pelik jugak, mcm mana boleh masuk drain. Maybe perempuan tu tengah pening kot, or maybe tak pakai glasses, so tak perasan tepi jalan tu ada drain. Separuh muka kete tu dalam longkang besar tu. Since aku nak cepat, tak sempat aku nak turun and ambik gambar.

Tengah hari tadi aku temankan mak pegi shopping kat Sogo. Today last day sale, mcm2 la dia borong. Dah la naik kereta kelisa adik aku, Mas. Penuh barang dalam kereta, kat seat depan sendat dengan bantal and selimut. Aku memang takleh nampak side mirror sebelah kiri. Bila nak masuk lane kiri, kena mintak tolong Mas tengokkan. Stress aku gi shopping dengan Mas and my mum. Tu pun aku ajak balik cepat sebab aku ada kelas. Mas siap boleh cakap "Ala.. dah nak balik ke? ". Grr...

Today tak masak apa2, sebab aku still not in the mood to cook. I'll start cooking tomorrow, hopefully mood masak aku akan datang.

Dinner Last Nite

Since semlm aku kena migraine teruk, so memang takde mood nak masak. Iman loves maggi goreng. Aku memang tak suka kalau budak2 ni makan maggi, but once in a blue moon, I'd allow them to makan maggi. Their favourite is maggi goreng yang mama masak.

Maggi Goreng

2 bungkus maggi kari/indomee mee goreng asli

2 biji telurkobis, sawi

seafood/meat, suka hati la, aku malas nak letak :)

3 ulas bwg putih - crushed

1.mula2 panas air, bila air dah menggelegak, then masukkan maggi. 2 minutes je lepas tu terus toskan maggi tu.

2. masukkan about 4 tbs minyak dalam kuali, goreng garlic til 1/2 kuning, then masukkan telur, goreng til garing, pastu baru masukkan seafood/daging/ayam.

3. tuang perencah dalam mangkuk, pastu add about 5 tbs water, kacau. then tuang semua dalam kuali. pastu masukkan maggi and sayur.

4. boleh ler hidangkan. sedap..

Pancake

Few days ago, aku buat this pancake. Selalu jugak kalau ada family gathering, adik ipar aku, Mina (a korean), akan buat this pancake. I love it! Budak2 pun suka. It's called Yachaejon in korean.


Tengahari tadi As ajak aku pegi bayan kat bukit antarabangsa. Mula2 beria2 confirm dengan As, pastu bila dah keluar rumah, terus kena migraine teruk. Rasa mcm nak muntah, loya, sakit kepala (NO, I'm not pregnant). Pastu terpaksa cancel dengan As. Sorry ye As. Aku hope engkau tak putus asa dengan aku, ajak la aku lagi lain kali.


Tadi masa keluar, first stop aku was Great Eastern Mall. Aku dah janji dengan Ani of D'Rias nak hantar keropok dah quite awhile, but being me, as usual, tak jadi. So tadi, aku dah cakap kat Hubby awal2 that nak taknak, kena jugak hantar kat Ani. Kesian her MIL, dah lama teringin nak makan keropok terengganu.



Next stop lepas Great Eastern Mall was Jusco Wangsa Maju. Hubby wanted to buy the kids new swimming suit. Aku taknak beli sebab takde sale. I dont see a point of spending more than I should. But as usual, Hubby aku tu, kalau dah made up his mind about something, susah nak bwk berbincang. So dalam keadaan sakit kepala, terpaksa la aku teman jugak. It took us ages to pilih swimming suit yg sesuai. Lagila aku bengang. Hubby insisted me to let the kids decide. I told him, they are only 9 & 8 respectively, how can they decide! Bengang betul. Last2 aku cakap kat the kids, beli or else, takyah gi swimming. In the end, they agreed to Mama's choice. Kan senang mcm tu kalau awal2 lagi dah ikut cakap Mama.

Finally home..

Berapa hari dah tak update blog. I was away from thursday, ni baru sampai rumah. We promised the kids nak balik Terengganu, but unfortunately, tak jadi. So last minute, we made the decision to go Cameron Highland. I was kindda regret it at first masa kat atas highway on the way to Cameron sebab tersgt la banyak nye kereta. Tapi bila dah sampai, mcm best pulak. The kids love it!!

Aku lupa la pulak nak ambik gambar. So no pictures for this trip. Maybe next time. Aku dah promised the kids that we're going again 2 weeks from now. Since it's a long weekend, Cameron bersesak2 dengan orang. Punya la teruk jam. In the end, we didnt go anywhere, just stayed at my dad's place, helping him out at his kedai makan. My dad should be arrested for using child labour, sapa lagi kalau bukan Iman and Iffah.. hahahahahha.. marah bapak aku nanti. Iman and Iffah were happy helping their baba, siap dapat RM20 sorang lagi. Cheap labour! hehe
