A Near Disaster on New Year

Bila tengok last entry post, maknanya dah almost seminggu aku tak berblogging. Bukannya takde cerita yang nak diceritakan, tapi kesuntukan masa untuk duduk lama depan laptop ni. Dah la laptop ni sekarang banyak rongak. Kalau dulu, 2 gigi je yg patah, sekarang dah bertambah jadi 3 sebab keyboard laptop ni dicungkil oleh Shariff while I was taking shower. Grrr... Rasa nak cubit2 je tangan dia yang montel tu. I was so angry, but tak guna marah budak umur 2 tahun. Dia pulak ada this one habis of cungkil keyboard and kopek cat kat dinding. Habis ropong keyboard aku and dinding rumah. Aku kena mintak ganti rugi from his mom. Hahahah.. just kidding.

Anyway, on New Year's eve, for the first time, kita orang tak keluar cari tempat lepak utk tengok the fireworks display. Selalunya we'll find good spot to park the car and tgk fireworks display kat KLCC. Dunno why, this year, hubby malas pulak. Instead of keluar rumah, kita orang lepak kat rumah makan ice cream Baskin Robbins which was on 33% discount. Jenuh aku beratur kat BR tu, punya la ramai manusia. Tak penah2 queue number sampai 500, that day was the first time. Kalau sorang spend RM50, maknanya collection dia org for that day was RM25k. Pergh! banyak giler!

During the last weekend before sekolah buka, Iman and Iffah decided to sleep kat rumah Baba and Nenek. I was left alone with hubby coz Makcik Ton pun duduk rumah Mok. On New Year, aku keluar lunch with hubby. Dah sampai kedai makan, suddenly aku teringat that aku reheat singgang daging and lupa nak tutup api. Alhamdulillah aku teringat singgang yang still boiling kat atas dapur tu. By the time sampai rumah, air dalam periuk dah almost kering. Aku bersyukur sangat2 that I remembered the singgang. Hubby membebel tak hingat punya. Yeah! I know... It's my fault. But bukannya aku sengaja tinggal api tak tutup. I was doing too many things at one time, tu yang langsung tak teringat pasal singgang tu.

On that day too, I cooked Lasagne and Batik Jawa for my sister, Ayu. Beria2 la makcik tu belikan barang untuk masak those two dishes sebab nak bawak balik kat kawan2 kat USM. Kalau ikutkan tahap malas aku, memang malas nak layan. Tapi aku kan kakak mithali, walau mcm mana malas pun, still buat jugak.. hehehe

Batik Jawa Kakak Mithali.. Memandai je aku letak nama.. hehe.. Recipe can be found here.

Chuppy..

Today aku kena habiskan shopping barang2 sekolah for the girls. Semua barang dah beli except their kasut sekolah. I'm still thinking, should aku beli sekarang or tunggu voucher Jusco from Citibank? Tapi risau jugak kalau beli last minute nak kena bersesak dengan orang ramai.

Masa breakfast pagi tadi, we saw a cat, mixed breed, colour hitam, sebijik our lost cat (kena culik in 2008), Chuppy. Bila Iman tengok that cat, she cried coz she thought it was Chuppy. I took one look at that cat, I already know that it's not Chuppy coz Chuppy hidung penyek. Balik rumah my mom, the kids told my sister *the original owner of Chuppy), Mas, that they say Chuppy. Mas yang still dalam pantang, sanggup drive kete cari kucing tu.

Aku pulak kat rumah menunggu dia org, pelik, keluar cari kucing sampai almost 1 hour. Rupa2nya, Mas bawak the cat to vet, untuk treat the fungus and grooming. Grr... officially rumah aku, dah ada kucing. Malas betul nak pelihara kucing. With our constant travelling, it's hard to keep a pet especially kucing. Tak tau la mcm mana nak handle nanti. Currently the cat is at a vet in Melawati. Sunday ni baru boleh ambik sebab nak grooming, neuter and treat for fungus.

Journey Back to KL

We were supposed to leave KT at 11am, tapi macam biasa la, dari pukul 11am, tunda jadi 2pm which I dont really mind coz sempat la aku bershopping di Mydin. Nasib baik la Mydin tu just 3 minutes jalan kaki from my MIL's house, tak payah susah payah aku nak cari parking sebab bandar KT for the past few days, asyik jem je manjang. Nak pegi mana2 pun malas. Aku rasa ramai visitors dari negeri2 lain.

On the way back to KL, it was raining all the way. Tengok ombak besar, macam nak banjir je. Pukul 2pm, mcm baru pukul 8am sebab mendung sepanjang hari. Iman and Iffah naik kereta K.Mei coz kita org convoy. First time sepanjang aku kawin, kita orang balik from KT to KL without the kids kat belakang. Rasa sunyi je. Bila aku ajak dia org naik our car, they refused coz seronok main ipod and ipad dalam kereta K.Mei. Sorry ye anak2 mama, ipod and ipad are way too expensive for us. Mama rela beli KitchenAid.. hehehe

Sampai Kemaman, we wanted to singgah kat Hai Peng, tapi Hai Peng dah tutup. Kita orang sampai Kemaman pukul 6.15pm. Hai Peng closes at 6pm. Patutnya boleh sampai Kemaman lagi awal but jem teruk kat few places on the way tu. Mostly sebab construction. Aku rasa dia org tgh baikpulih jalan for CNY hols nanti. So, instead of Hai Peng, we went to have coffee kat Kemaman Station Kopitiam. Aku suka food kat situ, sedap! I ate their meehoon siam. Memang best! Lupa nak ambik gambar food.

 Punya la lapar, sampai comot hidung kena kaya

Aku suka ambience kat Kemaman Kopitiam ni

Rindu Shariff

Bila tengok Sonia, Rima's daughter, teringat kat Shariff sebab mata dia org sama bulat, and pipi pun sama tembam dan gebu.

The photos below were taken just before aku sent him off balik KL with Baba and Nenek.

Tadi aku called Mok. Nora's (my SIL, wife Abe) father passed away lepas suffering from stroke for more than a week. InsyaAllah esok I'll be going back to Jabi. But before balik ke Jabi, aku kena masak Nasi Minyak kat rumah MIL, maybe dalam 3 kg beras. Abang Zainol (Hubby's BIL) brought back beras Mithas 1121. Beras ni sama dengan beras Para 1122 cuma Mithas 1121 takde dijual di Msia. Bernas bawak masuk few kontena and send it as gifts to VIPs, VVIPs.

Anyway, tadi lepas cakap dengan Mok, I asked for Shariff. Dengar suara aku je, terus dia jerit "Mamaaaaa!". Rindunya aku pada Shariff. Mok cerita, ada one day tu, my sister, Ayu, bawak my car. Dia nampak kete aku parking depan rumah Mok, terus berlari keluar sambil jerit "Mama! Mama". Mcm mana ye nak detach myself from him. I'm so attached to him and the feeling is mutual.

GTM & The Loaf

I'm in KT, but yet aku makan roti from The Loaf tadi for dinner. Haaa... pelikkan? Takan The Loaf bukak outlet kat Kuala Trg pulak. Tak caya kan? hehe.. Actually K.Mei (my SIL) bought kat Bangsar Village. Dia baru je sampai from KL, nak ambik her daughter Zuleika. They are going back to KL on Tuesday. InsyaAllah, we will convoy together. Dah tak sabar nak balik KL ni..

 I love this pastry, sangat sedap! Cuma the kekacang is a bit sweet for my taste. Ada pistachios, walnuts, almonds, cashew nuts.

Now, what does GTM stands for? CS, it's not Guerilla Tanah Melayu ye.. hehehhe... It's actually persatuan yang baru ditubuhkan for sedara mara my hubby on his grandfather's side. GTM = Generasi YAM Tengku Ahmas SZA. Tujuan penubuhan persatuan ini adalah untuk merapatkan silaturrahim antara sedara mara semua.

Today is the first function organised by the persatuan. It was held at dewan sekolah SS 1. The event started at 2.30pm and ended at 6.00pm. By the time balik rumah, I was dead tired coz my day started as early as 11am today. Mula2 aku pegi Kopitiam Uncle Chua kat Tanjung at 11am to meet up with Amy and Rizallimi. Pastu balik rumah, solat, then keluar balik. This time pegi kenduri kawin adik Rizal (another Rizal). I didnt stay long coz we were in a hurry. By the time sampai dewan sekolah SS1, dah pukul 3.00pm.


We were a bit late. Malu jugak bila sampai lambat. Nasib baik ler tetamu2 kehormat belum sampai. Kira ok lagi la tu. Balik from the majlis, I went out with K.Mei, K.Nor (SIL) & Lokman (hubby's nephew). We went to First Station Cafe. Lepas til maghrib, then balik rumah. Sekarang rasa nak tercabut kaki.. letih...

Kuey Teow with Squids

Another short entry coz I'm pressed for time. This photo aku peram quite a while, kalau buat pekasam, dah boleh makan pun. Seriously, lately ni, nak blogging pun takde masa. Maybe sebab I'm too busy with FB.. hehehe.. Oh ya! I'm still in KT. huwaaaaaaaaaa.... I wanna go home.. Iman and Iffah went out to the beach with hubby's sister, so I'm home alone.. lagi rasa sedih :(

Dah la tadi Nora called, cakap she's meeting up with Anne and Normi kat Midvalley for girls' gossiping session. Rasa macam nak je ambik flight to KL now. Because of hubby's extended stay in KT, aku tak boleh attend the much awaited session with the girls and I'll also have to miss going to Mar's wedding in Penang. It's so unfair!! Aku kena claim extra dengan hubby... evil me :P

Breakfast in KT & Sambal Tumis Sotong

This morning, I went out for breakfast again with hubby, MIL and Shariff. Iman and Iffah ikut their Ami (hubby's sister) pegi pantai kutip shells. Letih melayan Shariff makan. Pagi tadi dia makan sebungkus nasi lemak and sebungkus meehoon goreng. Pagi2 lagi, bukak je mata, terus cakap "nak akan acik emak". He loves nasi lemak ikan aye. Tiap2 hari makan nasi lemak ikan aye pun takpe. Lepas breakfast, pegi Pasar Kedai Payang, beli kuih. And Shariff asked for nasik lemak lagi. Of course this time, aku takleh layan kehendak dia. Kang montel sangat, aku jugak yg susah nak dukung.

I'm supposed to have lunch dengan Rina kat McD tepi stesen bas kat bandar. But my mom nak datang ambik Shariff untuk bawak balik to KL in a short while. So tak boleh la keluar lagi. Our lunch date di postponed menjadi tea date. In a way ok jugak coz kalau keluar lunch, aku kena heret Shariff sama. Takleh la nak bergossip sakan.. hehe

Sambal Tumis Sotong

I cooked the sambal tumis ages ago, cuma tak sempat nak upload gambar. Today kat rumah MIL, menu lunch will be Masak Lemak Labu with Udang, Sambal Buih Kuini & Sambal Tumis Ayam.

Skating in KT

Finding a good spot utk skate kat KT is a bit difficult. Usually, kita orang skate kat dalam kawasan Istana Maziah je. But yesterday, hubby decided to bring the girls to Pantai Batu Buruk. The track is so-so je, takde la great macam kat KL. Banyak yang dah pecah2 and lubang2. Masa we all sampai kat situ, punya la ramai orang berjogging. Susah jugak the kids nak maneuver in between the crowds.

 Wearing the safety pads.

 Sempat lagi ber BB

 Orang lain yg skating, orang lain pulak yg dahaga :)

 Muka kepenatan

 Kakak holding Abah's helmet.

 Zuleika pun kepenatan.

Shariff sorang je yang tak letih lagi.

Now I understand how tired it is to have 4 kids!

Giving A Stranger A Lift

Last week, on the day we're leaving to East Coast, hubby and I went to Jusco AU2 to do some last minute shopping. We had to leave a bit late coz K.Mei (hubby's eldest sister) had a meeting and can only send Zuleika (her daughter) after lunch. Zuleika is coming with us to spend the rest of the school holiday at her Nena's (hubby's mom ie my MIL) place.

Lepas dah habis shopping, we went home. On the nak balik, kat junction tepi Glaxo building kat Keramat tu, an old lady knocked on the window while we were waiting for the traffic light to turned green at the junction entering MRR2 highway. The old lady looks so frail, maybe around 75-80 years old. Hubby scrolled down the window as he was the one seating on the passenger seat. The old lady asked for a lift to Ampang Point. If I were alone, I wouldnt give her a lift. The reason is simple, safety first. But I was with hubby, so we decided go out of our way to send the old lady.

 Melawati is on the opposite way, but hubby cakap, kalau biarkan makcik tu sorang2, takut dia kena rompak ke apa ke, risau jugak. So kita orang pun hantar la dia pegi Ampang Point. Luckily MRR2 highway tak jam masa tu. On the way back to Melawati, hubby pesan banyak kali, never ever give anybody a lift kalau sorang2. Yeah! I know.. I will not anyway. Aku ni jenis penakut. Kalau dalam Melawati, aku berani la jugak. But on the highway, ishk! memang tak berani langsung.

On the way back to Terengganu, hujan tak berenti turun dari Melawati, sampai la Kemaman. Pastu kat Kemaman, kering, tak hujan, then sambung lagi kat Dungun. Letih bila hujan non stop. Luckily Shariff (yes, I brought him back with us) tido most of the journey. Kalau buat perangai pun, kejap je, masa nak tido. Tu pun melalak less than 5 minutes. He's so attached to his Mama (ME), that sanggup tinggal Ibu dia .. hehe..

Sampai kat Penjara Marang, hubby was stopped by a police car. Rupanya, hubby memotong kat double lane. It was raining heavily, mana la nak nampak double lane. Aku dah pening dah, tak pasal2 melayang RM300 bayar saman. The policeman ambik hubby's IC and license, ingatkan nak tulis saman, tiba2 dia lepaskan. The policeman siap pesan suruh bawak elok2. Rupanya dia lepaskan sebab hubby's address dalam his IC. hahahha.. I told hubby, bila Iman and Iffah kena buat IC, I want to use hubby's home address dalam IC dia orang. Next time kena tahan dengan polis, tak kena saman. *wink*

Dendeng Daging Korban

Since raya haji masa tu, Mok korban sekor lembu, maka daging korban yang Makcik Ton simpan, still ada lagi. Lately ni, aku dah kurang makan daging. Most of the time, kita orang makan ikan and sayur je coz hubby kena kurangkan makan daging. Now that dia dah kena makan ubat darah tinggi, aku pun jaga la his diet. Risau jugak.

In a short while, I'll be going back to Terengganu for a holiday plus keje (hubby, not me). Hubby is taking time off from work until next week. So, we're going to spend the weekend bersantai kat kampung. Seronoknya! Tak sabar nak balik. Kita orang dah plan nak pegi skating kat belakang Kg.Cina kat tepi Pasar Kedai Payang now that the park belakang Kg. Cina tu dah siap.

Oleh kerana aku will be away for a week, with the daging korban, aku buatkan adik aku, Mas, yang still dalam pantang tu, Daging Dendeng. The truth is, aku tak sure samada org dalam pantang boleh ke tak makan daging dendeng. Tapi tak kesah la.. Kalau tak, kesian jugak Makcik Ton nak masak.

Daging Dendeng

This recipe, aku dapat from mak angkat my eldest sister, K.Ma. BTW, aku panggil kakak aku, Ma, bukan K.Ma. Nasib baik la aku muda setahun je dari dia, kalau tak, sure orang ingat dia mak aku.. hahahah.. perasan la pulak. :P

The recipe for dendeng can be found here.

Letupan Pelantar Minyak Bekok C

Hope both Risha ( Mohd Rishauddin) and Bro (Mohd Fauzi) cepat sembuh. Both of them are my x-schoolmate from SMSS, Kuala Terengganu.

6 dibaham bebola api

MANGSA LETUPAN...(atas dari kiri) Mohd Hamzah, Alias, Mohd Fauzi dan Zamri manakala (bawah) Mohd Rishauddin dan Mohd Arif dirawat di HSNZ.

KUALA TERENGGANU: “Saya nampak satu bebola api menuju ke arah kami ketika saya dan rakan dalam proses menamatkan syif di pelantar minyak Bekok C.
“Saya dan lima rakan lain terkena bebola itu menyebabkan kami mengalami lecur di beberapa anggota badan termasuk di muka,” kata Alias Abdullah, 52, seorang daripada enam pekerja yang terbabit dalam kebakaran pelantar minyak milik Petronas, kira-kira 200 kilometer dari perairan Terengganu.

Dia yang mengalami lecur kecil di muka menceritakan kejadian itu kepada Menteri Besar Terengganu, Datuk Seri Ahmad Said yang melawat mangsa di Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ), semalam.

Dalam kejadian jam 12.05 tengah malam kelmarin, seramai 108 pekerja berada di pelantar itu, tetapi hanya enam pekerja mengalami kecederaan. Kebakaran dipercayai berpunca daripada paip gas yang bocor.

Menurut Alias, kejadian berlaku terlalu pantas menyebabkan dia bersama rakan tidak dapat berbuat apa-apa apabila melihat bebola itu meluru laju ke arah mereka.

“Kami diberikan rawatan awal di pelantar minyak sebelum diterbangkan dengan helikopter ke Lapangan Terbang Sultan Mahmud dan dibawa ke hospital ini untuk rawatan lanjut.

“Saya bersyukur kerana kecederaan yang dialami tidak begitu parah dan hanya mengalami lecur akibat disambar api pada muka,” katanya.

Selain Alias, turut cedera dalam kejadian itu ialah Mohd Rishauddin Ismail, 37, Mohd Hamzah Abdullah, 32, Mohd Fauzi Ibrahim, 37, Mohd Arif Farimi, 28, dan Zamri Wagiman, 32.

Mohd Hamzah ketika menceritakan kejadian itu kepada Ahmad Said pula berkata, api menyambar mereka pada hujung waktu bertugas di pelantar itu.

“Ketika itu kami sibuk menyiapkan tugasan dan saya tidak tahu bagaimana kebakaran itu boleh berlaku,” katanya.

Sementara itu, Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd dalam kenyataan akhbar berkata, kejadian berlaku di pelantar Bekok C yang berkedudukan 200 kilometer dari pantai Semenanjung Malaysia sejurus selepas tengah malam dan api berjaya dikawal pasukan tindakan kecemasan pelantar terbabit.

“Terdapat 108 pekerja di pelantar itu ketika kejadian dan enam daripadanya mengalami kecederaan dan dibawa ke HSNZ untuk menerima rawatan. Baki 102 pekerja lagi dipindahkan ke pelantar berhampiran,” katanya.

Menurut kenyataan itu, aktiviti di Bekok C dihentikan sementara dan siasatan masih dilakukan bagi mengenal pasti punca kejadian.

Ahmad Said yang ditemui selepas melawat mangsa berkata, beliau bersyukur kerana kemalangan itu tidak mengorbankan nyawa.

“Mujur pelantar tidak meletup akibat kejadian itu kerana bilangan pekerja ketika kejadian ramai,” katanya.

Pasta for Dinner

Adik aku, Ayu, wanted me to cook Lasagne for dinner. So petang semalam, we went to Jusco AU2 to buy the ingredients. Unfortunately, the pasta shelves takde lasagne sheets, dah sold out. Argh! Tension betul. Time orang nak ni la, dia out of stock. I had no choice but to buy macaroni. Guna macaroni to replace the lasagne sheets.

I cooked the bachemel sauce and meat sauce before going out with hubby and kids. We went to skate at a park at Wangsa Maju. Kaki belah kiri aku, is a bit painful, rasanya from our skating session last week kat Lake Garden. Sampai hari ni, still sakit. Semalam masa skate, the kids buat 2 laps, aku buat 1 lap je sebab sakit kaki. Actually, tu alasan je. The real reason was, I was too tired and malas. Macam mana la nak kurus macam ni, kalau malas.

Aku kena lebih bersemangat sikit lepas ni untuk kuruskan badan. Tengok Nisa dah shed more than 20kg, jelesnya!! Nisa, I dunno how you find the strength to go on carb-less diet. Kalau I, sure takleh tahan the temptation. Anyway, back to the pasta. Balik from skating, the pasta dah ready utk dimasukkan dalam oven. Ayu helped to lapiskan the pasta with bechamel sauce and meat sauce. So aku cuma perlu untuk masuk dalam oven je.

Puding Laici Sunquick Oren

I made this on Saturday masa kawan2 hubby datang rumah. Initially, aku just nak buat the conventional puding laici, using susu cair. But the evaporated milk yg aku guna tu was a bit thick, which made the puding laici lost its sourness. I like my puding laici a bit masam, mcm rasa laici tu. So what I did was, I added few tbs of sunquick orange. Suprisingly, puding tu rasa sedap sgt, according to my food critic, Iffah. Satu talam tu, habis kejap je.

Pudung Laici Sunquick Oren

Bahan2

25gm agar2 strips

1 tin laici - blend together with juice laici.

1.5 litre air

1/2 cup gula

1 tin susu cair

4 tbs sunquick orange

cara2

1. Didihkan air, add agar2 strips.

2. Bila agar2 dah hancur, tapis air kemudian, masukkan semula ke dalam periuk.

3. Masukkan gula, kacau sehingga gula larut.

4. Masukkan laici yang telah di blend halus. Bila campuran agar2 dah mendidih, masukkan susu cair dan sunquick oren. Tutup air, masukkan dalam acuan.

Facebook & Apam Butter Gula Hangus

For the past few days, hubby has been nagging me to spring clean my friend's list in facebook. Yesterday, he did it for me. Erm.. takpe la, I dont really mind coz dia cuma removed his friends je from my list. Tu pun friends yang I sendiri tak kenal, just jumpa once or twice. Today I deleted my gaming friends. Bye bye farmville, frontierville, cityville, cafeworld and semua facebook games. Starting from today, I decided to grow up. No more games, just kids and hubby and inline skating.

In a way, I feel sad to bid farewell to the games and gaming friends but I think almost 10 years of gaming is enough for me. Now that hubby dah makin busy, I need to pay more attention to the girls. Soon they will be in their teens and by then, mama and abah will be less important than friends. Hopefully, that will never be the case la.

Yesterday, Sally and Azli came over for lunch. I cooked Laksa Kuoh Meroh and Apam Butter Gula Hangus. The truh is, aku was so tired, malas rasa nak masak, tapi kesian pulak kat Sally and Azli. The kuah laksa, according to hubby, sedap sangat but the laksa, really sucks. I used laksa kering. I didnt know that laksa tu kena rendam satu malam, then baru boleh guna. Aku rebus je for 1 hour, and laksa tu rasa macam laksa plastik, sungguh tak sedap! Nasib baik Sally and Azli still makan sampai habis. Azli siap tapau bawak balik. I was too lazy to take photo of laksa kuoh meroh tu. :)

Nasi Telur for Lunch

I wanted to update my blog yesterday after the makan2 session, but I was too tired. I woke up at 6am, after prayer, I went to Pasar Tani with hubby. Iman and Iffah pun kena bangun pagi. Menu for yesterday was Nasi Telur. Nasi Telur ni, cerewet sikit nak masak sebab the work has to start as early as 3 hours before. Thus, the trip to Pasar Tani early in the morning. Hati lembu yang digunakan kena fresh. Kalau hati tak fresh, bila potong, dia akan hancur and berlendir. Urgh! I really hate hati lembu yang dah lembik and berlendir. The smell, buatkan aku tak lalu makan satu hati.

Alhamdulillah masa aku pegi Pasar Tani semalam, hati still banyak lagi. Aku ingatkan kita org the earliest yang pegi pasar tu, rupanya dah penuh manusia at 6.15am. Lepas beli hati and telur masin, I bought some premix dirt untuk Iman and Iffah berkebun kat belakang rumah. Masa kat tempat beli tanah tu, aku nampak pokok Kemangi and pokok Selasih, tu pun aku rembat. Hajat hati nak jadi petani berjaya macam K.Min... hehe

Sampai je rumah, aku terus potong hati lembu tu. Leceh betul nak potong hati tu sebab kena potong kecik2 about 1/2cm in size. It took me about 1 hour untuk habis potong 1kg hati. Kalau ikutkan aku, memang malas nak buat Nasi Telur, but hubby dah jemput his friends, promosing Nasi Telur as the menu. Grr... sesuka hati je bagi menu sendiri. Lepas dah siap potong hati, aku goreng udang kering yang dah di blend, then goreng telur and last sekali goreng hati while masak Kerutup ayam. Aku buat dalam 1 gantang Nasi Telur, so this time, masak ayam pun tak banyak, dalam 4 ekor je.

Siap masak about 11am. Hubby's guests came at 2pm. Penuh kejap rumah aku. Potek and his family came, then Rithaudin came with his family later. Bila bergossip dengan wife Potek, Niza, macam tak cukup masa. By the time Potek ajak balik, we were not done yet.. hahahha.. Terpaksa la Potek menunggu lagi. Sorry ye Potek. Lain kali kita org buat lagi. :P
