Thought of posting things tapi sangat malas so few updates dah jadik basi..

..of school holidays (yg paling basi :))

We went to Taiping for a short vacation, and off to Penang for a fren's wedding. The kids were enjoying themselves especially splashing time in the hotel's pool. And not forgetting the trip to Zoo Taiping. We skip the night safari though, sbb by the time malam, semua org dah penat.

Fun in the pool at the hotel.

A photo shoot with the phyton for the 3rd time.

The after-effect. make believe zoo at home. hehe..

.............

.. of works

am thinking of switching my job. saw the advert in the email. i like my current job, i like the environment & frens (read :comfort zone), tapi dah agak tepu & bosan dgn other dept yg susah nak cooperate. Tapi dlm dok contemplating nak apply ke tak, tengok2 dah expired la pulak job offer tu. haih..

Anyway, we'll be moving office coming next months, nearer to IKEA, hehe. boleh car pool with hubby. boleh jimat. * Haikal cakap Hagemaru dgn mak dia suka jimat*. but we'll be having few hot-desks here and there. Bos ckp boleh pilih nak keje kat mana2.. hehe..

............

.. of Husna's report card

i take a day off for her report card day, planning with babah to take the kids to watch Transformers after that, tapi babah kena cancel cuti lak sbb pi workshop. Luckily he managed to skip a few hours to join me at Husna's school. I didnt expect much from Husna, since it's her first exam. bila suruh study, dia cakap ' nak buat ape, semua tu kakak dah tau'. hmm ok.. yet to adapt to the concept of exam kot.. Anyway, kakak was doing just great , she got 5th place in her class. Ok la tu.. since i saw the difference between her and the 1st place is only 4 marks.. I think die banyak buang masa pi kaler semua gambar2 kat dalam soalan exam tu, so bila la pulak nak semak all her answers.

used to be my little girl.. not so little anymore.

.. of Humaira

Humaira now is already 4 months plus.. yet to get her 3rd injection next week. Why 3rd? because i missed her 2 months injection.. and so her 2nd was done on her 3rd months, and 3rd injection will be done on her 4th months. talk about byk saraf putus masa beranak.. excuses.. hehe.. camne tah boleh lupa. syndrome anak ramai agaknya, so dah jadik less komited. Nasib bawak pi private klinik, kalu pi klinik gomen sure kena marah dgn misi.

Humaira dah pandai mengiring sikit, but sesekali je die buat. Maybe berat so need to pull more effort. I think her weight is almost 8 kg now..

my little girl..

.............

.. of our big decision to make

we have a big plan, which also includes big $$. i pray for it to happen, and smoothly..

...............

.. of my dekat tapi jauh big brother

my brother and his family, now in uk will be back for good after 6 years studying/working over there. yeay on behalf of my mother who will be the happiest person. double yeay for hubby's 3 pairs of clarks, but none for me :(

Milk.

2009-05-10T08:54:00.004+08:00

These are milk for Humaira while I'm working, starting tomorrow. Not as much as Ija's, but hopefully enough for me tu fully breastfeed until she is at least 6 months old.

My little princess. Be a good girl, ye.

My fav choc cupcake.

2009-05-05T15:59:00.004+08:00

These were baked 20 minutes ago.

Thought of sharing this recipe. Very easy. Adapted from this recipe but simplified a little bit to suit whatever ingredients I have at the moment.

INGREDIENTS

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup white sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line muffin tins with paper cups or lightly spray with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, 1 cup sugar, cocoa, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Make a well in the center and add the water, oil and vanilla. Stir together until well blended. Fill muffin tins 1/3 full with the batter and top with chocolate chips.

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Final week..

2009-05-04T22:11:00.005+08:00

This week will be my final week of maternity leave. Sigh.. 2 months is not enough. The new bibik was pretty much okay to handle the baby. My only worry is for Haris to adjust being without me at home, since he still refuse to be with the maid.

I am lucky that Humaira is a very easy baby to handle. Milk, sleep, diaper change, milk , sleep. Very less noise. I can still get enough sleep at night, which is good since I dont have to qada' the sleep during the day. Hehe..

Most of my days was spent browsing the internet, mostly window shopping @ebay, beside entertaining Haris and Humaira. I manage to bid few set of clothes & shoes for Humaira, shoes for Haikal, Jeans & Bag for me :D. Takleh tinggal shopping walaupun tgh pantang. Dahla dapat duit bonus & ESOS.. yeay! I even wake up in he middle of the night / subuh2 buta to bid the items.. haha.. My hubby dah get used of me bangun tgh2 mlm , and his question in the morning will always be 'menang ke bid malam tadi? hehe.. such a sport, love u !

Humaira sleeping peacefully, her clothes was bought @ebay.

My growing family, minus Haris who was sleeping.

My cheeky Haris, comot lepas ratah susu.

Nextweek : Workloads, here I come.. heh

My Humaira

2009-04-15T21:22:00.009+08:00

Azima Humaira was born on 5/3/2009, a day after our 8th Anniversary. Our 4th bundle of joy.

Her first hour

Day 1

Day 2

1 week ++

1 month

Today, 40 hari..

Welcome to the family. We all love you!

Haris is 1 year old

2008-05-27T15:50:00.004+08:00

Haris turned one year old on 21st May 2008. I was away to JB, and luckily managed to get flight ticket for me to depart early in the morning and be back after maghrib the same day.

I asked my sister to bake a cake, and we decorated it upon me reaching home that night. I can barely open my eyes, was so exhausted.

Nevertheless, the kids are so happy except the birthday boy. Too small to understand. Kakak & Abang, already bought presents for Haris, paid by the father, on their way back from school.

The Birthday Boy

With the presents.

Mama & Babah doakan Haris menjadi anak yg soleh, berjaya di dunia & akhirat. Happy 1st Birthday, my baby.

Alive & kicking

2008-04-27T19:24:00.009+08:00

We're back. Spent 4 days at the land of the kangaroo, with hubby & Haris tagged along. It's autumn, cloudy day everyday.

Koala tu posing sama macam Haris.

With kangaroos. Jinak aje.

Kat Blue Mountain.

With Yan, dormmate C-10 masa kat STF. Thanks for the chocolate.

Makan Pizza halal, for dinner.

Dengan kawan2 training.

So much things to do. So little time. But we enjoy every moment of it.

Few Updates

2008-01-15T16:30:00.000+08:00

I was quiet for some time. Malas nak update. Anyway, here goes few events which I manage to recall at this moment;

Raya Haji @ Jengka

I called Balai Polis Jengka & Karak to make sure our route are flood-free. Nevertheless, traffic was very heavy the day before Raya. Budak2 semua dah restless. Supposedly the journey only takes 3 hours, but the traffic already bumper-to-bumper starting from KL lagi. We reached my house after 6 hours of driving. Sabar je la..

About Haris

I notice Haris' development was quite advanced compared to Kakak & Abang. By 4 months he can lie on his stomach unaided, then move forward commando-style by 5th months, managed to sit wiggly by 6th months, and crawl by 7 months, which was during Hari Raya Haji. One week after that, he can stand by holding on things. How time flies.

The kids started school

We registered the kids during the very last minutes, which was actually 3 days before school start. We intend to send both kids at the same school as Husna's last year, but there's transport problem. At last, the teacher agreed to sent the kids home. Problem solved.

So this is Husna's second year at the school, and on the other hand, totally new environment for Haikal. Nevertheless, Haikal was very cool on his first day of school, since he was always accompanied by Kakak, and he knows almost all Husna's friends & teachers. (Kakak balik sekolah selalu cerita, & dia pun selalu berangan pi sekolah & befriended Husna's friends - sort of Husna's friends were his imaginary friend).

Since there's no hassle, we left the kids at school early and went for windows shopping & lunchdate at Eastin - using free vouchers courtesy from the training I attended during Ramadhan last year .

Husna's Birthday Party

This year, my Husna has turned 6. We celebrated ala kadar je. It's a small gathering. Husna invited few of her friends at school, while we invited few close neighbours & friends. I baked Husna birthday cake, it's a Barbie Cake which the cake pan I bought at ebay. I bake my kids' birthday cake, it's another way to save. I cook few dishes like Spaghetti Marinara, Pizza & Mihun goreng, and accompanied by trifles as the desert. The day before, we pack some goodies for the kids.

It's exhausting, but we're happy to see she's happy.

Happy 6th birthday my sunshine!

Haris' first teeth

2007-11-22T22:04:00.000+08:00

Haris dgn gigi baru. Tumbuh on hist 5th month.. My cute lil baby.. (sesi puji anak sendiri.. hehe)

Short trip - Ganu

2007-11-19T20:15:00.001+08:00

During Raya holiday, we managed to slip to Terengganu for Cuti-cuti Malaysia. The last time I went there was like 10 years back, but not much changes to the place, I think.

Happy kids by the beach.

My shining stars..

We went shopping tak ingat at Pasar Payang. End up , we unintentionally left baby's stroller on the roadside while piling up loads of shopping bags into the car during the heavy rain. *sigh* . Whoever found the stroller, we all sedekah je la.

Raya entry

2007-11-01T22:08:00.001+08:00

Tahun ni raya kat Kota Tinggi. First day raya, jalan2 rumah jiran terdekat. 2nd day raya , jalan2 kat kampung sebelah, pi rumah Mohen & rumah member Azhar. Third day raya, singgah rumah nenek Azhar, then balik Pahang. Nothing much to story about raya, standard agenda je, jalan/makan (ulang 100x) :P

Family pix. 5 of us this year. 1st raya for Haris.

Beraya ramai2..

Gadis2 & bujang. Jumpa ular mati kat tengah jalan.

With cousins

Uih nampak lubang idung.. hehe

Raya mood

2007-10-08T23:47:00.000+08:00

Ramadhan dah almost coming to end. Will be going back to Kota Tinggi for raya on Wednesday.. then to Pahang on the 3rd day of raya. Kuih raya dah siap, buat sekadar yg termampu. Ade la dalam 10 jenis.. hahah.. actually it was more experimenting with new recipes using my new Europa. Cepatnya siap kerja compared to my cute 24 litres oven yang dah 5 tahun berjasa.

On the other hand, budak2 dah start main bunga api from the first week of Ramadhan. Despite being banned, senang je rupanya nak cari. Ade je jual kat pasar Ramadhan / Pasar malam. Nak order bunga api kat opis pun ade.. heheh..

Babah main bunga api on behalf of Haris.

Husna & Haikal having fun..

Will be having Smart Orange training tomorrow. Boringnya training time org dah nak cuti2. Bulan pose lak tu. Attended the 1st class last 2 weeks, and was given few assignments. Tomorrow will be the 2nd class, but have not even started a single word for the assignment. Camno tuh? Planning to do half during sahur this morning, and another half during the class itself.. hehe (pray I will not being picked up to present, else kantoi).

Good nite!

Haris in action

2007-10-06T15:45:00.000+08:00

Harid dah 4 months & dah pandai meniarap. How time flies..

Udang Supreme

2007-09-20T21:39:00.000+08:00

Saje nak share resepi yg simple utk bukak pose. Jumpa resepi ni dlm RASA, tapi dah di alter sikit2.

Bahan :

Udang

Bawang merah

Bawang putih

Halia

Cili besar

Sostiram

Kicap manis

Kicap cair

Daun limau purut

Cara2:

Goreng udang sekejap. Agak udang dah tukar kaler terus je angkat.

Kisar kasar bahan 2-5. Patutnya kena cincang halus, tapi nak cepat blend je.

Tumis bahan kisar, masukkan bahan 6-8 secukup rasa. Tambah air sikit kalau taknak pekat sangat

Masukkan udang & daun limau purut (kalu ikut resepi actually guna daun kari - tapi takde stok so guna je la daun ape2 yg ade kat fridge). Kacau rata2, bila dah mendidih je bulih la angkat

Siap utk dimakan.

Selamat Berpose.

Flora & Fauna

2007-09-05T22:16:00.001+08:00

On Merdeka's eve, we went to a dinner at Singgahsana organised by Husna's school. One of the agenda was Pakaian Beragam with Flora & Fauna theme. Husna did not win any prizes, nevertheless, they had fun with Haikal pun menyebuk sama.

Was being informed of the Dinner the day before. So after work, I rushed to Warta and bought some artificial flowers, and attached them to her jacket and hat using safety-pins. Done within 1/2 hour, we rushed to the hotel early to avoid heavy traffic due to road closure.

Husna and her makeshift Flora & Fauna dress

Haikal and the snake.
Supposedly, the snake is for Husna tapi kakak tak cukup tangan nak bawak.

Our Shining Star..

2007-08-27T22:29:00.000+08:00

Today is Haikal's 4th Birthday. Bought his gift @ MidValley on my way to BRF. And upon reaching home, whipped some buttercream and use yesterday's leftover buttercake, for his birthday cake. Cincai2 jek, asalkan ade..

On your birthday

Wishing you a handful of sunshine

A heart full of dreams
And a world of happiness

Happy Birthday
To the shining star
Of our life

May Allah bless U always..

Love,

Mama, Babah, Husna & Haris

Bandung - Last day (6th March 2006)

2006-04-01T10:44:00.000+08:00

Ni sambungan blog pasal Bandung.. lamanya terbengkalai.. bz dan malas..

So last day takde pi mana2, sbb flight depart to Kl at 8:30 AM. Sebelah malamnya dah siap pack barang2 utk diangkut balik ke KL...

a. Satu2nya gambar berempat, kat lobby hotel
b. Our bags... asalnya bawak satu beg yg merah tu.. balik bertambah lagi 4 bags..

Then naik teksi pi airport.. dekat je dlm 15 mins kot.. Kat airport masa check in kena charge pasal terlebih muatan.. kena charge 1 kilo = Rp 35000 = RM 14. Maximum utk 4 org 60 kg je.. kitorang dah terlebih 13 kg. Slow talk sket dgn org kat kaunter dia bagi diskaun so bayar utk 5 kilo.. itu pun dari KL kitorang bawak baju sorang sepasang je .. hmm..

Masa check-in kat kaunter Air Asia.

Kitorang terlupa nak kena bayar airport tax. Dah la cash Rp tak cukup.. takleh pakai credit kad lak tu.. money changer dah la jauh.. last2 tukar duit dgn staf kastam kat airport tu.. diorang siap ambik untung byk lak tu.. nasib la.. so moralnya, dah nak balik KL pun kena bwk lebih cash Rp. Airport tax sorang kena Rp 60 000, so kitorang kena Rp 240 000 = Rm 96.

Budak2 kat dalam flight..

Well, dlm post sebelum ni ade org tanya harga brg2 kat sana.. so ni cth2 brg2 yg kitorang beli..
Sepasang dress budak Ralph Lauren = Rp 39 000 = RM 15.60
Sepasang Tshirt & Jeans budak Disney (Pooh, Dora etc ) = Rp 60 000 ++ = RM24
Kemeja lelaki CK = Rp79 000 = RM32
Seluar lelaki Mark & Spencer = Rp 50 000 = RM 20
Hand bag Esprit = Rp 150 000 = RM 60
My shoes dlm range RM 12 - RM 40 sepasang.

Ni antara hasil2 di Bandung.. so kitorang akan bercuti dari bershopping utk jangka masa setahun.. haha.. mampu ke menahan napsu especially time sale eh?

Bandung - Day 5 (5th March 2006)

2006-03-08T20:49:00.000+08:00

Last day for shopping

Since the last 4 days dok merayap kat kedai je, so hari ke-5, after breakfast, kitorang pi ke Kebun Binatang = zoo. Naik angkutan yg ade tulis Cicaheum-Ledeng, then berenti betul2 depan zoo. Tapi actually tak plan pun nak masuk zoo tu. The real plan was for the kids to ride the horse. Nak bagi budak2 bergembira sikit..

Naik kereta kuda = Rp 10 000 = RM 4

Horse riding = Rp 7000 = RM 2.80

After that, sambung balik aktiviti shopping .. hehe.. next stop was Episode FO, then proceed to Solution Shoes Fashion Bag. Kat kedai Solution ni byk bags & kasut yg branded eg Gucci, Guess, LV, TODS, Ferragamo dan yg sewaktu dgnnya. Harga bag2 ni cthnya Gucci dlm range RM 200- RM300. Rasanya original kot.. tapi ntah la.. sbb tak beli pun.. lagi pun tak pernah ada bag2 branded ni.. so tak pandai pun nak identify ori ke tak..

Then singgah sat kat Uptown FO. Well, actually majority FO ni barang2 die dgn FO yg lain sama je. Bezanya cuma banyak/tak banyak choice. Kalu kedai besar byk la pilihan.. tapi harga nya sama je . Cthnya baju Esprit yg kitorang beli tu, bila jumpa baju yg sama kat kedai2 yg lain, harganya sama je..

Depan kedai Solution and Uptown FO

Tgh hari balik Hotel utk rest sekejap, the pi Pasar Baru cari kain batik & selendang. Ingat nak cari baju kebaya tapi tak byk choice sgt. Agaknya dah out of season kot..

Dalam Pasar Baru & kebaya sulamku.. bulih buat baju raya this year..

Sebelah malam dinner kat Restoran Simpang Raya - almost every day kitorang makan kat restorang ni sbb seberang jalan je dgn Hotel kitorang. Makanan sedap & style hidang byk2 lauk tu. Tapi kitorang pilih 3-4 lauk je.. tu pun sekali makan average Rp40 000 = RM 16. Rasanya macam agak mahal.. tak tau la tah2 kitorang kena tipu ..

Depan Restoran Simpang Raya & cth lauk2 kat situ

Lepas makan, last destination was DSE - Dago Stok Ekspot. Dekat je.. within walking distance je dgn Hotel.. Purpose nak cari bags. .. bag yg kitorang bawak tak cukup utk menampung jumlah barang yg dibeli.. hehe

Depan DSE..

Bandung - Day 4 (4th March 2006)

2006-03-07T16:46:00.000+08:00

Happy 5th Anniversary to us!

Hari keempat kitorang ke Jalan Cihampelas. Dengarnya kat jalan ni kira macam pusat jeans la. Naik angkutan yg ade tulis Cicaheum- Ledeng. Sampai je, ade lah beberapa Factory Outlet. Kedai jual jeans mmg banyak, tapi rasa macam kat Chow Kit je kedainya, sungguh rasa kurang confident nak shopping. So sudahnya tak beli ape2 pun, takut terbeli yg tak ori sbb masa cek tgk byk made in China.

Kat jalan Cihampelas

Kitorang lunch kat McD, makan Big Mac & spaghetti. Tak pernah lak jumpa McD juai spaghetti. Satu yang bagus kat Bandung ni, majority dalam kedai/FO ade musolla = surau. Even dalam McD pun ade surau. Respek sungguh..

Surau kat dalam McD..

Tgh hari kitorang balik ke Jalan Dago. So takde hasil kat Jln Cihampelas, cuma beli soft toys utk budak2 je.

Sebelah ptg kitorang jln2 kat Rich & Famous Factory Outlet. FO ni siap ade cafe kat dalam dia. Senang nya.. 2 fresh juice = Rp 14 000 = RM 5.60. Hmm not bad. Tapi jgn order fresh orange, sbb rasanya guna limau nipis kot.. masam gile..

Cafe at Rich & Famous FO

Since menunya nampak macam sedap, we planned to have our anniversary dinner kat cafe tu lagi.

Proceed to Victoria FO, shopping wallet. Kitorang borong wallet sorang 3.. hehehe..

Depan Victoria FO & my wallets.. :D

Hasil shopping hari ke-4

Sebelah malam, after maghrib kitorang jalan kaki je dari hotel ke cafe Rich & Famous. For our candle light dinner (cewah) kitorang order:

Large tenderloin steak - sungguh besar sampai tak abis share makan 4 org
Onion ring
Corn Soup
Pineapple juice & melon juice
Hot chocolate
Mocha shake

Lepas makan ingat nak tunggu live music, tapi budak2 dah tertido la pulak. Total bil = Rp 100k = RM 40.

The dinner..

Bandung - Day 3 (3rd March 2006)

2006-03-07T14:37:00.000+08:00

Pagi2 dah ade call dari receptionist. Rupanya nak tanya ' breakfastnya mau di antar ke bilik bu?' Wah.. mestila mau.. senang nya makan sambil siapkan budak2 . Lepas tu every morning kitorang call mintak breakfast.. haha..

Agenda hari ketiga - beli kasut & bag. Before keluar dah siap tanya receptionist pompuan kat hotel tu, tempat2 utk shopping kasut dgn bag dgn brg2 budak2.

'"apa itu kasut?" ..
ler rupanya tak paham soalan kitorang. Diorang sebut kasut = sepatu , bag = tas.
" itu sepatu & tas ada di Donatello"
"barangan kanak2 ada dijual di Lavie, Jalan Imam Bonjol" huh? what a name..

Actually bahasa kita lebih kurang je dgn diorang.. maybe sbb dlm bandar kot. Cuma sebutan agak baku & vocab diorang kurang dari kita.

So naik angkutan turun kat Donatello. Kedai2 ni dan yg sebelumnya kitorang pegi semuanya kat jalan yg sama - Jalan Dago - which is satu row je dgn hotel kitorang. Actually berderet2 Factoty Outlet kat sepanjang Jalan Dago ni. Tapi kalu nak menapak mau berpeluh gak dgn budak2 lagi..

Abis shopping budak2 dah kelaparan. So kitorang lunch mi kocok & mi bakso. Sedap gak. Pastu ade org jual2 buah strawberry & raspberry. Kitorang try beli raspberry 2 kotak kecik = Rp 25 000 = RM 10. Macam mahal je.. tah2 kena katuk lagi.. So first time makan fresh raspberry.. memang sedap & manis.

Yummy raspberry

Mi kocok yg dah kena makan & mi baso

Slurrppp...

After lunch jalan2 kat kedai dekat2 situ je.. FO Blossom, FO Glamour & beberapa lagi.. lupa dah nama kedai. Then jalan kaki ke Lavie - kedai brg budak2. Budak2 dah penat so kena dukung. Gile penat mama & babah.. dah berat rupanya anak2 aku nih.. sampai kedai terus cari gendong budak..

Ni gendong budak kitorang beli kat Lavie around RM20. Haikal cakap "nak dukung bee" kalau die mintak nak gendong.. macam baby kanggaru..

Kitorang beli satu je gendong ni. Bila time nak dukung berebut2 la pulak budak 2 org tuh.. adoi la..

Hasil pada hari ke3

Bandung - Day 2 (2nd March 2006)

2006-03-07T14:04:00.000+08:00

Kat Bandung waktu dia sejam awal dari Malaysia. So pagi turun breakfast around 8 AM, kat cafe hotel. Makan kat hotel Bandung tak macam kat Malaysia. Kalu kat Malaysia buffet style makan sampai tak muat perut. Kat hotel kitorang kenaorder.. tu pun ade 3 options aje - nasik goreng , roti or bubur with air teh/kopi.

Our first destination for the day was HSBC , nak mengeluarkan ongkos utk shopping seterusnya. Mula2 naik angkutan sampai ke Pasar Baru. Pastu naik beca ke HSBC. Gile kesian tengok org kayuh beca angkut kitorang. Tu pun kitorang amik 2 beca. Budak2 suka ~~jakun~~ gile naik beca, berangin jek.

Pi balik ke Pasar Baru, beca charge kitorang Rp 50 000 = RM20 utk dua beca. Huh ? rasa macam kena katuk je. Kat pasar Baru terkenal dgn tempat jual tudung2, kain batik & telekung. Kira macam kedai2 kat jln TAR la. Borong sikit je this time.

Tgh hari balik ke Hotel sbb budak2 dah penat. Bagi diorang tido dulu pastu ptg shopping utk round yg kedua kat Merdeka Arcade. Lupa nak amik gambar hasil shopping sbb balik bilik dah kepenatan..

Bandung - Day 1 (1st March 2006)

2006-03-07T11:40:00.000+08:00

Flight dari KLIA depart at 7:35 am. So mlmnya dah siap call teksi utk pick up at 5:30 am. :O . So angkut je budak2 tgh tido, sampai KLIA at 6:10, terus je beratur utk check in sbb dah ramai org. Haikal yg asalnya ngantuk terus je excited sbb nak naik 'erofen' - dalam bahasa Haikal. Lepas solat terus je rushing ke departure hall, ngam2 je masa.

So flight amik masa 2 jam, budak2 tido je dlm flight, lega sikit. Sbb tak breakfast lagi, kitorang order je nasik lemak dlm flight. Gile mahal nasik lemak secebis je dah RM8. Tapi sebab nak alas perut beli satu je share 2 org.

Amik gambar setibanya di Bandung. Gerimis sikit2.

Dlm bilik hotel. Budak2 lapar so bagi makan serunding daging. Macam makan nasik..

Touchdown kat Bandung, terus amik teksi (Rp 35 000 = RM 14 ) utk check in at Hotel Karmila, yg dah di book through phone je. Tapi nasib malang sikit dapat driver yg tak terer sampai sesat2 nak carik Hotel. 3x pusing jalan yg sama.. 3x tanya2 org tepi jalan.. hampeh sungguh. Nasib baik bayar flat rate je.

Lepas simpan barang, terus cergas jalan2 di sekitar Hotel. Lunch kat Pizza Hut, around RM 20. Waittress kat sini sume cun2. Terkagum sekejap kitorang.. :). Actually makan2 kat Bandung is quite expensive, kalau nak dikirakan rate duit die yg murah tu.

Lunch kat pizza Hut. Spaghetti Sapi (daging lembu) die kurang sedap.

Yang best kat Bandung ni, is their public transport. Sungguh efisyen, especially kalu naik 'angkutan' - is actually a van . Angkutan ni ade route die, kira macam bas la kalu kat sini. Sentiasa ade & murah, and flat rate and bulih berenti kat mana2 je. Sekali naik sorang Rp1000 = 40 sen. Time nak suruh berenti kena cakap ' kiri kiri'. Tak sure sgt nape kena sebut tu, tapi org lain buat so kitorang ikut je la.

Kedai2 kat Bandung di panggil boutique, and sebuah2 macam rumah2 banglo kalu kat sini. So our first stop was Istana Sepatu. Beli kasut Azhar & Husna sorang sepasang. Then sebelah die ada Merdeka Arcade. Rambang mata tengok baju2 especially baju girls. Husna la yg paling untung sbb gile banyak choice baju2 yg comel2 utk die.

Ni hasil hari pertama shopping spree.

Bye bye Bandung

2006-03-06T13:53:00.000+08:00

Baru je sampai dari Bandung.. Stories will be blogged soon..

My Baby..

2006-02-26T16:46:00.000+08:00

You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.
You'd be like Heaven to touch.
I wanna hold you so much.
At long last love has arrived
And I thank God I'm alive.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

Pardon the way that I stare.
There's nothing else to compare.
The sight of you leaves me weak.
There are no words left to speak,
But if you feel like I feel,
Please let me know that it's real.
You're just too good to be true.
Can't take my eyes off you.

I love you, baby,
And if it's quite alright,
I need you, baby,
To warm a lonely night.
I love you, baby.
Trust in me when I say:
Oh, pretty baby,
Don't bring me down, I pray.
Oh, pretty baby, now that I found you, stay
And let me love you, baby.
Let me love you.

230 gm gula castor * or 1 cup
4 biji telur
1 sdb ovallete
1-2 titis esen pisang

300 gm tepung gandum *or 2 3/4 cups
1 sdt baking powder
1 sdt soda bikarbonat

Bahan (C) - blend bersama
10 biji pisang berangan
250 ml susu segar perasa koko

Masukkan Bahan (C) & whip sikit
Masukkan Bahan (B) & whip sikit

Note :
*Kek ni kuantiti die agak banyak, kalu bekas nak bakar kecik rasanya kena masak 2 kali. Me guna 9 x 9 inch square pan
* Kalu takde susu coklat bulih gak ganti dgn susu biasa, nanti kaler die lebih cerah & agak kurang manis
* Pisang bulih guna jenis lain, tak semestinya pisang berangan. Kalau guna pisang yg kecik eg pisang emas, kena lebihkan sikit pisangnya. Agak2 je la..

Requested by Nani, here goes..

Bahan A : Sos Merah

500g minced beef/ayam/ * biasa pakai ramly burger mince beef tu.. satu ketul tu cukup
1 tin tomato puree * biasa guna brand S&W, takpun lagi senang guna Campbell's Tomato & Basil
1 biji bawang besar dipotong dadu
2-3 biji bawang putih dicincang
1 tin mushroom - hiris sesuka hati
1-2 biji tomato - potong dadu
Kiub daging / ayam kalu suka
oregano
black pepper

- kalu suka byk sayur bulih tambah carrot / celery / green pepper

Tumiskan bawang besar dan bawang putih hingga naik baunya
Masukkan daging cincang, biarkan seketika
Masukkan pula tomato puree
Masukkan mushroom & tomato - ataupun sayur2 lain
Masukkan black pepper, oregano, garam dan gula secukupnya. Kacaukan sekali sekala hingga masak dan kuah agak pekat

Bahan B : Sos Putih

2 sudu butter
2-3 sudu tepung
2 cawan susu
1 cawan parutan cheese - aku guna cheddar & mozarella cheese *cheese ni suka hati nak byk ke sikit.. 1/2 cawan pun ok
sikit garam, black peper & oregano

Atas api perlahan, masak butter, then masukkan tepung, kacau rata
Masukkan susu
Agak2 mendidih masukkan garam, black pepper & oregano secukup rasa. Kalu nak rasa kena darah tinggi sila lebihkan garam :D
agak dah pekat sikit, masukkan cheese, terus tutup api, then kacau sampai cheese cair

Ulang a - d sampai abis bahan2. Biasa aku buat 2 lapis je. Lapis atas sekali mesti diakhiri dgn sos putih, pastu boleh taburkan grated cheese byk2 .

Bakar dlm oven suhu dlm 175 C dlm 30 minit. Cucuk dgn tester/ lidi utk cek sama ada lasagna sheet tu lembut ke tak. Kalu tak lembut, bakar sikit lagi sampai lembut.

Note :
Lasagna sheet ni bulih diganti dgn macaroni or pasta2 lain. Proses sama, cuma macaroni tu kena rebus sampai lembut dulu. Bakar dlm 20 minit.

Kalu ada leftover kuah spaghetti bolognaise pun boleh guna sebagai sos merah.

Okay, slamat mencuba.

Resepi Pop Corn

2006-02-14T15:54:00.000+08:00

This recipe was requested by few opismates & Diana.

* Diana weh, bila nak start blog ko?

Easy Pop Corn Recipe

2-3 tbsp corn oil
1/2 cup corn ( biasanya main agak2 je dlm 2 genggam)
* Jagung kering ni ade jual timbang kat Carrefour. Kat billion pun ade dah siap paket2.

Cara :

Bubuh minyak jagung dlm non-stick wok. Agak2 dah panas bubuh je jagung dlm kuali tu dan tutup dgn penutup kuali. Api perlahan je. Biarkan die meletup2 sendiri sampai agak2 sume jagung dah abis meletup. Ketepikan sat.

* Jgn pakai kuali/periuk biasa, nanti die melekat & hangit. Aku dah cuba dah..
* ade org pakai microwave. Tapi aku tak penah cuba. Sape dah try pakai microwave bulih bagi feedback

Cara buat sira utk pop corn :

1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup corn syrup / liquid glucose
* Tak penah jumpa corn syrup, so substitute dgn liquid glucose - boleh beli kat kedai juai bahan2 buat kek, kat Bangi ade Yummy Bakery kat belakang Warta

Masak 3 bahan di atas sampai berbuih2, pastu campurkan dgn pop corn tadi, kacau sampai rata atas api perlahan. Kalu taknak manis sgt bulih bubuh sikit2 sira sampai sesedap rasa.

Bila dah agak2 rata, bubuh popcorn tu atas dulang & bakar sekejap dlm oven dln 3-4 minit, utk bagi crunchy.

Siap utk dimakan seisi keluarga sambil tengok Playhouse Disney Chanel.

Happy Sunday..

2005-12-18T15:13:00.000+08:00

So far we had not being productive these 2 days. Rilek2 tak buat ape2.. Rumah pun tak kemas lagi.. Lunch pun tak masak hari ni. Lucky we were invited for a kenduri kesyukuran by our neighbour. Haha.. sungguh malas.

The only thing that I think was quite fruitful was, we went to Pasar Borong Selangor to buy some groceries. That was early in the morning. After done with our business in the wet market, our attention was diverted by the nursery nearby. Borong pokok lagi.. Here are some of the verdicts. (Click on the image for a larger view)

Our brand new light purple & dark purple Petunias

Talk about petunias, the husband was always dreaming of having these kind of flowers. At last, mission accomplished. Other that that, we bought other kind of flowers which I dont know the name, but was told it was a family of cactus. Whatever..

The I-dont-know-the-name flowers

Then after having my home-cooked mee goreng mamak, the husband wanted to do some gardening, with the daughter as the assistant.

Husna tengah tolong ~~kacau~~ babah..

Pokok ni masa beli banyak bunga. Bila kitorang bela takde lak bunga die.. hampeh.. So the husband replaced the soil, helped by Husna, after we discovered some worms in the soil. Maybe they were the culprit all this while yg menyebabkan bunga2 tu pupus.

Tadaa.. Look at my hands..

Come to think again, our weekend was not that unfruitful. How about your weekends?

Busy as bee..

2005-12-15T20:26:00.000+08:00

Today we were busy. After I finished cooking mihun goreng for breakfast, the husband coming downstairs without his office attire.

I : Eh tak keje ke hari ni?
H: Macam malas. Jom EL..
I : Hurmm..

The husband was suppose to attend a meeting today at his office. But he dont like the meeting. I have 2 meetings to attend. But ~~ponteng~~ EL once in a while pun ok gak.

So today activities were;

While in Alamanda, we stumbled upon 2 Ninja Turtles. Managed to snap few photos with them.

Haikal with one of the Ninja. Muka cuak je..

The kids are having a good time playing at the Little Buds.

And few times riding the merry go round..

Then I remember of Husna's request to has her ears pierced, same like Mama's.
M : Nak ke ear-rings macam Mama?
H : Nak..
M : Nanti sakit sikit. Boleh tak?
H : Okay..

Then we get into Tomei to have the shot. She chose the green studded earrings. Ok.. ready..

After spraying on both ears, here we go.. One, two, three, go! She didnt even flinched. That's my girl..

Yeah.. Now I'm a big girl...

Now all smiles.. time to eat..

The Taman..

2005-12-14T07:32:00.000+08:00

This is our taman... in front of our house which actually 'sekangkang kera' aje.

This is the kuchai which were re-planted by my mother. Dah besar nanti, senang nak buat cekodok..

The 'Datin'

2005-12-13T10:10:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was quite hectic for me. My mother wanted to re-plant our pokok kuchai and also the orchid she brought from kampung. So she need a few new flower pots. Off we go to the nearest nursery to get all her needs. The first nursery which I know, to my disappointment, was closed, forever. I think the site was confiscated or bought over for other construction works.

Then we went to the second nursery. Too expensive. I dont know that a plastic pot for that size can cost so much, at RM60. Then the third nursery, which will be the last option, since I dont know the way to other nursery (we have quite a lot nurseries in Bangi). The price quite okay, except that they dont have plastic pot. While looking around, the employee asked me;

E : You ni datin ka?
I : No, why?
E : Sini selalu dato & datin datang. You look like one of them.
I : Haha ya ka. Ok la kalau nak panggil datin pon boleh jugak..

My mother and I burst into laughters. Saje je nak jek org la tu suruh beli pasu die.

At last we bought 5 pots and 13 bags of soil.

Yesterday, my mother & sister manage to organise our long-abandoned plants & flowers. Will take few photos tomorrow.

Ahem.. the 'Datin'

Doorless for 2 years

2005-12-10T21:36:00.000+08:00

At last, our store has a door, that was after 2 years of being doorless. The door was actually recycled from our main entrance door, which was 'dikopak' after my kids trapped inside the house while my daily-maid-cum-babysitter was outside hanging the laundry. Husna way playfully locked the door from inside, by pushing the lock button, which to the maid's horror since Husna was not big enough to know how to open the door. Luckily, there were few contractors doing some renovation in my neighbourhood. They came to the rescue by ruining my door. At least I get a new solid wood door instead of that 'macam-pintu-bilik-air' door. Next project will be painting the door or put the leftover wallpaper, which to be decided later (tu pun kalau rajin).

The completed DIY project

The kids were asleep, without having their dinner. Poor my babies. Too exhausted I think, without getting their normal day sleep, since too busy messing around together. I just done with cleaning up the spilled slurpee in front of the TV, which was actually a full cup of slurpee. Husna calling up for me while I'm in the kitchen, to report on the incident by Adik. Nowadays, any misconduct was always being blamed on Adik. Sometimes I wonder, on whether the culprit was really Adik, or because Adik is not big enough to report anything to me or to defend himself. (jadik kambing hitam for Husna.. haha)

Tonight, we are having macaroni bolognaise for dinner.

Yummy..

Tomorrow, my family from kampung will be coming to our house. Next week, on Wednesday to be exact, my maid will be having her 3 weeks leave. Back to Jawa, Indonesia. That's the reason my family will be here, beside the school holidays.

Okay, have to do some house-cleaning . Have a nice Sunday..

Our new toy

2005-12-09T21:27:00.000+08:00

Guess what, yesterday, the new toy was delivered to our doorstep. After much deliberation, at last we decided to buy the much awaited black box, which makes my money reduced by RM xxx.

After browsing around during PC fair at KLCC on Friday last week, then we decided to settle on DELL.

On top of that, the husband bought the wireless AP for the house, to complement the Streamyx which was installed last 2 weeks.

Now, both of us have no reason to stay back late at the office. Pretty good deal..

Cuti-cuti Indonesia

2005-12-07T16:35:00.000+08:00

Today, Air Asia starts their promotion on 2 mil free seats for all destinations. Ignoring all the workloads, I start browsing the website for available seats for my first choice of destination, that is Langkawi. Have been to Langkawi before, but feels like going there again. You see, most of my collection of dishes, especially spoons have been MIA, so I see there's need for another round of shopping for kitchen appliances (alasan je nih.. ).

So here I am, booking for RM 0.00 return flight tickets to Langkawi for 4 person. I still can see the free ticket for the date that I set, but only manage to see error page each time I tried booking. Get an upgrade la Air Asia, I think the servers cannot sustain the many concurrent users trying to get through. After the umpteenth time trying, the free tickets are gone. Dah jadi RM9.90 la pulak.. ciss.. Must be somebody have got the free tickets, while I tried unsuccessfully.

Okay, change plan. I look for other option, well Bandung is not a bad idea. I tried booking, but the same error page. Hampeh sungguh. After almost 2 hours trying, after my fingers are like numb, then finally I manage to secure the RM0.00 tickets to Bandung. Even the tickets are advertised as free, but you still have to pay for the taxes which for me it cost around RM 500++ (for 4 person).

So we will be celebrating our 5th Anniversary oversea. haha..

So, have you book your Air Asia free ticket ? Asia Asia, now everyone can fly..

Streamyx for sale..

2005-12-07T10:42:00.000+08:00

Last night, my husband went to one of our neighbour's house for a discussion on security issue of our housing area. I managed to persuade him to bring along streamyx forms to be distributed among our neigbours. Hmm.. talk about company loyalty. I should get 5 for my KPI this year.. haha..

My daughter begging to tag along with the father. She hastily get dressed and ready to go. My conversation with Husna..

M : Pi bilik air dulu.. nanti kat rumah org susah kalau nak kencing..
H : Kat rumah orang pun ada bilik air jugak.. boleh aje..
M : * sigh *

3 times toll

2005-12-06T21:05:00.000+08:00

Am thinking of blogging this event last week. We went for a wedding of Azhar's cousin last two weeks at Batu Pahat. Such a tiring journey of 2 1/2 hours, since we just had our Aidilfitri open house the day before, and the next morning having to rush to the wedding without actually finish cleaning up the mess. (Our last guest leaving at 12 midnight, and I was too tired for any dirty work - that was to do the dishwashing and whatnots).

So, we arrived at the kenduri around 1 pm, and straightly headed toward the lunch buffet.

Shortly after devouring the lunch, it was time for the arrival of the groom. Such an exciting experience for onlookers, since the groom was stopped for 3 times for the toll giving, and for each stop, I can see there were more than 10 eager hands waiting for the angpow. Kopak la pengapit pengantin tuh..

Makcik2 tgh tawar menawar Berebut2 ang pow

Nak duduk kerusi pengantin pun kena toll lagi sekali. First, upon entering the house compund, then upon entering the house and finally at the pelamin. This is Johor's culture I think. We dont have such thing during my wedding at Pahang. But I wonder, even during kenduri at Azhar's side at Johor, there was no toll either. So my conclusion will be, the toll giving only applicable at Johor, but only at the bride's side.

Azhar and I were given the privilege to do the 'tepung tawar' on the pengantin. Quite an experience for me since this is my first time having to hold an egg to be kissed by the bride & groom.

Then comes the much-waited event for the kids, which was 'tossing sweets' or baling gula gula. I didnt expect it to come, and to my surprise, they throw coins as well, which I only discovered when the coin hit my forehead. Ow, that hurts. Lucky the coins didnt reach my kid's skin. Neverthless, beside the various sweets, I manage to collect RM 1.40. Not bad eh. (Actually berebut rebut dgn budak2.. haha)

It's weekend at last..

2005-12-03T15:09:00.000+08:00

This week, I spent most of my working time at MMC for a network training. (MMC was previously known as TTC - a fact that only known to me after quite a search - pity me) . The training was suppose to start on Monday until Thursday. Unfortunately (or fortunately.. haha ), the training on Monday was cancelled, which to our dismay,we are only being informed after almost 2 hours waiting impatiently for the trainer to pop into the classroom. What else to do? Not left with much choices, to either go back to the office at Cyberjaya (huh) or continue with donating our money at Jalan TAR nearby.. haha.. So most of the girls opt for option no 2, while the rest are heading towards Cyberjaya ( or home?). The result, see picture below...

The outcome of spending the day at Kedai Kain at Jalan TAR

Hmm ok la.. baju raya for Raya Haji next month.

The training on Monday was replaced on Friday. However, I skipped the class , since I was invited for a Bicara Minda with Dato Seri Shahrizat Abdul Jalil at Pan Pacific KL. Aside from the lavish food, the agenda was basically a Q&A session with the Dato Seri. Quite a fruitful event, especially to those who are keen on networking with important people (Mind you, those who are coming are mostly the Datins, Profs & Dr), except that it was shorten due to the fact that Dato Shahrizat was rushing for another event at Pengkalan Pasir ( to campaign for the upcoming small election). My collegue was one of the people who threw the question/suggestion which was, on making it compulsory for company to have a Daycare / Nursery at the office building, for the sake of mothers who like having the kids in the vicinity of the office. Bravo K Aini..

(Fact : The program of having Daycare at the office was already being campaigned long before, which one of the benefit is the company will be waived of RM50k of tax. The problem is, most companies don't wanna have it, for reason known only to them)

So, today is Saturday. Until now, I can't think of any useful work I've done so far at home, except washing piles of clothes for 2 rounds, but only managed to hang half of them because it seems like the rain is coming (or actually malas nak sidai.. haha). Ok now, got to hang the rest of the clothes to dry outside, or else having it doubled tomorrow.

Note : I' ve updated my fotopages with more photos of ITTM gathering.
