COOKING WITH LOVE

Lama dah tak buat entry bergambar. Ye lahh... semenjak ada facebook nih, dah naik malas la pulak nak upload gmbr kat blog. Lagipun gmbr2 semua simpan kat dalam laptop yg most of the time di conquer oleh kanak2 yg sangat gemar main games.
So today, its an entry full with pics.



ONE DAY PONTENG SEKOLAH...

After few days without proper meal since mummy is sooooo busy (malas masak sebenarnya, sejuk nak masuk dapur...), I prepared lunch, spesel punya. (kira spesel la kan, dari makan burger). Here it goes, the chronology of a lunch cooked with love..... hehe.

Muka org baru bangun tido selepas bekerja shift malam dari pukul 4 petang sampai pukul 6 pagi. Bersedia utk makan...

nasi putih beras basmathi jenama kyber yg baru dibeli dari anak angkat yg jadi ejen beras. Harganya murah dari pasaran local, 10kg harganya 13.50pound. (Roy... promo nih...)
pastikan nasi yg dihidang tak berketul-ketul (ikut petua Sas..) dan boleh nampak gambar daun kat tepi2 tu psl kalau tak nampak gambar daun dia jadi kurang sedap. hahaha..kaitan.

susun atur juadah yg disediakan. Belon tu background tambahan yg memang dah ada kat atas meja. Biasa mcm2 pun ada, kekadang keretapi pun boleh ada atas meja jugak. Bunga tu pulak was bought for a dear friend who was admitted to the hospital, tp terpaksa bawak balik sebab undeng-undeng baru kat spital tu ckp tak boleh bwk bunga la pulak.. dowhhh.

ikan sea bass panggang dengan sambal kicap. yess... dah nama org melayu, kicap mmg tak leh tinggal. Kalu habis stok kicap kat sini, boleh kecoh jadinya. Begitulah, kicap dan melayu.. mmg tak boleh dipisahkan. hehehe..

ni ayam masak ala pakistan. Tak belajar ngan pakistan pun, tgk resepi kat internet jer. Boleh tahan gak sedapnya serta sangat senang nak dimasak. cepat dan sedap... just a right combination for a busy mummy like me... ecehhhh!

after 15 minutes and a sea bass later.... selesai semua. licin.

finishing touch; kopi spesel (bak kata suamiku le psl dia yg buat) with cream and toffee sauce. yummy... berkesan utk menambah lemak yg mmg dah sedia ada byk dan degil ni haaa... takpe, minum dulu, kemudian boleh menyesal. hahahaha....




ONE WEEKEND SEVERAL WEEKS AGO.......

pepagi bangun tido kakak bawak turun buku art attack dan mintak nak buat playdough..
owh..oh.. this could spell disaster



yess.... mari menyepahkan dapur ibu di pagi hari minggu sambil ibu buat breakfast. keluarkan tepung, garam, food coloring, besen, cookie mould dan sebagainya. Gunakan alas supaya lantai tak kena penyek dengan playdough dan ibu bertukar jadi singa. hahaha....

adik pun nak tunjuk skill jugak. Tu berapa kali pesan supaya tak lenyek dough tu atas lantai dan tak mixed up the dough.

akhirnya jadik jugak la shape yg dibuat setelah berapa kali kena alter ramuan dough pasal lembik sangat. Redai ibu punya tepung...

ZIONIS ITU...

ZIONIS YANG SANGAT JAHAT!

Scene 1.

me: kakak, I'm going to terminate SKY services soon. There'll be no more disney channel and nick junior.

kakak: why? I want to watch nick jr.

me: Bcoz the owner of SKY give money to bad people to kill muslim children in Palestine

kakak: ahhhhhh( reluctantly) , ok.



Scene 2.

kakak: ibu, can we go to Starbuck and have coffee?

me: ohh.. starbuck pun tak boleh pegi jugak dah. They also give money to that bad people who kill palestine children.

kakak: Starbuck too? what is wrong with those people?

me: yeah.. I know. There are lots of wrong things goin' now in this world. *sigh* (no more frapuccino..)


In between, I showed her those images of Palestinians children brutally murdered in the massacre. She seemed moved and understand why we start doing what we do now. After all, we should've done it long ago.


Scene 3.

kakak: I feel like eating Maggi, but I can't for 'that' reason. Its a pity, I like maggi very much.

me: I think I still have one pack of maggi in the kitchen. If its still there, you can have it.

kakak: So it will be the last one ever?

me: Yes. (I checked, lucky for her there is one more left in store. Cooked it, and she happily finished and enjoyed it. Pity my gal, she do LOVES maggi)


At least she do understand. Its important to make our kids understand, so that they'll know.. somewhere, anywhere... just because we share the same faith, we ARE brothers and sisters.




note: we try to do what we can. At least we're more alert of what we buy nowadays. I've read a report saying that it does make an impact. Alhamdulillah.

here comes 2009!

pahit getir hidup dan pengorbanan
terpaksa dihadapi demi kejayaan
terdidik sejak mula tabah berusaha
tanpa cuba melangkah tak kemana
dimana kau berada pencapaian tak tiba dengan mudah...




Dan tahun 2008 yg ditinggalkan...


Its 2009 now, full of hopes and dreams. I'm looking forward at 2009 with mixed feeling. There's a lot of things juggling in my mind but I'm positive everything is going to turn out fine. InshaAllah.

So many unnecessarily moves and wrong turns I've made thru' out 2008, but gosh! I learned a lot too. So this year, I'm listing my priority of what I have to do and hopefully it'll keep me on the right path and get me through...

Being tangled and twisted along this road full of obstacles, I finally get my mind clear of my inner self needs. I don't want to be like her, and I don't want to be like him and I don't ever want to be like them. I realized I just want to be me and what's important is not what you get but what you give.


This year, better start to shoot and make less dribble. This year, I want to be a better me in each and every way, to each and everyone possible.

So there it goes...my new year resolution. It may not seem big to you, but its huge to me. No, I was wrong... its not even huge, its humongous!



note:
1. better me should include a 'slimmer' me. hehehe...

2. Thank you Allah for all the oppportunity and blessing. Thank you mama and papa for all your love and support. Thank you abang for standing by me and always believe in me. Thank you shafiyyah and ajmal coz no matter what, both of you always say I'm the best mum in the world. Thank you to all those lovely people that I call friends. Thank you to my family and thank you to everyone who accepts me as part of their family. Thank you everybody who've touched my heart and my life so far. Thank you from the deepest depth of my very soul. Please keep on loving and supporting and believing me.

3. I pray that 2009 will bring the best out of us. InshaAllah.

4. owh! one more thing... In my modest calculation, I don't think I'll be able to finish my study this year. So please do me a favor by not asking whether I'm almost there, at least not until end of this year. Thank you. ( ok..ok.. some of you might wonder what the heck is this girl doing, still not finishing after 3 years. But I myself is bleeding inside just by typing this 4th note. )
