Monologue: Berpada-pada

*saje bg entry sket..kosong nar space ni

All this while, in my time spent blogwalking around, surfing around, korek2 gossip around *eh..
saya faham seperkara mengenai dunia internet yg tak keterbatasan nih

There is a fine line between 'expressing happiness' and 'braggingness'..a so very thin fine line...

unless if that person is likeable and fofular..:) die brag pun org gelak2 suke
cube kalo org tu mmg stok tak disukai? 

Sekitar Ramadhan Syawal dan Walimah

Ramadhan

Life's not a rose garden

Conflicts are such an essential don’t you think? Of life?

It’s troubling, causes havoc, and meltdowns.. But without it one will never arises back

How did I deal with it?

Depends..

But sometimes I do feel that I have the ability to put ignorance at its best

And get the strength to make hard decisions in my life

By being a little ignorant..and stop being the nice person while letting myself get all the hard s**t..and stop thinking too much of what other ppl think (like i’ve always did in my younger years )

Only then did I manage to appreciate myself more..and make the call that is beneficial for me

I don’t know if that’s strength or simply ego

But my rule of thumb

Jadi kuat takpe asalkan jgn org meluat

Org meluat sape pun tanak kawan J ataupun pura2 kawan

This post is inspired from my non-work related activity on my last day of work before Raya Holiday..takde mood nk keja..maka stalking around and ‘terr’ambil tau life conflicts of meaningful people around me..

At this point of life, i think i can say, i appreciate the fact that I’m indeed ageing

It’s not something to be afraid of, but something to be celebrated

Bcos without it, I could never see the world from my perspective like today, could never gained as much experience like i have today, could never make decisions like I have nowadays..and to actually say something back about it..

To my friends and family

Salah silap ampun dipohon

Salam Lebaran

Semoga Allah melimpahkan keberkatan pada kita semua :)

p/s: I want to hold hands with Badrul Amri and grow old together 

What to do

What to do when you suddenly find yourself in the midst of haze
Adapt to it, find your way out, slowly at first but with increasing intensity
Ayat semangat untuk diri sndiri yg rase clueless di tmpt baru :P
So much to learn, so much to grab, so much to endure, so much to persevere

Allah takkan bebankan kita with anything we cant manage
So head up! I'll be fine..
This is the path i've chosen in my long career run
Yes, it is a sacrifice, but a sacrifice that will end up the way i planned my life to be InsyaAllah
Bertatih2 lama berlarila
kate nk jd specialist..heh

Dan PJJ ini rasa sweet..aww
Just got back from PG last weekend
Bawak Izz  (ke umminye?) gi jumpe Ayah

Dapat juge Izz tido di rumah Mak pengasuhnye satu malam
Sampai2 depan rumah, Izz dah cakap "Maakk"
Nampak2 A'a anak bongsu Maknye, Izz trus "A'aa"


A'a ckp dgn Maknya: "Mak, kalau kite bela Izz mahal ke murah??" 
sayangnye mereka kat Izz, terharu rasa

Lepas raya ni, Ayah dah tak kat PG dah
Ummi bawak Izz gi Lumut plak di hujung mggu melawat Ayah kalo die tak balik Shah Alam
hoho..boleh la bercuti2 Malesia skali

sabar ye hati
just for a few years
awal2 masuk industry OnG ni mmg dah tau that one day this kind of thing would happen
but i've my own plan
just follow it thru, InsyaAllah

*Teringat ayat yg Syazwan tampal kat bilik rumah sewa die di Mesir
         "Orang yang bersabar itu disayangi Tuhan   -Kirana"

selingan

ketika yg sgt perasan
ade waitress ckp kat izz, merujuk pada umminye

"mak ek mak ek? bukan kakak?"

bahagia ye saye..kakaka (adakah die ingat bad ialah bapak kitorg??)

arini nak main oven
updates shall be in the next entry
once a year event

...

Terguris

Larat ke Naza?

saya suke baca blog adik saye arini
time kasih abah
naza ni tak mcm adik2 yg mudah menunjukkan emosi dn pandai borak2 dgn abah
tp mungkin sbb naza ni sulung yg buat jd gitu
luaran keras, degil, garang
masa zaman rebel dulu pun sgt rebel
tp bile dah rasa jd parent sekarang
baru paham susah senangnye
dan rasa tak tertanding dgn abah mama lg
paham jugak yg buat naza jd keras gini sbb abah mama mase tu first time jd parent
masih dlm proses nak belajar jd ibu bapa
dah tentu ade trial and error
naza tgk bile makin ke adik2, abah mama dah semakin lama semakin lembut
makin boleh memahami cara nak handle anak2 yg tak boleh blah perangai ni masa waktu mmbesar
naza nampak jugak perubahan mama abah
abah mama yg dulunye garang, skarang makin lama makin lupus asapnye
plg ketara pada abah
asik jd pak lawak je skarang
kalo dulu jgn harap nk dpt abah melawak camtu
tah mane dtg skill melawak die tah, ttb je dapat
skarang bile kadang2 nak marah izz, asik pk balik je betul ke aku buat ni
tp kadang2 terlepas gak
camtula agaknye mama abah dulu besarkn kitorg 4 org
ni naza baru satu

dalam usia skarang ni, naza dah mule terpk2
sampai bile agaknye masa kitorg dgn abah mama
dulu kecik2, asik dengar atuk2 nenek2 org lain pegi mengadap Tuhan
skarang dah besar camni, asik dengar ayah2 mak2 org lain plak camtu
rasa sayu..tak berani nak pk jauh2
rase berat bahu ni bile pk jauh2
larat ke naza nak jaga adik2, mcm mama abah jaga?

tiramisu

i'm in my Giada de Laurentiis mode today

tempted to try an italian dish very well loved by..err..everybody?

so..back to basic

i love coffee

i love cheese

i love whipped cream

what more could i asked except for a plate of tiramisu then!!

scrumptiously divine

chomp chomp chomp

here's my 1st attemp on homemade tiramisu

and sooo easy it was

cant believe i never learned it earlier

thanks Sarah Hussain for inspiring, hehe

(though i know you disapprove my cheat..hohoho)

want to know how?

1. buat air nescafe (have it strong and sweet)

2.whip some whip cream + sugar (i whipped it until quite stiff)

3. whip some mascarpone cheese + vanilla essence. fold it in the whipped cream

4. dip some ladyfingers in the nescafe (ladyfingers ni biskut omputeh la, bentuk dia panjang2..ni yg saya tipu, psl saya guna biskut lutut..kuang kuang..malas la nak cari ladyfingers [sorry sarah]..nak tukar ngan plain butter cake pon boleh)

5. layer the ladyfingers into a serving dish, top with the cream mix, repeat the processes again

5. top with cocoa powder (nak best lg, use some shaved chocolate..yummy)

6. simpan dlm fridge kasi sejuk..pastu boleh makan tak hengat XD

tadaaa..easy eh? takyah masak2, takyah api2..

actually the whipped cream was also a cheat as the classic recipe calls for some beaten egg whites, but i was so horrified by the idea of eating raw eggs, i ditched it altogether

i know it looked messy..tp kalo en badang makan sampai speechless, siap bile dah habis tanye ade lg tak,then i'm more than satisfied XD

back to Giada, she's kind of someone i admire

a celebrity chef, a wifey, a mommy, a beauty

baru je kenal die ni semenjak dah ade channel Asian Food Network #706 kat astro [Giada at Home, Everyday Italian]

she's an italian-american, sbb tu lawa die bukan muke typical omputeh

passionate about food and cooking, siap dah beranak sorg,but manage to keep fit

nak jd camtu boleh??

tanak la contradict to my previous post kan..kate nak slim down..he

i'm still serious about it, and at the same time i cant restrain my love being with the pots and pans..and of coz my love of eating..haihhh.. :)

so for now, i have Giada as my inspiration hokeh..haha..for now

love you giada! (though many ppl dont for her sexy over the stove image..he)

Naza T?

Lg 2 more weeks is SDE (last) Annual Dinner
The theme is retro mengimbau kenangan 1983-2011 SDE started at 1983 btw
Apekah jadahnye aku nak pakai neh..83 tu pakai pampers kottt

Me and noni and sarah and farah pakat2
bincang punye bincang punye bincang gile serius bincang nak pakai ape je
we came out with an idea
Let's Hana Tajima!
oh..she is sooo IN right now..
what with her hijab, her outfits..her style is spreading now

Lately i've been playing around with shawls quite a bit tapi gi keja tak buat..not yet..malas kot..haha

my first source for inspiration was actually Maria Elena, the one who got me started fooling around making a cool mess on my head
Oh..if you dont know Maria..she's this famous blogger, very hillarious and outgoing
Only after her did I get to know Hana Tajima..a Japanesse+English mix, a rising British fashion designer, converted to Muslim at 17, sucessful businesswoman, a model as well..she's really something
And there are many others too..there's this club called scarflets for them (nak join boleh??)
I felt quite drawn to their freestyle yet sophisticated ways in 'wrapping' heads haha
Lagipun shawl sgt murah banding tudung2 awning bagai nih..so lagi la poket saya suke
There are no specific rules..you just need a lot of confidence (bcoz people will be staring, definitely)
So..kite tgk jela dinner nnti cemane
Dapat tak saye menjadi Naza T? (konon2 Naza Tajima..bweeekkk)

iklan:

Ummi: (Dukung Izz masuk bilik air..nak mandikan dia)

Izz:      "Tuu..tuu..tuuu" (sambil tunjuk kat plastic mug kat dapur..die mmg suke nak mandi guna mug tu)

Ummi: "Jap2..Ummi ambik" (Pegi amik)

Ummi: "Nah" (Bagi kat Izz)

Izz:     "Andaiiiiiiiii!"

Ummi pulak yg pandai..sape yg mak ni?

camno nak buek

12.07pm Sunday
Izz: (dah mandi dn bergelimpangan kat lantai tengok tv)
Abg: (tak mandi lagi dn sedang melipat kain..THANK GOD..saya paling TAK SUKA lipat kain)
Saya: (sama tak mandi lagi dn main intenet..oh bagusnye akhlak)

feeling like cracking something in the pot..

p/s: bos baru called last friday..asking me to start work a month earlier..meaning from 3 month notice to 2..camano nak cite kat ODK (org dalam kaca aka Mr K my current boss)..hmmm..camno nak buek
