Embracing 2020.....


Happy New Year all.

We were in the last “teen” last year.....Year  twenty nineteen. Ini sudah masuk  tahun dua puluh dua puluh.....tak akan jumpa tahun “belas belas” lagi dah.


Tiap tahun mesti tanya.....Apa resolution tahun baru?

Mula tu banyak lah list...nak buat tu, nak improve ni, tak nak buat tu......

After few years.....Resolution?? Eh...nak habiskan last year resolution lah.....hahahahahha satu tahun resolution tak boleh capai....

Now, kalau tanya “Apa resolution”........nak jawab apa??

Tanya balik....”resolution tu apa?”.......(buat sakit hati adala kannnn)

Buat lah apa pun, resolution tak payah tunggu hujung/awal tahun lah kannnn.

We have to keep improving all the time bila saja kita realised kita tidak mencapai tahap yang sepatutnya.

Update blog adalah sangat tak best kalau tak boleh letak gambaq kannnnn.

Makcik frust sebab tak boleh update macam dulu dulu....sebabnya computer dah tak ada...

Dok update dari phone saja. Tak apalah, orang yang baca blog pun dah macam tak ada.

Update ni pun dengan harapan, blog ni masih hidup.....dapat lah juga baca balik entry lama2 yang jauh lebih interesting. Sesetengah blog  kawan2 mmg tak dapat tgk dah....blog dah block :))

Ramadan Kareem....




Dah masuk 13 hari kita berpuasa.................

Selamat berpuasa buat kita semua, moga amalan kita tahun ini lebih baik dari tahun yang terdahulu.

Moga Allah terima amalan kita & makbul doa, aamiin..



Puasa & bazar/pasar Ramadan, ringkasnya PARAM memang tak dapat dipisahkan.

Makcik dah tinggal 2 orang dengan pakcik, walau kadang nak masak, kebanyakan hari kita beli saja.

Pakcik punya favourite adalah soya bean gula hitam atau air tebu, jadi salah satu ni mestilah ada tiap hari....and bila dah pi nak beli minuman, harus lah tengok lain lain juga.

Jualan ni pun kena tengok2 juga.....biasa lah kan, tak semua masakan menepati cita rasa kita.


Selalunya, minggu pertama tu makanan kat Param, boleh tahan lagi, masuk minggu kedua, dah ada yang letak makanansemalamtakhabis-carryforward. Kadang tu sampai waktu berbuka dah tak elok,  pasti mengundang kecewa kan.

Nak letak gambar makanan pun tak ada....... tak letak gambar pun macam tak best kan...

Jadi makcik tayang lah trifle yang makcik buat sewaktu anak saudara makcik kawin beberapa tahun lalu.






Love

Haze is Jerubu.............



Perkataan yang paling di sebut sebut sekarang ini...............

Inilah kali pertama makcik dapat pengalaman haze yang teruk di Penang.

Kelmarin indexnya 180....pun rasa, mak aih...dah tinggi..kelabu sana sini

Bangun pagi ni....lagi tinggi!




Seberang Jaya  ............dan................Penang Island......


Tapi anak cakap kat KL kelmarin mencecah 299, sekitar dah nampak kuning....moga harini kurang sikit....take care....

Penggunaan Mask:


Di sedut mati mak, di hembus mati bapak............ni perumpamaan baru lah.......

Mana tak gitu, kita pakai mask nak elak tersedut asap jerubu......................

Dalam mask tu sendiri pun dok berperang juga........

Tak tau lah kot makcik silap, sebab lama sangat dah tak pi skolah..............

Selalu kita sedut (breathe in) oxygen dan hembus out carbon dioxide kan? Lebih kurang gitu lah kan sebab ada ja gas lain, nitrogen misalnya

Habeh kalau dok cekup idong tu......apa yang kita sedut dan apa yang kita hembus? 

Tolong sapa2 bagi pencerahan sat?? Atau makcik yang silap??




 Makcik: lemaih dalam nafas sendiri....



Kita tak boleh nak tolak takdir, hanya boleh berdoa moga "takdir" itu berkurangan skalanya, wallahualam......

Insaf......


Di waktu waktu begini, perasaan cepat tersentuh oleh status yang kita update di media, FB, IG.....

Jadinya kawal lah mulut, jari dan hati kita.....

Macam entry makcik sebelum ni.........

Tak suka nak basuh kain...............

Tapi sekarang, ada rakan2 kita di sana yang sedang basah bajunya, bukan di basuh tapi terendam dek banjir......

Semoga urusan kalian selepas banjir ini di permudahkan, di murahkan rezeki untuk bina semula apa yang hilang, aamiin

Wonderful days, trying period




Lama betul makcik tak update & lama tu juga makcik tak melawat sahabat maya.

Kenapa terjadi gitu ye?

Banyak faktor.........

- kadang tu memang kesuntukan masa.
- ada masa, tapi kadang tu otak ke lain (ronda satu dunia)
- otak kacau bilau (@ serabut), membuatkan bila you tengok screen pun, you actually looked thru it!

Itulah yang terjadi, semenjak dua menjak ni......terkejar sana sini..............

Almaklumlah orang penting kannnn..........kita punya hal sedia maklumlah kita pasti sibuk, pakcik punya activity pun kita kena masuk campur, MIL punya schedule pun kite tolong jaga, anak2 punya time-table pun kita kena ambik tau, hatta whenever they were out (of the house) pun, they still texted me to wake them up!

Whatever it is I LOVE doing all of the above. That makes live so wonderful.

Apa pun i want to put to memory, my recent 'jalan jalan che kiah',

Alkisahnya, planning dah lama tapi asyik tertangguh je.

I want to capture the wonderful moments, just like this one and this one


Date: Oct 06, 2011
Time: 9am
From: Penang
To: KL (Dekat saja tapi thrill macam nak pi Paris nunnn)
Mode of transport: Bus
How many che kiah : 3
Purpose: Saja get-together-away-from-home

Agenda: Asyik makannnn je. Tak percaya? Tengok ni.






Senyummmmm......click!



Say cheezeeeee (before a plate-full-of-taugeh arrive)




Tepanyaki....(see the amount of beansprout {taugeh} ?)




Had these ..........
tepanyaki wasn't even halfway down the stomach yet!




Walk, walk, look look...tak kan see saja kan? :=))
Lawa lagi mamat ni dari makcik..haishhh



Dinner....grilled lamb...yummy (image sourcing)





"exchanging-story" session before bed........
(tengok tu M Nasir pun gelak dengar kita sembang)


Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........................


Day 2:- Breakfast at the hotel (image source)

We took a taxi to the 'other' side of town. We made sure we didn't 'drop' while shopping!



Makan time! Lunch

Dessert!

Our 'dinner' -too full to have anything else....
Apple pie with ice-cream & carrot cake

Malam sebelum tidur pot pet pot pet lagi sambil minum kopi, makan cake, chocolate.....

It was the day after that, family makcik di berikan dugaan yang maha berat...........that i was unable to join the two che kiahs on the return journey..........

It was a very stressful few days.

Alhamdulillah, we managed to pull through.

Allah knows best.

Thank you che kiahs for the wonderful two days there and the many many days here.

“Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.”

nak makan apa?

son2: what's for lunch?

mak: masak cabai ikan....

son2: aaaallllaaaaa.......buatlah ayam ....

son1: mak what food we have down there?

mak: (same answer like above)

son1: tak pa, alip makan kat luaq lah. Len kali buat lah lamb

aiiyooo, that's my sons! They only have certain food that they fancy, if you cook otherwise...hm hm, you makan sendirilah.

That was saturday afternoon. Evening, we all went out, all 3 guys had a camera each with them, makcik lenggang kangkong jelah. On the way, fetched a niece & off we went. We stopped by at a 'talk-of-the-district' eatery; Laksa Janggus.
Located by the roadside along Kg Perlis in Balik Pulau, there were many people queuing up when we arrived.

The sign board. Laksa Janggus @ Kg Perlis, Balik Pulau

The Laksa; small @ RM1.20, big@ RM2.00.
The taste; I'm not a laksa kaki so no comment

The side order; Pisang Goreng, this is okay, cos i like it!

Adil (forefront), Alif, Troy16 & Nadiah setting up for sunset shooting


Sunday's:

Since Adil's going back to college later in the evening, i prepare his favorite dish for lunch.

The frequently made dish; Cili Chicken



Fried potato wedges


& troy16's mango pulut

Time flies......

Feel like 2010 is just few days old, BUT today is already the last friday of January 2010, how time flies....
My week 4 of January was busy with 3 days of catering....done, phewww...penat.

Yesterday, relax day, mengemas pun tidak, masak pun tak.

Encik troy16 took leave & we went to movie in the afternoon....(he he orang lain dah tengok berkurun dah ye tak?).

Encik, bila nak blanja tengok The Spy Next Door pulak? (:-)


AVATAR (google image)

Today, dok tunggu phone call nak gi fetch Adil kat jeti. He's coming home for the weekend.

Okay, have a wonderful weekend everyone! Love you all

Today is (sort of) leisure day

Macam tak buat apa2 walau buat kerja sikit

2010 - Resolution?

HAPPY NEW YEAR 

Every new year, we hear this word being mentioned- Resolution

Resolution: a firm decision to do or not to do something (from the dictionary)

So, have you got one?
For many of us, when young, we were beautiful, tall and slender....

just like a coffee pot
(google image)


Years later you realized - OMG!



you look like a tea pot! but still as beautiful :-)
(google image)


or.... 

dari lempeng......
(google image)

tetiba dah jadi lepat (he he teringat pulak kat dia)
(google image)
or worse still

from no belly...
(google image)


to jelly belly 
(some say its a sign of prosperity) 
(google image)


Most common resolution:
- i want to reduce weight
- i want to earn more 
- i want to look good

What ever it may be, do moderately. This, i am reminding myself as well...

- have regular checkup 
   because at this age, 'A' is not Apple anymore but Athritis. boleh juga     
   refer kat DrOnLine
- build up our inner peace

Inner peace (or peace of mind) refers to a state of being mentally or spiritually at peace, with enough knowledge and understanding to keep oneself strong in the face of discord or stress.

Being “at peace” is considered by many to be healthy (homeostasis) and the opposite of being stressed or anxious. Peace of mind is generally associated with bliss and happiness.

Peace of mind, serenity and calmness are descriptions of a disposition free from the effects of stress.

(extracted from here, thank you)
 
Let's hope we get closer to our Creator, God willing, Ameen.

Moga Allah perkenankan doa doa kita;  

...dikurniakan cahaya ketaqwaan & tetapkan iman

...di permudahkan perjalanan hidup..

di kurniakan kesihatan yang baik....

...di murahkan rezeki....

Minggu tak ada motivasi

Minggu ni memang not motivated at all! Why?

1. I had stories to tell, my network slow.

2. My network okay, my mood was not there

3. My mood okay, the pictures I had were blurred!

Phrggggh, tak kan nak kena bawak digital dah kot? Very bulky lah.

I really had problems taking pictures since I changed my handphone, higher pixel but somehow, the outcome was not there.

Maybe I am not good but howcome most of my photos last time (if not all) were okay?

Tak kan tangan dah mula menggigil...ooooo tension tension!

Waaaa, now i miss my sony

What I missed;
- two weddings last weekend.


Kenduri anak schoolmate kat Ipoh, pengantin dah tak tau kemana, pic shows the host (center) with some of our schoolmates.
The host/hostess were our school mates too (pic courtesy of troy16)




Kenduri sepupu kat Butterworth (pic courtesy of troy16)



ladies night out, one hand on the table, one hand snap photos..Perghhhhhh



Nak update blog pun ada problem, tak macam selalu......why ooo why??

Friday, December 25, 2009

do you feel the same?



Banyak benda nak cerita tapi macam 'not motivated' pulak.

have you ever felt like this before?

My one year blogging....
