Oh Man, Time Do Fly FAST!!!!

Ya ampun time do fly fast, too fast.......dah nak end of 2009. Argh.......dah tua dah but masih cun tau....

K what i have achieved this year, hmph let me see.....me getting wiser? Yup, me getting thinner? Definitely! me getting more money? I hope so...... kalau my boss did not see the work i have been doing so far and tak give me my due increment, i akan berontak......well that's it, huh quite boring kan... i did not do or achieved much this year. Day in, day out doing the same old thing, quite monotonous, apa nak buat 1st being a wife, then mother then daughter in law who has to look after 2 old folks and not forgetting being a sister in law too. So naturally lah tak banyak sangat excitement, lain lah kalau i masih swinging single sure happening kan but itu pun blum tau sebab my family quite strict, i don't have much freedom when i was single dulu tak mcm budak-budak skg ada chance nak merambu and party all night long. As for me kalau nak kluar during weekend nak kena siapkan rumah i dulu i.e pergi pasar, kemas, basuh, gosok and not forgetting masak. By the time all doing all these chores i sure lepak, penat and malas nak keluar. K i dah swerve topic dah.

Oh ya my little princess is going to start her nursery class next Monday, excited sangat-sangat. Uniform dah beli and dah siap gosok, beg, kasut and water bottle pun dah siap. Infact semua lah what ever is needed for her school. Hai cepat nya anak i besar, dah start nursery and before i knew it primary school, oh no.... i belum cukup enjoy her childhood, she is so damn cute now and chatter box and she is the most funniest person that i ever met without her knowing it. I luv being a mum and i cannot imagine what my life without my little princess......

One More Soccer Ball

Did i forget to mention that my little princess now own one more set of soccer jersey, so now she has three colour under her belt, purple, green and red. The third jersey that we got her when we were at Queensway SC collecting my mak metua nya glasses and pass by the sports shop that we bought her green colour jersey and apalagi my little princess saw the shop and terus wants the red colour jersey, babah i want the red colour soccer ball, please.... (soccer ball tu makna nya refer to the soccer jersey) and other colour wont do, tetap nak red juga. Coincidentally both the green and red colour are from the same team jersey, Liverpool. Well my girl bukan nya tau sal all the soccer team, what she wants is the colour. I tampalkan gambar anak i wearing her full gear soccer jersey but the irony is bukan nya dia ikut her babah to the field to play soccer but we are having our breakfast.



Betul tak the full gear siap ngan sock and shoes skali but ops!! sori paci tak leh lepas........

Upin & Ipin

Hai semenjak dua menjak ni my little princess is crazy over Upin & Ipin. Ya i know is a little too late for her to find out in regards to these two cartoon character. My little princess favourite cartoon character are Mickey, Pooh, Bob the Builder, Thomas, Tom & Jerry and not forgetting Strawberry Shortcake. She does watch other cartoon programme but yang i mention is her most favourite. But about 2 weeks ago my mak metua say that my darling came across the cartoon Upin & Ipin by accident and she luv it and hari-hari she will ask my mother in law to on channel 33.

Last Sunday on the way to my sisters place at CCK kita terserempak kedai cd and they sell Upin & Ipin dvd. The thing is when they show it on tv is in English which my girl understand very well but the dvd is in Malay which my girl tak faham sangat. Both my DH and I speak english to my little girl and both my inlaws speaks malay but my princess is more converse in english rather than malay, i bukan nak show off eh cause its the same for me too, i am more converse and fluent in english rather than malay sebab both my arwah parents are javanese so at home my 1st language is javanese. My family usually speaks javenese to my parent and english with each other. Ok i dah swerve topic dah, ok back to my princess so when i on upin & ipin dvd my princess keep on asking me ibu what is he saying, what does that mean, ibu i dont understand, ler i've got to explain to her what is the story all about, nasib baik i beli cuma 1 kalau 2 or 3 abis i have to spent an hour just to explain to her what is it all about. But now since my little princess dah faham jalan citer nya, she insist on watching it everyday and for the past 1 week i have been feeding her dinner in front of the telly watching U&I sampai kan i dah hafal the dialog.

Now that she in the U&I phase so naturally she ask me ibu can i buy U&I bag and i pun tanya lah my princess why do u want to buy U&I bag and her answer is they are so cute and botak. Ai my girl ni betul lah! bila crazy strawberry shortcake semua barang2 shortcake dia nak and now ngah crazy U&I semua barang U&I dia nak, seram juga i ni baru cartoon craze memorabilia so when she is older oh no i don't even want to think about it.................

Back To Basic

Well its been a more than 2 weeks my DH without having his car, did i forget to mention that my DH car was hit and not on the street mind you, it got hit at the carpark while our car is stationary. Yah at the carpark pun boleh kena langgar. Apparently the driver of the other car black out and she losses control of her car and wham she hit our car and not only ours but 2 more car. Well its a freak accident and my DH car was a total wreck and he has to call the tow truck to sent his car to C&C for repair and he will be claiming against the other driver insurance and thank goodness the driver and her family is a responsible people, they left a note on our car and when we were at the carpark ready to go out, they were there and they apologise profusely dah kata accident kan so nak marah or nangis pun tak guna so take it je lah.

But without the car my DH yang frustrated cause his job take him all over. It is so inconvient when he has to go out to site and he has to take the public transport and he has not been taking the public transport to work since 1990! dulu he ride but bila kita ada anak he drive and can you imagine dah more than 10 years tak naik public transport macam-macam lah my DH complain. Within 2 days span he has taken the north east west line train, thus the title of my entry tonight, back to basic.

Last saturday my little princess is enjoying herself taking the mrt and then dia nak naik double decker bus wow dia yang enjoy kita yang penat. My DH says the earliest the car will be ready this coming Friday and not only my DH been complaining, apparently my mak metua pun complain juga sebab ari ni kita go for jemputan jalan kaki and lepas tu baru naik bas. Nasib baik lah the wedding invitation dekat ngan rumah i, its within walking distance je but my mak metua ni dah manja sangat dah biasa ada keta and tak yah nak jalan jauh2 so ari kena jalan dah start complaining. Baru 2 minggu tak ada keta mcm dah mati kutu pulak my family mcm mana ni eh!!!!

Home

Finally me mengupdate my blog from home! My DH finally bought me a notebook for my personal use last saturday fm Sitec. Alah yang murah je not yang canggih nya asal kan i dpt do all my personal stuff and most important thing dapat log in to the internet, ha itu yang paling penting skali and furthermore i bukan nya IT savy person, IT idiot adalah. Itupun lepas je beli my DH yang set everything up, like charging it and download all the software for me to use.

I think the reason he bought my own personal notebook its because it can keep me occupy. Yelah metua i kan tinggal ngan i so cabaran nya is really big and great. Misalnya i dah tak leh nak tonton my favourite show anymore, the tv is control by my mak metua unless i got something in common to watch with her but her favourite show its all the cinetron and i betul tak minat nak tonton all the sinetron no patience, so i am left with the tv inside the room without the cable connection and the choice is limited but i lantak je lah tengok apa-apa on show just to keep me occupy after i put my little princess to sleep. Kekadang i boring and rasa bingit juga i terperuk dlm bilik and kalau ada misunderstanding ngan my mak metua i rasa hish, tak tau mcm mana nak lepas kan perasaan i.

But now things has finally changed for eg ari ni! ni sekarang ni angin apa dah melanda mak metua i, tadi ok-ok je but when i bring my little princess out to do her normal ritual to kiss her grandparents goodnight muka mak metua i dah ronyok, even cium anak i pun nak tak nak. Lah apa kena ngan org tua ni, penat tau nak ikut rentak dia. I dah malas nak layan, i bring my girl into the room, put her to sleep then masuk dapur jap buat apa yang patut pas tu amik my notebook masuk bilik, ha hati pun senang, tak payah nak crack my brains out wondering what's happening! Dpt juga i luahkan isi hati i ni and it does make me feel better! I tak nak derhaka towards my inlaws that is why i choose to remain silent but keeping silent can be depressing sometimes. So many times i've been asking myself have i done enough? tak cukup ke apa yang i dah buat selama ini and i pun kekadang terfikir juga not even my own sister in law, isteri kepada my brothers did what i did towards my in-laws. I have gone the extra mile to do everything for them but still! entah lah maybe sampai akhir hayat i pun i will never be able to achieve that. What i know ALLAH tak akan menguji umat nya lebih dari kemampuan umat nya so i pasrah dan redha, ini sudah ketentuan dari DIA, siapa lah I untuk mengtidaknya.

Thanks dear for giving me this gift, it helps to keep my sanity at bay, luv ya a lot muacks!! Ok lah mata pun dah rasa ngantuk dah nak bobok ni. Jumpa lagi fm my home...........

Model in the Making

Wah hari ini hati I banyak senang, muka ada senyum, keje semua dah beres and kepala tak sakit and otak tak stress sangat. Betara guru 1 hari tak ada sebab besok exam so dia sibuk belajar, huh that is why lah i boleh log in and mengupdate my entry.

Why title model in the making!! hmph my little princess now suka betul bergaya kalau nak amik gambar dia and looking at her really make me smile and rasa nya mcm nak peluk and peluk and cium and cium my princess and i wish i could just freeze her and not letting her grow up cause she is just so cute.......... and i luv arguing with her. At this moment she is crazy over soccer and i bought her a jersey yang murah lah from pasar malam and that jersey pantang kering she would want to put it on so last Friday i told her pumpkin you are a girl, little girl put on pretty dresses, why do you have to put on soccer jersey and her reply ibu i play soccer u don't. I tak tau whether i nak ketawa or carry on the argument but i was flabbergasted sekejap, damn!! she is smart just like me, he, he, he. Anyway semalam my DH went all the way to buy my little princess an original soccer jersey, his point kalau my DH can spent almost $200 buying a soccer boots why must his daughter put jersey yang murah even though she does not understand the game, jgn ckp my little princess, I yg dah tua gini pun tak faham anything regarding soccer. So here it is, i tayangkan gambar my little princess wearing her new Liverpool jersey.



Huh tengok tu, anak i menang gaya je....... but cute kan

The following pictures pulak taken on last Saturday at Toy R Us Vivo





The minute she step out from Toy R Us immediately she told her father babah take picture bah thus the pictures above.

One Year Older

Ya ampun i am one year older today, oh, oh but happy lah dpt hadiah from DH one new suit i.e pants and blouse maklum lah badan dah langsing, perasan kan!! and not forgetting my new hp.... Samsung OMNIA II, yeah....... dpt je hp canggih tapi nak gunakan terkial-kial..... he, he, he menang gaya........ my DH pun dah lama tak belikan i expansive gifts and i pun tak mengharap or asking for it, for me i am blessed and terima kasih apa yang i ada sekarang ni, bersyukur sangat2. Apa yang nak, my DH and anak i sentiasa sihat and they are both happy to be with me as i am with them. I cannot imagine my life without them and also i doa i sentiasa di berikan kesihatan dan keimanan, Amin........... What more could i ask! ops i forgot mak metua i pun belikan i baju, its a dress and this saturday ada jemputan boleh i bergaya ngan my new dress......

Its been quite a while i bought anything new for myself tak kira lah baju ke, kasut ke or anything lah sebab skg kalau biasa nya i kluar i lebihkan anak i, baju dia, kasut dia, beg dia and not forgetting her toys etc, etc. Well i guess being a mum, yr child needs comes first. I am back to being very basic dah tak melawa mcm dulu. Tapi i tak lah sloppy sangat ada juga the days that i melawa but at a minimal lah. Huh kalau dulu bila u buka my wardrobe phew yo baju i pack giler sampaikan 2 almari beb and shoes and bags jgn ckp but now dah kurang a lot!! i gave away a lot of clothes, shoes and bags when i move to my new flat buat apa kan baju banyak tapi tak pakai and further more a lot of clothes i dah tak leh muat longgar sangat2. Sekarang kalau u open up my walk in wardrobe sederhana je and i tak complaint to my DH lagi dear baju i dah abis!!! Yes that i my favourite phrase dulu but not now. Cukup lah i dah puas bergaya and dah puas shopping, i wont blink my eye when i spent $300 on a pair of shoes but now jgn ckp $300, $30 pun i tak kan beli bukan pelokek tapi with that money i can spent wisely on my daughter like for eg this morning, my princess wants me to buy for her strawberry. Kalau i beli the normal strawberry from the fruit shop its a bit sourish but kalau i beli Korean strawberry it is sweet and very the nice tapi harga dia pun very the nice so i was thinking kalau i beli $30 shoes for me buat apa kan yah its for my feet but kalau i spent the money on my little girl kan lagi worth it. So now my little princess comes 1st what ever she wants i akan ada kan but ikut lah kemampuan I juga and also not forgetting i have to save up for her future education.

My DH share the same sentiment as I and he is working very hard to save up for our next year holiday destination, InsyaAllah if ALLAH permits. My little princess have been bugging her babah to see snow and we have promise her we will bring her to see snow. The destination blum tau lagi where are we going but tengok lah brapa we have save. Ini cuma perancangan je kalau tak ada arah melintang we will go either middle of the year or year end.

Adoi dah kul 11 seh, have to go back doing my work now, ta-ta, ti-ti, tu-tu..........

Ops

Ops its been quite awhile since i last update my blog sebab lately my keje really belambak and betara guru nya mood betul nya bad, going thru menopause kot! he, he, he. Anyway I am suppose to upload my princess birthday photos up but unfortunately my DH blum lagi download all the photos (sigh!!) Entah bila lah my DH will upload the photos. Anyway it was a special day for us and me dah nak meleleh air mata terasa mcm terharu gitu bila tengok anak i celebrating her birthday with all her friends and rasa nya mcm baru smlm anak i lahir and suddenly she is 3 already and she is a chatter box. Seeing her now i feel that what ever sins or wrong doing that i have done has all been forgiven cause i am blessed to have the most beautiful little girl, yelah i might be bias a little bit cause there is so many other little girl out there who is beautiful but to me, my little princess is numero uno.

Ok lah tak leh banyak celoteh, ni pun curi2 update my blog, sementara betara guru belum masuk lagi. I upload latest pictures of my darling aspiring to be a model and she is into princess phase now. Pardon me kalau the pictures tak lah se-clear taking with a good camera but i think its ok lah.

Who Am I

Ya ampun dah 12 hari dah kita menyambut hari raya and dah lama benor i mengupdate my blog bukan tak nak update but terlalu bz and penat pun ye. Daripada malam raya sampai kan lah skg my sesi masak memasak belum abis lagi.

Hmph why does my title for my entry kali ini asking myself who am I??? I sendiri pun dah tak tau. I dont know why lately i just feel so depress, i just don't know who am i anymore.......I got no one to turn too, nak talk to my sisters nanti they misunderstood me and i don't want them to get worried unnecessary sebab they have their own problem to think off tak kan lah i nak menambahkan my misery to them. Nak ckp ngan kekawan i don't know whether are they going to be my listening ear and shoulder to cry on or they end up giving me wrong advice. My relationship with my mak metua is doing ok sampai kan lah i dah tak terlarat nak melayan dia. She insist doing things her way and me nak tak nak nak kena ikut kan sometimes i wish i could tell her please mak give me a break, i am very tired i need rest, i need sleep and i need time on my own too, i need my own space but how to tell her this when she is super sensitive so by the end of the day i pedamkan all my misery inside me.

As for my little princess, ya ampun she has been little tyrant lately, she refuse to listen to me and throwing tantrum unnecessary and testing my patience to the full limit and my mak metua does not help cause everytime my girl cry she will straight away carry my girl and start telling me to stop scolding my little girl, hai sedih rasanya when i can't even discipline my little girl. My mak metua thinks that i scold my little girl just for the sake of scolding, why must i do that! i have to discipline my little girl cause i am scared that she is going to turn out spoilt little brat. This frustration adds on to my misery feeling, sigh!!!

As for me and DH entahlah lately i feel that we did not communicate enough, every time i open my mouth to talk or discuss something with him, he ends up shouting or screaming at me and me end up shutting myself out and feeling more depress (am crying now) where do i go wrong, i keep on asking myself, may be i have not done enough! so how do i know what i have done is enough. Bila orang tengok i they will think i have nothing to worry about cause i am always smiling and laughing but the real fact deep down inside i rasa macam dah nak meletup, if only i could just pack my girl and just run, run somewhere i dont know where but just somewhere i can breathe and tak rasa suffocate and i can be myself again. I know its impossible cause i got responsibility and i just can't run away but ya ALLAH help me every sujud and every doa i mintak i diperbanyakan and pertebalkan kesabaran i and to give me strength and help me thru, InsyaALLAH with izin DIA i akan kuatkan semangat......................

27th Day of Ramadan

Ya ampun lama benor i mengupdate my blog bukan dah lupa cuma sibuk and the most valid reason is i terlalu lah ngantuk sangat2 tak larat nak mengetuk my keyboard kalau ada free time or bila my boss tak ada kak opis i terus tangkap sur........or u can call it zzzzz..........

Ok untuk persiapan hari raya semua dah beres. I dah beli baju kurung sepasang dah ngan anak i and my DH finally got himself a new baju kurung too after 2 years of not buying a new one sebab nak kan sama colour and my DH says that from this year onwards my little princess will have the liberty to choose the colour and bila we ask her what colour baju does she wants and definitely lah she says green colour. My mil this year beli kan i sepasang baju kurung too and its blue in colour so i belikan my little princess one more baju to padan kan ngan baju kurung i but end up i belikan my little princess baju kebaya and she look so.........cute and pretty. Yah i might be bias cause dari pandangan mata i anak i adalah baby yang paling cute and cantik. Tunggu eh nanti i tangkap gambo my little princess pakai kebaya and i upload gambor dia nanti, mesti cun nya.

As for biskut raya pun dah siap dibuat. Hai kalau nak ikutkan rentak mak metua i masih tak cukup lah biskut yang dah dibuat, let me count i think i dah buat about 8 types of biskut and semua ikut resipi mak metua i. Memang lah i lebih cenderung dibidang masak memasak and not baking but mak metua i ingat i ni betul nya clueless about baking in actual fact not sebab i dulu selalu juga tolong my sis bake and she bake the best marble cake ever, it is so soft and gebu, phew meleleh air liur i thinking about it. Ok back to the topic, so bila dia arah2 kan suruh buat ini, itu and cara dia explaining things to me mcm i ni betul nya budak bongok but i tak kuasa lah kan i dengar je lah and ikut kan rentak dia nanti kalau kita tegur merajuk and terus tak nak cakap hah kan lagi susah. Semalam mlm i dah officially switch off my oven dah tamat dah acara baking membaking. I dah buat 2 kek lapis and kek roll cukup lah tu. Mak metua i kalau my coffee table tu kalau tak penuh dia tak akan puas hati. Biskut 8 mcm, kek 3 mcm tak termasuk kerepek2 and kekacang yang i dah beli which mak metua i yang nak.

Besok i dah mula cuti and i nak kena gi pasar very early in the morning and malam ni pulak i dah nak kena start masak kuah ayam kelauk, i malas betul nak masak tapi my DH kata kalau tak ada lauk ni tak sah hari raya sebab dah 10 years kita celebrate together kan and i have never once tak masak and on top of it my kak long ada permintaan yang mak metua which happens to be my aunty, dia nak sangat makan lauk ni so kesian kan org tua kalau dah mintak mesti lah nak kena tunaikan. Hai tak tau lah kul brapa i tido malam ni sebab nak siap kan kuah ayam kan. I think kan 1st day hari raya i sure lepak sebab penat. Lepas raya ni i think i nak amik cuti ah pas tu gi overhaul baban (urut).

Ok lah tak leh nak berceloteh panjang nak abis kan keje i dulu sebelum i gi cuti, i will be back at the office on Wednesday. Cioa for now.

Oh ya i lupa untuk sesiapa je lah yang tersesat termasuk ke blog i or sesiapa je yang mengenali diri i, I ingin menghulur 10 jari memohon ampun dan maaf kalau i tersilap bahasa sewaktu menaip luahan hati i dan I ucapkan SELAMAT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI..........................

12th Day of Ramadan

Alhamdullilah dah 12 hari dah kita ber puasa and syukur juga i masih sihat untuk menjalani nya and hopefully jiwa i akan terus tenang dan dipertebalkan kesabaran i untuk mejalani kehidupan seharian i.

This year I akan sambut syawal dengan sederhana je, we did not buy anything new or redo our house. Financially i nak tebalkan my saving dulu sebab dah digunakan for my mak metua nya operation, that is more important. In deciding not redoing our house its because my princess is still very young and kalau i paint my house cantik pun sekarang nanti sebelum hari raya abis dah kena conteng ngan my girl. My DH gives her the freedom in writing all over the walls, which this part i tak agree but my DH does not want to stop her creativity. Bertekak mcm mana pun i akan kalah so what i can do is minimise it by buying the washable coloured pen and paint so i just have to wash my walls.

So far i belum beli baju or kasut raya but i dah siapkan baju anak i, 1 dress, i jeans and 1 sandals from GAP and 2 blouse, 1 legging and 1 dress from Zara. Phew not bad eh anak i ni, mak dia sendiri dont own a Zara or GAP nya baju but for my princess anything and i dah belanjakan abt 300+ for her. Maybe this saturday will drop by sekejap at geylang nak tengok baju kurung pulak and will try to get 1 pasang for myself and DH and not forgetting for little princess also. She has requested a green colour baju kurung so my DH dah sound kita ikut her colour preference.

6th Day of Ramadan

Alhamdullilah pejam celik pejam celik dah 6 hari dah kita berpuasa and Alhamdullilah juga dapat juga i mengaji setiap malam lepas anak i tido. My day start from 4 am, bangun siapkan sahur pas tu lelap mata jap. Bangun lagi 5.45 am sholat subuh, bersihkan rumah and masakan untuk anak i dan siap untuk ke kerja. Along the way to work i will lelap kejap in the car kesian juga my DH dia nak berbual i sibuk membuta, sorry got no choice sebab ngatuk sangat2 kalau tak lelap nanti sampai opis mcm zombie. Leave office at 5pm sampai rumah abt 5.50pm, sholat asar dulu pas tu i dah mcm octopus in the kitchen, i siapkan juadah buka dulu lepas sholat maghrib baru lah i masak untuk my family for dinner and sahur. Will finally go to sleep around 11.30 the earliest.

Kalau nak dikira i will get only abt 5hr of sleep everyday sebab itu kekadang i blur like sotong sebab ngantuk sangat2. In fact dulu sebelum puasa pun sama i got about 5 to 6hrs of sleep every night cuma kalau tak puasa i boleh makan and minum to keep me awake kan so for bulan puasa ni i will take every opportunity untuk lelap kan mata, like the car ride sekejap pun jadi lah and also my lunch hour, phew sedap dapat tido 1 jam, kak rumah pun susah beb i nak tido 1 jam sebab nak kena layan anak i bila dia tido i nak kena sibuk buat keje rumah.

On tuesday i masak macaroni goreng untuk buka and semalam bubur ayam and again i tak sempat nak tangkap gambo lagi but today i suggest to my DH to bring both my in-laws and kita buka kak luar since we have to go out tonight untuk beli susu anak i might else well kita buka kak luar sekali and tempat berbuka Al-Azhar my pak metua all time favourite place to makan kalau tempat lain dia akan banyak complaint. Ok got to go now, chiow.....

4th Day of Ramadan

Alhamdullilah dah 4 hari kita menjalani ibadah puasa and rasa ngantuk memang terasa sekali especially semalam, ya ampun kepala i betul nya berdenyut tak leh tahan and ngantuk semacam. My headache i think its caused by caffeine withdrawal dah biasa kan every morning 1 cup of tea and afternoon 1 cup of coffee pulak sebab tu lah my body react to the withdrawal symptom. Hopefully ari ni i will feel ok so far so good lah but anyway baru kul 10 pagi.

Untuk hari pertama sahur i masak lauk yang paling simple that i can think off, goreng sardin ngan telur dadar as for buka i masak mee soto permintaan from my pak metua and i masak lauk kicap ayam for both dinner and sahur. My DH and now my daughter pun dah terikut tekak babah dia is a rice person so kalau i masak mee or anything other than rice, i mesti juga nak kena masak nasi and lauk. I masak both the kuah soto and lauk ayam quite early by 1pm dah siap i masak sebab mak metua i dah request to bring her to the bank and nak amik her cermin mata that is why lah i nak kena cook early so kalau balik terlambat i dah siap masak cuma nak tinggal rebus kan mee and taugeh. Nasib baik lah i ikut firasat i and true enough kita sampai rumah just nice dah nak berbuka nasib baik pak metua i kak rumah so he helped to rebus mee & taugeh, sampai rumah i realize dpt 2 kunjungan frm my jiran bawah give me bee hoon soto and also my girl nya classmate parent bagi lauk sambal goreng, wah nak kena masak lebih ni so i boleh balas kunjungan my neighbour. So on sunday i masak nasi jagung, ayam masak merah and dalca sayur and like saturday i dah siap masak by 4pm and this time around my DH nak ajak gi bazaar ramadan at Jurong West, punya lah crowded and did not manage to buy anything sebab nak kena q and i tak kuasa lah nak q panjang2, lain kali boleh return.

Sayang pulak eh i tak sempat nak tangkap gambo my masakan sebab bila balik je dah nak dekat time berbuka and kelam kabut nak hidang. Semalam i balik kul 5 and sampai rumah almost six, mak metua i dah masakkan lauk ayam and tinggal goreng mee je, ari ni pulak i dah pesan pak metua to buy for me fishcake and mix vege untuk goreng macaroni and lauk my mak metua pesan kalau sempat dia masak kalau tidak i masak malam je, dah kira alright lah tu, i siapkan juadah buka dulu masak kemudian.

Ok lah nak go back doing my work, hai dah tangkap dah rasa ngantuk, tak pe nanti lunch time membuta kejap.

Bulan Puasa Bulan Mulia

Alhamdullilah datang lagi bulan yang mulia, bulan Ramadan, sempena menyambut bulan yang rahmat ini Selamat Menyambut Bulan Puasa semoga ibadah kita dirahmati dan dapat barakah from ALLAH Subahanawatallah, Amin.

Untuk this whole month stretch, i akan pulang awal and that is 5.00pm untuk menyiapkan juadah untuk berbuka, tapi kena juga potong my annual leave tapi tak kisah lah kan, kalau tidak kesian mak metua i yang nak kena masak. Untuk my family i tak perlu sibuk2 untuk buat kuih atau manisan bila berbuka, i hanya perlu masak seperti biasa nasi, lauk dan sayur dah cukup lah tu, memadai and i will cook lebih sikit untuk di buat makan sahur pulak.

I memang lazim tak makan sahur, i hanya makan 3 biji kurma dan segelas air but i still need to prepare untuk both mertua i, my DH and of course anak dara yang sorang lagi kak rumah. Ok lah kita jumpa lagi di bulan Ramadan. Bye for now.

I'm BACK!!!!

Wow i'm back in the office after being away from the office for the whole week stretch. I fell sick last week so dpt mc seminggu duduk rumah berehat and tido sepuas-puas nya. Dah seminggu mc suddenly otak mcm buntu pulak, mcm dah kekeringan idea untuk menulis agaknya due to my high fever tak suddenly my brain function dah berkurangan. Nak start gear buat keje opis pun mcm lembap sikit tak mcm selalu. My friend been asking me what happen? is it because of H1N1, no its not its viral fever and i got the worse attack ever................. Your whole body, i mean whole body aching and your head feel like its going to explode. Tido salah, duduk salah mcm tak kena semua so what i did was take the medicine and it made me drowsy terus tido. I have never, memang betul never experience this kind of fever before and last week nya bout betul nya teruk even after the fever gone tapi rasa sakit dibadan still lingers kesian anak i, she herself was having fever but i tak dapat nak layan princess i sorang ni fully sebab i sendiri dah tak larat nak layan kerenah anak i so mak metua i yang layan dia and its a good thing that we both fall sick at the same time at least i don't have to worry anak i jangkit i kan.

Bila i duduk fikir why suddenly i fall sick teruk sekali, i think its because i dont have enough rest, yes i think its true. Ever since mak metua nya eye operation, semua keje rumah i yang kena uruskan, i will sleep around 11.00 that is the earliest and i woke abt 5.45am and on top of that office work, i betul nya stress and penat but bila i complaint to my DH masuk telinga kiri keluar telinga kanan so what can i do just endure, endure punya endure my body breakdown. Nasib baik cuma fever je kalau kena yang lagi teruk than this, how?? my top priority is my baby girl who is going to look after her?? From now on i think i have to take it easy but how kalau i tak buat keje sapa nak gi buat keje rumah, kalau i tak masak sapa nak gi masak. When i was lying on my bed wreck with fever baju anak i tak ada org nak tolong basuhkan so bila dah 3 hari baju anak i dah berlonggok nak tak nak i kuatkan badan bangun and basuh sendiri, mak metua cuma concern baju my sil je kalau yang lain buat bodoh sudah!!

Nasib baik lah on monday bila i balik from the clinic after sending my girl i masak lauk kicap ayam lebih sikit sebab ada belen lauk so on tuesday makan lauk yang sama, mak metua i tak sibuk2 nak masak lagi even though i sakit lepak atas katil and my girl pun sama at least kalau tak nak masakan i, masak lah untuk anak i but what can i say padahal bila my sil yang sakit last saturday balik je from clinic kelam kabut dia masak takut anak kesayang dia nanti bangun nak makan tak ada lauk. On wednesday my mak metua finally cook and guess what she cook, lauk kari ayam mana lah i boleh makan dengan tekak i sakit, nak telan air liuh dah sakit apakan lagi spicy food, anyway i pun tak ada selera nak makan so dua hari i tak makan, i cuma minum milo and makan roti sekeping dua je.

On thursday badan i rasa ringan sikit so dpt lah i cuci pakaian anak i and masak sendiri sop ayam so dpt juga my girl makan proper meal as for my DH dia tak makan lauk sop so dia beli murtabak ayam and bila tengok my DH makan murtabak kesian pulak tengok dia dah berapa hari tak makan proper home cooked meal so on friday i masuk juga dapur untuk masak tapi i masak slow giler tak macam selalu. Kalau selalunya it take me abt 1hr to prepare tapi last friday it took me 2 hrs to prepare a this simple meal.

Sticky caramel chicken wings, sayur buncis goreng and tahu goreng.

I sendiri pun tak tau mcm mana rasa nya, sedap ke tidak sebab i punya taste bud dah go hay wired. Bila i tanya my DH dia cuma kata ok je but my mak metua macam tak lalu je makan, alah tak kisah lah janji i masak and my DH dapat makan proper home cooked meal when he come home from work. Saturday pulak i masak rendang ayam kering ala org Johor yang guna rempah kari, cili padi, haruman and kerisik but i tak guna kerisik sebab tak ada.

Rendang Ayam Kering

Rasanya sedap but pedas.......mak metua i suka and her comment is kurang kan cili padi kalau masak sebab pedas sangat. Ai boleh tahan juga eh i, kering idea tapi banyak juga i dah berceloteh. Ok lah nak go back to my work, slowly but surely.............

Satu minggu beb dia duduk kak opis, which is very rare sebab he got a new Vietnam project which require him to do a lot of analysis, that is why lah dia duduk bertapa kak dalam.

Mata ngah mengantuk gila sebab tadi my opis ada lunch, everybody is asking is it because of national day, i pun jawab entah i pun tak tau because all these years that i am working in this office tak pernah umur kita ada national day lunch but this year boleh ada pulak. Agak nya my main director, dr yang diatas tu mood dia baik sikit kot nak belanja makan for all staff, ai dah dpt makan free lantak je ler.............

Ok lah nak log out already takut tup-tup timbul je org tua tu, its going to be a long weekend, so for no plan but knowing my DH nanti ada je idea crop out, will update next week hopefully but first i must chase my boss out dulu baru lah boleh update huh, betul tak?? betul..................

Weekend Updates

Woi rasanya mcm dah lamo betui i tak jengok2 and update my blog. Last friday i melentak dengar lagu2 hujan, not the actual hujan but korean singer rain from U tube. Sedap betoi lagu2 dia buat keje pun laju je. Friday i rasa betul nya penat giler, nasib baik lah my pak metua beli nasi briyani so i tak yah lah masak, lauk ayam masak merah yang i masak on thursday night ada lagi so i cuma gorengkan telur dadar from my DH ok lah tu. As for me i cook instant noodle which i share ngan my baby. She no pantang semua pun dia lantak so senang sikit i tak yah nak cook specially for her.

Saturday pulak 1 hari i tak ada kak rumah, bangun tido i kemas bilik i je pas tu get ready to go out. 1st stop makan @ Al-Azhar pas tu head straight to Vivo City and visit my daughter nya all time favourite place Toy R Us. Actually its been quite a while since we brought her there so last saturday is a treat day for her and she bought in total 3 dvd and paints which she call dap-dap. Around 4+ i dah sampai rumah kak long i @ cck. Dia sengaja invite all of us to her place for makan2, i wish i could stay there longer borak2 ngan my family but my DH nak merambu lagi so by 9pm kita dah make a move whereas the rest of my family masik kak rumah kak long i.

Sunday is a relaxing day, bila i bangun mak metua i dah siap masak nasi lemak and sambal tumis tapi belum goreng ayam. Tu lah yang i pelik kejap masak sambal tumis dia boleh but goreng ayam tak leh, herankan?? Alah i tak nak argue much lah, dah ok lah tu at least i cuma tinggal goreng ayam & telur dah siap the meal for the day. Lepas siap buat keje in the kitchen and putting out all the laundry, i did my usual duty gosok baju by 12.30 keje semua dah beres and my little princess tak kacau i langsung sal dia sibuk doing her dap-dap (painting) so i baring lah at the sofa while she is doing her painting so dpt lah i lelap abt 1/2 hr, bila i sadar ya ampun i betul nya terperanjat, anak i dah mandi paint, dari ke rambut, muka baju and tangan habis semua kena paint, i told my mak metua mak tengok cucu mak sarkasi said pun tak leh challenge ngan Audrey buat batik.

I tayangkan gambar anak i with her artwork but muka and tangan dia yang comot tu tak clear sangat lah sebab i amik gambar using my HP and she refuse to let me take pictures of her dirty hand.

We did went out for awhile on sunday afternoon to IMM and anak i sempat tangkap her Dora bag ai anak ibu katakan gila bag lah.

Demam Korea

Hai semenjak dua menjak ni i betul nya demam korea sampai lupa nak berblogging, boleh gitu. I memang suka tengok drama korea but dulu tak lah seteruk mcm sekarang sampaikan anak i yang kecik pun dah terjangkit. Without fail every sat 9.30pm the two of us will be watching boys over flower on channel u. Hero dia punya lah handsome, meletup tapi i lagi suka Gong Yoo from coffee prince aiyoh tak leh angkat. Since my boss 1 hari tak ada kak opis tu lah i dpt chance to listen to all korean songs from u-tube dari ke wonder girls to rain to soundtrack from boys over flower and coffee prince melantak betul i sampai lupa nak jengok my blogs tapi keje jln terus tau, tu sudah mesti beb.

Ok on home front i masak rendang ayam semalam since dah dua malam i tak masak, sunday i merambu ngan my family i bungkuskan my pak metua mee goreng mamak and monday i have to run errands ngan DH @ JP, oh ya i have to tell this. Anak i pun dah dilanda demam korea juga kan so bila dia nampak poster boys over flower kak kedai CD she turn around and say ibu look our korean show, jun pyo bu look, my DH cuma boleh geleng kepala apa ibu dah ajar anak u ni so i told him ok pe at least now i ada kaki to watch my korean show and i apalagi layan anak i admiring the lead actor nya gambar. Ok lah back to lauk nya topic, woi laku betul lauk i, this morning tinggal 3 keping ayam je, i masak 1 ekor tau ingatkan nak bawa bekal lah ari ni but tak kesampaian.
Tadaa Rendang Ayam

Lauk rendang i bukan jenis yang kering but berkuah sebab my family suka yang berkuah that is why lah its look like mcm lauk kari kan sebab berkuah. Ok lah tak leh lama berblogging takut2 nanti tup-tup betara guru muncul abis i and ari ni tak ada chance lah i nak melantak dengar lagu korean, wahaa......(crying).....

Cooking & Merambu Weekend = Penat Weekend

Oh yes memang masih terasa penat sangat2 mcm tak cukup tido and rest last weekend infact i tak rest langsung. Last Saturday kakak kepada mak metua i ada buat kenduri tahlil and mak metua i have inform her that she will contribute lauk ayam so mak metua i suruh i masak and lauk pilihan mak metua i ni lauk yang susah and mengambil masa yang lama untuk masak. Lauk ini ada lauk pusaka arwah bonda i, resipi turun temurun so i tak leh nak berkongsi resipi and i bukan nya megah but so far org yang rasa lauk ini will ask for more due to the unique taste and i takes me 2 hari just to make the kuah ayam. Nasib baik lah my DH tak keje for both Thur and Fri night so boleh lah dia layan princess i sorang tu while i am busy in the kitchen memasak.

Saturday morning i bangun kul 8.30pagi dah agak lewat sikit lah sebab nak goreng ayam untuk mix to the kuah by 9.30 anak i bangun so i suruh my DH to bring her out so dia tak ganggu i bila i goreng ayam and kerana i ni org nya pantas by 11.30 dah siap pun lauk ayam keluak untuk dibawa to my aunty house. Lepas je masak i dont want to waste time i terus sambung my usual weekend duty that is ironing baju both metua i yang belambak and kul 3 siap dah dpt juga lah i rest setengah jam untuk lelap kan mata. My DH has to work last saturday so he is able to send both my mak metua and I to my aunty house but we have to get a cab home, kesian betul anak i sebab dia tak pernah naik taxi so betul nya jakun she kp on asking this and that, ibu why busuk, ibu why there is leaf (daun pandan) sampai i tak kena gaya kejap. By 9.15 anak i dah tido its because she did not take her usual afternoon nap lepas je anak i tido i sambung my ironing and this time around anak I, my DH and my clothes. Kalau nak ikut kan rasa nya mcm penat and malas nak buat but i takut kalau2 my DH decide to go out on sunday and i tak sempat to do my ironing dah nanti makin belambak lah baju2 i so tu lah i push myself to finish my work.

Phew nasib baik lah i ikut my firasat, semalam my DH dont have to work so 1 hari kita berambu including mak metua i and adik ipar i. 1st stop, Changi Village to have our brunch pas tu kita proceed to halal food exhibition @ S'pore Expo, 3rd stop Courts Tampines, 4th stop Joo Chiat Complex adik ipar i nak beli baju raya, dia nak beli early but i did not get mine sebab my DH ni pantang betul beli baju raya when kita belum lagi start puasa so i have to wait lah at least 2nd week of puasa baru lah i beli baju sepasang ngan anak i, anyway i cuma nak beli 1 pasang je so tak kisah lah and last stop kita break for tea at Al Azhar by the time sampai rumah dah almost 6 and my girl dah cranky gila sebab penat and panas.

I count myself as lucky that my DH is a hands on father, kalau dia ada i tak yah nak sibuk2 layan anak i, the minute we step into the house my DH automatic amik anak i, mandikan dia and layan dia because he knew that i will be busy packing all the things yang kita beli. Ai sambil menaip ni i am thinking kalau lah dpt tido at home best agak nya eh but unfortunately leave tak ada........so tahan je lah sampai kul 6.

2 Hari

Hai dah 2 hari i tak log in and mengupdate my entry. Nak kata busy tak lah sangat ok-ok je sebab betara guru ni mcm biskut kejap hilang kejap lagi timbul so bila dia kluar tak matikan lampu tu lah sebab i tak nak log in takut tup-tup dia timbul lah abis i dia mesti ingat i tak buat keje asyik main internet. Wow mentioning the devil dia timbul dah, kelam kabut i jap to log out, huh kan dia timbul when i least expected it.

Yesterday night my little princess betul buat i tergelak, she is imitating my style, she amik her baby pooh and put it on the bed and scolding the pooh bear sambil cekak pinggan, baby pooh dont naughty ibu will scold you, seat down ok and behave. Five minutes later she is holding the pooh bear at the armpit and move it around as if the pooh bear is jumping agn she scolding her baby pooh cannot jump remember what dr lee say cannot jump on bed, wait dr lee will poke you. I tak leh tahan betul mcm nak meletup i buat nya tapi tak leh nak ketawa depan dia kan, i was pinching myself to refrain myself from laughing. Hai if only i got my phone with me at the moment i will definitely record her.

Mlm semalam i masak the most simplest dinner you can ever think of, kacang boncis mix with carrot goreng & telur mata lembu masak kicap even mak metua i pun comment simple betul kau masak ari ni, i senyum je lah and tell her very sweetly yang i penat, memang betul pun i penat dah tak larat nak masak yang complicated or nak kena prepare lauk yang i nak kena blend itu ini tapi ari ni nak kena juga masak lauk yg sedap sikit tak kan nak lantakan my metuas lauk telur kicap je kan................

So much better

Feeling so much better now after last week nya gastric attack, tak sanggup betul nak rasakan sakitnya so now i am back to my old habit never leave home without my medicine. Oh ya last saturday i ada special guest at my office

My little princess came over, please ignore the backdrop dlm gambar ni ok

Saturday after work our mission is to get a new pair of school shoe for my darling kasut yang kita belikan dia 6 months ago dah ketat and school dah re-open for three weeks so kesian my girl stil using her tight shoes and her request is to buy mickey mouse shoe, mana nak dapat mickey mouse shoes and boy my girl is so.... cerewet and finally she she settle for a Rebbock shoe. My girl belum tau all this brand stuff she choose this pair its because of the colour, pink she called it shortcake shoe. Shortcake pun shortcake lah as long as she berkenan tak kisah lah.

Reach home abt 5pm and i terus masak kesian kan both metua i dah 2 hari makan nasi bungkus and sakit i pun dah kurang. I masak Ayam Palembang but i called it masak kicap lemak, resipi ni i tangkap from myresipi.com and sodap....

Bahan2
ayam (for sure lah duh!! tapi sengaja nak taruk, he, he)
bawang besar }
bawang putih }kisar
halia }
cili kering }
serai - titik
daun kari
santan
cube ayam (original resipi tak bubuh but i did sebab tak yah nak bubuh garam lagi)
kicap

Tumis bahan kisar hingga separuh garing masukan serai dan tumis hingga garing kemudian masukan daun kari dan tumis lagi hingga masak dan wangi. Masukan ayam dan kicap dan air. Masak hingga ayam empuk, kemudian masukan santan (i tak empukan ayam dengan santan sebab i gunakan santan dlm kotak) rasakan garam dan gula, ok siap.

Tada....... gambar lauk yang sudah siap di masak, sori eh kalau colour nya agak gelap terlebih kicap tapi sedap tau.

Wow i bangun lewat you on sunday, anak beranak bangun kul 9.30am, well my girl slept at 12 last saturday because my DH came home early and he dont me to put my girl to sleep early and they both watch APM sampai abis that is why lah my girl tido sampai kul 9.30 pagi selalu by 8.00 dia dah bangun and kejut i, ibu wake up bu. Bangun siap2 nak bring my mak metua gi geylang kesiankan org tua tu dah sound kak i so bawak lah. Sampai sana susah nak cari parking so i told my mil mak kita gi sini lain kali je org ramai parking susah and my mil boleh understand pulak tu tak kisah lah lain kali pun boleh dtg org pun tengah ramai. Dengan pantas my DH gi Jln Sultan for brunch then off we go to Ikea

The reason we went there its because we desperately need to find storage space for my girl nya toys and books and also to look for ideas to revamp our house. After Ikea kita gi sheng siong pulak nak beli ayam sebab this weekend my aunty nak buat kenduri and my mak metua nak tumpang skali so i nak kena masak lah. Sebab dah penat sangat berambu 1 hari and ironing pun i belum buat, our dinner semalam mee goreng.

dah lama betul i tak masak mee goreng tu lah sebab i nak masak, simple and nice, amacam selera tak???

Due to my girl bangun lambat and she did not take her afternoon nap by 7pm she dah cranky sebab ngantuk so kul 8 i dah masuk bilik tido kan anak i by 8.30 she is already sound asleep and i got my own time to relax and unwind and dpt lah i tengok harry potter, tu je lah yang i mampu sebab my DH tak amik kan i extra cable tv nya set-up box for my room so tengok je lah apa yang showing on TCS5.

Feeling Better

Wondering kan what's up with feeling better, well i kena gastric attack last Thursday, yup on my fun outing day, with my both sisters. Pagi tu dah rasa perut tak sedap so i ask my friend ada obat gastric tak and i did took one dosage but it does not help that much so after meeting my sisters the pain persisted. Lunch i bedal je tak nak kecik kan hati kak long i but kalau ikut rasa mcm nak balik curl in my bed tapi kalau balik pun mana lah i boleh rest.

We had lunch at a restaurant called Zac's Cafe and it was nice but i lupa nak tangkap gambo steak yang we all ngap sal perut dah tak sedap otak pun tak function after lunch mula lah our shopping expedition. The whole of Jalan Sultan kita jelahjah dari satu kedai ke satu kedai and kak long i belikan i 1 baju and kak ngah i belikan i 1 tudung. Bestkan kalau ada kakak, diaorang yang shopping so bila tengok adik kecik dia tak shop dioarang sure nya cakap choose what u want its on me, so i tangkap 1 blouse white in colour and as for tudung i took orange in colour, actually i dah ada 1 but entah lah tudung i boleh lari ke other people's house or other people's nya almari. Both my sisters shopping sakan betul kasut, baju phew bila about 5 i dah tak larat lagi nak layan my sisters sal perut i betul2 nya sakit so i straight gi GP and true enough my gastric pain is so bad that he has to gave me a jab.

Bila balik mcm dah tak larat nak buat apa2 lagi, i did not layan my girl that much by nine i dah change her to her pyjamas and lie down. We both fell asleep at the same time i dont even remember switching off the tv set. Friday i was on sick leave but i still have to send my mak metua for her eye check-up even though perut i still meragam but bila sampai rumah my mak metua ckp kau baring je kak sofa tengok anak kau main, jadi dia tak nangis, i apalagi amik bantal terus baring on the sofa like her suggestion, pelilk juga i my mak metua suggest me to lie down, bila i masuk toilet baru lah i faham why she ask me to lie down sebab muka i dah pucat gila tahankan sakit. Around 2+ both my DH and pak metua balik from sholat jumaat, i apalagi masuk bilik terus bab tido and i woke up almost 5. Phew 1st time i took a very long nap in the afternoon with no disturbance sebab i dah sakit gila baru lah my family allow me to rest, kalau tak sakit jgn haraplah i nak dapat tido in the afternoon ada je keje yang i nak kena buat.

Today alhamdullilah perut i tak meragam and today will be doing a little shopping with my little princess to buy her a new school shoes cause she outgrow hers already and tadi my mak metua baru kol yang pasar baru kak geylang dah buka and ada jualan murah, ai nak kena layan dia lah ni to bring her there so i told her maybe tomorrow lah sebab ari ni i dah ada plan, itu pun depends on my DH nya mood sebab my DH betul nya paling malas kalau nak suruh gi geylang cause its not easy to find a parking space so we shall see, will update on monday.

Yes, Half Day Again

Yes, yes ari ni i cuti half day and will be spending quality time with both my beloved sisters. We will be heading to Arab Street for lunch pastu shopping.............. I miss going out with my sisters and having a good time with them. Slalu juga my kak long and kak ngah go out together without me due to my restriction and i know kak long i rindu kak i so that is why she organise this outing. My mak metua tak tau about my date kalau dia tau abis satu minggu tak abis nanti i kena sindir. Actually kan quite pathetic tau me, i have to hide my extra activities from my in laws, i hate doing this, not being honest but what to do, i need time to be by myself too, to unwind urgh.........rimas tau kalau think about it.

Ok lah tak nak menyeyeh about this issue, semalam on the way home in the car i was asking my DH apa nak masak eh and he suggest hot spicy drumlets, hmph ok juga kan selalu nya ayam i goreng or masak lauk but dah lama sangat tak bake chicken so smlm nya menu Ayam Panggang Pedas

Bahan
bawang besar }
bawang putih } kisar
halia }
cili kering }
madu
sos tiram
kicap pekat manis

mix all the above ingredient and leave it to rest kejap pas tu bake. Usually when i bake chicken i will coat the chicken with the marinate again about 2 or 3 times so rasa nya akan meresap sebab i tak marinate the chicken overnight.

amacam selera tak??
my complete dinner smlm, fried mix vege and bake chicken, dah simple and nice

Actually i am very lucky that my family tak demand from me masak more that 2 macam lauk, apa saja yang i masak ok selalu nya main dish & sayur dah cukup lah tu sebab dioarong not a big eater and takut membazir and both my DH and girl pun tak cerewet makan nasi dengan telur goreng mata lembu and kicap pun ok actually both of them lagi suka makan ni but tak leh selalu lah not healthy kan.

Ok lah dah nak log out now nak sambung keje and kul 1 wohoo.......sisters time.............

Fresh?? sikit je........

Ok lah ari ni tak lah ngantuk sangat sebab smlm i did sleep early by 10.30pm i dah terbaring on my bed because the night before i manage only to get 3-4 hours of sleep. I told my mak metua mak ari ni orang tak larat nak buat keje rumah ngantuk sangat2 nak tido siang. I did all my hsework smlm mcm lipas kodong, sap,sup, sap, sup ala kadar je and good thing semalam kain baju tak banyak so tonight baru lah i will do my laundry and my DH tonight will be at home. Sebelum i tido i sempat sms my DH to feed anak i susu sebab guarantee i tak akan bangun to feed her at abt 12+. I still keep my girl at home today sebab her nose is still blocked so tonight have to bring her to the GP to get her the flu medicine.

Semalam i masak lauk yg paling simple that i can think of sebab dah tak larat nak masak yang lain2, kari telur with a little bit of twist (twist lagi kan), sebab i gunakan cube stok ayam which i mix with hot water to larutkan the cube and bila i bancuh rempah kari instead of using tap water i use the air stok ayam and pour the remaining stok untuk dijadikan kuah so tak yah nak bubuh banyak garam sebab stok dah ada sodium content so i cuma add sikit je. Nasib baik lah both metua i tak complain, lately i masak lauk semua yang simple2 but last sunday i masak lauk special tau, my family nya trademark lauk ayam masak keluak, dish ni ada lah dish turun temurun arwah bonda i and i dare say that this dish can only be found at my home, so ada juga lah special dishes yang i masakan untuk family. Ari ni tak tau pulak nak masak lauk apa, i think i nak kena tapaw je for both my metua sal i nak bring anak i gi GP so by the time i sampai rumah i dont think i will sempat masak dinner for them, hmph i shall ask them later.

Zombie

Ya Allah ngantuk nya tak leh tahan, my little princess is under the weather again, flu and tak tido nyenyak sebab blocked nose so bila dah merengek iby & babah pun tak leh tido. I think i cuma manage to get abt 3 to 4 hrs of sleep and right now i will do anything just to get a good nap tapi apa kan daya at the office cant do that but may be i will just doze off kejap lah.

My mak metua pun baru kol tadi informing me that anak i dah deman, hai kesian baru start sekolah and she luv school dah kena ponteng. This morning when i told that she did not have to go to school but she insist that she wants to no bu audrey go to school, so i iya kan je lah takut nanti melalak tak tentu pasal nanti abis nyai dia tak leh handle.

Phew Yo ari ni busy betul beb, baru lah dpt nak singgah kak blog jap untuk berblogging, itu pun betara guru dah kluar jap je so celok lah kejap. Nothing much to update cuma my little princess came to me and make me terperanjat beruk semalam petang after her babah went off for his part time job and i ngah did ironing baju both metua i:

Audrey : bu go toy r us bu
Me : why do you need to go to toy r us
Audrey : my toys finish bu
Me : what do you mean your toys finish, u got a lot of toys, how about yr drum, yr slide, yr car, yr blocks

Audrey : ok bu can we go buy little bear gummies
Me : you can call babah later and he will get it for you
Audrey : ok bu, yayi play horsey (she is screaming now, looking for her yayi)

Ya ampun what my girl says is so familiar and that is me, dulu bila i nak shopping je i will my DH, dear i nak beli baju ah, baju i dah abis and now my little darling come to me and say the exact same thing, ni baru toys nanti kalau dah besar and dah pandai melawa, oh god i dont even want to think about it and pandai pulak tu she finds reason why she needs to go toy r us.

Half Day

Today our office operates half a day due to company retreat at Changi Aloha. Lepas i mengupdate i akan abis kan keje yang i termampu pas tu nak kluar jap gi beli barang for the games items that we will be playing today.

Ok as promised smlm i enclose gambar anak i nya bag collection tak banyak lah but i can forsee kan she is going to have more of these bags.

In the picture u can see 4 bag but actually she has five, i pun tak tau mana dah my princess keep her the other strawberry shortcake bag. My mak metua commented that even anak i nya teacher pun comment that my girl has a lot of bag. Like mum like daughter lah. Semalam i masak lauk ayam (like duh, i tak akan masak lauk lain melainkan ayam) but not kicap but kari but with a bit of twist, kepala i ngah full of twisting idea agaknya.

Bahan
Ayam (of course)
bawang besar }
bawang putih }kisar
halia }
tomato puree
rempah kari
kayu manis
susu cair (tukar selera asyik gunakan santan)
kentang

Tumis kayu manis kemudian masukkan bahan kisar dan tumis hingga terbit minyak. Masukkan rempah kari dan tomato puree. Masukkan ayam dan biarkan seketika, kemudian masukkan air, kentang dan susu cair dan masak hingga ayam empuk. Jgn lupa bubuh garam. Siap untuk ngap.

Busy Day

Wow semalam i betul nya ribut, busy betul banyak betul kerja yg nak kena bereskan sampaikan tak sempat nak jengok2 blog. Home front keadaan biasa je nothing special happening cuma skg i dah kekeringan idea apa nak masak. Both my DH and mak metua ni suka makan ayam as for me ngan pak metua i we both suka makan lauk yg simple2 style kampung. So bila i nak masak ikut tekak i both my DH and his mum tak makan so nak tak nak, kena ikut tekak diaorang sebab betara guru ni cerewet sikit but kalau pak metua i semua dia lantak no fuss. Smlm my DH tak keje mlm and he fetch me from work, terus amik anak i gi NTUC beli susu and guess what my little princess have 1 more thing in common with me, she got a weakenss for bag, as of now my princess ada 2 strawberry shortcake bag, 1 hippo bag and 1 thomas the train bag and smlm she wants barney bag (malam nanti i akan susun all her bags and amik gambar) so we let her have it. Sampai rumah my mak metua commented

Mil : ai beli bag lagi
DH :ah ah ikut ibu lah ni gila bag
Me : Oi ckp baik sikit eh
DH : betul pe, u kan gila bag cuma skg ni i stop u from buying it kalau tidak abis

I diam tak nak comment, actually what my DH say its true, actually i dah banyak give up a lot of things like buying bags and shoes, wow dulu sebelum ada my girl jgn ckp nampak je beli, sampaikan my DH ckp yr timberland boots u tu dah panggil u tau suruh u pakai dia, masa beli tu tak ingat tau how often i will put on the boots, i beli on impulse $299 for a pair of boots and now i cannot remember when is the last time i pun on the boot. But since dah ada my little girl i dah banyak mellow i dah tak beli on impulse and b4 i beli anything i will pause and think do i need it or i just want it, its a two different thing and normally i will refrain from buying things that i already have, simpan duit tu untuk anak lebih baik. I pun dah lama tak shopping cause i dont see the needs, baju i pun banyak so pakai apa yang ada and i dah discuss ngan my DH hari raya i cuma nak beli 1 pasang baju je for 1st day sepasang ngan anak i and i will pakai baju2 yang lama. Kita ni kan dah puas rasa hari raya so tak yah lah nak tukar baju sampai lima pasang and kasut and bag pun tak yah lah nak beli yang baru, kalau kita pakai yg lama bukan tak raya, raya juga kan. I bukan nya sour grapes but i think that i really have to spent my money wisely. My kak long inform me that she has fork out $55k for her eldest daughter nya uni education, bila i dengar huh, banyak nya boleh tak aku simpan sampai banyak gitu so i really have to start saving from now untuk anak i and not forgetting i jaga dua org tua and bila-bila both metua i boleh break down and sekarang medical fees bukan nya murah beb so lagi-lagi lah i nak kena pandai jimat cermat. Lagipun kita dah cukup rasa ni semua and now its my girl nya time, biar dia yang look cantik and cute on hari raya, biar my baby yang bertukar baju berpasang2, kasut, hair clip and etc... as for ibu and babah biasa je tak yah lah nak glamour2. Ok enough elaboration, smlm i masak kicap ayam again but ada kelainan sikit.

Bahan2
ayam marinate with kunyit and garam and goreng dulu
kentang - potong wedges marinate with kunyit and garam and goreng duly
tomato - optional (potong wedges)
kicap
sos tomato
daun sup
bawang besar }
bawang putih } hiris
haila }
cili merah & hijau }
1 cube ayam - optional (kalau tak nak guna boleh bubuh gula and garam utuk sedapkan rasa but i think the cube ayam dah cukup untuk melazatkan rasa sebab i dont use garam or gula)

Tumis bahan hiris sampai layu masukan tomato sos, kicap and air. Bila rasa dah sebati masukan ayam and kentang. Bila dah sebati masukan tomato and daun sup tutup api. BTW semalam i did add on fish ball in it since ada lebihan kalau tak masak nanti sayang terbuang.

Dah siap, my mil did commented selalu sangat kau masak lauk kicap, i senyum je lah, sori mak sal senang lah mak, cepat di masak, audrey pun boleh makan sebab tak pedas. Sebut je nama anak i mak metua i sure diam punya tak banyak comment. This morning i tengok abis juga lauk aku ye ingat tak laku, ai skg tengah perah otak apa nak masak mlm ni.................

Mood Malas Melanda

Ok i know i baru update yg i suka banget masak-memasak but semalam ada outburst kak office so bila kemarahan i dah meluap-luap jadi mood untuk buat segala benda terus hilang. Actually pagi lagi i dah plan yang i nak masak acar telur puyuh so the plan is sampai je rumah i nak capai anak i terus bring her to giant and beli bahan lauk since mood malas dah melanda and otak terus blank.

Sampai rumah i rilek dulu ngan anak inside the room then about 10mins later mak metua i dah sound anak kau belum makan tau cepat lah masak, alamak betara guru dah monitor baik cepat nanti tak pasal-pasal kena sindir, masuk dapur and i stare at the chicken, apa aku nak masak eh? ya Allah otak buntu, fikir punya fikir ah dont care lah i masak the world's most simple ayam kicap:

Bawang besar hiris
Halia }
Bawang putih } tumbuk
Lada putih }
Kicap
1 cube ayam

Tumis bawang besar hingga layu masukan bahan tumbuk dan tumis lagi hingga garing and naik bau. Masukan ayam biarkan seketika, masukan air and kicap and masak hingga ayam empok. Masukan cube ayam. I tak bubuh garam or gula sebab kicap dan cube ayam dah ada perisa.

Betul tak simple giler kan even mak metua i pun tanya

Mil : Kau masak apa
Me : Kicap ayam mak
Mil : Oh!! (she is curios now bila tengok periuk)

Dalam hati alamak how eh kalau tak ada org makan, sayang ayam 1 ekor, ah tak kisah lah kalau tak abis besok bawak bekal. Lepas mandi i terus suap anak i and by the look on her face she luv it, sampai 2 potong ayam and nasi pun banyak princess i makan. And guess what when i nak panaskan lauk ayam this morning terperanjat beruk betul i, ayam tinggal 3 potong je, wah laku juga lauk malas aku eh. I pesan my pak metua this morning to buy lunch for mak metua i sebab i tak sempat nak masak this morning.

Tonight my DH tak keje and he will be fetching me from office pas tu terus amik darling i and kita nak gi pasar malam dekat rumah i so tak yah masak, YES!!!

Penat but Partly Enjoying It

Pelik kan my caption, Penat - i betul-betul-betul nya penat for the past 3 weeks enjin i sentiasa on dari pagi hingga lah malam. From office work to housework non stop. Every morning i will rush to do as much as possible and rasanya kalau lah i dapat drag the time i would.

Ok the enjoying part, masak. It has always been my passion, i suka skali masak dari dulu sampai sekarang, penat macam pun i still enjoy cooking, its like a stress reliever for me, from the amount of concentration i put in and not forgetting the luv of cooking for my family, i just cannot explain, bila i tumis the rempah ratus and the aroma comes from it hai sungguh menyelerakan and satisfying. The end results came when my family taste the food and seeing them rasa kenyang and hearing them burping rasa nya macam best gitu. But i do have my moments terasa malas nak masak, i am still a human kan. One thing funny is i tak makan apa yang i masak, kelakar kan especially hari raya when i have to slave in the kitchen satu hari masak macam2 lauk tapi i akan masak lauk bening for myself. Entah lah i just luv and enjoy masak but i tak makan cukup setakat untuk rasakan lauk tu seimbang ke tidak rasa nya tapi i wont amik nasi and ceduk lauk untuk makan. Ada lah juga sometimes i makan apa yang i masak but very seldom, u all must be wondering what's my dinner kan, two slice of bread and a cup of milo dah itu je. Tapi lately ni i enjoy my time at the kitchen but ada one hiccups, my little princess. Kesian dia, dah lah her babah has been working 5 nights in a row so bila i balik she wants me to be and play with her but i am unable to do it so u all should see my action in the kitchen macam lipas kodong. Semalam pak metua i nak makan mee soto and mak metua i pulak kari kepala ikan, wah good appetitite betul metua i dua2 ni and i start masak kul 6.50 and i finish exactly one hour. After that Audrey's time. I am at her beck and call giving my little princess all the attention.

Our special moments is bed time, i will switch on the dvd ikut selera my princess lah apa yang dia nak tonton and we both curl up on the bed under the sheets and me holding my princess close to my heart and my baby fallng asleep in my arms while i gently tepuk2 my little darling to sleep and bila anak i tido i will never fail to stare at her face and just stare at the small cute face of hers and thanking ALLAH for giving me the chance to be her mum, all the sleepless looking after her is all worth it, if you ask me will i do it all over again then my answer is YES!!!

Back to Norm

Things are back to normal at home front, i tak nak layan sangat ngan kerenah mak metua i, dia dah tua, esok2 nanti bila i dah tua agaknya pun sama juga but InsyaAllah i will try my best not to be like her. The past two days she has been helping me to do a little bit of the housework, like putting away the dishes, tidy up the living and sapu rumah so i tak yah lah nak sapu rumah i malam2 but the cooking and laundry is still done by me and not forgetting i have to clean up after the cat too.

Semalam mak metua i ckp main ngan anak kau dulu, jangan kelam kabut masak. Masak yang senang2 sudah ai angin 1 badan betul lah orang tua ni. So semalam i makak ayam masak palembang, i tangkap resipi ni from myresepi.net, its senang dimasak and sedap di makan:

Bahan2
Bawang besar }
Bawang putih } kisar
Cili kering }
Halia }
Santan
serai - titik
daun kari
kicap manis

Cara2
Tumis bahan kisar hingga garing dan naik minyak, masukkan serai dan tumis lagi hingga harum. Masukan ayam dan biarkan sekejap. Masukan santan, kicap mainis dan daun kari. Masak sampai ayam empok.

Hah betul tak i ckp, the ingredients is very simple kan and its easy to cook and the taste phew pegi beb, anak i pun suka abis je i mandi straight away she told i want mamam rice and chicken and 1 potong ayam abis with a plate of rice, semenjak dua menjak ni i anak i betul nya ada good appetitie, nyai dia cakap mulut anak i nonstop asyik makan je but the thing is she does not put on weight, nampak kecik je, tu yang buat i risau orang asyik tegur anak i kecik and i tak kasi dia makan, where does the food go to, my friend told me that maybe anak i ada high metabolic rate that is why she eat non stop but does not put on weight, tapi tak kisah lah kan as long as she is healthy i am happy.
