As mentioned last week, i continue my weekend project of 'buat kuih raya'. This week, managed to do 3 jenis kuih lagi... it all started on Friday nite. For first kuih, saya buat kuih tart nenas. Lepas membeli belah di TESCO, saya pun started with membuat jamnya. Jam tengah menggelegak di kuali The next day, baru la dibuat tart tu... Alhamdulillah...first time buat jam and tart ni. Resepi saya google jek. Agak2 tengok review bagus2, saya pun try la... Walaupun agak huduh rupa tart saya, tapi Insya-Allah sedap jugak la... huhuhuh (get into a basket and lift myself up). Sepanjang buat tart ni, memang tak aman hidup saya. my phone keep on ringing. Dapat call from sales bagitau customer dia x leh buat payment pasal system down. Adeh! terpaksa la berenti kejap-kejap2 and check status dalam SAP, call orang technical, call team member semua (Abis hp saya terkena calitan marjerin n tepung). Sabtu malam plak, buat biskut kelapa. My MIL favourite. Dia siap gorengkan kelapa pa...

Just read Ustaz Hasrizal entry about marriage. I like it. You can read it here . Semoga bermanfaat untuk kita semua. On Raya preparation: Jap lagi nak start buat kuih... Doakan hasilnya ok yer... hehehehhe :-)

I am not fat nor I'm skinny. I've told you before... But since I've been married, I've gained almost 15 kgs. That is average of 2.5 kg per year i.e 0.21 kg per month. And this year, is the highest weight I have ever gained so far. I've tried some loosing weight product but it just a waste. I did try starving, but u know what was bound to happend... Overall, my previous diet regime did loose me a little weight, but later on I gained more (sigh...)  A week before Ramadhan, I reflected on myself. I know I have reach a point where I'm overweight. Honestly, I was a little sad with my lack of discipline when it comes to food... my favourite food. Yup... I luv to eat. Especially those sweet things. And those yummy things... I simply love to eat. I know this can't go on... I would end up gained another 20 kgs when I reach 40. Woooo.... NAUZUBILLAH... Can't imagine how to carry that much of fat in such a small frame. For sure sakit lutut and kaki punya... Tha...

Bermula seawal jam 10 malam, Hari jumaat malam sabtu yang lalu... bermulalah projek kuih raya saya... Hehehe.. Kuih pertama : Chocolate Chip Cookies. Got the recipe from forwarded emails. I started from 10 pm to almost 2 am baru habis semua. The first batch masuk oven, terpaksa dibakul sampah kan sebab hangus hitam legam. Sampai berasap oven saya... kes..kes..kes... but the next batch, alhamdulillah...ok. Sedap rasanya. Cuma keras sikit but still edible. Huhuhuhhu.... I have done my search through internet. Perhaps the following were my mistakes that causes the cookies keras sikit: I beated my flour in with the hand mixer at high speed instead of stir it/beat it at lower speed i.e i overmixing the dough I think i overcook the cookies. The temperature may be not as accurate as it should be. And due to kekerasan cookies tu, I plan to eat it myself...not as part of my kuih raya. malu la nk bagik org makan cookies keras. Tapi family member bleh rasa yer...  The next day, satu...

I listened to radio this morning (on the way to work). Ustaz Zahazan had shared on  petua untuk memulihkan bayi songsang. According to him, he got this petua from a Sheikh in Arab (can't remember which part). What u need is minyak kelapa dara or just a plain minyak kelapa (bukan kelapa sawit yer...itu minyak masak...hehehhe). Bacakan surah At-Tariq ayat 1 hingga 7, dan sapukan dari perut hingga kawasan rahim dengan bilangan ganjil (3x ke...7 x ke...). Semoga ini bermanfaat buat semua. Ramadhan dah masuk hari yang ke 19. Malam ni bermula lah pusingan 10 malam akhir Ramadhan. Cepat sungguh masa berlalu. Meh kita sama-sama mengimarahkan 10 malam terakhir ni. Weekend ni nak start buat kuih raya. Weekend je la pun yang saya ada masa. Tahun ni berazam nak buat kuih raya sebab oven yang saya beli setahun yang lalu hanya pernah digunakan 2 kali jer... tu pun, sekali saya guna (buat cinnamon bun yang jadik cinnamon biscuits), and sekali lagi adik saya yang buat kek kelapa (alamak....aku...

Yesterday, I went to Majlis Ifthar organised my hubby's school mate. It was an annual event (with different host every year). And this year, the event was an event that is much awaited by everyone. Why? Please scroll down below to know who this years' host... I took the opportunity to take photo with her. Well... It just happend that her hubby was my hubby's room mate during sekolah-sekolah dulu. What a small world. And as expected, the crowd was much larger as compared to previous Majlis Ifthar (sapa nak miss pi umah celebrity ni??). The host also invited a few anak yatim from Ma'had tahfiz in Paya Jaras to have the ifthar with us. The event started with berbuka puasa, and then solat maghrib and dinner buffet stle. The much awaited menu was kambing bakar (as usual la... diorang memang tak leh miss this menu when buat gathering...But i pun suka la...) Sedap tau... Just look at the line that we formed semata-mata nak amik kambing bakar ni... Belakang tu...

Last tuesday, we had a berbuka puasa session with rep from the management. We had invited an ustaz for a ceramah while waiting for the time berbuka puasa. Can't remember the ustaz's name. But his ceramah was really really interesting and funny. Personally I had a good time listening his ceramah. I'm not sure what his ceramah specific topic since the ceramah already started when I arrived. Anyway, one of the points that i remember; he was talking about Nabi Adam's advice to his sons... Kamu jangan merasa tenang dengan dunia ini, maka saya ketika merasa tenang dengan syurga, Allah s.w.t. tidak redha dan mengusir saya daripadanya.” ( jangan kita merasai ketenangan dengan dunia kerana Nabi Adam A.S. diusir dari Syurga kerena setelah merasa ketenangan dan lupa diri lalu melakukan kesilapan sehingga Baginda diusir dari Syurga). Jangan menurutkan hawa nafsu wanita, maka sesungguhnya saya telah menuriti hawa nafsu wanita sehingga makan pohon yang dilarang dan menyes...

It was a hectic day, yesterday... Phew! I'm glad it's over... really looking forward to spend this weekend resting and 'lazying' (is there such a word?) around. It all started with a rush driving to our training centre. I didn't woke up late. I woke up as usual. But i forgot that I've washed my clothes last night and now i need to 'sidai baju' before i went off to work. End up, I was 15 minutes late from the time I was suppose to leave my house. Luckily the traffic was not so bad. I arrived only 5 minutes earlier than the time that our program should start. And I was the program co-ordinator. Hehehhe... Tapi biasa la kan... the team member semua lambat. At last we started half and hour late than scheduled. We were having an Away Day to discus on the process flow of the new payment system that we adopted. We need to finalised it asap and to present it to our management by end of this month. It was suppose to be a smooth Away Day. Just a discussion ove...

My hubby's birthday is on 2nd August. As I told you before, I had planned a surprise for him. Since the surprise need to be done exactly at 12 am, I took a nap (boleh category as nap ke?) at 10 pm. Exactly at 11.50 pm, i woke up (dah kunci jam siap2 dah...kalo tak kompem terlajak punya). MDH tak tido lagik...tengah main computer game. Chantekkk!!! So, dengan buat2 muka ngantuk, i turun ke tingkat bawah buat2 nak pi minum air. Sempat jeling my hubby yang main game, tengok dia khusyuk jer main game... bagus... Sampai tingkat bawah, terus menuju ke peti sejuk untuk mengeluarkan kek yang berjaya diseludup masuk ketika MDH pergi pasar ramadhan. Bukak kotak and letak kek atas meja di ruang tamu. Then, pi bilik belakang and bawak keluar hadiah yang berjaya diseludup masuk bersama kek tadi. Ok, semua dah ready...bleh nyalakan lilin. Kek...check! hadiah...check! lilin dinyalakan... check! Masa untuk beroperasi... Ambik HP and call my hubby yang di tingkat atas lalu berkata "Abang...

Alhamdulillah...selamat menempuh hari puasa yang pertama. Hari ni masuk opis awal sikit (awal banyak sebenarnya!) pkol 7 dah terpacak kat opis. Sebab nak balik awal. Pkol 4 dah boleh balik. Bersyukur sangat company ni introduce flexi hour. Senang sikit nak adjust masa sendiri. Walaupun i bertolak kluar umah selepas subuh, kenderaan di jalan raya punyalah banyak... tak sangka ramai sungguh orang yang keluar awal pagi untuk pergi kerja di Kuala Lumpur. Tapi, alhamdulillah, tak ler jam teruk. Sikit-sikit jer... Balik pun cam tu...Ingatkan pkol 4 dah awal... rupanya boleh tahan gak banyak kenderaan waktu tu. Anyway, semoga esok akan lebih baik dari hari ini. Daripada Abu Hurairah daripada Rasulullah S.A.W telah bersabda yang bermaksud: Sesiapa yang berpuasa Ramadhan dengan penuh keimanan dan keikhlasan nescaya akan diampuninya segala dosanya yang telah lalu. (Diriwayat oleh imam Nasai'e, Ibn majah, Ibn Habban dan Baihaqi) p/s: Esok birthday my dear hubby. Nak buat surprise k...
