Weekend di Kuantan... beach & scrambler....

Naik motor ni mengimbau kenangan masa bercinta kat Uni.... dia la ajaq camana nak bwk motor.... Alhamdulillah tak jatoh tereksiden lagi... Cuma kena simbah ayaq jalan bila kereta lalu tu ada laa....

1st date (official punya)... dia sanggop pinjam moto kuasa tinggi member dia, nama Asfiya kot.... sejok ooi kalo naik memalam! Nasib aku pakai turtleneck sweater light brown G2000. ... Anyways... it was the best moment ever.... rasa dlm movie Top Gun pon ada..... especially when dah antar balik umah & say goodbye. Aku x pernah kluaq dating & sapa2 pon.....b4 I met him.... mesti la excited gilos. 1st time woiii!

OK... i'll save that story for another time....

Tapi rasanya dah lama sgt I tak bwk motor.... 5 years?

SO bila dapat peluang pinjam scrambler abng ipaq, apa lagi.... vrenggg... VRENGGGG! Cuma sayang, motor ni mini scrambler... naik sorang saja.... walaupon aku ni kurus kerempeng, tetap x muat 2. Owh welll....naik solo bergilir ler jwb nya.....  motor ni jenis gear manual.. Cuak gak membawanya... but alhamdullilah.... I still remember the basics after crash course 5 minit ngan hubby...

Then weather pon hujan renyai2... if u can see in the photos. Anyways.... aku bwk motor tu slow2..... walau niat di hati rasa nak buat stunt kat pasir pantai tu.... tp takot, moto orang maa... moto sendiri x per.... Then lalu la kat area this young boys main beskal... Then aku dgr la ..
"Kak! Kak! Buat la wheely!
"Laju la skit .." sambil naik beskal depa beriringan ngan aku....
Isyhhhh.... perli ya.

Bukan minah rempit ya!

Niat ada... but mungkin belom lagi

Dulu2 zmn skolah kat Terengganu, aku mmg kena pakai tudong.... then masok UNI, dah freedom untuk memilih samada nak pakai or not.... Time tu aku mmg nak pakai... but aku juga nak buat mende2 sronok, sosial, clubbing, pergi hu ha la ... yg aku kira tak sesuai & imej bertudong.... Aku tanak la sebab aku, org pandang serong pompuan bertudong..... So, pada aku time tu, better aku buat apa yang aku nak pueh2... then pakai tudong lepas kawen.

Alih2... umor dah meningkat .. aku pon tak sedaq, dah masok 3 series.... aku masih free hair. Then I realize I look so old wearing hijab.... mature.... tue.... and mcm macik (huhuhu) .... Ada kah aku yg salah teknik? Or tak reti nak kenakan tudng.... La ni tudong byk fesyen, tak mcm zaman aku dulu, hanya tudong bawal, tudong laboh or tudong mak :-P ...heheh...  Atau bentok muka aku yg kurus ni membuatkan aku nampak tua (ye ye mmg dah tua) .... I ask my hubby

"Ok tak i pakai cam ni? "

Dia pandai... dia x jwb direct kata hodoh/burok.... dia kata tudong tu x sesuai.... pandai kan? Muka dia mcm org salah kentot public, sengih dlm tak sengih bersalah.... aku pon trus simpan balik tudong tu, tak jadi beli.....walaupon murah belas2 ringgit je tudong iran kain tshirt ni....

Masak Masak Apa? Ku siram selasiihhh....

 Antara favorite herbs yg tahan lasak, mudah ditanam & versatile....n sedap... is basil... selasih... kat malaysia ni byk ada sweet thai basil.... Daun besaq2... mak aku ada nama lain utuk dia, but aku lupa bcoz dah jrg dengaq orang lain pakai nama tuu... owhhhhhHHH ya! KEMANGI!

Apa pasai aku kata senang tanam? Sebab hang buleh patah/petik hujong atas pkok tu... or org kata tunas... and juz cucok kat tanah lembab.. & it will grow... tak payah tunggu benih or nak kena tot ke... ambik korek akaq ke.....

Versatile sbb buleh buat ulam, buleh mkn in laksa penang or ulam sambai blacan.... or stir fry with cili padi and ayam or daging.... if buat sup or bubur, ko tarok daun tu.... ini cara org Vietnam la.... sedap gak.

Pernah buat Vietnam roll? Tarok daun ni jugak.... rasanya refreshng mcm mint/pudina but tak se'angin/minty' mcm mkn ubat gigi.... ada rasa len skit.

Khasiat? Yang itu tatau... daun kesom aku tau la, my mom kata untuk rapat merapat kat 'situ'....
Selasih ni sy kurang fasih.... anda or mak anda taw?
Habaq kat saya.... kita share info.

Ini pula sup my sis in law buat.... but aku lupa pa nama dia... sedap....
Base tomato, ada ayam n sayoq and chickpea/kacang kuda...... Fuhhhh.... menarik! Asyik2 sup tulang, tomyam... kita cuba masakan lain plak.

Anak2 takder?? Apa lagi.. dating la!

How efficient did we utilise our 1 night berdua???

Haaaa.... ini kesinambungan of my previous entry.... since kids smua dah aku outsource ke mak mentua & mak sendiri.... apa lagi utilise the free time berdua to the MAX la!!



Haaa... nak pukoi 5 pagi baru balik umah... Rewang KL, jumpa cousin yg lama tak jumpa dr Aloq Staq... nama dia Jasmine Mat Arifin... lain benor rupanya.... But sronok giler borak sambei makan kat Ukay Perdana.... Rasanya kalo la laki aku cuti esok ari, mmg kami borak sampai pukoi 6.... but since it was too late, and dia pon ada meeting... terpaksa la blah.... ANyways, I really enjoyed my time last nite.... Kadang2 mmg sronok hidup with keriangan anak2... but kadang I still nak berdua like zaman dating dulu2.... then start citer kisah lama.... baru la the romance 'mekar' sentiasa..... but seriously, rasa cam budak kluar dting semalam!..... Sebab movie tua abis awal, kita org dok buang masa bergambaq dlm keta berdua.... dok buat muka muntah sbb citer td membuatkan kami pening2 lalat meluat kdg2....

Ini air nampak mencurigakan, tapi it is from Iran delima juice drink.

KOMUNITI ISLAM/MELAYU BODOH ??? (now, this is TOO MUCH!!)

Kalau boleh I really do not want to talk about politics & isu2 kaum/agama..... bcoz kita dudok sama2 kat negara n, cari makan dgn aman, mungkin ahli kluaga kita pon ada berasal dr different cultural background... we love each other punya food/cuisine... we celebrate all holidays together.... Then we should also try preserve the harmony & tolerance in d best way we can... Nak komplen pon, tolong la cari tempat yg sesuai.... Tapi .........

When  saw a friend of mine (bukan calang2 org, berjawatan tinggi) boleh post kat Facebook dia status yang I consider highly insensitive, added with her friends replying and imply that komuniti Islam/Melayu ni stupid.... aku jadi sedih sangat..... Tapi yang aku paling kecewa, not ONE soul said what she did is atrocious! Ada  kawan punya la ramai, semua buat derk... lagi menyokong bangga....

Orang ludah bangsa/agama kita, tapi kita sengap.... mana jihad nya? Pelik. Kalau masih ramai so called penduduk Malaysia yang masih berpikiran mcm 'kawan' FB (not anymore) aku ni, buat statement ikot sedap hati kutuk agama/bangsa lain.... I do not think keamanan & kesusilaan yg kita dok war warkan itu akan synonim dgn nama Malaysia lagi.

Adakan dia tak paham concept toleransi racial? Sayang.... sedih.... kecewa... kecik ati .... sampai aku x boleh nak tidor tulis entry ni pukoi 3am. Kalah perasaan baru gadoh & boyfriend!

I will remove the FB conversation below later, bcoz seeing it here is a painful reminder of how shallow people can be.

I'm probably dousing petrol wiv fire.... but I felt it was UNACCEPTABLE. Jenis org intellect species apa yg sanggup buat statement yang aku kira melampaui batas.

My 1st Movie Premier by Nuffnang - ALTITUDE

WOW!! This was my reaction bila nampak email dr Nuffnang kata dapat 2 ticket movie Premier (I entered the contest fe weeks ago)....
Aku jenis jarang menang contest ke, lucky draw ke.... mmg payoh benor nak dapat mende pon. So, bila dapat peluang cam ni mmg excited sangat. Dulu zaman UNI mmg kaki wayang... tgk sorang2 pon x kisah. Tapi la ni, dah 2 org anak... susah skit la... walaupon my two kids mmg jenis boleh layan movie walaupon 3 jam! (AVATAR)....
     OK, so... pi la cek wiv hubby (dia lagi kaki movie) .... anak2 smuanya dah outsource... sorang hantaq umah mak sendiri, sorang antaq umah mentua... Pandai saya kan??
Nak jadi citer, ada dua counter tiket collection... dua2 banner Filem Altitude.... saya pon pi la bratoq yg ramai org... alih2 Cina pompuan tu pon tanya suruh saya ambil majalah dia... Saya yang tak sempat nak bukak mulot tanya ini counter Nuffnang ke, trus la jwq soklan dia dulu.... saya tak reti baca Cina (hubby yg half Chinese pon x reti baca...) ... then hubby kat blakang dah gelakkan aku... SALAH COUNTER ROPANYA!!
Alahaiiii...
Then, dah la dapat tiket panggung free... 2! Dapat pula 2 set ayaq coke n popcorn! Alamak, syioknya!
Masokla panggung..tu.... mcm ramai golongan muda mudi ajer..... terasa tua kejap..... nak borak2 pon, gelap... so I didn't get a chance to make new blogger friends... Next time lah...insyallah.

Korang nak review the movie ker?... Mmm

Citer ni hanya sejam aja... most scene dlm kapai terbang tu aje.... Then, dialogue nya agak lemohhhh, nasib baik ada watak Sal, melawakkan keaadaan... Kalo tak, tension gak nak perabis tengok. But, if u want to see... well... kena tgk wiv n open mind... sebab bila kat last last tu baru tahu kenapa the whole story seakan dicipta oleh minda imaginasi seorang budak yg hyper...
So, like I said kena sabauuu.....

Tapi I mmg nak tergelak ngan gelagat bloggers lain, bila sampai part yg bua kita rasa tension nak tikam pelakon/director citer tu.... termasok la laki aku.

The good part was looking at poster gergasi of upcoming filem baru... contohnya filem the Fockers. I couldnt resist bergambar there...... The ada filem Egyptian Mummy ... I mmg suka cter adventure zaman Mesir.... kalo ada rezki nak pi Cairo....insyallah.

So, akhir kata..... sronok la movie Premier bersama Nuffnang!! Kalo ada fellow blogger member, laaaagi syiok!

Facial Salon Quest - Finding the right/best ones?

Skarang ni dah mcm2 spa ada, anywhere... any type.... Jenis bali la, Indon la, Japanese Zen style la... jenis chinese emperor guna jade/emas la... botox la.... Siapkan duit ajer...

Seingat aku dulu2.... ikot kakak aku facial... spa Melayu2 kita ni guna Nutrimetics la, Avon la, Citra Ayu smua ni..... or Kayla Beverly Hills... but ambiencenyer mmg tak leh celen la zmn skarang. Dulu2 ada gak cita2 nak bukak spa.... then bapak aku ada la nak tlg sponsor... then bila aku tahu ada kilang yg kluarkan produk 'kita' yg mcm acuan.. sama tp tak serupa.... sungguh rasa tertipu..... padan la kosmetik local skarang kluar mcm cendawan... buka aja majalah Mingguan Wanita tu....

Anyways.... yg aku nak citer is.... finding the right spa/salon.... in no particular order ;

1) Pastikan near/convenient your place... Kalau tidak, malas nak pi la.. jaoh laa.... last2 tak pergi jugok.  Parking senang.... area x jam....

2) Test trial dulu(slalunya FREE)... tgk puas ati tak ngan beautician. Rajin? Pushy? Sakit? Kasar? Too lembut?
Rilex and see for few days whether ader alergic reaction ke tak... sesuai ke tak.... Itu penting. Sesuai ngan Siti, tak semesti sesuai ngan Diana... Check Ada trial set free?

3) Interact & consultant depa. Jenis nak jual aje ke... tak duli kiri kanan ... or jenis steady, let u make up ur mind at your own pace.... Ini penting supaya kita x terjebak ngan pujuk rayu....

4) Check package offer... Berkira? Smua nak charge?
Slalu if take up package (min 10session) .. mesti ada few treatment diberi free (eye/neck) ...ada bundle with treatment essence tak (botol kecik2 tu yg mahai tu) .. and should have vouchers utuk redeem product dia...
Baru la optimum result buleh dapat, kan. Always ask what else can u offer me...

5) Ada sesetengah spa offer flexi package... means ko bayar lump sum then ko can swap treatment facial with massage body ker... slimming ker... hair treatment kee.... For me aku cuma pentingkan muka ajer.... But this flexi package can be quite convenient for ppl yang looking for 3 in 1 stop spa.

Stakat ni aku wiv Bella Skin kat Uptown, getting bored .... so aku pi survey Cres plak... they use Cellnique.... agak OK... i wouldn't mind going there again.... but outlet nyer x brapa convenient for me. Tak pa la... we'll see.

10.10.10 - Celebrated Date in A Somber Mood

When the weekend came, I was soooo excited to blog about the trip going to my UNI mate wedding in Johor (9.10.10), group holiday with good old friends.. going to SG together, homestay (which we never did, went to Melaka instead) ... all the planning & excitement was so engulfing.

Then, the Simpang Ampat accident tragedy happened.

Hilang semua mood nak blog about the fun trip earlier. Becoz realizing how close we were to be a part of the tragedy. Dear Allah, alhamdulillah... for the safety of all my friends & my family. Al-Fatihah for those life that has been lost.

I couldn't sleep last night until 4.45am thinking how things were falling into place, keeping us away from danger's path. 

I realized if we did went to SG, we would have taken the highway, speeding away like mad to get back home. 

I realized, if we had not travel together with my old friend's family... we would have take the highway instead of the old trunk road... bcoz we do not know the old roads.

If we hadn't stop for dinner... 

.... timing is everything... fate had laid out its plan, despite what we have planned originally.

I remembered talking to my husband on the way to Kluang, how we would not know what hit us (on coming accident) becoz of the trees planted on the guard rail. It is an eerie feeling realizing how what we spoke came into reality in the next few days.

I cannot help remembering movie scenes from Final Destination.... reading this news also invokes how there's no way of fooling fate nor death. 

At this moment, they do not know why the bus driver had applied emergency brake (20m skid marks) and swerved into the guard rail, going into the opposite oncoming lane. Bus driver had a clean record, bus had undergone PUSPAKOM check in May, top condition. Witness said driver was speeding, then when question again, she said she was sleeping, so how did she knew what was going on? None of the passenger was watching the road? Where was other drivers on the same lane? The bus couldn't be travelling alone.... if it was overtaking a vehicle, which was why passenger may have felt the sudden increase in speed... where was the car that may have caused the tragedy?

While we were driving along the highway, we realize a lot of traveler seem not to understand how city driving cannot be applied on a long distance highway travel. 

There's people who hog the fast lane, people just waltz into the fast lane when there's vehicle coming behind them at a crazy 160km/h .... overtaking at the worst possible timing.... huge vehicle travelling at crazy speed.... there's just too many people with Kopi-O licenses being allowed driving in Malaysia. Driving like they own the road, not even concern with other ppl safety. It is just an attitude problem. Even if the speed limit was 90km/h or even 60km/h.... if you still have clueless idiots on the road ... there's just no point.

Here's my two cents ;

1) Stricter driving license exam. Longer trial/probation period. People with less than 1 year driving experience should not be allowed on highways. Hence, the need to upgrade our public transport. Komuter tu ganti ler... dah ketinggalan zaman la.

2) Teach the different btw city driving & long distance highway travelling.

3) Teach ppl to be considerate. A lot of accidents happens becoz ppl are selfish and are inconsiderate.

4) Show gruesome footage of accidents, drill into student's mind of what WILL happen if you are not responsible. When you are at the steering wheel, you decide the safety of your passenger, you are also responsible of other people on the road that is NOT your family too. THIS CAN & WILL happen to YOU if you/other ppl are not careful on the road.

5) Mental pscyhological exams. Ppl with tendency to get 'amok', bully tendencies, inconsiderate SHOULD NOT be allowed to be in the driver seat at all.

6) Cars should have those GPS/black box. For all, or at least for new drivers... to check on their driving pattern. 

Apa lagi... aku pon tak tahu.... all i know setakat saman org speeding IS NOT helping the situation.

We all pray we have a long life, blessed by Allah... AMIN.

Saya demammm.... (sebot ala2 Wonderpets)

on MSN MY Life & style Street Snaps

The last time I was approached by a reporter (from R*T*M) was in UNIMAS while having lunch at the canteen. They were asking student's opinion on bully, ragging among university students. So, I gave them my honest opinion.... guess what, they instead told me to look at the camera & said something else (in contrast of my opinion)... made 'my' comments more 'politically correct'. Basically aku kata, Memang ada di mana2... But they told me, Jangan kata gitu..... kata la tak ada dahhh...

What the hell?


Well, thank God I never got to see the footage of lies.

On a lighter note, whilst I was chatting with fellow blogger at the recent Vaseline/Nuffnang party last week, a pretty petite lady approached me, introduced herself as Ain Ahmad from MSN. In my heart, I was expecting to give opinion ke apa like that, but instead she wanted to take a picture. Can you imagine out of the sudden ppl asked like that.... Terus mati kutu, nervous giler! Luckily it was just a short one, she then explained where to find the event cover story on MSN website...

MSN Malaysia Fashion Website

So there u go.... I'm on MSN Life & Style! Woah.... Aku rasa Ain touch up/ photo shop muka aku skit la... hahaha!

Berbaloi juga aku pergi shopping bersama hubby & kids kat Sunway Mutiara. I really love that green baju.
Ini pula rare pic (unintentional) by fellow blogger Vincent, of me n hubby by the bar area. Thanks Vince, for letting me borrow this pic!

Spaghetti Aglio Olio

Slalu sgt asyik mac & cheese, spaghetti bolognese..... arini kita buat aglio olio pulok.
But instead of using olive oil, i guna butter... i find it to be less oily... Then, my chilly flakes pulak dah berkulat, so I substitute wiv fresh cilly ajo.... resultnya, ok laa.... tak magnifique sangat... but something different la skit.

Post Party Vaseline

ENjoy betol smlm ... made friends ( Hazlina , Joey & Shariffa) ...  jumpa NUffnang team... great performance by Yuna... great comedian... cuci mata tgk blogger wanita punya dressing! Food pon sedaaap.
Sapa pernah pi Luna Bar mesti tahu view sana cantik. buleh nampak KLCC punya 'bumbung'...

Apa masalahnya skarang?

Aku tak dapat snap satu ekor pics pon.... kamera ilang tanpa kesan... fon camera plak tertinggal masa off load anak2 kat my parents....

MMhhhhhh! Hampes..

But lucky us, Timothy from Nuffnang was kind enough to take a pic with us & with Yuna too... siap email soft copy to us. How cool is that?

Anyway, balik umah baru la berkesempatan nak berfotografi... itu pon ngan anak2 tercinta yg masih blom todor when we arrived home about 11++.

In Love wiv Strawberry Cheese Cake

Normally I dun really love cheese cake... i feel it is too heavy, sour... and rasa pening2 lepas makan..... mcm rasa lepas isap cheap curut.... or rokok daun....

But... a lot of people go crazy after it.... so does my hubby. But i'm a choc cake lover. So, slalunya when I make choc cake, me & d kids wud eat most of it... Kalu make cheese cake, my hubby wud finish off the whole tray! But lucky me, my sis in law gave me her recipe... i tried it, & it turn out just nice for me & hubby to eat. It's light (but not as light as Japanese Cotton Cheese cake) ... it is not too sour, it is sweeten with the strawberry yoghurt...& limau kasturi instead of lemon... Haaa.... sumthing the whole family can eat. Even d kids love it.
Here's the link to my sis in law recipe blog http://ezpzcooking.blogspot.com/

Pandai2 la modify to your taste... nak add jam or fresh fruits


Here's the pic of the cake... the last slice... the rest dah abis...  The Ferrero Rondnoir is just my dose of chocolate addiction.

Preparation untuk Kenduri Vaseline

Haaa.... pada member2 yg rapat dah taw kan cek nak pi kenduri mlm ni kan...

Punya la excited gilerr... sampai tak leh tidoq. Dah lama tak rasa thrill cam ni, kalot gi cari baju baru, kaler rambot la.... seingat aku la, aku excited cam ni was 9 years ago... time baru bercinta hangat. Nak kuor dating... Nasib baik hubby sporting, layan je prangai aku yang teruja kalah org nak pergi Emmy Awards. Ikot la aku pi boutique to boutique kat Sunway D'sara tu... heret budak 2 ekoq tu.... At last, aku choose baju yg aku boleh recycle pakai few ways... ala long cardigan or mcm long dress. Warnanya tak menonjol sgt, I wish they had it in white... but warna tu and black je ada.... terpaksa la pilih ijau malap tu.... Kenduri ni ada tema warna.... pilih ijau, pink, puteh or kunen aje.

Ni plak gamba aku testing salon baru, ada 40% off all services! So, tadi reasonable gak la pricing dier.... but hasil nya... nnt korang tgk... ini gamba in process bleaching sambil steam otak... Muka pucat coz aku tak make up langsong.... nak cepat.

Anyways, saja tak leh tidoq... so aku upload gambaq preview preparation aku for the kenduri yah... Doakan aku slamat sampai & pulang.. Meet up new cool friends, and PARTY! Ada Yuna, ada Jojo Struys.... Eeeiii... excited weiii! First time gi function cengini.... Slalunya produk launching IT kat Hotel aja... itu pakai kena la formal kan... tak kan mcm nak pi terima anugerah plaks.... unless ko '101' aahahaha!

Fishy Feast

Smlm my parents cam for lunch. So, aku pon buat la ;

Fried Siakap With Soy Sauce...

Konon nak potong ikan jadi butterly cut, alih2 jadi cam ikan penyet ajo.... alahaiiii.

Hodoh benor ropa ikan ku, terpaksa guna skill hias garnish kasi elok skit.

BUT, nasib baik rasanya ok... sold out ikan siakap aku nie.... alhamdullilah.
