To err is human

my asus EE PC

oh my... i just recklessly spend my money on new Asus Eee PC( http://www.laptopmag.com/review/laptops/asus-eee-pc-1015pem.aspx#axzz175Ddmg00) ... something that i can stuff into my handback easily without have to bring that heavy and bulky laptop bag. with currently 3 laptops and 1 desktop computer ( all uptodate spec) at home, another netbook is the last thing i should buy... but i still buy it.... cannot help... cannot help...

easy to be a good parent, difficult to be a good child

i certainly agree with that. As a parent we always want to give the best to our kids. The best education, the school, the best food, clothing and the best etc. We are willing to do all thos kind of BEST thing, nobody need to force us. Failing to fulfill the BEST thing will make us feel that we are a bad , ignorent, irresponsible parents.

BUT how many time we try to give the BEST thing to our parents? we are so busy with our life until one simple call to say "HOW ARE U" everyday becomes so hard to fulfill.Yeah it sure make us feel guilty but we keep on continue with our life... forgiving ourselves... for leaving our parents behind ( well a lil bit, but still behind).

If our parents sick( minor sickness), then normally if we live away from them , we will just call and ask how they are. And will call any siblings who live nearby to check for our parents and bring them to hospital or clinic. Why cant we ourslve, drop anything that we are currently doing and visit them? What is more important than 2 people that brought us to life? And if the sibling who stay nearer cannot entertain our request to look after the parents or send the parents to hospital, we tend to get mad and probably say " That's the advantage of having someone near , just bring mother/father to clinic, it cant be that difficult!!". Yes, Its easy but we never do it ourselves.

If we live near to them, we still will be very busy with our live. but when a sibling who live away called we will say, i've look after them, but what else you expect me to do? i also have my own life and kids...why dont you yourselves come back and attend them for yourselve? if you are busy i am busy tooo...hmmmm... that's normally happen...

but if our kid is sick, we will definitely send them to clinic right away. we can took emergency leave to excuse from work to take care of them.

Ark kena pukau??

Lama betul tak mengupdate blog ambo ni... maklumla... buzzy le katakan... hehehe.. cerita ni my hubby dah cerita dari last week lagi tapi memang tak sempat nak didokumentasikan..

aku ni kalo time kurang buzzy sket hari jumaat suka ikut hubby pegi semayang jumaat kat masjid bayan baru , tapi hubby je la semayang jumaat,selalunya seperti biasa pompuan cam aku ni apa lagi melepak kat sunshine la.. cuci2 mata tengok beg ke kasut ke.. kalau tak dapat beli dapat tengok pun jadi la...

ceritanya pasal sorang akak tu yang modus operandinya sama cam aku jugak. time husband dia semayang jumaat dia pun lepak le sengsorang kat sunshine. Nak dijadikan cerita datangla mamat indonesia ni tepuk bahu dia. Terus akak ni terpisah dari dunia luar..tapi sebelum tu sempat jugak dia SMS husband dia cakap dia takut. bila husband dia pegi cari kat sunshine memang tak de... sampai la 3 hari kemudia lepas husbandnya pegi jumpa sorang ustaz tu..barula akak ni dijumpai kat dalam sunshine dengan baju yang dia pakai hari hilang tu, dengan barang2 shopping dia hari tu..tapi kasut dah hilang. rupanya sepanjang 3 hari tu akak tu tak pegi mana pun ada dalam sunshine tu jugak..tapi orang yang mencari semua tak nampak. sekang ni akak tu tengah berubat sebab walaupun dia dah sedar masa dijumpai tu tapi lepas tu dia jadi cam murung dan terganggu.

herankan.. tapi ni citer betul.. aku tanya gak hubby ..buat ape pulak mamat tu pukau2 pastu tinggal cam tu je. kata hubby aku menurut ustaz tu mungkin orang ni ingat akak tu perempuan single kot..so jadi mamat ni mungkin ada niat nak menjadikan akak ni mesin cetak duit dia...ye la bila dah kena pukau .. penat2 keja pun boleh bagi duit kat dia.. tapi lepas tu dia tahu akak ni ada husband sebab tu dia tinggal cam tu je. entahla..hanya mamat tu dan Allah je yang tahu apa niatnya

so kengkawan sesiapa yang jalan sorang2 kat mana2 harap berhati2 sikit. kalau dengar cerita kosong atau cerita o je aku mmg susah nak percaya tapi ini datangnya dari sumber yang sah...

nota: sunshine adalah supermarket kat sebelah masjid bayan baru

Let go and live a life

How hard to let go? sometimes when we thought it's impossible to erase the memories of the past, what we need to do is not to erase.

"Forgiving does not erase the bitter past. A healed memory is not a deleted memory. Instead, forgiving what we cannot forget creates a new way to remember. We change the memory of our past into a hope for our future." quote by Lewis B.Smedes

Indeed it is. By forgiving we can let go.By letting go we can cary on with our life. and by letting go we can live a life to the fullest , without regret and hesitation

The Suluk lunch

Yesterday was the 2nd day we're in Kota Kinabalu Sabah for my BIL wedding. We went to pasar besar kota Kinabalu and have the suluk lunch there ( upstairs)
The dish is made from 'ikan yu' or shark.some people call it serunding ikan yu.eventhough shark has a very 'fish' smell a lot of turmeric and other spices has eliminate the smell away.sorry for the not so good picture. it was taken using my samsung omnia hp as we dont want to take out the big camera coz my hubby dont want to be seem like tourist at his own place...:-) This is Gamai, a type of seaweed. It taste a lil bit salty and eaten with sour sambal belacan or lime juice.
sambal kicap eaten with gamai
And this is another type of seaweed. called birdnest seaweed. the suluks eat by mixing this seaweed with young mango or bambangan( a very sourish mango like fruit) I never get this one prounce right it is called kilau? kemilau? or kunilau or none of this.its basically raw fish of any type , in this case mackerel, soak for while in the hot boling water and mix it with mango , onion , lime juice and salt to taste. yes, it has a very strong fish smell.

junctions of life

"at a position like you, you need to prepare yourself to do things that sometimes you dont want to do.." said my boss to me one day. Just now i did that, i just talk to my subordinate about moving him to one area that many people dun want to go and move him from a very comfortable place, working in normal working hours to shift.I feel bad about that but i really have no choice. I am glad that i never have to fire anybody yet so far. But i know sooner or later the moment will come and i've to do it.hmm..life... sometimes throwing us to junctions ..and we need to choose no matter how reluctant we are...

Beluru dan syampoo

Hari ni tetiba teringat pasal satu pokok yang dulu2 masa kecik selalu guna. korang pernah tak mandi pakai beluru? beluru ni sejenis tumbuhan memanjat. akarnya besar dan berkayu. kalau kat belah-belah kedah orang kat sini panggil akar sintok. rasanya kalau daerah lain lain pulak namanya. masa balik KK pun banyak jumpa orang jual beluru ni kat tamu.masa kecik dulu kat tanah ayah aku ada sebatang pokok beluru ni yang sangat besarnya. Pokok tu tumbuh dalam kebun getah. so biasa la masa dulu2 kat situ la tempat kitorang adaik beradik main tarzan-tarzan. pokok tu kiranya menjadi rebutanla.sebab masa tu akar beluru yang kering ni dijual orang dipasar dengan harga rm0.50 sekeping yang tak de la besar mana sangat. selalu la ada orang2 yang tidak berkenaan masuk ke dalam kekebun ayahku itu untuk mengambil aka mencuri beluru ni. Kitorang tak kisah sangat pun...ambikla.. bukannya habis pun. hingga ada suatu hari seseorang yang tamak telah memotong terus pokok tersebut. sungguh zalim betul...nak kaya cepat la tu... matila pokok tu tapi sekarang ada lagi anaknya yang tumbuh menggantikan pokok tersebut tapi tak le besar yang yang dah mati tu.
kata mak aku orang dulu-dulu kalau abis period (haid) akan mandi hadas dan gunakan beluru ni sebagai syampoo.kulit batang beluru ni yang berkayu akan diketuk hingga hancur. ala-ala kita ketuk serai nak buat masak tu la. pastu kulit batang yang dah hancur ni disiat2 dalam air hingga keluarkan buih. tapi buih ni tak le banyak cam buit syampoo tu tapi banyak la jugak. Buih dan air ni digunakan sebagai syampoo untuk menghilangkan daki dan kotoran pada rambut. aku pun selalu guna jugak dulu cuma sekang ni bila dah tinggal kat bandar ni tak pernah dah buat menda2 ni.

korang nak tahu lebih lanjut pasal beluru ni boleh pi ke melur.com .

My spectra 3 breastfeeding pump

After struggling for more than 2 months using the pureen battery operated pump lastly i purchase this spectra 3 electric pump which is soooo covenient and comfortable.After search around for a good and worth to buy price lastly i bought the pump from http://www.enjoybreastfeed.com/ at rm338.They have the merdeka sale and give discount , original price is rm458. it's really worth buying coz they even give the extra shield for double pumping. i order it on sunday and get the unit on tuesday morning which very fast considering the fact that the shop is in KL while i am in penang. I tried to search around in penang, baby paradise in greenlane sell the unit at rm360 and charge the extra shield for another rm 50 which will end up i have to pay rm410.

i can say this is the best pump i've ever used . last time for the last 3 babies i used avent pump, which was good and convenient to but quite slow compare to this one. after my third child i gave the unit away to my sister who used it for only a month and misplaced it. that's why have to buy the new one lar....:-(

so today after using it for 4 days i really satisfied with it performance and the production output also increase..hehehe...

Spectra 3 breast pump's lightweight feature make it easy to carry with the specially designed travel bag together with the cooler bag that allows mother to accommodate breast pump, accessories and milk in only one bag. Spectra 3 breast pump is also providing quiet operation compared to other electric breast pumps thus Spectra 3 is minimizing the disturbance to mother who wish to express breast milk in office or while traveling.

Hadith :
Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya:”Allah mengutuk wanita yang bertatu atau minta ditatu, wanita yang mencukur alis dan mereka yang meminta dicukur alis mereka, wanita yang membentuk giginya agar kelihatan cantik dan mereka yang mengubah ciptaan Allah.”
Riwayat Ibnu Mas’ud

Huraian
i) Maksud mengubah ciptaan Allah s.w.t. ialah membuat perubahan pada ciptaan Allah S.W.T yang telah sempurna secara pandangan umum dan adat atas dasar tidak berpuas hati dengan anugerah itu, bukan kerana memperbaiki atau memulihkan kecacatan.

ii) Mencabut bulu kening yang merupakan anugerah dan ciptaan Allah S.W.T. yang sempurna dan membuat atau melukis bulu kening yang baharu selepas itu agar menepati cita rasa sendiri supaya kelihatan lebih cantik, menawan dan bergaya adalah perbuatan yang haram di sisi Islam.

iii) Jika perbuatan mencabut bulu kening itu disebabkan ia tumbuh berselerak dan tidak kemas yang amat teruk, maka hal ini tidaklah termasuk dalam erti kata mengubah ciptaan Allah S.W.T. Lagipun jika yang dicabut itu hanyalah yang berselerak dan bukan termasuk bulu yang dipanggil kening serta tidak membuat lukisan semula terhadapnya. Ini dilakukan atas dasar menjaga kekemasan diri bukan kerana tidak puas hati dengan ciptaan Allah S.W.T kerana Allah S.W.T itu cantik dan sukakan kecantikan.

iv) Hanya rawatan ke atas penyakit yang tidak boleh sembuh dengan sendirinya sahaja yang diharuskan seperti memasang gigi palsu di tempat gigi yang rongak (bukan mematahkan gigi dan menggantikannya dengan yang lain), mengatur susunan gigi yang tidak tersusun (tapi bukan mengasah atau mengikir), memakai ubat supaya rambut tumbuh di tempat yang botak (bukan memakai rambut palsu), memakai ubat untuk membuang jeragat pada kulit (bukan membuat pembedahan plastik atau memakai bahan kimia untuk menukar warna kulit), memakai inai, syampu atau gel pada rambut atau janggut supaya lebih segar dan terurus (bukan mewarnakannya dengan cat atau spray) dan sebagainya sebagai perbezaan antara merawat/menjaga keaslian ciptaan Allah S.W.T dengan mengubah ciptaan-Nya di mana merawat/menjaga itu adalah HARUS manakala mengubahnya adalah HARAM.

v) Diri manusia dan segala makhluk di alam ini adalah hak mutlak Allah S.W.T, Oleh itu kita hendaklah mematuhi segala hukum dan kehendak agama dengan baik. Janganlah tertipu dan terpengaruh dengan tabiat orang yang suka menurut hawa nafsunya disebabkan sikap tidak bersyukur dan tidak berpuas hati dengan ciptaan dan anugerah Allah di mana sikap ini sebenarnya merupakan sikap yang diwarisi daripada syaitan.

halal vs non-halal

Hubby aku selalu cakap patutnya kat malaysia ni selain dari tanda halal sepatutnya kena ada tanda tak halal jugak. Baru ada clear cut.. bukannya gray area tak tahu halal ke haram.selalu banyak kita tengok restoran2 yang tulis pork free ( tak de khinzir, bukannya khinzir free..:-)) . kalau muslim yang strict selalunya takkan masuk kedai2 camni tapi yang cincai2 tu banyak la yang masuk. yang tak de pork je.. bekalan ayam , daging disembelih dengan cara betul ke? ada alkohol ke tak dalam masakan? mana kita tahu. Berapa banyak dah makanan yang tidak halal tapi kita tak tahu masuk dalam perut kita ni?

then tadi lecturer aku pun cakap benda yang sama... halal and non halal... senang tak payah confuse2. kalau tak dapat halal certification from jakim maknanya tak halal la tu... means they have to stick the non-halal logo kat premis diorang. market diorang tetap ada from non- muslim dan kalau diorang nak sangat market dari orang islam... make it halal la...aiyooo...is that difficult?

JAKIM ada sediakan website untuk kita tentukan product tu halal atau tidak. the list might be not so comprehensive but i hope they keep on updating it. Its a good deed and may Allah blessed them.

aku dah bosan! ... aku dah bosan!

memang bosan betul ni.. asyik lari jer maid ni.. ada masuk dalam diorang punya job scope kot lari ni.yang aku peliknya dah le masa selongkar beg diorang masa memula datang tu tak de ape.. duit tak de handphone tak de.. tapi boleh pulak lari...oh sungguh penat.datang maid baru nak kena ajar itu ini balik... tup2 lari lagi..camni aku rela tidak bermaid la.. buat sakit kepala je.

Wahai kerajaan!!!..strictla sikit..berapa ramai employer yang teraniaya ngan all the runaway bibiks ni... macam common sangat bibik lari ni...depa peduli apa ada passport ke tak...ada nya nanti org ambik keja...

note: sudahlah lari, satu bekas barang kemas yang aku simpan hubby bagi dari mula2 kerja sampai sekarang pun kena sapu. rasanya lebih dari 10k dalam tu.. Y-Y

Parenthood start to be complicated

actually i want to talk about my kids, but since now my eldest has become a follower of my blog and she always read my blog...so cannot talk about her here anymore looo....:-)

i notice that recently parenthood has become a lil bit complicated. when kids are small, what you need to do is just to fullfill their basic need. But reaching teenage years there are so many things to think about.hmmm... hard to write in general...but cannot go in specific...:P

my daughter always nagging me to open her facebook account ibut i dont allow ( not yet) so last night i create a blog for her to write everyday.

Semalam aku buat nasik tomato...versi aku la.. main campak2 jer.Tapi ok la... jadilah nasik tomato jugak... makan dengan ayam masak merah yang kurang pedas sebab kebanyakan isi rumah aku ni alergik pada pedas... pedas sikit pun dah terasa. tapi tak sempat nak snap picture sebab dimakan dengan cepatnya sebaik sahaja masak... hehehe... kena pulak hubby bakar ayam dan kambing. aku buat kerabu tomato to go with ayam panggang tu...jadi gambar nasik tomato dan ayam masak merah ni dipinjam dari sumber lain... tapi hasil yang aku buat tu pun kelihatan lebih kurang ngan gambar ni gak..ahaks..

Priority Ranking

One of my friend once bugging me with this. She said," husband aku tu kalau aku sakit buat derk je ..hampas tak ajak aku pegi klinik pun...tapi kalau kakak dia, adik dia, mak dia demam selsema sikit pun macam huru hara je dunia. kalut bawa pegi klinik pastu sejam sekali tanya dah ok ke, demam lagi ke...sampai orang yang ditanya itu pun naik rimas..." hehehehe...

who is in the same boat? raise your hand...its common, right ... i think the priority ranking goes with years..the longer you in the relationship the lower the ranking goes. Bak kata orang, masa bercinta kalau tersepak batu batu disalahkan tapi kalau dah kawin kita pulak yang buta sebab tak nampak batu tu...biasa la tu .. tapi fikir-fikir balik mungkin kita pun buat benda yang sama kat spouse kita.. kalau sakit sikit2 tu buat derk je.. alah bukannya teruk pun demam sket je esok2 baik la tu....cuma kadang2 kalau kerap sangat demam bawa2 la berjumpa doktor mana la tahu melarat pulak...:-)

ironically, even kita macam nampak tak peduli sangat ngan spouse kita tapi sebenarnya dioranglah yang paling dekat dalam hidup kita. we share most things that we dont even share with our parent or siblings.tapi , benarlah kata orang putih, blood is always thicker that water, orang melayu kata air dicincang takkan putus. Walaupun serapat mana kita dengan pasangan kita ikatan itu boleh terlerai 100% berbanding dengan ikatan darah yang takkan putus sampai bila-bila.

tapi for me menda2 remeh cam tak ajak gi klinik , tak tanya dah makan ke belum, telupa bday dan anniversary and so on...tak payahlah dipanjang2kan. kita pun kengkadang terbuat menda yang sama jugak. kalau kita yang pompuan ni pun boleh terbuat apatah lagi orang lelaki yang selalunya selalu sambil lewa jer..(cuma geram tu memang geram jugak kan? sabar je lah...hehehe...) tapi janganlah di amalkan selalu sebab hati kita ni bukan plastik..tapi umpama gelang getah... sekali diregangkan ia akan kembali kebentuk asal, tapi bila lama2 dan selalu sangat diregangkan , maka akan putuslah ia...kalau dah putus dah tak de gunanya lagi...

dah kalau dah kata sayang tu apa salahnya sekali sekali tunjuk kita care...susah senang kita selalu pasangan kitalah yang akan selalu bersama2 kita.

here's a few quotes on care yang aku kutip merata-rata dan sesetengahnnya aku sendirik pun tak paham :
"If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded."
Maya Angelou
"Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you. "
Wayne Dyer
"Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care."
Theodore Roosevelt

puding caramel or puding gula hangus

Heh.. ni la resepi puding paling mudah nak disediakan.ingat kalau susah2 aku nak buat ke.. bukannya rajin sangat.aku buat puding ni untuk buka posa semalam.posa ganti sebab last year conceived masa raya...so sempat ganti 3 hari je tahun lepas sebelum morning sickness menyerang...tak sempat abis posa syawal pon sebab tak larat sesangat. since now baru abis pantang kena memulun ganti posa la... nasib baik sempat.

bahan2nya
1. 6 biji telur
2. 1 tin susu pekat manis, kurangkan kalau tak suka manis sangat.
3. 1 sudu teh esen vanila
4. 3 sudu makan tepung kastard, kalau tak letak pun tak pe tapi puding jadi kureng gebu sket.
5. 3 sudu makan gula untuk caramel
campur semua benda, kecuali gula dan pukul sekejap.aku guna mixer no satu , pukul dalam 2,3 minit. dengan setin susu pekat puding ni memang manis, tambah lak ngan caramel tu nanti , lagi manis.

aku guna loyang / bekas kek bulat sebagai acuan. aku panaskan terus 3 sudu gula tadi dlm loyang ni atas dapur gas... hitam la sket loyang tu tapi tak pe boleh basuh punya lepas ni... panaskan gula sampai cair dan perang, jangan lama sangat dah perang tu stop la nanti pahit sangat pulak caramel tu. angkat loyang tu, biar caramel tu mengeras dlm loyang.

masukkan bahan yang dipukul dlm loyang dan kukus selama 30-45 minit. sampai masak la kiranya. masa tak tentu depend pada pengukus anda.. pengukus letrik mungkin cepat lagi...aku pakai kukus conventional je. dah masak nanti telungkupkan acuan tadi atas pinggan besar untuk keluarkan puding. caramel tadi akan cair dan jadi sos dibahagian atas puding ni... cuba la.. mahai tau diorang jual kat pasar ramadan ... 1 keping 2 ringgit, yang ni dapat dalam 8 - 10 keping tau.kos nak sediakan ni tak sampai 5 ringgit pon.

breastfeeding is not easy

i always salute and respect any working mom who could exclusively breastfeed their baby up to 2 years. Being a mom i know that's not easy. we need to be full of determination to reach that level.to give the best to our beloved children we need to really sacrifice.

since i deliver my first child more than 10 years ago, i want to breasfeed her. but at that time there were not much support for breastfeeding working mother.yeah... there were pamplets everywhere but not much support and encouragement.plus the babysitter who dont want to go through the hassle to prepare the breast milk... so i end up breastfeeding her for less than 6 months, a decision that i regret until now.Since the gap between my 2nd and 3rd one was close, i conceived my 3rd baby when my 2nd was 9 months, the breasfeeding for the 2nd one stop there.Having a history of miscarriage its kind of dangerous to continue breastfeed as the ovary contracted more during breastfeeding session.but before conceived,for 3 months, i practiced tandem breastfeeding as at that time i took care of my little niece which is 2 months younger than my 2nd baby coz her mom, which is my younger sis was sick. both of them breastfeed on me.

for the 3rd one i really determined to exclusively breastfeed her. But fate do its job and Allah knows whats better. when the baby was 5 months old I was diagnosed with a fatal illness that need me to go through one year course of a very strong antibiotic daily and prohibit me from continue breasfeed the baby.

so for this fourth one... i really hope i can... i want to go through any obstacle that hinder me from continue, unless it is dangerous for the baby. Allah, please give me strength, Amin

That's why i was really mad last night after came back from my class and found that the maid gave formula milk to my baby while there tons of breastmilk stock in the fridge....grrrrrrr....

Budu Tumis

Hehehehe... since posting aku sebelum ni berkisar pasal budu .. ni aku nak share satu resepi budu tumis yang lazat. dulu2 masa kecik kami ni orang susah... budu ni kira makanan ruji kami la... abis kalau pagi makan budu tengahari budu, mlm budu gak maunya termuntah budu. jadi budu ni dipelbagaikan cara masakannya tak de la makan cam tu je.

Bahan-Bahan:
3 sudu makan budu (sebarang jenama)
4 ulas bawang merah (ditumbuk halus)
3 ulas bawang putih (ditumbuk halus)
Sebatang serai (diketuk)
3 biji cili kering (jika suka)(ditumbuk)
minyak untuk menumis
Cara:
Panaskan minyak dan masukkan bahan-bahan yang ditumbuk. Panaskan seketika sehingga naik baunya.Masukkan budu dan tumis sehingga naik minyak.

sedap ni... try deh... makan ngan nasik panas dan ulam2...bau budu yang kuat tu hilang bila ditumis.

fakta: budu adalah makruh...

makan durian dengan budu?...euwww!!!

Pernahkan anda terfikir nak makan durian dengan budu? dapat imagine cammana rasanya durian yang manis dimakan dengan budu yang masin? tapi kalau demo ore kelate ...biasa la makan durian ngan budu ngan nasik... kena pulak dengan ikan singgang ..perghhh.... sedap beb. semalam aku bagitau kat bapak mertuaku org kelantan makan durian ngan budu. kebetulan masa tu anakku tengah makan nasik ngan budu dan bapa mertuaku tengah makan durian. tiba2 bapa mertua ku kata" meh bapak nak try cammana rasanya..." terus dia cicah durian kat tangannya dalam budu dan makan.... euwwww...!!! tak dapat kubayangkan rasanya. kalau makan ngan nasik tu lainla...

durian yang makan ngan budu ngan nasik tu bukan tempoyak tau ..tapi durian fresh yang manis dan lemak tu... korang nak tau cammana rasanya? try la... budu sekang dah ada kat carrefour.. dan boleh di beli dikedai2 runcit berhampiran....:-)

sebenarnya budu ni punya la banyak kegunaannya dalam kehidupan. aku pernah makan buah mangga muda (buah pauh) ngan budu ni. ada member aku orang johor terkejut badak melihatnya ...tapi bila aku ajak dia makan sekali...dia pulak yang berlebih-lebih. makan buah mangga ngan budu. letak gula banyak2, then letak cili api... sedappp..hehehe. tapi semenjak tua ni aku dah tak minat nak makan mangga muda dah... taste bud aku dah tak boleh terima buah2 yang sangat masam itu kecuali buah kelubi. buah kelubi ni pun sodap amat kalau makan ngan budu.

a place called home

Home is where the heart belong to. so they said. a home is a place where we wanna be.a shelter from any unpleasure in life. Sometimes i just wonder, will a place called home to us will also be a home to our kids? And the home itself is it include us as a parent in it?.Do they treasure our presence or enjoy our absence?

this is the story i've read so many years back when i was not a mom yet but it always keep on dwelling in my mind now and then. So i dig the book and copy it here. its from the book: chicken soup for the mothers soul 2. here is the story:

The day i become mom

You cannot discover new ocean unless you have the courage to lose sight of the shore

The day i become a mom not the day my daughter was born, but seven years later. Up until that day,i have been too busy trying to survive my abusive marriage. I have spent all my energy trying to run a "perfect" home that would pass inspection each evening, and i didn't see that my baby girl has become a toddler.i'd tried endlessly to please someone who could never be pleasedand suddenly i realized that the years has slipped by and could never be recaptured.

Oh, i had done the normal "motherly" things, like making sure my daughter go to ballet and tap and gym lesson.I went to all of her recitals and school concerts, parent-teacher confrence and open houses-alone. I ran interference during my husband rages when something was spilled at the dinner table, telling her , "It will be okay , Honey, Daddy's not really mad at you," I did all i could to protect her from hearing then awful shouting and accusations after he returned home from a night of drinking.Finally i did the best thing i could do for my daughter and myself: I removed us from the home that wasnt really a home at all.

The day i become a mom was the day my daughter and i were sitting in our new home having a calm, quiet dinner just as i always wanted for her.We were talking about what she had done in school and suddenly her little hand knocked over the full glass of chocolate milk by her plate.As i watched the white tablecloth and freshly painted white wall become dark brown, i looked at her small face. It was filled with fear , knowing what the outcome of the event would have meant a week before in her father presence. When i saw the look on her face and looked down at the chocolate milk running down the wall i simply started laughing. I am sure she taught i was crazy, but then she must have realized that i was thinking " its good that your father is not here!". She started laughing with me , and we laughed until we cried. They were tears of joy and peace and were the first of many tears that we cried together.That was the day we knew that we were going to be okay.

Whenever either of us spills something, even now seventeen years later, she says " remember the day i spilled the chocolate milk?i knew that day that you had done the right thing for us , and i will never forget it"

That was the day i really become a mom. I discovered that being a mom isnt only going to ballet, and tap and gym recitals, and attending every school concerts and open house. It isnt keeping the spotless house and preparing perfect meals.It certainly isnt pretending things are normal when they are not. For me , being a mother started when i could laugh over a spilled milk.

sambal belacan - versi bibikku

ni sambal belacan versi bibikku. mula2 dia sampai umah aku aku dah cakap aku tak pernah expect dia untuk masak sebab aku memang masak sendiri walaupun ada bibik. tapi agaknya oleh kerana nak menunjukkan skill dia dia telah membuat sambal belacan versinya( heheheh... tak baik la aku ni...). pada aku sambal belacan malaysia lagi besh...aku tengok cara bibik buat sambal.

bahan2
1. 10 biji cili padi masak
2. seinci belacan
3. sebiji tomato
4. 3 ulas bawang merah
5. sedikit garam

goreng semua benda2 diatas pastu tumbukla...sambal ni memang pekat sket.airnya dan rasa masamnya dari tomato je..hati2 masa menumbuk nanti terpercik masuk mata pulak sebab tomato tu berair.

sambal belacan versi 1

entrance ni aku tulis sebab my hubby suh tulis blog pasal sambal. 2 ,3 hari lepas aku ada buat sambal belacan then masa makan tu la my hubby cakap sambal tu sedap... ngeh, ngeh... then dia ckp bagus jugak kalau kita dapat compile pelbagai jenis sambal.

so ni aku nak share sambal belacan versi aku yang begitu mudah tapi sedap.

bahan2nya:
1. 5-10 biji cili padi
2. seinci belacan dibakar dulu
3. 2 biji cili kering , direbus atau rendam ngan air panas
4. 2 biji limau kasturi
5. sedikit garam dan gula

belasah blend je semua tu dengan sedikit air masak. limau tu belah 2 pastu buang biji, blend sekali ngan kulit2 dia baru wangi dan sedap.

*** amaran!! org ada resdung jgn makan belacan

sick

today is the 46th day after the delivery and ive past my confinement period. bad headache and not so mild but not so heavy fever today. last night my baby woke up 6 times through out the night and i've to wake up to breastfeed with the heavy head. try to get some afternoon nap today but still fail...

When i was young i spent most of my life in hostel. everytime i got fever, my mother was the only person i need badly at my side. Even now, fever will bring most of my thought to my mother. and even its just a little fever, when we sick we normally think about death..in a sense , its good for us to be reminded.sometimes i just wonder, will somebody cry if i die? will i be remembered and thought in their pray?

there was 1 poem that started with " life is a mixture..." that keep lingering in my head today. life is a mixture of happiness, torment , sad , happy, laugh and tears. Whichever bigger portion determine the life we lead.

Plant Hospital

Normally when a plant is dying what i did is i cover the whole plant with a big plastic bag. Including the pot if the plant is small or only the top part ( the part with leave or where the leave should be). Give the plant 1 or 2 weeks and the new healthy shoot will grow. The purpose of cover it with plastic bag is to give the plant as much moisture to accelerate the new shoot growth.

Then i read in a book "ingenious gardening" by Deborah L. martin, another way to treat sick plant is by using a plastic soda bottle... you know, soft drink big plastic bottle. With a sharp knife , cut 2 liter plastic bottle into half. We will use the top part as the hospital. Put the top part over the sick plant. it will act like a mini terrarium for the plant.

plants in the drawer

we might have old wooden drawers to scrap. This wooden drawers can be use as a planter for our plant. Drill drainage holes in the bottom.We can also use the drawers for rooting cutting.The idea also fit for growing veggie.

Gunakan laci lama sebagai bekas menanam

Mungkin kat rumah kita ada laci lama ( paling elok laci kayu) daripada kabinet atau almari yang kita tak nak gunakan lagi. Daripada dibuang begitu sahaja kita boleh gunakan laci ini sebagai bekas untuk tanaman. tebuk lubang pada dasar laci untuk saliran.Kita juga oleh gunakan laci ni sebagai tapak semaian.

mummy to 4 daughters

Hi, its has been a while since my last posting.Today is my 15 day after delivery and every mother should know that the whole delivery process( especially nursing the baby and nursing ourselves during confinement) are the most tiring process and drag a lot of energy and time. My 4th baby was delivered through an elective c-section on the 10th of june ( the date was my hubby's choice) . we have to schedule the operation since after the 38th weeks the baby was still in breech position and there's no chance for the position to be changed. the head was stuck near my heart causing all the heart burn and gastric through out the pregnancy. so there she is , now 15 days old, sleeping peacefully on my bed now( i think she prefer my bed rather than her baby cot)

I planned for 4 kids... :-) ..But it never cross my mind that i will have a standard package of 4 girls and no boy at all. well... think about it... 2 or 3 girls are still normal but 4 hehehe ? i came to know that i was carrying another baby girl at 6 months...the first thought that came into my mind when the doctor said , confirmed it's a girl was ...wow... i'll never know the experience of raising a boy anymore...but apart from that, everything was still as exciting as before. we enjoy doing all the shopping for the little folk ( since the gap between the third and this one is more than 5 years, many things have to be bought again) the baby cot, carrier stroller and all sort of things. we anciously waiting for the day when we'll meet her face to face

Berkenaan anak perempuan:
مَنِ ابْتُلِيَ مِنَ الْبَنَاتِ بِشَيْءٍ، فَأَحْسَنَ إِلَيْهِنَّ، كُنَّ لَهُ سِتْرًا مِنَ النَّارِ

“Barangsiapa yg diuji dgn anak perempuan kemudian ia berbuat baik pada mereka mk mereka akan menjadi penghalang bagi dari api neraka.”

Dalam riwayat dari Anas bin Malik radhiyallahu ‘anhu Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam juga menyebutkan kedekatan dgn orang tua yg memelihara anak-anak perempuan mereka dgn baik kelak pada hari kiamat:

مَنْ عَالَ جَارِيَتَيْنِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَا جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنَا وَهُوَ -وَضَمَّ أَصَابِعَهُ-

“Barangsiapa yg mencukupi keperluan dan mendidik dua anak perempuan hingga mereka dewasa maka dia akan datang pada hari kiamat nanti dlm keadaan aku dan dia ” dan beliau mengumpulkan jari jemarinya.

Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda:

مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ ثَلاَثُ بَنَاتٍ، فَصَبَرَ عَلَيْهِنَّ، وَأَطْعَمَهُنَّ، وَسَقَاهُنَّ، وَكَسَاهُنَّ مِنْ جِدَتِهِ، كُنَّ لَهُ حِجَابًا مِنَ النَّارِ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ

“Barangsiapa yg memiliki tiga orang anak perempuan lalu dia bersabar atas mereka memberi mereka makan minum dan pakaian dari harta mk mereka menjadi penghalang bagi dari api neraka kelak pada hari kiamat.”

well..apart from some ups and downs during confinement,some baby blues for the first week, difficulty to move due to operation wound, hormone inbalance and nobody to help with the baby during weekdays...having another girl is not bad ..AT ALL. And

Thank You Allah, For the greatest gift of all.

The runaway bibik.

Today is the 3rd day that ungrateful bibik run away from our house. Still, the moment wakeup early in the morning i thought i heard she's doing the cleaning downstair before i realized that stupid *** has gone away.

She was gone on exactly the 14th day she was here. It was well planned, its just us who never realized a well planned complot.sebenarnya i feel fishy on the same day i brought her home. the photo in the passport was obviously a different person. i mentioned it to my hubby but i said i can close 1 eye if she's doing a good job. she did. she wokeup as early as 5 ( only 2 times she overslept until 6:00). As i dont allow her to cook( i still cook by myself) or take care of my kids, the only task she did was just housekeeping and take care of the laundry.during weekdays we left her alone at home as the kids went to nursery after school. On the fourth day, i suspect she go out to the shop but she denied it.she said.."mana mungkin kakak... takde passport mana saya berani keluar"...(Cisss...:-)). then i thought its just my mistake as i was too cautious. i never ask her again.

one thing fishy about her was her accent. she speak a lil bit like "orang KL" but of course with indonesian accent. when asked she admit that she was in Malaysia (shah alam) for many-many years. 2 years working in the factory and a few years as bibik , taking care of old sick man in shah alam. owh... how come it was never mention in the particular that i received from the agent. the info said that this bibik never been to Malaysia and this is the firt time.

after a week we have a conversation. then i asked about her 4 months baby that she left with her sister in Medan. i asked her about how long she breastfed her baby and she said she stop only after a month.

me: sayang la bibik..kenapa kamu berenti awal..
bibik: susu tak de sendiri kak..
me: kenapa?
bibik: mungkin sebab saya mengubat orang...
me: ubat orang? kamu terkena buatan orang?
bibik: bukan, saya boleh ubatkan orang
me : macammana?
bibik: saya boleh cari orang hilang, ubatkan orang yang tak dapat anak, bagi mudah bersalin ...ada lain lagi la...
me: oooh... macammana kamu ubatkan?
bibik: saya kena kerasukan. ada benda masuk dalam badan saya.
me: benda tu kamu dapat dari mana?
bibik: nenek saya yang turunkan pada saya. sebab tu saya tak boleh solat kalau saya solat muka saya bengkak-bengkak dan kepala saya kena hantuk-hantk.
me: kalau macam tu nyata-nyata yang kamu dapat tu ilmu salah. syaitan.
bibik: tu la kak..kalau ada duit nanti saya nak buang ( honestly i dun believe her)
me: then masa kat medan kamu ubatkan orang.
bibik: ye.. tapi kat sana penat saja... tak kaya-kaya pun...orang kat sana tak macam orang kat sini ... tak de duit bagi pun sikit2 je..
me: owh..masa kat sini dulu pun kamu ada ubatkan orang?
bibik: banyak... saya pernah naik keta api dari KL ke butterworth sebab ada orang panggil untuk ubatkan dia.

Radix FC

It has been ages since the last time i update this blog. i just move my working corner from my bedroom to the working room to make way for the baby cot. with the moving i pack my home lappy into the bag and just open it yesterday. i tried, several time to post from my handphone but just cannot make myself to do it. somehow when talking about posting long blog entrance, i still need the laptop ( and a proper working corner to get the mood)

Last to week we went sungai Petani to fetch the maid. We stop and have dinner at Radix FC owned by HPA(al-wahida marketing). quite a number of people inside there( the support is ok i guess). seeing all the setting and environment of the restaurant , i m proud that its owned by one of the muslim company. At least we can guarantee that the food is 100% halal.

The taste of the food also not bad.. well..uhh... we cannot really compare it with KFC who has existed so long time ago and has gone through so many iteration of improvement. What i like most was the rozel drink that come with the value meal so you dont have to add money to change from soft drink like other fast food. But as customer, i would like to share a few of my 2 cents ( and no... i dont intent to degrade them , but i hope if somehow this feedback reach them, the company can take it as an input for improvement).

One thing , the food was cold. everything from chicken to bun and mashed potato. And you know what does a cold KFC tasted like. Sorry but i cannot finished my food. There were few other things that i want to feedback that day( now i forgot already) . I was looking around to find any feedback form ( like other new restaurant used to have but cannot find any)

i really like to see them grow. Its kinda of a good feeling to know that muslim also can run such a fastfood like that , but really if they want to move forward, there are still many thing to put into consideration.
