Alas Perut

Me : Cik Tem...u kuar opis kul berapa ni?

Cik Tem : tak tau lagi kak...husband saya kata dlm kul 5.45 kan dia sampai..kenapa?

Me : Alah, kan dinner malam ni lambat lagi..start pun kat kul 9 mlm...akak ingat nak ajak kau pi alamanda jap...cari benda nak alas perut..

Cik Tem : akak nak cari apa?

Me : Ala..benda simple2 je dulu..BURGER ke...

Cik Tem : Akak biar betul..tu bukan ALAS PERUT* tu...
(cakap sambil2 ketawa..gelakkan akak ye..mentang2 kau nak balik umah dulu...jgn lupa bawak alas perut utk akak ye)

Moral of the story...lain kali kalau nak ajak member makan alas perut, jgn sebut BURGER ye...sebut aje biskut kering..

Last-last aku makan ajelah roti butterscotch yg bawah meja ni...

* Alas perut - makan pagi, sarapan sekadar menghilangkan rasa lapar (sumber Kamus Dewan Edisi 4)

p/s: kami ada dinner malam ni kat PICC...kehadiran wajib..tu yg kena pi tu...

Janganlah kita Berhasad Dengki

Ye kawan-kawan...skrg ni kan musim org selsema...dgn saya-saya kena ni..dah dekat 2 minggu dah ni...sok sek sok sek aje hidung ni...

tapi bukan tu nak cerita...

hari ahad last week...kami pi melawat my hubby's friend di Ampang...isterinye sedang sakit ... dah banyak berubat dgn doktor tapi tak tau kenapa...skrg ni berubat cara lain pulak..and dimaklumkan sakit akibat buatan orang...

sebenarnya, dlm zaman serba moden ni, masih ada lagi manusia yg masih berbomoh bagai ni sekadar untuk memuaskan hasad dengki di hati pada manusia lain...

kesian saya melihat akak tu...yelah, berat mata kita memandang..berat lagi bahunya yg memikul..org yg membuat pun, memang dah diketahui sebab pembuat pun tidak segan silu mengaku yg sememangnye dia nak akak tu m**i aje..sebab memang dia tak senang dgn akak tu..

saya sekadar boleh meminta akak tu terus bersabar, banyak2 kan zikir...dan terus berusaha berubat..

tak lupa..saya panjangkan doa utk kesihatan dia..

and sedih bila mengingatkan betapa sanggup seseorang yg kita kenal berbuat begitu pada insan lain ... rezeki kan telah ditetapkan olehNya..rajin kita berusaha,Insyallah, bertambahlah rezeki kita..tidak perlulah hendak dengki mendengki dgn rezeki orang...teruskan usaha kita kan..daripada kita habiskan tenaga dan wang ringgit utk mengenakan orang..baiklah pi habiskan tenaga and wang ringgit tu berniaga..dapat jugak tambah rezeki kan..(sekadar ingatan utk semua dan utk diri saya juga..)

sedih...masih ternampak2 penderitaan akak tu...Insyallah, ada masa kami menziarah dia lagi..

semalam...kawan hubby telepon hubby jam 12 mlm..menangis2 sebab sakit isterinya kembali lagi dgn darah mencurah2 keluar...adusss...dia pun dah buntu hendak buat apa...kami sekadar mampu mendengar dan memintanye bersabar...dan skrg ni tengah mencari sesiapa yg boleh membantu...

semoga keluarga sahabat hubby akan terus sabar atas dugaan ini..

Sakit2 pun Ingat Makan

Semalam saya EL sebab sakit kepala, demam, selsema and batuk..Johan pulak sakit mata...abahnye pulak demam, sampai tak larat nak balik umah, tidur kat opis hari rabu malam tu...kira yg sihat walafiat semalam ialah si Adam cheeky tu...so kemain seronoklah dia dapat duk umah, tengok transformer, master and alien utk kali ke 40 kali kot...

Ptgnye baru abahnye balik..bawak kupang 3 kilo..adus..demam2 tu dia teringin makan kupang pulak..kupang fresh ni..kat melaka murah..RM10 je utk 3 kilo tu...so saya pun buatlah kupang masak sweet sour gitu and masak creamy sauce utk anak2...habis jugaklah...gambar kupang ada ambik tapi kamera tinggal umah..

and saya pulak, kenapalah tekak time demam2 tu boleh terbayang2 nasi ambeng pasar malam dengkil..gara2 blog si catz lah ni..saya memang tak pahamlah org yg hilang selera ni sebab saya ni, tengoklah demam2 pun berselera jugak tu..

so petang tu, ajak jugak hubby temankan ke dengkil, gara2 nak cari nasi ambeng tu..tapi last-last bila dapat tu, takdelah makan banyak pun..kongsi dgn si kembar tu..tekak pun pahit lagi..tapi kemaruk aje tak hingat dunia..

hari ni masuk opis...banyaklah benda nak catch up ni...lunch break pun dlm opis aje...pening2...mulalah aku rasa nak demam balik ni..

Baked Macaroni Cheese

(gambar ehsan n3 terdahulu..)

saje nak share resipe yg den buat hari tu..ni kira resipe den utk org malas and ketandusan masa ye..

Bahan2:
1 paket pasta (ikut sukalah nak guna yg rupa mcm mana, reben ke, spiral ke, macaroni ke)
1 botol kecik sauce pasta Kimball (murah dari prego and malas nak buat sos sendiri..kalau rajin tu, boleh buat sos sendiri)
250 gm mozarella cheese (i beli yg dah grated sebab harga sama aje mcm yg blok punya..org malas nak parut cheese kan)

utk sos putih:
250 gm cream cheese
250 ml fresh milk (beli aje yg botol kecik tu)


cara-caranye:
1. rebus pasta tu sampai masak..dah masak toskan air and campak semula pasta ke dlm periuk merebus tadi..tujuan supaya mengurangkan bekas nak basuh..senang kerja..

2. masukkan pasta sos dlm pasta tu...gaul2 aje..tak yah masak dah sebab nanti nak bakar kan..lagipun pasta tu still panas and bolehlah masak2 sikit sos tu..yg i buat tu, i tambah black pepper, oregano and rosemary kering sikit..kalau tak bubuh pun takpe...

utk sos putih tu..senang amat..masakkan cream cheese bersama susu tu dengan api perlahan..dah cair cream cheese tu ..bolehlah tutup api (make sure korang potong kecik2 cream cheese tu ye, supaya cepat sikit cairnye)..masa buat ni, make sure sentiasa di kacau sos tu, takut nanti berketul2 pulak...

lagi satu pesanan penaja, buat menda ni sambil2 masak pasta tu ye..jgn pulak korang tunggu pasta masak, baru nak start buat sos putih ni..lambat sih nanti..

ok dah siap tu..layer2 kan pasta, sos putih, pasta, sos putih,pasta, sos putih..last sekali tabur mozarella cheese tu...bakar utk 20 minit, 200 celcius...

pastu makan masa panas2 sebab baru cheese tu tarik2 gitu ..ala2 pizza hut tu...

dan selamat mencuba serta selamat mengemukkan badan..I bagi amaran dulu ye, kalau korang gemuk, jangan kata I tak kasi tau awal2 pulak...jgn buat selalu resipe ni tau...nanti baju raya tak muat...

p/s: resepi sos putih ni boleh gunakan utk lasagna jugak..sama aje...

After 40 years

writing from De Palma Hotel, Kuala Selangor...my first entry from my laptop...(hampeh tul , kemain lama aku nak dpt broadband aku tu)

the minus point is only that my camera memory card is stuck in my laptop memoray card slot..thus makes all beautiful moments in Kuala Selangor can only be captured in our head..

the plus point are..I am here accompanied my father to his reunion with his schoolmates way back from year 1964, SDAR...

seeing my father's face really light up meeting his old schoolmate makes me so happy today...there're about 70 of them...and this is one of the rare moments when I see how childish my father and his friends are..all are above 50 years old but you can see, their acts are just like they were in the school...with hugging, cracking jokes, sharing old, faded photo and remisniscense the old memories...the moment they meets, all the family member accompanied was left to entertain yourself..thanks god there is swimming pool here...and my twin is so busy showing off their skill in the pool and left me alone in the hotel room..I get the hotel room while my parents get the chalet (the hotel room is bigger, currently completed with 21 in samsung lcd)..

I believe those who are fortunate enough to live part of their life in the hostel, will one day...especially after 40 years, understand the special bond we have among the roomates..sharing the tender moments in our adolascent life away from our family, friends in the best things and I minght said, the main things making life in the hostel full of fun and memorable..

As my father, I also spend a large part of my life away from my family...started in MRSM terendak at a very tender age of 13..then I went to MRSM Kuantan for Form 4 and 5 (because I want to be nearer to Terengganu)..and later to MSMKL doing my A-level, NCUK in PPP/ITM and then 2 years in UK for my degree...and ever since I graduated, the longest time I spend in my hometown in 1 year, after i get married...and now, I back to KL/Putrajaya/Nilai...thus, if my life was counted in hours, most of it is away from the loved one..but that doesn't make me less close to my parents...

My father also started in SDAR at the same age as me, 13 years old...I still remember how he always told me about the long journey he had to endure during his student time...at that time, SDAR was not in current location in N.Sembilan but was in Tanjung Malim...can't imagine the train (old train ok) from KB to Tanjung Malim..

And seeing all of his friends today..with all of them have a strick (a lot stricks, actually) of white hair..I wonder how me and my friends from the school day would be after 40 years...I do hope we can still connect as my father and his old friends did...

tonite..we are planning to go around K.selangor searching for pasar malam..because where else is a better place to see wide array of local delicacies...my father's has his own activity tonite starting with tahlil (for the friends that have passed away, quite a few I was told)...follows by dinner and I heard that they will just talking (borak-borak) until morning...

OMG cheese and cheese everywhere

My baked cheesey macaroni...last night dinner...

and my guilty conscious started to creep this morning...guilty of charge for overfeeding my body with all the unwanted fat...haruslah ku posa 3 hari ni..

before

after.....

the aftermath....see all the melted cheese...

saje nak update

Punyalah lama tak sempat nak update blog sebab terlalu busy kat opis...ada banyak cerita and banyak jugak gambar2 yg tak sempat nak snap...

okaylah, kan sekarang ni my hubby started working at new place kan..so dapatlah bergumbira di masa weekend..

Ni cerita weekend pertama dia di rumah...

27 Jun 2009 (saturday)....rumah kami amatlah penuh masa ni..my family and my brother's family was here..saje nak berjalan tengok umah i and also sending my sister (Jaja) who will be starting her study in UTM, Semarak...hah!hah! dah besar dah adik saya yg sorang ni tapi perangai penakut tu still ada...

our friends (2 family) who happen to be sending off their saudara to Rusia were also spending the night at our place..so 2 bilik di atas, ruang menonton di atas and living hall telah penuh dgn toto, tikar and bantal segala mak nenek utk tidur..

and masa tulah, baru ku sedar betapa daifnye keperluan pinggan mangkuk kat umah tu..yelah, selalu berempat aje..set makan is enough for 6 people..more than that, terpaksalah mengorek mana yg ada...nasib baik para tetamu memahami..

28 Jun 2009 (Sunday)..Jaja's registration day..kami sampai ke UTM tu around 9.30 am..ramailah umat pelajar di sana sini..and Jaja's went into registration hall dari kul 10 pagi..and kami pun dok lah mundar mandir kat luar hall tu..and lepas kebosanan melampau dah tak tau nak buat apa...(masa ni, aku berharaplah ada LRT dari depan UTM ke Midvalley ke, Klcc ke sebab memang bosan giles tak tau nak buat apa..3-4 kali dah aku berulang pi beli keropok yg student jual tu)..

oklah...Jaja siap registration kul 4.30 ptg..boleh gitu...lepas hantar dia check in ke dorm..teruslah chow..balik rumah...

the dorm

muka dah start selebet tu...

dah tak tau nak posing mcm mana tu...tengah tahan sebak..seronok aje dok usik dia tapi time kita dulu...dah guling2 masuk parit dah..kih!kih! ni time dia pulak..kira oklah umur 18 tahun baru berpisah dgn mak ayah kan..I dulu umur 13 tahun dah masuk asrama tau..lagi syahdu tu

buat-buat ketawa sambil air mata dah start bergenang

ok..tu cerita last week...

this weekend...hari sabtu, pi UTM ambik kak jaja..mula tu dia kata nak tidur umah tapi cancel pulak sebab tinggal member dia sorang2 pulak..so kami bawak ke midvalley..kan ada pameran kucing tu kan...my hubby and the twin tu masuklah tengok pameran tu while me and my sister pi shopping baju kat JJ...pas tu, jumpa depa semula and was told by my hubby, most of the show was on dog..cat tak banyak sangat..penatlah my hubby menjaga 2 orng tu yg asyik2 nak pegang anjing..penatlah i dok pesan, kita orang Islam tak boleh pegang anjing...

petang tu, lepas hantar Jaja ke dorm dia semula..kami bawaklah twin tu mandi kolam kat port biasa di putrajaya tu..kesian pulak, sebab dari last week depa nak mandi pool...mlm tu pulak pi beli groceri kat Tesco...ingat nak beli ikan tapi tengok semua yg ada tu..ish!ish! kalau kat kampung den ni..buat makan kucing dah tu..dgn perut terbarai ye..jadinye sekor ikan pun den tak beli..

semalam pulak, kami melayan merayau ke bandar enstek..sesaje pi tengok2 rumah contoh and jalan2 ikut jalan kampung ke sana...cantik2 ooo rumah2 kat sana..harga bungalow dari 500k to 1 million...hah!hah! setakat gigit jari ajelah tengok design umah tu...

pastu pi pasar beli stok ikan utk anak2 den yg tak makan ayam tu...ke main lagilah sedap memasukkan ikan dlm plastik kan..tup2 time bayar tu...terkejut den dengar uncle tu cakap "semua..rm78"....selalu stok ikan seminggu kami dlm RM50 aje..tapi maybe sebabb kepala ikan merah tu aje dah rm15 kan..but still harga ikan dah bertambah mahallah sekarang ni..

balik tu masak asam pedas kepala ikan merah, sotong masak osyter sauce, goreng ikan 4 ekor utk si kecik 2 orang tu, sambal tempoyak and ulam...berselera betullah kami makan tengah hari tu..lepas makan, mak nak tidurkan budak2 kecik tu tapi dengan mak2 sekali tertidur..

actually, petang tu nak pi round ke putrajaya..tapi sedar2 dah jam 6 petang..turun bawah tengok hubby tengah vacuum keta..wah, ketaku dah berkilat..dah tu, bukan nak menolong dia..pi ambik nasi sepinggan lagi, makan dgn asam pedas tu...

dah tu..terasalah bersalah sebab makan banyak..changed to my jogging attire and sempatlah berpeluh round taman tu 2 kali..heh!heh!

hari ni sambung balik posa ganti..tengah pikir nak masak apa ni..
