Kebosanan Gaban

Sedang menanti kazen bertuah di salon. Orang sibuk mau raya dia sibuk steam rambut pula. Mother & her sisters sudah gerak pigi pasar. Alkisah takut ndak sempat membeli membelah kalau² esok raya. While my 2 cousins & I basi bontot tunggu yang sorang ni. Uhuk.

Heading straight back home after this. I haven't perform my ZuPra yet. Prayer room in this mall is so not suitable to be called one. Pasrah bercampur geram. We'll break fast with the family at Sala Thai, HC today. Yay am so excited. Berkumpul lagi. Bliss.

Sayu namun Gembira

Alhamdulillah.

All family members are finally back! Middle brother arrived last Fri evening. While the family in Kolumpur got home yesterday's afternoon. We're complete again. Nothing shall I ask more from Allah SWT. Boleh gather with the family is indeed huge meaning to me. Rumahku kembali ceria albeit the size...ndak lah aku sama si Bunda meninguk sesama sendiri sepanjang masa. At least, for a week rumah ni akan jadi colorful Thank you Allah.

Angah brought loads of Eid biscuits from Kolumpur...also cakes & stuffs. And I've got my hands on my new pink bedsheet & maroon-ish curtains. Yay I am uber delighted for the Eid birthday gifts although they 'arrived' a bit late. But I can't decorate my beloved bedroom as yet. It is currently jammed packed with luggages & things because the 2 cousin sisters stayed in my room. I chose to let them sleep on my bed. And I sleep on the floor; beralaskan comforter nan tebal & empuk. Bukan kah tetamu perlu dihormati?

Unlike the previous years where the rest of us headed to Along's in Putatan. Eid this year, the family will be heading to our house on the 1^st of Shawal; that is right after visiting the relatives' resting places. Mother & I have yet to discuss on what dishes to cook. Brother might be showing off his well-known talent in making Western dishes. Sesi membuli bakal bermula. All this while, it was Mother & I whom sweat ourselves in the kitchen. Hence this year, biar the rest try something different. Air basuhan tangan orang yang berbeza as to avoid boredom. Hopefully akan memenuhi tastebud semua orang.

Wahai kazen mazen ku, we have to all the time be grateful to the sustenance given by Allah. *wink*

I may be resting myself from updating this site. This little time I have with the family shall be cherished while they're still here. My time is so much occupied right now. Will resume writing once I'm back to my 'old life'.

Selamat Hari Raya Aildilfitri to all Muslims.

Untuk pembaca blog kapisan ni...ampun & maaf jika ada terkasar bahasa sepanjang kita ber-ngobror di sini. Moga Ramadhan kali ni meninggalkan seribu pengajaran buat kita. Kalau ada perubahan biarlah yang positif jak. Insya Allah.

p/s: 2 days more before Ramadhan ends...ntah sempat kah ndak aku jumpa next year. Sedih.

Jangan Pernah Say NO

Kneading dough has never been a task I enjoyed doing. As far as I'm concern, the last time I kneaded was like 3 years back. That was when I accompanied my little cousin sister playing with her play-doh. Fine, itu permainan kanak² so basically ndak masuk dalam list agenda making real cookies. Therefore, I guess I could proudly announced the first time I kneaded was 2 days ago. And it wasn't the kind of love at the first sight kinda experience for me. I loathed kneading! I swore I hollered out the word loathe endlessly that night. Mother stared at me & said..."Baru canai pun sudah give up. Mau bercantik lawa kalau keluar, sekali masuk dapur benda paling simple pun hancur".

Ok that was it, should withdraw the word L.O.A.T.H.E immediately. And instantly replaced it with"I will try my best next time". pfft! Having an assertive observer like mother has somehow turned me into a person who doesn't give up easily. Her remarks sometimes sounded rather cynical has never failed to bring me back to the right track so far. Alhamdulillah. My cookies turned out ok to mother's eyes, same goes to the taste. But I simply couldn't accepted the way I mold the cookies. And I disfavor the way it was kneaded. The thickness wasn't up to my standardization. Uhhh dasar! Pencerewet tegar.

To enhance my skill, I decided to stay home today. Mainly to learn the technique to knead. Erk, tipu. Sebab utama, I was too lazy to go to the kedai. Second, mau buat another 2 cookies. Then lastly, baru sebab mencanai doh tu. Walau berat hati mau try recipe yang perlu canai-an...I really have to at least try one. Baru sesuai guna statement berjuang hingga tetesan darah terakhir.

Alhamdulillah berkat sabar & kesungguhan *ehem clearing throat* aku berjaya akhirnya. Syukur. Ndak sia² aku perah keringat nan ado. The outcomes so worth my sweats. Pastu suddenly getek mau kunun buat biskut satu lagi secara knead & mold. Adei bikin pening syok sendiri ndak kenal titik noktah.

My Nestume Cookies. Ignore the shape. As I said previously, buruk bidak langsung ndak da rupa.

It was supposed to be Choc Rice Bubble Cookie...

But considering I only have colourful rice in stock & insufficient amount of choc bubble, I improvised the recipe. I used choc chips instead. Because the other day aku adalah getek membeli sampai dekat 2kg. Nevertheless, I'm kinda admire myself already. Looks perfect to my valuation; perfect thickness & shape. I is happy. Like, perlukah puji diri sendiri? Oh yeah, harus gitu.

Ketagih untuk mencanai maka tersiaplah cookies ni. According to the recipe it was named Almond Snow Cookies. Yet being me who enjoyed being in the state of delusional, I change the name to Pink Snow. Only because I used the pink choc coating instead of the original choc color.

Pengajaran di sini...jangan membenci & putus asa atas sesuatu perkara yang gagal anda buat untuk pertama kali. Cuba & cuba lagi. Sekalipun anda gagal lagi dan lagi, at least anda sudah memberikan yang terbaik. Orang bilang, ndak kempunan. Eceh bermadah nasihat kunun lagi. Memang semangkit lah sekali.

Ketentuan Dia

Up to this moment...I've been drinking like I've never drank before. Thirsty every single secs. Dehydrated perhaps. Or was it the sign menses is eventually visiting. If I ignored the thirst, dizziness occurred. And that has got me thinking...does it means that I have low blood pressure? God, there I go again. Making simple thing more complex. Shoo shoo bad thoughts.

By the way, I guess it is not too late to convey my deepest congratulations to my darling bestie; Ms. Hafizah Samsir for conceiving! Alhamdulillah; praise be to Allah the Almighty for the greatest gift. She had a miscarriage a couple of months back & that has brought her in deep despair for quite a while. And as promised by Him; thing(s) He took will still be replaced with something far more treasured. If it's not here, then it would certainly be in the hereafter. Because Allah wills goodness & mercy for all his creatures.

Thank You Allah for the blessing & not letting my friend be heavy-hearted for too long. I was utterly happy when she told me the news a few days ago. She even apologized for dragging the time to share the great news. Well darling, please erase the guiltiness already for we know exactly the reason why u kept it from us. The most important thing right now is to take good care on the thing growing in ur tummy. I am enthused, still. And I can't seem to stop praising Allah; The Beneficent & The Most Merciful.

Yes, 2011 has brought so much blessing for me. Surrounded by pregnant friends is one of them. The big sister; Laura is 6months preggy. Nor; whom just got married last June is 2 months preggy. And to date, Pijut. With Grunge church blessing next month, I guess the number of mothers-to-be will grow. She plans to get pregnant by Nov this year. Insya Allah; God's willing everything will turned out the way it shall be.

Speaking of pregnant friends, please don't ever think of giving me the super bonus yet non attractive multimillion RM question. Because like I said many times before, it really is not my right to speak. I never own the right, ever. I surrender everything to Allah; The Knower of All.

At this age, I know it's normal to worry about my marital status. I'll be lying if I said I never thought of it. But why shall I rush thing that Allah has long written in Loh-e-Mahfuz? Who am I to order Allah to expedite? Being given the opportunity to breathe is already more than I should received! Have I practised enough to even dare to make request. Please be ashamed wahai Cik Err.

Therefore next time u think of bringing up this issue...please oh please think again. Thoroughly. Even IF I have someone right now, I still don't own the right to tell u when the big day is going to be. For I myself do not have the answer. Even IF I have plan for it...the future is still something I shouldn't anticipate.

P.E.M.A.L.A.S itu adalah saya

Assalamualaikum & Salam Sejahtera

Sudah masuk 23 Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah masih diberi peluang merasa nikmat puasa. 7 hari terakhir bulan mulia ni adalah masa untuk mengejar Lailatul Qadar. Moga diberi hikmah malam yang lebih baik dari seribu malam itu. Insya Allah. Walau amalan ndak kan sampai saiz biji saga...walau dosa lebih tinggi dari Gunung Uhud; wajib aku tadah tangan berdoa dengan Nya. Simply sebab aku tahu Allah suka pada hamba Nya yang berdoa. Sama siapa lagi harus aku rely segala harapan if it's not on Him.

Lately, mood sangat suka untuk main see-saw. Semacam aku taruk mood dalam cradle & swing it forwardly. Tanda macam menses bakal melawat lagi. pfft it's not something I shall see as odd anymore. Sudah 3 tahun (or was it more than 3 years) berkeadaan begini. Awal & akhiran aku bercutian. Sungguh aku rasa ralat tapi sudah ketentuan Dia, siapa aku untuk mengeluh.

Baju raya bukan berpasang aku beli online sudah berjaya dipungut di pos office before heading to kedai just now. Alkisah, slip poslaju sudah terpampang depan pintu rumah since Fri. Harus logik if baru hari ini aku tuntut. Syukur baju sampai before raya. Malu sebab punya beria sakan beli baju baru tapi puasa sudah berlohong 3. Siap order online gitu. Kau ada? Ugh ugh. And since aku sudah purchased 2 new pumps last month therefore I decided to not shop new footwear for eid. Pakai yang ada, settle masalah problemo.

Semangkit berbakar cookies walau bakat langsung ndak terbit. Insya Allah by Thurs baru start buat kek. Tapi semangat aku yang tu masih belum mau timbul, mau diseru kali tu tau. Or maybe tunggu kazen-mazen dari Kolumpur datang this Sat. Speaking of them, aku adalah rindu. Albeit the fact baru June lepas aku bertendang bergandang di sana.

To be able to gather with the family members during eid is somehow a blessing I would never trade with anything in this whole wide world. Beloved SIL bakal melahirkan this coming Sept; hope all went well. First anak buah in the family him will be, Insya Allah. Semua adalah excited gaban sekarang ni. Although I'm the eldest grandchild tapi aku kasi peluang sama yang di bawah aku tunjuk taring & bakat dulu. Lagipun dia itu kan lelaki. Jadi memang logik kalau dia potong line. In fact ndak da bendul perlu dilangkah pun.

Sudah janji sama bunda untuk buat cookies malam ni. Sudah 2 malam aku lekat sticker sang penangguh di dahi nan luas ni. Ntah lah kenapa sangat pemalas ya amat. Mengantuk ndak hengat dunia. Aku takut jak kalau aku start meng-uli...suddenly aku terlelap memang haru lah kan dengar semboyan si bunda. Therefore I decided to...erm, procrastinate! Great word, thank u.

Tonight's plan is to make Nestume Cookies. Harap menjadi...harap juga aku ndak pause tengah jalan. Please know it's raining cats & dogs here in KK right now...jadi sila paham tahap malas aku ni macam mana. sigh
