the word 'FREEDOM'

I am now considered 'merdeka' for the next 2 weeks. Next class officially commence on 6th Oct, so i have super duper ample time to bake my raya biscuits, and enjoy my precious upcoming weekend, no book, no assignment whatsoever!

How was the exam? Well i was confident with my answers throughout the xm, but suddenly the world turned upside down when we discuss the answers, later after submission. It was like 'the person is guilty and i said not guilty". This is law, and obviously when we give judgement contradict to what the law says, it means we already made a huge mistake! aduhhhhs habisla diriku...and some more the Q itself accounts for 40% of all damnnn. Just to comfort myself, some of my friends also had the same opinion with me..harap lecturer kasik la markah kesian :p

After exam we had a small gathering cum pot luck at my mom's, i cooked tomyam and it was a bit tawar, my brother claimed it was not only tawar, but tak pedas, tak masam, tak umpph langsung..but ironically his plate was full with all the tomyam's isi dan sebagainyer...sabor jela!

Sunday came, right after subuh i prepared sardine curry puff and frozed it, think they can last for about 3-4 days. For berbuka we had mee hailam, curry puff and tepung pelita..my favourite! Idlan had a small ketumbit and we brought him to clinic that evening, and later drop off at bazar ramadhan bangi to get the tepung pelita. 1-2 minutes before azan,while both of us were bz at kitchen sorting out the plates and everything, we heard a loud thunder and the only thing i knew, idlan landed himself on the floor, him gum bleeds a bit and of course cried his lungs out. Tapi takdela teruk sgt pon i guess..more like nangis manja :)



And these are cheese tart for my officemate kak alimah...i've been owing these to her since the last 2 months kot hoho..dia kata rindu ngan cheese tart yati .....adus terharu plak daku :p, and since 'ethically' i was bind by the promise...here goes for u!

menu ramadhan

Semlm lepas berbuka terus pengsan….mengantuk sesgt takleh tahan dah pukul 9 dah doze off. Berbuka kelmarin dgn daging black pepper…favourite big bos and aku sendiri. Appetizer cempedak goreng...tu pon time azan still lagi menggoreng hehe sungguhla tak efficient :p So tadi terjaga pukul 130am…lepas solat sumer terus mengadap pc sampailah ke waktu sahur. Sahur recycle je daging semlm, goreng telur dadar ngan ikan masin gelama…alhamdulillah. Tinggal satu soklan je lagi yg pending..nampak gaya mlm ni kena stay up lagi huhuhu…mataku sudah mengantuk skarang ni helpppp!

Ni resepi yg dijanjikan kelmarin…

Udang masak cili kering – resepi mak pruzz

Udang
Cili kering
Santan – maybe ½ kelapa kot…ntahla tak measure pon senarnyer :p
Bawang besar
Bawang putih – sket je
Serai – sebatang cukup kot mkn 5 org
Asam keeping - satu
Belacan – sket je
Garam & gula

Blend cili kering bersama2 dgn bwg besar, bwg putih and serai

Tumiskan cili tu sampai pecah minyak, masukkan santan

Then masukkan belacan sket, asam keping, garam n gula. Masak sampai kuah kering (tapi jgn kering sgt biarla ade kuah)..opps jgn lupa masukkan udang ok.

Tu je sempoi je kan hehe..tapi sedap J sbb ade rasa serai tuh….mak masak ketam, tapi since saya tak penah beli ketam, so jadikla udang jer hoho


Daging black pepper sempoi

Daging – hiris
Kicap manis
Tepung jagung
Bwg besar - hiris
Bwg putih - hiris
Halia
Lada hitam – tumbuk sampai halus (saye x suke guna serbuk tak umpphh sgt)
Tomato sebiji dua
Hiasan – cili hidup, daun bawang, capsicum


Tumis bawang/halia, masukkan daging, tambah air and masak sampai empok (air jgn byk sgt, agak2 terendam daging)

- Then tambah kicap, tepung jagung, and lada hitam

- Last masukkan tomato, and cili hidup, daun bawang, capsicum, etc

- Kalo ade button mushroom bley tambah lagi best!

- Daging tu biar berkuah sket..baru best..kalo kering sgt tak berapa rasa black pepper tu..


Ok sekian resepi utk hari ni! Measurement tu saya agak2 jer...sbb sumer pakai campak je...

update update!

In response to k.nieta’s challenge, here goes the updates….:P

Since everybody is talking about their menu, I’ll be sharing mine as well.
Well like last year, I choose to cook during the holy month of ramadhan. The rest of the months, we usually opt to buy foods from outside. No need for justification, it’s just me and the penyakit “M”, to answer your question hehehe. Perhaps the spirit of Ramadhan and its ‘barakah’ that turns me slightly ‘rajin’ than before :p

First day, I cook nasi lemak for sahur. Woke up at 4am and managed to get everything ready earlier than expected. Well B has mentioned he wants something heavy during the earlier weeks, that’s why la nasi lemak menjadi pilihan. The first day was indeed challenging, I felt so sleepy like monsters and could hardly opened my eyes at office. The sleepiness even made me dizzy and later gave me migraine like hell huhu. Sampai loya2 dlm kereta on the way back (bukan preggie ok). But again thanks for the barakah in ramadhan, I still cook for berbuka..kari ikan bawal, sayur campur telur and chicken poppers….simple and enough to feast our stomach alhamdulillah.

Taking lesson from the 1st day, the second day I woke up a bit late, 440am hehe. Recycle the last’s night curry, goreng telur kicap and ikan gelama masin….ishh sedap sungguh pekena ikan masin! It was my 1st time in life I bought ikan masin and fry on my own, serius x tipu hehe dahsyat kan….
So menu seterusnye, ayam masak kicap, sausage sweet sour, kangkung goreng belacan dan cempedak goreng. The next day we had potluck at my mom’s and I cooked udang masak cili kering+serai & sup daging n fishball. I even prepared popia and freeze it, senang goreng je time berbuka….this time special thanx to B, he was the one who did all the folding :) Sunday came, B suggested to go to bazaar ramadhan and I declared a public holiday to Mr kitchen. And yesterday, again simple menu jer..ikan kerisi goreng, bilis goreng cili padi, sup sayur n nugget.

Well am not that very good in cooking but tak kira, nak share jugak tips of fast (1 hr cooked time) and simpe cooking….blend cili kering siap2, kupas segala jenis bawang siap2, perap ikan/ayam siap2 and letak kat fridge the lower part…(sumer orang dah tahu ni kot haha) And either am so organize or pathetic, I even prepared my menu list (so far sampai 10 hari je, sbb blank dah x tau nk masak ape :p). Kepala ni jugak dah fikir macam2 pasal dessert, but so far only popia and cempedak goreng yg materialize…the rest is still in white paper. I’ll be having my final this com Saturday, after that I have sufficient 2 weeks to prepare dessert yg best2 sket and biskut raya yeye!

Opps it’s already 4.24am. The two angels of mine still in deep slumber, and me from 12am burning the light pulun wat assignment :( I wonder if anyone else out there also doing what I’m doing right now….aini yuhuu ko tgh stay up jugak ker???? Jgn diriku menjadi zombie lagi hari ni sudah ler huhuhu..
Oh menu sahur kejap lagi..dried fried noddle! Off to kitchen peeps!

p/s: I’ll share my MIL’s udang masak cili kering+serai tuh next time ok..insya allah sedap, but no picas whatsoever…dlm kelam kabut mane sempat capai kamera daa.


amacam k.nieta...panjang tak hehehehe

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Insya Allah esok kita semua akan menyambut Ramadhan, bulan yg mulia. Betapa beruntungnya kita dpt menempuh sekali lagi kenikmatan bulan Ramadhan, hati dan fikiran rasa tenang...dan perilaku seharian pun insya Allah akan lebih terkawal dan bertambah baik :) Azam ku tahun ini........

- nak lebihkan membaca Al-Quran
- nak masak sendiri utk sahur dan berbuka puasa
- kurangkan berbelanja di pasar ramadhan
- kawal diri, kawal hati, kurang marah dan membebel :p
- study rajin-rajin, jgn malas-malas dan tido jer!
- buat biskut ngan kek raya sendiri
- takmo buat bisnes...nak rehat-rehat jer :)

ok tu saja, nampak list sikit tapi berat juga nak melaksanakan semuanya...moga Allah beri kekuatan fizikal, mental dan iman utk aku melaksanakan semua azamku ini....amin.

Kepada kengkawan semua, Selamat Berpuasa...semoga amal ibadat kita diterima olehNya...

I: Sambil menyelam minum air
Akibat membuat group discussion @ MidValley, duitku habis tanpa disangka2 dgn membeli comforter set, cadar & kasut. Yang menarik, shopping hanya dilakukan dlm masa beberapa minit, main entrance dah half-way closed, dan kami sumer kluar melalui emergency exit :p


Idlan happy sungguh tgk girrafe n lion nih...:)
II: Shoppin' galore
Ini mmg planned shopping, bukan impulse buying ok. Pergi Ikea dan tesco ampang utk mencari barang2 hiasan rumah...dan juga hadiah besday :) Dapatla membeli 6-7 ketul pasu dan pokok hijau. Pokok ni penting, sbb papa dah membebel rumah kami takde 'green effect' langsung! Pokok2 lain bley tgk fotopages...

pokok cinonet saya!

III: Makan-makan
The best thing about my office and colleagues, we love to gather and stuff ourselves with wide array of foods, tak kesah la..brunch ke, lunch ke, tea time ker...mesti grand makanan nyer! Ari ni ada pot luck lagi, sempena bakal menyambut Ramadhan, dan sempena dah lama tak organize mkn2 formal. Mee kari, mihun, spaghetti bolognese, choc cake, cheese cake, mango cake SR, talam berlauk, nasi goreng, apam, ayam black pepper, fun fries, cream caramel, pecal, air pelbagai jenis, etc...aduss kecur perut ku...macam pasar ramadhan plak rasa :p
Aku bwk bread pudding and cuppies...buat cuppies sbb nak bwk blk kampung sama esok utk cousin2 idlan :)

Esok cuti balik kampung yey!!!


SRM...3 years already


Aiman-Haikal-Idlan..the three stooges
Tapi nama Haikal dah hilang, terjatuh time nak angkut dlm kotak huhu
