~cuti mode~

It's my last day in the office before i join the rest of my colleagues for a long hari raya holiday. There're 7 of us over here, still receiving calls and entertaining our customers' requests.
We had fun during the kroni's buka pose gathering over last saturday. Halim and his two siblings did a great job as a host. We managed to gather most of our kronis that day, together with the babies and toddlers. Thanks so much to the guys, whom were so bz doing the 'membakar' thingy till maghrib. We had loads and loads of food...but thanks again to idlan who restrain me for eating too much. The guys should thanked the ladies and mommies for because of us they had the capacity to finish out the foods.
I think we had a blast this yr...loads of foods at a very comfy house, spacious space for the toddlers and babies to move around, and what's most important majority of us did turned up that day....but ohhh i wished i could eat more foods! I only ate a few bites of ayam bakar and sandwiches, half plate of spaghetti, a piece of kek batik and a cup of already-melted ice cream huhu...

Selamat Hari Raya sumer!

Waaaa since ramai org posting pasal persiapan raya, saye pon nak tulis gakla persiapan raye tahun ni buat kami sekeluarga.
Well, ni tahun kedua saye sambut raye bersama B tercinta...tapi tahun pertama menyambut raye bersama our beloved Idlan Farhan....so boleh dijangka la kan kemeriahannya sure berganda berbanding tahun2 lepas. Kalo tahun lepas saye tgh sarat membawa Idlan, makanya baju raye saye tak special pon, just pinjam jubah umi jer hehe....
Tahun ini....
- kami decide utk pilih theme maroon, sbb mak hubby dah belikan kain baju melayu kaler maroon utk Idlan
- so utk diri sendiri, saye beli kain and buat dress, B beli kain buat baju melayu...semua baju kami dijahit oleh akak ipar hubby...thanks kak ja! Oh lupa plak, saye ade satu baju kurung baru kaler hitam kuning, umi kasik kain...thanks umi!!!
- tudung saye takde lagi...tgkla either pakai mane yg ader, or pi jenguk jln tar last minute
- Utk Idlan...hmm ni yg special ni...dia ade baju melayu, suar jeans mak ude kasik, khakis, dan pelbagai shirt and t-shirt mama and abah borong 2x kat midvalley ngan sogo. Kitorang beli kaler oren, biru, hijau and merah..kasut kaler biru...topi tade baru, pakai yg lama jer...tinggal satu lagi bende tak beli lagi, kopiah! Nanti nak pi cari kat jln tar gaks hehe
- Biskut raya : hmm tahun ni beli 300 pieces jer...jimat duit la katakan...so mama dah borong tart, almond slice, semperit and cornflakes blackcurrant. Kerepek2 or kacang tade beli pon.
- Utk rumah, well takde benda baru pon yg kami beli since skang duk umah sewa jer..semangat nak hias umah takde pon :p insya allah taun depan bila masuk umah baru, bleyla wat persiapan mega raya utk rumah baru cum house warming :)) So time tu barulah boleh pening2 kepala pk nak beli langsir ker pinggan mangkuk ker alas meja ke ape-ape ker....
- Open house : hmm tade open house pon, tapi sape nak datang umah kami amatlah dialu-alukan..tapi make sure call dulu eh!
- Menu pagi raye : hehe ni kena tanye umi, sbb saye akan berkampung kat umah umi the day before raye...so ape yg umi masak itulah menu saye..tapi insya allah saye akan wat pasta special utk hubby (senarnyer feveret diri sendiri :p)
- Raya pertama saye di Ampang, petang raya kami akan bergerak pulang ke kampung B kat Junjung...balik kampungggggggggg ohohohoho balik kampunggggggg
- Tahun ni agak special sket sbb kami akan pulang bersama Matrix baru hehe...surprise wat mak and ayah kat kampung! Tapi sedey gak melepaskan baby kuning tu...keta tu la yg byk berjasa pada kami sekeluarga.
- Ape lagi eh?? hmm rasanye raya ni meriah sbb ade si toet tuh...sure kiut miut dia pakai baju melayu + sampin+kopiah! Pastuh sure best dia nanti dpt collect duit raye bebyk...uhhh jelesnyer mama!
Ok all, kepada yg nak pulang ke kampung halaman tu, berhati-hati di jalan raya, bila makan tu berpada-pada, jgn melantak sampai sakit perut...hehe nanti takleh nak jejalan raya. Kepada yg tak balik kampung lagi tu, keje rerajin, jgn ponteng2..:p
Selamat Hari Raya sumer...maaf zahir & batin..halalkan makan minum saye, maaf dipinta jika selama ni terkasar bahasa sama ada di dlm blog or di alam realiti...wassalam.

plan hari esok

Ptg ni nak pi pasar mlm...hoho lamanyer tak jengah pasar mlm...nak beli lauks pauks...dlm freezer cuma ade lauk utk Idlan jer hehe...esok dah determine nak masak nasi ayam ngan tomyam (my all time feverets)...adoiiiss nyummmy!!! Kak Erni jiran sebelah penah kasik murtabak utk bukak pose, so kitorang kenalah balas balik kan....sampai skang tak berbalas lauk lagi utk dia...hopefully plan esok menjadi :) Kalo ter'extra' rajin, nak wat samosa skalik...huishh cepatla esokkkk!

Untuk Idlan cayang, since mama excited nak try resepi baru, tunggula esok mama try wat Applesauce and Pear for u ok dear....(special thx to ummimon for the recipe!)

Resipi Applesauce and Pear - for your baby/toddler
Ingredients: Apple, pear, raisin, cinnamon powder
-cut apple and pear in small pieces, and put into pan. Spread cinnamon powder (i might most probably exclude this one) onto it. Add raisin. Bring to a boil over high heat then slow down the flame. Simmer for 20-30 min. Blend into desired consistency. Freeze. (according to ummimon, it can lasts for more than a week...so everytime nak serve kat your baby, just melt it in pan, sejukkan and it's ready!)

food...AGAIN???

Now that i notice i talked a lot about food during this Ramadhan. Haha serve as proof that i love to eat sooo much that i couldnt resist myself from thinking and talking about food :p So what do by and i had for yesterday's iftar? I helped myself with laksa penang and cendol (tawar dan tak sedappps), by had mee rebus and cendol. I settled in front of tv after terawikh with nestle vanilla drumstick and seketul karipap pusing....by already drifted away in sleep that time....i woke up at 5am for sahur and only to find that by already heated up yesterday's murtabak and roti john. So tunggu ape lagi....makan la! Hmm btw we bought all the foods at bazar ramadhan Putrajaya in Precinct 2. And the stalls there were like....huh so many stalls and all are sooo appealing that if not due to our budget constraint we might end up buying a lot more! hish nafsu nafsu...pergila jauh2 dari diriku.....

Oret stop talking about food...so how was our pengisian ramadhan so far? Do we perform our solat 5 waktu on time? Manage to perform terawikh at all nights? Have you start reading the Quran? When you have your food, were there any leftovers which leads to pembaziran? Ever thinking of donating some penny in your wallet to those in need? Have you try to reduce or avoid talking nonsense and mengumpat at work? Hmm if none of the above fit in your list, then we better be hurry or else we'll find how fast this yr ramadhan flies by and leave us..and He doest guarantee that we'll be experiencing the same ramadhan al-mubarak next year and the many years after......gud luck frens...and also to myself :)

kroni's gathering

We had problems to decide the best venue suitable for all (isteri, suami, budak2 keciks, single mingle) for this year upcoming kroni's bukak puasa gathering. Among places in our list are Oasis Bangsar, Mejaaku at Maju Junction, Mc D, and last but not least rumah Halim :p I personally would really really love to try Oasis but since by, rahimi and zahan oppose to have it at Oasis, hmm looks like have to keep my mouth shut! Reason is simple yet sensible, they serve beer. So Oasis was out, tinggal 3 jer. I called Bora Ombak to survey on the price and menu, unfortunately they only provide malay/kampung cuisine. Most of us are heavy eaters and cost consciuos, definitely we're expecting something more than the-usual-cook malay dishes with the high money to be spent. Plus a place that can offer exra comfort specially for those about to bring their babies/kids. Halim proposed to just have it at his house while his parents and sister are away, with BBQ as the main dish. And i think that was great. Para suami will be sitting outside, doing the membakar things and all that, para isteri stay inside taking care of the little ones...hehehe and we dont have to rush for our maghrib prayer since many rooms are avail to cater all of us. In fact the guys can have their maghrib berjemaah some more! So what are we waiting and arguing at guys? let's just decide who brings what and what :P

p/s: aku cop spaghetti eh!

- to my dearest ex-coursemate & ex-housemate zarid, Heppy wonderful 25th Besday! May life be filled with happiness and blessing from Him till end of time...insya allah.
- and also to my ex-uni mate zueika, Heppy 25th Besday jugak! Moga bertemu jodoh cepat2 hihi...dan moga hidup ini terus dilimpahi rahmat & kurnia dariNya...ceria2 slalu!
