Cuti Deepavali 2015

Hi all.... dah lunch?   I just had mine... hmm... takde buat apa-apa during lunch hour nih, jom la kita manfaatkan dengan update belog ye uols... hehehehehe

Cuti Deepavali baru-baru ni we all balik kampung Pakdin kat Kedah... dah lama tak balik... Rasanya last kitorang balik was during Eidul Adha.  It was and ad hoc plan.... 

Bila dah balik Kedah tu, macam-macam plan la yang kitorang dah atur... hihihihi.  We all gerak balik Kedah on Friday.  Sabtu tu kitorang duduk rumah jer... ye la sebab penat driving tu tak hilang lagi kan...   Malam Sabtu tu Wet pulak balik... Dia singgah kejap sebab diorang nak ke Langkawi on Sunday tu.

Sunday tu lepas Wet dah gerak gi Langkawi, turn kitorang plak bersiap-siap nak ke Loq Staq.... Buat apa lagi kalau bukan bawak mak ayah pi makan nasi lemak Royale... yeayyy.... Terlerai rinduku... ahaksss... 

Lepas dari brunch kat Nasi Lemak Royale, kitorang bawak mak ayah jenjalan kat Aman Central plak.  Saja bawak diorang jenjalan mall... Kali ni diorang enjoy sket jenjalan kat mall sebab ayah dah tak letih... duduk atas wheelchair kan....

Balik dari Aman Central tu kitorang singgah rumah Cik Nah, adik mak.  Saja ziarah Cik Nah plus tumpang solat kat rumah dia.  On the way balik rumah, kitorang singgah Tesco Star Gate jap.. beli barang-barang dapur untuk mak ayah.  Wahhh... kemain seronok mak bila bawak dia gi Tesco tu.. ye la... everything under one roof kan.... of course la dia seronok...

Alhamdulillah.... balik kampung kali ni I tengok ayah sihat sangat... berbeza waktu Eidul Adha hari tu... time tu dia lemah sangat... takde selera sangat nak makan... asyik tido jer.... but this time, he has got his appetite back... and bertambah kuat dan sihat... alhamdulillah... 

Salam Aidil Adha

Salam Aidil Adha semua.... How was your Aidil Adha celebration?  Uols balik kampung tak?  Well... as for me sepatutnya Aidil Adha ni turn my side kat Melaka and Muar... tapi The Yasmines requested to balik Kedah... I ok jer ... so balik Kedah la kita... 

Kebetulan Aidil Adha tahun ni jatuh on Shahna'z birthday i.e. 24 September.  So we had a small celebration for Shahnaz with other family members.  Takde buat apa sangat pun... Kitorang serve Mee Rebus Johor, ketupat palas, nasi himpit, gulai daging and mee goreng.  Cake pulak mintak Adibah, Kak Cik's youngest daughter belikan.

ni la kek yang Adibah tolong belikan tu... black forest cake... sedap...

Sangkaya Coconut Ice-Cream

Tau about Sangkaya coconut ice-cream ni bila I baca blog Suraya Sulatin.  Dia selalu blog about food, tak ketinggalan Sangkaya ice-cream ni... terliur I bila tengok gambo eskrem yang .  Terus I teringin nak makan... tapi kat area my office ni xde la plak outlet Sangkaya.

Kebetulan bila ntah Sarah, Nomie, Nabeelah and I we went to The Mines... misi utama tak ingat nak cari apa.  Tup tup turun jer dari escalator tu nampak Sangkaya ice-cream ni... terus kitorang cam excited nak cuba.  

Memula ingat nak share je sekali tu ada budak chomel tu takmo share... tak cukup katanya... so I amik yang 1 scoop cone... nak try katanya kan.... Nomie amik cendol while Sarah and Nabeelah amik yang 4 scoops dalam coconut shell tu.

Mak aihhh... sedapnya uols..... even time menaip entry ni pon terbayang-bayang... and terasa nak merepeat.  Nak ajak diorang gi IOI City Mall la ... repeat eskrem Sangkaya... hahaha

All About Aidilfitri 2015

Memandangkan Aidil Adha is approaching us in about a week's time, rasanya I better finish my Aidilfitri entries kan.... so kali ni kita dump semua ceritera Aidilfitri in one entry... kasi habis... hehehehe...

1)  Jamuan Raya TDPI

My office buat jamuan raya on August 4.  Kitorang potluck menu raya... Kak Aishah buat kuah lodeh, Nomie masak rendang... sedap gilers okeh... tak puas makan..., Sarah bawak kuah kacang, Nabeelah bawak ketupat palas, Kak Roslinah bawak lemang, Bos bawak rendang ayam and myself bawak nasi impit.  Kitorang order sinful chocolate cake with maltersers untuk celebrate birthday Nabeelah and Sarah.  Alhamdulillah... all the food habis...

2)  Raya Visit by Yang & Co.

On August 6 plak my schoolmate Yang and her family balik beraya di Malaysia.  Roadtrip from Bangkok to KL... seronoknya... teringat plak my Krabi roadtrip experience... eh, out of topic plak... sorry... Since she's coming back, I kirim my favourite tamarind candy.. So this raya visit is a part from meeting up, is also hantar my candies... Dapatlah I lepas geram kat her cheecky and chubby Hayfa... Memandangkan I invited her on Wednesday, which I kerja siang tu, so I only get to serve her family with fried macaroni.   Harap they enjoy the dish.  We had a great time meeting each other, our partners get to know each other and our kids making new friends.  Around 10pm Yang mintak diri.  Hope to see you again during your trip home babe... maaf ye kalau layanan terkurang ke apa... Selamat Hari Raya... 

geram I dengan Hayfa ni... comel and chubby...

Yang and I... jealous tau I tengok Yang ni...kurus je... I ni.. menggemuk dengan jayanya... sob..sob..

apart from tamarind candies that I ordered, Yang gave me some halal Thai products for me to try

3)  Jamuan Raya UPP

As usual... I ni ala-ala unregistered staff kat UPP ni... hahaha... apa je function makan-makan dorang surely I would join... ye la... we used to be in the same department before... Bila our current dean buat major reshuffle kat Faculty ni, kitorang pun terpisah.  Kat UPP pun buat potluck jugak... I order kuih dari staf Bendahari... tapi last minit dia bagitau dia tak dapat buat kuih I... sob.. sob... so I just buat bergedil as one of the condiments untuk soto yang Johan order from our colleague Kak Midah.  

sedapnya mini pavlova ni... 

antara juadah yang dihidang:  mee goreng En. Mustaff... sedap..., roti jala, spaghetti bolognaise dan jugak spaghetti carbonara

4)  Jamuan Raya Fakulti Kejuruteraan

Jamuan raya tahun ni meriah sikit sebab we all tak terlibat dengan hias gerai... so, boleh fokus untuk makan.. yeay... and this year ada durian... alhamdulillah... kitorang dapat 2 biji untuk share makan bersama...

Cerita Raya Lagi

Syawal dah melabuhkan tirai... tapi cerita raya I habis lagi... malah banyak nak share ngan uols.... bertabah je la ye... lemme do it bit by bit... Almaklumlah... in the month of Syawal tu I was kinda busy... of course la banyak agenda makan-makan kan.... apart from agenda my boss and officer chomel nak kena table KPI for our division.

Ini kisah raya ke-5 hari tu... since my youngest SIL, Wet aka Cikwet among nieces and nephews tak balik beraya kat Kedah this year and kitorang pun balik KL awal, so we paid her our raya visit.  The Yasmines seronok sangat la dapat jumpa Zahra and Zulfa... They had so much fun main fireworks together... but end up bergaduh... hahahaha... sebab Zulfa main bunga api hala ke Shahnaz... Nakal and lasak dah cik embun (Zulfa) tu sekarang nih....  Owh... why I called Zulfa Cik Embun??? Hihihi... because she was so chubby when she was a baby... even now pun kuat makan.... kipidap Zulfa...

ni dah start nak bergaduh la ni... 

Aidilfitri 2015

Salam Aidilfitri uols.... walaupun dah hari ke-18 Syawal, I still wish raya to all of you... Raya sebulan khennnn.... 

On the first day of Syawal tu I woke up early than usual... masuk je waktu solat Subuh, I terus bangun and solat.  Then terus ke dapur sebab I nak kena prepare all the condiments for my mee rebus.  Dah siap-siap and semua food dah serve barulah I mandi... mak-mak memang camtu kan...

depa breakfast dulu sebelum pi masjid tuk solat raya

Our theme color untuk this year in Royal Yellow.... wahhh.... fefeeling anak raja sangat... hahahaha...   After all of the family member were back from solat raya, we had a sesi bermaafan and also photography session....

This year, first time I pakai my baju raya half day...panas uols... tak tahan...  by noon ja I dah tukar to baju dok rumah.... terus aktiviti mengemas dapur dimulakan... hahahaha.. even Pakdin ajak ikut dia pi beraya rumah cikgu dia kat Pendang pun I refuse... panas sampai I dah takde mood nak dress up untuk gi beraya... anak-anak pun sama.. so kitorang dok melepak kat rumah je la with my in-laws, nephews and nieces sambil makan-makan...

We then off to Pak Teh's place in Kg. Teroi, Yan.  Supposed to meet my in-laws there... beraya sekali... Upon reached there, my girls tak mau turun keta pulak dah.... depa sanggup duduk dalam keta berpanasan without air-condition.  Bila my in-laws sampai barulah depa nak turun... haih...
