My Tuesday and I

This has been a crazy week. Yesterday my big boss freaked me out twice! No details here..but really a double downer to my already down Tuesday. The thing about me is that I don't get Monday blues that most people get on the first day of work week. Monday is the day that I will be full of energy and zest to conquer the world..chewah. My energy levels go down with each passing day especially mid week. And yesterday, I missed my morning walk which I think was part of the reason of the energy sap. Amende aku merepek nih...

Well, always a good side to things though, as always. Tuesday night is 'vegetate in front of TV night'. From 8.30pm with Grey's Anatomy on ntv7 followed by 9.30pm with Ugly Betty and then Desperate Housewives till 11.30pm. I love, love, love Grey's. Always give me something to think about every week, besides the other thinking I do lah... Like yesterday's episode Meredith was saying (in her v.o) among other things..
...and then there are the sacrifices that you can't even figure out why you're making. A wise man once said, "You can have anything in life, if you will sacrifice everything else for it". What he meant is nothing comes without a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose. Too often, going after what feels good, means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in, means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building. Of course the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming. When we don't have time to come up with a strategy, to pick a side or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the other way around, that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear.
This is what I call good writing...when you can relate to the script...and just slap yourself on the head..and say how true that sounded. Manalah kita tak lebih senang relate dengan citer-citer omputih ni kan? These are the kind of script writing that really blows my mind..Bila lah ada script writer boleh buat cam nih kat Mesia..and does not sound corny.
Well peeps, sacrifices are choices that we make. And when we made that choice, somehow or rather you have to live with it no matter how painful things can get. But the best thing is, you also have a choice to make the best out of things..kan?kan? Allah is great and always fair. And I believe what goes around will definitely, always never fail to come around. It's us who chose not to see it. What lah...akak merapu all this holy, holy stuff. This is one thing I actually promised I will not do when I decided to start the blog..preach..cos believe me..I sucked at it! Better stop myself before I go any farther.
So, am outtta here, peeps! Have a good day tomorrow! Salaam...

When can a Malaysian Scriptwriter write such line without sounding so corny?

When we start to consider experience writer as someone who writes a lot instead of somebody who's been working as production crew for years or been reading malay scripts for years.

"ayu percaya abang kan? ayu tengtok mata abang. ayu percaya kan" and this is from a 'horror' movie. Memang 'horror' skrip dia.

Script citer melayu semua sama jer. Mesti guna ayat power ranger ala gaban. Akhirnya kuarla... memacam versi.

Kesian industry kita...

Jemput jemput pisang/ CeKODOK/Banana Balls

Burp! Alhamdulillah... dah berbuka semua? We berbuka at home today. Actually since puasa started 9 days ago, memang kami berbuka at home. We prefer it that way. Tak kelam kabut nak solat maghrib di luar although Alhamdulillah sekarang ni banyak tempat berbuka dah provide tempat bersolat. Tapi mana boleh beat buka at home, lepas buka boleh terus lepak-lepak atas katil solat Maghrib kan? kan? So we either tapao from one of the shops near home or wherever we fancy or I would cook simple stuff for buka. Today our menu was : our usual brown rice, ikan goreng selar kuning (yellow thread fish), kangkung goreng belacan ( water spinach fried with prawn paste chilli), acar buah (bought from my cousin) , my husband’s telur dadar (omellete) and for sweets, I made jemput jemput . This is what we call these banana balls or orang belah sini panggil cekodok (I could never associate this beauties with an animal name, though... kodok sounds kinda gross). So for people who asked how to mak...

Japan, April 2018

I was in Tokyo last month. Alone... well there were millions of people in Japan but yeah I was travelling alone. Up till the night I boarded the plane, I was still asking myself “Oi! Apasal nak pergi sorang arr? Japan pulak tu... London kan senang? Gang ramai, semua cakap English” Ok panic kejap tapi tak boleh keluar kapal terbang dah.. So, yup, there I was on that MH night flight with an itinerary for 8 days in Japan. No turning back, perempuan! April was my birthday month and what I wanted was to spend it quietly alone. Anyway, last year I had enough birthday celebrations to last me till this year. Alhamdulillah for good friends and family! Sampai Narita at almost 7am. First time in Tokyo and how do I buy a train card? With a lot of asking (ayam and itik bercakap) and hand gestures. Masuk train Jepun at peak hours and everyone in the train is either sleeping, reading, scrolling their phones or staring into space, all except for a Canadian guy and a Melayu Malaysia yang sama2 ag...

Salam Ramadan

Assalamualaikum and Salam Ramadan! Wow! Hello! Am back! Been a while. 6th day of Ramadan and I’ve been quite good (I think) managing my food intake. Saya sudah tua la; have to start being more serious about what I put in this old engine. So, I was in a 10 days detox program just before Ramadan and managed to bring the weight down by 2.7kg; not much but good for me as it has sort of kick off a better eating habit. People who knows me are well aware that I love food. I used to run a lot so the weight was somehow kept in check. Now that I have significantly decrease my running mileage, the weight has become quite stagnant if not, moved up a bit! Eek! So for those interested, this is my go-to recipe for sahur, which is super easy and super healthy. It’s the Chia Seed Pudding. Lots of recipes online but here’s mine: I use a mason jar this. Just use 5 tablespoons of organic chia seeds ( I bought mine at Bake With Yen). They are cheaper than at your name brand organic shop. I...
