Change 2

This is the second time this month that I write about change, but this one is following the first episode of Grey's Anatomy season 4 that I've just finished watching on ntv7. After the US premiere in July with all the hoohaa of the writers' strike, it's finally hit our shore. Ye lah walaupun DVD cetak rompak dah berlambak, I was not tempted to watch it earlier. Yeah, been busy...

Shonda Rhimes did it again. Brilliant writing... it's very rare that I can cry over TV dramas. Movies, yeap but TV...very rare...I'm glad it's back..This week's episode "A change is gonna come" revolves around the changes that each and every character has to face in this season.


Alex and Christina are both coping with lost love. Derek and Meredith with their on again-off again relationship. George having to cope with going back into internship and wallowing in self-pity, Izzie's still in love with George while George tries to fight his feelings to no avail, while Dr Bailey still can't accept the fact that the Chief choses Callie to be the new Chief Resident over her...Gosh...this is going to be an exciting season..


I must mention some of the lines....


Meredith said "Change...we all don't want it..we all hate it but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change or we get left behind"

"It hurts to grow (change), anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying...and sometimes; sometimes change is good...sometimes change is everything"


Meredith treats a pregnant woman from an accident whose arm had been severed. Mark manages to reattach her arm, but during surgery she goes into labor. She was shit scared saying she's alone without family and the baby is fatherless and Meredith comforted her saying "It's much better to succeed being alone than to be in a relationship and feel like a failure all the time" and then George delivers the baby safely.


George is hardly excited about delievering the baby. But Lexie said "We all have problem but we change and we get over it" and she told George to "stop feeling sorry for yourself" as he is not the only one whose life is not going according to plan, and urges him to take pride in delivering the baby.


I think I'm getting obsessed with the series...again I asked bilalah Malaysia nak ada drama Melayu macam nih? private Practice which is a spin-off of Grey's also created by Shonda Rhimes has a different style altogether. I'm reserving my comments until the next few episodes. Still too early to judge...


I feel so spent today...I should be, I guess.

This day when the first thing I did was bringing Aisyah to DSH for her long overdue mysthenia graevis medication and thinking will there come a day that she will stop needing the drugs.

This day that my maid is not around.

This day when I thought that the company futsal event is tomorrow when it's really today.

This day that I decided to practice yoga at home.

This day that I received news that my brother-in-law's wife has been diagnosed with 2nd stage breast cancer....my heart goes out to the both of them. Be strong, adik-adikku...and stay positive..

My own predicament pales in comparison and I immediately stop feeling sorry for myself....
Ya Allah, berikanlah kekuatan kepada hambamu yang lemah....

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...
