Monday blues...not!!!

I normally look forward to Mondays...Walaupun orang selalu kata Monday Blues lah, Black Monday lah..but I always find that I look forward to a fresh start to the week. Not so true this moring though. When the alarm went off at 6am , I could have kicked myself for turning in late at 2am last night...Sms'ed to my gym buddy, Kak Pah, if she wants to go to the gym, half wishing that she's down with stomach ache or something ...but just not my luck.. . so got up and when reached the gym at around 7.30am...when through the normal cardio stuff..
After about 15 minutes on the treadmill and discussing with Kak Pah on the possibility of taking MC today, hehehe...I felt better, a bit energised and made it to work after all, but not without vowing that I will leave the office at 6pm sharp today! And I did, well, not exactly at 6pm lah...but before 6.30pm. The sun was still there!!! Yeay!!! I did it!!



When I reached home the purple wall in the room near the bathroom has transformed a lil bit with the stuff that we have discussed together earlier. Take a look. Cantik tak?? I added the random lines on the wall and added words like "sleep", "snore" and Aisyah added the "zzzzz" and I also drew a naive flower, some leaves and my attempt at a teddy bear turned into "8 am"....... I can't draw for nuts.

My sister also added the word 'EAT' in the kitchen. Eat in the kitchen...??Geddit???
And the vermillion wall in Khairin sleep area cum TV room is adorned with a putty filler flower. I like it a lot. M getting bored of the orange wall after almost 6 years...

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

Image
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...
