Anniversary Weekend

Hahaha....it was on 18th October...I forgot!! Hubby remembered!! Which was quite touching coz he hardly remembers his own birthday!

The Rebak trip was somewhat an Anniversary get-away trip which was the reason I forgot the date as we celebrated earlier...hahaha...alasan!! Anyway, when we were in Langkawi in one of the shops looking around, tetiba terdengar dari radio kat dalam kedai tuh....Datuk Dr Fadzillah Kamsah kata (lebih kurang macam ni lah bunyinyer):

"Sesungguhnya pasangan yang Allah tentukan untuk kita adalah sebaik-baik pasangan untuk kita...tak kisahlah kalau lepas beberapa tahun kahwin tetiba kita tersedar yang pasangan kita tu tu ada kekurangan sikit sini, sikit sana...kerana kita kena menerima pasangan kita dengan penuh keredhaan...barulah berkat...sebab memang Allah dah kata pasangan kita tuh memang yang TERBAIK untuk kita"

In other words, my English speaking readers, accept your love ones for who they are, not who you want them to be...(something like that lah the translation). And it work both ways yer...kalau seorang jer redha yang lagi sorang dok lagu tuh jugak...tak boleh nak tolong yer. Terbayang pulak muka Dr Fadzillah Kamsah...sedang menghangguk-hanggukkan kepala...sambil urut-urut janggut...hehehe...

Anyway, we have had a wonderful, whirlwind 10 years full of ups and downs....and praying for many, many more years to come...insyallah sehingga ke akhir hayat...macam mak & abah also macam Mama & Papa kan, kan, kan??....Aminnn...

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...
