The week that was...

Just done a good 5km run around the block. I have to keep reminding myself over and over again usually after the 2nd km, to get back to bed early if I wanna have a steady pace. The current sleep pattern seems to be right before or just after the time is 1am in the morning. Must try harder.

Yesterday, was the 2nd session of our umrah course...yes..Alhamdulillah we will making that holy trip to Mekah with the rest of the people from work who has registered to make the trip this year and Alhamdulillah, hubs, Aisyah and Imran will be going as well.
I attended the NST Malaysia's CEO of The Year Award at KL Convex last night. This is the 15th instalment of the award and for the first time this year a lady CEO won the award. She is the CEO of KPJ Health Care. The event was very nicely done with a hotel ballroom set-up, without cheesy chandeliers, Patchi chocolates as door gifts, fine dining menu and the red carpet. The PM and his wife was in attendance, not that I care..My companies was interesting enough to not bore me to my bones. Thanks Naquib and Tony for making it bearable.


With Kee Hua Chee...check out those clothes!!
The signing bit

STYLO 2010 launched in style on Thursday. I went to Pavillion with Naquib. The boy seems to appear at the most convenient moment. I would've hated driving to KL alone and Naquib makes good company. For someone who's born in '88, he sure knows the songs I grew up with and managed to keep me entertained with his funny rendition of the 80's songs (those even before he was born). Funny chap!

We will be making a trip to Melaka today. For a wedding, my father-in-law's! Will blog more about this when we come back. My Mak and big sis will be meeting us in Melaka, which is the nicest part about this weekend.

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...
