Whirlwind Week!




The suite, the view from the suite, lovely scones and tea coffee, menu yang ada nama Che Det.

Yes, indeed! Langkawi was wonderful. Rebak Island Resort was very nice. Very posh room which faces the sea and we enjoyed our time immensely. The people there really made us feel very welcomed. A note to people who are looking for excitement or a lot of activities though, you have to get out of the resort to do that!! As my daughter puts it, Rebak is a perfect place to do nothing... We ended up watching episodes of DIRT. And also went around the island with the rented Kancil. We went to The Loaf dan berangan-berangan macam Tun Mahathir, enjoying lovely English scones. And unless you are looking for Corning Ware, pinggan mangkuk bagai, minyak gamat and chocolates, Langkawi is not that great for shopping. Honeymoon macam akak...ok lah...

We were in Rebak for 2 nights, reached KL via Air Asia on the third day, late at night and was off to Pahang the next morning.
Istana Abu Bakar all lighted up and the the good ole feel good gangsters.
The wedding is...different..It was a reunion of sorts, where I met most of my old colleagues who have since left the company, which was the fun bit. The whole ceremony started late though, what with waiting for the Sultans to arrive and we ended up eating at around 10ish..but Tuanku Pahang had a great time singing with the invited singers i.e Nurul, Fauziah Latif (who couldn't sing to save her life), Haiza (Hai who???), Siti Nurhaliza and the rest of the royal family had a fun time showcasing their talents. They are really a talented lot... Tuanku's talent sure rubbed on to the grandchildren...Ehmmm.... I wonder if Tengku Nurul can sing..
Tengku Nurul and Najmi looked very happy albeit a bit tired, ye lah dah masuk 3 hari the ceremonies have been going on. I'm sure they are loking forward to the end of the whole event. Do watch the airing of THE WEDDING STORY on ntv7 on the 9th November at 8.30pm.

Here I am, back home, taking another day off before starting work tomorrow...Went to the gym this morning...Rasa macam nak pengsan sebab dah lama sangat tak exercise! Aisyah starts her PMR today. Hope for the best for her...Insyallah!!

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...
