Hmm... again

Saturday : I finally got my dvd collection of The O.C - 1st season complete set. Yes, finally I don't have to share and can just layan anytime I want, no need to pinjam-pinjam. It is currently drama series of the month (since august, stil top no. 1) for me and my cousins. Amily started it, and now everybody is hooked with The O.C. Even the guys pun (Still cannot believe Aizat can layan this kind of drama series.

I bought the dvd from Sg Wang last Saturday - cost me RM48.00 for 7 disc! Takpe, Seth Cohen punyer pasal. Also bought new pair of shoes - thought of using it for Raya, but yesterday dah sarung. Hmm... have to get a new one for raya then, hehehe. Was quite annoyed with the sales girls from the shop. She had to make an announcement that I'm wearing size 9... Aiyak!!! Tau la my kaki besar, but no need to ask me like 5 times "Kakak, you pakai size sembilah ah? Tapi you punya kaki tak nampak besar pun!!" Cet!

Sunday : Finally I got the chance to stay-in the whole Sunday. Do laundry, and clean up myself! At night when to Amy's place - got myself a new baju and blouse (belanja lagi tu!!!)

Monday : I had dinner at The Regeant. Went there with friends, the buffet cost like RM70++ but all I ate was fried bihun, lamb shank, kambing masak tomato, and ice-cream. Yang lain tak pandang. Dunno why. Perhaps I was busy attending to the kids kut.

Tuesday : Work! And my cute kancil kena scratch!! But dad said that new car is coming - so ceria sket :)

Today I felt really down with work! So many things to do in so little time! I'm hoping for miracle tomorrow and Friday! :(

okaylah, 8pm still at office, am going back now!

Take care everyone!

COCA - KL PLAZA

I went to this place sometime last month with my cousins. It was sort of our last get together for 2005 until our next meeting next year, and also we celebrated my birthday and amy's, and as an agenda to ketuk our darling chalee (as he is the one earning highest income among 7 of us, hehehe)

The steamboat was delicious. The kuah tomyam was really-really-really yummy!! .... sakai giler mkn kuah tu. There were varieties you can choose from chicken, beef, fish and other seafood. But my favourite was fish glue. Their thai pineapple fried rice was nice too (recommended as I don't like pineapple fried rice sangat la...). We kept on adding the menu, I think the waiter that night sah balik migrain tahap cipan after attending to our demands (dah la datang lambat, kitchen nak tutup lagi mau order.) And of course, we turned the place as if it was ours, hehehe. 7 of us makan-makan nyer bill was RM350.00 (around 10euro per pax ) but puas hati -the one tak puas hati was chalee as he had to pay, hehehe.

The place is on 2nd Floor, KL Plaza, Bukit Bintang. Kitchen close at 10pm! :)

Take care everyone!

CHEESE CAKE

I had chocolate cheese cake for lunch today. Cannot tahan dah, as my friends were talking about it in our morning email session. Secret Recipe has great choice of cheese cake. Just name whatever flavour - they have it. But my favourite will be Chocolate Cheese Cake, and one more which I had for my birthday last month - donno the name (must get the name la!!! - tadi carik tak nampak pun)

Another favourite is blueberry cheese cake from Coffeebean. But never take their Oreo cheesecake -tak sedap and twice I mkn, twice stomach ache, donno why!

Tapi at this moment am really craving for Juju's cheese cake - dia masak cake, sedap gilos! hmm....

BACK TO MY NORMAL LIFE

Baru balik makan, menu for lunch today is NASI BERIANI. Tapau kat somewhere near my office. Ada ayam (itu chef goreng garing2- yummy!), bergedel kentang, and acar. It cost me RM4.00 only. Nasi lupa mintak separuh, penat la nak kasi habiskan.

Finally I'm back to my normal life, ie : having lunch at lunch time. The last 2 weeks had lunch at 4-5pm, so called busy with MATTA Fair. Yap, was working whole last week until 9.30pm last night at PWTC. (Tapi MINAH : I tak la turun 2-3kg due to MATTA fair, makan tetap makan, cuma odd hours ja, hehehe)

Last Saturday, I left office around 8pm. Then went to my chef's house carik food. Mmmm.... I know my chef never failed me. Got fried bihun, fried wantan (I ate this a lot -mcm mkn kacang!! dah lah panas2 baru kuar from kuali!!!!), chocolate cake, apple pie, and ice-cream. Ice-cream was very-very-very yummy!!! It was vanila, then got orrange in it, with peanuts, and yummy strawberry sauce. mmmmmmmmmmmm.................... :) DELICIOUS! Lepas kempunan nak pi makan baskin-robin last week.

By the way, from now onwards, this blog will highlight only on FOOD @ JALAN-JALAN CARI
MAKAN. I don't care whether you people can tolerate it or not, be it in RAMADHAN!!! Baru aku tukar topic jap, semua orang cakap aku jiwang la, pastu sibok2 hantar email n sms nak tau I dedicate poem tu kat sapa. Yes, the poem is not my original, yes am dedicating it to someone, but am not telling you people - only me & recipient ja yang tau. And to my friends & my sibuk2 cousin - you can keep on guessing, who knows one of you might get the correct answer! Hehehe.

Take care everyone!

Hmm...

You ask me if I love you
And I don't know what to say
You're my best friend and my lover
The thought that starts each day

You ask me if I'll stay
But deep down I want to run
Though I cannot imagine life without you
You might just be the one

I don't know how to tell you
That I need and want you so
Your kiss, your touch, your eyes, your smile
Are things I can't let go

But then you ask me if I love you
Those three words I cannot say
I'm afraid to give my love
And lose you anyway

But if you look into my eyes
You'll know then that it's true
I might not ever say it
But just know friend....that I do ..

AYAM MASAK RIBENA

Hari ni posting spesel sket for my favourite chef.

I've tried many times to cook this recipe, but it always ended jadi ayam masak entah apa2. Everytime my chef cooks I will make sure I'm next to him to measure whatever he puts in the pot, but the taste never the same.

I'm not sure anyone else have tried this, but ayam masak ribena is one of my favourite dish. With the yummy spices and sweet taste of ribena......... yummy!!!. I guess if i ever get married, my lauk pengantin mesti ada ayam masak ribena ni. (hmmm, ni request in advance ni my dear chef -although you're not invited "wink-wink")

Well, my chef : Welcome to the club! Wish you the very best in life. Good luck with the family coming. Thank you for the wonderful 14 years of friendship, looking forward for the future years coming. Happy birthday!

Take care everyone!

SCUBA - AN INTRODUCTORY

Semalam pegi scuba-diving introductory class. Banyak murah. Just bring yourself and RM50.00. Kat cheras, somewhere kat jalan-jalan rempah ratus tu. The place, from outside ingat car wash centre, tapi masuk dlm, fuyo, custom-made swimming pool for learning scuba diving! canggih!

There were 9 of us, all equipment and attire provided. The instructor was very sporting, humble and penuh kesabaran. I had trouble with breathing underwater. Banyak kali I kena naik atas sebab either I cannot breathe properly or my balancing tak betul. But after a while and kept telling myself that I can do it, hmm..... managed to go down 10ft!!! Yeyeyeye. 2 jam dalam air, sampai kecut semua jari kaki and tangan. But it was a great experience. The instructor sibuk suruh kitorang sign-up, but the cost is quite expensive. Probably after raya, or if can get bonus next year, then can consider, hehehe. You need to go for more classes, then go thru the exams, get your certificate from PADI, then only can go scuba diving la kat tempat2 canggih tu, hehehe. For the time-being, the RM50.00 class will do me good. Anyone interested, let me know, can form a group and boleh belajar ramai.

After class, of course LAPAR gila, went makan2 at Raju Restaurant. At Jalan Chantek (5/13). From Federal Hiway, naik exit EPF, turn left, go straight until you see Jalan Chantek on the left. take that road, you will come to a row of shops, the last one is Raju. Makan sedap, they somehow marinate the ayam, udang, sotong, ikan with don't know what rempah, then they deep-fry garing2. Yummy! Kurma ayam pun sedap. But be prepared, at least RM20.00 sorang, but puas hati, sbb tambah 2 kali.

Apa2 pun puas hati with yesterday, balik rumah, lepas mandi baru rasa sengal2 badan. Kaki bengkak and merah2 sbb kena gigit nyamuk (ni kena blame mr shorty sbb heret I pegi tempat kandang nyamuk after makan) But this morning ok dah. I hope everyone yg pergi okay lah, ada yg nak demam lah, badan still sengal2 sampai sekarang - hmm, tak fit kut??? hehehehe.

Okay, today kena cabut awal, although byk lagi work not finish. Besok 8am morning meeting!!! hmmm.... kalau boleh bangun la. :). Okay, am going home, got kuay teow date with my darlings, baru nak try since everyone is talking about it. Kalau sedap, boleh masuk blog.

Take care everyone!

GOL & GINCU

Went to KLCC on Tuesday night and watched GOL & GINCU with my two girlfriends. After quite sometime postponing, finally we managed to meet up. It was my second round watching the movie, which quite a surprise as I dont go for Malay movies at cinema. :) But it was a good one. About love, family, friendship, sport, teamwork, backstabbing, and most important point never to give up with your life! Another fact why I went for 2nd round - abang beskal!!! hehehehehe.

Movies is very expensive these days, so ladies, check this out :

Tuesday Ladies Day
KLCC -RM 8
ONE UTAMA -RM 7
SUNWAY -RM 7
BUKIT RAJA -RM 6
MINES -RM 6
KINTA CITY -RM 6

I also discovered there is a new cinema in Ampang -GALAXY AMPANG (opposite IPD Ampang). Ticket is RM9.00, they have 10 cinema, seating ok, and featuring latest movie.

Back to abouve story, after movie, my favourite part - MAKAN TIME!!! We had chicken chop from the hot dog shop at food court. RM8.90 per plate. The gravy was nice but chicken was over cooked buat spoil ja. While makan I kena leter from my friends!! :( Ish....

Yesterday also hari kena tembak from my friends. Ok-ok, i deserve it! But most important I am not loosing you people. Can't afford it. How much I make per year x 10 times pun cannot exchange for you guys.

A friend of mine asked why my blog byk reflect on food saja? If the posting is about a place or a story, food topic mesti ada. Well, that is me... I LOVE FOOD! Hehehe. If I merajuk, no need to waste time buy me flowers or chocolate (well, choc can consider.... hehehehehe) bawak I makan ayam ja dah cukup, sure okay cepat!

I guess nanti kena cari chef la for future husband. Makan suka, masak hopeless!!!! (Thank god I had Sarah for housemate when I was in Canberra, kalau tak mau balik Malaysia kurus!!!!)

Monday and Tuesday depan last puasa ganti, aiyak...... I thought dah habis, check balik, hmm... can't say much - monthly thingy.

Am so bizi with work nowadays. Really looking forward for 24th September!!!

Take care everyone!

FAMILY & FRIENDS

Ish, lama tak update blog ni!!!

Dalam sedar tak sedar, dah masuk bulan September. Next month dah puasa (SAPE-SAPE YANG TAK HABIS GANTI TU, JGN BUAT-BUAT TAK INGAT PULAK!!!!), pastu raya, then xmas, ish.... Tinggal lagi 4 bulan ja dah masuk 2006. Another new year. Umur pun tambah lagi satu tahun :( whuaaaa......

Azam tahun ni ada yang dah dapat, ada yang tengah buat, ada yang tak start2 lagi. And also ada yang kena cancel or carry forward tahun depan la kot, hehehehe. Tapi ada satu azam lagi mesti start n buat this year gak. Dapat fulfill ke tak, that is up to apa yang dah ditetap kan by Allah.

Last month I banyak spend my time with family. My cousins yang ramai2 tu balik cuti, then banyak plak kenduri, and latest my pak anjang meninggal last week on Thursday. My parents pun were here from Thursday, semalam baru balik SP. Adik dah pindah dok rumah sendiri. Takde dia, takde orang nak sakat me n kak teh kat rumah. And I takde orang nak kasi leter or tengok dia main game tengah2 mlm buta! (Ngan kak teh tak boleh leter, nanti kena leter balik.... lagi pun kalau leter lebih2 nanti dia tak nak sapu rumah, hehehehe) Betul la cakap my dad, no matter what family is very important. Suka atau tak, tetap darah daging, tetap keluarga. Kalau diorang kasi sakit hati kita, jangan jadi alasan nak balas balik.

Your close friends pun important jugak. Especially those who have been with you with ur ups and downs. Yang you dah anggap macam keluarga. I have let down a group of my very close friends many times lately. Just hope that it will not happen again.

For the next 2 weeks I will be very busy with MATTA fair coming. Hmm, byk work la!!!! Nasib baik last weekend betul2 lepak, this weekend, next weekend kena kerja!!!!

Hari Sabtu went to KLCC tgk Midnite with Iza and Sarah. Tengok Herbie. Sakit perut tahan ketawa. Before that makan2 kat Uncle Chilis. Chicken and mushroom soup & Brocolli and cheese soup! Yummy gila! I makan Monteray Chicken ja la. Lepas ni kena variety kan menu la, balik2 order ayam! Nanti muka pun jadi ayam!

Ahad pagi pergi breakfast with Babah n Mama kat Al-Malik kat Gombak. Our favourite Siti Fatimah dah kena tutup, so have to go for 2nd choice. Then pegi pasar tani, cari sayur, kerepek, ikan, roti canai instant, samosa instant. Beli sket nyer byk, tapi satu pun tak bawak balik. Hantar rumah opah. Nasib baik selalu tgk ikan jenis apa opah masak kat rumah tu, nak suruh pilih n bagi tau nama, memang la tak reti. Sayur pun fail, pakai tunjuk ja kat tukang jual tu. Kalau I kenal pun mungkin kailan ja la. I discovered siput belitung. Selalu nampak orang makan, tapi tak tau apa nama siput tu. Siput saya tak makan, tak reti lah...

Noon I went out pegi MKM (Maktab Kerjasama Malaysia - tak tau pun tempat ni wujud!!!) kat PJ, beli kicap 2 botol kat this one usahawan punyer fair. Then went to Kuala Selangor. All the way 46km to makan cendol and laksa. Tapi kau-kau gila sedap. Ngan lemak dia, mkn 2 mangkuk terus! Hari panas, laksa pedas, dapat cendol sejuk, mmmmm........ Balik pegi KLCC, pusing2 beli barang sket and cookies -ish mana lah badan tak bulat!!! (kalau ada sape terlalu kuala selangor tu, i rekomen makan cendol situ. Kedai tepi jalan ja. Kalau dari KL, lepas petronas, belah kiri. Ada signboard byk kaler merah, hijau and hitam putih tulis cendol pulut. And make sure try the laksa too!!!! Semalam kitorang makan 3 laksa, 4 cendol, baru RM11.00)

Before balik rumah kitorang singgah Hillside kat Bukit Antarabangsa, panggil kawan2 and had dinner there. I makan nasi goreng ja, RM5.60 satu pinggan!!! Then order TACOs share ramai2. (Tapi ada orang tu kedekut tak nak share nak makan sorang2 :) hehehe) Balik rumah perut rasa penuh. Nasib baik hari ni puasa. Kasi perut rehat sket. Hehehehe.

Okay lah, byk plak membebel. New month, new beginning, never too late to restart your life -that is what babah told me on Sunday morning. To my friends n cousins yang concern with my depression week, tengkiu very much.

Take care everyone!
