Blunder ...

'Tote' - pose ala kangaroo

I think I shed 100gm today. Berjalan 15 minit boleh shed sebanyak tu tak? Harap2 boleh ... tapi boleh blahlah! ... hahaha (ohh? ketawakan kita eh?).

Hari ni ke Tepan nak buat tranxn sket. Tak de mood nak pusing2 bazir minyak cari tempat letak kereta; jawapannya memang impossiblelah. Pulak2 tu masa weekdays dan almost lunch time. I pulak ada misi penting so I park at parking lot yang 2 tingkat kat tengah2 dunia Tepan tu..

Tepan ni macam Las Vegas jugak agaknya, sentiasa sibuk dan sesak. Las Vegas tu sibuk/sesak ke? Hehe, mana nak tau sebab tak pernah pergi LV pun. Handbag LV pun I tak de, tapi bukan pun lawa sangat LV tu, kan? (anggur masam!); tapi Las Vegas tu memang sibuk/sesak almaklum ramai berpusu2 tengok show Celine. Now Celine takde, giliran Cher to perform. Habis kontrek Cher, another international artiste comes in .. It's Chomz's turn... Can't wait tapi dia tu femes ke? Har3.

Back to Tepan .. mula2 I tuju BBM. Heranlah.. Nak deposit $ tapi tak boleh guna cheque, OK takpe. Pastu pergi BHR.. yang ni wonderful! tapi takkan satu tempat ni aje yang terima deposit thru cheque? 'Merepek darab tiga' betul but I learnt something today, thank you.

Keluar dari BHR singgah kedai sebelah beli lauk (takkan nak masak, kan? dahlah penat jalan kaki dari satu point ke satu point disimbah peluh nan masin). I beli ayam kampung dipercikkan, solok ikan, kerabu pegaga, *terung dan laksam (*both meant for dinner, but tentunya laksam tu untuk I). Boleh tahan proactive kan?

.

Bila tiba rumah, kekanda tengah sibuk beri makan kucing (population: 11 aje). Dia ni bukan tanned sebab main golf ke apa tapi sebab tiap hari duk 'berjemur' kendalikan needs and wants kucing2 tu. Semoga diorang doakan kesejahteraan tuan & memnya, amin.
.

Nak dijadikan cerita .. I made a blunder .. tak perasan that I wrote 'terlebih zero dan tersilap ruang koma' on the deposit slip, makanya digits yang I tulis differ from the amount yang I tulis in words. Mana satu nak digunakan? Har3 .. no wonder I failed my maths!

Called up BHR .. mesti beritau tang kesilapan yang tak disengajakan tu. Staff tu kata"it's been rectified". Is it? thank you (and special thank to penternak kucing sebab dia yang spot the error..).

Tapikan you, alangkah bestnya kalau terlebih zero tu really materialised? I sure terbang jauh pergi jemputan anak Azieda kawin w'pun dia tak jemput... :-)

.

P/S: Kena marah sebab park kereta kat tempat tu.. "Bahaya" ..

Happy Ann ...

masterpiece - sendiri lakar

Received a call just after midnight (to be exact 12.08am) from Puteri Gunung Ledang ...

T: happy anniversary mi ..

I: aaah? ha'aahhlah hari nih .... lupaaa..

T: apalaa umi nih, abah pun sama. Dua2 lupa, T juga yang ingat ..

I: tapi selalunya abah ingat

T: abah pun kata dia lupa. T baru kol dia tadi, abah kata jangan bitau umi dia lupa

I: takpe T diam2 aje, nanti umi wish dia konon2 umi ingat dulu

T: ehhh... cakap aje umi pun lupa.. T yang ingatkan.. umi kena jujur

I: oklaaa, umi memang selalu jujur kan?

Bila dengar 'klok-klak' kat pintu (kesian TB kena bukak pintu sendiri), I pun 'in my element' ie acting purak2 tidur (kat bawah ni memang dah tersedia my 3-piece bantal busuk, 2 small cushions + 1 big one yang semakin hari semakin leper..). As usual dia sure beri salam dulu sebaik saja pijak kaki masuk rumah. Aisehh.. salam tu kena jawab pelan2lah nampaknya, I kan tidur? Jawab kuat kalu, nampak benar I tak menjiwai watak (kihkihkih ... seronok nih).

As TB enters the living room, dia beri salam sekali lagi - lebih kuat dari tadi. Ehh, orang tengah tidur nih.. mana boleh jawab salam? Masih dalam watak, maka salam dijawab also pelan2. Macam tau2 aje I ni 'tidur dalam watak', dia terus datang lagi dekat ..

/

He: happy anniversary Cxxx

I: mana you tau I tak tidur?

He: tauu..

I: haaa, you pun lupa kan?

He: ingat.. cuma T tu aje yang cepat

Yes, today is our wedding anniversary. Selama berkongsi hidup dengannya, walaupun ada saja dugaan datang melanda, namun tidak sekali ianya datang darinya. Syukur alhamdulillah ..

Baru2 ni I tertanya dia "masa you mula2 kenal I dulu, ada ke you straight away pikir nak kawin dengan I, that I AM THE ONE?" <-- Cewah! apsal tetiba I tak malu nak tanya soalan cam tu? Patutnya soalan tu ditanya like decades ago, kan? Tapi kalau tanya masa dolu, lagilah malu ..

Soalan tu ada disediakan jawapan objektif ala UPSR:

a. tak jugaa... (tak juga? maknanya you ada yang lain ehh?)

b. malas nak cari lain (bagus gak.. siang2 tak suka poligami)

c. hmm.. (hadoii.. masih tak sure2 lagi ke?)

d. yalah you cute (I taulah.. heheh.. yang ni I suka)

e. none of the above (none? you biar betul, I majuk tak masak kang)

Excuse me, nak minum sirap kejap, dahagalaaa...

Demotivated ...

There are more than 10 articles terbengkalai dalam suasana 'draft' reside at Al-kisah, half-way done and done half-heartedly. Why, Somuffins? Have you lost interest to write? Ehhh, don't laah cos I want you to write still (doesn't matter; ramble ke, off topic ke). Do write as you know how, ok?

BTW, have you forgotten of your so-called ambition to have your own column? I know and you know that you would never be a columnist of sort, but let's have fun while it lasted, HERE ... Come on, where's your semangat?? Anak HL never gives up especially when she has put her mind and soul into doing something good; you know that, don't you??

Hmm..hmm.. gulp!

Alaaa... just when I'm about to have the world's most unpopular motivator around to motivate me, she has to go pulak (to be the mithali wife that she is, konon)..

Aaarghh .. I'm already demotivated .. BUT WHAT'S COOKING DEAR MOTIVATOR?? :-)

Rajin vs malas = kenyang

I'm all alone tonight so it's not wise to leleh2kan peluh masak dinner for ONE, tul tak? I just fried some keropok and karipap pusing for dinner ditemani secangkir air oren kaw2 with ice .. alhamdulillah nikmatnya!

Just now I lompat at LG's blog, tak tahan tengok her kueh seri muka. And guess what, nak makan punya pasal, I pun mencemar dulilah. Ingat tadi nak save peluh untuk esok lusa, tapi terkeluar juga masa perah kelapa tadi. You all perasan tak peluh kita masin? Hehehe, sumpah takde meleleh dalam santan walau setitik pun :-)

Bahan2 ikut sukatan sendiri, agak2 aje. Pulut 1 cup (rice cooker), 2 telur, 2 cups santan pekat dan gula pasir (beribu2 granules.. haha).

Why aren't the seri muka GREEN with envy?? Heheh, sebab takde daun pandanlah you although I thought I have pandan paste. Maybe I had that in my dream! Anyhow, I titiskan setitik aisen kuning. Should've 'putted' a few more drops, kan?

Malas vs rajin maka jadilah seri muka cam nih. Pulut tu I kukus dalam rice cooker tapi guna api atas stove. 1st time kukus pulut sebab selalunya I tanak cam masak nasi aje (another lazy case). Tak sangka cantiknya rupa pulut yang I kukus tu, ehem.. Pernah 2-3 kali masak pulut dan buat seri muka guna microwave (now tak boleh dah sebab my oven/mw dah 6 bulan koma).

Oleh kerana rice cooker tu sempit, I terpaksa kukus 3 kali untuk 4 mangkok kecik tu. Sanggup you sebab malazzz nak keluarkan pengukus dari store. Tapi OK jugak guna bowl kecik cam tu, kan? Scoop aje tak payah potong2...

Nampak gaya I lah orangnya yang akan habiskan all the 4 bowls sebab hubby/D tak suka. T pulak tak balik minggu ni tapi kesiannya diaaa sebab dia suka kuih seri muka nih. Sobx3. Kalau T tau, sure dia merungut "Umi ni memang taw.. bila T balik rumah, Umi tak nak pulak masak"..

Habis camana? dah Umi ni kerja berpandukan mood dan cuaca .. so bear with me, ok? Tapi hari tu Umi dah masakkan mee bandung dua kali, kan? kan?

Tiff here, there & everywhere ..

Suka nak tampal gambar ni

Received a phone call from FA while I was getting ready to JJCM. Bunyinya macam in distress aje. True enough she wants to talk to me. Kebetulan dia ada kat sekitar my area so I cadangkan kita jumpa aje. She was delighted and so we met over some drinks, nuggets and french fries.

Bukan selalu I free cam hari tu. Hari tu 'free' sebab mood ada senonoh sket. Had lunch dgn wink2. I bahagia bila dia cuti dan ajak I makan luar. Pastu dia temankan I beli groceries. Wink2 made my day!

Back to my long time friend, FA.

FA: pernah tak you kecik ati dengan adik beradik?

I: pernah

FA: apa you buat?

I: I bitau diorang over the phone, I hantar sms pada semua dan bersemuka

FA pun stori me her dilemma. It was a small misunderstanding between FA and her most kamcing sister over something so minute. FA being so practical, so proactive and ever so willing to help had suggested something to the sister which I find it very sound and sensible; but it was not accepted as such.

Biasalah.. perempuan selalunya akan 'lebihkan' anak dari siapa2 pun walaupun pada dasarnya nampak tak rasional ...

FA tanya apa dia perlu buat, so I yang tak kurang dengan masalah ni pun mencadangkan dia buat itu dan ini (yang baik2 belaka). FA kata dah buat semua tu tapi keadaan masih sejuk. I kata buatlah sekurang2nya 3x.

Baru kejap ni I dapat feedback dari FA. Her sister tak layan satu apa pun. Tak layan calls and sms - still cold. So what's next? Maka CS Siantan ni pun titipkan beberapa usul untuk FA praktikkan and I ended up receiving a text that brought tears to my eyes "I am impress with yr advice". OMG, May Allah bless us and our loved ones..

What was it yang I kecik ati with my siblings? Well .. ceritanya boleh tahan long and winding tapi tak perlah nak juga cerita sikit kat sini.. I kecik ati dgn my siblings bukan kerana diorang dengki, irihati atau buat benda tak baik. I kecik ati for they were not with me when I needed their help. I need one of them to be a mediator between me and another brother. I tak gaduh dgn this particular brother but I need to tell him 'what really happened' between the so-called step niece, her mother (bro's wife) and yours truly. Tulis ni aje dah buat I tegang urat tengkuk! Menci menci menci...

Prior to seeking help from my siblings, I had sent messages to that particular brother informing him why I needed to see him badly, but there was no response whatsoever. Finally after 7 months of waiting patiently n impatiently to pour my heart out, I somehow managed to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. He promised me that he would 'tarbiah' those women. Yeah, you better be bro and I love you for that.. but have you done it?

Todate, I don't see anything changed for the better. The step niece has been quiet since February last year. I try not to judge people or undermine them but my mulut n hati just feel itchy for I so want to say this to them "apa maknanya pergi Mekah buat haji dan umrah tapi you sesuka hati putuskan silaturrahim ...?".

Last raya, one of my eldest sisters said this to me "I'm very sorry for not being there with you when you needed help.. blabla..tralala". She realised at last of the fact that should someone seek help to mend the broken silaturrahim, by all means, you've got to do it (kerana Allah).

In retrospect, T cried like hell as if I was about to enter batu belah batu bertangkup when she read the sms received from the so-called step niece. In between sobs, T blurted "how could she do that to Umi? Kalau adik beradik Umi tak nak bela Umi, biar T yang buat". I tersyahdu sejenak, dara I sanggup bela I dalam situasi diri dia a minor? Aduhh... dugaan, dugaan.

My story kinda blurry with no head or tail but what good does it do if I were to tell all? Well maybe it's good for D & T to consider all that have happened as 'food for thought' - learn from other people's mistakes.

Maybe I should create another blog just for the two of them huh? Those two .. hmmm.. wiss..wiss.. hum..hum..

SMS - SoMuffins Sxxx..

SMS = SoMuffins Sexy!

Pheewit.. but whoever feels like laughing your belly out, pls do so with your mouth tightly zipped. Don't let me hear any sound come out of it, not even a soft hissing, ok? If not nanti I kecik ati.. bila I kecik ati, I merajuk; bila I merajuk I malas nak masak; bila I malas nak masak, I makan kat luar .. haaa.. I like!

I ni tak suka membazir orangnya (ehem), tersangat tak suka membazir when it comes to using the whole 160 characters when sending a message out or when responding to sender's message, so I make full use of it. 160 to the dot or <> 160.

If a text is spilt over to the next page with only a few words in, I will definitely find ways to 'kepal2kan' the words to fit into one screen (kiah3 .. word kepal2kan came as my otak gives the picture of me making a begedil. U know the act of moulding the thing into a ball before you penyek2kan to shape it like a small burger).

Al-kisah, I received a few sms from siFolan; a few short ones which I responded happily. After a while, it gets on my nerves so I ask F "boleh tak tulis panjang sikit dengan soalan2 so that I can answer one shot". F wrote back "this is short messaging system". Haha.. wise answer indeed. I, "yes you are right but sms has 160 characters. Y not make full use of it, we x only can save time but based on financial side of it, we definitely can save some $". Alhamdulillah, F could see and agree with my POV.

Begitulah lebih kurang sandiwara sebabak hal sms = short memang short!

Having said those, it's not like I never sent short messages out. It all depends on what kind of situations I'm in, the kind of persons I interact with, the kind of mood I'm in, blablabla... Many a time *hubby caught me smsing at odd hours and at odd places esp so when I respond to the incoming messages. I feel it is a form of respect to respond fast (unless unforeseen circumstances prevail). * tak gemar bersms (i think sebab dia tak secekap I, heheh)

One night, hubby and I had roti naan & tandoori for dinner at the nearby restaurant. Before heading home, I sms D "nak makan apa?". D "non, tq". So I told hubby "macam tau2 aje kita makan naan". So I tapau naan & tandoori for my bujang bertuah tu. Tiba rumah, I put the whole thing on the dining table, tak pulak kata apa2 kat dia. Soon after that, I was good in my slumberland . Btw, have u experienced listening to your own snores while you are fast asleep? If you must know, only wise women snore, so says WHO yg buat kajian. Hehe, ye ke?).

When I woke up early in the morning, si D ni macam dah kena rasuk pulak. Ketawa cam nak rak, riang ria berdekah2. Apsal Tambi? Dah kena badi tandoori ka?

Meanwhile, sms from T "Yeayyhh! Thank god i got an understanding mader like u" .. haaa, tau pun! (cakap dlm ati).

SMS ni nikmat dunia, semestinya ada nilai2 positif, negatif dan semestinya ada 1001 macam cerita disebalik penggunaan sms nih, tul tak? I shall stop here .. will continue to blabber on the same topic, insyaallah.

Oh ya, kenapa gaknya si D ketawa riang ria terbahak2 tu? Adakah dia dirasuk?

Lolo Bionda ...

L.of.L had mushroom soup, toasted bread and *Lolo Bionda lettuce for breakfast (*kasi ummph sket). Maka berangan2lah beliau sambil menikmati hasil air tangan sendiri. Never knew the combination of lettuce and mushroom soup tasted very rustic or earthy.. simply sedap!

Today kena cekalkan hati - I must do my grocery shopping. It's been a while we all tak makan sayur dgn erti kata sebenar2nya. Bila hubby tanya 'takde sayur'? Jawapannya ialah 'takde', sweet and short.

Where should I go? G or M? G for Jaiyen ok? Hmm, tempat ni dah susah nak park kereta tak macam dulu. Parking bays sebesar alam tu dah ditutup, dono wai. Not to say takde langsong tapi sangat terhad hinggakan Jaiyen offer siapa2 yang memborong lebih RM50, dibenarkan letak kereta kat Summit - percuma untuk 1 jam pertama (kalau tak silap).

Takat beli benda2 ringan bolehlah kot tapi kalau beli beras 10kg dan lain2 barang, nak hangkut ke Summit? Nak tolak troli pun tak sanggup, dengan permukaan jalan yang tak rata tuu.. boleh senget malah terkucil tulang belakang. Amat indah dan produktif kalau ada escalator disambung dari Jaiyen-Summit-Jaiyen (khas untuk warga e.m.a.s), kan?

So the best choice is Moidynn (a'ah, hypermarket baru nih). Kat sini semuanya selesa (esp on choices of food), cuma nak ke supermarket tu, kena jalan sket to get to the escalator. Why diorang tak plan buat supermarket kat ground floor aje?

To go or not to go? (undecided still). If I go tomorrow best sket sebab hubby cuti maka bolehlah dia tolak troli, unload the goods at the cashier, load and unload the goods once we reached home.

Lagi pun boleh togeder2 lunch kat luar, heheh, this I like (very much).

Normally service bertukar tangan the moment barang2 entered my domain tapi bayangkanlah kalau I pergi sorang2? Penat taw ..

"Buat kerja sikit dah penat ke? Sah you ni spoilt brat"

Siapa yang cakap tu?

(sambil tercari2 suara itu)

AF vs OIAM ...

Wah! David Archuleta is already in Malaysia. I terlisten to his song though I'm not one of his ardent fans (unlike Mas). I have to agree that he looks cute wearing the sponsored Baju Melayu with samping (minus the songkok). Whose idea was it that these gentlemen, MJ, SRK and David be given a suit of Baju Melayu and in fact were 'forced' to wear one?

David was voted 2nd best in last year's American Idol. In less than a year he had become a household name and travel the world. How come our best singers from the reality tv shows never had the chance to make it big or never made an impact outside of the local entertainment scenes? Why, is it because the songs are in Malay? Even then, our songs are having difficulty to penetrate the Indonesian market... and they say music is universal. Really?
Ooops, a bit emo there. .

I watched One in a Million yesterday just the part where Shah Indrawan aka Tomok performed. He sang Sheila's number 'aku cinta padamu'. I couldn't listen to the judges' comments on his singing as someone who was watching the other channel made a subtle remark "dah start.. iklan dah abis". The remote then was passed to him reluctantly.

T and I are in favor of Tomok, Justin Timberlake of Malaysia, hehe.. poyo ke? The present Tomok looks quite different from Tomok then. He looks more fashionable, vibrant and suddenly cuter (despite rambut bertepek ala daging salai). Whatever it takes, we want him to own that 1 million.

Apparently Tomok used to stay with us close to 3 years. Then suddenly he bid goodbye.. sob!

Another reality show ie AF. It's either you like it, hate it or all-time atas pagar. The latter is of course bad for business. Atas pagar people don't normally vote, they just kutuk, cerca and perli semata2. As for me, I'm done with voting. Dah tobat :-)

I follow both AF and OIAM because of Isma and Tomok respectively. Both are siblings. I guess they have good genes .. talented, cantik and ensem.

Digress:
Apparently Tomok used to stay with us close to 3 years. Then suddenly he bid goodbye.. sobsob but heheh, Tomok in this case is of course our beloved cat. Masa kitten, Tomok suka gomol2 T's hair and acting as if dlm rambut tu ada puting to suck. Kesian .. anak yatim..

Tomok has been staying in a cage all along but when I was ready to let him free (to seek life partner), I said this to him " .. jangan pegi jauh2 tau ... petang nanti balik" .. which he did. Tomok was the only cat without a grave at our front lawn as he died elsewhere. The front lawn is full of 'dead cats' with names given by us - Dot, Ren, Mbang, Mau, Mole and countless of others. Those without names ie stray cats, hubby buried just outside our lawn.

Moodless ...

Mood ceria dah disambar helang, maka harus tampal gambar to warm-up (juga sebagai kenangan untuk cucu-cicit). Cam biasa, gambar begitu kelamayar (semoga my cuci paham maksud kelamayar).

Kepingan wantan dihasilkan dalam masa 1/2 jam. Maybe I work better under pressure? (sungguh bangga!).

With the leftover wanton fillings, I made jemput2 (all time fav.) and added cili padi & seaweed. The taste is quite ganjil but all the same still enak, heheh. No pic as I know mesti ada yang dah termuntah2 menatap wajah my jemput2 (tak baik taw).


Speaking of jemput2, I have this to say... If we were to introduce jemput2 to the world, we must maintain its name as is. Maybe just explain a bit (as a matter of fact only) that they are actually fritters (made of banana, prawns or what have you), and make it known that jemput2 and cekodok are of the same kind (in case anybody gets confused). Whatever happens, it's jemput2, ok? Don't let them pinda akta jemput2. Never!
(Truth is I am disappointed knowing that Otak2 has another name to its credit.. OTAH.. can you beat that? Since when it's called Otah? Can we change Pizza to Pizzo according to our whim and fancy?)

Had this Ayam Penyet for dinner. It consists of fried chicken, a piece of fried taufu n tempe, blanched kangkong, raw cabbage, cucumber, a kind of crumbs and of course sambal.. huuahhuuaah.. it was hot.

Felt bangga for I managed to skip having rice. I deserved a pat on a shoulder, syabas! (pat laa .. please).

4 sen only ...

Betul ke harga daging tu 4 sen?

Satu dunia blogger bertanyakan soalan yang sama ke?

maka jawapannya adalah YA ..

Oleh kerana dah terlalu ngantok

Bantal busuk mula menggamit manja

maka I beransur dulu

Insyaallah sambung cerita esok

Personality Quiz

As requested by Shahirah... (siap dgn kaler2 lagi, kasik mata pusing, heheh).

Legend: BLUE=true, RED=very untrue while BLACK=no comment

Your view on yourself: You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of boyfriend you are looking for: You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship: You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship (auww..)

The seriousness of your love: You like to flirt and behave seductively (Statement TERlampau nih..). The opposite sex finds this very attractive, and that's why you'll always have admirers hanging off your arms. But how serious are you about choosing someone to be in a relationship with?

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can (if study hard equals to doing exams, nehi.. tak nak).

The right job for you: You have many goals and want to achieve as much as you can. The jobs you enjoy are those that let you burn off your considerable excess energy.

How do you view success: Success in your career is not the most important thing in life. You are content with what you have and think that being with someone you love is more than spending all of your precious time just working.

What are you most afraid of: You are concerned about your image and the way others see you. This means that you try very hard to be accepted by other people. It's time for you to believe in who you are, not what you wear.

Who is your true self: You are full of energy and confidence. You are unpredictable, with moods changing as quickly as an ocean. You might occasionally be calm and still, but never for long.

To whoever yang berminat, silalah menguizkan diri .. jangan malu dan segan..

Troli berhemah ..

Baru pukul 10 pagi ramai dah berduyun2 dan berbondong2 menuju ke destinasi, banyak troli dah diisi barang, sarat dan muai. Diorang ni beraksi lebih awal dari lalat terbang, ke? Yalah pun, awal bulanlah katakan ...

Dah lama I avoid beli barang2 dapur pada hujung minggu but this time dah terpaksa. I prefer pergi hari Isnin sebab lengang, tenteram dan aman. Keluar ni pun sebab nak beli makanan kucing as 1st priority. Hubby minta tolong "kalau you keluar, tolong belikan makanan kucing", tapi kalau I tak keluar? Hehe, soalan dalam ati aje tu..

Hari ini dalam sejarah! My troli nampak baik dan berhemah aje tak macam minggu2 sebelumnya. Baik dan berhemahlah sangat , heheh .. walhal sebenarnya I cuba beat the long Q at the weighing counter and at the cashier. Benda2 yang I hajatkan takde yang pre-packed maka ia perlu ditimbang dulu. Dalam keadaan sesak cam tu, I bolayan.

Furthermore, I have very limited time to mingle2 in there. Nak balik cepat sebab nak masak. Nak masak cepat sebab hubby nak makan. Hubby nak makan sebab dia nak pergi kerja. Nak pergi kerja sebab? Sebab nak cari duit. Takde duit kalu, dia tak boleh bayar fees internet broadband. Kalau internet mati, satu kelorga akan berkabong! Tapiii .. "Umi bitaulah abah.. pujuklah dia .. CELCOM broadband lembablah.. nak tengok YouTube pun tak boleh, nak download pun lembab sangat2". And so I quipped penuh hemah "Abah kata syukurlah .. dari takde.. kan?" (In this case I mesti sapot hubby's decision though I agree that Celcom service memang quite MOIST!).

Hari ni I masak mende dalam tin aje - rebung muda dan sotong kicap (lauk nostalgia nih), goreng ayam dan goreng secebis 'ewak gereh' untuk hubby ('secebis' bunyinya cam lokek aje tapi memang pun lokek .. to discourage him (and me) from eating 'mende masin' too much. In actual fact, I try to hinder the whole house from bau2an yang oooh, so wicked a smell (the minute I start to fry it), and yet as wicked as it is, it tantalises our nafsu (nafsu makan, ok?).

Winter bamboo shoot. Agaknya ni makanan kegemaran Panda bear. Cantik rupanya, kan?
Kononnya masak lemak cili api, haha. HP jahat tak memainkan peranan. Warna kuning tak jadi kuning. Kononnya masak lemak cili api tapi campak DUA biji aje sebab ada orang takleh tahan pedas. Bila I serve ke meja, I tinggalkan cili padi dalam pot sambil berpesan "dok dendiam tau"..

Gatal vs tua?

Gambar takde kena mengena dgn tajuk. Saja nak tumpahkan keterujaan, at last dapat juga bertemu dengan Asparagus yang montok. Pose istimewa dari Asparagusku khas untuk CikLina (jangan tak tau, kita baru petik dari kebun.. hehe)

You terasa gatal kat satu bahagian badan tapi tempat yang kena garu tu bukan spot yang tepat. Garu dihidung tapi gatalnya dileher , garu dileher tapi gatalnya dilengan.

Masalah kan? :-)

Mungkin tu penyakit 'orang tua' yang dah kekurangan hormon2 penting, haha.. tapi insyaallah tidak sebab masa I masih sweet-young-thing ketika progesterone dan estrogen melambak2 dalam badan, I dah pun terkena sindrom nih. Aishah my officemate aka jiran sebelah meja kata "Som, you ni kelakarlaah".. sambil gelak cam apa ntah bila I share my 'masalah'. Late last year, Aishah yang duduk di Penang singgah kerumah selepas bertahun2 tak jumpa. I pun reminiscinglah "Shah.. you ingat tak .........". "Kih3 kah3, ingaaat.. mau tak ingat? ". I conclude .. 'funny bone' Aishah memang sah terlebih.

Sebelah laptop I ni .. (nampak tak?) ada satu garpu, a fork in Englishlah you, heheh. You tanya untuk apa eh? Shhh.... untuk menggaru laa sebab penggaru plastik yang I beli dari Jaiyen dah hilang ntah kemana. Satu tindakan yang proaktif dan dianggap tersangat geliga :-) ketika itu.

Semakin seseorang tu berumur, pergerakan jari jemari, tangan, kaki atau lutut tersangatlah terhad. Kejap dapat cold shoulderlah, kejap kejang sana, kejang sini (tu sebab I asyik menaip jer, good exercise for the fingers).

Akan datang masanya bila you tetiba terheran ... (like what's wrong?) :-

1. Susahnya nak ketip kuku kaki. Mungkin ketip kuku dah tumpul, badan terlebih lemak, kuku kaki dah menebal atau kena tukar spek baru? Haha, some mind boggling questions there but worry no more, it's time to pamper yourself (or is it myself?) - pergi aje buat manicure & pedicure.

2. Naik turun tangga, kadang2 steady dan eksyen aje boleh guna dua2 kaki berlenggang. Bila masa turun tangga esp waktu pagi, apsal sebelah kaki aje digunakan? Sebelah kaki yang sama untuk setiap tapak dan sebelah lagi macam kena drag aje. Aha! mungkin kesilapan teknik semasa kontraktor buat tangga tu?

3. Terasa mengah bila bercangkung basuh bilik air (w'pun tak lama) walhal dulu kala no problemo squatting lama2 penuh seksa (w'pun seksi) masa basuh kasut sekolah dan MENYENTAL stokin legam anak jantan.. (kes gerram terus sebut 'jantan').

4. Menjadi 'igauan' (saja nak kasi umphh) bila pergi ke majlis yang perlu duduk bertimpuh anggun (harus ada word tu). You can easily tell those who have knee problems, heheh. Bagus juga masjid/surau dah sediakan kerusi-cantum-meja untuk keselesaan kaum Hawa bila hadiri majlis ilmu (aaarghhh.. wa tersangat delinquent hal ini..).

Back to cerita gatal tadi tu, paling tak suka bila terasa gatal semasa tengah solat. Kita dibenarkan 'bergerak' 3 kali aje, tu pun bukan pergerakan yang robust. Kalau tiap kali rasa gatal dan digaru tersilap spot, camana tu? Salah gerak dan terlebih gerak boleh mencacatkan solat (psst, ustazah kasi ceramah nih). Habis camana cara garu yang dibenarkan? Hmm... I pasti ramai dah tau caranya, kan?

Satu lagi bila tengah siang ikan atau udang. Time tangan kita kotor, time tulah terasa gatal; kat mukalah, kat leherlah; maka ketika nilah tercetusnya idea geliga tu, gunalah garpu untuk menggaru. Nak guna pisau boleh juga, but make sure jangan ada orang kat belakang you tu. Mana tau tetiba cik abe datang tip-toed dari belakang, nak... nak tolong siang ikan ke, siang udang ke, tetiba dia pulak terchederer. Kesian dia..

Tribute to Didik ...

............. with love!

Possible tak lukisan ni bakal menghiasi stem 50 sen Malaysia? Heheh..

Yang ni? Maybe untuk stem 30 sen sebab rupanya yang somewhat kureng ..

Dan yang ni? Maybe sesuai untuk stem 1.00. Why not ?

Senang cerita, semua tu dijadikan 1st Day Cover .. special & limited edition.

Wah! Beli jangan tak beli...
