CCM 3 - LOL vs LOL ...

• Last update on Monday, Tuesday-Wednesday MIA n now Thursday baru muncul. Penat sangat walk2 eat air macam round d'world in 80 days kekdahnya, siap jet lag lagi (kah3) tapi biasalah for SAHM @ LOL ie lady of leisure yang takde pembantu rumah, mana boleh berihat lama2, kan?




• The moment we step foot in the house, the usual chores resume soon after. LOL vs LOL .. Lady of leisure dah jadi Leisure Olok2Lah ... lol ..




• Akak tanya 2 soalan so nilah jawapannya - Kami berlapan kesana .. T n me, Ndja n son, SIL n daughter, Ngah n Teh. The so-called CCM dah dirancang seawal 1stQ tahun lepas. Bila tarikh luput almost over barulah mood menginja datang mendadak, haha. My sisters n SIL dah biasa kesana cuma I aje yang blur ala MrB almaklum dah lama benar terperuk bawah ketiak TB tempurung batu, heheh.




• Tambang taxi airport-hotel @RM25/taxi. Untuk jenjalan dari 9am ke 5pm kita sewa 2 taxi @ RM180/taxi. Kita sangat berpuas hati dengan servis yang diberi dan diharap mereka berdua lebih2 lagi gumbira dengan kita sebagai pelanggan berhemah, ehem.




• Cam biasa sebagai pelancung @ tua-rist.. kita dihantar ketempat2 'tersohor' disana. Salah satu tempat harus dilawat ialah ....

Jangan takde kenangan menyedut udara KTganu, adalaa satu dua benda yang dibeli sebagai kenangan. As for the rest of them, diorang komain bersemangat lagi ...

As in previous entry I tampal gambar2 replika masjid tapi sebelum tiba kawasan tu, terpandang plak kat si Mewi Go Waun, hehe.. teringat kat Sonia, anak Rima yang sangat suka kat MGR (vukan aktor Tamil itew, vukan 3x).

Aida (PatinPasta) tanya apa I syoping kat sana. Well Aida, here are some of the hasil tangkapan yang dikirim dan dibeli as fruit hand specially for The Boss TB as his after meal desserts.

Dodol dalam daun-apa-ntah n dodol yang dah vogel, ahaks. Yang leper tu biskut sago dan gula tarik (tapi tak leh celen gula tarik zaman dara sunti yang boleh ditarik 1-2 jengkal ketika digigit, beshhh). Apa lagi I beli? Hmm.. I beli kuih denderam, roti keramat dan tentunya keropok. Thanks so much to CikWanZ sebab bitau d'best kedai untuk beli d'best keropok in town w'pun dia duduk d'Kelantan.

Thanks so much to Sizuka/Shidah for your suggestions on what to eat n what to buy/go sebab kitorang memborong roti keramat macam tak hingat donia! Sama gak masa beli keropok, haishh..

... and thanks so much to Fa for suggesting to buy the 'branded' roti canai. Tak susah nak cari as the taxi men yang berdua tu tersangat arif with d'whereabout of all tua-rists attraction.

Last but not least, thanks a million to my 3 sisters. May Allah bless them n their family; and may Allah bless us all (this includes whoever is reading this at the moment).

Nota syahdu: in awe!

CCM 1 ...

Alhamdulillah at last I have conquered my own phobia of flying, errrk... Flying tentunya bukan jadi pilot, jadi passenger jer pun dah terasa nak tulis wasiat, heheh.

The last time I terbang jauh diawan biru was about 15 years ago to the land of Will & Kate. Diorang berdua nih nak kawin sikit pun tak jemput kita. Kot laa extend their wedding invitation to me,boleh gak pakai evening dress yang I pakai masa mak Will kawin dulu, ngeh3 ... verangans u'olls..

Anyway, I feel rejuvenated, yes I am! Should have walk-walk eat air more often after this. Banyak nikmat n hikmahnya. Tu pun belum lagi jejak kaki kat rumah, Ndja dah buat plan baru samada nak ke Langkawi, Kelantan or Penang this coming April. Naik plane lagi? Huwaaa... am not interested even though I've somewhat conquered my phobia ...

What else but fridge magnet :-)

Love it! 3-in-1 Laut, ombak & pokok kelapa

What else but my favourite sira pisang, yum!

Ikan laga menghiasi meja makan, boleh?

. Special note to Ja.. If only I knew Ikan dah meninggalkan alam fana' nih, I rela kidnap salah sekor or both of them untuk jadi peneman windu si Ikang..

Nota fenting: CCM=cuti2Msia, hehe..

Pulut Kuning ...

TNB hantar memo dan masukkan dalam our letter box memberitahu penduduk setempat bahawasanya hari nih dari 9 pagi hingga 2 ptg takde bekalan letrik atau karen (vukan karen carpenters taw).

Yo!! DPB, can I have my 'e' with tanda back, please? Susah taw orang nak bezakan 'karen' nama orang atau 'karen' = electricity. 'e' tanda & e teleng takde beza pada rupa tapi sebutannya sangat berbeza *sigh*. Kita2 yang dah reti nih, takde masalah nak menyebutnya tapi bila tulis "rasa nak sepak aje dia" ... terpaksalah tulis dalam bracket (sepak kat muka) atau (sepak kat montot). Pembaziran perkataan tak bertempat namanya tu, hmpph! <- ketahuilah saya sedang berleter!

Anyway karen berjalan seperti biasa dan dengan baik hatinya I gosokkan baju kerja TB pagi tadi (well .. since kawin memang dia menjawat jawatan menggosok baju sendiri). Since dia kerja petang, tentunya pukul 9 pagi dia masih zzzzz berlayar kat Lautan Andaman. Dia terlupalah tu nak gosok baju sebelum tidur semalam. Baju tu I gosok to spare him from gelabah bila bangun tidur nanti. Am I not thoughtful? haha... yes I am (tho sometimes,hehe).

Pagi tadi bila tengok black velvet cake kat my previous entry, I teringat plak kat RVC. Dah teringat kat dua kek velvet, tetiba teringat kat National Velvet (pls google kalau curious). Bila teringat National Velvet, tentunya terbayang wajah manis ElizabethTaylor. Pastu bila I surf d'internet, terferanjat jugaklah sebab baru jer terkenang kat dia, rupa2nya dia dah passed on. Kebetulan ke?

Hari nih tajuk entry Shidah ialah pulut kuning. Ehhh.. terperanjat kali kedua nih. Macam pakat2 pulak sebab I pun nak buat tajuk entry yang sama. Shidah dah lama buat pulut tu tapi baru tampal gambar sekarang. I pulak buat pulut kuning (PK) masa weekend baru nih dan Lili d'emily nak buat PK esok atau lusa. Nampaknya gelombang aura PK memang pawerr!

15/3 SMS dari T "alhamdulillah, T dah khatam. Nanti weekend Umi tolong masak rendang transparent eh Mi? Hehe..". Rendang daging transparent (RDT) berasal dari daging yang ada urat, bukan daging pukal. Komain dak tu ek?

Takkan nak makan rendang aje? Tak nak pulut kuning ke? Khatam Quran sinonim dengan PK, kan? T kata RDT wajib tapi PK optional. Maka gigihlah I masak RDT n PK malam Sabtu lepas.

Presentation wise, memanglah tak ikut cara Mak buat. Takde telur dadar, takde timun dan takde 'lauk' dibuat dari keledek (salah satu side dish wajib tapi tak ingat plak dulu Mak pernah masak ke tak, hehe).

Ahad: T hampa tak dapat naik hot air balloon kat PutJaya, dia luahkan kehampaan indulging in PK & RDT. Berselera betul dia, alhamdulillah ..

.

Pancake tu lempeng ...

Semalam I tersangat rajin buat breakfast, pukul 8 dah siap ever ready to ngap! Masa makan tu pulak takde nak toleh belakang, tak pandang kiri tak pandang kanan cuma pandang depan dan bawah aje. Pandang bawah tengok makanan, pandang depan tengok tibi, hehe.. tapi pagi nih I buat secawan teh bujang aje ...

Hari Senin lepas sebelum hantar T balik ke SA, terpikir juga nak buatkan dia b'fast tapi dengan T tu, kalau dia tak mintak janganlah pandai2 nak buat. Bukan dia tak suka dengan masakan I yang ever so lazzzat tu *pun intended* tapi mood dia yang selalu berombak2 tu, susahlah I nak mengagak "dia nak makan ke tak?".

Selalunya dia buat atau cari sendiri apa2 yang dia nak makan tapi pagi tu niat dihati nak buatkan dia pancake atau lempeng dalam bahasa omputihnya, hic! Bila pasang niat murni dan pada waktu yang sama Uminya tengah berkarya, maka niat murni tu would take a back seat ajelah. Lagi pun dia tak tau apa2 so I tak rasa guilty sangat kalau tak buatkan pun *tak bagus kalau ada Umi kat dunia cam nih kan? haha.. no, memang tak bagus, no good*.

10 minit sebelum bertolak ke SA, T bersuara "Miiii ... kalau buat pancake cara Umi tu, senang tak?". Dush!!! semacam satu tamparan puting beliung hinggap kemukaku u'olls. Now, I dapat baca gelombang minda dia atau dia yang dapat baca gelombang minda I? Very the twilight zone, kankankan??

*dengan rasa bersalah tapi tak tunjuk* "kenapa? T nak makan dengan syrup tu ke?". Jawapannya positip! Terus jer I bingkas berdiri w'pun masa tu I tengah perah otak cari idea for my next entry. Hmm.. gitulah pengorbanan seorang emak (@seloroh donia) terhadap anaknya; adakah anak akan buat pengorbanan yang sama untuk emaknya nanti?? Insyaallah ..

8 pieces of plain pancake ready in a jiffy! Bermain2 api masa menggoreng, kejap pelan kejap kuat maka tercoklatlah rupa pancake tu. 4 keping dimakan bersama maple syrup/butter, 4 keping lagi dijadikan bekal. Puas hati bila tengok dia makan, if not I'd feel guilty for the rest of the week.

Sebelum bid good bye with hugs n kisses, I keluarkan cerita "masa T sebut pasal pancake tadi, Umi dah tau dapat agak T nak makan pancake dengan syrup yang abah beli tu, kan?". Dia angguk pastu boleh ek dia keluarkan stetmen lawan tokay "tulah, T dapat baca fikiran Umi, hehe ". Ya-yaa.. (kot betul? wallahualam).

I think dalam satu famili, kita selalu aje dapat baca atau rasa hal2 'anih' cam tu, tul tak? Between TB n me, kita selalu juga terfikir hal yang sama dan salah sorang akan 'luahkan' blablabla. Dengan anak2, adik beradik dan dengan kawan2 rapat, hal 'anih' ni berlaku juga.

My 'attachment' dengan D lebih kuat dari dengan T. Bila D keluar rumah macam tak ingat nak balik, terdetik dalam hati "manalah budak nih tak .......", tetiba dengar krek2 bunyi pintu dibukak. Bila dia bertapa dalam bilik.. "budak nih tak ...." tup2 bunyi tangga macam dilanggar geruda (bukan tau slow motion bila turun tangga), muncullah dia "hi Mi". Kadang2 stetmen tak habis diungkap lagi. Strange but true ...

Breakfast semalam I makan pancake secara pukal. Terliur gak masa tengok T makan hari tu ...

Versi anggun, auwww ...

T's ...versi terlebih main api

Minggu nih haruslah jadi isteWi mithali .. masuk dapur awal, masak sedap2 dan harus siap segala ready for lunch by 1pm.

Bukan mudah tapi tak juga susah jadi ala2 mithali, kaanz??

Why me, why??

Jus berkarya macam dah kering aje, why? Why me? Why??? <- berdrama plak dia.. heh!

Alhamdulillah selera makan masih lum kering kekal menakjubkan, walla... maka mende yang dah 2 hari tersimpan dalam esbok masih boleh dibawak berbincang!

Kerana 'terlampau rajin' memasak, I dah terjumpa 3-4 kedai makan yang boleh dibuat kawan in time of need, haha. I tak cerewet bab makan dan tempat makan (as long as tempat tu sejuk dingin) tapi TB ada sket pengecualian sebab selera kami berbeza, ehem. Penemuan tempat makan terbaru dijangka akan memudahkan kehidupan si LOL itew, pheewit!

Tengok pada gambar, agaknya berselera tak nak makan sup kat bawah nih?? Yang kuning2 tu was leftover omelette from yesterday's dinner - a combination so very yummy!!

Siapa kata tak selera, I nak cakap sket aje "percuma hidup mu". Actually those were my brother's so-called words of wisdom to motivate us the picky eaters (zaman dara sunti) to eat whateva was served by Mak.

But now dia pun dah lupa nak utter those words memandangkan keadaan kami yang ever so 'delicious' to look at, errrk!!! *wailing*


Saturday 5pm had lunch at BG <- tempat dirahsiakan, hehe. The top most soup = the soup on the left (full of bits n pieces of seafood + mushroom); while the right one is mee-tanpa-perasaan but all the same, it was lazatlicious, yum!

Since TB also ordered mee-hitam-ntah-apa-namanya maka both the above food had to be tapaued home. Apsal ek? Adakah perut kita dah mengecut makan sikit dah kenyang? atau selama nih kita terlupa baca Bismillah kah? Haippp... mana ada? Kita siap baca doa cam budak2 tadika tu lagi, heheh.

W'pun I tak kuat makan pedas, kehadiran cili jeruk n cili padi amatlah dialu2kan. Bukan apa, I was just obliging pada pelawaan siwaitress yang sangat baik hati tu (lagi pun sambal merah tu kureng menaikkan napsu).

Haa nih apa plak? Dessertnya kah? Taaklah. I was visiting BBCGoodFood blog, terjumpa black velvet baby cake (saingan RVC kekdahnya) ... firasat hari Senin meramalkan kek nih akan jadi buruan chef tersohor satu hari nanti (ke I yang dah ketinggalan zaman? hehehe whateva).

............................... Black Velvet Baby Cake sourced from BBCGoodFood

Hari nih TB cuti so biar dia aje yang hantar T balik ke SA (I duduk sebelah jadi mem). Pastu we can spend the whole day berdua2an jenjalan cuci mata kat SACC Mall ke, Masalam ke, Empire ke, SubPred ke ...

... tapi sebelum jenjalan nih, apa kerja sunat patut I buat wahai kawan2?? Say whaaaat??? Maaan.............diiiiiiiiiiii? Apa tu?

"A deer enters a village ..."

Just to share my experience going to this marvellous restaurant with a 'supermarket' concept. Last week Ndja n T went there to have breakfast n lunch on the same day. Yup! having meals on the same day at the same restaurant for they were too terkesima with what was being offered there and for some other factors quite unknown to mankind, har3.

So on one fine Wednesday, the 3 LOLs berangkat ke restoran yang hangat diperkatakan. At the entrance outside the restaurant is placed a podium. There stands one or two waiters holding some order forms to pass them on to each customer before entering the restaurant (Teh n I like pandang2 pegang2 jeling2, al-rusa masuk kampong, kiah3). Duh! somehow it got to us that it was a self-service concept kind of restaurant.

We were quite taken aback akin blur2 gitu upon entering the restaurant. Eishh... is this an eating place or a supermarket?? At this juncture, please imagine the kind of supermarket those junior masterchef terkedek2 went to to get their supplies of perishables.

Sangat cool that kind of supermarket, kan? The same goes with this eating place. I love its ambience esp the 'yellow' lighting as I feel at ease. There are a number of stalls catering to our greedy whims n fancies (which I shall not reveal here, ekekekke *gelak dengki sambil membongkok2*) ... again, I shall leave it to your wild colorful imagination, okey??

Teh n I maintained our composure almaklum LOL needs to look cool, calm n collected, ngeheheh. Ndja acted as wakil restoran, ajak kita pusing2 just to look around first and explaining to us how n what to order. After 2 rounds of pusing2 and some Q&A with those chefs responsible at the respective 'food stall', we finally placed our orders, yehaaa.. at last!

We hand in the order form to the chef in charge as and when we make an order, henceforth he/she will rubber stamp it with god-knows-what-code on the form, kah3. Same procedure applies during payment of bills, we just show the same order form to the cashier on our way out for good (the entrance and exit are at 2 different locations).

Fresh fettuccini - mine (!)

Ndja's Roasted chicken, mixed vege n mushroom soup

Teh's Savoury Crepe (mushrooom n chic filling)

Scone & s'berry pie shared among the 3 LOLs, heheh..

Additional desserts: bread pud n strawberry panna cotta

Kita menikmati makanan macam takde hari esok jer. Bukan apa, dah tempat tu jauh maka takdelah nak kesana kerap sangat but I can never be sure esp after Ndja has moved in for good to be my next door neighbour.

Lupa plak, hehe. While indulging on those fresh pasta tetiba pewut menggelodak buat hal. Oh man! Nasib baik just adjacent to where I was sitting there was the washroom. Sepantas jaguh marathon dunia (takde aksi lompat kijang, malu aah) I berdezuuuuup to the WC, and the rest is history!

Alhamdulillah for everything and special thanks to my partner in crime who gave Teh n I a wonderful treat, heee.. Nanti I dapat duit EPF I belanja you berdua ehh??

.

Tira oh Tira ...

Segerombolan of my family which includes Ngah n Teh went to perform the umrah recently and they safely arrived home last Friday maka tugas menziarah starts soon after. Wanted to visit both of them on Monday but masa mencemburuiku :-)

Since on Tuesday mood kurang menyerlah, I see no point visiting anybody. Memerap kat rumah lagi pekdah. Ndja promised to come here from Sban on Tuesday night so that we both could visit Teh on Wednesday.

On Tuesday night dengan gigihnya I made 2 tiramisu adunan (credit to D sebab tolong nyibuk), one using whipping cream n cream cheese while the other as per D's request, I used only whipping cream. It wasn't so much for Teh but really I made it for my niece, Tira ... nama sama, ketentuan atau kebetulan?

We managed to visit Teh on Wednesday with my ehem ehem in tow :-)

................. Bigger container for Teh while the small one for T's consumption

The white container is D's but the one in cup is all mine!

Alhamdulillah quite a handful of my loved ones managed to indulge in that 'derhaka tiramisu'. They, esp my niece enjoyed it very much. A simple recipe made simpler by me ... ya ampun to the owner.

When Ndja is around it means time to jenjalan beyond my usual territory. As planned, the 3 of us heading to d'Curve for lunch. Ndja has brought T to Marche last week so this time around she wanted Teh n I to experience something out of the norm, cewah kononnya ..

Maybe ramai dah tak heran with that eating place but since that was our 1st experience there, we, Teh and I tetiba jadi rusa (masuk kampung), hehe.. and for the record, I shall ramble about my eating experience there a bit later. Mana boleh tak ramble, kan?

.

Learn thru mistake/s ...

Nak catit hal semalam semalam semalam 3 hari lepas tak tercatit2 pun. Alaaa.. catitan syok sendiri afdal dibaca kendian hari ketika mendodoikan cucu, hic! Kalau ada PA, mintak dia aje catitkan diary of events tapi macamlah life I nih happening sesangat? haha... *gelak 1 harkat*

Monday
Balik dari hantar T ke SA, mood 'malas balik rumah' menyerlah so I headed to the land of Giant (LOG). Lately doing grocery shopping there is a breeze esp on Monday morning as literally no human being was in sight (exaggerate sket), no dinosaur long queue like before and surely there's no collision between trolleys, heheh.

I amat terer manouvering the trolley at nook n corners even when LOG was full of people and trolleys. I managed pwetty well not to hit anything in sight, let alone hitting other trolleys.

Since I could pandu the trolley so handal maka my level of confidence (LOC) suddenly shot up and I said it out loud to TB that if I could manouver a trolley, I could also drive a car "you think I can drive as well or not?". His answer made my LOC meletop2 kalah bunyi mercun sambut tahun baru Lebit (kata2 semangat from T n jiran senasib did play a big role too. Well, this needs another entry kekdahnya).

Of course everyone (hic) knew that I had my driving license at an age almost reaching my twilight years. When I sat for the tests, be it on the road or in class, majority of the attendees could very well be my children, hehehaha no joke, I'm serious. Apa taknya, I sat for the test about the same time as D where majority of the attendees were SPM school leavers. I told D he ought to pass as he is young "Umi takpe sebab Umi dah tu....err" <- lame alasan kah?

I nih digress memanjang. Ada aje stale story to tell. OK back to the initial story then ...

14 years ago this LOG komain gah lagi but now dah lemau n lesu maybe for the fact Mydyn is just next door n also there's another LOG branch nearby (memandai aje I justify for them). Anyway, there are 2 new food stalls selling drinks and light snacks only. All the other tenants have 'migrated' else where except 2-3, one of which is our friend's shop selling IT peripherals - Uncle, Auntie n son (yang sangat double F .. friendly @ feramah).

Hari tu terjawab soklan yang sekian lama bermain teng2 diminda. Kalau betullah apa yang didengar (I happened to eavesdrop ...), LOG will soon be closing down for business soon due to 'supermarket make over'. No wonder they have started selling at reasonable price some of the household items such as rice cookers, air purifier, microwaves, small ovens and the lots. Did I buy any? Nope but I rasa bangga giler boleh menepis godaan shython, yeayy!!

Dah penat berjalan mana ada tenaga nak masak bagai, kan? Neverrr mind if I have bought all the perishable goods as I could easily chuck them in the fridge so tapau food for lunch was a brilliant idea, hehe. Done that, I headed straight home. Dah tiba depan rumah tapi tak nak keluar dari keta lagi sebab nak baca sms dalam keta yang masih dingin (nak tinjau Alkisah sebenarnya, kih3).

Belum sempat baca apa2 I felt the car jerked once. Heyy.. watsrong? I quickly kept the hp in my h'bag and abruptly potel the car key but the key remain 'locked'. Aduh, duhx5 but alhamdulillah as I was right in front of my house! Taklah takot sangat (cuma takot if TB upset aje, huwaaaa).

What actually happened? What did I do wrong and what did I do to solve the mystery? (I was already into my element being that woman in Murder She Wrote with my assisstant Inspector D). The mystery was resolved in no time at all by who else but no thanks to me n my assistant though tried as we might, we didn't see the ray of light coming from the gear box, huwaaa... hampeh!

The AAM guy did come within 45 mts as promised but when he arrived, TB told him "dah ok dah, timakasih". Sori AAM guy, jangan serik eh? datang lagi bebila dapat my s.o.s. ok?

Have I learned something out of the hullaballoo? hiihiihiii ... dush! dush! BTW, sila jamah my tiramisu ala novice (2nd attempt).

SOMbre mood!

SOMbre mood ...!

... but SOM needs to eat, walla!

.

Lazatnya ... You dah breakfast??

Kejap dah hari Senin. Bila hari Jumaat, I akan cakap benda yang sama "kejap dah Jemaat". T selalu gelak bila I sebut 'Senin' which pronounced as 'Senen', hehe. Yalah dia cakap bahasa buku, I cakap bahasa pasar besar JB zaman retro.

Baru jer buatkan TB his b'fast. I ada trick, ehem. On his 1st morning coming home from night shift, I takkan manja2 mintak dia belikan b'fast. I harus jadi LOL yang baik budi pekerti (you can say close to being mithali laaa, haha); so dari mlm tadi dah tau dia nak b'fast kentang goweng (vukan fries ala ferancis).

Tu haa tu, dia tengah indulge in kentang goweng yang tak mungkin mencapai piawaian masterchef, huwaaa .. but do I care? ............. gulp gulp .. of coz I do but looking at TB mengunyah sambil baca sokabar without uttering a word of complaint, OKlah gaknya tu ...

What did I have for b'fast? I had something even more fat'ning, hehe. Wooops! kejap nak digress kejap. TB tengah baca sokabar tetiba dia tanya I "apa makna LOL". Dubdab-dubdab .. (tetiba conscious sendiri.. TB tau ke I tulis LOL kat atas tu?? How can he? kan?), somehow he knows the answer himself, hehe. Pandai ponn laki I ...

Remember that pic?? Huwaat? You tak hingaat? Tak hingat tak per as a picture tells a 1000 words so sit back, layanz..

Dengan itu maka terjawablah teka teki yang mendapat sambutan luar biasa dari rakyat jelata, har3 (tapi kalau nak percaya apa salahnya khaan?).

So I had leftover 'lazat-nya' for b'fast as early as 6.30am .. mengalahkan burung pipit cari cacing so early in the morning, tweet.. tweet .. tweet .. tweet .. tweet (nyanyilaa ikut tune lagu AhmaDaud...).

I'll be happily baking lazatnya twice a year (only) based on T&D's requests (twice, no more no less but it also depends highly on the chef's fluctuating mood).

Nih semalam punya citer for b'fast. Tak sabar nak tunggu lazatnya masak so I boiled pasta sheet sekeping yang dah dipatah2kan pastu campur dengan lebihan sauce. Wella .. eh Walla! Nak mati makan Wella? heheh...

OK then, time to mengorak langkah. Have to get ready with my F1 attire as jap lagi nak hantar Miss T pulang kemarkas. Budak tu memang taw.. Boleh aje dia balik petang semalam tapi nak balik pagi nih jugak. You know why? Sebab nak tengok M*asterChep n Malay drama Trilogi Cinterrr! Is she a spoilt brat or what??

What's cooking? ...

Can you imagine petrol kiosk selling fish n chips (f&c)? It would be impossible then but now? Well .. at Es-so they have now serving western food but T actually was looking for fish n chips. Dia nih pantang kalau kawan2 kata sedap, sure dia mesti cari punya!

So yesterday soon after I picked her, merayulah dia mintak I singgah kat Es-so sec. 7 tu. Ikutkan juga, kesian punya pasal. For sure tak nampak batang hidung f&c pun tapi bila dah terpandang ayam golek ala KeniWojers, takkan I nak lepaskan peluang, tul tak? Dahlah lum breakfast, lagi pun .. psssst .. murah you, hehe.

T masih tak puas hati so kita stop over at another Es-so kiosk just to ensure f&c is available there.. Still no hope. It seems KL branch aje yang serve that f&c but tak ketahui which branch.

Verdict: Terasa apa yang patut dirasa, plain sedaps! KeniWojers himself definitely likes it but for sure he would say "lebih sedap kalau ada sos warna coklat" <-- tetiba kelu lidah dia nak cakap omputih, heheh.

TB n I are supposed to do our grocery shopping today but can't do..lah (have to put 2 dots if not you all ingat I sebut nama 'dolah' plak) as today is Saturday. Diorang tak beri plastik bag and I don't want to bring my own shopping bag. Why?? Come onlah, kita dahlah kayakan diorang, isnt it ok for them to 'give back something to us as a token of appreciation'? <- whateva that means, hehe.

So we cancel grocery shopping but plan to JJCM instead, what else? but before that I have to prepare something first as per T's request. For wanting to save RM27 kekdahnya, maka I rajinkan diri.

So guess what I plan to cook later based on some of the following ingredients ...

OK then, till we meet again, daaaa ....

Harga bawal ...

Sekejap dah hari Jumaat. Rasa macam baru semalam I hantar T balik kesarangnya dan kejap lagi beransurlah I kejajahan Kanda Deris untuk menjemputnya pulang keteratak idaman. Selalu I kata "kejap aje T dah balik rumah ek?" .. "taklah ... rasa lamaaa" sambil asing2kan baju yang perlu direndam dulu atau zuup terus keperut mesin.

Sejak T dah empowered herself membasuh, menyidai n melipat her own baju, I rasa seronok cos there's more time for me to golek2 n goyang2 punggung kaki but since mesin basuh dah buat hal, terpaksalah I tolong henjut2 itu buaian, sigh. Dia sure mengeluh for umpteenth time "Miii ... please Mi, get it repaired Miii.." <- eleh cakap omputih konon. Umi tak paham cakap omputihlah!

Tukar topik kejap. Selalunya bila beli 'perishables', I jarang tengok harga sekilo. Kalau tengok pun, tengok ajelah. Otak tu macam boleh congak2 "mampu or tak mampu", so tu ajelah yang I buat. Baru2 nih I berbelanja kat supermarket kecik dekat rumah .. Beli udang, beli ikan bawal, bla2.

Nak tanya sikit pada kengkawan, diharap boleh tolong beri jawapan bernas, hehe. Berapa ringgit harga ikan bawal tu kalau dibeli ditempat anda?? Beratnya lebih kurang 330gm. Mungkin lain tempat lain harganya (tetiba terpikir kenapa tudung bawal diberi nama begitu, patutlah heheheee...)

Bawal hitam aka black pomfret

Masa mengelap n menyusun segala manikam dalam esbok hari tu, terpandang si yogurt terceruk kebelakang. Habislah.. sure dah expired nih (Ndja yang belikan, dah 2-3 minggu juga). Tertanya2 juga nape T tak habiskan aje tapi bila I bukak penutupnya ................... kahkahkah ...
.
.
.


Pernah tengok yogurt perisa udang kering? ngeheheh. Terlupalah pulak I adalah juga queen recycle (bukan hoarder ehhh? ada bezanya tu, hehe).


T dah sms "Umi otw ke?" ... Ha'ah Umi memang otw <-- 'tipu putih' walhal baru nak carik baju bagai, hehe... Dia mintak dijemput pukul 1130 tapi I sengaja lambat2kan. Bukan I tak amalkan sikap punctual tapi biarlah dia tunggu kejap ... sabar separuh dari iman, kan?


Say what? mandi? Nasi Mandi ke? Aaahh, hari tu baru makan, ingat tak? heheh..

Rezeki Rabu ...

Seminggu dua nih macam takde feel nak basuh baju guna kudrat mesin basuh. Bila I let go of my old fridge (refer entry b4 this ), lebih kurang masa tu jugalah my mesin basuh buat hal berasap bagai. Macam takde masa lain nak break down *sigh*. Dah kena hempap kepala jatuh ditimpa tangga kekdahnya.

Nak tak nak, terpaksa selok handbag hingga kepangkal lengan kot masih ada duit raya budak2 yang belum dibank-in lagi, haha.. (D&T, ketahuilah Umi tersangat amanah menjaga harta anak2, so apa yang dibaca nih memang sebagai penyedap cerita jer ....... errk!).

Muafakat membawa berkat so masing2 dah setuju siapa patut beli apa. Cuba teka I beli apa? Ehh.., baik tok sah teka cos I will deny it till the cows come home. BTW, tengok tak news kat tv semalam? Sekor lembu dah naik minyak, habis dia lompat kijang serbu penonton semua.

Tulah tu, lembu syok2 ragut rumput diajaknya masuk gelanggang pastu dicucuk2 badannya dengan pedang, kan dah?? Kalau I jadi lembu, I pun naik minyak angin cap singa. Dahlah cuaca panas, kena cucuk lagi tapi kalau sediakan refreshments ke, sejuk gak hati lembu tu.

Berbalik bab mesin basuh tadi tu, tak tau nak trouble shoot mana silapnya sebab kadang2 ok, kadang2 tak ok. Bila tekan butang spin, air bertakung patut mengalir dengan sendirinya sebelum proses spin/perah bermula but lately air masih berbaki dalam perut mesin. Since air masih bertakung maka proses spin/perah terhenti. Mesin akan merengek 'pheet' 8 kali, maknanya proses terbantut! Aduuh, gue tension!

So apa I buat? Well.. bayangkan Prof. Som jadi McG kejap. Berbekalkan penyangkut baju, cangkoknya I kait pada hose about 2' dari tubuh mesin basuh (tubuh?) pastu I henjut2 as if henjut telur nak buat baulu atau henjut buaian nak tidurkan baby. Most of the time cara tu menjadi tapi ada kalanya aaaarghhh *tarik rambut*. Bila dah aaarghhh, kenalah tekan butang spin semula dan sambung henjut2 sampai dengar bunyi 'ngeng3' <- petanda fungsi spin berjaya.

Bayangkan juga.. I menghenjut 'buaian' dalam keadaan membongkok 90 darjah, dengan lipatan lelemak and all, tak ke I mengah? Mengah is breathless = penat, so today of all the days, I mogok masuk dapur, nehi JJCM, nehi JJCL, nehi!

Allah dengar rintihan hambaNya ... amin.

Ndja fone dari KL bitau dia dah belikan nasi Mandhi-manda dari restoran Hadramaut <- gitulah bunyinya. Alhamdulillah dapat 2 set nasi .. ayam/kambing + desserts sekali.

Maka tersengih2 I menyambut makanan dari Ndja. Dia tak singgah sebab nak cepat balik Sban. Kat atas tu bread pud dari DeliF (Ndja tu paling terer menyinggah dari satu kedai ke satu kedai). Ada aje yand dibelinya but I'm not complaining, heheh... Oh ya, sungguh teruja dia bila terserempak dengan DSNorhalija. Tak teringat nak ambik gambar tapi sempat salam aje. Ndja kata DSN sangat comel, manis n cantik w'pun guna little mekap.

Yang nih star of the day kekdahnya. Ndja kata ayam untuk I while kambing for TB. Muafakat membawa berkat, kan? So kita harus exchange suka sama suka (but I know TB tak pandang ayam bila dah ada kambing). Kita mampu habiskan 1 set aje so another set jadi rezeki D kot.

Buah Melaka tu sedap sangat .. lembut dan gulanya meleleh kedagu tis tis tis ... Yang hijau/putih tu pun YUM!

Khas untuk AA ... silalah .. jangan malu dan segan, hehehee ..
