food for thought

today is the last working friday in the month of ramadhan, and i'm sure that every1 is at kampung already! dude..bestnye, we're still 'trapped 'in sgmt! can u imagine that! not that we x want to be back, but the classes r still on as usual! walid's PLK class has to sit for the arabic mid term exam, while my teslians have a presentation on moll flanders & a virgina woolf's movie but we've promised mak to be back to jb (this yr's jb turn! :)) toink!toink!) by sunday evening so that we have xtra time for her, actually ikut plan asal nak balik on monday aftnoon sbb nak key in students' marks 1st (balik on the 6th oct tu xle kalut sgt!) but when the announcement for syawal will be made on the 29 sept, pas sunday class tu cabutle (if got people cry in the car,how? :(( ) nanny jah & tok daud r proud grandparents tis yr, sbb lil' guy now can walk & run i bet that they would luv to the idea of bringin him along to visit atoks' friends (so that walid & mommy could scout for a new pair of sandle bag for his newly bought virago!) i lov today sbb lesser cars around the campus, which has led to the fact that more parking spaces! but, i'll be crazy if i'm seen around the campus these few days like just nw, when i went to see en roslan from ilqam to get the keys for the dvd, he gave me that kind of look and i answered him back that "ni tanggungjwb pensyarah utk attend class, xleh simply cancel class!" and those actually came from me..!must be bcz of this ramadhan kot ! huahuahua

nway, enjoy this pic which happens to be one of his fav signages kat sgmt town(p/s: no human nor animal was harmed during the photoshooting!)

what does it mean by "lemang & rendang 100 mtr"? walid said that it is actually lemang tht is 100 meter long, and this would be the longest lemang in m'sia! this is ambiguous sentence, since it brings two meanings (trying to polish decay memories of what i have learnt in ukm!) for any1 who is so concern abt language & semantic, u would be questioning its authenticity in meaning..well, we don't! instead, we njoy it everytime we see this. actually, this white signage can b found by the roadside at petronas gemereh @ sgmt this signage is very popular, esp during eid fitri we even have to place an order to buy them! walid managed to order 3 pcs of this famous lemang which could cost him rm 8-9 per pcs! xpelah..ry punye psal! so..any1 dare to try this "lemang 100 meter"?

my morning sunshine

presenting..my morning sunshines..!

ini budak kecik...sy punye..nwadys, he prefers to have fresh milk (pluz..x the freshly squeezed..!) otherwise, he'll scream on top of his lung ( it wz me who taught him how to scream..alamak!)

this is the princess of the house @ alice this is 1 of her fav lepakking spot lately, she seems x get enuf of playing wt lil' monster they even chasing each other nowadays she's also a good guardian angel; she will keep an eye on lil' monster whenever i let the 2 of them play outside..how i luv u..alice! muah muah

lil' monster + alice = total chaos! alice ni cool..even when umar grabs & squeeze her, she'll do nothin, except giving "that" look which i guess "it's-ok-since-u-r-my-bro" thingy kot...

and finally..

hehe ini kes "bukan nama sebenar"! this is the man of the house...

Cheese Cake

all i could say is..mission accomplished! hehe..finally, the thing that i dreaded has finally gone from my life @ baking mission! it wz last satuday when i finally decided that i shld be baking cake today, since i x be having any tesl class the next day. it wz fun actually, since the lil' guy wz lingering around & poking his nose & tryin' to figure out what the heck is goin' on the table! walid took part in this mission, i think he wz showin' his moral support (thanx..babe!) by crushin the digestive & cornflakes for the base...i think he wz havin' gud time wt it next wz the task of mixin the cream cheese wt egg ( i actually used the ltk omega egg..at least x that fattenin'!)





these r the ingredients 4 the base

base dlm loose bottom ( i must admit that i have tzero knwledge in baking cakes, thus i went to the bakery parlour & asked the ladu wz the heck is loose bottom! hehe! it paid off, very well..hehe!)

today marks the 16th day of ramadhan..i am still ok..in fact, i can wake up exactly at 4.30 am, turn on the stove and ..what else..cooking! funny..during my singlehood days, it was like trying to wake a female dragon with curly eye lashes (that wz THE reason that I could give myself for being a lazybum to take the sahur!) and her mammoth feet (it wz not that big lah..just that whenever I am out on a mission of finding new shoes,it'll be like the end of the world..!) not 4getting her frezzy ball hair (funny, i have long, straight hair..!) up...phew...what a gurl i am..!



but..x anymore..in fact i do enjoy cooking at that odd hours..free from the lil' monster with his newly-acquired kitchen skills @ all the pots, pans to be brought rite in front of tv, pretending to cook like chef michael smith from 703..haha..that's what i get for being a lazybum to cook..


hehe

the above pix is just an example of walid's fav sambal belacan..yum..yum..the white stove wt 3 burners tu..he bought just b4 ramadhan, rasa2nye sbb dia nak his dearly wife ni cook more often kot..hahastove ni comes wt an oven..thats the best part..since he has asked me to bake cakes for this eid fitri..i am indeed a dead meat..!

sedap wei..

till then..wish me luck for my baking mission..

World Teddy Bear Day

this is soooo funny..yesterday ( as in 9 sept 2008) has been declared as the world teddy bear day..hahah i got to knw abt this dlm keter gen2 purple (yg telah berjaya menggodaku 3 thn yg lalu!) wt lil' guy sitting on his so-called car seat, admiring mommy's shades i burst into one of my evil & monstrous laugh.sorry umar..mommy xleh thn..!hehehe

the funniest part wz when the dj announced that she used (think so!) to have a teddy bear (which i am x sure how big, how tall) withthe name of michael nathan ..! which reminds me mr nath*# in our campus..imagine..having mr nath*# as ur teddy bear, i'm pretty sure u would enjoy ur life to the fullest..hehe

it's actually not the funny that tickles me up till nw ( the comp clock shows it is already 1.22 am, yup..i am a pathetic lady who updates her blog at this hour..!) it is her sister's effort in giving such a beautiful name to their teddy bear..she must have burned the midnite oil just to make sure that the teddy bear will get the best..

movie day

yesterday, i wz clouded wt total boredom ( gt back from my 4-white-walls very early..around 12..) nothin much to do at home..3 dvds were lyin' sexily on the lil' guy's white tv, and i wz thinkin of givin myself a treat..hehe friday? watch movie? sooo not good..bad gurl! nyway, the happening from shyamalan seems like a gud choice..

i wz expectin sumthin unthinkable-yet-acceptable kinda things..ok..lemme be frank..it wz a waste of my time! man..nyesal weh..tgk ini movie..

it is nuthin compared to the village, or even to the lady in the water..

4 once, i think i wz thrilled to see mark wallberg ( i used to have a crush on since the big bro is wz the nkotb *)

to be be precised..his 6 pack ab..hehe oh my..emmm...

the only thing that confuses me (sampai skrng ni!) is "DA wind" stands 4 wat? and being an animal lover, i vote this movie since no animal was harmed in any scene.hehe

i lke alma's big, round eyes..tetibe je kuar her eyes while she wz concentrating on the news,plus the mood ring on elliot's finger.

i remember alma said sumthin abt the ring turned purple, as the color indicates being horny..hehe alamak pas ni kena tukar fav color..plus he got to drive diff car (his "gawky" is purple!)

above all, x bestle citer ni..

orait peple..any comments ?
