Bila Ustazah bertanya

During my last class, Ustazah asked us a question that made me terkelu and tertunduk

"Kalau orang memuji masakan anda sedap, apa balasan anda?"

A. "tengok kaki laaa"
B. "Saya lah yang masak"
C. "Dengan izin Allah, saya dapat memasaknya"

So which one are you?

Tanpa keizinan dari Allah tidak mungkin kita dapat memotong bawang, memegang sudip dan kuali dan akhirnya terhasillah masakan yang enak. Tetapi kita lupa untuk melafazkannya.

"Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal"

Jom Bersukan!

Sabtu lepas, saya dengan bersungguhnya pergi bersukan? Tak percaya? tak payah percaya sebab Muqtasaem yang pergi bersukan :). It was his FIRST sports day.

the kids tent

The event was held at a futsal court. It started at 9am with march pass by the kids. Comel- comel..kiri kiri..kiri kanan kiri.

bangga sungguh yang pegang bendera tu

There are 3 houses - Purple, Green & Yellow. Muqtasaem is in the Purple house. How come masa i belajar dulu takde pun purple house. Yang ada normal color - Merah, Biru, Hijau & Kuning.
After the march pass, there are pom pom dance by the kids. Ini boleh masuk You Think You Can Dance :).

Then the games begin. Muqtasaem participated in 2 games. And his team won both games!! Yippie..menang jugak anak ku despite menangis-menangis tak mau participate..Oh yes, Muqtasaem cried once he saw me during the march pass. Anak bujang ni manja skit. Once he saw me, he refused to join his friends. Puas la i pujuk, last-last i just leave him with his teacher and sembunyi from his sight.

There were also games for the parents and teachers. Sporting parents and teachers ni.

After all the games, the most awaited time - Prize Giving Ceremony!! And Yeay, Purple house is the CHAMPION, second place goes to Yellow and third to Green.

Apa-apa pun, yang penting Muqtaasem is a Champion!

When was the last time you ride on a taxi?

When was the last time you ride on a taxi?
Last week, I was on public transport for a week. I noticed that in (some) taxis, there is a list of rules to be adhered by the taxi drivers.





Some interesting points
1. Driver not to leave driving seat.
-- kalau tengah drive, mmg la cannot leave d seat kan
-- if passengers need help to load luggage, cannot help ka? Hhmmm

2. Shall not carry passenger in excess 5 ppl including driver.
-- huhuhuhu i pernah naik sampai 6 org.. Siap beg pakcik taxi

3. Shall proceed to destination named by hirer by the shortest and most direct route.
-- some taxi drivers will ask, which road to use. My typical answer-- jalan yg tak jam!! Hihihi..kalau ikut jln dekat tapi jam sama je taxi fare ikut jln jauh tp tak jam..betul tak??

4. Touting is prohibited
-- u will always see this happening at klcc. I tell you, taxi drivers at klcc tak pandang langsung locals, tunggu tourist je. Kalau u nak gak naik, they already set d fare upfront. Tak patut betul

So if u happen to meet taxi drivers that do not adhere with these rules, you can lodge complaints.

Tea with the kids

The other weekend, i decided to try making doughnut for my kids. I'm not so good in baking or making cookies or kuih-muih. I'm more into cooking meals - masak lauk-pauk. reason? senang, sekali masak je. If baking cookies, leceh. kena buat satu-satu, bake it..and the repeat the cycle sampai habis dough. Leceh kan? kalau masak lauk-pauk...sekali masak je, dah settle. u know what i mean? whateverlah

I've never make a doughnut before, so i googled for a recipe that make a soft doughnut. The ones that would not keras after dah sejuk..

So here goes the recipe

200g tepung roti - I used BlueKey Flour..couldn't find bread flour. Oh yes, i used the penimbang :)

20g gula 

1/2 sudu kecil garam

1 sudu kecil dry yeast

140ml susu segar - I used full cream, since itu je yang ada dalam fridge :)

20g butter - Ni pun guna buttercup sebab itu je yang ada dalam fridge. Oh sangat malas nak keluar untuk membeli barang, so gunakan je la apa yang ada

minyak masak 

First Step: Mix flour and salt.

Step 2: Make a hole and pour in milk with dry yeast. Mix it.

Step 3: Uli dough sampai tak melekat kat tangan. Oh yaa...part-part menguli pun i tak suka..another reason why i do not bake :)

Before

After

Step 4: Cover the dough with a plastic and wait till the dough naik roughly twice the size. Try testing it by popping your finger in the middle of the dough, and it will leave a hole like this.

Step 5: Make a small round shape and deep fry it. 

Step 6: To make it lil bit interesting, i coat the doughnut with chocolate. 

I thought that the kids would love the chocolate coated doughnut BUT NO!!! they finished off the ones WITHOUT the chocolate in a jiff! The doughnut is soft in the inside and bit crispy on the outside.

I'm hooked!

Bab-bab games, i memang ketinggalan keretapi. i'm not really a game person. Reason?

1. I'm afraid that i wont do anything, but play the games..

2. I tak suka the adrenaline rush bila main game...nak kejar masa la, nak kejar points laa..tak suka.. (tapi main gak)

I guess most of the people out there, have came across Bejeweled. Ada tak? sila jangan angkat tangan. And yes, i just downloaded the game recently and i'm totally hooked!. ni yg malas k. Siap bergaduh ngan anak-anak, nak main game kat iPhone. Sebelum ni i tak heran pun!

*image googled

So whats with this Bejeweled?

Its a game whereby you have to match the jewel according to the color. You have to match 3,4 or 5 jewels in a row. If you get 4 jewels, u build a power gem. This power gem can be used to clear a larger area. Kira dapat pecah kan lagi banyak jewels. The most powerful, if u managed to match 5 jewels in a row, a Hyper Cube will be created. How to use HyperCube? U have to carefully select the most numbered jewel and try to clear those jewel. And the jewels may not be in a row. If you are lucky, u will be clearing a larger space and gain more points.

At first, i thought i may not be addicted. Tapi i salah k! i'm totally hooked. Geram je tengok bila markah tak tinggi-tinggi pun. A colleague of mine even managed to gain 1mill in points!!! mana tak rasa tercabar kan? 

But well, its just a game. Main pun untuk suka-suka. Sambil-sambil tengah tidurkan anak-anak, dapat lah mengisi masa sekejap ngan main Bejeweled.

So what's my current score? 556, 500 je. If only it can be converted to real jewel kan?

Apa itu Earth Day?

Bumi yang tiada rimba
Seumpama hamba
Dia dicemar manusia
Yang jahil ketawa

Bumi yang tiada udara
Bagai tiada nyawa
Pasti hilang suatu hari
Tanpa disedari

Bumi tanpa lautan
Akan kehausan
Pasti lambat laun hilang
Duniaku yang malang

Dewasa ini kita saling merayakan
Kejayaan yang akhirnya membinasakan
Apalah gunanya kematangan fikiran
Bila dijiwa kita masih lagi muda dan mentah
Ku lihat hijau

Bumiku yang kian pudar
Siapa yang melihat
Di kala kita tersedar
Mungkinkah terlewat

Mata Sepet Ku

Last weekend Nadhirah woke up with 1 sepet eye. It was not too obvious. At first i thought it may be because of semut. I just sapukan my breast milk to her eyes.

Then next morning, her eye lagi sepet. The bengkak lagi besar. So i decided to take her to the clinic. Doctor checked her eyes and asked a few questions like
- Ada taik mata? No
- Mata dia berair tak? No
- Dia garu-garu mata tak? No

She was perfectly fine. She played as usual and seems couldn't be bothered with her swollen eyes. The doctor didn't find any habuk or anything. So basically, doctor pun tak sure what cause her swollen eye. The doctor gave eye drop to be taken 4 times a day. And Alhamdulillah after 2 drops, her eyes are getting back to normal.
I pun confuse what cause her swollen eye. Any ideas?
