Saturday Blues

This blog is obviously berkubur considering i'm no longer in JB/Pasir Gudang and is already back in the super duper busy hectic life in KL.

Working life truly require so much commitment and energy. If only I could just go through mesin merentas masa like in doraemon and go back to college days in Minnesota. Just to see how the place is now, jalan2 pegi west bank lintas Mississippi, tengok balik old lecture buildings, lepak kat park depan kelas jepun punya building sambil makan boba tea and nasi vege mapo tofu or unagi set or fish roll set, jalan kat downtown sambil tgk book sales, farmers market, lunch or dinner village wok, or kedai pak ali yang ada nasi roast chicken paling sedap dalam dunia.

Truth is mesin merentas masa only exist dalam doraemon and right now i've to go back to evaluation room... on a saturday morning.. hehe

Changes

I noticed that my life now is affecting my mood, reaction and behavior to certain things. Contoh:

1. Masa dulu2 I used to be excited everytime my phone rings or ada msg. Now, it's more like "alamak, sapa pulak ni"... then "oh, mama/ abah rupanya" or "alamak, bos pulak call, apsal pulak ni"

2. I used to like going out and think of what to wear going out. Now, the ideaa of going out is unappealing BECAUSE I have to change my clothes from the ones I wear at home.

3. Dulu, before balik rumah, seboleh-boleh nak singgah sana sini, hang out for teh tarik la, pasar malam la, masa kat perlis siap boleh pi dinner kat siam lagi. Now, bila otak dah set nak balik, nak singgah pi isi minyak pon dah rasa malas and melambatkan.

4. Dulu, tido lambat bangun lambat. Now, tido awal bangun awal. Kalau nak pegi mana during weekends, kalau boleh nak keluar earliest possible biar jalan raya/ tempat yang nak pegi tu lengang lagi.

5. I used to call most people 'kak'. Now, I could hear people start calling me 'kak' hehe.

I think this is all a sign of ageing. I don't even know how to spell ageing ke aging? Yang samanya, I always like to eat good food, dulu dan sekarang, dan maybe selamanya hehe

Ramadhan Kareem

Salam

Selamat Menyambut Ramadhan Mubarak and Selamat Berpuasa kepada semua yang beragama Islam. Maaf Zahir Batin.

Pagi ni agak ngantuk la bangun sahur. Nasib gak hotel tu ada ganti breakfast with sahur.. start at 4.30. Kul 5.10 camtu dah turun sahur dah, makan je apa ada, cepat2 sebab dah sibuk nak sambung tido balik.

Today Johor cuti, tapi kitorang cuti ikut KL la pulak kononnya so kena kerja. But the good thing is jalan raya tak jem. Sempat la pi isi minyak dulu pagi2 tu, isi angin kat tayar je tak sempat sebab rasa cam lama je.

Puasa this year is a bit sad sebab kena sahur n buka sendiri2. Hopefully dapat balik awal. Rasanya for Ramadhan we can balik kul 4 sebab sambung kerja during lunch hour. So, sempat la kalau nak pi pasar ramadhan tu, masalahnya dekat mana je... kena cari dulu. Dekat hotel tu ada gak buffet ramadhan but mahal n tak berbaloi. I mean how much can a person eat during buka puasa kan. Terawikh pon nampak gayanya buat dalam bilik je la this year.

Ok, that's all for now. Jangan membazir and belanja banyak2 sgt. It totally defeats the point of puasa then. wassalam.

Salam

Wow, i haven't been updating for like almost a month. This is really like hangat2 taik ayam je.. and I'm not even back in KL for good yet!!! Kalau dah balik kl nanti mungkin la this blog will berkubur hohoho. Classic example of a person who very easily get bored.

My little sister is back in Malaysia for good. Alhamdulillah. We picked her up on Saturday kat KLIA... excited sgt. Unfortunately, Sunday night I've to go back here. Well, nasib la jugak Sunday night, ada jugak byk sikit masa. If I go by bus, then Sunday afternoon/evening dah kena gerak.

Some Cooking Tips:

1. When cooking for fried rice, the rice should be cooked a bit keras.

2. Kalau tumis2 bawang, I like the bawang to be slightly burned - it gives stronger taste.

3. Kalau masak thai dish, adding fish oil would give the "Thai taste".

4. I never put in 'ajinomoto' etc. in my cooking, nanti rasa muak.

5. Whipping fresh milk would not turn the milk to 'cream'. This i learned by experimenting sebab whipped cream adalah mahal, so i tried to whip in fresh milk, didn't work out huhu

Meeting Day

Today ada 3 meetings.. well, supposedly. Pagi ada management meeting for tangga barat, petang lak for kinabalu. There's supposed to be another meeting/engagement with GM petang at 4 tapi kitorang dok tunggu2 takde gak lagi. Then kul 5 bgtau meeting cancel... but okla, dah takde mood dah pon nak buat kerja so from 4-5 jadi sesi bergelak ketawa je...

Esok, insya Allah balik KL. Malam rasanya mcm ada bbq kat shah alam... not sure nak pegi ke tak, tapi most probably pergi... lagipon rasa dah lama tak pi makan bbq.

Here are 5 things that I like to talk about:

1. Food - bersemangat ok, kalau tengah ngantuk pon but when the topic is food terus rasa segar.

2. Travel - Another favorite topic. mana nak pi for vacation, what kind of activities yang boleh buat and best... planning it all.. hmm... memang best la.

3. Work - yeah, unfortunately I also like to talk about work. Maybe because it's part of my life and tak boleh nak lari la kira.. and sometimes it's kind of interesting, when your plan goes smooth, or ada achieve something.

4. Love and Relationship - this is favorite topic especially for ladies.. need I say more...you'll nener get bored of it because you'll never understand it.

5. Family - I think families are unique and from sharing experiences/stories you could actually improve and tolerate more.. appreciate more....

Sedih la malam tadi germany tak menang. I woke up at 3.30 just to watch them play, nasib masa jaga tu baru start 2nd half and goal tgh 0-0 lagi. Kalau bangun dah 3-0 ke, sambung je la tido balik. They look tired, cam malas kejar bola pon ada, kurang attack, good thing their defend is pretty strong... and spain is like semangat, byk attack, defend pon best je. I support germany and I think they've almost done the best (almost sebab takde muller), but for last night's game, spain is the better team.. so, go spain for the finals!!!

Ada lagi 5 hari puasa kena ganti!!!

That's right. Alhamdulillah, tadi habis lagi satu hari selesai ganti. Ada 5 days to go... fuhhh... Ni lah akibat ganti puasa ala2 last minute ni. Kelam kabut. Pulak tu dugaan besar bila puasa time orang lain tak puasa ni.. ajak pergi makan la, ada makan free la... macam2.

Tadi buka nasi goreng ayam kat kedai mamak. Dah asik makan nasi goreng style melayu/cina je, bosan la pulak kan. Anyway, rasa dia ok la..not bad, tapi tak amik gambar le sebab dah kelaparan. Sekarang ni rasa macam best pulak kalau dapat air sejuk yg sedap...hmm.. tgklah kalau rajin nanti pegi buat.

Sapa la agaknya menang world cup ni eh. I hope germany will win. Tengok gaya dia lawan argentina hari tu... perghhh... memang semangat habis. Usually team would buang masa, or start defend je once they know they're gonna win right, but not the germans. Boleh sumbat lagi satu goal dah nak last2 tu... they're playing the best they could, every time... so go germany!!!

Last weekend ingat nak try buat cheesecake style yg tak bake, tapi sebab dah sibuk makan durian so tak sempat and takde mood sebab dah kekenyangan. Yela, balik 2 hari.. ok, 1.5 hari je, sebab sunday by 3 dah kena gerak tu bukit jalil naik bas. Masa tu la nak makan segala2 hahaha.. mana nak sempat.

Supposedly, my last day here at Pasir Gudang would be end of July..but then, takde pon lagi dengar2 on who's going to replace me.. so let's just hope for the best. Allah knows best. For me, cam dah tak sabar nak balik kl since insya Allah my sister is going back from London for good by end of July gak... Banyak benda nak sembang ni... hahaha

It's Friday!!!

Yesterday I went to Pasir Gudang Kompleks ada expo SME, and pelancaran menara aqabah... ada al-kulliyyah jugak live from there kot, but I didn't join in sebab dia start at 9 pm.

Anyway, while waiting for my friend yang tgh solat maghrib, ada la dengar baby nangis. The baby dalam stroller tengah nangis cam sedih sgt and there's a lady tolak the stroller but she didn't even looked at the baby... dia tolak bodoh je. I don't know if she's the baby's mom, and she knew the reason her baby is crying but there's nothing she could do at that time, tapi cara dia tu as if she didn't give a shit... so i assume she's just the maid/babysitter. Silently, I made a vow that I hopefully would not let my baby being taken care of by someone who doesn't care.

5 things that I love:

1. Sitting in the passenger seat while other people is driving... especially when going to work or from work sebab bad traffic.

2. Breakfast... I think it's the best meal of all :)

3. Working in peace... rasa macam boleh think clearly and carefully... but sometimes, solving problems/issues can add a bit spice, provided the problem is solved before i get tired of it...

4. Chatting (face to face or shoulder to shoulder... doesn't matter) with friend whom I am comfortable with... about nothing n everything...

5. Tengok cerita hantu... tapi yang betul2 tak nak tengok, huhu
