:: my bestfriend's checklist ::

yes..i'm helping my friend with her engagement list..she is away and alone in KL..and so i decided to help her as much as i can. Nun as always will be the dress consultant. just now, we went and bought a pink lacey suit for ZahrahNawi. she will definitely look stunning in that pink lace baju kurung.

she also asked my opinion on other things..aihh..leh jadi wedding planner camni la.. :) so i contacted the make up artist during my engagement receptions. we agreed on the price and she will do her magic on zahrah's face...

as the list continues, the 3 of us shall work together just to make sure the ceremony goes well.

p/s: im having a headache thinking of wat baju tu put on during ur engagement yayah.. :) baju kenduri hang dah kena siap 3 pasang..azfar takpa la..he has a lot of new clothes lagi..ummi ni takdak dah baju

Add vanilla essence and the flour mixture alternately with the milk. ( the flour mixture shud be shifted to air in; which includes the baking powder, flour n salt) 4.

:: Laporan Penilaian Prestasi- which is not to my expectation!! ::

Nothing much to be said except:

1-i was not called to discuss the evaluation>>which is totally WRONG
2-komunikasi dengan staf+pelajar>> i hate to discuss stupid things with staffs and entertaining students who are trying to make lame excuses just to get away
3-proaktif>>tell me, who initiate 90% of the paperwork in the school? who make the announcement to the staffs on exam which other schools did not have? who get someone to officiate ICED2008??????who get the best quotations without having anything in return??

the evaluator(the Dean of PPKKP) made me really angry and this is the second time. he once told me i am very emotional, now u tell me who is the emotional one? he came to me asking who signed a letter during his 1 month leave whereby we have our Surat Turun Kuasa...and in return he gave me 80.3% for the LPP. now all my HOPE to seek for JPA's cuti belajar is shattered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

last year we had a quarrel on the expenditures (which in turn he is wrong! ), takkan ketua jabatan taktau kot penggunaan Vot..dah tu tak percaya ngan AR..adoi..serves him rite when the Penolong Bendari explained that he was wrong..hahahahahahahahah and yet he gave me just 85%.

u tell me. how motivated can u be?

p/s: i am doing the brochure on my own, my design n yet im still not proactive?? wow..thats true.

well said n done my super-perfect dean!

:: a gift from India ::

such a light and fluffy scarf

Professor Farid Ghani dropped by at my office and asked if i will still be in the office for the next 10 minutes. he usually has something to discuss or to share. i really respect him as he knows the rules, regulations, what a lecturer suppose to do, he knows a lot and i think that is y USM reluctantly let him come to UniMAP. he came with a very small paperbag. not knowing wat inside, he explained that he noticed that i sometimes put on colourful scarfs and sometimes with patterns on. so he get me a 100% indian silk scarf for me during his last visit home to India.

TQ Prof! as wise man says~ its the thought that counts. walhal rasanya aku takkan pakai pun scart ni...kecik size dia :)

:: a warm bowl of beef curry ::

Alhamdulillah today azfar is 7 months old! :)

my ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~ is not feeling gud. down with slight fever. he wanted me to make him roti jala and beef curry. and so while he was out for cycling in the morning, i prepared the beef curry. and just before maghrib, my also little big boy asked for roti jala. i dont have the roti jala mold at home and so i used the sandwich bag..hehehe.. cut off the end..and walllap.. not so fine roti jala.


nellie, yayah...i'll make sure roti jala will be served when u both come over! :)

Roti Jala by haku-ko

2 cups of plain flour
1 egg ( i dun like the smell of eggs, so i just threw in 1 egg instead of 2)
tap water (enough to make a loose batter)
2 tablespoonful of oil
1 screw pine leaf
tiny drops of yellow colouring (optional)

how i did it without the mold?

1. mix the flour, water, egg & colouring
2.make sure the batter is loose (u dun want the batter to be thick or else u'll be having trouble with the mold)
3. using a non-stick pan, rub the oil using the screw pine leaf lightly
4. use the sandwich bag and go round&round the pan (make it sure tangles!)
5.turn over for a minute
6. fold it into a crepe shape or popia shape
7. serve with warm beef+potato+sweet potato curry
8. sedappp oooo.....

p/s: can't wait for azfar's new carpet..(where else can u get cheap things if its not IKEA) TQ toksu mas + toksu mike..
