:: 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..

:: which one is to be deliberate? 1430H or 2009..::

..." wishing you a very happy new year!!" this tag is wished by most of us. but lets think about this, y must we celebrate 2009 instead of our 1429H? is there any celebration for 1430H? any usrah, or any event to evaluate or muhasabah our performances in 1428H, anything for 1429H and 1430H? >>not even in UniMAP i must say!

we set our new goals when the 2008 is saying tata...we are happy and proud when most of our goals were achieved. but have we really achieved our goals in 1430H? any goals touching our way of life? --Islam is our way of life? i am far from a gud wife, a gud mother and a gud ummah. but each day i wud remind myself not to get carried away with the materialistics in life. trying my best to be a gud ummah.

most of us are very keen to celebrate the 2009 new year. the so called ambang tahun baru, perarakan tahun baru, sambutan tahun baru can be seen all over Malaysia, at every state, every town there is. but instead, is there any Majlis Solat Berjemaah besar-besaran been conducted on 29th of december 2008 to welcome our 1st Muharram 1430H?

what do you have to answer to Allah?

frankly, i am so very sad looking at my friends who are looking forward for tonite's celebration!fireworks, free flow wine, new year dances, couples hugging tightly..

Nauzubillah! Doa akhir tahun right after Asar prayers, and doa awal tahun right after Maghrib, solat sunat, Y in the aren't we aware of these things? these are some of our amalan to welcome our new year should be.

May Allah swt bless us all and may we have blessing year ahead.

Amin!

note: geram tahap gaban tgk org dok kalut tak ketahuan hala punca nak celebrate 2009 new year

:: azfar @ Klinik Sedhu ::

look my hero... :) while waiting for our turn, he read the ABC book. :)

last nite, we went out to meet our doctor. ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~ is having seasonal rash. the doctor prescribed a few tablets and we headed home as my little hero was feeling very sleepy.

:: mango puree ::

i wasnt feeling too gud last nite. prepared mango puree for azfar n some sandwiches for ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~

:: Universal Size ::

For us to think about...

:: Hobby & Favourite Thing 2 Do ::

~reading the ABC~

i bought him a few books (soft books too) just to create the interest of reading. this scene was caught on camera while he was at his tokteh's house (my MIL). i bought books in English as our mother tongue is Malay knowing that he will be talking mostly in Malay.. i guess different people has different views.

Azfar started to Kuling-kuling Sapi (old folks song)...the moment he wakes up, when he is feeling bored...semuala.. :) the song goes like this:

Kuling kuling sapi
Kuling sampai tepi
Belum tumbuh gigi
Azfar dah pandai mengaji

Kuling kuling sapi
Kuling sampai tepi
Baba takdak sini
Azfar main dengan Ummi

Kuling kuling sapi
Kuling sampai tepi
Azfar lay down sini
Dengaq tok baca ABC

Kuling kuling sapi
Kuling sampai tepi
Ummi dok tepi tepi
Azfar baca One-Two-Three

:: here & there ::

at first, we decided not to go due to some things which suddenly popped up( damn shit that girl!!!) well, Allah knows best, after almost 3 weeks i've been planning for the KL trip, finally we shoot off from Kg Guru at exactly 3pm. Azfar's Chiak was not that happy. Y?>>he doesnt like the idea of having his grandson in the middle of the day..panaihhh..sayang cucu laa...mangkala buleh nak bg dok dlm bilik aircond ja.. :D

stopped at Bukit Merah R&R for Azfar's 'tea' :). Tok made him a nice rice+sweet potato puree. after feeding him, we continued our journey to KL. Alhamdulillah, it didnt rain at all..not even a single drop ... Chiak as usual kept calling me every 1-2 hours just to ask where were we, how was the road traffic, what is his groovy cucu doing... :)

we reached TokSu Mike & Toksu Mas's high-rise at around 9pm after caught in Sg Buloh's jam.. damn!! Azfar was happy all the way from Perlis. talking non-stop with baba & ummi ..hehehhehe...

Our trip started with a visit to Plaza Pudu ( desmond camera shop ) since ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~ wished to look for new gadgets..wat can i say...gadget freak! this n this, here n there..emmm..emmm..ooo..ok..ooo..this one...that one...how much aa...this one?... finally, ~j.e.j.a.k.a.~ decided to get himself a 50D from Photo Mania and a lens from Foto Selangor.
Auntie Yah as usual wud want to meet Azfar. so IKEA we went.. how forgetful i was, it was packed with human!!! the long Q..no thanks..we wondered at IKANO and the curve for about 3 hours and headed to Subang Jaya as TokNgah wanted to give us a treat..TQ TokNgah.. Azfar fell asleep comfortably even when TGIF waiters were singing loudly..

during dinner at TGIF, i had to feed Azfar with Gerber applesauce since there was no way i can cook. :( he didnt really enjoy la...sian kat azfar na...

the next day, Tita & Tito promised to join us for shopping. :) we headed to The Pavilion. I was hoping we cud meet Tun Mahathir.. masin mulutttt...
