The Journal

Yup, tonight we went for Raya Shopping...well, not exactly shopping sakan ...because we took only half an hour to get the girls' baju kurung and shoes. That was all. We didn't have any theme colour this year..... ntah la ....kinda not in the mood of thinking of any theme. As long as the girls has the baju raya and the kasut raya .....it's still Raya . Hehehe ... Yasmin is too young to really understand the meaning of Hari Raya yet, so when we were trying to measure her size she kept running away.... " nanak ... nanak ..." ,translates - " taknak .. taknak " . She even refused to try the shoes.....but as we got home and her sisters started to put on all the new clothes complete with the shoes, then she got excited. Jumping around.....stumping her feet.... hehehe . She looked so cute in that baju kurung ......err.... tokleh reveal lagi ... nanti baju raya basi .... hehehe . There's one more thing that I wish I could get for the girls....(

Nyum nyum ..... These are my project for tonight. Presenting......my homemade pineapple tart..! Actually, I'm not so into baking cookies. Baking cakes...preparing dishes like curry.. . gulai .. ..all kinds of nasi and lauk pauk is fine with me, but cookies...is not one of my enthusiasts, just like my mom. I don't know why but most probably because baking cookies demands a lot of time and patience. So every time Hari Raya I buy most of the raya cookies. Much2 convenient for someone like me. But this year....I managed to bake my own cookies instead of buying it! So far I've prepared two kinds of cookies - Biskut Suji and Pineapple Tart, both are our favourite ! Tahun ni tahun rajin buat biskut .... .and it is also my first time baking those cookies....I mean those two kinds of cookies. So since I'm in the " rajin " mood, I'm thinking of baking my own Almond London......I just need to buy some almonds and chocolate. That's all..... Ni bis

It's 2 o'clock in the morning and I just couldn't sleep so I decided to update something .I've been reading my friends blogs and it seems that almost everybody has started their Shopping raya...except me. I've been very busy with my Laksam business that I lost count on how many days we've been fasting..until today....I found out that we'll be celebrating Raya in less than 2 weeks! Mak aii ... kejap nyer ! We haven't really gone for Raya Shopping......but the girls just get raya tops from their aunt, Che' Tie - my sis. Specially delivered from Sandakan. Che' Tie and Ayah Sae are going to celebrate Raya in Kelate..... huhuhuhuuu...jelesnyer ....Anyway, on behalf of Sophea, Laila and Yasmin....thank you Che' Tie and Ayah Sae for the lovely tops..... memang comey and suits the girls...they just love it very much.. .cume masa they opened the box and discovered the tops...Laila's first comment was... " Baju sajer ? "... sab

Angah dah pandai naik basikal tayar dua dah....Yasmin pon sibuk nak bonceng..."duk..duk...", sambil angkat kaki dia nak duduk kat belakang Angah. Owh...by the way...Yasmin dah bulih cakap sikit2...duduk= duk, buka= tak (nak tutup pun dia kata "tak" jugak,hehehe..), naik=nek (nak turun pun dia kata nek jugak) makan= tan, minum= num, sakit = atit, nak = nak and ada la beberapa perkataan lagi...sumer dia sebut hujung2 jerr.....tapi Ayam mmg sebijik dia sebut..ayam!

I have been very2 busy since the first day of Ramadhan that I couldn't spend even a minute in front of the PC. Ramadhan has always been my busiest month of the year for the past 4 years. Why? It's because during Ramadhan I'll sell some kuehs and ayam percik at Pasar Ramadhan... .well, kind of Pasar Ramadhan . But this year I'll only open my stalls during weekends and public holidays only, while on weekdays I'll sell the kueh s at a friend's stall, since my Ayang schooling session only ends by 5 o'clock. Though it's very tiring preparing all the meals and the kuehs as early as after Sahur, but I've always enjoyed it even if by the end of the day, after iftar both me and my Ayang would collapsed.Hehehe.....however this year it seems that my other friends who always open their stalls during Ramadhan too is not around. Some I know why and some I don't. How is Sophea doing ? Well, on the first day of Ramadhan she broke her fast at 5 o'clock, on

I'd like to wish all muslims in every part of the world happy fasting.....may this Ramadhan brings us more b arakah . I've always enjoyed Ramadhan, the fasting month. I really hope one day I'll be able to perform my umrah in Mecca during Ramadhan, insyaAllah. This Ramadhan too, I'm training Sophea to fast for the first time. I think she's ready and so does she because she has been telling me that she wants to fast. We'll see about it tomorow how she'll be doing. I have given her and Laila a basic briefing on fasting.....what,when and how. So far so good....hehehe...tengok la esok...how it goes...good luck girls!

I am a whale. Whale is the biggest mammals in the whole wide world. It gives birth and breastfeed their cubs, just like other mammals. Why the heck am I talking whales? I don't know ......but right now....I feel like I'm a whale........

ni sebenar nyer nak try fungsi baru dalam blogger nih......okeh!

I definitely have no idea.....I kept looking around searching and hoping for some inspiration from things around me but...still, blank...nothing interesting popped in my mind. Well, may be this photo will help me. This is a photo of Laila's lunch. Hehehe....I wasn't sure exactly when, but it was definitely during lunch time. As usual I would call the girls from the kitchen to take their own plate and be ready for lunch.....and suddenly Laila had a special request "Mak, Angah nak makan nasi dengan kicap, dengan ikan dan biskut...." what? biskut ? Pelik2 lah Laila ni.... I thought. "Mana orang makan dengan biskut Angah....tak sedap laa...." I replied. But she insisted to have the rice with the biscuit . Have it your way my dear....it's your tounge, it's your mouth.....it's your stomach... "Haa...kan Angah dah kata...sedap!" Pelik sungguh anok aku soghe nih...

Not mine..but Sophea's. She just lost another tooth today. What about mine? Errr....can we talk about something else? *big grin*. Ooooo...my little girl is growing up.... tader dah gigi dua batang.... Anyway, yesterday Ayang spent the whole day with me....hehehe....in the morning we went for breakfast....I got the chance to go to the baking shop.....bought some mozarella cheese.... wajib ada ni kat umah.... we sent the kids to their kindie.....and then we went curtain shopping, not only for Hari Raya but for the next couple years. Since we moved into this house 2 years ago, the curtains that we hang are the only curtains that we own. Hehehe.....so we decided that it is time for us to get a new one. But only for the main door- the sliding door. Now , all I need to do is to find someone who can sew the curtain. Huh..if only I knew how to sew.....( yelah tue....) . I just can't wait to see how it would look when I hang 'em. This time it will match our sofa color and also the r

Today, 31st August 2007 marks the 50th celebration of independence of Malaysia....may Allah bless all of us...good fellow of Malaysians. I spent my Merdeka Holiday in the kitchen....hehehe.

Huhuhuhuuuu (cry )...let me start with that phrase. Last night I had toothache! *cried* ( mcm budak kecik jer sakit gigi ...) . It's been ages since the last time I had toothache ....and ages since the last time I've ever seen a dentist. Hee..hee..heee....it's my upper tooth , I had been planning of seeing a dentist once I've noticed that my upper tooth has a small hole. But you know....like a small kid, a trip to the dentist has always been my greatest fear - even though my own sister is a dentist! Eiii .. takutnyer jumper dentist. I need A LOT of guts before I could ever set my foot into the clinic. I thought I could release the ache by brushing my teeth but it didn't go away. I tried to channel my concentration by watching tv with the hope that I would forget about the tooth, but it didn't work either. At last, I couldn't take it anymore.......I reached the phone and start dialling my Ayang's number. Once I heard his voice through the pho

It wasn't even past 12 in the afternoon yet but I've already feeling restless. Nothing extraordinary just doing house chores as usual but the tiredness seems unusual. Hehehe...My Ayang is not home again, he's in Kudat for a badminton tournament.....arrgghh.....boring.....the school break has come to the end and during the whole break...we didn't go anywhere.... .balik2 pusing Keningau sajer .....I noticed almost all of my neighbours aren't home. 3 doors to the left.....another 3 up front. Cuti- cuti Malaysia.....Good for them. Ingatkan cuti skolah ni boleh la gi KK ...but unfortunately tak jadik. ..I lost count how many times we had to cancel our trip to KK. Malas dah .... :( The water supply is off today, again (lately, kerap betul tader air on weekends ! ) . So I decided to prepare burgers for lunch today. Much easier and convinient. If only we had Pizza Hut Delivery here in Keningau.....it would be much2 better. Hehehehe....Yesterday I tried a new recipe - Ayam

Sophea Munira Mokhsin, 6 years. Yesterday, 18th August is my eldest daughter's birthday. She has turned 6 ! She had requested a heart shaped cake from me months ago for her birthday......but since I haven't bought the heart shaped cake tin, so I couldn't bake her any cake. Huhuhu...sian anak mak... but, thank god Ayah had a surprise for her. He bought her a heart shaped birthday cake and she was very delighted to see the cake. "macam mana ayah tahu kakak nak cake yang macam nie? " .....hehehe....."Ayah tahu laa...ayah mestila tahu..."Ayah replied....well, if it wasn't mak who told ayah , of course ayah wouldn't have a clue. Sponge cake jerr...tak sempat nak tempah kek besh2.... mind the hair okay....hehehe... And today, we went out for lunch, went groceries shopping....went to the furniture shop.... cuci mata... it's been a while since the last time we visited the furniture shop ...hehehe....Ayang had been very2 busy even on weekends :( whic

Ikan Kerapu Kukus Ayam Madu with Nasi Ayam (gambar nasi tak amik) Seri Kaya.... I don't really know what to write so I guess by uploading some photos will do too. Besides, a photo worth more than a thousand words.....hehehe....but these are photos of my menu for the week that I managed to have a snap. Not much....

It was extremely hot lately. I had to treat myself with cold drinks everyday which I rarely do. But, even with icy cold drinks couldn't take the heat away......... I went to the clinic today for my regular check up. Yasmin weighs 8kg now! Yeayy...... ada improvement. Ayang tapau me Nasi Goreng Kampung for lunch since he knew that we wouldn't be able to be home by lunch time. Yesterday we had Kari Kepala Ikan for lunch (again?) . ...and what's for dinner tonight? I haven't decided yet.....actually , there's nothing much to tell since I'm kinda sleepy...maybe I should take a nap a minute or two. Anyway....some photos to share... sessi rehersal bergambar untuk hari raya....hehehe...no lah... Gotcha!...hehehe.

This morning, I woke up with no spirit.....I did spend a few minutes before I could ever really get up and head to the toilet. I wished I could stay on bed all day long..(do I really want that? actually, nope ) . But lots of chores are waiting for me as usual. The kids woke up earlier than me....even Yasmin woke up hours before me...hehehe. I took her down the bed and continued with my sleep....hahaha. Ape punyer mak laa.... I didn't feel like talking to anybody....I hardly open my mouth...I was supposed to be happy today but I didn't . I just carried on with my non-stop chores. Breakfast for the girls, the laundry , the kitchen and then Yasmin pooped so I had to settle her first before I could proceed with my other stuff . I wanted to prepare something special like Biryani ker...Nasi Tomato kerr.. for lunch today but.......since I glued both my lips so I just cancelled it. Lain kali laa...tader mood la pulak. I kept feeling down till late afternoon ..... I surfed for job v
