the deal is seal

2012-02-15T02:48:00.000+08:00

5th February 2012 is just a date. but a special date for me. because the deal is seal. ouh, i'm officially booked to a man that i really love for the rest of my life. inshaAllah...

meet the hug-gable teddy bear, Mr. H.. loolololol... after 1 year we met, then we promised to get marry next year (inshaAllah). we still getting to know each other. still learning and studying about us :)) thanks Allah finally i met someone that can guide me. the one that i really looking for after 26 years ago. this first and last boyfriend i ever had

alhamdulillah majlis berjalan lancar walaupun ada berlaku tragedi ala-ala bridezilla. oh sungguh keji perangai ni..

di hari kejadian.. masa tu tak rasa apa2 pun. nervous tak, sedih pun tak.. bila flashback tengok gambar2 ni semula, baru rasa sedih. sedih la, semua orang dalam gambar ni doakan hubungan kita. kita kena pegang semua doa orang yang doakan kita masa ni.. sob sob..

no dais because i don't want it. i just need minimize decoration for my bedroom. that's all. why need to waste so much money to rent a dais for few hours that can cost almost rm1000?

this is one of my favourite wedding favors in the goodie bag. yeah, got 5 stuffs inside it. but my dream is a cookie jar and a colourfull button cookies inside it. button cookies is a nostalgic cookies *wink wink* everybody will love that buttonaires..

hantaran from me to him. 7 berbalas 9. my cousin only snap 4 close up photos of the hantaran :( i hope more pictures coming in from other photographer because i'm really wanna see it on camera.

this is the most fussy thing in the engagement preparation. i don't want such a dulang tembaga, or bakul anyaman or kotak and whatsoever. because i knew it will end up dusty. what such a waste. hence, i decide to have a white plate that bought from the ssf. it was made from a glass. and really need to handle with care.

memang ada tragedi pun my lil' cousin terlanggar dengan kaki lalu stand dia pecah. memang dah pfffttt... terus pukul budak tu lalu dia nangis. kah kah kah. puas hati aku. nasib la tak pecah teruk, the stand break separately from the body, so it still can glued it up with gum pistol yang ajaib..

this is hantaran for me. i got telekung, kain, buah, choc moist cake, 3 set of towels, cincin yang wajib ada (wink!) dan penghulu segala hantaran; sirih junjung!

mak orang kuat. juga abah. even though got some drama about this engagement day, but then everything is going fine. that is all lessons for me. without them, i was nothing in this world..

actually banyak shot2 yang terlepas yang saya nak... this is some of the masterpiece..

dan last sekali aksi kami yang gedik2.. kakakak..

we are engaged! love is sweet, given or returned ~ ~ may this relationship lasts till the end. till death do us apart

p/s: ari sabtu birthday saya, tak sabar nak celebrate as a fiance! never celebrate as a girlfriend too. tapi tahun depan still tak sempat celebrate as a wife :(

with love,

oh oh semangat. this is my first time experiment on caramel. cheh! loser gileeee... and i really love it sebab caramel dia tak banyak, so takda la muak sangat. and.. i love the combination colour too. this recipe taken from here. buat satu casserole, tapi tak puas makan sebab saya bawak balik satu polistren, anip bawak satu, hazim bawak satu, n tinggal satu bahagian untuk mak abah hadi kat rumah. lepas ni kena buat lagi sebab nak bagi dear boyfie..

PUDING KARAMEL LAPIS SPECIAL

resipi : K.Nor@SecubitGaram

casserole saiz 22cm x 22cm. Guna loyang pun boleh...

Bahan utk puding karamel:

1 tin susu cair

1/4 tin air (tin susu cair)

5 sudu besar gula castor

4 biji telor gred A

1 sudu kecil esen vanila

1 sudu besar serbuk coklat

1/2 sudu kecil coklat emulco (saya tak guna pun)

Bahan utk gula hangus:

6 sudu besar gula

2 sudu besar air panas

Bahagian utk puding buih:

1 paket serbuk agar2 (12gm)

2 biji telur

500ml air

5sudu besar gula

1 sudu teh esen vanila

chocolate rice secukupnya

Utk membuat gula hangus:

Masak gula dgn air dengan api sederhana hingga gula cair dan bahagian tepi gula menjadi perang/keemasan.

Kacau perlahan2 dan teruskan masak hingga gula bertukar menjadi perang/keemasan keseluruhannya.

Padamkan api dan tuang ke dalam kaserol/casserol (atau mangkuk tahan panas) utk membuat Puding Karamel Lapis.

Utk membuat puding karamel:

Panaskan air dalam periuk pengukus hingga mendidih.

Satukan susu, air, telur, gula dan esen vanila kedalam sebuah mangkuk.

Kacau perlahan2 hingga sebati (jgn kacau terlalu kuat dan lama) dan tapiskan.

Bahagi dua adunan.

Satu bahagian hendaklah dimasukkan serbuk coklat dan coklat emulco.

Kacau sebati dan tapis.

Masukkan aduan puding yg pertama (tanpa dimasukkan serbuk koko) ke dalam kaserol/casserole.

Kukus lebih kurang 10 minit.

Keluarkan dari periuk pengukus dan tuangkan adunan puding yg dicampur dgn serbuk coklat secara perlahan2.

Masukkan kembali ke dalam periuk pengukus dan kukus lagi selama 10 minit atau sehingga masak.

Keluarkan dari dari pengkukus dan biarkan sejuk.

Masukkan ke dalam peti ais agar puding betul2 sejuk sebelum dituangkan adunan puding buih.

Utk membuat puding buih:

Masak agar2 bersama air dan gula hingga mendidih. Bila dah mendidih masukkan esen vanila. Kacau sebati. Biarkan sebentar hingga adunan agar2 menjadi suam.

Bila adunan agar2 dah menjadi suam panas, pukul telur hingga betul2 kembang dan gebu.

Tuangkan adunan agar2 kedalam adunan telur dan kacau/pukul dgn mixer hingga sebati.

Keluarkan Puding Karamel Lapis dr peti ais dan cucuk2/gores2 sket bahagian atas puding dgn garfu (supaya adunan puding buih melekat pd puding karamel bila dah sejuk nanti)

Tuangkan adunan puding buih ke atasnya.

Sejukkan kembali dalam peti ais.

Tabur dgn chocolate rice sebelum dihidangkan..

Superwoman, supermom!

2011-08-17T22:04:00.000+08:00

i wonder how my mom can be a housewife, a nurse, a good chef in malay dishes, a gardener, entah ape2 lagi... she is soooo supermom! bayangkan dulu masa kitorang semua sekolah, kalau mak keje shift pagi, mak dah bangun pagi awal2 buat breakfast. not breakfast only, hence she prepared lunch for us. sebab kalau shift pagi from 0700 till 1400. duh.. lepas tu terus pegi keje.

i knew how tired is she. i knew it when i start work after my diploma. balik rumah terus kebaboom. tu tak masuk bab kena masak ape lagi. luckily my mom have abah yang sangat ringan tulang untuk tolong mak basuh kan kain. by the way, that is abah favourite task. pantang ada benda yang macam tak basuh, semua die nak humban dalam mesin. smapai mak rimas pun ada. hahahha...

oh, this post is not related to my mother's birthday nor mother's day. today is public holiday. and i have to go to work. yes, work! i kan workaholic. i woke up at 5 to prepare for sahur. prepare untuk seorang diri je. after sahur, i do laundry. but not using washing machine, i do it manually! bila dah subuh, i decide to take a shower first before pray. kalau tak, mesti lepas tu hanyut tidur semula. i nak masuk office awal since ada sooooo much urgent loading *sigh*. sampai office, badan sakit2 sebab terbongkok2 basuh kain... right at 5.45pm, cabut terus. i planned to cabut at 4pm, tapi kerja tak siap lagi, mana boleh cabut...

fuh, rasa nak masak.. tu pun dah penat. tak masuk lagi lipat baju satu bakul. siram pokok bunga, masak hebat2. sigh... tu tak kira lagi bab mak buat kuih untuk breakfast. ade tu penah mak jual marukku dgn puding kat tempat kerja sebab ramai request. duhhhh...

baru hidup single, tu pun banyak housechores yang buat ikut mood je. i wish i can be as good as my supermom.

waccchaaaaaa!

di suatu ketika yang hening di carrefour subang jaya
misi mencari pantyliner berjenama libresse

salesgirl laurier: cari ape kak?

brown sugar: pantyliner.. libresse.. ah tu dia! (sambil tunjuk kat libresse lah! girang)

salesgirl laurier: sebelum guna libresse guna apa?

brown sugar: kotex (jawab pendek. aku tau kau nak tanya macam2 kan..

salesgirl laurier: penah guna laurier?

brown sugar: pernah, dulu. tapi tak suka la.. tak best..

salesgirl laurier: ............ (mesti dia menyesal tanya aku kan)

brown sugar: teima kasih..

ya, memang dasar tak sayang mulut punya budak. tapi at least aku tak kena heret macam2 soalan kan. nak selamatkan diri. tapi memang betul pun laurier tak best. harap2 dia bagitau pihak R&D laurier.

menyesal pulak tak borak panjang tadi. kot2 lepas diorang buat research aku boleh jadik duta ganti misha omar. boleh jugak beat dengan yuna .. T__T

p/s: kalau pakai libresse boleh nyanyi2 riang walaupun PMS. brand lain mana ada lagu boleh nyanyi macam tu.

Just when you thought it all have ended here

2011-08-13T14:23:00.002+08:00

Just when you thought you don't have any friends left beside you. You working, you have fewer time for yourself. Your day are 9-5 every weekdays. Just when you thought you have the weekend, you have to catch up with your laundry, spring cleaning, watching your favorite movie with your family and friends. By the end of it you realize its Sunday and its already your bedtime for tomorrow Monday blues. You don't even have the luxury like those were the days in your undergrad. You starts to count one by one who's your real friends are.

You hated the feeling. You love your job but you hate getting up early in the morning for the knowledge that you still have 4 more days to wake up early. You hated you have to manage your holidays because you only have 22 days per year. You hate that everybody have to take the same road that you take every morning. You hated the sight of a greasy school kids shouting at each other, calling each other names happily and laughing their ass off to a joke that was not even a joke to begin with. You lost your sense of humor. You are drawn with your ambitious career for the sake of savings to pay up loans to took to buy a house. You watch BBC for god's sake.

But if you really think of it, you do have a good life. You went to a good college. You once laughed you ass off to a joke that wasn't a joke to begin with. You broke rules by playing fire crackers in college premises and run as if you've a ghost, forgot you left your friend by getting in the car to drove off. You went to karaoke and sang until your head's off. For those who had their birth date you have the chance to crack eggs on their faces. When exams season, you spent quarter of your day in the department top floor with friends that love to annoy you by asking so many electronics questions. you studied so hard you didn't realize its already morning of the exam day. You graduated with good results though you wish you had studied hard enough to get first class. You have a decent job. You can afford to go shopping almost every week and you are proud of yourself. Don't you think you deserve a big applaud?

So you decide it is tome to move on. Be in the next chapter of your life. To be where you are suppose to be when you are already 26. You know you haven't lost your sense of humor because your friend's laugh explained it enough. You know you still have your real friends when they leave an "i miss you" msg on your YM. And your holidays are more fun than previous one because you can afford more than you did before. Isn't it lovely like the daisies?

I have always thought I have my life at the tip of my finger. I've my life sorted out already like a homemade recipe just ready to be made. I would write about my hopes and dreams and future wannabes in a diary/paper; like I would have a master degree and become an engineer and I would then fold the paper and prepare the ingredients needed. I would work my ass off to get the most delicious homemade success based on the recipe written. So by the time I would have to open it back, I can make sure a few of them can be checked accordingly. And by that time, I can't help myself smiling or even letting out the sound 'heh' while I read through it. Proud.

What's your chapter of life right now?

hugs and kisses,

15 Things You Probably Never Knew or Thought About

2011-08-13T14:04:00.001+08:00

have you realized that....

1. At least 5 people in this world love you so much they would die for you.

2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way.

3. The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you.

4. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don't like you.

5. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep.

6. You mean the world to someone.

7. If not for you, someone may not be living.

8. You are special and unique.

9. Someone that you don't even know exists loves you.

10. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good comes from it.

11. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world.

12. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won't get it, but if you believe in yourself, probably, sooner or later, you will get it.

13. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks.

14. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know.

15. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

sebenarnye tadi dah delete blog. oh, blog ni dah create lama. lepas tu delete lah, bila tengok post dulu-dulu pathetic gile aku ni rupanya kan. buat malu je kalau nak baca semula.lepastu kalau dah delete boleh refresh semula dalam tempoh berapa minggu entah.

lepas tu tiba2 rasa macam nak buat blog balik. eh, macam jilat ludah sendiri pulak. cis! lepas tu macam tak tau pulak nak letak url name ape sebab, ah mesti la sebab url name ni je yang best. pfffttt.. lepas tu malas nak buat header baru, malas nak buat link baru, malas nak signup nuffnang baru. ah segala malas lah. ape je yang kau rajin. ada blog ni pun sebab asyik mengadap lappy je buat final year project.

latest entry sebelum delete segalak post tadi kan, ialah entri masa puasa last year. oh.. dah setahun kot... zaman tok adam. sejak kerja punya la malas gila. padahal setiap malam je online. tapi malas tu macam dah label serata badan. tu pun asyik banyak post pasal makanan je. sekarang takde nye.. nampak makanan terus ngap. tak kuasa la nak snap snap gambar dulu kan. tak macho la wehhh

eh, sebenarnya nak bagi mukadimah je. bukan nak bagi tazkirah pun. entri dari dulu mana nak penah pendek. macam mana ai cakap, macam tu la ai tulis/taip kan. duhhh
okay, since sekarang dah dewasa menginjak 27 tahun depan, maka kena la make up blog secara dewasa jugak.

bye! (kalau ada orang baca la.. kesian pathetic gile)

p/s: kalau ai rajin, ai buat la entri. kalau malas, paham2 je lah... maklumlah, rajin ni bila ada angin je. kalau tak, jumpa puasa tahun depan pulak la eh..
