Projek kuih raya bersama Wanie Zakaria

This supposed to be post last month, tapi sebab sangat sibuk siapkan projek ni dan beraya lupa nak publish post. Anyway, here's the story.....celebrating eid far from family and friends is really a saddest thing ever :( but what to do, no choice...workloads memaksa untuk tidak balik beraya di Malaysia. 

Jadi untuk tidak merasa sedih me n my raya friend, wanie pun buatlah projek kuih raya! dan kadang2 dibantu oleh tiwi. Tak sangka kami sungguh berbakat dah rajin skali..hehe (this is the first time for us making kuih raya). At least kami sangat rasa gembira dan terlupa kesedihan tak dapat balik raya.

dan, inilah hasilnya....

A Book Of Memories

Hidden in the attic,
all the way upstairs,
is something very special,
that I would like to share.

My hopes,
my dreams,
old photographs,
of good times and bad times that make me laugh.

The joy of a hug,
the thrill of a kiss,
leaves me to remember the pure, simple bliss.

I cry for the fun,
and giggle for the pain,
I enjoyed the good life I was able to maintain.

The thoughts and wishes,
they all stay with me,
all of these contained in my book of memories.

P/s: mode malas (yang teramat) nak siapkan writing!! nak raya lg, cuti2 dok rumah, pakai baju raya pegi jalan2 dan makan2, tak payah writing, tak payah reading...hishhhh

Once during raya celebration at Malaysia

A chapter of memories book, Yaya 2009. Eeerkk...masih mood raya! 

Iftar 14th Ramadhan

Happy ramadhan kareem! my 4th ramadhan di perantaun. So far, not much difference puasa di sini atau pun di Malaysia, the main point is still kewajipan muslim untuk berpuasa menahan diri dari lapar dan dahaga dan meningkatkan kesabaran...tapinya disini, we've to fast for 18 to 19 hours (perlu lebih kesabaran), cause its summer here and day time is longer than usual :D. 

Oh besides, paling ketara kat sini tak de la bazar ramadhan yang meriah macam kat malaysia, I do miss going to bazar ramadhan....macam2 bole beli kat sana ayam percik, laksa, satay, murtabak, kuih muihand bla bla bla.......

So instead of going to bazar, kitaorg kena masak sendiri perkara2 yang kami nak makan (bagus jugak bole belajar masak, kalo dok kat malaysia jangan harap nak masak macam ni) dan untuk hari ke 14

Here's the menu:

Starter: The very delicious pulut sotong versi Terengganu

Sangat sedap, pulut sumbat dalam sotong, for me versi terengganu lebih sedap sebab tak manis...

Sotong yang keseorangan, alin dah kidnap carot2nya

Main course: Nasi goreng ikan masin yang paling sedap di dunia!
Served with super spicy sambal belacan, prawn cracker and fresh vegetables (as for me, dis is just a decoration not necessarily need to be finished :P)

Served with chicken soup

Dessert: The extraordinary yummy kuih bakar
Crunchy on top, spongy inside 

Ini lagi sedap dari yang kat bazar

 And finally, penghibur: Naughty iman!

Sangat suke duduk kat rumah aunty sampai nangis2 tak nak balik...hehe esok Iman datang lagi ye!

Imannnnnnn

Selamat berpuasa!

California King Bed

Chest to chest
Nose to nose
Palm to palm
We were always just that close
Wrist to wrist
Toe to toe
Lips that felt just like the inside of a rose
So, how come when I reach out my finger
It feels like more than distance between us

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king

Eye to eye
Cheek to cheek
Side by side
You were sleeping next to me
Arm in arm
Dusk to dawn
With the curtains drawn
And a little last night on these sheets
So, how come when I reach out my fingers
It seems like more than distance between us

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king

Just when I felt like giving up on us
You turned around and gave me one last touch
That made everything feel better
And even then my eyes got wetter
So confused wanna ask you if you love me
But I don't wanna seem so weak
Maybe I've been California dreaming

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king
My California King

In this California king bed
We're ten thousand miles apart
I've been California wishing on these stars
For your heart for me
My California king

Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all?

I’ve read a story about a terrible, disgusting, horrible, bla bla bla mom. How could she gives Botox injections to her 8 yrs old daughter, just to make sure her daughter still in the running to win a beauty contest. For real???? OMG The girl just 8! Hello, x bole fikir ke? She should be charged for child abuse! Pathetic mother. Dis mom just ruined her daughter’s face for the rest of the kid life. Besides, the girl also had her leg waxed sbb nak kaki yg ‘ladylike’, hairy legs x cantik katanya. Fikiran budak tu pun dah dirosakkan oleh mak dia. Poor child....... 

Unfortunately, she’s not the only sick mom yg buat mcm ni, alots of moms do it, for the sake of beauty pageant (mmg manusia yg obsess). This is physical and mental abuse. Kesiannnnnnn kanak2 itu. Sangat kejam, hanya sbb keinginan gila diorg, sggp siksa anak diorg. Lebih baik kalau diorg srh anak2 diorg belajar rajin2 ke, pg extra class ke, swimming lesson ke or apa2 je la yg bermanfaat for future. Kalo dah 8 tahun pakai botox nak cantik, apa lg dia nak buat utk hidup smpai 20 thn? After several years, all the toxins will damage her entire body. Hmmm...mungkin disinilah pengtingnya pengetahuan tentang hak kanak2.

  

It’s true that beauty is pain, but this is not applicable for children! Just let the children be children as they should be. Faham?? 

Seems like the world become more complicated day after day.

One of my favourite ones

A Bag of Tools

Isn't it strange
That princes and kings,
And clowns that caper
In sawdust rings,
And common people
Like you and me
Are builders for eternity?

Each is given a bag of tools,
A shapeless mass,
A book of rules;
And each must make,
Ere life is flown
A stumbling block
Or a stepping-stone.
