Assalamualaikum and greetings :)

It's been a long time no? Rindunya menulis di blog ni :') I mean in a proper paragraphs and not emotional short post. Hahaha. Well, things happen sometimes. Anyways, yeah. I've been busy lately. Ye, ni mungkin satu statement yang lame yang selalu anda dengar especially the one that are close to me. Saya busy tak tipu. :'3 The earlier weeks in mmu was hell. There were A LOT of activities. Bersepah gila! Then the following weeks so-so la. Kalau ada busy-o-meter it will be at the yellow area. Now, my mid-sem break officially start bbuuutttt I have to go to Sabah for a program: Sekolah@MMU Sabah II. Tadi tidur petang dah mimpi dah sampai Sabah :) Excited much. I have tons of thing to write especially activities during the previous sem break. Tapi tak sempat... Sedihnya kalau nak tulis balik dah tak ingat dah, ingat tajuk je. It's so sad when I cannot write in details, deliberate it. Huuu... : '\

So, here's a summary of what happen (some of it) : I made cookies for the first time. Not very nice and it was burnt. You can see smoke. Mama said it wasn't that bad and Abah ate most of it. 0.o Hungry or just want to make me feel better..? Hahaha... Okay, that's about it for my 'biskut hitam'. Hopefully I can make some more and pray to Allah that it will not burn. Hahaha. Oh yeah... And me and my sibs take the 'adventure or concern in the nature of trade' .... TEEEETTTT.. Apesal masuk ayat taxation pulak kat sini... haha. Waktu exam tak nak ingat... ok back to the story. We took the train all the way to Suria KLCC. Nak pegi Kinokuniya, the book store tu. Boleh pulak dalam banyak2 hari in this year, haritu jugelah yang dia nak tutup. 29/05/2012. Woah! Ingat. Hee :) Mungkin dia punya account close on 30th of May so yeah... accounting stuff. Kesian Liana because she's the one nak pegi sana :( Anyway, we window shopped like usual aaannnddd... went to Petrosains. Lawatan sambil belajar. Walaupun penat kami semua tetap bergembira <- ayat sekolah rendah..haha :D. Ok whatelse... okay, I finish reading a book: Mountain Between Us. One word: Superb. I really feel like I'm walking inches deep in snow, really slows down your movement. And the ending is so surprising and how do I described it...it is more than sad, you feel it really deep in your heart, touching I would say and  I literally cried. That's about it I think... Others if I happened to remember I will find my time to share it yea.

Tonight, tarawih has started which means Ramadan al-Mubarak is here~!!! :) Alhamdulillah I have the chance to meet Ramadan again and may Allah give me chance to celebrate Ramadan till the end of the month. I cannot fast for these early days because .... hence that explain why I'm here and not at the masjid :( But never mind. The good thing is I get the last 10 days insyaAllah :) Rasa terkilan juga sebenarnya sebab tak rasa sepenuhnya kedatangan Ramadan ni. Tak fully prepared lagi physically and mentally. Sibuk sangat. Rasa bersalah sangat sebab alasannya sibuk, sibuk urusan dunia... Hmmm... I don't do much for the month of Rejab and Sya'ban so yeah lagi lagi la rasa macam wasted. Hopefully Ramadan ni I will spend more time doing ibadah, jadikan urusan dunia urusan ibadah juga. Pahala berlipat-lipat kali ganda, syaitan pun takde nak ganggu ye tak..? Yang jadi penghalang dan cabarannya habit dan nafsu aje la. So let's make this Ramadan a start for good habits and starting for istiqamah for ibadah. InsyaAllah and amin to that.

Last but not least:

Happy Ramadan al-Mubarak. Let us benefit from it. Let's enjoy what we have done in this month and not regret for what we have missed.

Regards,
Farhana <3

New thing

Satu-satunya rancangan yang saya suka yang melibatkan artis ialah Master Chef Selebriti sebab diorang buat aktiviti yang lain dari bidang diorang (kalau masak kat rumah tu lain cerita la, I mean on tv). The show is bearable la. I mean I don't change the channel the second I watch it. I'm actually looking forward for it.

^.^V

Kuey Teow stick together

Assalamualaikum and greetings everyone :)

So the title above is the name that I bestowed upon the food that I cooked today. Yes people, I, me do the cooking just now. As you guessed it, I cooked some kuey teow (actually 2 packets of it). It wasn't all great. Because it stuck together and somehow 'hancur'. It's not a very good thing to stir the kuey teow all the time and api tak boleh kuat sangat. Okay, my bad. I don't know. But now I know. And 'udang kering' isn't that great to put in there. Ke saya yang tak reti rasa..? I got a whole lot of good stuffs with me just now: udang and kerang. Sometime thing doesn't appear the way we want it to be. That is what I learn in cooking. My mom said that it taste good but it was sticky. Gee, thanks. "Cita-cita tu ada tapi tak jadi seperti apa yang digambarkan." That was the exact words she said. Hahaha... Been there, done that. Anyhow, it leads me to a new discovery. Next time I'll cook the kuey teow so good even your grandchildren can get the taste of it! Hah! (who am I against here?).  

I don't eat the kuey teow much. It was depressing because it didn't turn out the way I want it to be. And maybe because dah kenyang minum Milo ice blended. That is one thing I good at; making drinks :) Yeah, by the way, I was fasting today. So that's why I don't eat much....? Hahaha. Eh tapi betul. Mama cakap when you cook it takes sometime for you to feel hungry after you cook. Maybe sebab penat or kenyang bau asap kot. Hahahah. Kejap lagi kot makan balik. And maybe I am sad as well that's why I don't eat much. Me being typical me: always sad over a small thing. No worries my dear, we going to fix this kuey teow stick together. Turn it into something that does not stick and can be swallowed. LoL. Anyways, it is fun in the kitchen when you get to 'throw' all the bowls and plates into the sink. After you chop something and then you slide the chopping board and the knife into the sink. Such a nice feeling :) I don't have problem washing them all. Been doing that all my life. My sister will clean the table and I'll wash the dishes. And sing. One of the things that makes me happy... Hee XD. Other than that you also get the ransack the freezer/refrigerator (whichever) to find the ingredients that is needed. If its not the thing that you want you just throw it to the back. So fun XD. (do excuse my somewhere-wrecked-mind). But I must do that when my mom is not around. Hoho

So yeah people. That's all for today. Need to go now to reheat the kuey teow. Judge no.2 want to have a taste of it (abah). Toodles.

p/s: kuey teow <--- is this the correct spelling?

Something that I did during my stress time (off topic)

And, today's special:

Love,

Budding chef

waking up on the right side of the bed

Just love my hair when I woke up, in my WWE-oversize sweater that keep me warm against the coldness, on the bed, at home and feel like I am the most beautiful girl in the world. 

SO, TODAY IS MY DAY

Just lazying around today. Not doing any of my assignments (I know I'm going to regret it later). Exercising my fingers by pressing the buttons on TV remote control and not need to worry about my dirty and smelly clothes because there is THE washing machine that can take care of it. I was not having my bath until it was 1 pm. Hee~ And before that I mix and match my new and old clothes, try it on and again feeling beautiful. :D. In the evening, I have a couple of photo shoot with my Tobby. Comel. Rasa macam waktu form 2. Suka buat muka cute pastu amik gambar sendiri and then letak kat MySpace... HoHoHo.. old days. Pastu tido sekejap. Then bangun update blog sambil study... BAC 1634 is killiing me~ Lagi teruk lagi, I am clueless about the assignment and due date jumaat next week. So how???  I'll sort that out..okie? Okay Farhana you'll sort that out. Kejap lagi nak tolong mama masak tapi.... hehehehe.. tengok la dulu kalau perasaan nak tolong tu masih ada lagi.

Yeah, semalam dinner kat makbul business center. And then mama ungkit pasal me not reluctant to pay for my new clothes tapi bila nak beli financial calculator cakap mahal la, apa la... So my mom paid for the financial calculator and I wanted to pay her back using duit yang my dad bagi but dia yang tak nak. So, I cakap la.. mama yang tak nak~ . Then my mom cakap la.. takpe simpan la duit tu bagi duit bila mama abah dah tua nanti. Then I balas balik (waah~ balas gitu..haha) Ala bila dah tua nanti, mesti mama abah cakap tak nak duit, nak perhatian anak-anak. Abah cakap tak kisah pun anak-anak.. Janji duit masuk... HAHAHHA.. never expect that. They both said korang nak buat apa, pi mana buat la janji hantar duit ke, tiket kapal terbang nak pergi cuti ke, kereta sebuah ke..lolz. We all adik beradik sume macam 'ok record2.. mama abah cakap ni.' hahha.. Don't know if they really mean it but I pray to Allah that I can still make time for them bila dah besar (skrg tak besar ke?) dah bekerja and bila dah ada family nanti. Amin~ Semoga saya tak jadi anak durhaka. 

So that's about it. Got to type-off now. Soyonara, anneyong, ciao, farewell, assalamualaikum and jumpa lagi.

Masak - masak

Orang perempuan mestilah kena pandai masak. Nanti nak masak untuk suami, anak-anak lagi, mak mertua. Barulah nampak macam suri rumah yang bagus etc.etc

Nnyeehhhh, typical.

Girl, you have to know how to cook. People will see you as a knowledgeable person. They'll say 'Hey, this girl knows how to cook, she has an extra point'.

Advice from a friend. This is more like it yaw! Brilliant! :) 

So you see my perception towards cooking has changed. Now I think cooking is cool but eating is something still so hard to do (typical me). So lepas ni banyak akan ada la banyak post pasal masak2, food, recipes etcetc that you will see. And let me introduce you a new tag for that : dapur senget periuk kemek.  

Love,
Kitchen helper
