Just before Raya

Nothing much had happen from my last post. I enjoyed my last minute raya shopping. Had a nite out with ijan & his wife.. I never done last minute raya shopping, cause i don't really shop for raya.. Could never bother to have a baju raya pon.. We went to Jln TAR, it was past midnite, but the road was badly congested. We enjoyed eating keropok lekor while strolling down the road. Yan bought a few pieces of seledang.. Me? i didn't buy anything.. i joined them just for the fun of it..

I had farewell drinks with the girls the nite before.. Sipping the coffee while enjoying our donuts. Big Apple donuts are sooo gud and super kawaii too..

What Kind of Guy Will I Fall For



What Kind of Guy Will You Fall For?

You would fall part for the geek. If you're looking for love, consider spending a little more time studying up in the library. To you, there's nothing more attractive than intelligence, shyness, and kindness; your future love may have four eyes and zero social skills, but he'll make up for it in brains and heart.
You would fall part for the sensitive guy. You'll find your future man wherever turtlenecks are sold. He will have depth, introspection, and a disturbing knowledge of musical theatre. And he may be a little weird. But hey, while your girlfriends cry over broken hearts, you'll be having Shakespeare read to you every night.

Mr. Kitty @ Smelly Cat

Yesterday before i left house for work, there was a cat stranded at the window sill of my window that facing my entrance door. I was late for work, so i don't bother to get a closer look.. I was thinking that he might be able to find his way down/out of there...

So.. i go to work as usual, then went to Mydin after work and reached home sometime almost 7pm... and..... the cat was still there... God help me... how on earth did you get there Mr. Kitty.. I can't think of any possible way that he could end up at my window sill... there were no flat roof or any platform that he could jump from to get there.. Probably he fell down from upper floor..

I tried to get him out of there but failed. So I decided to buka puasa first then attend to Mr. Kitty later..

Rescue Mission 1
I was trying to reach Mr. Kitty see if i could get hold of any part of his body and pull him into the window - Failed
Complication- I can't open the window too wide or else Mr. Kitty won't have any ground to stand. And my window is grilled; my hands are 'tembam'; so i can't really get hold of Mr. Kitty.. However i managed to get myself a few scratches and bruise.. :D

I took a short break, thinking of any other way to save him... Meanwhile, i went to my kitchen trying to find something to feed Mr. Kitty. He must be hungry staying helplessly in that confine space since morning. Lucky him i have canned Tuna in Oil... Put the Tuna in a small plastic container, and let him eat before i could think of any other way...

Rescue Mission 2

I tried to get him to go into a shoe box (that i forced to get thru the grille). - Failed

Complication-By the time the box was out of the window, dah nak lunyai... lembik giler.. but i still try to persuade (i actually talked to Mr. Kitty) him to get into the box.. And i don't have the confidence that the box can hold Mr. Kitty's load.. So i gave up..

Rescue Mission 3

Using a plastic bag (not the plastic bag from kedai/pasar; more like a 'plastic paper bag') and i put some tuna in it... penat jugak la nak mengumpan dia masuk dlm plastic bag tu.. At last berjaya gak.. heheheheh


So selamat la Mr. Kitty.. Sikit lagi nak panggil bomba.. heheheh.. Before i let him go, bagi makan tuna lagi.. :D..

Lepas mission menyelamatkan Mr. Kitty terus teringat lagu nih:

Exploring The Taste

I luv cooking is not the right phrase for me.. but i enjoyed cooking... But that doesn't mean that i can cook great food tho.. And tak de la rajin masak jugak.. Kena ikut mood..Masak suka2 boley la.. :D, I remembered about 5 years back when i was filling forms to apply for my degree, I asked a fren;


Me : How if aku amek hot-cat instead of taking courses which is related to my dip?

Her: Ko giler ke apa? Klu suka sgt masak, tu dapur mak aku tu ada.. pg la belajar masak ngan dia

Frankly thinking my work experience in the field that i am working, i don't dare to switch to other field pon.. Plus all the financial commitment that i've made, lagi la..Terus terkubur niat aku... hahahhaha... Actually bukan suka masak la kot.. but i enjoyed seeing people sitting together, enjoying the food and having a great chat..


I like to try out recipes.. and creating one.. selalu nye when i cook i just based on what i've tasted. Macam buat experiment kat sekolah... klu this time buat rasa dia ada kurang pape, the next time i will ulter until it suits my taste bud.. Just make do of whatever i have in my kitchen.. It is interesting especially when u try to combine things from 2 sides of the world, and it ends up very delicious... and you'll be satisfied... more than satisfied i must say...


Most of my favourite dishes are very easy to prepare and using simple ingredients.. Kalau yang leceh2 tu mesti malas nak buat... That's why i like Jamie Oliver very much... He makes cooking fun.. It looks soo simple and easy.. :D


i believe to produce a tasty dish, it's not the recipe that matter, but the sincerity, passion and love you put in the process of preparing it.. That's why people say nothing beats mom's cooking. Because mom always prepare food with love and for the people she loves. No matter how simple the dishes are.


Whenever i went outstation, be it for work or leisure, i really wanted to try the local dishes but i guess being a muslim, i can't really explore the food as i wish.. I think everywhere on earth they shud have a halal food restaurant that serves the local dish. Baru la boley rasa food ikut cara the local have it... Ini tak, ada halal food tapi Arab's la... Turkish la... but not the 'country you went to' nyer local dishes.


When i went for a business trip to Senegal last 2 years, we were brought to a france restaurant a few times. And yes, they serve pork and definitely semua pon tak sembelih kalau pon ada ayam n daging.. and by right i can't even eat there sbb all the cutleries pon bercampur, but i don't have a choice.. So i ordered poisson(fish) all the time.. had enuff poisson when i was there.. Eventho Senegal is a muslim country with 95% of the population are muslim, I still have doubts in the food they served..


On our wayn back, our flight transit in Paris and i got a chance to jalan2.. My superior was already too tired because it was a packed schedule from the day we left, so he decided to go to slumberland and leave me to explore Paris by myself. Dengan map and one day pass ticket, i managed to get myself to most of the tourist attraction places and enjoyed the architecture of the city of romance. So dari 7am till midday berjalan, mesti la lapor kan.. :D.. so carik la dlm map halal restaurant, dalam map memang jumpa.. tapi kat atas tanah tak jumpa... dah naik lembik dah berjalan.. Last2 i bought 2 pieces of plain croissant. Maybe aku yg bodo tak reti baca map.. hahahahaha

Okey la, enuff of all the merabanz

Engkau Laksana Bulan

I'm not gonna blog about the song 'Engkau Laksana Bulan'.... but something that i've made that looks just like the surface of the moon.. :D.. I spent my weekend at mom's.. And my normal balik kampung routine is to bring mama to the market..

Since this is the first time this ramadhan i was going to buka puasa @ home, mama insist of making food for berbuka instead of buying at Param. So we decided to make PAU... I love pau... but most of the time beli jer kat petronas...

What we did was ikut jer recipe yg ada kat plastik tepung tu.... Final result.. a disaster... hahahahaha..... buruk giler rupa pau tu... memang macam bulan mengambang... tak gebu langsung... Takde rupa langsung macam pau Yik Mun Tanjung Malim yg sedapppppppppp tu.. Tapi the taste was not sooo bad... :D

To compliment the huduh looking pau, we made soda bandung... hmmmm... sedap nyer.... kat KL ni kalau nak minum soda bandung, kena pegi Chatters Cafe.. tempat lain tak pernah lagi jumpa... Tak pon buat jer sendiri... It is actually very common to Johorian.. Kalau masa dulu2 pegi kenduri kawen kat Johor mesti ada soda bandung, but people nowadays tak buat dah kot sebab costly...
