Satu cerita, seribu makna

Keke...mesti kamu pikir jiwang karat yang ku buat ne. Well, nda plang. I just wanna tell u that there was one time dulu2, ada this one guy yang kana kenen2kan dengan aku. We met masa raya pertama and after a few meetings, he told me that he likes me. He is a good guy, like, the one that you want to be with. Tapi sayangnya my heart belongs to someone else. Atu cerita lama, then, 2 years after, ia datang beraya ke rumah. This time he brought along his family. Unfortunately, I was not there pasal beraya dengan Bie. I'm ok with it and he's ok with it jua. Pasal cerita atu andang batah dah terkubur. Tapi...yang nda ok DUA orang. First, of course, Bie. Ia garamati pasal that guy atu pulang dulu datang beraya dari ia. Atu kan dulu ia lah orang yang paling mental berabis bila ku cerita sal that guy dapannya. wawawa...guess, who's the other one? My lil bro, Azim!! Ahaha...ia panic pulang wa!! Katanya arah mama, kalau Bie datang jua malam atu and betamu dengan that guy, cana tu ah? Bekelaie kali durang. Balik2 ia membagitau mama. Hahaha...macam ia tia pulang becinta ane. Aku cool ja. Ia bah, panik nda tantu pasal. But, that's over now. What's past is past and I did sms the guy apologized pasal nada malam atu. Hey, he's still my friend. Tapi awal2 atu tym durang mama membagitau sal ia datang, my first thought was, bahapa ia datang ah? sama familynya lagi tu. jangan..jangan...kan merisik??!! oh, no!!! tapi dah ku warning awal2 arah durang mama yang aku nda mau menerima any pinangan orang selain dari Bie. wakaka...macam cerita melayu dulu2 la pulak. Masih ja ku nda percaya, but it happened. Arahku lagi tu! Cubatah arah urang lain. Arah kucingku ka, amah babuku ka.

Raya at Sabah

Wushooo!! first time raya di Sabah, it was soooo meriah!! tiap malam belatupan badil, urang beraya sampai kul 12 pun ada. well, not big difference dengan apa yang ada di brunei. Tapi one thing i noticed, everytime beraya ke rumah2, there will always be lemang, ketupat dan kuah kacang. Buntu parut nyamu makan saja! huhu...and my nini punya sister buat open house. we thought macam yang biasa2 tane buat. Rupanya extravaganza dibuatnya. Jemputannya 1000 orang, kem2 basar lagi. Dah atu buffet nya macam2. Ada nasi ayam, soto, mee, sate...pokoknya macam2 ada la. Maklum...menantu pegawai daerah. Wawawa...nanti ku upload the pics. Sekali ada urang atu, ia rindu berabis sampai ia sanggup bejalan ke rumah kawannya tangah2 malam sekadar kan meminjam telipun utk call aku. ahakz...terharunya~ After beraya, sampat lagi kami bejaur ke KK.

Selamat tinggal Ramadhan, Selamat datang Syawal...

Assalamualaikum all!

Wow, in a few days nda lagi batah Ramadhan akan meninggalkan kita dan kita akan meraikan kedatangan Syawal. Well, frankly speaking, it's a bit sad for me to leave Ramadhan pasal I haven't done much to make good use of this holy month. Tapi, I like it when the first day of Hari Raya comes. It's when we kneel down and salam parents early in the morning right after sembahyang sunat Hari raya asking for forgiveness and all. Kalau di flashback raya dulu dan raya sekarang, the mind totally changes along with time. Masa kanak2 dulu, i was so extremely excited kan beraya pasal dapat duit angpow! if dulu, boleh di kira2 duit angpow diri ane sampai $50! biasalah, rajin beraya ke rumah2 urang. But now, trend kanak2 beraya ke rumah2 jarang lagi diliat. Don't know why. When I was in 16 or 17, raya is the time for me to tayangkan baju raya baru and still hoping for angpow. haha...As time changes, mind also changes. Raya becomes more meaningful. At this age (24 years old), I can't wait to see my relatives, bersalam-salaman, greetings and asking forgiveness and having fun during raya. I don't know what it's gonna be like when I was 30s, 40s or even 60s.

Tapi paling penting, right now, enjoy every moments you have with your loved ones. Who knows what might happen in the future. And anyway, lads:

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI
MAAF ZAHIR DAN BATIN

Me on YearbookYourself

This site is fun and so cute! Pasalnya it can make ur pic in 1950s look or even 2000 chic look. tapi sayangnya it will be in western style so if you're gonna make it look like 1950s Asian look, forget about it. Just surf at www.yearbookyourself.com and try it out yourself! (^_^)

M&Ms peanut butter cookies and Pistachio peanut butter cookies

Last sunday, I went to Ka Norlein's house and we all (the ladies!) baked these two incredibly yummy peanut butter cookies: M&Ms and Pistachio. Nyaman giler! We baked dari pukul 10+ till 2pm (I left early because kan ngajar my bro for PMR) and we managed to make hundreds of cookies! wow! The taste was sooooo good and I even ate it (after sungkai) a lot! Many thanks to ka norlein for the recipe and helping out. *wink*

Sungkai out at Nyonya

Last Saturday, durang Nanang menyerang bandar and kidnap aku, c ajar and Bai ke Nyonya Yayasan (buffet is $8.90). We all sungkai disana and believe me it was sooooo beautiful! The scenery was pretty (try watch the SOAS mosque during maghrib time), the weather was just fine and the food was nice! We talked a lot, laughed a lot, ate a lot (quote dari Nisa) and that was the first time I heard the sungkai baduk was in the form of badil melatup. haha...After that, we went to Vincci and bought some shoes and then off we went to The Mall kan liat2 MORE shoes. haha...Sekalinya c Nanang membali beg di Domani yang original price was $300++ but got a special discount. Suping sakan bah durang ane. Keke...

Kueh Mor Hostel

After we bake Chocolate cake, the next day we bake kueh mor lagi. Rasanya mood raya tahun ane meluap2 dan berkobar2 di dada dan utak kami. kekeke...sambil mengulung2 kueh mor, kami pasang lagu raya. haha...saja ambil 'feel' raya.

Kek Coklat Moist

I made this cake with Qlah aritu and it works! Plus nyaman brabis ane wa sampai aku membuat lagi sekali on sat night untuk kan ku bawa balik ke rumah.
