Everybody Can Cook Semalam aku enjoy movie ni. Sebenarnya aku dah nengok masa di pawagam bersama anak anak aku dulu. Cerita memang best walau pun katon. Jadi sesiapa yang belun nengok cerita ni eloklah beli DVD and enjoy with it. Sekarang aku dah ada banyak compilation og movie dlm HD aku. Dulu bawa DVD tapi sekarang mudah sangat burn masuk soft copy aje. Jadi kami di sini tukar suka sama suka lah and banyaklah koleksi. Aku pun suka juga masak. Aku mula belajar masak masa umur 12 tahun. Masa tu aku tolong ibunda buat butter cake untuk jamuan perpisahan semasa darjah 6. Rupanya mudah aje buat kek bodoh ni. Masa masuk sekolah menengah, aku sekolah petang. Kalau nak tunggu ibunda masak memang lambat sebab ibunda kena basuh kain and kemas rumah dulu. Lepas tu nak tunggu apek jual ikan datang lah. Campur tolak maka lewat lah aku nak makan nasi dengan sempurna. Jadi ibunda hanya masak nasi dan yang sempat hanya goreng telur mata kerbau and kuahkan kicap. Sekali sekala ok jugak tapi kalau da

Menghitung Hari . Hhhmmm..... aku ni dok menghitung hari aje nak balik. Dok congak pi congak mi 3 hari lgi aku akan keluar site and insyaallah hari Sabtu ni ku akan sampai ke Mesia. Rasa dah tak sabo dah. Sekrang dok pikir cam mana nak organise masa aku properly. Sampai aje kat umah, esok tu ada sukan sekolah rendah anak aku. nak kena nengok juga acara yang depa nak tanding. Lusa pulak sukan sekolah menengah. Anak aku si Ubai tu jadi ketua rumah. Acara apa yang dia ambil aku tak pasti. Tapi aku perlu hadir jugak kat sekolah. . The net day nak ke utara hantar mak mertua balik kampung and nak ziarah ibunda kat Gurun. Berapa malam nak stay aku pun tak tahu. Yang pasti aku nak ke Penang juga untuk shopping apa apa yang patut dan ziarah abang sulung aku. On the way balik nak juga ziarah abang aku yang sekarang sibuk menternak burung love birds and budgie. Pas tu nak bawa ibunda untuk shopping mana perlu untuk barang keperluan dia. Mungkin dua malam aku berada di Gurun. Anak anak aku yang ma

Lemons, Limes and Tangerines . Semalam, weekend, satu hari aku bertungkus lumus untuk siapkan my xstitch. Akhirnya niat aku untuk siapkan one/month tercapai juga. Oleh sebab aku nak kejarkan milestone date, aku terpaksa korban kan masa aku untuk bermain pingpong and keluar ke bazar. Anyway aku puas sepuasnya kerana projek aku dah siap. Next aku akan siapkan another one with a picture or design with loads of apples. . Hopefully my new collection of fruit designs, aku boleh siap dan melaram pada hari raya nanti. Orang kata nak buat 'make over' skit dengan product baru. So nampak gaya my previous projek untuk siapkan my pillow case embroidery with bullion stitch tergendala dahulu. Not only that the other thing hajat nak jadi writer masih berlegar di fikiran yang belum berkesampaian. . Sekarang ni memang aku sentiasa buzy and occupied dgn segala macam aktiviti di dalam bilik. I thing, I better organise balik my schedule and stict to it. . Untuk Che Mat (Harap hang baca....heheheh)

A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini I first recognised Khaled Hossein through his book, The Kite Runner. I saw his book on the shelve at the book store but I just dont have a courage to buy. When I was at Feringgi Walk, Penang while searching for my favourite movies ( obviously pirated DVD), I found The Kite Runner which was adopted into a movie. The film was simple but the message and the plot was remarkable. Then I started to admire the story and naration of this author. He was born in Afghanistan and migrated to United States after devastating war at his own country. . A Thousand Splendid Suns is another excellent product by Khaled that everybody must read. Human bond, jealousy, abuse, power struggle and how the war can tear apart the country boisterously . Here is the synopsis. . 'Mariam is only fifteen when she is sent to Kabul to marry Rasheed. Nearly two decades later, a friendship grows between Mariam and a local teeanger, Laila, as strong as the ties between mothe

Sky Lift Masa aku di site pepagi lagi, masa nak buat inspection, aku nampak dua kenderaan skylift ni datang untuk pasang lampu kat building workshop tu. Aku pun ambil lh gambar sebab nampak uniq sangat. Kalau di amati kenderaan ni macam production zaman perang dunia ke dua aje. Nampak bulky semacam. Tapi enjin masih ok tau. Nampak ganas aje. Kalau nak cari kat Mesia memang tak dapat punya. Kalau cari kat kedai keling botoi pun tak akan dapat. Tapi bolehke di kategorikan sebagai 'vintage' truck?

Honey For Safwan Safwan kata, 'Kalau Umi melawat saya nanti, belikan saya honey dan kismis tau dan jagan lupa untuk belikan saya multivitamin.' Anak aku ni bila aku amati memang almost berubah 180 degree. Sekarang aku rasa dia teramat tertib dan berdisiplin. Banyak perubahan yang melanda dirinya setelah bersekolah menengah. memang aku terasa amat bersyukur dengan perubahan pada diri dia. . Masa dia kecik aku rasa dia lah yang teramat siksa untuk aku handle. Berbagai bagai kerenah yang boleh menaikkan darah aku. Namun aku tetap bersabar. Kalau aku nak cerita di sini memang panjang berjela. İtulah orang selalu kata syndrom anak no dua. Selalunya dia akan bersifat bertentangan dengan apa yng aku syorkan. Tapi semuanya sudah berubah sekarang. . So tadi ada member aku nak balik ke Malaysia dan kebetulan dia adalah orang Alor Gajah so sempat aku bekalkan honey dua botol dan sekeping kad untuk di kirimkan kepada anak aku. Aku harap tak membebankan kawan aku ini. Honey tu aku pesan pad

Perjalanan ke Alor Gajah, Melaka Wife aku dah selamat hantar anak aku Safwan ke MRSM Alor Gajah pada 10hb February baru ni. Adik ipar dan mak mertua aku pun ikut sekali. Ubaidullah, Syahadah dan Yusuff pun ikut juga. Shamim, İkhlas dan Hadi sahaja yang tinggal di rumah dan di uruskan oleh makcik Pah. Sebelum tu aku dah siap pesan pada wife aku agar pandu kereta dengan cermat dan buatlah persiapan lebih awal agar tak kelam kabut nanti. . Pagi lagi selepas aku selesai solat subuh dan brekfast aku terus talipon wife aku. Wife aku kata dah nak sampai ke MRSM. kemudian aku talipon lag untuk dapat berita selanjutnya. Wife aku beritahu mereka baru nak register dan lepas tu ada taklimat. Wife aku kata eloklah talipon dalam pukul 2.30 tengahari waktu Malaysia sebab masih ada banyak urusan yang perlu di bereskan. Aku amat faham cuma aku tak dapt bayang kan bagaimana hecticnya wife aku nak manage semua benda ni. mana nak nengok Yusuff lagi yang semakin nakal dan lasak. For sure Yusuff memang tak

Jodi Picoult - Change of Heart . Your daughter needs a new heart. The only match comes from a murderer. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? . I first read the novel by Jodi was 'Perfect Match'. I have seen her books in many shelves at the book stores but nothing triggered me until I went to Boarders. There were collection of books that gave a very special offer that displayed buy 2 get 1 free. After browsing and read the synopsis at the back, I picked three books by Jodi entitled, Perfect Match, Keeping Faith and Salem Falls. What I can summarise about the author was that, she made a remarkable research and detail in every plot and idea. I tend to love the way she wrote. Nevertheless, her plot and trend of writing if I can gather should have involved children, religion, crime or murder and the court case. I think these are four ingredients that cordially narrated in her writing. . I just finished reading Change of Heart. I bought it at the book store, KLIA airport. I started reading it and abs

Bee Movie . . 'Barry B. benson is a graduate bee fresh out of college who is disillusioned at his lone career choice: making money. On a reare trip outside the hive, Barry's life is saved by Vanessa, a florist in New York City. As their relationship blossoms, he discovers humans are mass consumers of honey and decides to sue the human race for stealing bees' honey.' . I put down my xstitch and walked to surau for my isyak namaz. I wished to continue but reluctantly decided to continue with a movie at my movie teater in my small cozy room. I was selecting which one to reherse and finally I picked Bee Movie. I bought it months ago but just don't have the oppurtunity to watch with my children. So I decided to watch it here coz I have plenty of times to manage. . We just cannot live alone in this chaotic planet. We are relying and dependent on each other to make things right to happen. If we need to be loved, we need somebody to hold to. To make this world worth for a l

Ghost Town . 'Bertram Pincus is a man whose people skills leave much to be desired. When Pincus dies unexpectedly, but is miraculously revived after seven minutes, he wakes up to discover that he now has the annoying ability to see ghosts. Even worse, they all want something from him, particularly Frank Herlihy, who pesters him into breaking up the impending marriage of his widow Gwen. That puts Pincus squarely.......... ' . Aku baru habis tonton movie ni tadi. Best....... itu yang dapat aku rumuskan. Ceritanya simple tapi ada mirip cerita Ghost yang di lakonkan oleh Demi Moore. Tapi bezanya cerita Ghost is a love story and di olah dengan financial scandal but this story bit different.

The Bucket List 'Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mschanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life.' . There are two questions arise after watching this movie. 1. Are you really enjoy with your life? 2. Does other people really make your life happy to live? . If people ask me, truly, I also don't have the answers. Life is more like sharing and comprehend each other. It is where and how you lead your life to the path that you desire. You live once and alone and you will die once and alone. But the truly success of life is how we lead our path the way that Allah wants and commands and not the way that we perceived.

Mummy's Little Girl - Jane Elliott 'Abandoned at birth, she is sent to children's home after her foster mother badly beats her. But the home is not all it seems to be, and Dani is forced to run away. Alone and with nowhere to turn, Dani is easy prey to the vultures who feed off the weak and the innocent. Soon she is plunged into unimaginable nightmare of abuse tht she truly believes will never end. But there is one person out there searching for her, one person who has her best interests at heart; one person who will do anything to save her. It's just a matter of whether she can find he in time...' . Yeah, finished reading it last two weeks. Nak kata full of suspence tak juga but worth reading it to fill your free time.

Beli Turkmen Karpet Sebenarnya niat nak beli Turkmen karpet ni dah lama dah. Tapi hajat masih tak kesampaian. Harganya tak lah mahal sangat. Handmade oleh orang orang sini. Dalam blog aku dah cerita tentang turkmen karpet ni. Dia nampak memang exotic dan lain dari yang lain. Since aku dah nak balik cuti so better aku beli carpet yang saiz sejadah tu dua helai. Niat di hati untuk di hadiahkan kepada seseorang. So depa boleh buat sejadah dan dapat juga aku ganjaran pahala selagi mereka pakai untuk sembahyang. Cuma masalahnya bagaimana aku nak bawa balk?? İnilah persoalannya. Walaupun kecil tapi karpet sini susah nak bawa keluar. Aku rasa aku lipat nicely masuk dalam beg kat belah bawah. Lepas tu tawakkal aje lah. Moga moga kastam tak cek beg aku ni. Tapi kalau dia tanya aku pasai kapet ni di airport aku nak kata macam ni.... . Aku akan menjawap sambil usap janggut aku ni yang tak berapa panjang, past aku akan kata......... ' For namaz laila ha illallah..... mullah...' Apa macam

Get A New Jumper I have not been outing for Bazar almost 3 weeks. Today I decided to go to Bazar to do some shopping and get a new jumper. So far I have few choices of them to wear. I have a cardigan that I bought from İstanbul last April. It is like a colour of rainbow with alternate red, yellow, blue, white and brown. It looks striking. Then I got another jumper that I bought when I was at Copenhagen, Denmark in 2005. It is a zipped type to the neck with stripes of gray, black and white and another one gray colour with polyester lining preventing cold wing from sipping through my skin. The one that I really like is the black fit jumper that I bought when I was at Prague, 2006. I bought it from C&A. It will show that I am little bit slender...hehehehe. The other two are from my previous old school day that I bought from UK. The purple I got it from Topman (I bet I have a great memory) but it is too baggy and old fashion, but it still preserve a precious sentimental and nostalgical
Happy Birthday To My Dearest Wife . I was so busy today to sort out things in order. I was thinking to call my wife but I just forgot since I was preoccupied. Never mind I will call her later. I knew that she was busy to sort out things for Safwan. Medical check up, to apply for the bank card, to deposit the money, to buy clothes and many things. Finally İ managed to call her to update me what ever stories or narrations that she wanted to convey. The first word she uttered was, ' Did you remember that today is my birthday?'. My god, I was totally oblivious about the date. I said,'Sorry'. Anyway happy birthday. I dont know what is the best way to express my feeling but through this wonderful lyrics. Thank you for taking care of me and our children and thanks again for understanding deeply my character. Lady Lady, Im your knight in shining armor and I love you You have made me what I am and I am yours My love, theres so many ways I want to say I love you Let
