homemade beefsteak

unbelievably true story... 

so i did it yesterday!! thank you so much to my darling Blossom danau kaseh for inspiring me and sharing the recipe. i had fun trying.. well the gravy that i made yesterday didn't turn out to be 'the award winning gravy' to my other half. so  the next time i do it, i need to do some adjustments here and there. :)

but puas hati gila when the plates are all cleared after dinner. sighhh, pure satisfaction...

last weekend

hoi hai.. last weekend we brought our kids to kl. saje lepak2 sebab dah lama tak keluar from melaka. kids dah bosan asik dok rumah masa weekend. so kitorang gi lepak area damansara. best ada ikea. nak ke mana2 pun senang tak pyh drive sebab kat bawah2 hotel tu ada macam2.

view from our hotel room. biasanya we all dpt bilik yg nampak view ikea.
tak best sgt view from this room sbb nampak bumbung je banyak.


in the room the kids main psp & ipad sementara nak tunggu mama & papa siap


nyum nyum.. best rupa2nya tutti frutti. self service frozen yogurt shop..
the kids excited gila sbb boleh tuang sendiri their yogurt


tengok lah dak haziq dan aksi2 terlampau nya itu!! mat over sungguh...


bye2 fun weekend in kl. time to go back home...

al-fatihah

ya Allah, kau cucuri lah rahmatmu ke atas roh ibu mertuaku, patimah binti mohd sah. ampunkan lah segala dosa dosanya. tempatkan lah dia di kalangan orang orang yang beriman. lepaskan lah dia dari seksa kubur. berikan lah dia kebahagiaan dan ketenangan dari mula alam barzakhnya sehingga ke akhirat kelak. amin.

"bertenang lah di sana, mak. kami semua redha dengan ketentuan Allah yang lebih sayangkan mak. ampunkan lah kami sekiranya ada tersalah laku dan kata yang telah menyinggung perasaan mak.
semoga kita berjumpa semula di akhirat nanti. we miss you..."

satu april

hari ni mak & apak celebrate anniversary yang ke 49. walaupun tempat sambutan diorang tak begitu romantik tahun ni, diorang tetap together dalam keadaan susah senang sakit pening. aku wujud dalam hidup mak apak 16 tahun lepas diorang kahwin. selama 33 tahun aku hidup dalam dunia ni, mak apak sentiasa sediakan segalanya yang terbaik untuk aku. makan, minum, pelajaran dan kasih sayang. mak apak tak pernah pilih kasih atau ada unsur2 favouritism dalam membesarkan aku & adik beradik aku semua. diorang memang sentiasa adil & saksama. terima kasih mak & apak yang sangat2 aku sayang atas segala jasa & kasih sayang yang mak & apak berikan dalam mendidik & membesarkan aku. i love you both deeply & there's no one in this world that can ever replace you both.

hari ini

hi blog.

hari ini, 19 october 2010.

hari ini, aku rasa sedih sangat. kakak aku emilda a.k.a. buttercup (BC) akan berangkat untuk mengerjakan haji. aku sgt2 close dgn kakak2ku yang kat melaka ni, BC and BO (adillah a.k.a. blossom). selain drp kekasih ku ZZ, diorang berdua ni lah tempat aku mengadu nasib suka duka ku, tempat aku minta pendapat & nasihat, teman2 utk aku release tension, teman2 bergossip sambil menternak lemak & diorang lah teman2 PPGs aku.

hari ini, BC nak pergi utk 44 hari tinggalkan aku, BO, office & family utk pergi beribadat, pergi menyahut panggilan & jemputan Allah. aku berdoa semoga selamat perjalanan pergi-balik nya, mudah segala urusan haji nya, bertenang & happy dia & husband nya kat sana nanti..

i'm gonna miss you my dear sister..

MR3

hi blog.. last week aku & adik beradikku di nordin group prezenkan apak new lamps untuk MR3 nya. excited gila apak aku dapat lampu baru. mana taknya, lampu existing dia tu dah boleh dikatakan katarak tahap kronik. akhirnya, MR3 diberikan satu nafas yang baru...

blog yang diabaikan..

assalamualaikum..
satu ucapan yang sangat sesuai sekali diucapkan kpd blog aku yang dah lama dibiarkan sunyi sepi kesorangan ini. banyak benda yang telah berlaku sejak kali terakhir aku bercerita. banyak yang tak dapat aku nak recall balik satu persatu.

sebagai salam permulaan kepada kehidupan baru blog aku ni, aku nak introduce sorang pahlawan baru yang muncul dalam hidup aku, zizi dan family aku... zarif

dialah edisi aku dan zizi yang terkini. tambah lagi sorang bodyguard aku. kehadiran zarif menambahkan lagi kebahagiaan & keceriaan kami sekeluarga. lagi 3 hari zarif nak masuk 3 bulan. rasa macam baru je semalam aku diusung masuk ke operation room. yep... zarif memberikan aku satu pengalaman baru yang amat luarbiasa sekali.. yang aku sangkakan senang & sekelip mata.. memang pun senang & sekelip mata, tapi kemudiannya... padan muka aku sendiri yang mencari penyakit. well, semuanya dah berlalu & kesakitan yang aku tanggung pun adalah atas pilihan aku sendiri. now i'm back to normal.. syukur lah semuanya dah berlalu.

dari 2 sekarang dah pun 3. mukhriz & haziq dah jadi bang long & bang ngah. zarif completes our little happy family..
welcome to the family my little dimples..

life has been miserable!!

it's been so long since i last throw some words in my blog. a lot of things happened the past few weeks. good things, bad things, happy news, bad news... the colors of life.

we celebrated zizi's bday last month 30/7/2009. i gave him a surprise bday present, a racing car seat to pair his existing seat, he liked it so much. besides a surprise for him, i got a wonderful surprise for myself and the family too! we are having a new member in the clan soon!! (^_^)
what a wonderful surprise..
well, that explains all the laziness and my scrabbled-mood for the past few weeks.
now i have a good reason to get fat! woohoo...

that's the good part. now the bad part, the whole family have been sick. fever, flu, cough, sore throat! and the worst thing that happened was both my children, mukhriz & haziq had to be admitted at pantai hospital. mukhriz : confirmed Influenza A positive!! haziq : negative but advised to be treated. haziq's case went worse because his chest x-ray result showed that his lungs has fluids (due to bad asthma) & the doctor said that haziq needs extra attention and treatment to make sure that he won't get pneumonia! God knows how i felt that time.
i became brave like a warrior although inside i felt so scared,
i became strong although inside i felt so weak,
i became energetic although inside i felt so so tired.
i had to fight all negative feelings for the sake of my 2 boys.

thank Allah for giving me and zizi strength and not giving us unbearable sickness, so we could take care of our children at the hospital every second, every minute, everyday for 5 days. my children are now healthy and happy again & they are really happy to be back at home.

"syukur alhamdulillah, ujian yang Allah berikan dapat aku tempuh dengan kesabaran. aku redha segala apa yang berlaku & bersyukur semuanya berakhir dengan kebaikan..."

my niece's birthday bash

pretty princess...

she's mimi, one of my 12 nieces. mimi's my sister, buttercup's youngest daughter.

we celebrated mimi's birthday yesterday at mahkota parade's mcD. it was a small party but all mimi's cousins in melaka were there to celebrate her b'day. the kids had loads of fun eating, playing and laughing.. unfortunately, my other sister, blossom had to miss the party bcoz she was too exhausted after organizing st.david's carnival on saturday, but her kids made it to the party. after the party, buttercup brought us all to GSC to watch transformers!! tq for the wonderful treat, buttercup..

happy 4th birthday mimi...

life...

i had a wonderful childhood, being brought up in a wonderful house (sri tanjong) by the seaside.

at the backyard of sri tanjong, there's a huge 'pokok asam' that supplied us asam jawa ever since we stayed there.

talking about this pokok asam, when i was a little girl, when the world gets dark at nite, i would always be so afraid to look at the back yard because i imagined there's a langsuir or pontianak sitting on the tree branch, maybe looking at me... scary!! my parents didn't fix any spotlights back then, so it was so dark and spooky, especially during windy season... the wind that hits the glass sliding door makes some kinda scary humming sound! woooooo... wooooooo..... something like that lah...

i have a big family consists of 8 siblings (7 girls and 1 spoilt brat - jgn marah andy... nanti kena jual kat pajak gantung). my dad is a super lawyer dad, tan sri datuk wira a. nordin. we call him 'apak'. very angry and grumpy looking bugis blood face, but very kind and caring father.

my mom... she bakes, cooks, sews, drives, do gardenings, joins women institutions, etc etc etc... she's a wonder women! i wonder where she stores all those energy! she's always on the run. that's why my mom, puan sri datin wira halijah aji won the Ibu Mithali award last month.. we call her 'mak'. my siblings... all girls are taken, only my lil brother is available and open for dates. anyone interested? handsome jugak dia tu.. boleh tahan macho jugak la.

nope, this was not my wedding day. it was my lil sister, jerd's wedding.. she's now a mother of one cute baby adrian...

now i no longer stay at sri tanjong. i've built my own little happy family and moved to my own little wonderful home. i have 2 adorable kids that i always look forward to go home to everyday after work..

my first born baby is mukhriz, now he's 7. mukhriz is a very gentle boy. he listens to what i tell him to do or to don't do. he likes to play psp (all boys hobby rite?? ok lah tu, it's cyber century what??)

my 2nd baby is haziq, now he's 4. he's the opposite of mukhriz. he's talkative, friendly, rough, cheeky & prone to accidents!! he loves chocolates, any kind of chocolate based food. that explains his rotten teeth, huh??

mama loves you, mukhriz & haziq!

that's a lil bit about my life, and it's a never ending story.

to be continued....
