BORONG SAKAN..

I just got to know about the yearly raya sale for carbonated drinks under Permanis.. and today I finally have the time to go.. the kilang is in Bangi.. and we hafta go thru a bit of traffic jam from crazy people who's high over Pepsi and 7-Up.. giler ramai orang! Damn.. sorang2 semua beli like there's no tomorrow.. berkarton2 piling up the area.. and people berebut like nak beli loteri.. and sorang2 semua muka tamak over a super cheap super high sugar carbonated drinks.. mmg confirm la ramai lagi warga Malaysia ni nak kena kencing manis from these people who's gonna serve you these drinks for raya..hahahahah..I too bought 3 cartons of the mixture of the drinks.. for my mom, granny and for myself.. let's hope there will be open house organised this year from Niko's house so I can spike the super sweet drinks to the guest.. hahahahahh!

THE BLIND FISH IN THE POND..

This is a story about my fish.. about 20 of them live happily ever after in the beautiful pond at the balcony of my house.. there are a few types of Koi inside the pond, with so many colors.. the big huge one, light yellow in color, couple of dotted ones, some with the long and wavy tails, and the focus is for a special OKU fish that is totally blind.. but still can make a living up until now.. Sometimes it's sad to see how she struggles to fight for food with the more aggressive ones.. kesian dia! but it's my job to make sure that she gets her food no matter what.. as I follow her movement and keeps giving food until she gets her portion..
What really happened, i don't know, but she is one of the survivors of 20 small rejected goldfishes that I bought a year ago.. yg penting now semua dah gemuk2 mcm tuan dia dahh.. hahahah! So I'm just doing my responsibilities.. and will keep doing it as long as she lives.. hang on there buddy.. you will always have my support..

p/s: camne la naa balik raya nak tinggal my pond ni? kena beli anak2 ikan la ni to feed my ikan2 ni.. heheh

THE WILD OWL..

Have you guys ever seen a huge owl? not the zoo owl ok,the wild one..Well.. I was lucky to find one on my way back to Ganu last time, at 1am ok.. nasib baik bulan posa.. kalu tak seram la jugak.. heheheh.. Huge.. huge one!Garang kannn? the face shows it all.. staring at us while we tried to take the photos.. berjaya jugak menangkat gambar disituuu.. yeahhh!!

NISSAN SYLPHY AND TEANA..

A friend wanted to survey for a new car.. and the best place to find showrooms from all types of cars is definitely in Puchong laa.. at first we went to Toyota showroom, only to be greeted by quite a hamsap salesman that treated us as if we have no money to buy.. up yours la bro.. big mistake!!
We later moved to Nissan showroom acroos the highway.. and so happy to be welcomed by a very friendly salesman named Marcus.. and we immediately test-drive Sylphy and the latest in the market, Teana.. damnn! Teana is so awesome rasanya macam orang kaya2 la pulak bawak kereta tu.. hahah..
Sylphy pun not bad at all.. and this is where I dah berangan2 nak tukar to Sylphy pulak after this.. hurmmmm! Sabar bang sabarrr! hahahah.. Teana is sooo a dream car.. and thank god my friend is buying the car.. yahooo! at least boleh la rasa bawak Teana walaupun tak mampu nak beli kannn! heheheh..

BERBUKA @ CARLOS PAVI..

Heard about food @ Carlos for so long but tk pernah ada chance to try it out.. only been there once for drinks, and that's all.. so, on the jalan2 day during posa day plus no way for us to drive out of Bukit Bintang area in this time around.. we decided to try out Carlos for berbuka..What did we order?Gosh.. not as what we all expected.. nothing beats Chillis la at all time.. the nachos had this strong lembu smell and the fried chicken was soggy and not fried enough.. thank god the fried chicken saved the day, so did the feticinni and the cake.. still can't beat chillis.. damnnn!

KUIH BUAH MELAKA AKA ONDE2

I always loveeee this kuih called onde2.. be it at the bazar ramadhan or a stall where they usually sell it in Midvalley, this is one of the most wanted kuih for me as I thought only the best one can make this kuih.. until recently.. I managed to see my mom did it on her own.. sooo simple and quick.. easy to do.. surprise2..
So I did some experiment to make the delicious onde2 by myself.. it's a challenge that I hafta achieve.. and I accepted it.. and the process begins..
The dough, the gula melaka, and kelapa muda.. with hot boiling water..Tadaaaaaaaa.. jadikkk siottt.. I'm so proud of myself.. boleh la aku makan my favourite kuih sesuka hatiku.. yahoooo! jemput makan semua..

RARE BERBUKA PUASA TRADITION..

This is something quite interesting that I got from teganukita blog.. A rare tradition that I'm sure not many knows about it.. it's called 'Menjunjung Lauk' tradition from each house in the kampung to the mosque for berbuka, a Terengganu tradition that's being activated again lately.. it's good that in the modernisation that Ganu is experiencing lately, there is still stuff that they really hold to.. and start practicing again.. interesting stuff that I just gotta know lately.. wish I could be there to experience it myself..
More about the news here

STRESSFUL AND TIRED..

It is indeed the end of the 3rd working week in Ramadhan, and it means that we only have another week to go before a long Raya break.. frankly, I'm in no mood to work anymore.. things have been so stressful this month with the never ending write-up that needs to be finished for submission, plus another half month salary that is still pending.. things have been pretty haywire lately.. I'm just tired, and stressed out.. Goshhhh!
It's been raining non stop tonite, and out of the stress, I decided to go out for a break.. alone! pretty weird since I seldom go out alone.. may be this is a quality time that I need for myself.. alone!! which I ended up having crappy nasi lemak of Oldtown while finishing my Angry Birds games.. ohh I miss my makcik Kerang nasi lemak in Sri Petaling.. tak sabar nak tunggu lepas raya nak makan the nasi lemak again.. One more week to go.. hope next week will be a quick one.. I need a break!!

ZAKAT FITRAH

The preparation for raya is not complete until one pays for zakat fitrah for himself.. or for the family for those who're married.. A bit of procrastinator myself, I usually pay my zakat towards the end of puasa.. and at times right before the raya prayer.. teruk kannn? heheh..Anyway, I was in Alamanda just now and encountered that there's a booth set up in the middle of the food court entrance one surely cannot miss to be reminded about their obligations to pay zakat.. dah takmau lengah2 lagi, so I proceeded to the booth and were asked to pay for how many, and when I said only one, the guy next to me gave 'that' look.. haloooo!! tak pernah tengok orang bujang bayar zakat ke? Am I that old to pay for only for myself.. and why must there be 'that' look?
Th most important thing, aku dah bayar my zakat.. the rest.. dah bayar ke zakat anda? heheheh..

KNOLLWOOD APARTMENT..

I was browsing the net when I saw this photo.. and goshh.. I miss this place..
This is where I used to spend my years in Kalamazoo before.. and the 2 storey apartment on the left used to be where I lived.. Lots of memories there.. puasa during winter time, and berbuka at 4.30pm.. sekodeng orang mandi pool during summer time.. and whole lot of memories carved there.. How I wish I could turn back time and experience back the year tehre.. again! Miss sungguh tempat ni..

THE HOROSCOPE QUOTES

NEVER believe in 3 people : Sagittarius, Aries, Pisces.
They are the most selfish and mean.

NEVER lose 3 people : Taurus, Cancer, Capricorn.
They are the most sincere and true lovers.

NEVER leave 3 people : Virgo, Libra, Scorpio.
They can keep secrets, friendship , and they can see your tears.

NEVER reject 3 people : Leo, Gemini, Aquarius.
They are true, honest friends

So I'm a GEMINI.. what are you then?
heheheheh..

IMRAN AJMAIN SHOWCASE

This is supposed to be an old entry but I only have time to write about it now. I was in Sunway area and about to look around for my dinner when I saw a show in Station One cafe.. So, it was Imran Ajmain's show, a singaporean singer that is quite famous with quite a few numbers of his song.. where a few of it I usually sang at the karaoke.. heheh..Well.. for once, he sang marvelous songs of himself, coupled with quite powerful lullaby voice ladies should fall in love with him.. and definitely, he sang better in person rather than in the album.. I was glued away until the end of the show.. and woww.. he is quite a singer.. good job, dude..great voice! I'm trying to upload some of the songs I managed to record, tapi problem gile nak upload.. nanti I will share soon.. ok..

TRIP TO KUALA KURAU

First weekend of Ramadhan, and this year I'm determined to spend my berbuka with family, this week with my mak tok.. and next week with my parents @ ganu.. Maktok is still not feeling well from her sakit.. so with the support from anak cucu sedikit sebanyak makes her stronger..
alhamdulillah all her anak cucu are so supportive that saban minggu sure ada je org yg balik menjenguk dia time weekend.. For me, other than menjenguk my maktok, I really enjoy the kampung environment.. sungguh mendamaikan..
pokok, sawah padi, kucing manja, ayam katik.. semua ada..and the best things is.. we all gathered for berbuka puasa beramai2.. penuh lauk dua meja.. and that really made my maktok happy.. itu yg pasti..
