Keroz Nazri - Suatu Hari Nanti

Lately, I just love to hear this song.. I donno who this chap is.. but this song surely makes me so relax sampai tertidooo.. the voice is so pleasant to the ears.. and the song surely sedap didengar for tido time.. ulang2 sampai tertido.. hahah.. so.. enjoy!



Checkout the lyrics too.. I think its just beautiful..

Suatu Hari Nanti -Keroz Nazri
Tersentuh hatiku bila terfikirkan kamu
Kau sering bersandar padaku
Di saat kau lelah

Ingatkah dirimu pada waktu-waktu dulu
Aku sering menyambutmu
Di saat kau jatuh

Akulah aku...
Yang slalu membuat kau tersenyum
Walaupun sering ku terluka
Tapi tak mengapa

Akulah aku...
Kan slalu hadir untukmu
Moga nanti suatu hari
Kau akan sedari...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME...

Another round of potluck gathering with the gang.. and at the same time, they bought me a cake to celebrate my birthday.. hehehe! Thanks guys.. really appreciate it.. Anyway.. siap ada nama Anuar Zain tu yg tak tahan tuuu... hahhahahah! mampus AZ saman guna nama dia..

Now that I'm a year older, and hopefully a year wiser, I really need to revisit and restrategize balik the priorities in life.. kawin pun belum.. settle down betul2 pun kira belum lagi..

terlampau byk lg needs and plans in hand to fulfill with, nak dekatkan diri lg dgn Allah and try to fill myself in as a good human being and a good muslim... dah jauh perjalanan nii.. tapi masih serba kekurangan.. insyallah sedikit demi sedikit nak upgrade jadi yang labih baik dari dulu.. dan lebih matang suitable dgn my age..
Readers.. doakan for me ye.. terima kasihhhhhh...

THE CRAVE FOR PAVLOVA

I heard about this pavlova thingy for quite a while already.. especially among ladies, this pavlova has been a talk around town lately.. but not until last nite that I watched 'The Kitchen Rules' on 702, I just got to know that there's been disputes on the claim over the origin of pavlova between Australia and New Zealand.. much like the claim over sate between Msia and Indon.. and that is where it stucked me that I must try this thingy.. heheh

Went to Midvalley to check the cafe that serves pavlova.. and only one cafe have it, Delicious cafe.. apa lagi.. order satu and share je la.. not that woww sgt laa.. looks very tempting.. but bila makan.. it's not as good as it looks.. well.. at least I know how it tastes.. kurengggg!

THE YUMMY SOTONG GORENG TEPUNG..

Masih lagi about sotong.. heheh.. this time we went to Seberang Takir.. Pantai Teluk Ketapang to be exact to get ourselves semua benda yang goreng tepung.. sotong especially.. yehaaa!

We took the 4 ikan kembong, 3 plates of sotong and a plate of udang.. with the mee and sausage for the kids.. yummy2.. walaupun tak dapat banyak sotong time mencandat.. tapi still nak kena pekena the sotong goreng tepung here.. tak ingat nama kedai dia.. but all in all.. quite cheap laa.. semua cuma 40 bucks je dengan ayaq..

nampak gayanya every trip back to ganu memang akan buntal bila balik kl.. dah la everyday makan nasi dagang for breakfast.. plus melantak macam gila lagi here and there..  buntal.. memang buntall... adoiii!

CANDAT SOTONG @ GANU

Another activity managed by the club.. and this time nak pegi mencandat sotong in Ganu.. We all gathered kat LKIM Cendering.. all 13 of us.. and after the photo session and all.. bertolak la ke tengah laut nak candat sotong.. the boat is quite big to accomodate 15 of us.. and the candat place is about an hour away from the port..

Sampai2 je kat tengah laut.. dah ramai yang flat  pasal mabuk laut.. with the ombak quite besar jugak made the boat goyang tahap gaban punya.. semua orang kena telan ubat mabuk laut.. and apparently not all tahan.. and by dawn.. about 6 of us dah tergolek tido depan boat.. hahahha

Candat sotong seems to be quite hard shit jugak.. I only managed to get only satu saja sotong.. yang colour merah tu... hahahah! and the rest ada la sorang sikit.. only dalam 20 ekor je yg dapat.. by dinner time.. more people tergolek dork.. and at last tinggal the 2 last men standing.. all including me dah tergolek mabuk laut.. giler lahhh..
By 2am.. we all decided to go back as dah tk ada sotong yg dpt pun.. and all 11 of us dah tergolek.. and managed to reach the port by 3am.. nasib baik awal since it started raining heavily by 5am.. kalu tak mmg habis la kena pukul ribut our boat..
Being in the middle of the sea at night dengan gelap kelilingnya.. mmg eery giler.. but the experience gained from there... priceless!

FILING TO THE E...

It's almost the closing time nak hantar e-filing to LHDN.. and I still tak buat lagi.. alamakkk! I'm supposed to go to any of the LHDN's branch terus je buat e-filing kat sana like what I did the previous years.. tapi kali ni mmg tak sempat..

so terpaksa la redah buat jugak online with a very slow response from LHDN's page.. macam siput.. adoihaiii.. rasanya this year it's gonna be a bomb for me nak pay the cukai kot.. mengeluh lagi la niii.. LHDN awat nampaknya dok cari org2 makan gaji je ni nak kutip cukai? pi la cari sama mamak2, org2 bernega tepi jln semua tu kutip cukai jgk? heheheh... mood swing dah ni... Manakah semua resit2 ku? cari cepattt...

BLOGGER'S NEW ADMIN PAGE?

Donno whether bloggers perasan ke tak... just recently the admin page for bloggers dah tukar.. 360 degree turning sampai i don't know which button is which already.. the outlook tukar, siap ada chart bagai lagi.. dah la mana nak tekan new post.. mana list of post..

gila betul tak warning awal2.. tiba2 je terus tukar page and expect everyone to know how to use it.. bengong laaa...maybe I don't update that much tu yg bila tiba2 tukar terus buta huruf terkial2 nak click mana bagai.. donno about the rest.. but I personally think that the old layout lagi best la.. lagi user friendly kan kan kannn..
A classic sample of poeple who resists change.. and I'm doing Change Management stuff... hahahah.. so much of quote I always tell people "CHANGE IS CONSTANT, CHANGE IS INEVITABLE"... hahahah!

COUNTDOWN TO FAMILY DAY..

TINGGAL LAGI 2 HARI..

AND I'M OFF TO SINGAPORE FOR OUR FAMILY DAY...

UNIVERSAL STUDIO... HERE I COME..... YAHOOOOOO!

THE STINGY ONE...!!

A meeting with a good old frined.. and lots of updates and stories came out while we had our soup moments under the hot sun.. campur pulak dengan the slow breezy wind that passed by us under the zink stall, the bursting stories were as hot as the hot breezy afternoon in Kajang Bangi area.. hehehe!
So, banyak la jugak topics that came out was how stingy a person canbe.. and based on the stories that I heard from them.. believe me.. you can't even think that those kind of stingy species still appear on earth.. heheh..
Especially this one.. a very well-doing family who owns everything.. but I almost can't believe how stingy they are, considering lots and lots of money they have..  Here goes:
- This person has been using some of the clothes that aged more than 20 years, and still in good condition; Save! Don't hafta buy new clothes, katanya..
- This person had her daughter to use the scholl uniform until tight, and that school uniform aged already more than a year; Save! kalo org susah paham laaa.. aiyooo! so the daughter is a victim..
- This person just roll-up small amount of lip gloss to apply to the lips; Save! tak boleh bukak banyak2.. Takut habis katanya..
- This person fries ONLY two middle size Ikan Kembung to be shared with 6 people for lunch; Crazy! Even medium families pun goreng banyak jugak ikan goreng for lunch..
- This person, cooked only 2 eggs, fried thin, and cut into 8 portions.. so one person can only take one; Mereng! I can have that only to myself.. haha!
Pelik how some orang kaya punya style la.. pasai tu depa kaya la kot.. hahahha

SONG - DI PERSIMPANGAN KENANGAN BY CASEY

Once upon a time, about a decade ago.. this was the song that I've been singing my heart out, in the shower, on the way to my class etc during my earlier months of my study years.. This song has brought such great memories to me, as this song really reminds me of a dear friend and a housemate, Ghaz, who died from a car crash during my study years in USA.. He was the one who owned a copy of Casey's CD that I've been listening over and over again there.. He was a big fan of Casey, and I learnt to like the song from him.. Hear it out on Imeem! Well, I think this is such a beautiful song, and this Casey guy sang the song marvelously.. Sentimental.. or jiwang, some may say? Well.. I'm sentimental and I admit that.. and this is one memorable song I treasured so much.. It kinda brought me back to the time 13 years ago.. where it snowed so heavily outside the house, and it's so cold even under my sleeping bag, and the struggle to adapt to the new environment and cope with studies during the first year there.. and this one song in particular can bring me back to those memories.. such a wonderful one at time, and a sad one when we lost our dear friend, Ghaz, and Ita.. Hope both of them rest in peace and always within god's care..

NASI KANDAR BERATUR...

The journey up north was smooth sailing.. after a short stop kat Kuala Kangsar for my officemate's wedding, shoot straight ke Penang.. hajat nak visit my maktok in Perak but she went out with my uncle.. so apa lagi.. terus merempit ke penang laaa..

My aunt plak ajak pi dinner kat Nasi Kandar Beratur.. so drive la dalam traffic jam till sampai ke destinasi.. mak aiiihhh! panjangnya orang dah beraturrr... the place opened at 10pm.. but the queue was so longg even depa tak bukak lagi.. gila laaa queue for more than half an hour just to get a plate of rice tengah2 malam buta ni..

Lots of selection la nak pilih, but I think not worth the queue la for the dish yang lebih kurang sama dgn tempat lain which kita tak payah beratur pun.. Recommended for those yang sabar nak menunggu nak beratur.. but I think pi mamak lain nak makan nasik kandaq kat penang pun lebih kurang sama jeee.. your choice.. hehehheeh!

THE DEAD BATTERY

Bengong betoi la.. baru nak pegi cabut to the north for my friend's kenduri, battery keta pulak dah kong tak boleh nak start.. siot betoi laaaa.. dah tengah budget this month angkara nak pegi Singapore and Jogja pulak ni.. now kena la pulak battery punya hal la pulak.. adoiiii!

When I checked the lifespan of the bettery.. mmg patut kena tukar pun.. dah 2 years 1 months.. so I must say that Century battery memang tahan laaa.. kalau tak mmg sure 1 year lebih dah kong punya kan.. tapi tu laa.. hisyyy!

Tried to call Nissan service suruh depa hantar their agent tukar battery, but tak angkat2.. at last merempit la pegi Sri Petaling nak cari battery baru.. melayang lagi pulak rm260 ni... adoiiiiii!

POKOK KARI BERBUNGA..

Waaaaaaa... the water supply sudah pulih seperti sediakala dahh... Happy! Happy! Happy! so dapat la menyiram pokok2 kat balcony yang dah macam hutan tu and tambah air dlm kolam ikan ku.. kesian depa.. sejak takdak air ni memang kena neglect for a while.. almost a week jugak la.. thank god the plants still remain subur as it is.. and the pond is still filled with enough amount of water for the fishes..

One thing for sure, dalam2 masa takdak air ni pun, something interesting happened, pokok kariku yg dah hampir nak mati tu naik balik dgn suburnya.. and siap ada bunga.. sorry la pe'rak sikit naaa.. but this is the first time I saw bunga pokok curry.. and it smells very nice too.. Never that I know that pokok kari actually ada bunga.. hahahahah!
Some facts that I got about daun kari....
Hasil kajian mendapati daun kari mengandungi:
66.3% kelembapan
6.1% protein
1.0% lemak
16.0% karbohidrat
6.4% fiber
Daun kari juga mengandungi mineral dan vitamin seperti kalsium, fosforus, zat besi, asid nikotinik dan vitamin C. Ia juga mengandungi volatile oil dan sejenis glukosid yang dipanggil koenigiin. Daun kari mempunyai khasiat perubatan yang tinggi dan digunakan dengan meluas dalam perubatan Ayurveda di India. Daun kari mempunyai nilai sebagai antioksidan, anti-diabetes, antimikrob, anti-inflamasi, Hepatoprotektor, anti-hiperkolesterolemia dan lain-lain lagi. Daun kari juga dikatakan baik untuk penjagaan rambut yang panjang dan sihat. Selain dari itu daun kari juga dapat mencegah uban. Kulit pokok, daun dan akar pokok daun kari digunakan sebagai tonik. Pucuk daun muda juga boleh dibuat ulam.
Daun kari boleh dijadikan tonik herba untuk menguatkan perut dan meningkatkan keupayaannya serta mengatasi masalah penghadaman. Ia juga boleh digunakan sebagai laksatif (julap) lemah untuk mengatasi masalah sembelit. Jus daun kari yang dicampur dengan madu juga dapat menjadi penawar kepada cirit birit dan buasir. Jus daunnya yang segar dicampur dengan jus limau nipis digunakan untuk mengatasi masalah loya dan pening terutamanya akibat makan lemak yang berlebihan. Caranya dengan mencampurkan satu sudu teh jus daun kari dan satu sudu teh jus limau nipis. Daun kari juga berkesan dalam mengatasi masalah haid dan penyakit gonorea (gonorrhea), menghilangkan rasa loya dan pening-pening lalat bagi wanita mengandung.
Air rebusan kulit batangnya yang kering dapat digunakan untuk mengubat diabetes. Amalan memakan 10 helai daunnya setiap hari selama 3 bulan dikatakan dapat mencegah kencing manis yang disebabkan oleh keturunan dan kegemukan. Buahnya yang didihkan dengan minyak kelapa hingga kehitaman boleh dihancurkan dan digunakan untuk merawat gigitan serangga dan haiwan berbisa. Daunnya yang dihancurkan dan dijadikan pes boleh digunakan untuk merawat lebam dan bengkak dengan cara menampalnya pada bahagian yang sakit.
Daun kari juga berkesan menyembuhkan penyakit cirit-birit dan penyakit berak darah yang juga disebut disentri. Daun kari dan akarnya juga dikatakan baik untuk peredaran darah dan boleh bertindak sebagai sedatif. Walaupun terdapat pelbagai kegunaan tumbuhan ini, namun penggunaannnya perlu mendapat nasihat daripada pengamal perubatan untuk mengelakkan kemudaratan di kemudian hari kelak.
waaa.. byknya khasiatnya kan?? a question to myself.. pokok karinya ada, tapi awat masak kari tk pernah buat ye? hahahahah... hancurrrr!

STARBUCKS IN CYBER?

I was on my way back home today when I saw this huge signboard behind Maybank building in Cyberjaya.. new building of Starbucks, 2 tingkat lagii.. complete with drive-thru in in progress.. and yang paling penting the signboard is so huge people can see it from far...

Aiyooo.. ini sudah bagus... I'll be the happiest person soon.. boleh buat keja from Starbucks.. Macchiato Ice Blended and Ice Chocolate.. wait for me.. yahoooooo!

IT'S THURSDAY.. YEAYYYY!

I donno but I'm so happy that it's already Thursday today.. Just can't wait for Friday to finish so I can have my 2 days break of the week.. So' I've given my 20% today, and will give another 5% tomorrow before the weekend starts.. heheheh!

Honestly, I'm so so tired of the never ending work lately.. need to take a break from all this craziness.. thank god there will be a long awaited trip end of next week to Singapore.. followed by another trip to Jogjakarta 3 weeks from now.. and balik Ganu at the end of next month.. seriously, can't wait.. Singapore.. here I come! yeahaaaaaa!

AND THE MISERY CONTINUES....

Believe it or not.. it has been a few days of misery out of the stupid problem faced by Syabas over their long overdue maintenance of their whatever water plant problems..
At first I thought the problem is settled, as when woke up for my morning pee.. ada air.. but later takdak balik.. and also again after 7pm.. ada air.. but later gone again.. and so I later realised that air dah kena catu due to this problem.. adoiii.. rasanya this is the first time in many2 years of my stay here yang tak ada air selama mcm ni.. and I'm sure people around Bukit Jalil and Sri Petaling area are facing the same problem too..

Thank god ada la jugak preparation for this kind of emergency macam ni.. the huge water container yang dah beli bertahun2 akhirnya ada faedahnya jugakk, ditambah pulak dgn baldi yang ada a few tu buat takung air.. and during the short period with water supply ni la basuh pinggan mangkuk, tadah air and settle the wajib part.. mandi and berakk.. hahah!
During this period la memang nak kena avoid orang datang rumah a big no-no.. memang jangan harap la nak ajak orang datang rumah.. jenuh karang takdak air.. hahahah! Hai la Syabas ni.. bila la nak ada air balik macam biasa ni? Tolongggggggggggg...

THE NEW PROTON PREVE

The long awaited Persona replacement is here.. saw the launching last nite live on TV.. and today went straight away to the showroom to check it out.. and yeah! it's a nice car.. very nice indeed..

This is the new breed of Proton.. so I must check it out myself..and while checking out for the car myself.. I was like.. hmmm.. really nice car.. the interior is very sleek and cool..

the design is very up to date.. the car is quite big.. spacious seat room, huge bonet, lots of compartment.. and most interesting thing is.. the price isn't that bad for a car that nice.. and you get the built-in GPS, and a year of Yes4g free wifi for easier surfing in the car.. cool eh?

Well.. notice that I kept saying 'nice' huhh? not marvelous, not superb, not out of the world kind of car.. and why? hahah.. just saw some updates in the FB that the buttons at the dashboard were teared out.. only on the first day after the launching.. hahahahah! so enough for me to say nice car..
Chatted with one of the salesman, and he mentioned that the old model of Persona will be discontinued, and even some of the Inspira model will soon be discontinued.. leaving only the 1.8 Inspira for those who is still interested to buy.. if any laaa.. hahahah! and even funnier thing is that the saleslady kept saying that the Inspira interior is ancient.. so lama-lama type.. hahahahah!
Still.. I just love my Blackie too much.. Good luck Preve.. heheheheh!

A DAY WITHOUT MY PHONE

RESTLESS!!! That's the exact word that I could describe myself today without my phone with me.. boleh pulak tertinggal my phone on the bed kat rumah.. and as I realised that I don't my my phone with me.. it is a bit too late already as we hafta rush for a meeting... adoiii!

Gila betul rasa macam ada something yang tak complete with you without the phone.. dok dlm keta pun restless, dok dlm meeting pun restless, habis meting pun restless.. macam kucing hilang anak!! That's how important your phone is nowadays.. Balik rumah beratur la messages and missed calls list.. heheh! I don't know about you guys.. macamana? can you lead your day ahead without your phone with you? I know I can't.. hahahahah...
