Bila Jam Terhenti

The day before..

We had a call for meeting at 5.00 pm when i met my former boss.. I felt honoured when he passed by and told me "Ika takde, susah lah saya "..
Now you know how important i am.. :))

The next day...
I woke up as usuall, but in the early morning washed my clothes. Thought that has been too long in the toilet, i was looking for the time when i realized the wall clock stopped at 4.50 (am).

Have the habit of watching the clock frequently in the morning, i rushed to look for the table clock. Oh no..it stopped at 6.10 am.

Nvm, i still have the watch.
Thru-out the day.. at 4.00 pm, i saw my watch stopped at 3.50pm.

WHAT?? again??

Bila masa terhenti, terasa juga..
Terfikir, mungkin dah sampai masanya saya...
Ssiapa sangka, kan..
Dah sampai rupenyer masa saya..

Untuk ganti bateri2 jam..

Dush, awatler semua mati serentak!!

Go!

Aiyarks.. Terasa panahan 'kemarahan' Ainul & Aini.. Saya curik2 masa utk update sedikit blog. Terima kasih kerana mengingati:)

Ada beberapa isu yg berlegar2 dalam fikiran untuk dikongsi bersama, unfortunately saya yang tidak pandai membahagi masa utk menaip. Saya kira apa yg dikatakan Mizie sebenarnya itu juga luahan hati saya. Dah lama terfikir mungkin saya perlu belajar mengendalikan senjata: bukan setakat pistol dan senapang tapi mungkin pedang dan pisau, kayu atau kain cindai sekalipun. Mungkin perlu juga belajar memanah dan menunggang kuda, walau nampak seperti aktiviti/hobi riadah saya kira sebenarnyer lebih dari itu yg boleh dibuat :) .

Sekarang (dan untuk kesekian kali dan lamanya), saya masih dalam mood Full House (Siri Drama/Soap-Opera Korea). Mungkin sbb saya rasakan watak Han Ji-Eun tu mcm ada iras2 saya (esp. bab dramatik@full of expression dan juga tak pandai/malas mengemas.. kat bab mengemas ni saya masih fail dan masih cuba nak perbaiki:P ).

Tapi dalam masa yg sama kena fokus pula utk training. Hmm, esok session saya yg pertama untuk mengajar. First session that will be fully conducted by me. Orang kata nampak OK, tenang dan confident aje.. Saya kata dalam hati hanya Allah yang Tahu. OK, perlu assist colleagues utk modules mereka, nanti esok takde sapa nak assist saya pula..

Zulaikha,
Aja Aja Fighting!

Drastik

Bercuti 2 hari kerana raya haji.
Balik sahaja bercuti, terus dimaklumkan perlu melaksanakan kerja baru serta-merta. Tugas sediada juga diserahkan serta-merta kepada pengganti. Pengganti pun rasanya terkejut sebab memang langsung tidak dijangka.

Bercerita dengan rakan-rakan sekerja; tentang permainan catur.
Tentang mereka masing-masing menjadi ‘askar’, ditolak-tolak sahaja ke hadapan tanpa mengetahui apa yang menunggu. Kalau nasib baik, dapatlah ke ‘Haji’ menukar status lebih elok. Kalau tidak, terkeluarlah dari papan permainan (chessboard).
Yang di belakang pun bergerak juga, tapi yang berada di atas papan permainan tidak tahu apa yang berlaku. Cuma pemain2nya sahaja yang tahu mana hala tuju.
Yang paling kurang bernasib baik, tentulah chessboard. Nampak sahaja, tapi juga tak boleh berbuat apa2 walau mengetahui sesuatu juga. Dan kata mereka, sayalah chessboard itu. *senyum sahajalah, kan ainul*

Seminggu tidak di pejabat, menjalani latihan-latihan untuk tugas baru. Hari ini pulang ke bakal pejabat lama, mengemas-ngemas semua perkara. Minggu hadapan sudah tidak mahu melihat saya di sini. Orang-orang di ibu pejabat pula sedang pergi berkursus hari ini, mungkin menjadi kurang gangguan. Nota serah-tugas pun masih belum nampak bayang, perlu disiapkan hari ini. Hai, tak tidur seminggulah nak siapkan nota serah-tugas ini.

Bakal bekas ketua (future former boss) pernah memberitahu, “Kita datang sini untuk apa? Untuk bekerja”. Susah juga membina minat untuk memegang jawatan terdahulu, nampaknya bila minat sudah bercambah dan kerja semakin seronok tiba-tiba ditukarkan pula. Takpalah, mungkin ada hikmah di sebaliknya. Believing and still believing that God has His own planning on me.

Lord, grant me peace at heart for that I love more; for that I can do better; for that I will accept everything calmly; for that I will never stop trusting You.
(Tuhan, kurniakan saya hati yang tenang kerana itu lebih saya sukai; untuk saya melakukan yang lebih baik dan menerima dengan rela hati dan terus menggantung kepercayaan kepadaMu…)

New job is going to consume a lot of my time, I am going to miss sharing info and knowledge and my thoughts with my blog-readers, especially my friends who knew me inside and outside. I am going to do new job, wish me luck, pray that I will be able to love my new tasks and responsibility, and pls pray that I am and will be doing good in my new job. Amiinn.

P/s: who says I can’t type good Malays? I wrote more in Malays in this posting. Hiihihih:P

Akhir Tahun, Tahun Baru..

I’m leaving for Kuching tomorrow for some work reason. Seems like I’m going to have my new year’s night in Kuching. Can’t think of what to do yet or what to buy yet in Kuching since I don’t plan to go for shopping yet. Just figured out that my camera cannot be used, so I’m looking for someone who can lend me the camera. Err, anyone out there?

Talking about New Year.. Last year I made so many plan, hope etc etc. Most of them were carried from the previous years. Nampaknya masih banyak lagi yang tak terbuat, atau sebenarnya hampir tiada yang selesai dibuat. Setiap tahun mesti bertanya kepada diri, “Apakah perancangan sepanjang tahun, apakah yang saya nak capai tahun ini?”. Since setiap tahun perancangan asyik terpilih yang tidak dapat diselesaikan, tahun ini kena buat pilihan yang betul..

Lalu-lalang di office lobby, nampaklah karakter kartun-kartun berdiri. Salah satu karakter tu tulis : Tahun Baru, Azam Baru.

Jadi…
Apakah Azam Tahun Baru Anda?
Azam Saya Pada Tahun Baru Ini Ialah Mencari Azam Baru..

Hehehheheheh
Boleh kan? :p

Imagine a Tortoise

Imagine.
The chemistry existed between 2 persons years ago.
But never being said between them.
And then, they lost contact.

Few years later, somehow the met.
They remain friends.
Year comes, year end..
Finished studying life, and start working life.
They still contacting each other.
Talking to each other.
Meeting each other.

One day they had a conversation.
Only to realize they did like each other years ago.
But he's taken.

He said, " Laa..apasal ko tak cakap dulu?"
She said, "Laa.. ko lah apesal tak tanye dulu. Aku kan perempuan, takkan aku nak cakap dulu kot. Lagipun, manalah aku tahu yg ko ada rasa apa2 kat aku"
He said, "Laa.. isk, betul jugak.. la.. kalau ko ckp dulu, mesti cerita dah lain"
She said, "Haah lah.. Jadi cerita lain kan.. "
They were laughing.

Lastly, they agreed they will be friends only. Good friends.

One day, she received SMS from him.
"I'm getting married", he said.
She smiled and replied, "Congratulation".
Later at night, she can't sleep.

*****************************************************
Cerite di atas tiada kena mengena dengan orang lain samada yang masih hidup atau telah tiada.

Nota:
1. Abg Nazri, i guess you were rite. I'm too slow, slower than a kura-kura (tortoise).

2. Aida, how i wish i have the gutts like you sometimes. Byk sgt dlm kepala aku yg difikirkan. :p

Terlepas lagi.. hahahahahahhahahah

It's December 2005

It has been a week away from the office. I was on MC last week due to illness: food poisoning and gastric. Al-Hamdulillah feeling better now.

Seems like this year i made a record for myself. Met 9 doctors in total including 1 specialist to seek medical treatment, advice and check up; plus all the MCs i had, it's a new record. Last week alone i met 4 doctors and almost warded, but since i felt better i requested to stay at home (upon signed the surat mengingkari arahan doktor..hehe). There is something i learnt from the illness: stomachache. But i will share it later when i have time to do so.

It has been a year..
I remembered last year, at this moment @ period of time i was unable to open blogs (esp. those few blogs including mine) as i will cry infront of the PC. Watching my name to be among the first typed on her blog triggered my heart. Listening to Sami Yusof's song al-Muallim also made me felt something. Even until now, i still miss her. Apatah lagi keluarga dia kan.

DariNya kita datang, kepadaNya kita kembali. Moga dia tenang di sana.

Added to this December, one of my close junior was married yesterday. I just can't believe that this girl who used to come to my room every nite at 1.00 am in the morning just to disturb me which usually ended up i pretended fall asleep already was getting married yesterday with a guy from Belgium. Ntah manalah dia jumpa mamat peghancis ni.

She put my friend and I in a very special place - among her husband's friends. Indeed we felt proud for such an honor, but the problem is met these france speaking people i was so shocked that i forget how to speak a proper english. The foreigners asked us a lot of question, one of the question was about Menepung Tawar. How do i explain this thing in English?

In the end i have to apologize to them for unable to explain because (i said) nobody asked me before. Well, nevermind i'm not the only one having difficulties to explain the custom and culture. The person sat next to me said "I'm from Germany and has been talking France for such a long time. I have to convert the words from France to Germany to English and I have forgotten my English" when i asked the person about the wedding custom in their place and the replied of some words were in France. But of all, we were having good time and yes some of them are handsomes too :p.

Anyway, congratulation to my dear Samira & husband Hadrien@Nasir for their wedding. May your marriage be blessed.

Time's up. Have to check up a lot of emails. Insha-Allah see ya all around later.

Insult

The news is spreading all over.
Shocking, but expected.

After all, it just a matter of time.

I am feeling annoyed now.
And Disturbance.

Pray.
May I not burst as what I used to be when it comes to the interview day.

Cry? No.. That was not me.
But being sarcastic and argumentative.


They said,
Think positive.

I say, Isk.. I am trying!

p/s: Aida, sorry.. for letting you feel stress again with my posting.

Di PaGi iNi

Headache ....

Is that due to :
1. Ate too much chocolates ?
2. Drank too little water ?
3. The weather was too hot ?
4. The weather was too cold ?
5. Rain dropped on your head ?
6. Slept too much during the weekends ?

Sakit penghapus dosa....

Think about it

(1)
Someone said that my blog seems to be so ‘personal’, guess I will have to reserve some.

Another friend said that she feel stressed reading my blog because I was always in a rush telling people I’m busy with work, too busy in fact. Err, is that so?

(2)
Another people asked me if I am married. They told me I *do* look like a married someone. Gosh! No wonder.. hahahah..
NVM, I realize it is all right not to get married yet since I myself for the last few weeks seem to be in unable to manage-myself-well situation.

(3)
Everyone seems to do this blogthingy quizzes; saw the ‘how-your-mind-look’ quiz results in their blogs. Those who are closed to me knew which one I will choose, aren’t you people. (siti, hany, mudin.. you are the first in the list to guess which pattern will I choose? : )) )

I tried one quiz, which-heart-color-you-belongs-to (search it for yourself, will ya). Guess what the answer? It’s PINK! (again, those who knew me well should know the hidden message here). Is that the reason why I am actually quite allergy to certain level of pinkness?

(4)
Think about it…
A friend of mine shared this with me the last few months but only have the chance to post it now. I don’t know whether it can work or not since I remembered Aida tagged that “kalau dekat Malaysia harga barang turun, kiamatlah kot” which indirectly says the drop in oil price in Malaysia will give bad impacts on our future.

Points to ponder…

*******
Probably doesn’t quite work here since prices are controlled but still no harm trying. At least mess with their logistics.

Read it! The theory is quite rational even though might be messy a bit.
Subject: Think about it .........

This is a rather lengthy story but if the concept is applied to the petroleum industry en masse, it just may work.

A man eats two eggs each morning for breakfast. When he goes to the grocery store he pays 60 cents a dozen. Since a dozen eggs won't last a week he normally buys two dozens at a time. One day while buying eggs he notices that the price has risen to 72 cents. The next time he buys groceries, eggs are 76 cents a dozen.

When asked to explain the price of eggs the storeowner says, "The price has gone up and I have to raise my price accordingly".

This store buys 100 dozen eggs a day. He checked around for a better price and all the distributors have raised their prices.

The distributors have begun to buy from the huge egg farms. The small egg farms have been driven out of business. The huge egg farms sell 100,000 dozen eggs a day to distributors. With no competition, they can set the price as they see fit. The distributors then have to raise their prices to the grocery stores. And on and on and on.

As the man kept buying eggs the price kept going up. He saw the big egg trucks delivering 100 dozen eggs each day. Nothing changed there. He checked out the huge egg farms and found they were selling 100,000 dozen eggs to the distributors daily. Nothing had changed but the price of eggs.

Then week before Thanksgiving the price of eggs shot up to $1.00 a dozen. Again he asked the grocery owner why and was told, "Cakes and baking for the holiday". The huge egg farmers know there will be a lot of baking going on and more eggs will be used. Hence, the price of eggs goes up. Expect the same thing at Christmas and other times when family cooking, baking, etc. happen.

This pattern continues until the price of eggs is 2.00 a dozen. The man says, " There must be something we can do about the price of eggs".

He starts talking to all the people in his town and they decide to stop buying eggs. This didn't work because everyone needed eggs. Finally, the man suggested only buying what you need. He ate 2 eggs a day. On the way home from work he would stop at the grocery and buy two eggs. Everyone in town started buying 2 or 3 eggs a day.

The grocery store owner began complaining that he had too many eggs in his cooler. He told the distributor that he didn't need any eggs. Maybe wouldn't need any all week.

The distributor had eggs piling up at his warehouse. He told the huge egg farms that he didn't have any room for eggs would not need any for at least two weeks.

At the egg farm, the chickens just kept on laying eggs. To relieve the pressure, the huge egg farm told the distributor that they could buy the eggs at a lower price.

The distributor said, " I don't have the room for the %$&^*&% eggs even if they were free". The distributor told the grocery store owner that he would lower the price of the eggs if the store would start buying again.

The grocery store owner said, "I don't have room for more eggs. The customers are only buying 2 or 3 eggs at a time. Now if you were to drop the price of eggs back down to the original price, the customers would start buying by the dozen again".

The distributors sent that proposal to the huge egg farmers but the egg farmers liked the price they were getting for their eggs but, those chickens just kept on laying. Finally, the egg farmers lowered the price of their eggs. But only a few cents.

The customers still bought 2 or 3 eggs at a time. They said, "When the price of eggs gets down to where it was before, we will start buying by the dozen."

Slowly the price of eggs started dropping. The distributors had to slash their prices to make room for the eggs coming from the egg farmers.

The egg farmers cut their prices because the distributors wouldn't buy at a higher price than they were selling eggs for. Anyway, they had full warehouses and wouldn't need eggs for quite a while.

And those chickens kept on laying.

Eventually, the egg farmers cut their prices because they were throwing away eggs they couldn't sell.

The distributors started buying again because the eggs were priced to where the stores could afford to sell them at the lower price.And the customers starting buying by the dozen again.

Now, transpose this analogy to the gasoline industry.

What if everyone only bought $10.00 worth of gas each time they pulled to the pump? The dealer's tanks would stay semi full all the time. The dealers wouldn't have room for the gas coming from the huge tank farms. The tank farms wouldn’t have room for the gas coming from the refining plants. And the refining plants wouldn't have room for the oil being off loaded from the huge tankers coming from the oil fiends.

Just $10.00 each time you buy gas. Don't fill it up. You may have to stop for gas twice a week but, the price should come down.

Think about it.

As an added note...When I buy $10.00 worth of gas that leaves my tank a little under quarter full. The way prices are jumping around, you can buy gas for $2.65 a gallon and then the next morning it can be $2.15. If you have your tank full of $2.65 gas you don't have room for the $2.15 gas. You might not understand the economics of only buying two eggs at a time but, you can't buy cheaper gas if your tank is full of the high priced stuff.

Also, don't buy anything else at the gas station; don't give them any more of your hard earned money than what you spend on gas, until the prices come down..."


.............please pass this concept around.... reaching out to the mass.. The world ...the universe

Tulisan Lama

Cerite ditulis sewaktu tgh bercuti..tapi tak sempat nak upload..
Bacalah yer spekulasi serong saya, tapi jgn percaya sgt... :))

Sunday, Oct 30th
Alor Gajah, Melaka

It has been four days I came back to my hometown. But I felt like I just came back yesterday. Uh, uh.. the plan did not went well. Lain yg dirancang, lain plak yg jadi. For sure, I slept a lot as if recharging my body during a long holidays, hope that I will have enough energy when I come back to office in 2 weeks time..

I type these words while waiting for the break-fasting on Sunday evening, and listening to the radio and pleasant sounds of birds chirping at the nearest tree .. aha, forget about the green leaves and colourful flowers from my mother’s small garden.. a pleasant evening..

Unfortunately, I seems to not having any ideas to talk about this time. Surprisingly, I seems to loose ideas and forget how to think and talk. I guess no wonder recently my boss asked me to think, and not to stop thinking.

Now I have to admit that I am a bit jealousy t Mr Rollie as I figured out he wrote a lot nowadays with a lot of topics, but I can’t find one that suits my thoughts now..

Hmmm hmmm..let see..

k. I found one suddenly. May I talk about one of the issues that is currently still a big interest in our society..? About Oil Price (Minyak)

Siti and I went to help Pn Hany at her home last Sunday by taxi where the taxi driver was so friendly talking and sharing his experiences and ideas with us. As he told siti not to look people with one eye only, he was a frequent traveler to few big foreign cities and countries such as Germany, UK, Italy etc. I did not underestimate people.

Part of our discussion was about the standard of living for Malaysian, This Uncle said that he brought a Germanian, who told him how lucky a Malaysian is as we are able to have more than two cars a home while he who people perceived as ‘rich’ even still using public transport back to his mother country. He said the price of oil there is much higher, thus it is cheaper to travel by public transport. For Malaysians, this Uncle said that whenever we have higher paid, we will opt for own transport resulting in severe traffic jams (we was stuck in a traffic jam at the Mid Valley when he said this). He then compared Malaysians with other citizens in Indonesian and India who have to pay higher amount for oil. Still, Malaysians are complaining for the hike price of oil, and traffic jams.

Maybe, maybe.. I have another view. But, not to argue a lot with people I just shut-up my mouth. Sometimes, silence is better. Sometimes, I may learn to listen instead of talk. Sometimes, I knew that I might learn something by just listening instead of talking. But, I still managed to split in the middle of the conversation by saying “sometimes, our public transport is not that reliable though”. Well, as usual it was just like angin lalu…

By the way, I am not trying to talk about the public transport matters, nor did I want to talk about comparison of oil prices between countries.. I believed a lot of people have been discussing these in their writings.

Seems like I am the only one believing that the oil price is going to decrease within 6-12 months. I have one theory here, but not sure whether it is reliable or not. As I mentioned, when everyone around me thinks that the oil price will still climbing I seems to think the other way around. Unless, if the people behind the speculation of oil price think otherwise. However, this is just MY speculation. MY thought. Perhaps it is logical, but it may not be true too…


Why I said such thing?
The Speculation Country is not the main Producer Country.

The speculation mostly came from Western (specifically from US), even about Pinatubo and Karakatoa which have not yet meletup can be the reason for speculation to increase the oil price. A natural disaster.

I talked about this with a friend of mine who is working in one of the oil company. We believed that part of the reason for the speculations is to retard the economic development in developing and 3rd countries- in which most of these countries are Muslim Countries. By increase the price of oil, small and medium industries will face difficulties to stay in the market for a long-term thus have to move out or close down. When these industries close down, the workers which are Muslims will be terminated. The living standard will be increased too and the people ability to buy things will decrease (declining of Consumer Price Index). In the end, the Muslims countries will stay as a poor country..

Now, the speculation country is facing with Beautiful-Names-Hurricanes; Katrina, Rita, Wilma, Alpha etc. And the effect was terrible. For the speculation country to be able to build up back the country, they need to circulate back the resources, money and generate back the economy. Since most industries still using petrol and gas to operate, the high price of oil will limits the production. So, for that needs the price of oil and gas need to be lowered.

I believed if the price of oil in the future is really declining (even though it may not been the same as before), the Producing Countries also play their part by increasing the supply. I believed that the cooperation from Asians Countries (which are being affected the most) will think on how to manage this increase.

Err.. did any of us pray to Allah SWT in Ramadhan hoping that the price of oil will decline? Why did only in the last day of Ramadhan that I thought about this other idea…? Errr….

Lie

I made a vow to myself before not to lie anymore.

But yesterday, i broke my vow. I was bluffing to someone, for it was the easiest way to stop things from becoming worse.

God, please forgive me.

But, because of that i feel relieve.. Erks it is not supposed to be like that, isn't it?:p

Uhuks..

Apart of the nice wedding, beautiful bride & bridegroom, small alumni.. someone asked me why I looked sad, as it was obviously seen even from far. Hopefully, nobody’s misunderstood it. I am happy for my friends’ wedding. I’m happy to meet all of you. But something happen in the middle of the event. I’ve lost something put under my responsibility by the pengantin under my own nose. It is truly sad. I apologize for that. Nasib baik pengantin cool. I am not sure whether they found the thing back or not. I hope and pray may they find it back.

Sorry ek kawan..


P/s: to all my readers, sorry ek. Tetibe 2-3 posting cam sedih jer bunyinyer..

Secret Recipes

Agaknya my previous posting secara tak langsung/sedar mempunyai unsur2 kesedihan berlebihan? : ) Apa2 pun, thanx all friends for your Doas for all the singles out there.. he he he.. sabar ek kenkwn, Quwatul Intizhor (Kekuatan Menunggu) ;)

OK. Since taknak menghampakan beberapa org pengunjung, di sini kite nak kongsi resipi mudah dan sedap melibatkan ikan.. hohohoho

Jenis Ikan yg Sesuai utk Masakan2 ini: Ikan Siakap, Ikan Kerapu

Ikan Berasa-Rasa (ubahsuai dr 3-Rasa)
Resipi ni gabungan 2-3 resipi ikan 3-rasa..

Bahan2:
Bawang Besar
– dihiris bulat

Bawang putih
Halia
- dimayang halus

4-5 batang cili padi
- dipotong2

Sos Cili (dlm 3-4 sudu)
Sos Tomato (dlm 2 sudu)
Sos Tiram (dlm 3-4 sudu)
Sos Cili Thai (dlm 3 senduk)
Minyak Bijan 1-2 sudu (optional)

Cendawan Butang
-dibelah dua
Hirisan Nenas (Optional)

Garam secukup rasa
(but tak perlu garam sgt pun, sbb sos tiram dah memasinkannya)

Cara-cara:
1. Ikan dibersihkan dan digoreng dengan kunyit dan sedikit garam dlm minyak sampai garing. Abgkat, toskan dlm pinggan
2. Tumis bawang besar, bawang putih dan halia sekejap. Masukkan semua sos2 tu, kalau terlalu pekat tambah sedikit air.
3. Masukkan cili padi, cendawan butang dan nenas. Biar sehingga masak/mendidih.
4. Tuangkan kuah atas ikan.
5. Siap utk dimakan dengan nasi panas.. yum yum yum..



Ikan Kukus Special
(Ni secret recipe family ni tau.. usually kalau nak buat kena dtg rumah belajar, tapi takpeler kongsi ngan korang:p )

Bahan A:
Bawang Merah
Bawang Putih
Halia
- semua di atas ditumbuk halus

Serbuk Lada Putih/Lada Hitam
Sos Tiram
Bunga Kobis (Cauliflower) – potong kecil
Broccoli – potong kecil
Cendawan Butang – belah dua
Batang Saleri – potong serong

1. Campurkan bahan A dengan serbuk lada putih (atau gantikan dengan serbuk lada hitam. Guna salah satu atau sedikit lada hitam dlm lada putih sbb takut nanti ‘pedas’ sgt). Agak2 laa dlm 3-4-5 sudu..
2. Campurkan sos tiram. Kalau ikan siakap besar kat pasaraya dlm 300-400g tu, campurkan dlm 3 senduk sos tiram.
3. Lumurkan bahan semua tu ke atas/dalam ikan
4. Masukkan ikan dlm bekas untuk dikukus. Atau boleh juga guna aluminium foil letak di sekeliling pengukus buat macam bentuk mangkuk.
5. Masukkan sayur2 di atas ikan
6. Tuang sos tiram di sekeliling sayur2 dlm bekas.
7. Tutup pengukus. Masak dlm api sederhana dlm ½ jam. Lepas tu boleh dimakan. Usually mmg confirmlah dah masak time tu.

Note:
1. Usually sos tiram yg akan saya gunakan dlm ½ - ¾ botol
2. Jgn letak garam atau air sbb sos tiram akan memberi perasa kepada ikan, dan air akan terbentuk melalui pengewapan & dari ikan (mcm kelas sains plak)
3. Kalau suka rasa manis (mcm letak gula sikit), masukkan sebiji asam boi masa mengukus.

OK selamat mencuba dan menjamu selera!:D

Mix Feeling

I went to Along (Azreen) and Cheng (Hasry) ‘s wedding at Tangkak last Sunday. I brought my parents too; apart of the reason nak ajak mereka makan nasi minyak kawan, it was because I do not know how to reach there via public transport.. But I guess it was not a wise decision. Not now.

I left my parents to eat first while I went inside to meet Along- the Bride. I met Bush- the-Bride-mate and almost-8-months-pregnant-Gina. When Cheng arrived, I saw Tapai-the-Best-man, Ayil (the payung holder?), Rumeg-the-photographer, Rodek-the-actor and few other familiar faces.. Sorry guys, I dun really remember ur real names. I thought Ecah might be around since her husband came too, but I didn’t catch any sight of her. Along and Cheng looked beautiful and nice. Mcm tak percaya pula mereka berdua. Kalau dah jodoh kan. Apa2 pun congratulation to both of them.

So back to the story. I was standing in front of the main door looking at the newly wedded couple and then turned to look for my parents when I saw my father stood nearby. I went to my mom just to find out she seems to cry, surprised with her reaction I asked why she was crying. And she said, it was because of my father. My father told my Mom that most of my friends are married, and I look older now but still didn’t get married.

Pening jap kepala aku.

But after awhile, she was OK. I told her I am not the only one yg tak kawin lagi. Pengapit dua-2 single lagi. I told her too nak buat macamana, jodoh belum sampai. But my father said ‘ awak tu yg memilih sgt’. I kept quite.

Maybe next time I shouldn’t bring them around or I should look for my own car. Korang (kwn2 yg tak kawin lagi), if in the future I didn’t manage to come to your wedding(s) for unspeakable reason..sorrylah yer.

They worry either nobody wants me or I didn’t want to get married. Keep on questioning me who is my boyfriend and what kind of man I want. Nobody perfect, said them. I said yes. I am not perfect myself. Terlepas juga kadang2, nak cari yg boleh beri ‘cooling effect’.. he he he

Pressure?
Not really. But a little bit guilty for make them worries about me too much. A mix feeling between guilty and not guilty. Last sekali cuma boleh ckp Sabarlah mak, abah. Insha-Allah sampai jodoh nanti. My mom is the third in the family. My first auntie’s daughter have three children, my last auntie’s daughters who are younger than me have 3 children altogether. My father is the 2nd, my sister is married and now pregnant. My cousin the same age with me also pregnant now, and my older-sister-cousin is going to get married by earlier next year. I? Still like that, seems don’t bother about that.

Desperate?
I have passed the ‘test’.

I made target last time to get married earlier by the age of 24, or latest by 25. Since I am already passed my age of 25 (although it’s 25 years-and-1-month old) but still have not found the One, I feel a little bit relax now. Maybe because I dun have to push myself anymore to achieve the target. Life must go on, isn’t it. I put my wish to The Almighty Allah because He knew better than me. If it is good for me to get married, then marry me with someone who is good. If it is better for me not to get married, then make me a good someone and make my heart strong. Amiin. Insha-Allah apa pun keputusanNya, saya redha.

I remembered what Rasulullah S.A.W said to Abu Bakar when they were hiding themselves from Arab Quraisyh in a cave. La Tahzan! (Don’t be sad)- because Abu Bakar was sad if Rasulullah was found and killed, Islam will be demolished. But the Prophet also knew that Islam will win and rise up in the future. Similar case, I knew that now or later I will meet the one created for me because Allah already told us that He created things in pair. If not in this current world, it will be in the next ‘world’.

To my unmarried friends, don’t be sad. You all are not alone. Insha-Allah your time will come. Sooner or later. Insha-Allah. There are lots of thing for you to do and to occupy your mind. :)

Maybe I should ask my Mom to read La Tahzan (Jangan Bersedih)’s book that I bought last time, but have no time to read accept the first 20 pages… he he he
