2013 in recap (Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional)



Camera Museum, Penang ~5/11/2013

As-salam everyone!
 

2013 is coming to it's end. Lots of things had happened throughout the year. I am thankful to Allah for what he has given me though I am maybe His most least favourite servant.

 

Back to business!

 

Tahun ni tak banyak gunung-ganang yang aku kejar, sekadar merepeat lokasi-lokasi yg sebelum ini. Tapi Alhamdulillah, dalam kesempitan masa dan kesempatan tu, sempat jugaklah aku ke Medan, Indonesia pada 30/4/2013-5/5/2013, meniti misi ke Gunung Sibayak, Medan. Mengjoinkan diri dalam grup bebudak Trekkerz. Tahun lepas, tarikh yg sama, aku ke Gunung Rinjani, Lombok Indonesia..eh eh macam janji pulak eh.. :p

 

Alhamdulillah, dengan restu keluarga dan berbekalkan niat yang baik, aku selamat bertunang dengan Hubster pada 13/1/2013. Tak lama pun kami kenal, sebulan dua macam tuh, terus bertunang. Dan, pada 6/9/2013 yang lepas, kami telahpun selamat diijabkabulkan. Kadang-kadang rasa diri ni tak deserve happiness for all the dark side which I have. Wallahualam, kita memang tak tahu rahsia Allah. Syukur dan tawakkal, Allah sentiasa kurniakan yang terbaik untuk hambanya.

 

As a treat for myself and Hubster, we made our first trip together and fly backpacking to Turkey (17/9/2013-25/9/2013). Ini kali pertama aku plan everything from A to Z (op kos with help of hubster) to a country yang takde one single person yang tau bahasa melayu. Alhamdulillah, the trip was a success!  

 

Entri?? err... masih di kotak draft. Aku tak sempat lah!!! Kan best kalo aku ada mind typewriter.. huhu~

 

Atas izin-Nya jugak, aku berjaya potong wishlist aku utk participate in a marathon. Yeayy!!

 

Finishing of 2013, aku dapat tau yang aku dah pregnant. Gaspp!! Seyes aku terkejut, sebabnya minggu yang sama aku baru aje lari bersungguh-sungguh dalam marathon, siap pi urut bagai.. Allah Maha Kuasa, menyatukan benih aku dan suami walaupun aku buat semua benda yang kata orang tuh taboo untuk orang mengandung. Ok, mummy doakan baby jadi tough dan beriman macam babah, dan manis dan kuat macam mummy ye!

 

Hormonal change make me suffer. Sensitive yang tiada taranya. Oh no... Takpe, ini semua pahala... sentiasa tanam dalam kepala.

 

Checklist 2013:-

1. career boost;    - Alhamdulillah. Berjaya buat in non Convey matter this year.
2. to participate in Marathon - 7/12/2013

~signing off~

beginning of new phase in life

Alhamdulillah. .....

Semoga dipermudahkan..

big girls, don't cry, they pray, they take action.

Remember when I said,
your negativity will eat you
like a parasite
you don't see it, but when you do
you are almost gone

Remember what I always thought
yes, I thought and always hope
that my positivity
will be transmitted to you
but I sometimes forgot
that I am like the ocean
I run my tides every now and then
so, maybe
I am not a good transmitter

So much you want to deny it
your actions
usually speaks louder than your words
but it doesn't stop you
for saying out loud
things which you despise
...and in the dark
you cry more than anyone else

Your circles love you more than they should
but you always take them for granted
and you always makes them bleed
not by letting them down
because they have nothing to lose
but by letting you, yourself down.

yes,
you let yourself down

and it hurt us

so much of a hope you give us
now its time for evidence

shall you?

Nutella Brownies anyone?

Assalamualaikum...

 

Alkisahnya, aku nih sebenarnya suka sangat makan brownies. Dan kerana sukanya aku tu, dah beberapa kali aku cuba buat, tapi tak pernah lah menjadi. Brownies yang sepatutnya rangup tuh, sudahnya jadi moist cake. Aku pun tak tahu lah mana silapnya. Mesti salah oven yang jarang guna tuh. :p

 

Beberapa hari lepas, dok aku google cara buat lasagna, aku terpandang cara buat Nutella Brownies.

 

Tell you the truth, aku pun terkejut bila hanya tiga bahan yang digunakan.. ya, TIGA!! Dan, untuk memenuhi rasa ingin tahu tu, aku pun cuba la kat rumah, semalam.

 

Bahan-bahan yang digunakan adalah Multi Purpose Flour, Nutella dan Sebijik telur ayam.

Kita hanya perlukan separuh cawan Nutella tersebut. Wallahualam, aku pun tak timbang berapa gram lah pulak. Aku main agak-agak aje.

 

 



 

Masukkan dalam bowl kaca. Pecahkan telur ayam tuh, dan kacau guna hand mixer sampai dia sebati. 

 

 

Dah sebati ko letak pulak lima (5) sudu besar tepung serba guna (multi purpose flour) tadi secara berperingkat-peringkat. Jangan letak semua sekaligus, bertebaran nanti tepungnya.

 

Pastu, susun elok-elok bekas paper cup atas loyang. Disebabkan aku nih tak berapa confiden, aku letak paper cup aku atas loyang buat kuih cara. hehee... eh, paper cup tu jgn lupa letak la secalit butter.. Takmo kasi dia melekat.

Kemudian, tuangkan adunan tadi dalam paper cup. Wallahh... dah siap utk dibakar!

Masukkan dalam oven lebih kurang 15-20 minit dalam suhu 180'c. Disebabkan aku buat dalam paper cup kecik, so brownies aku tak ambil masa yg lama utk masak. Tapi, kalo korang decide untuk buat dalam satu loyang besar, masa dia lebih kurang 20-30 minit.

Sementara tunggu brownies tu masak, bolehla sediakan toppingnya. Aku guna walnut dan chocholate chip. Kacang walnut tuh aku ketuk2 sikit bagi hancur. Malas sangat korang ramas-ramas pun boleh.

Elok je masak brownies tu, calitkan lebihan nutella tu kat atas brownies, then campakla walnut and choc chip tadi. Masuk oven dalam seminit lagi. Jangan lama-lama sangat.. nanti hangit!

Then, Walllah... your Nutella Brownies da jadi!

Untuk satu adunan ni, aku dapat 24 biji paper cup. Rasa dia, oklah. Nak perfect, kene cuba lagik.

Selamat mencuba!!!!

7KM ENERGY RUN 2013 (my first medal)

Assalamualaikum. ..

Despite of my hectic schedule this week, I manage to struck off one of my to do list in 2013, i.e. to participate in a marathon.

Yes my dear, you are looking at 7km marathon finisher, within 52minutes.

Ok lah tu kann.. my target is to finish it in one hour. And, mind that this is the first time I participate in any marathon event. May this is the first of many to come.

Next target.. 10km within 1 hour by 2014.

CRAZY---- Cee Lo Green



 

Hi readers,

 

for you who had been following me long enough

whether openly

or even secretly

 

you should know by now

that I speak my heart out

 

what makes me happy

what worries me

what makes me sad

what makes me sick

 

and I'm far from perfect

and always in my own world

and sometimes I bring you to my world

 

do you feel me?

 

 

 

I remember when
I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place
Even your emotions had an echo in so much space, yeah

When you're out there
Without care, yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably

Now I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, yeah, that's my only advice
Yeah

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you
Who do you think you are ?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
It was no coincidence we've come
And I can die when I'm done

But maybe we're crazy
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Probably

musim tengkujuh

udara lembap
hari-hari mendung
musim hibernasi
musim menternak lemak
musim mengawan

no jogging
no outdoor workout

bersenam depan tv
sambil mengunyah keropok ikan
kaki goyang-goyang
kiri dan kanan

lain cerita di kilang kertas
deadline
deadline
deadline
kejar target of the year
bonus?
puiiiii..... takde harapan

bukan mengharap
tapi gaji bukan besar sangat
biasalah
baru nak mula hidup
hutang keliling pinggang

kepala goyang-goyang
kiri dan kanan.



p/s: Tanya sama pokok.. apa sebab goyang... eh?
