me, the girls and the Coast

its funny how I can ignore the ugliest song (like snoop's) in the air..I probably had my thought fly thru my mind during driving..I think too much lately, well..its basically about life.

life is like a drama with conflicts and all you wish is everything fine..or at least, all those help to build a stroger characters with patience, which in turn means several things..you and yourself..or you and the people around you, especially the dearly one.

and then, unlike recipes..where you already had the steps, life infront isn't always offering the easiest way..isn't always so ready. But who knows the luck along the way? so, if there is no oppurtunities, you can always create them, dont you?

I always said something like I wanna grow better, and yes I must admit that I will remember to keep my promises as one of the Shakespeare quote I like most,

"My words fly up, my thoughts remain below: Words without thoughts never to heaven go."

ok..I'm not going to drag you too long with this..lets update with our latest berbuka puasa at The Coast, Alamanda..

its been a long time since the last gathering, so we enjoy to update our story mory, latest doing, new stuff, new kilogram , new and new .. wow, pakai C purse, and everyone stared with enviness..and yes, we gigled like crazy ladies..

the funny part was, it cost us RM39 per pax, tapi dapat makan macam RM 14.90 je! tak banyak pilihan..sampai mashmelow pun ambik..

Nasi Nenas

haa..I am offering you this recipe, its a quick easy recipe for local delight lover because all you need are these..

our spices..

a diced pineapple ..please save some, because you may want to make it your snack later after terawih; nak cicah2 ke..

meat curry powder

******************
firstly..tumis bawang la..

Chicken..

..meat curry powder,

and blend them..

add the pineapple and prawns..
chilies

you may found it look less attrarctive..but the aroma tell it isnt so..hehe

now continue to add some water

..and your rice

and let the rice cooker do the rest..until,

it smells so good as the pineapple and taste even nyummy as we have the chicken, prawns and a the red hot stuff, chillies..

anyway, you can adjust the recipe to your liking.

immoral

I received a text message from my bestie this morning, telling me that somebody has found my picture secretly uploaded in this one blog., I am kind of curious to view that I quickly browsing thru my hp..yes, its really uploaded without my permission by this group and they have their own categories for the posting!..maybe it was not the author, but the person who sent the pic to the group..this attitude is so immoral and I wrote a message to the owner, I hope by now they have remove the picture.. hih!

raya shopping

I initially had my intention to cook my new founding recipe; Nasi Nenas *suka nenas, but now I’m too exhausted from today shopping agenda.

I went to Jln Tar this morning. I thought I was the early bird customer, until I reached the place and saw people being willingly packed in this colourful souk..wahh, so isn’t today is the payday for majority public? *silap langkah…Anyway, I took a deep breath and started my raya accessories hunting..raya song everywhere, completed the spirit..

So you can imagine me amid the crowd, searching the right stuff from place to place..

- kain pelikat for ayah..7000 benang..6000 benang?
- pants ..baru kalut2 call nak tanya size
- brooch for aunties
- matching tudungs

ouh ya girls,I just bought both of you baju kurung, instead of the ready glamorous kebaya..so that there’s no excuses for the dirty job at the back kitchen..huhu..

searching for mum’s was the most crucial part, I kept wandering till I came across the same shop twice.. and for the third time, akak kedai pun dah sengih2..I thought I had sufficient cash for all those, but I had to queued for nearly an hour to top up..benc

..at last, I finally finished my shopping and I drove back to our booth at Putrajaya to check some sales, when I noticed that none from the plastic bag is mine..hehe..but I’m happy with it!

p/s letih sgt beli dua jenis air hari ni..*yawn..

when i cook..

I enjoy our moreh after terawih..kopitiam mana2 pon mesti penuh kan.its funny to see how aunties lepak kopitiam with telekung..it happens here at bangi kopitiam.kot ye pon baru balik dari surau..hehe, well..musim ni je kot..

********

Instead wandering for siput sedut or gulai nenas ikan masin ( me typical local dishes lover) I cooked for our berbuka. Here are my appetizer recipes of mee bandung.

the ingredients must be

my favourite sawi

prawns

dried shrimp

mee

add X mixture to the boiling water, this time I only use a rice cooker ..senang.

stir

add prawns and tauhu goreng ( tak minat tauhu, so takda dalam gambar)

add dried shrimp

..some egg

mee

and sawi..

tada..

so good..

bole la kan..10 minutes punya cooking..cili untuk hiasan je..nanti buang

Selamat berpuasa, everyone...and Selamat berbuka..

*X mixture = mee bandung paste

to be honest, I miss my mum's laksa, ayah's pengat pisang, khairieah's orange cake and of course khairunie's kedep (local delight)..I wanna go home..

hi there

Perhaps you remember how I spent my time for 530 pm in office. Well, frankly it was totally different for this time around. How I wish that there is no 4 pm but a long..long day. And yeah, I haven’t meet my ordinary weekends.

We were at Bijou Bazaar last weekend. The crowd was ..urm..at least the last Bangsar was better. I was there for Saturday, and rush to Sunway Pyramid after berbuka. We are doing sales 20% discount for all Kebaya collection except for Lace Exclusive (10%) If you have some free time, we are please to entertain you at the New wing Orange Concourse.

me and aina @ Bijou Bazaar

fizah and aina @ our kebaya booth Sunway

Just another one week plus before raya with pack-time schedule, I cant resist to complete my raya shopping! what I used to do since I have my own money .. Well..of course kebayas for the two angels and just bought some shirts for my dad, table clothes for mum..this year will be in green theme..and I'm still staring at the shoe for dad..and I am thinking for mum’s baju kurung pula…(to fizaroosli..aku leh pegi Jln Tar bile2 je) I know it will be a huge spends but, I can call it my satisfaction. So what's for me? Not telling! hehe.

..and thanks to my roomate, who always support me, believe that I am all successor, I am at the top, eventho I am not..yet!

sigh

been searching the resource over Internet, but couldnt find any info..arghh..I wanna go to the place instead..Vietnam!

p/s er, cambodia? macam menarik

hi

At last, I have my convenient time to update something here. Been dealing with hectic work, everyday since we open the second booth at Sunway Pyramid. And we manage to hire a worker, so that we can find some space to do something else...so many things to catch up.

But anyway, I’ve lost my appetite again..don’t know why..and I am officially losing some weight.

Ouh yes, @Delirious (feat me) will be joining the Bijou Bazaar at Menara Hap Seng. Anyone interested can check the map that we have posted in kebaya blogspot previously. So, until then..Selamat Berbuka Puasa.

TRUE

Everything must have their place and time..

even the days give ways to the nights.

Time : 10 am to 10 pm

girls! jom jumpa kat sana...

cool

For the last time, my supervisor asked me to follow her for negotiation meeting with supplier, and after the discussion we just had a casual talk. and I, I mean I would never expect to have such conversation with her..but the sentences I remembered she said '' after all, the most important part in our life is, what we bring back home".. I was so overwhelmed..yes, one thing for sure, we will be in touch!

like I said, I didnt plan to write a goodbye message to my colleagues , except for the pixies I attached to them, which I subjected as ''Our Good Times Together" heh.. But I went touring the building and bid everyone..ya you know, each of them..heh..

Remember Pat? had posted about her last couple of months, the moment I met her was the day she came and bid me goodbye, so well..it also happened to me..hehe..and I wonder, would anyone feel the same as I felt before? '' when will I see you again?" *perasan

It was 5pm, unlike any other evening,the sun shines so bright..and the soft golden rays accompanied me back home. I drove very slow *40km/s kot , there were so many 'threads' in my head. I kept on looking the rear mirror, like I would never return..like I was leaving the place, leaving my job?friends? or maybe more than those..I just caught up in my quiet emotions. ..and I wiped a tear drop.

Emotions are crazy things..maybe I think too much..maybe it is just me *bluek

*******************************************

Dont blame the emotions..it is normal to cry sometimes..

*******************************************

believe me, these days treat me good as I have so much to tell but unfortunately so little time to write.

today is my first day at new job..together with bestie Fizah, we manage our booth at Putrajaya..the best part is, we manage our own time..and hassle free! rasa happy je kan fizah..we will have more plan in the future and I shall let the time tells.

and FYI, Kebaya Couture will be at Menara Hap Seng, KL for this weekend and here is the info ;Kebaya Couture

birthday girl

****************************************************

09.09.08

***************************************************

p/s kizzy, its 09.09.08 oredi, next year will be 09.09.09..remember we wait for this date when we were at S alam shah back 09.09.1999!

last day

Tomorrow will be my last day, and I’ll be busy to clean up my files and my PC (packed with personal thingy) So, I better write something here.. Soon, I can turn this page and read again what was my feeling as regards this.

In every situation, there will be a time when you count different emotions. Heh, I caught this feeling when I was asked to fill out Exit Interview Questionnaire. Unlike yesterday, it does sadden me. * tak sesuai.

I joined this company, well I provide you the detailed.. 4th of September 2006. 2 years ago! I never have been in organization for more than a year. *kemajuan. I will miss everybody! (eh, I didn’t plan to write a goodbye message to colleagues tho) I would never find such great supervisor; never yell at me even for my own mistake and defend me for my oversight.

Ok, back to the questionnaires.. I answered it sincerely like

When you started working for the company did you intend to stay permanently? YES
Omg, I can’t believe that initially had my intend to continue and master in Procurement..*konon dulu2

Would you recommend the company to your friends as a good place to work in? YES
In fact I have bring one to replace me.

But I don’t have my concrete reason for the qs of Reasons for Leaving. There are options but it extremely not for

1 Returning to School
2 Family Obligation
3 Retirement and
4 Better Job

..somehow I stared at Leaving State?!! I save this for next year la.kih kih kih

..and surprisingly I cant think of anything I like least about my job..*ape masalah aku arini?

bye bye Pharmaniaga..bye bye UEM..* bye bye superb annual dinner… we have ourselves a set of watches as the doorgift last year, and I gave it to my parent :)

and hello my super fun part..I’m free from 9-5 routine!! kawan2, dah boleh start delete in your phonebox for name entry ernie office ke ofis ernie ke ..

p/s i’ll miss to have my breakfast with k hani at lontong klang

last dinner

* here is the draft post I made before Ramadhan..lupa nak publish

The work always requires him to socialize with people within his field. They have this dinner to celebrate the Road Eng Association of Asia and Australasia, or we called it RE Triple A. This meeting also the reason I had experienced myself to Brunei, last year. So, I have mingled with their spouses and to be honest, I need to practice how to gathered with ladies that much, and much older than me. They talked about;

1. their son; whom my schoolmate! and he called me aunty! arghh
2. their daughter; whom get married in Morocco..
3. the designer label..dush!

When he told me that the dinner will be at the place I never been before, I love to.. at least the food will accompany me.

I was proud with the stage presentation but not the food..anyway, here are the pics..

ntah..tak reti amik gambar..

nice view KLCC

saja buang masa

hari ini macam orang gile, memeras kepala cane nak habis kan masa sebelum 430ptg (bulan posa balik awal..tapi takde la mcm sesetengah yang chow kul 4 tu kan..wahh) dan lagi membuktikan kegilaan, saya dah buat 3 post utk hari ini saja..pelbagai kisah dah di publish, yg sedih, yang saiko..dan yang ni..takde tajuk sebenar..

mungkin..'hari-hari terakhir di ofis part 2'

seperti kegirangan fizaros hari ini , saya pun nak share sama. masuk ofis sangat la lewat, dengan alasan sesat jalan, bolee?? Serius hari ni mencari NPE tak jumpa..jauh tuh dari bangi nak ke shah alam..gile kan travel macam tuh hari2..Silap la kedua bos dah inform tak datang arini, maka ape lagi macai2 pon datang lambat la kan..bawa kete macam makan angin, sampai keta belakang hon..biaq pi!

pastu ada keinginan lagi nak berenti kat BP dekat batu 3, tapi tak jadi la..nanti kena cekup geng mamak lagi 2 orang yang terlepas tuh..weh korang tak baca paper ke?? sib baik tak berada di tempat kejadian

ingin di announcekan pada rakan2 yang taktau lagi, saya kini telah menjadi warga BANGI..telah meninggalkan Hillpark yang tercinta, yang dekat dengan bangsar, yang baling batu je pon sampai Midvalley, yang ade Oldtown, yang sangat berjasa semasa mula2 mencari keja dulu, banyak kenangan kesimpulannya..(macam tak je aku lepak umah fiza petang2 kan..everyday kot jumpa lin, aida ngan fizah kat sana)

dan BANGI, yang terkenal dengan pusat institusi tu..saya terasa sangat tua sebab berjiran ngan budak2 ..laki terutamanya, yang selalu bising..tak reti diam la budak2 skola ni..dush!! terkenang zaman MMU, mungkin kami pon kecoh juga masa tuh, patutla pakcik cina sebelah tuh asik terhendap2 kitorang..haha..haha..

cepatla hari khamis..I mean next week..my last day! lepas ni dah takde la pagi2 kalut2 bawa kete tercari2 bangunan UITM, tak pon petang2 tipu budak2 tu kate dah kat UM, walhal rebung tu pon sayup2 mata lagi..hehe..pasni dah tak lepak bangsar la petang2..dah tak pekena teh la kat kedai fizaros..kalo nk dating ngan the girls tu pon kena heret la skali mr Ir..speaking of mr Ir yang busy ngan MRR2 la ni, lin esok aku g umah ko..fizarosli di jemput skali..kononnye lin ngan aida nak masak.

i reserve

I have given a lot of thought, that how soon it could be over…But, haih..why I always bother myself with some vague emotion… ernie, "if you don't control your mind, someone else will” ..argh, creepy!
And my feeling is always imprecise with the boundaries…If the universe could understand, I might not so sorry.

..*sob

I rarely delete smses, for months or for years..and suddenly while browsing my inbox I found this pitiful message from khairieah

‘the devoted little girl missed her big sister very much when she left home and got married’

ok, she always know how to make me homesick..

happy like a stone

this is one of my favourite..

How happy is the little Stone
by Emily Dickinson

How happy is the little Stone

That rambles in the Road alone,

And doesn't care about Careers

And Exigencies never fears --

Whose Coat of elemental Brown

A passing Universe put on,

And independent as the Sun

Associates or glows alone,

Fulfilling absolute Decree

In casual simplicity

raya itinerary

It's too late or too early for blogging?sedar2je hubby dah kat dapur, and I..seronok pula tengok live terawih from tanah suci ni.

I haven’t experience sahur yet, except for the ‘bekalan’ that he prepared for me, which I will enjoy ‘berkelah’ in my car during lunch break. Ok, I know it! To be honest, I didn’t really cook.. until the new microwave arrived, I have a few recipes on my head..how about lamb grill..* arghh random thought

I’ve been utilized my time in office scheduling our raya itinerary. We had discussed (sangatla) or , it actually my own plan which he terpaksa agree ( applied to all circumstance) and here is our raya itinerary for this year..

29 Sept, we will catch the flight to Alor Setar, to Perlis – Father in Law’s place. This is my first time of being away during 1st raya..sob..sob..Can’t imagine what the girls can do without me..cheh..dear my fren pija, I will miss the raya morning talk..bergayut sampai lemang hangus.. (lemang moden, masak dalam dapur)

Then on 2nd Sept or 2nd of raya, we will fly from Penang to Kota Kinabalu..hehe sehari je..

Lastly, on 6th Sept, fly back to Kuala Lumpur

Hmm..actually, ayah’s hometown is Kedah and Mother in Law’s Kelantan, so we will see what will be happen next year..
