catatan sebelum tamat 2012


Holaaa….


Dah nak sampai ke penghujung 2012…
and what a year it was for me!

ada cerita sakit mata lahhh
ada cerita kena kritik nazir yang meroyan lahhh
result UPSR yang menurun lahhh
karam kat sungai lahhh
kena black-out lahhh
haiiiii…macam-macam!
Tapi, sebab I ni optimis sangat,
I tak kesssssaaaahhhhh
dengan masalah!

Alhamdulillah, 
I’m surrounded by supportive people;
my family and friends! 
Through the medium of facebook and blogger,
my personal ideas became impersonal; 
as I share my thoughts and ideas with you.
Terima kasih, kerana sudi melayan catatan ngok-ngek i. hehehe….

Terima kasih untuk 2012
(kesian doomsday preppers! Hahaha…)
and get ready for 2013!
Smile!

my coffee style

very black coffee...my style
hehehehe.....


in a cup, pour half a cup of boiling water 
to two tablespoon of coffee powder. 
wait for...say, ten minutes; 
for the coffee powder to release its aroma. 
then, add more hot water. 
NO SUGAR! NO CREAMER! 
just drink the coffee on its own. 
and don't bother to filter the coffee, 
just drink it straight with no filtration...
fiber......

best taken with a piece of toast, 
or with some cream crackers. 

enjoy!

jemput makan : BINGKA LABU

i nak bagi international flavour sikit 
blogpost i yang ni....
apalagi, tentang makan laaa!
hahahaha....


okay, what you're looking at the top 
is a picture of a special kind of cake/pudding
(hehehe...cake-slash-pudding)

this is Bingka Labu
or to put it in English Language;
Butternut Squash cake....
this one is quite traditional...
so, i can't say much about it.
but, according to my observation, 
the ingredients were :
grated butternut squash (hence the name!)
coconut milk
flour
sugar
- pardon me here, 
i don't actually know the amount of each ingredient
or which ingredient goes in first...
- but to put it easily, when the batter was already mixed, 
it was then baked in an oven.
something like that.........hehehehe

yummm....
it was really good!
particularly  as a midnight snack!

jemput makan : WAJIK

makan lagiiiiii.....
tak sudah-sudah...
hehehehe.....



ni dia...
wajik, fresh from the kuali (wok)
sticky glutinous rice cooked with 
coconut milk and palm sugar....
best eaten warm....
with a cup of mildly-warm tea.
good for breakfast or brunch...
or; as for me; anytime!

FABRIC : friends in the dark

i'm one of those people
who likes to sketch....


and here's one 
created a few months ago...
depicting the ambiance of darkness
but warm and friendly....

jemput makan : 紅龜粿

haaaa....
masakan Cina kerrr? 
yapp...ni kuih tradisional Cina....
teruskan membaca.....



紅龜粿
or Ang Ku Kue as it was known in Chinese
is a wonderful kueh...or dumpling.
nowadays, this kueh is a favourite not only among the Chinese,
but also to the Malays, Indians and many other different races in Malaysia....

in Bahasa Malaysia, 
this kueh literally means 
"kuih kura-kura merah" 
or "red tortoise dumpling" in English. 

this kueh is made using glutinous flour, 
and for the filling...
it can either be sweetened red bean paste 
or groundnut paste mixed with white sugar.
the red colour comes from red food colouring. 

i love eating this kueh....
because of it's sweetness and stickiness...
hehehe..or maybe because it is red...

jemput makan : ROTI BAKAR

roti dibakar sekejap...
kemudian disapukan mentega kacang,
serikaya dan mentega....


kemudian roti bakar ni ditunangkan lagi 
dengan secawan kopi O kaw....
haduiiii.....memang best laaa....

sebab itu laaa
kebanyakan penduduk Sarikei kata
"roti tunok Aik Seng nang nyaman ehhh...."

beeeest....

- you guessed it - tennis balls!

BAKSO is originally an Indonesian recipe,
but it has a hint of Chinese influence...
the word "bakso" is a twist of the Hokkien words
肉酥 - pronounced as 'bah-so', meaning shredded meat. 

well, bakso is usually served with noodles or vermicelli, or sometimes kuey teow
and always in a bowl of beef broth or soup. 
this bakso that i'm featuring is available at 
Popular Food Court in Sarikei....




best eaten during this rainy season!

makan lagi...inilah dia, KOMPIA

makan lagiii.....tak sudah sudah.....
sik alah - alah...kata orang Sarawak....

well, i nak share info about this very wonderful treat...

these are KOMPIA.....a Chinese traditional bread. 
you might wonder..."bread...why so small meehhh...?"
well, bread doesn't necessarily have to be big, enuff said!

kompia is a very simple bread,
it can be eaten with different sauces or dip...
it can be eaten with rendang, curry, tuna spread, 
coconut milk custard (serikaya laaahhhh!)
chilli sauce, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, 
thousand island dressing also can...
sweetened condensed milk also can....
albeit..it can be eaten just as it is....

yummm...

thank you to Ati Mamora 
for allowing me to use the picture....
hehehehe.....

jauhnyeeee...dari Vietnam kerrr?

hehehehe...
ketandusan cerita semenjak dua-menjak nih....

okehhhh...biasanya kalau i ketandusan cerita tu..
i akan cuba mulakan dengan cerita makan-makan
and...since this is a free-style content based blog...
i don't feel that sharing information about food 
would do anyone harm!

amboiiii...berhabok speaking LONDON gitewww.....
kejap lagi berteraborlah grammatical errors nyeerrrrr!

okay lah kak Munah oii....ni i nak cerita dah...
sebelum balik bercuti hari tu, 
i bermalam dahulu di Kapit....sesaja...
and bila dah bermalam di Kapit tu...
i biasanya akan melepak bersama family Kakak Ross. 

pada malam tu, 
i ajak lah kakak Ross and laki dia 
pergi melepak and makan malam bersama.
laki kakak Ross pun bawaklah makan 
ke satu tempat yang best sangat.
tapi, spoil pulak, i tak tau apa nama tempat tu....
diaorang cuma kata tempat tu lebih dikenali sebagai 
"tempat makan dekat Jabatan Laut"
yang peliknye...Kapit bukan nya tepi laut! aneh!

menu banyak yang jenis lazim jerrr....
nasi ayam goreng laaaa
nasi goreng ayam laaa...
nasi goreng belacan laaa
mi goreng laaa...
nasik ayam penyet dilanggar lori laaa....
typical sangat...

tapi ada satu yang menarik perhatian i....
macam resepi best jerrr...
tapi i yakin sangat tak ramai yang suka...
tapi for me, it was the best!
memang puas hati...sebab rasanya menarik sangat. 
it was NASI GORENG VIETNAM....
tengok jerrr laa gambar kat bawah ni....

sedap, sebab nasinya digoreng dengan kicap manis, 
sos lada hitam, sos tomato....
dan ada cebisan ikan bilis yang digoreng rangup!
tapi yang buat best adalah, 
nasiknya digoreng bersama bunga kantan!
itu lah yang best nyerrrr........

anyway, kalau ada peluang, 
memang i akan cuba lagi nasi goreng Vietnam nih...
best sangat!

mukadimah: 
don't hate me 'coz i'm beautiful
but hate your boyfriend 
because he thinks i'm beautiful
(statement datang gila meroyan! hehehehe)

Sabahan Troll...very funny bah ni....

honestly....
i had a great time 
looking at these funny cartoons. 




click on this link to join their facebook page....
SABAHAN TROLL

adab sebelum makan


adab yang baik memang perlu diamalkan
sebelum makan terutamanya...
betui tak?

good manners are essential...
even before a meal....
rite?

kalau dulu-dulu, sebelum makan, 
duduk berkumpul baik-baik...
then baca doa sebelum makan
then lafaz bismillah....
kemudian baru makan......
makan boleh guna jari/sudu/garfu/pisau/chopsticks...

kalau zaman sekarang
semua nak kena ambik gambar makanan dulu....
betui tak? hahahaha.....

i tak mengutuk sesiapa....sebab
i pun buat perkara yang sama. 

first impression yang salah!

kelmarin menghadiri kursus/seminar di Kapit...
tak lah boring sangat, 
sebab 60% dari isi kandungan kursus 
was about the teaching profession, 
or more accurately, 
the profession of English Language teacher. 
ambikkkk engkau! hahahaha...

well, tak perlu sangat laaa 
i nak kongsikan apa yang dikursuskan tu kannn...
sebab boleh mengundang kebosanan 
dan penyakit menguap-nguap yang melampau!
nanti lari bertempiaran pulak semua pembaca blog 
i yang ceria laksana mentari pagi nih!
(motif riak! hahahah)

well, apa yang i nak kongsikan kat entry kali ni 
adalah tentang my innacurate perception of people. 

semasa berkursus tu, 
i got to know a few people...
tapi harus i nyatakan di sini, 
persepsi i terhadap seorang rakan cikgu 
yang turut sama berkursus dengan i masa tu 
was totally berubah. 
mulanya, i sangka that teacher was 
sombong, snobby, unsociable, 
perasan/berangan bagus K-Pop kunun-kunun....
rupa-rupanya very friendly.....
and some what chatty...
sehinggakan i pulak yang tak terlayan 
dengan ajakan berbualnya itu!

he was quite friendly
and was polite...
and his command of Bahasa Malaysia was excellent, 
walaupun he was formerly an exchange student 
(study kat Australia youuu....kelezzz engkau Senah!)

so, in the end we chatted...
ataupun berbisik-bisik sebenarnya....
sebab takkan nak berborak besar suara lah kannnn...
tak pasal-pasal kena HALLOOOO keluar lepas tu!

so, i nak pesan kat diri i sendiri....
to always have a good expectation towards people.
sentiasa berpandangan baik terhadap orang lain. 
gitewwwww......

sorry, takdak gambar untuk kawan baru i itu...
dia penyegan jugak rupanya....
kerrrrr....dia perasan lagikkkk yang dia tu 
ala-ala K-Pop RAIN gitewww...
eh..i mengutuk lagi kerrr?
tak, dia tahu yang i gelarkan dia sebagai RAIN Malaysia.
