almost missed sahur today!

grrr... don't mess with me


Hampir-hampir terlepas sahur pagi tadi. Sempatlah minum segelas susu, sekeping roti cicah kuah sup dan segelas air masak. Nasib baik sebelum tidur makan rojak Singapore semangkuk. Alkisahnya kami masih lagi berkampung di tingkat bawah. Bila berjerebu ni, cuaca panas. Tidur dalam bilik melemaskan. Kena pulak Iman tak boleh ber air-con. Ummi tidur di antara Kakak dan Iman. Dua-dua ni memang kaki wrestling dalam tido. Abis mak dia ni kena sepak terajang diorang. Tak boleh nak lena. Sudahnya bila alarm berbunyi, tutup balik. Ingatkan nak lelap semula 5-10 minit, tup-tup terlajak sampai 5.30 pagi!

Terima kasih to all well-wishes. Che Abang semakin sihat. Anak-anak pun, despite the haze, nampak sihat. Iman ada selsema tapi from the look of it, tak serius. Anyway, Che Abang tu officially took over the kitchen and does the cooking. Isnin lepas dia sediakan sepinggan besar Kuetiaw Goreng and semangkuk ‘jepuk udang’ ~ cokodok udang. Semalam kami membeli belah di pasar ramadhan di Velodrom Cheras. Sup campur worth RM25 (I told him we need to finish every morsel ~ mahal maa!), roti john, nasi beryani, popia goreng (kakak kata hotdog ada sayur kat dalam), rojak Singapore dan kuih lapis. I have very strong reason tak berapa gemar membeli di luar ~ nampak cam best sangat tapi bila makan, pada kebanyakan masa, agak mengecewakan. That’s why I prefer prepare juadah berbuka sendiri, biarpun cuma ikan goreng dan timun cicah sambal. Walau bagaimanapun, kami ada jugak bercadang-cadang berbuka puasa di luar sebelum balik kampung ni. Just the 2 of us (dating lah tu). As for today, I don’t know what my husband will be preparing for iftar. (He’s still on MC)
(Nota ~ Any suggestion of venue to break-fasting? Somewhere cosy and afforable. I work in Bangsar and after iftar need to get back to Cheras. Should you want to suggest a place, do consider that fact)

Ayam beryani - rather bland to my tastebud. The herbs and spices just didn't mix well, I think

rojak singapore. the spread was quite limited. if not for the overly hot gravy, it'd turn out quite well




roti john (no comment, didn't eat this), kuih lapis (didn't eat this too) and popia (sedap, crispy walaupun agak dah sejuk)




Macamana persiapan Eid? Baju-baju yang dibeli minggu lepas need alteration tapi Ummi sungguh ‘M’ sekali. Yang pending sekarang is a tudung for me, a shirt and pants for Che Abang, a new sandal and jeans for Iman and non-drip tumbler for the kids (tak berkaitan dengan raya ni). Kalau ada rezeki, I want to buy a new pair of slipper/sandal for myself. (HELP!! I’m getting impractical. For some unknown reasons, I seem to need lots of handbags and 2-3 pairs of shoes in black alone and a lot if this and a little of that and a little of this and a lot of that). So, this weekend, MidValley, here we come!!

kak tie, why don't you try singgahsana hotel.. buffet is rm40.. bagi saya, ok la, sebab kebanyakan hotel above rm50 for buka puasa.. such a waste of money

kalau nak beli kasut, beli kat jukebox aja, murah! and baju melayu, my hubby said cari kat jusco, skrg tgh sale.. rm70 sepasang, bukan kain biasa, kain lembut tauuu

aida ~ singgahsana in PJ kan? see lah how it goes nanti. midvalley ada jukebox tak? bolehlah tengok2 nanti. budget pun mmg ada sikit constraint now so anything with huge discounts sangatlah dialu-alukan.

yup kak tie, singgahsana di PJ.. midvalley rasanya takde jukebox, but then, kalau everything slash till 70%, budget lari sikit pun dpt a pair of good shoes, ok ape kan?
