MamaFaMi kembali ke FB? Briyani Rice & Beef Briyani

C.E.R.I.T.A M.A.K.N.E.N.E.K

Hari ni nak menceceh dalam Bahasa Malaysia....

MAMAFAMI AKAN KEMBALI KE PANGKUAN FACEBOOK?
Wah, betul ke? Bila?
Entah!
Habis tu buat apa tulis yang kat atas tu, huruf besar pulak tu!
Gini......

Tersebutlah kisah.... Beberapa hari yang lalu, masa mama bersembang dengan Mat Gebu, dia ada beritahu yang Ben ada buat entry untuk mama. Rasanya mama terlepas pandanglah tu sebab Ben ni punya entry, bukan main banyak lagi satu hari. Mama ni nak buat satu entry satu hari pun, sesak nafas! Jadinya mama pun jalan-jalanlah ke rumah Ben Ashaari. Jalan punya jalan, terberhenti kat sini.

Mama Rock eh Ben... ha ah, rock punya pasal, tu yang jadi berat tu... hahahaha.... Tapi yang paling tak tahan, soalan maut Ben tu.... "Mama, mana FB?". Ini tanya ikhlas ke perli ni... muahaha... ada ku kesah?

Sebenarnya, orang yang bertanggungjawab menjerumuskan mama dalam FB ni ialah si Ben Ashaari ni la.... Dia bagi baikkk punya promosi sampai mama leh cair! Sebenarnya betullah apa yang Ben promosi tu, tapi disebabkan mama yang silap kendali kemudi... terus tersasar dari landasan... sampai terlupa daratan! Hahaha. Tapi nasib baiklah cepat kembali ke pangkal jalan, itu yang membuatkan mama 'merehatkan' akaun FB mama sehingga suatu ketika yang sesuai.

Sampai bila?

Wallahu'alam

Congrats Nora & Deno / Sayur Campur ala Kjee

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Last Saturday, we went to my relative's wedding in Johor Bahru at the Dewan Jubli Intan, Jalan Ayer Molek. It had been years since I went back to Johor Bahru. And it had been ages since I last meet most of my relatives (mom's side). We reached there around 12 noon. Not many guests had arrived that time. Mostly were relatives. And from my table, I was more interested to see who were in the hall rather than the delicious food served.

Time really flies... I am embarrased to say that some of them, I can barely recognised. Once, I was sitting at the reception area, this nephew of mine came and greet me, cheerfully. And I did not recognise him. I was saying to myself, hmmm such a nice guy to ask my whereabouts. After a while, when we were outside, waiting for the bride and groom to enter, I was with another niece of mine. And along came that Mr Nice Guy. I whispered to my niece, who is that guy and she said... kan Achai tu! OH MY GOD! Is it my eyes or he had changed? Well, the answer is... he had changed to a bigger size.... just like me... hahahaha... Sorry Chai, tak kenal masa Acai salam... sebab dah comel sangat... hehehehe....

To Nora Zainab Mohamed Ariff and Deno Aswal Abdul Rahman, congratulations on your wedding. Marriage is not only the beginning of a relationship but also the end of a life long search for the other half of your soul. May both of you live happy ever after....


Ya, you looked gorgeous my darling! Bertuah abang Deno mu.
Yed, thanks for the photo ya..

Chinese Fried Rice

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Sometimes, just a simple gesture by somebody, can make us happy. This morning, when I was driving into my car porch, from far, I saw this one Chinese uncle doing his morning walk. I thought he would just pass my house without stopping. But soon as I've parked the car, from the rear mirror, I saw him standing across the road opposite my gate. And when I came down from the car, he waved and with such a merry voice, greeting me GOOD MORNING. We just had a small talk before he continued his morning walk. That few minutes is just enough to make my day! Thank you Uncle.... nanti I belanja nasi lemak okay...


T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

Spaghetti Seafood Marinara

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

At times, when I do my groceries, this question will pop into my head. Does other people do the same as me, counting everything that I take? For example, if I wanted to buy prawns, not only will I choose the good ones and the large ones too, I will also count the numbers of prawns that goes into the plastic. I think I am allergic to numbers.

I can still remember, when I was much younger, I used to follow my mom to the market. And when the shopkeeper is calculating (using a calculator) the total amount, I, at the same time was doing mental maths and will be very proud enough if I win. Nobody knew what I was doing and nobody needs to know. It's just for my self satisfaction! Hahahaha...

So, is there anybody as weird as me, counting almost everything that is countable? Hahahaha.....

Note :
Please feel free to read about POINTS ON HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE in my other blog


T.H.E R.E.C.I.P.E

After looking at Nor Secubit Garam's photo of her Spaghetti Marinara, I paid a visit to Ayu's blog as Nor said she took the recipe from there. And after reading the recipe and found it very easy enough to prepare as it's similar to how I normally prepare my bolognaise, I went 'fishing' in my refrigerator and in my 'cute pantry'. Yes... it's MISSION POSSIBLE! I have most of the ingredients... and wallah... it's a right decision to make. Even my mom enjoyed her bowl of Spaghetti Seafood Marinara. Thank you to Nor for 'torturing' me with your photo and to Ayu for sharing this lovely recipe with us. I'll post the recipe according to how I had done it.

Had been sleeping late these past few days. Bad girl I am, yes.
FB?

Hihihi... I got carried away reading a Malay novel by Areila Sahimi entitled Baju Pengantin Mak Andam. You can read the synopsis here.

When I read a novel, I will always put myself as the main character in the book, hence the feeling of happiness, the sadness, the tears, the anger and everything that the character carries. Am I being :

a. over-react
b. over-sensitive
c. silly
d. all the above
e. none of the above

You tell me.... :D

Pucuk Paku Goreng Belacan

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Have you ever felt yourself being like a GOOGLE SEARCH? If so, how do you feel?

I had always feel like I am a GOOGLE SEARCH. Not only to my family but also to my friends. At home, whenever someone can't find their stuff, they'll start asking...ma, did you see my 'this and my that' or... ma, did you remove my 'this and that' that I've kept in the cupboard. Oh my God... When I told them to look for it properly and using their eyes and not their mouth, they still couldn't find it. But when I asked them, where they last placed the stuff, and I looked at that spot, in less than 5 minutes, the thing is there... !

And with friends, they always ask me stuffs that actually I don't have any idea what's going on. But they know I'll provide them with answers and they are happy enough to accept it. For example, a friend will ask, why is this fellow driving like a crazy lunatic... and yes, she expects an answer... so I gave her one.... That fellow is in a hurry to go to the loo. She's happy with that... hahahaha....

Frankly speaking, it's tiring being a human google search!!!

Ayam Lemak Merah dengan Carrot

T.H.E R.A.M.B.L.I.N.G.S

Hi there! Anybody miss me? Ahahaha... as if! Doubt anyone actually realise that I had been missing from the blogging world for almost a week. Hahaha... Anyway, let me just tell you why I had not been around much....walaupun tak ada orang tanya, tapi sebab mama ni peramah, mama nak citer gak... tak kira....

Besides, being hectic with everyday's chores, I had not been cooking much. Didn't try any new recipes last week and I am out of source to post. But those were just excuses... the fact is, I got carried away watching YouTube. What did I watch? Penganten Remaja featuring Christian Sugiono as Fabian and Alyssa Soebandono as Amel. What actually attracted me to watch is Fabian *wink* *wink*. Hahaha... pecah ko rahsia mama... But frankly speaking, can't stand the annoying Eric and Bu Farida.... maaf pak, maaf bukkk.... hehehehee.... Thank God I'm done watching the movie and I think I am going to rest for a while. Had enough for the time being... And owh... I've finished watching Safa dan Marwah too... Alhamdulillah... I'm free now!!!

I can now sit back and enjoy my novel....Baju Pengantin Mak Andam.......
