Bring Back Ferris To Malaysia

Apakah perasaan anda, sekiranya anak yang dikasihi dibawa pergi, tanpa khabar berita dan entah di mana dia berada. Kalau ditanya mama, pasti jawapannya, hancur luluh hati ini dicincang dek tajamnya rasa rindu. Tetapi begitu berat hati membaca, berat lagi jiwa yang menanggungnya.

Di dalam salah satu komen di entry-entry yang lalu, Kak Rina (mohon maaf kerana tidak dapat linkkan ke blog sebab mama tidak punya URLnya) ada menyentuh tentang kisah sedih penulis Elis Mokhtar dan anaknya Ferris. Mama terpanggil untuk mengetahui cerita selanjutnya. Justeru mama telah mencari di dalam google. Tatkala mama membuka blog Elis, kedengaran lagu yang sungguh mendayu. Sambil membaca bait-bait bicara di dalam blognya, airmata tidak mampu ku tahan....

Untuk mengetahui dengan lebih dekat, silalah ke blog beliau di BRING BACK FERRIS TO MALAYSIA.

InsyaAllah akan mama dapatkan novel hasil nukilan Elis, walaupun mama tidak tahu samada hati ini kuat untuk membaca isi kandungan novel tersebut.

Mama juga memanjatkan doa kepada Yang Maha Esa agar segala urusan mu dipermudahkan dan semoga Ferris akan selamat kembali ke pangkuan ibunya yang tercinta, Elis Mokhtar. Amin.

Untuk sinopsisnya, bolehlah dibaca di sini.

Daging Masak Hitam

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

I must have had such a good sleep yesterday. At 6 am, I woke up after the alarm that I had set in my handphone started screaming. Woke hubby up and after he had left for work, I continued my sleep. I didn't realized when I had off the other 2 alarms that I had set. I dreamt, I met up with a group of my ex-schoolmates when I was sweeping a room in a shopping complex. What on earth was I doing, sweeping a room in a shopping complex!!! I am not a cleaner, am I? Hahaha... When I opened my eyes, it was 7.26 am! Boy did I jump out of the bed! Not only me, my dear boy had the same impact! I am very sorry Boboy. What a lousy mom you have! He was ready in a jiff and had to F1 to school. But guess what, we weren't the last to arrive though the time at my dashboard was showing 7.36 am. There were another 2 cars driving in to drop off their children...

Yesterday when I was enjoying my time ironing, I was thinking whether to cook or buy takeaways for lunch. At the very last minute, I made up my mind to cook. When I thought I had nothing to cook, surprisingly I ended up with these colorful menus. Alhamdulillah....

I had tried a recipe from Kak Liza's 1Hari 1 Resipi book. Thank you Kak Liza for sharing the recipe with us. Allow me to re-post it here for others to view. That book of hers is worth keeping. Not only it provides you with easy and simple recipes but also it 'served' you with mouth watering looking food.

Cream Puffs

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

Hubby was on leave yesterday. We had things to settle. We thought we had only one thing to settle but it turned out, we managed to settle quite a lot. So it was a very rewarding day yesterday, alhamdulillah. Among them, I managed to register my daughter in the MOHE system. That was very challenging to me because being a first timer, I was totally lost. But then being me, I would find ways and means to get it done. Only thing I had to bear is the tense. Once that was done yesterday night, I felt like a huge boulder was lifted off of my shoulders. What a relief! And when hubby asked me to join him for tea at the kedai mamak, I gladly tagged along! I had teh tarik kurang manis and thosei! Lovely!

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

For today's recipe, I will post the Cream Puff recipe which I've tried from Allrecipes. I've adjusted slightly the recipe recommended by Sharifah Aliyyah Albukhary, but didn't really jot them down. Perhaps, I will have to try baking them again soon, insyaAllah. Thank you again Aliya for digging the good recipes and sharing it with others.

4.Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until golden brown. Centers should be dry.
