Projects on Sunday

Hmmm too bad my camera tgh rosak. If not, I can upload some of pictures of my projects last Sunday.


It was tiring as I only slept for like 3 hours. But I'm happy. 


1st project - strawberry muffin. I got these little strawberries from Hock Choon. Hmmm nampak je kecik, tapi sebenarnya dah agak ranum. I did try the recipe using canned peach. Since it was a success and since I have fresh strawberries, so why not. Furthermore, I want it to be my desert for my Sunday meal.


2nd project - dinner rolls. Waaaah first time my yeast betul-betul proofed. Tapi sayangnya tertumpah :( Haaaaiii tangan gatal. Tapi my dough still rised beautifully. I'm so excited. Tapi tulah, the crust was damn hard. Well, apa nak kata dah lidah malaysian, memang lah asyik mencarik roti yg lembut manjang.


3rd project - roasted chicken with vegetables for Yanty and family. Dua niat, I told them. Firstly sebab nak berterima kasih pinjamkan kereta tahun lepas. Maakk aaaiihh.. dah dekat 2 tahun baru nak balas jasa tu. Apa nak kata, oven lama result tak bagus. Secondly, nak minta pendapat diaorang. Kiter nak start bisnes kecik2. Alaa home based je. 


I slept at around 3 a.m. Kes menunggu my bread naik. Then 6.30 pagi dah bangun semula utk start roasting the chicken. Very tiring but I'm happy. Dah lama tak spend time alone in the kitchen. 


Next project, cupcakes for my officemate, Emily. Wish me luck!

Happy birthday Ilyas

He's 2 today. Yeay! Perangai sudah macam-macam. Masih belum boleh bercakap sangat. Yang paling cute, kasut dia panggil KAKI! Tak berak pun dia kata "Rak!, Rak!". Gggrrrrrr... Tapi ada masa betul lah. 

Walaupun dah banyak akal, he's actually very sweet boy. Kalau Najlaa nangis, dia cepat-cepat carikkah pacifier and sumbat mulut dia. Kalau kat shopping mall, Najlaa jalan sendiri, dia akan datang kat Najlaa and letak tangan dia kat belakang Najlaa. Sometimes siap pimpin Najlaa lagi.

Tapi, kalau tengah gaduh. Hmmmm.. dialah yg menangis lebih-lebih. :D

Anyway, happy birthday my dear Ilyas. Moga-moga membesar dgn sihatnya, no more hospital ye darling. Moga menjadi anak yang soleh, dan manusia yg berguna. Mummy loves you sooooo much.

Muhammad Ilyas Izzat was born on 26JUN10, 0915hrs, weight 3.65kgs at Hospital Razif, Klang

Baru dapat adik, lepaking kat rumah Mak

Please ignore the surronding. Focus on Ilyas, dah bersiap nak beraya kat rumah Mak

Anak Abah. Pantang dapat buku

My sweet little boy, Ilyas

 

My anniversary present

Taadaaaaaa... inilah hadiah ulangtahun dari Encik Suami. Katanya, lepas ni tunggulah another 8 years baru dapat hadiah lain. First of all, I never asked for present. Second of all, hati sangat-sangat suka, walaupun lepas ni takde hadiah pun tak kisah. Dengan adanya bende-bende ni, harap-harap dapatlah bantu Encik Suami untuk tambah pendapatan keluarga sikit-sikit. Product, belum final lagi. Tapi antara yang masuk senarai pendek buat masa sekarang ni, tat nenas ibu mertuaku. :D

Walaupun bukan branded, tapi hati sgt2 suka. Walaupun dapurku yg sempit, menjadi semakin sempit, hati tetap suka :D

Happy 3rd anniversary

I thought I want to be the first to wish, instead, he called me this  morning and hugged me, and whispered "Happy anniversary, Sayang". :D

I didn't get anything for him yet. I thot of getting shaver, but.. I don't know.

Anyway, he bought really, really big present for me. Dah order, tapi belum sampai je. Kalau dah sampai, I will update here.

Iman Najlaa is ONE today

 Alhamdulillah, Iman Najlaa my second born turns one today. Semoga adek membesar dgn sihatnya, :D dan insya-Allah menjadi anak yg solehah.

Najlaa - 1 day old. At Ward 2B, katil 16.

One year ago, around this time, adek and mummy dah selamat berehat kat wad dah. But I will never forget the experience. Subhanallah.. walaupun ramai doktor yg bebel kat mummy sebab mummy got pregnant less than a year lepas c-section. Special "thanks" to the doc yg kat Metro Hospital, Banting lah kan. Tapi, don't get me wrong, tak pernah terpikir utk "buang" adek atau tak nak terima adek. Mummy bersyukur sangat dapat adek.

Najlaa - almost 3 months

To be honest, it was not the easiest pregnancy. Macam-macam dugaan. Abang Ilyas masuk hospital after one month Abah went for minor surgery lah. Abah and Mummy accident lah. Mummy could not sleep because of severe sinus lah. Kalau dapat tidur pun, tidur duduk. Mummy hari-hari stress, sampai keluar rumah jalan-jalan pukul 2-3 pagi, sorang-sorang. Kesian Abah n Abang. Darah tinggi and kecing manis lagi. Haaaaii.. memang macam-macam.

Najlaa - 6 months. Ini walker kakak Tasha.

Tapi adek, Mummy mintak maaf. Mummy tak jaga diri Mummy masa pregnantkan adek. Mummy didn't take supplement as much as masa pregnantkan Abang. Mummy main telan je ubat selsema. Mummy bantai nenas n coke almost everyday. If something is not right, Mummy is to be blamed. 

At the same time, Mummy wants to thank Adek, sebab "beri" Mummy peluang untuk rasa normal birth. I was worried I could not make it. But it seems, Adek tak sabar-sabar nak keluar, walaupun nurse semua marah Mummy and asked me to tahan until 10cm. It was still 7cm, tapi kepala Adek dah kat bawah. Bila doktor sampai, doktor suruh Mummy push and after 4th push, Adek dah selamat keluar. 

Najlaa at 11 months.

I was sooo happy. Mummy tak boleh tak senyum walaupun sebenarnya Mummy dah hilang banyak darah. My blood pressure was very low. Tapi bila tgk Adek tidur diam-diam sebelah Mummy, Mummy jadi kuat. Alhamdulillah, tak perlu masuk darah langsung. Cuma kena ambik supplement saje.

Bila nak discharged, doktor baby check Adek. Doktor kata Adek ada Mongolian features. Sedihnya hati Mummy. Tapi Mummy takkan buang Adek. Tiap-tiap hari Mummy monitor perkembangan Adek. Alhamdulillah, sampai sekarang pada Mummy, Adek normal. In fact perkembangan Adek is faster than Abang. Adek umur 11 bulan dah pandai jalan. Abang, ngam-ngam umur dia setahun, baru dia jalan. 

Adek, thanks for the experience and sorry for everything. Be good and Mummy doakan Adek selamat dunia dan akhirat, jadi manusia yg berjaya dan berguna. Happy birthday Iman Najlaa Izzat.

One-year-old Najlaa nak keluar jalan-jalan dengan Mummy. Biskut or roti mesti kena ada.Iman Najlaa Izzat, was born on 11JUN11, 0420 hrs, weight 2.96kgs

p/s: nak tau kenapa Mummy letak nama Najlaa? Masa Mummy kat SMAP, Labu dulu, ada sorang senior Mummy nama Najlah. She's sooooo beautiful. Sangat-sangat cantik and her name for me is as beautiful as she is. So I named you after her. And according to my Iraqi friend, Najlaa mean "big beautiful eyes". And yes, you have very very big eyes. Semua orang geram tgk mata Adek. :D

Nasi dagang oh nasi dagang

I had nasi dagang  this morning. I really miss nasi dagang mak cik Ampang Point. That's what I call her since I don't know her name. Her nasi dagang is the best so far in KL. 

I miss her too. Last time, when I was still working at Alif Travel, I would go to her stall with Kak Yang. And she likes to tease us "Haaa tu dia, KEMBAR dah mai.. mana satu kakak, mana satu adik ni?" Errrrkk... of course Kak Yang was so happy because it makes her feel younger. Jarak umur kami 9 tahun, and people would still ask which is the older one. Haaaiissshhh..

Bila lah nak dapat makan kat sana lagi. Ntah ada lagi ntah tidak mak cik tu kat situ.

Maassalamah Tairan Alkhaleej

Today, 24MAR12 will be the last flight for Gulf Air servicing KL-Bahrain route. Sedih? Sangat-sangat sedih. First reason, I feel right now we have the best team. Relationship between my team (reservation) and airport team is at the very best. Airport Manager pun sangat-sangat best. I have been working for 3 airport managers, and the current one is the best one. Second reason, sedih sbb terpaksa lepaskan business Umrah yg kiter rasa sangat-sangat bagus untuk tahun 2012. Third reason, kiter masih tak tau hala tuju kiter lepas ni.


I started when Gulf Air owned by three GCC countries - Bahrain, UAE (Abu Dhabi) and Oman. And our flight from KL will transit in Bangkok before heading to Muscat and Abu Dhabi. Then, KL-Bangkok route cut off, so we were flying direct to Muscat before Abu Dhabi. 


Abu Dhabi pulled out and had their own carrier, Etihad. Later on Oman also pulled out, leaving Bahrain as a sole owner of Gulf Air. 


Looking back, there were times I feel like going to resign. But I'm still here, after 8 years. Climbing slowly until I reached where I am now. I started as Reservation & Ticketing Assistant, and now I'm head of the department.


Oh well, maassalamah Gulf Air. 

Tolonglah Dr

Last Thursday, I went to Klinik Idzham, Taman Kosas. I was hoping to see my favorite doctor, Dr Nazariha. Unfortunately, she was on leave. I totally forgot it was school holidays. 

There's a clinic next to my office but I don't really like going there. It's very hard to hear what's the doctor was saying. He likes to mumble. And since I was really hoping to see Dr Nazariha, so I went off to Ampang.

Her replacement was a male doctor. Dr A. Kamal or something. I don't really remember his name. The moment I enter the room, I felt uneasy. Usually, when I enter doctor's room, he/she will immediately look at me and ask what's wrong with me. At least say something to ack and to welcome me. This doctor? Nothing. I had to start the conversation and I could tell from his face, he was not interested to know further about my sickness. When I tried to explain further (hoping for his feedback based on the symptoms), he immediately "ok I give this medicine, take it accordingly". :O

When I got my medication, I realized something. He gave me Cafegot for migraine, Ponstan for painkiller and there was another one for gastric. I had to take medication for gastric before taking Ponstan. ????? I told him already I have no gastric. And this is my first time having to take gastric medication before taking ponstan. And ponstan didn't work for me. I would take paracethemol!!!! and why give me ponstan when you have prescribed cafegot???

Haiyooo.. if that's the case, I would rather went back straight to Cyberjaya and consult Dr Norlee or Dr Suzalina. 

Moral of the story, kalau kita nampak nama dia kat Klinik Idzham, please canx the visit and drive terus ke Cyberjaya.
