~ moving on.

 Assalamu’alaikum. Resipi kedua yang nak aku abadikan dalam blog rojak ini adalah Udang Kam Heong, versi Cik Puan TPJ. Udang sebolehnya guna saiz XL ke atas, kalau nak betul-betul macam makan kat restoran, gunakan Udang Harimau Poket Menangis. Macam biasalah, kena expect kepedasan lebih daripada biasa dah namanya versi aku, kan? Marilah kita sama-sama menipiskan kulit perut. Bila dah ada menu Udang Harimau Poket Menangis ni atas meja, tak perlu beriya buat sayur apa bagai, cukup dijodohkan dengan broccoli ataupun cauliflower rebus. Less is more, guys! Kita jumpa lagi, bye for now. ~ Nai @ Tak Pe Je.

Assalamu’alaikum. Sebelum aku start berkejaran dengan puing-puing waktu, molek rasanya kalau kita borak pasal resipi special sempena Ramadan kali ni. Special sebab aku yang masak dan solat kat masjid dah rapatkan saf. Bagi aku itu sangat special news, alhamdulillah. Maka dengan itu tanpa membuang masa, kita mulakan dengan penuh gaya bagaikan diva!  1- Seekor ikan kerapu (dilumur, dicelup dan direndam tepung jagung/gandum + garam secukup rasa). Belah tengah dan goreng lautan dalam, maknanya minyak biar panas membara, hapus tenggelam ikan.., melimpah ruah seperti kasih Baek Yi-Jin terhadap Na Hee-Do.  2- Untuk kuah yang bakal disiram atas ikan yang siap digoreng, mayang halus mulus bak kulit wajah Ko Yu-Rim tanpa pori-pori bahan-bahan berikut: (a) Selabu bawang putih; (b) 5 ulas cili padi; dan  (c) 2 ulas cili besar.  - Tumislah ketiga-tiganya sekaligus sambil pakai mask sebab weh… menusuk ke hujung nostril anda!  - Dah nampak bertukar warna bawang putih itu, masu...

One thing about me is that I don’t know how to give up. That includes love, for once I do there wouldn’t be any end of the road to it. I just don’t undo love, sorry not sorry!  And this young man right here, who grew up under my nose, has given a new meaning of holding on to love in my dictionary. Just as God sent him to be the reason behind every decision, contemplation, consideration, negotiation, imagination et cetra et cetra, he has become the reason I smile for every blood sweat and tears of life.  I pray to God for the longest years possible to keep witnessing him chase his dreams, that’s my ultimate dream for the longest time. So help me God! 

Assalamu’alaikum. It’s been while, huh? Here’s to the long absence of any update, let me compensate with some diamond collection of Semporna island. We didn’t get to spend more than 3 days and 2 nights there but with little time we had, we did quite a bit of island hoppings here and there.  Timba-Timba was the best in my humble opinion, and of course you’re free to differ. The weather was so good that enhanced every other thing around, flipping over our hearts without any caution statement given. So the least that we could do was smile ear to ear, falling helplessly in love with the panoramic view. It doesn’t take a genius to notice what love would do to someone, it’s too plain not to see. The first time we visited Semporna was in August 2013, leaving our son at home. Almost a decade later we brought him along, one day after he finished his last SPM paper. What a way to release stress, right? And I could make full use of one of my skirt extenders, layered above the oh so tight beac...

Assalamu’alaikum. So let’s enjoy every little thing we have in this world, shall we? Like when you accomplished something, how about getting yourself a pair of new boots for work?  Last time I checked, my black boots from a Lois jeans shop in Jalan Tunku Abdul Rahman have aged ever so gracefully without any companion nor competitor. It’s been plus minus a decade or more, but only recently I bought a new pair at AEON AU2 with of course friendlier price tag. Looking at the finishing especially the glue around the boots, I don’t think they’re going to last that long. But then again, why bother? Take one step at a time and worry not about the future, well not too much, anyways. Here’s to more productive steps ahead!
