It's Ramadhan Again...


Today is the first day of Ramadhan, which means the first day of the fasting month for Muslims.

Yesterday, on my way back to office, I made a short trip to Jusco Supermarket in Mid Valley Megamall to buy some food (and I had two things on my mind all along, one type of fish and 1 tray of chicken wings)… I drove through the heavy (massive!) traffic along Jalan Bangsar (because I came from Jalan Semantan, headed towards Jalan Mahameru and exited at Jalan Bangsar) and I looked at my watch, it showed 6.15pm – damn! Right at the peak of rush hour…. What was I thinking??? My car was literally crawling and I think I was 2 seconds away from going nuts. I stopped by KL Sentral to pick up my husband and off we went to Megamall.

Well, parking was easy… of course not everyone was as insane as me. Who wants to drive to this area during rush hour?? Me, of course! Remember I told you that I had only two things on my mind? I ended up buying twenty… still number 2, but with a 0 (20).. hah! Talking about shopping list, how we need to control our spending, always buy what you planned to buy, bla bla bla… they don’t and never apply to me, ever! So, I grabbed 2 trays of chicken (wings and drumsticks), giant sized prawns, fish, all types of veggie that I could lay my hands on, green peas, minced mutton and my husband got a box of Honey Oats cereal for himself. Well, had to make this trip worth the journey.

So this morning I got up at 4am, went down, fried the chicken and fish, made some sweet & sour sauce for the fish, cooked the veggie, went up to wake up the husband & daughter, came down again, ate diligently (need to make sure I filled up my tummy sufficiently or I’ll be like a rotten vegetable all day), drank, cite the ‘doa’, washed the dishes and went up again. My daughter who is turning 8 this December was eating with her eyes half closed (poor thing! But need to train her early). It was already 5.15am when I jumped into my bed again for a short nap while waiting for my alarm to go off again at 6am.

That will be the ritual for the next 29 days of my life before Aidil Fitri comes around… yeay!!!!! Soon, I’ll be busy baking cookies and cakes for my customers (hmm… money, money, money……) Yes, I will snap some shots of the cookies and cakes to showcase here.

Till then, Selamat Berpuasa to all and may we be blessed with all the good things during this holy month of Ramadhan.

Signing off……….

Hilang

hadirnya tak pernah diduga tidak juga diundang terus mancarik dan merobek koyak tak pernah sekali pun  dirawat dibiar bernanah sampai bila? sinar terik  yang bisa mencairkan  malam yang hitam pekat  yang bisa menyesatkan harus tidak mampu  menyuluh jalan pulang mungkinkah  ini telah dijanjikan seperti nukilan yang tiada penghujung seperti irama yang tiada noktah haruskah pasrah?

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

Antara Anyir & Jakarta

I’ve been making regular monthly trips to KLIA since my husband was posted to Jakarta last year. And yesterday….. again, I made my ‘latest trip’ there to send him off (after the recent trip that I had on 3/3/06 when I picked him up from KLIA to spend his 10 solid-days holiday with me and the kids here in KL). Time sure flew fast when you wished for the earth to stop and let you enjoy your 10 days just a little bit longer. Nevertheless, the ‘most awaited 10-days’ was over…..Nik is now back in Jakarta and I’m now back in my office, sitting in my chair, swiveling around every 10 minutes, gazing lazily at the workload dumped on my desk and trying very hard to find every energy stored in my body just to touch those piles of paper…. argh! But the 10-days period was spent joyfully. We took the weekend off last week for a quickie getaway at Cyberview Lodge Resort & Spa…. and oh boy! the resort is spectacular and the view is breathtakingly-beautiful. Of course, the children were the happies...
