Dear anak-anak,
It's has been ages since I visited this site. Now that you guys can access to my site, starting from today, I'll try to upload recipes for your compilation again.
Cogratulations Sarah for trying out Masak Lemak Cili Api Ketam last weekend. It's not that difficult to cook right? Hope you can graduate to try other masak lemak using the same base and method...

Recipe # 2: Ayam Masak Lemak Cili Api
The specialty from Negeri Sembilan is the masak lemak cili padi, which is a spicy rich yellow coconut gravy that is cooked with bird's eyes chillies. While this dish uses chicken, it can be substituted with prawns or a firm white fish.
Ingredients:
500 g chicken, cut into small pieces
1 teaspoon salt
2 pieces asam keping (dried tamarind slices)
1 cup (250ml) thick coconut milk
2 cups (500ml) thin coconut milk
1 turmeric leaf
Salt and pepper to taste
Spice Blend:
20 bird's eyes chillies
2 cm ginger
2 cm tumeric root
8 shallots
2 cloves garlic
Preparation method:
1. Rub the chicken pieces with salt and let marinate for 10 minutes.
2. Blend all the spice ingredients until fine. Stir in the ground ingredients with asam keping, torn tumeric leaf and thin coconut milk into a pot and bring to a slow boil.
3. Add chicken pieces and simmer until the gravy thickens. Add thick coconut milk and salt to taste.
So, if you guys wants to cook masak lemak telur or daging, you can use these as the base.
Enjoy...

Happy Birthday to me!
Alhamdulillah... I am 44 today. Kalau bapak ada sure pagi2 lagi dah dapat call from him, but this year, lagi teruk... no one from the office even remember my birthday! Only MN jer yg wish me thru email. Hopefully she is sincere lah.
Tak per lah... I am making my plan to move out from this company. I couldn't bear the fact that people hate me for what I do not what I am guilty of. What a mental torture....But then, why should I back-off? Why should I let them bully me like that!
Anyway, semuga Allah kuatkan semangat untuk menjadi ibu dan anak yg soleh....
Wassalam.
P/s: Guess my officemate memang benci I that much... I just do not know what my sins are!

Ramadhan Datang lagi
Assalamualaikum,
I am a little late in updating the blog, but what can I say. Moving to GHR is like a dream, everything is needed all at once! I am like running my a*& off to get what the bosses want. Believe it or not, I am handling the job evaluation exercise for the long overdue promotion & upgrading. The schdule with the kids were quite disrupted as compared to the time when I was in GICT.
Anyway, Ali managed to fast from day 1. He missed the 2nd day, but so far he is OK. He is also officially 6 on the 25th August. We took him to Baskin Robbins to celebrate. How times fly!!
Other than that, I did not managed to cook that much this year. Dah 3 kali clock out from ofiice at 6:30pm! I guess these are the moments that I really need support from my family to understand my career life...
Will keep you posted more, especially the food that we have...
Lastly, May Allah bless my family during this ramadhan. Ramadhan kali ni very much different since Bapak kembali. Tabahkan hati kami sekeluarga. To JJ, hope he will change once and for all. Life is so short to be so 'berdendam' and 'mengungkit'. Just admit your mistakes & change your self. Don't blame others the things that you do....
As for Sarah, hope she will be ready for the PMR coming soon...
Wassalam.

Back to HR & Hanim hospitalized
Sorry for not updating in long time. Many things happen, plus can't get the connection from home! Apalah Celcom...
Updates:
1. I am now back to GHR... looking after OD. The last 3 weeks marks my having to solat maghrib at the office. What have I got myself into??? Anyway, I get my reason for that move. I do not feel at home in IT. I did my part in having the RFP out and went thru the selection process, but I do not feel connected to the project. Susah nak jadi BPIM in an environment that don't really appreciate BPIM role. Anyway, thanks to Zam and Halim for making it bearable...
2. Apparently I came in to OD when we are in the process of group re-structuring! Crash course in Job Evaluation after 2 hours of report duty! I know it's difficult working for Pn Hasnah, but I just want to get myself involve in HR Strategy to ensure that I still can work anywhere after this. Teruk kan? Well... I need to chart my own course. Tak kan nak jadi Manager till I retire...
3. On top of all the hustle & bustle of my HR life, Hanim pulak hospitalized. Her platelet drop to 88 last Sunday. Get her admitted to SDMC. Left her alone yesterday since Rozita wants me to complete the GHR Org Structure and the deployment letters. Sampai office, Rozita was on MC. I was alone 'battling' Hasnah's request. I feel bad for not being there for Hanim. Kena pulak JJ pun ada presentation (in case you wonder what happen to the father). Guess Allah knows the best. Alhamdulillah, she can handle herself quite well. Then today, I decided to be at the hospital and be with her to meet the Dr. Lee. Maybe we can go home after this, depending on her blood result this morning.... not dengue, only a very bad viral infection. Alhamdulillah...
4. I might take the day off. Pergi sekolah Ali & register him for Standard 1 next year. Pergi facial? I really need it! We'll see cam na...
Ta-ta for now.
Bye.
p/s: kalau bapak ada sure dia pagi-pagi akan call. Then he'll call every other hour. I miss him badly. Love you always, bapak.

Birthday Emak
Tomorrow is Emak 63rd birthday. This mark her birthday without Bapak by her side. Mesti sedih sangat. They were always together for the last 44 years...going thru all the ups and downs. There's so many thing that I want to give her. I wish I can take back all the things that happened in her life. I wish I can roll back the clock.... but then it is only wishful thinking!
Dear Emak,
Ampunkanlah dosa-dosa anak mu ini. Halalkanlah makan dan minum selama ini. Doakanlah kesejahteraan anak2 mu serta cucu2mu. Ya Allah, panjangkanlah usia Emak dan semuga kami dapat bersama-sama menjadi tetamuMu secepat mungkin. AMin.

Engkaulah ratu hatiku
Tempat menyatakan kasih
Wahai ibu
Betapa tidak hanya engkaulah
Yang menyniari hidupku
Sepanjang masa engkau berkorban
Tidak putusnya bagai air lalu
Ibu, ibu
Engkaulah ratu hatiku
Tempatku menyerahkan kasih
Wahai ibu...
Dear Emak,
I love you always.

Thinking of You
Lately I have been thinking of someone. This person used to be a very important person in my life especially when I was living in the States. We knew each other when we were doing our English preparation classes in SMS Selangor some 20++ years. He (ooops.. yes its a HE) was (and still is, I hope) my best pal. Our friendship is so platonic and crazy. I argued a lot with him, which made me feel very much at ease with him. I knew almost all of his love relationship, and he will get the reviews of my latest crush! I will not reveal his name considering all the circurmstances ( he probably dah beranak-pinak and happily married).
Listening to Katy Perry's Thinking of You really makes me think of you.
Thinking Of You
[ Katy Perry Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
Comparisons are easily done
Once you've had a taste of perfection
Like an apple hanging from a tree
I picked the ripest one
I still got the seed
You said move on
Where do I go
I guess second best
Is all I will know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What *you* would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
You're like an Indian summer
In the middle of winter
Like a hard candy
With a surprise center
How do I get betterOnce I've had the best
You said there's
Tons of fish in the water
So the waters I will test
He kissed my lips
I taste your mouth
He pulled me in
I was disgusted with myself
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into...
You're the best
And yes I do regret
How I could let myself
Let you go
Now the lesson's learned
I touched it I was burned
Oh I think you should know
Cause when I'm with him
I am thinking of you
Thinking of you
What you would do if
You were the one
Who was spending the night
Oh I wish that I
Was looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Looking into your eyes
Oh won't you walk through
And bust in the door
And take me away
Oh no more mistakes
Cause in your eyes I'd like to stay...
What if I can turn back the clock? Back to 20 years ago. My life will definitely not be the same.
I wish that I can talk to him now, just to say hi! There are many things left unspoken....
But is it a good move?
Anyhow, I miss you, my friend. May Allah bless you with all the happiness that you desired. Hopefully you are one of the best husband and father to all your kids...
