Spagetti meatball Raya tahun lepas, 2011 - Part 2 -

Yup! Indeed! Mesti geleng kepala kan my mum in law kalu tau menantu masak apa.
And i agreed sebab???Sebab sangatlah senang dan tak pernah dibuat orang.(ada kot, tapi not raya pertama la). my BFF theme's sister did but open house la, bukan RAYA PERTAMA ;)

Which I also did from scrap, all those tomatoes, fresh oregano, meatballs, bla bla bla. Fuh! Fenat!
And yang bestnya, 4 pack of San Reno spagetti HABIS! HABIS get it? Licin.
The guests like it so much because something different, something homemade, and something not that "heavy" (since after semayang raya we got jamuan raya di Batalion area).

It was really a good idea, but oh boy I will not repeat same menu this year haha! Time to gear up.

Memori Raya tahun lepas, 2010 - part 1 -


hari ini hari jumaat, mood raya sangat la tinggi hohoho! tapi disebabkan Isnin still keje (halfday) maka mood kerja automatic adalah kelaut! hohoho! Bernasib baiklah boss saya ber base di Philly, bukan Malaysia. Tak pe, tak pe, second week raya pulun cuti habis. *pujuk diri*

Since this raya plan quite lil bit menyakitkan hati since i am supposed to raya KL first, then only Ipoh, now plan bertukar jadik raya KL first day, then petang raya pertama tu shoot ke penang. Hubby is not getting first week of cuti raya eventhough at first he said he'll getting one !Sigh!

Takkan sanggup nk biar cintahati beraya sorang-sorang kan,so being a very good and obedient wife, im coming home to Penang petang raya pertama. Insyaallah. May our plan becoming as what we planned. Amin.

Teringat tahun lepas, that time we newly joined 2 Melayu, so ramai yang stay di kem nak datang rumah. CO baru pun kata nak datang! Kuih confirm la takkan nak kebas tok punya, buat pun takkan buat punya (kata ada 2 anak kecik kan), so we bought yang saploh hinggit sebekas tepi jln,dlm 6 gitu. Bleeuurgghh! Len kali no need to buy. Better beli kekacang dan kerepek saja.Better!Lesson learnt untuk tahan2 hadapan. Tapi ramai ja yang beli itu pasal I dragged him to buy also.

Then part pagi raya meal, sah2 sunat makan before pi semayang raya and orang lak nak datang kan,being me i never ever cooked (ALONE) meal raya. No, left alone I cooked. I rarely cook,being full time housewivfe 4 years hubby need me more to tend the kids and him.I cooked but not so much :(
So cooking part was more on stall bought.
All those rendang ketupat nasi itu ini N.E.V.E.R. GULP!! I asked for mum's recipe of kuah kacang and boiled some nasi impit (4 freaking hours?????).
Not easy you know, dengan hubby pi takbir rumah ke rumah, aydan and auny with me, rasa nak nanges since I handled all things from scrap! Kacang saja my mum dah siap bakar,lain sendirik!Teringat balik put smile to my heart, tapi still geram since him cannot bring those two along. Gedebak gedebuk masak sampai almost 3 am kot! My mistakes.

Mum already warned cook after Isyak, so that you have more energy and better yet you can adjust here and there, but degil punya pasal, masak start at 12 midnite mcmtu, because I assumed hubby kan balik masjid ambil anak2. Tidak! Sendiri padan muka hehe.
And thennnnnnn takkan la kejam sangat nk hidangkan itu saje kan?kan??

Hubby suggested (the eve of raya - noon) to cook my specialty (sangatlah!!), I raised my eyebrow and he convinced me hey why NOT?

Wait until I let u know what he asked me to prepare!!! Part 2.

merepek

Eh! lama tak blogging, banyak nak cerita, tapi macam biasa tatau macammana nak cerita atau cane nak luahkan. Ramadhan alhmdulillah dah yang ke 15, lagi 15 gayanya, makan pun macam biasa-biasa saja takde teringin yang pelik2 (tidak pregnant), cuma emosi tu DAMN! amatlah menyinga bila ada benda tak kena atau tak ikut spesifikasi. Husband is being away for nearly 3 weeks, but alhmdulillah God made it easy for us,he took leave until Thursday (kot) and as he said, wanting to spend quality time with you and kids auuuwwwwww.

Which we did, pergi shopping raya, balik Ipoh, jalan2 Ipoh sampai muntah and balik KL,pusing2 KL mcm orang mabuk jam 1 baru blik rumah.summore with 2 kids!
Workwise?
Hum, susah nk describe, keje so-so, not too much but only from 10-20th reporting need to be done for 9 countries altogether, dapat lak boss yang amat sporting berpengkalan dia philadelphia nun, lagi la flexible meble hari2 banyak ample time.
BUT........kena pandai allocate time, if not you'll hook on internet, which is nanti balik rumah pening kepala sakit mata sebab byk sgt "membaca"....**
I love my work at HP, i love the environment, the collgs, especially the flexibility, but what i dont love is the future...

a lil bit hard to "see" future in my jobscope.

Tapi setiap benda yang terjadi ada hikmahNya, i believe that, insyallah.
TQ ALLAH.

bye. Dah jam tatau nak tulis apa.
