Buka Puasa Meal....

Just felt like posting what I ate during 'Buka Puasa' today. Once again I'd like to say.... Nothing beats mum's cooking.













p.s. Last picture : I fried those myself.... hehehehe....

Back For Raya....

Hello all.

Guess where I am right now…. Yup, I’m already at my hometown in Kota Bharu. Reached here on late Saturday morning after departing from Puchong around 4 a.m. The journey was ok with nothing much happened. The kids (my niece and nephew) were mostly fast asleep and so does their parents. Lucky I got my mp3 player to keep me company the whole way.


This coming Hari Raya absentees from the gathering would be my second oldest sister and her family. They will be celebrating Hari Raya with her in laws in Kuala Lumpur. So does my big brother. He and his family will also be celebrating Raya with his in laws in Klang. But none the less it does not make this year’s Raya less interesting. Probably all of us are already used to having only parts of the whole family together for Raya since a very long time ago.

I was discussing with Ma what to cook for Hari Raya this year. Ma was suggesting we make Nasi Minyak. I think we should too and to top it off, I want to make my ‘never missed every Hari Raya’ satay. She thought that would be great too. Usually the satay will be finished by us and the guest by the second day of Hari Raya. High demand I suppose or maybe it’s just simply delicious. Only people who had ever taste it would know.

Later today I think I’ll be heading for the nearest local shop to get myself some ‘Minyak tanah’/gasoline for the ‘pelita’/oil lamp to be used by the kids for lighting up the house outer surroundings at night. It would look nice I’m sure and furthermore the kids would surely love it. They can even use it to light up their fireworks I suppose. I do remember those days when I was still in primary school. My little brother and I would save our daily allowance money to buy different kinds of fireworks. Mind you at that time fireworks is still legal for sale. We would buy a different type on each day starting from the first day of fasting until the last. Imagine how many fireworks we do collect by the end of those 30 days! Then we will light all of those fireworks on the eve of Hari Raya. Our house would be the most light up, loudest and smokiest house in the whole neighborhood. That was a really fun time.

Well, I guess I catch you guys later. To all my friends, have a wonderful Hari Raya. To any other people who is reading this blog whether you’re a Muslim or not, Selamat Hari Raya too. I just wish you guys are my friends too. If there is time, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to update this blog with things I will be doing here before Raya came. See you guys soon. Take care all, chiiiiiiiooooooooooooowwwwwwwwww………………


p.s. Above is the notebook I'll be using for all of my computer needs while I'm here.

Selamat Hari Raya....


Selamat Hari Raya To All.... May Your Syawal Be Filled With Happiness And Joy....

Fasting So Far....


Last Saturday I went to 'Restoran Tasik Indah' in Shah Alam to break fast with about more than 20 of my old school friends of 'Sekolah Tengku Muhammad Faris Petra'. We all had a great time. It's was more a get together catching up on news thing rather than a formal 'berbuka puasa' function. We spent most the time there talking about our current situation and some of us were even able to get few business opportunities (including me). It's nice to know that you can still rely on your friends of 15 years for anything, and so are they on us. To be honest, we never did lose any contacts throughout these years. We stick close together and try to meet one another at least twice a year. I think we are very lucky to have one another all the time. We even have our own official website for our batch. Do check it out. It's a place where we the batch of 90-94 of STMFP get in touch with each other. http://www.farisian.com.my/

Did nothing much today. Spend most of the time watching TV. Was able to catch the live telecast of FIM World Motorcycle Championship in Istanbul Turkey. Though Rossi only get the 2nd place, but the race was great including the 125cc and the 250cc. All the riders were battling their hearts out on the new track.


Everybody else went out to break their fast today. So I'm left alone at the house. Around 5.00 p.m like that, I went to the kitchen trying to find something to cook for breaking fast today. It's been a while since a cook myself a decent meal. Well, eventually I got all hyped up about it. The cooking I mean. I end up making special fried rice, my special 'daging goreng serai', mushroom soup, ulam-ulam and a sweet caramel for dessert. Well, I ate my heart out during breaking fast though it was kind of sad that I am eating alone. But anyway, as long as my stomach is full nothing else did matter. Was kind of delighted to be able to cook something today. Can't wait to cook something else next time and I hope I won't be preparing it for just me alone.

Next week will be the last week of working before Hari Raya. I'm just counting the days now until the time I'll be able to go back to my hometown for Hari Raya. I think before going back for Raya, I will settle few payments which need to be done for the month of November. Then I'll be able to prevent myself from overspending while I'm at my hometown. Well, you know, there is a lot of interesting stuff in Kota Bharu.... Hehehehe....

Well guys, see ya round. Have a great week before Raya and for you guys who will be driving long journey back to your hometown, do drive carefully. It is better to be late than never. Take care all.... Chiooooooooowwwwwwwwww...........

p.s. Balik kampung nanti, bole masak-masak ngan mak. Best GILEEEERRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

Feeling Sleepy....

Aloha....

Time to write something here and I'll try my best to make it interesting for as far as I can think of, not much interesting thing did happen to me or thought of by me. So, bear with me for a while okay....

(As so you guys know.... I started to write this post at 8.15 a.m. But I felt sleepy so I took a quick nap which lasted for 3 hours...hehehe... got woken up by a delivery guy who rang the door bell to deliver the ever awaited Home Theater that I've order more than a month ago.... only now I'm able to continue writing this post after I just had finished setting up all the equipment...It's 2.48 p.m to be exact)

Last weekdays nothing much did happen during the weekdays. Most of the time was spent working and came back for breaking fast and at night played with the computer till I fall asleep. And the same thing happens the next day, and the day after next and ......

But only one thing did play inside this head of mine throughout the whole week. Somehow few days back (the whole last week actually) I kinda felt sleepy most of the time. I slept a lot, I laid back a lot. Keeps me wondering, is it because of the fasting or it there is something wrong with my body. Even like this morning, as I have told you guys earlier, the nap thing. A nap would not take you 3 hours. I think it's the diet maybe. The type of food I’m consuming the last few days. I don't eat rice much. I ate a lot of meat both red and white. Most probably I am low in carbohydrate. Well, anyway I’ll make sure the next couple of days, I’ll be eating more rice and stuff. Just to see what happens. If I’m getting energetic again, then the problem is fixed.

Well guys, I think that will be all for now. As I told you before, nothing much to blog about. Do check out the links for Afdlin Shauki 'Baik Punya Cilok Showcase' and his release date for 'Buli Balik', the sequel for his previous movie 'Buli'.... I think I’ll be going for the showcase which happens just after raya. See you guys there then. Adios........



p.s. I just bought myself another book, 'The Da Vinci Code, Special Illustrated Edition (Hardcover)'. Can't wait to start reading it. (I will always try to finish reading the book I bought earlier then after that only I will start reading the book I bought later. Just to make it fair for the books... hehehehe)

Last Week : Day By Day....

Hello there….

It’s nice to write something to you guys again…. Hope your day will be fine and dandy all the way…. And to all Muslims….. Have a great fasting month…..

Last Monday I finally went to the car workshop to fix that dent I’ve told you guys before in my previous blog. Went to the office first as to settle some of the jobs for that day. Reached the workshop around 11 a.m. I had to wait there as nobody was available enough to pick me up and I just don’t want to bother anybody anyway. So I waited there waiting for the car to be fixed until it was finally done at around 6.30 p.m. After that I just head straight home. Was totally satisfied with the workmanship. The dent was gone totally and the touch up spray paint was perfect. All in just for RM100. If you guys have any future dealings involving body works for you car, just go to Taman Seri Muda, Shah Alam and look for the Lik Sim workshop there. You won’t be disappointed.

Tuesday, work was like usual. Had to go to sites starting from Seremban to Ayer Keroh. It was raining the whole way on the highway but everything went fine. Reached home around 8.30 p.m and after dinner I went straight to bed. Tired probably.

Wednesday was the first day of the fasting month and lucky enough the work load that day was not that heavy. Able to finish all the stuff quite early, and head home right away to avoid the massive traffic jam. On the first day of fasting my body will react in almost the same way each year. I will have massive migraine just before the break of fast and I cannot eat so much or I will vomit. So, this year it all happened again and as usual I will react in the same way. Nothing can be changed I think. It’s just how my body works probably.

Early morning on Thursday I was unable to get up from bed. I was having this awful migraine attack and I cannot even open up my eyes. Call my boss on the phone telling him I won’t be able to come to office today. He was cool with it. I think he understand well of how I felt at that time for he knows that I do have migraine attacks once in a while. Stay in bed for most of the day. Was only able to take the pills after breaking fast and went to bed again after that. By 10.00 p.m the pain was gone and what a relief it was to feel sane again. Hehehe….


(Just to tell you guys, at this moment of writing I am listening to ACDC - You Shook Me All Night Long…. ACDC ROCKS!!!!!)

Friday nothing much happen. Eh.. wait… The is just one thing, as I came back from work, I stopped at the ‘Pasar Ramadhan’ in Kelana Jaya near the Tabung Haji place. Stumble upon an old friend of mine. He told me he just got a new baby girl on Wednesday and his wife is still at the hospital there in Kelana Jaya. Was so happy for him. Again it hit me, most of my friends are either married, getting married or making babies. When will be my time? I am just too envious of them.


Saturday I woke up late. Just felt like it. Went to Subang Parade to break fast with few friends of mine. We ate at Nando’s (been wanting to eat there for quite some time now). And after prayer as everyone else head for home, I went to MPH to just browse for any good books around. Stumble upon Frank McCourt’s : ‘Tis. The sequel to the ever popular, one of my favourite books Angela’s Ashes. Without hesitation, bought the book and just can’t wait to read it. But only after I’ve finished my current book I’m reading right now, Peter Macinnis : Poisons. Later that night caught the live telecast of England vs. Austria on the telly. Poor David Beckham, got sent off on the second half. Anyway England won 1-0 thanks to a penalty by Lampard. After the game I was still feeling very much awake, so I pop in the ‘Joe Dirt’ DVD. Nowadays I only felt like watching only comedy movies. Donno why. Action adventures, romance, thrillers just felt not that appealing anymore.

Well, that almost sums up my week. Hope you guys haven’t fallen asleep yet reading this crap. Hehehe…. As the Spanish said, ‘el comos den tintiato, mucos gracias del monte sos tomato’ HAHAHAHAHA….. (I am not making any sense at all here…. Hehehe) … Adios amigos……

p.s. I am drowning in anger for the fact that I don’t have enough money to shop for Hari Raya stuff. Crap…

The Balik Kampung Trip, New Notebook & Final Piala Malaysia....



Last Weekend I was at my hometown for my younger brother’s engagement thing. The trip was ok except for a minor accident that happens on the way back to my hometown. Because it was raining all the way (up from we left the house until we reached Kuala Krai), I accidentally hit the curb after the Karak Highway toll plaza causing my lower part (where they put the side skirt) just below the right passenger door to be dent. Had already asked the workshop of how much it would cost me to fix it back. He said it’ll be no more than RM100 and will be finished in just a day. Well, though it was not good news, but nevertheless the cost of fixing it was not that high.

The trip back was not all that ‘incident free’ too. My niece vomited on the backseat of the car as we about to reach Gua Musang and my nephew too vomited luckily outside of the car while we were stopping for solat. All and out, the trip back was ok.

From Monday till Friday, work was as usual. Nothing much did happen except for that my computer (a Pentium 233MMX, with 64MB EDO RAM, 16MB VGA Card, 1.2 GB Hard Disk and a faulty LPT port hehehe ; still wonder how I have achieved so much work using this outdated, Jurassic era PC…) that I’ve been using since I had joined my company is going to be sent to the ‘junk’ item list and will be destroyed. Then to replace that, my boss gave me a Fujitsu Lifebook S6010 with 1Ghz Pentium III processor, 512 RAM and bla bla bla…. (Still outdated for a notebook but I’m not complaining…. At least I got one for free hehehe….) Work computer task wise today, was never this fast and easy…

Last nite I went to the stadium to see the Malaysia Cup Final Football Match between Selangor and Perlis. I sat with the Perlis fan. Reason, being an independent observer that nite (went there just to watch a football match) I made a decision that since Selangor fans was already filling up most of the seats at the stadium (majority of it I guess was Indonesian…maybe) why not give the Perlis an extra supporting voice…. A gesture went pointless as Selangor won 3-0. I had already left the stadium at the 80th minute mark (never get to see the 3rd goal) as to avoid the massive traffic jam. Was able to catch the 2nd half of the live telecast match between Fulham and Man. Utd as I reached home after that. Lucky Man. Utd did win for I don’t think I can’t take 2 defeats in one nite from 2 teams I support, that nite … hehehe….

Today I had the time to finally clean the vomit stain on the backseat of my car. Used the ‘STP Tuff Stuff Multipurpose Foam Cleaner’…. Guess wat, it works. No more stains. End up cleaning all the seats in my car including the foot carpets and the carpets in the trunk…. Hehehe….

Well, that’s all I think…. If I had something worth blogging about, I’ll be jotting it down soon enough. Till then…. SELAMAT BERPUASA…. Assalamualaikum

Double Meaning Children TV Show....
