Sabtu:
As at 730am, laundry checked, ironing done, lantai dah bersih disapu & mop...sgt efficient rasa...maklumla bgn kol 5am di pagi weekend :) Pukul 8 lebey, abah thrown the idea of going to IKEA...mak ape lagi pantang diajak :p So ke IKEA lah kami dgn hajat hendak membeli beberapa brg. Lepak kat sana dari 1130am-430pm...tapi hasil kurang memberangsangkan. Ada yg out of stock, color yg diidam takder, dan macam2 lagikla. Ape yg best, sekotak kek Almond Daim ditapau pulang nyum nyummm. The kids enjoyed themselves very much, especially si adik yg 1st time sampai IKEA. Lari ke sana ke mari, amik itu ini, menonong je jln tinggalkan kitorang. Malam pula, kami ke kenduri kawin cousin ku di sg besi indah...mujurla dekat je dari rumah...penat banget ari tuh.

Ahad:
Langsung tak keluar rumah. Lunch masak ayam masak merah (version takde cili kering, so tak pedas ok) + telur mata kicap. Dinner cuma nasi goreng tomyam+drummet+kek DAIM as dessert. Tgh mlm dalam pukul 1am aku start cirit-birit+loya2...aduss apela yg tak kena nih. Kuar masuk toilet lebih 10x kot sampaila ke pagi tadi. Pukul 7am ku muntah satu round....bdn pon lembik. Yg pelik, pruzz tak kena pulak....so ku rasa mungkin spaghetti kelmarin yg ku mkn time breakfast tu culprit nyer huhu.

Hari ni monday...ku on mc. Baring je dari pagi ke petang....lembik betul badan rasa. Dahla doc kasik ubat charcoal kaler hitam tuh....isk langsung takleh telan rasa nak termuntah bila tgk....mintak2 esok sihat amin......keje berlambak2 ni huhu

ad-hoc vacay

2009-11-06T12:03:00.004+08:00

Suddenly the idea popped up when i drove to the office this morning.

Since we'll be celebrating our Raya Haji in KL, am sure it'll be good if we can go elsewhere right after 'makan2' di pagi raya tu, to just spend a night out of the bustling town...:p

Got 3 options in my list at the moment:
1. bank negara resort - should my bro wants to join
2. Tiara Beach - considering idlan loves the kids pool very much
3. The legend water chalets - never been here but based on review from its websites, ahh ku jatuh cinta pandang pertama at their range of chalets....ade jacuzzi you!

Pepe pon definitely it's going to be PD...senang dan dekat!

ultraman

2009-11-03T15:47:00.002+08:00

baby blue ultra ni baru baik dari cirit-birit...3 hari jugakla kena...
camner tak kena infection, almost everything yg ade depan mata mesti masut mulut :p
2-3hari lagi akan masuk setahun tiga bulan..cepat je masa berlalu.
Bley tahan ganas...dan suke cari pasal. Apa yg abang pegang, itula yg dia hendak.
Takmo mengalah plak tuh ...sigh sigh*

Si red ultra nih baru pegi jumpe dentist sabtu lepas.
Gara2 terjatuh kat school, dia kata sakit gigi kat depan. Risau nyer pasal, abah bwkla jumpe dentist. Alih2 ade 10 gigi yg berlubang!
Doc cuci2 gigi tuh, dan cuma berjaya tampal sebatang jer...sbb dia takmo duk diam...ngilu kots!
Kos tampal je dah RM45/sebatang...kalo 10....tak ke haru tuh???
(*kata si abah, klinik tu agak canggih, equipment dia pon agak high-tech...after tampal terus dia
spray2 kasik kering terus simen tampal tuh...hmmmm)

the precious 30-minutes

2009-10-30T23:54:00.006+08:00

Imagine you're given only 30 minutes to prepare and cook dinner for your family.

What can you slot in within the timeframe given?

Monday- i made a simple yet 'yummylicious' vermicelli pasta in carbonara style. Done in less than 30 min, thanks to the readymade Dolmio Mushroom & Herb sauce, i just got the onion, chicken, crab stick and button mushroom sliced thinly, fry until cooked, add in the sauce....siap!

Tuesday - we had cucur 'sempoi' as dinner. Why sempoi? sbb cuma bubuh carrot, telur and togeh, couldn't find daun kucai and udang kecik at the nearest groceries shop :p

Wed- Vermicelli pasta goreng lembab....this time i make sure all the ingredients are ready in hand, as such the output pon sgtla marvellous, at least to our tekak la :) Most importantly, takder rasa kapur mee basah tuh hehe

Thursday - was thinking of having either spaghetti bolognese or toasted bread stuffed with egg and sausage. Bukak fridge tgk tomato puree already expired, opened up the freezer tgk sausage dah abis rupanyer huhuhu....so last2 mkn ape? maggi goreng cepat dimasak sedap dimakan+ayamas chicken ball. Heaven sungguh hehe....hubby ku tak makan dah sbb dah kenyang mkn food meeting ptg tuh.

Friday - sgt malas ari ni...coz i just bought croissants, muffin, apple pie, etc from la boheme jusco MV during our lunch time. Obviously the 30-min rule doesnt apply this time :p

My point is, we can actually cook something for the family within such a very limited time, provided semangat rajin tu ader hehe. Like my case, i reached home around 6pm, tak bukak tudung, terus marched off to kitchen dan bersilat, i've to ensure everything is ready by 630pm, then turn on the engine again to pick up the kiddos. Bila si kecik dah balik rumah, i literally can't move much since firas will cry his lungs out upon seeing me out of his sight, even in a minute...teruk sungguh.

Well, the second point is, why i can't be rajin at all time? kenapa mesti selective, kadang rajin kadang tak? sigh sigh :)

of breastfeeding....

2009-10-28T08:16:00.001+08:00

Recently my daily output has come to the lowest level ever, since we got back from Singapore. Most of the time I’ll be only getting 1oz per day. It doesn’t help much either when firas refuses to nurse direct, and I notice he prefers bottle-feeding above all sigh sigh*. He’ll bite when I ask him to latch. Obviously I don’t get the chance to nurse him, even once a day. I guess that’s the reason why the supply drops, particularly because the bre*st doesn’t get enough stimulation huhu. Sedey banget rasa wei! Nonetheless I still bring the pump to office, pumping regime continues as usual, only that I’ll pump twice kalo rajin…if not sekali jela.

Day 3:
Lepas breakfast kami ke Mustafa Center right opposite the hotel. Mall ni dibuka 24hr, macam Mydin di KL sbb sumer brg dijual kat sini, nak yg branded ader, yg murah2 pon ader. Mustafa ni indian-muslim, mmg kaya banget kot sbb dia ade shopping mall, ade travel agency, ade foreign exchange, ade jewelleries....bykla chain of stores dia ader. Kat sini aku sempat sambar sandal adidas ($21) and kasut snoopy firas ($21), kasut power rangers idlan ($21), and walking shoes utk diri sendiri ($16.50).Pruz beli cap, and office shirts. Umi beli kasut. Emm tu je kot yg dibeli sepjg 3 jam kat dlm mall tuh. After that check out hotel, berjln ke city square lagi skali utk lunch di KFC. Rasanya semua fast food kat singapore ni rege dia double from KL. Utk kita rasa mahal la sbb duit depa lagik mahal from ours, tapi utk derang, rate tu kira murah la kots. Then amik cab utk terus ke airport.

Tu jela citer cuti kali ni. Overall okla, cuma penat sbb kena usung stroller/dukung firas, then nak handle perangai si abang yg sibuk complain penat jln, demand nak itu ini..memacam lagikla mujur umi ader utk tackle idlan....kalo idak mahu stress kitorang. Transportation di sini sgt efficient, taxi sumer guna meter, MRT sgt laju and cepat, town sgt bersih, jln malam rasa secure mmg tak takut langsung, cuma yg tak best currency derang mahal, so time tak sales ni tak bestla sbb taleh shopping byk benda hoho. Lenkali sape nak pegi better time GSS ker, krismas ker....confirm happening especially kat area orchard tuh. Ku upload sket antara gambar benda2 yg kami beli di sana...enjoys! Souvenir yg paling ku suka, gambar & fridge magnet yg dibeli di underwater world, 2 pics + 2 magnet for $35. Mahal kan tapi bukan senang nak dpt fridge magnet gambar diri sendiri hehehe

Singapore: 22 Oct

2009-10-24T13:50:00.016+08:00

Day 2:
Lepas breakfast (provided by hotel) kami terus jln ke MRT, beli tiket ke Harbour Front station. Dari situ kami amik Sentosa Bus utk pegi ke Sentosa Island. Entrance to Sentosa $3/ticket. Stop dekat Beach Station, and kami naik Red line bus utk pegi ke Underwater World (stop at Siloso point). Entrance ticket: $22.90 adult, $14.60 kids. Almost double the price of Aquaria kan sgt mahal! Tapi considering idlan nak sgt2 tgk fish dan alang2 dah sampai sentosa masuk jela. Dlm waterworld firas tertido halfway, dah penat sgt. Waterworld dia biasa2 jer, lebey kurang Aquaria jugak...besar pon lebey kurang kots. Lepas amik gambar, kitorang amik bus utk ke Dolphin Lagoon, malangnyer show dah habis. Time sampai sana dah pukul 12noon, sedangkan show start pukul 11am. Kecewa gak tapi nak wat camner. Then amik bus lagi turun di Imbiah Lookout, and amikla gambar ber'background'kan the Merlion. Then kami naik Sentosa Express (aka monorail) utk kuar dari island tu, dan turun di shopping mall Vivo City. Lunch di Secret Recipe, rege sgt mahal, more than double compared to Malaysia hoho. Kek dia $5.20/slice, so after convert RM12++. Lepas lunch, kami naik MRT utk pegi ke Arab Street (station Bugis). Lepak2 dan solat di masjid Sultan, kasik recharge dulu sbb penat jln. Niat di hati konon nak shopping chiffon kat arab st, tapi rege cam mahal jer, paling murah $10/mtr, baik pi beli kat Jakel je hehe, so langsung tak beli pepe kat situ. Atab St ni lebey kurang cam Jln TAR. Along the road penuh dgn kedai kain, carpet, souvenirs, etc. Then kami masuk ke satu shopping mall dekat situ, tapi tade pepe yg menarik. Dlm pukul 5pm++ minum ptg di Restoran Zam Zam pekena murtabak singapore, restoran yg sgt direcommend oleh forumer. Seketul murtabak besar (share 3-4 org) $6, mmg sedap dan kenyang! Lepas tu terus berjln ke Bugis Street (ala2 petaling street) utk cari souvenirs. Beli fridge magnet 4 for $10, t shirt 3 for $10, and keychain 6 for $3. Umi plak beli wallet. Tak lama sgt jln kat sini, sbb bising dan rasa cam pening dgn ramai manusia. Then pegi Bugis Junction mall right opposite bugis street tuh, rasa tenang sket dpt duk dlm air cond hihi. Aku just beli handbag, tu pon sbb tgh sales. Hari dah mlm, kaki dah penat...terus amik cab balik hotel.

Singapore the 'Green City': 21 Oct

2009-10-24T13:16:00.007+08:00

Bear in mind all rates quoted in SGD (1SGD=RM2.45), so do your own calculations yer hihi.

Day 1:

Sampai di S'pore around 11am, terus bergerak ke Aspinals Hotel for check-in. Kami naik cab from Changi Airport, taxi fare $18.20. Hotel tu located in Little India, literally across the 24hr shopping mall, Mustafa Center. Disebabkan check-in time pukul 2pm, kami just tinggalkan luggage di lobby hotel. Lunch dekat lobby, menghabiskan nasi lemak (RM9), satay set (RM10) and oriental noddle (RM9) yg diorder dlm flight tadi hihi. Lepas lunch terus berjalan kaki ke MRT Farrer Park, beli tiket ke stesen Orchard ($2.30/ticket). Di Orchard Road, kitorang berjalan from one shopping mall to another....sangat letih sbb along the road ade byk giler malls. Memang tak masuk sumer la sbb penat. Kami sempat masuk ke Wisma Atria, Takashimaya, Lucky Plaza, Isetan, Tangs...and apetah lagi tak igt :p Singgah kat Mc D pekena choc sundae and strawberry milkshake ($6). Aku beli perfume hugo boss dekat lucky plaza right opposite the Mc D....forumer byk recommend beli dekat situ..mmg murah compared to malls lain. 100ml for just $49, sgt berbaloi! Di Tangs idlan merengek mintak beli mainan, so umi belikan mainan power rangers 2 set ($16)....tgh sales, so kira murah gakla compared to price kat kl nih. Petang balik hotel, kaki mmg dah lenguh yg amats. Kesimpulannya brg2 kat orchard agak mahal kalo bukan time sales...so baik shopping kat kl jer :p Lepas solat Maghrib kami gerak kuar mencari dinner, akak kat hotel tu recommend restoran mamak deret hotel kami. Order capati, roti canai and rojak singapore. Rasa biasa jer, kuah rojak agak manis...tak menepati citarasa kami. Time dinner firas dah tertido kepenatan, idlan pon ngantuk dah...tapi kami paksa dia jalan gak hihi. Pas dinner kuar round ke shopping mall dekat hotel, City Square. Tapi sempat round kejap je sbb idlan dah bising tak larat nak jalan. Last2 kami pon jln balik ke hotel. End day 1.

countless attempt

2009-10-17T07:26:00.003+08:00

It took us more than 2 hours just to get this shot. Puas dipujuk rayu, nangis, ngamuk and akhirnya tertido. Finally this one precious shot was captured right after he woke up from sleep...alhamdulillah berjaya jugak even tho tak comey :p

Anyway we didnt want to put too much hope, takut sedey kalo terpaksa cancel. Accomodations still unchecked, i guess we'll wait towards the very last minute baru book kots. Ramai tak tahu yg aku warded balik last sat-tuesday. Asyik on off jer kan....letih pon ada. Further firas is now down with fever...asyik cranky jer. Let's just pray he'll settle down by next tuesday....kalo idak burn jela tickets tu huhu

2009-10-08T07:38:00.003+08:00

Safely back at home yesterday. Alhamdulillah, the ERCP procedure went smooth, removal of stones done as planned, and no more abnormalities observed within the duct. Dr Ong gave mc till today, and that allows me to bake something for my office jamuan raya tomorrow :) I'm thinking of bringing cheese tarts, but let's see whether i'm 'rajin' enough to prepare the pastry hihi.

We (read:me n hubby) are having dilemma, whether to go to s'pore on the next 2 weeks or not. Tix have been bought since early tis year during AA's promo, but considering the H1N1 case, we ought to think twice about it. To be frank i couldnt get more excited when thinking about the impending trip, after all it's going to be our first plane-board this yr, and of course firas's 1st experience. We still haven't book the hotels, lucky enough i already made some research on the interesting spots to go and have them jotted down in my diary.

so friends, should we proceed with the plan or not?
blank la huhuhu.....

home leave

2009-10-06T00:04:00.005+08:00

Isnin - As scheduled, aku menyerah diri utk diwardedkan pada hari ini. Memandangkan aku sihat walafiat dan perut alhamdulillah ok, aku dgn sopan santun meminta pada doc utk tak payah diwardedkan. Boleh tak saya puasa kat rumah je doc? Doc yg puas hati dgn tahap kesihatan aku pon dgn baik hati cakap...you kena warded, sbb nak buat blood test dan x-ray, after that petang saya kasi you 'home leave'. You boleh tido kat rumah mlm nih. Esok pagi pukul 8am datang balik arrrr. Yeszaaaaa riang gembira toksah cakap la nyeh nyeh. Blood test result alhamdulillah semuanya back to normal...berat pon dah bertambah jadi 47kg :) Pukul 6 lebey, pruzz datang amik ku di hospital. Dan after Isyak, kami bersambung jalan raya ke 2 buah rumah jiran lagik ekekeke. Memang rezeki ku lah dpt join derang sumer jln raya lagik malam ni (mujur dr Ong tak tahu hoho lagipon doc pesan suruh puasa after pukul 12 malam). Ada 2 family jiran ku sound nak dtg beraya ke rumah kami malam ni sebab kelmarin derang tak dpt join. So aku pon goreng jela karipap dan popia frozen utk jamu derang sumer. Pukul 11:45pm semua tetamu beransur pulang....dan lepas basuh pinggan2 sumer, ku menaip entry ini hihi. Bila bersalaman dgn derang, sumer perasan jarum IV berwarna biru di tangan kananku...hehe terpaksala citer kat derang yg aku warded pagi tadi....balik rumah ptg tadi, esok pagi masuk ward balik. Bila difikirkan kelakar pon ader....pepe pon sebenarnya aku sedikit cuak bila memikirkan procedure pagi esok...harap2 semuanya berjln lancar, moga Allah permudahkan segalanya.

So esok pukul 11am ku akan disorong masuk ke bilik procedure.
Next update tunggu yer :)
Gud nite semua!

Cerita raya lagi....

2009-10-04T22:46:00.011+08:00

Jadual weekend kami padat dgn jalan2 raya. Alhamdulillah dpt bertemu rakan2, jiran dan sedara mara+menjamu selera dgn juadah yg lazat2 belaka :)

Jumaat- Malam tu kami ke rumah ex-ofismate ku Aida di Puncak Saujana kajang. Aida baru pindah rumah…rumah pon cun melecun! Sempatla jumpe dgn few bebudak 1090 mlm tu. Balik rumah dlm pukul 930pm gitu, kami sambung jalan raya di rumah jiran2ku…bermula dgn rumah Isma, then rumah Seri, dan akhir sekali rumah kak Kherry. Balik rumah kol 12 malam! Firas pon first time tido pukul 12ish..mlm tu siap bgn 2-3x sebab ngigau…penat sgt kot huhu. Idlan plak sibuk main bunga api ngan geng2 dia kat luar rumah. Actually tradisi beraya ke rumah jiran2 ni mmg dah start sejak 2 taun lepas…every year kami akan take turns ‘open the house’ utk geng jiran2 yg terdekat…adelah dekat 12-15 buah rumah kot in total.

Sabtu – Pukul 7am dah start masuk dapur buat cheese tarts & cream caramel. Tgh hari ke rumah jiran di depan rumahku Aida. After that pegi beraya ke rumah abangku di ampang jaya. Niat di hati nak bawak kek, tapi tak larat nak buat mlm tadi….mujurlah adik iparku sudi tolong buat muffin kelmarin thanks eh unda! Jalan punyerla jem teruk hari tuh…ramai org kuar beraya kots. Ptg otw back kami singgah ke jusco beli sedikit brg2 utk masak sbb mlm tu turn rumah kami pulak kena serbu jiran2 tetangga :p Aku masak sempoi jer…spirals Bolognese & carbonara. Selesai masak and solat maghrib kami sambung beraya ke rumah jiran Sherry. Then derang sumer serbu umah kami. Tetamu terakhir balik dlm pukul 11pm lebey….lepas kemas2 pukul 12am baru tido…penat giler ari tuh.

Ahad- Masing2 bgn lambat today…aku kol 830am baru bgn. Lepas breakfast & iron baju, dlm pukul 11am bergerak ke rumah umi di ampang. Umi wat mkn2 sket sempena kami anak beranak berkumpul kat sana. As for myself kiranya ni la baru nak beraya dgn family sendiri. Umi masak punyerla byk…nasi putih berlaukkan gulai nangka ikan masin, butter prawns, ayam goreng rempah, telur puyuh cili, stew daging & ulam-ulaman. Dessert plak pudding roti….sian umi ku kepenatan sampai tak lalu nak makan. Bila kami balik baru lah umi makan…tu pon dah almost 4pm. Balik rumah siap tapau lagi lauk pauk..so dinner selamat tak payah masak hihi. Malam lepak kat rumah jer….idlan siap tanye malam ni tak pegi jln raya ker? Akakaka anakku dah syiok berjln malam :p

Esok malam (isnin) jalan2 raya ke rumah jiran akan diteruskan, tapi aku tak dpt nak join sbb kena warded ke KPJ balik, selasa akan undergo another ERCP procedure utk take out the remaining stones yg masih tertinggal. Alhamdulillah puasla dpt berjln raya before kena warded hihi…doakan procedureku berjaya ye kengkawan :)

enjoy the pics!

2009-10-01T08:25:00.001+08:00

Few of my friends asked whether I still breastfeeding Firas.

Yes the journey is still on…though the facts that I already supplement him with formula ever since I got admitted into hospital last month. When I was on MC, the pumping routine continued as usual since firas was sent to nursery during daytime. Now that I’m back into office, the regime stays the same only that I do it twice per day. At most I’ll get 10oz in total, so Firas will be taking 2 bottles of EBM and 2 bottles of formula at the nursery. I notice he doesn’t favor the taste of the formula, in another way I’m glad that he still likes my b**ast. Or could it be that the dutch lady 123 doesn’t taste as good as what his brother is consuming (that is enfakid haha :p) So far his bowel movement is good… no problem to pass motion unlike Idlan who persistently having the constipation problem years ago that resorted us to finally changed to Enfa.

So adik, so long as you stay active and healthy, kita remain dutch lady je la ok? Besides you‘ll continue benefitting from your mama’s precious milk so long as the production is there insya allah :)

Citer Raya

2009-09-28T10:31:00.002+08:00

Salam frens,

Ramai yg masih dlm raya mode ker? Saya dah selamat bekerja hari ni…first day at work after a month on mc. Ofis agak lengang, ramai yg masih bercuti rupanya.

Citer raya? Alhamdulillah sgt meriah kali ni. 8 hari kami di kedah..mmg raya sakan. Everyday kuar berjln raya melawat sanak saudara. Yang dtg beraya ke rumah pon ramai…ade yg sampai pukul 9.30pm pon ader. Penat mmg penat, tapi best…lagipun anak2 semua sihat dan cergas…so fikiran pon tenang jelah. Firas sgt behave bila pegi beraya ke rumah org…ramai puji dia baik…suara tak berbunyi. Tapi kat rumah, masya allah kaki penjerit sungguh! Tak dapat sesuatu benda dia jerit, jatuh sket jerit....sket2 jerit je keje dia huhu. Idlan pulak syiok sakan berjumpa dgn cousin2 dia Aiman dan Haikal. Almost everyday pegi rumah derang…main robot la bunga api la…sampai lupa mama ngan abah dia. Kat rumah tok, remote astro dia yg control, pagi ke petang sokmo tgk cartoon network...sampaikan merajuk2 bila abah nak tukar channel. Pagi2 naik motor ronda kampung dgn tok wan….sampaikan ade one day tu kaki dia terkena ekzos motor, so balik kl ni bawak balik parut la sket :p Today tak pegi nursery, sbb kaki dia masih berbandage takleh kena air.

Saya pula Alhamdulillah sihat walafiat sepanjang raya ni…ketupat rendang sumer saya jamah, tapi dalam kuantiti yg sedikit jela…mujur perut ok :) Berat pon dah bertambah ni hehe. Sebelum pulang ke kl, FIL ade bwk saya berubat cara kampung dgn seorang ustaz ni….harap2 dgn izin Allah gall stones yg masih tertinggal dlm bile duct saya dpt hancur, or makin mengecil. Hujung minggu ni, baru berpeluang beraya dgn ibu bapa, abang dan adik saya di Ampang…tak sabarnyer!!! Gambar raya…tunggu next entry okeh…tak bwk card reader la pulok.

balik kampung jom....!

2009-09-16T16:48:00.003+08:00

Rasanya dah ade kengkawan yg sudah mula bercuti raya. Ada sorang kawan saya tu siap cuti 2 minggu lagik tu sbb bibik pulang ke kampung halaman :p

Di kesempatan ini, saya sekeluarga (pruzz+yati=idlan+firas) ingin meminta ampun dan maaf di atas segala salah silap kami, andai terlanjur kata, terkasar bahasa dan perbuatan, minta dihalalkan makan minum kot terlupa nak cakap, dan segala-galanya la zahir dan batin yer.
Yang pulang ke kampung, drive safely, berhati-hati di jalan raya ok. Biar lambat asalkan selamat tiba di destinasi yg dituju.

Kami akan pulang ke Junjung kedah pagi esok....dan akan berada di sana sampailah ke Jumaat depan. So sape yg dekat kedah tuh...mai la raya ke umah kami ok (actually rumah MIL ku ahaksss:p). Bley pekena blueberry cheesecake barang se-slice dua...:)

Salam Hari Raya buat semua......muahssss!

biskut raya # 2...

2009-09-14T21:46:00.005+08:00

adalah cornflakes chocolate. Another easy peasy recipe yg tak payah guna mixer atau oven, so sgt sesuai utk beginner atau mereka yg tak cukup peralatan nak membaking :) Resipi ni umi ku yg kasik back in 2007, kasik thru phone je...and disebabkan senang ku cuma store dlm otak jer.

So saper nak try dipersilakan ok...jgn malu2....gerenti sedap, kekanak and bapak budak pon suker :)

Cornflakes Chocolate
Bhn2:
cornflakes
cooking chocolate
toasted almond
butter

cara2:
1. Cairkan cooking chocolate. Bubuh sedikit butter, nak kasik chocolate tu tak terlalu pekat, sticky and nak kasik kilat sket.
2. Gaulkan almond dlm chocolate tu. Bubuh cornflakes...kacau rata semua batter tu.
3. Scoop dlm paper cup secepat mungkin (nanti takut chocolate keras). Bila chocolate dah kering baru simpan dlm tight container ok.
4. Alternatively boleh jugak tabur toasted almond last skali...kalau nak kasik contra effect dgn chocolate tu :)

Sorilah saya takde measurement utk setiap bahan. Semuanya agak2 dan ikut firasat hati jer...sbb mak saya pon tak kasik measurement dia hihi. Saya buat 2x tadi...so dptla bwk balik kampung satu balang. Biskut choc chips rangup ari tu cuma tinggal separuh balang je lagi...so tak dapatla nak bwk blk kampung :p

Biskut ni senang, tapi bab nak scoop dlm paper cup tu saya cukup malas dan agak membosankan (saye lagi enjoy buat biskut terap2, or yg guna acuan...sebab ade elemen2 seni di situ hehe). Saya kira those yg ade anak dara sure seronok kalau dpt buat sama2...atau pun saper yg ade bibik ker, ha bley kasik off day bibik tak payah masak tapi tolong cik puan buat biskut raya!

Rasanya ni biskut raya saya yg terakhir buat tahun ni, sebabnya saya dah kehabisan balang biskut di rumah. Nak kluar pegi beli saya malas drive....so oven officially close for production starting from tomorrow :)

biskut hangit!

2009-09-11T12:15:00.006+08:00

Tiba2 semangat nak buat biskut raya menjelma. Konon nak lari from the norms, ku cuba resepi baru yg diamik dari kak Hanieliza, iaitu biskut choc chips rangup (rasanye Aini slalu buat biskut ni). So proses membuat dimulakan dlm pukul 9 lebey pagi tadi...buat cuma satu adunan je sbb nak try. 2 batch dulang dimasukkan dlm oven2ku yg comel tu, and aku pon terus naik ke atas nak check email opis. Asyik sgt online sampai terlupa ku tgh bakar biskut, last2 bila turun tgk biskutku dah hangit! Adus pertama kali dlm sejarah ku buat biskut hangit, tensi sgt rasa. Dipendekkan citer, ku berjaya dpt satu balang je sbb batch pertama yg hangit tu ku sedekah ke dlm tong sampah. Komen...rasanye resepi ni kurang menepati citarasaku sbb rasa koko powder yg kuat dan biskut nyer agak kurang manis. So kalau nak buat next time bley improve lagi kot. Tapi ku suke texture dia yg sgt rangup. Rasanya, ku lebey suke resepi choc chip famous amos yg sudah dimodify many times dan menjadi biskut setiaku setiap kali menjelang raya :)

Esok lusa nak buat biskut lagi tak? hmmm tgk la kalo tak penat dan rajin :p

close up gambar biskut yg tak hangit :)

Tukar topik, ni menu yg ku masak kelmarin utk en hubby, our all-time favourite daging black pepper. Sejak kawin kalau beli daging, mesti akan masak menu nih. Easy peasy tapi sedap (kalau sendiri tak puji sape lagik ye dak hehe). Ptg ni igt nak masak kari ikan bawal. Bahan basah byk lagi dlm freezer, kena make sure sumer sempat dimasak before balik kampung :)

geram

2009-09-08T08:58:00.003+08:00

Ahad lepas sekali lagi saya diwardedkan ke KPJ, akibat muntah non-stop sejak jumaat malam. Seperti biasa, bila dah warded, saya dilarang mkn, cuma boleh mengambil clear fluids saja. IV drip dipasang utk mengelakkan saya dr terus dehydrated, dan alhamdulillah kelmarin saya dah discharged walaupun badan masih lemah. Oh saya agak terkejut bila timbang, saya kehilangan hampir 10kg sejak sakit 3 minggu yg lepas....yer kengkawan berat saya skarang sama macam berat time zaman anak dara dulu...sangatla kerempeng huhuhu

Dlm pada gembira kerana dah boleh discharged, saya diduga sekali lagi ptg kelmarin. Sebelum pulang saya meminta 2 botol EBM yg saya tumpang di fridge nursery (kali ni saya warded di tingkat 3, iaitu maternity ward). Hampir 15 minit menunggu, tetiba nurse dtg dgn membawa botol yg kosong dan baru dibasuh. Dia ckp susu saya terpaksa dibuang kerana dah expired. Darah saya dah berderau. Saya tanye, mane tahu susu saya dah expired? dia kata, sbb macam berkeladak, dan terpisah pada dua. Saya ckp mmgla susu kalau simpan dia terbahagi 2 macam tu, lapisan lemak terapung di atas. Terus saya ckp nak jumpe perempuan yg buang susu saya tuh. 20 minit kami tunggu di luar nursery, pompuan tu still tak kuar, bz katanya. Jam dah pukul 6:45pm, husband belum beli makanan utk berbuka, kami pon ke kaunter dan isi complaint form. Sambil isi tu suara saya membebel sket, agak shaking kerana menahan marah dan hampir menangis. Just imagine, saya bangun pukul 5:30am utk pam susu tu, dlm sakit dan badan yg lemah saya kuatkan semangat utk pam, alhamdulillah dpt plak dekat 11oz, padahal dlm keadaan sakit macam tu slalunye saya dpt kurang drpd tu. Alih2 senang jer pompuan b*d*h tu membuang susu saya tanpa minta kebenaran saya dulu. Kot ye pon basi ke ape ke tunjukla pada saya dulu, biar saya yg decide ape nak dibuat pada susu tuh. Mmg mangkuk ayun sungguh pompuan tuh. Habis isi complaint form, pompuan tu still tak muncul2 juga, saya kira dia takut nak berdepan dgn saya.

Ya Allah saya rasa saya dah cukup bersabar kelmarin, sekurang2nya saya tak mengamuk atau meroyan depan kaunter tu walaupun dlm hati saya marah tak terkira tuhan jer yg tahu. Mujurla saya tgh lemah, kalau saya sihat mahu rasanye saya serbu masuk ke bilik nursery tu dan berdepan dgn minah yg tak tahu adab susila dan rasa hormat pd org lain. Suka hati dia merampas hak firas, dahla langsung tak mintak maaf. Malam tadi susah sgt saya nak tido, teringat2 peristiwa ni. Kata org sabar tu separuh dari iman, memaafkan org tu lebih baik dan afdal dari menyimpan dendam. Tapi saya kira, macam mana saya nak maafkan sedangkan dia langsung tak minta maaf dari saya, just forgive and forget camtu je...aduh saya bukannya siti khadijah atau maryam yg terlalu tinggi iman dan tahan kesabaran di dada.

Itulah kisah sedih saya hari ni. Dalam keadaan terdesak beginilah Dia menduga saya lagi. Stock ebm saya hanya tinggal utk 2-3 hari je lagi. Kami dah membeli susu formula dan start top up 2-3x sehari. Firas nampak macam kurang gemar dgn susu formula, ku kira mungkin dia tak biasa lagi kot. Apa pon, saya harap susu badan saya akan terus mengalir dan jika diizinkanNya dptla saya menyusukan firas sampailah dia berumur 2 tahun. Walaupun title esklusif tu dah takder, saya redha. Sekurang2nya zat susu ibu masih dpt dirasai walaupun tak sepenuhnya.....semoga saya terus kuat Ya Allah......

Pertama skali, tima kasih yer kengkawan di atas doa and kata2 semangat dari korang. Alhamdulillah saya rasa bertambah sihat walaupun badan cepat sgt letih. Tak sure la letih post-effect surgery hari tu, atau letih sbb kurang zat ahaks. Lunch dan dinner, menu saya masih berkisar kpd sup (tanpa minyak) atau ikan bakar. Nasi 2 sudu, air diminum 1/2 jam lepas mkn. Kalau silap dr regime di atas, confirm perut akan terus rasa sakit dan bloated. Bila direnungkan, seharusnya saya bersyukur, sbb saya still boleh makan ayam dan ikan, walaupun muak mengadap sup, saya cuba bertahan dan mengingatkan diri sendiri...org miskin tu lagikla, ada yg berlaukkan ikan masin setiap hari. So compared with myself, takdela teruk sgt betul tak. Jika saya makan 2 sudu, org2 miskin tu mungkin hanya dpt mkn nasi sesudu sehari...atau selang sehari...so keadaan saya jauh lebih baik dari mereka. Bila dah sakit ni, mmg byk betul hikmah yg Allah beri. Dia membuat saya semakin insaf, semakin beringat, dan semakin bersyukur dgn nikmat yg diberi. Walaupun surgeon dah kasik green light utk back to normal diet, saya still tak berani. Takut tersilap mkn akan trigger balik gastrik+muntah2 tu. So pesan pada diri sendiri, selagi bley bertahan...ku cuba la bertahan :) Kelmarin cikgu taska idlan tegur, kurusnya akak....dlm hati saya senyum jela...mahu nyer den tak kurus, selama 2 minggu hampir setiap hari nurse pricked tangan amik darah, pastu mkn nasi sket....confirm la macam org tgh diet hihi

Oh kelmarin saya masak utk husband. Kesian dia kena cirit birit seharian dek kerana lauk yg dibeli di opis. Masak simple je, tenggiri goreng cili+sup sayur+cucur bilis. Alhamdulillah habis dimkn utk sahur skali. Saya faham, walaupun simple (dan maybe tak sedap hehe) air tangan isteri tu sometimes rasa lebih sedap dari lauk di bazar ramadhan tu. Pagi tadi, husband dah ke tesco membeli sedikit ration...so ptg ni saya igt nak masak udang msk lemak serai+sayur campur cendawan utk dia. Utk diri sendiri ngan kekanak tu saya dah masak sup ayam tadi.

Sebenarnye saya rasa sgt bosan duk dekat rumah ni. Time pagi byk tgk rancangan masakan kat tv. Then belek2 resepi dlm majalah dan berangan nak masak itu ini utk husband. Saya jarang sgt online...sbb laptop dan modem di atas, dan disebabkan saya cepat letih so malasla nak turun naik tangga.

Nanti esok lusa kalau rajin saya postkan resipi yg saya collect from tv okeh :)
Selamat berbuka!

admitted lagik...

Dugaan dtg lagi. Selasa lepas tiba2 aku diserang gastrik yg teruk dek akibat terlewat sket amik lunch. Bila dah kena, cam biasa aku akan muntah2 non stop dari tgh hari sampai la ke esok paginya. Rabu, ku pegi menyerah diri berjumpa doktor sbb badan dah terlampau lemah and dehydrated and as expected, surgeon ku tahan masuk wad. Berkampungla aku di KPJ lagi skali dari rabu-ahad lepas.

Rabu, first day di wad blood test dibuat and yg tak best, result ku sangat abnormal. Doc suspect masih ade saki baki gall stones yg tertinggal dlm common bile duct (CBD)ku. Aku dilarang mkn hari tu, hanya bergantung kpd IV drip and clear fluids jer.

Khamis bermula 6am, aku diarahkan berpuasa mkn dan minum dan pukul 9++, aku pegi buat ultrasound. Result ultrasound nampak macam ok, CBD looks normal tp blood test result masih belum improving, maka doc arahkan aku membuat MRCP (ala2 MRI scan). Dlm pukul 12noon aku pegi buat MRI, time tu nak jln mmg dah tak larat, badan huyung hayang sbb terlalu lemah dek kerana hampir sehari setengah berpuasa. Sebelum masuk ke bwh mesin MRI tu aku dah start muntah2...rasanye gastrik dtg balik. Sepanjang discan di bwh MRI perut bergelodak, tekak loya and aku struggle giler menahan diri dari termuntah. Dahla sejam duduk dlm mesin tu,badan langsung takleh gerak, sejam yg penuh penyeksaan. In fact ade few steps yg terpaksa ku ulang lagi skali kerana aku tak berjaya ikut arahan pegawai imaging tu, dia suruh aku tarik nafas, buang nafas, tahan nafas...benda simple camtu pon tak dpt kubuat sbb dah terlalu lemah. Habis MRI, kluar je dari mesin tu ku muntah lagi berkali-kali. Result MRI menunjukkan ade 3-4 biji gall stones yg masih tertinggal dlm CBD ku yg dah dilated (inflammed). Gastro ku dipanggil turun dan lepas dia tgk result MRI, terus dia ckp yg aku perlu menjalani ERCP (procedure utk kluarkan gall stones) ptg tu jugak. Aku cuma mampu mengangguk kepala je...kepala dah tak boleh nak digest pepe info dah dek kerana terlalu lemah and hampir pengsan...(malangnyer tak pengsan betul2 hehe). Dlm pukul 3pm, aku masuk ke bilik procedure. Ku diberi local anestetik (LA) bukan GA, bermakna aku separa sedar sepjg procedure dijlnkan. Aku disuruh meniarap, kepala disengetkan, mulutku disumbat benda supaya terbuka, dan beberapa tiub dimasukkan thru mulut. Then aku pengsan. Tiba2 ku tersedar, ku dengar gastro ku marah2 nurse, sekali sekala dia tersebut '4 letter words' and aku tahu, sekali lagi kes ku kali ni agak complicated. Then aku batuk terbahak2, and muntah byk kali disebabkan rasa tak selesa dgn tiub2 dlm mulut ku. Adus sgt trauma bila teringatkan procedure hari tuh....kenapala aku tak pengsan sampai habis procedure.

Esoknyer, gastro dtg ke wad. Katanye procedure kurang berjaya, hanya satu gall stone yg berjaya dikluarkan , yg lain tak berjaya. A straightforward case cuma amik masa dlm sejam, tapi ERCP ku mengambil masa hampir 2 jam, dan disebabkan conditionku yg dah teruk procedure terpaksa diberhentikan. Sangatla kecewa bila kudengar, especially bila teringatkan what has happened throughout the procedure. It was damn horrible and terrified, lagi teruk dari surgery baru2 ni. Tapi disebabkan aku masih lemah, aku cuma angguk2 mendengar je...tak mampu nak komen pepe.

Ahad, alhamdulillah aku berjaya discharged nevertheless sampai skarang perutku senang rasa bloated, dek kerana post-effect dan infection yg berlaku selepas procedure. Kata gastro ku, a second ERCP will be done after hari raya, which scares me a lot when come to think about it. Sekarang ni, aku cuma berharap yg aku kekal sihat sampailah ke hari raya, harap2 takde kes kena tahan wad lagi. Apa yg bakal berlaku lepas raya, kita tunggu dan lihat jela yer :p

In terms of diet, ku masih berpantang cam biasa. Satu perubahan besar, sejak surgery hari tu, the most i can eat at one time hanyalah about 1/4 of the plate (rasanye firas mkn lagi byk hehe), couldnt go more than that kalau tidak immediately perut rasa sakit and bloated. Kalau breakfast, cuma sekeping roti dan sedikit milo, nak habiskan satu mug pon tak boleh. Perut obviously dah tak buncit hehe, kempis terus you....berat confirm dah hilang few kilos. Ku kira Dia mendugaku dgn menarik nikmat makanku buat sementara waktu kali ni...dan hikmahnya aku skarang menjadi manusia yg sgt berhati-hati dgn soal pemakanan....insaf rasanye. Physically badanku masih lemah, belum fit lagi. Ku cuma larat masak makanan utk diri sendiri...husband tapau food dari bazar ramadhan jer kesian dia :(

oklah sekian updates buat kali ni....doakan saya cepat sihat yer kengkawan... :)

Relactation?

2009-08-22T21:48:00.003+08:00

I've been discharged yesterday alhamdulillah. Felt much better now, physically and mentally especially after seeing the two boys. Firas dah boleh berjln ke sana ke mari, dah boleh main, dah boleh gelak. Kata husband, sepjg ketiadaan saya dia cuma 'terkapok' dlm dakapan husband, langsung tak boleh diletak, langsung taknak main dgn org lain, etc. Rindu sangat pd mama yer sayang :)

After nearly 2 weeks of not nursing firas directly, my milk supply drops tremendously to only 1oz yesterday. Tried to pump at the hospital during morning on the day i was discharged, but only few drops coming out, hence i resorted to hand expressed, and the total collected is only 1oz. Really sad but the other part of meeself was some sort of already redha with it. As far as i remember, i pumped only once a day during the days i was warded (before the surgery). Monday i went for surgery, and only wednesday i had the energy to pump again, that time i got only 6oz in total. Thursday i pumped and got 3 oz, and friday (the discharged day) i got 1oz.
Besar sungguh dugaan Allah kali ni.

Last night, i tried to bf directly and firas didnt seem to get enough. As such i supplement with ebm once throughout the night. Today, i also supplement with ebm once, and i tried to feed him with solid as much as possible :p Opps dia dah upgraded from finely blended puree to normal rice ok. I fed him with rice and chicken soup today and he simply loves it! Malam ni, i dont know yet but i have the feeling of having to top up with ebm again since my breast feels empty all day long. I'm one unhappy mom definitely :(

Nevertheless, the journey is still ongoing, and i tried not to think too much about it. Mungkin ada hikmah disebaliknya. What i can do now is try not to feel too depress about it, drink loads of plain water day and night, and berdoa pada Dia moga rezeki firas masih panjang lagi. And yes starting from tomorrow i shall continue eating white lobak hoping it will boost the supply.

pray for me my dear friends....i feel very sad indeed :(

Anyway ku masih di hospital. Tadi doc datang, ku terus pujuk dia supaya kasik discharge by today. Dia nampak macam agree, tapi pepe pon ptg ni dia akan dtg tgk lagi and decide. Adus cam patient kesayangan plak rasa hihi, dia mmg sgt concern...well my case may be quite rare and posted a big challenge to him, and to his skill...sbb tu dia nampak a bit reluctant to release me.

Tadi saya tgk rancangan masakan kat tv, depa dah start buat biskut and kek raya dah adusss mengancam keimanan sungguh. sempak jugak la ku taip resepi cheese cake chef asma sambil dia masak2 tadi hihi.

Selamat Berpuasa yer kengkawan semua...semoga kedatangan Ramadhan kali ni membawa seribu satu keberkatan dan pengertian kpd kita semua. Jgn lupa, jaga pemakanan anda...jgn mkn yg pedas2, minyak, dan berlemak sgt tu....sebenarnye more to a reminder to meeself :)
Saya dah berangan nak buat cream caramel and kek batik buat suami. Walaupun diri sendiri takleh mkn, tapi husband suke hati pon senang :) Menu ramadhan minggu pertama saya ni confirm la sup ikan haruan jek :p

berangan lagi....?

Kelmarin masa saya dihabiskan dgn menonton cd operation saya. Hehe curious jugak nak tahu ape yg doc buat did lm perut saya ni. Tak penah saya imagine yg gall bladder (GB) saya tu size dia lebih besar dari saiz tapak tgn saya ni. Sgt swollen, dan tegang, spt belon yg tunggu time nak meletup! Dan just imagine instrument doc tu plak adalah 2 pasang gunting yg pjg bilahnya dlm 1.5inch, dan benda tu la yg digunakan utk mencangkuk GB saya tuh. Confirm takkan dpt catch punyer betul dak hehe. Maka saya lihat doc me’laser’ GB, membuang fluid di dlmnyer, dan macam2 lagila utk mengecilkan size dia supaya dpt dicapai oleh gunting yg kecil itu. Cd macam tak complete, so saya tak dpt lihat macam mana akhirnya doc dpt keluarkan GB yg besar itu. OKla stop dulu….rasa loya plak bila teringatkan screen shot procedure tu :p

Kelmarin juga agent insurans saya En Meg*t dtg melawat. Dia adalah junior husband di mckk dulu, juga junior kami di MMU. Diberinya saya seketul teddy bear yg comel, rasa malu plak, dah besar pjg tetiba dpt teddy bear hihi. Saya dan husband sebenarnya agak teruja, kerana kami tahu kami layak membuat claim under insurans saya tu. Yela dahla kami dah upgrade ke bilik single deluxe, which is lagi mahal dari single standard, so harapan kami bila dpt claim insurans terubatla sket poket yg rabak tu :p Bila membuat kira2, dgn bayaran bulanan yg saya buat tu, saya layak dpt RM250/night sebagai hospital allowance+rm500 surgery benefits (mengikut severity of surgery procedure). So dlm otak dah siap merencana, nak sambar netbook satu lah, nak bwk family kedua belah pihak pegi holiday la, yada yadaa. See nafsu dah mencanak2 tak tentu pasal :p

As we flip thru the policy (ni adalah first time saya jumpe Meg*t) and I’m yet to sign the policy, tetiba kami terpandang pada satu clause. Clause tu ckp sakit saya ni (stones related to urinary or biliary systems) falls under 7 categories of specified illness yg mana insurans company hanya akan cover cost medical after 120 days after the commencement date of the policy. Ohhhhh harapan kami terus musnah! Saya baru je bertukar ke insurans baru ni, date policy saya 9 June 2009, obviously saya tak layak nak claim! Dangggggggggggg hancur berderai netbook ku ituuuu akakakakkaka. Nampak gaya, terpaksala saya swipe mr credit card bila discharge nanti :p
Sampai ke ptg kami berdua gelak terkekeh bila terkenangkan perkara ni. Itula, sape suruh berharap sgt. Itula…sape suruh pasang angan2 cepat sgt.

Ape2 pun, saya bersyukur, allah masih menyayangi saya. Biarla tak dpt claim pon, yang penting saya cepat sembuh dan dpt berjumpe kekanak di rumah tu.

Husband siap tanye, nak tukar bilik ke awak? Saya kata takperla…..tadi kan kata dah pasrah :p
