I know.

It was a loooooong absence. I wasn’t that busy or lazy.

I don’t think my xplanation is important here.

Anyway… You all dah ke BELUM?  I dah

Here  are some pics I would like to share with the nature lovers.

Click here for more pictures.

It was a total great experience – visiting kampung orang asli, hiking a forest trails to meet the rafflesia, another hiking up to the breathtaking waterfalls and soothing streams. Subhanallah!

The hiking and the boat ride were tiring, but worth it!

The hiking is not really recommended to the oldies and toddlers though cos it’s quite steep and long trails (approximately 10-15 minutes or more).

Today, I got a love reply from my lovely old man and I am so touched!

Saying or expressing the words “i love you” to my father is something I rarely do right after I reached puberty (the transition years I would say..hehe) :p.

Say or not say, we love you so much Abah! no matter what.

You are reaching almost 60 and this makes me sad. sob! I wish to have you as Abah forever n ever.

You are always in our prayers. I pray hard you go to heaven. AMIN!

Thank you so much for everything.

To be fair and square, so that mama tak kecik hati in case terjumpa this entry since there is no tribute for her.. huhuhu.. I’d say

I love you too mama!

and you too, my husband!

and to those who want my love!
Spread the love….

They are so cartoon! Looney toons

I am super afraid of bees. But I love the honey they produced.

I’ve always wanted something healthy and organic for my facial and body care. And I wanted it to be honey based because honey is sweet, it has antioxidants and antibacterial properties n goldish in color (huhuh, can this count? ).

But I didn’t find anything that is honey + chemical free + affordable.

It’s either too expensive or organic w/out honey and still expensive. I was very excited when Watsons introduced ‘Be Gorgeous’ product range.

But to my huge dismay the product is very limited only to body care, hair care and there is no facial care. I would love to try the facial but no, they don’t have.

So I decided to stay loyal with the Eucerin which I’ve been using for almost a year now until i found beauty and the bees.

The testimonials and the descriptions are SO convincing. – they use organics, non chemical substance, all herbs, organic plant that I feel I MUST TRY.

I have a very sensitive skin,so I thought why not I try something organic and chemical-free. Something that is not harsh and delicate products to my skin.

I am getting old by the way so trying something that is chemical free I HOPE could  help to slow down the aging process that is in progress now. huhuhuh.. iyolah tuu…

I read every product details displayed on the website. Feeling satisfied, I put 6 items in the cart. And the next day I got a call from the company to proceed for the payment.

Actually, I hesitated for a while for fear it is insecured. But I know somebody who already made the purchase and it was all safe.

2 weeks past (I opted for  the cheapest shipping ) and tadaaaa!

I just can’t wait to try and see the result. so far i love them very much especially the polishing scrub. It is made of some oatmeal, almond meal, organic flowers and herbs.

I like it so much as It’s not so refined and feel like putting real not-so-mushy oatmeal mixed with milk onto your face.  The smell…ummphhh..ahhhhhh… is so marvellous! I can’t wait for the next scrubbing session.

So far so good. Waiting for nxt month to see the effect of the product on my skin. Stay tuned!

If any of you interested,  I’d recommend the hair pack and honey pack.

Though KL is known for the hectic, fast paced and busy place, deep down of me I still love the city life. I love the tall buildings, love seeing people walking rapidly on the street wearing smart suits and especially the shopping malls and the luxurious 5 star hotels! Last week, I attended 3 days training in KL and I had so much fun getting away from the office,sitting in the 5 star hotel conference room, walking on the busy streets surrounded by shopping malls and eating 4 times daily, FREE hotel food! It was like a short holiday to me. I had so much fun.

Nothing extraordinary of below pictures. Just pictures of where I was of the 3 days away from office.

5:30 pm sharp weekdays- time to go home. Later than that is considered not effective! Oh yes! I am very very effective now! :8).

I know they are just KLCC building and wash room of Ritz Carlton KL, but really couldn’t help myself from being such a BIG JAKUN-er. teehee! H.E.L.P M.E!

Okay. Now lets talk about food. Yes! It’s about lamb shoulders with lingonberry jam. Delicious! We like to eat lamb, very much! It’s a menu that we must have every week for our dinner. It’s so easy to cook lamb shoulder (I guess it’s a shoulder part, correct me if I am wrong). You can grill it on the grill pan or cook it on non stick pan or just throw it in the microwave oven and grill it for as long as you like (rare, medium rare or well done). Of course you need to marinate the lamb for better, delicious and satisfying taste. These are the basic things you need to marinate the lamb.

Pepper, salt, olive oil, your favourite sauce and herbs – I use dry herbs as it lasts long and it’s a bit costly to buy and also hard to find fresh herbs. It’s a no problem if you want to omit the BBQ sauce. I am sure it still tastes delicious w/out it.

I know what you are thinking..

Yes, I, myself admit it has a hideous look :’( , but don’t judge the food by its look and the red paste is not sambal alrite? hahaha. It’s the lingonberry jam! The whole plate tasted really good. Next time I’ll try with strawberry jam and see how it’d taste. I recommend you to eat with green boiled broccoli or whateva vege you like for a balance and healthy meal. I didn’t have any vege in stock that night, so I prepared it with boiled potato. A dash of salt + pepper, the ikea creamy sauce on top and you are ready to eat. It’s quick and definitely delicious! AGAIN, it might not look tasty in the picture, but it did taste GOOD!

I had a great time on the last day of puasa and the first 3 days of Hari Raya.

My last visit to atok’s house was loooong time ago and this raya  I was VERY thrilled to balik kampung, especially when we had all of us celebrated raya together (except..of course w/out you tofek. sob!)

From KL to Jalan Haruan, Parit Buntar to Jalan Todak, Parit Buntar and back and forth to Jalan Todak and Jalan Haruan and to Parit Buntar city, to Bagan Serai to Tanjung Piandang to Titi Serong, back to Kuala Kangsar to Ipoh to Kinta City (I still got time to do some shopping here. heee ) to Teluk Intan and back to the KL city, to the One Utama and lastly, to our home sweet home. It was a tiring journey but I enjoyed it very very much.

It’s normal during raya that a married and working person won’t get any duit raya and that’s the saddest part of hari raya for me. sob sob!

BUT this raya, I was the happiest person ever! I got a few sampul raya and 2 of them adalah sampul raya yang tebal and FAT ! I got $$$$$$!!! yeayea!! Alhamdulillah, murah rezeki. Thank you thank you! Extremely happy macam nak hug, kiss, xoxoxo sume orang dalam rumah atok. Lepas dapat duit raya terus gatal seluruh badan nak shopping. Nasib baik dekat kampung tade suria PBCC (pb=parit buntar) macam suria KLCC dekat kl. wahahha. watever.

The chubby baby Hasif is sleeping in the morning of 1st Raya day

Sis is getting ready in the messy room full of our bags

My fav photo. I pity you baby, your sister smooch smooch you like there is no tomorrow. The baby redha je.

kids are helping to set up the tripod

Tok nek with the chubby cicit.When I look at this pic, it reminds me of Abah’s saying: kalau picit tetek baby, baby mesti muntah. Abah ni lucu la. hahahaha!

The night after 1st day of raya: The peace, the peace and the ghost yang tak jadi, the camera girl and the model with patrick plastered on the forehead. LOL! So cute!

I don’t get to see this in the city where I live, so I had to take this  pic.

Sebab dah lama sangat hidup dekat kota yang moden, so bila balik kampung jumpa sawah bendang dan basikal tua dan rumah kampung rasa teramat sangat JAKUN.

This pic is special to me. This budget house used to house my father,Tok, Bah (nenek) and other 11 siblings. 14 people in this small house.. I couldn’t really imagine. The house used to be very neat, tidy and clean under  Bah’s care but now, not anymore . I am so grateful and glad that with lots of hardworks and efforts,  abah now is a one successful man. Your incredible journey inspires me a lot, abah!

I am sure the kitty enjoys his dream: I am a superman… I am a superman…

This picture was taken near the sawah padi. The burned logs and the mushrooms show the orange and dark grey contrast color perfectly! The mushrooms look so bling-bling in the picture as it was too sunny and too hot that day and I didn’t know how to tune the setting on my camera to get the perfect macro picture of the mushroom. I need to learn from the expert.

The Jakun-ers.

The fun days of Raya are over and now I am back to work. :’(

Bersepah kan? eeee! Our freezer looks so messy and very unorganized. When my mom comes to my house and open the freezer, she’ll always complains that I have loads of stocks as if I have 10 kids in the house . Tomorrow I definitely need to do some reorg work.

I am still not done with fasting month stocks shopping and my fridge is already out of space.When it comes to fasting month, I always stock up my fridge with all the frozen foods like murtabak gemok, ayam percik haryati, roti boom warta, MIL homemade frozen curry puff, etc. These frozen foods are so convenient as I don’t think I have that much energy to cook everyting for break fasting during ramadhan after driving back home from work. I’ll just do light cooking like mee/kuey tiaw/bihun goreng or soupy dish for break fasting and the rest we’ll buy (kuih muih and lauk for sahur).

We only have rice during sahur and we’ll just heat the lauk in the microwave. Nowadays, you don’t have to be fully awake to heat your food. Just make sure you set the timer correctly and wait for the beep beep goes off. Thanks to technology we all now living a convenient life!  Too convenient but never stop complaining, I wonder why :p. I salute the emak-emak dan nenek-nenek zaman dahulu kala that they did everything with their bare hands.

SO, this ramadhan let us be very thankful of what we have. May this ramadhan be filled with thankfulness, ibadah, blessings and lasting tranquility. InsyaAllah. Amin

Happy ramadhan all!

That’s all ’cause all the babes i know have been tagged and most of my fav bloggers are totally strangers.

I had been away for 2 short days…

And I wish I was there longer but I need to get back to work so I have enough money to buy islands as big and as beautiful and as posh as below Caribbean Islands of Antigua and Barbuda owned by Richard Branson.

“Believe in your dreams and they may come true; believe in yourself and they will come true”. Yeah, I will keep on dreaming! ngeh ngeh ngeh!

I am so jealous of you Mr Richard Branson!!

Beautiful creatures, dead and alive. Colorful  shells, soft brown and white sand. A dead smiling creature Maybe it is now in heaven.

Strolling along the beach with amazing serene scenery,enjoying the beauty of green trees, hills and the blue-green beach.

Listening to the sound of waves and birds singing happily. The calm feeling of soft wind blowing against me.

Dipping feet in the water and watching cute small crabs running away from me.

Abah with his smart shoes

*out of topic* The gladiator sandals (left) have been with me for so long. It’s so special because I wear it everywhere I go. It’s the kenduri, shopping, beach, market, office etc-basically everything sandals.  It’s truly an all-occasions sandals.

I find all of these  calming and relaxing. I don’t mind getting sunburned, wet and sand dirty. I want more beach!!

Aiming this beach..

Sipadan

When? Not sure.
