Bicara Tentang Tanah

Malam ni khusus borak2 pasal tanah.. Keluar abih geran lama koyak rabak tahun 1963.. Kagum gak tgk geran bersejarah cam tu...

Ingat nak buat sesuatu.. Takde le besar sgt pun but harap ia menjadi kenyataan someday soon.

Decluttering the Living Room

Have to say that tonight is a very productive night. Am able to sweep, store, moped the living room in preparation to my two boys staying over my weekday home next week.

Have to say that I have soo many things that I should be able to get rid off but can't. Really would appreciate the existence of a recycling center, a book collection centre, some sort of salvation army as well as car boot sales in Malaysia. Well, I guess I had to utilise web to get rid some of my novels and books, mags I no longer requires.

Can say that we are the garbage generations. Soo many things that we able to buy but of low quality and thus not longlasting. We throw them out and buy a new one again. And the cycle continues. Gotta change quick!

Me n Family :)

Thought I'm gonna post a mushy entry today about me n ma family :)

I was a bit tomboyish and career oriented when I started in my current career. I met hubby during my tenure as contract staffs during my CUF days. He was a friend's friend and he wasn't my taste during that time. Quite a mushy mushy guy.

I don't know how it happened but it must be jodoh. I rejected him once when he asked to be steady since I was lightly involved with a married expat guy then (haha really stupid of me).. But he persevered. With some of his dirty tricks (haha.. I won't bother you with 'em).. We become a couple and finally tie the knot on 29.5.2004. Looking back it is kinda fast.. Around 2 years since I met him.. Around a year plus after we become a couple.. That's why people said if its your destiny, it would meant to be cz I do not actively seeking a spouse.. I was resigned to the fact I would become a single career lady.

Fast forward to 2011.. Time flies, we have been married 7 years.. Got two lovely boys - Kimi whom will be starting Std 1 next year and Haikal who is currently 2+. The unique fact is that in our 7 years of marriage, we never stay together as I work elsewhere. He is based in Kerteh while I worked in KL in the first 5 years and now 3 years plus in K.Trg.

Alhamdulillah I have been blessed with a wonderful husband who tolerated all my bad points hahaha :P .. And become a whole function to me.. Friend, hubby, lover, brother, criticiser, financial consultants etc etc.. As well as two lovely boys whom I haven't been able to be there 24-7 but whom always missed me and treasure the time when we are together.

Thank you God for the blessing.. I am unworthy but I pray for us to be continuously blessed here and the afterworld.. Aminn..

Decluttering Again...

Its amazing the thing I managed to chuck out.. Still a long way to go but I believe I had started seeing progress.. 3 years of accumulation..

Most of em are papers.. Newspaper, journals and assignments from my EMBA days (dun't need them anymore cz I got my harddisks now).. Also had some old shoes I don't feel like throwing away (but now am chucking them out like there's no tomorrow except one good pair).. Got some bags as well, dun't think I have the heart to throw em yet but I think that I need to invest in one good one.. Perhaps a leather bag so that I won't buy one again in a loooooooong while. Even the one I bought in Bintulu (around before puasa perhaps in June) had started fraying.. I am not a bag person so I am quite tough with my bags.. Hmmm... Definitely need to buy one at least from Cosmopal.. Even tho they don't have the branding yet, they are genuine leather..

Even you can see there one pack of slimming pils.. I don't even remembered their existance and they had expired around a year ago.. Yikes! I just remember I did bought another one before these Ayurslim pills I bought last weekend.. Double Yikes!!! Better be reminded next time Ojah.. NO MORE WASTAGE!!!!!

The Best Nasi Kerabu in Terengganu Town

I had a meeting this morning and the host graciously bought us this loveliest Nasi Kerabu in town for breakfast.

Complete with the blue colour rice, ulam-ulaman (Malay Salad), generous splash of budu (anchovies sauce).. Sambal (chillies) with daging bakar (grilled meat), ayam panggang (grilled chicken) and salted eggs.. All combined to make the most delicious nasi kerabu... Yummyyyy..

Where to find it? Well, from the Bulatan Batu Bersurat, choose the 12 o'clock exit, go straight until you reach the first traffic light.. A few meters after the traffic light you will observed lines of cars parked and the nasi kerabu stall would be on your right.. Hmmm yummyyyyyyyyy :)

Decluttering Time Again

I'm a hoarder, have to admit this. Over the years I surprised myself of how much junk I accumulated. I supposed these are my treasures before but not anymore.

At least I think I managed to clear 30% of the clutter. This week I think I want to clear off the store room. I shudder at the amount of garbage I created.

Really Malaysia should have its own version of car boot sales or salvation army for used cheap items, cz a person's junk could be another's treasure.

My Edible Garden

Weekends is here again, and I am back in my home, Kerteh. So this morning, I am monitoring again my edible garden to see their weekly progress.

I am fortunate to have ground compound for things to grow. Well, with a small family and most of them don't like veggies except me.. Buying vegies sometimes resulted in waste (but I use it as organic fertelizer to my decorative plants - just chuck 'em whole into the flowerpots)..

But I digress.. So just see there, I got a few things growing up quite nicely there. A few bird chillies (got it from mum in law).. See! We didn't use any cz there a few of them rotting of the plant).. I use some of it (just by splitting it open and let the seed to the ground).. Some halia (galangal if I am not mistaken).. Just bought a packet of em for a recipe and only using 5%.. So the other I just buried to this plot...

A few bendi (ladyfingers) is also germinating there.. I love bendis.. Bought seed from the Serbajadi brand, was sceptical at first when planting them (had only around 10 seeds in the packet) but the seeds had shown progress just a week after I buried them (very lightly to the earth surface)..

So, I bought another packet of seeds from Serbajadi.. Van Gogh Sunflower.. I love Sunflowers too! Hoping for the same progress too! Wish me luck :)

Flooding!!!

Well, have to say that this year monsoon season is fierce.. No wonder when I heard in the news stating that the meteorological dept predicted that the rain this time round would be 60% more than usual.

See the pic there water in front of my house, it has just been 3 days but water had risen since the 1st day. I hope it won't get worse cz if it raised by a few inches more, I am afraid that my house would be flooded as well though it has been safe for the three years plus I have been here.

Tomorrow is my day back to Kerteh, hope everything would be ok for my 3 days weekend (awal muharram is on Sunday :))..

Will take back my old Sportage, certainly a more reliable ride during this wet season esp. if I need to drive trough this watery road.
