Of boiling and piercing

This weekend is the best ever weekends I ever had. I meant the best among the best, so far. Because I received more than one good news, and today mark great achievements. Either about my work, my family and my life. I have never be a lot happier, it was strange though, but happy. I wore a smile on my face, yes, I mean literally. But I will not write it here, no no. Let me keep that to myself. Alhamdulillah. Thank you Allah.

And, it has been a long time, a very long time, of me posting and writing about my cooking. And now, let me present you with my dinner tonite. Yup, only for me, because the kids had a roast chicken, while their dad had fish and chips. Well this ubi rebus (boiled tapioca) and sambal was a kick tonite. This is my first time boiling the ubi  from scratch. Usually I would ask my beloved mom to cook for me. She usually served the boiled tapioca with young desiccated coconut mixed with salt and sugar. That's absolutely delicious. We usually have the ubi rebus with black coffee, with sugar of course.

Now, my little girl, the youngest one just had her ears pierced. She's been nagging me for weeks. You know how persistent you are adik, everyday you asked me the same question,"Mama, bila adik nak pakai earings?" Adoi.... finally, she got it. Happy, for sure. Jumping up and down with joy. So determine to get her ears pierced, she didn't feel pain a bit, and so she said. hahahahha.... Suke hati laaa....We made many new arrangement for adik. We changed her to a new school since she has started playing the malas role. Everyday she would create an excuse. I guess she's bored with the school, been sending her since she's 3 yr old. Don't ask her to do the same thing over again, things that she has mastered, she will get bored. She's happy now, with her new school. When ask, what so great about your new school,"best laa, cikgu tak pukul2 lagi." I did ask her several times, if she has ever been punished by the teacher without any reason. She denied, but said that her friends did, and that has feared her, a lot. Garang betul cikgu dia tahun nie. So we decided to change school, and that was not the only reason.

I end this post with this picture, "Happy Mother's Day to all mother out there!"

Until next time, think positive and stay positive, inshaAllah everything will be OK

3 orang yang sudah mendahuluiku

Assalamualaikum,

March, bulan ketiga dalam kalendar gregorian. Bulan March ada 31 hari. Dalam banyak-banyak bulan yg ada 31 hari, bulan March nie la aku rasa bulan yang paling singkat. Mungkin sebab banyak benda berlaku dalam bulan ini.

Speaking of that, bulan March tahun ini, macam-macam benda berlaku. Sebenarnya antara akhir Februari ke hujung March ini, banyak peristiwa berlaku. Di antara tempoh tersebut, 3 orang yg rapat dengan aku kembali ke rahmatullah. Pakteh aku, paklang aku dan ibu mertua ku.

It's haunting me "Try"

This song keeps playing in my head. Arrghhhhh.... can't get rid of it. I have watched the video clip, love it, and I have one word to describe it "awesome". Pink has toned up her body, nice.... So this song has been playing on my player for numerous time, I don't keep track on how much I have rewind (reply) the song. And here is the lyric of the song.

Ever wonder about what he's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Eh, eh, eh

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy?
Even when it's not right

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by, by, by

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Buku apa yang aku baru habis baca: Setia Hujung Nyawa-Gaduh2 Sayang-Takdir itu milik aku

Haaaa.... 3 minggu lepas, sempat membeli novel-novel itu laa. Beli kat MPHOnline sahaja. Senang, tak payah nak susah ke kedai (dasar pemalas). Asalnya nak beli buku Setia Hujung Nyawa tu, sebab tak sabar nak tau ending dia. So click aje MPHOnline, terus pergi ke link top seller, sebab tau dah mesti tersenarai kat situ. Dan sebab nak free delivery, carik la buku lain juga. Tak payah susah2 pun, carik aje kat list top seller tu. So angkat la lagi dua buah buku tu, sebab baca sinopsis buku-buku tu macam menarik sangat.

Statistics update for Life in Brisbane

Alhamdulillah, ada lagi yang melawat blog Life In Brisbane. Blog tu dah lama ku tinggalkan, purposely. Well, since we have left Brisbane, I don't see any reason for me to keep writing on that blog. Biarlah kenangan di Brisbane bersemadi di situ. Bila rindu boleh baca balik. Tipu la kalau aku cakap aku tak rindu Brisbane. Rindu woooo... dah macam kampung halaman Brisbane tu. Baru-baru nie bila Brisbane dilanda banjir lagi, aku yang dok ngelabah nak tau news kat sana, siap ngadap channel 521 astro, tapi takde pulak updat pasal banjir. Sib baik tak seteruk banjir pada tahun 2011. Kali nie Bundy teruk betul dilanda musibah. Aku rasa takde orang Islam kat sana tu.
