Selera Hari Jumaat, April 15, 2011.

Fridays are Atif's off days.  We often go for movies on Fridays and often ends up having our food outside too.  There is this new warung place at SS13 SJ that we recently frequented.  Portion of food is small as the price is also not too expensive.  Quite a crowd on weekends too and it is like a little Uptown on its own.

As usual Atif will go for nasi putih, daging masak merah and telur dadar.  He ordered milo for his drink but he ended up asking the boy to bungkus the milo. Hehe. Kekenyangan le tu.. 

I ordered kue teow bandung which turns out to be so tak sedap! Sib baik ada order my fav otak2 and cukuplah 5 keping untuk aku sorang. My drink is always teh-o-limau panas. Alhamdulillah.

Saturday, April 16, 2011. I cut these fruits to eat with kuah rojak Mak Bee which is Atif's fav kuah rojak.  I dont quite like to mix the kuah rojak together with the fruits. I like to eat them separately.

Serum.

I have never bought this local mag GLAM but whenever I find them at hair salon, spa, hotel, etc, I would try never to miss reading them.  But buying them, aku rasa mcm kureng sikit sbb penuh dgn glossy pages of ads aje rasanya even though some articles and features write-ups are pretty interesting readings.  

I borrowed this mag of GLAM with Ziana Zain as cover girl from my good friend Zurinah and enjoyed the write-up on anti-aging creams and serums.

Tak silap penulis was talking about, how a lot of women out there, after having kids mostly, fail to take care of their face and skin that leaves them looking haggard and allowing fine lines and lines to appear.  To me, it's not just the lines, fine lines or wrinkles etc, tp biasalah, bila dah ada anak, focus utk jaga diri sendiri dah kureng.  Lebih pada rumah tangga, anak2 apatah lagi kalu bajet asyik lari aje kan.

The write was pointing out that after 35, serums and anti aging creams are the most importance before we reach 40 so that the fine lines, wrinkles or watever yg sememangnya memang akan keluar dan wujud, (tu tak masuk lagi brown spots, and entah apa2 lagi kan yg akan emerge on our skin) tak la nampak sgt dan bole di bendung la...

There are thousands of stuff in the market.  Suit your budget.  I personally take a lot of things, either eating them, or applying them on my face and skin just for maintenance.  I have put up here on my blog on the sides.   Hakikatnya, kita sebagai wanita, tepuk dada tanya selera.  Dan jangan la takut utk ketepikan sikit duit dan bajet untuk diri sendiri.  

Personally, I have used Body Shop's anti-aging whitening (Shiso) serum, twice, i.e. two bottles before I changed into SKII's celluminization essence.  Yes SKII is much more pricey than Body Shop's so I have to budget nicely when my facial stuff is running out of stock.

p/s I often put up at my FB status for those interested to buy SKII products at discounted prices.

Parking.

For the past 3 years, since I got married, it seems, that most of the time, when I go out, I try not to forget to snap pic of where I park my car, like this..

Tak ingat parking kat mana ni.. Pyramid tak silap..

Padahal dulu, where I park my car, I hardly get lost and I'd ALWAYS know where to find my car, except for once, bulan puasa, first time I went to Berjaya Times Square and I lost myself when I tried to find my car...

Selera Hari Selasa, April 12, 2011

I made this simple salad today (Tuesday, April 12, 2011) and went out to dinner with Ayu at Secret Recipe Glenmarie.  

The simple salad. Just sliced onion, sliced tomato, sliced cucumber, 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of sugar, a dash of salt and 2 tablespoon of olive oil.  Yang sakit hatinya, when I packed this into the fridge, si pakistan ni, dia bawak the whole tupperware to work!! Hangin makcik kejap!! Hehe..! 

Tak silap this was Laksa Singapore or something with camomile tea at Secret Recipe. My meal or rather dinner for that nite.

This was Ayu's dinner.  The camomile tea we ordered by the pot and asked the boy to refill the pot with hot water again and again. Hehe..!

Later that nite, Atif made this mango, guava and papaya fruit salad.  He likes to mix the kuah rojak together rather than me who likes to 'cholet' the fruit separately with the kuah.

Sambal Petai Udang or Sambal Udang Petai?

Thursday, April 7, 2011. I cooked this sambal petai udang or sambal udang petai, whichever comes first actually eh?  If the shrimps are more, it should be sambal udang petai, or vice versa.  Anyway, I guess the amount of the shrimps and petai this time are quite the same.  So here are the pictures.

Ni tengah masak atas dapur.  Cooked this masa kat rumah Melaka.

Terus sejukkan untuk dibawa balik ke rumah Subang.

Sunday, April 10, 2011.  Selalunya goreng sayur letak kicap aje or oyster sauce. Kali ni saja je try goreng sayur letak cili sikit.  I like it yet apparently, Atif dont quite like it.  Tapi sekali sekala I still do it. Tukar selera gak la kan..

Then as usual masaklah nasi pakistan kegemaran laki ku ini.. Yg memang suka aku masak cara mak dia ni.. Minus the minyak sapi though..

Then Atif masak la his famous kari kacang kuda - Chick Peas Curry. Alhamdulillah, sekali sekala, makan dgn nasi pakistan and sayur goreng sedap juga.. hehe..

It's Been A Month.

It's been a month since my last posting. I had wanted to post about all the lost items during the break-in of the Malacca house but been lethargic since the pregnancy.  Still, now that I had to lose it (yes, the pregnancy, DNC done on Friday, June 17, 2011 [exactly a month after our 3rd Wedding Anniversary and my birthday] and now that I have the courage to write again), I thought, oh well, I might as well start with the lost items and the pictures that I had wanted to put up here.  So here they are, all the most beloved items that I have loved and still have lots of hearts for them.  

Here is my little nephew Musa wearing my red arm-sleeves that I often put on (according to my outfit, mind you, which went with the car! I have only this pic of the interior of my beloved Proton Iswara Auto WJV7801. Bought this car in 2002. My first car.

Here is a pic of my first-now-lost aka stolen car.  I took this pic when I sent it for wash at Subang Parade if Im not mistaken, Christmas last year. 

This pic was taken somewhere before CNY this year if Im not mistaken.  The air-cond broke and while having it fixed it broke down again and again. I still miss this baby. Tsk.. tsk.. 

This is a pic of my macbook white taken from the box.  Bought this lappy somewhere in August 2009 before the company I was working for was closed due to economic downturn.

The Aftermath.

My entry on Apr 20, 2011 explained the recent robbery at Malacca house on Saturday nite March 12 / Sunday morning March 13, 2011.  Right after the robbery my lawyer Hilmy managed to rent a car for me to move around. Alhamdulillah. I am thankful and grateful to Allah for putting him in our lives, at the right moment, at the right time.

Chevrolet Aveo Merah.

I purposely took these pics so that I can remember this car berbakti pada aku..

See that hole? That's where the robbers go in. Ni masa cina pintu tengah datang betulkan all the glasses.

These are the former glasses that we replaced. See the corners suma bole nampak, now the glasses suma dah shaded terus.

All done on the left side.

All done on the right side. Bottom tu la dia pecah masuk tu.

Now the main door is grilled all over including the side mirrors tmpt pencuri masuk jugak hehe..

Alhamdulillah. Syukur pada Allah.
