Kalo Dapur Tak Berasap.... 1

....bermakna mak ngah merajok/mogok. heee... Iye puan-puan, hari ini kita akan mencuba resipi baru yang disukai ramai. :D Lauk yang popular di antara golongan remaja mahupun kalangan "KerTu" (Ke arah Tua.. ehek...) ialah tak lain tak bukan "Daging masak pedas manis @ Daging Sweet Spicy". :D

Personal joke : Join 2 words together and you came up with a part of the anatomy. hahahaaa!
Now that's hilarious!

OMG! I myself am getting goosebumps reading what I just wrote. Urgh! My Malay so rabz, think I'll just stick to what I know eh. This, is much better. :) malu nyer...

Well anyways..
I'm so pumped yo'all!
What with the unofficial New Year just tmr, try as u might, you cannot escape from having resolutions all listed down so as to better the humankind in general. I say go for it! Change starts first with the man in the mirror so with that oh-so positive note, your dearest fren here is about to enter the year 2008 with much drive, focus and what can I say...I'm aiming high. :D Insya Allah. I've just single-handedly prepared yet another dish. Mak did help to open the tomato puree can but other than that, I was the sole chef for the evening. Happinesssss!!!

Pen to paper to remember much better, so here goes :

~ daging - cut away the fats and to wash and rinse with a lil' salt. (salt actually takes away the smell and makes the meat turn a nice red. Go figure.)

~ bawang besar, bawang putih, chili kering - chili kering to soak 1st with hot/warm water. Wash. Dice the bawangz and wash. Blender the ingredients with lil' water till liquidify.

- titik lemongrass.

~ heat wok with a lil' oil.

~ Pour the blended itmes into wok bit by bit. Add the lemongrass. Leave till garing skit.

~ add the meat cubes. Gaul.

~ salt and sugar to taste. ajiNOmoto for me although mak insisted for me to add just a dash but I won't allow it. I love my hair too much to scrutinise the taste of ma food.

At this stage, the dish is already completed to me. It is Spiceeeeeeeey... But because the other members of my family can't take spice well esp abah and an extremely annoying bunny, I added tomato puree to tone down the pedas w/o adding more sugar. At a girl! Woo hoo!!

Cooking is fun! I like this. Going forward to be a better person I mean. Insya Allah God will guide me the whole journey through. I sure hope this is not one of those typical times for me where the flame burns bright but extinguishes faster than you can say "empty resolution". Insya Allah I will be guided and Insya Allah I can be as good a chef as me mum. Amin.

Kinda hesitant to put up this pic.. The wok is not what i would call "Ikea-standard" but mak insisted that it's the wok that brings the taste in the food. hahahaaa! Mum knows best!

Wah la! Not bad for a first attempt I must say. Yes, the chili slices are but a garnish to the dish. I'm a strict follower of the mantra" eat with your eyes, not just your mouth." Isn't it simply pretty!!!! I am shameless... I know. :S Heee...

Looks isn't everything. Beauty is but skin deep... It lies in the eyes of the beholder... blah blah blah.. ya da.. ya da.. ya da... Dun mean to boast, but a picture paints a thousands compliments and abah here is one satisfied diner. He gave me a "B"! The only reason he didn't give me an A was because it was meat instead of his favourite crabs.. Wat? I'll take that as an A then. :P


hmmm... the thumbs up don't look convincing ar....



Ready for take! Take 2!
Ahhhh ... Much better! (nak makan pon tak sonang. hahahaaa!!!)

What's next on the menu? You'd love to find out wouldn't ya. *winkz*

Escapeessss..!

Niece Nadia's leaving on her jetplane... Smart girl!

I've come to realise that I'm the sort who "wears her heart on her sleeve". It's an idiom or Peribahasa to mean I am someone who my express my emotions freely and openly. One look and you'll know I'm happy or otherwise. This is something that I cannot control. It's a part of being Aishah. Lil wonder when I'm flustered, ppl will tell me to calm down and not be so stressed. hmmmm.... I can't imagine how I must look when in stress. Chill Shah. Chill... Sheesh!

An attempt to cheer myself up really. This post is littered with pix snapped on our trip to Escape Theme Park. Sis had 3 adult tix FREE so there you go. No explanation necessary. heheheee...
3 letters I cannot get enuf of -> FOC. :)
Oh yah, another self-realisation. Aishah is scardy-cat of heights!!! Even the ferris wheel for kids makes her grabbed the handles so tight, her knuckles were white. hahahahaha!
Shah...... Shah. *shakes Shah's head*

The 'Roll-a-Ball" game. The horsies were cute I tell ya !!! :)
and the jockey who won the race? .........................
....................... Oya Oyea! She won the blue doggie toy! Clap clap! :D



~> Waiting in line to be helicopter pilots. ;)
~> Mocking Aishah Auntie by posing scared at the Ferris Wheel ride! :S
In queue to enter the Haunted House. We may look petrified here
but this is but a posed picture of fear. Look at Gji! hehehehee...! It's more HAHAHA House coz we just went in, had huge lafs then went out by the same entrance door! Gosh! hahahahaa!!
I just love the kids!
It's a bird!~~~~~~ It's a plane~~~~

<~~ Nah.. It's just Aha on a damn scary Superman Ride! :P

With the Terrible Trio. :D I miss her.... ~~>




Why is it rockin???? hahahahaaaaa!!

Can I just disappear for a while?

At home being sick.
The state of mind is at the moment......... "UNDRIVEN".
Absolutely "UNDRIVEN".

Quarreled with mak. Not proud of it but at the same non-apologetic. Honestly, I just go 'blah' rather than "I'm sorry." The reason for my smug attitude? Only I know and only I feel strongly about. Unnecessary heartache and acute noise pollution. I just want OUT but dun think it's the best of time to move out since Haru Raya Haj is just around the corner. Speaking from experience, a small black dot will magnify into a huge hell-hole if I were to move out now. Drama runs in the family and the award for the best actress goes to......................... Sigh....
I'm sorry. I'm just sorry.
I hope my unborn-children will not be such a burden to me as I am to Mak. It's unexplainable. The black sheep in the family then. Still the black sheep in the family now.
Is it the tone of my voice when I talk? Is it just the attitude that I exude w/o even realising?
Is it my temper which I fail to control? Or is it just BEING ME that is the problem???

Honestly I think it's all of the above. It's not as if I dun try to be a better person overall. It's just that the situation most times influences my emotions.

I'll stop here. I just hope the relation will improve that's all. Sometimes I think it can only improve if I were to either approve/agree/ say "yes" all the time eventhough I know the person is wrong/being difficult/petty. Sigh.......


Time is 1551hrs on a Friday noon. I'm on a standstill. I'm not motivated.
I'm scared I'll have a relapse.

Ya Allah... PLEASE be with me.

It really was an Enchanted day yesterday.
Nevermind the movie, I am totally smittened by my prince charming.

I loved every bit of it.

I love him.


.~.~.~.~.~.~ how can I miss him when he's standing beside me?.~.~.~.~.~.~

.~.~.~.~.~.~how can I breathe and not be lost? .~.~.~.~.~.~

.~.~.~.~.~.~ why are there tears when I'm not crying? .~.~.~.~.~.~

.~.~.~.~.~.~Why do I feel empty and complete at the same time? .~.~.~.~.~.~



It feels too much sometimes but I still want more....... More of us.

Just went to the pantry to get me a cup of mocha + hot cocoa when I kinda "tango-ed" with this WO-MAN. Dah lah tak mandi... bo-Doh! Urgh! The audacity of some idiots....! Instead of saying "excuse me" or "oops" (and smile) or just smile, or just a pleasant snigger for GOD's sake, this sad excuse of a human being decided to bark "go go go!" ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
ARE YOU FREAKIN' KIDDING ME???!!!!! Mutants! MU-TANTS!
If looks could kill, she should have been dead. Murdered by me staring at her. I wanted to speak out but I would really think that I would have cursed out instead so I just kept mum. Sigh...
Aaaaaargh!!!! Such a DOLT!!! this happened like 10 minutes ago and I'm still pissed. Sigh.....
God! Pleeeeeeeeez give me the patience to "handle" these unfortunates who have lesser than I.
They may seem happy and joyful but really..... they are the most unfortunates of all ppl and they dun even know it!

How come ar? Why am I happy when ppl are down?
I watched Deal or No Deal yday and I gotta say it was THE most enjoyable and satisfying episde of the gameshow I've caught so far. hahaaa! The poor woman won $25! How sod is that? She opened most of the BIG money cases and even turned down the banker's offer of $25Gs just because there was a lone $100,000 case left unopened. Hahahaha!!! You should have seen her face when she chose a case and opened it to reveal the $100k inside. Hahahahahahaa! Now that's what I call Entertainment!. :P
I'm not trying to be less evil than I am for explaining this but honestly I dun have anything against the contestant. She's purely entertaining me with her embarrasement and greed. And the fact that before/after she chose a case to open, she'll explain why she chose that particular no makes me like her more. Like we need to know her school reg no is 17???! apa dah...
ahahahhaa!
But all in all, at the end of tha day, when work completes, it's fun to see ppl get what they deserve. A taste of their owne medicine... No one to blame but ur sorry self.
Sometimes, in my line of work, we all feel like setting the users straight and telling them that they are downright WRONG and stupid and noisy and we're just plain disgusted by having to still be nice to these baffons just so we can pass our QAs. "Look you moron. U're wrong and u know it. Barking in the fon at me does not make you right even remotely so shut ur trap and listen..." is so much more satisfying than passing your damn QA.

A lot has happened these few weeks. I'm affected if you can't already tell.
It's taking a toll on ma health. I hate this feeling.

Good or bad, there's always a reason why..... So I try not to question and just face head on.
Insya Allah I'll be given the strength physically and emotionally.

Oh yah, times like this, I'm gald there's MADDOX. I like him. The father of nasty. hahahaa!
Maddox Da Man!!!
