a.k.a Pengat Pisang (mind me, I am thinking of a name for an upcoming food competition, hence the reason for the direct translation)

All this while, back in Malaysia, pengat pisang is not my kind of food. Boleh je makan, but like Abah said "kalau orang tak bagi pun, takde la terasa hati". Ohhh…..when it comes to food, I am categorised as 'enjek' (cerewet). Jadi memang mengada2 lebih sikit bab food. (I think I have mentioned this somewhere in previous posts).

Hence, it is not surprising that I don't even know how to make pengat pisang (and sekelompok dengannya such as bubur kacang). Even after I got married because Din is not a big fan of any kind of bubur/pengat as well.

Then, one fine day, I went to a farewell party. Makan pengat pisang 3 kali. Then, that night, I send message to tuan rumah : "If you got leftovers pengat pisang, can I come to tapau??". Errrrr……………malu tak malu?? Din dah tak larat nak kutuk diri ini. Especially because when he asked for some of the tapau food, wife dia buat muka mcm tak ikhlas je bagi. But, who cares???

At this moment, I am in the middle of cooking pengat pisang. Don't know what to expect because this is my first time. Macam la susah sangat…..bukan 'beryani gam' pun…huhuhu. Just, a question to ponder: "Why don't I appreciate what I have until it's gone??" (or in this case, susah nak dapat….).

Note: If tak appreciate pengat pisang, takpe la. It won't be gone forever. Takde bahan pun still boleh adjust sikit sebanyak. Tapi kalau tak appreciate keluarga, kawan?? Or, rezeki yg ada?? The ability to see, to feel??

I am so very particular when it comes to travel arrangement.

I always freak out before travelling anywhere (dekat atau jauh) because I don't like not having agenda on where, what and how.

Main reason is, when you don't have agenda, you lost valuable time in figuring out where to go, apatah lagi kalau sesat. I VALUE each and every minute of my travel. Tidak boleh rugi seminit. Marah betul kalau orang lambat!!

Then, perut pun mulai lapar. Bila lapar...tau2 saja la. Segala benda tak kena. Then, si kecik pun mula meragam2 because sudah bosan.

Ended up, badan penat, duit habis, tapi tak happy.

 

Due to that, I always 'mesti' plan my travel. Kalau boleh, to the littlest details.

Sources of information would be the website of tempat nak dituju.

And I really appreciate personal blogs, which detail kan perihal trip diorang. Senang, tiru je itinerary mereka!!

Tapi of course, sometimes kena jugak give way to uncertainty, like weather etc.

And if kita pergi tempat orang, ikut aje la tourist guide yang lebih arif tentang tempat mereka. Lagi best tak perlu pikir2.

 

Hmmm....in the middle of preparing itinerary for the upcoming trips.

Yang pasti tidur malam ku mulai dihantui mimpi-mimpi ngeri.....

Terutamanya > Mimpi tertinggal flight!!!!

Dari kecik sampai besar mesti la mimpi tertinggal bas/flight kalau nak pergi mana-mana......waaaaaa.......

 

P/s: Sadly, some bloggers are not comfortable in giving details about their trip, at least not anymore. Tuan punya blog berniat baik nak share information > malangnya ada jugak yg disalah ertikan seperti dilabel 'show off', 'banyak duit sangat', 'tak study, asyik gi jalan' whatsoever. Personally, I don't care sebab I strongly believe that Allah Maha Mengetahui.

Jiranku :

Kenapa la you bring anjing to your apartment?
Sebelum keluar rumah, dah dengar bunyi mcm serigala howling. I thought it was just some people playing prank post-Halloween. Keluar je rumah, terkujat yg amat sbb anjing menyalak kat tepi kaki je.
Walaupun sbnrnya anjing tu ada dalam rumah, tapi sbb pintu kami dekat sangat, sangat takut sbb rasa mcm stuck antara anjing tu dan pintu. So, menggelabah sebab tak boleh lari kemana2. Cehhhh....nearly heart attack tau!
Siap Adelia complaint "ewww....smelly-nya".
Halo jiran, saya malas cakap banyak. Saya dah complaint kat manager ye. Anjing tak bersalah, tapi tuan yg bersalah. Apartment super-comel, ko biar je anjing tu stuck dlm rumah menyalak2, okay.

Spicers :

I don't mind changes, tapi cheese scone 'baru' dekat Spicers hari ni is TIDAK SEDAP!!
Cheese scone, tapi rasa mcm jemput2 bawang yang dibakar. Apakah?
Terus hilang mood untuk marking paper sambil layan coffee.
Marking itu memerlukan mood yang 'baik' sekiranya tidak mahu 'tidak berlaku adil' terutamanya kepada tuan punya tulisan yang 'cantik'.

P/s: who can recall dialog diatas???

Tidur la wahai permaisuri...

Susah nak tidur, susah nak bangun. Itu la 'penyakit' saya, which is now sudah diwarisi oleh Adelia.

Susah betul dia nak tidur. Selagi kita tak tidur, selagi tu la dia tak tidur. Kadang2 kita try masuk tidur awal, macam2 taktik Adelia ni supaya tidak tertidur.

'Mom, I want to read a book for you'.

Dah habih baca buku....

'Mom, your turn to read for me'

Pastu...

'Mom, i want to EAT'.....coz she knows I will let her. Kesian, anak nak makan, mesti la bagi kan.

Pastu...

'Mom, Adelia belum BOSOK gigi'.....(Note : bosok is for gosok). Biasanya berperang kalu nak berus gigi... tak nak tidur punya pasal, rajin plak.

Ended up, saya jugak ler yg takleh tidur sampai kul 3-4 pagi. Yelah, dah terlepas waktu tidur, terus tak boleh tidur. Bukan boleh buat kerja berfaedah pun. Abih2, layan perasaan sampai tertidur.

Then, fikir2, maybe sebab jadual harian dia tak betul. Usually, dia akan tertidur lepas balik kindy, around 5 p.m. Tengah makan pun boleh tertidur. Lepas tu, pukul 7 p.m dia akan terbangun dan kembali aktif. Maybe itu la penyebab dia susah nak tidur.

So, arrange la dengan teacher supaya dia sleep/rest sekejap di kindy. Dekat kindy ni, optional, boleh inform kalau nak minta bagi nap time.

After several days, the teacher said "She is too energetic to sleep" or in other words "Adelia tak nak tidur la kat kindy".

So, camne? I know how hard it is to get her to sleep, so boleh imagine la masalah teachernya.

Last, bagi dia tgk CD sampai tertidur. Walaupun kadang2 masih energetic selepas 2 round CD Madagascar......

Oh Adelia, nanti dah tua2 mcm mummy, baru la Adelia tau betapa bestnya kalau boleh tidur lama2.....
