Another working Saturday…

Saturdays off for this month were freezed. It will be brought to next month (well, we'll see). So, today I've to come to office. As other usual Saturdays, I am lalalala-ing la right now. But not 100%, coz Julie is around, back and forth.

Yesterday I went back at 8 pm since for the last fews days, I didn't stay back. We went to the newly-opened tomyam restaurant nearby my office coz I was so lazy to cook ya.

Nothing else to jot, just wanna tell that I have to work today, waaaaa!

Plan to go to some restaurant for lunch, no mood to cook.

A Day in Pelangi Damansara

Yesterday, Yus and Enal, the newly-weds, invited us, Abg Din's and Mak Ndak's family to their condo. Ada makan-makan sket. Memula Papa asked me to make some sandwiches, macam pot luck la gitu, but then, the other day balik from Port Klang tu, reached our house at 12 something, then me played the game on PC till 4 am, wallah, asyik sangat main Turtle Odyssey 2, sampai tak perasan dah pukul 4 am. erk.... I thought baru 2 am! Papa pon belum tido, nak tunggu live football telecast sempena Euro Cup.

Jawabnya mmg tak sempat nak buat the sandwiches since the loaves pon lom beli lagi. Kemas rumah sket2 (ekceli malas nak pergi mengenangkan rumah mcm hapa kan, tapi dah org ajak, takkan tak pegi... lagipon Papa nak bawak the kiddos mandi pool). Dalam pukul 11.30 pg bertolak, asked Papa to hop into Mydin Pelangi Damansara tu, beli some snacks and bottled drinks.

Sampai-sampai je umah diorang tu, terus makan. Yus cooked nasi lemak, sambal udang and sardin. Erk, aku kenyang lagik, sbb dah makan megi sebelum tuh (lapar la, the nite before makan ntah hapa-hapa ntah).

Pukul 1 lebih, naik 4th floor, tengok2 diorang mandi. Saya temankan aje, al maklumla tak reti swimming. Yus ajak gak, rendam2 je katanya, ehehehhe.... dun want la, tak bawak spare baju dalaman, shirt and jeans ada la spare. Qayyum and Qimie, being kiddos, of coz la excited kan. Kitorang siap bawak pelampung lagi.

Then, naik atas balik, Abg Din pon sampai ngan anak dia, Mizan. Just the two of them.

Yus cooked fried meehoon plak, since Mak Ndak's and family were on the way already. I didn't help much, jaga Qayyum je, bagi tido.

2nd trip mandi pool lagi, sampai kecut2 kaki tangan the kiddos.

6.30 pm, balik, we got another mission. To find a suitable taska for the kiddos. Asked Abg Din, he gave me the phone no. I'll call tomorrow. Sofia (Mak Ndak's daughter) rode with us to show the taska, since she knows its whereabout. Before that, singgah kat one hair salon near to my office, they offered RM9.90 for cutting, RM9.90 for shampooing, plus RM2 for treatment shampoo. (Mak Ndak yang promote ni). Okay, since my hair got so many split ends, so I decided to cut 3 inches layered style and asked the hairstylist to make a fringe. Papa suruh potong lagi pendek, but I refused, and the hairstylist also said better not, since my face kan ke round-shaped, kalau potong pendek sangat, sendiri mau ingat la kan.

On the way, Sofia showed us two taskas. Okey, I'll make the calls tomorrow.

A night in Port Klang (21 June 2008)

Saturday nite...

After dinner at Triple 2, PJ, we went to Port Klang. Saja-saja, jenjalan bawak the kiddos. Looks like it was going to rain, the wind was so strong that I thought, is this going to be another tsunami? Nauzubillah, jangan la kan. Tapi aku tgk Papa rileks je, haku dah gerun dah tgk all the coconut trees macam nak sembah bumi, and the waves pon looked strong.

We stayed there for about 30 minutes, sejuk giler. But I'd seen everybody pon sumer rilek je, siap ada one family dok picnic kat area ship replica tu. Qayyum suka la angin2 kuat macam ni.

The kiddos and Papa

Photobucket

Papa at this time actually was ready to go for his fishing trip with his friends in Port Klang.

Ketam Masak Merah

Ketam Masak Merah

Bahan-bahannya:
2 ekor ketam – dibelah dua, digaul dengan serbuk kunyit dan garam, digoreng garing, ketepikan
1 senduk cili kisar
2 sudu besar sos tomato
2 sudu besar sos cili
1 sudu besar sos tiram

Cara-cara memasak:
1 Panaskan minyak dan tumis cili kisar sehingga terbit minyak.
2 Masukkan sos tomato, sos cili dan sos tiram. Kacau sehingga pekat dan masukkan ketam goreng.

Tomyam Seafood

Tomyam Seafood

Nothing special about this recipes. I was using the tomyam cubes only. Put some seafood (red fish slices, prawns, squids) and some of my fave veges (broccoli, cauliflower, button mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, carrot).

SAMBAL UDANG PETAI

Sambal Udang Petai

Bahan-bahannya:
15 ekor udang sederhana
1 senduk besar cili kisar*
1 sudu besar sos tiram
1/2 sudu besar gula merah
Garam secukup rasa
1 labu bawang besar – dihiris kasar
2 papan petai - dibelah 2
Garam secukup rasa

Cara-cara memasak:
1 Panaskan minyak dan tumis cili kisar sehingga naik minyak.
2 Masukkan sos tiram, gula merah, garam dan petai. Kacau sehingga petai masak.
3 Masukkan udang dan bawang besar.

* Cili kisar ni normally I'll do once a week, for stock-up, since Papa kan suka segala macam sambal, so it's easier for me if I have a ready stock in the fridge.

You'll only need to blend one and a half handful of dried chillies (cut into small pcs then boil it). Strain the water and sort out the seeds of course. Then add 1 1/2 onions (or more if u like) and 2 garlics. Blend it and store in an air-tight canister in the fridge. I think it can last for 2 weeks if u use clean and dry spoon each time u wanna scoop it out.

p/s: You can always put some belacan when you blend the chillies but I prefer not to. I will put the belacan while I saute the chilli paste if I awnt to cook sambal tumis. Because sometimes I would make ayam masak merah which do not need the belacan. That is why I don't put the belacan in the first place.

KETAM MASAK LEMAK CILI PADI

Ketam Masak Lemak Cili Padi

Bahan-bahannya:
2 ekor ketam sederhana besar – dibelah 2
1/2 kotak santan segera

1 batang serai – diketuk
Air secukupnya

1 biji cili merah

1 ulas bawang putih
1 ulas bawang merah

1 Masukkan kesemua bahan ke dalam periuk dan didihkan. Kacau sekali sekala sehingga masak.

~Isk~

Cirit birit x okeh lagik la.... tapi dah pegi klinik kat umah aku smalam, dia charge RM35 je + consultation + check up nak dibandingkan dengan panel clinic yang hampes tu kan, tak check menda, air liur je soh minum air banyak dah RM30, sib baik kampeni bayar.

I read Sue's comment to find pucuk jambu. Malam sat gi soh Papa gi survey kat pasar malam Paya Jaras kot ada.

Anyway, smalam Si Qimie pulak cam demam, time aku kat klinik tu takde lak dia demam, kotidak leh join check skali. Lastly, aku tampalkan aje la Kool Fever, sib baik dia nak, sbb masa dia baby dulu, kemain marah bila lekat menda sejuk tuh. Ini disebabkan Qimie mmg la amat liat skali nak makan ubat, way same like his daddy. Qayyum macam haku, senang makan ubat. Bila bagi ubat demam perisa oren tu via syringe tu, dia ingat mummy dia bagi makan gula-gula kot. Suka...

Yesterday is another day of dapur tak berasap.

Still not well

This morning, I felt better so I decided to go to work. But I still got the diaorrhea, but still can managed it.

In the office, my tummy still bloats until now. Put some Minyak Yu Yee Cap Limau, lantak la satu dept bau minyak angin haku ni, slalu bau VS Pure Seduction jek, ekekekke...

Buat keje cam besa, kejap2 ulang pi toilet. Air cap badak, air suam sumer aku dah bedal.

Tapau sambal ikan cencaru, sayur kailan. Same like yesterday, makan 3-4 suapan je, mmg tak leh masuk. Oh ya, before that, dah telan dah ubat cirit-birit ngan ubat muntah. Tanak la muntah lagik, aku tak suka muntah.

Plan nak balik awal ari nih.

~Not well~

Am not feeling very well today, in fact since last night. Yesterday, I had nasi lemak for breakfast, nasi goreng ayam mamak style for lunch (Ane 'tapau'ed for me and Awin) and for dinner, I had home-cooked seafood tomyam.

I didn't know which one made me feel sick. Last night, at 10 pm, suddenly I got a fever. Made me wrapped in blanket, and my head was spinning. I tried to sleep, but my head kept spinning, my tummy felt bloated, and to make things worst, at 4 am, I got diaorrhea. Not only once, but so many times till this morning.

I swallowed 2 pcs of panadols at 4 am, so my fever has gone, but my tummy continues to bloat and it really feels uncomfortable. At first, I thought of not coming to work, but I know Julie must be very very mad if I did so. So, even though I prefer to lie down at home, I still made my way to the office. On the way, tapau some kuihs, untuk alas perut, sbb mmg dah kosong sgt.

In the office, tried to finish 1 pc of bingka roti but macam susah sangat nak habiskan, not to say to finish the other two kuihs. Tak sentuh langsung. Made a mug of milked nescafe, and usually I can finish within an hour, but till now still got half of mug. And yes, I vomited just now....

Food poisoning, I think....

And I'm going to get a half-day leave, no matter if it's approved or not. Am going to Mediviron to seek medication. I can't even concentrate on my work.

But then, just before I wanted to ask Julie for 1/2 day leave, she held a meeting. And in the meeting she was talking about people who always taking MCs la, leaves la, bla bla bla... Laaa cam hancur je harapan aku nih... tapi takpe la, I called Papa kata tak jadi nak amik 1/2 day, sbb pas muntah tadi rasa cam dah okey sket.

Tapau nasi campur (lauk ikan pari asam pedas, sup kubis dan suhun), nasi separuh. In the end, I just ate around 3-4 suapan je. Tak lalu, tak leh masuk, and all the food were tasteless to me.

After lunch, I felt very dizzy, mmg tak larat giler.... Tak leh jadik nih, I decided to ask Julie for a time-off. Called Papa, asked him to fetch me at 3 pm. 1/2 an hour I just sat down at the 1st floor room, melepek kejap. Mmg x larat. 3 something, went to Mediviron. And the doc I don't know what to say la... dia tak check aku langsung. Tak amik blood pressure, heartbeat, or temperature. Just tanya aku sakit apa, sejak bila, pastuh dia kata dia akan bagi ubat. Tak sampai 5 minit pon consultation dia...

Then balik umah, Papa tapau kuey tiow goreng, goreng pisang, cucur udang.... Goreng pisang seketul pon aku amik masa nak dekat 2 jam untuk abiskan, itu pon x abis. Memang sampai je umah, tido melepek. Kepala berat sangat. Tak amik pon Qimie ngan Qayyum, Kak Mimi pon paham. Papa pegi keje balik. Pukul 6 lebih dia balik, aku still melepek.

Bawak mandi syampu ngan Head and Shoulder Menthol nak kasi lega sakit kepala, still won't do wonders. Malam Papa ajak temankan dia tapau since takde sapa nak pegang Qayyum (Qimie tanak balik lak time tuh, sonok agaknya belajar membaca). Soh Papa beli Panadol Actifast (ya, doc tak bagi ubat pening atau demam), air cap badak, koyok...

Balik umah, bawak2 makan nasik ngan sup ekor (supnya aje)... janji perut berisi, in case of throwing-up, at least got something come out from the stomach – learnt from pregnancies, kalau perut masuk angin, and u tak makan, end-up muntah, ha rasakan pahit sepahit2nya bila takde menda nak dimuntahkan). so better u eat something, even so little, at least when u throw up, u won't feel so teruk.

Pas makan, makan panadol, bubuh koyok kat kepala, sempat lagi cakap kat Papa, kalau esok x okey nak ajak dia pegi Klinik Prima kat depan tuh je, lantak la kena bayar pon. Pegi klinik panel pon bukannya baik pon.

At last, at 10 something baru la Qimie nak balik, itu pon membebel naper tak bawak dia pegi kedai makan.

~Mak~

Oh ya, yesterday also my mum's follow-up check up in Selayang Hosp. I called her because she didn't dropped by to our house since we were working at that time.

Mak told me that, her eye's vision is just the same like before the operation. So she asked the doc, can't the vision be any brighter? The doc said, no, the main reason why the operation had been conducted was to prevent from blindness not to correct the vision. And he said to come for another check-up next month on the 15th, also due for another operation, for the left eye.

While doing my work, I browsed WMC, and I found a cute red Carter's romper just nice for my Qayyum. Since his birthday was due by next month, so I bought the romper, RM24 + RM6 (postage). I like!

~Yesterday~

Yesterday
All the thing seems to be far away....


Suddenly I'm singing this song. Nothing about it anyway, but I love this song, the only song that I like by The Beatles.

Hmm, yesterday at first I thought I wanna stay back in the office to finish up whatever layouts (2nd proofs) that I had. It's better that I stay back during these few days since Papa will be back early, so I don't have problems to stay back. When it comes for him to stay back, I can't stay back. But then, suddenly, the laziness of me came. I tried to call Papa a few times but cannot reach, maybe he was in the underground office, no network over there.

6.30 pm, he called me. I said I wanna go back, than he said, it's already 6.30... I said, I still wanna go back. So he said, okay... (Well by the time he arrived to my office, it was already 7, normally I will stay back until 8, so now u understand why he asked me earlier, right?)

I don't care, in my mind, there was a lot of things that I want to settle in our house. I wanna do the cleaning, cooking, etc, etc...)

Jammed like hell all the way. It was all because of the reconstructions of the road. Sometimes I think this thing will make the road unsafe for us, the motorists.

Arrived home, I directly went to the kitchen, took out the seafood. At the same time, I also press the washing machine to start working.

I cooked masak lemak ketam with tomatoes (i don't have pineapples) and sambal tumis udang petai. Crabs are Haqimie and Papa's fave. I prefer the prawns since it's quite difficult to enjoy crabs with all their hard shells.

Our meals for tonite's dinner

After dinner, I hang the clothes outside since I know I'll never have much time to do that in the morning. I swept and mopped the floor. I guess Papa will be very surprise to see my 'kerajinan'. Me seldomly have enough times fot those house chores. I thought of folding the clothes-in-baskets-already-for-few-days but I was just tired. After putting Qayyum to sleep, it's Mummy's turn!
