Lately I get Backpain..

Lately I get back pain always… why? Coz I dah jarang lepak at my SOHO anymore.. I lebih banyak baring kat katil jer senang for me sebab Diya always bug me suruh duduk dekat ngan dia especially when she play “tea time”.. but bila dia leka ngan her toys I duduk lah balik kat kerusi tu buat kerja.. kerja aper? Ha sila lah read my earlier posting yer :p :P :P.. but by the time she notice im not near her, mula lah tarik-tarik tangan until at one time asal I gerak jer she say NO!! I gerak sikit lagi she shout again NO..NO..NO!! hahahaha… sikecik nih dah pandai instructing us the elderly hehehe.. and so, the long hours in bed lama-lama buat I sakit pinggang and selalu lenguh kaki! Yeah, I use lots of PILLOW but still pinggang rasa mcm keropok dah hehe..

Then I teringat IKEA! Ha, Ikea tu dulu I ader nampak laptop holder! Rm19.9o kalau tak salah.. there is another version too rm69.00  .. naaaaah.. I don’t need expensive one lah I dah ader meja untuk buat kerja, cukup boleh alas kat peha dah la and I tak payah nak bongkok too often lagi..

On Saturday morning my BFF Debbie called ajak I coffee-coffee and she was already in IKEA; terus I say bie, belikan aku laptop holder yg rm19.90 tu, later I meet you I will pay you back :p .. then bila sampai jer they were already at the frame section but missed to get the thing I wanted.. alahai.. malasnyer nak patah balik.. place was so packed! Ok lah lain kali jer lah I beli (told myself dalam hati lah :p). Sunday morning I woke up early took car keyes and straight to the mall, sampai jer Ikea dah bukak, grab the loan yellow bag, selit sana sini ikut all shortcut to the computer/office section and terus grab the laptop holder tu. Ader dua version, one with cushion and costs a lot more.. dah la yang murah je dah cukup hehe.. like bie reminded me over coffee semalam: sue everytime u think of buying any crap just remember me haha.. with all the money you can buy insurance for Diya! Remember insurance very important tau! Hahaha… ya ya bie, I know.. now I belanja ikut what I need je lah :p :p :p

So balik rumah very happy and I terus blog bout this.. hehe.

Motivation

Hello there everyone..

Recently I am so excited to write.. Blogging? Yeah write on blogs.. Reason for the excitement? Hehe.. I got myself a new “home” for both my online shop and my own personal blog where mostly I write what I have in mind. Thanx to my dear friend Natasha on her lovely work; inspires me so much to write. she also registered and tutored me on how to earn money with Nuffnang Malaysia while blogging.. since I LOVE blogging so much, she said I might as well try to earn something with my writings.. So now I can write and get pocket money (hopefully hehe..)… New Mac Book White is definitely the right decision made. I am fully equipped to start my new career.. WAIT!!!! Something is missing!.. but what??

So later evening I just had to get out of the house and think what exactly I am missing here.. went to a supermarket nearby simply browsing around till I saw this CUTE mug!!! It has cupcakes, cake, cup n saucer, printed on it and I think that’s it!!!! Suits my blog concept and exactly in the color I love the most; pink/peach!

Now I am complete!

Coffee Any One?

~~~~ Picture is from google search and not originally mine ~~~~

Coffee…  Oh how I LOVE coffee early in the morning and another later in the evening.. sipping coffee at my coffee table quietly with laptop in front of me facing the nice garden view at home is the best moment for me in each of my day.. I used to drink coffee all the time, day and night. But later when I got pregnant all that has to stopped. Yeah, I gave up on my “Tall Skinny Decaf Latte with One Pump of caramel To Go” at Starbucks for almost 3 years already. Haha.. quite a name for a coffee eh? Hehe.. Yeah.. That was MY coffee! It was quite difficult at first but knowing my baby is more important than any other thing in this world and so I quit. Having a ‘Best Friend Forever’ who’s is also coffee person makes it harder for me to leave my habit huhuhuhuhu.. we would go coffee on weekends, sometimes after work too and if we hangout at each other place; coffee is the only drink we would serve to each other. Hers would always be “Black Coffee Of The Day” at Coffee Bean. Ya, we favor different coffee shops but still we would drink them together! Sometimes I tapau mine and lepak at her spot or the other way round hehe..

Shhhhhh… sometimes I do sip coffee a bit here and there at home hehe.. alar, maner boleh tahan kalau terus berhenti kan? Sikit-sikit ader lah jugak I minum kat rumah, normal Nescafe lah. Once I tried ‘Kopi Kampung Kuantan’ which is sedap too but buat I sakit kepala sikit lah and I find the kopi a bit leceh to make. Must boil the kopi with water then sieve baru boleh letak sugar and drink.

Tapi yang sebenarnya I suka bout my coffee time is the feeling of peace, comfort and happiness at that very particular moment when no one is around; just me and my mind. I wish at that time when I have more time on my own I would be more passionate on writing. I should have learned writing earlier supposedly but its ok, things are good now too. I can learn NOW. Diya is much older now and I can start to have my ‘Me Time’ soon… I can bring her to coffee shops too, let her watch her cartoon while I go online with my laptop there kan? And once she started schooling lagi bagus lah kan, I can have more time on my own then.. can hardly wait! There are so many things I feel like I want to write.. bout me, Diya, my plans for the future and many more.. I want to write bout food too. Oh, my cooking book project is ‘ON’ already! Sikit-sikit I am compiling, and bila dah cukup I will try to get ‘somebody’ to read and if ader rezeki why not publish it too kan? Heheheh.. I think I should.

So that is all about my coffee story!

Cili Padi and The Maid.

~~~picture is from google search and not originally mine~~~~

Cili padi? Kenapa tajuk I tulis hari ni lain macam je bunyiknyer? Ha…. Let me tell all of you the story..

Hari nih actually I plan nak bawak Diya keluar jalan ke Ikea kejap. I wanted to get her a box to keep all her toys organized cause lately she really likes small miniature kind of toys especially her “Happy Meal” gifts.. hehehhe.. and so I went to Giant; a nearby hypermarket alone. Neways while I was there I was able to get Diya some cute gardening tool toys for her to play with at grandma’s. I did met some nice folks too, they greet me and even chat a little bit while we all queuing to pay at the counter. So kira not bad jugak lah the neighborhood here but I still prefer my own place lah hhheheh.. I couldn’t get what I want (the box of cause, it was too expensive and I think IKEA is much more cheaper) there and thought takper lah later I boleh beli kat IKEA jer.. oh, I did get myself chocolate drink mix – Cadbury instant chocolate drink and thought to get caramel sauce too. To think again I remembered I still have whipping cream in the fridge. Whipping cream and hot chocolate drink? What else can be better than that? Ahaks…

Later I sampai rumah and lunch was ready. I rest a while and joined my family dine. Dishes were udang masak lemak belimbing, ikan tenggiri goreng and sayur kangkung goreng. I pun makan lah. SEDAP… Dua, tiga suap masih sedap lagi then later baru lah I mula rasa tak semacam! My mouth was burning slowly and it went through my throat to my stomach!!!! Pedas!!!!!! I looked at my plate and saw tangkai cili padi! I must have eaten one of it without noticing and mistaken it with buah belimbing tu. My eyes started watering and my head feels so HOT! I ran to the sink and gargle tap water.. still can’t, ran to the bathroom and put my head under shower for sometime while still I gargle tap water. I say bukan pedas tapi panas lah kot? Mulut tu rasa macam bengkak, tekak pedih sangat and perut panas. My mother felt bad for putting the ‘cili campak’ in the gravy and maid didn’t bother to separate the gravy for me like she usually does. Maybe she was busy that time as my uncle was on his way from Kuantan to stay over few days here. I couldn’t say anything as my lips were NUMB and still hot! I just close my eyes in bed and didn’t say anything. Everyone should know better I cant tolerate spicy food, not even a little bit. I used to LOVE spicy food until I had chemo. I cried once when my husband brought back chicken burger with chili sauce and another time when my maid got me chicken kebab which somehow tasted spicy. Ingat I main-main ker tak tahan pedas? Memang tak boleh tahan pedas tu, sikit pun tak boleh. Ingat I tak boring ke makan bland and tasteless food? I pun nak makan sedap jugak like I used to.. all those bihun tomyam lah, mee goreng mamak lah, char kuey teow la.. but what to do, I just cant tahan chili.

But after awhile Alhamdulillah pedas tu hilang and rasa menyengat tu pun berkurang. My throat still hurts a bit but manageable. Later my uncle arrived and his turn to have lunch, he offered me to come and join him my quick and fast answer “ish, tak nak.. tak nak” heheheheheh…. He wonders of cause and later my mom explained hehehe..

So moral of the story.. I can not makan makanan PEDAS!

Diya; Cuci-Cuci Services & Petite Cupcakes

Diya  ni kelakar lah… kita nak basuh kereta dia pun sibuk nak cuci jugak.. Ha! Tengok gaya dah macam cerita cuci-cuci services the series je kan?? Hehhehe…well, tu lah my baby Diya Zafeerah and at almost 3 years old.. very the ‘kepochi’ lah.. aper kita buat dia pun sibuk nak buat hehehe.. but again, good lah to see her like that.. means she’s is active and normal and not passives. Alhamdulillah, I am gifted with a beautiful and lovely baby girl and funny too! She is my strength.. I must be strong for her.

few days back I did some cupcakes for desert for my mom’s guests and Diya LOVES them! I made butter cupcakes with strawberry buttercream and double chocolate cupcakes with mocha buttercream. Diya went; Hmmm… Shedappp! Sampai 3 pieces Diya makan hari tu sampai myself naik risau coz she has eczema and too much of da cakes will definitely trigger her allergy.. so far soo good.. that night she slept well with mild scratching jer.

So today I decided to make another batch for her only that this time I made petite sizes! Perfect fit for her small n cute mouth heheheh.. sekali ngap jer dia makan! I also did thought her to lick the cream using her fingers hehehhehe… simply for the sake of having FUN lah! After all she is a small kid kan???
