Its Time

It has been three years. It is now time for a change.

For a breathe of fresh air.

Its time to grow.

Goodbye Basar & Harun Sdn.

Hello Northcroft Lim Perunding.

Goodbye

Today's my last day at work. Gaji dah clear. Meja tak kemas lagi. Tak start kemas pun lagi. Perasaan malas menusuk di sanubari. What can they do? Fire me? Wakakaka. Good luck!

p/s: I so should be clearing backlogs rite now.

Simpsonize Me!

Today Papa got Simpsonized! Check it out y'all.

Sama tak y'all?

Memandangkan aku teruja dengan perubahan tersebut, check me out!



Hmm..I don't think I look like me, y'all. The simpsonized me looks better, wakaka.



And this is Adam.

I'll be taking a long break next week. Monday sampai Wednesday. Going back to JB to prepare for my majlis this November.

Don't forget y'all, sila ke myweddingwebsite for gift ideas.

Hari Ini Cheesecake Pulak

OK confirmed. My last day here shall be on the 28th of this month. Yayy! I still have 6 days annual leave, but I'll be taking only three days. They wanted to pay me for the 3 days, but I said takpelah. Amal jariah. Wakakaka. Bolehla cover hari-hari yang aku ponteng kerja, masuk lambat, balik awal.

Sigh, I'm sure gonna miss the flexibility of this office. Dua hari aku cuti tanpa menginform office. Diorang ingat aku pegi meeting. Wakakakaka. Betapa bebasnya office ini. Company lagi satu tu company cina, so mungkin lebih strict dan stress level lebih tinggi. Tapi takpe. Insya Allah gua boleh handle.

p/s:Kak Linds buat blueberry cheesecake semalam lepas tu hari ni dia bawak sikit bagi aku. Nampak macam OK Ok jek. Tak sabarnya nak rasa.

My Delicious Curry

Yesterday's buka puasa session was a success! Everybody loved it, especially me lah of course.

I started cooking as early as 12:00 pm, just in case you know. And true enough, something went really wrong. I poured water from a kettle into my curry to make it less thick but instead of plain water, it was chrysanthemum tea! Nasib baik aku tak masukkan ikan lagi dalam kari tu. Tinggal ikan jeklah anyway, yang lain semua dah masukkan. But the second time, it was marvellous. Lazat gilers. Yummy.

The only kegagalan was my custard pudding yang terlalu cair. Tapi cair-cair pun si Kak Yen makan sampai separuh jugak habis!

Wakaka. So the next time I cook, maybe in two or three months time, I'll be sure to invite uols.

Two Posts in One Day?

Man, I must be bored!

Sebenarnya, aku cuma nak bagitahu yang Zufri suruh aku masak lauk berbuka puasa besok. Well sebenarnya aku yang offer, tapi dia pastinya lebih sudu daripa kuah ataupun kuah daripa sudu. But since we're going somewhere then kena postpone sampai Sunday. Hehe aku dah cuak sebenarnya pasal dia suruh buat kari ikan, sambal udang plus ayam goreng. Over mamat ni. Tapi aku jugakla yang salah pasal bagi dia pilih menu masakan. Macam banyak sangat lauk kan, so setelah dinegotiate, kami membuat keputusan untuk buang menu sambal udang. Nasib baik, pasal dia nak yang sebijik macam makcik dia buat and hoo boy, his auntie cooks one helluva sambal udang!

Setelah disearch dalam mesra.net, dapatlah resipe Kari Ikan Ala Penang. Kui kui kui. Insya Allah berjaya!

p/s: meeting cancelled daa. Berbuka di rumahla nampaknya! Nak pegi beli custard berkuah dekat pasar ramadan Kelana Jaya. Yummy.

Hari ni second day puasa. Korang puasa tak? Hehe puasa last year aku tak habis bayar, banyak sangat 14 hari. Tinggal sikiiiiiit je lagi nak ganti. Pagi tadi aku tak bangun sahurlah. Kak Yen kejut dah, tapi dengan dia-dia sekali tertido balik tanpa sempat makan. Semalam jugak aku tak pergi Terawikh, pasal biasalah hari pertama puasa angin banyak naik kepala. Pening tak ingat.

And I think Gwyneth Paltrow is so pretty. I hated her nakedness in Great Expectations (and the movie too, ataupun mungkin aku je yang tak faham cerita tu), tapi aku sangat sukakan dia dalam Shakespeare's In Love. Dia dapat award, kan untuk cerita tu? Lagi satu iklan "Damiani" dalam majalah InStyle. Cantik betul. Baguslah.

Hari ni aku pakai jam hantaran aku lagi hehe. Semalam masa beli makanan buka puasa di bazar Ramadan di Putrajaya, masa tengah lintas jalan, tiba-tiba Zufri tengok pergelangan tangan aku dan dalam nada penuh tuduhan menuduh aku memakai jam baru kesayanganku tu (Of course aku dah hapuskan bukti. Simpan dalam beg sebelum ambil dia di rumah wakaka). I was so nervous I swear he knows I'm lying! But I am, afterall, a superb actress and managed to fool him yet again. Hehehe. Syabas. Anywaysss, salah ke aku pakai jam kesayanganku ni? What if I died tomorrow, without ever having had the chance to wear my watch in public? Tak kesian ke kat aku? Anyway, aku dah buat resolusi bulan Ramadan bahawasanya aku akan memakai jam kesayanganku ni setiap kali aku pegi Terawikh so aku boleh time berapa lama Imam tu buat dua rakaat. Makcik sebelah aku hari tu mesti kata aku tak penyabar orangnya. Pasal tula aku bawak jam kesayanganku pegi kerja semalam. Takut kalau tak buka kat rumah, nak pegi Terawikh terus, at least aku ada jam kesayanganku, bwahahahaha.

Petang ni pulak aku ada meeting pukul 5:30 petang. Boleh? Mana la nak carik tempat buka puasa ni?

The One With the Farewell Lunch.

Kak Linda and I both sponsored our farewll lunch today. Yelah, besok kan nak puasa. Takkan nak buat time buka puasa pulak. Sure ramai orang tak datang.

Semua orang berwajah gembira hehe

Clockwise from tree - Farhan a.k.a Tengku Jefri (serious jijiks), Fazril a.k.a. Del, Fairuz a.k.a. Wahab, Kak Syer, Kak Su and Abang Som

Dari kiri : Kak Ros, The Great En. Basar, En. Wan Din, Abg. Nasir, Kak Linds dan Kak Zah (hidden)

So we had Laksa Johor yang diidam-idamkan setelah sekian lama.

OKlah. I just don't get people who cook Laksa Johor but provide some stupid sambal instead of sambal belacan. I mean, do your research lah. You guys are caterers, you should know how the real Laksa Johor is cooked. And the caterers overprovided our food and expects us to overpay. Hey ho, no no no man. We asked for 15 Laksa Johor and 15 Nasi Goreng, but they gave us 30 of each instead! After a discussion with the boss, they told us to just pay half, but by all means eat 'em all hehe.

Kak Linda makes the most amazing custard pudding berkuah ever. Seriously. Nampak je comot tapi tu pinggan dia jek sebenarnya.

I'm sure this is is going to go down as the Most Amazing Farewell Lunch Ever in the history of Basar & Harun Sdn.!

p/s: Tadi Kak Ros kata Encik Basar & Encik Harun kata and I quote "Eh bila pulak I bagi dia berhenti hujung bulan ni?". wtf?

The One When I'm Scared

I have decided never again to write in anger.

Al-Fatihah.

Today my Nek Teh passed away.

Now I only have only one nenek sedare.

Al-Fatihah.

The One With the Kursus Kawin

Two weekends ago, we attended our Kursus Nikah at the world famous Zura's Akademik. Why is it that all the speakers have to talk dirty? And how come the supposedly polite and demure orang timur gelak gedik mengada-ngada sambil melirik ke arah pasangan masing-masing? One or two speakers were good. Nice and very informative.

One actually said-

Speaker:U bukak baju dia, u nampak apa? Tetek, kan? U ramas-ramasla tetek dia. Kalau takde respon, u tau yang kecik dekat tetek dia tu. Alah apa lah nama dia..apa..puting?"

Crowd: Wargh wargh wakakaka. PUTING!!

Speaker: Hah..puting. U gentel puting dia.

Wtf?! Was that even necessary? Seriously eww OK. He was trying to explain what a Janda Berhias is. Anyway its a divorced virgin. Period.

-------------------------------

We were stuck in a long long looooong crawl from Slim River aaaaalllll the way to Bukit Beruntung last night. Zufs almost peed in a bottle. Thank God he didn't. We stopped at Tapah R&R. Fuiyoo..happening gilers tempat tu! More happening than some of the shopping malls in Sungai Petani, hehe.

Before heading back home on Sunday, we stopped by Penang Island to meet up with Zufri's brother. Zufs was feeling rather sick with the flu, and you knowlah when adult males are sick they get very quiet and distant. Or maybe its just Zufs. Whatever. He suggested a ferry ride back to the Mainland, and even though a ferry ride is like nothinglah actually, I enthusiastically agreed that it was a hot idea.

Before that it was even more. He took us to Penang Hill. On a Sunday. During the school holidays. Ramai gila orang! People were queueing (btoi ka? Macam banyak sangat ue..) up at 2:30 for a train ride up the hill at 4:00 pm. Tak pa lah naa.

All in all, was a relaxing trip-balik-kampung-Zufri. Minus the tiring journey back home.

It suddenly struck me that I'm getting married in less than 3 months! Damn. Spooky shit.
