a pinch of salt

How to do it?

p/s: Udang & sotong x sepatutnya dimasak lama sebab nanti isinya jadi x lembut untuk dimakan. (bak kata opah saya lah.)

Now it is all served!!! Have a good try folks! ^o^"

~ Congratulations People!

hey everyone! It seems that it has been quite a time since i have updated my blog. Well then, 1 week and a half  I was stuck in IIUM as the committee of the Interschool Debating Championship IIUM 2010. It was quite fun being an usherette and time-keeper for the participants from MRSM Balik Pulau for english category. They were Seetha, Masni, Lydia, Jonathan & Cikgu Nani. One week with them, I can tell about how they are thinking & attitude. They were very sporting include their teacher Cikgu Nani! Jonathan was rather nerdy for a form 1 student, Seetha was quite matured in her thinking, Masni is very enthusiastic whenever she gets the chance to POI the opponent and Lydia love to ask a lot of questions. As an usher, I was suppose to usher them wherever they want to go, but then, after a few days, they began to seek advice from me & I began to give moral supports as well as comments and critiques after every match/debate to improve their qualities. (Macamlaa terror sngt je! ahaha... )

You know laa.... being an observer is better and we can see so much mistakes and advantages in a person. So, that was totally me when I started to feel bored waiting for the time to end for every speeches of every speakers. Just imagine! 7 minutes is the limit for every speaker to explain their points, but then, I felt that the time was sOooooooOoo slOw that I could have a great nap in front of the judges. But gosh! I was so thankful I didn't dozed off to sleep.... It was so embarrassing ok when I heard that there were some ushers who did such thing. hehehe.... Well, if only you understand what they are talking about, you might have put full  attention to what they are debating about. Maybe there are some parts that I understand, but mostly, I couldn't catch up with what they are talking about because they talk sOoo FAASTT!!! Some debaters can talk with only one breath!!! whoAa..! But I salute them for their fluency and knowledge. Bijak... Bijakk! hehe..

Anyway, congratulation guys for your effort to go through all the rounds even though you guys didn't make it to the double octo. Not everyone have the spirit as a debater have. So be with it! To Seetha, congratulations to you for receiving the 7th best speaker overall for English category. At least you improved a lot from last year as what Cikgu Nani said laa. hehe...

For my school (SM Islam Hidayah JB) for arabic team, Congratulations people especially Anas Hairozi for receiving the best speaker for the finals and overall 2nd best speaker. Sulaiman also for overall 3rd best speaker, Izzati for your cool face expressions at the finals and 'Asim for being a good time-keeper for them. hehehe.... Hey, it's not easy to achieve what they achieve now because they have to master arab language in order to rebut whatever the opponent says. I'm proud to be their senior. To ustazah Zuraidah & ustaz hassan, your efforts all this while are appreciated and this moment of joy insyaALLAH is the results for all your efforts. Thank You Ustaz wa Ustazah. May ALLAH repays each of your tears & sweat with jannah. Ameen~ Every time I learn arabic in IIUM, It reminds me to ustazah very much of her way of teaching & her voice when she starts to nag at us to learn arabic. Ahhhh~ Memories....... Oh yes, before I forget, to their usherette ZulaiQa Habsyi, hahaha... Congrats for completing your job so well and also congrats for accomplishing your dream to sit at the arena of stage in the finals. hehehe.... Tahniah laa ye semua! 

my juniOrs-->'Asim-Izzati-Sulaiman-Anas-

We are the champions! Takbir!! ALLAHU AKBAR!!

[too bad that I didn't took a pic of MRSM Balik Pulau students. Its all because of the lOw quality hp cam. huhu]

~Memories~

Bak kata laiqa, memory memoru~ hehe...

Sahabat? Teman? Rakan? Kawan? Yuk, kita bercerita disini~

Tatkala berbicara mengenai memori, aku sering terkenang akan sahabat2ku terutamanya yang telah berjuang bersama-sama denganku sejak dari aku mula-mula masuk darjah 2 hinggalah ke tingkatan 5. Merekalah antara yang banyak memberi aku semangat & dorongan x kira dimana sahaja aku berada. Bilamana aku down & kadang2 pernah juga aku tersasar seketika, merekalah yang tidak jemu menasihat & memberi semangat agar aku terus melalui jalan dakwah ini dengan gigih walaupun banyak onak & cabarannya harus ditempuh~

Hari ini, entah kenapa hatiku tiba-tiba tergerak nak membelek album & video Ekspedisi Nadi Hidayah ke Puncak Kinabalu. Ya ALLAH! Tidak dapat aku gambarkan betapa rindunya aku kepada sahabat-sahabatku ini. Termasuk juga guru-guruku yang menjadi pengiring waktu itu. Seolah2 xpdc itu menjadi tahun terakhir buat kita semua di SMIH. Sayang, kini semuanya sudah tidak lagi menjadi tenaga pengajar di sekolah... Setelah kami meninggalkan SMIH, satu persatu guru2 pengiring kami meninggalkan sekolah itu. Ust. shahrudin ikut jejak kami dgn mengikuti kursus KPLI, kemudian ust. Hamidah & ust. Halimah juga pergi meninggalkan mereka disekolah. Setahun selepas itu, ust.rahim pula menyusul mencari rezeki ditempat baru. Aku juga rindukan suara takbir yang bergema tatkala dilaungkan disetiap kali kita mencapai kejayaan tidak kira sama ada ikhwah mahupun akhawat yang melaungkannya.

Kebanyakan masa di waktu aku sedang stress, aku seringkali teringatkan wajah-wajah sahabat-sahabat seperjuanganku itu.. Merekalah yang menjadi penawar dikala stress ku menyerang. Syahdu rasanya hati bila terkenangkan mereka. Menitis air mataku menahan kerinduan. Pada seorang sahabat inilah aku sering mengadu & berkongsi rasa. Terima kasih Zulaiqa! Bagiku, merekalah sahabat yang tiada galang gantinya. Antara banyak-banyak sahabat, merekalah yang no.1 aku ingat, sayang & kasih setulus hati.. Sungguh, lafaz yang tersimpan ini tidak dapat ku tuturkan dengan kata-kata biasa. Merekalah sahabat yang aku ikat sepenuhnya dengan hati.

Kenangan itulah yang menggamit hatiku untuk kembali semula ke sekolah. Aku tidak malu untuk kembali ke sekolah yang telah menjadi saksi perjuangan kami sejak kami berumur 7 tahun hinggalah umur mencapai 17 tahun. Aku sangat bersyukur kerna ibu bapaku menghantarku ke sekolah ini kerna disinilah bermulanya sebuah persahabatan, persengketaan & perjuangan kami semua demi mencapai sebuah kejayaan yang bukan hanya kejayaan akademik semata-mata, bahkan juga sebagai permulaan titik tolak kami sebagai seorang dai'e. SEKOLAH RENDAH & MENENGAH ISLAM HIDAYAH, JB menggamit 1001 kenangan yang sukar untuk aku lupakan...

Sahabat2, korang tahu x yang ana SANGAT & TERAMAT RINDUKAN antum semua!! Sampai sekarang, susah ana nak cari sahabat macam antum semua yang selalu memahami & sabar dengan kerenah ana. Kalau ana ada masalah dengan kawan2 lain, ana sayu sangat bila teringat antum semua. Memang susah nak menahan air mata tu dari bergenang sebab koranglah sahabat2 yang AMAT ana SAYANGI. Memang tiada yang dapat gantikan korang tau! Ana rindu nak gaduh, sakat & cari pasal dengan korang semua. Kadang2 tu rasa macam nak balik ke alam persekolahan balik. Rasa macam x nak masuk ipt, tapi nak wat macam mane kan? Life have to go on no matter what happens. Bersyukur rasanya bila batch kita x ramai ahlinya terutama sekali yang akhawat. Disebabkan itulah kita rapat dan x de berlakunya assobiah dalam batch kita kan? rinduuuunyeee.... x sabar nak tunggu gathering nanti. Kalau ditakdirkan umur kita panjang, kite jumpe kat sana ya? Doakan ana dapat datang tau! ^_^"

kami!

indah bukan ciptaan ALLAH?

Kami dipuncak jaya! TAKBIR!!

guru2 ku yang di sekolah kelihatan tegas, tp umpama kanak2 ketika disini.. hehe

(us. shah, us. rahim, ust. halimah & ust. hamidah tidak akan kami lupa walau kalian

bukan lagi pendidik di SMIH)

perjuangan kita bermula disini~

kenangan yang akan ku kenang selama2nya

walau sijil kami bewarna, tapi kejayaan ini untuk semua~

~sahabat tempatku mengadu & berkongsi cerita~

semangat bukan kami??

~Tinta buat sahabat~

Sahabat2 yang ku kasihi,

andai aku terleka & terlena dengan helah duniawi,

kejutkanlah aku sehingga aku betul2 terjaga,

Sedarkanlah aku bahawa aku berada di alam yang nyata,

Jangan biarkan aku lena terus dibuai mimpi yang hanya sementara,

Jangan tinggalkan aku sendirian didunia yang entah apa adanya.

Sahabat2 yang ku sayangi,

Ingatlah bahawa aku juga manusia biasa yang bisa hanyut bila2 masa,

Tariklah aku sekuat2nya andainya aku jauh dari kalian juga dakwah ini,

Pautlah aku sekuat2nya supaya aku tidak lari lagi,

Ikatlah aku bersama2 ukhwah & dakwah itu...

Sahabat2 yang ku sayangi,

Mungkin aku kelihatan seperti orang yang kuat semangat,

Macam waktu sekolah2 dulu,

Namun hati manusia tiada siapa dapat jangka kan?

Aku juga lemah!

Aku juga mudah beralih arah!

Memang untuk tetapkan hati itu tidak mudah,

Tapi, USAHAlah!

Aku juga akan berusaha untuk diriku,

Tapi kau juga tolonglah aku untuk tetap berada dijalan ini,

Kita sama2 berusaha ya?

Terima Kasih sahabat!

Kerna itu, kasihnya aku pada kalian bertambah..

Kerna itu, sayangnya aku pada kalian mekar...

Kerna itu ukhwah kita tidak pernah pudar

Malah semakin hari semakin bercambah...

Semoga ALLAH merahmati serta memberkatimu sahabat..

Ukhwah fillah abadan abada~

Dinner for tOday!

Alhamdulillah.... After so long I was craving to eat a home cooked meal and at last tonight was the day! Hehe.... I just couldn’t bear to eat outside food anymore. With not much choice and too much of ajinomoto, I rather eat at a home cooked meal. I only wish if the hostel have a kitchen. At least a place to cook no matter if it is a small kitchen. I just can’t stand to eat outside laa... I love to cook but not much recipe that I know. All this while, the only menu that I usually cook is lamb & chicken curry, black pepper chicken, chicken & beef with ketchup, fried chicken & fish, sweet sour fish (most of the time x jadi pun), ayam & lamb masak merah. Not much kan? If veggies, basically I can cook anything laa depends on what veggies we have. Normally I prefer to eat ulam & coleslaw as it is easier to prepare and healthier to be eaten. Yet, I’m grateful that I know how to cook even though only a few dishes.

Well, it seems that I have to learn more. And lately, I’ve been looking for the recipe of paprik. Paprik is always my choice when I have to order food. But in a variety type of lauk laa.. Sometimes chicken or beef or prawn. I love prawn paprik!! Hehehe.... ok laa. Actually, I wanted to share the dishes that I cooked for today. The menu was lamb masak merah, fried tempe, mix veggies fried with mushrooms and long beans & broccoli. Everything was finished eaten by abah, mama, angah, kakcik, adik & me even though the lamb was quite salty. Hehehe.... Sorry lerr. It has been almost 2-3 month I have not cooked at home I think. It seems that after this I need to polish my cooking skills. This recipe was taken from makcik2 who taught us cooking in R2J2 programme. Actually it was for ayam masak merah for nasi tomato, but I applied it to this lamb. Sori kambing ye? hehe... well, I'm glad that I can remember the recipe. ^_^"

First Menu; Lamb masak merah

Ingredients:

A:

-Of course lamb (any parts u like)

B:

-Garlic (half of the whole garlic)

-2 Red onions

-A thumb size of ginger

-1 stalk of lemon grass

C:

-A handful of dried chilies

how to do it???

1) Firstly, boil the dried chili in boiled water. Then, after the chili looks a bit fluffy, filter the chilies in a filter.

2) Next, chop all ingredient B into dices and blend it all together with the dried chilies.

3) Then, 'tumis' the blended ingredients, put some salt & sugar secukup rasa and after a while put in the lamb.

4) Be patient. It might take one half hour to 2 hours to cook.

5) And there u go... the dish is ready!

Have a good try! hehe.... (x delaa pandai sangat pun tp saje je nak share.)

the veggies is being fried in the wOk~

ready to be serve!!

Ok, that is all from me! Have a nice try.....

~ الحمدلله وشكرالله ~

Alhamdulillah wa syukurillahh.......

Give thanks to ALLAH because for His kindness, I still have the chance to sit for the exams and finish my first semester for first year.... And now, I'm here at home sitting in front of my laptop updating my blOg since it is quite 'dusty'.. oh well.....

hmm.... updating about myself, I was actually quite busy lately because I had to finish up all the assignments given before the examination date. Well iman, it's your own fault to do the assignments last minutes! So, handle it!!! huhuhu.... so baaddddd!! I regret for leaving everything till the very last minute! Gosh, I just could not face it again next sem.. Enough once!

.: 6 April 2010 :.

Now, finally all the work, assignments & exams are finished! Yeay! But wait, I cannot be happy yet as for the results is not keyed in yet..... huwaaaa.... I fear for the worst~ I was not confident in doing the exams.... huhu... May ALLAH soften the examiners heart to give me better marks...

Straight after exam Science of Qur'an, abah fetch me at IIUM. He came with his friends as they was having programme at bangi. So, since abah wants to go back to JB that day, I took this opportunity to go back home as well. hehehe.... JIMAT!! Save budget tuhhh!

.: 7 April 2010 :.

Woke up and dunno what to do....

Then, fetch the novel entitled Seribu Kali Cinta written by Anis Ayuni and started to read it. After so long I haven't read novels...... I bought this novel in KLIBF (International Book Fair) with few other books. It was a typical malay story but then I just love to read novels... hehe

.: 8 April 2010 :.

After breakfast with mama, abah, yeop & kakcik, I went to the JPN (Jbtn Pndftrn Ngra) to renew my IC... hoho... that was the only chance I had after so long I wanted to renew my IC. Maybe 2-3 years of waiting?? The first time I wanted to renew it because of new address, they can't identify my identity because at that time my fingers was suffering from eczema that is why the system couldn't identify my fingerprints.. It was quite bad that time till me myself could not see the fingerprints.

Consequently after that, me & mom went to Tabung Haji to update our bank books. Did some shopping a little bit and came back home. Today's book is entitled Ilham Hati by Damya Hanna. For me, I like both Damya Hanna & Anis Ayuni's novels.. hehehe... best jugak laa.. This is the book;

Waaa.....! I want to read this boook sO muchh!! Salju Sakinah.. Was attracted by those who have read this book. Arghhh...... tapi apakan daya, buku nye masih x dapat dipinjam dari rOom mate ku! Xpe2 tunggu naik sem nanti baru pinjam.... hmm.... soon, this Diary of a Wimpy Kid book by Jeff Kinney is my next target to be read today!

hooho..... until we meet in the next post! ^_^"
