it's new sem !~




New sem has come! No more recipes to be post here. hehehe.... If only I can have my own house here. Wahh! It's so cool! I can cook everyday, and I wouldn't have to buy the same thing in the cafe everyday! haha.. it's just so boring when you have eaten all types of menu in the cafe & later on you don't have a choice but have to choose the same menu as your lunch & dinner for the next few years. hohoho... But then, life has to go on right? 
ok, back to the topic. 

In this semester, I'll be a first year second sem student. A step further to excellence. ^__^". It's kinda tough this sem as I'm taking 9 subjects with only 17 credit hours! huhu... The subjects are Drama, Phonetics & Phonology, Intro to Political Sciences, Revelation of Prophetic History, Sciences of Hadith, Arabic level 3, Bahasa Melayu Lanjutan, Tilawah & Study Circle. It became 17 credit hours because BM have only 1 credit hours while arabic & study circle both 0.5 credit hours & tilawah NO credit hours. My classes are packed from 8.30 to 5.00pm every Monday & Wednesday while on Tuesdays & Thursdays my classes are from 8.30 to 3.30pm. huhuhuhu... Cannot go home like usual. Mujahadah IMAN okeh?!

So, since this new sem I'll be having a packed day, I'll have to start on my assignments straight away after I receive it from the lecturer. No more postponed assignments okeh IMAN? This time please submit it before the date of submission. Not ON the date of submission unless the lecturer says so. 

Alright! that's all from me today~ 
Hope to improve myself as well as my pointer to a better grade. 
ChaiyOk IMAN! 
Remember everyone who loves you and wants you to excel in your studies!!

Mus'ab! My little nephew~




As Mus'ab entered my parents house in TSPP, he shouted "aatteeeehhh!!", hahaha... it was soo touching & cute lor. He never called me [his Mak Teh] properly before. He normally call out for both of his uncle which is Ayah Yang my 3rd brother, which he usually shout like this> "Yaayaaaaang!" and Pak Ngah my 2nd brother. Instead of calling him Pak Ngah, Mus'ab will say "Angaaah!" or "Ayah Ngaaah!". hehe.. Toddlers, at this age they'll start to pronounce things better with a better pronunciation. Well, before they know how to pronounce things, they usually babble all the time where most of the time, we couldn't understand what they are talking about! hahaha... babies are just so cute~

After he called out for me to come down, he shouted for opah and search opah all the way upstairs. He also dragged every one to follow him to search for opah and he shouted again.... "Paaaaaah....! Opaaaaaaah!". Hehehe.... So adorable laa mus'ab nih. When my father came back home, he went to the door and stand beside the grill and shouted, "atooooooooooookkkk!". Another new word for him as he rarely shout for atok. hehehe... 

Mus'ab is such a hyperactive kid! It's just so hard to make him to go to bath. Asyik nak main je keje die sampai orang lain yg flatten out! hahaha... si kecik2. To ask him to be quiet is just simple & easy. Put the laptop in front of him and open the Upin & Ipin or any animated songs and he will DEFINITELY be quiet in a blink of an eye. Like my father use to say something like this, "Abah x suke baby yg senyap je, x cerdik! Budak2 aktif macam mus'ab ni yang bagus... Barulaa cerdik macam atok die!" hehehe....

Oklaaa Mus'ab sayang..~ That's all for today's entry. Hehe... A special entry for my little nephew Mus'ab bin 'Umayr Sayfurrahman the apple of our families eye! hehehe..... ^_^"

Wednesday's dinner!~


Hey! Assalamu'alaikum people! On Wednesday night I prepared 3 dishes for dinner which was Paprik Campur, Butter Prawn and Potato Salad. So today, I would like to share with you guys those 3 recipe. Well, for the Paprik Campur, actually it was my first time cooking it. hehe.. I just wanted to try a variety of cookings so that I don't feel bored eating the same thing everyday and I managed to cook it perfectly! hehe... Therefore I googled the recipe in the internet and found it in this website http://resepi.mesra.net/Detailed/20341.shtml. But for the quantity, I did not follow the quantity as stated in the recipe given because I have a big family who eats a lot! I just guess the quantity so it'll be enough for our family dinner. Actually, I didn't follow the recipe totally. So I just made it myself based on the ingredients I refer. Ok, let's proceed with the recipe! 

Paprik Campur




Ingredients;
  • 5-6 parts of chicken breast [dice it]
  • 7 pieces of squids [wash it with lime to wash out the smell]


vegetables-
  • some cauliflowers
  • some carrots 
  • some baby corns 
  • 2 tomatoes [sliced into 4]
  • 2 red chillies  
  • 1 big red onion
  • 1 stalk of lemon grass [crush it]
  • A thumb size of ginger [slice]
  • Some garlic [crushed & chopped]
  • Some Daun Limau Purut

sauce-
  • 1 table spoon of oyster sauce
  • 4 spoonful of chili sauce
  • 4 spoonful of tomato sauce
  • 2 spoonful of soy sauce
  • some salt [secukup rasa laa]

How to do it?
ok, let's begin!

  1. First and foremost, after you prepare all the ingredients, put some cooking oil in the wok to sauté the onion, ginger, chillies & garlic.
  2. Then put in the chicken breast and all the sauces in as well as the salt, lemon grass & the leaves so that the taste will diffuse in the chicken. Cook it till it is tender. 
  3. Next, put in the squids and veggies.
  4. If you feel like the sauce is not enough, then add some water and some corn flour to thicken the sauce. 
  5. Now it's ready to eat people!


Butter Prawn



This one is pretty easy as the basic ingredients are butter, prawn, a little bit of salt, red chillies, onions & garlic. Firstly, sauté the onions, garlic & chilli together then put in the 
prawns and cook it around 5 minutes.
And your dish is ready! Easy & simple right?? hehe....
Oh yes! Before you cook the prawns, make sure you wash it in water with salt & lime.

Potato Salad


Ok, potato salad is mainly based on potatoes. What you all need is;

Ingredients;
  • Potatoes
  • Red onions
  • Carrots
  • Tomatoes
  • Green Salad
  • Cucumber
  • Broccoli
  • Mayonnaise 


Let's Start!
  1. Boil the potatoes until it is cooked & tender.
  2. Chop all those veggies and put it all together inside a casserole [bekas sayur laa].   
  3. After the potatoes are cooked, drain the water and cool down the potatoes for a while.
  4. Then cut the potatoes into dices or wedges. [up to you which one you like better]
  5. Add some mayonnaise and stir well. But don't stir it roughly cause the veggies might be spoiled. 
  6. Prepare a dish for the veggies and sort the salad nicely on the plate. 
  7. Now you can put in the veggies on top of the salad! hehe....
