moved out…

it was on ramadan month… my family and i officially moved out from sect 6 to sect u11 bb. we found a nice home sweet home for us..

all things happen in life for a reason...

it has been a very disturbing week for me and my family and for the past few day till now, i'm in a state of distress. it's ironic to know how ppl perceive our life and make their own judgement when they do not know the slightest thing of what's going in our life. how influential they are in bad-mouthing about our life to others. how dishonest ppl can be after what we have shared together. how they look down on us when they are at their top. well, i guess that's what life is all about.

yes, all things happen with a reason. i accept with my open heart. i learned that in every circumstances, it makes me even stronger to shape my life for better. at this point of life, i'm truly happy and bless having my love ones beside me. life must go on and that's what i'm doing. i'm moving out and forward...

dining out...

i lost track on what's cooking and here's few dishes i managed to snap last week. rest of the days, we went few places for buka puasa.

mixed vege, ayam kurma & omelette

we tried out secret recipe, from their usual ala carte menu, with their buka puasa special treat of free ice cream plus complimentary drinks and dates. so nothing special.

the kids had fish & chips, hubby had chicken cheese (i forgot the name..) & mine was tomyam noodles.

when my brother from kulim came with his family last friday, whole family had a buka puasa buffet at Rasa Thai & Satay Yanti’s Restaurant, Subang Parade, at rm30 for adult and rm15 for a child. their spread of dishes was not bad at all. of course, i also let the kids choose their own buka puasa selection and as expected McD is their choice.

for the past few days, me and my family have been dining out for buka puasa. some issues came up at home and i'm sad... totally...

simpliest menu...

as permissible, i left office at 4pm on-the-dot yesterday (lemah gitu nak keje), pick up kids at daycare centre and went to buy kuih-muih at bazaar ramadan sect 6. i let the kids choose what they want but end up tak habis pun. bazir gitu. btw every tuesday and friday, there's a pasar malam at sect 6 market but malas nak rebut2.

after buka, i asked dear hubby what to cook the next day. after much deliberation, we decided the simpliest menu ever. before he left for work, he told me he wont be back till 10pm. so i cooked one dish first and took a rest. at 615pm, i decided to cook another dish and while cooking, hubby smsed " i dah nak naik (komuter). kalau sempat, tlg amik i skrg". acooo.... dear hubby ni mmg suka sgt buat surprise. kelam kabut dibuatnyer. lepas amik dia, singgah lagi bazaar, beli kuih2 dia pulak....

here's my 2nd day dishes...

the simpliest dish sardin...

and hati masak kicap... lbh krg camni la..

this one i didnt get a chance to snap bcoz of that surprise by dear hubby tu kannn... by the time we arrived home, it's time to break fast. so tak ingat apa dah. makan jer..

during the sahur, another deliberation. yes, nak masak pun kena discuss so that everyone mencapai kata sepakat untuk makan... :D

1st day of ramadan....

on 1st day of september. it's a holiday so our 1st day ramadan was quite relaxing from morning till noon. of course, adam and adli puasa too and they just watched tv but not the whole day la. they had to wash their school shoes and do their tuiton homework. btw, for ramadan month, their normal tuition session postponed from monday to saturday at 1pm - 3pm. usual tuition session is on monday from 7pm - 9pm. time2 ni la org nak berbuka, takan nak tuition kot.

dear hubby had to work so by noon, i sent him to commuter station. we missed him for buka puasa as he finished at 10pm. after sending him, i went to sect 9 to do some work in my car for couple of hours. why sect 9 and why in the car?? well...

1st, i dont have internet connection at home simply bcoz my 10-year old desktop is so unstable. kejap2 hang.. so tak payah la nak berinternet kat rumah.

2ndly, since my office provided me a laptop, i have to bring it home during the weekend (if i rajin) and a must especially when i go for holiday or there's a public holiday bcoz our clients are in SEA region and they dont share same holiday and their requirements need to be provided ASAP.

3rdly, sect 9 starbuck provided free wireless network. since it's puasa kan.. takan la i nak gi masuk starbuck kot. i just find a nice parking spot opposite the starbuck, switch on my laptop, search for wireless network and wallaaaa... i'm connected. sambil2 tu, check la my emails... blog hopping sikit..

i started cooking around 3pm. kononnyer cepat masak, cepat la berehat kan.. but in the mid of cooking, my boss calling2 la pulak from BKK. katanyer urgent matters from our client in BKK need to be settled. dah la time tu hujan lebat, takan la i nak kluar. so i quickly finish my cooking first then borrowed my brother's broadband, which turned out to be sooooo useless... cannot be connected tapi kat desktop dia boleh pulak. pelik.. and terkejar la pulak pegi sect 9 tu.. again buat keje dlm kereta for abt 1 hr.

so for 1st day buka puasa, i managed to cook...

chicken ball soup... (for the kids...)

and pari asam pedas...

plus some ulam and sambal tempoyak (no pic ye) alhamdulillah....

time buka tu, i forced my kids to eat kurma ye. at first tak nak but surprisingly they managed to eat/swallow it. for dessert, ice cream with banana split.. yummy...

selamat berbuka....
