29th

Tinggal lagi sehari utk semua umat Islam kat Malaysia ni berpuasa. Esok last day, and hari ni insyaAllah Ifah dapat puasa 8 hari. Semalam dia puasa sekerat hari saja. Penat agaknya n demotivated coz sepupu dia kt Meru yg sebaya semua tk posa. So today I bring her to the office so, kurang sket godaannya.

About persiapan raya, dalam dok nak tak nak berbelanja tu a few hundreds dah melayang utk buat makanan saja. Pergh...tak tahan betul aku ni...anyway...as of today no more shopping. So gambar mlm raya akan dimasukkan ke entry seterusnya.

For food, pls refer to my foodie blog at http://hanasoffiyya.blogspot.com/ Currently, blum ader n3 lagik...bizis ler.

Hari ke- 23 puasa

Hey diam tak diam dah 23 hari dah puasa. Tahun ni mmg cepat sungguh masa berlalu. Ifah puasa lagi hari ni so in total yang puasa full ada 4 hari including today. So my target is 7 days for her tapi tak cakap kat dia awal2 lah pasai nanti dah cukup 7 hari terus tak nak puasa pulak kan. Anyway so far my 1st dotter ni boleh dikatakan good girl la jugak. Senang dengar cakap and if she wants something and if mommy says no c/w explaination then she will listen. Alhamdulillah hopefully it will continue forever.

Tahun ni giliran beraya kat rumah mertua. Raya ke- 3 baru target nak balik Aloq Setaq. Hmmm maybe cuti tahun ni nak bawak my kids p ke sekolah lama aku- Sultanah Asma School. Rindu sangat tak tau pasai apa, especially the hostel life, so sweet. Macam baru je lepas habih sekolah. I want to bring them if possible to every part of the school and hostel, tapi waktu siang la coz kalau malam hmmmmm serrreeeeeemmm u!! Nak lalu depan porch pun dah macam serremmm apatah lagi kalau nak p jengah kat lab ke, hall ke fuuhhhh takkan punyalah.

My persiapan raya for this year really sederhana. I dont buy myself baju raya, yang ada ni pun kain yang my SIL and my auntie sedekahkan. Planned utk buat pakai p ofis, suddenly dah masuk puasa dah, so jadi la baju raya. Nothing glamorous and nothing lip- lap2. Ada lagi 2 pasang kain yg my brother and my mom beli pun blum berjahit, so cukup la tu, pakaila apa saja seadanya. for the kids 1 pasang sorang baju kurung, yang blum siap lagi htr pegi alter,then 2 helai t- shirts setiap sorang, both got 1 each power puff girls pink t- shirt, and kakak 1 jeans plus 1 greenish t-shirt which very rare to her wardrobe, and I also bought for them hair accessories almaklumla masing2 sibuk nak ikat rambut & it won't last long at their hair. Saja nak memeriahkan pagi raya tu jer..No gown/ dress, macam kejam je mommy ni kan, .My husband pun baru ada sehelai shirt, so memang kenalah dgn niat aku thn ni takmo membazir di bln ramadhan n Syawal. Bukan apa, actually I want to educate my children coz Syawal bukanlah masa untuk bermewah2, kena bersederhana saja. But I did spent much on baking last few weeks since my semangat so berkobar2 nak buat kuih n kek sendiri.

I really hope my dua' to have a pious kids termakbul. and I also hope that we can become modern practising Muslim bak kata my dotter's principal "Biar fikiran macam London tapi hati Masjidil Haram"- understood?

Okeh..got to sign off now, nak solat pastu nak balik.

cerita ceriti minggu ke- 3 ramadhan

diam tak diam dah nak masuk 3 minggu kita puase..hmmm x terasa langsung & this yr probably paling kurang ibadat....but just recite Quran je...tu pun x tau sempat ke tak nak khatam..lagi 22juzuk warggggghhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!banyak tuuu..

mlm tadi lepas buka posa n solat maghrib terus ku tuju ke Bukit Raja shopping Ctr, nak collect spec baru- saturday last week p buat...ini tak tau kali ke bape dah ni...last 2 specs semua budak2 kecik yg hancurkan....tak sampai 6 bln pakai..erkhhhh tensen I. Here's my new spec. Hope it will last longer than b4.

BTW, last weekend my activity was BAKING. 2 harian tu membaking je kejanya & on Saturday actually Ifah tried to fast for full day, she managed to do it until petang and even requested from mommy to bake for her a pizza, thats my fault too as I had promised her to send some pizzas to her kindy b4 puasa but due to my laziness got to pay her la..but I made her not one but 2 pizzas. I did the dough on my own with sausages and mushrooms coz thats the only things I have in my fridge (mula dough tu nak bubuh dlm breadmaker je suddenly tk buleh jalan la pulak, maybe coz I'm using the oven so dia x sempat sejuk then resulted my BM x functioned) Kena la menguli beb!!! then duduk menopping pizza, suddenly she came with a smell of Yakult...I asked her whether she still fasting or not..she said she is but I can smell Yakult from her tiny- winy mouth.."Oh dear just tell mommy you drink or not???" Innocently she said she just sipped the Yakult just a little bit coz she's too thirsty and now she puasa again.....Hmmm....so innocent as she unable to understand what puasa is all about- ye le budak baru umo 5 thn daa....anyway the spirit is there already..just need to polish, teach & play along with it. Here's my pizza.

Yang enterfem skali tu ketupat palas, jgn mare..mcm hari raya la pulak, imported directly from Aloq Staq hasil nukilan Mak ku yang mmg superb dalam bab ketupat mengupat ni...Awat la ayaq tangan tu x menitik kt aku ni hah...tp sebahagian dr ketupat yg menjadi tu aku pun turut serta membalutnya..ala2 budak baru blajaq la ni...yg tak lawa tu for sure i punye...
Nak resipi???? tunggu tayangan selanjutnya..maleh la plak nk menaip hari nih...
Ifah sekarang tgh kemaruk nak berambut panjang pulak, so every morning b4 p sekolah nak ikat rambut, and si Sophie pun may be I rase tingin jugak nak ikat rambut so mommy dia pun menggatalkan tangan buat tocang dua..May be she thought she looks more cuter with that tocang so lepas je ikat rambut dia, Si Sophie ni mula la mengangkat2 kening dia.
2 beradik ni tgh posing sedondon menerai baju raya baru dpt upah kt tailor kt seremban..my fren's nyer mother..cepat & cun jahitannya. But unluckily, the leher n pinggang a bit tight for them tp still boleh pakai...tgk la tu tersengih jek...

Make to order

Pagi tadi pas sahur aku gagahkan diri utk buat adunan cookies yang di order sempena raya ni.

Badan ni agak sakit jugak ni coz rasa mcm nak demam. Tapi memikirkan next week dah masuk minggu ke- 3 puasa and takut nanti terkocoh2 nak menyiapkan order, terpaksa jugak merajinkan diri. Lagipun nak try my new gadget- Electronic Scale (murah version). nak test tahap kebagusannya coz my aim akceli yang rege hundred plus....tapi yang ni punya tak sampai RM30.

Nyatalah rege juge mencerminkan quality product, so this scale ala2 buleh pakai je lah..not up to satisfaction. Baru timbang 3 kali dah jem, tokleh nak detect berat..terpaksa pakai manualnyer balik. WARGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Inile ghopenya konon akan jadi gadget kesayanganku tapi x best langsung!!!HAMPEH.....

Pagi ni sahur sempoi abis, almaklumla mkn sensorang, aku cuma makan nasik yg ditapau from Mar anak Maarisnyer rumah pasal semlm aku plus my lil princesses tu p buke posa kt rumah dia, aku masak koeteow sup, since dia dah lebey masak nasik, n dia pun sorang je kt rumah, alaaa nasik putih sama 3 ketul ayam goreng je. Alhamdulillah tu lah rezeki aku utk semlm. Kenyang jugak. Habis makan lebih kurang pukul 5pg aku dah start mengadun adunan cookie ku.

ni le hasil adunan aku tu, mixer blade tgh enterfrem (mixer kesayangan aku tuh cap Philips beli kat Giant Shah Alam).

Mentega n gula dah kembang dah..... yang sebelah kanan ni plak adunan yg dah siap bungkus nak simpan dlm fridge, nanti mlm baru bako.

Nak dijadikan cerita tgh hari semlm boring punya pasal, aku terjah Bagus Bakery Supply, beli barang2 buat kuih pergh berhabiss jugakla...Sereeeeemmmmm masa kuar duit tu...kaya cina tu...kayap la aku. So mlm tadi pas balik dr rumah Mar aku trus kemaskan store ku itu n fill up my baking stock container...see below:

Anyway, gtg to pick up my kids. see u in d next n3.

Ifah 1st day puasa

Hari ni berjaya jugak persuade Che Pah Bedah tu puasa...BTW cemana nama che pah bedah ni boleh lekat kat nama si Ifah ni???ni tak lain tk bukan si alang dia punya keja la ni pasai anak aku yg sorang so talkative. Bayangkan dari shah alam- aloq staq (7hrs drive) dia boleh tak berenti cakap..pot pet2. Hopefully she able to make it sampai time buka nanti.

Today I dont have to cook since my office treat everyone with buffet kat Singgahsana Hotel. This is an annual event for us actually, so before we treat the customers, let the boss treats the staff first. Cemana agaknya driving experience ngan si kenit Sophie tu gamaknya, di tengah jem2 tu adakah kesabaranku akan teruji. Papehal pun pekakkan je lah telinga dgn tangisan syahdunya tu.

Ni hah hari ni tetiba lak rasa macam nak demam, sakit belakang n my nose start running fast...Menderu2 air hidung ni...tolong jangan demam dulu..........arggghhh....tak sempat nak telan vitamin masa sahur tadi. Sahur tadi pun I just ate sosej with wholemeal pita bread sambil2 suap che ifah tu makan. Minum semug super power kacip Fatimah and bergelas2 air kosong. That sky juice is a must. Kalau tak pengsan chek.

After habis sahur at around 6.30am si Sophie ni pulak boleh terbangun, and the kakak ternampak kamera trus dia start snap mcm2 gambaq. Antara hasil nukilan dia:

Can't stay long, its 4.30pm now, I need to solat Asr then have to & fetch the kids and straight away go to PJ, else have to fight with traffic jam...

Dilemma Masak

Emph..hari ni dah lapan hari kita posa (bagi sesapa yg x penah tinggal posa la yek)..My other half away to Melaka as usual, left me alone with the kids... Persoalannya apa yg harus aku masak hari ni buat buka posa...Ikut hati ni macam nak tapau je tapi memikirkan my mission this year tak jadi la nak p Pasar Ramadhan, tapi dok pk ni hah si Sophie tu yg asyik dok merengek2 suruh aku dukung dia tatkala aku masak membuatkan aku naik geram pun ada...kalau tak dukung dia nanti berguling2 nangih kat dapoq aku yang luasssssss banget tuh...Fuhhh hilang posa setengah kalau marahkan dia...Tension gue....Bila citer kt hubbyku itu dia kata "besala anak no. 2'..hai..terasa jugak la aku ni..aku pun anak no. 2 gak. So meaning anak no. 2 = to problemo ke? Just imagine ada syndrome yg dinamakan "2nd child syndrome"...ish teruk sangat ka penangan anak no. 2 nih...hmmm.. tapi bila aku kaji sket...perangai anak no. 2 ni lain sket maybe due to several factors...maybe pasal attention masa peknen, or pasal kakak dia keluar dulu so she got to strive hard for mommy's attention for not to divert the attention to the eldest.. Tapi secara logiknya Sophie, you will get better attention coz you still baby lagi. As for Kakak my attention now more on her studies. Aduhhhh...Tertekan jiwa & raga..or maybe coz Sophie gonna turn 2 in 7 more months?????? Bila masuk 2 thn dah ada syndrome "Trouble 2" pulak..ye la..symptoms nya dah nampak jelas...but it seems too early for that my dear.

Anyway..ini bukan citer pasal Sophie tau...ini citer pasal mommy nak masak apa ptg nih...Apa2 pun tgk je la entry esok...kekekekek
