Minah petai or minah kari ???

THIS IS SCHEDULED POST.....
Psst...cerita pasal petai tak habis tau. Actually, aku dah masak sikit tumis petai versi malas + telur dadar for dinner last two Monday....Tengok tuh very the oily....

For lunch I had spicy spiral, which was the leftover from last two saturday that I cooked to bring for our trip on sunday.

Since the lunch was provided, so I had the spiral for dinner on sunday and of course for lunch on monday. Jangan tak tau, I packed that tumis petai for my lunch in uni last tuesday.

Hehehe...sib baik masa makan tu, housemate dah balik rumah dia. Haritu kalut gak coz kena submit fund to Adelaide form before 5pm. Barulah terhegeh2 nak cari download borang tuh. Kena buat budget for registration fee, accommodation and travel expense. So, I have to search for the affordable accommodation for students..either backpack, motel, inn or apartment that I can share with my two friends. Then baru notice borang untuk mohon pembiayaan to Adelaide need my spv's signature. Normally, she does not come to uni on tuesday. So, tawakal je la...print that form and slipped under her door. Back to my wing, pelik pulak students thai bising2...bila jenguk tengok my spv dok bersembang dengan depa. Lega...maka settlelah urusan pasal borang tuh.

In fact, I had unplanned discussion with her about our third paper about supporting our result with previous literature, certain aspect that should be omitted to avoid confusion and about my doubt about the calculation that should be included. She also asked me write the constant nicely, bukannya sekejap guna big figures sekejap guna exponent hehehe. So, sebelum balik, submitlah pembetulan paper tu. Then I had sambal sardin for dinner that nite and lunch on wednesday.

At 3pm, I had a discussion with my spv about my new project. Tapi dia sempat cakap aku tak buat pembetulan...hehehe aku submitted wrong file lah tu. Pulak tu kena labelkan pulak certain figure and kena minta permission the author/journal to reproduce their images...adus!!! Then, I suggested two projects to her. She prefer me to do the second project since the first one is only small project and quite similar to the third paper. However, she said that I can do that in my leisure time. Bila balik opis, I checked that the figure is not in the cited literature. Rasa macam stress pulak. Tetiba teringin nak makan kari, maka I pi la beli lamb rogan josh and vegies curry di city. Siap beli vegies pakora and potato samosa kot hehee.....

Malam tu pulun dok cari literature yang ada images tu, tapi tak jumpa pulak. Actually aku lukis sendiri tapi ubahsuai sikitlah dari gambar asal. So, ada dua tiga images yang rupa lebihkurang the first image. Tapi still couldn't be settle since the second which was still tidak diketahui asalnya. I should learn a lesson from this, make sure to record whatever image/figure that I got or modify from. Then, bega2 pulak label for graph. Sound easy huh...Tapi guna adobe photoshop tak boleh, harituh boleh pulak...siape tak bengang? Bila try guna illustrator, boleh pulak....hish, banyak buang masa aku je. Membebel pulak....I should be thankful, Alhamdulillah :)

On thursday, buat kerja dirumah. I submitted the latest version of my paper at 10am. Luckily, before that I managed to find the source for the second image. Dah senang hati, makanlah lamb rogan josh and vegies curry + nasi for lunch and with instant nan for dinner. Tetiba dapat email dari my spv...opps!!!! camna tak hantar lagi proposal walaupun dah present ya. So, malam tuh pulun check my proposal semula and kena modify. Yang sakit hati ada dua paper macam ok je bila in one file. Tapi bila copy paste masuk dalam proposal file ada banyak error. Pulak tu format reference pun tak sama, so kena buat retype. Dahlah latex buat hal..kena save file banyak kali. Kalau tak sabar, memang dah sumpah seranah lah, takpun hantuk kapla...sabar, istighfar walaupun I couldn't deny that ada gak satu dua words terlepas. Dah stay up pun tak siap2 jugak. Janganlah risau sangat mek ooi...ramai yang tak present proposal lagi kan, at least you have presented yours.

Whatever it is, kena gak pi uni on friday atas sebab yang telah dinyatakan di siaran entri yang lepas...;). Dah pi lambat, so aku brunch dengan nasi+ leftover lamb rogan josh+vegies curry sesiap dirumah. Hehehe..minah kari kah aku????

Sebenarnya, kari tu asalnya bukannya meriah macam tu. Tapi disebabkan dah tinggal sikit maka aku pi tambah carrot and perabihkan saki baki seleri. Tapi jimat betul la kari tuh, dah makan 4 kali...ada lagi saki bakinya aku simpan dalam fridge. Hehehe...jimat atau kedekut ??? Tapi pernah dulu aku berjaya habiskan kari tu dua kali hadap je tau. Masa bulan puasa lak tuh.

Hehehe..tulah hidup aku, makan +keja dan keja+makan...:P. Yelah, kalau aku pi meroyan hari2 pi buat entri pasal study sahaja, ada ke korang nak baca hehehe.If you notice, I record whatever I eat everyday coz senang nak detect apa food yang menyebabkan allergy, angin dan sakit perut. Selain tu, mengingati apa yang aku dah buat dan makan adalah salah satu teknik to boost my memory yg pelupa ini. Lagipun senang nak check or recall something. I used to do that with my diary. Tapi, sekarang ni aku type je semua dalam blog ni as my record coz diari klasik with handwriting tu dah lama aku tak jenguk. Nak jot down my expenses pun malas...resit pun dah bersepah-sepah, in fact ada printed price yang dah blur huhuhu....

Makan donut sampai muak tapi tak mual...

THIS is scheduled post :).
Hari jumaat lepas, aku paksakan diri pergi uni walaupun dah tengahari dan hujan lebat. Macam terasa bangga pulak hehehe...Nak siapkan my proposal, lagipun my spv wanted to give me back my paper for correction. Bila sampai uni, I tried to read and understand the previous literature related to my new project. Huhuhu...sedang enak menikmati coklat, tetiba my spv muncul to give me back my third paper. Selalu kantoi tengah makan, bila dia datang. Sekarang dia taulah, aku kat rumah ke, kat opis ke memang aku selalu makan hehehe....whatever. Nak cover malu, aku pun ambil peluang tanya dia pasal equation dalam that literature. Dia terangkan sikit...tapi bila aku kira sendiri tak dapat2 jugak.

Then, my friend came to my office, maka terbantutlah hasrat aku nak buat modify proposal. Serba salah...between wanna finish what I've plan to do and a friend in need to express her feelings. Bila dah dengar luahan dia, menginsafkan aku betapa I should be thankful having my spv. Payah juga ada main spv yg lepas tangan dan co-spv yang firm dan instruct her to do something but she can't ask any question. Habis, kalau tak faham macam mana.. Tak tahu nak buat apa kena marah. Tak buat apa yang disuruh, kena marah. Kalau salah buat sebab tak faham pun mesti kena marah. Kalau dah buat, tapi tak ikut piawaian dia lagilah kena marah. Buat kena marah, tak buat lagilah kena bommm hehehe. One thing that I should try to tell my friend but still holding back is to throw away her ego and since she already know her spvs attitude, just listen to whatever they say and if she disagree with their suggestion or instruction, she should try to tell them concrete reason for not doing so in a polite manner or diplomatic way. If I were to tell her this, I'm afraid that she will be upset and keep a distance from me, then who else she want to turn to ?? I still remember she said that she only comfortable with another friend and me. In fact, this past few weeks she was not that comfortable with the other friend anymore. I pity her and I think she want me to just listen to whatever she says, not give her my opinion or advice etc. I wish I can help her. Ya Allah show me the way, please open and soften both her and her spvs heart. Aku ni sibuk hal orangkan, aku pun ada masalah aku sendiri jugak. Yalah, kita sesama berkongsi masalah...takkan nak pendam seorang diri sampai bernanah ;). Kesian jugak pada my ofismate, harap dia tak bengang dengan kehadiran rakanku. Dulu, aku rimas bila kawan dia datang hari2 dan satu hari sampai 3-4 kali without knocking the door. Sekarang, kawan aku pulak datang, lama pulak tu hehehe...Balasan kat aku lah tu, next time jangan mengata orang tau!!!! Come on!!! Instead of complaining, try to adaptlah...:)...Ok Ok! I'll try ;).

Wei...mana cerita donutnya ? Hish! korang ni tak sabarlah ;))....I went to city to buy fruits that friday...hehehe beli dua biji orange yg besar gedabak je. Tetiba teringin nak makan donut. Tapi takde pulak in small pack. Yang tinggal hanya satu pack besar 12 biji. Maka nak tak nak beli je la. Ha! makan sangatlah donut tuh...nak sangatkan???. Satu hari 2-3 biji. Punyalah tak senonoh, for dinner on friday, dah makan donut 3 biji...tetiba teringin something crunchy. Tak pasal2 aku pi goreng lebihan ayam ala2 kfc tu after 9pm....hish...melayan si anak tekak + layan movie+baca literature +dengar bebelan my housemate pulak pasal her spv...again??? Ni gambar donut, yang dah kecairan gula selepas sarapan on sunday hehehe....

It was raining on Sunday, so memang mood untuk bermalas-malasan...tapi tak bolehlah. After having lunch with sambal petai, memang aku pulun buat correction for the my paper mengadap tenet. Hey! wait a minute. Did you notice sambal petai ? Yes, I cooked sambal petai on Saturday for my late lunch...
Lambat masak coz aku serabut nak fahamkan the literature sampaikan kertas pengiraan bersepah2 atas meja, lantai dan atas katil. Back to sambal petai...of course petai dalam tinlah. Sambal tu supposed boleh 4 kali makan, tup2 hanya utk 2 kali makan. Ni semua gara2, malam tu, memang ratah sambal tu sambil fahamkan literature+watching movie dari Mr Bean on Holidays, tukar channel ke Miss Congeniality, tukar pulak The Vanishing. Yang kelakarnya, boleh pulak meratah sambal petai sambil menikmati lemonade panas. Dia punya bau, dah gosok gigi pun masih 'harum' lagi. Kuranglah sikit bila dah guna listerine hehehe. What a relief I managed to figure out where do the equations in the literature come from. So, bole lena tidur at nearly 2pm. Nak fahamkan camna depa dapat pun susah, belum lagi nak dapatkan equation and solution sendiri hahaha...

Jalan-jalan sekitar Helensburg dll kerana terpaksa

Sebenarnya banyak sangat kerja, tapi last sunday I have to join my accommodation trip program. We have to pay for this trip whether we wanna go or not. Darpada rugi duit, might as well I just join the trip. Hehehe..harap boleh diterima alasanku itu. Tak tipu ya, melainkan benar belaka ;)).

Our first destination was Simbio wildlife park, New South Wales.

Pi cari dulu Mr Koala...lupa pulak nama dia hehehe....kesian dia seekor saja di sini.

Ala-la comelnya... sekeluarga koala ....suka tengok anak dia melekap kat badan 'induk'nya hehhee...
Here is koala cousin...Wombat yang cukup aktif ke hulu ke hilir....It was hard to snap its photos.

What animal are these???
Ponies? I don't think so....kuda padi ka?

Well whatever they are definitely not donkeys :)). Yang ni llama kot....

Here is Red panda,
hmmm....more like Racoons and not Bears. And don't forget this Echidna...

macam landak je kan. Then we watched the koala and python show. We cannot hold the koala but we can only touch it. Koala tu hanya boleh diusap belakang sahaja. Tak boleh sentuh kapla dan kaki coz ada maksudnya...tak ingatlah...yang mana satu ntah, kalau kita sentuh as a sign suruh koala tu pergi...

Nampak tak koala ada 5 jari with 2 two thumbs. And below....

We can hold the phython...nak dililit dileher pun boleh jugak. Ko berani ke??? I memang berani...berani sentuh dengan satu jari je :)). Tak lekit, tapi sejuk...ewwwwwwww...geli mak. Ramai kawan yang berani pegang dan lilit ular tu di tengkuk....Siap ada yang cium lagi...

Then, sesi yang ditunggu-tunggu...feeding the kangaroos.
Tengok tu siap ada anak kangaroo dalam kantong tu, so cute....

Then, we went to Glow worm tunnel. Ada worm yang bercahaya dalam tunnel tu. Tak kuasa aku nak masuk ke terowong tuh...muddy and dark...ewwwwwwwww.
That tunnel is the remaining of the original Helensburgh railway station. And here is the second tunnel across the road.
Later, we went to National Falls.....

and the view down there which is called as Upper Falls....

La itu sajakah?...Jeram toi and Sg. Kemensah jauh lebih cantik, menarik n dbommmmmm. Then, we had chicken sandwich for lunch at Garie beach...I wish they put sauce or mayonis...

Later, we climbed up to Otford lookout to enjoy this beautiful view

and another fascinating view down the hill....
Next, we spent another 15 minutes at Bald Hill.

What a breathtaking view............
We stopped by at Scarborough hotel for a cuppa tea, before we went back to our accommodation.

Well, of course this is hot choc hahaha. I think, there was only one person who had a cuppa tea...a medical doctor. Siap cakap kat kami, tak sesuai minum hot choc di waktu petang, it will make us feel sleepy :)). Once again, really nice view from the hotel balcony....


Actually, once we were back in our unit, there was a playing drum session. But, I was too tired and got headache to join them. Here is the vegan choc/beetroot cake (eggless and butterless) baked by the person who in charge for this trip...
Yummy...guess what? bean curd (taufu) is one of the ingredient too.
Well, that's the end of my story for last weekend.

Makan-makan minggu lepas n proses membelonkan diri

Lately...memang momentum berblog makin berkurangan. Stress kerja pun satu hal la kan.
So, here is my dinner last two sunday...baked chicken in Masterfood marinate. To get spicy taste, I sprinkled chili powder before baking it.

Here is the makeover of the baked chicken leftover for my late lunch on Monday.

Sanang baitu...melt the butter in the pan, heat the chicken and its juice and add carrots, frozen beans, and 3 spoons water....yummy. And I had penne soup for dinner that nite and for lunch on tuesday.

Aku guna rempah sup pemberian kawan hehehe. Then I had this sambal kentang and frankfurter for dinner on tuesday. Sodap !!!!! rangup dan pedas.....

Then, of course ayam goreng for dinner on wednesday. On thursday, I had chicken kebab and coke for lunch and managed to finish another half of it before going back that evening. I supposed to meet my spv that late morning to discuss about my new project, unfortunately I got email from her telling that she can't have the discussion until next week because she can't send her daughter to childcare after seing the doctor. However, she came to my office with her cute daughter that afternoon and asked me to make the correction for my third paper again...yup AGAIN...huhuhu....

Feeling guilty for buying food instead of cooking it, I just had the leftover penne soup on friday.
However...when I went to buy groceries on Saturday, I ended up having lunch at Thai restaurant....prawn, mushroom tomyam, fish cakes and salad. The price is reasonable for that set with coke. Lupa lak...since I still have leftover pastry dough, I baked these peaches tart last two monday.
Nice flavour, but I prefer the blueberry cheese tart better. I got the recipe from here eventhough she used fresh apricots hehhe...Apricot, Peach, plum and nectarine kira sedara maralah jugak....stone fruits :). TQVM wendy....

Dasyat nafsu makan bila banyak kerja n stress. No wonder I gained weight 2-2.5kg after fasting month huhuhu...Of course I have to watch my diet and control my budget. But, sometimes I feel more stress bila cuba sekat what I wanna eat. Luckily, I don't spend much money on calling home. One of my friend told me that she spend $100/week to call her family...orang kaya takpa. Tapi kesian pulak bila tengok dia selalu makan nasi+kicap+telur goreng....tak tahulah sama ada nak jimat duit, jimat masa, malas masak atau dah lapar sangat hehehe....Hehehe I pun ada gak buat camtu, terutama kalau tak sempat masak pepagi nak bawak bekal. Tapi kena ada sayur la...ala potong je la tomato/cucumber. Kalau cherry tomatoes to sumbat je terus dalam bekas makanan..tak perlu potong hehehe. Actually, kalau nak masak pun bukannya lama pun...kalau masak yang simple tak sampai 10minit dah siap...moreover as I said previously cooking kinda stress therapy. Lain orang, lain ragamnya...asalkan bahagia :))

Bila dihubungi polis....

Ha! Jangan pulak salah faham ya. Polis tu bukan nak bagi surat saman mahupun minta aku hadir ke balai. The police contacted me via FB yesterday. Bukan...bukan, dia bukan minat kat aku. Do you want to know what the message is ?

salam, kamu ni anak abang R @ ayong, org kg dot dot... ke?

This is my reply

Salam,
Ha ah..sapo laie, anak ayong n R la.
Ni Induk A kan...anak Wan Molah kan, jiran dopan umah hehehe.

Alamak!!! habislah aku....Tulah, dah lama nak bersara Fb, tak bersara jugak.
Sesudahnya dapat dikesan si polis ini merangkap induk aku yang dah bertahun tak jumpa ni.
Bukannya induk kucing tau...Rasanya memang certain orang Ns panggil their auntie as induk instead of makcik. Actually she is not really my auntie. She is my mum's cousin or the daughter of my grandma's half sister. Aku memang tak suka jumpa sanak sedara dalam fb ni. Rasa terkongkong la. Tak bolehlah aku nak berjimba. Bila aku check senarai friend my induk ni, ada gak my other aunties which are my mum's half sister and her cousin. Dahlah makcikku, ex-guru ku juo. Begitu jugak hubbynye....Begitu jugak, hubby kepada my mum cousin....Apa da...keluarga guru la katakan. Dahlah keluarga kami ramai yang 'half' hehehe...Kalau korang fenin, aku pun fenin jugak hehehe....

Psst...ingat tak haritu aku cakap teringin nak makan kay ef see fried chicken. Well, here 3 pieces of it....Bila punya tah...rabu lepas kot. Tapi sodih...lupa letak serbuk cili...Apa2 pun sodap gak hehehe....

Ke hospital...

Memanglah aku kena masuk hospital tapi bukan dimasukkan ke hospital...
Ha! Angkat tangan siapa fikir aku yang kena hospitalised...minta dijauhkan. Actually I went there to visit my friend last saturday. He has been admitted to this hospital
due to bacteria infection at his leg. After gone thru 4 operations, alhamdulillah he's in stable condition even though at one point the doctor said that he close to death and almost lose his right leg. If I'm not mistaken he just had another operation this week for tissue regeneration. Hope his physiotherapy session going well and he will get well soon. It was really sad looking at his wife and his two children. What a strong family....you can read the following lines written by the wife...

Insyaallah kami redha dan pasrah dengan ujian yang sedang menimpa. Kami yakin pasti ada hikmah di kemudian hari yang tidak kami ketahui disebalik dugaan yang Allah beri ini. Semoga Allah terus memberikan kekuatan buat kami menghadapi hari-hari mendatang walau mungkin selepas ini, ia bakal mengubah pola kehidupan normal kami.

Insya allah, amiin....thing happen for a reason sis. Behind every dark cloud, there is a silver lining...

Tamatlah ziarah for 3o min....Here is the photos taken at the town.
Hehehe...pekan koboi pun ada statue....
The lodge and old building......

I really appreciate and enjoy looking at old architecture even though it kinda too much hehehe....Like to see doesn't mean that I wanna have the same architecture to my house ;)).....

Since, it was kinda early to go back, so we took the free bus sight seeing around Sydney. Then, we stopped at Circular Quay...Hehehe...buat sekian kalinya, kami camwhored at Sydney harbour bridge
and Sydney Opera house.
Dah penat jalan mesti laparkan. So I tried this nasi uduk and soda gembira, at indonesian cafe at Quay St, nearby UTS and Paddys market.....
Actually, nasi uduk quite similar to our nasi lemak, but maybe less coconut milk and serves with many side dishes such as fried chicken, scrambled egg, belinja chips, spicy potatoes+chicken gizzards(mempedal) and very hot chili paste....I think the 'happy soda' is the mixture of ice cream soda and sirap bandung hehehe....

Before that I had, beef burger for breakfast at Eddy Avenue St, Central station....
Puasnya dapat makan beef burger ni..macam makan burger Malaysia yang RM2 tu hehehe...Makan tak hingat kan, walaupun perut memang still sakit. Lepas dah makan nasi bersambal podeh tu, memang perut rasa panas dan pedih....padanlah muka kan. Ha! Jangan pulak ingat I buruk makan tau....separuh burger n nasi uduk tu aku tapau bawak balik la. Mana larat nak perabih....Hmm..camnolah my friend managed to finish her food.....

Psst...i like the quote at this bag.....
I LIKE IT, I WANT IT, I'M BUYING IT...special dedication to shopaholic ;).....
Ada sesape nak membantah ?????................

While waiting for the train to go back home, I managed to snap the photos of the miniature of NSW train.....


I like this double deck train....yang inilah yang kami naik utk kembali ke pangkal jalan hehehe...

UPDATE:
I am speechless....
My friend called me at 11.15am this morning telling about our friend condition.
Here's part of the email that I got...
Saudara kita ... sedang menjalani pembedahan Amputate kaki kanan beliau bermula dari bawah lutut. Mari lah kita sama2 berdoa agar beliau selamat dan stabil.

Ya Allah, selamatkanlah kawan kami dan berilah mereka kekuatan menghadapi dugaan ini.
Amiin....

UPDATE 2:
Sebenarnya saya masih tidak percaya perkara ini berlaku pada rakan kami. Memandangkan sepanjang hari, kami tidak mendapat sebarang perkembangan terkini mengenai pembedahan rakan kami , saya masih berharap dan berdoa agar kaki kawan kami dapat diselamatkan. Namun, mengikut email dari rakan kami malam tadi....

Pesakit menerima segala ujian dengan redha dan beliau mengatakan beliau telah bersedia untuk menempuhi ujian ini sebelum amputate dilakukan hari ini. Beliau mengatakan Allah telah mengurniakan kaki ini untuk tempuh yang panjang dan telah sampai masa Allah menarik sedikit rahmat ini. Selama kami berbual, pesakit kelihatan happy walaupun ada masanya beliau tidak dapat menahan rasa sedih yang kelihatan dari air mukanya.

Sayu hati bila membaca kata-kata pesakit tu. Bagaimana dengan kita bila ditimpa musibah?
Ya Allah, kurniakanlah kami sentiasa mensyukuri nikmatMU dan berikanlah kami kekuatan dan redha dalam menghadapi sebarang dugaan dan ujianMU.
