Bila tak sihat

Pagi tadi
Tiba2 je running nose
Abaikanlah...Resdung kot
pi ofis 9++am
Kalut minta clerk semak bilangan customers
Inform that numbers to boss
Call my customer sama ada guna pakej baru yg betul or not
Alhamdulillah betul
Sambung buat fail excel untuk bantu plan boss
Tiba2 rasa tak sihat
Kepala berat, mata penat, badan bahang
Patutlah rabu malam sakit tekak
Cepat2 telan panadol

Tengahari
12.35pm tiba2 dapat pesanan
Alamak tak perasan masa berlalu pantas
Kalut drive menuju destinasi
Boleh tahan lama and costly
Then had this for late lunch

Macam2 ada...ikan goreng,ikan masin,taugeh, pajeri nenas..RM4.50 je

Menu mcm tak demsm 😅😅😅

Around 4pm makin tak larat

Dengan bersin banyak kali

Kena telan panadol lagi
Tengok budget2018 sikit jelah
Tak larat dah

Around 6pm sambung tengok budget
Then buatlah apa yg patut
Around 7pm pi kedai
Around 8pm I had this for dinner

Maggi???
Waktu demam?
😅😅😅😅
Tadi tak sempat nak pi kedai
Nak masak tak larat
Lagipun ada problem gas kan
So tak beranilah
Kena panggil orang tengokkan....
Ginilah nasibkan
Hadap jelah...

Maggi black pepper

Tadi tidaklah lapar sangat tapi teringin nak makan berat for dinner since I didn't had proper lunch today. So korek2 apa yang ada, defrost frozen beef dan rendam maggi. Tumis bawang putih n merah dan halia, then masukkan hirisan nipis daging. Bila daging dah masak sprinkle ground black pepper dan masukkan maggi. Finally kicap dan sos tiram dan SIAPPP.....

Simple and fast.
Tapi kenapalah dapur berkecah.....

Tekak besar si orang sakit

Huish semalam di OZ, mesti ramai yang mengeluh di sana sini. Aku keluar pi uni around 4.30pm. Keluar je rumah terasa sangat udara panas membahang, walaupun langit berawan....

Sungguh ramai orang bersidai tepi pantai, selain lelaki yang berlenggeng dan wanita yang memakai pakaian seminimum mungkin berjalan ke sana ke mari.

Sampai ofis...manalah ada aircond kan. Bangunan lama kan...so pasang kipas laju gilerlah. tak cukup dengan itu, my opismate pun pasg mini cooler. At one time, I told my opismate rasa nak pakai bra aje hahhahha............Balik lebihkurang 10pm pun rasa panas membahang. Jenguk ke laut ramai orang dok berendam dalam rock pool ni...


Dah tengah malam pun panas lagi. Inilah kali pertama I buka tingkap memalam buta dan siap pasang kipas lagi. Konon pagi tadi bangun 3am, nak pulun buat kerja. Tapi pi buat benda ngarut. Then 6.30am baru belek thesis....Tapi biasalah terlelap, Sedar-sedar dah 7.45 hehehhe. Semalam punyalah panas, harini dingin je tergigil2 ditiup angin waktu tengahari semasa tunggu bas. Oz weather...we can't complain ;)

Owh...nak cerita pasal foodkan, tapi intro takde kaitan lansung hahhahah. Hah! nilah antara menu orang sakit. Either masak, leftover food, instant food atau beli

Egg noodle and bbq chicken

instant mashed potato, leftover peanut sauce+taupok+chicken liver n pedal

Sticky chicken wings+mixed beans salad+kale+boncocini

leftover Sup daging+instant mashed potato+rojak buah...

Murtabak sardin

Thai food

Baked chicken+mixed bean salad+stir fried kale

Opps...macam tak sakit je kan ;)))

Hari jumaat lepas teringat sangat nak makan ikan dan nasi goreng Thai. Tapi beras kan dah habis. Belek purse, sekali lagi duit ada AUD15...:(. Terpandang pulak AUD10 atas rak buku. Balancenya korek2 la plastik duit syiling. Alhamdulillah tertunai hasrat tekak hehehhe.....

Macam biasa, mesti ada orang menyibuk :P. Kalau I beli takeway food, ada je la yang tak kena. Ni I order yg free delivery pun pepaham je la...."Eh! mahalkan.". "EH! bukan ke minimum order for delivery AUD40". Hello! yang ko tengok tu entah mana-mana katalog. Kenalah pandai cari harga termurah, food yang best dan yg pasti HALAL....I bukan membazir ya atau belanja boros. Lagipun, I boleh makan ikan dan nasi tuh banyak kali...YA! ENAM KALI TAU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Yang egg noodle tu harga aud12.50 kot, tapi I boleh makan EMPAT kali ya. Sometimes orang ni tak sedar, walaupun dia jarang beli take away food, tapi dia beli bahan yang mahal takpun menggunakan sesetengah bahan dengan banyak. Contohnya sayur brocolini yg aud2.98 secekak kecil je tuh..yg hanya boleh dimakan satu atau dua kali sahaja. Lepas tu, bila beli barang banyak sangat, sampai tak nampak...at last buang je sayur/buah yang dah layu/busuk. Sekali masak, habis sebijik bawang besar...kalau masak sambal ok jugaklah nak guna bawang banyak tuh. Kalau dia makan di Fishmarket, sensorang je sekali makan boleh habis nearly or more than AUD35.  I habis aud13 je hehhehe....Tapi duit dia, lantak dialah kan....Tapi yg dia dok nyibuk dengan apa I belanja, apahal............

Udon Kelantan and mamak style

 This udon noodle was my menu for breaking fast on wednesday.

Tapi saya buat style laksam hehhe. Senang je, panaskan lebihan filling solok lada, tambah santan, garam, lada hitam dan sayuran. Then masukkan udon noodle yang telah dicelur. Sungguh enak bila ditambah sambal belacan yang ntah bila tuh hahhahah.

Then I had mamak style stir fried udon to break my fast yesterday.

Hahhah, tipu bukan style mamak pun. Perencahnya hanya curah sos cili ABC, sos tiram, sos tomato dan kicap.............sedap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 Tau tak, semalaman tak tido tau. Hah ko! aku berjaga selama 18jam tu. Tu pun nak kecohkan. Sukahati I la :P.  Kalau tidak silap semalam saya bangun tidur at 9.30am dan berjaga hingga 6.30am today . Eh! jap saya lupa la, mlm tadi aku tido jap dari 8.30-9pm. Kekenyangan berbuka kot hehe. Kemudian sambil fening ngan thesis writing aku ditemani cerekarama kontrak cinta dan satu lagi tajuk apatah Lagi 7 hari kot. Selepas bersahur dan seterusnya solat subuh, barulah aku tidur. I set the alarm for 9.30am, tapi guling-guling atas katil sedar2 dah 11.30am. Tak tahan tengok bilik bersepah aku, kemas dulu. Sampai keyboard pun aku bersihkan. Dah cabut keys, lepas tu terkial-kial nak pasang hahahhah.

Tengok jam dah 12.30pm. Manalah sempat nak siapkan my writing. Maka, sekali lagi tak sempat jugak nak submit my third draft to spv :(. Takpelah janji dia tahu saya masih wujud di bumi OZ nih. Semalam dia email, mintak softcopy of my two previous papers. She has already got the soft copy for the latest paper. She wanted to review my three papers for a conference next month. Hmm, sepatutnya sayalah yang buat review kan, tapi tulah tesis ni buat hidup tak tentu hala :(. Kalau dia tak letak nama saya, SIAP!!!! Alamak paper yang kena reject haritu, saya masih belum submit to other journal. Kena cepat submit before she go to that conference. Nanti kang tak pasal2 kena reject due to plagiarism paper sendiri. My friend dah kena tau. Dia dah presented her paper in one conference and later submitted that paper to a journal. Tiba-tiba, the editor contacted her due to plagiarism issue. Yelah kan ada software to check this plagiarism hehhehe. So, dia kena ubahlah ayat2 dia. So bare in mind ya, it is better to publish the paper in journal first, then only present it in a conference :). Reputation and credibility as author kena jaga ;).

Memang serabutlah ngan thesis ni. Haritu Each project has their own chapter with their own theoretical background. But, after second draft my spv suggested to write all general formulas in new Chapter-Theoretical Background(CTB) to make the thesis neater and to avoid any repetition. Writing general formula meaning that I have to draw new figure, construct general model and solve it. And I tell you there are many models :(. To make matter worst AI, the software to draw figure has expired. So, I just draw the figure in Mword. Since I used latex to type my thesis, I have to convert the figure files doc to eps. Tulah kalau guna AI boleh terus save as eps je. Bila google luckily boleh guna online converter. So, jadi remeh. Draw figure in Mword-convert to pdf-snapshot the selected area-copy in Paint and save as jpeg-use online converter jpeg to eps. Memang boleh copy je figure from mword to Paint, tapi paint tak preserve certain features, so graphic tak smooth. Not only that I have to modify whatever I have written in all chapters for certain projects to match that new chapter, CTB.  The problem is sometimes I still have to to include the formulas in that chapters to match the specific figures and definitely for better description. Yelah nanti examiner/reader asyik kena selak page depan to understand certain chapter. So banyak buang masa kat situ, nak fikir how to write and how to arrange to avoid any repetition. Tu belum lagi latex yang giler, yang asyik2 kena save nama baru. Tak kuasa aku nak uninstall and reinstall. Selain tu, nak figure out benda-benda remeh macam nak buat footnote under table, nak pastikan ia sebaris..bla...bla...So dah buang masa pulak surf tenet mencari info tuh. Bila cuba tak dapat, kena google lagi grrrrrrrrrrr

Spring just started on 1 sept which was last saturday. Normally it still slight cool during early spring.  But it's really strange this time. It really warm for the past 2-3 days, just like summer. Semalam aku pakai baju nipis je bila ke city. Biasanya dulu still kena pakai cardigan. Luckily, it's windy today terasa nyaman di dalam bilik hehhehe. Owh! kenapa aku keluar ke city pun ada kisah jugak nak dibebelkan tau...

Oklah...nak turun mandi. Kat bawah dah senyap, tadi philipino hmate ada tetamu. Depa ni selalu je buat acara makan2.......

update at 3.40pm.
Baru je nak turun tadi, tetiba terdengar suara lelaki lain pulak kat bawah. Ingatkan hmate german pulak ada tetamu. Tapi macam pelik pulak dengar german hmate kecoh2 sangat. Lagi pelik bila dia terdengar dia cakap dengan dengan philipino hmate "We are living here, it's not a museum". Tapi rupanya ada accommodation staf and surveyor datang for inspection. The reason for this inspection is for government to know whether our rent is worth the accommodation condition or not. Staf tu nak masuk bilik aku, aku tak benarkan hehehhe...memanglah tadi dah kemas, tapi ada pinggan mee tu aku tak bawak turun semalam hehhehe.

Berbuka puasa dengan maggi :(

Salam Ramadhan. Selamat menjalani ibadah di bulan Ramadhan.

Semoga Ramadhan kali ini penuh barakah. 

Mohon ampun atas silap dan salah. 

Entah kenapa, terus terang saya katakan ketibaan Ramadhan kali ini, kurang dirasai. Pada hari khamis. 19 Julai 2012, lebih kurang 6pm-30 min sebelum waktu Isyak rakan menghantar mesej menyatakan bahawa Syeikh di masjid telah memaklum tarikh berpuasa di sini jatuh pada hari Jumaat. Rasa seperti terpinga-pinga sahaja. Mungkin ketika itu saya sedang serabut dan masih berada di office. Seperti lirik lagu ManBai

Selangkah demi selangkah

Setahun pun sudah berlalu

 Masa yang pantas berlalu...

Sehingga tak terasa 

ku berada di bulan Ramadhan semula

 

 Dan seperti hari pertama Ramadhan pada tahun lepas, saya berbuka puasa dengan maggi.

Cuma kali ini bukan maggi expired hehehe. Oh silap, sebenarnya saya berada di rumah rakan dan kami berbuka puasa dengan kurma, gajus dan milo. Terlewat beberapa minit dari waktu berbuka 5.09pm. Hanya lebih kurang 7.30pm saya dengan tidak malunya meminta pada tuan rumah untuk makan maggi hehehe.

Memang saya sangat sibuk dengan pelbagai urusan pada hari pertama Ramadhan ini. Saya pada mulanya berjanji dengan rakan untuk menemaninya untuk membeli kotak pada lebihkurang 9.30 pagi di suatu kawasan perindustrian dan semestinya kami perlu berjalan kaki 1km ke sana. Disebabkan dia perlu menguruskan sesuatu pada pagi itu, maka saya jangkakan urusan pembelian kotak dibatalkan. Pada pukul 9.30 pagi saya sangat terkejut apabila dia memberitahu dia sudah pun berada di city. Maka dengan kalutnya saya pun bersiap. Bila saya menghubungi rakan sekali lagi saya  terkejut apabila dia meminta saya berjumpanya di Reject shop di city, instead of  dia menaiki bas dari city dan saya menunggu bas tersebut di bus stop berhampiran rumah saya. Maka, off I went to city and it took me aroud 12 minutes to be there. There was Friday market selling lots of stuff such as antique stuff, handmade soap, knitted beanies/begs, fresh bread, fruits and vegetables. I couldn't help but stop there and enjoy looking at the beautiful stuff. I almost buy baby cap and booties for my friend who is soon to expect her bundle of joy.

When, I checked my phone, I was really shocked to see a message from my friend stated that she is waiting for the bus. So I ran like mad to catch the bus and unfortunately I missed it just for a few second. In my breathless condition, I didn't know whether I am angry or upset with my friend's sudden decision. I tried to call her but she couldn't be reached. I sent her a message stating that I missed the bus, so she has to wait for me at the bus stop nearby the Industrial estate. Then she called me and she sound confused. You know what? She was actually still in Reject shop waiting for me hehehe. That message that I just received was sent early in the morning while she was about to get on the bus to city that morning. Unfortunately I received it nearly 2 hours after that. What a story huh....So I met her nerby Reject shop and we asked the staff in RS in case they sell boxes. Yes, they do. Anyway we decided to go to Pack and Send, the shipping company to make several enquiries incuding get the estimation for my friend's things. I just asked for quotation for 2 removal cartons which weight around 20kg and 2 book boxes which weight around 15kg. Do you want to know the cost for economy  shipping from here to Malaysia. AUD641 !!!! Yup!!!! I am not kidding. Ridiculous rite? The shipping cost is far more expensive from the stuff to be shipped.............So, I asked my friend to call this Malaysian based shipping agent.  Even though they have several cases previously and we condemned them...but yeah..we have no choice. Beggar can't be chooser. When my friend called the agent and quoted 2 more boxes, we found out that the shipping rate is half from the one from Pack n send. The agent asked her to send all the details to him immediately if she want to ship it urgently next week. BUt of course we have to estimate the total of her boxes including the dimension.

First, we went back to Reject shop to buy the large packing boxes. Unfortunately, their small boxes are not in good proportion. Undefined shape rather than like cuboid or cubus hehehhe. We only found one good one only. It's all right, my friend can come here later. That first few boxes is important to do mock up packing so that we can estimate the total boxes needed.  Then we went to uni. I was really busy with my application and need to fill in certain forms, print it, scan and send it via email. The problem is our school just got new printer. So most of us still figure out how to use it. For example, when I checked at the printer's touch screen display, there is an error while sending my documents. There is no Cancel icon at the touch screen. One lecturer tried to help me but she can't find the Cancel icon either. So, it seemed a lucky guess when I select my name and touch the STOP button. Something new to both of us hehehe.

When I went down the stairs to get the printed documet, I was so suprised and a bit furios to see my friend there. She didn't even tell me she want to come, after all I was really busy. She wanted to print and scan her form in my school since due to certain reason she didn't want to go to her school anymore. So, I have to figure out how to use the printer to scan and directly email the scanned document. I couldn't find my email address at the printer's display, only the lecturers' name.  But I just wonder why my friend said that in her school, normally the admin staff who key in/register the student's email address. It made me feel a bit piss off thinking that she actually want me to go to my school's admin office just for her sake. But..whatever, after all I need to scan and email my documents too later. Anyway, after quite sometime, we figured it out hehehe.

When she left, I manage to settle my documents and at 3.01pm I send it via email to the officer in charge. Alhamdulillah...so then it is the time to focus on my writing. Oh yeah, my friend have to come again to scan and email her passport. And around 4pm, I went to her home to help in estimating the total number of boxes needed. It just that I have the experienced of packing and shipping certain stuff home, that's why I can help. Otherwise I am also clueless hehehe. I planned to stay there for a while and catch the 4.30pm bus to get home at break my fasting at 5.09pm. First, I showed her how to properly pack her microwave oven. Since she has thrown away the foam, I just fold her clothes to store it in the empty space in the microwave oven's box. The purpose it to secure the oven as well as to make it stay in the middle. The funny thing is when we moved the box, we heard something moving. Only then she realized that she forgot to take the plate out hahhaa...It's all rite, she can take everything out and repacking letter. Since she got lots of stainless steel pot and pans, I showed her how to wrap one of it using buble wrap.

 Looking at her other stuff, I think she need to take out all her stuff in the cupboard too, so we can sort it out and estimate the total boxes needed. And of course we need more time to do that and that explained why I have to break my fasting with the above mentioned food :). It it better for me to list down the size and the number of boxes needed as well as to number it and figure out which item goes to which box. So not only we can estimate the total number of boxes needed as well as how many more to buy. We also have to measure the dimension of the boxes that she has bought. I tell you it was not an easy task measuring the boxes and the suitcases using the ruler.  After Isyak prayer, i still busy remeasuring the dimension of the boxes/suitcase just to make sure and followed by keying in the total number of boxes/suitcases in Microsoft excel to estimate the total cubic dimension as well as the shipping rate. That's the details that the agent wanted. After having my instant noodle, I help her washing the dirty dishes that may have been there for few days or more. Yeap, I understand that and actually it is not a big deal if we stay alone and got so many things to do and to think. And finally, at around 8.50pm I left her house. When I walked to the roadside, I saw the bus to my accommodation just arrived and again I have to run like mad thinking that it will leave any second. Then, after nearly 5 minutes on the bus and still catching my breath, I just wonder why the bus driver still outside the bus...grrrrrrrrrr. When I reached home, I joined kanda watching the movie and later stir fried bean sprout for my sahur. Well, that's the end of my first day of Ramadhan..

This morning, I just reheated bean sprout and the leftover kerutub for my sahur on the second day of Ramadhan at 5.10am.

My Philipino housemate joined me eating early in the morning since she can't  sleep since 3am. At first I thought kanda has had her sahur, then only I realized that I haven't heard any sound from kitchen since I actually cannot properly sleep since 2.30am. So, I went up and knocked her door. But she didn't open the door. While I was about to sit on the dining chair table, I heard a sound from her room upstairs. Luckily she wake up even though she only got 10 minutes to reheat her food, to eat and drink hehehhe.........Eh!!!..how I end up writing in English hahhaha...
