Bubur lambuk berhias

Semalam kalut nak pi ofis

Semasa dah masuk ke perkarangan tempat kerja

Baru sedar saya tertinggal cermin mata

Nak patah balik malas

Lagipun dah lewat

Padanlah muka ...

Kabur nak hadap laptop

Sakit kepala kerana memaksa diri

Tapi tulah...

Kerja gerak sikit je

Tapi mulut gerak dari 1-4pm

🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😅....

Kalut balik solat

Then kalut juga balik dari ofis

Nearly 7pm

Masuk tempeh dalam air fyer

Potong and rendam brocoli

Reheat sambal hitam dalam microwave

Aik...awat sambal mcm kekal bentuk

Biasa tak sampai 20 saat dah panas

Adoi rosaklah tu...

Ni mesti gara2 masak nasi guna mv haritu

Dah la my gas stove dah tak berfungsi

Terpaksa guna electric cooker

Celur brocoli

Reheat bubur lambuk

Reheat sambal...

Buka Danmuji

Nah siap bubur lambuk berhias

Anyway

Moral of the story for yesterday

Jangan mudah bersangka2

Jangan mudah kecil hati

Orang tak ajak

Rupa-rupanya orang tolong ambilkan

For today

Long list of things to do

Kalut print itu ini

Sempat dengar kisah si ibu yg tiada mood beraya

Beraya seorang diri buat pertama kali 😢

Atau balik ke kampung menumpang saudara

Anak tunggal akan beraya di rumah mertua

Jiran pula tiba2 tidak bertegur sapa

Kesian kan...

Sebab tu kita yang mendengar ni

Patut bersyukur with what we have

Dan doakan baik2 utk org yg begini

My colleague suddenly shared her voice note material

I searched for other material

And shared with her

Sharing is caring 😁

Together we are stronger

Then I downloaded my customers' documents

I am really worry about my laptop capacity

Only 3.2gb left...

While I was struggling to complete my list of things to do

My colleague reminded me to check her customer's project 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

As what I have planned the day before

I totally forgotten about it

While I was rushing with the checking task

My biskut raya supplier came to deliver my order

Then another biskut raya supplier sent me a message 

that I can pick up my order at the main office at 4.15pm 

Oh! NO!! 😱😱😱

Alhamdulillah I done submit it by 4.20pm

Then I drove hurriedly to the main office

Oh! NO!!!

Where is my supplier office

I went to a different building

To make matter worst she neither reply my messages

Nor pick up my call

I had to call another friend

🤣🤣🤣

Since when did they relocate to another building???

Biskut raya is biskut raya

I missed my friends here

My ex housemates

Short meeting 

But very meaningful

Yes...we need to held a reunion

Then I went back to my office

Uploading files and reorganizing them in the new folder

Then shared them with my customer

Next I went to shop lot

Unfortunately the matcha tea is gone 😭😭

Went to speedmart to buy almond milk

Still no stock 😭😭😭

went back home

Reheat the leftover rice

Reheat sambal jawa

Reheat ayam masak kicap, add on black pepper sauce and brocoli

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...

Rezeki disyukuri, jangan dibazirkan,

Alhamdulillah saya bersyukur dengan rezeki Ramadhan.
Buat pertama kalinya pada bulan Ramadan ini, saya berpeluang berbuka puasa dan solat tarawih di surau dalam Uni pada hari Selasa minggu ini. Rice and Lamb adalah menu selepas berbuka pada hari tersebut.

Hidangan nasi ini memang sangat besar bagi saya. Saya hanya mampu makan seperempat dari nasi dan cebisan kecil lamb tersebut. Ini gara-gara kami mulakan dengan makan tamar dan yogurt ketika berbuka. Saya memang menyukai yogurt ini walaupun rasanya masin dan masam.

Hanya selepas solat maghrib kami dihidangkan dengan nasi tersebut. Maka tidak hairanlah saya tidak mampu menghabiskan nasi yang begitu banyak itu. E..eh tetiba formal sangat pulak. Ok kita tukar mode hehehhe....Memanglah tak larat nak perabih nasi tu masa kat surau. Balik rumah aku ngap seperempat lagi nasi tuh dengan seketul lamb yang besau tuh. Makan dengan sambal yg aku dah asingkan harituh hehehe. Baki nasi, simpan dalam fridge. Punyalah tak sedar diri, lepas tu aku boleh minum lagi sebotol yogurt tuh hehhee. Nasib baik tak sakit perut tau.

Selain rezeki makanan, saya juga mendapat rezeki 'harta'. Pada hari rabu, kawan aku yang akan kembali ke Malaysia pada hari jumaat telah mewariskan 'harta peninggalan'nya seperti heater, food container gadang dll....Pssssssssssssst.....acuan roti jala ada tau ;). Hmm bilalah nak buat projek menjala ni kan??????

Rezeki tak semestinya datang dalam bentuk makanan, wang ringgit dan harta. Pada petang rabu aku diberi kekuatan meminta izin dari spv to do something. Something that I have been keeping to myself since May and I just afraid to tell her. Moreover, I kinda forget about that until this week I become panic. Alhamdulillah my spv approved that....I am really lucky to have really understanding spv. Berkat Ramadan :)....

Then later, I had iftar at the surau again. Yumm..roasted chicken.


Since I got this late, so I just had yogurt while watching my friends eating their portion. By the time I got my portion, I was already full with yogurt hehhee...So, I just tried to finish the potato chips especially those in the gravy. While waiting for the bus to go home, my friend come and gave me karipap and sambal ikan bilis...Alhamdulillah :)....rezeki again


Once arrived at home, I gave one of the karipap to my friend and of course I felt hungry hehhee....So apalagi ngap satu karipaplah. Bila terpandang sambal, bolehlah makan dengan nasi dan ayam tadi. But still tak habis coz ayam tu memang besar. So, simpanlah the leftover chicken in the fridge. Di sebabkan sambal bilis tuh really berapi, aku terpaksalah memakan loacker wafer untuk mengurangkan kepedasan hehehe.....

Semasa menikmati hidangan ini, tiba-tiba rakan saya menghubungi saya. Kebetulan kami terserempak semasa menunggu bas. Saya bertanyakan rahsia bagaimana dia sentiasa ada duit untuk kerap pulang ke kampung dan juga kejayaan membentangkan kertas kerja sama ada in OZ or overseas. So, that's why she called me just to share her experience, not to self-praise or brag herself. Actually, I kinda shocked that she called me since we are not close friend, but ya...alhamdulillah berkat Ramadan. Insya allah, saya akan amalkan as what she does. Of course, certain of it just the things that we normally do, but maybe we can improve it to be better :).....

Lupa nak cerita pasal solat tarawih di sini. Syahdu sungguh bila mendengar kemerduan suara imam yang semestinya orang Arab. Bak kata my friend macam orang bermusabaqah pulak. Meremang bulu roma dan meleleh air mata ketika dengar getaran suara dan tangisannya semasa berdoa. Imam di sini membaca doa ketika berdiri sama ada selepas atau sebelum membaca doa qunut semasa solat witir. Jadi, tiada lagi bacaan doa selepas selesai solat. Terdengar juga Libya dan Gadafi disebut ketika bacaan doa tersebut. Memang kasihan pada pelajar Libya di sini, kerana bantuan kewangan untuk mereka mungkin akan ditamatkan pada akhir bulan ini dan mereka terpaksa pulang ke Libya yang pada ketika ini huru-hara, tidak kenal siapa yang baik, siapa yg jahat. Khabarnya pelajar Libya di Eropah dan US tidak menghadapi masalah kewangan lantaran negara mereka mempunyai simpanan di sana, tetapi tidak di Australia. Semoga Libya kembali aman dan rakan-rakan Libya dapat meneruskan pengajian mereka di sini. Amiin.
