MALAYSIAKU GEMILANG

*Posting ini akan ditulis sepenuhnya dalam Bahasa Melayu sempena kemerdekaan negara ke-50, Bulan Mendaulatkan Bahasa Melayu. MERDEKA!!

3 hari selepas sambutan ulangtahun kemerdekaan negara ke 50. Semangatnya masih terkesan di hati. Yusuf Fahim yang baru berusia 16bulan, masih belum boleh menuturkan kata, apatah lagi memahami erti merdeka, masih lagi teruja meneriakkan "kkkhaaaa" bermaksud merdeka setiap kali melihat Jalur Gemilang berkibar. Lebih meriangkan bila melihat dia bersemangat mengibarkan bendera mengikut rentak lagu tema Malaysiaku Gemilang di depan televisyen. Anak kecil pun tahu menghargai hari merdeka.

Siapa aku pada tahun ke 50 kemerdekaan negara?

Umur : 29 tahun 7 bulan 10 hari

Status : Isteri kepada A.Fadil Abd Majid ~ usia perkahwinan 2 tahun 3 bulan 11 hari ,Ummi kepada si comel Yusuf Fahim ~ 1 tahun 4 bulan 8 hari, Bakal melahirkan cahaya mata kedua kami pada 2 November 2007 , Insya-Allah

Kerjaya : Masih lagi seorang Jurutera Awam dan Struktur di Jurutek Consultants, dari selepas graduasi sehingga sekarang, dah 7 tahun. Masih belum bersedia untuk ke peringkat seterusnya, Jurutera Profesional. Banyak sangat alasan.

Kewangan : Masih belum merdeka. Masih ada hutang kad kredit yang berbaki hampir RM6k (ini jumlah 3 kad, yang amat jarang digunakan kebelakangan ni). Cuba menyimpan sedikit2, labur sikit dalam ASB, TH, Insurans. Alhamdulillah, masih cukup untuk belanja, lebih2 lagi masa2 karnival jualan murah.. hihihi.. Kereta dan rumah, ini adalah dua perkara yang perlu ditanggung setiap bulan.. Insya allah rumah baru kami akan siap tahun depan. Yeay!!

*Merdekakah aku?

It's Flooded Again?

When : Last Sunday Morning - 01/04/07

Where : My Parent's Home, TTDI Jaya, Shah Alam

Heavy downpour for almost 3 hours. The drainage system simply failed to work. This is the second time flood happened in less than a month time. Weird, coz the drain upgrading works had just completed. But why doesn't it works? It took almost 5 hrs for the water to completely drained out. Many hypothesis i heard on what caused the flood, nearby on going construction works, abondoned huge retention pond project, failed pumping system... bla..bla..bla..

Where are all the so called experts who claimed that they have th e best way to improve the situation? What happened to the so called RM 300M fund announced by the MB to upgrade the system? It just got worse and worse..

Banana Cake Anyone?

I bake this simple but superbly delicious home made banana cake just now. I ve tried the steam version a couple of times, but this time, baked version. This is one way of not just letting tonnes of bananas we brought back from my hubby's hometown over the CNY holidays, into the bin. (yaa.. still have some more, should think of pengat pisang, lempeng pisang, or simply cekodok tomorrow)

Let me share the recipe which was given to me by one of my in law's close friend.

Kek Pisang

Bahan-bahan

8 biji pisang emas/pisang kapas
1 1/2 cawan tepung gandum
1 cawan gula halus
3 biji telur
1/2 cawan minyak masak
2 sudu teh soda bikarbonat
2 sudu teh serbuk penaik
1 sudu teh esen vanilla

Cara-cara

1. Pukul gula dan telur sehingga kembang.
2. Masukkan minyak masak, esen vanilla, pisang yang telah dilecek.
3. Masukkan tepung gandum, soda bikarbonat dan serbuk penaik yang yelah di ayak terlebih dahulu.
3. Gaul sebati dan selama 25 minit pada suhu 180degC.

*Nota : - Ini adalah separuh daripada sukatan asal resipi ini (semua bahan2 telah dibahagi dua kecuali soda bikarbonat dan serbuk penaik)

A Biscornu

The motif that i stitched, later finished into a cute biscornu. This piece is stitched using Anchor multicolor floss #13xx, on a 14 count Aida. Biscornu is an eight sided small pincushion. Size : 2" x 2" x 1" thick.

I m going to construct another biscornu for my stitching group exchange programme. To those who are interested try here is the tutorial link :
