Resepi Ketam Goreng Cili

Last night Mom told me to cook the crabs in the fridge. It's been few days since we bought them. And today my belly did not feel for Ketam Masak Lemak so I chose to try a new recipe. FYI, as fas as I remembered, crabs in my house have never been cook in different way except Masak Lemak.  =D

Lets share the ingredients first.

• 1KG crabs. These were small sizes.
• Dried chillis + onions + garlic + belachann = blended
• Air asam
• Chilly sauce
• Oyster sauce
• Salt
• Sugar
• Turmeric powder

Now let's go for the steps:

1. Marinate the crabs with turmeric powder and a pinch of salt.
2. Fried them.
3. Blended stuff = saute till smell raise (naik bau) miahahahahahahahahhahahahah
4. Throw in all the sauces.
5. If you like, can add an egg. (I did)
6. Salt and sugar.
7. Lastly, throw in the fried crabs.
8. Done!!!

Em' crabs gettin' fried yo!

I never knew fried crabs taste very gooodddd!

Tadaaaaaaaaa!

Hope you enjoy it coz I did!

Always

It always ended up like this. Now i'm.sad and lonely and hopeless and helpless.

I want to be happy. Happy where art thou?

Post Graduation

Now for post graduation time.

Yesterday I left Umar's house pretty early to run errands at UKM - returning the robe, getting the scroll, collecting pictures. Phew. But I dowanna talk about that.

I lerbbbbbbb my baju. Chiffon with swarovski crystals. Piece of cloth from engagement gift I made into modern baju kurung. Not gonna wear it again coz sooo sayang. Scared I will spoil it.hehe 

Ouchhhhhhhh. I didnt know they did this to all the soft toys. Ouchhhhh!!!!!!!

I took the picture in the afternoon. Later that night, all the flowers blossomed. Vewyyyy pwettty!

Now spot the differences =D

Ok bye!

My Convocation Day =)

Let the pictures do the talking. I'm still exhausted.

miahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaha. Kak GG, this pose ok? hahaha

Peeps on my left.

On the right.

Spot mehhhh. I love the fact that I smiled in all the pictures, which means I was genuinely happy yesterday. Oh this one was taken by Abah from his seat. =)

Abah forced us to pose behind the tree =.='

Yeay I got 4 bouquets of flowers!!!!!

Sisters!

From the screen

Abah didnt smile for the camera. But because of the balloon. He tried to make fun of me. Ciss!

The reason for this picture is I was making 360' turn looking for the balloon. I tot I lost it when the rest laughed at me. The thread tersangkut at one of the flowers. ish~

Mi familia =)

Ehem. ehem..

But I lost sight of my friends and didnt get to take group pictures with them. And no pose baling topi konvo too =(

But but apart from that, I was soooooo happy yesterday. In fact the happiest in this few months. After all the mumbo jumbo, we went to Fariz for makan-makan. B blended well with my family, my family treated him well too. Annnnddddd the best part is my parents addressed themselves as 'Mak' , 'Abah' and 'Umi' when they spoke to him. miahahahahahahah

Ok bye !

Spelling errors

I love my phone. It allows me to update my blog anytime provided i can find free wireless anywhere. Yeaaa i'm yet to subscribe to internet package,waiting till i get a job.haha

Anyhoo, the downside of the convenience is that spelling errors are unavoidable. Most of the time I didnt notice then till i log in using laptop, which has bigger viewing pleasure.

So pardon me lovelies because is not that i dunno how to spell, but the blindspot of my eyes =D.

P/s i have proof read my thesis thousands of time and still when it was sent to my super, many typos were detected.

Reminiscing the time I went crazy with the write ups reading juniors whining on FB about finding topics bla bla. Aahhh great times back then.

7 wonders of the World. Eh?

Today is the day!

The arrows indicate where it all started. From a simple question:

"Pul, ko anak tunggal ka?"

leads to 7 years of journey. =D

Yeah we never spoke at all,  before the dialogue and he sat right behind me.

Yess the guy who's pointing at the camera is him. This was taken few days before SPM. We've just started dating and we still kept it a secret back then. Hence, not a single picture of us together.

He will by flying from Bintulu tomorrow night. Yess he's coming for my convocation day =))))))

And we get to celebrate our anniversary which is makaning at Fariz jahh. After we both burned holes in our pockets paying for flight tickets, the theme for the anniversary isssss Budget is Cool. hahahahaha

"Ya Allah, jadikanlah dia Saiful Fikri bin Salleh dikasihi pada hati-hati mereka yang beriman dan gembirakanlah dia Saiful Fikri Bin Salleh dengan kekayaan sehingga seratus dua puluh kebaikan. Allah adalah sebaik-baik pemelihara dan Dia amat mengasihi daripada segala-galanya."

Alright. See you pretty people soon.

I thought Astro Beyond was perfect

Few days ago, there was a heavy downpour in our village. Heavy rain completed with thunder and lightning that we had to switch off the modem as we've had experiences of the modem got struck by lightning, twice!! (phew, what a complex sentence there.haha). Anyhoo, i remembered at that exact moment I told my Abah how perfect Astro signal was because we could watch the show without a single hiccup. With old Astro a single fat cloud standing in the way could make you miss your favourite show.


Then today, was a bright shiny humid day with no hint of rain. I was sitting on the couch reading a magazine with the TV on. Suddenly I noticed from the corner of my eyes the screen turned blue. There it was (refer to the picture).

I find it intriguing hence the pointless post of the day.

How's your weekend?:-)

victime or victimising?

Facebook is for all kinds of people including stalkers. This is a general knowledge known by all the users worldwide. And since Facebook has updated its new layout, privacy is almost impossible on Facebook.

That's why it's such an eyesore to read statuses like:

"aku ada kacau ko ke sibuk hal aku"

"eh biarlah aku togok arak kubur lain lain ko sebok asal"

"aku syg boipren aku sebb tu nak amik gmbr plok mcm nak bobok asal sebok?"

Because you did those publicly dumbasses!!!!!!! People can say what ever they want to say because you give them the chance to do so in the first place.

Ok emo.

But there's one good feature on facebook that i reaaaallly luvvv which is Subcribing. It allows you to choose how much you want to know about your friends' updates. It's totally different with the hide' function.

Well my point here is stop playing victim when some body is nosying in your life because the truth is you started it first.

Ok you can go butthurting now. Adios!

How do you make decision in life?

Yesterday was an emotional day for me. Maybe because soon Aunt Flow (quote Giuliana Rancic =D ) is visiting.

Am I that young?

There still some awkward moments when some people ask me this question,

"Dont you think you are still very young to get married?"

And it's not rhetorical because usually it is followed with the kind of look, cynical one.

Most of the time I would joke around bla bla bla but the truth is, when is not that young? What is the suitable age?

My parents got married at the age of 24. My brothers both at 25 and 24. Were they asked the same question like me?

If the intention is curiosity or you know, not cynical, I would be fine with it. But the indirect message implied from the tone, facial expression and body language is I'm itching to get married. GATAL bak kata orang Melayu. And another thing implied was I'm not cool, to be tied with commitment bla bla bla...

Sometimes I do feel like no one is supporting the decision. No one is happy with what I've chosen to be. and this comes even from the closest family members too. and at this moment I'm not that excited and happy but we'll see. Maybe HE has a better plan for me.

Air Asia Free Seats Promo!

2 days ago I received an email from Air Asia that some promo was on its way. True to my instinct, it was the free seats promotion baby!!!! I made it such a big fuss in the family because free seat whatttt, where the price for a ticket can be super cheap. Yess I'm talking about the ticket to 'angkut' the whole family to Sibu, for my wedding reception there =D

Literally last night, B and I felt like we were going for a war, with all the details on our sides waiting for the clock to strike midnight. I was really nervous, waiting for the page to refresh to show me the number I wanted. Hahahah I even sweat ok! Why I was that emo? Becauseeeeeeeeeeee normal price to Sibu one way per pax is RM208 without luggage/food/ tax included. I have how many to carry over there? See? Pengsan I tell you!.

BUtttttttttttttttttttt even with the promo, the fare to Sibu remain the same *shattered glass*. Maybe because it is during school holiday. I almost lost hope. Even shed tears a bit. A bit only la. I'm jobless and lady luck seems to hate me. haha It was almost 1AM already and mom was asleep. I woke her up to tell her the bad news and went to bed. I called B, he was disappointed as well. However, both of us noticed that the fare to Kuching, Miri and Bintulu start at RM10. How come Sibu so expensive one???? So we thought about making connecting flight from kuc to sibu bla bla bla and off we went to sleep.

I woke up at 5am this morning just to find for miracle. Honestly at this point, I was losing hope. But God has many great ways that I can never guess. My second bro sent me a message into my FB saying that he will fly to Miri first with his family for jalan jalan. then he'll fly to Kuching. So I told mom the idea why dont we stop over at Kuching for few days then proceed to Sibu? Mom was reluctant at first but if you know me, I can be very persuasive when I'm desperate.hahahah She finally agreed and without further ado, I booked the tickets.

Here's the summary of our journey. Cewahhhh!!

31st May 2012

From Kul - Kuc. Spend 2 nights in Kuching.

2nd Jun 2012

Kuc -  Sibu. Spend another 2 nights there.

4th June 2012 (My birthday by the way =D )

Sibu - Kuc - 1st flight in the morning.

Kuc - KL -  yet to be booked. Confident much?

Anyhoo, I wont be going back with them. Staying with the in-laws. 

I'm super happy right now despite the bad news regarding our posting. I just couldnt care less about the news right now because my biggest concern for the wedding can be ticked off the list. Phew!!

Now I'm at peace. Really because my concern has always been about flight tickets. Now I dont care about dresses, dais, veils etc. I just want to be married. Ok gatal much?

Another thing that's making me soo happy is that the grand total of the flight ticket is not even half of my budget. Annnnndddd we get to jalan-jalan at Kuching since my sisters in law have never been to Sarawak. 

Ok Nurul you can shut up now!

Thank you to Mom who's willing to support half of the budget and B for letting me 'borrow' your credit card. Dah bayar ok!!  =p

Bye

I'm still fasting today. Have another 6 days to go. I know, seems like forever right?

Alhamdulillah I have completed my Puasa Enam now working on my Puasa ganti =)

The dates for our wedding reception have been confirmed. Now we are working on the budget to buy flight tickets for our family. I'm not complaining but am gonna be at least 5k poorer if all members go or 3k if only some are going. Eh koreksyen, mom will be poorer. not me. I cannot complain because once I even sigh about the price, some people will say 'Itulaa...sapa suruh carik orang jauh"

And I just want to tell them this 'Pergila tanya Allah, Dia yang bagi'.

But sabar je la....

I have messaged some of the closest family and friends about the date. I really hope they can make it on the day. Plis plis plis



But I have one happy news, at least for me. But I'll wait till the right times come =)

I will be one of the Orangers next week! =)

Last Saturday I went to get my convocation robe. Boy there was human flooding UKM, like literally with Wedding Reception at DTAMS, Bicycle tournament (maybe la) congesting the traffic and robes collection =D. I was there about 10am and gasped at the amount of people there.

Anyhoo, there were about 6 counters for collecting the souvenirs. I queued up at the farthest lane and it was the best choice since the lane moved faster.haha after collecting the bags for me and ambun, off i went to Teater Rimba room to collect the robes for Fpend graduates.

At the room, the guy refused to give me S size robe. I argued a bit and he simply said. "M is okay for you". Tetiba I terasa okay. tembam kah aku?hahahahhahahah

Then I bumped into Olivia and Visha. Sorry guys couldnt stay longer to chat coz mom is waiting in the car =)

I spent less than 45 minutes and I survived the crowd.

Lets cekidaut what I got.

Barely see the lanes.

Kad Pintar

2 passes for guests i.e. mak and abah

UKM Souvenir. A pashmina with UKM logo on it. I dont wear pashmina so still thinking what to do with this.

And lastly... TADAAAAAAAAA!!

My costume to be The Orangers!! =) Official color for Fpend.

Mom said: Terangnyerrrrrr jubah korang!! @.@

And after that, mom and I headed to Sogo and later to Ikea. I had wonderful trip with family. Ceh ayat macam karangan budak sekolah =D

Who's Laughing Now - Jessie J

I've always loved Jessie. I mean her songs because most of the time I can relate to the messages in the songs like Price Tag and Nobody's Perfect. And now I'm sooo indulged in her latest (latest ke?) piece which is Who's laughing now. Can you relate? =)

The little girl in the video is sooooooooooooo cute. Almost look like Jessie, the younger version la...

Cute cute cuteness!!

Enjoice

Mummy they call me names
They wouldn't let me play
I'd run home, sit and cry almost everyday
'Hey Jessica, you look like an alien
With green skin you don't fit in this playpen'
Well they pull my hair
They took away my chair
I keep it in and pretend that I didn't care
'Hey Jessica, you're so funny
You've got teeth just like Bugs bunny'

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Cos I'm in L.A
You think I've made my fame
If it makes us friends
When you only really know my name
'Oh Jessie, we knew you could make it
I've got a track and I'd love you to take it'
So now because I'm signed
You think my pockets lined
4 years now and I'm still waiting in the line
'Oh Jessie, I saw you on youtube
I tagged old photos from when we was at school'

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

Jessie
She broke out of the box
Swallowed your prideqw
You got that ego cough
Let the haters hate
You're like way too late
See I got a message from you
'Hola, I'm proud of you'
'Oh my god babe your voice is like wow!'
My reply: Who's laughing now

Oh, so you think you know me now
Have you forgotten how
You would make me feel
When you drag my spirit down
But thank you for the pain
It made me raise my game
And I'm still rising, I'm still rising
Yeah

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now

So make your jokes
Go for broke
Blow your smoke
You're not alone
But who's laughing now
But who's laughing now
So raise the bar
Hit me hard
Play your cards
Be a star
But who's laughing now

Emo day

I'm very emotional today. Bite me.

I'm angry at everyone, everything.

I feel all the stress are too overwhelming for me, especially right now.

I fail to keep the positive attitude today as financial issues have started to wear me down.

But I guess there are many more people out there whose conditions are a lot more worst than me. Should be thankful right?



Getting married or doing preparation for kenduri is very stressful. I dunno how some people survive the process.


Why return ticket to Sibu is freakin' expensive?

My heart is shattering again.i feel like shutting the world around me and embark on my slumberland journey. Why must they play us this long? Why must those white men get more attention than us?

Please.

Under the weather

Today started off just fine at 5am as I woke up early for sahur. After Subuh prayer, which was around 6.15 am, my tummy started growling. I thought it's due to wind/ bowel movements since I too much for buka last night.

At 7 am, I already went in and out the toilet for a couple of times. Then off I went to sleep. At 9 am, I was awaken by this sudden urge to poop. So I dragged my sleepy head to the toilet and 'invested' some. Went back to the bad to sleep but was stopped with the uneasiness and again ran to the bathroom to do business.

That's when my cherry berry started. At 6.30pm (right now) I've lost count of how many times I've been in and out the toilet. and my back (you know which part) hurts real bad!!!!!!!!!

The whole day I spent time thinking what might have caused this. But no clue since I ate what my family ate and non of them have the same illness like me. Untilllll.....

at 3pm I was freakin' hungry so I grabbed Tuna spread for the fridge and the bread. I took one slice of bread and guess what? I see roachessssssssssss! Like cockroach but the size of rice. Very small. There were 2 of them. Then I dig deeper into the plastic and ewwww...there are many many of them. Yuckss

I ate those bread for sahur!!!

And off they went into the dustbin. Damn you roaches! I think they are digging my belly. May you rote in hidrocloric acid.

*off to toilet.

Daaa~
