Pray, Save and Help Gaza

My heart is breaking for Palestine.

I was browing thru my Facebook and saw a friend posted a compiled footage of the attack on Gaza. Usually i cant watch or see pictures of casualties. But this was different.

I didnt get all eerie seeing a man carrying a small child from the rubble. Eventhough all that was left was his/her badly injured head and hair. It just bought tears to my eyes. My feeling was mixed. I felt sad but at the same time hatred.

What happen in Gaza or in some parts of the world is not all about religion. It's about humanity. I cant believe that some people in Malaysia couldnt care less what's going on in Gaza since they are not religion-related.

I hope these people open up their eyes widely and look at the footages and pictures of the attack on innocent civillians. If this happens to your family, what would you do?

I plead to all Malaysian and the rest of the world,

Ya Allah, please save our brothers and sisters in Gaza.

Blueberry Cream Cheese Muffin

When Nigella Lawson said - 'When i'm in the kitchen, i'm happy' - boy, was she true. After some turmoil going on in my life, i thought i must bake to get me going physically. Of course one must solat and doa to Allah for strength.

So i head to the store (Hero) and bought some of baking supply. Just to keep me occupied for a few days. On saturday, i'll be baking a cake to celebrate Girls Night Out with my BFFs.

Recipe from Rima of Bisousatoi. Made these lovely cause i still have some blueberries left in the fridge. Best served warm with Darjeeling tea. Superb!

The Hardest Words To Say Is Thank You

Ok, today i'm gonna ramble bout manners (adab). This posting is not to pin point any individual, just as a reference so we dont make the same mistakes again.

Let start by saying Thank You (Terima Kasih). Why, susah sangat ke nak sebut. The words are too precious for people nowdays.

You open a door for people, they just swift by you without saying Thank You. As if the word Thank You will make them lose money.

Another good example, when someone takes care of your kids, instead of saying Thank You, you will question why is your kids is like this and that. People sacrifice their time to look after your kids while you are in lala land. If that person was my son/daughter, i will surely give a good slap on the face.

Enough said, so next time, if someone were to do good or bad to you, all you have to do is say Thank You.

Thank You

Banana Chocolate Cake

Part 3 - Primary School Registration

Just heard a news from a friend. Semalam ada parent from my area serang JPWPKL. Minta tukar sekolah. Just because kena gertak sikit, terus JPWPKL tukar sekolah.

Yg kita ni datang dgn cara baik kena layanan buruk. Memang tak adil betul. So, if nak berurusan with them, must be an Incredible Hulk dulu. This is not the right way. Not even close to be islamic.

Since today is Friday and am sure those people working in JPWPKL takkan layan calls, so i email to the Ketua Unit Sekolah Rendah. On Monday, will call the Jabatan, tak pun tebalkan muka lg and datang sana. Serang!

What will it be?!?

Help! I'm in a dilema. I cant decide. This is so unfair.

You guys might be wondering what on earth am i blabbering about. You see, end of this month, there is a very important day in history. To pay tribute on that day, i wanted to bake a very special cake.

Here are the options:
1 . Triple Chocolate Caramel Cake with Chocolate Ganache

2. Devil Food Chocolate Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Chocolate Ganache

3.Banana Chocolate Chunk Cake with Dulce de Leche Cream Cheese Frosting

Oh, if you guys are wondering what's us so historic about that day, it's my birthday! Hehe.

I think i'll just bake all 3. Pengsan!

Bihun Tauco Mat Gebu

For dinner, i really dont know what to cook. It was 6.30pm when i decided to visit Mat Gebu's blog. And there it was, an eye opener when Mat Gebu posted the recipe.

Going thru the ingredients, i know i have all of it in my kitchen. Sungguh berinspirasi untuk masak. Taste wise - sedap!

Part 2 - Primary School Registration

Here we go again.

Today we went to JPWPKL at Jalan Duta. Dgn harapan yg tinggi, semoga dapat la my son transfer to the school which is nearer to my home.

After our morning hassle, we reached our destination at 11.00am. Got our queue number and waited. The lady officer in charge (Officer#1) was attending a chinese gentleman who wants to register his son/ daughter to government school. I noticed that the gentleman was not well verse in Bahasa. And then came another lady officer (Officer#2) and burst out a rude question, she asked which country did the gentleman receive his formal education. The gentleman answered in Malaysia. Dgn nada yg sombong, she told him that if he was schooling in Malaysia, he should understand what is written in that paper.

I cant believe what i just heard, unbelievable! Come on lady, you are a government officer. Kerajaan dok sibuk terapkan everyone to amalkan nilai2 yg murni. What happened here langsung tak murni. Plus you are a muslim! We were taught to respect other people, tak kira bangsa, agama or darjat. Malu malu.

Then it was our turn. I prayed that Officer#2 will not be there to attend us. But to our dismay, she was there. Blahhhh. So, we apply for a transfer but Officer#1 told us to wait till next year if we wanted to transfer. We then tried to our luck how we can get it done immediately. Officer#1 told us, we have wait next year, if there's a place, a transfer would be possible. But as for now, my son need to attend the appointed school. And to make things worst, Officer#2 told us, even if your house is just beside the school, you wont get a transfer if the school quota is full.

Oh my, now i'm very doubtful about how the allocation are being made. Do we have to be a VIP to get to a prefered school? I mean i am applying for a transfer simply because it's nearer.

Dengan tangan yang kosong kami pulang kehampaan. Oh well, we believe there's a rainbow after a rain, right (ayat nak sedapkan hati). All we need to do is relax and wait next year.

Since i'm not satisfied with what Officer#2 had just said to us, i lodged a complain thru JPWPKL's portal. Typical me but hey, we have our rights, right?

November Rain

It's time of the year, here in Malaysia where we will experience the 'Musim Tengkujuh'. Meaning rain rain and more rain. Resulting to flood.

With this kinda weather, our tummy will be rumbling to heat up the body. So, it's time to hit the net and look for an easy and quick recipe.

I decided to make pizza since i still have a pack if shredded mozarella cheese in the fridge. It's pizza time!
