Teringatkan arwah..

This few nights, Cip berada dalam keadaan 'down' gitew.. Everytime Cip nak tido Cip teringat akan arwah ibu Cip. hurmm...Setakat ni, Cip boleh dah terima hakikat arwah dah tak da lagi. Cuma ada masa-masa yang tertentu buat Cip terkenang kenang akan arwah.. Macam tak percaya arwah dah takda. Almost 3 years now. 

Disebabkan arwah dulu keje shift dan Cip jarang dapat jumpa arwah dihari-hari biasa, maka terbawak-bawak sampai sekarang. Sebab adakalanya Cip rasa arwah bukan tak da lagi dalam dunia ni tapi arwah pegi kerja. Bila teringatkan arwah, macam tu la yang Cip rasa.. 

Lepas tu ingatan Cip akan kembali kepada hari dimana arwah dikebumikan. Sumpah demi Allah, Tiada setitik air mata yang jatuh daripada pertama kali mendengar akan pemergiaan arwah sehinggalah selepas arwah dikebumikan. Hari yang kedua, Cip dan adik-adik kembali ke rumah arwah sebab kami buntu tak tahu nak buat ape di kampung. Jadi kami balik kerumah arwah. Masa tu lah baru Cip sentap. Bila Cip duduk berseorangan dalam bilik depan, baru Cip menangis sebab Cip baru realize yang Cip dah takda ibu lagi. Cip dan adik-adik officially anak-anak yatim. 

So, perasaan ini lah yang datang menghantui every once in a year pada Cip. No wonder. Bulan nih, merupakan bulan arwah pergi menghadap Illahi. 

Waahhh.. bertambah sedih ni nampaknya. Al-fatihah untuk arwah.. Cip teringat kat arwah.. Mcm mana nak gambar kan perasaan ketiadaan seorang yang dipanggil ibu tu, tak tahu Cip nak describekan.. Bila dia dah tak da, baru kite tahu kesedihannya bagaimana.. 

French Toast with scramble egg.

Hellu... morning.. morning... Dalam bahase omputihnye French Toast. Tapi dalam Bahasa Malaysianye ialah roti telur.. Sangat-sangat senang serta sangat-sangat lazat untuk membuatnya.. 

Telur merupakan bahan yang paling utama. Dua biji telur buleh dapat 6 keping french toast.

Then roti. Ikut suka la nak pakai roti apa sekalipun. If diet, guna roti wholemeal atau wholegrain kay..

Madu dan sedikit susu segar. Mix them all together.

Rendam roti tu then gorengkan dalam non-stick frying pan yang telah di panaskan bersama 1/3 tbs of margarine dengan api yang perlahan yee.. Cook each side lebih kurang 2 1/2 minutes. Then buleh angkat. Terpulang nak makan pakai jem roti ke, maple syrup ke, peanut butter ke. Ikut suke la.. Nak makan pakai susu pekat manis pun boley... 

Selamat menjamu selera..

Western

This few days, husband Cip duk request nak makan beef steak. Dah jemu makan nasi le tu. Sometimes, Cip pun dah ilang idea nak masak ape. Cip nih makan aje ape yang husband Cip makan. So, laju-laju Cip suruh husband Cip beli barang-barang nak masak beef steak. Hasilnya... Tadaaaa...

Buleh lah kan? Masa dulu-dulu, nak makan gini, kene pi makan kat luar je gayanya. Sekarang banyak masa on hand so belajar pun thru internet. Resepi-resepi banyak Cip ambik dari Mr Google then Cip olah sana-sini mengikut keseleraan Cip. Tapi Cip paling suke try resepi dari AFC. Disebabkan tengok AFC tu la Cip rajin nak try buat makanan western nih. Rupenye, tak la sesusah mana. Ghenyah je la sikit...

So hari ni bila tanya husband Cip nak makan ape, dia kata nak makan spaghetti.. Takkan nak lunch spaghetti je kan? So Cip tambah la a few other food here and there. Hasilnya...

If nak try buat mcm ni, then maybe you can. Cip share la ikut resepi Cip sendiri ek.. Tak perlu ikut sebijik-sebijik pun. kut selera je nak buat mcm mana.. Asalkan jadik and buleh makan cukuplah kan..? Okay so here we go.. Let's start with the ingredient:

Rib eye steak (Daging batang pinang = The juiciest part of a cow.)

*Cip guna Australian beef sebab lebih sedap. Kalau guna local beef, rasa dia biasa-biasa je.

1. Marinate rib eye steak ni dengan black pepper, garam, sos tiram, kicap & black pepper sauce. Biarkan selama 1/2 jam ke satu jam. *Cip guna black pepper sauce brand life.

2. Panaskan non-stick pan & pour 2 tbs of olive oil.*Api kecik je. Hangit pulak nanti.

3. Goreng rib eye tu 3 minutes each side. *Terpulanglah timing tu. Kalau nak lebih well-done maybe leh leave on steak tu lama sikit.

4. Nampak steak dh masak boleh angkat dan letak atas pinggan. 

Gravy steak. Cip serious tak tahu rupenye senang je nak buat gravy.. Dulu la.. Sekarang dah tau.. Lepas goreng steak tadi, jgn basuh dulu non-stick pan tu. Dengan api yang perlahan, campurkan satu sudu besar marjerin bersama 1-2 sudu besar tepung gandum. Kacau sehingga sebati. Masukkan stok ayam dalam setengah cawan. Kacau lagi sehingga sebati. Hat nih, terpulang la. Kalau nak banyak, lebihkan lah bahan-bahan tadi. Stok ayam tu Cip guna kiub pati ayam je. Bila dah sebati semuanya, campurkan sedikir black pepper dan black peper sauce. Jangan lupa untuk rasa. Tak cukup, tambah. Jangan tawar, udah le..

Beralih kepada spaghetti pulak.

Masak air dalam periuk besar sehingga air tu mendidih. Sedikit garam, kemudian masukkan spaghetti. Dalam 10min mcm tu the spaghetti should be done. Angkat dan toskan spaghetti tu. Bila dah kering buleh angkat dan letak dalam pinggan.

As for spaghetti sauce, Cip pakai Kimball punya je. Cip tuang dalam periuk, renehkan then Cip masukkan daging kisar yang Cip telah rebus dan cincang-cincang. 

Western food nih tak lengkap kalau tak dek fibre. The only fibre I can get my hands on is corn. Honey corn. Jagung madu nih, makan raw macam tu pun dah sedap. So, Cip sekadar rebus dalam 1 minit je. Rebus lama sangat hilang manis dia. Oh ye jangan lupe letak secubit garam dalam air rebusan tadi.. Baru la kick.

So everything is done.. done.. and done.. Senangan? Now, hidangkan dan hiaskan mengikut citarasa. Jum makan... Bismillah.. Jemput ye.. :D

Life like this

Have you ever had one of those days where you feel so dark inside and you don't want to get out of bed or practically just have to drag yourself out of your gloomy senses? Well, guess what? I'm having one. Right now.

It is not 'bout being lazy but it is something like having one big heavy rock, strapped on your back and you can't get up. Even if you're trying the best you can. It seems like it's pulling and pulling you into the dark.. ~big sigh~

Maybe it is because of hormone or whatever. I don't know. All I know is that I just want to stay in bed till I can feel myself wanting to get up.

I've felt this way before but I don't remember when. A long time ago I guess. This remind me of what I usually do to cheer myself up. I will go and get myself one big giant of ToffeeNut Latte at Starbucks. I was craving it for years and I always bought it whenever I felt like this (by always, I mean everyday). However, this drinks only available during the Xmas month. Since last year, it doesn't taste the same as I tasted it a couple of years ago. 

I keep on asking myself "What do I want?" whenever I felt like this and the only think I can think of at this very moment is... I want to get away. Out of Malaysia if I can.. 

Well, all of that is the gloomy me. I am okay now. I feel much more better. No. I feel great. I feel so alive. This morning was a battle for me to even step out of the house but when I finally done with my class, I can see that I am doing so much better. So, whenever you are feeling the way I feel this morning, getting away may not be the ONLY solution you see..Sharing the knowledge you have with others, helps you to feel much better about yourself.. Today's class was awesome. Even though most of the student didn't come but the class went great. The best thing is that I enjoyed myself. 

My day doesn't end there.. It makes the day so much better when me and my husband went to Ayah's kebun. Such a refreshing feeling. We cleaned all the dried leaves and the kebun now is so serene if you ask me.. We're planning to make a homestay out of the house in that kebun. It is still in the planning. 

What a day for me..  

Life isn't about finding yourself but creating yourself.

Love what you do...

Dah lama Cip tak make-upkan someone. Gian tau. So, Cip sekadar make-up diri sendiri. Student pun pelik lah tengok cikgu depa nih bergaya semacam.. Malu pulak Cip kengkadang tu bila masuk kelas.. 

However a month ago, Cip dapat msg daripada client Cip yang kawin early this year. Dia bilang yang adik dia nak kawin end of this month and dia mintak Cip make-upkan adik dia. Berpikir panjang jugak Cip sebab dia tak tahu yang Cip dah pindah Kedah.. So Cip mintak dia bagi Cip few days untuk fikir plus nak bincang dengan suami Cip. Cip suruh dia carik other people jugak at the same time sebab in case Cip kata tak boleh ke ape ke kan.. 

Suami Cip bagi support untuk go and do it. Cip pulak serba salah sebab Cip takut tetiba je Cip ada urusan lain on that day. But since Suami dah bagi green light, so Cip pun said Yes pada dia. Therefore, end of this month Cip will be in KL doing her sister's make up. 

Client Cip hat ni is very special to me. I don't know why. But Cip sangat suka berurusan dengan dia and because of that Cip tak sampai hati nak charge dia extra even tho Cip is coming all the way from Kedah. 

Smokey eyes - Feymes...

Few weeks ago, ada this one person email Cip tanya pasal price untuk make-up nikah. So Cip pun habaq la kat dia price nye begitu dan begini... Dia reply satu je "mahal".. Aiyooo... Kalau macam tu pun mahal, make up sendiri ler. Tak keluar duit satu sen pun. Harga yang Cip bagi tu pun actually standard price dah tu plus Cip tak charge transport. Walhal dia duk all the way in Butterworth. Cip tak kisah lah nak turun even ke Penang Island sekalipun because this is what I love to do. 

Cip bukan takat make up then blah. Cip jaga pengantin ni sometimes sebab ada di kalangan mereka yang tak dak sapa tolong teman. Pengapit pun tak dak. So at times, secara tak langsung Cip pulak yang jadik pengapit bidan terjun. Punya kesian kat pengantin kengkadang tu. Kita tolong pegang kain depa, pakaikan kasut depa, ingatkan depa senyum, tolong tangkapkan gambaq depa dengan kengawan.. The funny thing is that, ada pernah sekali tu Cip follow client Cip pi masjid sekali masa dia nikah, family dia buleh lupa bawak barang-barang hantaran. The best part is, family dia buleh ingat Cip yang bawak barang-barang hantaran tu.. Pelik kan?? I am nobody.. Huhuhu... Lawak betul.

So, this coming make-up event sangat-sangat mengujakan Cip. Weeeheee... *Not just that. we'll be seeing our toek.. Wouuhuuuu!!!

REVIEW; Transformers - Dark of the Moon

In Short, I would definitely be waiting for the dvd bluray is on the market...

Ada yang tak berapa puas hati dengan cerita transformers kali ini. Well, from Cip punye perspective, it is maybe because dengan ketiadaan Megan Fox. Hahahaa.. Nak buat macam mana kan. She told the reporter that Michael Bay is like Hitler on the set. So... serve you right lah.. Terusan aje kene fired dengan Steven Spielberg.

Transformers kali ni agak menjurus ke masa hadapan. Therefore, kalau daya imaginasi yang kurang kuat errmmm.. maknanye, agak susah la nak LIKE cerita dia. Tambahan, there's alot of robot Decepticon yang diperkenalkan, sampaikan kelihatan kaum autobot kelihatan sangatlah minor. Kesian autobot.

Regarding pengganti Megan Fox pulak si Rosie Hutingten-Whitely she is so damn hot untuk digandingkan bersama dengan Shia Lebuff.. Mcm a bit weird. She look so much like a model. Dalam movie tu la.. So part tu susah nak percaya...

Yang selebihnya pergaduhan antara autobot dan decepticon, is so damn cool... 2 jam 45 minute pulak tu.. Cool habes...

Yeay!!! Sudah ampat tauunn!!

Hari ni umur Ues genap 4 tahun. Yeay!! Ayah dgn Nde gembira untuk Ues sebab Ues dah makin besar. Everyone here in Kedah semua wish Happy Birthday dekat Ues... Ayah dgn Nde tak dapat nak pegi jumpa Ues sebab Nde ade class. Baru 2nd class so Nde tak boleh nak cancel. Sorry sangat. 

Kita kan dah buat pre-celebration masa hari tu.. Ingat lagi tak? Hehehe..

Tak lupa jugak kat Zikri kan? Zikri pun share the same birth date dengan Ues. Happy birthday to both of you. Make your daddys and your mommas proud.. 

You are the most important thing in this world. You are the reason we live.. We love you Ues.. So much.. 

Happy 4th Birthday!!
