Hikayat Cuti-cuti Malaysia - Part 1

Bila cuti sekolah hampir menjelang, menjadi satu tekanan kepada yours truly dan suami untuk menentukan arah tujuan percutian. Percutian sempena cuti sekolah memang menjadi kemestian untuk anak-anak. Memang tak dapat dinafikan tempat yang menjadi pilihan adalah amat terhad kerana hanya ada a few places sahaja yang menjadi pujaan hati. Di tambah lagi, taking into consideration a few factors; contohnya cuaca, nak ada swimming pool lah dan macam-macam lagi. Nak pergi Penang, the other half tak favor atas alasan macam gi KL je, nak gi highlands tengah hujan takut landslide. Last-last we all decide tempat biasa, Cherating. Langkawi, baru sangat pergi, pas tu dah banyak kali pergi lak tu. Dah habis satu Langkawi kami teroka. In fact, nak jadi tourist guide Langkawi pun kami boleh.

Makanya, off we go to Cherating. Duduk kat as usual, Legend Cherating. Perjalanan memang akan dimulakan sebelah pagi. This is to ensure that we arrive at Temerloh roughly around 12 noon for our lunch.


From MRR2 approaching Karak Highway

Ingat nak singgah Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, unfortunately session with elephant starts at 2 pm, so we decide to call it off. Yeahh.. maybe next time kids.


Exit Lanchang to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary

Proceed with our journey to our next pit stop, Temerloh. Needless to say, beautiful and green scenery along the journey takes our breath away. Anyway, approximately around 11.30 am, we have reached at Temerloh exit.


Exit to Temerloh.

Lepas tu, sebaik sahaja keluar Plaza Tol Temerloh, you must make a left turn at the traffic light.



Sebut saja Temerloh, mesti teringat ikan patin. Sebab tu, pekan Temerloh terkenal dengan jolokan Bandar Ikan Patin. Perjalanan ke Pantai Timur tanpa singgah makan tengahari di Temerloh adalah sangat rugi. Di kiri kanan jalan sepanjang perjalanan ke pekan Temerloh dipenuhi dengan orang-orang menjual ikan patin samada yang dibela dalam sangkar ataupun yang ditangkap dari Sungai Pahang kerana pekan Temerloh ni terletak berdekatan dengan Sungai Pahang. Tempat makan yang kami nak pergi ni adalah restoran ikan patin yang sangat terkenal di pekan Temerloh ni. In fact dah berapa kali dapat review kat newspaper, magazine and some bloggers. Program Jalan-jalan Cari Makan pun dah sampai kat sini.

Anyway, I shall adjourn here. Keep reading !!!!

3rd Batch

Salam semua

Hari ni I've placed another USANA order untuk diri sendiri dan untuk a few people including my beloved mak. Period yours truly untuk bulan ni (coz this is my period after consuming USANA for the past 1 month), Alhamdulillah ada improvement. Walaupun yours truly tidak menghadapi masalah period irregular or what so ever, tetapi semenjak keguguran tahun lepas, I feel that my period is not like what I use to have. Sendiri boleh rasa.


On another note, my husband semenjak ambik USANA ni feels that his right ankle inflammation getting much much better, Alhamdulillah.

Another USANA Story

Salam semua

As usual, I text my niece asking her latest update after taking USANA Nutrimeal almost a week now.

Me : Salam Sha ! Ada perubahan tak lepas amik Nutrimeal ?

Sha : Wa'alaikumussalam Mak Cu ! Rasa nak mengunyah dah kurang. Kalau tak pepagi or after lunch rasa sleepy tapi lepas amik Nutrimeal memang hilang terus.

Alhamdulillah, sharing is caring.
Interested, do email me at mrsjai70@gmail.com

Mari membuat jus sendiri

Salam semua

Saturday and Sunday, Pasar BBBangi Seksyen 1
Sesiapa yang nak produk segar dari kampung silalah ke sini. Pucuk ubi, daun meranti, pucuk betik, cili api, terung kampung, segala jenis ubi dan yang paling menarik minat yours truly adalah hibiscus sabdariffa atau yang biasa kita dengar bunga roselle. Sekilo RM6. I'll make sure sampai kat pasar tu before 8 o'clock sebab nanti putih mata.

Roselle ni pulak ada musimnya. So sekarang ni tengah banyak pulak. So tiap-tiap minggu membeli untuk dibuat jus.

Info from http://en.wikipedia.org/

Hibiscus, specifically Roselle, has been used in folk medicine as a diuretic, mild laxative, and treatment for cardiac and nerve diseases and cancer. Roselle calyces are harvested fresh to produce pro-health drink due to high contents of vitamin C and anthocyanins. Many parts of the plant are also claimed to have various medicinal values. They have been used for such purposes ranging from Mexico through Africa and India to Thailand. Roselle is associated with traditional medicine and is reported to be used as treatment for several diseases such as hypertension and urinary tract infections.

So, macamana nak buat sendiri jus roselle ni ? Senang aje.

1 kilo roselle



1 kg gula pasir
3 liter air

Cara membuat :

Biji roselle yang terletak di tengah-tengah kelopak dikeluarkan dan bunga tu di potong kecil-kecil.


Biji roselle di tengah-tengah kelopak



Basuh dengan air dan ditoskan. Masukkan roselle tersebut ke dalam periuk yang berisi air di atas. Bila dah mula didih, masukkan gula. Masak sehingga bunga roselle menjadi lembut serta sedikit hancur dan tutupkan api setelah jus menjadi sedikit pekat. Biarkan sejuk dan baki bunga roselle tadi boleh diambil dan diblendkan sehingga hancur dan dicampur semula ke dalam jus tadi.

Tadaa ... my home made roselle juice ready to drink.

My USANA Story

Salam people !!!

Me and hubby been consuming USANA (Essential & Proflavanol) for approximately 3 weeks now. Alhamdulillah, we feel a lot better now. Deep sleep during nite time and wake-up in the morning feeling good. As time goes by, I can feel that my mental and physical health show some improvement.

I did receive SMS from my niece saying, " Salam Makcu ! Nutrimeal tu Sha minum replace breakfast, so far memang kenyang sampai lunch lah, tak macam yang sebelum ni Sha ambik %??$@# ". Sha is trying to get back her ideal weight and most important, to conceive, Insyaallah.

My New Body Care Regime

Salam ukhwah to all ...

Kali ni nak cite tentang my new body care regime. Went to Mid Valley recently and entah macamana tersinggah, I repeat, tersinggah Loccitane. They were having some promotions especially to membership card holder. And since yours truly ni adalah pemegang Loccitane membership card holder, maka tanpa disedari kedua-dua kaki ini melangkah masuk.






I bought Almond Range Body Care which consist of Almond Exfoliating and Smoothing Delicious Paste. It offers gentle yet effective exfoliation of the entire body. Recommended to use twice a week.



Next step to use Almond Shower Oil, rich in almond oil and foams when in contact with water. It softens and leaves a light satin-like veil on the skin.



And last but not least, the most favourite among this range and their best seller, Almond Firming and Smoothing Milk Concentrate. It smells so so so nice and delicious. It absorbs into skin right away and mosturizes. Most important, it helps to firm up your thigh, stomach and bust.



I've been using it for the past 3 days and honestly, I can feel the difference.
Siapa tak nak cantik ooooi !!!!!! So, why wait, go and get them.

Abaya Part 2

Salam to all.

Ingat tak this entry ?

So, tanpa niat dan perasaan takbur serta bongkak, presenting my newly touch-up abaya yang tak seberapa ini .....









Nothing extravaganza tapi yang penting, yours truly suka and confidently fit in.

It's Finally Arrived

Alhamdulillah, after contemplating for quite sometime, I finally made my decision to use the product as well as become its member. May Allah grant my wishes for better health, Insyaallah.

Why I choose USANA ? Because it is listed in the physicians desk reference in USA, British Pharmacopia and various MIMs.



I'm taking Essential and Proflavanol. Essential comes with a bottle of Antioxidant and Multivitamins. It provides a broad range of essential vitamins and minerals, antioxidants and other micronutrient.

Proflavanol contains high concentrations of grape seed extract (30 mg in each tablet) and other natural antioxidants. It supports the body's fight against free-radical damage with powerful free-radical scavengers.

Hadis : Usamah bin Syuraik

"Aku berada di sisi Rasulullah, tiba-tiba datanglah beberapa orang Arab Badwi dan mereka berkata, "Ya Rasulullah adakah kami diizinkan berubat ?"

Rasulullah berkata, " Wahai hamba-hamba Allah, berubatlah kerana sesungguhnya Allah tidak meletakkan sesuatu penyakit melainkan Allah meletakkan ubat baginya kecuali satu sahaja ! "

Mereka bertanya, " Apakah itu Ya Rasulullah ?
Nabi Muhammad s.a.w berkata " Penyakit tua "

Hadis ini diceritakan oleh Imam Bukhari, Ahmad, Abu Daud, Ibn Majah, An Nasai dan Tarmidzi.

Renung-renungkanlah.
Have a nice day !!!

ABAYA

Happy Ramadan to all !!!
May Allah bless us and guide us to His path, Ameen ....

Entahlah, I feel like wearing jubah/abaya raya ni. Tetapi yours truly ni hanya minat abaya hitam Arab sahaja which I think, very elegant. I have visited some online shops that sell this kind of abaya. Among my favourites are :

theabayasouq.com

This online shop selling abayas from Dubai.

AND



This online shop selling abayas from Saudi Arabia.

Yours truly pun ada jengah-jengah kedai yang jual abaya Arab antaranya Iran Shop kat Ampang Park tapi malangnya, harganya way up high. Last-last ajak husband gi Sri Munawwarah kat TTDI, manalah tau kot-kot ada abaya Arab sempena this coming Eid nanti. Yup !! I can always count on my instinct. Memang ada, their own signature design. Dan yang penting not even RM200 dan kainnya berkualiti. So apa lagi, yours truly pun rembat satu. Since the design is very simple, I send the abaya to Jue to add some maniks and labucis sana-sini. Once dah siap nanti, yours truly akan tayang-tayang kan kat sini ( Mulalah tu, dah ada unsur-unsur riak ni ).

Muneera's Birthday

19 June, Friday - Muneera's 7th birthday. I know, I know some of you might wonder why I only upload the entry today. FYI guys, I couldn't locate all the photos during Muneera's birthday but somehow yesterday, while I was browsing some old folders, I accidently bumped into these photos I've been looking for.

Anyway, she asked for a Barbie Doll cake. My husband and I, almaklumlah, caring and loving parent; trying our best to fulfil her wish. So, I ordered the cake from Zana. Sapa-sapa yang nak tempah cake, any types of cake, bolehlah contact Zana. She's very helpful and I enjoy dealing with her. Cake Zana pun sedap.

Her birthday cake


What does matter is actually her smiles and the look in her eyes the moment she saw the cake. Its priceless ..........

Hilman Syafie's 11th Birthday

The Cake


His birthday wish

31 July, Friday - We celebrated Hilman's 11th birthday. Ordered Bakugan theme birthday cake from Zana. Marble cheese brownies.
Super freaking delicious.
It was just a small birthday bash for Hilman.
Ayah, Ibu, Aisyah and Muneera love you soooo much.

BLUE ..................

Don't get me wrong guys. Bukan blue film, blue lagoon or what so ever. Its just that what range of blue color should I choose for this coming raya theme. Electric blue ke ( ada ke yang ni, macam color kereta je ), turqoise blue ke, ocean blue ke or etc.

Any suggestion ????????????

Lama tak update .....

Been quite busy lately, kononnye, besides my daily routine office work, for the past few weeks, I was fully occupied with the wedding ceremony of my nephew and engagement of my niece. Will update on it some other time. As for now, since lama tak update blog yang dah berlumut ni, I think what I'm gonna show you guys, its just for the sake of updating this blog. Presenting ........

Sukeee sangat beli FM ni whenever gi abroad or kirim orang. Takdelah banyak mane. But those are some of them. Nak letak sume, macam malas lak. I'm sure a lot of people out there shares the same hobby too. Biasalah gi tempat orang mesti beli either FM, postcard or decoration plate tu. Nak tunjuk yang kita dah sampai kat tempat tu. Anyway, I'll blog about my postcard and decoration plate collection some other time.

Have a nice day people ...

Couple ... from my boy point of view

While we were window shopping, my hubby asked HS a question while giving him a sign to glance at a teenager couple passing by.

Hubby : Hilman kalau dah besar nanti, nak ke couple-couple macam tu ?

HS : Tak naklah ayah. Itu tak ikut ta'aruf. Hilman nak ikut ta'aruf.

Alhamdulillah, didoakan menjadi anak yang soleh .... AMIN

Have a nice weekend people.

Tribute To Michael Jackson

MJ's songs always cherish my life ever since my childhood.
My all time favourite songs are Ben ( most favourite ), One Day In Your Life, Don't Stop Till You Get Enough, I'll Be There, The Way You Make Me Feel, You're Not Alone and many more.
I would say, he is the best King Of Pop.
You should listen to this song, its really heart touching.
My condolence goes out to his children.

ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE ( MICHAEL JACKSON )
Lyric from http://www.lyrics007.com

One day in your life
you'll remember a place
Someone's touching your face
You'll come back and you'll look around you

One day in your life
You'll remember the love you found here
You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always waiting
For the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh...)

You'll remember me somehow
Though you don't need me now
I will stay in your heart
And when things fall apart
You'll remember one day...

One day in your life
When you find that you're always longing
for the love we used to share
Just call my name
And I'll be there

(Ohh...)

Soalan Ramalan

I received this question during my usual casual conversation with my son.

HS : Ibu, masa kita kat dalam kubur nanti, bila malaikat tanya kita soalan, soalan tu dalam Bahasa Melayu ke atau Bahasa Arab ?

Me : ?#@$%?*@!!!

Have a nice day people .......

The Shopaholic

Ingat lagi when my boss told me that her kind of mental therapy is S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G.

Oh boy! She just loves shopping handbags, watches, accessories. Whenever she goes abroad, besides her busy scheduled she will try all her might to squeeze her time for her favourite activity.

No wonder Sophie Kinsella comes up with the Shopaholic sequel. Coz there's a lot of Becky Bloomwood out there ( Termasuk lah yours truly )

I just love Becky Bloomwood, the shopaholic and I've read all the books in the sequel. I would recommend you guys to read them in the correct order ( pls refer to the above pics ).

Can't wait to watch the movie expected to release this coming February.
