Exam : teori ikan kecik ikan besar

Don't know la if I've posted this already. Our family contractor, was a man with wisdom. He bought lottery ticket at least once a week. That has been going on for more than 15 years. He would spend his one day salary around RM150 to buy the ticket. Sebab, kalau tak beli dia susah hati katanya. Bayangkan for 15 years, 150 per week, if he had invested in gold, he would be even richer lah!

What's interesting was not the fact that he loves lottery, but his spirit. I quote, "Itu ikan belum besak (besar) lagi oh... nanti sudah besak ah mesti kena punya hooooo". translated : sekarang memang tak kena lagi nombor dia, tapi one day, he knows he's gonna hit jackpot - because he has invested so much in it. He knows his chances are so little, buy buying those tickets let him be at peace from week to week. 

Exam : teori ikan kecik ikan besar.

Faham tak kaitan yang cuba aku bawak ni? Maksudnya, jom kita be addicted to something, study contohnya (or anything else you want to stick to) sampai kita jadi macam beliau. Bila tak buat kita rasa tak senang hati. Tapi soal perolehan? Kalau study study study tapi tak dapat jugak result tinggi - mungkin kita kena invest banyak lagi, or mungkin nombor kita tikam tak kena (cara kita study tak betul). Ada banyak benda dalam hidup ni kita tak nampak hasilnya immediately. Contohnya amalan soleh. Kita tak nampak direct pahala tu, tapi yakinlah, "ikan besar" menanti kita di hujung sana. Tapi kalau kita tak invest? Ikan bilis pun takde nak mendapatnye... 

dalam banyak-banyak wang emas, yang ni i mengidam sangat ni...

Cerekarama: Jujur Aku Dayus

Cerekarama: Jujur Aku Dayus [WATCH ONLINE]




Ok this week cerekarama yang hangat diperkatakan tak lain tak bukan "Jujur Aku Dayus" yang menampilkan Nora Danish, Beto Qusyairi dan Zul Arifin dua-tiga babak kan. Mula-mula tak berminat pun nak tengok sebab hero pun tak berapa kenal kan, tapi akibat no other option (I really want to see Dakwah Muharram by Erma - lead Aqasha oiiiii!) tengok je la kan. Awal-awal macam kusut-kusut sikit sebab tertanya-tanya what's his problem laki ni? Belum kira lagi hati ni dah terkumat kamit dah nak buat status fire perempuan yang bersifat seperti watak Aishah by Irma Hasmie, nasib baik tak hambur lagi...hehe..

Ok, so these are few things worth mentioning about lessons learnt.

Firstly, this is why Islam had given us the outline regarding how to conduct relationship with opposing gender. One thing that I dislike the most bila pergi breakfast with abah makan capati, is when I see colleagues yang pergi breakfast sama-sama berdua. Suami orang dengan isteri orang keluar berdua ni is a big NO-NO lah. Kalau you pergi makan kat kafe then you duduk satu meja lain tau dengan you purposely keluar minum-minum ni. Nanti mula sembang-sembang, get to know each other better, yada yada yada.. Socializing is one thing, but seriously, adakah sebab dah berkahwin so it's okay untuk keluar berdua dengan orang lain macam tu, because, "hey, I'm married, I'm no threat?" Hello, zaman sekarang ni, yang dah beranak 3-4 pun macam-macam boleh jadi tau. 

Secondly, communication is gold. Ini berapa kali nak ulang daaa... Asal tengok cerita melayu, konflik mesti disebabkan masalah komunikasi. When in doubt, ASK. And pihak yang ditanya tu pun jangan la cepat sentap. Especially men, kadang-kidang kita orang perempuan ni, when we ask you something and being curious, it's not that we don't trust you, we just love reassurance. Tapi orang lelaki ni pelik kan, dia memang suka nak senyap-senyap and expect women to understand. Unlike girls, yang pandai mengamuk and throw tantrum tak mengira waktu. So inilah corner stone dalam menjadikan sebuah cerekarama : poor communication skills. Sebab kalau semua cerita applies good communication skills, nescaya jadi short film je slot cerekarama ni.

Thirdly, I highly respect the way the husband menjaga aib isteri. Even to her father also he won't mention. Tapi, mostly orang zaman sekarang, selagi boleh nak cerita lah kan salah pasangan tu, lebih-lebih lagi kalau dah tak bersama. Two things yang kita kena pegang, aib orang melibatkan dosa-dosa ni jangan dibuka, dan dosa kita sendiri pun kita jangan suka canang-canang. That's not the way. I know most people feel obliged to tell everything to the other half especially when they are starting a relationship, tapi sebenarnya taubat kita tu kepada Allah. Dosa is between kita dengan Allah. No need to explain ourself, and also no need to ungkit-ungkit dosa pasangan kita, or orang lain. This video explains this the best.




Lastly, jangan cepat bersangka buruk. This one kita kena tengok cerita ni and tengok berapa banyak negative thoughts that comes to your mind. Ade je idea kan nak teka-teka siapa salah. hihi.

p.s beza muhrim dan mahram
p.p.s kadang-kadang memang berbaloi jugak tgk cerekarama ni kan.

mensyukuri nikmat ayam dan nasi.

I've been on semi-solid food for 4 days, and today's menu is by far the most cherished. Sebab? sebab I've been eating congee (did you know kanji comes from the word congee?) , puding, and all other carbs source available since Tuesday. okay, mungkin kita boleh tambah lagi dekat tajuk, nikmat mengunyah makanan. Long story short, I got my 3rd molar (wisdom tooth) extracted on Tueday, and cannot eat hard and hot stuff lah sementara waktu.

Today's Menu : Tomato Chicken Soup.

hasilnya nanti lebih kurang macam ni, but this picture is from google.

Cara-cara :
Reneh ayam dengan bawang dan garlic sehingga lembut.
Add in potatoes
Take the chicken out. Racik-racik ayam.
Puree some tomatoes in different skillet. (masak dulu then you blend).
Blend the tomatoes with the air rebusan ayam and some potatoes from the broth.
Add in the mixture and fold in the shredded chicken.
Add some cilantro or selery if you wish.

Being unable to chew, I pureed the end-product so I can swallow the chicken pieces without much chewing.

Were you being thankful today before your meal?

Few days ago my brother told me,
  • tahan le sikit
  • dari kecik sampai ke minggu lepas dok baham nasik tak berenti
  • lepas ni makan la pueh2
so it got me thinking, selama hari ni lepas makan kita baca doa lepas makan tu, kita betul ke bersyukur alhamdulillah dapat makan, kenyang, hilang dahaga hari ini dengan rezeki Allah bagi. Ye ke masa kita baca doa makan kita acknowledge konsep rezeki dari Allah? Ke kita baca sebab memang hari-hari kita baca doa dah jadi rutin dah lagipun taknak kongsi dengan syaitan nanti makan tak kenyang pulak kan.

yesterday I went to find mashed potato, semua kedai tak ready lagi mashed potato masing-masing. And I was  trembling from hunger and my teeth is starting to hurt (cannot eat the pain killer on empty stomach). See? Ada duit nak beli makanan pun belum tentu boleh makan tau. Itulah kata orang, kalau tak ada rezeki tu, dah masuk mulut pun boleh terluah. eh.

Every meal should be like thanksgiving meal.

Bukan suruh makan ayam belanda hari-hari. Bukan jugak suruh masak beriya-iya makan besar setiap hari. Cuma nak ambil sentimen syukur tu biar tinggi setiap hari. 

Sebut pasal doa makan tadi.
"Segala pujian bagi Allah yang telah memberi makanan dan  minuman kepada kami, dan yang telah menjadikan kami orang-orang muslim."

Semoga hari-hari kita bersyukur menjadi orang-orang muslim.
