Got lucky on a Potluck!

Petang semalam abang tetiba telefon dan beritahu; orang pejabat nak buat potluck esok.

Masa dia sebut tu, fikiran macam tak 'hadam' lagi realiti 'potluck' tu sebab lagipun tengah busy depan komputer. Masa proses nak 'menghadam' tu, abang dah tanya pasal macam2 menu dah... Tapi menu pertama yang dia sebut adalah 'angel hair' goreng yang mak saya masak & jadi bekal pertama dia ke pejabat setelah cuti majlis kahwin habis.

Dan macam mentol baru menyala, sedarlah saya yang saya kena masak sesuatu untuk dia bawa ke pejabat esoknya...Allahuakbar, dah dua tahun kot tak masak2 untuk potluck...! Berbalik kepada cerita angel hair tadi... :P

Katanya kawan2 dia tak pernah nampak 'mee' macam tu. Sedap & nak resipi, kata merekalah... Masalahnya, itu hanya sejenis spageti goreng biase yang mak campur & main campak2 je bahan2nya. Jadinya, tiada resipilah yang disimpan/diingat. Sian depa dok sebut2, rupa2nya nak merasa lagi 'angel hair' goreng tu... Tak kesampaianlah nampaknya...

Jadi, saya pun menelek kembali episod2 makan2/ potluck di tempat kerja saya dulu untuk dapatkan idea dan buat keputusan untuk sediakan Apple Crisp. Mak minta buat dalam dua bekas, satu utk makan2 kat umah.

FuuH, kalo orang lain mengadun brown sugar, oat & butter tu dalam 15 minit, saya amik masa 45 minit kot!? Yelah, ni kira cabaran pertama menjamu kawan pejabat abang dengan hasil air tangan sendiri tau. Sukat ikut mata pun ada sebab resipi asal untuk 8 hidangan, yang kawan abang kat pejabat adalah dalam 30 orang kot...Berdoa jugalah dalam hati supaya menjadi hasilnya...

Petang tadi dapat mms dari abang------------>

Bekas kanan bawah yang kosong itu...!

Syukur Alhamdulillah...

Ogling at this

BegCanteq: Item # 1194: Pre-Order RELIC BY FOSSIL Convertible...: Relic By Fossil Vicky Striped Convertible Checkbook Wallet Relic by Fossil Vicky Floral Convertible Checkbook Wallet Relic by Fossil Vick...

You know what, I've been eyeing this for a year now... I like the Striped & Floral ones. Don't know which one I would pick & don't know when I would buy them either :P

I bought a purse there last year. Now I wonder what made me buy that purse instead of this. Hmm...
The purse is nice, only it gets bulky. It's just that I think I need something smaller than a handbag but a little bit bigger than my purse to allow space for a handphone when I'm going somewhere nearby e.g. night market :D

Let's put up a delayed gratification mode then!

hlovate relationship

My love-hate relationship with my dissertation is endlessly unnerving!

Sometimes I imagine on the time when I did the action research for my office last time and wonder if I could do it all over again.

The thought of re-living the 'sleepless nights, dozed off-on-desk, zombie-like' days is a nightmare even though it ended with a bitter sweet event. The end result of all those led me positive with shingles and 2nd place prize. 5 years on and I'm still recovering from the damaged nerves now and then.

Where there is a will, there is a way, right?

19 more days to go before I report on my 1st day of work after a two-year study leave!
-And surviving doing the not-yet-finished dissertation while working later! :P


A mantra shared by a colleague

p/s: Sorry for using 'hlovate' name here. But it is so appropriate in describing the situation here :)

Happy 6-month Anniversary, my Dearies!

Today, 6 months ago, all my loved ones gathered on my wedding day. I could never repay for the trouble & effort they have gone through that day.

Terima kasih Mak & Abah atas doa yang tak putus-putus... 
Terima kasih semua!

I pray that Allah will help you in any way & on whenever you need Him the most.

Dan yang terutama, kepada suamiku yang amat ku sanjungi, penaung hidupku kini yang terpilih oleh Yang Maha Esa, Terima kasih kerana menerima diri ini dengan segala kelemahan yang ada & Terima kasih kerana sudi membimbingku sepanjang usia. Semoga kita tabah menghadapi cabaran mendatang & meneruskan usaha 'bermuafakat', Insya-Allah :)
