Ramadan Kareem

We should be grateful that we are still here for this year's Ramadan.Let's do it better this year.Be mindful what you eat and more importantly HOW you eat.I have decided not to have any high protein at berbuka and to have more fruits and fresh veges/salads. Walaupun I have lost 2-3 inches (baju raya kena alter balik) I have started to gain back sebab dah mula nak makan sedap.Bob advised me to go on another round of detox (kali ni lagi lama dan sudah tentu lagi intense).I kata lepas Raya, insyaAllah (so no open houses for me for the first 2 weeks of Syawal...it'll be hard).

No bazaar Ramadan sebab takut virus H1N1.Kena masak sendiri (bibik pulak will habis her contract 2nd week of Ramadan.The new one tak tau lagu apa pulak...entah ada ke tak.Cik Nik kata balik dari Makkah, he'd start looking...haiyo..while he looks, I'd be in charge..pengsan gue!)

Kpd pembaca2 blog ini, saya ucapkan Ramadan Kareem (kpd mana-mana Karim yang membaca ini,kalau ada, janganlah perasan.Hahaha).Ingat, bulan ini bulan mendidik jiwa (kita ride our nafs bukan nafs rides us, bak kata Rumi), memantapkan fizikal jadi berhati2lah bila berbuka.Fruits, fresh veges, lots of liquid and some rice.Cuba buat, badan rasa ringan utk teraweh.

Dill: Thks.You too.Sahor apa pagi tadi? Apa plan Raya? (hahaha..puasa baru nak mula, dah cakap pasal Raya)

Lady of Leisure:Thanks.I looked up your blog.What I liked was its greenness.Your kampongs (both sides: Perlis and Melaka) sangat da cantik.Kalau Raya pasti best, kan? Awat gambar tak nampak muka?

Lady of Leisure said...

tq,betul tu dr, kalau pagi raya memang best, betul-betul suasana kampung..
hehe.. cek segan nak tunjuk muka.. :)

Lady of Leisure: ish..ish ..ish.Anyway, tahun ni buat biskut raya sendiri ke? Kalau ada yang sedap DAN murah, tolong habag kat cek.This reminds cek to tel kawan lama cek kat Bangsar yang ada tat nenas fesyen baru (besar separuh tapak tangan, you).Tapi rasanya tel no tu dah hilang (sebab cek tukar new ph).

Kalu ada resipi bagus/know where to order, pass2 OK?

salam dr faridah..
cek ada terbaca satu blog ni..

http://nanirostam.blogspot.com/

katanya kuih dia confirm sedap, kalau tak sedap boleh pulangkan katanya, tapi cek tak penah try lagi..hari ni last untuk order kuih kata pemilik blog tu..
cuba dr try call..

cek kalau buat kuih raya pun sejenis jer, biskut arab.. hehe.. tapi tahun ni macam tak dapat nak buat sebab anak2(my two kitties) kacau, depa pun nak tumpang uli sekali.. :-D

biasanya semua penjual biskut kata theirs the best.I pernah terkena..so I beli.Rasa tepung bulat2! Tak berbaloi dgn harganya.So kalau you tak pernah try, tak berani la I nak meng-ordernya.

Buat la biskut arab tu masa the kids are asleep.Trick dia kasi makan kenyang2.Sure tidur awal punya.I tengah nak lobby anak dara I.Tapi dia ni exam-oriented la sesangat.She said ada 34 papers she has to sit for her SPM trial exam.Apa jenis sekolah banyak ngat papers ni??(but her sch won best day school, peringkat nasional). Masa I sekolah dulu, I got time to help my grandma buat kuih bahulu (pemukul dia yang jenis spring tu)Yang paling siksa, jaga acuan yang dibakar atas dapor kayu arang.I should blog pasal ramadan in the early 70s, ek?Ramadan waktu nostalgic.

Lady of Leisure said...

banyaknya papers? sampai 34? zaman cek dulu 7 papers pun dah menggelupur study.. tak dapat bayangkan la kalau sampai 34..

hehe.. anak2 tu actually my two cats.. :) kalau dr tengok kat sidebar my blog ada gambar depa, satu nama arri, satu nama molly..

kalau kids bagi susu n makan kenyang memang depa tidoq lena.. tapi cat ni depa very alert, bunyi tapak kaki pun, kalau menarik perhatian depa akan terjaga.. hehe..

Faridah said...

hahaha..kitties rupanya.Terbaca kiddies.Mata orang tua... :))

My gal kata 34 papers tu some sekolah punya, the other Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri/or is it daerah? I tengok dia study pun I tension.

I looked up blog yang you bagi tu.Cantik2 cookies dia.And takda rupa tepong (some blogs I saw ada rupa tepong which didn't blend so well dgn butter ke gula ke)I rang but no one picked up the ph.Gamaknya dah habis tarikh meng-order.
