Last weekend while walking home from grocies shopping,hubby asked me...what are my priorities when chose to walk to town,etc...

1- its a good day today..lets walk
2- its very economical
3- its good for my health

well my answer is...

it depends...when the sun is shining so brightly i could not resist to walk outside...since the weather here is so unpredictable...so everytime the sun shine oh so brightly...lets go out baby!...but when its not so good weather...not so bright but we still can walk outside...the priority becomes economical...i mean why waste 4 pounds to go n back from the town..when its not soo far away..?why..why...well...if everyone else wants to do that its their money anyway..so i really don't care...so as you may suspect..the health always comes last...hahaha...

everytime we go anywhere we always bump into malaysians in their cars..they always honk n wave at us..n we wave back..hehehe...everytime (which is not so frequent anyway..) we go to carboot sale people always ask us..if we have bought a car...or with whom do we come...n the answer are always..nope..we come by the bus...

maybe actually i like to walk around...humm...never thought of that..so if you choose to walk around like me...what are you reasons ehh?

bana harumaki,anyone?

This is a recipe that i learned whilst working as a waitress in Rasa Sayang restaurant,Fukui. It is a modified version of pisang goreng so it is more acceptable by japanese people..more presentable more likely. We called it banana harumaki...n it is very simple to make...may be served with tea...or as a dessert to accompany the main dish.


To make this simple dessert you will need banana,sugar,crunchy peanut butter ( but if not available the smooth ones will do ), n kulit popia...i forgot what it is called...hehe..

Just spread a spoon of peanut butter onto the popia skin and put the banana...you can split the banana into half or quarters...which ever you like...and sprinkle a pinch of sugar...fold the skin...put it into a plastic bag and freeze them in a freezer for a night at least..

when you want them,heat the oil..wait until the oil is hot..take out the bananas and fry them really quick..just until the skin is brownish...serve hot...but the bananas will be cold you will feel like eating ice cream goreng!

can be kept in the freezer for about 3 months,thus handy to have in the house for a quick serve if sumone comes over!

terima kasih kerajaan Malaysia,sebab menambahkan penderitaan rakyat...kalu ikut mummy suruh potong sumer elaun-elaun diorang...setakat 10% elaun keraian apa la sangat..tapi tak puas ati pon bukan depa nak dengar pon cakap rakyat ni kan...so untuk diri sendiri dan keluarga kami bertekad untuk jimat setakat mampu bila balik mesia nanti...tak lama pon lg tiga bulan je nak balik dah...tuh dok mengira-ngira nih...

1- mkn di rumah lebih banyak...
that means no more kfc,pizza hut,secret recipe,etc...teringin kfc beli je la tepung kfc goreng kat umah...nak mash potato rebus sendiri le n mash le sendiri...secret recipe?...no thanks...hubby kata mummy wat kek setanding jugak ngan secret recipe tuh...everything will have to compromise beli brand yg tak le glamour sgt...

2- diapers...
considering untuk guna cloth diaper setiap masa bila ada di rumah..paling bagus once fareehah dah pandai cakap toilet train dia secepat mungkin!

3- keter..
ni tak tau lg cane...sbb mummy tak dapat keje lg n hubby pon tak confirm lg belaja kat mana...tp yg pasti nak belaja kat mesia...( jimat sket duit rakyat...tp kitorang je pikir camtu...org lain tak tak leh jugak.. ) sesapa nak sambung master/phd tak yah le gi oversea..sambung je kat mesia..kalau 1st degree holder je layak..setakat 2nd upper mcm mummy ni...sambung je la kat mesia ye! hubby kater kalo kene sambung kat usm, nak carik umah dekat ngan usm so that leh pegi balik keje naik beskal...hehe...ganbatte hubby!bandar baru dekat ke aa ngan usm...( kene tanya pocket ni ) kalo jalan kat mesia mmg sumer lengkap dengan pejalan kaki punya jalan...mummy memang tak kisah je tolak stroller fareehah ke sana-sini...tgk2 jugak ngv installer...kot la mampu nak install kat SiR hubby tuh...kalu balik kampung jimat sket...hehehe...kene survey lagi pasal ni..

3- children education
yang ni tak le wat ape...sbb memang kena upgrade..kitorang ingat blk mesia ni nak up sket fareehah punya education saving..tp kene kira budget...sbb kalo sono mama...mcm takat lepas first year kat uni je...blum campur adek2 fareehah lg ( kalau ader rezeki )...education is very important...so bab nih tak le compromise la..buku2 bacaan sumer kene beli yg second hand je la kot...sekali-sekala beli yg new n shiny ones ye..

4- baju n accesories
mummy memang jarang shopping baju n accesories nih..tp kalo keje kene bajet btul-btul jugak...baju time bujang dulu entah2 tak muat dah...kalau ikut hati malas je nak beli baju baru..tp orang tgk kang dier nih dari form 4 asek pakai baju nih jugak..apa kes?mungkin bole...kene besarkan pinggang sket kot...sayang baju-baju tu...elok lg..baju fareehah tak le la beli brand2...mungkin kene borong bila balik parit buntar...sana murah...hehehe..make-up?n lain-lain...lamooo dah tak mekap..yg dulu punya pon tak luak lg...hehehe...so pakai je la..

5- sambung belaja...
keadaan ekonomi sekarang macam tak memungkinkan mummy sambung belaja...so sekarang cari keje...tp still usha jugak oppurtunity belaja...nak sambung master...terlalu money n time consuming...so instead nak wat professional diploma...part time...13 months...okla kan..dah jumpa few tempat kat penang n selangor...admission pon twice a year..so kalu tak leh sugu belaja pon tak pe..so skrg tgh tgk hubby n mummy punya work n study condition..nanti kalau ader rezeki baru sambung ke peringkat master/phd plak...tu pon nak buat local je...kalo ader master/phd n work experience nanti mungkin satu hari bole capai cita-cita keje sendiri...hehe..ouh...luper lak mummy nih cadang nak belajar dalam bidang early childhood education...or did i tell you already?

apo lagi aaa....hummm nanti ingat sambung lagik...la nih hari2 bukak jobstreet je keje...cari keje area penang,kedah,selangor....mana2 dapat sambar je...harap2 dapat le...doakan ye...

eh...selangor dapat air free ekk...20 meter padu tuh banyak ke aa...dulu masa duduk umah sendiri tak nah pulak belek bil air tuh betul2...kalau banyak...ringan sket beban org selangor...=)

okla..night-night everyone...esok2 kita cerita lagi ye.

today was a great day for outdoor activity.we went to the park near our house n played fun tennis!yey!sungguh seronok.fareehah was excited watching us playing.then she walked around the ground..yey!finally nak jugak dia jalan kat luar...maybe the weather was great, n she does not have to wear so many layers of clothes!she was busy toddling,when that big dog came.fareehah tengok je anjing tu..tapi tak nangis...last2 dier suh mummy dokong dier...n tak mo jalan dah.so we packed our things n jalan balik..pusing2 jap keliling padang n singgah iceland,beli barang sket.then we took a long route balik umah...

semalam read the news in utusan...malaysia naik lagi harga minyak...fuhhh...pas ni kete yang laku cuma keta ber cc rendah la ekkk...kete cc besar tak larat la nak bayar minyak..huhu...keter atos mummy kalo full...dlm 40l kot...dlm rm110 kana....mak aiii...lepas ni sumer orang dok rumah je la tak jalan-jalan naik kete....hubby kata ader org wat comparison harga minyak mesia with other negara yg mengeksport minyak...memang mesia paling mahal...banding arab saudi,or venezuela n nigeria n few other country...maybe the fact that malaysia eksport minyak ke luar...tapi for petrol usage dalam negara still beli from luar mempengaruhi...plus taraf hidup rakyat di setiap negara yang berbeza kan...anyway...economicians yang lebih layak jawab berbanding mummy yg tak der pengetahuan dlm ekonomi...

sekarang pon bila tgk bbc news kecoh pasal food shortage around the world...adakah mungkin boleh berlaku harga makanan naik tinggi sehingga yang mampu kita makan hanyalah ubi kayu mcm masa perang...dan mereka yg bercucuk tanam sendiri akan jadi org paling mewah?humm...atau yg berlaku sekarang ni hanya propagaanda kuasa-kuasa besar dunia...tak tau la...

ganbatte to us!the world is getting wierder everyday...

job hunting,etc...

Written on Sunday, June 01, 2008 by mummyvaio

out of 19 jobs i applied on jobstreet, already 4 are in unsuccessful status.these are the reasons i think why i was not considered :

1- i am over qualified for few of them
2- do not have experience for the jobs i applied.. ( since i am switching my work field drastically ) well if u don't give me the job..how would i have the experience...
3- i stated that i will be available in september...so that is not good ehhh...
4- i stated that i am not in malaysia right now,but will be back real soon!....

anyways,quite suprising to know that most of the my jobs application has been viewed more than once...ala-ala macam nak amik je..tp sbb all the reasons...still considering...tak de la tgk sekali je terus tak minat..one employer even viewed my resume 5 times!...hehehe...anyway sekarang just test market...one or two months before balik mesia,will do job hunting more aggresively.!yosh ganbare!

still tak melupakan hasrat nak sambung belaja balik...is considering very much to do part time study...sebab..mendapat contoh my brother, yang tinggal lagi satu paper je nak abes ACCA dier...wat part time tuh!memang gigih...salute...lama jugak dier nak abes sumer peksa tuh..ramai orang start amek ACCA tp tgh jalan fed up n tak larat..tp my bro can do it!pokok pangkal,jangan putus asa!..gud luck for ur last exam ee!kalau lulus belanja la kitorang makan sate...hehehe...

as for my little brother...hope he can pursue degree this time...cian dier lama nunggu...padehal result bagus...tak de rezeki nak wat cane...tak sempat le nak pau baskin robin cani....aiseehh..

n my lovely little sis....anda sungguh gembira dengarnya keje kat um yer..bagus-bagus...nanti abes master sambungle phd plak...hehe...i know u can do it!...at least tak kene call memalam buta ( pkl 2 or 3 am kdg2 tuh ok..suh dtg kilang.. ) suh cek mesin mcm masa kat kilang dulu ye tak..

to my beloved hubby plak...i love u...selamat ganbare abeskan dissertation projek...hehehe...nanti leh balik mesia...yeyey!
