Our simple eid celebration, 2013

Story on August 7 - 8, 2013 (Eid Syawal and First syawal)

Kalau orang dah dah berbelas N3 cerita pasal Eid.. heee.. i baru nak warm up.. tak pe lah kan. kasi chance kat i.. anyway i tetap nak story kat sini.. maybe basi for others but not bagi i.. still happy to tell u abaout our preparation and even our simple celebration during eid. 

This eid, we decided to do small feast  on the first  nite of eid .. as usual our chef lah yang berrhempas pulas memasak sambil dibantu the rest of the family. this year nampaknya tak lah rama helpers kat dapur.. My brother beraya kat rumah in laws. sama gak dengan CiRah. so tak ramai on the day before eid. but still meriah you.. kecoh..

Chef CiJu sedang mengaul rempah for Opor Ayam.. this was our dish during eid. 

the rest busy membungkus BERASAK.. termasuk menantu orang Kelantan ni. heee. nasib lah badan..kata suka makan kan.. so memang kena bungkus..  

i made sikit ketupat for Hubby.. beli je sarung tu..

Lamb yang nak kena marinated for our dish also.. malam karang nak bakar..

i pun tak nak kalah. heeee... kederat dikerah.. alaaahhhbuat Lai Chee Kang je.. tapi yang ni bukan sembarang Lai Chee Kang ok... bukan kedai style.. rumah style.. Bak kata Abang Luqman lah. masak dengan LOVE.. tu yang jadi sedap.. heee.. belum pun masak yee dah sibuk puji2.. 

tiba lah pagi raya.. the rest tak sempat bergamabr raya. In fact this eid, we didnnt have any eid pics.. so sad.. memasing sibuk. sibuk apa ek???

sibuk nak prepare food for this kenduri malam nanti.. memang lah tak jemput ramai orang.. tapi our family je dah memang sedia ramai.. 

lepas kaum Adam balik dari semejid,Chef lagi tambah sibuk memasak.. walhal kalau ikut - ikut kan dah siap breakfast dah.. tapi sebab food ni nanti nak dijamu waktu malam, so kena masak agak lewat sikit.. tak mudah basi lah gamaknya. 

jadi selesai masak, baru lah kami makan. kira merangkap lunch. dah terlalu lewat. 

yang penting Berasak kena ada.. menu wajib..

ini yang sempat disediakan..

Chef CiJu sempat lagi membrownies.. sangat suka...

kami menerima first guest dari JB siap tapau food lagi. merasalah makan Nasi Dagang.. sedappp..ini pun sudah pasti masak dengan LOVE.. heeee

dan macam - macam cookies.. sedap - sedap gak..

me and my cousins.. their late mom adalah My Mommy second's sister.. lama dah tak ada.. so my cousins tumpang kasih sayang to My Mommy. sebab My Mommy je yang duduk dekat kampung. Lagi sorang duduk kat Singapore.. (tup - tup, rupa - rupanya my Singaporean's cousin kawen dengan Alin's cousin..) small world. 

malam tu, our kenduri just dihadiri oleh jemaah masjid for tahlil dan the rest hanyalah my cousins.. My cousins family je sudah hanpir 55 orang . seee.. plus kami yang di dalam rumah.. kurang lebih 20 orang.. so cukup dah. heee.. memang kami tak jemput sesiapa..Ini antara yang hadir.. My cousins ni lah yang sama - sama main pondok - pondok masa we all kecik - kecik. heee.. nostalgia betul. dah tua - tua dah kami. heeee... 

dissebabkan siang tadi kami semua tak dapat foto - foto, maka malam ni terus i ajak my sisters berfoto - foto. kami berempat je lah. the rest dah tak rupa orang. heeee...

these are my beloved sisters.. May ALLAH bless us with HIS rahmah.. kasih sayang kekal hingga Jannah.. INSYALLAH....

disuruh bergaya, maka bergaya lah kami. heee..sakannn..

plus ini our cousins. our bonding memang sangat - sangat close. alhamdulilah..

and this is little lady in the family Princess Aurora. 

while this is little man in the family, Little Ali.. last year dalam perut.. now, kutip duit raya.. heee

Anyway, ini lah cerita eid kami. so simple with no family pictures like before. tak pe.. INSYALLAH kalau ada rezeki, pajang umur, kami boleh gambar2 taun depan.. Mana tau ada ahli keluarga yang bertambah.. apa yang penting hubugan family kami akan bertambah kukuh hingga akhir hayat.. well instead this eid story ada lagi dua eid story.. cerita jenjalan.. cerita ziarah.. nnait i share ye...

Volume 2, Book 15, Number 69 :

Narrated by 'Abdullah bin Umar

Umar bought a silk cloak from the market, took it to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Take it and adorn yourself with it during the 'Id and when the delegations visit you." Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) replied, "This dress is for those who have no share (in the Hereafter)." After a long period Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) sent to Umar a cloak of silk brocade. Umar came to Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) with the cloak and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You said that this dress was for those who had no share (in the Hereafter); yet you have sent me this cloak." Allah's Apostle said to him, "Sell it and fulfill your needs by it."

Our First and Last Iftar at Shah Alam Convention Center, 2013

First of all.. Assalam to all of u.. Selamat Hari Raya Maaf Zahir dan Batin.. Lamaaa sangat tak update my blog ni.. since i think about 3 weeks before eid. Moodnya entah ke mana.. nak pull balik the energy tu sangat - sangat susah.. but i will try.. many things ada dalam kepala ni.. plus the health not so good.. but duaa lah sesama ye..Ok lahh.. i nak cerita kat sini.. cerita yang memang dah sangat lapuk..backward lah nampak gayanya..  but i tetap nak tulis gak.. hee

Story on August 6, 2013

this ramadan we all memang tak spent our iftar outside.. just kat rumah je even almost every day food nya dibeli.. mostly every day  ke R e s t o r e n   S o t o   S h a h   A l a m lah..ALHAMDULLILAH resto ni agak reasonable lah price dia.. not too pricey like other restos in Shah Alam ni.. ini cakap betul ni..price musti extra dalam RM20 cam tu.. jadi pilihan utama adalah resto mak nyonya ni lahh.. (this resto belongs to mualaf.. tu yang i panggil resto mak nyonya..heee..)

anyway, at the last week before eid tu. teringin lah pulak memasing nak iftar kat luar.. survey - survey area Shah Alam ni.. Concorde Hotel, fully booked. huuhh.. Blue Wave Hotel, too pricey.. RM100 plus.. (melampau).. De Palma (macem kureng je).. then we all decided to go to Shah Alam Convention Center for Ramadan Buffet. Nampak kat banner tu terpampang RM68++, kids RM48++.. tapi bila tanya, eemmmm almost RM87 gamaknya.. well what to do.. kitarang tempuh je lah. nak sangat makan kat luar.. lagipun mood raya dah mari.. dah malas nak makan kat rumah dah.. 

tiba je di sini, meja kami dah disediakan depan pentas lagi.. dekat sangat dengan big speakers.. tak boleh bersembang langsung.. cukup tak selesa.. bila requested meja lain kununnya meja all occupied. eemmm.. 

ALHAMDULLILAH sambil makan sedap - sedap kat sini, duit kita tu dicontribute kan ke Palestine.. dapat lah sikit saham kott..hee

macam - macam booths ada di sini.. Malays ada, Middle East food pun ada.. 

Ini lah muka - muka yang happy dapat makan luar. ye lahh.. almost a month makan di rumah je.. hari ni mengibar bulu gamaknya..

nampak tak tu, azan dah dilaungkan.. masa for iftar.. tapi masih sempat lagi tu.. kami memang agak susah nak sembang - sembang.. but then after some times, our request nak pindah meja dapat.. kami transferred to the table which close to the food.. heaven memang lah gamaknya..Jom kita tengok food kat sini.. 

kat sini fofular dengan Kambing Panggangnya. Memang i pun suka sangat dengan kambing.. 

and the Bread Pudding dia.. memang marvelous lahh..ingat nak ulang lagi.. tup - tup toleh belakang, dah licing satu tray..

ini masa memula kami ambik. sekejap - kejap, licing.. lama gak tunggu, katanya tak refill lagi.. sedihh..

tup - tup bangun, jengah, tu diaaa.. terhidang satu lagi new tray.. apa lagiiii. heee

duta pun terus posing.. and  we took for the second plate.. yummm..yummm..

my humus, arayes, and kabsa lamb.. sangat suka..

i took another second plate.. plus ada Nasi Mandy lagi. heeee

this one also one of middle east food.. tapi tak hengat nama dia..

my kids.. were enjoying the food.. 

habis makan, ini lah pulak ragamnya... macam - macam fesen.

happy lepas makan.. sampai kan susah nak balik.. haru tul..

ALHAMDULLILAH BARAKALLAH.. merasa rezeki di sini kali ini. INSYALLAH mudah2an akan bertemu ramadan di masa depan.. semoga ALLAH accept all our good deeds. INSYALLAH... nanti i ceritakan pulan hal raya kami ye. heee.. tka kesah lah yee.. asalkan i got something to share with you guys.. INSYALLAHHH..

Volume 3, Book 31, Number 128 :

Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "Allah said, 'All the deeds of Adam's sons (people) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.' Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Hands my soul is' The unpleasant smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Lord; then he will be pleased because of his fasting."

Selamat Menyambut Eid Fitri.....

Assalam semua.. YA ALLAH..just few days yang tinggal sebelum kita menyambut Eid Fitri.. Dan malam - malam terakhir ni tinggal beberapa hari lagi.. sure ramai yang sibuk pada minggu - minggu terakhir ni. macam - macam persiapan.. me, ALHAMDULILAH my hampers done dan delivered already. lega... 

How about persiapan baju raya, kasut raya, biscuits raya.. me.. this is the first time in my life NO BAJU RAYA.. i mean i memang tak buat new baju for this hari raya..and NO REGRET..  i just buat baju for Hubby, beli jubah for Abang Luqman  from Dil yang dibawak dari Egypt, bought baju melayu for Abang 'Imran, and jubah for Abang Irfan which we bought last week kat PKNS. 

dan i rasa i will be off for awhile. no blogging,  no facebooking..no more Skype, no viber (just for certain time lah i guna kan.), also no WeChatting.. bukan lah nak jadi muslimah bagai sangat.. just hanya ingin merasakan masa tu dipergunakan dengan sebaiknya.. mana lah tau.. mungkin ini Ramadan terakhir.. but dua'a kan lah.. kita semua boleh bertemu another ramadan in future..INSYALLAH..mugkin agak susah bagi kita sekarang ni nak berenggang dengan all these.. wechat, viber, whatapps, fb, blog.. but this is my jihad for myself.. not for anybody... but for MYSELF.. dua'a kan i mampu.. 

for all my frens.. in fact for those my silent readers..since lama kita tak akan bersua.. INSYALLAH after raya kot, i will be back here again.  i just wanna wish you guys Happy Eid Mubarak..semoga ALLAH memberkahi Ramadan dan Syawal kita.. menjadikan kita manusia yang lebih baik dan baik di masa akan datang.. 

I mohon ampun dan maaf, kalau ada my N3 yang menyinggung perasaan.. yang tersurat dan tersirat.. semoga kita ALLAH panjang kan umur dan jodoh, INSYALLAH kita jumpa lagi... MAASALAMA...

Harap - harap dapat bertemu wajah dengan KakZakie.. INSYALLAH..

Chanel Product Preview at the Royale Bintang Damansara

Story on July 25, 2013..

last N3 i told you about P a t c h i   c h o c o l a t e.. where i searched in Midvalley. supposedly lepas balik dari Midvalley i went directly to KLIA. nak pick up Hubby.. tapi tah cam ne tah, tup - tup Hubby called bagi tau tak perlu fetched him.. even dia dah landed at 4.00PM, tapi ada problem dengan luggage. Depa punya luggage naik kapai terbang lain. heee... ini lah kalau masalah dengan pengurusan masa.. tak kesahlah.. maka Hubby kena tunggu till 7.00PM. meaning dia kena bukak pose kat airport dengan 2 lagi staffs dia.. 

so i pun terus balik lah.. keletihan gara - gara Patchi maka tertidur lah lepas sampai rumah tu.. Time dah iftar, kurang lebih pukul 9.00PM Hubby still tak sampai lagi. then almost 9.45PM baru lah sampai naik cab.. bawak memacam..termasuklah ikan..dan lelain barang for his kids.. especially Abang Irfan yang asyik merengek nak kan slippers Flippers. dapat lah sampai 3 pasang.. tup - tup i pun dapat sesuatu...

Nak jadi cerita sebenarnya 2 weeks before i got invitation from Chanel.. Ada product preview.. and i was invited.. bila dah dapat hadiah Chanel tu maka bertambah semangat lah i nak pegi.. So, the event took place at Royale Bintang Damansara.. different dengan Royale Bintang The Curve ye.. Ini yang di area Surian Tower. Lebih bintang sikit kot dari yang The Curve tu.. 

the address of this hotel is.. 

The Royale Bintang Damansara, 2 Jalan PJU 7/3, Mutiara Damansara, 47810, Sleangor. 

This hotel memang nampak gak.. so big.. so english i can say.. because so white.. betul ke statement i ni. heee.. tak kesah lahh. layan je.. ada gak style vantage nya lah for some parts. 

anyway, we arrived here bit early.. the event at 10.00AM.. i m a person yang very concern about time.. i akan susah hati kalau i lambat.. once sampai the organizer cakap ada food. but they knew that we were fasting and apologized  to us.. but pada kitarang no big deal. so we all still can took pictures on food. heee.. even tak leh makan.. drooling gak tengok.heee

i ditemani oleh MyPA, plus MyChef, plus MyDuta,  plus MySis..heee sape lagiii kalau bukan Chef CiJu... :-)

not so many yang dijemput. i think around 18 people je kot. 

timely skincare trio.

and this is the products. belum keluar lagi kat market ye.. baru preview. and i had the opportunity to see and try  this first.. Le Jour for day usage, La nuit for nite, and Le Weekend for every week.. sume nak kasi tegeng.. heee...

product for day, for nite and for weekend..eeemmm tu diaaa..siap ada for weekend. 

  

the event started withbrief speech from the facilitator, (forgot her name lahhh..)..

and more information about the product from the product consultant, Mrs Elvina.

then time for make over.. 

some of the product yang i gunakan.. but not need to change drastically...slowly..

product to be in my list soon. iya lah since i dah guna the cream and the serum, i sud consider about other things.... huu..huuu..

and these were the products yang digunakan for the make over rme.. kunun lahh..

and also wanna share with you guys.. this is also new parfume to be launched soon. i dah merasa pakai dah.. kalau 50ml dalam RM300 plus kot.. for 100ml dalam RM500... normal price for chanel lah..

with Stephanie as my beautician di The Curve.. so tengok kulit muka dia. macam kulit baby.. 

with Mrs Elvina. 

sebelum balik, sempat bergambar lagi.. plus dapat Door Gifts.. and we bought the Le Jour.. day cream.. for this cream plus minus dalam RM200 plus.. sama rege dengan Le Nuit for nite.. just Le Weekend bit higher.. dalam RM300 plus.. but affordable for those yang afford.. 

ok..time to go back sebelum area The Curve ni diserang rakyat Selangor yang bercuti Nuzul Quran.. memang seram kalau Selangor cuti.. tu yang masa kami datang so smooth. sebab cuti.. from my house to Royale Bintang just took about 30 minutes.. memang sangat - sangat best. 

last but not least.. heee.. saje je menempek kat sini. me at the age of 45.. how about another 10 years INSYALLAH kalau panjang umur..dari segi kesihatan mungkin sedikit merosot kot.. tapii tak tau gak kan.. just need your dua'a from all my frens.. wish me great in health , great in wealth, and great with ALLAH.. insyallahh..  so nanti i nak compare... heeeee..
