The Food and Spring Break+Interview in Washington DC

Assalamualaikum dan hello!

Esok dah hari isnin and spring break pun habis. Kat sini, cuti tu maksudnya opportunity to do homework. Aku rasa lecturer2 kene tukar la mentality tu. Dah la normal school days kitorg dah keje macam ape je, lepas tu cuti pun nak bagi keje. Eee sabo je la. 55 days to go! Woohoo!

Tapi last weekend masa pegi DC for interview, lepak2 dgn my good friends. 4 hari rasa mcm full of joy. Rasa macam tak nak grad pun ada. Lepas grad masing2 mesti ada jalan sendiri, keje kat tempat berbeza. Dah nanti separate. Rindu la. Tp takpe, what ever it takes I will try my best to still keep in touch and go lepak eat in the middle of the night mcm kitorg selalu buat. Haha.No recipe to share. Most of the time makan luar. Kalau masak pun tak de yang special. Oh hari tu ade member datang from Colorado aku masak la lemak nenas letak udang, sayur bok choi goreng dengan sambal belacan. Terangkat beb. Aku paksa diorg habiskan makan malam tu jugak. Haha. Gambar ade dalam camera, malasnya nak amik. Jap eh. Oh tak amek gambar la sebab masa tu kelam kabut baru bangun tido. Sayur tak masak lg. Haha. Sorry ye. So kat bawah ni kek2 yang aku bake 2 minggu lepas. My favorite brownies and milk tea pound cake. Kalau nak recipe, search je kat search box. Aku pernah masukkan dulu.

Lepas tu kat dc mcm biasa la, mesti jalan punya. Aku punya interview hari isnin sama mcm cerap, camy, ezriq and ezuan. So yang tinggal tak ramai dah. Nasib baik budak Colorado tunggu Ezuan baru balik. So ada la member nak lepak sat. So here are the pictures not taken by me sebab aku tak bawak camera. Malas sebab berat. Takpe, my fellow boys ni rajin tangkap gambar. Kita bagi diorang tangkap eh.

Mat bunga ni semua. Kat Ronald Reagan Memorial square

Penat setelah jalan more than 1 mile. In front of the White House. Obama tengah meeting.

Sending the Tulsan back. =( Our hotel was Double Tree Hilton.

Sending the Colorado people back =( Pok Chek's hair's looking good there. My attire for the interview earlier that morning. I look exhausted.

The engagement night with Petronas on Friday before. Hazim caught me indulging the cheesecake. Very focus okay bila makan. Hahaha.

Me and Liyana and Sopi and Nelson and Hazim was taking the picture. Sayang diorang ni.

The little boy yang sesat dan lapar. Pakai baju formal the whole day even though his interview was in 2 days time. Makan depan TV tgk adult swim. 

The twinsies! Luttphi and Sopi. Luttphi was the one who cooked nasi kerabu specially for me for 2 times. Hehehe. I told him I sayang him because of nasi kerabu. 

Our table during engagement session. That Lady was my interviewer. Everyone was looking pretty behave. Belakang tabir, Ya Allah sahaja yg maha mengetahui. Haha.

Okay now tinggal 55 days to go before graduation. Lepas tu aku terus balik to attend my old friend's wedding kat Kluang Johor. Oh I miss Johor and its food lah. Dah 11 tahun kawan dengan makcik ni. How could I miss her wedding. Tapi at the same time, kalau boleh nak lepak dengan budak2 ni kalau boleh go for another roadtrip and have fun. Tapi tula tak semua benda kita nak boleh dapat kan. It's okay. Lepas ni ingat nak g roadtrip pegi terengganu kelantan kita makan sampai meletop. Luttphi and Pok Chek ada boleh jadik tour guide. Oh right after balik pun I will go to Kelantan for a friend's friend wedding. Saja nak tengok mcm mana orang Kelantan punya wedding. Asyik makan nasi beryani johor je kan, kita try sikit org pantai timur punya wedding food. 

Okay time to continue buat hw. Maleh betul la. Dah la snow kat luar. Asyik snow je, bila nak spring ni? Ni bukan spring break ni, ni winter break namanya. Haha.

Adios!

Keuy Teow Goreng Belacan (Phad Thai)

Assalamualaikum. Hello all!

Apa khabar? Kita baik je kat sini. Lately ni banyak makan luar dengan my girls here sebab dah nak grad kan. So nak spend time dgn diorang sebab nanti dah tak dpt jumpa lagi. Nanti dah keje mesti busy pun. Hopefully la kita tak mcm org lain yang busy keje sampai lupa member. Tak baik taw mcm tu. Until now, kita masih in contact dgn member since sekolah rendah and bila cuti pegi lepak dgn member lower form. Mmeber upper form semuanya tak de kat Malaysia, ssh nak jmpa. Ouh I love all my friends. Kalau tak, takkan jadi kawan kan. Hafizah and I always always have this conversation about friends. Pada kitorg kawan ni seseorang yang willing nak spend time even busy mcm mana pun. Bukan nak suruh spend 5 jam. Even for a 30 minutes lunch pun dah okay dah sebenarnya. And bukan senang taw kita nak sayang org. Siapa yang kene sayang dgn kita tu kira untung la. I will take care of them. Haha. Macam ketua gangster kan. Oh yeah, when I was in high school kat Jasin, org cakap aku taiko. Masa lower form kat Mersing pun org cakap taiko sbb bdk2 ni takut dgn aku. Mmg gangster agak nya aku ni. Hahaha. Tapi jgn risau, I'm okay and very friendly. Sampai Hafizah kata too friendly and maybe org boleh perasan aku suka diorg. haha. Jangan carik pasal sudah ye. Siapa yg pernah kene tu faham la. ^_^

Okay la resepi phad thai ni senang aje. Tak payah tumis chili mcm nak masak kuey teow goreng. Kita paling malas ni nak tumis cili la. Habis percik satu dapur. And kita tak suka dapur kotor2 ni. Dah la tak de maid. Terpaksa jadik maid kat rumah tukang lap dapur. Kalau tak nanti sakit mata. Okay resepi ni sepatutnya pakai udang kering tp kita tak de udang kering, kita pakai belacan. And it turned out quite delicious you know. It reminds me of nasi goreng belacan. Ingredients dan rasa very similar. Sangat sesuai untuk sarapan pagi atau minum petang. Kalau bujang tu, makanan mcm ni sesuai untuk bila bila sahaja. 

Ingredients:

1 bawang merah - hiris halus
cili padi (ikut suka)- hiris halus
1 ketul belacan besar ibu jari
Sos ikan (yang ada gambar sotong kat luar dia tu)
Air asam jawa
Gula
Telur
Kuey Teow

Optional: Udang, daun bawang, taugeh

1. Tumis bawang sampai naik bau. Masuk cili, belacan, udang, sos ikan dan air asam jawa. Gaul sebati dan selepas seminit, masukkan kuey teow. 
2. Masukkan gula utk perasa dan kalau tak cukup air asam jawa and sos ikan tu, boleh la masuk lagi ikut citarasa masing2. 
3. Ketepikan mee, pecahkan telur dekat dasar kuali tu. Bila telur dah separuh masak, pecahkan dia dan gaul dengan mee. 
4. Boleh la masukkan daun bawang atau taugeh dan gaul sampai masak dan mesra. 

Kita masukkan sekali mixed vegetables. Sebab masa ni dah tak de apa kat rumah. So masuk jela. Sedap! And simple kan. Siapa yang tak suka belacan tu, susah sikit la. Kita suka makan mee and dah buntu nak masak mee ape lg. Jadi kita rasa resepi ni satu resepi yang bagus la.

Okay time to continue working. It is raining outside and I'm loving it! I just miss rainy day.

Untuk Bumiputera

Assalamualaikum. Hye!

Entry ni just untuk share satu video yg kita tengok kat youtube pasal bumiputera. I think it is so interesting to be shared here. Orang Melayu ni memang selalu berhenti berjalan bila dah puas dengan apa yang kita ada. Ada pulak yang suka ambil kesempatan atas orang lain asalkan dia untung. Contohnya, habiskan harta tinggalan, Ali Baba thing. Ada yang malas keje dia berfoya-foya, isteri kene kerja kuat. Macam2 la. Sebab tu as a feminist, kita rasa semua perempuan patut kerja sungguh2, dan cari pasangan yang sekufu. Jangan biar lelaki pijak kita. Lelaki pulak, belajar la betul2, graduate and ade degree, jgn belajar separuh jalan je lepastu berangan nak kaya guna jalan pintas. Lelaki tu leader, kalau diri sendiri tak terurus, macam mana nak uruskan org lain. Sure takkan dihormati, maybe anak2 pun tak hormat nanti. Perempuan kene pandai berdikari, jangn harapkan lelaki. For example, kita boleh travel by myself to anywhere that I want. Some people just cannot do that, they need someone to accompany them. That's not right. Manusia tetap manusia. Tak boleh letak kepercayaan 100%. Hanya pada Allah sahaja. I have been cheated for a few times already, and I know what I'm talking about. But once you fall, just go back up, and run like usual. Not a big deal. Sebenarnya apa yg jadi dalam life ni macam drama bersiri je. Tak penting kan? Apa yang penting ialah the main aim in our lives. Thats it. And my aim is to be a successful engineer. Amin. I will have a job interview 2 weeks from now. Pray for me okay!
