U ols jgn ingat i pi gantung poster pilihan raya then pi makan nasi lemak...tak ye.,.takdenya aku nak wat keje-keje tu..hihihi

Sabtu malam ahad...i was alone at Nuin..i like this place..looks cozy, nice food , free wifi.. since i dun have internet connection at my apartment, so i went to Nuin, checking e-mails and do my paper work which need to be submitted on Monday.. (kalau kat rumah i tidurr terbaringgg je..so need go some where lese to concentrate on my work..ofis??..takkan nak pi opis memalam buta...koser kan..

so sesambil kerja..i ordered ice lemon tea,, and NASI LEMAK..am i crazy??..memalam buta ..having nsi lemak at 10.30 pm.?? but to be honest i like nasi lemak Perak at Nuin..thats y lah..lama dah tak makan sini...and because i spent the whole week at my apartment, lot of things to do..so i have ample time to lepaking at Nuin...plus i love the ambiance..cantik..iaku duduk atas lantai, dgn bantal2 cantik tersusun..selesa sgt mcm kat rumah..and siap ada partition.bestkan..and takkan nak guna wifi free sambil menikmati my favourite food kat sini tak buleh kan...and i never heard lagilah that someone get killed because having one plate of Nasi Lemak memalam buta...ye dak??..anyone..plis tell me...hihihih..

Nasi lemak Perak .I give 8/10

And plus point kedai ni kan..catz was doubled park in front of the shop..this area is hot area..got several kedai mamak..where people watch foot ball at the big skrin..very packed..congested..

so bila ada org nak keluar, the waiter asked me to removed my car, and they booked the space for me after i made satu pusingan at the area..nice kan,..and the owner even assigned their staff to look after my stuff...my food..nice huh??? (actually depan kedai ni kete aku eksiden few months back..scratch tu aku still tak repair lagik...)..parut itu masih kekal...(jiwangnyaaa)..

I went home about 12.30 a.m..and guess what..tomorow is Hari Penamaan Calon..and people were busy hanging the poster, banner and tah hapa2 lagiklah kan...meriahhh sgt...( i tot nak amik photo, tapi..am tak koser gitu amik photo gelap2 kat round about tuh)...everywhere meriah yang amat..i guess the mat rempit also helping them to hang the poster etc...meriah ko..sana sini poster parti itu parti ini...sebelah sini org hijau putih, belah sana parti kaler biru putih...and byk gilla kereta tepi2 jalan...should i join them some said that u can earn extra money during the election campaign..malam ni amik upah gantung poster parti A, esok malam gantung poster party B...kan masyukk tuh..iye kah?sapa ada contact..pliss....ngundi tak ngundi belum tentu lagik tuh..hihihiih...yg penting poster tergantung..tak gitu mek???..so PERANG POSTER sudah lah bermula..and yg klakar..pagi2 ahad tuh aku beriya2 tgk TV..mengikuti perkembang penamaan calon..am i into politics?..oh NO lah..aku cuma mengikuti perkembangan semasa lah..takdelah out sgt pengetahuan am aku ni kan..cam katak bawah tempurung...

p/s: and ada ketua polis ke hapa tah bagi statement..ada report dibuat kerana ada parti dah gantung poster..patutnya lepas penamaan calon baru leh gantung..

eh..bukan dah berminggu2 ke poster2 tuh dah tergantung???kann?..kannn??

and i was a bit dissapointed lah coz ahli parlimen tempat aku tuh tak dicalonkan..replace with a lady.. oklah i bangga perempuan jadi calon kawasan i..but dia boleh ke serve the rakyat..attend the kenduri like the previous one..bercampur gaul dgn org kampung..

ehm..the TV3 siap interview..and the calon said,

calon: i'm happy. i will try my best to perfom my duty as wakil rakyat..

yg digugurkan: kecewa?.oh tidak..dulu saya dpt, org lain tak dpt, now giliran org lain pulak dpt..malah saya dtg sebagai pencadang.. (hipokrit ke tak ?..or he really sincere..??dlm hati tah2 kecewa yg amat..coz there are several people yg tak dicalon ala2 merajuk..)..and he said.." the task will never end..perjuangan belum berakhir, saya akan bekerja untuk parti..."

iyolah tu...!

hehhehehe..

swimming and dinner di Village View

Hem...i love swimming, but i am not the olympic champion...berenang pun ala2 berenang kelemasan..ekekkehehhe...tak cukup napas tercungap2...ni dah lama tak wat bubling lah ni..
so yesterday...after get new swimming suit, new gogles and cap, saira and i went out...we lepaking in the swimming pool for about 1 hour plus..wow...good treatment..i can feel that the stressed that acummulated in my head and body drain out..relief....fuhh...
and i think i shoud do this activity more often.. at least once a week...its a good activity actually compared to jogging, or gym activity. (tak berpeluh..sejuk-sejuk gituh..kan best...hahahah)...
Tah bila lah aku nak pi gym kan...bulan2 bayor tu nak buat apa ek...mcm bazir jek..budus kan...
ANd i really enjoy the swimming activity...best..best...and the funny thing was.. i keep thinking what to eat after swimming..and which makan place we wil go so i asked Saira " weh..kita nak makan kat mana ni..nak makan apa ek?" then suddenly i heard a voice.. loudly said " laa...tgh berenang pun pikir nak makan apa..macaman nak kurus???!!" and it was not saira voice!!.. A lady with her daughter sound aku cam tuh...kureng asam kan...aku bisik kat saira.. " eh..kuat ke aku ckp...akak tu buleh dengar?"..and suddenly that akak said" dengar...akak dengar..."..and dia mcm nak ajak kami bual2..aku layan gitu2 dan aku cepat2 pi berenang semula..hheheeeee..

so after puas dah berenang..we ols pi makan..di Bangi..di "Village View"..

yeszzz..makannnn!!!..catz suka sangat...

so kami bertolak ke Village view..bila sampai..wow..org ramai sgt..seolah mengambarkan betapa sedapnya lah food kat situ kan..atau mungkin org suka suasana tempat tu kot....nice place lah..

air tembikai laici dan belimbing catz bagi markah 9/10

kerabu mangga kegemaranku 6/10 (sebab pedas sangat)

telur bistik 7/10

ikan 3 rasa 2/10 (tak sedap langsung..sorry! cuma rasa halia..)

sup campur 7/10

kailan ikan masin 5/10

sotong bakar 4/10 (ni sotong bakar ke?)

kalau tgk markah yg catz bagi..boleh le imagine kan..best ke tak best tempatnya..or maybe ada benda lain yg sedap..we dont know..tah le..and saira not recommend me to order the tomyam coz the tomyam here is sweet..so sapa tak suka manis2 tuh definately cant take it..oh..catz sgt suka kerabu mangga..mmg favourite..mana2 pi mmg suka order..tapi kat sini..i think the kreabu taste is ok..cuma jadi kureng coz they put too much cili api..and rasanya menjadi tak balance..tersangt pedasss!!!...tercungap2 aku makan..and i supposed that is not rasa kerabu mangga yg betul..kan..coz byk kali juga makn tempat lain sedap...so here definately fail..sorry..!

ikan 3 rasa taksedap langsung..cuma rasa halia yg kuat.fail!.telur bistik..ok le..kailan pun biasa je..and tak sedap sgt..dan paling fail ialah sotong bakar..they cut the sotong, put in the aluminium foil (with ginger slices)..and put on the fire i guess..so takde rasa apa..tak best...yg paling best..drinks.. mmg betul-betul pekat dan sangat sedappp!!

so we chit chat..baut ketupat barang 5-6 biji...and pastu balik..hem..walau makanan kureng..oklah..i enjoy the night..nice friend.. wut else i need...

Spaghetti with asparagus

Malam tadi, malas sgt nak masak..dah pukul 9 lebih baru perasan yg the last food pop into my mouth was seketul burger yg comel, for lunch.
Magic..mcm tak lapar...heeee....
so udah-udahnya, aku gatal gak tangan nak masak...so ku pikir2 apa benda nak masak ni..rasa nak makan pasta lagi...(oh tidak..aku kemaruk mkn spaghetti kah setelah saira kata aku masak spaghetti sedap sgt..the best she ever eat..kkkekekeke)....kembang idong aku japs..

so i open the fridge and...taraaa.... i got minch meat, asparagus, cherry tomato...
aku rebus spagetti-asingkan
rebus asparagus (celur sekejap)- asingkan.
aku buat meatball (minch meat+bwg kuning+tepung jagung+salt) -then buat bulat2, goreng dgn sedikit minyak..
Then aku tumbuk 3 ulas bawang putih yg besar..tumis2 dlm minyak yg sedikit, masukkan sos tiram dan sedikit air. Masukkan cherry tomato (belah 2), meat ball, asparagus dan akhir sekali masukkan spagetty..
so tu le hasilnya, tak semenggah betul tgk meat ball yg mcm tak berapa ball...
Tapi rasanya..sangat sedappp.. (betul..tak tipu). Asparagus tu rasa crunchy bila digeget..overall sedap gak le...(perasan japs..)

dan bunga-bunga pun berguguran

Ini adalah pemandangan sekitar office ku di kala ini..aku suka tgk bunga-bunga gugur tuh...cantik..kuning keemasan..Atas pokok

Bawah pokok

Atas bumbung kabin

Bawah pokok lagi..

Aku pun tak tau apa nama bunga ni..sapa tau?
