Raheel meets Mr. Barber

17 Sept 2012- Today in history... Raheel meets Mr. Barber for the first time! the last time touch Raheel's hair was about 1 1/2 years back when we do the "Upacara membotakkan Raheel". since then we let his hair grow as they please. haha.. rambut raheel tak berapa nak lebat pon.. but we really sayang rambut dia yang soft, silky and curl2 sket tu...

what make us decide to cut his hair?? urghhh! people always get confuse of his gender. dah terang2 anak aku tu pakai baju melayu pon orang buleh tanya "lelaki ke pompuan" menyakitkan hati sungguh! so to avoid further confusion and rasa tak elok pulak orang asyik ingat dia pompuan aje, kami pon decided to cut his hair (boy style!)

So, this is the story of the historical moment of raheel's life... hehehe..

his cheerful face with the long silky hair still attached!

the look from behind. panjang kan??

side view...

. ..and at the mamak barber shop, clasic punya yang ada benda merah pusing2 depan kedai tu... (lupe nak snap gambar benda tu) jeng jeng jengg...

Raheel keep his cool sat on the chair. sengih geli2 when mr barber put bedak around his neck. raheel refused when mr barber selimutkan dia, so dia potong rambut without puting the selimut on lah. tak pe... biar penuh rambut kat badan tu, balik boley terus mandi.. kan?

. ...and the process begins... at first raheel seems ok. with his "what's going on" face he sit still as mr barber run the machine through his head. but, the moment he saw his hair drop at his arm, immidiately he jumped from his seat. nasib bonda ada nearby to catch him. tekejut sangat2 kot dia tengok rambut  jatuh kat tangan dia.. sampai nangisss!! hahaha.. kecian Raheel.

 

and this scene continue... however mr barber tetap continue his job while Raheel nangis in bonda's arm... habis dengan bonda bonda pon penuh rambut!

this is how he is all the way home from the barber's shop. merajuk frust menonggeng! haha..

tapi once dah masuk rumah and ajak mandi, happy jerr dia. macam bukan dia jerr yang merajuk tadi.. huhu..

and this is his new hair!! nombor 8 punya mata machine



amboi look at his pose... ada gaya model tak?? haha...



now... barulah handsome anak bonda ni with short hairrrr!!!!! love love love!

Baked Mac and cheese chip's style

baked mac and cheese chip (blom sempat snap pict dan kena tebuk tupai.. hehe)

Yummy yummy.. Sejak mula puasa tak tau nape tetiba angin aku suke masak datang dgn menderu deru.  May be sebab aku ni over excited dgn adanya oven baru! Haha.. Maka inilah salah satu hasilnya. Macaroni and cheese yg dibaked dalam oven baru aku tu.. Haha.. Rupanya cantik (cantek ke??) and rasanya sedap! (mmg sedap!) Awww perasan aku nihhh.. Not bad for first trial.. Syabas chip! Nampaknye bakat memasak ko belom berkarat walopon jarang2 masak. Ape pon credit kpd sumber resepi yg aku dpt scr online. Kt mane aku dah tak ingt sbb main copy paste jerr..hihi.. Kalo mau ini dia resepinya yg aku dah modified ikut suka hati aku dgn bahan yg ada kt umah supaya dia jadik simple sangat! haha...

pastanya macaroni secukup2 nya..
mozarella cheese shredded punya

utk sos merah
daging cincang
bawang merah dan putih - hiris mcm biasa
sos spaghetti instant - aku guna preggo
cendawan butang dlm tin - hiris keping2
capsicum - dadukan ajerr
italian herb (ala... herba kering yang jual dlm botol cecomel tu..)

sos putih
mentega
tepung gandum
susu segar
salt and pepper

 semua bahan2 tu kuantiti nya aku main agak2 jerr ikut suka. tak de sukat2 punyerr.. haha..

so, macam biasa pasta mesti kena rebus dulu, taruk sikit garam and olive oil kemudian tos kan..

untuk sos merah tu tumis jer bawang pastu masukkan daging. agak2 daging dah masak tuang jer sos spaghetti tapi jgn byk sgt kang jadik kuah pulak. then masuk capsicum and cendawan. biar didih then tabur sket italian herb... siap!

pastu buat sos putih plak. cairkan mentega sampai bubble2 jgn sampai hangit. pastu tabur sket tepung gandum sambil kacau  2 3 menet pastu tuang susu secukup rasa. then salt and pepper. kacau kacau kacau sampai agak2 pekat sket. siap!!

pastu sapu bekas nak bakar ngn mentega pastu lapis2 kan pasta, sos merah, sos putih, pasta, sos merah sos putih... sampai abis. then renjis2 sket italian her and last skali tabur mozarella cheese sesuka hatimu... then bakar dlm oven 190 degree selama about 30 menet or sampai keju tu nampak keperang2an gituuu...

pastu ape lagi??? kita makan laaaaaa!! hehehe.. nyum2!!!!

oven, bakeware dan semangat membara!

Semangat membara sempena telah membeli oven aku pon pergi memborong barang2 untuk baking pada awal Ramadhan aritu... tengoklah gambo tu, itu antara barang2 yang aku beli mengikut nafsu yang agak terkawal. hahaha.. kalo tak kawal lagi banyak aku hangkut! memula tu ingat nak borong yang silicon punya, tapi mahal ler pulak... rasa membazir sbb aku nak guna pon sekali sekalauu.. hihi, so yang tu cukup lahhh.. siap belli container utk simpan barang2 tu..

poyo2 jer beli kan? macam nak baking selalu... tapi xpe, yang penting bila nak guna nanti (entah bila la agaknya?) benda tu dah ada... so far sepanjang Ramadhan ni ade la jugak aku guna banyak kali gak la... time bulan pose ni tak tau nape aku agak rajin sikit memasak... may b sebab semangat ada oven baru tu yang buat aku lagi berkobar2 try resepi2 baru yang guna oven! hahaha...

erm... gambo oven aku tak snap pulak... so amik web jer... taraa....!

inilah oven yang aku bangg2 kan itu iaitu pensonic punya brand yang buleh buat ayam golek2 tu... model AE-420N dgn capacity 42 liter! besau punyerr! haha.. seronok bila dah ada oven! actually dah lama sgt aku ngidam nak beli oven tapi asyik2 delay tak tau sebab ape... asyik rasa kedekut jer nak kuar duit beli oven tu sbb rasa nnt tak guna sgt pon.. tapi seminggu before puasa aritu aku telah mengetepikan rasa kedekut tu and beli jugak oven sambil berazam yang aku akan utilize oven tu cukup! biar berbaloi2!!

hahaha... dan aku berjaya menunaikan azam aku tu... setakat sebulan puasa ni oven tu telah bekerja dengan aktifnya! pertama sekali pastinya mencuba ayam golek! pastu cheese bake rice, pastu baked macaroni and cheese, pastu puding roti, pastu buffalo wing pastu buat kuih raya plak... hahahaha... seronok2!!! tak sia2 aku beli oven! hopefully pasni aku bertambah rajin la buat kuih... pastu buleh bukak bisness kannn?? hahaha!!

anyway, kalo perasan dalam gambo tu ada periuk kukus... yeahh.. itu aku beli semata2 sebab nak try buat kek lumut yang perlu dikukus! dan yang tu pon aku dah berjaya buat! yes!! memang tak sia2.... hehehe..

Lee Chong Wei oh Lee Chong Wei...

Aku ngn raheel bersama 28 juta rakyat Malaysia yang lain baru lepas menonton perlawanan akhir badminton olympic antara Datuk Lee Chong Wei dgn musuh tradisi Lin Dan. adoiii dari mula game sampai ke sudah jantung aku ni bagai nak gugur! huhu.. siap sorak2 Malaysia! Malaysia! lagi... Raheel pon ikut sorak jugak sambil sengeh2 tgk aku stress... mesti dia pelik, kenapalah bonda nih?? heheh..

terlalu besar harapan rakyat malaysia sandarkan pada Datuk Lee Chong Wei, dan bila pingat emas tu terlepas lagi, kecewa nya rasa nak guling2! bukan baskin robin free yang aku harapkan, bukan cuti umum yang diinginkan (errmmm ingin la jugak.. hehe) tapi kepuasan dan perasaan bangga bila akhirnya Malaysia dapat gold medal dlm olympic tu yang sangat2 diimpikan... tapi nak buat macam mana kan? belum rezeki lagi... Chong Wei dah main sungguh2 and aku rasa dia dh bagi all out. tapi mmg xde luck nak menang lagi.. aku rasa badi tak de ong dia lawan Lin Dan tu mmg sgt kuat lah! he needs to break the wall... bila sekali dia menang lawan Lin Dan, cayelah, lepas tu mesti dia tak kan kalah lagi dgn Lin Dan yang sombong tuh!

eiii memang nyampah aku tgk muka bongkak over confident Lin Dan bila lawan ngn Chong Wei. cara dia pandang Chong Wei tu macam dia nampak chong wei nih kecikkk jerr.. macam "alahh.. xde benda lah ko nih!, senang2 jerr aku nak makan ko.., world no. 1 konon.." gitulah aku rasa Lin Dan rasa pada Chong Wei (chewahh... hebat btol aku bleh rasa ape org lain rasa pd org lain) hehehe..

ape pon, kecewa rakyat Malaysia nih tak boleh nak bandingkan dengan rasa kecewanya Datuk Lee Chong Wei bila dia tak mampu nak bagi kemenangan untuk Malaysia. sedihh jer aku tgk dia terduduk lepas dia kalah tu... uhhh kesiann... pas ni nak kena berdepan dgn reporter plak, nak jwb soalan kenapa tak menang?? adoiii... kesian lahh..

nak nanges aku tgk scene ni..

what ever it is, tahniah jugak utk Datuk Lee Chong Wei!!! lain kali lawan Lin Dan, kasi smash sama dia okeyy??

mari kita nyanyi..

"Kalau engkau jatuh... jangan engkau lemah kerana hidup mengajar kita jangan cepat mengalahhh...."

anniversary @ Grand Lexis Port Dickson

Aku nak Sambung cerita pasal 17th May… hahaha.. I don’t care even if now is already july, aku nak cerita jugak! As I wrote on my previous entry about our 4th wedding anniversary ::HERE::
We always celebrate our anniversary on a vacation kan. As I promised, here are the stori mori at the grand lexis… there are 2 sides of stori. One the bad one, and another a good one.

Let start with the not so best to hear:

Few weeks before nak pegi, I have already called for reservation. Thank god, bilik memang banyak lagi because it wasn’t peak season. Sape jer nak check in on Thursday non school holiday pulak tu kan? So I reserve a room and in order to secure a room kita kena provide credit card details sampai cvv code belakang tu pon kita nak kena tulis kat form and fax to them. I don’t really agree on this, rasa concern and tak secure nak provide those information to them. So I paid cash instead. Payment thru cimbclicks jerr….

Before that, I have to wait for them to email the booking confirmation form. I expect them to email it immediately after our phone conversation (like always based on my previous experience with other hotels) , tapi rupenyer I have to wait 24hours for that. Siap aku kena call back sbb dah tunggu punya tunggu tak sampai2, dia pon tak mention to emel within 24 hours… so meaning to say reservation dia agak lembab la… and call pon sikit punya susah nak get thru… not so 5 star la… pas tu pulak, when they finally send the confirmation letter, they asked me to settle it immediately. Imagine ye, I received the emel on 30th April at 4.22pm and they mention on the emel “Kindly find the attachment for your reference. Please sign on the confirmation letter and send it back to us by 30th April 2012” mane sempat! Ko hengat keje aku ni ngadap benda alah ni aje?? So I have to call back and ask about the validity of the form if I were to sign it on 2nd May. Sbb 1st may kan public holiday… seb baek buleh… kalo tak aku nak kena tunggu another 24 hours plak kan for another confirmation letter!

So on 2nd May aku settle kan bayaran. And then pulak I requested for special arrangement since this is our anniversary vacation and I planed to astonish hubby with extended birthday surprise, during the phone reservation I’ve mention about it and the representative ask me to communicate through emel about this matter. So, I did as she says. I explain details about my plan and about what I need them to do. And on 3rd May dia reply will check and advise you accordingly. So I assumed they are working on my request tu la. So I waited for a solid week, and no response… kalo tak boleh, just reply and tell me that they are not able to fulfill my request, habis cerita kan! Ini tak reply2… ingat aku ni byk sgt masa nak follow up2… and I wasn’t request for their service for free pon! Sebab semangat nak surprise kan hubby I shoot another emel to them asking about my request. It was already 14th May only 3 days away from my check in date. Then they called me and explain itu.. ini… end up most of the arrangement buleh dibuat but there is one yang memang dah tak sempat nak buat, yang paling surprise plak tuh! Tulah! Korang lambat sgt respond! Tapi tak pelahh… birthday hubby pon aku dah celebtare kaw2 punya…

Summary: reservation grand lexis, slow and not efficient! Doesn’t reflects 5 star hotel status!

Now the best side:

Hotel dia memang superb! Ambiance memang relaxing and best! Best! Best! reception service pon bagus and friendly sgt. After checking in, we were brought to our room by buggy. Note that the room is quite far from the reception area.

I booked for a deluxe pool villa above water with glass panelled floor. Ini yang jadi favourite Raheel. Sibuk tengok fish (macam ada la kan..) hihi..

Once the door was open, jeng jeng jengg…. A birthday cake was waiting for hubby! Black forest cake yang sedap! Cuma not so presentable because they left the cake in the box. I expect the cake to be put on the table with lighted candle… hehe.. tapi ok laa.. after settle down then only we proceed to upacara memotong kek birthday hubby.

Let’s talk about the room. When I book for a room, the staff told me that deluxe room is quite small. But actually it isn’t that small… ok lah for our family yang bertiga je ni… bilik siap ada kitchen and spacious bathroom. And the best part is of course la the swimming pool. Cuma swimming pool agak kecik la… sekadar boleh sekali kuak dah sampai hujung… but ok lah… nice! Maybe if we go for a bigger room such as executive pool ke, then the swimming pool will be bigger. Tapi bigger room comes with 2 or 3 beds. Nak buat hape banyak2 bed?? The only room with 1 queen size bed is deluxe room..

Room interior nice and simple, Cuma aircond agak kurang sejuk. Usually hotel room kan sejuk tahap beku, but for this one ada sikit warm but comfortable la. Tido tak yah pon nak pakai selimut tebal tu…

Petang tu kami round2 around the villa area. Hwmmm… cantikkk… but if the sea is crystal bule lagi cantik! Tau2 je lah air kat port Dickson tu kan coklat keruhh.. hihi.. time nil ah aku nak terbayang kalau lah skrang ni kita kat Maldives… tak pon sekurang2nyer kat mabul island ke… huhu… best tuuuuuu!!

Hehe.. at night, dinner yang ditunggu2… candle light! Walopon ada Raheel si budak tasyebok, but we really enjoy our anniversary dinner. Dengan setting yang sungguh romantika tu… hihi.. rasa bahagia sungguh! The food also very nice! Nampak portion nya sgt kecik tapi kenyang tuhhhh..! nyum.. nyum…

Most of the time kat sana we spend by berendam dalam swimming pool. Tak cukup dengan pool dlm bilik, pool kat luar pon rendam jugak! The part yang buat aku excited is the water slides for kids tu. Tapi bonda jer yang excited lebih2, Raheel tak suke pon nak main dlm air tu… sibuk nak berkepit with bonda!

Anyway, paling best main air is time Raheel tido lah! Hihih… time ni lah his parents nak bermaharajalela! Hehehe.. kate swimming pool dalam bilik.. dah tengah malam pon kami bantai berendam lagi! Wahhh sungguh enjoy!!! The next day before balik pon sempat lagi main air! And I request extended checkout just so that kami bleh berendam lama2… hihih..

so, bila checkout time dah tiba, terpaksalah kami checkout…. Bye2 grand lexis!!!! Sweet memories we have with you! Hotel ni memang recommended lah for couple to have romantic getaway… serius! Best!!
