Allah alone knows...

"...But you may hate a thing which is good for you, and love a thing which is bad for you.  And (remember) that Allah alone knows (all these things) but you do not know."

10 things I hate about you

Courtesy: intanzalani.com

I hate the way you talk to me

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car.

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots and

the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick.

It even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you're always right.

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you made me laugh,

even worst when you make me cry.

I hate it when you're not around and

the fact that you didn't call.

But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you,

not even close, not even a little bit,

not even at all.

p.s. Thanks Lisa for sharing this...how it reminds me of our zaman remaja riang, heheh.
I super loike! =))

If

If you can keep your head when all about you 
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; 
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, 
But make allowance for their doubting too; 
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, 
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, 
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating, 
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;


If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";


If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

Suddenly, my heart skipped a beat

I lost count on how many times Mak mentioned his name during Raya.
And that doesn't include how many times she talked about him to me and how many times the name slipped out of her mouth for somebody else's.

But last Friday's conversation between she and a friend was a real shocker.
I was there too, listening.  Dumbstricken.

Reflexively, my mind did a quick recall.

A few months back, this friend asked me to come along to borrow something from him.

Dhuh Jid! Pick-up speed level Intel Celeron!

Hmm... :-|

Coconut Blossom

My most favourite delicacies for Eid this year.




Malam raya, my wee brother brought home 3 boxes full, order dengan kawan katanya.  Buka kotak...tengok rupa, cium bau, terus terkenang balik zaman sekolah rendah dulu...


OMG...Mak pernah buat kuih ni! Dan rasanya sangat nostalgic...lemak santan, wangi pandan... =P~




Just imagine, kat KL baru meletup orang buat jual, padahal for the 1st time kitorang makan, belasan tahun yang lalu...with recipe recommended by Cik Yam, my Singaporean aunty.

Mak dengan segera menyelongkar koleksi resipi dia.


Resipi hilang.




Raya pertama, dapat 3 versi resipi sekaligus: 2 from Cik Pah and 1 from Cik Yam (according to her, this kuih is really popular in Singapore).




Akhirnya, 200+ biji berjaya siap semalam. =))

Heartless

Don't blame me for being heartless


For it was your own doing, friend


Don't blame me for walking away


For you wasted the chances that I gave




I bleed, I rise, I move on


Leaving the dark trails behind




For once good, just let me have my peace of mind...

My 1st homemade mac and cheese

Tiba-tiba pagi tadi kecur sangat terkenangkan mac and cheese.  Terus mencari-cari resipi online, and my search for a few good ones berjaya jugak.  =))


Simple but yummy indeed.

  
Actually, I planned to have this for dinner, but it ended up being my late night snack.  Still hot from the microwave oven. 

And I had 2 portions of this much... =P

Eid Mubarak

Makanya dah confirmedlah kita raya Jumaat ni kan? =)


Dengan kesempatan yang ada ni,  Salam Aidilfitri kepada semua...tak kiralah yang jauh mahupun dekat, tua atau muda, yang lama atau baru je kenal...mohon maaf atas segala silap dan salah tutur kata mahupun perbuatan...

Apakah?

Dreamed of getting married to an indian guy who was (in that dream) also  a relative to 2 guys whom i knew well...Malays pulak tuh!

Apakah?

*spooky + trauma*
