Sayur lemak petola dan sambal tempe

 Teringin sangat nak makan sayur lemak putih petola campur udang.

Malas nak masak mulanya siap pegi kedai makan, gerai untuk cari sayur lemak ni tapi tak jumpa..

The solution is beli petola dan segala bahan.

oh other than sayur lemak, i also craved for sambal tempe.

so masak sayur lemak dan buat sambal tempe yang simple...sedapnyaaa (kejinya memuji masakan sendirik)

sayur lemak petola dengan udang..masakan rumah adalah yang tersedap

sambal tempe..

 ikan masin goreng

 a complete meal..dimasak dengan penuh kasih sayang  (ni chef mail yang cakap)...

Alhamdulilah untuk rezeki ini. Lazat.

Disember...

End of December..

December is a very busy month for me..

Conference, exhibition, field work, talk, reports..

no time for holiday-yeah, i work on Christmas as well (how i wish to have a perfect vacation at the end of the year) .

when one of my fren whatsapp me, " oh catz...i'm now in London...then will head to prague...paris...bla..bla.."

i have a mix feelings..better to keep myself busy i think..

hey at least i have better things to do in my life..! don't cry..

My December start with conference.

I was one of the invited speaker and i have difficulty to prepare my slides presentation. i was really down and i dont know why, just not in the mood perhaps..

i really forced myself to get it done and woke up at 3 am to get the idea, put in the slides and yeah..done around 6.30 am . God knows how i struggled with my feelings  and work.

 

I was the first speaker after the keynote session, and it was good. Thank God. I don't have problem with the presentation, just that i was not in the mood. And the good thing is when you met new people, sometimes it automatically could change you. I met new friends from different organization, universities etc. Changing idea and brainstorming with people who used to work with me even though we are in different organization keep me going. Conference also means free food. But this time, the food was not really good (they served petai and put it on buffet table and the smell was so strong..pelik. ok..i like petai , but this one smells strange), and other than that just so -so...

or maybe we were busy talking during lunch with old and new frens , so we dont care much on food, and i dont even care for desserts, nothing interesting, boring.

so, back from the 1st day of conference, i went to the famous satey willy with a friend.

i had satey willy few times, and since they appeared on JJCM tv3 people was super ramai. But my friend and i were agreed that the taste was not good as before. entah..macam a bit tasteless and not perfectly cook like wut we usually had.

haha..gift that i got from conference, and they pay is good (yey!)

second day of conference

i hate to drive to KL in the early morning, but it was really good to be away from office..hik.

 

another free food....

 and at the end of the day, i reward myself with durian..

durian kampung with sweet, lemak, bitter taste..yummeh..

and another event of the week was this..

nasi and seni

i tell you, the food here were awesome..!

kah-kah..

kih-kih ( i dont know what to describe)..

chef adu back to London already..nice to meet u chef!

and presenting to you, the champion of MCM season 2, miss Izyan. Oh, she is tall and friendly, congrats Izyan.

Good luck chef in what ever u do..i hope u will be appeared in masterchef  celebrity Malaysia season 2.

and ..i like to be away from office..yeah..work, but not in the office (sambil jalan-jalan....mak sukaaa)...

:))

Big Bad Wolf 2012 : MIECC (7 - 23 Disember 2012)

Yeah..Big Bad Wolf datang lagi!!!

The World's Biggest  book sales katanya..

This year berlangsung di Mines Convention Centre, Seri Kembangan dari 7 -23 Disember 2012.

Aku pegi di saat akhir. Tak ada masa tapi try jugak cari masa, kalau tidak tentu rasa menyesal untuk memborong buku pada harga diskaun dari 75%-95%.

Rasanya mungkin akan mengigau tidur tak lena kalau terlepas peluang...nak tunggu tahun depan lama lagi.

(walau pun keluar statement : Beli banyak-banyak tu baca ke??) eh baca ..baca...

Tadi masa kat airport aku bawa 3 buah buku, sementara nak fly sempat baca 1, isi masa. Dalam flight baca separuh lagi... (tapi terus turned off nak baca sebab cuaca tak elok, duk turbulence sajok, terus mak ketakutan, keras aku. buku aku jatuh kat kaki, kerasss aku siap baca doa macam-macam. heran baca news last week, katanya Sammy Vell00 tak rasa apa-apa bila kapal terbang yg dia naik dari Indi@ mengalami masalah siap drop 30 ribu kaki u ols, ala-ala free fall...dia cakap " saya tak rasa apa2" . hebatnyaaaa... aku duk gegar2 cam naik roller coaster ni pun dah ketakutan tahap ultra lapan. ilmu apa dia pakai ni..ke ilmu pasrah memasrah ...).

Jauhnya aku melencong. terngumpat encik sammy pulak.

Aku janji dengan kawan aku, pegi lepas subuh sebab weekends hari hari terakhir ni BBW bukan 24 jam.

Konon nak pegi malam pukul 12, tapi ada dinner and meeting habis lewat, so baik balik rumah jumpa bantal je lah.

Sebelum pegi aku sarapan sesiap. Jumpa kawan aku kat parking MIECC tu dan terus serbu ke Hall BBW.

 reason pegi awal pagi supaya tak stress redah jem nak masuk area MINES tuh...senang nak parking (RM3/entry).  kawasan ni lepas pukul 10 aku rasa jem dia tahap hazabedah. lagipun pegi pagi tak yah nak berlaga-laga nak pilih buku...santai-santai gituh.

Woooooo...lautan buku. Sampai tak tau nak mula dari mana.

Masuk je dah nampak buku Nigela, buku jamie Oliver...

Oh this year, pengajaran dari BBW tahun lepas, sampai tayar troli aku terpeleot tu kan, so this year aku bawak beg tarik terus.

Nampak buku berkenan je terus sumbat masuk beg..tarik... Ha..senang kau kiah.

Kawan aku yang kononnya " eh..i ikut you je..jalan-jalan"  tapi dia pun over jugak akhirnya.

Entah apa dia belek lama gila kat section buku kanak-kanak tuh entah le....nak kata ada anak, aku rasa anak tekak je yg dia ada, tapi belek buku budak-budak mengalahkan ada anak 7 orang. Banyak gak dia beli..ha..sekotak kau..siap tumpang beg aku sebab kotak dia kena rembat sapa tah.

Aku rasa normal lah tu..yang tak normalnya kalau dia tak beli apa-apa, ha tu ye..mungkin something wrong somewhere at round about.

Rambang mata u ols....

lautan buku

Bila duduk dalam ni, tak sedar masa berlalu pantas..aku masuk dekat2 nak pukul 6.50 pagi... then aku rasa macam belum lama, sekali mak tgk jam..hah???  pukul 10.30 pagi dah?? 

patut le orang dah start ramai.

so spare another  hour, round..round..belek buku, amik letak..amik letak...dekat pukul 12 gak baru bayar.

Masa tu rasa lapar nya..gigil gitu.

isi beg catz

ni kat area cashier, masa beratur nak bayar sempat amik gambar..kih. Aksi halau-halau lalat.kih.

walaupun orang ramai, tapi staff BBW sangat effisien .  cepat je derang kira, and they are very helpful,

aku serah je beg, pepandai lah derang nak angkat beg tuh..sort harga buku dan kira dan masukkan semula dalam beg. ko hulur duit je Jah....

nak christmas ni memasing pakai topi santa claus tu..comel-comel je..siap ada pakai eksosri cam tanduk apa tah..

dan derang ada jual macam-macam benda mcmm t-shirt. lawa gak...spend lebih 200 dlm satu resit dapat diskaun 25% utk t shirt, tapi aku tak beli pun..

masa nak balik ni tgk wah..org berduyun datang. gila meriah...ada yang kali ke dua , kali ke tiga dan kali ke 4...hah...aku rasa masing-masing dah boleh buat library kat rumah.

puas hati? No! esok nak pegi lagi...hahhahaha

Keluar je dr MIECC, jalan kaki ke mines shopping Mall. Lunch at Nandos. Kawan aku ni 1st time pi MINES soping mall, so dia jakun gila tgk ikan sambil makan. Ikan dlm canal tu kan besar-besar..uiii..geram tengok.

Then pi naik bot tuh round tasik.

cantiknya ikan...u ols boleh beli fish food dgn pengendali boat tu, so boleh feed ikan-ikan ni...cantik-cantikk....

 ada angsa cantik...

vroooooooooommmm................

lepas naik bot, pegi makan takoyaki sambil tengok demo..terus rasa nak beli acuan takoyaki tu, 

masalah nya kau buat ke nanti kiahhh????

 

octopus takoyaki

 

 pi tgk show barby..sempena christmas..

 end of the show...

Then sebelum balik rumah pegi kajang, minum dgn another fren, ada pesta satay katanya. Akan ada pertunjukan satey terpanjang..pftttttsss...malas pulak nak tunggu satay tu, so balik je lah.

Balik rumah, apa lagi...masa untuk membelek hasil tuaian BBW..seronok...
