~housewife~

Colourful bracelets of Sarawak

My second week in Sarawak.. life have been quite mundane since nicah went back home.. everyday, woke up, make breakfast, my laling pegi keje.. then menyapu2, kemas2, basuh kain, jemur kain.. then stat masak lunch.. my laling balik lunch (^^), duk termenung sambil berpura2 wat keje sekolah (:p) wat kuih sket2 for tea n pk nk masak ape for dinner.. then, my laling balik, dia kuar main volley ball or whatever-games-they-have, n me kuar jogging, balik masak dinner, maghrib, dinner, isyak, then dh ngantuk smb pk nk masak apa for bekfes.. haha.. mind you, isyak is at 730pm.. huh.. malam sgt blur xtau nk wat ape. . n to think that my whole life ambition since young is to be a housewife! huhu... maybe part-time housewife shud be ok.. need to find a job asap! (OK.. Ok... my thesis x siap lagi.. dush!)

Most of the time, line internet sgt slow or x dpt langsung =(.. this morning its exceptionally laju.. (thats why instead of jemur kain, i'm sitting here blogging.. hoho).. nway, last week we went to Bintulu, melawat Adtec Bintulu that are supposed to siap end of this year (which is now).. but it seems no where near completion..


Adtec Bintulu

So, selagi x siap, we'll be staying in Miri.. n call this place "home".. No complaining what so ever though.. its a very spacious apartment, 3 bedrooms n 2 washrooms,complete with furniture n he had bought all the electrical appliances n fill the kitchen for me =)

Healthy Life

back from Conference on Wellness 2010 at UDM. Lucky I only present poster instead of oral.. got this nasty cold and sore-throat since friday night.

The main take home msg from UCW '10 are:

The prevalence of chronic non-communicable diseases are increasing. compared to the contagious diseases, more and more people found themselves with life-style related diseases (diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, cancers).

Obesity is on rise with alarming rate. Asian has higher body fat composition compared to Caucasian with similar body mass index (BMI), hence current cut-off point of overweight (25) is not suitable for Asian. There has been argument to establish a new range of BMI for Asian (normal 18.5-22.9, and overweight >23).

Prof. Rabidarjeet (IPPT,USM) had suggested the "prescription" of exercise to maintain health. the doctors are encouraged to "prescribe regular exercise" for patients, and the results can be obtained after 4-6 weeks. exercise should be done continuously (without stopping) for at least 10mins to be effective. the MOH 10,000 steps per day campaign is equivalent to walking for 3-5km/day.

1 in 20 women is at risk of developing breast cancer, regular self-check should be done. high body fat and diet high in fat and protein will increase the risk as fat n protein stimulate tumor growth. yearly pap smear are 'mandatory' to prevent cervical cancer.

Prevention is cheaper than cure. health promotion should be done more vigorously, so that the country wont suffer from spending billions and billions of money to treat un"cure"able diseases.

Wellness = appropriate nutrition intake + regular exercise. WHO releases that 2.7 million death are attributed to diet low on fruit and vegetable alone (19% being gastrointestinal cancer).

and lastly, wellness also include mental health @ spiritual wellbeing. being accepting, harmony, forgiving, grateful, and sincere; all lead to spiritual wellness. the guideline is already there- illustrated in the al-Qur'an and As-Sunnah.

**** have a healthy and happy life, everyone!****

** the poster i presented. only from a small retrospective study that we did in USM.. not from my master's research =)

new pg room ^^

after nearly a year being a master student, finally, got my own table and a place in post-grad room.. the school open a new post-grad room (the current one is really2 crowded).

my table.. baru hari ni stat duduk. x start men'chomey'kan lagi..


the still-empty room. kiri kanan xde orang.. so, my beg parking kt kerusi org lain.. hehe.. at this moment, baru ada 4 org penghuni tetap.. so kami duk bising2 dlm ni wat mcm umah sendiri..

but, even after more than a year here, i still miss my old uni. *sigh~~ missing my old lab.. my friends n colleagues back at Otago.. the learning system, the facilities, and the 'smoothness' of lab works..

KTMB


i LOVE naik train yg ada katil.. teringat dulu masa 1st year, teringin sgt nk naik train yg ada katil (Tengganu xde train), sanggup naik bas ke KB, then naik train ke KL.. haha.. that time nk gi kacau geng2 kt IMU.. so ke KB jumpa 'mak' Seri, then naik train sama2 ke KL ^^

Skrg, as my in-laws kt Segamat, dgn berbahagianyer naik train.. hehe... tp, kene beli awal2, kalau x katil sold-out.. naik train yg kerusi is a nightmare (i'm exaggerating.. but, it's horrible!).. from wakaf bharu to Segamat, katil bawah will cost you RM47 one-way. katil atas murah skit, around 40-42inggit.

add pics in the couch. very low quality one.. my camera hp dh at the edge of dying.. huhu~


my bed, no 12 (bersepah as usual)

nmpk view kampung2 di pedalaman di pagi hari. in some ways it makes you appreciate what you have in life. i cant imagine having to live in a very-very really rural area (did i stress the 'ruralness' enough? ;p sgt2 hulu pedalaman..)

inside view

i usually bring some novels with me.. but always susah nk baca, coz naik je, terus traik langsir n bergelap2 malas nk bersosial ngn org lain. on the way balik (after few times travel lingby train), baru realized ade lampu kecik rupanyer at the corner.. sabo je laa..

rows of beds
bila tutup langsir, you hardly know whether there r people inside.

katil atas kecik sikit


ketapi @ wakaf bharu

train all the way to s'pore..

** cuti sekolah nk naik train gi Kulai tgk kimi ^^

i'm a nerd

aim to finish all my lab work this week.. marathon lagi..

tgh2 wat vitamin D analysis, tgk2 reagent x cukup.. =( tertekan jugak, tp cepat recover dgn redha. got the manual with the kits, so xtau reagent only enough for 48 duplicates. hence need to order another kit from german which usually takes 2 whole months (due to USM nyer complicated purchasing procedures.. the company only took a week to deliver the kit).. n it's also means another 3thousands ringgit from our budget. luckily we have enough grant. some of my friends who enrolled at the same time with me haven't even got her grant approved.

nothing to write, but sbb blog ni dh bersawang2, so here i'm, blabbing away..

owh... usm block facebook starting today!! yg ni mmg pure tertekan.. so basicly terputus hubungan with outside world. i'm becoming a pure nerds. b4 this already 'half-nerdy'.. bgn pagi, mandi, siap2, masuk lab samp ptg, then blk umah, tgk keje sekolah kalu rajin, tgk tv kalu ada citer best, ko 11 tido. it's been months since my last visit to wakaf che yeh, n my last shopping experience was b4 raya, n my major hangout was with my supervisors. how's that? qualified for a nerd status @@

**dh 3 minggu x balik umah..but a bit traumatized by the summons.. the police do love to saman me :(

Kejap je dh seminggu syawal (selamat Hari raya 6 abah =).. abah dh abih pose 6, anak2 sehari pun x stat pose lagi.. huhu... ) few jemputan kenduri kawin, ada yg dtg umah n mewajibkan pergi.. huhu... so terasa sgt serba salah nk pergi yg mana.. kalau semua dekat2 sini, blh laa pergi semua.. so, afwan kerana x dpt memenuhi semua jemputan.. sy iringkn doa barakAllahulakuma..


dh habis raya, kene kembali ke dunia yg nyata.. fail2 keje sekolah menunggu (tidak!!!! huhuhu).. mlm esok nk kene email abstract.. 2minggu ni (since b4 raya) duk ngadap paper, tp cuma 1 page yg berjaya ditaip.. die.. huhu... bad girl, awe.. bad girl...

but, i work best under pressure.. so.. gambatte!! chaiyok2!!

buku2 resepi tolak tepi dulu..

ps: thank you to my x-students yg dtg memenuhkan rumah..its great to see you guys again (altho tergezut tgk ramai ngat, takut x cukup makanan..) dh besar2 semua.. hehe..

al-Fatihah~


Sometimes we take things for granted..

The life that we had..
The loved ones around us..
The money that never seems enough..
The clothes that we wear..
People always wanted more of everything, anything..
Rarely, we looked around..
Look at those in need..
Look at those who had less..
Look at those who struggle to live..- yet never once complaining


Today, I went to Puteri Harapan. It’s been a weekly routine since I moved here. Sometimes twice or trice per week. Had planned to go n meet my anak2 usrah since Wednesday, but was caught up with other social obligations.

Went to buy some sampul duit raya and some cookies first. I want to bake some cookies for them, but too preoccupied with other stuff, so main ngelat and bought some choc chips cookies in fancy boxes instead (later I realize that my choc chip cookies taste a lot better). Arrived, greeted by those kids that always seems excited when they see me (I always wonder, why.. I hardly memorized their names… =( sorry.. but it’s not my fault, there are more than 100 of them!).

Asked for angah, but she went out with the warden. So, asked whether Dillah was there, and was told that she already went back home. The girl said “emak dia kan dah takde”.. and I blur-ly asked “emak dia gi mane?”. . her mom died. Hit by a car while crossing the road. My sweet Dillah, always the most punctual one in usrah, and always the 1st completed her homework, never once she missed my spm English class.. my sweet Dillah who had suffered the lost of a father, whose life had been so difficult, yet never giving up.. now, she lost her mother.

The 1st time I went to her home was because her mom was sick, but didn’t want to be warded.. “takdo oghe nk jago hok bongsu”.. (no one to look after) her 12year-old brother. Her eldest sister is still in college, and her elder brother is still studying somewhere. The house was in a really ‘dhaif’ state.. her mum worked as a kitchen helper during the day, and sewing clothes when she had time. I remember cautiously stepping on the floor as it creaked under my foot.. here and there you can see holes straight to the ground. Today, I went to her home for the second time, greeted by some unfamiliar face –her uncle-. She’s still in her praying cloth. Still being strong, still smiling when she saw me. And it crosses my heart: the thought, why? she had suffered enough. . “Allah uji sebab sayang.. Allah uji sebab dia mampu hadapi..” I said that in my heart over and over again..

Silently, I pray.. May Allah gives her patients to face the test, May Allah gives her strength to carry on..

Al-Fatihah~

Convert or not to convert~

my 2nd milestone for biochemical analysis is in Dec, but, right now, there's only 1 analysis left. had just received my serum vit D kits, n iA aft raya holiday, i'll completed all my lab work n start focusing on the statistical analysis and writing up my thesis. it seems like i'll completed all my research and at least half of my thesis within 1 year.. so, am entitled for conversion.

b4 this, semangat berkobar2 nk convert phd.. sbb fikir nnti senang, xyah nk pening2 dh nk re-apply kt uni.. my supervisor pun dh start kasi journal2 utk dibaca for phd proposal.. but lately (not that recently.. this has been going on for quite sometimes) i just feel like packing up my stuff and move.. there's nothing wrong with uni, but sometimes i get too tired of traveling. being away from my family is one thing, but being away from my husband is a major thing. most of my money goes to the flight tickets to KL and for the petrol to travel home during weekends. money is a lame excuse, it's not that i'm having any financial difficulties or anything.. i just don't feel like having a pjj anymore..

kusut~

** looking at the journal without any progress since yesterday.. n keep flicking through the ad for rental apartment in gombak.. saya.nak.pindah.

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, diwajibkan kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan ke atas orang yang terdahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu bertaqwa" [Al-Baqarah : 183]


Ahlan ya Ramadhan..

hari ni my uncle will pick up the "imam muda" =) yearly routine since i was in form 3.. menjelang ramadhan, if my dad's home, he n my uncle will go to Madrasah Kubang Bujuk, picking up 2 hafiz to lead our tarawikh prayer.. our surau might be small, but Alhamdulillah, for all these years, there's still jemaah at the surau, and once per week, usually ada ustaz dtg mengajar.

While i'm home (for a week), better prepare enough food for a month's 'guests' =) my dad had remind me to cook for the imams (as usual, both should be around 14-17.. sejuk ati their parents, kecik2 lagi dh hafaz 30 juzu')..

cooking.. cooking...~~ the least that i can do..

semoga Allah berkati setiap amalan kita.. insyaAllah..

test.. and failure~


"sabar itu pada permulaan".. a simple hadith that is very hard to follow.. i always lost my temper easily. but the worse is, i tend to let the whole world know when i'm angry =(

this time, i failed His tests again.. i didnt managed to control my anger at the car agent and also the insurance company for being soo slow in their work. i should have know that He granted rewards for those who are patients.. yet, i wasted His love for me by being short-tempered.. pardon me O' Allah.. grant me with patients and redha~

Doa elak gangguan makhluk halus

maksudnya: Dan Kami perlihatkan segala amal yang mereka kerjakan, lalu Kami akan jadikan amal itu (bagaikan) debu yang berterbangan (al-Furqan,25: ayat 23)

pagi tadi dgr Tanyalah Ustaz kt tv9.. very interesting topic on Jin & Makhluk Halus.. ustaz share doa2 utk ubat santau, and all those penyakit2 yg disebabkan oleh gangguan makhluk halus. byk ayat2 yg ustaz kasi, but he said this is the shortest one (and hopefully easiest to remember ^^)..

baca untuk prevention and also for curing. insyaAllah.. apa2 pun tawakkal pada Allah..

Minda yang tidak bertamadun


Being a frequent traveler, I've seen various drivers' attitudes. it's true that i'm not a very 'disciplined' driver myself, but i tried my best to respect other road users.

today, coming back to USM (i travel back home once per fortnight) there's this Perodua Rusa in front of me. from junction aft tasik kenyir, there's this long single line road, which laluan memotong every 5km kot. because there's a lorry in front, so merangkak laa sikit. i'm not a very patient driver, so start je laluan memotong, terus gave signal n msk ke kanan. si perodua van kt depan nih, org dh stat potong, sesuka hati dia je masuk kanan gak.. nasib baik x laju sgt, kalau x memang cium la bumper die. i gave him lampu tinggi sekali, tp dia wat derk n masuk kanan jugak. so terpaksa laa saya beralah n slow kn kereta. they were in front of me till nk masuk bandar permaisuri. tp maybe sbb i gave them lampu tinggi b4 this, so dieorang bengang kot. owh, there're 2 guys in the van. it's a company van, tp xde pulak tulis nama company apa, cuma tulis alamat n no tepon je. the one at the passenger seat in front kurang ajar gler. dia baling bekas air (plastic cup) ke belakang. pastu gelak2.. then lempar plastik air pulak.. sakit nyer hati.... sbb sakit jati sgt, i dialed nombor tepon yg tulis kt belakang van dieorg. konon2 nk complain kt manager dieorg laa, tp one number (09-6175145) busy sokmo, the other (09-6175146) xde org angkat..

sbb geram sgt, salin no plate WMY2560 nk ngadu kt JPJ. siap amik gmbr lagi.. huhu.. (sy kalau marah mmg menakutkan)..



ps: berjaya tepon the 2nd number just now.. prpn yg jwb tepon tu ckp that van has not arrived, but sy mengadu dgn hebatnyer.. hoho..

Roti Jala ^^

at last! i managed to use my not-so-newly bought acuan roti jala.. but biasa laa.. budak baru belajar, kan.. mcm2 rupa atas kuali.. haha.. kalau kurang sabar, rasa2nyer nk wat lempeng je.. huhu..here's my 'jalaan' yg ade laa jugak rupa jala tu..


guna resepi dlm mama nyer buku koleksi resepi 'chekgu2 tepces' =)

4 c of water (i substitute with 1 milk + 3 c water)
3 c flour
1 egg
a pinch of salt
yellow colouring

- blend everything ^^ - the whole recipe wont fit your blender. letak separuh2, then combine in a bowl.
- greese ur pan, then 'jala' atas kuali. xperlu balik kan.. when the colour changed, then it's cooked.

n.. this is for breakfast =D (too hassle nk wat gulung2, so i just lipat je terus time dlm kuali.. haha)



ps: my cheesecake brownies was way too sweet! need to alter to recipe n try again. huhu..

Crispy Fried Chicken ^^


Home sweet home ^^
weekend ni usrah cancel, so subuh2 hari lagi dh bertolak balik kemaman.. hihi.. (kalau x aft usrah baru balik..)

n as usual, balik kampung equals to lepas geram di dapur. haha.. saya budak gemok..

last time, i read about using batter or coatings to prevent moisture loss + retaining the flavour while frying. n bread crumbs are widely used to increase the crunchiness of fried food. so, balik ni, bersedia dgn sepeket fresh bread crumbs ^^

for lunch we had crispy fried chicken, dalca kari ayam, and nasi ala2 nasi minyak but i added some curry inside.. haha.. just to match the flavour of the dalca ;p

here is my ayam goreng yg best, straight from kuali. i used breast fillet (remove all the skins, n thinly sliced)


what i used:

chicken breast
tepung serbaguna (tepung ayam kentucky, or tepung ayam goreng)
1 egg - beat
bread crumbs

the way i cooked it:

- gaul2 ayam dlm tepung
- celup dlm telur
- gaul dgn bread crumbs
- deep fried, medium heat, until brown ^^

and here's the whole dish ^^



sbb saya gemok, so semua org pun kene gemok jugak.. hahaha.. jom makan!!

tonight's challenge: cheesecake brownies.. ^^ i'll post the recipe kalau sedap =)



Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Things that i managed to buy (finally!!):

250g cream cheese
200ml whipped cream
2 eggs

Thuma'ninah dalam Solat


Alhamdulillah.. we started our morning tazkirah dlm lab ^^

moga Allah memberi kekuatan utk istiqamah. last time one of my friends raised a topic on thuma'ninah in solat. a thing that for us, often being neglected. and as it is mentioned in 4 rukun dlm solat (RUKUK DENGAN THUMAKNINAH, IKTIDAL DENGAN THUMAKNKNAH, SUJUD DUA KALI DENGAN THUMAKNINAH, DUDUK ANTARA DUA SUJUD DENGAN THUMAKNINAH) tendency utk solat tidak sah kerana negligence ttg thuma'ninah sgt tinggi. i googled and found a very good acticle from "Hati Bening".

TIDAK THUMA’NINAH DALAM SHALAT

Di antara kejahatan pencurian terbesar adalah pencurian dalam shalat, Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,
“Sejahat-jahat pencuri adalah orang yang mencuri dari shalatnya.” Mereka bertanya, “Bagaimana ia mencuri dari shalatnya?” Beliau menjawab, “Ia tidak menyempurnakan ruku dan sujudnya.”( Hadits riwayat Ahmad, 5/310 dan dalam Shahihul Jami’ hadits no.997)

Meninggalkan thuma’ninah( Thuma’ninah adalah diam beberapa saat setelah tenangnya anggota-anggota badan, para ulama memberi batasan minimal yaitu sekedar waktu yang diperlukan untuk membaca tasbih. Lihat Fiqhus Sunnah, Sayyid Sabiq, 1/124 (pent).); Tidak meluruskan dan mendiamkan punggung sesaat ketika ruku’ dan sujud; Tidak tegak ketika bangkit dari ruku; serta ketika duduk antara dua sujud; Semuanya merupakan kebiasaan yang sering dilakukan oleh sebagian besar kaum muslimin. Bahkan, hampir bisa dikatakan, tak ada satu masjid pun kecuali di dalamnya terdapat orang-orang yang tidak thuma’ninah dalam shalatnya.

Thuma’ninah adalah rukun shalat, tanpa melakukannya shalat menjadi tidak sah. Ini sungguh persoalan yang sangat serius. Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,
“Tidak sah shalat seseorang, sehingga ia meluruskan punggungnya ketika ruku’ dan sujud.”( Hadits riwayat Abu Daud, 1/533, dalam Shahihul Jami’ , hadits no. 7224.)

Tak diragukan lagi, ini suatu kemungkaran. Pelakunya harus dicegah dan diperingatkan akan ancamannya. Abu Abdillah Al-Asy’ari berkata, “(Suatu ketika) Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam shalat bersama para sahabatnya, kemudian beliau duduk bersama sekelompok dari mereka. Tiba-tiba seorang laki-laki masuk dan berdiri menunaikan shalat. Orang itu ruku’ lalu sujud dengan cara mematuk,( Sujud dengan cara mematuk maksudnya, sujud dengan cara tidak menempelkan hidung di lantai. Dengan kata lain, sujud itu tidak sempurna. Sujud yang sempurna adalah sebagaimana disebutkan dalam hadits Ibnu Abbas, bahwasanya ia mendengar Nabi bersabda, “Jika seorang hamba sujud, maka ia sujud dengan tujuh anggota badan(nya); Wajah, dua telapak tangan, dua lutut dan dua telapak kakinya.” HR. Jama’ah, kecuali Al-Bukhari, Lihat Fiqhus Sunnah, Sayyid Sabiq, 1/124.) maka Rasulullah shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam bersabda,
“Apakah kalian menyaksikan orang ini? Barangsiapa meninggal dengan keadaan seperti ini (shalatnya) maka dia meninggal di luar agama Muhammad. Ia mematuk dalam shalatnya sebagaimana burung gagak mematuk darah. Sesungguhnya perumpamaan orang yang shalat dan mematuk dalam sujudnya adalah bagaikan orang lapar yang tidak makan kecuali sebutir atau dua butir kurma, bagaimana ia bisa merasa cukup (kenyang) dengannya?”(Hadits riwayat Ibnu Khuzaimah dalam kitab shahihnya, 1/332. Lihat pula Shifatu Shalatin Nabi, oleh Al-Albani hal 131.),

Zaid bin Wahb berkata, Hudzaifah pernah melihat seorang laki-laki tidak menyempurnakan ruku’ dan sujud(nya). Ia lalu berkata, “Kamu belum shalat, seandainya engkau mati (dengan membawa shalat seperti ini) niscaya engkau mati di luar fitrah (Islam) yang sesuai dengan fitrah tersebut Allah menciptakan Muhammad shallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam.”( Hadits riwayat Al-Bukhari, Fathul Bari, 2/274.)

Orang yang meninggalkan thuma’ninah ketika mengerjakan shalat, sedang ia mengetahui hukumnya, maka wajib baginya mengulangi shalatnya seketika dan bertaubat atas shalat-shalat yang dia lakukan tanpa thuma’ninah pada masa-masa lalu. Ia tidak wajib mengulangi shalat-shalatnya di masa lalu, berdasarkan hadits,
“Kembalilah dan shalatlah, sesungguhnya engkau belum shalat.”
