Kitchen

There is a clichéd expression, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach. But how to go about woman? I guess it should be the same...let go back to basics....its all about food and you never been wrong. Some people say it should be roses or presents, but some people believe it not always that way.

According to my counsellor sister, what woman need at this age of equality is understanding and also a man who's willing to share the household chores with his wife. My sister said that she's feel flatted when she saw her man in the kitchen (pssst sis, sushi ring the bell?).

I used to be a skillful man in the kitchen. But unfortunately my skill in the kitchen is deteriorating. Being away from home, teached me how to be independent in the kitchen. This is also what we call survival. About 5 years abroad, I need to prepare Malaysian diet for myself. Day to day experience make me good in the kitchen. But now, I was pampered by a woman call mum. Hehehhehe...my beloved mum! Her food is always the best! I can not resist it. That’s her secret to tie my dad for more than 30 years in the marriage I guess. My dad is a conservative but yet very helpful with other thing. He doesn't know how to cook at all. But he will help for example grind the coconut if my mum needs it.

But it's a healthy phenomenon where lots of man knows how to cook. The new age guys have gone the length of pampering their spouse with breakfast on bed (yuck...common on...ladies need to brush their teeth in the morning before breakfast..heheheh). As a matter of fact, work together is always a good thing.

"It is not how old you are, but how you are old. "

Tomorrow I will be 29. Thinking about my age, sometimes make me going berserk. Next year I will be 30…oh my God. Am I that old….uwaaaa. At this age I’m consider a mature old man. But it is contradict with my personality which sometimes childish. I still remember, my colleague whom I can call mother told me that I will only become mature when I get married. Well..it’s ok for me….I took it as compliment. Childish means still young…. young at heart.

I’m expecting not only birthday wishes but soalan cepu emas, "when are you getting married". I think I will answer it with a big grinning and no further comment. To be honest, I have no answer for that. I don’t even have a girlfriend and I’m not prepared to be a husband. I’m still enjoying my bachelor life in fact. There is a lot of thing I need to do before that. Maybe at the age 30 will be the right age…but who knows. It’s all faith. What I really care at the moment is trying very hard to get scholarship to further my study.

I will celebrate my birthday with my dad, we share the same date of birth. When I was a kid…I hate the fact of sharing with my dad, shared the birthday cake or even a present. (Terrible me!!!). But now, I am very proud and happy to celebrate with my dad. I share my happy moment with my dad. Maybe I will bring my dad out for lunch or dinner tomorrow …see first what is the arrangement. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY BELOVED DAD. MAY ALLAH BLESS YOU! This also goes to Lang @ Zamani Ahmad, SEMOGA DI RAHMATI ALLAH! Pssttt Lang, maybe we can celebrate birthday together in the future..hehehe.

"Age ain't nothin' but a number. But age is other things too. It is wisdom, if one has lived one's life properly. It is experience and knowledge. And it is getting to know all the ways the world turns, so that if you cannot turn the world the way you want, you can at least get out of the way so you won't get run over. " Miriam Makeba

Temporary

After quite sometimes my blog was facing error with the photos, its only today I had spare time to reorganise my blog. Nothing is permanent. It's the same thing with the fotopage. Out of sudden, I faced some problem with the photo, which I don't expect to happen. I had to upload my photos to the new host. I hope I wouldn’t encounter any problem after this or at least not so soon.

When you relate this with life, we are here also on the temporary basis. The present life is our training ground. The present life is a trial in preparation for the next realm of existence. Hereafter is our destination.

And they say: “What is there but our life in this world? We shall die and we live, and nothing but Time can destroy us.” But of that they have no knowledge: they merely conjecture: And when Our Clear Signs are rehearsed to them, their argument is nothing but this: they say, “Bring (back) our forefathers, if what ye say is true!”
(Qur'an 45 : 24-25)

Mengkarung

Last week, when I want to check letter in the mailbox, I was surprised with a welcome greet of a green creature! Uhhh..it’s a species of lizard which we call “Mengkarung” here. So, I rushed back to take my camera and take a few shoots. We had no chemistry, I even feel scared to get close to it. People always said that it could cause the hair loss if this creature jumps off to your hair. It is also believe that this creature also can cause blindness if it urine splash into your eyes. Maybe because of this believe since kid, its makes me not friendly to it..hehhehh…



Anyway, if anyone know the scientific name of this creature, let me know…its not iguana..right?

Al Fatihah

Last night, my aunty passed away after 2 weeks in coma. As believer, we let her go and let her rest in peace. ALLAH loves her more than anything.

"Verily, with ALLAH alone is the knowledge of the Hour. And HE sends down the rain, and HE knows what is in the wombs. And no soul knows what it will earn tomorrow, and no soul knows in what land it will die. Surely, ALLAH is All-Knowing, All-Aware. " 31:34

Sadaqah Al Fatihah to Arwah.

Al Fatihah.......
