Cendawan apa ni?

Ada kawan anak saya bagi cendawan ni. Dia kata mujarab untuk buat ubat macam-cama penyakit  So I follow the intructions and made a jar of the mushrooms. It tasted sour and just like air tapai gitu. Dah lama juga minum, entahlah belum nampak sangatapa-apa perubahan, Kena lama lagi minum agaknya tu. Anyway, i searched the web and i found this web. Let's share and try it.

Its Sunday again


How nice to wake up this Sunday morning. As you all know, it's the beginning of the school holidays. So there's no need to rush anyway. I woke up to the sound of commotion that the boys made.. Maklumlah ia orang dah biasa bangun pagi untuk ke sekolah, tak sekolah pun bangun awal jugalah. Jangan harap nak berlama-lama di katil lagi. Hisy, budak-budak ni memang suka memekak. Tengok kira kanan, baru aku sedar rupa-rupanya dah pukul 9.00 pagi. Masyaallah, terlepas Subuh aku ni. Macam biasa lah, pergi bilik air bersihkan badan sebelum menuju ke meja makan. Breakfast pun tak ready lagi. Hai, Ati ni pun terbabas jugak! She's my girl, my best friend, apa-apa yang dimasaknya, aku telan aje. Jengok ke bilik the other girls, Wani dan Baby, lagi teruk.. tak nampak muke die orang pun. Masih berselimut, mana nak nampak muka. Anak-anak dara zaman sekarang ni, tidor meninggi hari rupanya.  Ada ke lelaki yang nak pinang kalau mereka ni hidup di zaman dulukala ya.

Well, that's life, we have to face it. So whatever you do today, stay focus, be consistent don't give, see ya tomorrow..bye.

Fruit juices is also good alernatives to fresh fruits. But if you have diabetes, be careful of sweetened ones.

I'd like to continue my last post about good nutrition. My girls and I shopped for groceries today. Kan dah cuti sekolah, so dia orang mesti nak ikut punya lah.My choice is the fresh fruits and vegetables. Just look at their colours, they are so amazing. No wonder they contribute so much to our health benefit. Some fruits and vegetables can hinder and treat diabetes, blood pressure and coronary disease. They are several tips in treating diabetes:-

1. Add biter gourd in your diet. Cook them like any other vegetables, or make bitter gourd your salad of the day.

2.  Take king of bitter capsules (a.k.a hempedu bumi in Malays) to control your blood sugar.

3. Eat small, regular meals instead of eating like a monster..

4. Exercise regularly, cos exercise will make our organs functions at their best.

Kalau boleh, makan buah-buahan sepokok cam ni, barulah bagus. Tanam sendiri buah-buah dan sayuran.

5. Instead of using sugar in your diet, beralih lah ke stevia. Stevia dibuat dari daun pokok stevia yang manis rasanya sama seperti gula. Dia tanpa kalori dan tidak mendatangkan mudharat kepada kesihatan kerana diproses dari bahan semulajadi.

Malam Sabtu ni memang aku tunggu-tunggu. Ada satu rancangan kat Astro Warna tu, Maharaja Lawak! Semua budak-budak dah keluar bersiar-siar dengan kakak-kakak dia orang. Tinggallah aku ni berdua aje dengan suami. He is a fan of this show too. So we watched the Maharaja Lawak la. Gelak-gelak sampai sakit perut. Yang aku suka sekali tengok juri-juri this season. Mereka semua bagus-bagus belaka. Mamat Khalid terutamanya. He's my fav... kelakarlah Bang Mat. selalu gagap-gagap.Si Apek plak funky and funny. Ahamd Idham, soft spoken and very deliberate in making comments. After all, we enjoyed the show very much, thanks to all the contestants, they brought laughter to our life.

Ya lah, dah berumur gini nak keluar berdating macam orang muda tu tak terdaya jugak.  Lagipun nak ke mana sampai malam-malam berembun macam muda-muda dulu. Duduk rumah makan, minum, tengok tv dan beramal ibadat serta ada entertainment sikit-sikit cukuplah.  As for me, if I am not doing my housework, I'll spend most of my time writing my blog's posts. This is my love and passion these days. To be able to keep in touch with my soul and  to voice out my thoughts.

Here are some tips as to take care of ourselves in our middle age. Have lots of rest, both physically and mentally. Sleep well, take supplement, and have a diet mostly of vegetables and fruits. Wow, do I practice what I preached? I don't quite follow the rules exactly. Kekadang tu terbabas juga. Makan ikut sedap rasa dan ikut apa yang anak-anak makan. Apalagi, badan naik semacam, susah pulak nak aerobic. Tapi kadang-kadang tu I do pilates and hip hop dance. Ikut cd je, malulah nak join gym. Perut boyot, punggung macam nyiru, nak tergelek-gelek sama budak-budak..Aku ada simpan lagi cd exercise Jane Fonda. Ramai lagi cd fitness celelbrities yang ada dalam simpanan. Ada Denise Austin, yang becok mulutnya bila bererobik. Kathy Smith, yang tinggin lampai dan menawan. Rosemary Conley, yang dah berumur tapi body maintain. Maka sambil exercise tu, beranganlah aku yang satu hari nanti body aku pun boleh jadi macam gitu.. Samapi sekarang tetap macam dulu, anak badak pun kalau tengok, ingat tu mak dia.. Sedih juga kalau macam ni. Umur makin lama makin meningkat, kalau dah gedempol penyakit  pun berlari-lari datang nak tumpang kat badan kita. Awas, jangan nanti terkena penyakit kronik yang kita sendiri tau apa ke bendenya tu. Takut, takut nya. Tapi ni dah lapar pulak, ok nak cari bahan kudapan jap. Nak ransack peti tengok ape ade. Bye ye, makanlah sebelum kita dah tak mampu nak makan lagi, tapi ingat bismillah dulu.

Pedooh Baby. Ni bleh ni. Awk nipu mak ye.. Buat lah lgi, jgn nak brenti2. Tulis ape bende nak, jangan takut plak. x de sape nak marah. Dafterlah nuffnang tu boleh la. 13 thn umur yg dia nk. Jgn jd tepok plak..

Try amazon, if you want to be different.

While browsing the internet, I came across this site. A well known site that sells almost everything. They sell almost everything a living creature love to buy. For me, it is very much fun just browse and enjoy.. try it..

School Holiday is Around The Corner

Hi everyone,


Since school holiday is around the corner, my heart can rest a little bit. No worries about getting up late and the boys have to hurry to school. No more checking on their duty roaster every minutes just to make sure they do their work. Especially my girl (Baby), I think she has longed for a little break. School nowadys is so pressuring,  sometimes can make you crumble under the pressure. Homework, tuition and so on. 


I still remember those days when I was a schoolgirl. :Life was so much simpler. Waking up to the calls of the crows, taking bath with the icy cold water and the aroma of my mum's cooking, filled the fresh morning air. Later, my friends and I would walk to school chatting happily together. But now, I seldom see pupils walking with smiles on thei faces. The either go to school by bus, car, bikes and other transportation. How I miss those things. 


Back to school holidays, sape-sape ada idea nak ke mana cuti ni.? Rasa-rasa kalau ada rezeki nak bawa my boys and girls ni melancong dari utara ke selatan! Macamlah banyak sangat duit aku ni ye! Mudah-mudahan ada kelebihan rezeki diberi Allah.  Banyak tempat-tempat menarik untuk dilawati di sebelah Utara. Teringin nak ke Langkawi, dah tua segini pun belum pernah jejak kaki ke pulau bersejarah tu. Malu betul.  Lepas tu bolehlah terus ke rumah Ira. Ira is my second daughter, jauh terpisah ke utara. Tapi kan lebih baik bercuti ke Pulau tioman saja, dekat dengan rumah, tapi seberang laut tu..Oversea jugaklah. Kalau nak ke tanah tinggi bolehlah ke Genting Highlands dan Bukit Fraser. Semuanya dalam negeri Pahang. Syukur kami dari negeri yang sama. Bertuah menjadi rakyat negeri Pahang di bawah payung mahkota DYMM Sultan yang amat dicintai. Daulat Tuanku, semoga dipanjangkan umur dapat hamba ini hidup aman di tanah Pahang di bawah naunganmu. 


Melalut lagi, kau memang selalu gini lah. Semangat patriotik yang amat tebal tertanam di jiwa. Since I was born, I was nurtured with love and to love our country the most. Inilah bumi bertuah warisan bangsa kita. jagailah dia dari dijajah!!! Isy,isy, kalau dah keturunan Dato' Bahaman tu tak boleh nak disorok-sorok patriotiknya yee.. Sudah-sudahlah, dulu tak nak menurun ilmu pahlawan, sekarang cakap aje tak guna wei...Sabor aje le, tapi memang aku ni keturunan itu, apa nak buat....


Well, well wake up woman, let's get back on track. I wish all mothers in Malaysia a happy celebration since the school holiday is coming... Forget for a while the turmoil of schooldays. Relax and take care of  yourselves.  I know we forget to take care of ourselves when there is so much to do. Rest our mind and soul. Keep in touch with our inner feelings and be kind to ourselves. Lastly, let's hope this upcoming holiday will bring us happiness and joy to ourselves. God bless, girls and boys, mum gotta go for now.

Tetamu Sebagai Pembawa Rezeki...

I received a call from my niece yesterday. Do I have one? Why am I asking this question? Becasue I've forgotten that I've one..We have lost contact for sometimes, to me it has been ages since we were friends. We were friends once and as years gone by, we did our own life. So goes the so call a friend in need in a friend indeed. We did'nt anymore share the laughters we used to, we missed out on every thing that had happened in our lives. More or less , we have forgotten that we still exist in our hearts.

But the call yesterday brought back all our memories together. We tried to keep track off all the things that we had missed. Ya Allah, how much we had lost in time. This is year 2011, and we both have aged so much. I can see wrinkles over my face where there used to be none sometimes back. My body started to ache as the years keep creeping up and adding numbers to my life.

I planned a homecoming party for my niece. At first I was a bit skeptical.I am right in my decision? Ada orang kata tak payahlah susah payah melayan orang yang selama ini tak pernah muncul di kala kita memerlukan. Masa susah kita dulu siapa yang peduli. Susah senang kami sekeluarga saja yang melaluinya. Saudara mara haram tak pernah ambil tahu. Memang, kalau diikutkan hati, malas nak melayan.

Tapi kita sebagai hamba Allah ini kenalah beringat bahawa jika ada tetamu datang ke rumah kita, maka itulah rezeki dari Allah. Datangnya tetamu itu nanti akan membuka pintu rezeki Allah jika kita ikhlas melayannya. I hope my heart will open to anybody's love regardless of old or newcomer in my life. I want to live my life the fullest, as long as I feel happy I am free to acknowledge anyone. May Allah be at my side... amin. See ya, my girls and boys.. gotta go now.

Panas, panas bagi air... air..

It's extremely hot these days. As to why, I don't know. Maklumkan kita ni bukan pakar kajicuaca nak meramal apa ke kenanya jadi macam ni sekarang. Siang panas malam pun apa lagi. Macam nak pergi shopping kompleks dan tidur sampai malam kat situ. Tapi apa hal dengan anak-anak dan yang lain-lain? As if to add salt to wound, these past 2 days there is no water supply in our area. Wow, dah lah panas tak berair pulak. Menggelepar saya dan anak-anak menadah air yang keluar dari paip. Kadang-kadang tu macam ekor tikus je airnya. So, there goes our unwashed clothes and dishes.

Last night my hubby and I went out to our fav mamak restaurant! Omg! there were lots of people waiting to be entertained. Rebut-rebut meja nak duduk dan melepaskan kelaparan sebab dah tak masak seharian. Mana nak masak, air tak ada. Berbondong-bondonglah mereka ke kedai mamak nak tumpang makan. Isyy, kalaulah aku kaya malam tu, mau ke hotel sebelah tu duduk rehat dan santai-santai adalam air cond sambil makan-makan. Unlucky me, so I just have to be with these type of malaysian life. The 1 Malaysia concept is fully implemented here. Regardless of race and religion, we share out food together. What originally was an Indian cuisine becomes the meal of all races in Malaysia! Tabik to Dato' Najib, dia nampak apa yang benar-benar realiti dalam kehidupan kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia.

Melarat-larat pulak aku ye. Dah cakap fasal politik pulak dah ni. Bila cakap fasal politik, terkenang kepada the one and only Dr Mahathir yang baru-baru ni kurang sihat. Kesian dia, setelah berjasa dan sekarang bersara, sakit-sakit juga. Semoga Allah memberkati beliau dan diberi limpah kurnia kesihatan yang baik dan umur yang panjang. Jasamu terlalu banyak untuk dikenang. Terkenang sampai bila-bila...Engkaulah perwira negara dan tiada tolok bandingnya. Walau bagaimanapun, kita sebagai rakyat Malaysia sentiasalah beringat, lebih-lebih lagi orang Melayu. Jangan pula "Melayu mudah lupa" itu jadi kenyataan. Bye for now, see ya, boys and girls.

My cats..

I always love cats. Not one day that I can live without them. They are always by my side, anywhere in my home. They come in different colurs and sizes, they come and go. But lately, I was diagnosed of having chronic cough, most probably due to allergies. Allergies run in our family, from both me and my husband. And all our children have them in different ways. The doctors whom I've consulted always remind me not to have cats in the house.. My o my, it's such a bad news both to me and my girls. Having to part with the most loved ones seemed a far from true things to do. And as time time goes by, I've developed a tendency to avoid them. Ye lah, buat-buat benci tapi rindu juga. Nak main-main dan usap-usap, teringat cakap doktor, terus lepaskan si manja. Nyampah betul. Kucing-kucing ni pulak banyak halnya. Rupa cantik, bulu pun boleh tahan. Sampai masa baligh tu, yang jantan pun mulalah smebur perfume merata-merata rumah. Habis rumah berbau perfume dia. Hati pun mula panas. Dahlah bawa alergi, bawa perfume tak berjenama pulak tu. serba salah dibuatnya. Nak buang sayang dan kesian. Nak dibela, menyusahkan. Kita orang Islam ni pentingkan bersih dan suci supaya ibadah kita terpelihara. Ini dia kencing merata-rata, apa nak dikata. Anak-anak pulak satu hal. It runs in the family, so they love cats so much. Kucing kurap pun diangkut balik rumah dan dibuat macam anak sendiri. Hey girls and boys, better watch out, if you want your cats, do you risk losing your beloved one named ME... hehehe.. think about it oaky.. bey for now, your old mum going so stop here. If you don't love what you ee, you better love what you read here.. bye LOL ..

Nasib mu yang malang

Tersentuh hati menatap berita di akhbar pagi ni. Malangnya nasih mu wahai anak-anak yatim. Sudahlah yatim, ditempat bencana alama pula. Namun demikian, Allah itu maha adikl tiada Dia mahu menyusahkan makhluknya di dunia ni. Semuanya merasa seperti apa yang orang yang juga rasa. Bagi anak-anak yang tidak beribu atau ayah ini, yang juga telah Kau ambil kembali, selamatlah kamu di sisiNya. Kamu anak-anak yang tidak berdosa dan putih bersih, selayaknya kamu damai di sana. Tinggallah kami di sini meneruskan hidup,walau berayah beribu sekalipun, jika tiada ilmu dan amal, kami tidak bernasih baik seperti kamu yang pergi dulu.. Renungkanlah wahai anak-anakku semua. Sedekahkan Al Fatihah buat mereka. Amin...

Santai sambil jamu mata.

Saturday is the day for everyone to go out 'cos it's holiday... My doughters and I went out too and we spent most of the time just window shopping. Well, as usual, with not so much to spend, so there's nothing much to buy.. Moreover, prices are rocket high nowadays. Things which can be bought just for a few ringgit some time back, cost the world today.. So, I started thinking, how can we live expensively these days. How the not so fortunates can be at par with those who are so well off. As for me, I think we just have to work and work our ends out just to meet the other ends.. what in the name of God is the phrase. To all my daughters, just dont ever give up, dont stop trying and dont stop living. Whatever happens, we have to live our lives to the fullest. I, your mother will always be at your sides, couching and motivating you all. But do remember, God knows best, in whatever you do, or what action or road you may choose and take, dont forget to ask for his guidance, insyaallah there will be a way... amin. Bye, your mumm has to go for now, see ya... soon, my girls and boys.

Tak pandai-pandai juga

Dah puas baca pun boleh dikatakan masih belum pandai lagi nak buat blog yang menarik. Pening dah kepala ni.

For long I seemed to have lost interest in writing. Whatever are the reasons, well just thinking and thinking untl today. The drive to write is here again. This demands a lot of attention, to be in touch with myself. Berat juga nak mula semula, tapi insyaallah, selagi ada fikiran yang dikurnia Allah, bakat itu akan ku pergunakan sepenuhnya.

Hi all, here I am again...
