Rezeki atau Dugaan?

 

Dalam penantian mendapatkan sekeping surat yang amat bermakna (hopefully soon), ada pulak rezeki yang teramat tak diduga...Panggilan telefon tadi berjaya membuat ku terus bagi confirmation utk bertemu next week.  Bukan sekali dua aku mencuba nasib dengan tempat tu, tapi entah mengapa, pada kali nie, mereka berminat nak jumpa aku.

 

Bila bercerita dengan mak aku tadi, mak aku bilang ini dugaan sebenarnya.  Yelah, sebab proses kat sini dah 60% done and aku senirik dah bersetuju dan berjanji dgn pihak yg sudi mengambil ku....and tiba2 lak ada peluang lain, di tempat lain....What if tempat lain nie really interested and memberikan tawaran yg sungguh2 aku tak mampu tolak dan lepaskan??

 

Until the time comes, buat sementara nie, kita pelan2 kayuh.....lalui semua seumpama air yg mengalir.....que sera, sera....what will be, will be.....



Pre Trans-Peninsular Hunt

Ok, let's be honest.  We are all excited (or shall I say, sexcited??) for the Trans-Peninsular Hunt this weekend.  Firstly, it's a weekend getaway for us and secondly, trip to the north, the centre of food heaven!!!  Wallau wei, testing all the various, glorious, tasty food at the centre of food heaven with your buddies???  Are you kidding?

Ever since we got to know that the hunt will be to the north, we made plans....where to go, what to expect etc.  Some went to the extent of preparing a food itinerary, with stopovers in Ipoh, Kuala Kangsar, Kuala Sepetang, Sungai Dua and the island.  That's really advance and well planned.

As for me, right now, I am doing up our itinerary.....might want to stopover in Ipoh while on the way up north....Somebody recommended Nasi Ganja.  Personally, I would like to try the SS Ali popia in Ipoh town.  Can't find popia of equivalent taste/standard here.

We will then continue our journey and might make a pitstop at Kuala Sepetang for the ever famous Mee Udang.  Or we might even continue driving up north and stop at Sungai Dua...who knows...

The main agenda will be the night when we arrive in the Island.  Where to lepak, what to eat, where to go for sight seeing and do we have time to "mandi laut" the next morning?? 

Guys, so many things to do.......so little time, how???

Among the food that I would love to have this time round....

Chee Chong Fun.

Claypot beryani at Kapitan Restaurant, Penang

Mantis Prawn....

Mee Goreng Sotong at Esplanade......craving for this already

Drooling for roti benggali and kambeng soup...yummy!!

Last but not least, the penang popia......

Semua gambo adalah dicilok dari pakcik google/yahoo....from various sources...

NB:  How I wish I'm there now...

To wake up early in the morning and stroll along the beach....

I miss my good old days when I was working there......

Gardening 101

Most of the time, bila ada kelapangan, I would love to join my mom to do some gardening.  Mind you, bukan setakat tanam pokok bunga yek, kami selalunya sama2 mengemas, menebas rumput2, menggambur tanah etc. 

Di sekeliling rumah nie ada banyak juga pokok buah-buahan.  Memandangkan sekarang musim buah rambutan, jadinya waktu hujung minggu aku banyak digunakan untuk mengait buah rambutan.

Let's take a quick tour to our garden.....

Bergayutan buah rambutan merah

Begitu juga dengan rambutan kuning.  Yg nie kat tingkap dapur lokasinya

Kelapa muda pun ada juga

Cempedak yang sarat di pokok

Mangga pun sama banyak nya

Belimbing besi yang tak pernah berhenti berbuah

Terung telunjuk yang akan dijadikan benih untuk disemai

Pokok daun kari

Pokok kunyit

Bunga rose.  Yang nie selalu dibeli untuk dijadikan mandi bunga
