Makan - Makan || Nasi Ayam Madu Sri Melati, Bangi

Ada satu hari tu dah tak larat nak makan dekat cafe ofis ni.. lepas tu ada pulak colleague yang rajin nak g makan jauh sikit dari biasa (read : naik kereta perjalanan lebih daripada 10 minit).. terus ada someone suggest Nasi Ayam Madu dekat Jalan Lama Bangi.. dekat dengan Agensi Nuklear Malaysia..

Nasi and ayam dia biasa je.. sama je macam normal nasi ayam kat mana-mana.. tapi.. the chilli sauce tu pekat and manis.. and ade hidden treasure between the chicken and sauce! cili padi potong!! pergghhh.. heaven betol dapat.. manis-manis.. pastu tiba-tiba explosion of pedas cili padi.. memang mintak cili padi potong extra sebab every bite nak ada cili padi tu..

baru lepas order

Tapi yang tak bestnya.. ikut nasib chicken parts yang kita dapat.. tak semestinya dapat favourite parts.. sebab  kakak yang ambik order taknak layan request-request ni.. berserah je laa.. hope for parts yang boleh layan..

Harga? not sure tapi between RM4 - RM5.. sebab masa tu ada orang belanja.. tapi guaranteed affordable..

Tempat ni selalu penuh bila lunch hour.. sebab banyak jugak ofis area situ.. especially student and staff UKM.. so either be early or come a little bit later.. sebab dia ada sampai petang rasanya.. tapi jangan la petang sangat.. So.. apa lagi?? sila bawa diri anda ke Jalan Bangi Lama and rasalah nasi ayam kat sini.. gerenti termimpi-mimpi!!

RomanCinta

A superb rendition by Caliph Buskers.. they were even given standing ovation.. good job guys!

(by : mojo feat caliph buskers)

Sejak kamu pergi menjauh

Sudah tiada udara untuk diriku hembus

Denyutan nadi pun terbentur melumpuh

Dalam hening jiwa

Jika kamu tak percayakanku

Belahkanlah dada dan kau intiplah di situ

Pasti akan jumpa kasih yang menyala meratap dirimu

Kerana kau satu-satunya 

Cinta agung yang paling kudamba

Tanpamu hilanglah makna

Untuk menikmati romancinta

Aku akan setia selamanya

Selagi masih bernyawa

Pulangkan kembali romancinta

Yang kau bawa pergi

Tanpa kamu menyiram kalbu

Punah semua harapan larut dalam mimpi

Batinku meronta

kau ulang semula

Menyayangi aku

Kerana kau satu-satunya 

Cinta agung yang paling kudamba

Tanpamu hilanglah makna

Untuk menikmati romancinta

Aku akan setia selamanya

Selagi masih bernyawa

Pulangkan kembali romancinta

Yang kau bawa pergi

Beri semula

Hatiku rasa

Romancinta

Makan - Makan || Killiney Kopitiam, Putrajaya

Selepas beberapa kali nak makan kat Killiney asyik cancel je.. Finally dapat jugak makan sini.. Teringin nak makan bihun siam yang dengar-dengar sedap betul.. Summore nak makan bihun siam.. last makan masa sekolah rendah.. makan kat one of the stall kat rumah..

Kalau ikut memori, bihun siam ni is bihun yang digoreng kosong.. lepas tu kuah masam-masam manis dituang sekali dengan isi like ayam & sayur.. memang sedap la combination tu.. it is supposed to be originated from south or more accurately Jawa people..

Order hot honey lemon sebab tengah batuk.. bila tak sihat baru sedar diri tak order ais.. kalau tidak.. ais all the way..

This is supposed to be the star.. tapi sangatla hampa.. seriously I have to say this.. tak sedap lansung! rasa masam pon tak.. sampai tak tau nak kategorikan apa.. memang makan tak habis..

Even colleagues yang joib sekali pon tak habis her order.. Ada sorang collegue, order tak sampai.. bila tanya.. waiter tu baru nak cakap that order dah habis.. kalau tak tanye tadi? tunggu sampai bila?

Other than that, kitorang ada order toast butter & kaya.. the waiter cakap dah habis.. so kitorang pon ok je laa.. Masa ada sorang colleague nak tanya pasal order dia, dia ada ternampak satu table tu makan toast.. Dia pon tanya waiter tu sebab kata toast dah habis.. boleh pulak dia jawab.. roti yang kitorang nak tu dah habis.. roti lain ada la lagi.. macamtu pulak??!!

Yang paling sedih sekali is the waiters tak kemas meja lepas customer left the kopitiam.. Biar je meja penuh dengan pinggan & cups sampai banyak lalat masuk & hurung meja tu..  Then mula la banyak lalat kat dalam kedai.. 

I think the owner / manager kena buat something to upgrade their service laa.. even the  food.. they should taste before serving.. I don't like to talk bad.. tapi this time around tak boleh tahan laa.. sebab its really bad..

But that's my experience at the particular branch.. Tempat lain mungkin bukan macam ni and masa lain bukan macam ni.. so.. this is in my opinion..

First few days in Standard 1

These are collection of Adam on the first week of school..

Uniform still tak lengkap.. waiting for his necktie..

1st Day as a Primary Schooler

Finally the day came.. Adam start darjah 1.. Macam tak boleh nak percaye yang Adam dah darjah 1.. apa-apa pon he's still my baby boy..

Pagi tu memang awal.. make sure dah Adam tido awal malam sebelum tu.. Sebab sekolah tu area traffic jam.. Nasib baik dia ikut timing yang dah kitorang set..

Sampai pagi tu, terus head towards dewan.. kat situ, semua student dah kumpul.. it seems that kena kumpul kat situ dulu baru masuk kelas.. Tapi since haritu hari Isnin, so ada assembly.. lama la sikit.. and penuh parents keliling hall tu..

Adam pulak segan-segan sebab dia tak kenal sorang pon classmates..tapi refuse to look our way.. macho la tu konon..

Lepas assembly, they reset balik kelas darjah 1 based on test masa orientation haritu.. Adam 1 class up.. Alhamdulillah..

Bila the kids dah masuk kelas, all the parents being adviced to trust the teachers and leave their kids.. because they are already in good hands.. so, Dude and I just tinggal je Adam and went for our breakfast.. and promise to come back during recess time..

Masa recess tu kitorang duduk celah-celah orang taknak bagi dia notice kitorang.. memang dia tak notice langsung sebab jalan terus je tak tengok kiri kanan dah dengan bekal kat tangan.. ikut his friends.. tapi bila depan counter baru dia sedar he's not supposed to be there.. bila nak pusing to turn back entah macamane ada budak tengah berlari and terlanggar dia.. Jatuh terlentang la my baby boy on the canteen floor.. berlari kitorang nak save kan dia.. Nasib baik takde apa-ape.. only he's broken ego.. kihkih..

Tapi the comment from others including cikgu buat mak dia nih panas.. "tula adik.. lain kali jangan lari.. jalan je.. laintai ni licin.. kan dah jatuh.." that does not help calming him down.. lagi menangis ada.. Bila dah cool down tu.. pujuk dia makan.. Sebab recess tak lama and kena kumpul balik kat dewan lepas bell ring..

Everything went well after that.. Masa nak pick-up tu, jenguk la Adam in his class.. Nampak ok je and can adapt well.. Bila bell ring untuk balik je, the kids beratur depan class and salam cikgu before leaving.. the school terapkan good ethics la kan..

Petang pulak masa untuk sekolah agama.. Adam seems ok with the arrangements.. tapi rushing sikitlaa.. sebab traffic jam and all..

Kesimpulannya.. a successful day 1.. kita tengokla nanti the days to come..

Makan - Makan || AlMaeda, Ayer@8, Putrajaya

Masa ni officemate ajak makan tempat yang lain dari biasa.. tempat biasa is cafe dekat office.. tempat lain dari biasa kali ni is Ayer@8.. and this particular officemate teringin makan makanan arab..and dia pilih Al-Maeda..

Masa ni I was already feeling not well.. tak teruk sangat lagi tapi tekak dah rasa tak sedap and pahit.. kaalau ikut I am not a good companion masa ni.. tapi.. takkan nak lunch sorang-sorang??

Sampai restoran tu, orang dah agak ramai jugak.. Nasib baik ada 1 tempat kosong indoor.. tak sanggup nak lunch kat luar tengah-tengah panas.. walaupun view adalah tasik Putrajaya..

Instead of makan nasi.. semua order lauk je.. as in grilled chicken, lamb makan dengan roti.. the set comes together with fries and a small portion of salad and sauce..

For me, I ordered chicken.. mine is a bit dry.. dengan tekak pahit lagi la bercinta nak habiskan quarter ayam tu.. tapi paksa jugakla.. Manage to only finish half of it.. yang lain sharing is caring with kawan-kawan.. tapi I think, if my tastebud is normal, I would love the grill.. sebab pinggan semua orang licin.. mine pon in the end licin..

Locally Made

Nowadays, the local soda drink has become a hit.. My office is no exception.. One day there's a booth selling this locally made soda drink in a bottle.. I feel like I need to join in the hype.. so I bought 2 bottles of the drink.. 1 of soursop (was thinking to share it with the parents) and another 1 is pineapple..

The verdict? I'm sorry that I won't repeat the order (eventhough I excitedly took the contact of the person selling) the drink was too sweet and too much coloring.. I just couldn't imagine drinking it again.. Sorry to the seller or maker.. maybe you should improve on the taste and the colour.. make it a more natural taste and look..
