A Long Halt About to End

I have been MIA for reasons...neway..we get started again with my favorite quotations...currently written on my fb...

"You don't need to explain yourselves!!!

The person who likes you don't need it..
The person who dislikes you won't believe.."

Alive and kicking again.. Alhamdulillah..

The Waterfront City Exclusive Enclave: Clear Water Bay Resort: Ipoh, Perak: Part 3

I managed to arrange some times to visit the progress of the Waterfront City of Clearwater Bay Resort yesterday, Sept 24th, 2011.

The ongoing projects: (Most of my updates is on the Cluster series due to easier access, but however, the progress of the terrace series are going well hands on hands. Some of the shop houses already been painted...The jogging path is ongoing)

The sales team is annoucing that in a short while, the price will be hiking again. So for those who is still thinking...do not be late!! (It is good if you buy two units, by the time key handover, sell back one of the unit. Believe me, if you do, it is like you get the house FOC!!)

Don't be surprise if you see the color of the brick is more or less like making you jump. This white brick as written in the build spec from Waterfront's website is Kalsa brick. To be honest, I was jumping as well at the first time...but before jumping to a conclusion, I investigate more of this brick.

This is calcium silicate bricks which its' comercial name in Malaysia, known as Kalsa

Citation: "Calcium silicate bricks offer a few distinct advantages such as economy, high compressive strength, heat resistance, sound insulation and durability that place them in a class above all other bricks"

Click the link here to watch and read about the vendor of Waterfront City's kalsa brick.

The market price of Kalsa is at MYR0.38 while the clay brick (red brick) is at MYR0.36 nowadays. Some facts to share...

Laksa: Cook With Love

Just so you know, I do not savor laksa as how much I love satay, kebab, nasi minyak plus tomato-chicken and pizza…tuna sandwich…chicken salad…yada yada yada….

(So at this point…my hubby is laksa’s no.1 fan, and now I found that my girl loves laksa as well…so we are different!!).But… I remember the moment I was pregnant and started to crave for something, I crave for laksa. Since I crave for it, hubby brought me to a lunch-hour-restaurant somewhere at Kampung Melayu Majidee (I stayed at JB at that time).

I was so excited seeing ‘LAKSA’ had written as one of the menu selection and without much thinking, I opted for it.

Dang!..A headache suddenly hit when I finally found out, the laksa they served was laksa johor…I took only one spoon…then I put the spoon and fork back to the plate. I stared at the laksagna…dengan mata berkaca-kaca…and cried a river!!! Hubby just growled then smiling because he forgot the facts that Johor has different type of laksa as well.

Anyway..that is just a history…I just recently cooking laksa..for the first time..but definitely Laksa Utara (ignore if it Penang..Kedah or Perak…the taste is more or less the same)…and not the Johor one!! ^_^

I learn to cook laksa just for my love ones sake since they love it!! Not enough of that…they craze on it!! I think my parents and PIL, SIL loves laksa too. So that bonus!

I am so glad that I got a thumb ups for this 1st trial…(Hubby loikes!!) Anyway, cooking laksa doesn’t need skills as how much skill of cake baking. The tedious part is the part where we need to detach the fish from its bone. Crush the bone and filtering. The way to cook is as simple as pouring everything together…and boil to cook.

Enjoy into laksa….^_^

Moral of the story…even if it is the first time we cook (something that not required skill), we can cook something tasty like a chef did. Given our heart is sincere to cook for the love ones. If we are not sincere, be it the 99th times we cook the same cooks, it will tend to spoil…too salty laaa….too less salt laaa…too taa tee laaaa..sometime ended up still too raw..(unless you expect it to be that way). So…cook with clean heart..and that ‘s the best tips to cook for the family!

Luv!

Note: Most of my friends and officemate often reacting surprise and wonder when we share the life story like I cooked this yesterday..on weekend I cooked this…they would say…”Ellysse, were you really cook all those things? You seem like a naïve modern woman who never cook or making house job but you’re not!!??” We laugh at that point…Whatever they said; I rather like to make a simple confession that I am not a hustler in cooking. I love cooking at some point and I love experimenting with wok and spatula and salt.. And making a down to earth statement is the sweetest answer to be heard..and I love it that way..and I cook my way…just like spongebob frying krabby patty burger…simple and happy!

Note2: The demand is so hot…next order for Laksa is 1 week from now..let’s check it out soon..Mama pon suda booking order…

No More Reason: Body Mitos

Have you ever heard mitos like...if your eyelashes of the right one dropped, meaning someone is missing you..if the left one dropped, meaning someone is badmouthing you..

If you choke, someone is talking about you..

Another mitos, the cleanliness of your feets tell the cleanliness of your vital area...do you believe?

Some I don't, some I do. But from most of all, I really believe that the image of parents (in term of cleanliness and body care) can be reflected obviously by their child's appearance.

But if I do care, it doesn't mean that I will purposely flash out my child to the most just to convince people how I am. Instead, I really am like to ensure the basic cleanliness of my lil girl, guaranteed..just that's it..

The most basic every mother should has...

I am not a mean spender, and I do not a mean spending to invest some money to probe with different type of cotton buds to figure out the safest way to clean her ear's hole up...so does her earpiece..cutting her nail..etc.

If you see, the purple nail clipper is a legacy. The nail clipper is sharp enough, the purple cover will keep the cut nails automatically not scattered away from the nail clipper. And this legacy I kept ever since I was a teenager..so it could aged to 10 years since I bought it.

And from the 3 types of cotton bud in the picture, the above one is having a safety element in which it will not go too deep to the hole if you scare to dig. I think the picture is clear enough..nampak bagaimana bentuknya??

The one in lying position is my favorite for my baby..it is small in size. The stick is flexy and easy bending. The cotton won't parted from the stick. The bud is neat and the cotton won't easily detach from the stick (even though the dust) It is good in quality I must say.

I at least spend once a week to cut her nail and I choose Friday.

While I always spend the weekend on her ears or hair cut etc. If I am a housewife I will have more times??!!...(ahhh...asyik berangan). A big losses if we have enough time but we neglected this basic needs of our child. But I do my best even if I am a career-mother..at least...

If you think eating a healthy food is enough...wearing a beautiful gown is enough..for me it is not enough if the basic not even treated. I once went through minor ear surgery due to water infection, but it never makes me give up to death to dig-clean the ears of my littlest one. Current product is produced with a lot of variety to make life easier..no more reason..

Note: Akhtar would normally refuse me to cut her nail, but being a diplomatic mother is not easy..I have to say.." Kalau Akhtar x potong kuku...nanti kuku ber-Q-lat" Kalau Akhtar x bersihkan telinga..nanti telinga ber-Q-lat"...Ber-Q-lat itew ialah berKULAT..huhu..

Kebersihan itu separuh daripada iman juga wahai jelitawansss...jangan asyik menyapu losyen di badan..sehingga lupa 'mengoles' lembut anak-anak anda..mari berkongsi..

The Waterfront City Exclusive Enclave: Clearwater Bay Resort: Ipoh, Perak: Part 2

Sunrise Palace is making a good improvement on the website..they have migrate from discoverlahat to waterfrontcity..click here for quick link.

Let's start the essay today with the most interesting fact, price. The buyer would looks somehow like a cat on the hot brick knowing that current price of the buildings are hiking up again. I am not really observing the price of shop houses, but on the living house, the terrace now priced at MYR308K++, while the cluster series now at MYR338K++. An upsurge of MYR70K. And to be exact, the projects are still undergoing day by day. And everybody is hoping that the price will really hike 100% from its original price by the time the key handovered to the owner.

I am deciding to visit the undergoing project tomorrow and meeting the sales team, thus so far, there's no exact information of how many units still available. But for the potential buyer or investor, pls click here to contact for more.

new post: update

Red Velvettttaa...

Just recently, my god-sis was asking me for the unbaked cheesecake recipe that I made here.

If you read back, you will notice how baking makes me nut. theeheeee...

The next cake I baked (which actually suggested by my dear SIL) is red velvet. Looks yummy but just at par..the taste didn't hit my tastebud over the moon. When I eat..I feel like...err...feeling like I was fishing or something...I mean yeah...boring!!

Some in cuppy cake style..

A very harrrrdddd work!!...I messed my granny's house...lucky the maid helped me a lot...

The cake baked with nicely taste but the texture annoyed me..I was hoping for something fluffy..spongy..tender..so-so sweet and milky rich..and whatever on earth package a cake should has, but I found it ended up with texture something like bahulu...let me laugh a minute..(^_^)...Tapi ada jugak yang gembira makan part bahulu rangup tersebut....ehe..

The snowy like surface was actually the whipping cream...since I don't have mixture machine, it was not as perfect as what I expected...anyway, I have lotsa balance from the whipping cream mixture, so I decided to just bake it hoping miracle to happen. Plus my other SIL said that the mixture was something like going to be a cheesecake, she made my decision to just bake it went like alive. So this is the result...and I think the taste was awesome only that I supposed to add more lemon juice so that the sourness could be more intense.

They made my day...

I swear...

I wanted to grab one mixture-machine, the baking weighing machine, a nice mixture bowl as well..a kitchen cabinet that black and white and I want air-cond at the kitchen..I need errr..yess...a vase with nice flowers to decorate the kitchen...err and I think the mix of good facility, plus a good mood can make me succeed baking a cake in future....err will that bake a good cake really?

*_^ sekian..

Cake??? Ini adalah gaya posing 'gembira' bila dengar perkataan 'kek'..(anda pasti??)!!!!

One-Point-Lesson: The Genie

I was recently jumped into this blog and attracted to read an article about the islamic meditation and medication methods. You might click here to read further..

There's something that makes me think out of below citation, if devil was vowed to astray Adam, they would do that by all means.

Citation1:

"Jin akan cuba melaga-lagakan pesakit dengan sahabat handainya atau jirannya atau keluarganya dengan menyatakan dia dibuat oleh sipulan bin sipulan atau orang yang duduk berhadapan rumahnya atau sebagainya."

Citation2:

"Perlu diingat (oleh perawat), tugas perawat Darussyifa' hanyalah sebagai perawat dan bukan bersifat penyembuh. Jangan sekali-kali merasa takjub ketika merawat sekiranya dialog berlaku dan jangan pula merasa rendah diri sehingga merasakan diri tidak layak untuk merawat hanya kerana tiada respon diberikan pesakit gangguan ketika dirawat kerana sesungguhnya tipu daya jin dan syaitan amat licik sekali."

Citation 3:

"...kadangkala jin cuba sedaya upaya merosakkan ibadah perawat dengan menjerit setiap kali berjumpa perawat tentu dengan tujuan menimbulkan rasa ego, ujub dan riyak keatas diri perawat supaya merasakan dirinya seorang perawat yang bagus dan hebat. Inilah sifat jin yang harus diketahui semua perawat agar sentiasa berwaspada dan merendah diri agar segala usaha rawatan dinilai dengan ganjaran pahala disisi Allah S.W.T"

So if someone attacks by the genie, even if you listened of what it admits...it doesn't guarantee that they were not lying.

Interesting...

OK Now..

If you see..this is the longest ever I haven't post anything on my blog. To be true, I was actually decided to just sack this blog out and make a new one...I was thinking some of the 'reader' here might be someone who dislikes me, the writer...but always force herself to keep on reading here...soon after, started to feeling bad watching my happy pictures...bla bla bla...and in the same time, I don't like it if someone whose not sincere follow through my life itinerary...

But just recently when I was chit chatting with my ex-officemate, my god-sis, my ex-schoolmates, my ex-housemates and some of my kin, they truly mentioned that even though fb is not the best place to keep being updated of my slow moving life (because I haven't spent much of times there), this blog is where they spent time reading...I was flattered and thinking that takkan disebabkan nila setitis 'itu'..rosak susu sebelanga..so i keep on writing ^_^ (thanks my dear friends)..

And last weekend right before the fasting Monday…we actually rambling around and get ourselves frozen at Cameron Highlands…(45 minutes from my home..tell ya this is the 5th time..I could remember every pothole on the road oledy…=P)
