apple muffin

dis time nak bagi resipi apple muffin plak.. it's quite simple, nice n easy to be done.. dengan adernyer suma bahan2 dan peralatan, tak sampai sejam pun dah ready untuk dimasak.. hehe..

first n foremost, macam biasa.. kene bagi kredit dulu for the source.. we've been using dis all dis while.. sangat bermanfaat la yer.. tenkiu chef wan.. ^_^


with small cost n u will able to try out up to 35 recipes from dis book yer.. cuba la cari buku ni kat mph.. u can buy it for rm 9.90 jer.. murah kan?? hehe.. ader beberapa dalam series ni.. ader jugak yang original form iaitu in english.. but dis recipe memang from chef wan yang popular tu key.. chef wan bapak kepada serina tu yer.. hoho.. tips paling penting, dis book dalam bahasa melayu yer.. senang nak faham n apply.. tu yang paling mahal tu.. susah nak jumpa buku masak yang berkualiti tapi dalam bahasa melayu.. hoho..

promote sket, as always.. biasa la tu.. tak sah kalau dalam blog ni takder sesi mem-promote.. hoho..

with sum adjustment here n there, my apple muffin ni dah di-otter-kan by my mum to reduce the degree of the sweetness.. when it comes to my part, i already terer sket2 adjust lagi for the cost reduction.. for those yang follow dis blog, memang tau sudah la my style.. how i always try to use the basic ingredients dengan kos yang rendah to make the most quality result..

enough dengan membebel2.. kita menyambung dengan the recipe part already yer.. oh yer, mungkin tips akan di-include skali harung.. so maybe takder separate title for tips.. huhu..

bahan2:

1 1/4 {satu suku} cawan tepung gandum
1 sudu kecik baking soda
1/2 {setengah} sudu kecik serbuk kulit kayu manis
1 bijik telur {saiz A @ AA}
3/4 {tiga suku} cawan gula
125 ml minyak masak
1 1/2 {satu setengah} sudu kecik esen vanilla
3 bijik epal hijau
1 sudu kecik garam

cara2:

1. paling utama sebelum start everything, kita kupas dan dadukan epal yang 3 bijik ni.. we have to do dis first sebab dis process took the longest time of all.. bagi yang tak expert dalam memotong2 buah dengan cepat seperti i ni, memang la lama sangat di-spend time untuk menyiapkan epal yang dipotong dadu ni.. so, dis part shud do the earliest of all untuk menjimatkan masa seterusnya untuk bake apple muffin ni yer..

biasanya for baking purpose atau untuk masak2 ni, we will use epal hijau.. epal merah is sweet already.. epal hijau is a bit sour.. but usually apple type yang menjadi pilihan will be the granny smith.. senang nak cari, rangup jugak kot.. not sure la the main purpose kenapa.. will search for that later yer..

oh yer, gamba takder untuk part potong2 ni.. tapi hasil potongan tu nanti ada dalam gamba2 seterusnya.. so nanti boleh refer la yer.. pastikan dadu2 tu kecik2 la yer.. ader plak yang tercekik kang makan muffin.. hehe..

2. after siap mendadu.. pi amik 1 cawan untuk dijadikan sukatan bagi recipe ni.. tak kesah sebenarnya nak pakai which type of cawan.. tapi jangan la pakai mug plak.. i'm using an arcoroc bunga biru ni sebagai sukatan..

so untuk setiap bahan yang perlu digunakan cawan sebagai sukatan, we have to use the same type of cawan la.. sebab, the kandungan ialah sama la lebih kurang.. if we use the different types of cawan, then kandungan tu tak sama.. maybe yang dis one 1 cawan ialah 200 gram.. but the other cawan ialah 240 gram.. so cam dah lari kan.. tu yang kita nak elakkan tu..

3. amik mixing bowl untuk start sesi2 memukul ni.. masukkan gula dan telur ke dalam mixing bowl.. boleh la start memukul..

tapi kene pastikan pemukul tu mencecah ke dasar mixing bowl.. kalau pemukul tu sampai sipi2 jer, we have to lift up the mixing bowl supaya dapat dipukul sehingga sebati.. i tried before n bahan2 untuk 1 adunan sangat sedikit n merisaukan kalau small things like dis di-ignore-kan.. so better watch out n keep reminded yer..

4. telur dan gula ni dipukul sehingga sebati as informed tadi.. pukul selama beberapa minit, maybe like 5 minutes n stop.. angkat pemukul n u have to feel it with ur finger to make sure dat gula tu tak berketul lagi dalam adunan.. means if u feel it, the texture is smooth atau licin.. kalau masih belum smooth, boleh la sambung memukul.. tapi kalau dah smooth pun, u sambung pukul sekejap n masukkan minyak ke dalam adunan..

see, i masukkan minyak sementara masih memukul.. dis akan menyebatikan adunan sebelum u stop tak lama after dis..

5. after masukkan minyak, u have to masukkan esen vanilla inside the adunan yang sedang dipukul tadi.. as i'm running out of stock for the esen vanilla, i change dis to parutan epal inside..

i sagat sebijik epal n masukkan the the whole sebijik yang telah disagat untuk menggantikan rasa esen vanilla tadi.. but dis step take time sket la.. kalau in a rush, jangan buang masa di sini.. boleh pakai esen vanilla straight yer.. i letak dis pun sebab nak bagi feeling epal tu lebih sket, hehe.. takder keje n banyak masa la katakan.. hoho..

selepas agak2 sebati sudah the adunan, u can stop the mixture n biar dulu sementara menyiapkan the 2nd part of the ingredient for dis apple muffin yer..

6. dalam 1 bekas lain {i use bekas aiskrim}, ayak tepung dulu..

7. masukkan baking soda ke dalam tepung yang diayak tadi..

baking soda ni jangan terlebih2 yer.. sumone with sensitive receptor boleh terasa kalau baking soda ni terlebih daripada yang sepatutnya.. maybe rasa sedikit kelat kot.. i dunno la, but my mum able to detect kalau kes2 terlebih ni.. huhu..

8. seterusnya, masukkan serbuk kulit kayu manis @ cinnamon ke dalam tepung tadi..

we can find dis serbuk kat baking shop yer.. di kedai2 peralatan membuat kek.. tak perlu la bersusah payah memarut sendiri kulit kayu manis yang keras tu.. buang masa dan tenaga.. we shud save it for other important things in life, key.. hehe..

9. last but not least, masukkan garam..

garam ni, kalau tak letak pun takper.. tak efek sangat pun kat rasa muffin tu nanti.. nak letak pun boleh.. i've done both ways..

10. kacau2 dengan sudu supaya all over ada mengandungi bahan2 yang sedikit yang ditambah2 tadi.. selepas siap menyebatikan, boleh la campuran tepung ni dimasukkan ke dalam mixing bowl yang dah ready tadi..

oh yer, another option to add 6,7,8,9 ni ialah masukkan terus suma skali ke dalam mixing bowl.. menjimatkan bekas untuk dibasuh la yer.. senang, tak bersepah2 sana sini.. hoho..

11. selepas masukkan 10, kacau hingga sebati dengan menggunakan spatula..

we don't have to use mixer at dis point, sebab masukkan tepung is kinda the last part untuk adunan kosong.. if u use mixer, takut over mix plak.. i'm afraid jadik lain plak.. alah, no fuss pun masukkan 10 ni.. tapi pastikan tak berketul2 plak la hasilnya nanti yer..

12. pas siap 11 tadi, we can add epal yang didadu di 1 tadi ke dalam 11..

kacau all over la supaya suma epal diselaputi oleh adunan.. as informed earlier, we can use telur saiz A atau AA untuk adunan ni kan.. if we're using A-size egg, the result will be like dis.. macam kering sket.. u will see cam epal tu balut sket jer ngan adunan.. macam tak berair sangat adunan tu yang tinggal after all the apple disalut.. tapi hasil memang cantik, tak dinafikan..

tapi kalau AA-size plak, result seperti ni.. tengok, macam ader berair sket adunan tu.. besides apple, ader cam ala2 kuah sket kat dalam mangkuk muffin tu kan??

13. masukkan adunan ke dalam tray muffin yang dah diletak paper cup nyer.. jangan over load sangat, nanti muffin kembang sangat, melimpah plak.. nanti tak cantik plak.. cam gamba2 kat 12 ni la lebih kurang.. nanti just nice jer hasilnyer.. lagi satu, pastikan paper cup tu saiz lebih kurang dengan tray yer.. kalau tak, the muffin tak terbentuk dengan cantik.. another thing, baking muffin memang kene pakai tray muffin yang berlubang2 ni yer.. kalau tak, maybe it will not form dalam bentuk muffin.. manela tau, mungkin ter-leper ker.. haru nanti.. hoho..

14. bake selama 30 minit.. pastikan oven dipanaskan terlebih dahulu sebelum masukkan tray muffin.. kalau tak, the time length will increase.. mungkin sehingga 45 minit sebab nak warm up dulu oven tu..

15. ni hasil nyer selepas bake tu..

must be keperang-perangan yer.. the texture will be baked {bukan garing, tapi rasa yang dibakar dalam oven la} in the outside.. while in the inside plak, rasa lembut.. it shud not be garing inside sebab epal dalam tu dah basah, so rasa moist.. haa, gitu la words nyer.. adeh, penat memikir.. adoi..

hasil ni untuk AA-size egg nyer yer.. yang A-size tu, terlupa yang amat nak amik gamba.. but nicer than dis absolutely.. huhu..

hmm.. another tips yang leh tahan penting nyer jugak.. A-size type menghasilkan 16 bijik muffin.. while AA-size type menghasilkan 19 bijik.. so u can see dat jenis telur efek on the amount of muffins yang dihasilkan later.. hoho..

for now, sampai sini jer la kot.. too tired to create a post during weekdays.. too many things to do in the weekend n distract my focus on updating my blog.. hoho..

will try to update more often or buat post dulu to be posted later.. happy trying.. ^_^

my first week 1

of working in new place!!

well, as informed earlier in the previous posts dat i already started my new job kan??

alhamdulillah.. everything berjalan lancar setakat ini..

i'm happy walaupun most of the time penat sket la.. well, what to expect from a sumone yang kene bangun kol 5.45 am n off alarm 3 kali untuk finally wakes up on 6 am to rush gerak from home on 6.55 am.. cobaan.. sebab dah terlalu lama selesa, without rush, without really exact terikat ngan attendance.. haha..

i'm just trying to lessen my time stuck kat tol damansara jer sebab that's the worst part of all.. stuck for 10-15 minutes are fine, but 45 minute?? adoi.. not really into that again sebab the hardest part ialah akan sampai lewat kat ofis nanti.. huhu.. if early, then i'll be reaching the place around before 8 am n will spend sumtime to read magazine/newspaper n relax before jalan kaki to the office..

parking in the tropicana city business park is not in my budget.. definitely.. i tried in the early week n it cost me around rm8/rm9 per day.. senang kira, rm 10 la kan.. it doesn't show when i swipe my touch n go n i have to wait until i meet the batu tiga toll to know dat.. adoi.. koyak poketku ini nak menopap jer manjang.. huhu..

having my lunch time berjalan2 all over dat area on my 1st day with the boss' wife really my 'aha' time.. luckily she has the time to show me around melawat kawasan.. then i know where to park with less cost, where to makan n where the surau located.. baru tau plak kewujudan basement kat bawah tu.. baru tau jugak yang the parking is bersambung dengan parking for the mall.. siap ader tram lagi nak bawak pi mall kalau malas nak jalan kaki.. tapi tak tau la timing dia.. ader la reserved parking all over the place situ.. silly me, haha..

quick organizing n adapting myself to the new environment.. managed to park outside the park n jalan sket to office {exercise la konon, but ok what??}.. with only rm80 per month, it's affordable with kinda rm3/rm4 per day.. suit my bajet yang tight manjang tu.. as i live with my parents, i also save up due to my lunch sebab everyday bawak bekal from home.. alah, roti jer pun.. what's the fuss kan?? kene ajar sket perut ni timing makan balik.. kalau tak, mengunyah jer dulu.. hoho.. lagi satu, don't eat too much or otherwise akan perut memulas jer.. haha..

work plak?? i manage things slow n steady for things tak sure n speed up untuk yang dah familiar.. even though keje straight bawah boss {my 2 jobs before pun like dat}, still sumtime ada takut2 jugak to meet the boss.. still sumtime hesitate to call clients, pickup message n do some explaining..

there's a lot i learn everyday.. i'm able to pick up fast n settle it accordingly.. notes for all the jobs written for my future reference next time, just in case i'm losing up my mind over sumting.. hoho.. just take up sumting gud from my last job..

i'm just not going to elaborate satu-satu keje yang dibuat cam keje lama tu.. oh then, maybe my diary will be on n off depend on the situation la kot.. or lebih kepada private/personal expression.. but as for sharing, mostly will be in dis blog la.. but if there's any infos dat i feel shud let others informed, then i will definitely share if i already know inside out as what i make dis blog pun kan..

journey to n back from office.. as i'm staying in shah alam.. n my work place is in tropicana/damansara damai.. i use the federal hiway to get to the glenmarie before entering nkve hiway n exit in damansara.. from there, ada 2 flyover dat i have to go through n straightly after the 2nd flyover, dok kat kanan n ader 1 signboard u-turn to seksyen 17.. u-turn n i will see the junction to enter dis area already..

untuk balik plak, i can use the same junction to exit dat area.. but all the time, traffic is so freakingly bad during that balik time dat i have to use jalan dalam to exit to ldp hiway.. memang ialah no need to stress myself up dengan balik using nkve sebab i'm using a manual car n nak kene tempuh jem lagi?? adoi.. jalan straight jer kat ldp tu before exiting myself in jalan majlis or kawasan perindustrian bebas before i manage to exit happily without much traffic n waiting in the line to get to the federal hiway.. terus jer ke batu tiga tol before entering shah alam with any 6 exits.. i tried almost every exit sepanjang hidup ni la, hoho..

if i balik around 6 pm, then i maybe sampai umah around 7 pm.. there dah ala2 sejam perjalanan balik.. masa pi tadi pun lebih kurang sejam jugak.. okey..

the other options yang bad ialah pi keje using ldp hiway n as mentioned before, using nkve hiway to balik shah alam.. tak sanggup to go for the experience sebab it will stress me seharian n menyakitkan kaki kiri yang dok main clutch sepanjang sangkut2 dalam jem ni.. huhu..

my first week title will be in series.. i think, there's a lot of first week in life yang mungkin akan boleh diceritakan later.. it's gud to have blog to share stories duh, haha..

til then, i'm signing off for now.. malam dah lewat.. i am unable to write on the weekdays sebab dah terlalu penat.. besides, there's a lot to do sebelum menutup mata around 11 pm daily.. kene tido awal sebab nak bangun awal kan.. i'm not really use to sleep early n wake up early, dat's why la kene discipline.. huhu..

everyone dengan keje baru pun will say that they are happy with their new job.. same la tu.. but dis job is less stress compare to the old one n dat bring a lot of differences in my life.. the most important part of all, i do not have to bring keje balik umah.. pemikiran untuk office thing pun tinggal jer kat ofis after step out from the door.. those who understand will really smile for dis sentence.. hehe..

for the time being, i'm not searching for new ones.. enough with dis job now n nak set in mind, do not have to keep jump n jump for jobs.. will try to stay for a long time, i hope.. savings n pelaburan kena amik kira dah sekarang, as my investments already started when i join dis new job.. oh, jangan salah sangka mlm plak yer.. my investments will be my property under my name n the holiday plans n all the travels.. dat's the investments i'm talking about here..

hopefully i'm able to deliver my jobs as requested by the employer n give the best of me for them.. my intention is to be happy in whatever i do n dat will include working in the company.. luv life mungkin sux sedikit, but that will eventually take time bit by bit.. besides working, spending a lot more time with my family before maybe lah akan kurang time tu nanti pada masa depan due to any reason at all..

hopefully, i will enjoy working here as the others do n akan di-confirm-kan n do my best for my life.. no money cannot enjoy maa.. best wishes for myself for my future undertakings.. n my next blog will maybe not bragging about my work la.. sumting else undecided.. hoho.. chiow for now.. muaahh..

cuak cuak

poyo jer kan tajuk ni..

but dat's what i feel rite now..

selepas beberapa bulan, i will start my employment semula on the next monday {17 may}..

cam cuak jugak.. kecut perut jugak.. uhuhu..

i know i will be able to do my best for my next job..

i know i can serve well n buat seperti yang dikehendaki..

but then, i'm so scared if i cannot deliver as expected..

how if tetibe the employer cam regret plak menggajikan i..

oh, cam stress plak tetibe..

i need sum strength.. i need sum words.. i need sum inspiration..

like sum people doesn't understand what i feel inside..

hopefully my new job will lead me for my career.. bukan setakat to earn money for my living..

i don't bother much about ot, about the workload..

i just care on employer yang boleh reward me setimpal ngan what i do..

tutup buku lama during my ala2 slave time..

bukak buku baru dan improve myself..

with my dear yang dingin, entahla..

my job is depend on me.. i am the only one yang akan mencorakkan my way of life.. i'm the one yang perlu maintain my discipline in tip-top condition.. jangan jadi cam keje lama..

i hope dat i can be successful too here.. seperti in my previous jobs.. where always be n do the best for own self..

all the best for me n all my future undertakings..

break the leg n gudluck for everything..

don't be a quitter.. don't run away for all the challenges.. i can do this..

my honeymoon time is over, but i know i can manage sumting yang lebih interesting to keep up with my work..

i can do this.. may all the prayers be with me.. ameen..

when in rome

nampak macam ketinggalan sket, tapi still manage to catch dis film kat wayang.. dat day ritu pi alamanda with rina tu la..

plan time baek punya to get the tickets not too long before masuk wayang..

as usual, the poster..

credit from here..

amik gamba dulu before lampu ditutup.. macam nampak la sangat, hoho..


gelap jugak ah.. haha..

the story is about beth {kristen bell} n her luv life.. she's a workaholic event planner {oh, mungkin if i accept the event planner job my life akan jadi like hers!} yang hidupnya ialah all about works.. managed the big events n engaged with all the important parts of the events n trying to keep her boss impress ngan her jobs all the times.. nak jaga gud track records kan..

citer stat with her organizing an event {yang mana event tu berjaya}.. bertemankan beberapa best buddies/co-worker/colleagues, they did it.. unfortunately, tetibe his ex-bf datang to surprise her for a marriage.. tapi bukan sebenarnya..beth cam ala2 cuak ingatkan ex nyer nak berbaik n perhaps kawen ngan dia, but actually the ex jumpa beth n tell her dat he met sumone just like her n they plan to get married soon.. kawan2 beth tersilap dengar n tersilap shout yang menyebabkan the deejay tersilap paham sampai congrats beth siap pasang lagu kawen lagi.. haru2..

supposely the day ialah menggembirakan, tapi dah di-hampeh-kan dengan incident tu.. balik umah plak n melayan her younger sister.. dikejutkan dengan news dat her sister nak kawen with sumone italian yang kenal during flight tak sampai 2 minggu.. their planning is to marry in rome, which then forced beth to take a-48-hours-leave pi balik rome {sebab in tight condition of organizing an event} to be the emcee n pengapit pengantin perempuan during the wedding..

sum funny incidents happened during the wedding ceremony..

1st masa nick {josh duhamel my peberet hubby fergalicious} terkocoh2 masuk church untuk jadik pengapit laki pada masa yang sama his phone rings dengan sekuat2 hatinya.. annoying but cute dengan lagu yang ala2 rock or sumting meng-terkezutkan eveybody in the church.. 2nd during the breaking vase {pasu} as a symbolic nak tengok wedding couples tu akan hidup bersama bahagia selama berapa tahun.. si beth ni try baling2 vase tu {seperti dalam iklan} tapi tak pecah2.. nick penyelamat keadaan bila vase tu pecah dibaling di dinding, hoho..

3rd kononnyer la si nick ni nak jadik translator for everything beth's toast tu, tapi ending he failed n main taram jer translate ikut suka hati asalkan all the italianos paham dengan apa yang dibebelkan tu.. 4th plak the mother in law of her sis dok spitting kat beth.. si nick tu try to convince beth yang dat is done for gud luck, but maybe she doesn't like sebab beth ni buat macam2 yang mem-bad luck-kan pengantin baru.. haha..

the couples during the wedding toast, beth looked so gorgeous..

everything when smooth.. beth pun ala2 fell in luv ngan nick masa diorang dance.. the excitement spoiled masa beth nak ajak nick minum kat area fountain of love {yang famous tu}.. out of nowhere, a red-dressed lady smooch nick n menyebabkan si beth ni betul2 patah hati..

beth sit at the fountain {air pancut} tu n drunk.. she acted out of control when she started to pick up the coins inside the air pancut there.. ader la 1 goddess {dewa} yang dok kat air pancut n the coins suma bertaburan kat bawah dalam kolam tu.. kononnyer orang dok baling2 coins tu nak cari jodoh gitu.. she picked up some before lari bertempiaran akibat disergah oleh polis nearby.. hoho..

kiranya si beth ni pi without saying gudbye gitu.. nak2 plak patah hati ngan si nick tu.. she works in new york.. 1 thing she doesn't know ialah everytime she picked up the coins tu, there are sumone out there cam star-struck gitu n macam under sumkind of spell.. dat spell brought all the coins owner to catch for their luv {pengutip coin a.k.a beth} sampai ke new york..

dengan tak disangka2, beth's life became miserable berhari2.. pi mana2 pun ader jer yang mengejar.. there are 4 of them.. seorang street magician yang tak penah perform in public tapi try out magics for beth.. seorang model yang ala2 stalk her sampai buka baju in a restaurant to impress beth.. seorang artist {pelukis} yang in his way to get her attention drew a nude mural of beth.. seorang veteran {50-an} sosej maker yang shower her with sausages.. memang weird when suddenly she got so many flower bouquets occupying her office's space, these 4 guys sentiasa berada anywhere near her n always try to catch her.. so babak berlari2 memang banyak la dalam citer ni..

hmm.. pasal nick yer.. he is a reporter.. famous as mangsa panahan petir/kilat during dat futbal game.. really likes beth n selalu jadi her saviour.. but sumhow, beth is so scared if nick luv her becoz of the spell.. dis is when she find out the same poker chips {salah satu coins yang dikutip ialah chip judi ni yer} kat umah nick which maybe belong to nick..

to stop dis spell, there are 2 choices for beth.. either fly back to rome n pulangkan coins tu kat dalam fountains tu.. or she has to return the coins back to the owner.. when the rite time comes to return, beth's assistant pi cilok plak all the coins.. menyebabkan beth n all the guys terpaksa datang ke art event {yang di-organize by beth's team} to get all the coins..

berlima menyempit2 dalam keter kuning kecik tu.. oho, menyelit2 gitu masa blackout n traffic jam.. dah ar kete tu cam lagi kecik dari kancil/viva.. haha.. kete kecik tu la yang squeeze masuk lift untuk naik ke gallery tu to get the coins back from beth's assistant.. chumill.. haha.. sumkind of tiba2 jer petir/kilat sabung-menyabung menyebabkan all the blackout when she returned the coins to the owner..

hmm.. nick pun ader share jugak yer dalam event tu.. he managed to get a painted picture yang dilukis oleh a famous artist dan bertemakan kesakitan/kepedihan.. n dat picture become the main attraction of the event n everybody happy with the outcome gitu..

beth rushing to nick's place {dat time ader party espn gitu}.. beria minta maaf gitu, but she doesn't return the coin pun.. memang surprise yang amat la when nick tell beth dat he really luv beth.. kinda luvey-dovey gitu n they plan to marry in rome using the same paderi {kawan nick}..

credit to here.. belakang nick tu la the goddess yang jaga fountain of love tu..

memang cantik sangat beth's wedding dress.. however, beth lari kuar from the church hall during the 'i do' of her part.. cam tak sanggup kawen if nick is still under that spell menyebabkan she return the coin to him back.. turn out dat coin belong to the paderi yang dok jeles manjang during the wedding vow tu..

oho, didn't i say all the 4 pax invited to the wedding?? nice one..

the four stooges.. from left: the magician, the model, the artist, the sausage maker..

ending of the movie is beth n nick smooching kat fountain of love tu.. cam tak sempat kawen lagi jer, hehe.. during the credit time {yang ending story ader list nama suma pelakon, pengarah suma tu}, suma orang menari dengan best nyer.. beramai2 gitu..

out of 10, i give 8 la for the movie.. parts yang best kat movie ni during that 4 guys plus nick nak mencuri hati beth.. for the ending, romantic comedy mestilah heppy kan??

oh, ader part during nick n beth nak buat their 1st date gitu.. si nick ni ajak beth pi kat restaurant yang gelap giler, tak nampak apa pun, complete blindness tapi masih dikejar oleh these 4 pax.. ader jugak time kawan nick help to investigate beth yang menyebabkan beth di-cop player sebab ader ramai sangat spare-part padahal suma tu under spell nak mengejar her luv..

dis during beth bawak nick pi sumplace yang dia rasa tenang {which is the gallery} after the kelam-kabut session in the dark restaurant..

part takleh blah masa si artist tu kejar beth semata2 nak lukis her feet.. beth lari cam nak rak sebab takut he is sumkind of pervert..

hmm.. i refresh my mind on the movie using this website as my reference.. but i memang tengok real la, cuma tak dan la nak catat satu2 sepanjang wayang kan.. my priority of movies memang comedy/romantic/animation.. so, jenis2 ni jugak la yang akan di-review-kan for most of my wayang parts yer..

tanpa berlengah lagi..


i'm presenting kota mahsuri ni..

disebabkan kitorang masuk terus di-dropkan depan entrance bangunan tu oleh our bus, tak sempat nak amik gamba terlebih dahulu la.. hehe..

untuk masuk bangunan ni, we have to pay for the tickets yer.. bukan free tau.. untuk orang dewasa kena bayar rm 5 seorang..

suma pengunjung kena buka kasut sebelum enter the gallery ni.. oh, lagi sekali tak amik gamba.. mak dah tunggu dah anaknyer yang suka lambat2 nak amik gamba sana sini ni.. hoho..

inside the gallery pun takder langsung gamba yang di-capture-kan.. dis is becoz rules n regulation kat dalam gallery ialah tak boleh amik gamba.. sebagai seorang warga yang patuh kepada peraturan, i don't hold my w980 at all sepanjang berada dalam gallery ni..

gallery tu berbentuk pusaran di dalam.. di dinding2 diceritakan tentang kisah mahsuri.. semasa zaman kanak2nyer.. semasa zaman dara suntinya.. semasa mengandung yang suaminya terpaksa keluar outstation.. semasa difitnah.. semasa kejadian darah putih..

we all cam familiar kan mengenai mahsuri?? sedikit summary la kot..

ibu dan bapa mahsuri merupakan anggota masyarakat yang dihormati dan disegani di kampungnya.. tetapi masih belum dikurniakan anak {iaitu mahsuri}, walaupun usia telah lanjut.. ada satu kejadian ketika sedang bercucuk-tanam {kot??}, mereka terdengar kerak nasi yang dibuang menangis.. terlupa pulak significant kejadian ni sebab sebok memberi arahan kepada ofis thru fon.. don't forget yang holiday i tidak tenteram gitu..

tak lama selepas kejadian kerak nasi menangis tu, mak mahsuri mengandung.. dikisahkan mahsuri ni lahir ketika malam lailatul qadar.. air di perigi pun sejuk beku time dia dilahirkan tu..

ketika mahsuri mengandung, suaminya terpaksa outstation.. samada sebab pegi perang atau berkunjung sebagai utusan camtu kot.. masa ni la dia difitnah oleh seorang yang berkepentingan jugak.. akibatnya mahsuri disula akibat fitnah.. actually ada 2 peristiwa.. yang 1st memang tak ingat.. tapi yang 2nd tu ialah kuar darah putih jika dia tidak bersalah..

sebelum menghembus nafas terakhir, mahsuri bersumpah bahawa tempat simpanan beras yang ada di kawasan tu akan terbakar dan tanah langkawi tu tidak akan berkembang maju selama 7 keturunan.. dan yes, tak lama selepas mati disula, suma simpanan beras memang terbakar habis tanpa tinggal anything pun there..

so kira jangka masa 7 keturunan tu telah tamat.. even penanaman padi pun dapat dijalankan lebih kurang 3 kali setahun.. means, memang tanah tu extra subur la kot.. if i'm not mistaken, padi normal biasanya ditanam 2 kali jer setahun..

sambung semula penceritaan dalam gallery..

dulu la, ada 1 contest untuk melukis gamba mahsuri untuk diabadikan di dalam gallery tu.. mungkin all over malaysia punya contest la.. so there's a guy ni berdoa dan solat hajat sebelum/sepanjang melukis untuk mendapatkan ilham untuk lukisan tu.. mungkin beliau bermimpikan mahsuri selepas lukisan siap..

lukisan potret mahsuri yang dibuat oleh beliau seakan2 hidup.. macam 3-d gitu.. u can see dis potrait dalam gallery ni.. matanya seolah2 menangkap ur eyes, ikut jer sepanjang u melihatkan gambarnya dan berjalan ulang-alik di depan potret tu.. kalau melihat kepada tangan dan kaki potret mahsuri tu pulak, seolah2 real.. cam bulu2 roma tu tak seperti lukisan, lebih kepada still fotograf gitu.. mungkin dis the reason yang tak membenarkan any captures of cameras dalam gallery ni kot..

di tengah2 ruang gallery pun ada disediakan video kisah mahsuri ni.. a short mini video dalam 15-20 minit gitu yang diceritakan dan dilakonkan untuk menerangkan kisah2 yang terpampang di dinding gallery untuk pemahaman pengunjung.. ramai2 melihat dengan khusyuk sekali..

oh.. kinda nervous sket bila nak citer about mahsuri ni.. i've informed earlier about sumting2 ni during my post here.. cuak2, huhu..

after dat session, kitorang kuar dan bergerak ke taman di belakang gallery tu..

ni macam entrance ke arah taman2 di belakang tu..

ada makam mahsuri..


ada telaga mahsuri..


suma orang berkumpul mengelilingi telaga mahsuri.. ada yang take turns untuk membasuh muka dan kaki tangan di sini.. oho, lebih berseri2 gitu..

ada orang kata air di telaga mahsuri ni tidak pernah surut walaupun pada musim kemarau.. ada jugak air di telaga mahsuri {tak tau la betul ke tak} yang dibotolkan dan dijual kepada pengunjung.. bought some n bawak balik walaupun not really into percaya sangat.. just normal jer.. hmm.. ada jugak yang kata air di telaga mahsuri yang original ni hanya tawar di area langkawi jer.. tapi bila dibawa ke luar langkawi, air ni jadi masin.. i've tried yang air dibotolkan tu, tapi takder pun.. wallahualam..

pemandangan sawah padi dari telaga mahsuri..


kat belakang tu cam ader beberapa rumah yang didirikan.. rumah2 ni suma berdekatan.. mungkin cam ala2 zaman dulu kot.. rumah2 yang berkaitan dengan kisah mahsuri ni n kita boleh tengok la, how sampai leh jadi fitnah2 tu.. rumah dekat kan, suma jiran2 leh nampak apa yang terjadi kat rumah lain..


ada jugak random pictures captured here.. taktau nak classified as apa la.. tapi the architecture memang best, boleh la cik rina datang sini nak mendapatkan ilham, hehe..


my picture amik kat taman ni..


ada taman burung.. silau, tapi cantik pulak tengok gamba ni.. hoho..


ni bangunan the gallery dan kedai2 di tepi tu.. amik dari luar, taktau nak cari angle mana senang n cantik nak shot dah.. hoho..


mak insisted to get her picture taken here.. actually memula cam ala2 candid jer.. akhirnya, posing sket for the capture..


dis is the entrance masuk la.. dis time our drebar n tourist guide sedang rilek2 di kedai luar tu minum pagi sementara menunggu kami2 ni selesai menjelajah.. ala2 dora the explorer plak, hehe..


hmm.. best la datang sini.. finally, i sampai langkawi selepas 24 tahun bernyawa di dunia ni.. hoho.. maybe later nak datang lagi to langkawi with my buddies la kot.. holiday without any interruption.. wah~~

manhattan fish market, alamanda putrajaya

perhaps my last hangout before nak stat keje balik ni kot.. hoho..

iyo lah.. simpanan semakin susut ni, kene keje keras n kumpul duit balik sebelum merayap2 lagi.. huhu..

in conjunction of my craving for "when in rome".. dah shout beberapa kali in blog n fesbuk..

supposely nak jumpa ida maybe in alamanda jugak, dah alang2 tu leh pi tengok movie ni.. macam nak buat 2-dates-in-a-row, which the 1st session with rina n the 2nd one ialah with ida.. arranged for both at the same time after dat, tapi in the end ialah ida tak jadik datang n just the two of us hangout n spend time together-la.. hoho..

fetch rina kat umah.. spent sum time to wait her bersiap.. oh, earlier on i bake sum apple muffins for her {actually them}.. macam tukar2 hadiah plak.. i gave sum muffins n a t-shirt, she gave my presents of a t-shirt, wallet n pens from medan.. oleh2 from there a.k.a my belated birthday present gitu..

after wayang n after maghrib, i insisted on dine in manhattan fish market.. macam nak refresh sebab last year pun jejak restoran yang sama, tapi kat bukit tinggi klang plak lebih kurang dis time kan..

so here we are..


sum environment kat dalam tu.. gamba captured using mine n her phone cameras.. mixed up sket la quality nyer, huhu..


we're having these for our dinner together..

i'm having dis fish n chips with choices of pacific dowry {rm 15.90}.. sedap, i like~~ memang mengidam nak makan ikan sepanjang hari, hoho..

rina choose to have dis manhattan caesar salad {rm 12.90}.. inside ader kubis, salad, tomato, roti keras, telur rebus n the dressing.. warna dia kureng menyerlah, kan?? i'm not really into it la.. lom sure lagi kenapa dalam salad ni kene ader roti keras yang dipotong dadu n telur rebus bersepah2.. huhu..

both pilih mango juice {rm 6.90}, takmo amik air gas for dinner.. the one dalam cup n saucer tu ialah tomato seafood chowder {rm 8.90}.. sumting cam tomato soup yang pekat dan sedikit masam n mungkin ader ketulan2 seafood yang kecik2 inside.. disebabkan roti keras kecik2 tu terlalu banyak dalam salad, kitorang rendam dalam chowder ni n makan bila dah lembut sket.. hoho..

dalam bekas hitam tu plak ader chilli sauce, white sauce n ginger?? chilli sauce tu pedas la, rina dok abeskan 2-2 bekas.. white sauce tu sedap sangat, cecah2 ngan my fries tu.. i'm the one plak yang abeskan white sauce ni.. while halia tu nobody touch, cam weird la.. taktau aper perasaannyer.. hoho..

enjoying moments of girly time.. takder cover2 lah.. cik kak sorang ni memang dok snap n candid me all dis while?? gosh, gamba buruk2 suma di-upload kat fesbuk ni.. siap buat album lagi for my day..

here goes from both cameras..

gamba secara solo..


cermin shots of us..


us..


sum creative shots from rina..

oh, yang last ni gamba ter-sesat suda.. hikhik..

both of us cam rilex sangat during dis lepak time.. citer about all the stupid things, problems.. for girls our age, maybe sum words do not belong to us anymore.. just living life n enjoying the every moments left.. thank god for making us gud listeners for each other even though sumtime annoying.. oho, dat cannot help la, haha..

look forward for the bali n hong kong planning in the future.. haa, cairo trip ko leh belasah jer ikut.. lagipun, bukan nak dok umah sangat pun, lebih kepada merayap sepanjang hari.. cepat2 kumpul duit lebey n make it real babe.. (^_^)
