A 3in1 Recipe (",)



Salam...

Today just wanna share this simple recipe which turned out to be a 3 in 1 recipe..

Meatballs ala-ala Ikea + Meatballs with potatoes and also daging burger...



The taste is good, I can assure you.. Trust me (",)

So, let's layan the Recipe (",)


Ingredients needed:

~~ 1 whole Onion.
~~ 2 cloves Garlics.
~~ 1/2 inch Ginger.
~~ 1 Teaspoonful Black Pepper (if you like it hot, you can add more)
~~ 1 Egg
~~ Approximately 4 Tablespoon Flour.
~~ 500g Minced Meat.
~~ Salt, sugar to taste.


Methods:

~~ Blend onion, garlic, ginger and black pepper with only a little bit of water.
~~ After you've done with blending, pour half of the mixture into a bowl containing the minced meat.
~~ Add egg, flour, salt and sugar into the bowl.
~~ Mix thoroughly!!
~~ Once done, make tiny balls out of the minced meat mixture and fry them.
That is shown on the first pic above, on the left.

Also, you can make a meat for burger out of it, just shape the meat accordingly and fry and then make your own burger with salad, tomatoes, cucumber, ketchup, mayonaise etc etc...
mmmmmm yummy yummy....





 Lastly, to have the Meatballs like on the first photo above on the right, just fry the remaining blended ingredients until golden and add in sliced onions, some water, salt and sugar to taste and add in cut and fried potatoes. 
Done!

A three in one recipe, Enjoy!!



mmmmm... sedikit selingan sempena Pilihanraya hehe..

Yesterday, I saw this photo on my brother's FB wall...
It was uploaded over a week ago, but only yesterday I'd noticed it.. huhu...
Ini lah akibatnya kalau malas ber FB...

This is my mom's house in Gombak... (",)
RINDUUUUUUUUUUUU....





Way to go mom... 

I'm not a fanatic supporter of any political parties, but I'm a supporter of any efforts in Making Malaysia a real Muslim Country~~
A real Muslim Country...

And of course, people might say, they use religion as a basis to get what they want...

But not him..

And I adore him....





Regardless of whatever political inclination you have, you cannot deny the humbleness of this man as a leader, and his influence to Malaysia and Kelantan specifically... 



"When there comes the help of Allah and the Conquest, and that you see the people enter Allah's Religion in crowds, so glorify the praises of your Lord, and ask His forgiveness. Verily, He is the One Who accepts the repentance and Who forgives.." Surah An-Nasr.

Something To Share (",)


Salam....
When Afeef was little, he was often so enthusiastic to help me with house chorus, like sweeping the floor, cooking, cleaning the toilet, washing the dishes, preparing his own milk, etc etc and I remember all these distinctly....
But problem was, I had never really let him, because instead of actually helping me, he often ended up leaving a huge mess for me to clean up :D

So, I chosed to just do everything myself because I didn't want the mess...
What a huge mistake!!

When I met my mom last time, mom reminded me again about this. Mom said, 
"Don't do EVERYTHING for the kids.."
"Let them do things themselves!"

Oh so true.... 
There's always something I get every time I meet mom... and thank God I still have a mom who'd constantly reminded me of the right thing to do..

So, my new mission now, to make sure the kids are able to do many things themselves...
Have you ever heard of a saying that goes like this~~

~~It is not what you do for your children but what you have taught them to do for themselves, that will make them successful human beings~~~~

How come I've never realized this before???
I keep doing things for them from A-Z when they are actually capable of doing things themselves, like clean the room, make the bed, wash the dishes, etc etc...

But..... it's never too late! 






So, by far, they started washing dishes themselves... I never had to remind them about this again (",)

Fatini always enjoys this task, errrrrr... actually she enjoys all house chorus hehehe...




They helped me in the kitchen, cooking, baking, usually I don't have to ask for help when it comes to baking and cooking, memang berebut nak tolong hehe.. 
Then ada la kejadian yang tak diingini, berebut itu, berebut ini, tepung tumpah, macam2 lagi... mama sabar je.. huhu..

Sometimes, I even wished that nobody noticed that I was baking haha!
Because Fatini and Aleena are sooooo into baking, so Afeef had to give in most of the time letting them do the jobs (",)




mmmmmmmmm..... (",)
Pancake, everyone's favorite!
Some tips: To have a fluffy pancake, use Self Raising Flour. 
Eh tertukar topik hehehe..




Today, little Aleena helped me with 'ikan bilis'....
I didn't ask for her help, she offered to help (",)

If I were still the same old me, I wouldn't have let her you know.. I would tell her to go play her toys!
But with this new mission and motivation, I felt so happy to let her help me with the 'ikan bilis' even though I was a lil bit worried about her mischiefs hehe...
So I let her.....




Though, after a few minutes......



mmmmmmmmm.......
It's ok lah hehehe... if we wait for everything to be perfect, by then, they won't be so excited to help with house chorus anymore...

They are just kids after all, kids are creative..... 



You'll see their creativity in everything they do... so, don't scold them,  just let their creativity grows... encourage them whenever necessary (",)




Yesterday, while I was in the bathroom, they cleaned the whole house without being told to do so... 
Wow, I was impressed!




Errrrr..... 
Rupa2 nya letak semua dalam kemah ni hehehe...
Patutlah pantas haha!
But, it's ok, those effort that matters to me, I still hugged and praised them for what they did hehe..



And, so far they made their bed themselves every morning without fail..
So happy to see this (",)
They remind each other, there was one morning I heard them waking up, they ususally chit chat a little before they got out of the room, and then I heard Fatini said,
"Afeef, kemas katil dulu..." hehehe..
True, kids are special in their own way....


So, to all mommies out there, especially housewives, your children tend to depend so much on you, because you are with them at home 24 7, and you tend to do everything for them too, thinking that you should because that's your job... but actually, it's not....
It's your job to teach them to be able to do everything themselves, to educate them, talk to them, tell them stories, remind them of the right things to do in life, correct them when they're wrong, listen to them when they have something to tell, (even if they talk about Power Rangers ke, Powerpuff girls ke, Luigi's Mansion ke hehe), care for them, love them, hug and kiss them everyday... when they start hiding things from you, that's when you have to bring yourself closer to them...
And you know what, it's quite fun talking to your kids, listen to their stories bout kindergarten, bout school, bout their favorite stories, while folding the clothes, while drinking together.. (",)
It's a moment we should cherish as a mom...
Don't miss every moment of it (",)

Most importantly, praise them, hug and kiss them for everything good they'd done, that way they feel appreciated and they will want to do more (",)





Lastly....
Yesterday, when I fetched Fatini from Kindergarten, she'd excitedly showed me the card she'd made for me (",)
She drew me (see this pic above) in red clothes, I was touched for she's aware of my favorite color...(",)
And later she apologized because she didn't know how to draw me in hijab hehehe...
And she asked,
"Berdosa ke gambar mama tak pakai tudung?"
hehehe... so innocent....

This kind of card perhaps means nothing much to us, but it means a lot to them.. 






Well.....
Every single thing means a lot to them...
Sometimes we were so uncertain about what the kids want, what they need, how they want to be loved? 
We were once a kid too.... what did we want?

Till later, Salam...

Spring Mood... (",)


Since I'm the type who don't mind living in a place where there's not many Malaysian around, and that I prefer to be alone most of the time, (so that I can read or listen to my kids talking all the time phew..), I realized that living in Germany is actually a true joy....
And that leaving all these behind is gonna be hard for me..
Already, at some point, the idea of leaving Germany for good brought tears to my eyes...




It's Spring now.... 
And I love Spring so much, flowers bloomed everywhere, people eating, drinking, having picnic under the sun... 
The atmosphere is full of merriment..
Just imagine after months of dark, gloomy days, suddenly the sun appears so bright, how exciting that is... everyone's craving for the sun!!
I love the sight so much....




I myself feel like flying, floating, rolling on the grass, jumping, dancing all at once hehe...
So beautiful...





Even Daisies look extraordinarily beautiful... ***sigh***
This year's Spring terlebih 'feeling' sket, because perhaps this will be our last Spring.. 
mmmmmmm.... last Spring in Germany la kot...
Taktau la kot kot ade Spring kat Korea ke, Jepun ke lepas ni hehehehe!






Ok lah, that's all for now about the beauty of Spring, more updates later insyaAllah..
Till later....





~~One of the best feelings in the world is knowing your presence and absence both mean something to someone (",)~~

Tetibe jer... hehe..

Spring Holiday part2


Salam.....
I have so many things to write and share here but I just have no time...
Don't tell me housewives have lots of time, don't tell me housewives have nothing to do at home!
There are lots and lots of things to do, that I wish I just have more time in one day!!

errrrrr.... hubby always says that we don't actually 'Have no time'.....
It's how we managed the times we have... Agree????
mmmmm.... btol la tu.... hehe
I have to work smart, think smart and waste no time....


So, a little update about my previous entry ~~Spring Holiday.

After we left Izu's house, we went to central London, the Malaysian Embassy specifically... hubby went there to renew his passport. Afterwards, we had our lunch at Hyde Park London, Nasik lemak yang Malaysian habis hehe and mee goreng...





At Hyde Park, London (",)

After that, we went to Malaysian Hall, solat Zuhur and Asar sambil Afeef pekena nasik sepinggan lagi haha!

Then, we went to Tower Bridge...
Glad that we finally made it here, the last time we were in London, we'd made a mistake and ended up in London bridge instead of Tower Bridge.. hehe...
And of course the view at night was even more mesmerizing I supposed (",)




Thank God the kids were all so strong and supportive and energetics... we didn't even have a stroller with us.. We just have each other to keep us stronger and a spirit so huge to meet my mom, my sister, my niece and my new niece!!!!!!
Seriously, I felt like flying straight to my sister's house!!!

Our train to Loughborough UK was due at 10 pm that night, so the plan was to wait at the train station until 10pm and get the kids something ( I bought them magazines and something for them to play with) to keep them awake. Can't afford to let them sleep before we get on the train because we didn't have a stroller with us!!
And 10pm in UK was 11pm in Germany!! Far past their bedtime!! 
But Alhamdulillah, everything went as planned (",)
It was a long day, but they were all so strong... Thank you so much, Afeef, Fatini, Aleena, for making it easy for mama and papa.. (",)




So, the moment we got on the train and settled in our seats, they were all in ~~Lalala Land~~
 hehehe...
Tengok Fatini tu sampai mengalir air liur basi hahahah!

I on the other hand couldn't sleep at all, was so excited to meet mom and adik and new baby, so I spent the time chatting with hubby and reading (",)
Adohai, while writing all these, all the feelings came back to me, mmmmmm...
There this warm feelings inside and excitement I couldn't describe... I long for that feeling again (",)

At about 12am UK time, we reached Louborough UK, where my sister's hubby waited for us. I woke Afeef up, and Hubby had to carry Fatini and I had to carry Aleena, tapi x pe, it was just a short walk before we got on the car.
It was just a few minutes drive.
And then there we were, at my sister's home, they were all still awake and waiting for us even though it's very late!!
Oh..... I miss those moments....


So, lets just make it short, among the few interesting events while we were in UK:

A trip to Manchester, UK.....





First stop, a friend's house in Manchester...





Then, Manchester United Football Club....
Where my mom initially wasn't so interested to go, but......


End up buying most hehehe...



Eh??...



My mom khusyuk memilih hehehe..




Dan jugak makan2 di Manchester, 'Mandi Rice'...





The next day, we went to Stonehenge...



Errrrrrr.....

Rezeki cik Aleena, jumpa Teletubbies kat Carboot dengan harga 50sen hehehe...
I've been searching for Teletubbies for Aleena coz she loves it so much, but never found one in Germany.. kalau ada pun, mesti mahal..
So, memang rezeki dia lah, hepi tak terkata, mama pun hepi jugak hehe..




She carries it it with here anywhere she goes (",)


Then Carboot, my sister and her hubby took us there...



Dan inilah hasil nya...... hahaha!!!
Just imagine ok camne kitorang hangkut bawak balik hehe...
Kuda besar dapat free, kuda kecik 2pound + hadiah buku2... 
Dan ada lagi barang2 dan buku2 from previous Carboot hehehe...

Most books 20pence each, ya Allah Heaven for book lovers!!!
Kalau ikut hati macam2 buku lagi nak beli, tapi tatau camana nak angkut balik German je...




Ade jugak basikal Barbie, cantik!!! Siap dengan carrier kat belakang, dan bag Barbie kat depan, 10pound je!! Tu pun bila kitorang cam x nak beli dia nak offer turun harga lagi!
Rasa cam nak cakap, 
"Oh we definitely think 10pound is cheap enough and we definitely wanna grab it even if you don't reduce the price, but we can't because we don't know how to 'angkut' it" heheheh...

Kalau Flohmarkt sini, basikal cantik camtu mesti at least 30euro!!!

Fatini pun menangis2 nak beli jugak, kalau lah kami memang penduduk UK memang dah beli tau .. tapi apekan daya kan...

Memang nikmat lah dok UK ni.. 
Ape pun, bersyukur dengan ape yang ada... (",)
Alhamdulillah diberi peluang merasa semua ni, dan dapat jugak carik buku English banyak2 for the kids and myself too...





Rezeki Nadrah, kuda2 ni kami tinggal aje (",) 


There's more stories actually, later I'll update insyaAllah...



The kids were having a great time... (",)
Playground only a few steps away from my sister's home. 


***sigh****

I miss those moments.... 
Terribly....


Lastly....


A Piano cover by me, 
This time I dedicate this specially for those who will be getting married soon (",)

~~Impian Kasih, InTeam Sentimental version~~~




Used to love this song so much, and still love it very much...
Lovely (",)

Enjoy!

Till later, Salam....

Part of Life~~~ Meet and Depart....


Salam.....
So not in the mood to update this blog for these past few days...
Feeling a little bit empty....
mmmmm...
We had reached Deutschland last Thursday evening after two weeks holiday in UK with my mom and my sister and my nieces...
Despite all the fun and merriment throughout the whole two weeks, funny for the ones that remained in my head were the moments spent in the kitchen, in the living room, in short; moments spent inside the house... haha!
That explains that nothing can compare to the moments spent with your family...(",)
Oh, I miss them already... my mom, my adik, my cute adorable nieces... huhu...

But, that's part of life, we meet to create memories and we depart to preserve them... 

Wondering when will ever we meet again?? 
Will we have the chance??
InsyaAllah... (",)

So, since last Thursday, I've been not in the mood for anything... 
Though last Saturday hubby rented a car for work purposes, and we went to Flohmarkt (something like Carboot in UK), and we had been to Carboot twice in UK during our stay there, resulting an extra luggage!! hahaha!! Kalau boleh macam2 lagi nak beli.... hehehe..
So problem was, after I'd been to Carboot, I found Flohmarkt extremely boring.... 
Nevertheless, Saturday night was a lil bit exhilarating, we went to IKEA, I've always loved IKEA..



Kereta kali ini hehehe...

So, on Sunday, hubby lef for a work outside town, leaving us at home and me feeling even more lonely :'(
Dah lah sedih berpisah dengan mak tak abis lagi.... errrr.....

And hubby still is out of town, so I played this song for him (jiwang mode).... 

~~~~Tuhan Jagakan Dia~~~~~ 

Sentimental version....




Oh Allah, protect those I love wherever they are.....

Till later, Salam...
