Luar Daerah

February sees me commuting to sandakan almost every week. Pi sandakan, kinabatangan, lahad datu, beluran. Ini kali lah!!! Non stop outstation jalan darat. Journey ifrm kk to sandakan is 6 to 7 hours drive coz too many stops for pembelian keropok, dan kencing kencingan. I chose not to think of the tiredness. This is part of operasi "re building Nehemiah wall"(val punya own codded msg).

Went with teams. The Lord is good and gracious providing us wuth laughter and favour. Masa di sdk we stayed di hotel mark's lodge. Lawa ni hotel mcm org putih punya stail. Ala ala jesselton hotel. Love the timber laminated flooring but dont like the noisy aircond. Lupa i mau ambi pic bilik. Tapi paling best bila check in akan disambut dengan teh serai sejuk di gelas miring as per above pic. Bukan arak tu dlm gelas ah. Akak fall in love with the gelas miring. Entah mcm mana tu kilang potong ni gelas kan(keluar topik).

I m in lahad datu now masa menaip this entry. Masih menunggu org giat mara to take a look at our properties to rent. Biar si sara and zakir ja becakap dengan dorang.

Will be gg back to sdk afterwards another 3 to 4 hrs journey. Esok the last leg of this outstation to Beluran.

Ok tra love.till next entry

Cream Cheese N Butter Pound Cake

Seriously this cake was super yummy! Baked by yours truly. Got this resepi frm one of the food blogs (i ll update the source nanti).
The taste was rich and creamy fluffy and very wangi. Pendek kata sangat sedap lah! Tapi awas.....i couldnt imagine berapa ribu the calories! Makan potongan kecil kecil with nescafe o tawar..sgt heaven! Baked this cake twice due to high demand from inak and family. Sempat i kasi tapau bawa balik keningau juga.

Ingredients:
150 gm butter
140 g cream cheese
4 medium size eggs
150g castor sugar
2 tbsp susu pekat(ini i add sendiri...bikin kasi creamy)
195g self raising flour
1 biji lemon(parah jusnya)


Chara-chara
1. Pukul hingga kembang butter,cream cheese,castor sugar
2. Add telur sebiji sebiji and pukul hingga kembang again
3. Add jus lemon, susu pekat
4. Fold in the flour
5. Line cake tin with butter and bake for 50 min 150degree celcius (adjust temp ikit oven memasing- i started with 140 degree for 30 min and 150 for the next 20 min). Boleh agak pakai mata masing masing, ngam ka tidak the temp.
6. Sejuk kan dan makan dengan nescafe o atau teh o tawar. YUMMY!!!

Bliss

Its 1730 hours, 29 jan, sunday. The weather is dark with a bit of guntur@thunder. Kind of like tis weather.it is so autumn. Autumn in bkt vor. Very dramatic. Last friday was the farewell party for the gm who had retired. It was super fun. The gals especially had so much fun...food was a failure tho. Too cold, too salty and too bland. The were many events happening simultaneously tht day at the hotel...awal kali the food kena masak. But itu tidak menghalang semangat pesta kami.

The mantan gm is a good man. He chose to retire didnt request for extension.

P/s this post is 1 week delayed. The pic is mcademia nut still in their shells. Kath bought in Pengkalan Kubu Kelantan. begini pula rupa macademia ori...

Pictureless Wednesday

Selalu org post wordless wednesday kan. Malas ku mengatur mau post pic pakei hp. The internet connection is so unstable. Bikin gergitan.

Anyway..how is everyone? Gong Xi Fa Cai! Long weekend from 21-24 Jan. Went back to Keningau for 1 day. Didn't manage to do much. Down with flu. Masa saturday woke up with sakit-sakit sendi di tangan. I tot pasal masuk angin. Being down with kesakitan made we realised how precious kesihatan is. Nejara betul i o jadi invalid. Punya boring and tidak dapat buat apa-apa.

Tried to rest but couldnt. Runny nose and mcm bangal-bangal tu telinga. Took some ubat yg sepatutnya bikin drwosy..but had the opposite effect! Inda menjadi sudah ubat drowsy to me.

End up with ubatan ala kampung. Asam limau with honey dan berstim buang angin. To date getting better.

Greek, kirai & tembakau

Hello...apa kabar semua?tis week had been quite full.kerja ofis,outstation dan ada ujian greek. I forgot to mention i took greek language as one of the subjects in my MTs. Tiada penyakit..cari penyakit kan. Adadadda dia punya stress level kan mcm time mau ambi spm dulu dulu. It was a test on greek alphabet ja bah...tapi guess what i failed the first test! The cikgu was kind enough to let some of us to re-take. Itu la pasalnya last week no updates for blog. Malar menghafal alphabet. Nanti i post pic the greek alphabet ah. As intro...hanya ada 24 alphabet compared to kita punya abc ada 26 kan. Abc...alpha,omega,delta....aitu lah abc nya.

Ok sambungan story kirai and tembakau. Sri tiada kirai and tembakau di putatan. Hanya ada di tuaran.memang kureng supply!mamaku terus pajak the kirai and tembakau. Gambar pertama ialah kirai and second tembakau. Bikin geli kan rupa tu tembakau. Mama ku bilang ini special tembakau namanya rongom.khas utk di buat penyuntilan!

Sekian itu saja story si kirai dan si tembakau.

I want to increase my greens intake this year.my usus pun mcm mau reject sudah meat. Too acidic. Cuma greens ni kena beli selalu bah kan...couldnt store in fridge for long.takpe..bersusah susah dulu bersenang senang kemudian. Tomorrow gg to tamu tuaran to bring my mom pi beli kirai daun dan tembakau. Do u all know there is a shortage of kirai daun and tembakau in the market nowadays?inda lah bah si S and M tau ni isu kan hahaha.mama ku bilang sebab cuaca hujan so itu kirai tidak dapat dijemur to dry them. Same goes for the tembakau juga. There are not many pekebun tembakau nowadays thus the shortage in supply.

Itu ja la maklumat mengenai kirai, tembakau and ulam.

Kg Keningau and Dream Team

Today we had the first staff mtg for the year. Ok...not too bad. Work is progressing and i thank the Lord for a good team. Indeed I am blessed with a dedicated group of teams. Nanti ada masa i ll post a picure of the dream team! All united with a common interest to improve the company. There are still many tasks to do, but we We hold on to the motto of "finding solution to siapkan kerja and jangan dulu cari kesalahan org lain". Teda masa mau mengorek sapa salah sapa betul, kasi siap dulu.

Lain cerita - ada sudah salon rambut di Kampung Keningau (SIla rujuk gambar pertama). Cute pulak tu. Cuci rambut RM3 or RM5 (if i m not mistaken, kalau gunting dlm harha-harga begitu juga lah. Best kan kalau ada skill ni. Di mana mana boleh cari makan. Satu hari dapat RM20 pun syukur kan. Nett u know, teda payah pay tax and sewa premis. memang keluarga Pillin adalah regular customers kpd Salon Desa tersebut.

Do u all remember si Owel? He is a big boy now. 3 years old and alrdy in play school now. His favorite is bertukang with real tools. Such an adorable boy. Penghibur kami.
