Ayam Mussaman Siam

Alhamdulillah...
Baru lepas makan malam.
Nasi putih berlaukkan Ayam Mussaman Siam, sambal tempe dan kentang dan sayur sawi masak air.
Kenyang, walaupun makan seorang sambil ditemani Amad yang sedang tidur.
Petang tadi saya membelek resepi, jumpa resepi masak ayam ini di blog Abang Mat. 
Terus saya masuk dapur dan mulakan operasi, walaupun operasi agak terganggu sebab Amad asyik bergayut di kaki dan kadang-kadang di rak pinggan, kabinet dan peti ais. 
Tidak mengapa, dia pun nak belajar juga. ;)


Sedang bertukang di dapur, Encik Suami balik. Terus dia memuji-muji bau masakan yang masih di atas dapur (memuji dan membodek adalah hobinya).
Saya menghidangkan lauk yang siap dimasak, tetapi suami hendak ke kelas DS malam ni. Perlu bersegera  bersiap sebelum Maghrib. Tidak mengapa la ;-(
Makan lepas kelas nanti yuk.

2. Tinggalkan sedikit minyak dalam kuali, anggaran 3 camca besar. Tumis bahan kisar halus bersama serai dan lengkuas hingga harum dan terbit minyak. Masukkan sos tiram, kicap cair, sos ikan dan sedikit gula. Kacau rata.
3. Tambah ayam dan gaul rata. Tuang sedikit air dan masak hingga ayam empuk. Masukkan kentang, daun limau purut, cili ketuk dan batang leek, masak hingga kering sedikit, rasa dan jika ok boleh matikan api. Makan bersama nasi panas-panas.

P/s: Saya menunggu kepulangan suami malam ini. Harap-harap dia sudi makan, walaupun lewat malam. 

Walaupun namamu 'dustbin'

Walaupun namamu dustbin, namun ia bukan bermaksud untuk mengumpul habuk (dust).
Maksud saya, mengumpul habuk di atas penutupnya.

Gambar contoh

Amad suka merangkak bilik air, jika mendengar bunyi air dugunakan atau jika ada orang di dalamnya. Jika gagal masuk ke bilik air, kerana pintu tertutup, perhatiannya beralih ke tong sampah di tepi pintu bilik air. Amad akan menekan-nekan pedal tong sampah pijak itu. Penutupnya akan terbuka. Itu satu hiburan kepadanya. Namun, saya akan cepat-cepat mengangkatnya dan membasuh tangannya.

Jadi hari ini, saya basuh dan sental tong sampah itu. Selama ini, saya abaikan tong sampah itu. Sedangkan dari hari ke hari ia mengumpul habuk dan pelbagai jenis kuman bakteria. Yang pastinya ia bakal memudaratkan Amad. Lebih-lebih lagi, setiap hari mendengar khabar anak-anak sahabat yang mendapat penyakit berpunca dari habuk.
So, suri-suri rumah, bersihkan tong sampahmu...;-).
Dan seluruh rumahmu...

Learn To Appreciate...

One young academically excellent person went to apply for a managerial
position in a big company.
He passed the first interview; the director did the last interview, made
the last decision.

The director discovered from the CV that the youth's academic achievements
were excellent all the way, from the secondary school until the
postgraduate research, never had a year when he did not score.

The director asked, "Did you obtain any scholarships in school?" the youth
answered "none".

The director asked, " Was it your father who paid for your school fees?"
The youth answered, "My father passed away when I was one year old, it was
my mother who paid for my school fees.

The director asked, " Where did your mother work?" The youth answered, "My
mother worked as clothes cleaner. The director requested the youth to show
his hands. The youth showed a pair of hands that were smooth and perfect.

The director asked, " Have you ever helped your mother wash the clothes
before?" The youth answered, "Never, my mother always wanted me to study
and read more books. Furthermore, my mother can wash clothes faster than
me.

The director said, "I have a request. When you go back today, go and clean
your mother's hands, and then see me tomorrow morning.*

The youth felt that his chance of landing the job was high. When he went
back, he happily requested his mother to let him clean her hands. His
mother felt strange, happy but with mixed feelings, she showed her hands
to the kid.

The youth cleaned his mother's hands slowly. His tear fell as he did that.
It was the first time he noticed that his mother's hands were so wrinkled,
and there were so many bruises in her hands. Some bruises were so painful
that his mother shivered when they were cleaned with water.

This was the first time the youth realized that it was this pair of hands
that washed the clothes everyday to enable him to pay the school fee. The
bruises in the mother's hands were the price that the mother had to pay
for his graduation, academic excellence and his future.

After finishing the cleaning of his mother hands, the youth quietly washed
all the remaining clothes for his mother.

That night, mother and son talked for a very long time.

Next morning, the youth went to the director's office.

The Director noticed the tears in the youth's eyes, asked: " Can you tell
me what have you done and learned yesterday in your house?"

The youth answered, " I cleaned my mother's hand, and also finished
cleaning all the remaining clothes'

The Director asked, " please tell me your feelings."

The youth said,
Number 1, I know now what is appreciation. Without my mother, there would
not be the successful me today.
Number 2, by working together and helping my mother, only I now realize
how difficult and tough it is to get something done.
Number 3, I have come to appreciate the importance and value of family
relationship.

The director said, " This is what I am looking for to be my manager.
I want to recruit a person who can appreciate the help of others, a person
who knows the sufferings of others to get things done, and a person who
would not put money as his only goal in life. You are hired.

Later on, this young person worked very hard, and received the respect of
his subordinates. Every employee worked diligently and as a team. The
company's performance improved tremendously.

A child, who has been protected and habitually given whatever he wanted,
would develop "entitlement mentality" and would always put himself first.
He would be ignorant of his parent's efforts. When he starts work, he
assumes that every person must listen to him, and when he becomes a
manager, he would never know the sufferings of his employees and would
always blame others. For this kind of people, who may be good
academically, may be successful for a while, but eventually would not feel
sense of achievement. He will grumble and be full of hatred and fight for
more. If we are this kind of protective parents, are we really showing
love or are we destroying the kid instead?*

You can let your kid live in a big house, eat a good meal, learn piano,
watch a big screen TV. But when you are cutting grass, please let them
experience it. After a meal, let them wash their plates and bowls together
with their brothers and sisters. It is not because you do not have money
to hire a maid, but it is because you want to love them in a right way.
You want them to understand, no matter how rich their parents are, one day
their hair will grow gray, same as the mother of that young person. The
most important thing is your kid learns how to appreciate the effort and
experience the difficulty and learns the ability to work with others to
get things done.

Solat Sunat Dhuha

Tiba-tiba rasa ingin berkongsi di sini tentang amalan sunat, Solat DHUHA.

Ia adalah solat sunat yang dilakukan seorang muslim ketika waktu dhuha. Waktu dhuha adalah waktu ketika matahari mulai naik kurang lebih 7 hasta sejak terbitnya matahari (waktu syuruk) hingga sebelum wakt Zuhur. Senang cerita, saya selalu lakukan antara jam 8 pagi hingga 12 tengahari. Jumlah rakaat solat dhuha biasanya 2, 4, 8 atau 12 raka'at. Dan dilakukan dengan 2 raka'at sekali salam.

Masjid Negeri P Pinang. (Gambar hiasan semata-mata)

Sebenarnya, selepas solat, atau dalam sujud terakhir, boleh baca doa apapun, dalam bahasa Melayu lagi baik. Sebab kita faham kan?Doa yang biasa dilafazkan oleh Rasulullah selepas solat Dhuha adalah:

"Ya Allah, bahawasanya waktu Dhuha itu adalah waktu Dhuha-Mu, kecantikan ialah kecantikan-Mu, keindahan itu keindahan-Mu, dan perlindungan itu, perlindungan-Mu. 

Ya Allah, jika rezekiku masih di atas langit, turunkanlah dan jika ada di dalam bumi, keluarkanlah, jika sukar mudahkanlah, jika haram sucikanlah, jika masih jauh dekatkanlah, berkat waktu Dhuha, keagungan, keindahan, kekuatan dan kekuasaan-Mu, limpahkanlah kepada kami segala yang telah Engkau limpahkan kepada hamba-hamba-Mu yang soleh."

AL WAHHAABU: Ertinya Yang Sangat Memberi.

Khasiatnya: Barangsiapa mengekalkan membacanya pada akhir sujud sembahyang Dhuha sebanyak 40 kali, Insyaallah dimudahkan baginya kekayaan yang mudah dan hebat.

AL BAASITHU: Ertinya Maha Melapangkan.

Nasi dagang...

Salam tahun baru.. Sudah 5 hari berganjak ke tahun 2011. Pagi ini, sambil menguruskan Si Amad yang sudah 7 bulan, tiba-tiba dalam fikiran dan hati cakap, 'bestnya makan nasi dagang.' Teringat nasi dagang yang dibuat oleh K Long masa hari raya haji hari tu.

Saya cadang nak masak spageti untuk hidangan pagi raya. Sebabnya, apabila hari raya korban, menu kami setelah lembu dikorbankan adalah nasi, nasi dan nasi.

Tapi anak saudara yang sorang ni request nasi dagang yang dimasak ummi dia.(K Long saya la tu). Ummi dia masak  je la... 

Nasi dagang dengan lauk gulai ikan ayo or ikan tongkol dan gulai ayam.

Sepatutnya, makan salah satu lauk je. Tapi ni nasi yang dimakan oleh anak saudara saya. Mengidam sangat la tu.

Saya pun makan dua pinggan...

Sebelum pergi berperang ;)

Senjata untuk berperang berkorban..

p/s: Nanti saya dapatkan resepi nasi dagang dari Mama, pastu masak, pastu letak gambar kat sini...

He made this money available for exportation of Gold from Burkina Faso mining. Recently, My Doctor told me that I would not last for the period of seven months due to cancer problem. Whoever that wants to serve Allah must serve him in spirit and Truth because Allah is the Most High, Please always be prayerful all through your life.

Having known my condition I decided to hand you over this money to take care of the less-privileged people, you will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want you to take 30 Percent of the total money for your personal use While 70% of the money will go to charity" people in the street and helping the orphanage.

I don't have any child that will inherit this money and my husband relatives are not good not even good at all because they are the one that responsible for the death of my late husband in other to have all my late husband properties and I don't want my husband's efforts to be used by those that conspired for his death. I grew up as an Orphan and I don't have anybody as my family member, just to Endeavour that the name of Allah is maintained.... Am doing this so that Allah will forgive my sins and accept my soul because this sickness has suffered me so much.

As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank in Burkina Faso and I will send authority letter that will prove you the present beneficiary of the money in the bank that is if you assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. Hoping to receive your reply through my private Email address: mrshameedafarah@yahoo.com

Saya terharu, sedih dan merasa terpilih bila membaca emel ini. Namun, saya ada beberapa persoalan.
1. Ayat dia berbunyi: I saw your e-mail contact at Tunisian ministries of commerce and foreign trade departments. Bila masa pula saya terlibat dengan urusniaga kat Tunisia tu?


2.  And am contacting you from my country Tunisia I want to tell you this because I don’t have any other option than to tell you as I was touched to open up to you. Kenal pun tak. Entah2 saya penjenayah yg dikehendaki. haha... 


3. We were married for eleven years without a child. Ini ayat yang biasa saya jumpa dalam emel spam macam ni. Tiada rumah kebajikan ke kat Tunisia tu?


4. Am doing this so that Allah will forgive my sins and accept my soul because this sickness has suffered me so much. Ayat ni paling touching ;-)...
5. Niatnya nampak baik, nak menolong orang. tapi, ada udang di sebalik char kuew teow...
