Makan yang halal

Salam,

there's this blog i'm following, 
she wrote this post
berkenaan banyaknya benda haram yang kita makan dan kita guna.
sedih k.

sekarang ni, setiap kali nak makan luar sekarang macam payah je..
banyak tempat makan yang tak punya sijil Halal. 
maksud tak punya di sini sebab tak nampak on display langsung.
 pastu logo halal yang tertera macam tak leh caya pun ada.

why cant they display both the cert and the logo, right?
if you have the logo, that would mean you'd have the certificate too.

i had to ask each time (bila masuk kedai makan) bila nampak pekerja dia bangsa Melayu.
kebanyakan masanya pasti mereka akan kata halal, tetapi sejauh mana kebenarannya?

dan sekarang sangsi jugak, 
bilamana bangsa Melayu kita tak semestinya Muslim.
pelik kan..
ngeri pun ada.
the fact yang bangsa Melayu tapi bukan muslim
the fact that makanan yang dijamu/dijual tak halal.

....

i used to work in this cafe where all most of the workers are Malay (Malaysian/Indonesian) and the product is halal. 
But the then manager did not want to apply for a halal certification 
(the way she said it as if it was really difficult)

i stopped working, i still ate there after but now no more..
.....

ye, m akan menyusahkan diri sendiri setiap kali m keluar makan 
kalau m sentiasa sangsi dengan kesahihan halalnya 
but what to do.

i want to be sure, now, of all times.
yes i admit i didnt care before but since m dah sedar, i want to know the truth even if it means i have to check at jakim's website each time.
susah but it has to be done.

....


Penting!! Pig Skin Lining.

Salam,

Info for all.

Terkenang Kembali...

salam

i noticed that i cant be in a popular group
it was obvious in high school and more obvious in college
not forgetting uni

didnt quite fit in

....

i was friends with many in high school
but couldnt get really close to anyone when my best friend left

i made friends with each newcomer that came in 
but that didnt lturn into BFF and in the end i was quite a loner
(i felt that way)
not forgetting many other things that happened in those final years of high school

 HA HA
....

i made the mistake of "drifting away" from a girlfriend in college 
while trying to make friends with the popular people
guess i didnt know how to divide my time equally with both groups

i miss her.

i tried to find her on facebook 
but i forgot her name

i have her picture
i can still remember her face without even looking at it

a sweet girl.. 

i remember the picture
it was of us when we went for a function
like a Gala Dinner or something like that
i think she wore gold
not jewellery, her clothing 
=)

i also remember she came to the house for a project we were doing
and she wanted to go home as it was late
(we didnt plan for her to stay the night)
so we called up a cab and in the very very last minute we "accidently" missed the cab.
(if you can count hiding behind the phone booth as being "accidental")

scary wei..
i changed her mind at the very last minute coz it was late.. midnight or something..
it wasnt safe for her to take the cab or something like that
(dah lewat kan.. anything can happen.)

it was lucky for us the cabbie didnt see us or he would have us killed (literally)
you know, for ditching him..

(we, called the cab, 
so if anything were to happen we can actually check with the cab company 
coz they have the cabbies details but.. 
but instead.....) 

and 

she didnt bring her contact lens case so had to put her lens in water in a glass, 
or was it a cup or a small bowl...
i dont remember well but i think we did just that..
lol

kadang-kadang memang terasa silly bila fikir benda yang dah berlalu..

why we do what we did..
funny..

take care old friend..
wherever you are..

...
i remember in uni
hangin' out with my group of friends
oh we had fun!! loads of 'em
i made a fool out of my self countless times..

guess they didnt like it 
(me being a clown most of the time) 
as all of them drifted away ..
 joking joking.
no hard feelings..
(clown maa)

or is it time and/or other dominoes that made us change?

Assalamualaikum..

here are the chunks, with a different mix..

do take a look.
(scroll down)

cun tak?
(scroll down. hehe)

I mixed the Mixed Chunks (that would be the biggest section besides the white)
(oh you know, the turmeric plus pandan that was mixed with the colourless MP-refer previous post)
with white MP and arranged the individual chunks (green and golden orange) altogether..
(all are Melt & Pour soap base that I mixed with Aloe Vera gel-blended-fresh from my dad's garden, 
Virgin Coconut Oil and Honey)

First half of the pics are the ones freshly out of the mold 
(a tupperware really)..

 

  i divided it into 2..
and cut it into 4..


pics, next half, are the ones that's i've 'cleaned' up a bit.


 one a tad too much!


inspired by pasito a pasito.. modern art..

....

when am i gonna start with my CP!!!!

(heavy sigh)

=)

Assalamualaikum..

Its been awhile..
been busy at the office, googling recipes for soaps, drooling over images of soap.. 
but not having (ehem..making) the time untuk buat satu soap pun!!

sebenarnya, tak jugak..

I did, last month, not a CP soap, just an MP soap. 
m masih ada MP yang m perlu habiskan.. lazy!!!

i tried making the chunk soap but i totally used the wrong colours.. :(

full story.. incoming...!

mixed clear MP base with 15 ml of aloe vera (isi jernih yang diblend) with 10ml of VCO and 5ml of honey or was it more. tak ingat lah, tapi memang m letak sume tu.

divide it to 3, 
one with pandan colour 
(real pandan blended with water to get the colour okay!),  
  
another with turmeric 

 and the final one remain colourless.

i havent used it so tak tau la if the turmeric pigments will stain your skin..
meaning kulit berkemungkinan bakal jadi kuning.. 
ala kalau ye pun, sikit je kut, no harm, its just kunyit! 
bukannya artificial colouring pun..
dan memang ada juga masa-masanya kita sental kulit kita dengan kunyit pun kan.. 
bila pergi sesetengah spa atau sendiri buat kat rumah.. 
(tapi rasa-rasanya tu kunyit hidup kut..) 
apa-apapun..point utamanya kunyit hidup atau kering, dua-dua leh jadi kuning.

well, yes, back to the colour combination used..

the pandan and turmeric was made into chunks 

and the clear MP is colourless laa.. haha
no, clear MP not made into chunks. not made into anything yet..
i left it in the pot biar dia keras
sebab m tengah buat yang 2 kaler tu dulu. 
later baru m cairkan balik dan...

poured the clear MP into a tupperware and dumped the chunks inside 
so as it turned out, since they are all clear abislaa colour tu.. !!?!
tak nampak sangat kaler hijau biru (from the pandan) and golden orange tu (turmeric)..


sedih! 
m patut guna white base 
and then dropped the chunks in, should be beautiful..

but dont fret, 
i still have the chunks available, 
just need to 'make' time to melt the white base in..
maybe i'll do that soon...

Sarcastic? umm.... no..

Assalamualaikum..

...

i seem to have a problem conversing with others..

it seems that the only people that can tolerate me is my one & only,
bestest friend forever and ever..

even me hubby is STILL trying. haha

m nya social skills nampaknya makin negatif.. kut..

people cannot distinguish my normal sentences from the sarcastic ones,
when m not even being sarcastic.

ouch!

fact: i use the right words at a particular moment
but ada je perkataan lebih baik yang patut m gunakan bila difikir balik,
plus the fact yang m nya tone bila bercakap pun tak bertapis,
without me realising it of course..
;)

kalau nak m fikir dulu SETIAP kali m cakap alamat tak bercakap sangat la m.
(mesti ada orang tu suka tau..kalau m tak bercakap)

dah laa m ni, bila start bercakap, lambat sikit nak berhenti.. hehe
(yang ni memang ketara, bila melepak dengan kawan-kawan lama.
tapi dah lama pun tak lepak, tak tau la cakap banyak lagi ke tak...)
:(

...

fact: i have to admit m ni jenis yang tembak dulu baru tanya soalan.
it works but I cant really recall exactly if it works ALL the time or just MOST of the time..
janji boleh pakai, walau sekejap..

hahaha

...

i think i have to learn to smile sambil bercakap, SENTIASA.
which is totally IMPOSSIBLE in my case because i CANT do it.
(please dont talk to me about positive thinking, it just doesnt work on me)

m not totally refusing it but what you see is what you get.
i dont hide what i feel, MOST of the time.
or is it ALL the time..
hmmm..

so kalau m tengah buat keje and m tengah stress takkan m nak terus senyum kat orang.
(pernah gak buat)
tp tak sincere laa..
nak from the heart lambat sikit aa kan...

....

cemane ye..

ada idea?

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri!!

Salam,

Selamat Hari Raya AidilFitri!!

Maaf Zahir & Batin!!

kalau m ada buat salah kt sesapa,
yang nampak atau tak nampak,
yang sengaja atau tak sengaja,
mintak maaf banyak-banyak la ye.

bila masuk bab-bab cam ni, m bukannya tau bila m akan tinggalkan korang semua pun..
(kalau m leh pikir ni and lebih tertib dalam solat m, lebih bagus kan - banyak sebenarnya yang masih perlu dibetulkan. m harap m sempat sebelum tiba waktunya, InsyaAllah..)

Ramadhan dah lepas, puasa sememangnya tak penoh.
 jadi masa untuk menggantikannya adalah sekarang..
Posa nam dulu pastu posa ganti.. pastu posa selang sehari lak, kalau larat.
Kalau larat... habiskan yang kena ganti dulu tau..

mana tau boleh memperbaiki diri dengan berpuasa..
(solat tu cuba-cubalah completekan 5 ye, a reminder for you and me)

m tak kata it can completely get rid of all your bad habits
but it surely can help and mana tau,
dengan izin Allah,
betul2 bad habits yang tertentu leh vanish secara total.

m banyak buat salah, m tau.
(m tulis ni hanya peringatan untuk m,
lebih kepada diri m sendiri,
benda baik kita cuba contohi kan..
benda yang tak baik, kita cuba jauhkan..)
sepanjang hidup m, memang banyak salah m buat.
m rasa macam tak terkira jadi di waktu Ramadhan yang baru lepas ni,
m ulang-ulang doa standard m hampir setiap kali lepas solat.
mengharapkan keampunan dari Allah Subhanahuwataala.
mengharapkan macam-macam lagi.
untuk dunia & untuk akhirat..
untuk m,
untuk keluarga m,
untuk umat Islam..

....

tapi sekarang pun dok buat salah jugak lagi..
tak taula pasai apa tak leh nak fikir secara waras.
ketenangan tu lari lak di bulan Syawal ni..
perkara-perkara negatif lebih menguasai m..
(setan dah terlepas wei, setan ORI dan setan dalam diri sendiri, dua-dua bahaya)

heard that people yang stress akan lebih mendapat penyakit.. kalau boleh tak nak la kan..
kalau boleh m nak happy sentiasa.. tapi macam payah lak recently.

masa raya haritu memangla happy beb..
dapat makan banyak lepas hampir sebulan control makan..
walaupun tak dapat duit raya macam masa kecik-kecik dulu.
(dan walaupun m miss nak makan apom teloq m setiap kali balik kampung
oh, sungguh geram dan bengang!!)

balik kampung, pegi shopping, semua tu memangla best..

balik KL, tetiba post holiday blues lak..
kerja tetap kena pegi, mana nak cekau duit beb kalau tak gi keje, betul tak?

nak duduk rumah kang, tengok TV je memanjang,
badan masuk angin lak nanti, pening sebab lama sangat tengok TV.
pernah jadi sebab tu leh cakap. 
(lagipun cuti tahunan pun dah nak abis jadi ni berangan je lebih.)

....

bila la nak start ada keje sendiri kan..
can arrange your own working hours..
takde la kena masuk jam 8 pagi... lewat la sikit..

tapi tetap kena berdisiplin dalam menghasilkan idea/produk/etc.
itu penting!! kalau tak, lingkupla bisnes che mek ooi!!

....

malam tadi tak leh nak tido,
pas jam satu pagi kut baru tido,
badan masuk angin, sakit kaplaku..
sebab pagi Ahad tu lambat makan..

(semua berhubungkait, lambat makan sebab lambat bangun, lambat bangun sebab malam sebelum tu layan cerita Shutter Island-confirm -jokingly- m pun bakal dapat a twisted mind like Leo in the movie, not as dangerous as him though but dangerous enough)

minum air segelas (time ni dah mandi dan siap untuk kuar k),
bawak budak-budak kuar g tengok movie,
ingatkan sempat la g beli hotdog ke, popcorn ke..
tapi orang dok beratur bukan main panjang memang tak sempat le..
last last skali makan pas jam satu tengahari..
nak petang kepala dah kasi hint hint dah,
 so petang tu tido la jap ingatkan leh ilang
tengok tengok dia attack malam tadi lak..

best..

nasib baik jugak leh layan Game of Thrones kat TV.
jadi takdela nak layan kepala sangat kan
(ni bab degil, sebab leh je paksa diri tido awal sebab sakit kepala
tapi nak jugak tengok cerita tu)
best wei, geram sebab dia bersiri je, kan senang kalau dia leh combine sume siri skali.

last last bila nak tido tu,
macam-macam dugaan yang mengganggu keinginan untuk tido.. letih wei!!
dengan post holiday blues lagi, dengan nak masuk keje pagi tu lagi..
dengan otak yang dok fikir benda-benda yang tak patut pikir lagi..
macam-macam lah!

semalam ayah tanya nak posa dak, m kata okay dan m kata tak nak bangun sahur.
ha, memang tak bangun pun!
makan tidak, minum pun tidak!
pagi tadi alarm dah bunyi banyak kali.
dan seperti biasa m akan offkan setiap kali m dengar.
tu la pasal!
tapi biasa kalau niat posa, badan tak masuk angin.
Alhamdulillah..  ;)

tapi pengakhiran untuk hari ni m belum tau..

let's find out!
blue or yellow..
blue untuk hari yang sedih
yellow untuk hari yang ceria.

chao!!
