Lady's Finger

I believe most of us familiar with this vegetable. YES...it's a "lady's finger". Normally, I put this vegetable inside my Asam Pedas and it taste so delicious. However, this is the first time I saw it still hanging on it's stem. How "Jakun" I am even when I'm a girl who grown up in the village. I took the photo somewhere in Ranau, Sabah on the way back from Kinabalu Hot Spring. Lucky me to seen it for real...ha..ha...

Fried Fish

In the middle of frying fried fish today, suddenly something "snap" my mind. Someone I know from my working era (Am I that old..ha.ha..) had told me about how she used to eat plain rice with cooking oil used to fried the fish during her childhood. Of course we are thinking why on earth she eat that way. It's absolutely not healthy, RIGHT? and bla..bla..bla...
"POVERTY"! that is the answer. She only manage to eat fried fish and that the best dishes her mom could afford. When she grow-up and start working (which obviously she has a good one), she knew that eating that way is not healthy BUT she still eating it once in a while as it's become her favorite menu.
Sometimes, we wouldn't know what are the darkest story of those successful people and it make me thinking, we don't have a reason to fail. We just creating a reason for our failure.

P/S: Turmeric powder + a bit of salt + deep fried = A perfect Fried Fish for Lunch

1 tsp asen vanilla
2 biji telur
1 TBSP tepung jagung
Sedikit jem(apa-apa perisa)
Kismis
Cara :
1. Ambil beberapa keping roti dan sapu dengan jem permukaannya dan susun di dasar bekas/ loyang.

2. Lebihan roti yang tinggal, dikoyak-koyakkan dan rendamkan ke dalam susu. Ketepikan.

Went to my son's school this morning. He is listed as one of receiver for best student award. I'm so proud of him and I believe he could be someone on the top ladder one day...Insyallah.
"Dear Iqal, Mama and Papa will always pray for your success here and thereafter, Be a good boy and be nice to everyone....we love you so much."

STRESS!

WHY? Cause my TM Home line current charges are RM448.20. Actually, I've been using fixed line solely because of the streamyx internet line (I got a special offer before resign from my employment at TM previously). However, when my big brother saying that make a call from home line to home line is cheaper comparing to mobile so I give it a tried. For the first 2 months, the bill doesn't show any changes. More or less it is same as before. It make me think, it is true make a call from fixed line to fixed line save lot of my money. I start calling my Mama and Abah (they are staying in Sabah), almost 4-5 times a week and the duration almost reach an hour per call. Normally, I will call them 4 - 5 times a week also but I will limit my call like 10 - 15 mint per call. Now, I got to pay the bill and I'll definitely will not using the line to call anyone. For me, my prepaid CELCOM line give a big saving on usage as they have "8 Pax". I just top up RM10 and I can call my Mama up to 30 minutes and I know it is time to stop once the top up is fully utilized. "Sabar jer la kan......"

Me and Legal Matters

I'm not a lawyer and far from real...fully understanding in whatever they use in legal term. I feel headache, dizzy and wanna take a break from this thing and ask someone to settle the case on behalf of me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not in the position of being charge or whatsoever...it's just I need to prepare an answer letter to someone and as the person talk using legal language so we need to follow...like a DIGI Commercial...I will follow you. We did use a lawyer service the other day and you know what...just to translate a simple document they charge us RM800 and I wondering how much easy money this lawyer make in a month...???????? I'm not so sure if others lawyer or perhaps there's lawyer who not charging that much. As far as I'm concern, the three lawyer that we met quoting us more or less the similar amount and thus it make me think that I better do the reply letter myself rather than asking the lawyer services which obviously would add up the amount of money that we need to spend for.
I hope and pray really hard that I can make the reply letter using the right legal term and if anyone would ask me how deep of my legal knowledge...I would say Not that deep but I believe if you have the courage, determination and faith in Allah... everything would be so damn easy for you to go through....AMIN
