Selera kampung...mengimbau kenangan lalu yg syahdu.

Dulu dulu masa kecil kecil,rumah keluarga cikson di JPL adalah rumah kampung...typically Malay house built on stilts. Atap zinc yang bila panas hari membahang panasnya. Dan bila malam sejuk gedi hingga menggigil body. Air telaga dan jamban timba.....haha.

Yes,u children could visualise my childhood and teen life back then.

Well,thats not that matter.
What I want to tell u all is that we are self sustained thanks to the dilgence of tt and tokwan mat.
We have chickens and ducks....eggs a plenty.
We have pokok pisang,pokok ubi,pokok keladi around our tiny weeny compound.

Goreng pisang tak kena beli, ubi kayu rebus menambat hati
Buah betik boleh di gulai,di jam dan menyicah petang hari

And in RBL compound,tok Saad dilegence saw us with many free source of food.

ubi rebus free

tambah gula sira dan santan kelapa....yehaaa

The other day, ubi rebus makan dgn gula sira and santan pekat was yummy. Lama tak pekena macam ni.
Alas, a basketful of eggs went to waste when it fell down on the floor. I was sorry for not noticing the eggs. Tidak boleh buat telor asin utk jadi bekalan puasa nanti.

kesian...ayam

This afternoon,rasanya nak menggulai pisang yang diterima semalam...gu dengan tulang ikan masin yg ciklin beli dari Kuantan..

Hmm by the way...tanah dikeliling rumah masih kosong. Entah bila dapat diisi dengan hasil tani...

cucu nan sorang pun dah pandai makan2.

Have a happy weekend yangs....

My two yangs aka sayangs are spending their weekend on an island off the coast of Trengganu. Ke Pulau Redang mereka dengan sepupu sepupu belah tt. Hope they have a blast time there n not forgetting to take care of themselves.

gambar googled ....rindu damai ini

A number bearing 03 xxxxx was humming on my phone.
At the the other end a hoarse and powerful voice greeted me..
Oooi...mamat mana pula ni . KL nombor pula.
Eh...kami  la...si anak bersuara. Sekarang rumah dah ada phone number.
Ye ke.....bersambung menyambung kami bertukar bicara.
Eh  kenapa tak join sama pi Redang? Kerja kerja juga. Tapi sekali sekala kena relax minda,ubah suasana.Pi la jalan2. Si ibu memberi jalan.

gambar googled .....walau ombak menghempas batu,batu tetap bisu....

Semalam cikson jadi penunggu. Menunggu pintu dan menunggu jam.
Cik abang sayang yang baru saja sedikit pulih berkeras juga nak berpesatuan yg mesyuaratnya pula sebelah malam.
La nampak ka bawa kereta malam malam ni.
Walau ditegah walau ditentang,cikli tetap cikli. So lepas maghrib dah tak kelihatan kelibat dia dalam rumah.
Jam 11 ,dia belum balik. Thunder could be heard in the distance. Maka bertambah la satu degree lagi kerisauan cikson.
And it was nearly 12 when the old nissan made its way into the driveway..the owner beaming a happy smile.

Buat buang karan saja aku risau ,detik hati ini. Well ,got to apply the motto...overthinking kills. Tak perlulah jadi ombak yg menghempas batu....kerana batu tetap batu. Ambil berkurun lamanya nak jadi pasir..

Have a happy weekends to the yangs di Redang,the yang having a sports day and the yang all by himself all day.

Happy weekend folks...love u all. bye.

Debar di sini banjir di sana

Jam 9.00 anakanda di KL called home.
Ma ..kami on the way.

I was watching tv at that time when drowsiness took the better of me. Slouched on the couch,I slept. Waking up an hour later and went to bed to have a proper sleep.

At a few mintes past twelve,I woke up.Switched on my phone and the first news that greeted me was the flash flood happening in KL. I was shocked to see the extent of the flood by the numbers of cars submerged in the water. And those roads were roads not unfamiliar to us. We used to travel on those roads.
UM road was the road we took when we visited our girl in college..

pakcik teksi atas teksi

Jalan Duta,Jalan Semantan and a few others were frequently used roads.


Girls...were they travelling on those roads to the east side of KL from OU Parklane condo..?
Syukur Alhamdulilah when I wassaped them ,a reply calmed me down.
Maaa...we are in Temerloh.
I gave a sigh of relief. Syukur sunggoh.

Glanced at the clock....Its 1.00 . Back to sleep I went.

My condolences to those caught in the flood. Pakcik teksi atas bumbung teksi had my heart. Semoga Allah permudahkan urusan beliau dan mereka yang terlibat.

Kepada anak2 dan anak2 saudara di Redang....take care.
Selamat pergi dan selamat kembali. Drive safely.

keadaan semalam

jalan yg selalu di lalui satu ketika dulu..

walau tingtong rasa kepala

 Walau tington rasa kepala
Siap juga gulai ketam masak nenas sebelanga

3 ekor saja belah dua
Dapatlah dimakan sorang tiga

Satu dimakan waktu tgh hari
Satu lagi utk malam ini
Dan yang satu boleh simpan utk esok hari.
Itulah cara nak jaga ekonomi...

Nenas sebiji banyak boleh dibuat resepi
Selain gulai ,goreng dgn telor pun boleh menjilat jari
Buat menyicah tokyu pun amboi sedap tak terperi
Mak mentua lalu pun tak disedari...

catatan ni cikson buat lama dah...terperap saja dia dalam draft.

Hari ciklin balik,dia beli ketam dua ekor di pasar tani.Cikson sejak disahkan ada ancaman gout sbb uric acid dah tinggi,cuba sedaya upaya mengelakkan makanan laut begini.
Dah dibeli,apalagi, siang,basuh dan terus masak gulai ketam.
Dan malamnya tangan cikson jadi gatal2 macam kena galagata..( entahlah...tak pasti pula sebutannya). Ruamnya boleh tahan gatalnya . Mujur dia hilang bila dua hari cikson basahkan dengan listerin.
Eh...pasaipa tangan ni boleh gatal tiba2 selepas membasuh ketam? Remains a mystery to me.

Semalam bergegas ke remedic ambil ubat kerana kepala rasa pusing...
Walau tintong rasa kepala,masih ke sana sini.
Ke KTM Arau beli tiket ETS utk KL kenduri anak saudara.Melayang 200 ringgit utk tiket pi balik dua warga emas....murah la tu.

Melihat bangunan bangunan yg makin rancak sedang dibangunkan , Kangar is fast expanding. Tapi bagaimana rakyatnya. Senangke cari kerja.Atau banyak dibawa masuk pendatang asing. Berurusan diklinik,selalu saja terserempak puak puak ini menjalani pemeriksaan kesihata, utk renew permit agaknya...
Tingtong kepala jadinya melihat mereka memenuhi ruang klinik. Pakaian mereka, senda gurau mereka dapat membezakan mereka. Riang saja sepanjang masa.

Thats all folks...no DIY or recipe kali ni..

Till we meet again,bye.
