Monday Morning Blues....

 Kuat betul angin tadi. Mooooooooooo dia berbunyi.Howling like the hyenas.

Monochrome is the colour of this morning. Everything grey. 

Well that reminds me of an autumn season in the northern hemisphere. I was damn lucky to have a one time experience. To be able to see for myself what autumn is like was God greatest gift. Sememangnyalah tak termimpi pun.

Kita rakyat marhaen, manalah ada keupayaan nak pi jalan jalan belah sana. But lucky was I when out of the blue I was chosen for a short course... in the land of castles !

I was fascinated by castles as early as ten years old. In standard four when I entered Upper Primary, I changed school. From an all Malay girls school to a coed school quite far from my village.

In this new school, BI was the key medium of instructions. Here I fell in love with fables and folk lore. Mestilah cerita dari benua orang putih. I read about Cinderella, Little Red riding Hood and hundreds others. From there I graduated to reading about adventures , love stories too. At a very young age I marveled at formidable manors and castles.The gladiators, the queens and the kings. The magic and all.

So, Thank to my lucky star, when I set foot In Scotland, there I was. Every morning and afternoon, walking the cobbled street of Edinburgh,I was able to see that magnificent castle... Hollyrood Castle right smack in the middle of the town.

The college organised a tour and into the castle we went. Dapatlah tengok bekas peninggalan raja raja mat saleh dulu.

From the college window I got to see the skyline of the town. Picture perfect . With chimneys and smoke .

Moray House College is never forgotten. KPM terimakasih kerana bagi peluang pi sana.

Ye lah... tulah satu satu peluang dapat pi tengok istana...haha. Selain Istana Arau.


Ni pulak sedikit gambaq yang cikson pinjam dari google.





Terjumpa pulak gambaq ni. 

 Chet ,how are u and the others.Dah 3 abad rupanya....



Thats all folks..reminiscing about good old time is good. Dementia at bay...hehe

Bila hujan nak turunnnn....

Morning has risen

 Rain seems imminent. From the look of it.

As I glanced over my laptop, the meadow across the road caught my attention. Heavy clouds line the horizon. Hujan dah seberang sungai nun.

Over to the sky over Kuala too. Gloomy with heavy clouds. Hujan juga kat sana.

Life is quieter in RBL with the cock gone over to the neighbour. If not without fail, cikli's xtrail rooftop would be his nesting place. Every maghrib he would be perched on it till dawn whern his crows would wake up the household.

Ayam jantan nak sekoq ni entahlah species apa ntah. Hambat dan liganlah macamana pun ,atas bumbung xtrail juga dia suka. Macam macam cara dibuat ,tapi lepas kami dah masuk rumah, dia kembali.Pagi pagi jenuh cikli nak bersihkan kereta sebelum bertolak ke ' kelas ' pagi dia.

Then one day, we spied upon a sight that would end our agony with this felon. Dia bawa marka or makwa balik pulak. Bukan sekoq tapi 3! Gebu gebu pula tu. 

Pandai no ngorat anak anak orang sebelah. Ketiga tiga ayam dara tu kepunyaan rumah sebelah pagar.Lepas tu dah datang rumah kita tak tahu jalan pulang. Tercari cari mereka.

Pintu pagar dibuka. Elok saja cikmek molek bertiga menerpa keluar. Si hero sekali.

Adik. ambiklah ayam jantan tu bela sekali. Kami mempelawa. Kesian dia sekoq sekoq kat sini. Tak ada kawan.

Since that day, tanpa dikurung pun ayam jantan penggemar xtrail sudah tidak lagi kembali ke RBL. Selesa agaknya dia di dalam halaman rumah barunya. 

Bye.

Thats all folks. Salam pagi Ahad.

Susah pula nak cari gambar ayam tu.

Nasi semalam ada lagi?

usah dikisah pinggan dan mangkuk,yg penting apa yg disauk masuk perut.


 Hairan cikson bila cikli tanya soalan di atas sekembalinya dari 'kelas'.

Setahu si isteri suaminya tidak suka makan makan di reheat. Yakni makanan semalam. Dia penggemar tegar makanan fresh from the stove. 

So bila soalan ini diajukan, the missus was taken by surprise.

Hmm..dah bagi ayam kan la nasi semalam. Dah tak berapa fresh. Si isteri memberi penerangan.

Sedikit kesal kerana tak simpan nasi itu dalam fridge malamnya.


Bukan biasa cikli nak request left over food from yesterday's menu. Tentu kena dengan selera dia.

Nasi ayam cikson masak utk makan kelmarin. Dua mulut saja nak mkn. So buat dengan apa saja bahan yang ada at hand. No fancy mancy.

Oh well, it turned scrumptious,delicious a meal in deed.

Rasa nasinya. Tak lah hambar macam biasa . Kalau beli tentu repeat order,gitu.

Amboiiii...angkat bakul ya cikson.

Sekali sekali jiwa kena bagi booster. Puji diri sendiri . Hihihi.

Asal jangan jadi macam banyak kes la ni... riak. Pompang itu ini, yg baik baik,tapi cuma lakonan semata.Yang di tulis, dilukis semua . Tapi hakikatnya... pengasannnn.

Haritu , anak anak listt down apa masakan yang ibu mereka masak..... haha. Panjang juga no.

Antaranya,antaranya....

Mee kuah, nasi kuning time piknik ,nasi lemak bawa naik gunung jerai tetapi acar tertinggal, kentang goreng nipis tuang sos, asam pedas.......... haha.

Thats all folks. Have a nice Saturrrrday. Bye.
