Abahanda

Hey peeps I'm back ! Back from "bercuti". Back with a recipe. Heheh. 

Let's call it "sosej dikepit roti" (?). It had became Abahanda's favourite. I used to cook it always before I went to France for 3 years. I cant recall ever preparing it since then, not even during my summer holidays at home. 

During my 8 days break before going back to IPBA, I was surprised that dad asked me to cook it again. I'd forgotten about it myself. Huhhurm. Just how dad's addicted to it ! I remember having perturunkan ilmu "sosej dikepit roti" to my sister before going off to France but, I'm pretty sure she never did it... 

I'd like to share the recipe with you too. We love to have it for tea or supper. Bila-bila pon boleh... Hey, malaysians just love eat ! XD

This is a preparation for 6 portions, ideal for 2-3 person. 

Ingredients

6 pieces of Gardenia/High5 etc.. bread

6 sausages

3 pieces of cheddar cheese

margerine

water

pepper and thyme (if desired)

Preparation

Cut sausages into 2 and boil to tender. (Kalau suka, you can just fry or grill the sausages but I prefer boiling untuk toskan minyak and hilangkan rasa masin. Note that frying and grilling sausages menambahkan rasa masinnya) You can add in some pepper and thyme into the water to flavor.

Cut cheese and bread into 2. 

Apply a thin layer of margerine on one side and half of cheese on the other.

Take one boiled sausage, toskan airnya and lay on one piece of bread with cheese (sausage yang masih panas will start melting the cheese). Cover up with a slice of bread applied with margerine. Put aside.

Repeat process to all 6 sets.

Heat a pan. Panaskan sedikit margerine and grill roti to golden brown. Jangan lupa tekan² roti as to compactkan while the cheese is melting.

Et voilà ! Snack is served.

This evening, I served out the roti first while preparing some coffee. When coffee is ready, I came back to the living room and ...,

"Eyh ?? Dah habis dah ?" Terkejut seeing only 2 sets left. 

Abahanda tersengih², "Ha'ah, habis dah la". 

"Tak cukup ke Bah ?"

"Tak cukup..."

"Heyh. I'll have just one, you finish the other one la".

Abahanda masih sensegan lantas cuba membahagi 2 satu set yang diambilnya." Hmph susah lah !" Lantas Ngapp! Terus disuakan ke mulut. Heh. Abahanda, abahanda...

P/S : Tertonggeng² I snap² photos dekat dapur kecik cinonet dan tak berapa terang tu... Hurmmm. I miss my cosy kitchen in Besançon. Tssk !

Merajuk

The world is never fair. People in the world are never fair. Including me. 

Cuma, saya terkilan dengan sesetengah pihak yang kata pepatah melayu "kuman di seberang laut nampak, gajah depan mata tak nampak". These people keep highlighting others' faults though they have been told of their own flaws...

With that said, I would like to berehat sebentar daripada kekejaman dunia. Berehat from Facebook, berehat from Yahoo! Messenger. Berehat juga buat seketika dari mencoret bingkisan kata dari blog hidup segan mati tak mahu ini. Berehat juga dari e-mail. Oh yes, I will use a temporary password to my mailbox. Some people have access to my mailbox and with changing the password, those people will not know what's going on in my life in the nearest future. Yes, saya ingin memutuskan sebarang hubungan dengan semua kenalan buat sementara. Benar² ingin berehat.

P/S : I wish I were a pebble deep under the sea. Tiny, tidak menarik perhatian sesiapa, tidak mengganggu sesiapa, tidak berperasaan. Whatever.

Monday, 29 November

Nak dijadikan cerita kan, tiba di satu selekoh, the car I was driving made a sound. It wasn't a creepy noise but eventually, when a machine you're handling makes a sound, you will put everything at halt. And so I did. I slowed the car down and made an emergency stop on the road side. Good thing there wasn't any other car following behind. And good thing it was at a selekoh so I wasn't "flying" at 120km/h.

I calmed myself while waiting for the "shrr shrrr" sound to  fade away. Then I noticed the engine went out. "Oookay... This is not gonna be good", I heard my own voice. I tried starting the engine a few times, but to no avail. 

I looked at the clock on the dashboard. 19h16. Calmly, I sent a reply to Mr. Other Half's bushy-mushy SMS and let him know my state at the moment. I closed my eyes, leaned against the seat and smiled. I need to  be calm. Right.The night is falling, in the middle of nowhere, the car decided to broke down. 

I remembered the last penanda kilometer thing showed 117km from Kuala Krai, from home. Hurm... Dad's not at home as he was on his way to Kluang. Right. So who's gonna come and fetch us now ? I looked around me. I was glad I was not in a deserted area. There are a closed shophouse just behind me. There's a still operating warung on the other side of the road. And that big blue signboard said, "Rehat & Rawat Gua Musang, 2km". That's not so bad. I could manage walking 2km to a safer place...

I looked to the left ahead of me. A semi-D shophouses... There were plenty of car in front of the house. Cars with opened boot. Some with no boot at all. You know what I was thinking ?

Oh my God, that looked like a workshop, no ? 

So, bla bla bla, tung tang tung tang, that's it. Timing belt haus rupanya... The car wouldn' be ready to continue its journey back home within the night. I called mommy to fetch me up. 

The foreman's wife offered sebungkus nasi goreng while waiting for mom. The foreman worked on some other car while chatting with a friend. Mom arrived approximately 2 hours later, accompanied by a colleague.


That's my 1st experience with a broken down car. It felt like God did it on purpose (well, God always does everything on purpose) to teach me how to handle such situation. In fact, I was lucky enough.Why so ?


1.The car gave a "sign" for me to pull over instead of coming to a halt out of the blue.
2. It happened just 100km away, not so far, mom can still come for me within a couple of hours.
3. Just so happened, I was right in front of a workshop but not somewhere in a deserted area with no human being alive !


So thank you God.













P/S : Now what's bothering me is that, that one friend of the foreman "stole" my phone number from his mobile and is bothering me. Pffft !

makmum masbuk

Sedang mengemas my bedchamber that's located bahagian paling depan rumah, terdengar ceramah dari surau berdekatan. Suara maskulin itu apparently berkisar perihal makmum masbuk. Dari pendengaran saya, dapat disimpulkan bahawa ;

Situasi 1

Pada tahiyyat akhir mengikut Imam, Imam berpaling ke kanan untuk memberi salam pertama seraya menyebut "Assala" dan makmum masbuk terus berdiri untuk menggantikan raka'at yang lainnya maka solatnya adalah terbatal.

Situasi 2

Pada tahiyyat akhir mengikut Imam, Imam berpaling ke kanan untuk memberi salam pertama seraya menyebut "Assalamualaikum warahmatullah" dan makmum masbuk terus berdiri untuk menggantikan raka'at yang lainnya, hukummnya adalah harus.

Situasi 3

Pada tahiyyat akhir mengikut Imam, Imam berpaling ke kiri untuk memberi salam kedua seraya menyebut "Assalamualaikum warahmatullah" dan makmum masbuk berdiri untuk menggantikan raka'at yang lainnya maka hukumnya adalah sunat. 

 

*                    *                    * 

Rata-rata makmum masbuk yang saya lihat, mengamalkan situasi 1 dan 2. Pelik...

Dalam kasus yang lain pula, pernah saya dengar ceramah dari seorang Ustaz di sekolah, seorang makmum tidak dikira masbuk jika apabila mendengar azan/iqamah masih berlengah² untuk memasuki saf, sebaliknya individu itu perlu bersegera menghadirkan diri ke tempat jemaah. Sebaliknya, dari pengalaman, saya pernah melihat seorang kawan yang masih menghadap skrin komputer apabila rakan lain sudah memulakan solat jemaah. Hanya setelah beberapa ketika barulah rakan ini pergi berwudhu' dan menjadi makmum masbuk pada raka'at ke-3 (if memory serves me right).

Rasa saya, kita tidak memerlukan ilmu yang tinggi  untuk memahami situasi ini. Yang menjadikan seseorang itu makmum masbuk adalah apabila dia tidak sempat menghadirkan diri, dan bukannya tidak menyempatkan diri. 

Wallahua'lam.

Nota kaki

Makmum : individu yang bersolat bersama seorang imam dalam solat jemaah

Makmum masbuk : makmum yang tidak sempat solat mengikut imam apabila imam telah selesai ruku' yang pertama

TV

I'm so glad I only have basic Channels 1,2 & 3 at home. With 3 chanels, it's already hard enough to cope with all those series, shows, movies and whatnots. I can't imagine how to keep track of what to see on which of those zillions of channels on Astro for the whole week. Huhhu.

I don't regret daddy didn't subscribe the Astro. After all, they say you don't regret losing something you never had... =)






P/S : Can't imagine having to choose one channel from 420 ! XD
