Painting

Testing my S Note app :) Siapa pernah lukis gambar rumah atau kampung lebih kurang macam ni masa sekolah2 dulu? Here I am sitting in my garden, full from breakfast, listening to the sound of birds and feeling so peaceful... Teringat my kid's notion of a perfect home or kampung because my real house and kampung didn't look like this. In a more elaborate version, there'd be paddy field at the back of the house just below the mountains. There will also be a boat in the river or sea.

I have painted many paintings like this but my masterpiece was when I was in form 1 or 2. I didn't keep it. My teacher hang it in our Bilik Seni Lukis with all the other masterpieces. What's special about that painting is the use of poster color to give hues of sunset to a basic painting like below. If only there's digital camera back then.

Flight Delayed

Flight delayed from 10:05 to 10:40. Will be reaching KL wayyy... past midnight.  Tetap bersyukur ada tugas yang membawa ke sini. This is part and parcel of travelling and training. Sempat beli souvenir serba-sedikit tadi. Walaupun mungkin kerap travel, tapi bukan selalu ada masa nak shopping.

Earlier, a friend posted on his wall gambar di KLIA. Dah lama tak ke kiri, apatah lagi ke kanan. That refers to 'perlepasan dalam negeri' and 'perlepasan antarabangsa' signage. Insaf sejenak dengan rezeki masing-masing yang dianugerahkan olehNya dan dugaan masing-masing juga. Tidak kira apa keadaan, bersyukur dengan dugaan yang diterima.

Mata dah kelat. Belum lagi dipanggil boarding. Belum nampak bayang flight pun lagi. Harus ada yang lena dalam flight nanti.

Update:
Delay lagi ke 11:30.

Rain, rain, go away...

Rain, rain, go away... come again another day!

Sigh! It is raining again. I have clothes from 2 training still unwashed. Just finished my second training after Aidiladha holiday. Thank God balik kampung clothes already washed... just not folded yet. I'll be travelling again to Kemaman and Miri. Feels gloomy with the dark and cloudy weather. If it's hot, the heat is unbearable. If it rains... no star gazing at night, I can't really smell the earth, and no outdoor activities. I know I can see beautiful rainbow after the rain but I still prefer bright, blue skies.

The rainbow when I was in Miri, before the Aidiladha break.

Happy Birthday Dearest Hubby...

Today is hubby's birthday. I'm working this weekend.... day and night training. Keep thinking of my darling hubby and how i can't celebrate with him. Sigh... I'll make it up to you OK abang. My thoughts for you on your birthday....

Kalau boleh...

Sedang terbaring di bilik penginapan yang tidak berapa jauh dari rumah. Dalam 20-25 minit boleh sampai rumah. Tapi sebab kursus sampai ke malam, berehat jer lah di tempat yang dah disediakan. Bukan hotel, tapi setaraf jer biliknya.

Sambil baring, baca2 blog dalam google reader. Blog masak2... tiba2, terliur bila baca resipi nyer ada cencaluk. Dah lama tak makan sebab alergik. Kegatalan di kulit muka, dalam telinga dan mana2 ntah lagi... tak pasti sebab dah lama tak makan.

Kalau lah tiada masalah alergik, rasanya nak makan cencaluk, hiris cili padi dengan bawang, perah limau... makan dengan nasi panas2. Nyummmm... sedapnya... Hubby orang Melaka tapi tak makan cencaluk. MIL pun tak makan. Dulu2 masa boleh makan, dapat cencaluk jer masa sahur dah cukup.

Rasa masin2 cencaluk, campur masam limau dan pedas cili padi.... fuhhhh... tak dapat dibayangkan. Perfect. Emak mesti campur air nasi sikit dalam cencaluk tu. Masa masak nasi, keluarkan sedikit airnya dan campur dalam cencaluk. Cencaluk mestilah tang masih nampak merah2 dan segar. Yang pasti, amat2 menyelerakan.

Citer banyak pun tak guna... tak dapat makan. Maybe kalau dapat cencaluk yang bagus, kita buat sesi lepas gian, kemudian sesi melayan kegatalan. Kena buat masa takder training, just in case allergic effect yang melampau. Hmmm...
