Among my favorite months..

Mid April to Mid June every year is among the time I am waiting for. It is the time for NBA Playoffs. I know some people might not understand what is so great about basketball compared to soccer.
Great things about basketball are the fast movement from one end to the other, the techniques in the offensive and defensive moves, and the tactics used in the play. Most of all, if your team down 5 points with 30 seconds left, you can still win the game. Fantastics isn't it?
I have few teams I'm rooting for. How can that be possible? Well, if I root for just one team and they get eliminated early in the playoff, then I don't have any team to root for :D. I know it sounds funny. Because what if any two of my favorite teams match each other up? I'll usually go for the underdogs.
Anyhow, I'm quite upset today because one of my favorite teams-the Phoenix Suns (actually the Phoenix Suns is the top in my list)got eliminated in the playoffs first round series. And worst, they got beaten by the San Antonio Spurs which I hate so much.
I feel very upset now. Feel like crying. Huhuhuu...

Among my favorite players:
Steve Nash (short but very talented)


Chauncey Billups(not so black 'black guy' who's know how to lead his team)


Kevin Garnett (he's so black like arang but no one can stop his aggressiveness in the court)

Is it really ME?!

I was reading my x-housemate, kak ema's blog when I came across a personality test. So I give it a shot. And here's my personality according to the test. Well.. I never thought I am .. ( read the very last sentence)



You Are An ISTJ



The Duty Fulfiller



You are responsible, reliable, and hardworking - you get the job done.

You prefer productive hobbies, like woodworking or knittings.

Quiet and serious, you are well prepared for whatever life hands you.

Conservative and down-to-earth, you hardly ever do anything crazy.



In love, you are loyal and honest. If you commit yourself to someone, then you're fully committed.

For you, love is something that happens naturally. And you don't need romantic gestures to feel loved.



At work, you remember details well and are happy to take on any responsibility.

You would make a great business executive, accountant, or lawyer.



How you see yourself: Decisive, stable, and dependable



When other people don't get you, they see you as: Boring, conservative, and egotistical

Veggie-Fruit Juice anyone?

I believe most of you have at least once drink any kind of fruit juice. Be it watermelon, mango, apple, or lime. But have any of you taste veggie-fruit juice?

You may wonder what kind of veggies and fruits that you can mix together to make a tasty veggie-fruit juice.

Actually, the following is not my original recipes. I was having my lunch at KYROS KEBAB few weeks ago with my friend Azlin when she recommended the 'CELERY BOOSTER'. I am usually up to try all sort of foods or drinks as long as it doesn't contain any of the things I dislike, for example durian, cempedak, petai, and their families.

Anyway, the CELERY BOOSTER is very tasty indeed. KYROS KEBAB's celery booster contains a mix of celery, green apple and cucumber. But it costs me RM4.00 per cup. I want to stay healthy by drinking veggie-fruit juice, but I don't to go broke doing that. So I decided to make my own veggie-fruit juice.

Here's my recipes. (It will basically makes about 300-400ml of juice)

A) CELERY BOOSTER

5-6 inches of celery
3 inches of cucumber
1/4 green apple
1/4 tomato
6-10 spinach leaves
1 tbsp original honey( i try not to use any sugar)
small slice of ginger
1-2 tbsp lime/ lemon juice -depends on how sour you like your juice
3/4 cup of plain water

How to:
*clean all vegetables and fruits.
*blend all together with high speed until everything is mixed together.

B)TOMATO BOOSTER
3 inches of carrot
3 inches of cucumber
1/4 red apple
1/4 tomato
6-10 spinach leaves
1 tbsp original honey( i try not to use any sugar)
small slice of ginger
1-2 tbsp lime/ lemon juice -depends on how sour you like your juice
3/4 cup of plain water

Note:
1-The add on spinach leaves may seems quite odd to some of you. I admit, it come as a surprise to me as well when I watched Dr.Oz giving out his veggie juice recipe in one of Oprah shows. But when I give it a try, the juice taste great. You can't really taste the spinach in the juice.

2-Sometime, I simply add whatever fruits and veggier I have in my refrigerator. So, it is actually up to your creativity. However, as a precaution do not mix watermelon with honey; I am not 100% sure of this but my husband told me that watermelon and honey should never be eaten or drink together.

ENJOY YOUR 1st HOMEMADE VEGGIE JUICE! ;)

Gemuk? Kurus? Ok la?

Eiii.. geram la. Kenapa la susah sangat nak kawal berat badan ni?
Since aku dah tak pegi buat kemoterapi mula dari Januari hari tu, berat badan aku ni dah bertambah-tambah dgn jayanya.

Mungkinlah tak banyak mana. Dalam 3 kilo. Tapi walaupun 3 kilo, aku rasa macam nak pengsan je bila tengok penimbang tu menunjukkan angka 54kg. Tensen betullah.

Aku ni rasanya dah tak larat dah nak diet. Tambah pulak sekarang ni dah kawin, ada geng nak mencari makanan yang enak-enak gitu, makanya macam manalah nak diet.

Aku plan nak cuba makan oat la. Rasanya bole turun berat badan ni. Cumanya aku ni tak berapa suka nak makan Quaker Oat tu. Masa kecik-kecik dulu suka la. Dah besar ni, aku lebih suka Nestum. Nestum lagik best.

Aku plan jugak nak start swimming semula. Tapi nak jalan kaki pegi ke Sports Center tu, alahai.. macam malas la pulak. Aku rasa aku kena start semula jalan kaki keliling kampus ni la. Hari tuh dah start, lepas tu musim hujan plak. Takkan la aku nak berjalan dalam hujan kan. Tak anggun la.

Kenapalah aku ni masih dihantui dgn masalah berat badan ni. Aku memang tensen. Tapi tensen yg masih membolehkan aku makan-makan dengan enaknya tanpa mengira jam dah pukul 9 malam. Terukkan? Takde kesedaran betul aku ni.

Memanglah suamiku yang tersayang tu tak pernah komplen pun. Tapi takkanlah nak tunggu dia komplen baru aku nak berusaha sampai jaya kan?

Harap-harapnya aku dapat la turunkan semula berat badan aku ni. Serius ni!!!

Look at MY CELLULITE ;)

My husband and I went to Pasar Minggu near to our place this morning. As we were crossing the road to get to the Pasar Minggu, I was quite shocked (err.. astonished more like it) when I saw two girls scantily dressed walking in front of us. The least I can say is they tried to look sexy but they failed miserably and end up looking like a w****.
2 feet view
err.. there's some fake diamond thing in her short pants. I guess she is just another Mariah Carrey wannabe..

I know it's bad to call people names. But looking at those two girls making rounds at the Pasar Minggu, what's left to think other than they were trying to advertise themselves? Oh!Another possibility. She's experimenting on a certain cellulite cream??? Gosh! I for one would never buy it.

I have considered the possibility that they might have forgotten to buy something during their first round but if someone clad in something like that, would you think of anything else?

In some way, even they do not need it, I do symphatize them.
What were they thinking when the put on those shirt & pants? Only God knows...

Mimpi Yang Tak Sudah

Siapakah di antara kita
Dengan rela menjadi pendusta
Siapakah dulu membina harapan
Dan siapa yang memusnahkan impian
Tanpa sebab dan alasan
Kau mainkan perasaan
Bagai taufan
Tiba-tiba datang
Dan menghilang

Apa maknanya kau datang...kalau sekadar untuk bertandang
Apa maknanya kau hadir... kalau kemudiannya aku terpinggir
Apa maknanya kau buaikan perasaan ini.. kalau kemudiannya aku terhempas sendirian

Mungkin bagi kau cinta itu sekadar manisan di mulut. Namun bagiku biarlah hati ini dijaga rapi selagi aku belum menemui 'dia'. Mungkinkah kau akan menjadi 'dia' yang menghuni hatiku? Atau kau sekadar taufan yang bertamu lantas meruntuhkan segenap benteng kepercayaanku?

Mungkin....

Nothing personal about this post. Whenever I listen to a song that captures my interest, I'll always try to imagine how such song is created. So those italic print are not really me, but 'me' taking position in the singer's shoes ;)

So Many...

I haven't been blogging for more than 2 weeks. I 've got so many issues to rattle on but so limited time to really pour my thoughts on the keyboard :(

I'm just making notes here about the issues that I'm really keen to write:
1- tuition - disadvantages/ advantages
2- suami curang- Don't worry! Not mine - Alhamdulillah.
3- parenting - as if

Anyway, I have a souvenir for you my dear reader. Enjoy the pix :))



If you watch Akademi Fantasia 5, you'll know Heliza. Personally, I don't agree to any 'wanita muslimah bertudung' to join the entertainment industry. I guess she should get the hint about Malaysia entertainment industry when she was asked to wear the horrendous 'clown do' during ABP07 last week (unless it's her personal wardrobe). The top picture is her picture on the red carpet :P
