So far I have yet to see an easier way to do that besides pulling up a new post as an index. Wish there is a function that allow me to move the post into different folder. Can you hear errrrr read that blogspot team...hehehehhehe..

Preparation part two and Ninie's earlier award
Last Friday, I went to the Indian Passport & Visa Services office to submit my visa application. I went there with two friends, fortunate for me, I am not going to Hyderabad alone. Or else I may change my mind to go there. Sorang2 maaa, perempuan pulak tu. Risau2.

Not many people around, and took us under an hour to settle everybody's application. The office only accept our application and send them to High Com at Canberra. Then we have to wait for 10 working days until our application are approve. 10 working days tu. Today is a public holiday in Australia, the Queen's Birthday. Only tomorrow the office will be opened. Just hope we can get the visa before end of the month, or else .... haru oooo.... dah la passport kat diorang..... adehhh....Please process my application pronto.
owwhhh....tak jadi balik sorang, atang at the last minute (of the AA promotion fare) wants to be with our two little angels while I am at Hyderabad :D. Ada orang bleh carry luggage akhirnya hehehe....
.. and Thank You Ninie for giving out this award for her first 20 readers, and I was one of them. Jom visit Ninie's blog

Tag - Kunci ohh kunci
Here is a picture of my keychain that holds my house and car's key. It is a spare key to our one and only car, and atang holds the other key because he drives to work everyday. I take the bus to the office :D. No central locking in our car, just that one key, to lock all the doors, so that is why I keep the car key together with the house key.

2. Buat ulasan lanjut tentang keychain korang.
It is a metal, silver plated keychain, with a picture of a kaola (marking the symbol of Australia) on a darkblue background.
3. Nyatakan juga jika ada memori atau kenangan indah pada keychain tersebut.
This kaola keychain replaced the old key chain that I have used before. I bought some keychains as a token of appreciation to some people who had help me in my research, and after giving out to the intended person, I have one left. Coincidently my old keychain is broken, so I replace it with the extra.
I next pass this tag to >> Ms Taj, Jas, Kakty, and Mummy Yaeesh. Let's get jiggy with the keychain :D.

2. nyatakan 5 jenis fakta menarik tentang pemberi award ini
Fakta pertama : Nama sebenarnya bukan Mrs Taj :D
Fakta kedua : Beliau seorang wanita yang bekerjaya, sudah berumahtangga dan mempunyai seorang cahaya mata
Fakta ketiga : Suka minum susu Anlenne (betul ke eja tu?).
Fakta keempat : Membeli belah adalah aktiviti kesukaan beliau.
Fakta kelima : Beliau pun suke masak gak, must try her rosemary chicken recipe one day.
3. setiap blogger mesti menyatakan 10 fakta atau hobi diri sendiri sebelum memilih penerima award seterusnya
hmmmmm...... 10 pulak tu...adehhhh.....den cubo la yo
Fakta satu : Sedang melanjutkan pelajaran, demi tugas dan negara (chewahh). Nie fakta tara tipu punya :p
Fakta dua : Kuat minum kupi, tiap2 hari mesti pekena kupi. Kupi fav Aik Cheong, dan skrang ada fav baru, Kupi O Old Town White Coffee. Jadi kena pastikan bekalan dipenuhi setiap kali pulang Mesia (atau minta love ones kat mesia pos ke sini). Kupi-kupi kat sini sume tak sedap, tak bleh terima la tekak den nie.

Fakta tiga : Tak boleh nampak kucing, mesti nak usap kepala, dari kecik smpi skrang. Rasa kurang aje bila tak boleh bela kucing kat rumah (sebab duduk atas bumbung rumah orang LOL). Jadi tiap kali balik rumah mak, mesti nak gomol2 kucing yang sekrang tinggal sekor aje, si moody Lara. Sekarang Thirah suke buli si Lara tu, dah tua dah tu, omak den selalu pesan kat dia, "ko jgn mati dulu, tunggu tuan ko balik".

(Lara yg sedang tido di dalam guni rumput)
Fakta lima: Cepat baran bila lapar dan ngantuk. Kadang2 tu bleh siap gigil sebab lambat makan. Lagi la kalau tengah pregnant.... sabar aje la ye.....
Fakta tujuh: Seawal umur 9 tahun, dah belajar hidup berdikari, ada kunci rumah sendiri (orang kato latch-key kid), kerana omak abah den bekerja. Sekolah sesi petang, bangun pagi, bfast sendiri, siap2 gi sekolah, kunci pintu rumah dan tunggu bas sekolah....kesian ke?...hehe...ala dulu kan takde nak risau pasal pecah masuk rumah laaa..itu ini...jadi dek tak kisah ....complain pun tak pernah. lagi suke ada laaa sebab bleh bangun lambat wakakaka.

Fakta sembilan: Dari kecik sampai dah ada anak nie, tak suke benda-benda girly (dah asyik bergusti yo ngan abang den mano tak). Masa kecik tak suke main anak patung, tapi anak sulung den, yaya, sangat2 tertarik dengan benda-benda girly dan accessories. Den layankan aje.
Fakta sepuluh: pheeewwwwhhhh akhirnyaaaa..... Suka, suka, suka makan, wakakakakaka. Sebab tu den digelar oleh atang, food lover. Den pelik bila orang kata, "tak gheti la makan nie..." sebab den nie jenis yang asalkan halal dan tak mudarat dan bukan luar dari normal, allahumma bariklana....masuk mulut, kunyah2, telan :D. sonang baitu.
4. anda perlu memilih 10 penerima award seterusnya dan describe tentang mereka
Nak describe ke? Tak payah la ekkk (nie kes malas nak buat research nie). Den nak kasi yo award nie bleh tak? Aci la kan.... Jadi den nak kasi kek kengkawan yang selalu datang jenguk sini, Ms Taj, Kakty, Mummy Yaeesh, Neeza, Liza, Jas, Iszan, Adik Nur, Cikgu Jane, Iza, dan kengkawan yang kunjung tapi tak meninggalkan jejak, dan pada sapa-sapa aje laaa.

Krispy Kreme: Is it Halal?
"Pink Shiba_Sakura, IIDA Smiles said...
Menarik...just chatting ngan my ex classmate/schoolmate now kat Saudi Arabia, she mention the Arab Saudi Krispy Creme tak halal...sebab semua ingredients adalah sama, contains lard especially untuk glazing....Waalahualam...coz kat Malaysia pun ader dah Krispy Creme ni....camner ni mintak2 bantuan kawan2..... "
Your question attracted my attention, and I did further research about it. From Krispy Kreme's website, they have information about the Halal status of their donut. They do have Halal certificate for all their donuts. And Halal certification is control by a trusted body in Australia (use google to search more information about this). This link will direct you to the exact information about Halal status of Krispy Kreme in Australia.
----------------
Thank you for your enquiry!Krispy Kreme doughnuts do not contain alcohol products manufactured tobe consumed as a beverage such as liquors, wine and beer. The glaze on Krispy Kreme Original Gazed Doughnuts contain a speciallyproduced flavouring that is made and approved for use according to strict FDA guidelines. This flavouring contains a small amount of ethyl alcohol, a common ingredient that is also naturally present in just about all fresh fruits and vegetables. The flavouring for Krispy Kreme's glaze contains less than 2 percent ethyl alcohol, an essential ingredient for much flavouring commonly used in commercial food production.It is important to note, however, that when the flavour is mixed intothe glazed recipe, it becomes less than 1 percent composition and therefore, the ethyl alcohol content drops to less than 0.02 percent. During the cooking of the glazed, virtually all - if not all- of the ethyl alcohol is lost through evaporation.
The only animal by products used in our doughnuts are eggs (whites and yolks) and dairy products (including milk, butter, yoghurt, whey, nonfat milk and non fat whey). All other ingredients are made from non animal by products.
With regards to our Ice Kreme, we don't knowingly use animal derived emulsifiers and gelatin. We would advise that you consult our nutrition section on our web site at http://www.krispykreme.com.au/ for further information regarding the ingredients used in our Ice Kreme. We do not make our Ice Kreme on site, it is supplied to us by an external source. The same can be said of all our products as we do list all ingredients used in both our doughnuts and Ice Kreme in the nutritional section of our web site.
In addition to this, there is a full listing of all our doughnut ingredients on the bottom of our dozens boxes which any of our team members would be more than happy to show you if you just pop into your local store. At this stage we don't have Kosher certification on either our Ice Kremeor doughnuts and this is something we are currently working on. We do however have Halal certification on our doughnuts.
(I withhold the sender's name)
---------------------------
Waallahulam
As for Krispy Kreme in Malaysia, maybe you can check at Halal Malaysia's website. Ask them about the Halal status of the donut. My experience is, never takes thing for granted. Bila dah duduk sini, I found that we should constantly check and ask about the ingredients used in the product. Some ingredients, for example emulsifier is derived from animal. Boleh google kalau nak tau maklumat lanjut.Hope this enlight the confusion. Happy to help wherever possible. Thanks for reading.

5) Apakah pendapat anda mengenai blog kepada pemilik blog yg tag anda ini?
It covers a variety of topics. Maturity is evident from her writing. Unlike my blog that is. I especially like the entries where she covers cake recipes. How I wish she's near so that I can taste a bit hehehe
-------------
What captured my attention is the word maturity...well (ku terasa macam tua sangat la jas) I hope she is referring to the content ya, but not like orang tua membebel wakakakakkaka...because I do membebel in here from time to time. Anyway was flattered at the same time.
Actually the pleasure is mine. Writing is a passion, and I thank all of you for visiting and reading my rambling ya. Terima kasih banyak-banyak. I gained a lot of new friends from blogging. Hope the friendships do not end here, and hope to see you, my friends in the real-world.
And about the cooking bit....hehehe... like I said, I cook to soothe myself :D. Plus we don't have anything to do/go in the weekend, and the kitchen is equipped with an oven. So with all these reasons I work myself in the kitchen, to put my mind away kejap :D. Don't know if I will be the same back home (no oven kat rumah laa). Tapi kalau dapat share makan-makan memang seronok kan.
Wokeh, I was fasting yesterday, and for iftar I prepared blackpepper beef, a recipe given by my friend Gee. Thanks Gee for the recipe, something new, and delicious, mmg rasa kuah steak laaa, daging pun takde rasa macam kering tau.

So, have a great weekend ya. Am sure need to work on weekend, but am looking forward for the premier of Harper's Island on Sunday. Terngiang-ngiang suara budak perempuan tu, "one by one...." hehehe. But I read the review, it is beyond expectation, hope I have different opinion.

Yes, I have changed my pseudonym
When I first created the pseudonym, I planned to be anonymous. Well, that seemed appropriate since I was rambling in my old blogs. I came up with the name from Beyonce's song, "Me, myself and I" was popular at that time. 'Cici' is my eldest daughter's 'manja' name. When Yaya was a baby, she likes to say this, "chi-to-pa". Didn't know where it came from. But it sounded cute. So we decided to nickname her 'cici'. But we have stop calling her that now, don't know whether she still remembers it.
While 'titi' came from my second daughter's nickname. And I was the one who created this. But it doesn't fit Thirah, so it remain in my blog world instead. hehehehehhe....
However, I have decided to let that remain in my memory now. Well, at least, some of you have known me with that name ya.
p.s. I have just realised that there were a lot of mysterious entries this week ya :D
