How naive can you be?
Like all weekends, early morning while preparing breakfast, I will download my fav TV series from TV3. I just finished ironing this week loads, while watching Aliff Firdaus.....aduuhhhh.... sedihnya nyeee episod kali nie. Was emotionally carried away with that "missing" scenes of aliff's parents... and how naive can aliff be....skipping classes after just enrolled!!.... shame on you aliff...
OK...nak solat....then off to the kitchen to prepare some apam balik... we are visiting friends this evening...

bila tekak nak apam balik
Salam friends, kengkawan and all...
Last week I finally get the focus I need. Tak lama, dua hari jek, but cukup la tu. Managed to complete a couple of tasks and met the milestones. And suddenly my sifoos started demanding, although I think it is conceivable, tapi den nie cepat gabra, bukan sikit, banyak...ahahahha...nampak aje den nie cool outside, tapi dalam, rasa seumpama kartun flintstones yang tengah berlari membawa kereta yang bertayar kan batu tu. Kat sini ada tayangan kartun flintstones setiap jam 6 petang kat Go Channel (lari tajuk dah nie)...
Anyway, minggu lepas jugak rasa malas nak duduk depan komputer, tapi apo nak buek, dah kojo dengan komputer, so malas la nak online segala macam fasiliti rangkaian sosial ni. Kengkawan pernah rasa cemuih/jemu/jelak tak bila mengadap internet? Haaa sampai gitu sekali. Tapi sempat gak la dload Nigina dan O-Mei pada penghujung hari, ahahahhaha....
Dan oleh kerana mood detox (detox dari online yo, tapi still working with the machine) minggu lepas, jadik malas la nak carik resepi-resepi baru untuk projek hujung minggu, sampai la petang Khamis, tetiba tekak nak makan apam balik. Nie sebab tengok "My Kitchen Rule" la nie, tengok chocolate mousse cake contestants yang sedap tu. Nak buat mousse cake, issshhh tak terbuatnye, nak buat chocolate cake, kena pikir 100 kali, kena find out dulu sape yang boleh menghabiskan kek itu (kang tak pasal-pasal den yang kena abiskan). Jadi oleh kerana tak nak menganiaya sesape (atang now is blaming me on his sudden weight increment), tekak nie terus switch kepada apam balik (boleh gitu). But then I need to get the approval of atang (sebab dia yang akan makan nanti) wakakakkakaka.... and he agreed by searching the recipe for me (dah den masih lagi cemuih nak masuk internet).
Jadi petang jumaat tu, oleh kerana dah tak tahan sangat... orang kalau dah food lover, craving dia memang tak bleh sekat-sekat lagi. Den pun try la buat. Kacang tumbuk, beli yang dah siap. Dan....
Fuhh....lembut dan gebu apam balik nih. Credit pada yang berkongsi resepi. Untuk resepi, sila klik di sini ya :D.
Oh ya....hampir-hampir terlupa. Ada sorang reader, namanye Lya, tinggalkan comment at one of my pizza's entry. I thought at first I wanted to respond directly under that story, but I think it would be difficult for her to search back the post since I have removed the "direct-link" box to comments posted in this blog. Thus, I replied her comment here:
Thank you Lya for visiting, it is my pleasure to help newcomers, muslim students especially, about halal food in Brisbane. And glad you found this blog interesting.
About halal pepperoni, I usually bought it at Ismail Butcher at McWhirters in the Valley, or popularly known as China Town. Tapi tengok jugak, sometimes takde. Other option is the butcher at Logan Rd. But it is a bit expensive there. Maybe some of my Brisbane friends have other suggestion. Hope this helps.
Apa pulak citer my two little princesses. Yaya is now happy in school. She met her old friends from prep classes, so happy to go to school everyday. Tapi makcik nie mmg jenis forgetful laaa...ada aje barang tertinggal kat sekolah... aduhai... Yang si kecik cilik nie pulak, kuat menyonteng, pantang kite leka sikit, kalau ada pensel kat tangan dia, ada la ruang, n ceruk dia akan conteng nanti.... And adik still can't leave her pacifier. Her old ones dah koyak, so we have to buy a new one on weekend (takut kang dia tertelan pulak bila sedap ngisap tu). Kenapa we all tak stop aje kan?? We just hope she will get tired of it, like yaya. Yaya dulu tak lame, masuk 1 tahun lebih sikit, dia dah tak nak. Maybe puting adik nie sedap sangat kot....

The pain inside...will it subside?
Salam kengkawan, friends, and to those who are following this blog. My gratitude to all of you who keep on visiting this humble place of mine, although I have not written any new, fun, and informative story lately. This place look so melancholic, just like me.
Just received news about abah's condition. He was finally wheeled into the OT yesterday, before noon, after being postponed twice. The operation lasted almost 8 hours, but the surgeons had to do something beyond what they have planned before. Abah was finally wheeled out from the OT after 7 pm, and was placed in the recovery room.
This morning, I was told by my sistah, that the surgeons did not remove the stomach (that was affected), but instead they made 3 bypasses, so abah's stomach is not functioning anymore. The reason why they did that was unclear. Hope by today, the medical team will explain what was actually happened, and what will happen next.
Feel uneasy here, hopefully nothing serious happen (although this is serious enough). Actually I don't know what to hope for. But I just want abah to not feel any pain (is that possible) or any complication after this.
Anxiously waiting.....

Pray for the best
Salam to all,
My apology for living this "room" for long. Being occupied is one good reason that I can give (I know I have over used this reason, but don't everybody??), but what have been holding up my ramblings most is about an unfortunate thing happened in the family.
I am not good at expressing bad/sad feelings to people, especially to those who I have not meet in real-life. I am known among friends as "a happy go lucky" person. Not that I am not sensitive, I do cry, have cry almost everyday since I start this PhD journey. But I did all the crying inside, on the outside I am what people have known me. So I maybe look tough on the outside, but I am fragile inside. I am frail....
Dear friends, please pray for my dearest Abah. He is undergoing an operation to remove part of his stomach tomorrow. There is a malignant/tumor in his duodenum. Hope everything goes well.

Meeting old friends
Days passing by quickly, I have about 2 weeks more left to complete what I have already planned to do. I think I have done 40% of the list (I hope), sempat kot 2 weeks to reach 100% (tetiba rasa bulu roma naik kat tengkuk nie...wakakakakka).
Works but no play makes you a very boring person kan..ahahahhaha so lame. On weekdays, we can't do anything much, for yaya is at school. Thus, our weekends, so far, were hectic, mostly attending open houses, visiting relatives and some old friends. Talking about friends, thanks to these social network platforms that help us in reuniting long lost friends, from everywhere around the globe. So this raya, we took the opportunity to see some of our long lost friends.
Liza, old friends from Jasin. We lived in the same neighbourhood, so technically we are neighbours. The last time we met was before leaving school, lama betul. We got the chance to savour her famous mee rebus, fuhhh....sodap. I was practically full, rugi tak dapat makan banyak ahahahha.... Should have fast at least half of the day :D. Thanks Liza, buat susah-susah aje masak, (tapi kena bagitau awal2 nak datang, because pantang Liza kalau muncul aje kat depan rumah kan ...hehehhehe...)
Between visiting relatives houses, able to squeeze a little time to see Achu, my sparring partner. Itu pun janji pukul berapa, akhirnya dapat jumpe pukul berapa. Berapa kali call bagitau change of time. Alhamdullilah, dapat gak jumpa ye Achu.
Then last week, since I have to cancelled my trips to Malacca and JayBee, and coincidentally Gee who is working in Kelantan, attended conference in Putrajaya and Iza from JayBee had exhibition in Subang, and with few other friends who is living as far as Klang, came down to Putrajaya, and we met at Alamanda. There are my university friends. Some good friends are organising a reunion, this 24th, so we talked mostly about the big event. We left our uni, 10 years ago. It is about time to organise reunion. Owwhh...Iza used to frequent my blog, she was a blogger, now blog dia pun dah bersawang nampaknye. I guess bila balik tanah air nie, kekeringan idea (macam den gak). From bottom left, Baya, nie kawan gaduh, nangis, ketawa :D, glad that we still keep in touch, blog Ilham Mira tu dia la empunyanya and that sweet little girl is the only daughter of Baya; next to Baya's only princess Yu, my first year roommate, her recent achievement is gave birth to triplet, she has 6 boys in total, den mmg kagum kawan2 sebaya yang anak lebih 3 nie, hebat-hebat; that guy far back in the picture is YB Marshar, we called YB sebab kuat politik tu, dari zaman uni, sampai sekarang, mane tau masin mulut kitaorang nie kan; going down, lady in black skarf, Gee, my advisor during saat-saat genting buat PhD nie. Kalau tengah down, mesti carik dia, because she is always on line, well kalau tak down pun slalau gak kacau dia..ahahahhahah; the man yang diapit oleh dua orang ladies, Aca, we were not very close, bila ada aktiviti kat uni je baru borak-borak :D and last but not least, Iza, our entrepreneur lady, sebab macam-macam business dia venture, remember one time, I advertised her sugar paste tu. Hope to see them again this 24th.
Yu (refer above) is working at MAMPU. I am lucky I have a friend who is working there, ada research material nak carik kat library MAMPU tu. So a day after Alamanda meeting, we met again, nak pinjam buku kat MAMPU. Sape sangka Yu nie pun layan rock macam den, sebab dulu Yu bertudung labuh... I caught her one day, playing my alternative cassettes on my radio ahahahahhahahah
And last night, we lepak at one of the mapley in Seremban, met up with some old Georgians friends. Ini ladies only picture, ada men aka husband group gak, tapi den tak snap, diorang tgh sibuk borak2, malas kacau. Next to me, Fitah, infront Fitah, Jas, aka jyss @ jipang, she is now back in Malaysia for good, but tabik dia sebab ada idea lagi update blog tu..ahahahhaha; and last but not least, Amai, her mom is also my mom's friend so a common story that we shared (amai n me) is she was born 2 days before me, hospital sama, so mak cakap, hari mak masuk hospital, aunty A kuar hospital...hahhaha...
Tu yang sempat jumpe. Ada lagi kawan-kawan lama yang nak jumpe nie. Very hopeful I will able to see them. Itu aje la cerita seminggu sekali den nie. Enjoy the rest of the week friends.

Puasa di perantauan II
Minggu ke 2 Ramadhan, day is getting longer. Pukul 4.40 dah masuk subuh, berbuka antara pukul 5.35 - 5.38pm. Cuaca pulak, haritu on the first week of Ramadhan, it was hot. But last week the temperature dropped to 11 deg at night. Maknanya winter belum abis lagi. But I did my spring cleaning last weekend, punya la confident yang spring is here. Jemur quilt, wash all the woolen clothes, store the winter jackets, sekali sojuk balik daaa...
Anyway, nothing has changed in the kitchen. Masak and masak, for iftar n sahur. Jamu mato la yo...
Western for iftar, grilled wings, resepi "chicken like deli wings" tu, homemade mushroom soup, a little bit oily coz I put some cheese in it, n garlic bread.
Daging berlado... ala-ala dendeng. This one I got the idea from that "Makanan Indonesia" restaurant. Yang nie mmg tak bleh berhenti makan, tu yg goreng kentang banyak2 tu...huhu
Sup ekor... ekor kat sini murah tau. Fav atang. Atang kalau buka puasa, mesti nak ada sup daging kadang-kadang, kalau dulu selalu beli kat PaRam aje, sup yg dlm periuk kawah tu. Kek sini, takdo kawah yo, periuk kecik den tu yo guno, rebus la dalam 3 jam. elok lombut nanti.
aaaa yang nie biaso la kan... dah nak abih baru teringat nak amik gambar. Lado ijau pun dah selamat masuk perut dah :D.
Paling simple, ikan berlado aka sambal ngan sup sawi (choy sum).
Cucur udang makcik aDebbie ngan kuih kasturi (betul ke nama nie ek?) ala kuih yang dalam tu kacang ijau tu.
Last Friday, we invited some close friends for iftar, I prepared mee kari and some puffs. Tak sempat ambil gambar la. Dah lama tak makan ramai2, so over excited. Lepas tu pack2 utk tetamu bawak balik. Licin :D.
Dan....
Ada lebih mee kunin tu, esoknya den buat la mee goreng mamak style... boleh la ekk..
And on Sunday, we were invited for iftar at my colleague's house. So we had Bangladeshi meals for iftar. We had delicious and splendid meal. Penuh perut..macam2 kawan tu hidangkan. And we were curious about the food, so sume kena rasa laa (especially me, new food amazed me :p). For iftar, we had chick peas, with some fried tempura like vege (the batter was actually chick pea flour), and some fruits. I thought at first that was just the meal, so I had a good helping of the fried vege, because it was soo delicious. Lepas nie kena la carik tepung tu, so that we can have all sort of vege tempura after this...ahahahahah. For drink, the host prepared yogurt drink. Lepas tu the host cakap, you want ur dinner now or after 'namas' (solat). What?! I though this is everything...wakakakaka rupenya ada banyak lagi. Pulak tu kawan nie dok la senduk kan dalam pinggan we all nie. Memang layanan superb punya.
(chick pea that we had for iftar, and on the right is jack-fruit seed puff, haah, biji nangka tu, rasa macam kentang la...so lebih kurang karipap gak :D. Fried vege tidak kelihatan sebab dah selamat dalam perut kami nie ha)
And for dinner, the host and hostess prepared....
Salad and mix vege.
Fish, beef and chicken korma. Haa...tu untuk makan 4 orang aje tu. Giler sangap perut...wakakakakakaka
And not forgetting, the rice. This is special rice. In Bangladesh they will use this type of rice for special occasion. Nie kawan tu masak, macam nasik minyak sikit la, letak butter n olive oil, tumis ngan cengkih dan buah pelaga.
To the host and hostess, thank you so much for inviting us, this is our first time tasting Bangladeshi food, and it was one authentic taste. Sorry, both of us have small stomachs, wish we could dig in more, but due to the capacity, we have to surrender. Due to privacy concern, am not able to post any pictures taken with them.
15 days of Ramadhan... 15 days to Syawal :(

Serawa durian..yup in Brisbane
But no.... it is not me who prepared it (rasa nak pencen dari jadi tukang masak, sape cakap tukang masak kereja nya enteng)....ahahhahahha... The serawa durian was given by our good neighbour, to be eaten with glutinous rice (jiran oghang utagha Malaysia you :D).
So in return, as usual, I baked banana cake for atang's snack, and sent a plate of banana cake to our good neighbour with some prawn sambal with petai.

Finale: A bag full of junk food..yeah
Hahaha... one bag full of junk foods, fats and sugar.... Let's make them fat like us nyeh nyeh nyeh....
Yup, we finally packed our bags. We bought loads of Doritos and Smiths for our relatives. Need to get that "Fragile" sticker for the bag. Otherwise they will eat crumbs instead of chips :D.
My PDA is full with travel agenda while I am in Malaysia. Have to visit my bro and my new nephew, my uncle (recently diagnosed with cancer), my sistah (of cos a must) and not forgetting my in-laws. Ooohhh my MIL was diagnosed with cervical cancer pulak. Earlier this year she was cleared of any tumour at her small intestines (that she suffered last year). Cancereous has become normal occurence nowadays ye....gerun...
I also need to meet some people regarding my research. And also meeting some friends who have been for long pestering us to meet (wakakakka...sorry la kawan, just to emphasis je) ok ok...we too can't wait to see them. Jom ngeteh, korang belanja ekk..wakakaka
Tomorrow, I will be attending a workshop for the whole day. 1 more day to go yippie.

Friends, I need a favor from you
Dear friends,
How bad is swine flu in Malaysia? I am referring to the government's information or steps taken to curb this disease in Malaysia, generally about visitors arriving from overseas. Can you please provide me with all the information that I need to be aware of. My mom is getting worry, afraid that we will be kept somewhere upon arrival, and with me going off to India in just a couple of days after arriving Malaysia, my mom is getting so restless laaaa...aiyooo
FYI, kat sini relax aje wehh... everything is under control, though the government is taking whatever precaution to prevent spreading or reducing the case, but the public are well inform, but most important thing is, they do not panic. We go about with our daily routine, sneezing, coughing and runny nose is common during winter. So difficult to isolate normal cold and flu with swine flu. I guess being well informed what makes people here to not panic easily.
So friends, please keep me up to date about the situation in Malaysia. Just throw me anything you have. Appreciate your help.
p.s. Must buy face mask then

Tag - Kunci ohh kunci
Menyelesaikan utang tag. I was tag by Neeza. Here is the task:
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.
1. Ambil gambar keychain yang ada pada kunci kereta/motor/van/lori atau apa-apa sahaja kenderaan. (kunci rumah/office tak aci ok)

(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 enam: Orang kata, takut nak tegur sebab nampak garang, wakakakaka. Tapi bila dah kenal, orang kata kite nie gila-gila. Pulak dahhh. Student pun cakap macam tu. Boleh nampak muke masing-masing takut aje bila first time buat perjumpaan penasihat akademik. Yang tak boleh tahan tu, bila student tahun akhir dapat tahu den jadi pemeriksa projek tahun akhir mereka, ada yang dah agak diorang tak bleh scorenye laaa (A la tu), nak dapat B pun diorang tak yakin bila den jadi pemeriksa (kejam sangat ke den nie). Macam-macam tips la diorang minta dekat student di dalam kumpulan penasihat akademik den (yg diorang nie pulak dah macam adik beradik den pulak, pandai2 aje takut2 kan kawan-kawan dia tu). Adehhh...kelakar2. Tapi bila dah dapat grade dari den, ramai yang kata, "ingat takde chance dah ngan puan nie". Abis tu, kalau projek bagus takkan den nak bagi B kot. Agak-agak la kan. ahahahhahah... Tapi, tiap-tiap tahun, sama je tanggapan student2 nie kat den...tak tau la balik esok macammana pulak (rindu pulak nak ngajar)
(nie student yng sangat rapat dengan den sebab den pantau dari tahun satu hingga akhir. hari terakhir den bertugas diorang buat kejutan :D)
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 lapan: Pernah masuk akhbar Berita Harian ruangan tekno huhu. Cerita pasal projek student, aplikasi yang boleh dipasarkan pada SMI, tapi den tak sempat la nak pergi sampai marketing tu sebab sibuk nak ke sini :D
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. You, you and you have an amazing blog. Ambil la yo, kalu buat tag tu, nanti giliran den pulak yang baco.

I bow and say "Thank You"
Remember that "misteri blog ini" entry? I did requested some of you to do the tag (for those who have not done it ye...and for those yang belum tu...ehem ehem huhu). Anyway it has been awhile since I last visited my friend's Jas blog. So when I was reading her blog today, I came across the homework I left her, and answering question no. 5, she wrote....
----------------
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
Dont' be suprised if "Me, myself, cici and titi" is no longer appear in the comment box and at the end of each entry. Since I have published the "Misteri blog ini", I have decided to change my pseudonym, and just use my name instead. Reason, simple, the pseudonym is getting longer and impractical. Thanks to those friends, who have painstaking type it in full just to reply to my comment ya. hehehhehe...
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

Craving for Sushi
(forewarn, this entry is long. make sure you are not in distress before reading this entry :p)
Ever since my first taste of sushi (read my first attempt on eating sushi here, thank you very much to my friend Sabrina for introducing me to Hanaichi), I am getting fond of it, especially Hanaichi's (as if I have tried other different sushi restaurant!!). I even introduced sushi to atang, and also to kak Su (a research colleague). But to go there often is a no no, because, 1 plate of sushi will cost you between $3.30 to $7.00. Only occassionally OK laa.
On the 11th of April, we wanted to have sushi for lunch. Unfortunately the restaurant was closed because of the Easter holiday. A notice on the front door read that the restaurant will be closed for several days. So, takde rezeki la we all that day, and we were a bit dissappointed (especially atang huhu). We went to Azra Kebab for pizza instead (tu namenya rezeki pizza :D).

Anyway, last Saturday we went again to Hanaichi (dah name pun craving kan...hehe). We were supposed to meet mael and family at the restaurant, but they couldn't come early. We, on the other hand couldn't wait for them, for the parking fee is expensive in the city ($9 per hour). Usually we would circle around the block to find a space, but this time I told atang, since I need to buy some groceries at Coles (a supermarket) in the Myer Centre (a shopping mall in the city), why not we just park at the paid parking area. And because we were chasing the time (planned to not exceed 3 hours, that will cost us $16), we told mael that we will start first. Owhh mael and family was our latest mangsa in this sushi introductory (should ask for commission from Hanaichi huh!! or at least discount LOL).
And so, let fulfillin the need of having sushi (is there a plural for sushi?? err Jas if you read this, please confirm ya, am sure you are an expert in this. terima kasih). These were what we were having last Saturday (siap google tu nak carik nama dalam jepun). ahahahahha I forgot to take a photo of 1 plate (can't fight the hunger....so desperate!!).

Aha... a little information about sushi. Do you know that sushi comes in many types? When I first saw this sushi, I was peculiar about the way it looks. My understanding of sushi was so limited, I thought sushi only looks like 'lemang' that is wrap with nori. So after my first attempt, I browse the internet to find any information about the type of sushi (ye, kalau bab makan laju jek buat research :p). Using my favorite and reliable online dictionary, answers.com, there are 7 types of sushi; nigirizushi, makizushi, oshizushi, inarizushi, chirashizushi, narezushi and the contemporary sushi called western sushi. So sushi that is wrap with nori (yang macam lemang tu) is called makizushi. Hanaichi mostly serve nigirizushi (or nigiri for short). And I loved nigiri (especially unagi nigiri). If you like to know more about sushi, click here.
We were like that minah salih, waiting for the right sushi to come infront of us. Eyes following the sushi on the conveyor belt (or sushi train, kaiten zushi in japanese). Note in the picture above, a menu. The price of a sushi are indicated by the color of the plate.
I was always seated infront of this sushi chef. And he is always helpful in answering our questions about the ingredients of the sushi.
We, " err, excuse me. what is this?" Chef, "crab stick"
Few minutes later, "helo, what about this?" Chef, " that's tempura, vegetable"
Later, while raising a plate of sushi, ".....this?" Chef, "unagi... grill eel"
ahahhahahahahha the point I want to raise here is, don't feel shy to ask. Kang termakan benda tak halal kang, sape nak jawab (btw kat sini takde jual daging tu, faham kan, cume ayam dan daging kat sini tak sembelih, dan sebab tu jugak la entry nie tak letak tag Halal food outlet, sbb takde certificate halal).
And for conclusion....

Arnab bercokelat
Ada satu perayaan nie, which you can google it later ya (apsal pulak cakap melayu nie ya..wakakaka), masa nie banyak la cokelat berbentuk arnab jual merata-rata. Selain tu ada gak bentuk telur. Ala...bila sebut telur, mesti ramai boleh agak kan. Jadi masa perayaan nie, diorang sorok la telur-telur cokelat ni untuk dicari oleh kanak-kanak. Kalau kat sekolah, selalunya seminggu sebelum perayaan (dulu la masa yaya sekolah kat sini, skrang tak tau ada lagi ke idak), anak-anak di sekolah akan buat la bakul, daripada cardboard ke, kertas warna warni ke, bergantung kepada kreativiti anak itu. Kemudian cikgu akan bagi la sorang beberapa bijik cokelat berbentuk telur nie untuk diletak ke dalam bakul tu.
Jadi kepercayaan diorang la kan...kira the story behind this thing (eh cakap omputih pulak, tapi citer nie pasal arnab ngan cekelat ye...bukan pasal agama), arnab akan datang bawak telur2 itu, dan sorokkan, nanti kanak-kanak akan datang carik. Yaya pun dulu sempat la menyertai aktiviti nie. Nak buat camne kan, dah sekolah kat sini, ikut aje laaa... tapi balik kami explain la kat dia kenapa kita tak boleh buat itu. So mak apak pun kene kreatif jugak la bila nak bagi jawapan, tapi jgn tipu, kena terus terang, bagitau sebab utamanya. Cuma nak bagi dia faham tu, mmg agak2 mencabar minda mak apaknye.
Jadi aritu ada tinggal komen kat blog ms Taj pasal cekelat bentuk arnab.... jadi khas utk tatapan ms Taj, dan kengkawan yang lain... gini la ngupenya....
dah selamat dah dalam perut....makan part kepala dulu...macam cannibal la pulak...wakakakkaka
