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

yours truly,

A matrimony story

Remember my friend from Brunei, Halida. I have wrote a couple of stories about our farewell lunch at the end of last year. Click here and here, if you want to read those stories laa.

Halida is now back home, serving for her country. I have been trying to write her an email for a long time after she went home, but I kept on postponing it. I knew she is getting married in June. What a terrible me!! Well, I don't know, I used to send email to friends frequently, exchanging story. But nowadays, I guess because of tremendous tasks to complete, or maybe have nothing interesting to share, afraid that I end up writing just a single line, "apa khabar?", "sihat?", "well, everything is the same", "up and down", wakakakakka... or maybe it is just me.

Anyway, I finally able to write something, in particular, congratulating Halida on her marriage, and click on the send button. Hoping she is not mad or something for not hearing from me. And a few days after that, she replied, with her matrimony story. She is now Puan Halida...ahahahah... and she even sent me some pictures of her happy moment. So sweet of her to share them with me. I asked her permission to post it here. Look how happy she is. And I am soooo happy for her.



To Halida, I know you read my blog occasionally. Thanks for visiting me virtually haha. CONGRATULATIONS dear. My dua is with you. Semoga Allah sentiasa lindungi perkahwinan kalian ya dan dimurahkan rezeki, semoga ramai junior nanti..ahahahahah.... Hope both of you live happily ever after.

p.s. Halida, hantar la gambar lagi...huhu

He is Dead!!

Was having breakfast, with a slight headache and runny nose, in front of the computer, reading emails, replying emails, and then switched to facebook for update. And I saw these headlines on one of my friend's status, "MJ and Farrah Fawcett dead".... Is it fact or fiction?

It is Fact.



Michael Jackson, pop music legend, dead at 50

Farrah Fawcett, sex symbol and actress, dies


p.s. I heard rumours that MJ had converted to Islam recently. Is it true?


yours truly,

I made pizza..hehe

Finally I have the gut to do it, so if I can do it...u too can do it ... There are numerous recipe available on the internet. And also with the help of the "Cooking Italian" cookbook, we enjoyed a scrumptious dinner last weekend (ok I am exaggerating a bit). Ahaks...

Ok...the trick of making a pizza is on the dough. Here is a simple recipe dough that I used:


Ingredients for pizza base:
7gm (1/4 oz) sachet dried yeast
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of honey
1 tablespoon of olive oil
2 1/2 cups (250gm or 8 oz) of bread flour (for much better result, but you can use plain flour instead)
1 cup (250ml) of warm water

Method:
1. Dissolve salt, and honey in the warm water, then add in the dried yeast. Mix well.
2. Leave it yeast mixture aside for about 10 minutes (or until foamy) cover with a cling wrap.
3. Sift flour into a bowl. Gradually add in the olive oil, mix well.
4. Make a well in the centre of the flour, then pour in the yeast mixture.
5. Mix to a dough. Knead to form a clean ball.
6. Coat the dough with some olive oil. And let the dough rise for at least an hour.
7. After an hour, punch the dough to let the air out. And leave to rest for about 10 minutes.
8. Heat the oven at 200C.
9. Roll the dough, or use your fingertips to stretch the dough from the centre outwards to cover the pan.
10. Fold the edges to form a lip.


11. Sprinkle some olive oil on top to prevent it getting soggy from the topping. Punch some holes in the dough with a fork to let the air escape the pizza while cooking.
12. Spread the pizza sauce, cheese, onions, mushroom and your favourite topping.





13. Dont forget mozarella cheese to finish the process.
14. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes.

Sorry if my instructions are unclear, I recommend you to visit Homemade Pizza and Recipe Pizza,

I made seafood and frankfurter pizza (will buy pepperoni next time) :D
