~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY DANISH~~

Wahh.. dah beberapa hari nie, didnt get the chance to update my blog lah. Cos I was bz planning n making arrangement for a surprise birthday for my son, Danish. Plan punya plan.. i ended up this idea of making a surprise for him in his school. "Who said housewife duduk diam2 kat umah..?? Otak tetak berfungsi dgn vigorously tau.) Anyway, made orders for LeaOven for 50 rainbow cupcakes (40 to be sent to his class and 10 for us) and a 1kg Red Velvet cake. All with edible images of him. So this morning, I was already out to collect the orders at Kota Warisan. With an online map as my guide, I found the place without any difficulties. Looking at the cupcakes n cakes, I am completely satisfied. Right after collecting, straight to Cyberjaya Primary School, we walked up to his class. Asked the permission frm the teacher on duty to just give us 5 mins to pass the cupcakes. Jgn kata my son yang surprised, his teachers pon ikot surprised jugak. Cos, nie kira bidan terjun. We didnt even give some notice to the school for this. Hahaha. Keje gila kan namanyer. Since we dont want all this interruption to prolong, we made our way out once the boxes have been passed to the teacher. Back home, I dah start to goreng mee lah sikit so that I can give some of it n some of the cakes to a friend of my son who is of a different class although in the same school. By 1pm, everything dah selesai. By that time, hub pon dah pegi work lah. What to do.. work is still work. So it will be just the kiddos n me jer lah to celebrate this mini birthday bash.About 2pm, my birthday boy came back from school... showed him his cakes, he gave me a smile and then start to babble abt what happen in school aft we passed the cakes to the teacher. So on n on n on he goes, I made him to pause n asked him if he nak mkn or not. Dengan cepatnyer, he said "Mummy!!! Nak mkn!!" Boleh gitu. Aft done with his lunch of mee hoon goreng, he asked me he could cut the cake n start to stuff it in his mouth. But I told him to be patient to wait fr my eldest girl to be back from school. Although both of them are in a school next to each other (gurl is in Cyberjaya Sec) but their dismiss time is different. So we waited.... After my eldest came back, "WHAT R WE WAITING FOR??!!", we started to sing a birthday son for him and he started to pose for cake cutting ceremony. Meanwhile, my lil one, was making the whinning sound cos she had been waiting very patiently for the cake although 2 of the cupcakes dah kene kebas!!. Hahahaha. All in all, I gave a double thumbs up for the cakes as they were simply superlicious.... Insyaallah, will do this again in December for my lil one's birthday bash. Inserted, some picts that I took just to share.... Remember, sharing is caring right.. *wink wink*. Till then...... ciaooooo..... <3

~~XTRAORDINARY QIS~~

Sebenarnye, I nie baru jer balik dari my son's school. Ader Meet-Parent-Session. So lots of stuffs were being dicuss earlier lah. And tak sangka pulak that the teachers suma masih ingat my eldest girl nyer nama walaupun she dah go to secondary school. Maybe becos she was among the top students lah.  Anyway, today I tak nak citer pasal MPS tu sbb nothing much to talk abt lah. But today nie, I nak share something yang happen yesterday. Smlm tak sempat nak post pasal nie sbb dah post abt what happen in last December tu. Anyway, enjoyz k walaupun video nie cuma a very short one.... (Mcm2 ragam bila comes to pasal anak2 nie)

~~ SENDA GURAU LAST DECEMBER ~~

My eldest girl (Dyna) was browsing her camera and tiba2 ternampak video abt my son (Danish) yg menggelikan hati i (walaupun dah tgk berkali2, still ketawa bagai nak pecah perut). This happened last December. (Dat time b4 the BioSlim, I ader chubby byk lah - pomot nie). Masa tu I was back in Singapore during the year end school holiday. My parents, my brother, my kiddos n I went out fr our dinner somewhere near Masjid Sultan. Dat time my hub takder lah sbb kene tinggal kat KL hehehehe. (he's working and cudnt get his leave approve). Anyway, just something to laugh about lah....

I mean, manufacturers can paste anything in the ingredients list but as a consumer, would u know? Na'uzubillahminzalik... Wanna know more what Im talking about.... Read the below article and let's share abt these....

Bullets, bread and beer, tambourines and toothpaste... and the 180 other things you can to do with a PIG

When we tuck into a bacon sandwich, few of us wonder what has happened to the other parts of the pig whose life has been sacrificed so we can enjoy a juicy breakfast.

But one inquisitive writer set out to trace where all the body parts of one porker ended up.

Christein Meindertsma, 29, said: 'Like most people, I had little idea of what happens to a pig after it leaves the abattoir so I decided to try to find out. I approached a pig farmer friend who agreed let me follow one of his animals.'

Identified by its yellow ear tag number, 05049, her pig trail ended with her identifying an incredible 185 different uses to which it was put  -  from the manufacture of sweets and shampoo, to bread, body lotion, beer and bullets. 

Christein said: 'I was shocked when I began to find out just how unusual and varied the different uses for a ordinary pig were. It's almost as if these days, a pig is no longer thought of an animal  -  more like an industrial raw material with a mind-blowing amount of different uses.' 

She found that 4.9lbs of her 16st 3lb pig went to making wine gums, while 4.8lbs went into liquorice. In this process, collagen is taken from the pig and is then converted into gelatine. This finds its way into numerous foodstuffs, where it acts as a gelling agent. 

More...

Although not all sweets in the UK contain pork gelatine, many do  -  including Marks & Spencer's hugely popular and aptly-named Percy Pigs sweets. 

It is not only sweets that contain pork gelatine. In some beers, wines and fruit juices, pig gelatine is used to remove the cloudiness from the drink. It works as a clarifying agent by reacting with the tannins in the liquid and absorbing the cloudiness. 

Some ice creams, whipped creams, yoghurts and certain butters also contain gelatine, as do certain pet foods. More surprisingly, a number of medicines also contain pig gelatine  -  everything from painkillers to multivitamins. 

Hygiene and beauty products are also made of pig. Fatty acids extracted from the bone fat of pigs are used in shampoos and conditioners to give them their shiny, pearl-like appearance. These acids can also be found in a number of body lotions, foundations and anti-wrinkle creams. Glycerine made from pork fat is also an ingredient in many types of toothpaste. 

Christein, from Holland, found that while some companies were reluctant to cooperate in her quest, others claimed that they didn't even realise their products contained elements taken from a pig because of the middle men involved in the complex distribution process. 

The confusion is not helped by the fact that it is not clear on products' ingredient labels where they originally came from. 

According to the Food Standards Authority, there is no legal obligation for manufacturers to specify whether the gelatine they use is from a pig or another animal. When it is specified, it is often confusingly referred to as Suilline gelatine. 

According to Richard Lutwyche  -  a British pig farmer with more than 60 years experience, chair of the Traditional Breeds Meat Marketing Company and a member of the British Pig Association  -  the reasons for much of this confusion is due to the industrial-scale of much pig farming. 

'In the UK, big commercial farms send their pigs to large abattoirs. The abattoir will find different markets for all the by-products,' he says. 'Everything they can't sell they have to incinerate, so it's in their best interest to sell as much as they can. 

'There's an old expression that says: when it comes to pig, you can use everything but the squeal. Over the past 100 years those uses have expanded rapidly.' 

Some of the surprising products that can include pig material include photographic film, which uses collagen from pig bones; shoes that use bone glue from pigs to improve the quality of the leather; and certain paints that use bone fat to enhance their glossy properties. 

Some makers of cigarettes use haemoglobin from pig's blood in their filters. Apparently this element works as a sort of 'artificial lung' in the cigarette so, they claim, 'harmful reactions take place before the chemicals reach the user'. 

And the next time you buy a loaf of bread you would be well advised to read the packaging. Some manufacturers use an ingredient called L-cysteine, which is a protein made from pig or other animal hair and which is used to soften the dough. 

A product like Tesco's Plain Tortilla Wraps includes this ingredient. The strangest use for a pig by-product that Christein found was in bullets and explosives. Pig bone gelatine was used to help transport the gunpowder or cordite into the bullet. It is difficult not to be impressed by the sheer versatility of this animal and its parts. 

Virtually nothing in a pig goes to waste. The snout from Pig 05049 became a deep-fried dog snack, while pig ears are sometimes used for chemical weapon testing due to their similarity to human tissue. 

Tattoo artists even buy sections of pig skin to practise their craft on due to its similarity to human skin, while it is occasionally used with burns patients for the same reason. 

Pigs make an enormous contribution to medicine, with insulin, the blood-thinning drug heparin and pig heart valves all vital. 

However, for vegetarians, Jews keeping kosher, Muslims and anybody else wishing to avoid pig products, this may not be such good news. 

The complex workings of the global food and processing industry have ensured that it is almost impossible to avoid pig altogether.

~~ SALAM ISRAK MIKRAJ ~~

Last weekend tu rasanyer mcm cepat jer dah abis. Today = Monday. Cepatnyer masa berlalu. Seriously each time if weekends pops up, dah tak rasa aper2 ah. Last saturday, dari kul 11 pagi Im already out of the house cos fil  nak pegi umah sil kat Semenyih. Nak tido sana pulak katanyer sbb dah a week kat my place. We were there till abt 9pm and furthermore my sil tu baru jer balik frm Umrah.On Sunday pulak, out to Jemputan here at Taman Lestari Putra at 12 noon n then headed straight back home. Mcm penat semacam lah.. dats the reason I dun feel like going out. Usually kalau weekend comes jer, jgn haraplah we to be at home. Anyway, yesterday n today, Astro kasi free viewing fr all Astro channels lah..of course except Astro First lah hehehe. Im not sure y ... maybe sbb Israk Mikraj agaknyer. Kah kah kah. So nie alamatnyer, HBO, MAX, DISN, CITRA ajer lah.... Ya lah since its free kan.

~~ SAWAN FRIENDLY MATCH ~~

Hey hey.. hari nie nak ckp sikit pasal friendly match recently lah.. between SGP ngan MSIA. Pelik tapi nie lah yg berlaku... Nak kata haiwan, sebenarnyer manusia. Nak kata manusia, tapi perangai kok mcm tu kan. Sometimes, cant understand lah these humans. Kita nie bila gi tempat org mestilah nak tau beradab lah kan. Bak kata org tua2, masuk kandang kambing mengembek, masuk kandang rimau cepat2 lari. (Nak maut masok dlm kandang rimau?? Hehehehe ). Anyway, got this frm a web source. I nie not siding any 'party' sbb I nie org SGP and hubby lak org MSIA but as manusia yg dah diberi otak dari Allah swt, tak ke patut kita make full use of it right?? Bila dah menang tu dah tentu menang lah. Tapi kalau kalah atau seri, kita kene lah terima dgn 'gentleman'. Nie ntah aper2 lah kan.... So u judge urself, adakah ini dikata beradab? Kita nie org melayu, Islam lagi, tidak kah patot kita tunjukkan pd org kafir yg kita nie tidak mcm hooligans?? Well, u decide .....

~~ A NIGHTMARE FLASHBACK ~~

Hmm.. again, for today, early morning dah bgn n siap all except for cooking lah. Im in the mood of nak grg mee hoon. But still thinking again and again cos my father in law is here at home with me and usually he wants to eat rice lah for lunch and dinner. I nie actually dah bosan with rice. Nak mkn mee or roti2 jer but .......... Ikan i dah keluarkan cos thought that if I nak kene masak lauk, masak kari ikan jer done lah. While thinking of what to cook nie, tiba2 boleh terflash back pulak abt the ferrari n taxi accident yg happen kat Singapore. Semangat leh keluar kejap bila tgk video tu. Nanti i postkan video tu, u all tgk lah ek. Kalau nak comment abt it, sila - feel free to do so. 


 

So how?? Dah tgk kan?? Try imagine, U kat dlm taxi yg first tu. U ngah duduk diam2, tau2 U toleh ke kiri, U nampak ader ferrari tu tak slow down pon. Aper dlm fikiran u pada ketika tu? Gerun kan. Nyawa hilang mcm tu jer. Gara2 org lain. Allah kasi dia akal, dia tak pakai. Allah kasi dia mata, pon dia tak pakai. Yg worst nyer, Allah kasi dia hati, pooonnnn dia tak pakai. Macam mana tu....????  I tgk video nie, i rasa sympathy sgt to the family of taxi driver yg first tu. Dah lah sole breadwinner dlm family. Ader anak yg nak masok U tapi terpaksa ditangguh sbb kehilangan mata pencarian keluarga. Just because of the bloody ferrari driver tu. Dasar China-man. Kadang2 geram pon ader ah...Nasib baik ferrari driver tu mati. Kalau tak, nak ajer aku suruh doctor kasi dia injection 24hrs terus goal. 

K lah. I stop dulu k. Sebab dah terdengar2 suara kecil kat bilik atas yg dah memanggil2 suruh bawak dia turun bawah. Hehehehe. Nanti kalau ader aper2 news, I postkan lagi lah yer. (News atas nie pon dah berbulan yg lepas tapi tiba2 terasa nak post...)

Aiseyman.. today boleh termorning post lah.. Hehehehe. Well, since Im all done with the other chores and just waiting fr the chicken to defrost, here I am, posting early morning nonsense lah. Anyway, yesterday, I was browsing my FB, tergo (boleh gitu tergo ek), at Little Nur nyer FB. Memang ader LIKE FB created by parents dia tu. So I posted lah Salam Takziah utk parents nyer since I tak der chance to do so masa kat SG n bila balik few days back tu pon bz sikit. Nie pon luggage lom kemas lagi. Nak pack lengit, nak kemas balik pon lengit. Ok now back to arwah adik Nur kita, I go thru page dia n saw a video post frm Norleen, ibu kpd si arwah. Itu lah video terakhir yg sempat ibu nyer record sehari sebelom arwah menghembuskan nafasnyer yg terakhir. Innalillah dan al-fateha buat nyer. Anak sekecil tu menanggung kesakitan.. Dan ibunyer menjaga dgn penuh harapan utk si anak itu sembuh tetapi ternyata Allah tu lebih sayangkan adik Nur kita. Al-Jannah tempatnyer.. Below nie, I've post FB page nyer. Saper2 yg rasa2 free ke atau rindu ngan arwah adik Nur ke (walaupun takder related tapi terasa rindu dgn dia), sila2 lah browse yer. Buat jer blog nie mcm umah sendiri.. Nak tgk ke nak baca ke nak click mana2 ad ke, terpulang.... Hehehehe. K lah for the time being nie I stop kejap sbb ader budak kecik nie yg asik berdiri depan laptop so susah sikit nak type sbb kepala dia dah cukup utk block the whole laptop screen.

~~ QIS ON RECOVERING MODE ~~

Alhamdulillah syukur to Allah, Qis is on recovering mode. Syukur syukur syukur!!! She no longer having fever n her cough is subsiding. I was already on the stage of sending her to the hospital. But again, so much syukur to Allah. She is also eating well again after a week rejecting food n just consumed milk and plain water. She's sleeping well too. Just a week without food, I could see she thinning and weighing a little light. She's supposed to have her 18mths jab but I think I shall hold it back fr another 2 weeks b4 giving her that. I wont want her to get sick again within a wk.. pity her. Waiting fr hubby rite now, Im out of baby wipes and Drapolene nappy rash cream, gonna go n get some soon once hubby's back. In the mean time, enjoyz the pillow fights of my kiddos... Crazy of them..!! LOL.

~~ News update on Lil Nur's death ~~

Hey hey hey... Im back in KL (again) as school starts to reopen today. Yup reached home yesterday at about 10 plus in the evening. Penat u.... Anyway, on saturday, I was out frm 12noon cos my uncle ader buat wedding - my cousin wedding lah. Didnt have time to check my FB, email or blog. While on the way to the 'nikah' place, I was informed by my another elder cousin that lil Nur ( u remembered abt lil nur i mentioned in my previous posts?)... well she passed away on Saturday at abt 3.30am in KK Women and Children Hospital. Her Heart Fund has achieved abt S$400,000 for her to get her heart transplant in U.S. It shocked me although I dont know her or her mom. But she did touched my heart to help her indirectly. God knows whats best for us. Enclosed below, a clip i found in Youtube abt her death. (Al-fateha buat adik Adlea Ry'Kyla. Sesungguhnyer Syurga adalah tempat mu.)

~~ MY DEAR LIL QISTINA ~~

Today, as early as 4am, Im already awake as Qis was coughing away.. I couldnt sleep hearing her in such agony. I tapped her arm to make her fall asleep again n soothe her chest as well. But it seems the stubborn cough wont go away. Got up to get her medications, i gave her Ibrufen and her cough mixture as well as her temperature starts to go up. Instantly, i made up my mind to bring her to KK Children Hospital to get her check. Since, there's always a bad morning traffic jammed in CTE area heading towards KK, I decided to bring her there around 10am where traffic will be much better. We reached KK Children Hospital at abt 11am and I just need to wait fr about 15-20mins b4 I was attended. When my number was being called up, a normal routine check was conducted to Qis in the Triage area. Temperature at that moment was 38.9 degrees C. Immediately, she was given Paracetamol by the attending nurse n then was told to make payment and registration b4 my number/patient's name was being called. As I was making payment, Qis's name was being called and I immediately went over to the Emergency Area. Blood test was needed to determine that Qis doesnt have any dengue or other bacterial infection. And then we waited fr abt another 10mins b4 being called to see the doct. Xtray was recommended to see her chest area as she was having a rather bad cough. Once all done, we went over to the food court to get our lunch since we have to wait fr abt an hr for the blood test result. Done with our lunch, as I was changing Qis diapers, doct called to inform that the blood test result is with her already. Straight to the no. 12 door for the consultation, I was relieved that there's nothing serious based on the blood test result and the xtray. Qis is currently having a Viral Chest Infection and becos of that, she was having the fever n the bad cough that wont subside even aft a week. At the pharmacy I was given the medications that consist of 2 bottles of antibiotics, 1 bottle of runny nose medication, 1 bottle of salbutamol fr her cough n to open up her airway, 1 bottle of paracetamol and 1 bottle of Ibrufen. Looking at the medication and the doses, I know that I will have a hard time getting Qis to take everything up. And I was right, with just the antibiotics doses, she was already feeling like throwing up... just imagine fr an 18mths old  trying to swallow a 8.5ml antibiotics.. Ewwww... it taste yucky...BUT, i managed to get her to swallow it although its difficult. While she's having this fever n cough, she didnt take much food. Just a little biscuits, rice n milk. It saddens me a lot, OK!! I pray to Allah that He will make my lil sweetie well soon as i couldnt bear to see her suffer like that. Ok lah, m gonna rest awhile b4 she's awake n cranky grumpy again. Pray for my lil one n hear frm me again with my nonsense-ness ya...:)!! Adios Amigos..... ;) ;)
