Restoran Kudu Bin Abdul

MSN asyik bising nak makan at Kudu for quite some time. He used to go there with MIL and also his friends but since married lama dia tak makan kat sini. I served him well, I guess. #flipstudung

So one day before noon, MSN WhatsApp me and asked:

MSN: Are you going out for lunch?

Me: No plan yet so far. Anything?

MSN : Jom Kudu.

Me: Ok.

We reached there at 1230pm and the line is already outside the restaurant like this.

I kept on mumbling to MSN this better be good as it was freaking hot and we had no seats yet. MSN asked me not to worry because by the time it's our turn, there will be anyone done and there will a table for us. He said, it's just works every time.





 

Panas berdenting but full house.




For like about 10 minutes of queuing, finally it's our turn. My lauk is always simple. Either ayam goring / ikan tenggiri goreng, sayur (kobis or taugeh goreng) and kuah campur banjir.
It's my official Nasi Kandar choice of lauk tak kira dimana jua.

 Deretan lauk pauk:

Tenggiri Goreng, Ayam Goreng, Bendi Celur, Taugeh Goreng, Kari Telur, Ayam Kicap, Ikan Tenggiri Kicap, Ayam Parathal

 Lauk lagi:

Kari Udang Galah, Kari Ketam, Sotong Kicap, Telur Masin, Telur dadar, Daging Masak Hitam

 Super big Kari Udang Galah

 

Mine is the 1st picture and MSN's the next one.
So.. I added Tauhu Sambal and Telur Dadar.




Mine;
Nasi, Kari campur banjir, Ayam Goreng, Tauhu Sambal, Taugeh Goreng and Telur Dadar = RM 9


MSN;
Nasi, Kari campur banjir, Ayam Goreng, Taugeh Goreng and Telur Masin = RM 7.50


Total with our Bali Limau, Sirap Limau and Air Suam = RM 21.20




WORTH.EVERY.PELUH..
Hahaha.

It is so sedap that if rindu nasi kandaq penang mai la makan sini. (eh terus cakap Penang)
Please come early to avoid queue yang super panjang. We finished eating around 115pm and the line are still piling up.




Definitely going to come back.

Fast & Furious 8

image credit to : Google Image

Almost all cinemas were fully booked for this must watch movie. Me & hubs been trying real hard to get the tickets one day after another. Thanks for not being alert and missed out the pre sale.
While both of us trying to book / pay the ticket online we both are like a movie bookie flipping through different cinema apps for the best timing / seats. Hahaha. And finally, we managed to blocked our seats at The Starling, Damansara... MBO's 4D cinemax.. weeee hooo!!!!!


Not even a blinked.
Even though we have suspected how the things going to flip the table around, but none of the story line were expected. The clue to everything had been highlighted since the first scene.
I am not going to give or hint any spoilers. Just giving out a few key points.


I have to say it is just another typical FF series of story. That is only applicable on the action part. Well, it has to be that way if not it wouldn't be titled as Fast & Furious. Duhhhh...


But, what's more important is the message behind. I respect the way the director build up all characters in this movie. The message is very clear.


The honesty.
The trust.
Family bond.
The teamwork.
The intelligence.
The skills.
Walk the talk.
Determination.
Strong will.
Infinity love.


Every single dialog has a message. Even it is from that funny Roman. Gosh that man. Hahaha.


So, if you haven't got the chance to watch, please do check it out ok? You wouldn't regret it.
8/10 from me. (Got to save the other 2 because if I'm Letty, I'll be jealous.. but, she's not! Oppsss!)


Note:
MBO The Starling. Please put a sign 'not available' to all products that you don't have it ready yet. 'Dah Habis' and 'Memang Belum Ada' is totally a different thing. It is quite frustrating when we excitedly asked for something and literally the menu was there first before the stocks are in. TQ.

Antara pendapat dan hukuman

Hukuman? Judgement.. hukuman lah kan in Malay?
(I'm not sure the direct translation of judgement or judging in Malay.. so, bantai ajerlah ye?)


I had a long talk with one of my closest colleagues tadi. We were just randomly talking about life, attitude, gossips and the after effects. And man... life is indeed a karma.


Now a days, in the news you'll be surprise with what is happening around you.
Mak bunuh anak.
Anak tetak mak.
Bapa rogol anak.
Abang rogol adik.
Parents tinggalkan anak2 sebatang kara.
Parents jual anak.
Jiran having intimate affairs.
Mertua punca cerai.
Parents punca cerai.
Remaja ada anak tidak sah taraf.
Penyakit pelik2.
Adik beradik tak bertegur sapa.
Orang Kaya Baru tak sedar diri.
Maruah perempuan is like, nothing!
Parents dibiarkan tua begitu sahaja


Now that I list everything out, I don't know which one to start.


Let's start about parenting. I am not a parents myself yet. But my circle is at all stages of parenthood.
What I can see, there is never a right or wrong in being a parents or on how you handle or educate your children. But, what is important is the basics in life. Teaching them to respect, to be fair, to share, to be decent.


It is ok to have some sort of standard of your own, but it is not ok if sampai tahap jadi disrespectful. Contoh; you tend to educate your children to be friended or to mix around only with a certain type of people. To make it worst, even among families. Your children are only allowed to be nice to Aunty A, Aunty B but not Aunty C. It's because Aunty C is just an ordinary medium class Aunty. Not those posh rich Aunties.
So, anak2 yang baik tiba2 dah jadi disrespect. Even though you had everything covered for them both ilmu dunia and akhirat... but at then you are building their attitude menjadi kurang ajar and memilih tak bertempat.


It is good untuk bagi anak2 bercampur dengan sekeliling yang bagus dan high standard. Tetapi, you have to allow them to mix around. Supaya in the future, when you are not around... dia senang bergaul ketengah ketepi... dan yang paling penting, semua orang akan senang with them.


Parents hanya nak yang terbaik untuk their children but along the way, they screwed up without realising it. Anak2 you tak membesar sekelip mata. Support system sekeliling you yang banyak membantu you from Day 1. You like it or not, you owe them. But of course, di dalam dunia sekarang, akhirnya parents yang tolong tengokkan cucu ni akhirnya jadi obligation pulak. Belum lagi hati yang terguris sebab dah lah orang tua tu tolong jaga cucu tu.. tapi tak boleh cucu kena marah sikit.. dah anak menantu pulak hentam orang tua tu...
Berdosa, tau tak?
Mak ke.. Mak Mertua ke.. hukumnya sama. BERDOSA.


Itu belum lagi yang masa berlengas, orang lain tengok2 kan.. bila dah besar baru parents take over. Terus take over sampai lupakan langsung sejarah silam. Support system yang di gunakan dulu ni kemain terkapai kapai sahaja dibiarkan. Siap anak2 tu menyombong lagi dengan the support system tu.


Nampak tak?
Tujuan asal nak bagi the best education ever. Nak educate the best.
Akhirnya, jadi disrespectful.
Bukan semua, but hampir semua.
Yang buat, tak akan sedar. Tapi, yang dibuat sangat terkesan.


Ada tu anak2 ramai, Alhamdulillah semua ada bahagian masing2.. Tapi tak larat nak jaga ibunya.
I am agak terkesan with my cousin's statement baru ni.. "I don't want to put any of my children's name.. sebab nanti, even I am still alive, depa dah hantaq me to old folks home..."
and no, anak2 nya sangat baik budi jaga dia semua. Cuma dia berjaga-jaga kerana hati manusia ni, bila Allah nak duga, kena pusing tu sekelip mata sahaja.


Awak ada rumah, dia pun ada.
Rumah dia kecik, tetap namanya rumah juga.
Awak ada kereta, dia pun ada.
Kereta awak lebih hebat? Tapi, kereta dia senantiasa membawa ibunya berjalan2.


Life ni simple jer.
Jangan mula pertikaikan hak orang.
Jangan mula compare dan up ego sombong dengan orang.
Darah sama merah.
Kalau sakit, kat bank blood tu tak sempat pun nak pilih darah orang kaya only.
Kalau meninggal, tak sempat pilih pun orang kaya je allowed nak tolong angkat you masuk kubur.


Dalam mengeducate anak-anak... we should educate ourselves as well.
Jangan baru join usrah, terus buat dalil. terus jatuhkan hokum kat orang.
You tak tau apa amal dia.
You tak tau macam mana hati dia.


Kesimpulannya... bersederhanalah.
Campur lah dengan masyarakat.
Jangan sombong.
Lebih kronik. Jangan bodoh sombong.






Love, Ayu

Beauty and The Beast (BATB) - The Movie 2017

In this Internet world, sadly I would like to say sorry that I am from Malaysia and yes, Malaysia has been quite "hot" banning BATB earlier on. This fairy-tale has been my favourite like forever.. and yes, I was so looking forward to it since day 1 of the promo is out.

Poor LeFou..
But luckily due to a lot of pressure, the movie was released finally. Booked the pre-sale tickets and force MSN to accompany me.




MSN's point of view:
"The controversy had me expecting more from this movie. But along the way I realised that it is a Disney's fairy-tale... and this is not a disappointment at all!
The musical, the cinematography.. all are good..."

Me?
I love everything about it.
The songs.
The dresses.
The script.
It makes the 7y/o in me smiling all through.

It wouldn't be a must watch movie.. but it is definitely every girl's dream to watch it.

Major throwback: My Bridal Showers.

Yup. Showers. I had two. Both a surprise.
Alhamdulillah.




Before any judgement being made, please understand that my concept of a Bridal Shower is mainly being together with all my close ones. With this hectic lifestyles, it is very difficult to have everyone gathers for just a simple 15 minutes. Plus, we have Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram and etcs.. why bother meeting up?
Pffftttt....




I wanted to host my own shower actually. Because, I am the only one who will know who that I wanted to spent a little 'joy' with before getting married. But moving towards 'the' day... Everything went crazy, I can hardly sit alone for even 5 solid minute... No proper sleep... Suddenly a lot of things need to be done and bought..ANDDDD everyone's emotion goes haywire. Don't ask about my emotion. It is beyond haywire. Bridezilla?? (Do you have any other worst word that I can use?)




So day changes very super fast that it's already a week before the wedding. So I decided to cancel my day spa, meni pedi and body massage. MSN was not very happy about it but due to circumstances at his end as well, he couldn't bother about it that much.
wedding.preparation.is.killing.us.




We even thought of cancelling the wedding.. yes, that serious. not us. but all the people around us.


But like a miracle, my close colleague, Ina.. suddenly call me up and booked me for an advanced birthday and wedding present. She said, I just need to take leave, be at home and she will pick me up. I agree in split seconds. I mean being away for just a teh tarik session aaarrggh,, blissful. 30 minutes of stress free from the wedding preparation. OK. bring it on!




I was excitingly happy waiting for Ina to pick me up that morning. Hati excited, tangan masih last minute gentel favors for VIP lagi. Ina sampai, jemput masuk sekejap jumpa Mom and off we go...
Bangsar bebeeeehhh...




It was a beautiful 2 hours session that are so super relaxing. It was on a working day, hence Bangsar is less hassle and the spa was so empty. It was only me & Ina. Haha.


Done Spa, I have made a promise to accompany Ina makan. This women bila part makan, janji means janji ok. Since she chooses the place semua, why not kan? We bumped into my cousin brother in the mall. He was shocked. Let me tell you why...




Becauseeeeeee... Ina & MSN planned this up!
Isk!

the culprits

THEY HAVE PLANNED THIS FOR TWO WEEKS AND I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A GLIMPSE OF AN IDEA ABOUT IT AT ALL!!!!!!!


That Spa was nothing actually. It was just a way to bring me there. There's Elly, MSN, my cousin brother (Abg Saiful), Yanok, Yanok's mom and Amad too!


It was so much fun and relief dapat duduk setempat dengan tenang just chilling makan minum gelak semua. But, most of the time, Ayu nangis. Haha... Jadi session mengadu lak kat situ. Cembeng sangat.


Some pictures from the session:

Depa pun bukak lah cerita on how gigih MSN susun atur semua ni. Sebab dia nak juga buat because he said I am so stressed out teramat sangat approaching wedding ni.
(memang pun)

Tq Cik Abang for making it happen. Appreciate it!


That is on the 10th of Nov.. the next day, on the 11th... My niece Nana ajak lepak makan at Kulcats. Like terus cakap onnnnssszzzzz sebab I had been wanting to eat there like forever!!!!!!!!
(nak kawin pun fikir pasal their crème brule lagi tau...sedappp)


Sekali sampaaaiiiii... ada Angah, Achik, Ateh & Qeema as well! Lepas tu, MakAyu depa ni pun started crying dah. Owh my.. these beautiful souls yang Mak Ayu tengok membesar depan mata celebrating me. I am truly honoured and terharu.....

Nana even hosted 2 games that night. It was so hilarious and I can proudly say my nieces knows me well.

I super love the cupcake bouquet.. I super love the games hosted... great food.. nice place.... and there is so much love from these bunch.
sedih lak tiba2.


I love you sayang2ku...
Thank You so much for making this for me.


May Allah reward all of you with abundance of love forever. Muahsss!!!!!

jom nikah jom.

Love, Ayu
