… Every weekend will be my cooking or baking day! Yeay~

Ini cerita Sabtu lepas. Went to sleep at 4am in the morning & obviously I slept at 4am on Sunday morning sebenarnya sebab prepare laksa Sarawak punya pasal because taknak berebut dapur next morning. When I woke up Shuhada’s mother jerit “Yeay… Kak Nono dah bangun! Tolong aunty buat roti jala ye..” Mestilah cuak. Tak pernah buat roti jala OK….

I told her “Org tak pernah buat roti jala la auntyyyyyyy…”

“Tak pe buku resepi adeeee”

Then I said to Shud “Gila wey, Kak Nono tak pernah buat roti jala”

Out of nowhere mama Shud replied me “I heard you Kak Nonooooooo…”

Me: “Ye la ye la aunty I tryyyy”

Mama Shud: “Goodddd”

And obviously my first attempt failed. :P

Ada hangus hangus. Wuwuwuw… But I am getting better tho! Seronok I tell youuuu ;)) Tapi roti jala yang lain2 org tak ambik gambar pulak. :D 

Oh, org masak laksa Sarawak jugak…! ;) Perencah diterbangkan khas dari Miri Sarawak OK! I am glad everyone liked it. Alhamdulillah…

So yea, insha Allah if time permits every weekend will be my cooking or baking day dengan syarat I need to mengajar adik adik Shud mengaji. I was a bit cuak to accept that request but insha Allah I can do it kot. Doakan saya OK. Lagipun whenever balik ke Miri, I did mengajar my little brother mengaji sometimes, and tutoring dia buat homework jugak. In some ways I do enjoy teaching kiddos. Even though sometimes I am a bit garang to them but when they manage to grab things that I taught them I feel happy!

And in some ways, I wanna train myself jugak jadi seorang perempuan. I know it sounds a bit poyo rokos, eiuhh and mengada but I am so serious. May be I cannot really master the skills 100 percent-ly but to me it is enough if I know what to do at least. For sure la in the future I want to cook and bake for my husband & children kan? Ahem~ Okay okay… I know I got carried away. I am so sorry… But itulah kenyataannya :) Don’t you think? I do dream about that OK. :)

Oh, saya gemok balik la kawan-kawan……. :( Sedih sekejap.

Hmm… Anyhoo, Oh I think I didn’t blog about my Cream-O Philadelphia Cheesecake I made two weeks ago kan? Kan? This is an instant cake takyah nak bake bake… Ala-ala dessert. :)

Obviously, I am now into culinary. To me, it so enjoyable and rasa best sangat when people enjoy eating food yang awak prepare. Chewah~ :)

Family Portraits: Baby Amani & Fams! :)

As promised here’s the series of family portraits of baby Amani Soo and fams I photographed two weeks ago. And oh! Baby Amani turned 1 year old on that day too… Hoyeah~ ;)




I’ve been knowing Amani’s mommy, my comelicious kak Peanut since I was in primary school because both her parents are working in Miri (till now) and our families are so closed! But we rarely meet cus she was studying in KL at that time and later pursuing her studies in UK. And last February, after…well may be about 8 or 10 years we got the chance to meet again during her sister’s wedding and omaigawddd with a baby!!! How time flies…

She discovered that I am sooo into photography and requested me to photograph her baby Amani on her birthday… And of course, I am in! :)

We don’t really have a specific style or theme for the family portraits tho. But I’ve been told that both kak Peanut and abang Adam were thinking to bring Amani to Aquaria, KLCC for a family outing. I have no problem with that at all except for not-that-really-appealing lighting conditions in Aquaria lah. Worst, no one is allowed to use flash in Aquaria… But I thank God my Sony A300 worked perfectly fine and OK on that day. Hee! But mind you, it was so challenging gilaaaa…

And later, we went to Pavilion…! I told kak Peanut that I MUST MUST MUST shoot them using available light because I want to capture them at their best moment la kan. (: So… Tadaaaa…

Then we had a simple birthday celebration for baby Amani during iftar.. :) Honestly it was fun… :)

Sangat adorable! *Cubit Amani’s cheeks!*

Anyway, I am dedicating this entry to Erol and Norris .. Hee.. Aok, dah update dah! Hehe...

P.s: Thanks to hani apandi for following Nono Fara. Photo Blog! ;)

It’s time to get back to work!

So here goes my post raya entry. Hee…

I am very sure everyone had a blast raya this year kan? Mine was just okay & good Alhamdulillah even though it wasn’t that great (as in blast). :) But one thing I am very sure is, on the first day of Syawal I felt the so called real self contentment that I was hoping and praying for throughout Ramadhan. I am so glad for that… My Ramadhan & Syawal this year tersangat lah meaningful… And Ramadhan this year surely will be dearly missed. :)

The reason for that is because I am totally a mess before this. Even though I looked okay but deep inside I feel messed up inside out. But now, I am totally OK and I am now at an optimal point of happiness. Its true time is what we need the most when reasons cannot kan? And with things that happened one thing I am very sure is I love myself more now. More than you can imagine. Siapa jahat dengan saya, saya gigit dia. Hehe… And oh, I thank Allah for sending me a lot of cool people too, those who just listened quietly with things I told them without judgment but manage to rationalize me back without forcing me to do the right things (kononnya) or blaming me if I did something yang diorang tak setuju with.

Well, truth is I am in search of my real self. Tu je actually. :)

Anyway, may be for some people when it comes to hari raya it is the time to gather, kumpul ramai-ramai adik kakak kan? But do you ever thought of celebrating raya for yourself? Doing some self-reflection at least? Because most of the time we were occupied with raya preparation that surely melupakan kita about things that matter the most to ourselves, our soul. I know I am a bit “deep” here and I don’t think people will understand with what I am trying to say here rather than to be potentially untuk di-misunderstood for having a different and weird thought. Hee… Don’t blame me for being too different from you OK! This is who and how I am. I am a kind of girl yang sangat overly into myself that’s why…

Insha Allah for the next hari raya (next year) I want to travel out from Malaysia kot. So I really need to work hard for that. I am a big girl now and I know what I am going to get myself into, what I am good at, things that interest me, love and like. Insha Allah… I will work hard for that. :D Just wait and see, if ada rezeki, adalah… If takda I will try to make it ada. Haha… :D And you know what I am going to travel alone! Yeehaq! ;) Insha Allah… Mudah-mudahan jadi nyata. :D :D :D

Okay la gadis yang extremely obsessed with herself mahu stop… I think it is still not too late to wish you Selamat Hari Raya. Raya kan sebulan.. Maaf zahir batin OK.. :)

Selamat bekerja & belajar esok!

Eh eh eh... Before that, just wanna inform you that in the next entry I am going to blog about a family portrait session I photographed two weeks ago. So, tungggguuuuu :D

"Crop it in your eyes. Crop it in your camera"

"Crop it in your eyes. Crop it in your camera." - Archiprezmosis (Shutterspeak Studio)

This is my first time joining a photography seminar and it was worth it... And it was extra worth and extra cool as well because the workshop was conducted by one of my favorite local photography team SHUTTERSPEAK STUDIO! I like their works very very much because they always emphasize on simplicity in their shots and yups, I just love it.

I really want to join a real photography workshop next time, I mean the one with outdoor photography practice so that I will be able to implement things that I've been taught straight away. And I think I prefer if it is conducted by my favorite photographer or photography team so that I am more excited to learn and more easily get inspired to shoot. But of course, if my time and money permits me to do so lah... :P

Now I know why Saiful Nang always encourage people to join more seminars, talks and workshops in order to enhance ones skills in photography. Sebab lebih effective... ;)

Last but not least...

"With all the drawback of HDSLR people are banging left and right, for US wedding cinematographers, the most important thing in this business is the final output, not the gears nor the missing features in a camera.We don’t do TV shows. Looking back of how much we have achieved in a year, we are pretty much proud of what we produced and hope that we have entertained all of our previous clients and also blog readers with our Wedding Documentaries." - Zeozadan (Shutterspeak Studio)
