The A.B.C

A for Aeroplane
B for Block
C for Castle

Nahh~

ABC for this post stand for Air Batu Campur or Air Kacang = Mixed Ice(literally meaning). ABC is among the favourite dessert in a sunny day. It is also common in Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia.


Manual Block Ice Shaver

During the old days, they usually used the metal machine/manual blocks ice shaver and they have to role it by hand. Compared to this days, complete with the modern technology, there are lots of ice shaving machine in market such as:

Hand Blender - Small Cube Ice Only


Electric Ice Shaver 


This is what we have at home. Kak Yatie, who just went back from Japan, gave us this stuff as a souvenir. 
ありがとう  (Thank you!)


 Modern Ice Shaver?


"Formerly, it was made of only shaved ice and red beans, though the number and diversity of ingredients has since expanded. Today, ais kacang generally comes in bright colours, and with different fruit coctails and dressings.

In Malaysia, almost all variants now contain a large serving, red beans, sweet corn, grass jelly and cubes of agar-agar as a common ingredients. Other less-common ingredients include aloe vera, cendol, nata de coco or ice cream. A final topping of evaporated milk, condensed milk, or coconut milk is drizzled over the mountain of ice along with red syrup, sarsi syrup or gula melaka syrup. Some stalls have even introduced novelty topping such as durian, chocolate syrup and ice cream." - Wikipedia 

My dongseng(little brother) and I do compete to each other to produce the best ABC last week. Which both taste the same because we are using the same kind of ingredients.

Personality


" You are a generous and moral (not to confuse with moralizing) person. You always work on self-improvement. You are very ambitious and have very high standards. People might think that communicating with you is difficult, but for you, it isn't easy to be who you are. You work very hard but you are not in the least selfish. You work because you want to improve the world. You have a great capacity to love people until they hurt you. But even after they do...you keep loving. Very few people can appreciate everything you do as well as you deserve..."

Ramadhan and Memory


Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Different feeling I felt from celebrating Ramadhan while having to experience  it in others country. . The most unforgettable moment while celebrating Ramadhan is went I was in Indonesia. Yes, Indonesia is not on my first list to live in it which I do much prefer my country itself. But being parts of it before is such an amazing story to have. Thank you ;)


Saya Sayang Malaysia - "NegaraKu Tanah Tumpahnya DarahKu"

I am 11(1999) during Mak being post to Jakarta. The five of us moved to Jakarta and stay at our own Malaysian Embassy;
Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta, Indonesia
JJl. H.R. Rasuna Said
Kav.X/6, No. 1-3 Kuningan
Jakarta Selatan 12950
Indonesia

Hana posted this photo at FB, me was not in it. Hahaha...

Ramadhan celebrations in Jakarta feels me with joys. My friend(Hana, Mastura, Kak Sofea and Kak Ika) and I will be make sure that we are not going to waste our time in that month of Holy. But let me introduce my energatic Hana first. She is 1 years younger than me, but she is very helpful and intelligence plus very charming to whom ever she mingle around with. Sorry guys, bad news for you. She's married and last month(July 2013), she has delivered a cutey baby girl name Nur Farisya Iman.

To excited to listen makes us sometimes feels that "the things" are staring at us  during that time. Hahaha...I'm telling you, Malaysian Embassy at Jakarta is the ex-burial ground. Some of the big trees are forbidden to cut down because "the things" will disturb your life. erk!

Friday is a special day for everyone during Ramadhan because we will break our fast together in the big hall. Kids are excited because will meet other kids who stay outside from the embassy. We gather and spent time together playing. Mommies and Daddies joining the Islamic forum and us children play Hide and Seek. The hall is too big and it is double-storey building completed with podium, chairs, curtains, air conditioning and etc. Usually we will divide the team by gender because both the teams are strong.

Top 10 Productive Ramadhan

The first year celebrating Ramadhan at the Embassy, we are allowed to play firework. But due to some conspiracy, it's been banned.

But its not a big deal for us as we can still playing around and be happy as always...To bring back the memory was such a pleasure for me. The sweetness of it never fade thought it's already happen past 12 years ago. Be there with my friend, seek for our time together with playing, studying and lepak-ing will kept deep down in my heart. Thank you friend. Thank you Memories, Thank you Jakarta, Thank you Ramadhan...Till we meet again next year...InsyaAllah.

For the newbie plus reminder for the other and for myself too. ;) 

No more Idea better stop here.

Assalamualaikum.

Pasar Malam - Kisah disebalik TaBir

Peristiwa ni dah jadi last 2 weeks. Untuk pengetahuan, ada pasar malam yang wujud kat belakang rumah (not exacly belakang rumah ; 3 minute by bikes). 2 hari; Isnin & Jumaat masa operasinya. Nak dijadikan cerita, hari tu my family & I akan turun ke JB, so I tak la nak masak meriah sangat macam biasa. In the end masak Nasi Goreng Bujang je. My cousin datang dari Tg. Malim, Perak. Dia nak tumpang balik JB sebab Sabtu malam ada kenduri nak sambut Ramadhan sekali buat tahlil untuk mereka yang telah dijemput oleh-Nya. Alhamdullillah segalanya berjalan dengan lancar. My huge family sangat ringan tulang. Proud of them. MUCH!

Okey, kembali kepada peristiwa yang jadi dekat pasar malam belakang rumah, my cousin tu niatnya nak ke pasar malam adalah untuk beli earphone. Ada macam-macam jenis earphone/headphone/accessories hand-phone yang ada dalam gerai yang kami tuju tu. Sementara my cousin pilih his earphone, ternampak sepasang anak dan ayah yang turut berjalan menuju ke gerai kami sedang kunjungi. Si Ayah dalam usia yang menjangau 50-an kelihatan sangat segak walaupun hanya memakai kemeja berkolar lusuh, berseluar slack, berkopiah putih dan memakai selipar yang mungkin jarang beliau pakai kerana melihat kepada kondisi seliparnya yang masih berada dalam keadaan yang baik. Berbeza dengan penampilan si anak. Si anak lebih selesa mengenakan baju T-shirt berlengan pendek, jean 3-Quarters dan berselipar.

Based on my pemerhatian, si ayah sedaya upaya untuk berpakaian yang kemas untuk tidak memalukan si anak walaupun mereka hanya ke pasar malam. Dalam sedang si anak memilih earphone yang sesuai dengan kriterianya, si ayah tersipu-sipu dengan orang yang berjalan berlegar berdekatan gerai tersebut. Akhirnya setelah mengambil masa dalam 10 minit begitu, si anak bersetuju untuk mengambil earphone ciplak Made in China Dr.Dre Beats. Ekspresi si anak sangat megah dengan pilihan itu lalu terus menyatukan earphone tersebut dengan hand-phonenya. Lalu tinggal si ayah mengeluarkan dompetnya yang lusuh, dan memberi note RM 25.00 dengan tangannya yang kasar dan berkedut kepada penjual yang sedang berdiri menantikan proses pembayaran selesai. 

Though lampu yang tidak berapa terang dekat gerai tu, I can see clearly, inside the father's wallet, the remaining items left only the old and nearly vanish receipt plus a little bit coins and a few of RM 1 notes. Si ayah tidak teragak langsung semasa mengeluarkan duit itu. Dengan baki duit yang tinggal kurang daripada RM10.00 itu, dapatkah si ayah mengisi perut untuk seisi keluarganya. Pengorbanan si ayah amat besar. Walau hanya membeli barangan ciplak tu, amat jelas bahagianya hati beliau apabila melihat wajah si anak yang terlampau bangga dengan harta baru nya itu. Selepas urusan jual beli itu selesai, kelibat anak-beranak itu kemudiannya hilang dari pandangan mata dengan si anak berjalan dihadapan dan si ayah tersingguh-singguh di belakang.

Pasar malam, banyak telitah manusia yang dapat kita lihat. Dari mereka yang bergolongan tidak mampu kepada kurang mampu kepada mampu dan seterusnya terlebih mampu. Makanan, bahasa, pakaian, barangan, dan bau asap di pasar malam waktu itu, cukup untuk menceritakan gelagat manusia dalam menempuh liku-liku hidup. Ya, memang kisah ini agak enting jika kita bandingkan dengan kisah orang lain. Tapi peristiwa ini amat memberi impak yang mendalam bagi diri ini. Pengajaran untuk semua I guess. No offense. 

 Terdetik dihati, mampukah si anak membalas jasa si ayah? 

Sama-sama kita doakan untuk kesejahteraan dan kebaikan untuk keluarga ini. Amin...
