Selamat Hari Raya

Maaf Zahir dan Batin. 

My Ramadhan Dreams

is a long list of dreams.

Have you ever come across ahaadith narrated by Aisha on Rasulullah SAW? Well, that is a huge dream of mine, to be able to have a glimpse of what Aisha r.a felt towards her husband. or simplifying it, I want to be Aisha r.a. 

And it's Ramadhan. My first Ramadhan as a wife, and thus I just can't wait(almost hyper) to spend it with The Husband. walaupun hanyalah sehari dua. 

We will definitely finish strong, insyaAllah!

Ramadhan Day 14

A'ah Naziha tengah buang tebiat ni. Semalam saya masak terung berlada gara gara tengok gambar Kak Izza masak padahal sebelum ni tak pernah pernah makan hahaha. So so random. 

and now I'm sharing Red-Velvet-Cupcakes-How-To. 

Ahhhhhh I just need to be saved lol

----------------

Red Velvet Cupcakes For The Win!!

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 175.

Step 2: Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cocoa powder and a pinch of salt until well mixed. 

Step 3: Combine oil and sugar. Add eggs, buttermilk, vanilla essence, mix well and then add in half cup of coffee, vinegar and red coloring. Kacau kacau kacau. 

Step 4: Add in our dry ingredient into wet ingredient. Kacau secukup rasa, and you dont wanna to overbeat it. Kalau tak cake end up tak moist. Kot. 

Step 5: Line in the silicon cups/tray with cupcakes liner for easy removing. Scoop in your batter. 

Step 6. Bake for 15 minutes. Check, and bake again if the batter stick to the toothpick. Jangan sampai overbake, basically, you need to check every minute after the 15 minutes line. 

Step 7: DONE YAY. Cool the cupcakes on a cooling rack. 

Step 8: Ehh maybe not done yet. Lets make the cream cheese toppings. Put in cream cheese, powdered sugar and some butter. Please note that semua kena in room temperature supaya batter tak berketul ketul  mcm Malek Nor. When everything is well mixed, letak sesudu dua fresh milk. Ni takde specific measurement sbb pakai ilmu hentam keromo, ingredient utama dia ialah cream cheese, and tambah powdered sugar lagi dan lagi sehingga manis di lidah masing masing. Kalau batter tu runny, tambah lagi powdered sugar. 

Step 9: Toppings should be on the top of your cupcakes dah nama pon toppings kan. Pandai2 sendiri lah buat sbb saya tak pandai seni piping segala ni hahah. Sejukkan if you can wait before having your first bite x_x

Ramadhan Day 13

More and more reason to love The Husband. Alhamdulillah!

Ada dua perkara yang saya macam tak terfikir sangat sebelum ni, sehinggalah mendapat cik hidayah syukor baru baru ni alhamdulillah! It was A-Pang-Moment yang macam, "A'ah laaa kenapalah aku tak terpikir pon sebelum ni cuk3"

• Kata akak usrah di sesi berkenalan, "InsyaAllah dah kahwin ni, terjagalah sikit hati dan mata kita kann." and I was like startled for a second. Yeah sangatlah betul bila direnung renung life sebelum kahwin dan selepasnya. Alhamdulillah! 
• Saya terbaca post Fathiyyah, wishing her friends yang nak kahwin, it goes like this, ".... Selamat menikmati keindahan 'Sakinah, Mawaddah wa Rahmah' yang telah dijanjikanNya.... ". Dengan jakunnya hati jantung menjerit A'AH LAAA!!, tak pernah terfikir pon itu sebenarnya janji Allah. dan indeed, tiada yang lebih menepati janji selainNya. 

Kesimpulannya, sila kahwin kawan2 sekalian haha err... sila banyak berfikir benda benda berfaedah sikit Naziha, WMF or Fissler tak membantu perkembangan minda ponnnnnn

Genèva, May 2012

So after spending our Sunday morning in Basel, we headed down to Geneva. Good thing about Swiss is that everything is just close by, it's like going to Kelantan from Johor in freaking 3 hours! 

In Basel, people speak Deutsch and in Geneva, just a stone throw away, they speak French. Oh well just like Kelantan and Johor you see lol. 

We checked in the overly priced hotel(mygad!), solat and rest a bit, then head out again for FOOD. It was a cold summer day, jadinya sangat malas nak ambik gambar. We wandered around, kononnya nak cari Jet d'eau ataupon air pancut di Lake Geneva tapinya dah lambat kot sebab dah takde! The lake was so beautiful though, somehow lagi cantik dari Rhine river in Basel. 

Around Lake Geneva

Everything was kinda overpriced in Geneva. Food was like twice the normal price, tapi disebabkan laparrr taram je lahh. (Eh ke taram je lah sbb ada orang lain yang bayor? Kah3). We found the 'halal street' there alhamdulillah, yay for the food, but it was sort of scary because of the location. Dirty and 'adult entertainment' kind of area. The weird thing was that, while we were waiting for food in the restaurant, we heard adhan from afar. Conclusion, there must be a mosque nearby, and lots of Muslim do live there because it's cheap as compare to other areas. But I swear that I hold on tight to The Husband because that place is err.. creepyyy!

Gemoks!

The next morning, we wandered around again and found these; Pakcik in jubah in the middle of the city, "All cops are bas**** and extreme backpackers lol. Interesting interesting.. 

and next, jom pergi Luzern!! :)

Le Husband and Le Cute, Awesome, Genius Wife. Lol

Ramadhan Day 7

If he does not take my hand, what reliance can there be

On my works and on my prayers, offered so distractedly?

Allahumma Solli 'Ala Saiyidina Muhammad SAW

[Pray My Lord, Nader Khan]

Ramadhan Day 4

Boleh gebang dah sbb ada org call tanya beli cream puff tu kat mana sedangkan saya buat sendiri! (Okay sila muntah berjemaah sekarang!) Bakat surirumah makin tercungkil nampaknya hihi. But as always, I personally think that a housewife with a PhD lagi bergaya dan menawan gituwww. Hahaha bab berangan ni memang laju kann :P

Okay behave behave.

Tipu je sebenarnya sbb that batch of cream puffs are actually soooo out of shape, and the sweetness of   custard fillings should be toned down a lil bit. Orang yang bertanya tu mesti dah lama tak jumpa cream puff sampai lupa camno sepatutnya haha. but as always I will try to make it again until I make myself blissfully satisfied. 

The same goes for Ramadhan, lets try to give out our best insyaAllah. The outcome is just something extra,  as Allah knows how much effort we actually put in struggling to be in our best self. only for His sake. Hopefully by the end of Ramadhan, we can say that we're coming close to satisfaction. 

And indeed He knows best.
