Sana sini ...

I have a VERY strong feeling that result will be significantly different, but tadaaaaa

Almost 100% the same!! I just cannot believe myself 

"They may be reluctant to take action until they have confidence that they will not fail, if they cannot be sure, they often do not try"

I'm still the old me, hoping for new hopes, new smiles =)

Barangkali ilham itu,

Turut mati bersama rasa,

Yang sedang mekar,

Membunga di lubuk hati.

Lalu bersunyi,

Berilham di ruang fikir,

Tak tertumpah ke lembar kertas,

Lantaran pena kering tak berdakwat.

Cinta

Cinta Allah mendahului cinta kerana Allah. 

Bila hanya Dia di dalam hati, 

tidak layak takut dan dukacita menguasai diri.

Cinta, kasih dan sayang,

Semuanya tentang rasa,

Dan tempatnya di hati,

Soalnya, siapa yang ada dalam hatimu?

Kalau benar cinta,

Cintu itu dambakan pertemuan,

Lalu tanya sama hati itu,

Sudahkah bersedia untuk mati?

Kerana hanya selepas itu dapat bertemu,

Andai cinta itu benar,

Cinta kepada Allah dan Rasul.

Allah itu punya banyak cara menegur kita,

Adakala jelas depan mata,

Adakala terlalu halus dan tersirat,

Perlu masa muhasabah utk memahaminya.

Tegurannya kerana sayang,

Tapi pendosa seperti aku,

Adakala tewas dalam kedunguan,

Untuk mengenal cinta Tuhan.

Kenangan mengusik jiwa

Ni adalah isu basi, tp tak kisahlah... 

After all, graduation is just the beginning of another phase of life.

Biarkan memori indah itu berlegar diruang ingatan. Mengukir senyum di hujung bibir.

*Farha*

Dari kelas tingkatan 1.3, kemudian kelas tingkatan 2-5 jannatul firdaus, kemudian sama-sama A-level di UCSI. Jodoh mungkin, bumi Nottingham menyambut kami sebagai pelajar farmasi. And that day, 10th of July 2013 marked our 11 years of friendship. Alhadulillah thumma alhamdulillah.

*Me, Iman, Farha dan Amerlia*

Dunkirk menyaksikan, ahli bait Nur Kasih menghuni di City Road kemudiannya ke Ednaston Road bersama ahi bait yg baru, Dr. Iman =)

*Yasmin, Madihah, Amerlia, Mardhiah, Me, Izzah, Farha, Farah, Yuni, Iman, Kinah, Mira, Wani and Su*

Apalah makna kenangan manis mengusik jiwa, tanpa kehadiran sahabat-sahabat serta adik-adik yang mewarnai episod sebuah perjalanan di medan ilmu.

Jangan diucap selamat tinggal, tapi ucaplah moga bersua lagi, Jika tidak di bumi ini, moga bertemu di SyurgaNya nanti. 

Forgive

Picture from Zaim Salim

Someone asked me

We can give forgiveness but not easily forget. How??

I couldn't think of any good answer, but i guess

May be it is Allah's beautiful way to remind us not to do the same thing to other people. May be that's how Allah keep us closer to Him through constant du'a for sabr. May be it's for us to reflect how sincere our forgiveness was... If only memory has its delete button heh =)

Have you ever feel empty?

Ada apa dengan roti?

Jobless for 7 months since graduation day, yeay~ (No??) As much as i'm happy spending time at home with family, the "dok menghabiskan beras je" kind of feeling keep haunting myself. Luckily i did few sales before bfg (plus some saving) enough to support the craving for shopping (haha) but yeah money isn't everything... How you spend your time is more important.

*I blame myself for all the wasted time..* Astaghfirullahal 'azim..

So... an attempt to occupy the free time with short course at kolej komuniti. Seriously short that it takes only a day or two to complete each course. Alhamdulillah, for the first time, i chose "kursus asas roti" by En. Rosdi.

As requested by a friend, recipe for basic dough bun :

• A
• 1 kg high protein flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 5 tbsp milk powder
• 185 g caster sugar
• B 
•  3 eggs
• 33 g instant yeast 
• 365 ml water
• 125 g butter

Method

1. Combine A together in a mixer for a few minutes (use dough hook only. Don't have appropriate mixer? Dun worry. Never underestimate the power of your hands. Its good, if you are thinking of activities for weight loss haha).
2. Add eggs one by one, followed by yeast (use lowest speed. High speed will heats up mixing bowl and this is not good for the dough).
3. Add water slowly until well mixed (about 5 mins).
4. Add butter and beat dough till dough has smooth surface. Check whether dough is fully developed by stretching a small lump into a thin layer without tearing. If it does not stretch well, beat dough further. Unfortunately, there is no fixed time how long it takes to get the right texture. I wish you best of luck =)



GOOD                                                  = (

5. Remove dough from mixer, continue beating with your hand for few minutes (lagi lama menguli lagi mantop roti insyaallah) then leave it in a big bowl or tray. Covered with damp cloth or simply use plastic cling roll. Let the dough proof in a warm place for 45 minutes or until double in size.
6. Remove the dough from the bowl and give a few light kneading to press out the gas in the dough. Divide into 32 portions (about 60 g each). Roll each dough into smooth rounds and leave it about 10 minutes. 

     7.  Filling/Topping

• Sweet buns : The filling is so easy peasy lemon squeezy. Take small portion of butter, shape them into round, roll it in sugar and there you go, the filling is ready. Flatten dough. Put the filling in the middle and wrap it up. Seal it nicely. Place onto a baking tray, leave it to rise till they double in size. Brush the top with an egg wash.

• Red bean buns : Use red bean paste as filling. Use your creativity to shape the buns. You can always ask Mr. Google or Miss YouTube for help. Place onto a baking tray, leave it to rise till they double in size. Brush the top with an egg wash. 

• Mexican coffee buns : Cream 120 g butter and 120 g sugar till light. Adds 3 eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then fold in 120g flour and 1tbs instant coffee flavour till well combined. Put in a piping bag and pipe all over the surface of the buns. 
• (If i'm not mistaken, this measurement is for 1 kg flour i.e 32 buns)

    8.  Bake in a pre-heated oven at 210c till golden brown for 12-15 minutes.

*Apologize for the scary looks. First timer kot what do you expect?*

Alhamdulillah, berkesempatan untuk menghadiri talk pengurusan kewangan by en Suzardi atau lebih mesra dengan gelaran pakdi (website beliau). Terpanggil untuk share sedikit apa yang pakdi sampaikan, moga bermanfaat. Secara ringkasnya, konsep yang dibawa ialah pengurusan harta melalui ibrah kisah Nabi Yusuf

Yusuf menjawab: "Hendaklah kamu menanam bersungguh-sungguh 7 tahun berturut-turut,
kemudian apa yang kamu ketam biarkanlah dia pada tangkai-tangkainya;
kecuali sedikit dari bahagian yang kamu jadikan untuk makan. [12:47]

Hendaklah kamu menanam bersungguh-sungguh tujuh tahun berturut-turut
Kata nak urus harta kan? so kena lah ada harta dulu baru boleh menguruskanya. 7 tahun petama selepas tamat belajar adalah masa kritikal untuk kita bekerja sungguh2. Buat yang terbaik dalam apa juga yang kita lakukan selagi tak melanggar syariat. Aim untuk sentiasa improve diri, naik pangkat etc.

kemudian apa yang kamu ketam biarkanlah dia pada tangkai-tangkainya

Bahasa mudahnya simpan duit atau menabunglah. Belajar untuk simpan dulu baru belanja rather than kalau ada duit lebih baru simpan. Duit adalah medium of exchange yang terdedah kepada risiko inflasi. Duit boleh disimpan dalam bentuk aset dan terdapat 3 jenis aset:

• aset tunai (simpanan di bank), 
• aset berkembang (e.g. tanah, perniagaan, pertanian, saham) dan 
• aset tak berkembang (logam e.g emas dan perak - nilainya pada sesuatu masa bergantung kepada berat).

kecuali sedikit dari bahagian yang kamu jadikan untuk makan.

Pendapatan - Simpanan = Baru belanja.

Zaman sekarang, kita terdedah dengan mindset bahawa berjaya itu adalah dengan memilik kereta mewah, rumah besar, majlis perkahwinan yang gah etc. Dare to be diffirent. Berbelanja mengikut kemampuan dan yang penting berbelanja dengan "concious mind". Check balik barang-barang yg kita beli, liabiliti atau aset?

Last but not least, few tips from pakdi

• Record every single transaction every day for at least 3 months. Review your cash flow, and do something!!
• Berbelanja dengan duit tunai. Set perbelanjaan mingguan dan withdraw duit once a week. Hiduplah dengan budget yg kita dah set walau terpaksa merana dipenghujung minggu hehe.. Its not easy but lets try our best insyaallah =)
• Kurangkan mengeteh - perbelanjaan picisan yang selalu terlepas pandang dan boleh dielakkan. Biasanya dlm rekod kewangan akan selalu masuk under lain2 sbb x dpt trace balik. 
• Kempen si hijau (RM5) untuk ajar diri menabung. Caranya setiap kali si hijau muncul, kene masuk tabung, tak boleh digunakan. Boleh upgrade kepada kempen si merah, si oren etc ikut suka hati. (Untuk lebih mencabar, dont forget point no 2. Even si hijau muncul, disimpan dan tak digunakan, its not an excuse to spend more than what you have set...) 
• Kalau kte nak mula melabur, pastikan kita pakai duit lebih sahaja. Maksudnya kewangan dah stabil. Jangan melabur selagi benda yang asas tak lepas.

Sekian catatan ringkas sy di tambah komen farah yg dipetik dr fb tapi belum minta izin beliau huhu... sorry ye farah. Semoga Allah beri rezeki lebih besar kpd kita supaya kita dpt mengeluarkan lebih bnyk zakat dan sedekah. Amin..

A letter

From Single Aiman To Married Aiman
[click to read more]

Be open to change. You’re not perfect. You don’t know everything. There’s always something new to learn. Something new to improve.

Find the good in people. Everyone has flaws; your wife has flaws and your kids have flaws. You have flaws. But choose to focus on the good and always mention the good, and seek to improve the not-so-good.

Can I have something like this for my wedding cake?
Dear future husband, please take note haha!!

Good bye 2013, welcome 2014..

Fuhh... Lama tak jengah blog ni. Hidup segan mati tak mahu.

Mencari waktu, beri ruang untuk diri, mencari rentak, mentajdid niat, menulis kerana Allah ... haha cliché habis... Tak mudah, tapi it has to start somewhere, sometime. What better time than now? May Allah ease everything insyaallah. Amin.. =D

Rindunya nak tengok world cup dgn Farha dan Amerlia di 20 City Road   

Good bye memories, welcome hopes...
