Congrats Sis! Years of hard work have paid-off!

What's more exciting and enjoying event after 5 years(1 year matrix+4years study in univ) struggling with the books, assignments and stay up every night? It's the C O N V O C A T I O N day! Years of hard work have paid-off and it's your time to enjoy the moment with them who have been and always be your main backbone of success; your parents!

So, millions of congrats to my dearly second sis, Siti Jalia or Kak Tie! I can only share this happy moment and cheer you from here! My sis already started her work as an Optometrist at Hanizah's Optometrist in Negeri Sembilan early June this year. And the company really pays her off handsomely! Just imagine, your job is only waiting for the customers to come in to the shop and every month, the RM2500 will be banked in to your account! A GOOD starting salary, isn't it? Optometrist is one of the professional jobs where the percentage of Malays and Bumiputeras involved are low as compare with the Chinese race. The disparity, I think, is mainly due to the lack of early-exposure to the children and teenagers. In my time, professions such as doctors, engineers and lawyers; these three jobs were being as the main discussion among my aunties and uncles and therefore they made other professions became unpopular!!!Nevertheless, among four of us, Kak Tie is the only one who ends up in the Health stream. The rest are in Engineering field.

As for my parents, their financial burden has been lifted up a bit. Alhamdulillah! I can feel how they feel right now! A bit relief and that's what we want them to feel! It's our turn now to pay-off what they have sacrificed though we know that the cost is priceless! 1 year more to wait before my 3rd sis will have her convo day and the following year will be my youngest sis's day! May Allah rewards our parents for their unstoppable efforts in bringing us up to be as a good and reliable human being! InsyaAllah!
Sis, good luck in your new career and new life!!! Be good to your customers okay!


A smiley face!

IQ Test....warming up the idle brain !!

IQ Test


Guys, you can also test your IQ level via this following website:

http://www.afreeiqtest.com


just for fun! (^_^)

Intelligence Interval Cognitive Designation
40 - 54 Severely challenged (Less than 1% of test takers)
55 - 69 Challenged (2.3% of test takers)
70 - 84 Below average
85 - 114 Average (68% of test takers)

145 - 159 Genius (Less than 1% of test takers)
160 - 175 Extraordinary genius

The above nuggets of info were politely grabbed from: http://www.iqtest.com/faq.html

Just a small reminder,one may say that cleverness is inherited or is gifted from GOD. That's quite true. However, I have different opinion. Doing exercise may help you to maintain your health. Likewise the brain, you also need to 'warming up' and then do 'some exercises' so that it can keep up with the pace. And as muslims/muslimahs, for each effort that we do, we leave it to ALLAH afterwards.
BTW, my hubby manage to get 136. Huhu shame on me! hehe...I bet u guys surely do better than me!hoho

Salmon Cheese Fry. Cubalaaah!Syedap!



Last week, me n my hubby went to Blings Market in Canary Wharf. We went there with Kak Yati n her husband, Amzari. We bought Salmon Fish (GBP10 each), prawns (1 box=GBP14), crabs (1kg=GBP6.50)and squids (ikg=GBP6.50). Yaa yaaaa, I noe I spent a lots as I am craving those seafoods!!! huuhuuu



So today, I decided to cook the Salmon fish. I searched over the internet to find the recipe and I managed to find one that was similar to ready-made fillet fish. Believe me, it took 2 hours and half for me to just finish these four fried salmon cheese! The recipe can be retreived at:

Cheese and Mushroom Sauce with Pasta and Daging Masak Pedas!


It has been almost a year since I first came to London. Within a few months, I have become more resilient towards all the hardships which I had to bear with during these periods. In fact, I am now more or less, able to counter-attack the very unpleasant things that may occur throughout my daily life. Moreover, my English is much better now as compare to my "early golden ages" and I have more confidence to speak English in public. Alhamdulillah. Indeed, "experience is a good teacher" but one had said that; "Learn experience from others may save you from doing the same,wrong mistakes, and avoiding from making wrong decisions".

Guys, I really dont want my Nu Na's Chronicle turns to Nu Na's Daily Recipe, but I cant help myself from taking pictures of my self-made cuisine. For today's lunch, I made Pasta with Cheese and Mushroom Sauce. It was easy to make and save your precious time as it was just took 'bout half an hour to complete. That is include the time for preparing the ingredients: grayting the cheese, frying the mushrooms and so forth. I once ate this when I was living with the Bruneian family but I havent got the chance to do it until today.


Just look at the texture. Yummy isn't it? (^_^) For pasta, I used Fussili while for making the cheese sauce, I used the Cheddar cheese,milk,butter and flour. As for the mushrooms, I used button mushrooms and cut each of it into four and then fried them with chopped garlic, salt and pepper using olive oil. It was my first try and the taste: should I say more?! Hehe.

Yesterday's dinner I made Daging Masak Pedas. Believe me, this was my first time I bought and eat beef here! Actually, I dont really eat beef and lamb that much. But, a few days before, I was kept thinking about the Daging Masak Pedas which was usually cooked by my mom during Hari Raya or special event(Owh,I miss my mom..sob sob sob). And so, I called my mom yesterday afternoon to confirm again regarding the ingredients and asked her any useful tips that could be applied during the making process.


The result: As you can see here. This is actually the leftover. I just took the picture today. And since I made the pasta for the lunch and decided not to cook the rice, so my hubby had eaten it with the pasta!Hurmmm...macam2!(^_^). For 1kg beef = 7GBP = 42MYR. Expensive kan? I dont know how much the beef price per kilogram in Msia. Anyone?!
