NO WORDS NECESSARY ... ;- D))

Sometimes the simplicity of a smile, a gesture, a touch, a thought, a prayer or just being there .... means the world for someone. For anyone. For me. For you. For us. And animals speak without saying a word ....

Connections are made with the heart ....

The quote says it all .... :-)))

The Most Wonderful Places To Be .... ;-))

So true isn't it? You don't have to be with someone physically yet you connect with that person where you are so far but that someone is so near. How comforting to know that someone is thinking of you. Someone is praying for your well-being and happiness. And how honoured it is to be in someone's heart then, now and forever.

Salam Ramadhan 1434H

Selamat datang ya Ramadhan - bulan yang disediakan untuk hambaNya. Semoga Ramadhan 1434H lebih bermakna daripada tahun lepas. Izinkan kami menjalaninya dengan sebaik yang kami mampu dengan kekuatan daripada Mu. Lagu nasyid ini amat bermakna. Raihan adalah kumpulan nasyid favourite ku dan Man Bai adalah seorang penyanyi yang mempunyai suara yang sedap. Ingat lagi lagu "Masih Aku Terasa" ketika beliau bersama kumpulan Gersang....  ;-))  ????

Ku mengharapkan Ramadhan

Kali ini penuh makna

Agar dapat kulalui

Dengan sempurna

Selangkah demi selangkah

Setahun sudah pun berlalu

Masa yang pantas berlalu

Hingga tak terasa ku berada

Di bulan Ramadhan semula .....

Selamat menjalankan ibadah puasa dengan sebaik yang kita mampu dengan kekuatan, kesabaran
dan ketabahan yang dianugerahkanNya.

Nasi Daging / Bukhari

I found this packet of spices at the supermarket. Since the guys liked to eat flavoured rice, I decided to try this with a little modification on my part due to listening how others cooked their version.

I added thinly sliced garlic, big onions, fresh, ripe tomato, one serai, ginger juice and the four spices (bunga lawang, bunga cengkih, buah pelaga and kulit kayu manis). I used beef that had already pre-cooked to tender. Planta margarine for oil instead of minyak sapi as it is not advisable for cholesterol. I liked to cook this as you eat this dry without gravy like dalca or curry or kurma. Thus, I added the air asam and salad of tomato+cucumber+lettuce with a squeeze of lemon. It was a success because the guys ate till the last morsel of the rice!!! :-DD))

Nasi bukhari/daging. the tender meat, salad and air asam as the side dish. Simple yet satisfying.
