The Magical Aidilfitri 2012...

Back to raya story...after finished with Ramadhan...comes Aidilfitri...2012...aku dah umuq 30 tahun...hari raya yang ke-30 bagi aku la tuh...hahaha...a lot of things happen during this Aidilfitri...or en route to Aidilfitri...cam biasa...highway memang jem planta skaya...hamik ko...bertolak 2.30 pagi dari Rawang...sampai Ipoh 4.50 pagi...giler haper...nak gi sahur sepanjang jalan dari gopeng ke medan gopeng abis semua makanan abis...aku dengan si mimie blasah makan KFC ajer ler in the end...sambung balik...sampai Aloq Staq pukul 12 tengah hari...sebab buat pitstop kat Sungai Perak nak Subuh and rehat jap...perghhh...penattttt...

Tahun ni selepas bertahun tahun lamanya...akhirnya beli la jugak sofa baru...wachaaa...hahaha...giler arrr...i think we never bought new sofa set ever since 10 years ago...or more...so blasah gak ler beli sofa baru...tahun ni gak...abang aku tak raya kat aloq staq sebab kak ipaq baru lepas bersalin...so diorang raya kat ipoh...kak na tak sempat nak balik raya sebab masalah nak buat passport...tapi dia akan balik waktu mimie punya wedding in October...so we end up skype with Kak Na as we had done before...

This year is a bit interesting...because...kitorang memang berjalan ajer untuk raya...first day of raya biasa lah...gi rumah dekat dekat Aloq Staq...then the second day blasah terus gi Sungai Petani and Pekan Darat...pastu raya ketiga...terusss shoot ke Penang...then straightaway to Ipoh...biasa la...abah pon tak pernah jumpa Arissa lagi...so we all just go ahead and spend the rest of raya in Ipoh...while in Ipoh we also went to our old neighbours' house and Pak Su's...

Pastu aku plak melayan la telatah anak buah aku si Aishah dengan Adam...skype with Kak Na...and every nite in Ipoh we had bbq session...giloss ke haper...blasahhhh...then classmate aku waktu skolah dulu pon mai waktu the final nite before i went back to Putrajaya...

This year mark's Mimie's final year as bachelor...he will be getting married in October...insya Allah...anything can happen kan...its the magic of Aidilfitri...it always bring such joy to everyone who celebrates it...I pray and hope for health to be able to meet the next Ramadhan and next Syawal...we can only pray...insya Allah...

So...Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri...Maaf Zahir dan Batin...

Jalan TAR...5th Year...

This entry is a bit out dated...dah abis posa dah raya dah pon...tapi biasa la...busy...tak sempat nak update ape ape pon...huhuhu...

Its some sort of an annual thingie for the past 5 years...daripada tahun 2007...tetiap tahun mesti gi Jalan TAR...tapi orang aje berubah...yang kekal just Zaimee and I...walaupun status dia dah berubah...dari bujang...ke laki orang...ke bapak orang...hehehe...but it is still great to just go ahead and do it...

Kali ni...other than Zaimee and I...the rest of the flock was Aida...Pa'an...Mimie...Amry...and not to be forgotten Hafez...same as the years before...aku gi nak cari something...this time around its 2 samping...nice...

This year also marks Aida and Mimie's final year as bachelor...dah nak kawin itu dua orang...ntah tahun depan still going to be the same or not...ataupun mengangkot pasangan masing masing...eh...lupa lak...si aida angkut hafez mai...hahaha...

Whatever it is...it was a great nite out...an annual thingie...hopefully this is one thing that can be carry out for the years to come...not sure who will be in the flock...but one thing for sure...Zaimee and I sure will be...hehehe...

Ramadhan...Buffet...And What My Tastebud Tells Me...

Ramadhan...buffet...memang sangat tempting...and akhirnya aku terjebak jua...walaupun pada awalnya taknak dah gi buffet buffet nieh...tapi nak buat camna...aku memang jenis yang kuat makan...nak jugak gatai pi makan buffet...overall for this year still considerable compared to last year and the previous year...sedaq tak sedaq banyak gak ler aku gi...here are the food joints that i had been to for their respective buffet...

Chicken Hartz, Sunway Pyramid - RM25.50 per person

Partners in crime waktu time ni ialah Jaja moi travelmate...Tinie akak sabah jepang...Pa'an abang jaypeeyay jepang...kitorang gi waktu awal bulan posa...blasah saja...the place is quite simple...tapi hidangan dia boleh tahan...for the price that we are paying...not only restricted to chickens...dia ada la jugak pasta...then ayaq pelbagai jenis...cocktail buah buahan...ada simple desserts and cookies...nasi campuq pon ada...quite reasonable...

Putrajaya Lake Club, Putrajaya - RM50++ per person

Ni pergi dengan division-mate sempena PA boss aku nak posting gi Brussels...the spread is quite good...ada nasi campur and all...pastu ada dua jenis pasta...then ada sup...ada pelbagai jenis nyonya kuih...and desserts...on top of that...ada plak kambing panggang...ermmm...aku tak makan kambing...pastu roasted chicken dengan makanan plastik (bagi aku makanan plastik adalah hotdog...nuggets...fillet etc)...pastu ada kaunter mee kari and laksa...popia basah lagi...rojak lagi...then kaunter koteow kerang dengan nasi ayam...quite a good spread...tempat sembahyang dia pon selesa...quite comfortable la indeed...

Concorde Inn KLIA, Sepang - RM55++ per person

This is the only buffet that i had never missed out for the last 5 years in Putrajaya...the foodies this time around are my officemates and medcham with fara...memang la nak kena drive agak jauh ke KLIA nun...but it was worth every single cents that i paid for...the spread was enormous...japanese ada...indian style ada...pasta ada...nasi campur pon ada...then dia punya dessert memang terbayek...all those cheese cakes...and those soup...puddings...ayaq pon pelbagai jenis...siap ada aiskrim lagi...itu baru kat dalam...kat luaq tu plak...ada roasted chicken lah...kambing lah...sate lah...murtabak lagi dengan roti bom...kaunter untuk mee dengan koteow goreng...pastu gulai pelbagai jenis berkawah kawah...ais kacang dan tidak ketinggalan cakoi dengan popia...banyak la yang aku tak sebut...tapi this is indeed my must-go every year...tempat sembahyang dia pon dekat ajer dengan tempat makan...tak sampai 20 meter pon aku rasa...memang very near...they have steadily increased their price...not too drastic...dalam RM5 increase compared to last year...very satisfied...

Felda Villa, Kuala Lumpur - RM50 per person

Kawan belanja...apa lagi...takde hal la...sanggup aku drive ke KL after work...surprisingly there's no traffic jam at all...on the other side of the road...yess...tapi nak masuk KL...tidak...gi dengan Zaimee...Herman...Aki...Rizal...pastu ada la beberapa orang yang aku tak kenal...this one is on Aki...tengkiut laaaa...suka sangat aku makan makan free nieh...lets talk about the spread...ini lagi dasat...banyak sangat choice...sampai tak terkira...ada kaunter grilled and goreng goreng...pastu ada stimbot lagi...then laksa mee kari segala...then the nasi campuq...kambing golek...walaupun aku tak makan tapi it still a good sight to behold...pelbagai jenis bubuq...perghhhh...memang senak la perut...kena memilih apa yang nak makan...sebab memang tak mampu nak makan semua...surau dia pon sangat comfortable...dan walking distance saja...walaupun kalau kena bayaq sendiri...still aku rasa sangat berbaloi for the price they charge...

Gardens Alamanda, Putrajaya - RM33++ per person

Makan dengan geng jepang Aida Misran from Malaysia...Tinie akak sabah jepang...Pa'an abang jaypeeyay jepang...Jaja moi travelmate...spread dia alahai...satu meja ajer...very limited...ermmm...senang cakap...ermmm...aku taknak repeat dah ler dia punya buffet kot...makanan dia sedap...but limited sangat in term of choice...tak kena pada harga...ini pon dapat harga sebab kunun early bird...kalau bukan burung awal kena RM39++...aishhh...mebi i'll skip this one...

Bowling Alamanda, Putrajaya - RM40 per person

Gi dengan adik aku and ayu...memula not in the list pon...sebab ingat nak makan kat fudkod ajer...tapi semua tempat penuh weih...and it was only 6.30pm...dah takder tempat...so terus blasah ajer ler kat itu bowling sebab katanya ada spot lagi...apa lagi...blasah...makanan dia memang totally malay food...taste quite nice...the spread was not enormous but for certain part i think its better than taman tuh lah...aku ingat lagi...dulu waktu tahun 2008 harga dia RM25 seorang...after 4 years jadi RM40...RM15 increase in 4 years...okay la...boleh terima...dia punya surau sedikit leceh sebab nak kena amik ayaq semayang kat dalam toilet...and pastikan terus sembahyang lepas buka posa then baru sambung makan...kalau tak nanti jenuh la nak menunggu orang kat toilet tu...i've been here before years ago and this year...ada la improvement skit...and sebab rasa dia pon aku boleh terima...so acceptable lah...

Cyberview, Cyberjaya - RM75++ per person

Ni pergi dengan orang yang aku jumpa setahun sekali...bulehhhh...itu pun waktu buffet ramadhan sajaaaa...Cik Dayat dengan Kak Zaida...its on Cik Dayat...kununnya belated besday dinner aku...hahahah...dah nak dekat dua bulan dah besday aku...blasah saja...hehehee...the place is really nice weih...the atmosphere...the spread...wayyyy nice...i won't mind coming again la for sure...tapi sebab price dia tu agak steep bagi aku...so tak tau ler kot Cik Dayat nak blanja lagi tahun depan...tahun depan lagi le dekat dengan besday aku...hahaha...bleh consider lagi...surau dia plak kena menapak jauh gak dari tempat makan...but comfortable enough...all in all...would love to come again but not paid by myself...hahaha...buleh???

Golden Palm Tree Resort, Sepang Gold Coast - RM50 per person

Its the early bird promo...RM50...pastu increased to RM85...aku pon blasah ajak Aneurin dengan Jaja...in term of atmosphere...memang nais...tapi perjalanan dari Putrajaya tuh...demmm...jauh giler weih...imagine two times the distance to go to KLIA...or more...but it was worth the journey...the atmosphere is seriously luxurious...the spread is quite okay...but i prefer the first time i went in 2010...it was wayyyy better...surau dia pon guna surau yang memang khas surau...not converted function rooms like most hotels did...but for the price that we were paying...i don't mind going again...hopefully next year ada lagi la early bird RM50...berbaloi sangat...kecuali perjalanan jauh yang sangat dirasa itu...

Makan banyak gak tahun nieh...other than the buffets...all of my iftar took place with my friends in various parts of Putrajaya and Kuala Lumpur...this is one of the memorable moments that can't be bought...how we get bonded through our iftar sessions and all...and its going to end in another week to go before Syawal...dan aku senantiasa berdoa semoga kami semua dapat bertemu lagi Ramadhan akan datang dan bersama buat kenangan...mebi bukan yang terindah...but it will always be a memorable ones...

Memorable Iftar 2012

Alhamdulillah...live to see another Ramadhan...setiapkali datang Ramadhan...tetiba la silaturahim makin erat sesama kengkawan...sebab dok berbuka posa sesama...this year also i have managed to scale down my buffet temptations...so far cuma pergi 6 sahaja buffet Ramadhan namely Chicken Hertz (betoi ka aku eja nieh)...Lake Club Putrajaya (sebab selebret PA Boss aku posting gi Brussels)...Concorde Inn KLIA (wajib pi tetiap tahun sebab berbaloi sangatttt)...Golden Palm Tree Resort Sepang...Gardens Alamanda (rasa cam tak berbaloi sebab hidangan dia sangat limited) and most recently Cyberview Cyberjaya...

The rest of the days are spent with friends makan kat pelbagai tempat...and this also happens to be one of the most memorable buka posa ever...makan kat parking lot office sebab gatai pi bazaar Ramadhan pukul 6.45 petang...balik tu dah azan dalam keta...bulehhhh...terussss...parking keta kat opis...buka posa reramai...hahahah...kelassss kan...sengal sangat rasanya...

Kesengalan juga bertambah apabila pi beli makanan kat bazaar Ramadhan...tapi gatai nak pi buka posa kat Alamanda...tapi semua tempat full house...gi ler Dome...beli ayaq kopi...pastu sesambil tu makan ler benda ringan ringan yang beli kat bazaar tuh...malu gak weih...tapi hentam sajalah...

Pastu tahun ni plak berbeza skit...ada pengalaman baru...pi buka posa peepeeteedee for the first time ever since entered the service almost 5 years ago...then joined buka posa kat opis baru...kebetulan plak warna baju aku time tu matching theme kaler...sejibik cam kaler alas kerusi hokey...hebat kannnn...hahaha...

Ramadhan tahun ni pon sambut lagi kedatangan anak buah baru...Arissa Imanina Adzim...alhamdulillah...bertambah ahli keluarga...siap aku beli besday kek lah...tapi anak buah tak cukup umuq nak makan...so we ate the cake on her behalf...unlike previous year...i fly back to aloq staq almost every week...this year aku cuma balik untuk the first day of posa saja...pastu third week balik ipoh sebab nak tengok anak sedara baru...kiutnyaaaaa...

Then to add to the heat...tahun ni ada olimpik...pi buka posa kat rumah ina sambil tengok DLCW lawan final...wahhhhh...nak tercekik la makan sambil tengok game...tapi walaupun DLCW kalah...tetap kalah bergaya...fight till the end...salute...

Bulan posa ni jugak ada la tetiba promo yang tak dijangka...stabak buat bai wan fri wan...of koz i wan la...bratuq la aku cam orang tak pernah minum stabak sebab dapat bai wan fri wan...and ada la plak BR bagi aiskrim free sebab DLCW menang pingat perak olimpik...tu diaaaaaaaaa...bratuq panjang weih...tapi aku takder ler nak bratuq...tak tahannnnn...

Aku memang sangat suka bulan Ramadhan...dan aku berdoa semoga Allah panjangkan umur kami semua semoga boleh bertemu lagi pada Ramadhan akan datang...dan hopefully...pada Ramadhan akan datang...aku dah berstatus lain plak...hehehe...amin...
