Well, what did CQ see that she almost choked on her own laughter?

A lady driver enjoying her huge hiPPo yawns! ai yai yai ... Now that is soooo embarrassing!

Happy Weekend

Just Peanuts


A tour bus driver is driving a bus load of seniors down a highway when he is tapped on his shoulder by a little old lady. She offers him a handful of peanuts, which he gratefully munches.

After about 15 minutes, she taps his shoulder again and she hands him another handful of peanuts. She repeats this gesture about five more times.

When she is a about to hand him another batch again, he asks the little old lady; "Why don't you eat the peanuts yourself.

"We can't chew the because we've not teeth." she replied.

The puzzled driver asks again, "Why do you buy them then?

The old lady replied; " We just love the chocolate around them."

When two hearts meet

Rain or no rain, when you are getting married, nothing can stop you =)

Just hours ago, CQ attended the majlis persandingan of Wan Hashida and Syed Abdul Jabbar in Sengkurong. It was raining quite heavily but the wedding ceremony was such a joyful one for both the blissfully wedded couple and their families.

Syed Abdul Jabbar & Wan Hashida

Love is like a butterfly. Beautiful Wan Hashida chose lanky and handsome Syed Abdul Jabbar to be her soul mate.

Bagai pinang di-belah dua, where they met, CQ has no idea hehee. CQ wish both of you a very happy and prosperous life together. May you be blessed with many tots in tow heheee ...

Take the best of it!

If you don't have any objective in life, any cause could be one.

There is always one who suffers more than you do,
so you should be optimistic.

A man will continue to act like a child until his mother's death,
then he will age in a sudden.

When you love your enemy is when he feels of his emptiness.

If you have been betrayed from behind the scene,
then you should be proud because
you are the only one who is in front.

The soft words are more powerful than the naked truth.

We are all like the bright moon, we still have the darker side.

The eye which doesn't know the meaning of tears,
it doesn't know anything of value.

Don't challenge someone who has nothing to lose.

If the loser keeps his smile,
the winner will loose the thrill of victory.

The gift of gab is a proof of jealousy.

No benefit of a right without a left.

The panic from a catastrophe is another catastrophe.

The smile a famous word without letters.

Be cheerful when getting-out as when you are coming-in.

Don't be a critic to your wife's taste,
she is the one who selected you in the first place.

You can't chase worries flying over your head but
you can do preventing them from nesting in your head.

The impossible can never become possible.

Dive with the shark but beware not to be swallowed.

Elocution is an art so let listening be a similar art.

The demeanour will be thrilled in finding
out a mistake of his great rival.

Every minute of anger will get you one more year older.

We have nostalgia of the past because it is gone.
If it comes back we would hate it.

The one whose ambition is great, so is his worries.

People feel small in the presence of some of the great personality,
yet the greatest is the one who let all around him feel great as well.

Chase two birds at the same time and you will lose both.

The woman is half the society and
the one who educates the other half.

For every word there is a listener and
probably my words don't suit your ears.
So please don't accuse me of being ambiguous.

Better set your path with a smile than with a sword.

As more higher up one rises to as
more clouds and problems will surround him.

Don't argue with an ignorant,
for it will be hard for people to differentiate between you.

The failure in planning will lead to planning in failure.

The coward will find 36 solutions to his problems
but the one he will like most is fleeing.

Better being a cub in the family of lions
than being a king of ostriches.

If you listen to the telltale you will lose the friend.

Addicted!

It has been awhile since the last time CQ updated this humble blog hehee. Well, CQ has a new virtual pet name Maxine - yeah a cute little French cat on FB! lols and CQ has been soooo addicted playing with her.

Maxine likes to visit her friends and even unknown pets in the cafe hahahahaa ...yeah to make $. Most - infact majority of the pets have furnished their homes beautifully with rooms that even CQ's real life casa impian cannot match ... hahaaa

These virtual pets do dress to kill! A few would be going about 'naked' .. lols with just a pair of shoes or a headress. Some do dress up like - fictional or unimaginable characters from the past or into the future. For instance, there's one panda pet that has horns?? hahaha. Besides, the pets get to run in races or place bets at the stadium; buy their own food; go shopping at the furniture or DIY shops and walk about the neighbourhood to collect coins from trees - how awesome! lols - yeah CQ is so sakai =)


**********


On a serious note, CQ was sooo disturbed by the news on radio - yesterday - that a newly born baby was thrown away like some rubbish by the mother! How uncivilised and inhumane she was!

So as Not to add up anymore of her sins (God knows), why can't she just give the baby to the relevant welfare department or any civilised person, instead of placing her very own flesh and blood in a black plastic bag and dumped it?!!

Well, this is not something new to have happened - in this tragic sometimes almost magic awful beautiful world.

Lesung & Cobek

In the olden days or rather during veteran mothers' era - lols - it is not uncommon to see this handy non-electric kitchen tool - aka the twin - mortar and pestle in most households.

mortar and pestle aka batu lesung dan anaknya lols

Mortar is the bowl while pestle is the heavy stick. This tool set is made either from stone, wood, marble or even brass. It comes in different sizes and shapes.

A mortar and pestle act as your manual food processor and is used to crush or grind any type of food or ingredients like peppercorns or even mix-crush garlic, ginger and shallots. It may not be as smooth as when you are blender-ing or grinding them with food processor or electric grinder. The minimal crushed ingredients can give out some ummpphh aromas to your cooking.

Besides, you can also make sambal or paste using the mortar and pestle. It will taste totally different.

Cobek set

You are in control of the mortar and pestle. Be gentle but firm when grinding or crushing. Whatever you do, don't beat down or letting out your steam of anger on it.

Place the food in the mortar (bowl), then use some downward pressure over the food with the pestle (pounder) and turn it in a circular motion around the mortar. The pestle will catch the food and grind it.

It is so easy and you will get used to it pretty quickly. To keep the surface of the mortar smooth, do pound some grated coconut in it - before or after using.

Ikan Merah Masak Bali

CQ wants to share a simple dish that requires you to use the mortar and pestle set to grind the ingredients.

Pound 3 cloves of garlic and 2 seeded red chillies. Put aside. Sautee the mixture til fragrance and add 4 large chopped tomatoes and fry well. Five minutes later, add 2 tablespoons of tomato ketchup, season accordingly and stir well. Then add the fish - fried much earlier. Enjoy with hot rice =)

Kimchi's letter of acceptance to PTE Katok

When you keep saying you are busy, then you are never free. When you keep saying you have no time, then you will never have time. When you keep saying that you will do it tomorrow, then your tomorrow will or may never come. Therefore, you have to study and work hard today for your tomorrow's dreams!
