My weight and the fasting month

Is it considered cengkelat or cheating if you only weigh yourself at 4 pm during the fasting month? :-D. Kalau I weigh myself lepas iftar, sure bacaan tak betul kan sebab perut masa tu tengah kenyang from all the food. Kalau weigh myself in the morning pun sure tak betul sangat kan bacaan nya sebab the food from sahur. Hehehehe….. ;-).

I’ve decided to only weigh myself at 4 pm sebab masa ni my body’s lacking in fluid and my tummy is empty too so memang seronok sangat lah bila melihat the numbers that appear on the weighing scale. Dah lama I tak nampak that number materialising, memang seronok habis, hahahaha…. But I know I’m just deluding myself kan :-). Takpe, bagi lah chance I perasan dah slim balik macam dulu2, hahahaha….

Pagi tadi at 10.30, Miss 6 sibuk mengadu perut dia lapar sangat2 and rasa nak makan sangat2. Padahal dia bangun sahur. I was like, “it’s only 10.30 in the morning. I think it’s because you are not doing anything, that’s why you think of food all the time.” I suruh dia occupy her time with playing, baru lah lepas tu dia tak mengadu lagi and dapat puasa sampai habis waktu :-). I guess bila weekend duduk rumah aje, so asik terpandang dapur aje lah and all the food associated with kitchen kan, tu yang asik lapar aje.

Ini muka budak yang asik mengadu lapar pagi tadi, hehehe…. Kalau weekend and tak keluar rumah, The Little Misses memang takkan mandi until dah nak maghrib macam tu. Lagilah masa tengah Winter sekarang ni :-). Tu yang serabai aje muka and rambut.

And since tak keluar rumah langsung hari ni apart from The Other Half pergi voting pagi tadi, I pun try lah my hand at making roti canai :-). I ingat nak buat roti jala and kari ayam but The Other Half tak minat sangat nak makan roti jala for dinner so dia mintak roti canai. Dah dia mintak roti canai, I pun terus tak jadi lah nak buat roti jala, tukar arah jadi roti canai pulak.

Speaking of voting ni, hari ni Australia has its Federal Election. And The Other Half kan OZ citizen so kenalah dia gi vote. So, dia bawak lah the other OZ citizen in this house i.e. Miss 6 to the polling booth :-). Ye lah, kena lah kenalkan dia to the polling booth from young kan, so bila dia besar nanti, tak lah jakun sangat. It is quite funny that everytime The Other Half votes for his chosen party, mesti the opposite party yang akan win that seat. It has happened a few times lah. So, tu yang I said to him that if he wants his favourite party to win, he has to vote for the opposite party! It is quite fun watching the vote counting on tv now.

Semalam I made apam gula melaka Che’iza, recipe dia kat sini ye. And I buat 1 loyang so banyak lah yang lebih lagi. Kat dalam fridge tu, masih ada lagi a bit of tepung pelita left, a bit of kuih lapis left and some more apam gula melaka. I think I should stop making any more kuih for the next few days kan until all the kuih’s finished. Since kuih manis masih banyak lagi, I cuma buat savoury kuih aje lah tadi. I made sardin roll for us biggies and sausage bread roll for the kiddies.

I thought The Other Half tak minat sardine roll ni, rupa2nya dia cakap sedap! Habis my bahagian pun dia bantai jugak! hehehe…

And for dinner, we all makan home-made roti canai (yang Mummy tiba2 tersangat lah rajinnya nak buat, hahaha) with dhal curry and chicken curry.

Ini my plate. I buat special roti telur untuk I, orang lain dapat roti kosong aje, the cook dapat roti telur, hehehe. I guna recipe roti canai Joayee from Myresipi jugak. I memang tak pandai tebar so I pakay tray bulat aje and tarik perlahan2 :-). Jadi lah untuk makan sendiri kan! Macam mana nak kekalkan that magical numbers on the weighing scale tu kan if makan banyak masa buka puasa, hehehe…..

Dinas,
I slalu beli roti paratha instant tu aje kat sini but tadi teringin pulak nak makan roti canai. Tu yg gigih jugak membuatnya!
Psst...sejak pakai wide-toothed comb on her hair kan, dah tak serabai sgt pagi2 masa bangun tidur :-)

Julie,
Hehehe...for us, sedaplah roti canai dia ni tp sbb I tak pandai tebar sgt, dia tak senipis kat kedai lah. Sanggup you buat malam2 ye! :-)

Anna,
wakakaka...kalau timbang masa kul 4, I akan gumbira riang ria di hati sbb tengok all the nombor2 yg kecik2 tu. 1 kg tu banyak weh! Dari senyum jadi tak senyum, hahaha.
Kalau Mummy tak mandi sampai malam, I yg akan rasa rimas dulu :-D

Ica,
orang lain makin kurus masa puasa, Miss 6 makin chomel n chubby :-)

Hanizatul,
Uish, quite high jugak your BSL tu. I guess masa bulan puasa ni lah selera tekak nak makan mcm2 kan :-).

Jaja,
Mamak kat kedai tu kan sure gelak goleng2 tengok I tarik pelan2 roti canai tu, hehehe

An,
first time hung parliament since 1943, tak tau lah mcm mana lepas ni.
Nanti I pindah, memang tak berbau lah you sbb lagi jauh, hehehe

FairyLilly,
I terpaksa buat 2 kari sbb Mamak2 kat rumah ni selera lain2, hahaha. Kari ayam kena pedas so mana lah mamak2 kecik tu nak makan kan, tu yg kena buat dhal :-).
My hubby pun semlm voted for Tony jugak tp skrg ni dah hung parliament, tak tau mcm mana lepas ni kan!

Akeem,
alah, 8 keping tu sikit aje, hehehe. Kuah durian tu sape lah agaknya yg mengidam nak makan? Ros cuma boleh tengok aje lah ye, hehehe

Nanak,
tu yg semalam dia lapar aje sbb tak buat apa2. But once dia dah start main, terus lupa pasal lapar :-)

Kak Ain,
I semalam terlebih rajin, tu yg menguli roti canai bagai :-). Sebab baru aje 10 hari puasa tp I dah pening, tak tau nak masak apa :-)

MamaFami,
I bangun sahur pagi2 tu kan, rupa serabai habis, hahaha....
Terer lah you sbb pandai menebar. I wish I can menebar jugak, baru lah sedap and nipis and macam kedai roti canai I tu :-).

Blu4sky,
Best sgt2 kan bila menimbang berat sebelum Iftar ni sbb memang boleh live in denial forever, hahahaha

Noir,
Those rolls sudah habis but the kuih I'll be recycling them again today, hahaha

Zack,
Ramai women candidates but the big one is Julia Gillard lah for the PM job :-)

Shiori,
I uli roti canai tu yg first uli, guna BM aje. I guna cycle utk 'pasta' so uli dia around 14 minutes. Lepas tu, I uli pakai tangan sbb cuma uli sekejap2 aje. Nak kena rest in between uli tu yg lama, uli cuma about 3 minutes aje.

Nanti you balik M'sia, bolehlah malam2 supper kat kedai Mamak lepas penat siang tu melantak jamuan raya! :-)
