Hari-hari Terakhir Seekor Ayam Bernama Merah

As some of you might have known, our favourite home pet Merah has been missing for many weeks already, and unlike before, this time he is gone for good, and we have assumed he has rested in peace.

We will miss your crowing, your daily fights with Edot and pecking on the main entrance glass door.

Here is a slide of the last photos of Merah taken during Hari Raya :

A Point To Ponder

2008-07-24T01:08:00.002+08:00

As the moderator & owner of this blog, I am quite disturbed with recent postings made on the chatbox recently. Anyone is welcome to read, to comment properly on this blog. Inda kira keluarga, saudara mara atau sahabat handai, atau strangers sekalipun.

However, in case anybody hasn't realised, tujuan utama blog ani ialah untuk mengeratkan tali silaturrahim sesama kitani, dan sekali-kali bukan untuk mengeruhkan situasi, memburukan orang, atau bersangka inda baik arah orang lain.

Please remember, as the owner, I have the privilege of recording & tracking all IP addresses from anyone visiting this blog, and I can easily ban anybody with just a simple click! So, whatever Identity you use, I know where you are from, and I know if you are the same person or not. So please be careful of what you write & comment, jangan sampai menyakitkan hati orang lain.

Ini telah ditegaskan di dalam al-Quran dan hadith-hadith Nabi sallallahu ‘alaihi wa-sallam sebagaimana firman Allah:

يَا اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ آمَنُوْا اجْتَنِبُوْا كَثِيْرًا مِنَ الظَّنِّ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَلاَ تَجَسَّسُوْا وَلاَيَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا اَيُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ يَاْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخِيْهِ مَيِّتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوْهُ وَاتَّقُوْا اللهَ اِنَّ اللهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيْمٌ

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman! Jauhilah kebanyakan dari prasangka, sesungguhnya sebahagian dari prasangka itu adalah dosa, dan janganlah kamu mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain dan janganlah sebahagian kamu mengumpat sebahagian yang lain. Sukakah salah seorang di antara kamu memakan daging saudaranya yang sudah mati? Maka tentulah kamu merasa jijik kepadanya. Dan bertakwalah kamu kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Penerima taubat lagi Maha Penyayang". AL-HUJURAAT, 49:12.

Jadi, harap fikirkan lah & renungkan lah. Think before you say.

Clarification On Recent Event

2008-07-23T23:45:00.003+08:00

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh

Dear Cousin whoever you are (inda jua payah bersembunyi nama)

First of all, please jangan tah ambil hati pasal majlis pernikahan cBibi baru-baru ani. It is something unexpected and setelah bermuzakarah sekeluarga, andang dipikirkan majlis tersebut elok untuk dibuat secara kecil-kecilan saja. Please understand kitani ani bekeluarga bedangsanak bukan sedikit. Jadi kan memanggil ramai-ramai pun, mungkin banyak perbelanjaan, inda jua kitani sampai hati kan membebani cBibi dan keluarga pengantin perempuan atu. Budget bisdiorang pun ala kadar saja, atu pun diorang betanya arah kami awal-awal berapa ramai rombongan pengantin lelaki.

Sufri ani biskita pun tau keadaannya, anak yatim piatu, so please please please, harap jangan ambil hati, dan jangan tah diperbesarkan perkara ani. Yang penting kitani telah menyelesaikan tugas dan tanggungjawab untuk mengijabkabulkan pasangan tersebut. Nobody has done anything wrong, and nobody yang membelakangkan sesiapa. Orang jauh-jauh atu pun Nini-nini Sufri jua ganya, iatah ganya dangsanaknya yang paling dekat tu. Rombongan kesana atu pun dapat dikira ramainya.

Mudahan ani dapat memperjelaskan sesiapa yang inda berapa jelas tentang majlis tersebut. Jika ingin mendapatkan maklumat selanjutnya, sila tah datang kerumah sahaja. Dapat jua minum kopi sama-sama.

Alhamdulillah majlis tersebut selamat sempurna berjalan dengan lancar, dan terima kasih jua biskita rajin melawat blog ani. Inda jua disangka-sangka ada pembaca setia :)

Majlis Pernikahahan

2008-07-11T20:50:00.004+08:00

Alhamdulillah, Majlis Pernikahan bagi Md Sufri dan Juliana telah selamat sempurna dilangsungkan pada hari ini Jumaat 11hb Julai 2008 jam 3.00 petang. Rombongan pengantin lelaki telah mula beredar dari Rumah Gadong pada jam 2.30 petang dalam keadaan hujan lebat sehingga Mamoi pun terlupa untuk menyinggahi Puan Hjh Rosnie di Kg Katok. Kesian sungguh wanita itu. Namun demikian beliau pasrah akan ketentuan Illahi ini.

Berikut beberapa gambar yang sempat dirakam pada majlis tersebut.

Atas permintaan ramai terutama dari jelitawan yang mengakun jelitawan tanpa segan silu, ini juga beberapa cebisan potret mereka yang tak sepertinya :

It is now RED

2008-06-17T22:00:00.009+08:00

Due to technical difficulties, the Raya colour theme for 2008 has now officially been changed to RED. Setelah bertungkus lumus mencari bentuk corak kain yang sesuai dan menarik, adalah ini diumumkan bahawa awda akan mendapati bahan tersebut teramatlah susah untuk dicari di negara ini! Hehehehe!

Sayugia dimaklumkan bahawa bagi memberi kemudahan untuk semua pihak, pihak jawatankuasa tertinggi telah membuat kelonggaran dan menukar warna dari Maroon kepada Merah.

Sekian harap maklum.

Jangan suspen ah. But there is a newcomer in the family! Walaupun lambat almost sebulan kan keluar, but finally it is out! Kira official date is 1st June 2008. Here are the existing ones at Rumah Gadong :

This is the newcomer! If you look closely, you might know what it is on :

White & Green

2008-05-28T22:12:00.000+08:00

Few nights ago, BuTimah and myself decided to make some agar-agar, following a recipe from a book which I bought from Miri. It was quite simple to make. We didn't actually follow the recipe, just using pudding and jelly powder packets instead.

Cooking is similar to chemistry experiment. We are actually mixing chemicals, by applying heat, removing heat, setting substances to cool ... sounds familiar, doesn't it? Just like your school chemistry classes!

Anyhow, as mentioned before, this is also an experiment. Just wanting to see how it turned out, despite not following the actual recipe. It was discovered that : 1. need a deeper pan 2. not to use pudding packets, too soft (ngalih membuka the cut-outs!)

But overall, the taste is good. It was a succesful trial. Kids will definitely love it! Here's the slideshow :

Have You Lost Your ...... Dentures?

2008-04-27T15:06:00.003+08:00

Hari ini dalam sejarah. Mamoi was supposed to go to an engagement function with Pamit & Tua, and sudah tah salah jam, she thought it was 3pm, but actually starts at 2.30pm, iatah ia begagas bebaju. And that's when she realised she lost her precious, one and only GIGI! Yeah, she lost her dentures (gigi palsu)!

So, everybody in the house sibuk mencari around the house, turn every stone, chair & table! Sampai ia kan inda jadi bejalan because she would be too embarrassed to smile! Hehehehe!

Anyhow, thanks to Faridah, at last kenapatan dibawah sofa bed nya in her own room. Mesti tepelanting masa ia mengisis tualanya. Anyhow, now she can laugh out loud!

Timbul Tenggelam & Maroon

2008-04-19T07:45:00.004+08:00

Setelah sekian lama hilang nada berita, blog ani kembali bernafas, hehe.

Anyway, this is only to announce the chosen colour for this year Hari Raya First Day clothings!

MAROON or its variant dark red, warna yang sebangsa, sejenis & sewaktu dengan nya. Any kind of shades of Maroon will do. Bukan Maroon 5 ah!

FYI, the year before was Silver/Grey, the year before that was Brown I think.

Thank you. Agatah mencari kain, good luck!

2007-12-16T16:29:00.000+08:00

Lihatlah betapa sukahatinya dia bermain-main dalam video ini. Untuk pengetahuan bersama, kucing ini adalah milik Edot.

Video : Banjir 10.12.2007

2007-12-11T16:20:00.000+08:00

Pada malam Isnin 10hb Disember 2007 yang lalu, banjir besar telah melanda rumah Gadong, dan beberapa kawasan sekitar BSB dan Daerah Brunei Muara, disebabkan oleh hujan yang sangat lebat dan air pasang.

Baik jua sempat menyelamatkan kebanyakan barang-barang berharga, dan Nini pun terpaksa diangkat keatas untuk tidur malam atu, kerana dibawah semuanya basah. Air hanya surut pada sekitar pukul 1 atau 2 pagi, ngalih menimba dan menyapu air keluar hingga ke Subuh.

Liat saja tia video atu, Pamit mencari makan kerana kelaparan, dan belurih lauk goreng.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri 2007

Sorry for not updating the blog for over a month. Sibuk puasa bah, hehe.

Anyway, Raya is finally here, so I would like to wish everybody a very Happy Hari Raya!

Hectic first day Raya at home as usual, it happens every single year. Non-stop visitors from morning till evening. Taken some pictures (more like 200 pictures from my camera alone!), and I have put them up in the Web Album, so check them out.

Selamat Hari Raya Aidil Fitri Maaf Zahir dan Batin!

Majlis Menghantar Tanda

2007-09-07T19:53:00.000+08:00

It has been a while since I posted anything here, and I just noticed that there were no postings in August! Sorry guys, but I really appreciate if any one of you in the family circle who could help me in this matter.

Anyway, the latest happening was Majlis Menghantar Tanda for Ijul. Our reporter, my own very self, reports :) :

Pada petang hari Jumaat 7hb September 2007 bersamaan dengan 25hb Syaaban 1428 telah berlangsung majlis menghantar tanda bagi Mohd Azizul Amir dengan Era Suhana.

Alhamdulillah, majlis telah berjalan dengan lancarnya dengan sebuah bas rombongan lelaki menuju kerumah keluarga perempuan, lengkap dengan empat biji gangsa membawa cincin sebentuk, wang hantaran serta persalinan. Rombongan lelaki diketuai oleh Tuan Haji Samad Sidin.

I have created a new Web Album just for this occassion, sebagai tanda mula proses bagi perkahwinan Ijul & Era Insya-Allah. The address is :

picasaweb.google.com/ijulera

If you noticed, there were lots of photos taken yesterday. Pakal ganya battery habis! I only took photos masa awal-awal sampai the bus left. The rest were probably snapped by Dinie.

Move Over Maya Karin! Here are Edot & Aminah!

2007-07-28T21:02:00.000+08:00

With a little creativity, macam-macam boleh buat with a camera phone and LED torch light! See the ghostly effects in these snaps, hehehe!

Our Very Own Cover Model?

Pada malam sebelum majlis harijadi Enoi telah berlangsung satu acara mengelupis. Sila perhatikan rajah diatas bagi aksi-aksi pembuatan kueh tradisi tersebut. Kelupis ani boleh kosong, boleh jua simpan inti. Kalau kan mau nyaman, makan masa ia panas-panas.

Bagi membuat pesanan, sila hubungi Hjh Fatimah di rumah Gadong.

Sekian terima kasih.

Three Layer Tea

2007-06-23T23:38:00.001+08:00

Three Layer Tea, originally uploaded by gambar713.

This is a nice cold drink especially for summer! Careful to those who can't take milk though. Here are the things you need :

Gula melaka syrup (or brown sugar syrup)
Evaporated milk (naik harga sudah!)
Strong tea (preferably teh tarik stuff)
Lots of ice

How :
Get a nice tall glass, and fill it up with ice. Pour in the gula melaka syrup first (depending on how sweet you want it to be), and add an equal amount of milk. Lastly, pour in the tea slowly to get the layered effect.

Mix it well before you drink, unless you want to drink 3 different liquids! Hehehe! Have a go and enjoy your 3-Layer Tea!

House Warming for Acoi

2007-06-22T20:41:00.001+08:00

Acoi finally got a convenient place to stay. It's in Kiulap near RIPAS. We had Maghrib & Isya jemaah prayers last nite terus tahlil. Good to see families & relatives from both sides attending & warming up the new home. Good luck with the cleaning Acoi!

By the way, I took these panaromic photos using my phone. Quality just ok, but it gives a wide-screen view of what's happening.

Happy Birthday Mamit

2007-06-21T22:39:00.000+08:00

As mentioned earlier, it's Mamit's turn to celebrate her birthday on 20th June. The plan to surprise her didn't work, probably because it was already celebrated by her colleagues at work. Bangas kali sudah when she got home from work. Anyway, we enjoyed the Mango Cheese cake, it looked pretty and it tasted really good, lama sudah inda makan. Happy Birthday again Mamit!

Mari Makan

Happy 1st Anniversary

2007-06-16T01:03:00.000+08:00

I was browsing through the old postings and I discovered that this blog is already more than a year old! The first posting was uploaded on 3rd June 2006. Gosh, time really flies. I have about 48 postings (single-handedly done by myself, nada support eh!), atu pun kira kes malas!

Anyway, to the regular visitors & readers (you know who you are) thanks a lot. Keep reading & keep visiting, walaupun inda seberapa blog ani. As I said in the first posting, it's meant to be a way to keep in touch amongst family members, relatives & friends.

Will try to update the blog with new widgets soon! Thank you all!

Mencungkil Ambuyat

2007-06-02T08:17:00.001+08:00

This was last Thursday. An unplanned feast of Ambuyat and its condiments. In case anyone is curious, Ambuyat is a traditional Brunei delicacy (can also be found in Sabah & Sarawak). The Ambuyat is made from sago. To prepare it, freshly boiling water is added to ambulong (ambuyat in its powder form) and it would become a starchy substance. We usually use Candas (malay version of chopstick) to cungkil (pick) the Ambuyat, dip it in your favourite dip/sauce (usually something sweet & sour). It's an acquired taste, but once you like it, you will forever like it. The fun bit is to eat it with a group of people while it's hot!

Let's Play Together!

2007-06-02T08:13:00.000+08:00

Nasir, Afiq & sisters playing a new board game last Thursday at home while being watched by the neneks.

Another Birthday!

2007-05-12T07:28:00.000+08:00

Less than a week later (after Intan), it was Nasir's turn to have his birthday bash. Supposed to be a quick & simple celebration, tapi penuh jua meja with food! The nasi ayam was nice, to those outside Brunei, jangan teseliur ah, hehe, I was kind enough not to put up the snaps of the food we had that night. Jangan marrraaahhh!

Selamat Hari Jadi Intan

2007-05-12T07:22:00.000+08:00

The family celebrated Intan's birthday last Friday 4th May with a barbeque & steamboat at family home Gadong. You can see her big grin with all the presents she got. Happy 'Jazzy' Birthday Intan! Get your driving license soon, and belanja kami di Pizza Hut saja. A year older, a year healthier!

The Making of Seri Muka

2007-04-22T21:25:00.001+08:00

Seri Muka, originally uploaded by gambar713.

Do you know what Seri Muka is? It is a traditional Brunei / malay sweet delicacy. Seri Muka literally means The Glow of the Face.

This delicious kueh has two layers. The bottom layer is made from rice, cooked in coconut milk with pandan leaves to induce a wonderful aroma. The top part is made from rice flour mixed with coconut milk too, and would usually be added with green food colouring. This layer is sweet, while the lower rice layer has the distinctive 'lemak' taste.

The photo collage does not really show the proper sequence, but it gives a good idea on how this wonderful kueh is made. It would probably take 2-3 hours from preparation until it is fully cooked. The Seri Muka has to be steamed for about 45 minutes, and you have to wait for it to cool down for a while before you can savour it!

Enjoy the photos!

P.S. : Thanks to Bu Timah (NeMah) for being the model & cook!

Colourful Birthday for Siti Aminah

2007-01-27T08:07:00.000+08:00

The Rojak, originally uploaded by gambar713.

Here is a snap of the rojak that became more rojak! Hehe!

Well, rasanya kurrrreng, so the chief cooks (awu, banyak tangan, perhatikan rajah 4) decided to add more bahan-bahan perisa seperti kicap masin & manis, more kacang tumbuk, gula (white & brown), garam dan sosnya lagi. In the end, it tasted a bit better than mula-mula.

Snow in Brunei?

2006-12-25T19:33:00.000+08:00

This year's NBT Xmas Decoration is awesome ... ada snow lagi! Very nice, but last week ada vandals caught damaging the snowman & reindeer, and they were fined! Served them right! Padan muka diorang, they were from Australia and drunk at that time.

Anyway, it's Edot's birthday today too! Bebulan-bulan sudah ia remind everyone about her birthday. Ani ia lagi kan kena bawa ke KK, family trip this Wednesday, excited ia sudah with her packing yang berbakul-bakul, rioh Mamoi! Hehehe!

Happy Birthday Edot, Selamat Hari Raya Haji & Happy New Year 2007 to everybody!

Guess who appeared in the local paper today! Congrats to Faiz! Hope you will continue to succeed! Below is the newspaper report (courtesy of Borneo Bulletin Monday 27th November 2006)

5-star performance by Mulaut school quartet

By Rosli Abidin Yahya

Sekolah Rendah Mulaut this year scored excellent Primary School Evaluation (PSR) examination results with four students obtaining 5 As compared to only one student last year.

Of the 32 students who sat for the examination, four obtained 5 As, two 4 As and three got 3 As.

The school's overall pass percentage rose to 89.6% of which 16 students scored an A in Mathematics with only four failures.

According to teachers, the good results were due to the commitment of all the teachers since early this year to conduct extra classes, prepare extra notes and use past years' question papers as part of efforts to make sure the students were prepared for the PSR examination.

A motivational talk for the students and parents organised by the school's Parents-Teachers Association (PTA) was also held a few months before the examination, delivered by a local motivator, Hj Kasim bin Hj Omar.

The four students who scored 5 As are Nuraqilah Binti Kassim, Masrurah Binti Wahab, Ak Ahmad Al-Khari Bin Pg Hj Tajuddin and Ahmad Zaimi Fa'aiz Bin Hj Zaim.

Ahmad Zaimi Fa'aiz whose ambition is to be a scientist wants to follow his family tradition of studying at Science College where his mother was among the first intake of Sekolah Sains in 1978, followed by his aunties, uncles and cousins in the later years.

According to their teachers, Cikgu Hjh Noralam and Cikgu Masni, all of them were very active in school activities and represented the school in competitions and events organised by the Ministry of Education as well as Ministry of Religious Affairs.

The teachers promised to work hard to continue achieving excellent academic results.

Antiques At Home

2006-08-21T18:40:00.000+08:00

Two antique items which can be found at home. I am pretty sure they are older than myself, more than 35 years old! The mug itself is already 38 years old (souvenir in conjunction with HM Sultan's Coronation or Puspa in 1968), not sure about the brass Duck and Peacock, but both birds have been around ever since I was a child.

Going to find out how to preserve the two brass antiques, which I believe are valuable items now. They are possibly made in India. Will try to find more 'treasures' at home ....

Anybody wanna singalong? No worries, here are the lyrics :

Setiap ada kamu..
mengapa jantungku ini berdetak lebih kencang..
seperti genderang mau perang

Setiap ada kamu..
mengapa darahku mengalir lebih cepat
Dari ujung kaki ke ujung kepala

Setiap ada kamu..otak ku berpikir
bagaimana caranya untuk berdua bersama kamu

AKU SEDANG INGIN BERCINTA KARENA
MUNGKIN ADA KAMU DISINI…AKU INGIN...

Merah - si Ayam Serama

2006-06-30T07:54:00.000+08:00

Meet MERAH, our pet rooster. He is the only ayam left at home, all the rest sudah kembali ke hadrat Illahi dalam beberapa peristiwa tragik dan menyayat hati seperti dimakan biawak dan ular (it's a jungle out there!)

Merah is quite intelligent and smart to survive the ups & downs of a life as a rooster. He has some friends too, some pigeons (acang) and sparrows (pipit), selalu diorang begosip while having lunch or afternoon tea. If only Merah could fly! Hehehe!

Father's Birthday & Father's Day

2006-06-19T21:32:00.000+08:00

Father's Day falls on Sunday 18th June 2006 this year. And our beloved father/grandfather celebrated his 80th birthday on Friday 16th June, Alhamdulillah. Both were celebrated on Saturday night 17th June, managed to get most of the cucus together, tua muda damit besar, hehe.

You can see from the collage of pictures here, there were FOUR delicious cakes for the event! Yes, only FOUR. Well, it was definitely enough for all the kids (& the chocoholic adults too!)

Guess who is the most eager person that night - none other than Edot! Hehehe! We all had some delicious homemade steamboats of chicken soup & tom yam. Yummy! [Tawar sikit saja, sorry guys, hehe, lupa menambah sira]

Anyway, we all had a good time, it's not often that we can get together like this. A good guess - the next one would be during World Cup Final, and AF4 Final! Hahaha! Liat saja tah nanti! Who wanna bet?

AND! One more thing - please get the games ready for the next big gathering! Hadiah ada sudah bebeli that night, but too bad, we didnt get enough time to organise it. Mana inda, semua orang sibuk meliat football match & KDI. Inda lagi ingat kan main game! So we got some 'spare' gifts to give away next time. Baik jua inda main Lotto!

Ok, that's it for today. Ngalih sudah mengusai gambar-gambar ani.

A Lesson and Reminder

2006-06-19T13:28:00.000+08:00

A True Story:

This lady has changed her habit on the hand phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag which contained her mobile, credit card, purse etc. was stolen.

Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, telling him what had happened, her hubby says "I've just received your SMS asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago."

When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The pickpocket had actually used the stolen handphone to sms "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from the bank account.

Moral of the lesson:
Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list.
Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mum etc......
and very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked thru SMS, CONFIRM by calling back.

PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO YOUR LOVED ONES AND FRIENDS
