Sometimes it is easier for us to think about the past, to question “What if…” We regret things that we did wrong or we didn’t do. But the past is just a history as some people say. It’s over and its time to move on. Sometimes we always think about the future. We also ask the same question “What if…” We become afraid of the uncertainties, of things that might happen or might not happen. 

But what about the present? We forget about it? We let it slip away until it becomes the past. I have to admit, sometimes I am like that. So I’m trying to balance things out. I’m not saying that thinking about the past is totally a bad thing. We learn from the past so we don’t repeat the same mistakes. We reminisce the sweet memories that are dear to us. And of course we have to think about our future, we must be prepared for what lies ahead. But, the present is most important. Live in the moment, live in the present. The present is a gift after all. Carpe diem!

I think that most of you will agree if I say that we always think that other people have a better life than us. The grass is always greener on the other side, as the saying goes. So we chase after that happiness. Wanting to achieve the kind of happiness that we think they have. But what is happiness? How can it be defined? It certainly can’t be measured. Happiness comes in different form, that giddy feeling when you stumble upon someone you have a crush on, that proud moment when you received you degree, when you cried after delivering your baby, that ecstatic state you’re in when your football team won a game.

But how long does it last? A year? A month? A day? An hour? Definitely it is not forever. Feelings are never constant. That ‘happiness’ is just a temporary high. Who wouldn’t be happy to buy something? For instance a car, a sports car. Of course you’re happy but it’s only for a certain moment. Will you still be happy a day after that? A month? A year after that? So you keep on chasing, searching for ‘happiness’.  The thing is, life is not ALWAYS about being happy. Life has its ups and downs so you’ll never catch up with happiness. Maybe what we should be looking for is a balanced life. When time gets hard, just remember that it will past, and some kind of happiness will come

Jum main masak-masak nak??? Heheh kalau ikutkan takdelah terror sangat memasak, tapi sikit-sikit tuh bolehlaaa. Masak lauk sikit2, dessert sikit2. Jadi ingat naklah share sedikit sebanyak resipi yang telah di try especially resipi makanan bekal yang dibawa ke opis. Konsepnya ringkas, sihat & jimat gitu. Dah a few months try konsisten not badlah, memang boleh jimat (yeay! this means more travel for me :))

Mehlah jenguk2 jap bekal yang I bawak

Nampak sedap tak? hehe konsep #lunchdepanpc okeh. Nanti I share sikit2 ya resipinya 30 minit pun tak sampai sebab memang senang je. Tak payah tumis2 pecah minyak bagai memang takde, so kepada yang bertekak melayu, maybe boleh modify dengan tambah  kepedasan or lebihkan bawang ke. Orait till then, nantikan ye resipi2 menarik.

Antara azam ataupun something new yang saya nak cuba untuk tahun nih adalah bercucuk tanam. Before ni memang takde pun nak try tanam menanam nih. Tapi rasa macam why not kita cuba something new yang bermanfaat. Benda2 yang diperlukan pun bukannya susah sangat kan, bekas (boleh guna bekas2 plastik dan recycle) tanah dan benih. Bukanlah nak buka kebun ke hape, tapi atleast nak tanam sayur-sayur macam tuh more to domestic use lah. So antara sayur yang terawal yang disemai adalah sayur bayam, salad, sawi, tomato ceri dan cili. After 6 weeks, menjadi jugaklah bayamnya. Sempat tabor baja taik ayam sekali je hehe.

Oklah dah selamat buat spinach omelette yummeh hehe. Bayam nih senang jugak nak tumbuh. Campak je cukup air, insyaAllah menjadilah dia. Dan dalam masa 6 minggu macam tuh dah boleh tuai. Setakat nih takde serangan serangga dan tak sensitive sangat. I suggest kalau baru nak berjinak2 dalam gardening, boleh tanam bayam. Kalau tanaman menjadi, barulah confidence level dan semangat pun lebih kan?

Sawi langsung tak nampak rupa hehe. Then nampak macam ada yang bercambah, siram punya siram rupanya pokok lain. Pokok nih category catnip Malaysia kut. Kucing suka makan, gigit-gigit akar dan daunnya.

Salad pulak lain cerita. Try first time, langsung tak bercambah. Try semai kali kedua, bercambah, tapi maybe terlebih air akarnya mereput. Nih try kali ketiga ada a few je yang survive setakat nih. Mencabar jugaklah nak tanam salad nih. Untuk tomato ceri dan cili, for the first try ada yang bercambah, tapi pertumbuhan terbantut. Maybe I messed up the roots semasa nak replant. Dalam usaha untuk tanam kali kedua.

Baru-baru nih ada semai kalian, dah bercambah hopefully bolehlah membesar dan mendatangkan hasil. So that’s the record for now. Overall, kena cuba dan jangan giveup haha
