Yabedabedooo!!

Ahay faryad, faryad, azizam dare miyad!!

I just got a call from him, he is coming next week!! ey khoda, the LDR is going to finish. I'll get back my life. I started to think what he will bring for me? Remember from Iran with happiness? I hope i will get new mantou, saffron, pistachio and almond. Thats all i want, but if he give me something else, i'll love u more azizam :)

I plan to cook something to welcome him. Of course the long flight will make him tired, so good food will become a good healing. So what shall i cook after almost 3 months I didnt cook Persian food? im afraid i've lost the skill..hehe talk like i am an expert ;p whatever...zeresht polo ba morgh would be good with salad olviyeh,salad shirazi and doogh..emm..ok bye

Iranian Woman

What I adore about Iranian woman?

1. Beauty: Most of them have pretty face. Flawless skin - not oily. They are expert in make up even the old ones.
2. Hair: They have a huge amount of hair. Most of them curly naturally. They like to colour and highlight their hair but seems their hair still in good condition, not damage.
3. Body: They have height with slim body. How they manage their body even they consumed large amount of carbo everyday!
4. Cleanliness: Go to any Iranian house (with woman inside), you'll find their house is neat and tidy. Aren't they got tired to keep everything manageable?

Empty

The wind blows
Extracting the juicy of life
Life is nothing like past
The weather changed
Nothing remains same
Distance keep pushing
To know the strength
Do I will stand still?

Motivation

I can feel that everything has entangled each other. 

My life isn't as happy as before. Boring.

My study has no great progress, yet still confuse what should i do, what is my objective. The supervisor has never been helpful nor giving me ideas.

Bff is far. He does not understand what i want, only what he wants. I prefer calm and planned. But seems world is more important. 

I have no friends to hang out with. Most of them has started their own family. I did make new friends but there is barrier between us. 

My life Monday to Friday is lonely. Computer and papers are my accompanies. Weekend I share loves with peoples' kids. 

I don't know what will happen tomorrow. 

I don't put hope. I've stopped dreaming. I just let Allah to guide me. 

Az Roozi ke Rafti

Tonight I burst my tears madly. 

Az Roozi ke Rafti by Arian Band.

My words..

Go catch your dreams..im always here..waiting with God's will

Az roozi ke rafti, donya che ghashange

In khune por az atre golehaye ranggo rangge

Az roozi ke rafti, jovloon mide aftab

Shab too asemoon dobare peydash mishe mahtaab

Ahey ba to ke dige chizi ba chesham kam nemiyumad

To budi ya hichizi ba chesmam nemiyumad

Maaham tohi o shab bi to maahtabi nemishod

Aftaab vaseman pishe to aftaabi nemishod

Sobh ba'daaz oon ruze kazaii asemoon por shod az ranggi hanayi

Nemikhaste be roosh biyare ke to bashi hanash ranggi nadare

Age yek donya ghashangi bashe

Age har ja por az atre gholashe

Bedoon ino, delam pisheto gire

Nemitune kassi ja to begire

Lontong Semarang

Lontong is one of the dishes normally served during hari raya. It is time consuming to prepare this meal because there are several side dishes to be prepared too..but i found this recipe from kak jee's blog which is very easy and it is a one complete meal dish. I cooked this last weekend to finish up my nasi impit stock.

Ingredients:
- 2 medium onions*
- 4 garlic cloves*
- 2 inch fresh turmeric*
- 2 inch shrimp paste*
- 4 candlenuts*
- 2 lemon grass
- 2 cups coconut milk
- 2 thai chillies*
- 2 red chillies, sliced thinly
- water
- oil
- eggplant, halved and cut about 2 inch
- cabbage, roughly tear
- petola (dont know what it is in english) halved and cut about 2 inch
- pucuk melinjau (same goes with this) roughly tear
- 200g daging tetel (same goes with this)

*Grind

Methods:

1. Boil daging tetel until tender for about 1 and half hour.

2. In other pot, saute grounded ingredients and lemon grass until aroma rise.

3. Add in daging tetel along with its water.

4. When everything mix well, after about 5 minutes, add in the eggplant and petola.

5. Follow by other veges.

6. Pour in coconut milk. Let it boil and simmer for about 10 minutes.

Serve with nasi impit (pressed rice cubes). This time my mom requested kuah kacang (red sauce at bottom) to accompany the lontong.
