Lately this blog received lots of viewers searching for sup tulang merah recipe. Yesterday it was viewed 185. I never thought this "malay" recipe is the most popular one among my other recipes since I shared mostly persian foods recipes. By the way, if anyone ever made sup tulang merah following my recipe, please share with me the outcome. Hopefully it turned out good!
Hello dearest readers..How's your day? It seems like times past so fast. We're already in the 3rd week of ramadhan. Have you prepared for hari raya? Me, not a single thing. This year I have no passion to celebrate. I'm so lazy to make biscuits. I cooked only for iftar like 2 times per week. Other days mak or my sisters prepare for iftar. It's totally different like other past years ramadhan. I have no appetite to eat, i eat just to not feel hungry not stuffing myself like normally i did. Maybe because we're only 2 people in house, me and mak. My mak also like that, 5 minutes after iftar she'll finish eating and go to pray. I haven't started cleaning house, I haven't buy baju raya or maybe I won't buy any. I hate going to malls, it's crowded on weekend and hard to find parking.
On the other hand, i'm currently doing my data collection so my mind is so tired. So tired that I just don't want to wake up from sleep because I don't want to think.
Lets see how my hari raya will turn out this year. Will update later.
Bye.
After 14 episodes of maahe asal, I am addicted to this song.
(Instead of me, you are torturing yourself)تو به جای منم داری زجر می کشی
(There is someone that you loved loves you) یکی عاشقته که تو عاشقشی
(Instead of me, you are full of sorrow) تو به جای منم پر غصه شدی
(Don't let me tired, don't say you're tired) نذار خسته بشم نگو خسته شدی
(You're worrying me, that my heart don't hurt) نگران منی که نگیره دلم
(To seeing you, my heart is pumping) واسه دیدن تو داره میره دلم
(You're worrying me, like a child) نگران منی مثل بچگیا
(You know, what I want from you) تو خودت می دونی من ازت چی می خوام
(Is it ok for you I stay lonely) مگه میشه باشی و تنها بمونم
()محاله بذاری محاله بتونم
(I no longer missing him) دلم دیگه دلتنگیاش بی شماره
(Other than you, he still has nobody) هنوزم به جز تو کسی رو نداره
(You're changing our life) عوض می کنی زندگیم و
(You make me remember our loves) تو یادم دادی عاشقیم و
(You're in my memory forever) تو رو تا ته خاطراتم کشیدم
(I never seen anybody with your beauty) به زیبایی تو کسی رو ندیدم
(Don't say) نگو دیگه آب از سر من گذشته
(Is there anybody other than you that) مگه جز تو کی سر نوشت و نوشته
(You don't have to have tolerance) تحمل نداره نباشی
(You're not alone) دلی که تو تنها خداشی
(A frozen pride, A cold star) یه غرور یخی یه ستاره سرد
(A night full of complaint to God) یه شب از همه چی به خدا گله کرد
(One time all of things gone) یک دفعه به خودش همه چی رو سپرد
(He did not cry anymore only bored) دیگه گریه نکرد فقط حوصله کرد
(You're worrying me) نگران منی به تو قرصه دلم
(You're by my side, there's no fear) تو کنار منی نمی ترسه دلم
(Hug me, take everything from me) بغلم کن ازم همه چیم رو بگیر
(Let me cry near you) بذار گریه کنم پیش تو دل سیر
*****This is my attempt to translate the lyrics. I got the farsi lyrics from RadioJavan. There's خدث mistake from the original source that I've corrected. It written غبار instead of غرور. Btw, I know it is not exactly translated as what it means in farsi. Words in blue means I didn't get to fully translated it. If anybody want to correct, please do so.****** Will update once I've recheck with mr.bf.
Maahe asal is a program by channel 3 Iran that screened every day during ramadhan right before iftar. Previously I watched few of past years episodes where I found it when I am searching for "Iran documentary channel 3" in Youtube. I remember one of the episodes where parents of a teenager canceled death prosecution of the murderer who killed their son. Months after that few episodes, I wanted to watch more but I couldn't find what is the name of the program until this year's Ramadhan I found it as it come out on my youtube's subscription lists because I subscribed IranianTVseries channel. Khoda ra shokr. Until today, 12 episodes has been screened but the best episode is on the 10th Ramadhan. I bet most of Iranians who watched this program saying the same thing. There are 2 parts and I am saying about the second part where Solmaz and Ehsan are the guests. Their love was being tested after Solmaz involved in an accident where her parents and cousin passed away and she went to a 40 days coma. Then after God shows how a pure love tackles everything. It was a touching, sincere expression of love by Solmaz to thank her husband of what he had done for her in the past 5 years. Ehsan is one in a million man in this world. Solmaz is a lucky girl to have Ehsan as a husband. For those who haven't watch this episode please do so. I bet after you watch it, you'll understand how lucky you are and how important to appreciate people that we love despite situation. This is the 'shahzadeye royaye man' that every woman should have.
Episode 10
In the beginning of 11th episode, they showed some after-show clips. Do watch it too.
Finally after 1 and half month I finished reading this 380 pages book. Overall I am satisfied with the content and story line. This is the first time I read a book related to literature. It's a bit hard for me as I never knew about Lolita or Darcy or James etc...Azar Nafisi combined and mix everything very well. The story is during Iran's Islamic revolution, Iran - Iraq war and post war. It shows how Iranian most of the time the author herself and her students adapting and behaved to the changes by relating it to English literature books. So today I'm going to read new book that I just bought, Honeymoon in Tehran by Azadeh Moaveni. Will blog about it later!
Update October 2014: I saw this book on sale RM12.00 at Popular while I bought it at RM74++ at Kinokuniya!!!!!!!!!!
Me and my life..This is my story, my reference of my experience in learning Farsi and cooking Persian foods. For me Farsi is a very beautiful language. Persian Cuisine is not only foods to stuff hungry stomach, but it is an art that need to learn and practice to master. I have learned little and have lots ahead. This is my passion, my love.
