PEARLS FROM THE PROPHET (s.a.w): Care to Share ?

These few days without Maid have been very 'testing' & 'trying' for me. Yep ! if I could... I would throw-in the towel and raised the white-flag !!... I surrender !!! Frankly, I don't know how to cope without 'breaking' my back ! I want things to be orderly, spick & span.. the way I like it, just when I hv the maid... I guessed that's quite impossible And to top it off --- lil katkott is not well... and hb had to work outside... and I hv to bring him to the Doctor (and get to walk around T2, LOL !! ). I want to do all these......I am determine to go to work, and yet still manage a clean home & feed everybody well !! ... but how ?? how gedemaaa ?? ....... wo pu hau... sakit pinggang liao !!!! really sakit ni.... !!!

Shall I hire a maid again.......... ?????? *sigh* (Astaghrafirullah)....

OK... 'self-pity' aside....Lil Katkoot is not so well, I left early from work on Monday coz the daycare called... he had been coughing badly and were out of breath ! He didn't really recovered since last month when I brought him to a new doctor... ahh well :

Since it's late and his Doctor (my uncle) at Raffles Clinic in T2 had closed, I decided to bring him the next day... but he can't really sleep at night, breathing badly. At 3.30am he woke me up, since he didn't eat dinner... I brought him to the living room & we watched Playhouse Disney while I fed him Cornflakes with Raisins... Alhamdullillah, he ate some, and even in his out-of-breath mode - were still 'yapping away' !! ... We went back to sleep at around 5.30am !!!

Next morning, hb went off to work... I did some houseworkssss, I drove to T2 ... Sick as he is, he was running around & singing his latest favourite tune that had been haunting my days & nights for the last few weeks... "He got the whoooole world in his hands,he go the whoooole world in his hand... He got the whoooooooooooole world in his hands... he got the whole world in his hand" (From Cold Storage Advertisement)... then he will go "Say.. 'Again'.. mama....say 'Again'.."... (coz last time when he did this I would say... "Again???") and I MUST say "Again??!!! ", then he would laugh and start all over again "He got the whoooooole world in his hands ................" over & over & over again & again... !! *slap head.. faint*, LOL !!! But it's so cute, cos he'll be singing so loud that people around would turn their heads... either smiling, or some frowning (so what ?!) !!

Anyway, the Doctor said his tonsils are swollen... that's why the coughs & the hard breathing... so he gets a stronger antibiotics this time... which of course cost MORE !!... hehe.. The thing is, later he said he wanted to eat Chicken Rice !! This lil picky eater loves the Chicken rice from Banquet... this is the only food he would ask for !! MasyaAllah... So I drove to Eastpoint Simei and we had our plate of chicken rice.. Alhamdullillah, he ate half of it :)

So, the actual reason for this Entry (apart from the complaining) is actually to ask any sisters out there if you can so kindly 'teach' me how to cook Chicken Rice the way they cook at BANQUET .... especially how to make the Roasted chicken so soft & tender like that... even their rice & soup are nice :) !!!! I hv my own recipe of chicken rice and had tried few others... yep, I boiled the chicken first, dip them in cold water (ice), then roasted them... but still it's not as tender as the one in BANQUET !! ... even other stalls' chicken rice are not as nice :( I had wanted to gather the courage and ask that 'boy' who served us how to cook them.... but alas, I don't hve the courage and the 'takut diketawerkan' syndrome gets the better side of me... so again, after we finished, I walked away... defeated

So, friends... if u know the 'secret' of cooking 'yummilicious tender chicken' chicken rice... share share lah wif me.... or better still, if u know somebody who worked at BANQUET (mak ker, makcik ker, kakak, abang, adek... kawan... saper2 jer lah)... surohlah 'hijack' the resipe & 'seludop' to me.... pleaseeeeee, not for me lah - but for my baby..... hehehe (takkan hari2 nak beli pat BANQUET kan ?).
