[Warkah Buatmu Teman]

Hai Mulan,

Macam tak percaya kan? Macam tak percaya jer kau dah nak kahwin? Macam baru semalam jer kita dok pusing satu sekolah, tup tup hari ni kau bakal bergelar seorang isteri kepada seorang suami? Eh dah 11 tahun dah rupanya. Kelakar kan? * Okay, tertiru Fattah Amin jap.

Teman,

Tahun ni, ulang tahun kau ni paling special berbanding ulang tahun kelahiran yang lepas-lepas. Kenapa kau tanya? Tahun kau bukan saja menambahkan angka untuk setiap ruangan umur kat mana-mana borang yang isi. Bahkan kau akan menulis “Berkahwin” pada ruangan Status Perkahwinan. And on top of that, ko kene isi banyak details mengenai pasangan yang mana masa kau bujang kau boleh ignore. Kelakar kan? * Okay tiru Fattah Amin lagi, Yang ni aku ngaku aku sengaja.

Mun, aku bukanlah manusia yang paling layak untuk memberi nasihat dalam perkahwinan. Aku tak layak nak bagi nasihat mengenai tanggungjawab seorang isteri. Aku tak layak untuk memberi nasihat tentang “do” and “donts” dalam perkahwinan. Cuma satu yang aku mahu, Aku Cuma mahu melihat kau bahagia. Percayalah, aku gembira dengan perkahwinan kau ni.

Kawan,

Selepas ini, kau akan bergelar seorang isteri, kemudian bergelar seorang ibu, seterusnya seorang nenek. Masa kau akan terisi perlahan-lahan dengan kahadiran warga keluarga yang baru. Secara mental, mungkin aku masih dalam fikiran kau, namun secara fizikal mungkin kita tidak akan berhubung lagi. Percayalah kawan, aku akan faham akan keadaan mu. Percayalah kawan, aku akan sentiasa ada saat kau mencari ku.

Munirah,

Di hari kelahiran mu ini, di hari bahagia mu ini, aku ingin ucapkan semoga dengan pertambahan usia ini akan meningkatkan kematangan mu, keimananmu, kebahagianmu, rezekimu dan kesihatan mu. Usah kau risau akan dirimu, Yakinlah dirimu, aku juga turut bahagia seperti mu.

Selamat ulangtahun dan selamat pengantin baru kawan.

[CRUSH : TO CONFESS OR NOT TO]

Hai Semua !

Lama rasanya dah tak ber-girl-talk kat blog ni. Berkurun lamanya dah tak berbincang mengenai masalah hati perempuan ni. Tajuk Girl’s Talk peanut kali ni adalah mengenai Crush : To confess or not to. Bercakap pasal crush ini, peanut yakin, semua perempuan pernah or masih ada crush. Yang lelaki tak pasti lak peanut ada jugak ke crush-thing ni.

Ada yang pernah crush since schools, since universiti . Ada jugak yang crush kat officemate. Dapat tengok pun kau dah gembira, apatah lagi kalau crush tegur kau, melompat kebahagiaan lah kau. Untuk kes-kes normal, crush selalunya tak kenal pun malah tak tahu pun kewujudan kau. Tapi ada kes yang mana, your crush is your bff. Dalam tak sedar kau jatuh cinta dengan BFF kau sendiri. Eh ini untuk kes BFF lelaki dan perempuan jer tau. Bukan kes lelaki-lelaki ataupun perempuan-perempuan.

That’s what happened to me. I had crush on my BFF. To make it worse, I do confess. And the question now, is it the best decision I made? Did I happy with my choice? Or did I regret to death? 

My BFF was my schoolmate but we be friend only after school during school reunion. It was just friend back then. Then, he worked nearby me, and we became close. At first, we hanged out together with other friends as well. We become close as friend. Then, we went out just two of out. Watch some movie, eating, as well as shopping. Since then, I become his close friend. Sometime, we talk on phone after meeting. Sometime we texted until one of us fell asleep. I had crush on him since then.

Suddenly, he had to go back to hometown and worked there. I was surprised and sad at the same time since we were close. But I take it easily. We did contact each other. Sometime I say hi and asked how he was doing. We started became apart. We were still friend, But not as close as before.

After few years, I had to go back hometown too due to my personal reason and start my new life there. We become close again. We went for eating together. We went for the wedding. He shared so much, about his life, his personal life, his family, his work, even the secret that he did not share with anyone else. Same goes to me. I told him my problem. My sufferings. We become BFF again, and then I realized. The crush things that I had on him was not just a crush. I FELT FOR HIM!

For some reason, I personally think that he had same feeling as me. He never told, but sometime we can read all those hints. I was so confident that I thought I had to confess. I had those confident after he asked me to stay work in hometown when I was offered work in other city that far from him. That’s how I got my confident. I gathered all my courage and confess to him. To be honest he shocked and I was hurt since I did not expect that reaction.

He told me he was shocked that I had those feelings. He admitted that I was the closest female friend that he had. The closest friend that he had share all his problem. He was comfortable with me. But he did not had feeling towards me. I was just a friend to him. Ha asked me why? Why I fall for him. To be honest, I did not have any reason. I did not know why I like him. I could not find any reason why I love him.

We become distant. From a close friend to just a stranger. The friendship ruin. I hurt. Deeply wound. I try to be friend. Like old time, but I ended up hurting myself. It hurt me more seeing how okay he was doing. How okay he was without me, his closest friend. Did my place as a friend was being replaced? Did he not feeling like losing me?

Truthfully, the confession hurt me more than I thought it could. Our friendship ruined, but, I had to. There was no relationship between male and female. Either they fall for each other, or one of them did. In my case, it worse. I fall, but he did not. But I did not regret that I confessed. I did not regret that I fall for him. He was the best-friend I had. I never forget how kind he was, how much help he already done to me. I will cherish those moment. I never regret knowing him. I never regret confessed to him. I feel grateful he told me the truth. So that I won’t hurt more by having false hope. The only regret I had we became the stranger after all the things we done as BFF.

Dear FA, thank you. Thank you for being honest. Thank you to make me wakeup from the false hope. Im sorry, but I am still moving on. Do you know that it is really hard to move on from you? Do you know that you are not easy to forget? I am trying my best to get rid of this feeling. I wish you well. I wish you to meet good woman that destined to you. I wish for your happiness eventho it was not me.

Back to our topic, should you confess or not to your crush. That answer lies with you. It depends on how much risk you willing to take. In my opinion, I vote for confess. At least he knows, and you know how he feel rather than wait for it to happened. If he does feel the same, then you are lucky fella. Happy ending. End of the story. But if he does not, do not worry. At least you know. And you can give the chance to other people than wait for him. Other guy that might be the one. You will hurt, deeply hurt, but someday you will move on. I will.

So girls, gather your courage and start to confess to your crush. Please don’t keep those feeling to yourself and keep on having high hope, coz its really dangerous to your heart. I know it is not easy. You will think how close you guys are, and the thought that you are losing him will haunt you, but you cant wait forever, and there is no close- friendship between male and female. Trust me.

There is quote saying that we had to let go people we love, if it was mean to be, it will mean to be.

Till then, Bye.

[10 MAKANAN WAJIB DICUBA DI KELANTAN]

Hai semuaaa!

Sejak peanut balik Kelantan ni, memang boleh dikatakan peanut dah mula adapt balik dengan pemakanan di Kelantan ni. Kalau dulu breakfast dengan sandwhich sekarang dengan nasi belauk. Kalau dulu lunch dengan subway, sekarang  lunch nasi kak wok. Haaa. Memang dah berubah 360 betul. Pasta pizza ni pandang tepi jer. Dah tak nak. So kali ni peanut nak berkongsi makanan-makanan yang wajib korang makan sekiranya berkunjung ke Kelantan. Kalau tak makan, boleh dikatakan maka tak lengkaplah kunjungan korang tu.

1. Nasi Kerabu

Nasi kerabu memang merupakan makanan terkenal di Kelantan.Bahkan boleh dikatakan ianya makanan ruji warga Kelantan pada waktu pergi. Kalau korang berkunjung ke Kelantan, korang boleh jer pergi mana-mana kedai/ warung makan , confirm akan ada nasi kerabu dijual. Nasi Kerabu Kelantan selalunya berwarna putih dan mempunyai kuah tumis dilengkapi dengan ulam-ulaman yang dipotong halus. Selain daripada bahan asas tersebut, ianya juga dimakan bersama dengan ayam bakar, daging bakar dan kambing bakar. ‘Solok’ lada dan jeruk bawang serta telor asin juga ditambah untuk menambah selera. Kalau bakal mak mertua lalu pun tak perasan kalau dapat makan. Memang sedap!

2. Nasi Dagang Kelantan

Nasi dagang Kelantan berlainan daripada Nasi Dagang Terengganu dari segi tekstur beras, cara memasak nasi, malah gulai yang dimasak juga berlainan. Nasi Dagang Kelantan selalunya campuran warna putih dan dan sedikit beras berwarna merah. Ianya ditambah dengan  sambal kelapa (mix of kelapa dan isi ikan), gulai ikan/ ayam dan telor rebus. Selain itu, ada juga ditambah acar sayur. Memang menyelerakan!

3. Laksa/Laksam Lemak

Laksa/Laksam Lemak Kelantan memang terkenal, bukan sahaja di negeri Kelantan bahkan dinegeri-negeri luar. Ramai perantau dari Kelantan yang membuka kedai makan diluar Kelantan dan menawarkan menu tersebut untuk dicuba  terutama di area Kampung Baru, Kuala Lumpur. Laksa dan Laksam ini akan dimakan bersama dengan gulai lemak, ulam-ulaman yang dihiris halus serta sambal homemade yang sure terangkat habis! Wajib cuba okay!.

4. Percik

Haaa, macam-macam percik yang ditawarkan di Kelantan escpecially bulan Ramadhan. Ada percik ikan keli, percik ikan kembung, percik ayam, pergi kaki ayam, percik perut ayam dan sebagainya. Haa, pernah makan percik perut ayam? Time nilah nak rasa. Percik-percik di Kelantan sedap dan selalunya ada rasa lemak masin manis gitu. Manis dan Kelantan memang tak dapat dipisahkan. Harus cuba!

5. Akok

Akok merupakan sejenis kuih tradititional turun temurun di negeri Kelantan. Akok ini diperbuat mostly dari telor itik dan dibakar.Rasanya sangat sedap bergantung kepada kepandaian si pembuat. Ada yang guna telor itik sedikit. Rasanya tidak selembut yang meggunakan telor yang banyak. Memang sedap! Memang tak pernah lah cukup dengan makan satu jer.

6. Etok Salai

Etok salai ni boleh dikatakan makanan yang dimakan ketika aktiviti istirehat sambal tengok tv kat rumah ataupun ketika aktiviti bergosip dijalankan. Etok salai ni ada pelbagai perisa bergantung kepada penjual otok tu sendiri. Bukan perisa oren, epal anggur ye, Prisa mcam rempah masin pedas macam tu. Sedaap. Wajib try! Etok salai pasir mas is really recommended!

7. Budu dan ulaman

Haaa, alangkah ruginya melawat Kelantan kalau tak cuba makanan ni yang teramat sinonim dengan negeri cik siti wan kembang ni. Kalau tak makan cicah budu memang tak sah ye. Selalunya budu akan dicicah bersama dengan ikan rebut, mangga cincang, cili, dan ulam-ulaman. Kalau sapa2 yang berkunjung ke Kelantan, peanut recommend untuk ke Nasi Ulam CIkgu untuk menikmasti nasi ulam yang dicicah budu. Why not try once for experience, right?

8. Ketupat Sotong

Yang ni wajib makan okay untuk pengemar sotong. Sotong ini dimasak dengan pulut yang disumbat di dalamnya. Rasanya memang sangat menyelerakan.

9. Lokceng

Haaa, pernah makan lokceng tak? Teramat rugilah kalau tak pernah. Lokceng atau nama lainnya satay ikan akan dibakar dan diserve dengan sos manis pedas berwarna pink. Ahaaaa, sedap sangat makan sambal menghadap pantai, merenung ke lautan yang luas terbentang. Semua kawan peanut yang luar Kelantan peanut akan suruh cuba. Mula-mula semua buat muka pelik. Pastu semua macam oh sedappp rupanya.

10. Aiskrim baba 

Aiskrim Baba ni walaubagaimanapun merupakan asal dari Siam tapi ada peniaga yang menjual di area Rantau Panjang/ Pengkalan Kubor. AIskrim Baba ni kombinasi aiskrim, roti, jagung , kadang , susu dan beberapa jenis hiasan dan perisa yang lain. Serius sedap makan sambal shopping area bebas cukai tersebut.

Some of the pictures are mine, and some are taken from instagram I love Kelantan. Do follow the IG for more interesting and delicious food in Kelantan! Pasti air liur korang meleleh-leleh tengok skrin telefon! Bye~!
