World news

Sometimes reading the news can be a jaw-dropping experience. It is a worry how some people take things to a whole new level of extremity. Click on the links to read more about it.

Bunga Telur?

Hujung tahun, musim cuti sekolah, musim orang kahwin ...setiap hujung minggu ada jemputan kahwin..

Alhamdulillah, kebanyakannya adalah kawan-kawan semasa belajar dahulu, atau kawan anak-anak belajar... bermakna.... kita juga kena bersedia... mana tahu tiba-tiba salah seorang anak akan berkata, " Ummi..abi...saya nak kahwin!" 

Sudah bersediakan kami? 

.................

Malam semalam kami menghadiri kenduri kahwin anak kawan juga di Shah Alam..

besar-besaran juga walaupun anak lelaki...(hurm..selalu orang buat sebelah pihak lelaki tidak lah sehebat kenduri anak perempuan....)

tetapi yang saya tertarik adalah "bunga telur" yang diberi...

sebenarnya bukan telur..tetapi dapat coklat..!!! dan saya rasa lebih praktikal, daripada membeli bunga telur, nak rebus telur lagi (kalau orang Johor..selalu nak telur pindang...alaaa yang warna coklat tu..)...

 Coklat besar tu untuk ummi dan abi, anak-anak remaja dapat Toblerone, kanak-kanak (Hana' dan Zubair) dapat lollipop ...(hehehe..Hana' cakap...alaaaa..Hana nak Toblerone jugak!)

Hurmmm....agak-agak kalau anak saya kahwin nanti saya nak bagi apa ya sebagai "Door Gift"?? (kena tepuk poket, tanya budget...hehehe)

Calories in Pasta, Noodles and Rice

Back home I know its carbs, I know its fattening, I know too much of it isn't good. But I've always chose to ignore it. As of right now, since I am doing most of the cooking on my own, I somehow become more aware of the 'bad stuff' of certain food. It's like when I earned my own money, I tend to be more concious of how I spend it. So, the same goes for the food I consume now.

Again, Google was my bestfriend =D

The LINK pretty much provides the answers I was searching for.

On another note: Does everyone know how to read the food labels on packets? I spoke to EJ yesterday and she was telling me how she reads the food label everytime before buying the item. of course, sometimes she closes one eye during those chocolate craving moments. I've probably glanced through the label, but only when I felt like it, but the labels were never really my first priority. Cravings were MY top priority! ;)

SOURCE
Food label claims are not as straightforward as they may seem. For instance, a food labeled "Sugar Free" actually contains sugar, and foods labeled "Calorie Free" contain calories.
What the food label really means: 

• "Reduced," as in Reduced Sugar, Reduced Fat, Reduced Calories, Reduced Sodium, et al: Contains at least 25 percent less of the named offender than the regular version.
• No Added Sugar: No sugars were added during processing.
• Sugar Free: Contains fewer than 0.5 grams per serving.
• Low Calorie: Contains 40 or fewer calories per serving.
• Calorie Free or No Calories: Contains fewer than 5 calories per serving.
• Light or Lite: Contains one-third fewer calories than the regular version, or less than 50 percent fat per serving.
• Low Fat: Contains 3 grams or less fat per serving.
• Fat Free: Contains fewer than 0.5 grams per serving.
• XX% Fat Free: Based on the amount, by weight, of fat in 100 grams of the food. For example, a 100-gram serving of a food that is "97% Fat Free" would contain 3 grams of fat.
• Low Cholesterol: Contains 20 mg or less cholesterol and 2 grams or less saturated fat per serving.
• Cholesterol Free: Contains fewer than 2 mg of cholesterol and 2 grams or less of saturated fat per serving.
• High Fiber: Contains 5 grams or more fiber and 3 grams or less fat per serving.
• Good Source of Fiber: Contains 2.5 to 4.9 grams fiber per serving.
• More Fiber or Added Fiber: Contains at least 2.5 grams more fiber per serving than the reference food.

AL-Hafiz : Syukur

Syukur Alhamdulillah...

semalam dapat panggil telefon dari anak di Maahad Tahfiz Al-Quran Hira' di Jeram..

Syukur ALhamdulillah...anak kelimakeenam saya (ummi silap kira pulak! hehehe) telah berjaya menghafaz 30 juzuk Al-Quran dalam masa setahun ..

Mu'adz memasuki MTQH pada awal tahun ini ...

namun begitu beliau perlu teruskan lagi setahun di MTQH untuk tujuan pemantapan ...

perlu memperkukuhkan lagi bacaan dan hafazan beliau...

Ini bermakna sudah 2 orang anak ku yang menjadi AL-Hafiz... 

sebelum ini, anak ke-3 ku, Ammar, telah pun berjaya menjadi seorang hafiz beberapa tahun lepas.

ALhamdulillah. Syukur kepadaMu Ya Allah...

Hanya airmata kegembiraan mengiringi kejayaan mereka.
