1 cup panko flour for breaded 

How to make : 

1. Warm the margarine - sauted garlic and shallots till its fragrant.. add flour - stir well 

2. Add milk, minced meat and the broth and cheddar.. 

3. Seasoned well - add pepper, nutmeg (I add 2 tbs of sugar too ..) 

4. when the dough is set, turn off the stove - set aside

5. take 1 tbs - make a ball shape - do all at once 

6. Prepare the solvent before you bread the ball 

7. Dip the ball and roll it on the breaded flour - set aside

Satu hari di penghujung September

Satu hari di penghujung September...
Saat  hari-hari yang biasanya sudah dipenuhi rintik kecil gerimis maupun bau tanah selepas hujan.. Namun sampai saat ini masih dipenuhi kelembaban..

Kadang.. saya merasa kalau dunia ada di dalam genggaman..
Saat mendapati suami menatap penuh sayang,
Atau ketika terbangun dari tidur dan mendapati diri berada dalam pelukannya semalaman..

Kadang saya merasa bahwa Gusti Allah sangat bermurah hati dengan memberikan saya kelurga penuh cinta..
Iya .. sangat penuh cinta..
Ketika satu masalah selesai secepat masalah yang lain timbull.. dan semuanya dapat selesai dengan banyak pertimbangan.dan sejuta pelukan..

Kadang.. saya merasa lupa bersyukur.. atau bahkan terlena atas seluruh nikmat yang ada...
Saat terlalu memikirkan dunia..  #sigh..
Ketika terlewat memanjatkan doa untuk orang-orang terkasih yang sudah bersamaNya...
Atau tak paham ketika telah tiba saatnya untuk duduk diam dan berdoa..

Kadang saya merasa bawa sudah cukup berhak untuk bertanya padaNya..
atas seluruh rantaian peristiwa yang mengganggu rasa...

hmm..

Padahal.. apa yang sudah diberikanNya?
Sepasang buah hati yang sehat lahir batin.. dan alhamdulillah sampai saat ini tak henti membuat saya bersyukur atas mereka...
Imam yang sangat paham makmumnya.. berbesar hati atas seluruh kekurangan bidadarinya..
dan memaklumi atas seluruh khilaf yang tercipta.. bahkan mengambil alih saat saya salah jalan..

Gustii Allah..
ijinkan saya.. di satu hari di penghujung September ini.. untuk kembali bersujud syukur padamu..
berterima kasih atas seluruh rizki yang berlimpah..

Atas iman Islam..
Atas keluarga dan teman-teman.. yang shalih shaliha.. dan senantiasa mengingatkanku atas kodratMu..
Matur suwun sanget .. karena memberikan kami lingkungan yang memudahkan kami untuk senantiasa mengingatMu.. serta bersujud padaMu..
We never have enough of You..

Jagakan kami.. serta keturunan kami dari seluruhh kesusahan di dunia dan akhirat.. tumbuhkan iman Islam kami.. dekatkan ukhuwahh kami.. mudahkan kami untuk senantiasa dapat berdzikir padaMu, Gusti..
Mudahkan kami untuk berprasangka baik.. jauhkan kami dari sifat suudzonn dan riya..

Aamiin ya Rabbal Aalamiin...

Work work work

Dear Readers, 

I know that its been a while for me getting spider web in this blog around...

Yes.. forgive my inability to do a good time management, as always.. 

Been here and there.. 

Works -- both in office and home took most of my times.. 

After getting a full time position at P&O - yess company prefer to call it that way, instead of the usual HR, in which im doing Recruitment for 3 company. The job coverage includes participating in Job Fairs and in addition to it I also learn to prepare Job Profile and Job Desc .. This is not including assistance given for several employee engagement projects and some bit and tat :)..

Well, its not that im complaining but, its quite time consuming.. even though im trying to catch up the bloody 10 years (maybe) :D ..
However, my awkward time management has caused some chaos in this and that.. if i may say.. and to be frank, nothing that i regret :)

At time being, i m processing a MT program - which has caused me some confusion and mixed up feelings. The office asked me to participate into job fairs - in which started since May and June in Jakarta and Mid August in Jogja.. My first experience and i really need to convince my self to do so.

It was three fine events even in Jogja when i have to travel by my self, carrying two laptops and one projector.. Got some supports from my besties and the organizer, i found the event was so fruitfull and managed to bring more CV as candidates..

Well.. there are some more stages that i have to go through.. would likely going back to Jogja end of this month.. .

I'll tell you the story later, guyz..

Wassalamualaikum..
