And so we drove to Pontian for a day trip yesterday
greeted by 'Selamat datang ke Pontian: Penghujung Benua Asia'
(Welcome to Pontian: the end of Asia continent land)
for my dad's shop's open house which had almost if not more than 1,000 guests.
I know.
And it's not even his eldest daughter's wedding yet.
This is the infamous burasak, lepat lueh and ketupat in between.
This is Ammar, my youngest and second most good-looking in the family :P.
After Baby. Uhuk..
This is my youngest sister, Baby with my lecturer / writer cousin and his newly-pregnant wife.
They get mistaken for 'abang dan adik' (brother and sister) at times.
On the other hand, I love claiming that Baby is my daughter, all the time.
This is Baby and I.
I was in my mom's baju kebaya as I didn't know our theme colour was turqoise
so I brought a maroon songket kebaya from KL.
Although, that maroon songket kebaya is my mom's too.
Heh heh.
Supertall and I.
My mom snapped this picture.
Supertall and I. Again.
But Baby shot this.
Tak nampak hape.
And I shot this.
My 'kesayangan's (loves of my life).
I'd kill FOR them and would kill to have 2 inches of his height
and half the depth of her 'lesung-pipit' (smiling dimples).
Short entry.
I am tired from (co-) driving. And hungry.
Most of the good banana leaf rice places are on holiday today.
Emmm, makan burasak dengan kari boleh tak?
Tapau Nirwana Maju's vegetarian chicken for lunch esok,
makan dengan burasak cicah kari, best jugak ni
('burasak' eaten dipped in curry gravy would fill my stomach happy).
Till I'm fed with my next curry..

I love this entry.
So much for the haters yg cakap you 'anak durhaka' la, tak ingat keluarga la, and all those crazy things they say about you.
Your mak memang sporting - tangkap gambar Supertall and you? Uish, my parents mungkin nak siap bersilat dulu baru nak jemput datang rumah, apatah lagi tangkap gambar..!
Love the pictures of you - nampak 'toned down', everyday look. And Ammar is so kiut gilaaa.... nasib baik I ni dah berpunya... keh keh keh...Tergelak kejap bila tengok muka Ammar. Ni la budak yg kena balik sekolah agama dgn Baby ye... ingat2 dah teenager, rupanya masih budak kecik gak. Masih umur yg tak nak seen ngan pompuan, esp. sister sendiri! So cute.
Maybe you have posted it before or explained it somewhere else but what is actually burasak? Sedap ke? Maaf ye org Johor if I tak tau (though my bro lived in JB since forever...
aiza:
Hi Aiza, thank you for seeing me as transparent as I portray myself to be. I'd like to think, what I share here is what I really am.
Iya iya, that's Ammar and he is one really handsome (bulu mata panjang lagi melentik!) and 'terang-hati' boy. Almost every prayer time he goes to masjid belakang rumah to sembahyang, even Subuh and without my dad. My mom said, he was 'made' in Mekah. Maybe that explains :)
kruel:
Yes I did and if you click at the link above burasak's picture, you'll find this post which I've copied the excerpt for you :)
'Burasak, untuk mereka yang belum pernah makan adalah beras yang direndam dalam daun yang saya tak ingat nama dia. Tapi bila dah siap direbus selama 36 8 hingga 12 jam (terima kasih kepada Kay), warna beras tu jadi hijau pandan di luar tapi putih dan lagi lembut dari ketupat dan rupa dia ada macam lepat pisang.
Kesimpulannya, PPSYH (Pada Pendapat Saya Yang Hina)
burasak jauh lebih sedap daripada ketupat mahupun lepat pisang
yang memang kegemaran saya.
Burasak TIDAK dimakan dengan rendang atau ayam masak merah atau lodeh. Burasak afdal dan bertambah keenakkannya bila dimakan dengan sambal ikan parang dan serunding kelapa. Jangan cuba meminta lodeh atau sambal kacang di rumah orang Bugis, nanti kena pancung!'
Hope that helps! But not every Johorean has tried it though. Only if they are Bugis and mostly live closer to southern of Pontian, most likely they have.
Hello Ninie, thanks for your reply. No matter how people portray themselves, I always like to believe in the absolute good in people. Naive ke? Just me kot. If you peel all the layers, all of us are the same : we hope, we dream, we love, we fear.
Ammar made in Mekah ke? Huhuhuhu....at first tak 'register', then it hit me. Hahahaa... sori la, lambat sikit tangkap. Maybe I kena buat headstand sket baru kepala clear... hehehe.... Hmmm...mcm adik I gak ni, solat tak tinggal, bangun subuh (even weekends!) siap ngan alarm clock lagi, walaupun the night before tidur lambat sebab buat homework. I ? Hmph ! Toksah tanya !
BTW, gambar raya kat rumah Supertall tak tunjuk ke?
wah..ade gamba ^_^
baby tu pencurik sate daging..penat queue utk dpt sate tp bila dpt, semua sate daging dia sapu tinggal ayam je :D
Hey there! This is a nice new look for the blog ! Love the new 'gambar besar Ninie' !!
I was hoping to see gambar Supertall pakai baju Melayu. Takde gambar beraya kat his house ke? (Hopefully dia pakai baju Melayu !!) ;)
You are always so humorous. Your have such a young baby sister. Must be the 'spoilt brat' at home. Seriously, I have not heard of burasak.
wow cool giler gambar header...nk toing leh? huhuhu
aiza:
I thank you for the kind comment(s)! Since I replied it at about 4 in the morning, unless you are not in Msia, I thank you for checking me out at ungodly hours!
Oh, I didn't bring my camera to Supertall's parents' house. Maybe next time? I can't wait for my next time :). His parents' are Supercool.
eyes of nabil:
Baby tak maluuuuuuuuuu!
veen:
Why thank you! I stayed up until 4am for this (no nightlife and no life)! He hee..
maisarah:
I afraid you'd have to wait until his wedding day to see him in a baju Melayu, heh heh. Dan rujuk jawapan kita untuk aiza bagi soalan terakhir itu ye? But one thing I can tell you, his house is Superlawa dan Superbesar!
yogajess:
Yes and she is my lifeline and my happiness. Don't worry, many of my Malay friends have not heard of it either :)
zara in germany:
Ha haa! Bila dah jadik official blog follower, kita consider dah 'toing' lah! Too late for you to back out now :D
do they have these in jb? even my husband has never heard of burasak and he lived in Johor for 4 years.
Hey hey, listen to this : all this time, kalau I start taip 'hati y...' (the first few letters of 'hati yoga') in Google, the search box always suggested 'hati yang rapuh', 'hati yang bersih', but never 'hati yoga'. But my diligence paid off ! ;) Now, kalau I start typing 'hati y...', 'hati yoga' comes back as one of the suggested terms !!! I am SO happy ! You must be happy too !! Tralalala... (menari gumbira. Keh keh keh) It is now part of the suggested terms in Google search engine ! (FYI, I use Firefox v3.0.3)
Cik Aiza, kalau dah parents tak suka dating nak buat camane. karang disobey kita pulak jadi anak durhaka kan? haha. Each parent ada batas dia. tak boleh la suka ati je buat.
Tgk saya ni, mmg susah nak romantik. Jumpa awek lama lama 'tak baikkk, anak dara orang tuh'. betul jugak cakap dia kan. So in a way, belajar la jugak respek pompuan.
although saya tetap kurang romantik. Kalau cik ninie tak pakai lagi firefly tuh, pass pass la kat sini ek.
ni, awat ah. Supertall takde baju melayu ke? tau la muka ala ala jepung sikit. pi majlis pakai baju raya :) baru ngam ngan cik ninie hah.
peace out.
ninie, I like your new header! woot!
hello ninie! supertall and you make a really hot couple. saw you a couple of times in delicious bangsar.
oh and i love your new banner. you is yoga-hot. lol.
Live life the way you want it to be. Keep on rocking :)

GEORGETOWN: Yoga, sejenis senaman harian yang kebanyakan pergerakannya berdasarkan unsur dalam agama Hindu, dipercayai boleh memesongkan akidah umat Islam jika mengamalkan senaman itu.
Pensyarah Fakulti Pengajian Islam Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Prof Zakaria Stapa, menasihati orang Islam yang mengamalkan senaman berkenaan supaya menghentikannya.
"Yoga yang berasal daripada masyarakat Hindu, menggabungkan unsur keagamaan dan penyembuhan jiwa kerana percaya yoga boleh menyatukan mereka dengan tuhan," katanya selepas menyampaikan syarahan yang Ajaran Sesat di Malaysia di Universiti Sains Malaysia, semalam.
HOW?? I baru ingat nak join Yoga...
Ninie, I think you need to teach someone what is Yoga all about.

Very disturbing news.
I've never tried burasak.
I'll make sure I give it a try the next time I head down to Johor.
Eid Mubarak!

Hentikan yoga, bimbang rosak akidah
Oct 29, 08 2:53pm
Pensyarah Fakulti Pengajian Islam, Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia Prof Zakaria Stapa menasihati orang Islam yang mengamalkan senaman yoga supaya menghentikannya kerana bimbang boleh memesongkan akidah.
zakaria stapaBeliau dilaporkan berkata demikian selepas menyampaikan syarahan Ajaran Sesat di Malaysia di Universiti Sains Malaysia, semalam.
Bagaimanapun Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan belum membuat keputusan rasmi berhubung senaman tersebut.
Majlis itu akan membuat keputusannya dalam tempoh terdekat, kata Jabatan Kemajuan Islam Malaysia (Jakim).
Yoga yang diperkenalkan sekitar 3,300 Sebelum Masihi dikatakan dapat membantu melambatkan proses penuaan, mengurangkan risiko kencing manis, darah tinggi, lelah dan penyakit berkaitan jantung.
Menurut Bernama lagi, amalan senaman harian itu kebanyakannya mempunyai pergerakan berdasarkan unsur dalam agama Hindu seperti manifestasi gerakan, konsentrasi dan posisi tubuh dilakukan sambil membaca mentera.
Bercakap selepas merasmikan persidangan Seminar Fiqh dan Pemikiran Islam Lestari di USM hari ini, timbalan ketua pengarah operasi Jakim, Othman Mustapha berkata keputusan itu akan diumumkan sendiri oleh pengerusi majlis berkenaan Prof Datuk Dr Abdul shukor Husin.
Seminar itu anjuran Bahagian Pengajian Islam, Pusat Pengajian Ilmu Kemanusiaan, USM dan Jakim, mengetengahkan konsep kelestarian pemikiran Islam yang berupaya merentasi cabaran bersifat kontemporari di masa akan datang.
Sejumlah 47 kertas kerja dibincangkan pada seminar itu.
Antaranya bertajuk 'Konsep Fiqh Lestari', 'Konsep Pemikiran Lestari', 'Kelestarian Dalam Sosial: Toleransi Agama', 'Kelestarian Dalam Sosio-Budaya', 'Kelestarian Dalam Sains, teknologi dan Alam Sekitar', 'Kelestarian Dalam Ekonomi' dan 'Cabaran pemikiran Islam: Islam Liberal'.
'Kelestarian Islam dalam Pendidikan', 'Cabaran Fiqh Lestari: Aspek Mazhab', 'Institusi Kewangan Islam: Zakat', 'Kelestarian Dalam Politik dan Perundangan', dan 'Kelestarian Dalam Institusi Kewangan Islam: Waqaf'.

before all of you make any decision to join or quit yoga, pergila research bebetul.
Yoga is not hinduism nor is hinduism not yoga.
And seriously, they dont chant mantras during poses. what rubbish are these people reporting? Do we really have news reporters or we just have people who write anything fed to them to put on paper?
The stretches are good. it will ONLY BE HARAM if you start to believe in another god or whatever blasphemous act.
But the stretches, the breathing, is what we normally do.
Sigh.
Laaaaa,mengaku jugak orang Pontian,letak gambar dan puji2 semua benda pasal Pontian.
Rupa2nyer entry pasal tak suka balik kampung tu sajer nak carik attention ke?
Memalukan................
burasak is so sedap, kan?? did u have it with sambal goreng/kelapa and rendang or with asam pedas???
hai ninie, i've been to ur vinyasa class ONCE at celebrity fitness and haven't got the chance to go there again due to some reasons. HOWEVER, having been reading your BELOG, haha, made me wonder if you are my lecturer's daughter, Mdm June (Junainah). Because your youngest sister, BABY, looks soooooo familiar. So, I'd like to know if your mom really is a lecturer. =D have a lovely day! hope to see you next time.
