Feed 2017

Salam 'alayk and heyya guys!

Currently it's past midnight and I've just done with my portion of group assignment.

Today since early morning after subh, I've been busy preparing for my sister's guests, the house, the food, yeah particularly the food. So many things to do, even with pre-prep some food like curry and masak merah. But even then, we barely caught up with time setting things and getting ourselves prepared (my sister especially!)

Later, alhamdulillah we managed to did it all. Nasi tomato and 2 dishes, acar timun, puddings, even some food that the guests were so generous to bring.

Guests do bring rezeki to us.

Aside from all that hussle and clothes reek of stir fry, I ate so much from today's eating session. The ayam masak merah was so good, that the moment I got it tasted on my tongue is the time I realised how much I've missed ayam masak merah. (am so tired of cafes food that i bought the same thing everyday).

Then the desserts! Cakes, brownies, and puddings! Too much sweetness that I got a bit worried seeing how the kids stuffed themselves with sugar. But its okay, (thank God!), everything was under control. XD


Anyway, long story shorten, I've ate so much, my stomach was about to burst and I feel like I could vomit if I jump up and down like the kids (how they can eat so much and still active? wait they didn't, really eat).

So, in order to empty some space in my stomach for dinner later, I rode on exercise bicycle after the guests have gone home. I exercised until it reached 10 km, only then I felt much better with my stomach. Goodness eating too much won't do any good (except for the satisfaction!)


Thennn after dinner cleaning and all, in the night, after we all got bored of Pahang vs NSE on tv9, my BIL gave me permission to take in charge of the screen. Oh well, but I didn't know what to watch.

But then there's this one movie caught my attention. Feed (2017). A bit creepy, and also a bit educating (I think?)

It's about a pair of twins. A girl and a boy. Both are living a good life, doing good at school, high achievers and all. And most importantly they shared almost everything, like schedules, friends, and dreams.

But it all came to stop when something happened, and it has affected so much to the girl, Olivia (Troian Bellisario). From a valedictorian, her grades fluctuated and dropped hard. She had hard time coping daily lives. She started hearing, seeing things.

That's just not it. The situation has worsen that it has transformed her to an aneroxic. This is where I think it's educating. Because the story shows that people have aneroxia not solely due to their desire to be 'beautiful' and 'slim'. It can be because of psychological problem. Something that they experienced, but others can't seem to detect it.

I've always thought that people who are aneroxic are those that are obsessed with being 'slim', and hatred towards fat. But no! Trauma can also cause this disease.

Wait! I'm sure you guys know what's aneroxia right? -it's an eating disorder.

So, since I've learned something new, from other perspective from this story, though it's a bit creepy, I'd give this movie a 4-star.

-it got a good storyline
-creative and soulful!
-opens up minds on aneroxia nervosa

I won't tell more details on this movie. You gotta watch this on your own and experience Olivia's sufferings!

(btw, it's the Malfoy acted as the male twin!)


Eat well guys!

Last weekend was a good and bad weekend for me.

Good because I got to spent times with friends whom I rarely seen or talked to and also with my sisters and BIL.

Bad because I've spent over my budget. *sucks being a student*


On Friday late morning my friends and I went for some breaklunch (at least for me) outside campus. It all started when this one friend, Syi, a fan of steamboat, wanted to try Seoul Garden at KL Fest with another friend, Mun.

Syi have been lots to steamboat restaurants before, and I believe she invited me to all of the events, but I happen to declined them all except for last Friday when she asked me to join her on Thursday.

So I said yes, partly because I've never eat out with her but once before during foundation, and partly I rarely eat steamboat. Once in a while won't hurt right?

Plus, I was planning to stay at my sis's house at Putrajaya, so I might as well spend the whole day outside, getting fresh, and clear up mind (and pockets).

Woke up late. Was frantic packing things. And thank God Syi and Mun was patience with me. I thought they were gonna left me that morning.

So at Seoul Garden, we had to pay RM35 each, and that's at stundet's price. We have to show our matric cards of course to give some proves. Oh, and that price is for lunch.

Ok, I know everyone have been to Seoul Garden and know that its pay per entrance and rows of buffet will flash at you. But I didn't. So I was pretty blur at first and what to do, what do I eat, what's this? is that clamps? wait it says COFFEE MEAT??? -could never eat that.

So yeah, we had our time there, pretty much spent 2 total hours just for eating, we ate the tomyum soup, grilled so much things, then ice cream and salads, it just never ends until our stomachs about to explode!

The tomyum is an o.k . The rest is, not good on my taste buds.


After we had our lunch, we spent some time a bit for shopping and handbags (WOOOT WOOOT) before we seperated for campus for them and Putrajaya for me. But we shared Grabcar till LRT Station. hihi.

Am actually glad they asked me out.


Then I went for my sis's, and it was actually late, I promised my sis to be at Putrajaya Sentral at 6pm, but I was late. Again. Then we thought I'd catch up the 1813 train from KL Sentral, but with me lining up at Chatime for her, and ran for ticket when they announced 2mins left for departure, I was flying down the stairs to the train, and THE DOORS CLOSED RIGHT ON MY FACE!

I was late by 3 seconds OMG! I pushed the button for the door to open but it didn't, instead the train pull in it's foot steps. I was so devastated with Pearl Milk Tea in hand but hide it inside in case the commuters were having a good day watching at my evening drama.

So had to wait for another 15mins and successfully gotten the train. With not-so-cold-anymore Pearl Milk Tea.



BUT it's okay! I don't really care about that, as long as my sis is picking me up and I'm gonna have the whole weekend with my family, YEAY!

Another is that I never forget that I am in love with her house. She and the husband bought it not long ago, so it was pretty new, and they managed to design it so well! However the most important thing is, THE VIEW!

Look at how beautiful the sunset! Seeing all this have reminded me on how powerful, and beautiful God is! Look at this God's creation! The sky has the perfect colour mix!

It's calming.


And not to forget these creations.

She was having ANTM's vibe right here, but totally failed. And I was just ruining the pic XD

Look alike, or nothing's alike?

However the pictures were taken with my Samsung J5, the camera is totally not the best. The pictures turn out different from what I see.

And do you know why? We, humans have 324 Megapixels, in comparison to my 16 megapixels camera at most.

Alhamdulillah for His greatest creation.

Ramly Burger, THE MALAYSIAN BURGER

Post on inspiring figures, entrepreneurs, or business empires.

Anywhere in Malaysia we can see trolley carts on the road side selling burgers with RAMLY pasted in front of it, or the label being used as the burger’s wrapper. The yellow coloured cart is definitely loved by all Malaysians, without doubt people would prefer buying burgers from that cart than any other sellers. That’s just how good and powerful Ramly Burger is towards Malaysians.

Everyone knows Ramly. It’s the brand that supplies burger patties, chicken or meat, or in supermarket we would find minced meat. It's the only brand that Malaysians are comfortable with, knowing that the products are halal, and of good quality. Plus, it’s not expensive. Anyone can afford them.

But do we all know the mastermind behind this fantastic brand?

Meet Dato’ Haji Ramly bin Mokni, the founder of Ramly Food Processing Sdn. Bhd. That doesn’t sound familiar? You know it’s important to know the great person that created Malaysian’s beloved burger. It’s okay, I’ll help you out.

Dato’ Haji Ramly has founded the brand in 1984, when he figured that it was difficult to identify halal meats from overseas for Malaysian Muslims. As he was also a part of the Muslim community, he founded an idea to counter the Muslims’ struggles of that time by producing his own beef burgers that people would be confident of its halal’ness’, production, and quality.

Ramly Halal Mart

So, he proceeded his idea through a small start-up business with an equally small loan from the Development Bank in 1982. Dato’ Haji Ramly, being the proactive person he is has worked hard since then to expand his company. The company now known as Ramly Mokni Holdings Berhad has expanded into few subsidiaries; Ramly Food Processing Sdn. Bhd, Ramly Mokni Marketing Sdn. Bhd, Ramly Supermart Sdn. Bhd, and Ramly Mokni Bakery Sdn. Bhd. Till this day, he has succeed in expanding his business to a commercial level.

Ramly's product range

From time to time, his company has also been granted recognition and awards by the Development Bank. They are The Best Project Award (1982), The Client Development Award (1984), Jaya Entrepreneur Award (1992).

However, success is not that easy to be achieved. Dato’ Haji Ramly was once rejected for his loan application by the bank before starting up. Not only that, he was also rejected by MARA (Majlis Amanah Rakyat) for the same application just because they thought Malaysian doesn’t love burgers. Nevertheless, he was high-spirited and continued his plan by using his own savings for the business start-up. 

That was a huge risk to take.

Then, with capital of RM 2000, Dato’ Haji Ramly produced his own beef burger manually at a flat in Kuala Lumpur. However, it did not work well at first because Malays were not into burger that time. To overcome the problem, he took another risk by expanding his business with more stall burgers around Chow Kit area. As the result, people were getting more interested in his burgers!

But of course one of the norms in business is some grapevine surrounding business being spread out! And Ramly Burger was about it being not halal and the business being sold to another party. Even so, it is proven wrong as the company has been going stronger through time until this day! The products are also confirmed halal by the JAKIM authority, so no worries.

Now after more than 20 years, Ramly Mokni Holdings has become sturdy than ever in the meat processing industry. It’s burger stall can produce up to 300 pieces burgers per day, and the factory produces 30 tons of meat a day!

Hence the annual sales recorded was up to RM 42 million! What a wow!

    

  

There is a lot more to talk about the inspiring journey of Dato’ Haji Ramly. What he has gone through in building his own empire and especially noting on how he started in small scale has given us a lot of values like patience and determination.

These two values surely are important for entrepreneurs.
