Daging Salai masak hijau

Belek2 kabinet dapur, ada daging salai yang mak buat hari tu...hmm yum2 ari tu x sempat rasa kan? kali ni, meh kita masak!

so, mak pon tunjuklah cara2 nak masak daging salai, ari tu mak buat masak lemak, tapi kali ni...mak sibuk jahit, so tinggalkan dapur tu untuk anaknya ni...memang sendiri punya resipi la noks!

my own resipi, ilham dari sambal hijau mak ika, negori katanya, 

dah namanya mak aku ni rajin menanam, belakang umah ada serai, tunggu apa lagi..

maka bermulalah resipinya: 

bahan2:

1 labu bwg besar,* 

2 ulas bwg putih *

6 batang cili padi *

2 batang serai dihiris halus *

1 cm halia *

daging salai (agak2 dgn kuantiti bahan)

2 sudu bsr minyak masak,

2 sd bsr susu cair

1 keping asam keping

*dikisar halus

cara2: 

1-panaskan kuali, masukkan minyak masak, dan tuang bahan kisar tadi, masukkan daging, masak sampai daging tadi empuk dan kering, boleh tambah air untuk cepatkan empuknya. 

2- bila dah kering, susu cair,asam keping, gula, garam, bhn perasa, sesuaikan rasa. 

3- tunggu sehingga susu kering sedikit,baru tutup api dan hidangkan.

gambarnya tak sempat nak snap, tapi baunya mengancam lah, mak yang dah kenyang pon tertarik-tarik nak makan. pedas, memang sangat pedas lah sebab letak cili hijau saja kan, so sapa yg nk kurangkan pedas boleh letak air asam jawa sedikit, nk bg masam n masukkan gula untuk sebatikan balik rasa.. 

Not a thing dat can make me okay.
Aziey sent a wassap saying 'Don't give up sayang!'
and I can't say I won't sbb I've did.
and the only one that I can trust is myself.
One who make someone else giving up with her own life. what should we call that?

Been busy lately, FYP-ing..
p/s: FYP - Final Year Project.
Ops....It is final year baby!

Well, talking about FYP, I am developing applications for dyslexia, specifically focus on teaching a dyslexic to write alphabets.And here's some knowledge about dyslexia.

FYI, Intro to Dyslexia.

1- Dyslexia or developmental reading disorder is literally defined as ‘difficulties of words’. The term derived from two Greek words, ‘dys’ which means abnormalor impaired and ‘lexis’ means language or words (McNair, 2009). 

2- Dyslexia is not a disease but a medical condition (News Straits Times, March, 16, 2009)

3- Dyslexia hinders language disabilities of a children such as reading, writings and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities as defined by World Federation Neurologist, 1986. 

4- Dyslexic is referred as an individual who suffers from dyslexia (Oxford Fajar, 2000). 

5- A dyslexic is not poorly taught, lazy or stubborn in fact they possess general or sometimes above the level of intelligence but experience a learning disorder (Maklumat Pendidikan Khas, 2005)

6- Dyslexic may find conventional classrooms is not interesting and always  find excuse of skipping schools. (Devaraj & Roslan, 2006).
