Egg bites for tea break

🍳 Egg Bites Recipe with a Twist. Made on 29 May 2025

This simple and satisfying dish was made on a calm Thursday evening using just six ingredients, all conveniently found in the fridge. Here's what I used:

🧾 Ingredients:

1. 2 Grade B eggs (104.5g, cracked and beaten)
2. 5.2g salted butter
3. 4.6g BBQ sauce
4. 4.8g Greek yogurt
5. 2 Ramly beef sausages, sliced
6. 4.6g grated cheese mix (Parmesan and mozzarella)

I used my waffle mold for baking, simply because it makes it easier to remove the egg bites once they’re cooked. Surprisingly, my friends said it looked a bit like mini pizza!

🔄 Prep Steps:

1. Mix the eggs with Greek yogurt and BBQ sauce.
2. Add in sliced sausages and half the cheese.
3. Pour into a mold (triangle or square) depending on your bread shape.
4. Drizzle chili sauce and top with remaining cheese.

🔥 Cooking Instructions:

1. Microwave for 2 minutes for a quick set.
2. Transfer to preheated oven at 150°C for another 2 minutes to crisp the top.

*Tip: Always preheat the oven before starting — it helps give that golden finish.

Arrange from triangle to square shape to accommodate bread shape.

After added chili sauce. 

After added last touch of grated cheese mix (Parmesan and mozzarella).

🥪 How I Ate It:

I paired it with whole grain bread for a fulfilling tea break. My colleague even had chili sauce dripping down his chin while eating and still finished it without complaint! (Normally, I’d be the one left finishing leftovers, so I consider this fussy-eater approved).

That night, I even went to bed early, feeling full and satisfied without needing dinner.

Until then, have fun experimenting with easy fridge-friendly egg bites. Great for tea breaks, brunch, or lazy dinners! 🧇🧀🌶️

Correct way to get Grab in Melaka Sentral

On the afternoon of March 15, 2025, I was at Melaka Sentral and mistakenly waited at the wrong taxi pickup area. Fortunately, a kind Grab driver picked me up and informed me that the correct waiting spot is at the taxi stand near Mydin, not the one facing Courts Mammoth. Ideally, after being dropped off by the bus at Melaka Sentral, I should walk toward Marrybrown to reach the correct location. Lesson learned. Thankfully, I arrived safely at my sister’s house in Durian Tunggal after a 30-minute drive with the Grab driver.

Until then, stay safe and ensure you wait at the correct pickup point at Melaka Sentral.

Meeting with old matriculation friend after his work

Captured on the evening of 20 May 2025, this moment marked a meaningful reunion with an old matriculation friend after his work commitments [1]. He was in UTM to evaluate Master's students from the Biomedical Engineering programme at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering (FKE) during the evening session.

Our previous meeting was on 11 December 2023.

His significant weight loss is clearly visible in this photo. I regret not documenting his last visit, but seeing his transformation now is a reminder of how unexpected changes can lead to blessings. With his improved health, he is now eligible to perform Hajj (Haji) next week, truly a blessing in disguise.

Until we meet again, may you continue to care for your health and well-being.

Review after using 6000 mAh portable fan for 2 days duration

This is taken on the evening of 4 May 2025. Where I managed to remember to take pictures of the used portable fan with capacity 6000 mAh. Have been using in for 2 days since 3 May 2025. Which I only charged it on the noon of 4 May 2025.

The few issues faced using this portable fan is:

Medicine for my cough

On the afternoon of 8 May 2025, I procured medications for a cough that began on Wednesday. The consultation with the pharmacist lasted under 30 minutes, emphasizing the importance of timely intervention.

Fortunately, by midday on 10 May 2025, I had recovered sufficiently to resume driving and fulfill my professional responsibilities. The coughing has subsided, and the phlegm has been expelled. I now enjoy mental clarity and restful sleep at night, despite occasional awakenings.
