my rabak-tengah chocolate cake and nice looking cookies

kotak yang dah siap adunan cookies, tinggal bakar aja. :D

ini hasilnya. easy-peasy kan?

adunan ringkas chocolate cake : the mixture, 3 eggs 125g of butter and a bit praline hancur

hasilnya, the chocolate 'rabak tengah' cake.

rilek aje lubang tengah besar camtu. tak kisah la kan?

i'll update sama ada sedap atau tidak lepas berbuka puasa nanti. daaa.

chocolate cake and cookies

friends, i am baking a chocolate cake and some cookies right now. nanti bila siap, i'll post the pictures immediately. i was pretty excited in sharing with u guys the process of doing this until some people just have to jump into the process and spoil my mood.

i have reasons why i like to cook or bake alone. now everyone has to know. coz ko kalo tak bake apa2, malah tak pernah try buat apa kat rumah ko, boleh tak ko jangan sibuk nak komen kek and cookies aku as if ko pandai sgt. kalo ko memang pandai, pekata ko buat sendiri ikut style ko sendiri.

ni sambil aku sembang dgn mak aku, ko pon sama sibuk nak nyampuk, ko pun tetiba tahu la jugak, sibuk nak komen biskut and kek aku masa sembang dgn mak aku kan? kecoh arr.

and my mum pun satu. tetiba nak bagi cadangan yg agak too-late-for-that and i dont like it. to me, baking or cooking is MY BLOODY ADVENTURE. and i am quite fine taking the road less travelled. aku okay aje not having the penguli utk uli the dough. aku okay aje takde mixer to mix my bloody cake. aku pukul pakai sudip kayu, rilek aje.

and i am quite fine testing the cake with my bloody huge knife tanpa batang sate utk cucuk cake kat tengah. then mum said, owh pakai toothpick then. then i said, mum i dont have toothpicks. then mum said, owh lain kali gi restoran curik la toothpick sket bawak balik. like helllllllllo, am baking here. and obviously takde cara aku nak curik toothpick kat mana2 restaurant at this hour.

so deal with it la kan me testing the cake with the knife. BIG DEAL ke? pasal tu la, selama ni i never like cooking or baking anything at home. since i am living alone right now, suka hati aku la nak masak camna gaya kan? and i m quite fine not having some typical, normal, must-have items for baking cake. i'll make do with whatever i have. sebijik macam kalo kita pegi camping la kan?

it is my adventure. totally my adventure. i'll do whatever i want. sedap tak sedap it's ME who is gona eat it.

hello ramadhan

Hello friends, hello ramadhan! today is my very first day of fasting di perantauan. never had this experience before. (ops puasa ganti pernah la kan, but puasa ramadhan ni kira first time la :D)

anyways, untuk mengisi masa lapang, i am making an attempt to buat kuih pau using the kukus my mom stashed together with all my kotak2 aritu in my cargo. so, this entry is gona be my real-time update of my attempt.

frankly friends, i tak pnah buat kuih muih ni. the only one time i baked anything was my chocolate cake, and that was last year. takat tolong mak buat kek, nenek buat kuih, i dont count them as an attempt pon. haha. i am kokak like that.

anyways, come ramadhan, my feminine side has awaken and daripada tgk kukus tu tak buat ape dalam cabinet, i decided on doing this PAU PROJECT.

(saya tgh tunggu air menggelegak ni, tapi tak gelegak jugak, camne? bunyi mcm dah gelegak dah. tgk air mcm tenang aje. damn.)

ok, gambar di atas adalah bahan2 nya. yes, yes u noticed that A4 paper eh? the issue here was there was no tracing paper or kertas minyak around here. i have no idea where to get them so in the end, i got this kertas A4 instead. and in carrefour, only that stack aje yg ada. yg lebih nipis takde.

if u noticed far back of the picture, ada gambar air mineral. that happen to be apebende penggelek dough tu? hah, jadi itu la dia. huhuh.

seterusnya, ini la rupa paras pau-pau saya tgh tunggu giliran nak masuk dalam kukus tu. yang kaler paling comot tu, if guys could guess, would be my very first pau. salah estimate inti la yang tu. huhu. and obviously as u can see, kertas A4 telah menjadi alas pau-pau tersebut ;) kreatif tak?

gambar bawah ni, the paus have been arranged nicely in the kukus

ini la gambar pau saya yang saya saspek dah jadi ni. hehe. i hope sudah la. no idea. kena tunggu lagi 2 jam to know whether menjadi atau tidak pau saya ini. huhuhu.

ok people. selamat bersahur la kot in Malaysia, and selamat berbuka pada kawan2 di perantauan. saya ingat nak tido dulu before ke party berbuka puasa rakan2 bujang ;)

i miss u people and acara berbuka and bersahur sampai lebam!! :)

owh, nanti saya update pelancongan saya di Porto, yg sgt membahagiakan ye. cheers!

spot the odd

friends, i was chatting with my mum just now, and she was asking, mana gambar rumah kaklong. and i remembered maybe i havent shown her any sbb previously rumah kan selerak kan. not that its ultra kemas now, but it's better looking la obviously. :)

anyways, ini la gambar hall saya that i gave my mum thru mail. yang lain sume gambar luar rumah that i gave her. so friends, guess what was the question she asked about the pic?

Mana kaklong dapatkan sofa hijau tu?

(nope)

*

Cantik lampu hijau yang matching dengan sofa tu. murah ke?

(nope)

*

bila beli tv tu? camana angkat balik rumah?

(nope)

*

nape rak buku sebelah kosong sebelah penuh?

(nope)

*

apsal kaklong tak pasang carpet lagi?

(nope)

*

u know what she asked?

kaklong ambik gambar dgn sapa tu yg seksi tu? with another girl?

and i was like, whaaat?! gambar apekah that i just gave to my mum kan? i pon skimmed thru my sent mail la kan. dalam 10 gambar i gave, takde satu pon i pakai seksi. takat pakai skirt biasa la kan, itu pon amek dgn Taz, iaitu seorang lelaki.

and i said 'mum, i still havent got the slightest clue gambar ape yg mummy cakap seksi tu?'

and she said ' tu gambar kaklong dgn sorang girl tu in the frame tu.'

and i was like terburai gelak okaaaay. gambar dalam frame yang ada didalam rak buku, yang didalam gambar itu, yang mak aku nampak. ko boleh senah???

nak terburai gelak, but tak lama, coz after that, mummy telah tukar topik secara subtle kepada cerita gambar bunga2 di depan rumah saya. ko boleh senah???

so, korang nampak tak gambar i yang seksi itu bersama seorang girl di dalam frame di dalam rak buku itu di dalam gambar di atas itu? hehe.

mak gua intelligence beb. :P

H1N1 and (not) Me..

today, i still have sore throat. i had sore throat on wednesday and i went to a clinic on Thursday. I only had running nose and no fever and no coughing. by yesterday, i was coughing and i have greenish phlegm.

Masa gi jumpa doktor, she said this is not H1N1. and i asked her, how could she tell (dah tanye, baru rasa mcm bengap gila soalan. nama pon ENT specialist kan. huhu) and she said, lepas tengok lubang idung awak, phlegm awak watery, bukan greenish or yellowish, sbg indicator whether it was an infection or not. maka, ubat yang diberi was only for my running nose (tablets), a nasal spray for my congested nose and a mouth spray (untuk kerongkong gatal, bleh?). dan sekeping MC yang mula2 dia takmau bagi, tp since my boss said its best if i dont come to office, so i requested for one. huhu.

anyway, sampai aje ofis today, i have running nose again. adakah sbb asap2 that i have to tempuh sepanjang naik tram ke ofis? maybe that, and my throat masih gatal2. i thought of calling the doctor again and make an appointment for petang ni, but i hate the idea that sekadar consultation pon will be charged 50euros and utk mendapatkan ubat, its not at the medical centre. i have to go to the pharmacy di tempat lain for my (maybe) cough syrups.

so, do u think i should go to the clinic atau beli cough syrup sendiri atau minum air asam jawa kali ke-5? kalo nak kasi cadangan minum air kosong byk2, i dah minum cecah 3L setakat ni ajek.

u give me something

When I met you, you were so unique
Had a little thing I'd love to keep
Every movement carried so much mystique
I knew right then I'd carry on, to you I knew my heart belonged
You, you give me something
Something that nobody else can give
See my heart, has started thumpin'
You're the one I truly know I dig

Like the sunbeams from a perfect summer's day
Heaven only seems a step away
When I'm with you, I just celebrate
I'm hoping my message gets through
There's never been someone like you

I had nobody, on you I would lean
Cos you got these little things that
I know I've never seen

You, you give me something
Something that nobody else has got
And this love, that I've been wanting
Oh baby's turning out too fast to stop

You, you give me something
Something that nobody else can give
See my heart has started thumpin'
You're the one I truly know I dig

pasangan hidup

saya mahu boyfriend seperti dia laa :)








hot tak? ;)

friends, i know, it's about time for me to think of settling down. i always prayed for someone to just sweep me off my feet and ask my hand in marriage. like wow! drama orang putih sgt kan?

but in reality, when it actually happened, i chickened out. i still think COURTING is important. but then, is that my actual problem? or i actually have someone else in mind but nothing is going on between us?

owh yeah i know, buat solat istikharah kan? ermm, that has to wait til a few days. it's the time of the month. heh. nevertheless, what's your take on long-distance relationship? for me, i can't deal with that. if it's not him, it's me that i don't trust. hehe keji tak?

ok la kawan2. kalo ada jodoh, ada la kan? heh. so, cacah, u can start planning now. hehehe. owh anim, you too ;)

do u mind losing?

am watching this tv documentary on discovery world. tgh tgk paddington train crash. tak sure pulak tahun bila. but was listening to the passengers reliving the moment both trains crashed head on.

and that lady said, 'i was just closing my eyes tightly, i wouldn't want to lose my eye sight" or something like that.

and at that moment, it occured to me, if, i was given that choice, if i was in such accident myself, from all this senses i have, what would be my sense/organ that i would like to save?

at first, i thought, this woman is smart, wanting to save her eyes. and she didnt mind of losing anything else, so that she could still see the world she lives in. but then, later it occured to me, would it be enough just to have the ability to see? dont u need your hands more? wouldnt u need your legs more? or your ears? or your brains?

what would be best? to be blind but u could at least walk and shake hands, or being able to see the world and your kids growing, but have no hands to cuddle them or legs to walk with them?

*

by now, i guess u should have realized, just like i did, that u would not want to lose anything u have. this is a choice that u can never make.

i just have to be grateful that i am okay, blessed with everything, and moga dijauhkan bencana seperti ini.

i have no answer for this.
