-----------------------

on other news,

the uhurm, college is doing something very, very, very unforgivable!!

you'll pay for sure, in one way or another.

I mean if we couldn't win here and now, there's always the thereafter, right?

and I'll make sure of it!!

p/s: did you know you can't enter heaven until you earned forgiveness from humans too!

sile lah EMO kan? mampos lah!!!!!

Roti Lepas Geram

so you know when someone (or a whole lot of people) pissed you off, and you're looking on a way to vent it out? Here's a suggestion, make a bread or something from the bread family.

I was making my own dough, when my mom came into the kitchen saying she want to eat Pau. So I turn it into a pau dough instead of a bun. haha

here's the ingredients;

500 g flour
100 g sugar
50 g butter/ shortening/ others
1 cup water
pinch of salt
yeast mixed with sugar and water.

sift the flour and salt, put in butter and sugar. mix till it become crubmly.

then add in the yeast and water.

it will become sticky and bit too waterry, so add in the water slowly.

when it finally taken shape and absorbed all the liquid. You can start the cursing.

curse all you want while pounding on the dough.

punch it, slam it, throw it in the air, scream your lungs out for a better feel.

when you're all out of idedas, thats when you can stop. the dough would be smooth to touch. very very tender from all the pounding. So let it rest for around 30 mins minimum.

then when it double up the size, pound it again.

smooth it out. the take some of the dough.

make it into a ball. then flat it out.

put the filling in it.

then close all the seams and shape it up like the pau you see in the shops.

steam it for 30 mins. and tadaaaa~

one of the best way to vent out your anger, exercise and get some good food at the end of it.

package kan?? haha. try it folks.

p/s: through if you're the type who sprays when you talk, do wear a mask because of obvious reasons. and you might want to use a metal bowl or something strong so you don't break those ceramic or glass bowl while pounding the dough.

Percintaan THM

Have you seen this ad? very the chomel!! especially when the girl said he's the boyfriend.

A HOT chocolate

remember this movie??



remember this guy??




remember what he did in the movie??

huhu.

He made a very delicious-looking hot chocolate that I just had to recreate!

so;

half a bar of Lindt 75% chocolate
one cup of full cream milk (stole some from my cat)
about 100 ml of whipping cream (it's a bit too much)
one pair of kit kat bars
two chunk of mashmellow (you could just put one)






grate some chocolate before putting the rest into the milk. bring to boil.

whip up the whipping cream till stiff peak.

spread the cream over the top of the hot chocolate. sprinkle some grated chocolate.

grill the marshmellow and put it ontop of the cream. top it with a bit more cream.

plonk in the kit kat bar. Serve.

weee~

***

actually, I chat about donuts with Milla today and I remembered the simpson movie. Was too late to make a donut or buy any, so I made the hot chocolate instead. hahaha

Promises

currently listening to: You Ought to Know by Alanis Morrisette

definitely haven't been blogging (again!!). I think I'll just settle for a weekly update until I get to cyberjaya again (where I can get the internet there without interruptions, huhu)

So. Last weekend, spent the night at Cyberjaya without even planning about it. Went to see the movies with Zaimi and Arief. Beowulf was superb! Funny thing was, I didn't even know the movie was an animation till I got into the cinema!! the trailer and posters were so REAL!! through it may be an animation, the story was great. I even got a creepy feeling when Angelina Jolie's character first 'visit' Beowulf. SO please GO and watch it guys!!

------------------

Anyway, slept at Arief house that night before rushing to Cyberjaya the next morning because they have the Meet the Parents ceremony. Mine's on the 1st of December. Meet most of the lecturers. Mr.Triple A was 'excited' to see the new hair. He said; " now you got your hair done! It's nice! (meraba my hair abit) why didn't you did it before the exams??!! it was very messy before!!". Howkeeeyhhh, tak perlu la komen camtuh! hahahaha!

Too bad the right person didn't attend the ceremony that day. Everyone was so geared to ask some questions but none exactly asks anything since the registrar is not there. Neither was the chairman. Wonder why they woulnd't want to attend the ceremony. I thought it was supposed to be a historic one. Since we're also celebrating the first ever Pro Exams result. With 100% pass and half of the batch got Distinctions!! Or was it because of the questi-... opps, sile bersangke baik yerr... (ayat Husna nieh)

enNuf said here.

-----------------

On Saturday,

Prof. Azam suddenly approach me and Arief and asks " So, are you going to come to Kuala Pilah tomorrow?"

We were speechless, looked at each other and just smiled until the whole situation got awkward. Prof. Azam then said he'd go to the corner there when a minute of silence had passed. Seriously, we didn't know what the whole thing was about. Bongok tak?!! The truth is, there was a fishing program organized at Kuala Pilah. We only knew about it later that day when we looked at the notice board.

Zaimi asked practically everyone he knew that night to confirm who's going to the trip. well, to make the story short; no one wanted to go either they have other activities, too far away, and examination the day after!! Morning came and Zaimi said there were only a few people who's going there. A few meant TWO people; Zaimi and Bahrin!! So I forgo the KLCC seminar thing-y and tagged along. Juena followed too. And we manage to borrow Prof. Asmadi's car to go there. We thought it was the usual Kembara, instead we got the CITROEN!!! gile tak?!! turns out Prof. Asmadi is currently in JAkarta and gave the keys to Prof. Ikram. Prof. Ikram said, Prof Asmadi said to feel free if you want to use the car. We don't really know if it applies to us too, haha... Bebe gigil okayh mase first time bawak the car/van/MPV while we at the back go jaggun checking out the car. What with the automatic door and the air cond and the seat. Huhuhu..

When we were in N9, we texted Prof. Azam saying we're coming. Prof. replied with " ... baguish la korang mai. Org Kampng dah sediakan makanan. 50 org." I was like; SHHITT-OO!! Is this for real?? showed the sms to the others and everyone was shocked!! We're the only ones whos coming and there were Kampung peoples preparing food for 50 people??? It was CRAZYY I tell ya. Juna replied sayingthere were only 4 people coming and there were no replies whatsoever. When we reached the placearound 11 am, Prof. was both furious and disappointed. He even let his rage on us. Who wouln'dt? There were tents and musics while the Kampung people were still preparing the food for 50 students plus themselves! They almost hunt the deers in the forest for us. Did I mention they climbed teh coconut trees to prepare air Nira and Air Kelapa Muda for us?? I really don't know who's to blame and I don't think I wanna know. there was definately some miscommunication here and improper planning. It was so terrible!! Plus, the Penghulu was going to come at 3 pm to say hello to the college students!!

MALU GILE OK!!!

So Prof. Ikram kerah-ed his mentee to come and Zaimi paksa-ed Azrol and the gang to come. So by the end of the day, there were about 16 of us. The villagers outnumbered us, but at least there were 16 instead of 4!! Prof. clearly was disappointed with the show ups.

It was sad, very sad indeed.

through, we DID make the most of it. We fished the whole day long. I only managed to get two fish in the first 3 hours and none after that. Gave up the fishing rod when Juna gave me the camera to snap some pics. But Prof. Ikram came to me asking why I gave up so fast. Then he took the fishing rod, put some of the 'dedak' and cast away. within minutes something was caught by the hook. I was going to snap some pics witht he camera but he told me to hold the rod and reel in the fish! I was like, okayh... buat je lah. Katelah die semangat gile when I reeled in the fish. when the fish was finally on land, he told me to wait while he get some pictures. He cast the fishing rod again and when the fish is caught he gave it to me. He did it so many times until I forgot about Juna's camera and got into fishing again. Sweeeettt tak Prof.??

We ate the fresh-charcoal-burned-fish like there were no tomorrow. I almost never eat fish. I hate fish. So IF you ever caught me eating fish, that means it's delicious!! And this time I was hungry for more!! We packed our things by 7 pm and went to the owner of the fishing pond. Spend some time there until it was 9 pm and went back home along with Prof. Ikram. We stopped by a restaurant to cook the fish we brought home. 2 Talapias were grilled to perfection while 2 Patins were cooked Tiga rasa. Both were gone in minutes! We even forgot to take the pictures of it. Haha, so there won't be much pics since we were too busy fishing before and forgot about the camera until it was too late. sigh~ Owh well..

Hope everything will go smoothly next time (if there's even going to be a next time)

And Thank You to those who came!!

Reen's Wedding

Qada' photos je... huhuhu


the stage looks awesome, huhu

First Chocolate Truffles

Owh, almost forgot..

this is the truffles I made for Milla's birthday. Was supposed to find a box for it, But in the (kelam-kabut & time restraints punye pasal) I plonk it into a plastic container instead and gave it to her!. hahaha

tadaaaaaaaa~

from the side. trying to be artistic, haha.

I followed the exact recipe this time, but I don't really like it very much. The testers said it's okayh and Milla said it's delicious. But I think some tweaking is in order here!

Tim-Tam truffles. But it's too cheesy for me. will reduce the cheese next time


Supposedly the shiny truffles. I forgot NOT to put it in a fridge as it will loose the shine. waaaah!!
~~~~~~~

well, at least she liked it. But cannot lawan her 'suprise' cupcakes!! Bebe... nak jugaaaaakkk!!

Of Household and Addictions

currently listening, eh smelling to: tumeric (kunyit lah..)

It's all over the house. My mum got her 50 kilos of tumeric to play with. My mum really likes to make things from scratch. Even the tumeric powder is homemade. She usually buy the stuff in HUGE proportions, processed it herself (washing-drying-grinding) and send it off for packaging. Kalau boleh she wants to grow the thing too. haha. It means 100% pure tumeric powder unlike those sold in the stores. And a lot of people will buy it mind you (thats why she bought in kilos). We've been doing it for years now. I think it runs in the family because another relative makes curry powder while some makes bukhary powder. then they would sell it to anyone who wants it. SO, my family kinda like runs a rempah factory, hahaha.

--------------------------------------------------

The pets are acting up.

We got a new member to the house. A new rabbit. Named Jebblus! (tak boley blah la kan) we got it for our fatty bom-bom Jenab since her partner died long ago due demam-main-hujan. It's still very tiny, but have a BUSSHY hair. Very the manje, like to cuddle up.

but,

It's kinda bongoks because it pissed in the house!! All of the previous pets somehow know not to urinate or beraks in the house (terrer kan?) but this little one just don't get it. So maybe it won't be allowed in the house till it knows not to do those things.

and,

My cat had merajoks for the past few days. She got herself a box (stole it when my mum wasn't looking) and won't come out.

Then Jenab, got all moody since day one Jebblus came to the house. She throw her food around. stomps the carpet, ruin a curtain (first time okeyh die marah gile) and will try to bite off Jebblus if she get a chance too. Shit. Jebblus was supposed to be the laki. matilah ko Jebblus! (Jenab is 8 times bigger than Jebblus) Even I was afraid of her in the past. huhu.

Me mum say theyr'e just jealous because of the newcomer.

now...

My cat is kinda accepting Jebblus. She got out of the box today, but Jebblus the bongoks will run away when he sees her. Jenab is still acting up, and she's kinda in depressed state. SHooOOt... depression can kill you know.

sigh.
----------------------------------

okayh...

I've been lazing off all day. So. I thought I could do a post or two, no?

One thing for sure; I can get hook to anything once I started something fun. But I can also get unhooked easily when the pattern is disturbed. It's like you get all wild on this fast never ending train ride, but the minute you jumped off, it's so hard to catch up with it again. For example; blogging. I got back home for a few days (and withdrew from blogging) and it's so hard for me to start blogging again. Plus, there's that no-camera factor which makes my attempts to write up a few raya parties and one historic wedding feels so bleak. Coffee's another case too. I no longer feel addicted with coffee. sigh.

but hey, the blogging addiction is hard to be erase. Especially when your friends are actively updating almost daily! Tercabar okayh... hahaha

So what have I been up too?

1. there's that Raya & post-PRO party
2. and Reen's wedding
3. and an off the date Raya open house

but I'll just leave it there. I'll upload the photos when I get some. A photo speak a thousand words remember?

Anyway,

got bored today, so I went to the kitchen to cook up something. The result?

one chocolate pudding which was deem too lemaks by my mum.

20 coffee chocolate truffles still in the fridge to set.

a box full of the sweetest strawberry (lucky!!) dipped in chocolate fondue.

notice how all of them have chocolates in it? hahaha... yes, ladies and gentlemen. I'm officially addicted to chocolate again. And they're all delicious, well if you could excuse the pudding (I had to finish off the whipping cream, so I just dump it into the pudding, haha!!)

and it was all thanks to this cookbook borrowed from one hamba Allah;

GREATEST EVER CHOCOLATE
- easy & delicious step-by-step recipes

too bad I can't find a picture for the book. It provided a lot of inspiration for my cooking. And this time, I'm tweaking the recipes according to my style again. The last time I followed an exact recipe, it was not up to my cup of tea. One more good points in tweaking a recipe is that I can post the recipes because it's not exactly from the book (copyrights thing-y)

Too bad I can't put up any pictures of the things I made. Ahh, the pains of no camera!! Does anyone have a spare camera they don't wanna use anymore? give it to me! please...

P/s: When we passed the PRO exam, Prof. Latif said our parents should buy us a PDA and a gift. I think I know what I want now. huhuhuhuhu ^__^

--------------------------------------------

Watched No Reservations just now.

It was a very sweet movie. I'll just stop there.

But I do recommend it to everyone especially if you're into one C. Zeta Jones.

---------------------------------------------

the tagg will have to wait, hahaha

WAAAAARrrRRGGHHHH

Benci lah...

I wrote a Raya post twice!! and then the whole house kene lightening!!

So everything was wiped out in a second. At 3 'O clock in the morning.

Raya, Here We Come!!!

Yea... the Raya mood is back (somewhat lah... hehe) I'm no longer suffering from that nausea (so, here comes cooking!) So I can stomach loads of food again! *yeay*

Here's yesterday's photos


sebelum makan


wuaha... candid ok! sorry arip! ^_^;


kenyang je, start lah sume gile nak bergambar!!


the guys posing


sile tgk zaimi sahaje!! aahhaha


cyberheights people, muke-muke gile camera.


gaya bangau. sape paling jadik??


zaimi kene langgar dengan overnyer


the whole gang with muke psychiatrist :)

Let me just say that there was not enough buttons for the baju melayu. I only had 3! So, if someone were to ever found out I wore like this, matilah aku!!!




so, that's yesterday. Today there'll be two houses for us to serbu.

JOOOMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------

one special note:

despite our bickerings, and troubles. Despite our different sets of thinking, we are brothers and sisters. I've never felt a stronger bond in any other institution besides that we have in cucms. So no matter what people say, we should support each other. Trust me, I'm supporting you all with my whole heart!!

Wait, Is It Even Possible??

When a writer can't really write anything, it's called a writer's block. So what if a chef can't cook anything? A cook's block?? hehe

Seriously,

I can't cook anything right now. It's all due to my latest condition. I have lost of appetite and frequent spells of nausea. I can't even look at a creamy cake without having to hold myself from puking all over the place. So how can I even cook, and taste food for that matter?? how can I even eat?? For the past few days, all I have been eating is half a plate of rice and plenty of water daily. Serious I'm going to be so thin, I'll cease to exist!!! And if I were to take in more food than that, I'll start getting dizzy and nausea until I can't really talk and I'm forced to lie down.

this is really shit-iously sick!!

I want to eat!! I want to gain weight, not lose more!! And most of all, I want to celebrate raya after the exams!! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaa!!!

I want to cook!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!

hope I'll get better by next week! Until then, the choco production will have to wait... (sigh)

---------------------------------------------

I don't know why, but I've have been thoughts of having kids (gile kan??) lately. First I thought none is the best. Then maybe just one kid. But then he'll be lonely and even spoiled by the parents. So maybe two is enough. Too many kids and you'll end up failing to buy your dream car when you get old. Seriously, I learned that from my Prof okayh!

Want to blame it on the hormones but then again, I want them for all the wrong reasons. One of them being I want to have an excuse to buy those kids furniture. I'll also need some kids to be my food tasters as I love making sweet foods/dessert and I don't think the wife would be willing to swallow all of them. (matilah anak aku sume gigi rosak nanti!!)

----------------------------------------------

Owh, congrats to all of the first batch students for finishing the second year and everyone passed the Professional Exam!! That's a huge relief :)

-----------------------------------------------

Plans for Raya (hope I'll have enough room to eat :P):

Raya at CUCMS
