Unrest~
i am angry that i can't do anything to help,
i am angry to the person who borrowed money from my parents and haven't paid a cent in return
i am angry that the person is making stupid excuses now thus before this he was making a stupid fuss to kill himself 4 being in debt
i am sad that i can't do anything to help now
i am sad for my family when i see the account statement today
i am sad that my father have to go through all of this when he is in age where he should be content in life and rest
i am sad that people kept taking advantage from other people as
i am sad that he lets them do it to him
i am so angry that i can't help
i hate this feeling
I am tired of waiting for a better day, dreaming that everything will be as it was

Maxis Broadband in Action~
I've watch The Golden Compass with Imran, just my type of movie- like it alot and can't wait for the next movie~ ++ craving for popcorns- GSC's is certainly better than TGV's... last Friday Adda, Aina & I went to Times Square in our conquest for a book ' Growing up in Trengganu by Awang Goneng' - for Adda's mum, found it in Borders. Unfortunately, the next day my mum wanted the same book, n MPH JJ was sold out- so have to wait a week for the order.. I, in the other hand have been involving in Mary Balogh books... Emon's the supplier.. hee.. Have read Slightly Married & Slightly Wicked- 2 days for a book.. results- dark circles- i'm a panda due to these romance books! aiyo...
13th December was along's birthday- Happy 31st Birthday Along! i've bought her present in advance- a pair of black peep toes shoes -while mine are white- we're a pair of shoeHolics sisters~ in theory, we've declared it's genetics - coz my mum is a true shoeszenbagHolic... hehehee... I have seen along since her birthday, today is abg long bro's wedding- abah, mama & im went to Tapah for the kenduri- so i sent birthday cupcakes i made yesterday -
Along's & Abg. Long's Anniversary falls on the same day :)
Mirzam, Adda and I went to Rantai Art Exhibition, near Pelita Nasi Kandar (KLCC) sketches, graphics arts and photography - tooks some pictures for you to enjoy!
Cute figure - made using plastersines- i'm not sure if the spelling's right
I like the second one best, the little girl with stubby hands as well as the third with the VW van, adda liked the yellow one~
The first thought when we saw the cubehead is Bashier- hikess.. they looked so alike.. stylewise of coz.. i like the whole setting, the sketches are so fine, although mostly doodles- certainly mind filling--
I watched The Holiday on HBO today, Jude Law is just so delicious.... hehe a light movie, but i like the meaningful words brought forward by Kate Winslet character...you'd have to watch it since i can't remember the exact words- what do you aspect from a hopeless romantic? it's the meaning that is left in the heart - Da~~

More baking & cooking...
Last Sunday i baked a trays of cupcakes for my studiomates~ The butter cream icing was better than last time- since was already tired- the colours turn out to be a bit vibrant- i actually prefer pastel colours. Somebody told me that when you get to a certain age- it's scary to eat colourful food- sorry! hehehe...
I you enjoyed em' even eating the cakes without the icing is enough- it's just that i love decorating em- if it doesn't rot i'd framed each of em- or stick it on the wall... i just ate 1- everytime i bake.. ikha seems to like it :P
Anyway- my dad been supporting my interest- he thinks i should open a cafe or bakery, at least i can design my own shop ;) i've so many ambitions- florist-baker-beautician... where should i put my ambition to be an architect? hehee... is it therE?
Spagetti Sauce Recipe
All need you need
Put some oil- in goes the onion
Next is the minced beef- fried till cooked Then goes everything else
Settled!

The Golden Compass!

My dears are all grown up~
Bubu and Lulu are only 7 months old, yet they've grown double their size and and geeting more fierce.. But they certainly can't resist bread and beans- hiks, sometimes miss the smaller version of the bunnies - since they were more huggable...
+++ lulu & bubu when we first bought them
( two weeks before i went for practical training)
Now, as abah call em' bread and beans, they are joyful enough to hop around the lawn, dig holes and playing in the rain.
BUBU likes to eat bread, don't like to be touch, and always the one who runs the marathon around the house when it's time to go in their pondok. But he still likes the camera-
- Bubu the miner have dug 4 holes in the lawn- each bout 1-3 metres long
- Bubu the explorer also have run out the gate and went exploring the neighbourhood before running back home when chased by a cat
- One fine day- bubu grazed a spot of grass in the lawn to fill the hole he dug
While the bean- LULU, loves being pet and eats a lot, always fall for food traps- can you tell the difference between bubu n lulu? bubu have a full ring up it's back while lulu have a white line between the eyes.
- Lulu loves to eat- when we bought him- im took the rabbit sitting in the food pan - no wonder?
- Lulu only eats kangkung leaves- the stalks? not a favourite
- We though lulu was a she- then we thought its a he - till know i'm still not sure - so i just call em- 'gay rabbits'

Dumpling or Gyoza?
Xi'anese really like vinegar- the dumplings where boiled and eaten with black vinegar+chilly oil dip- eikk... (above was the dumplings we ate in xi'an)
experiment 261107 : Chicken dumplings
Been a while since i've made wanton @ dumpling @ gyoza
used to fried em with fish filling- this time i tried using minced chicken + longbeans + carrots + 'sengkuang' + a twist of ginger-for the experiment today- i steamed some of the dumplings & some are fried - frankly, the fried ones are better as they have better texture- the steam ones are a bit dry, maybe better if eaten with soup-
++++these were the dumplings that i made

Cupcakes Madness~~
No... i'm not updating anything on my thesis... haven't touch a single inch of it..
I feel guilty for not doing so. Thou i've been helping wy dad with a project... it's still endless nights of work for me during the holiday... while occupying any glimpse of free time with baking~ hiks...
I tried a recipe of lemon merigue pie after watching bree baking it in desperate housewives. Made some triffle - the raspberry jelly layered with strawberry swiss rolls and custard. Last night i made cake batik and Cupcakes! it turns out lovely, i didn't have the heart to eat them, but the icing wasn't as nice as last time- the cakes was yummy as i used some yougurt in the mixture- taste a bit like kenny roger's muffin.. hehehe
how does it look? i saw a program on discovery some time ago about a food photographer, she took pictures for cookbooks and she had a project on cupcakes there was bee cupcakes, billard balls, rainbows and even a highrise skyline shoot- it triggered my cupcakes madness- at last i have the time to experiment! i feel so good~~ i'll bake another batch for any of your birthdays kay> insya-Allah

Catcity, in memory...
1st night in Kuching- dinner at Saddad Court (razi’s uncle’s restaurant) followed by a stroll along the waterfront + cruise along the river dlm penambang- supper at benteng (katenye best mee kolok?) – Ok ja-
2nd day- sunny side up! The gals head up first with Razi & Amir for a morning dosage of Laksa Sarawak- first attempt- best! – We visited the new Sarawak Stadium coz ajil is doing a study on stadiums- then off to the waterfront again for the gals- did some shopping; we went through all the small shops up to Tun Jugah while waiting for the guys (Friday prayers) –in the evening- went to DBKU, a panoramic view of Kuching- nice! - Then off to the library- I had a misunderstanding- why are we going to a library? Ne… heee- to feed the fishes... loads of em- lazy fishies waiting to be fed with freshly baked breads… had a candlelight dinner at the other side of the waterfront- then Razi & Amir drove the gals ghost-hunting (kononnyela) while the guys head back to awang’s to freshen up b4 their futsal game… outcome- the only effected was Tina with her bloody dreams;p
3rd day- as always, the guys were late so the gals head up to rojak kucei for breakfast (nyaman~@sedap) it’s a bit odd to pick up sarawakians vocab- just learnt some of it- I didn’t try so since I’d tend to speak Indon…Lunch at sugarbun- some sort of franchise food chain in Sarawak that served all kind of food. Next stop- pasar minggu (did I get this right, amnesia?) bought a wooden kitty and some souvenirs. Head back to Razi’s early since we’re having a bbq~ chicken-soto-potato-sosej-fish- razi also invited some of his friends. We bunk in early- tired… the guys when to watch some drag racing-
4th day- complot- the gals wake up early, razi n auntie drive us to Semenggoh Wildlife Centre- a chance to see a real life orang-utan. Back to Saddad for lunch, met with the guys n off to Damai- 30minutes drive from Kuching- a day at the beach- played amateur beach volleyball- swim-stroll- a captivating vista of santubong- my favourite activity, enjoying the misty ocean breeze facing the open sea- a piece of earthly heaven.
5th day- after breakfast, Shim & I went for a swim- end up with flushed cheeks n a pocketful of sand- we just love the waves. Check out and of to the cultural village, wrong timing- since we have to rush through the houses to catch the cultural performance- had fun at the melanau house- hiks- embarrassing moment at the performance- duhh… Stop at Damai look out spot for a drink while waiting for amir & alan to pick us up- Dinner at Saddad and ‘pusing-pusing roundabout-roudabout Kuching tgk rumah-rumah” since it’s our last night in Kuching- specially requested- mee kolok benteng- then head home to packup.
6th day- last day, rojak kucei again! Heee… went to satok- for UITM –usahawan ikan terubuk masin… the guys head to the waterfront to shop while we went to tun jugah for a drink. We then sent ikha, shim, adda, emon n zam to the airport since their fight is at 1325 while ours is at 1735. Razi treat us to a lunch at KGS, then off to batu 7, to pick up Mahdi’s tikar n for me to buy a tikar for shim. On the way to the airport, pitstop at taman sahabat, a nice park- snapped some photos with tina.
Balit naik belon…
Takkan lupa nyaman laksa Sarawak, mee kolok & rojak kucei
Naik moto jalan-jalan, lalu dua tiang putih
Favourite spot emon- flyover pertama Kuching
Tingkap razi yang berjase
Anjing yang suka makan kasut
Lawak gambir gmin
Nasi goreng manok? Malu sey~
Thank you to razi, amir, wan, alan the A4’s - that was gracious enough to withstand the these 14 culprits… kecoh in Kuching- a journey embraced
One day I’ll be back!

Lies
It's easier to lie, than to show
by lying i've save my pride & the situation from an awkward feeling
it's on my safe spot, it's suppose to be comforting
but i loose, i'm the loser...
by lying i don't dare to look into those eyes
by lying i'm tearing myself apart
i've lost my moments...
my last moments...
it's easier to lie
your presence does not complete me
your smile don't brighten my days
you are not who i think of each day
you are not facinating in your own world
you are not the one i've been learning for the last 10 months
I hope that i can believe my lies and forget...
Thank you, and i'm sorry m not perfect.

Monday, life's getting back to it's hecticness... i've taken some time off this mid term break to hibernate, since last sem break i was so busy... yet i've found out it is not in my nature to hibernate... like a topical cat trying to live a prairie rabbit's life. Just ain't me.... so been going back and forth to KAEDsince wednesday. :P
Thank you so much for the wishes.. through sms, testimonials, IMs and email :) really appreciate it! and i'm still in progress of reminding myself, how old i am..
