Baking~!!

Thanks to Yatoque's gift, an oven; I was able to complete my three WANTS this year. TV, sofa, oven..in that order. Alhamdulillah, that's all settled in a mere two months. :D That was what I've been chanting WANTS, not those who suddenly (magically!) appear~!! ahaks. But, that'll be another post!

:)

I want to share about my baking project!! To date, I have already baked 2 batches of Diamant Vanille (will share the recipes on the next next post!) and also 1 batch of cupcakes (cheat with muffin mix <--yes, I'll redeem myself in the next batch! :D) with the oven. And, to tell the truth..I think I'm already hooked! Hopeful for a better results next! I always have problems with muffins or cupcakes, and my my..this first try with the new "old" oven can be considered a success!! All my 18 cuppies gone~! Yeay..That includes the 2 cuppies I saved for tea date with Yatoque later..and, actually I do feel a bit guilty cause I did not bake enough :(

Oh, actually I always wonder on how to do the topping and I've been looking and gawking at those pictures of cupcakes with topping & frosting that looks soooo delicious and fattening~ haha. a beatiful mess blog also does not help either when they always, I repeat always post their baking projects!!! I'm always green with envy looking at their blog. hehe. Just look at their posts on cupcake mixology and frosting basics. That's just on baking~!  They have like projects and projects that makes me want to do them all, but time is what I don't have. So, I just stick to what I do best..relax! Haha..Let's see bits of their pictures.

Nah, that's why I'm trying to bake and attend baking class (have to limit on this though). Oh, did you know, I'll be attending class next week by Caramel Factory again!! :) This time, it's going to be biscuits, even the bagel class do sounds enticing!! It's a special short class with menu, Starbucks Style Chocolate Chunk Cookies! Hehe, see what's caught me? So, I hope this class will be a very short one, because my parents are coming!! The biscuits gonna be my treats for them..oh, and the family~!

Err, about the topping, I think I've managed to do the simple recipe found in my recipe book (I have to post about this book, someday) as I forgot to buy ingredients of Kak Hazit's recipe of Chocolate Buttercream topping. :( Sounds delicious, yes? For the next one, I'm trying out the recipe to go with vanilla cupcake (Kak Hazit's go-to recipe too :D). I'll update my pictures of the cookies and also cupcakes, later!! :)

still in baking~

nomnom~

have to get piping~! :>

Oh, I'm currently in my process for the DIY vanilla extract. :> will definitely update on how it turns out!

ok, dah..jom buat kerja~! This week I have extra one and half day of leave, one being a public holiday (Pertabalan Agong) and half being my another half day from last Friday!! I'm going home!! yeay! I might try to have a date, but we never know. :)

Just a quick one!

If you know me, I'm the most un-organized person, even when I try to be one. :>

So, following advise from Nubby from her post Organization Methods: Tips and Tricks from A Virgo (from ages ago); I'm very determined to be organized for a bit. Ok, maybe not solely from her..I'll take some bits and pieces from my dear hommie/bff advise too (who's a Virgo, too!). Oh, nampaknya memang si Virgo memang seorang yang organized~ hehe and also, my Capricorn bff. :) and of course, internet! Informations' heaven.

As, I want to invite them over, someday. And that someday was too long ago..Hence, I MUST do something. So, this weekend is my HOME time.

DAMN GOOD ADVICE

(for people with talent!) by George Lois. Hehe, seems like a very mad book! Yes, I got the book yesterday because of the promotion. Bought it with Azlina, and with the promo of 50% for second book and also another 10% off because of Borders card, we end up got the book for a mere RM20!! A very good bargain!! Yes, I'm mad now..haha.

Speaking about mad, I came to know about a series, Mad Men, just going to it's 5th season in US yesterday because of Joanna's post on the Mad Men Love. The clips of Don Draper saying "What" was just freaking hilarious and awesome at the same time. Hehe. Well, could be in my list to watch, dapper! Hopeful for a not busy year. Yeay, right! Oh, let's see the face of Don Draper, and the video shall we?

Ok, back to the book..DAMN GOOD ADVICE~ I just read a few pages, and it seems interesting. I hope I could finish it up quick and grab the very DAMN GOOD ADVICE :) George Lois seems a very very mad man..and, the Esquire covers does have an aura in it.

The publisher is Phaidon, and the cover of the book is just like the one by Paul Arden..wow, I love!! Psst, that's the post draft about. Ah, I hope I have the will to post about that. For now, I just enjoy the new book, and maybe, the new found old series.

On another notes, it has been quite a week for me. A few weeks back, has been down..and then up again. A few bad news and more good news. Alhamdulillah :) Now, I'm a happy woman, not so mad.

Surat untuk awak.

Dear Awak,

"I was born to love you..with every single beats of my heart"-Freddie Mercury

I always believed that..and I hope someday, yes, someday you can see that. Well, I always love you, kot..definitely with every single beats of my heart. :) Since, from that time when I was still young and naive (eh, I still am-lah..young and naive..ok, maybe not so young and not so naive, but I'm still that girl that would sheepishly giggle and "malu sendiri" whenever I see or even talk to you. OK, even fb-chat with you. :D 

Yes, I want to tell you this. Oh, how I wish you're already married so that I can at least moved on. But, being as stubborn as I can be, I would not budge this feeling until you at least married or whatever. But, if you are married to me, of course the feeling would be cemented in my heart forever. *wink* And, if there are never us, that would heartbreaking (totally!); but, I will be strong enough you don't have to worry about me. 

Last four years, at this date..if you remember, I have asked you a question. You must have felt how crazy this girl are. Well, I am at that time. Crazy over you. :p (OK, still am~) Then, I wait and wait..till I dont know what I'm waiting for. I thought I don't have to ask again, I mean, maybe you're married, have someone special and all..That's the line I won't cross. I won't get in between someone's marriage or relationship, not you..not everyone else. 

This year, my heart begs me to ask; but my head's thinking rationally..huhu. Until now, the head oblige me NOT to ask. Maybe, I won't ask at all. And then, blank! I just got back from hours of finding the perfect Fiyero on youtube. Sorry. I was blank, I don't know what to do. Sometimes, I just wonder why don't you just say no. hmm..eh, you did! But, I did not accept the rejection and bounce back. Ah, I'm blank again..great! I mean, you did say no, but in my heart that does not feel right. It is not like NO-NO, when there seems to be something more in this. Am I a fool to think that you even like me? There, I said it. 

Now, I really don't know what to say. I should stop this now.

Have a great leap day!

DIY vanilla extract

I have 2 pods of vanilla beans..huhu and yet to do something about it. Then, I saw this at abeautifulmess.typepad.com and I was excited to try it out, and the ingredients are as simple as vanilla bean and vodka! Huhu..but, as a Muslim, I cannot consume liquor..:(

So, I searched for alternative of vodka, and found that glycerine will do just fine. Hmm, what is that? I'm a bit sceptical about it, I mean what would it taste like, would it be good enough, etc. But, I hope the soon-to-do extract would be nice! So, I can use it for baking cookies, cakes, and all the desserts that I could get my hands on. :)

See how beautiful the extract is..

Till the next update, y'all!

p/s: Where does they got all the beautiful bottle eh? huhu..always a cute one~ I like~!!

A very short trip to Singapore.

Alhamdulillah, perjalanan pergi dan balik ke Kota Singa lancar. :) Pertama sekali, terima kasih tak terhingga kepada Fila, my dear bff. Well, we can conclude the short trip was a success. Here are the snippets (at least some of it):

1. Yeay, awake at 4.20am..check!! (ok, sepatutnya bangun pukul 4am ye. sedikit lewat)

2. To LCCT at 5am..check!! both Fila and me was so in time to get ready..I like~!

3. Arrive at LCCT about 5.45am kot..sampai2 terus carik surau..Subuh katanya. :)

4. Sedikit kekeliruan berlaku di sini. Rupanya Gate to SG sudah bertukar tempat baru dan di dalam tiada surau..and no toilet!! So, have to settle of our business before document check and customs. Alhamdulillah, selesai solat dan a very "pantas" breakfast!

5. Get to the boarding gate and wait till they let us in the flight.

6. Around 7am we got in and sit, and my my..the aunties in front and also at the back of us was sooooo chatty. We need our sleeps :( So, have to bear along the flight.

7. Yeay! Arrived at Changi airport around 8.20am. Get ready and swoosh we go to Orchard to find stuff for Yatoque.

8.  It takes us almost 1 hour from airport to the city..after how many train changes. lalala.

9. Got lost a bit to Lucky Plaza and the shop..hehe. Luckily, we got what we come after and Victoria Secret body mist!! Hooray~!! 

10. Breakfast + Lunch at Rasa Indonesia..hmm..betul ke tu? ekeke lupa plak..Fila have Ayam Bakar and me, Dinding Daging. *lupa nk tangkap gambar, sbb sgt lapar dan penat. OK, I must admit that at this time, I was already tired. huhu

11. Spent some times bought souvenirs. Love!! SGD10 for three items.

12. At 12 something we were already on our way to Marina Bay Sands (MBS) for the main event of the day, Wicked! The anxiousness was overwhelming..~! hehe. It takes us almost 30 minutes to arrive there.

13. We have a very long walk from the stations to the theatre..So long! haha. MBS is so big and there have like some sort of river in the middle (at least at one side of the mall) and even have sampan ride for SGD10 per person. Well, quite expensive for my taste. I might as well go to the real river in Malaysia. :) Oh, I thought we already got lost when the signboard to theatre playing hide and seek with us. Then, walla..just right in front of us! hooray~!

14. Fila get us the tickets and just look at how excited we were!

15. At 1.15pm we get to our seating. Luckily we bought it quite early..almost a month ago. We got the  highest place of all, ie. the cheapest..and we are next to spotlight, which means the seats besides me are empty..hooray!! I can see the stage clearly, but my eyes have imperfect vision..so, I'm just happy at where I was. Hehe. Beggar dont have to choose ya. :) OK, at this time..I can tell you honestly that my feet are so sore..I wish I dont have to walk anywhere..haha. OK, on other note, MBS has free wi-fi..Hooray!!! That explains my tweets frenzy ya, everyone! And Fila has already take a nap. She's tired, and we all were. I can't thank her enough that she had agreed to take this trip! Hooray for bff!

16. Exactly at 1.30pm, what we have come for has started! Wicked!!! I'm so excited, I cannot think much..haha. And trying to enjoy the story as much as I can. Galinda was so "gedik" I swear i could hit her if she was anywhere near me. hehe. But, she's fine..ihiks..it's like "gedik-gedik manja gitu", with her feet swing upright, always! aw! ehehe. Elphaba~!! She's so misunderstood. Oh, actually I have read the book, Wicked. I love it! and after seeing the theatre, I love it even more..Elphie's character is so misunderstood, that she have become scapegoat of the scandals in Oz..which was, unexpectedly the doing of his own father. Padan muka Wizard of Oz, jahat sangat! Well, I did shed some tears during the best friends part..aduh..tersensitif..ihiks..and also, the last part. ok, don't judge..I am sensitive. ihiks

17. Wicked ended at about 4.30pm, and I am confused why no one at our seatings give standing ovation..huhu. Jadi, tak boleh lah jakun sangat terus tepuk tangan jek lah. But, it was a very good one! I'm determined to watch it again, and this time at Gershwin Theatre, NY. Cross hands that the production will run until I'm wealthy enough to catch it..hehe. Amin!! *oh, I should do a list on what to do before I die..eh, I MUST!* oh, back to the standing ovation, yes..Fila did mention about it too. huhu. and we both go with the flow..haha

18. After that, toilet breaks..sorry Fila, terbanyak pulak gi toilet..minum air byk sgt kot..hehe. and the best adventure of all~ Before, we came I have researched on where to pray for our jamak Zohor and Asar. To no avail, there are none! Unbelievable! I also has emailed inquiry to MBS and they replied the same. So, I wish and hope that in future the management would provide a prayer room. It doesn't have to be big, but clean enough for us, Muslims to perform prayers. Thank you. Oh. tak habis cerita..as we walk here and there to find prayer room, and no avail..sampai sakit kaki lagi nie..:( and, lastly decided to pray at the Exit stairs. Luckily, I have taken the newspaper at Orchard. Kalau tak, memang takde alas lah kitorg solat. Yes, that was tad adventurous. 

19. Ok, lepas tanggungjawab selesai, barulah rasa lega siket nk berjalan..pastu, boleh tk kitorg g makan. hehe. kiranya cukuplah makan hari tu..haha..We have our teatime at the food court, mango juice and pies. :)

20. Then, sebab dah tak larat sangat, gi duduk dediam kat depan Art Science Museum, sambil ber-whatsapp dgn Yatoque. That was when we are waiting for the Wonder Full show at 8pm. Yes, we are so tired that we were actually waiting at the wrong place..haiyak!! and end up, not seeing the show properly. Sad. The youtube video was more visible. But, the feelings and experiences was so magical, the bubbles and color. If there are to be next time, I would make sure that we secure the perfect place to watch the show..hehe.

21. OK, then time to go home! Off we go to Changi at around 8.30pm and almost lost our way, as the MRT system has made us confused. huhu. Luckily we managed to arrive at 9.35pm after timeless train change and long walk to Terminal 1. Document checked and customs has let us in. Hooray! Then, we eat. hehe. Yes, we have enough food to fill us but still feel tired. hehe. This time, we had Kiliney bread and half-cooked eggs. I have iced coffee. Oh, no worries, I can still sleep..haha. By this time, Fila has caught some flus due to not enough rest. :(

22. Ah, this is the time I want to vent my frustration. Do you remember, the Victoria Secret's body mist we bought earlier? It was confiscated by the customs in the boarding gate, and I was like..what the???? this is new bought tau...terus2 jek uncle tu amik dan buang! :(:( so sad to see that goes, and I guess Fila was too tired and also frustrated. Her souvenirs also got confiscated. Bengong betul!!! I was a bit sad, as the body mist was meant for my sister. She was the one that asked me to buy and Fila&me has spent time to choose what scent that would suits her. Argh, by this time..I hate customs and their regulation. huhuhuhu. oklah, saya redha..tapi terkilan la jugak. So, reminder to self, if you go anywhere by flight, please make sure that the package is sealed. Sediakan payung sebelum hujan ye..sekian.

23. Done with that, it's time to board the plane..and we have the seats near to the wings of plane. Both of us sleeps all the way. Nasib baik tak banyak gangguan. Oh, even the mamat sebelah i pon tido..so, us three in a row, sleeps all the way..I did woke up a bit, because of some turbulence occured. Huhu, takut sekejap. Dan, pilot bawak kapal terbang laju sgt..830km/jam. Dr patut sampai pukul 12.30, 12 suku dah smpai..Dahla depart pukul 11.45 camtu..huhu..nak kejar apa pon tatau..haha..But, Alhamdulillah selamat sampai.

24. After customs and security, off we go to head home. Sorry Fila, aku tertido sekjappp jek! huhu. Arrived at Fila's crib at about 1.30am. Terus siap2 mandi dan solat dan booomm, tido!! It was definitely a longgggg day~!

Lastly, it is a very long day and we had our fun. Thank you, Fila for everything. Lepas ni mana pulak? Perhentian? Jom Yatoque & Rabby~!!

ps: gambar akan di-update kemudian..
pps: maybe ada lagi kot gambar nk update..kalau rajin..:>

I like the date so much, I have to blog today.

Yes, I love 18 February. Today, it is supposed to be my wedding; but I guess the time has not come yet..so, I'm still waiting for that to happen. :)

Alhamdulillah, today has been very well to me, except of course for a few glitch..but I take it very calmly.  :D So, all the to-do's for today were accomplished and to wrap it up, there will be pictures. Hooray :)

First thing in the morning, it was raining. Very heavily, which has made me so hard to wake up and wish to snuggle in my bed. But, with such a great spirit..woke up and internet..ahaks..watch CSI NY season one a bit, and thought about what dress to wear for the wedding. :D The plan was attend wedding at Keramat->pick up-cake at Bangi->home&change->outing with the girls at Subang. But, of course that does not happened according to plan. I ended up with attend wedding->outing with the girls->pick-up cake. I did not have the chance to be home and change. Hehe, but OK. I still love today. :)

Since, we have promised to be at the wedding at 12, I try to get out from home by 11.45am. hehe..but, being "janji Melayu", I arrived at 1 something because first, I was late and second, I got lost. haha. Well, the wedding invites is through fb event. Dan, dengan sangat bijaknya tidak cetak alamat. Padanlah muka! Anyway, I spent almost 4 hours over there, waiting time for others to arrive and catching up routine. hehe..Well, a good hours spent. :p Tahniah Ayien, and also having the good times with ex-schoolmates.

Then, because of the over-run at the wedding, I have to postpone the pick up. (Thanks K.Hazit!) So, straight to Subang Parade I went. Alhamdulillah, smooth ride from hectic KL. Since, it's my first time to Subang Parade (serious!) I was kinda lost to where the parking is and my..my~! quite expensive-lah the parking rate..takboleh datang lagi kalau nk lepak lama..That's RM4.50 yaw! (kalau lepak midveli baru RM3 kot) hiks. I arrived around 5pm and left around 8pm.. So much for the no frill session. haha. I join the girls at the donut place and we continued to chit chat at McD. We are gossiping (offline) as now, what we say on the net stays on the net. But, that for some other post to story about. 

Afterwards, go to nappy change for babyAdy at Parkson and stops at every shop that seems so interesting. Ahaks. i'm a bit worried about the pick up as the place is far at Bangi and I hate driving at night. Not as confident as old days :(

Ok, to keep the story short, I managed to pick up the cake. Alhamdulillah! Tuhan mudahkan urusan hari ini. Dari Subang ke Bangi ke KL tak jam! Memang bersyukur sangat.

And I arrived home sweet home at around 10pm to finish my almost ten hours outside the house..:) Hope your day was great too. Goodnight!

The one about my plans..again! :)

I've delayed updates for so long!! :( Sometimes I have ideas to write, but I don't know how to jot it all down. Haha. My plans of taking picture everyday, quite still successful..hooray!! So, from the last post to now (certainly not in order):

(owh, i didnt know we cant link videos here, i meant together with the details..haha)

so, here's the lyric to Christina Perri-A thousand years and click here to watch the beautiful lyric video!

Heartbeats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I’m afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What’s standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed that I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I’ll love you for a thousand more

Goodnight, and have a great week ahead, peeps!

gpoyw?

Stars - Heart

Time can take its toll on the best of us
Look at you, you're growing old so young
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
You tilt your head and turn it to the sun

Sometimes the TV is like a lover
Singing softly as you fall asleep
You wake up in the morning and it's still there
Adding up the things you'll never be

Alright, I can say what you want me to
Alright, I can do all the things you do
Alright, I'll make it all up for you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

Time can take its toll on the best of us
Look at you, you're growing old so young
Traffic lights blink at you in the evening
You tilt your head and turn it to the setting sun

You disembark the latest flight from paradise
You almost turn your ankle in the snow
You fall back into where you started
Make up words to songs you used to know

Alright, I can say what you want me to
Alright, I can do all the things you do
Alright, I'll make it all up for you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

The hard rock god, he never had a chance, you know
Incurable romantics never do
He held a flame I wasn't born to carry
I'll leave the dying young stuff up to you

You get back on the latest flight to paradise
I found out from a note taped to the door
I think I saw your airplane in the sky tonight
Through my window lying on the kitchen floor

Alright, I can say what you want me to
(I want more)
Alright, I can do all the things you do
(Give me more)
Alright, I'll make it all up for you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you
(I want more)

Alright, I'll say what you want me to
(Give me more)
Alright, I'll do all the things you do
(I want more from you)
Alright, I'll make it all up for you
I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

I'm still in love with you

Hola 2011~!

18 February 2011, today is! haha..I've been away too long. Miss it, but do not feel like writing in cyberspace or in my physical journal, either. I missed quite number of pages and also months but I do try to jot things down (mostly in my secret place..haha) Nah, just kidding~

Anyway, this year started off (well) slow~ and fast at the same time. It's been almost Wk 8 in my final semester (I hope!) and I still have not finalized the dissertation title! huhu. I hope today's meeting with the Supervisor bear some fruits. :D I really want to graduate this year, before the turning of BIG 3-0. Argh, just the thoughts of it makes inner me wish for a time machine for a different path of life..ok ok, that just wishful thinking..

Works seems so-so. Nothing much to say.. and it's appraisal time~! So, let's see where I go from here.. *cricket cricket*

I'm still stuck here..and I don't like it. Seems like nothing I could do, but I don't know what else to do. I don't see any light in this never-ending tunnel, I feel like I want to give up..but the question is, why?? Haha..I have now in my plate, a full study-career-wants-needs-envy-self inflicted injury, i might have to forget it just yet. :D I've waited almost my adolescence life..I can wait couple of years more. haha. Even on the 8th, I have totally forgotten about it!

So, today is my supposed lucky day~ oh, I feel it! and I'm gonna start off my 2011's entry with..

ALWAYS BE THINKING ABOUT THESE THINGS

I find an interesting read on "Always be thinking about these things". Makes me wander.

I've just got a call from Penang, suddenly. About the damned event that had happened during Raya eve. Well, suffice to say..I am damned, pissed and tensed and feel like I have no one I can confide to. It's highly likely I have to pay for the damage done and pricey too. I don't have it, seriously. Now, I really hate my day. I cannot say life, as I would've lied.

So, let's go through what to think:

Dreams. Yes, with that un-interesting event..I might have to postpone my dreams. Heck, I have lots of it. It would be suck. :( But I have make a list about it. Hip hip hooray for that.

Living. Hmm..I'm living life but I feel a bit like loser now.

Influences. Many, I'll think later.

Relationships (near and far). Because relationships are central to everything else. Is there a phone call you need to make? What can you do to help someone, or at least show them you care? <-- What can I do to help me? I'm super annoying.

Passion. Because life is short, you might as well spend it doing things you’re excited about. It’s only an overused word because most people don’t know what it is. <-- I cannot chose one, pathetic.

Destinations. Because you need to know where are you going, whether it’s a real destination or a representative one. (If you don’t know where you’re going, you’ll probably end up somewhere else.) <-- I dont know where I'll end up, really.

Deliverables. Because producing something worthwhile leads to a meaningful life. Every day you can wake up and think, what’s next? It’s often easier to focus on deliverables than a time schedule that may vary depending on what else is going on. <-- I have a list now.

Growth. Because it’s not about growth for the sake of itself, but if you have something good and you can build it further without losing anything, why not grow? <-- maybe, I just dont want to grow up :(

Metrics. Because you need a way to measure your journey. <-- hmm, later maybe?

Legacy. Because this is the most important thing! What are you building? What is the story of your life, and what will be its ultimate impact on the world? <-- I still working on it. :(

I hate this feelings.
