March Baby Girl!

*sneezed*
Setelah sebulan di anak tirikan oleh sekolah undang-undang, penuh sawang dah blog den.

Being a final law student is fun! It is! No joke one.... But, if you do it ALONE, you will suffocate and die in a gloomy dark never ending ..... * exaggerated* hehe..

Yes, it is fun, but you can't face it by yourself. You need friends to handle all the evil lecturers together! Most of them are EVIL. Suppose to be 'in character' to teach us how to face more ferocious monsters in the future (katanya...) Assignments after assignments are suppose to trip you over and over EVERYDAY so that you learn how stand taller and taller on each tripped journey. FUH!. It's hard baby!

Final year is the year where all of us unite to survive. Finally we get to know each other better (after 3-4 years of studying together XP ) Alhamdulillah.

I've decided to focus on my 23rd birthday 'celebration this time. So, shall we not speak about 'les meserables' as happy thoughts and moments will be highlighted =D

Let us start with le Gun n Roses... They are my buddies! I've 'warned' them not to have any celebration. Simple makan-makan at Mamak's will do. I don't want them to plan any surprises either (i have sixth sense you see, once caught, it's hard for me to fake a 'surprised' smile you see..) hahaha.. banyak songeh.. Tapi, they have to bear with it la kan.. nama pun buddiesss.. XD sorry sayangs

6th of March :
Warning semua tak jalan sebab they did make an ADVANCE 'surprise celebration' XP... We went to Domino's Pizza and i had my FIRST birthday Chocolate cake! ('first' because they are more to come..hehe) It's not an ordinary cake, it's a LAVA Chocolate cake! Yummayh! Thanks korang for the pizzas and cake! Semoga rezeki korang bertambah hendakNya..

8th of March :
The blessed day start with this 'one and only' Lecturer mengamuk over little things then kick herself out of the class XP. Then, everyone had a panic attack sebab dah buat Lecturer murka. Then, everyone berkampung kat library untuk finalize this 'one special' assignment before the due time. Semua kelam-kabut masa tu over 'what should be the right format' lah, 'theories over why this one particular lecturer mengamuk' lah..'how many cases tu put' lahh ..photostate this and that lah..MACAM-MACAM lah.

What a day to celebrate my birthday...

Things changed when i found a RED HANDMADE CARD in my bag. Deep inside i am so touched =') Despite the hectic week, my dearests manage to spend some alone time to express their thoughts into words in that special card. Special indeed!You only need 2-3 pieces of paper and some colourful pens then...WALLA!, you can touch somebody's heart with it! Ever thought.. The lesser you spend, the happier you will be?! ;)

Here are some pics for ya..

Ok! cerita tak habis lagi...
On the very same day, i went out with my other circle of friends. We decided to have our luncheon in Fullhouse, Lifestyle store & cafe at Wangsa Walk. Worth every penny i tell ya.. Sedap!
Masa tengah sembang-sembang, tiba-tiba a group of people sang Birthday song for me from behind! Only Allah knows how i blushed. Malu lah! Dah besar. Satu cafe pandang!

Bella sponsored a super yummayh Chocolate MOIST cake! Super moist i tell ya.. Makan sekali nak lagi punya guarantee XP (so, this is my SECOND birthday cake. hehehe).. Thank you dear.. Love you guys so much XOXO

Later that evening, i received TWO slices of Secret Recipe's Chocolate BROWNIES from my dear friend...Umar! Thanks dear.. sedap sangat! Tapi dah tak larat nak makan. Stomach full oledy.. So, i've decided to (unwillingly)share my brownies to others T_T hahaha... One once said, sweet would be sweeter when we share it with others.

Below is my THIRD birthday cake/brownies! =D

WAIT! there are more episodes to go! Please bear with me! hahaha

12th of March :
It was another hectic day of the week...and..my GAMELAN family decided to celebrate March babies on that day! Another surprise!.. thank you lovesss <3 p="">
This time, it was RED VELVET CAKE with CREAM CHEESE FROSTING! yummayh!
p/s: Thank you Halimah Saadiyah! Susah-susah je geng dengan Azreen =P

Alright! Enough for this entry.. To be continued in another post soon! (iye..ada lagi, Episode tak habis lagi dik..haha)

Baking some more..

Now...at this moment...the moment i am typing for this entry..the kitchen SMELLS so good! (cookies are/were in the oven!) he he he

If you followed my previous entry (click here Non-stop eating) i did mention about my dad requested for MORE cookies before i went back to uni.. So, here i am..baking cookies for my dad.

My oven has signs which i couldn't understand (which sign is for what purpose???) Apalagi..i asked Mr.Google lor..haha..this is the link http://www.neff.co.uk/why-neff/get-the-best-from-your-neff/cooking-with-your-neff-oven.html

The above link was randomly chose. It helps. So, problem solved! hahaha..Selama ni aku masak suka hati je nak pakai sign ape..muahahaha.. Sekarang baru tau setiap sign ade its own special purpose. Sorry oven..i mistreated you unintentionally =P

As for now..i've eaten TWO COOKIES! ohmai ohmai..hahaha..

Love,
Carbs lover ;)

Non-stop eating.

NON-STOP eating = more CALORIES INTAKE = LESS weight loss/ INCREASE unnecessary kilos.

yes yes yes. I am a food lover. Not to mention a sweet tooth as well - am PROUD of it XD
I want my hot dream body yet i can't let go of my eating habit! how laaaa? tell me how? *crying out loud.

hahaha...its ok. Maybe i am not 'sekeping', but i think i have what i want. It is just a matter of tonning it up a bit, control what i eat a bit..then..Walla! Hotties in the house! he he he... Alhamdulillah.

We, ladies...have to embrace and accept how we look like. Each of us have our own dream BMI or measurements or weight. But, what matter most is how we look like NOW. Don't be sad or demotivated. Be confident! Tell them that "I CAN TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM!".

So yeah...me and dad baked a loaf of bread last night. We have a bread maker but we didn't use if for ages! Takut dia merajuk sebab we always use baking stand mixer next to it! Sorry baby...di anak tirikan..kekeke

Tadaaaa! Fresh hot 'campak-campak simple bread'  from the  bread maker XD

Campak air + marjerin + tepung gandum + tepung susu + garam + gula + yeast ke dalam bread maker, kemudian ceq tengok tv. Biaq bread maker do all the work..hahaha..mcm main tipu je kan? Found another simple recipe here http://marzipanmom.blogspot.com/2011/03/white-sandwich-bread-no-monkey-business.html. Thinking of baking it..hmmm...the question is...when...haha..

Ape lagi ek yang ceq masak cuti sem ni? HA! 

SuperSize Chopped Chocolate with oats! It supposed to be chewy but  i overbaked it, hence the crispy...he he he

SuperSize Raisins with oats chewy cookies!

My dad requested the cookies and he ask me to bake the same cookies again before going back to uni.haha

http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/6408/chewy-oat-and-chocolate-chip-cookies.aspx - This is where i got the original recipe. I altered the recipe according to what was available in the kitchen. heeeee....

Besides that... i made home-made TWISTIES! can you believe that?! hahaha...senang je weh.

Introducing *drumroll* THE........LAKSA TWISTIES! he he he..
Blend chicken cube, curry powder, chili powder, nestum, sugar and salt together kemudian gaulkan kat laksa yang telah digoreng.

The main ingredient for the 'twisties' is LAKSA KERING! You just have to deep fry it, toss it then add in your favorite flavour! I made Curry flavour Laksa Twisties. I can't give you the exact amount of all the ingredients i used because, it depends on your taste buds! For an exampale, If you like it hot..add in extra chili powder. Senang je kan....InsyaAllah. Ada orang letak Cheese powder sikit. You can ask Mr.Google for extra info dear =P

That's all for now. 

Love, carbs lover.

Current addiction

http://www.womenshealthmag.com/

The above site is my current addiction. It has (almost) EVERYTHING inside. From what to eat, to exercise routines to what to wear!

By the virtue of a 'maxim' quoted below,
"If a guy stop playing an online game just to text you back, marry him"...

the same apply here,
"If a lady stop reading http://www.womenshealthmag.com/ just to text you back, marry her"... =P

Picture shows my lil' cousin, Raziq. He is (obviously) having a lot of fun !
When we were kids, the only daily problem we faced was 'what should be the next fun thing to do?'
Life is getting serious as we grow older, but that shouldn't be the reason for you to stop having fun like Raziq do!
Plan at least a day for you to enjoy the day with your bestfriends and family, and at least 30 minutes daily for yourself.

Love, Lilies lover.

Business lady ;)

Holiday is coming to its end!

I am experiencing a mix feeling here. Gosh! (anak manja babe) haha

Hereinafter is my usual holiday routine:

TV + house chore + eat + 'nap' + online + eat + baking + TV or TV with the laptop on + Sleep

Can you see how 'productive' i am during my holidays?...hahaha

TETAPI, cuti kali ini melihatkan satu anjakan paradigma dimana cuti den betul-betul produktif! Muahaha.. Since i am on my final year, me n the best of friends are planning on a road trip! (a mini budget road trip) and since i am not receiving any scholarship neither loan, i need more $$ to spend on the trip rather than asking from my parents sahaja. SO! I've decided to generate my income by doing food related business! Simple-simple je. Bukan terima tempahan catering dan sekufu dengannya..oh tidakks.. Tak larat den. haha..

My ummi gave the idea of selling Crispy Rolled Popia. Pack in small containers and ummi will then sell it to her office mate. Yang ni senang cause you can make it while watching TV. Modal yang diperlukan pun tak banyak. 

This is my Crispy Rolled Popia. The main ingredients are kulit popia (obviously) and sugar! The next important ingredient depends on your preference where you can opt to add in milk powder or blended nestum or horlicks or mix everything up! hahaha

The real challenge was when one of ummi's office mate ordered Nasi Lemak Seringgit. Ummi asked whether I am willing to take the offer? cause I have to deliver the Nasi Lemak before 7.30 in the morning and therefore, i have to wake up (really) early to cook the nasi..then bungkus the nasi... hahahaha... I ACCEPT it! Gila ke apa? Tapi Alhamdulillah, ummi ayah were really supportive! (till now and in whatever i do-Thank you Allah-i really do feel blessed)

Masa memasak semua orang masih bertenang. Tapi, bila nak bungkus jadi kelam-kabut sebab tak mahir..haha..

Really had a great time making the Nasi Lemak. I learnt from ummi to prepare all the ingredients in advance. Contohnya, bahan-bahan tumisan blend siap-siap. Ikan bilis dan kacang goreng siap-siap. So, when the time comes to cook the Sambal, campak semua dalam kuali then..Done! he he.. For the nasi..we (me and ummi) woke up at 3 in the morning..gigih tau..haha.. Cause we want fresh Nasi that can last long, thus, the later the better. Kalau tak, cepat basi...and we don't want that. For the Sambal, we cooked it earlier (before going to bed)

Here you go! 90 bungkus (and extra) Nasi Lemak Seringgi ready to be delivered!

Although we gave extra bungkus of Nasi Lemak and extra Sambal, we still have EXTRAS in the periuk! hahaha.. What to do? Boleh buat rumah terbuka untuk setengah taman tau (nak certia punyalah banyak lebih) hahaha... Definitely a lesson to be learned! hahaha

-To those who wonder what we did with the EXTRAS... 

No worries, we put it in the freezer for future usage.ngeh ngeh ngeh (membazir itu amalan syaitoon)

Aite, that's all for this entry! 

Love,

Girl on fire.

Senior year!

YES.
With all the ups and downs...the unfortunates...the surprises..the goods...the unexpected..finally, here comes the FOURTH YEAR.
Who says reading law is easy? Well...it depends. haha. If you are really enjoying you student life while believing that CGPA doesn't matter much as long as you have what it takes to survive in this world...then...reading laws is enjoyable (mind you that, 'enjoyable' doesn't mean 'scoreable' =P)

It is really funny when i recall the moments when we have to choose which sections for which subjects (just to avoid 'undesirable' lecturer. Lecturer ni strict lah, Lecturer ni banyak bagi kerja lah,... hakikatnya, as long as you do your part as a student (prepare before going to class and etc...) any lecturer will do!
I prefer a lenient lecturer who not only give marks based on the answer script but also on the EFFORTS that students have to go through! ;)
While i was lepaking in the library with my buddies, i overheard a conversation between juniors telling other juniors not to take (example) criminal law with (example) Dr.B cause he is scary and he makes you read hundreds of cases..and bla..and bla.. siap call kawan-kawan diorang bagai..haha! geli hati den (macam ni aku rupenye dulu-dulu)

Making notes for Company Law 1 during my third year first sem
 (Another crucial subject  after Criminal Law and Constitutional Law)

What i can say now is "Treasure every lecturer which is destined to teach you". Why? because.. Allah is the Most Knowing. He knows what's best for you and...who knows..you can get the best of the subject by learning it with Dr.B.. hehehehe

That's all for now.

the Garden

The title speaks by itself!

A wife is the architect of the interior part of a house. While the husband is the gardener which handles the exterior part of the house - this rule applies in the family.

Left: the Father
Right: the Grandfather

My dad (and his) loves gardening. Both of them are orchid lover as well!

You know he is de-stressing if he is outside (doing nothing but) staring at his flowers and other plants for more than 5 minutes. You know he is asking for daughter-dad quality time if he is asking you to help him doing his gardening work. I didn't contribute much. My mouth moves faster than my hands! hahaha. I ask him a lot of questions just to annoy him cause it didn't matter on how much effort i give, gardening is just not my cup off hot chocolate. no. no. But, he seems to enjoy it! Takpelah. By just looking at him doing something he enjoys while layan his daughter is .... soothing - MasyaAllah

Attached together are some of the fruits of his hands (with Allah's will) - SubhanaAllah
