Big big events today.
Loads of big events.


She will be back.
They will smile or cry.
She will take the test.
She will be performing.
We will start the project.
I will look and listen.





Perhaps there will be more.
Stay tuned?

miau

I was hanging the laundry outside.
This happened at about 6.40pm.
Be aware that we were actually talking in whispers during this whole conversation.


Me : Hey Mak, mak tau tak ada orang tu selalu korek-korek sampah kat jalan kita ni macam cari tin ke plastik kot
Mumsy : Hah tu lah, mana dia, ada dia sekarang tu?
Me : Hah, ada tu kat luar tu. Menakutkan je.
Mumsy : Cuba kamu tengok lepas dia korek tu, dia ikat or tutup balik tak tong sampah tu?


I was actually scared of the guy, and my mum, she was worried that the guy didn't secure the rubbish bags back? Homaigod! haha

"The reality of the other person lies not in what he reveals to you,
but what he cannot reveal to you.
Therefore, if you would understand him,
listen not to what he says but rather to what he does not say."

goodluck postcard


Today.
Today is a sad, devastating, happy, fun, exciting, hurting, smiling, lovely, annoying, cheery day.
I communicated with seven friends,
using technology that is.
We talked, chatted, comforted, planned, encouraged, advised, asked & reminisced.
I had a pretty long day.
But it's a good day.
It was good.







For me,
pure love is when you are willing to go and move to anywhere,
anywhere at all, 
as long as you are with that person,
as long as he/she is by your side.

:)

reciprocate

Sometimes I have quiet mornings, whilst sometimes I have cheery mornings.
Today is my quiet morning. Nothing much, I just don't feel like talking.







Ideas come whenever it feels like it.
I have three notebooks.
I just bought the third one two weeks ago. And just wrote in it today.
There's no particular reason.
However, when the ideas come, it chooses which notebook to write it in.
Suitability, I guess.
Maybe they all have their own themes. Yes, I think they do.







The magic words for a great relationship are, "I love you just the way you are."

new love



Zee Avi - The Book of Morris Johnson

The turtle moves slowly and is happy with his pace of life
The flamingo walks with elegant grace, she knows she's one of a kind
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e48787-zee_avi~the_book_of_morris_johnson_lyrics.html ]
If you can't stop in, least smile as you go by
If you can't stop in, least smile as you go by
Sometimes, you just gotta know how to feel

The happy crab danced on the beach to a calypso beat
The happy mullet jumps for the pure joy of being alive

The gator grinned as he dreamed of his next meal
Every good fisherman has a pelican watching over him

contentment

today was a very nerve-racking day for me
twas the English paper day of PMR 2011
so in the wee light of the morning, I was darn nervous
as if I'm the one who's going to take the exam

and as I walked from front to back and back to front in the exam hall
looking at the wrong answers some students shaded
in my head, I was praying hard all they way
hoping that my students could answer the paper well
and not get confused, and are able to choose the right answer

and tadaa, two of my students texted me in the evening
telling me that they did quite well for their Paper 1
which I considered was very tough
twas indeed -with lotsa confusion and unfamiliar words

 :)

the only form 3 class I was teaching, 3 Kenanga
crazy, and noisy but very very nice kids
I love em :)

a novel that I managed to finish in just 3 days
considering my busy schedule, this was indeed an achievement
I loooooveeee the book :)
plus, it gave me quite a few life inspirations
just perfect for the state that I'm in now 

a new outlet of Tutti Frutti just 30 secs away from my house
I was shouting with joy when I was driving pass it
yeayyyyyyyyy! 

yummy choc-chunk cookies
I was so happy that I celebrated the day baking a batch of the cookies

one big bottle
another two smaller ones for friends



soo many joyful things :)
I am glad that He and friends and family are always there to support me
alhamdulillah syukur
and to that dear dear friend, I love you

Life is about laughing and living, in good and bad times.

my ever after

I'm still that little girl
that silly little girl
who wishes '...and they lived happily ever after.' ending
some will say that it's only a fairy tale
but never mind, and it's okay
because it's my fairy tale
and I do have faith
that it will start beautifully
with as simple as 'Once upon a time...'

and fell in love with this song by Avril
her songs aren't usually to my likings
so this one is an exceptional




I Love You - Avril Lavigne

I like your smile
I like your vibe
I like your style
But that's not why I love you
And I, I like the way, you're such a star
But that's not why I love you

Hey
Do you feel, do you feel me?
Do you feel what I feel too?
Do you need, do you need me?
Do you need me?

You're so beautiful
But that's not why I love you
I'm not sure you know
That the reason I love you, is you
Being you, just you
Yea the reason I love you
Is all that we've been through
And that's why I love you

change is inevitable

it's Ramadhan again
:)


sunrise - Chendering, Terengganu


I realized that not everything that you think will stick by/with you, will stick forever
maybe it will, but only for a while
however, there are some things which do stick by/with you, more than you think it will
and I thank you & Allah for it/them
it's a surprise really
oh well, this is reality
and I am an adult
and I will/have to face all these things


currently addicted to Yuna's Random Awesome
"no I don't know what is up with me, I laugh too much recently"



Happy Ramadhan

I was half in love with her by the time we sat down.
That's the thing about girls.
Every time they do something pretty...
you fall half in love with them,
and then
you never know where the hell you are.

I know you're somewhere out there, somewhere far away

chicken pie

Alteration of the original recipe by using what I have in the kitchen.

this is the muffin size version



Crust:-
125g butter (diced & cold)
250g flour
1 egg
1 tbsp milk
a pinch of salt & sugar

Steps:-
1. Rub the butter & flour (+salt & sugar) together turning it into breadcrumbs.
2. Whisk the egg, then pour it into the breadcrumb mixture, form it into a dough.
3. Add the milk, then mix it all together. Set aside for 20 - 30 minutes.

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

Filling:-
250g Minced chicken/chicken chunks
1/2 tin Mushroom soup
Carrots
Peas
Onions
Garlic
Black Pepper
Salt

Steps:-
1. Saute the onion & garlic in buttered pan.
2. Add the chicken & carrots. Fry it till it is half-cooked.
3. Pour in the mushroom soup. You can put the whole tin in if you want a creamier filling.
4. Stir in the peas, then add the black pepper & salt to taste.

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

This recipe makes about 12-15 small pies (depends on how thick your crust is).

For the bottom crust, after you have placed it in the muffin baking tray, you bake it first for 15 minutes.
Then you take it out, put in the filling and cover the top with the dough.
Make designs such as leafs with the left-over dough.
Glaze the top with egg yolk to make it prettier.
180C for about 20 minutes or until it is golden brown.

8-inch chicken pie


Have a go in making & baking it, it's pretty simple & tastes so good :)

inner, food & outer

this is sort of like a post mortem report
after writing that sentence, I feel silly
never mind

anyways
during the second last day of the school holidays
I followed my mumsy to one of her Puspanita activity
I totally forgot the name but I think its called the health & beauty program

first there was a laughing session
NO, its name was way better -it was called laughing yoga
no kidd man
but i was forcing myself to laugh because well, there was nothing funny to laugh about
except a lot of mums laughing
if you think about it, its kinda funny kan
but yeah, it is good, I think, cos it helps you to release all those tension in you
I forgot to take pics when it happened
mind you, I was busy laughing
haha

then next, there was a cooking demo


the chef made mango crepes


and also chocolate brownies



after that was the health session


the last session
a make-up demonstration by nicole
and again, I forgot to take a pic with her

the make-up artist has been on ntv7 a few times

doesn't the model look a lil bit like scha?

that is all
off to eat choc cake yummmeyyyyyyh
xx
