8 random facts tentang saya:

1) Family & my closest friends adelah element penting dalam idup saya. Saya ni susah sket nak jumpe org yg saya rase bleh masuk. So those who stepped into my circle, they'll most likely to stay there forever

2) Seperti Cik Ida,saya juga tak makan Taugeh. Sewaktu menjadi rumet ketika F3, sewaktu hari Ahad turun prep sebelum tu gi makan kat kantin kuetiau atau mi goreng letak telur, kami akan bersama2 mengasingkan taugeh dgn gigih skali. Kalau mak saye goreng ketiau dlu pun dier samada tak letak togeh langsung atau dier asingkan yg tak letak taugeh utk saya.

3) Saya suke komik Shin Chan. Walau sudah berkali2 baca saya tetap suka. Saya hanya membawa 5 naskhah ShinChan ke Ireland bersama saya. Jadi ShinChan itu laaa yg saye ulang2 bace. Ada sape2 baek hati nak post dari Malaysia? Silakan, OK. Alamat saya : 29, Castlewhite Apt UCC, Western Road, Cork, Ireland. Maseh!

4) Saye nak balek Malaysia secepat mungkin. Heheh

5) Kalau saye pegang pen, saya mesti conteng2. Saya suke scribble kertas.

6) Kat umah dlu saye jarang tgk tv. Saye lg suke menghadap internet (takpon tgk drama series kat internet)

7) Ape lagiiii??? Oh saye tgh tunggu Wany kate nak masak utk saye.

8) Saya baru spent €120 utk tiket cuti Easter.

Pressure tetibe

I am a TERRIBLE juggler.

Rabbi Yassir Wala Tu'assir - O Lord, Make Easy and Do Not Make Difficult

From AM to PM

Thanks to the bustling sound of the storm today, I woke up earlier than expected (Read EXPECTED=Weekend's expectation. Who would wake up & stay awake at 6am during weekend?)

During breakfast I had second thoughts on my plan today. Taking several things into consideration, I decided to make it during lunch instead of dinner.
Make what?

Hahahaha...saya rasa sungguh kejayaan besar sekali. I started from a 20 y-old girl who hardly knew how to cook a curry and now...saya rasa sedikit hebat (eish...riak riak..)

It started with my craving for ayam percik. Either Cik Imah's or Auntie Wan's their ayam percik are both superb! So I browsed through my Magic website of MYRESIPI.COM, and found the recipes.

Yesterday I went to town for the ingredient hunt. Spent about 30mins in Jia Jia (Asian Market) and 15mins in ZamZam (another Asian Market) to look out for the things. Erm...the things are kinda costly so I had to ask for other girls for some ingredients too..

I took about 5 hours to settle everything (Minus the preparation time for marinade-ing the chicken and cutting the veges and onions and garlic I did the nite b4). It was a long, tiring stand but the products are kinda satisfying..so..no sweat! =)

Kerisik + ikan and the kuah percik

Smokin sambal tumis and kuah percik

The biru-less nasi kerabu

The percik chicks in oven

And walla...the end product. Nasi kerabu + ayam percik + sambal tumis + sambal ikan + sayur. Sorry it doesn't look promising coz I was too nervous waiting for the response that I forgot to take a better picture.

As always, the white rats are my Castlewhites girls plus a special appearance by Shidot & Fendi. They are my tukang rasa and Alhamdulillah, it turned out quite well =D

Tapi serius sumpah penat. Pinggang rasa cam terpatah 9!

A walk to remember

p/s this IS NOT Cork.

Cork snowed today. I was on the way to O Connoly Building for my Biochem tutorial when it happened. It didn't last long but it was snowy enough to amaze one so-not-little-girl like me who never witnessed a real snow fall. I stood for few minutes to enjoy the drizzle. Since I am cameraphone-less at the moment, nothing I could do to capture the jakun moment. But I quickly texted my mom & girlfriends to share the oh-so-jakun news =D The drizzle lasted for roughly 12 mins I guess..

It's freezing cold outside. Luckily the one who shared room with me isn't here at the moment. Else she could open up her window widely (which I kept on close when she's not here) and freeze out this room. I have to admit eventho I've been in this 4 season country for almost 4 months, I still couldn't tolerate the COLDness. Those layerssss (notice the S) of adipose tissue (a.k.a. Fat Fat Fat) isn't functioning well as heat insulator. Such a waste of talent. Why oh why are you creeping inside me (and made me look horrible) when you can't even do simple heat storage job? Haha..emo tak pasal-pasal.

Albeit the cold weather, I still went out today. I have sOooOooo many things to buy. CNY stuff. My kitchen stuff. And some makan2 stuff. It was such a hard decision whether to go out or to stay in my comfy duvet. I checked Yahoo! Weather forecast for tomorrow's weather. Tomorrow is expected to be less cold than today so I made a sudden decision to go to Wilton Tesco to buy some of the things first. It'll be less colder in the mall rather than shopping in town.

I hopped on bus No.8 right after Asar prayer. Went to Penneys, Neulook, Lifestyle (and fell in love with this €23 sport shoes. waaaa nak beli!!!!!) and finally Tesco. The weird thing was, I felt like walking back home. So I did. Put on my iPod, and enjoyed my lonely walk. Such a nice moment. Despite having 2L milk + vegetables on my back and a handful of fattening food, I still reached home with a relieved feeling. Indescribable. And to make it better, it snowed again (so the very light one) when I'm about to reach Castlewhite...

Mom's ticket is confirmed. She'll be in Amsterdam by 3rd of April but I guess I'll be only meeting her up in Brussels. She'll be here until 16th of April. The sad thing is, I'm having my Dental Practice finals on 22nd April. Hopefully I managed to push myself to prepare earlier. *sigh*

p/s : aahh...there goes the closed window. Damn It's widely open again. *freezing* Nasib baekkkk balek bawak scone!

Bawang Goreng & Ikan Bilis

I bet the receptionist must have recognized me. Coz everytime I went into the reception she must looked at the "parcel" area. Heeee....malu...

But today my box was put in the middle of the reception table. Sebatu bleh nampak my name kot? Heee...ExCiTeD okayhhhh?!?!?!?!

My mom posted things that I requested. Chicken & Anchovy Stock, Curry, Chilli and Tumeric powder, Brahims instant food (bekalan di hari exam T_T) etc etc..and of the utmost important, BAWANG GORENG & IKAN BILIS. Heeee.......

And also Neutrogena moisturizer & toner. I am so the very lazy one to buy them here. Besides I think the products here won't suit me. So better stick to the one. Hee...I think I am very loyal :P

To celebrate the arrival of my mom's parcel I cooked a Malaysian style dinner. Sambal tumis & ikan bilis goreng, telur dadar and also nasi putih with vegetable soup. Ahhh...sangat heaven. Plus my housemates are not in at the moment so I have all the kitchen to myself. Double heaven :D This brought me to the old memory when my mom was in UK back in erm...tak ingat.98? 99? 97? I was left under the care of my Pakciks, Cik Pi & Cik Wa (and I think Mak Limah too). U know, staying with the bachelors. Student pula...I remembered us eating telur + bawang + ikan bilis digoreng. Hehehehehe..what a memory..

There was some changes on our Exam schedule. Anatomy test is brought forward to March 20th (pheewww~) due to the clash of time with Physiology test. And the 31st March exam might be postpone to later dates too. Dilemma..dilemma. Should I or should I not enjoy the holiday? Should or should not mom come this year?

On the other note, International Cultural Week is coming up this February. Usop has assigned me to be the Performance Director and we've agreed to come up with the theme Malaysia Wedding. Been asked by Mr.Pres : batch korang ni....haritu time raya bawak nasyid Carilah Pasangan. Pastu ni Perkahwinan plak.. Aihh...no comment la Mr.Pres X_X. Tapi..malu gak dier kate gitu...So another burden task on the to-do-list. Huu...


p/s : Kak Aina kalau nak kawen free meh ah jd pasangan pengantin kitorang. Ade silat2 wooo....Satu UCC tgk..jimat kos :P

p/ps : Shazwany Md Noor (ok, skarang boleh Google nama anda! hehe... :D) cepatlah abes exam...saya sangat bosan tahu tak. walaupun saya juga perlu belajar, tapi saya rindukan aktiviti gemX kite.........

Stress!
