A quick post!

The delightful Affogato with gula melaka ice cream and cotton candy in Whimsical Cafe,Publika

Hello!

Its been awhile.

I have been meaning to share about my jet lag story since I came back but haven't got the time to do so. 

So we'll pass on that.

In short, 

my few months has been full and almost hectic.

I was home for 2 months and now I already start working! 

Alhamdulillah.

 So what I did during my 2 month staying at home was:

1. Went to lots of cafe to try out their brew and desserts. 

Some were a winner  and some was a shame

2. Went for a full medical check up and everything was determine "clear" for me. 

Phew, alhamdulillah again

3. Went for bedsheet shopping and bought a few to reinvent the look for my room-interior. 

I am all about plain sheets now baby. Next will be the plain curtains

4. Had a blast on my birthday, thanks to my hummingbirds. Will post about it later, promise!

Here's are couple of pictures I managed to snap while we're at Whimsical cafe and Coffee Societe, Publika.

Churros were oily, Cake was by CakeJaln Tiung so obviously it tasted good

Service at Whimsical Publika was friendly 

At Coffee Societe

 The latte and hot C in Coffee Societe were good. OK.
Milky, not that strong and the foam stands for more than half an hour. 

When we were there, we just found out that the cafe was linked to Garage51 in Subang!

So that explains the great coffee taste.

======================

Till the peeps!

HECTIC

One word : Kepenatan.

That's the only right word to explain where or what I am right now. But still no complaints.

Here's the summary of whats practically going on these past few months in my silly hectic life.

• Currently, I'm in my semester break till 5th March. Then I'm gonna start my final semester for my degree course with 4 months internship in Approve Group. You can look up about the company here. 
• Even though I'm in my semester break, I've been finalizing my thesis for submission. The word thesis practically been lingering in my mind like a weed in my head. Its amazing how just writing 10,000 words research paper can stole your peace in life.
• Since I'm back home, I've never spend more than 5 hours at home awake. There's always meeting papa for lunch or dinner, visiting my brother at his PLKN camp site, weddings, family gatherings, heading to the bank+mechanics+post office, breakfast with mom, and of course, UiTM Shah Alam. And again, I'm not complaining.
• Besides my hectic schedule, I've managed to finished up reading 3 books that I've bought recently. Micro by Micheal Crichton, Angels Fall by Nora Roberts and Priceless by Nicole Richie.
• My brother went for his PLKN National Service in Sepang. It took approximately 30 min drive from the Sepang F1 Circuit, way up in the rural area.
• Last week my mom and I went for our holiday with my aunts and couple of her friends to Yogyakarta,Indonesia. It was epic. I didn't want to come back home when the time came for our departure. 
• Through the holidays, I got to meet couple of new friends, who is both such sweet and nice people.
• For Chinese New Year this year, I got to sated my longing for Yee Sang, twice. 
• I miss my dorm and my roommates like hell. My dorm has always been my salvation for the past 6 years, and now its gone. It is such a sad feeling and I've been trying to adapt to the new scenario that I'm am going to stay at home from now on, makes me miss my roommates +dorm more.
• I haven't been baking or even cooking since I got home for my break. The only food I ever got chance to cook was frying cekodok for our afternoon tea.
• My cousin's wedding here, was intimate and joyful. She's been planning her wedding for months and seeing how well it all turn out, must be such a relieved for her. Couldn't believe in the first place that she choose me to become her pengapit (bridesmaids) for that day. Thank you Kak Marinee!
• Since this is the last semester break I'll be having, I've managed to squeeze my time to meet my girlfriends. So far, lunch with Normy, ice cream session with Sarah and Fyda, a cup of tea with Dahlia, Farahnaz, Izzah and Intan, and blast of laughter with Nadrah,Dyana and her charming boyfriend of hers, Hafiz. Next stop, more dinner dates with ex classmates from school.

 That will be all, I think.

Till then, I'll update my out and about soon to you guys. 

Have a good day peeps!

Trying to keep my calm (Project #3)

Usaha untuk keep my calm hari ni agak mencabar.

Currently I'm in my semi-holiday because I'm doing my final year project (FYP) in my holidays.

My FYP is about entomology,study of insects,specifically mine is about flies.

Before this I have tried to rear  flies but failed due to unavoidable circumstances such as presence parasites and the weather.

So,my supervisor insist that I should take up 

my fly species form IMR  (Institute Medical Research).

And so I did. 

My supervisor introduce me to them and we make our deal.

 After a week of nothingness, the researchers at the facilities called up this morning and said that my flies are ready and I can take it home with me.

So pagi tadi, dengam penuh bersemangat saya pun menuju ke IMR dan mengambil "anak-anak" saya untuk dibawa pulang. Alhamdulillah, anak-anak lalat saya selamat menetas dari telur mereka. Sebagai ibu mithali,saya pun bertungkus lumus menyediakan semua keperluan mereka seperti rumah baru, makanan fresh, prepare netting (to avoid other flies form coming in to their home).

Since ketibaan mereka agak mengejut, kerana saya ingat mula-mula dapat time bulan puasa, rupanya dapat time seminggu sebelum puasa. 

So segala persiapan tidak disediakan lebih awal dan telah memakan masa 3 jam.

Lepas da siap semua ni, nak kena transfer anak-anak manja saya ke rumah baru mereka.

Proses ni pula mengambil masa 1 jam,ekoran kena kira satu-satu maggots untuk masuk kedalam rumah baru mereka.

Mencabar bukan?

 Tapi saya baca bismillah banyak-banyak supaya tak tersalah kira.

Lepas proses ini selesai, saya terus menuju ke kamar mandi untuk major shower showdown.

********   

Dan sekarang, baru saya nak start cerita.

Jauh dilubuk hati saya, saya sebenarnya sedih sebab lalat saya hadir ke dunia ini seminggu sebelum bulan ramadhan menjelang. 

Kerana saat minggu akhir ni la saya nak bersama-sama teman melantak kesana kesini. 

Tapi sekarang,semua harapan tu punah. 

Date yang saya plan dengan teman pun hancur begitu sahaja.

Ini adalah kerana lalat saya masih lagi anak-anak kecil. 

Mereka perlukan ibu mereka,yakni saya. 

Mereka perlukan kasih sayang saya pada minggu pertama ini. 

Dan kini saya mempunyai tanggungjawab untuk megukur panjang maggots saya pada setiap 3 jam. 

Kejam bukan?

Ya,saya tau.

Tapi apakan daya. Inilah yang dinamakan pengorbanan seorang ibu.

Diharapkan pada semua bakal-bakal ibu diluar sana faham erti pengorbanan yang telah saya lakukan.

Terima kasih kerana sudi mendengar rintihan saya

Sekian. 

Wabillahi Taufik Walhidayah

 Thank you peeps for stopping by.xoxo people!

Pavlova

Ola lovelies!

It's been a hectic holiday. (Can I say that? Hectic holiday)

So,this is gonna be a quick entry.

I baked pavlova! Twice!

**So proud of myself**

I got the recipe from here.

Its the simplest dessert that require baking I have ever done.

If you're planning on baking a meringue, the entire baking utensils shall be free from any presence of water and moist. 

Otherwise the meringue won't rise.

I got this tip from a friend of mine who is a Culinary student. 

And I recommend that the sugar is reduced to 1/2 cup caused

 1 cup is just too sweet. It'll numb your taste-buds.

Gotta go, thank you so much for stopping by.

Love you always!

Busy Post

Hello people!!

These past few days I'm living in my seventh heaven.

It was exam month (still is) and I went home!

I had the greatest time. 

Nothing beats a 

home cooked meal+irritating bro and a dotting mom.

Studying at home with the luxury of food and zero responsibilities (except studying) is WOW!

With the hectic life that I have been living the last couple of month,coming home feels like a retreat to heaven.

Not that I can say those hectic time are all behind me. 

Cause once my exam paper is over, my lecturers decide to make a mock-crime scene for us where we have to conduct an investigation,unsupervised, and later present our findings to the board of panels. 

And not to mention writing my final year proposal and project which I'll be performing them in my holidays..yup! 

In Shah Alam, at the faculty lab. Sigh.

But I'm still thankful cause so far everything went pretty well for me. 

Not that amazingly-well,which was what I had hoped for, but pretty well.

My health,friends and even the can-be-predicted weather has been splendid in my exam month.  

And right now I'm keeping my faith in Allah SWT to letting me pass all my exams with flying colours. Amin.

And...mom birthday is coming this month! 

I have to actually tell myself to calm down every time I took a 10-min break from my cramming session when I think about my plans on her birthday. 

Which involves cakes,sweets and colours! Can't wait!

Dear exam, can you fast forward time?

I just can't wait to bake all the recipes that I have been collecting since January...!

I'll be sure to post the picture of my edible goods once I've made it.

Thank you for stopping by darlings!

And may you enjoy your day as much as mine.

xoxo!

p/s : 

I had no idea why the urge to blog, movies downloading, tweeting and facebook-ing are at its peak during this exam month.

Care to share why? 

But I did had fun doing all of those things..so may be it was for the fun of it. May be.

Super-Busy

This semester I have been really busy with my studies.

My routine is eat,study, eat again and sleep.

I didn't move around much except for my lady fingers on the lappy key board. Which will likely caused my hand to get carpal tunnel (Nauzubillah) and yes I'm not living a healthy life, and yes I've gained weight, and of course I'm exhausted.

Plus I really miss my room.I miss having to wake up on my bed, looking at my window , and just walking in my room. It seems like ages since I last done that. Like I said, I'm super-busy. I haven't been home much.

The fact that I have been so busy, I've missed 3 of my cousin's engagement reception. It's so sad cause I have never missed out anything like this. I mean when it comes to family occasion. 

So it's kinda a huge deal for me.

And I have like another 2 of my cousins engagement to go.

One of them is Kak Marinee..she runs a pretty famous blog right here about weddings. Her blog is really informative so you should check it out. And her blog was featured in March 2011 Intrend magazine '50 BLOG MALAYSIA PILIHAN INTREND'. Seriously,I was so proud of her. 

So I'm looking forward to the reception on next weekend. She requested that I'll come with my Oreo Truffles in tow.Anything for you cousin.

And so,I would like to wish you,

Thank you for stopping by!

xoxo,love you!
