banana pancakes

college is killing me and i really need to refresh myself. ive been working sooo hard, playing around with assignments and exams and the next few weeks will be harder. final exam is coming up, and as usual, im not ready yet! fortunately, i have bought the ticket to go home! the flight will be on may 29 and i'll be back on june 22. arrrgh, i need a longer holiday. i really need to go home as soon as possible. living here and suprisingly survived is one big achievement i think. with all the dull-ness, boring-ness, very hotttt weather, oh man. home is waaay better than here. the food, the people, the house, mmhhmmm, i miss.

boring boring boring. my life is too boring. there's no excitement, no surprise, no rush adrenaline, no massive heartbeat. yes, i am very happy to live my life but i kinda miss my old one with all those exciting stuff. guess this is life when you enter the world of two-zero aka twenty hahahaha i need to cut my hair, apparently it is so messy and i am not willing to take risk cutting my hair here, so i have to wait until the end of may to have a haircut. pathetic. everything i need and want to do has to wait. until the end of may. end of may. end. of. may. seems like a looooooong way to go. pfffft.

oh, and who said asian are not pretty? yes, we are.

yea, right. im such a loser for romantic things. and this is what happened when i have too much spare time and no boyfriend around. i miss my boyfriend. it might sound selfish and stupid by saying that, because in fact we are only separated for two weeks (and maybe another two later on, so, yea, a month). no biggie. a month without seeing him. i can handle that. i surely can, right?

yea. in. my. dream.

by the time i said goodbye and waved at him while he drove the car, i already missed him. it's been only two weeks. two goddamn weeks, and now i miss him even more.

ok.

ok.

ok.

stop whinning.

i know i sound like a stupid spoiled brat or something. believe me im not.

lets just move on, shall we?

im planning on making martabak manis but im too lazy to even buy the ingredients. oh life. oh, and i skipped a lot of classes this week. i mean, a lot. two hours on tuesday, six hours on wednesday, and two hours today. i guess this laziness is taking over my life. bad days. bad bad bad.

well, next week and ahead are busy weeks, so cross your finger and pray for me. ciao!

merry happy

okay, i might not be updating this blog for more than two weeks, but just so you know, im not dead peeps! ive just been veryveryvery busy with college things and have no time to update ;D well, anyway, there's nothing to update except i have finished my midterm break (and nothing interesting happened, believe me). i also have finished some of my midterm tests and labtests but i still have some more to go. basically my life is about sleep, study, and eat (and play in between :D). my final exam schedule is out and (i think) im going back home at the end of may *i'll update you after i officially buy the ticket, kay?* oh, and in the last mid-term break, i made a cheesecake! yay! i've always been a cheesecake lover and now im learning to make one for myself!

this is the first cheesecake i ever made and it turned out to be good! im so happy that when my friends ate this, their feedback was good :) and for you who think that making a cake is hard, you should try this. this is very easy, even for a beginner with no cooking-skill, this is easy :) let me share the recipe with you.

Plain Cheesecake topped with Chocolate and Whipped Cream

utensils:
spoon (tablespoon & teaspoon)
bowl
round spring form pan (i use the small one with the 12cm diameter)

ingredients:

cake-base:
80 grams biscuits *approximately 4-5 biscuits* (i use digestive biscuits, but you can use any)
40 grams unsalted butter - melted in a pan
2 table spoon castor sugar (you can find it at supermarket, pretty easy to find)

cake-filling:
125 grams cream cheese (any brand, but i suggest Kraft Philadelphia)
5 tablespoon castor sugar
150 gram whipped cream (depends on your likeness of sweet and fluffiness)
1 tablespoon gelatin - boil with a little water until melted

topping:
the topping is base on your taste, since i like it plain, i dont use much topping. you can use strawberry or blueberry jam (mix it well with hot water before spread on the top of the cheesecake)

cooking chocolate
whipped cream



how to make:

cake-base:
crush the biscuits in the bowl and add the sugar. mix them well. pour the melted butter and mix well. put the crushed biscuit into a round spring form pan and press hard until packed. put the pan in the fridge for min. 1 hour (i put it for about 3 hours).

cake filling:
put the chream cheese and sugar in the bowl. beat the cream cheese with the sugar until mixed well. add the whipped cream and mix. last, put the melted gelatin into the bowl, mix well. pour the mixture into the pan and put again in fridge for 1 day.

topping:
melt the cooking chocolate using a pan filled with water and a bowl. after melt, spread it on the top of the cheesecake. add the whipped cream.

HAPPY EATING :))

p.s.: i know mine is far from good and some of you may have better recipes and cakes, but hey, there's no hurt in sharing something, right? :)
