satisfaction

here we go, the farewell post before i come back here on the new trimester. i am officially done with exam, just finished my last one and it did suck to the maxxxx. okay, stop talking about exam ;D

im gonna spend 3 weeks in my hometown, and i predict that most of my times will be used to do some research about my final year project, so yeah, i dont expect much for the holiday. gonna be back on june 22, kay? do miss me please ;p

oh, and one thing before g'bye, i am officially in love with adam lambert. not that the previous post didnt show it but, it is official! i googled him, watched every video where he sings, talks, any interview, read any news about him. oh my. i couldnt stop smiling seeing him smile, too cute to be true. and hell yeah, i listen to every of his song all night long. could it be, love? hahahaha LOL!

(i am very sorry i couldnt recall the source of the pics, once i get the source, i'll post it :))

so, goodbye for now people, smooch you later. wish me a nice and safe flight. and for you who are expecting holiday, have a happy one! ciao! xoxo

i will remember you

today is the 25th of may, 4 days more and im going hooome! yiayyyy! by the way, i've been very busy with exam and final year project's stuff but there's always plenty of time to have some fun! :D i've installed the sims 3 and just like the older version of it, addicting! yesterday i sat in front of my computer for more than 7 hours playing, oh maaaan. and yes, it is sooooooo cool and real. and cool. very cool, i mean. you should try to play, but beware of the addiction please ;p

i just found out that kris allen is the winner of american idol for this season. i know, i know, i am so late whatsoever, but hey, i dont have any television with cable connection here. and do you remember, exams and assignments are my new bestfriends, so please forgive me ;D last night i spent hours to browse about the finalist, adam lambert and kris allen and i suddenly fall in love with adam. he is cute and his voice is just too good to be true. oh maaaaaan, you should see all his performances, especially in the finale night, when he did duet with kiss (yes, the legendary kiss, the one with the face painting, truly true!), and he and kris joining queen to sing we are the champion. goshhh, in my opinion, his voice is just like freddie mercury! too bad he didn't win :( but i think this is the best finale so far. and last year's davids was good too.

look how cute they are!!!!!!!! i am melting everytime i see this video :))

there are a lot of speculations about why adam didn't win because he was always everyone's favourite (even the judges!). some said that it is because his sexual orientation (he is gay, by the way), and about kris's religious side, he is a missionarist and has gone to africa and asia to spread christianity and anything. it is sooo sad to hear about the speculation because in my opinion AI should be a singing competition, nothing else matter. i dont say that kris is bad, he is good, he could play guitar, piano, violin (!!!!!!), and he is very cute, but for the quality of the voice, adam is waaaaay better :) oh, and another shocking information, there were ONE HUNDRED MILLION votes. yes, one hundred million. could you believe that? it is five times of Malaysia's population, from the newborn to the oldest. crrrrrrrazy!

gotta go now, still have two exams and i havent packed anything in my luggage. ciao!

p.s.: i promise, i'll post something before im going back home. maybe just a simple bye, maybe something longer than that :D

love and magic

i feel like i am old. really. ive been wondering and suddenly i realized that next october will be my fourth year of college and will be my last! that is relieving for sure, but before that i have to do the final year project. this is why i am feeling old. doing a project, build a system, ALONE. no group mates, no help from other people *well, i might be exagerrating, but yeah, you get the idea, dont you?* ive been going back and forth home and campus, making appointment to see lecturers, filtering proposed title that i feel like i can do, and maaaan that's hard! most of the proposed title are very hard, including the word robot, or recognition system, or biometric, or fuzzy control, or satellites. hell, i dont even know what most of the words mean! i feel soo soo soo dumb. and suddenly, couple of days ago, i met one of my lecturers and she said that she could help me with this title, 'Web-based fun learning system for preschool children'. yay, no difficult words! but there is no confirmation yet about the title so i am still waiting, we'll see about that monday, 'kay?

so how was your weekend people? good? bad? in between? don't ask me until we reach the end of may, will you? gotta go now, have to read some more papers, write some more answers. ugghh, i hate exams! :(

oh, at last, today's quote:

"I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure--which is:

Try to please everybody."

Herbert Bayard Swope

since i have to register subjects for next semester, i decided to wake up early because i have to compete with others to get the subjects i want. so i woke up at 8.45, pretty early for holiday right? i registered four subjects and i still have to register one more subject but apparently the system is sooo dumb that i couldnt register. i've mailed the person in charge and her reply was 'the system need to refresh itself. please be patient and try again later'. sigh. ive been waiting for two and a half bloody hour and i still cannot register that subject. oh Operating System 1, please, please, befriend with me.

to be alone with you

its been a long time since my last post and yes, i do realize that. the problem is i have no time to do anything beside studying and working on my assignments, so yeah, i was busy, reallll busy! april is the most devilish month of all, i spent most of my time at home, whether writing, typing, or thinking. oh, my brain was going to explode, but thanks to those long sleep after exams and assignments, i am doing really good. in fact, i am ready to face all my final exams. yeah. right. i lied. of course ;p

the happy time is comiing! im counting down from 17 and voila, the day of the freedom will coming muahahahahaha cant wait to go back! i feel like having some rest before fighting again, after this, the battle will be harder. do i have to tell you about my college problem (again)? yes, i do. you know, next october will be my fourth year of college and hopefully will be the last. so, i will be doing the final year project for two semesters and followed by industrial training. and the fact is, im not ready, at all. i have no knowledge at all. oh, and while i will be doing the final year project, i will still be taking subjects. yeah. sucks. i know. but there are no other option if i want to graduate on time. i have to follow the plan or else, i will be hanging around here for another year or so. suckssssssssssssssss.

but then, the good news is comiing. apart from going home, which also a good news, one of my wish in my wishlist will soon come true. sooooooooo excited! but im not gonna spill it now, just wait and see ;))))) ooh, and i just arrived from my boyfriend's place and as usual, we spent most of our times hugging kissing and cuddling so yeah im in ♥♥♥ :))

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? :)
