Deep sense of excitement.

Ok, I seriously would never have believed it. Masterchef Malaysia. Malaysia. Wow, mind blowing if you ask me.

I was so inspired, so blown away just by watching the Junior Masterchef Australia imagine it here, at our shores.
I am so tempted, so excited,I mean, I am eligible to apply, to be part of this so-called fantasy/fairytale.

I have to admit, I am not a professional, I don't even think I can call myself an amateur, but I have the passion, the will to at least it try out.

I have to tell myself though, to not expect the same environment, the same tools, kitchen and people but I am willing to try it out. It may seem a little odd to me, having to cook nasi lemak or ayam masak lemak in a prominent and well known company or show or whatever it is.

I would go for it, if it not for the worry that it might clash with my studies. =(

I may be young but I am not as impulsive as many believe teenagers to be. Hold that thought, I am no longer a teenager.

Ok, I have to push this out of my mind and concentrate with my assignments at the moment.

Masterchef, be gone!

*poof*

Desperate...

Well, since my oven is no longer available... Time for desperate measures.

Baked a cake using my mum's turbo oven usually used to roast chicken.


This was suppose to be butter cake but added some leftover melted chocolate.

This is the other side of the cake. It wasn't up to standard, mum said it tasted neither like butter cake nor chocolate cake. The leftover chocolate wasn't enough to turn it into a chocolate cake and yet was enough to not make it a butter cake. =(

But others commented that it was good, wasn't too sweet which was to their liking.

Well, as the saying goes, one man's meat is another man's poison.

Am trying to listen to songs that are not my usual stuff. Not those hard metal rock stuff, just some jazz, blues and R&B.

Time to get outta my comfort zone.

What don't kill you, only makes you stornger.

It ain't easy trying to understand someone when you haven't discover your own self. Don't push your own expectations on someone. If you want certain qualities on that someone, make sure you yourself have those qualities first.

There may be bad times, but reminiscing about the good times always put a smile on my face. =)

We have fought, loved and cried, shared happy memories and heart-breaking ones, but that only makes us stronger in our relationship. It is actually a step closer into understanding one another more.

The season of browsing through food blogs has returned, giving me the urge to want to bake more. Unfortunately, my oven is not functioning properly thus rendering me helpless in my quest to hone my skills in baking. =(

Starting to slack off a bit.

No good, no good. BUCK UP DIX!

Down memory lane...

Something I drew in class when the lecturer went out of topic.
















Are you hyperventilating right now. You are? Good, because that was the reaction I was hoping for. Fat cats and dogs. =) Pure happiness.

I apologise for the topsy turvey pictures, am too lazy to rotate them to the right angles.

Will do more writing and less procrastinating. I promise.

Typical Stereotyping.

I was walking to the car park in Taylor's the other day when I saw these two girls in front of me. One of them had pretty long nice legs and she was wearing really short shorts. And coming from the opposite direction were some guys and I caught all three of the guys staring at her. Stared all the way until she was out of sight and as we continued walking, I even saw the guard manning the guard house staring as well. I couldn't help but laugh. I was so tickled by the fact that guys are so... easily led by physical attraction. Sorry to say that, when I saw her turn, she wasn't drop dead gorgeous, just average. =p Not to be judgmental but she got all the attention she wanted by baring her legs.

Tireless Journey.

Hmm, I have not been updating as often as I would've liked. Assignments this semester just comes shooting without a pause. Even before we submit the first assignment, the second assignment is almost due. How annoying can that be, not that I'm really complaining. I have learnt to coped with the stress, to be honest, I am not feeling stress at all. Probably it's because so far, I am up-to-date with my assignments. I wouldn't say I am so darn hardworking but as far as I can see, there seems to be an improvement.

Have been addicted to Sam Tsui and all the covers and mash-ups that he does. His voice is delicious. =) Very talented BUT he doesn't like girls! I mean come on, isn't it bad enough that there aren't that many guys out there but he has to be gay? He's quite good looking too. Awww, shucks, 1 point to the guys, 0 for the girls.

I really envy people who can sing. Who has the talent to produce music from within,without an instrument. =)

That is all for now,this post is like a little reward for being quite,QUITE, hardworking.

Peace out YO!

Fish Head Noodles.

=) Another proud achievement. Made fish head noodles without a recipe. Just from memory. I ate it a few times before,this month being the most recent. Yup, from memory.
Just needed the right ingredients which were ham choi(salted vege), tofu, fish bones, tomatoes, chinese wine and evaporated milk.

Don't ask me why, the sudden urge to make this noodles. My dad and I were joking around one day, and I kinda said I would try making this dish. He reminded me soon enough and therefore I decided to embark on this!

I had to go through the ordeal of frying the fish bones and head. Imagine the splattering of very very hot oil when the fish meets the hot oil. I had a few splashes of hot oil on me and ouch, it really hurts.


Added some homemade fish cakes or "yee pang". I made that too, from fish meat, using hand, adding flour, salt and pepper. Mum added "yin sai" or in English, coriander. It made the fish cake so much better with the fresh burst of the coriander.

My dad had a huge helping which made all the hard work worth while. Whole family enjoyed dinner. =)

Chrissie said that from now on, I shall have more assignment from home. Since I've managed to make this, the next assignment would be to make "Roti Boy".

Btw, I may be in the communication field but I really hope one day that I would be able to open a restaurant or cafe or bistro or anything to do with the F&B industry.

Someday,I wanna be my own boss!
