summer fruits cheese cake

well, aritu aku kecewa gile.. aku akan berhati2 ikut resepi2 kat blog org.. ade resepi pandan chiffon cake.. guna eggs 8 bijik you all.. tapi sebab insan tersebut cam ckp cake itu best, aku pon buat lah.. bile dah siap, rasa cam bengkang kut.. ces, abes telur aku.. adakah aku yg tak reti buat.. huhu

demi mengubat kekecewaaan aku dan kawan2 yg terpaksa mkn bengkang pandan aku, aku dengan semangat nye buat summer fruits cheesecake, ikut kepala otak sendrik ini.. berdasarkan pengalaman pahit aku mencari dan bereksperimen cheesecake.. aku taktau nape, kalu aku ikut resepi orang utk buat cheesecake mesti tak jadi, keras lah, x sedap lah.. soo terpaksa ikut otak sendrik

ingredient

400gm cream cheese
1 whole tube of elmlea double cream
2 eggs
castor sugar [ikut suke]
2 tablespoon cornflour
1 whole can summer fruits [aku masak atas api soo that tak berair sgt]
1 teaspoon vanilla essence

based
half pack digestive biscuit di hancur2kan
50gm butter [ini pon ikut otak]
1 dash of ginger powder

1) buat base dulu, campurkan digestive biscuit yg dah dihancur dan butter yg telah dicairkan.. pastu masuk ginger powder.. butter tuh agak2 bley melekat kat base spring foam
2) bake biscuit based for 15 min, then sejukkan
3) combined cream cheese, cream, sugar, vanilla essence and cornflour.. jgn overbeat tau, nanti cake merekah kat tgh
4) lastly baru letak egg then masukkan summer fruits yg telah dipekatkan td [make sure pekat btol kalu tak nanti, cheesecake too cair]
5) tuang atas digestive biscuit tadi and bake for 180 degree, 20 min [depends on ur oven]
6) tp cheesecake aku kali nih merekah kat tgh, actually bile bake tuh, bile tgh2 cake tuh still lg cair [about 2-3 inches], dah kena switch off oven.. baru cheesecake smooth jee kat atas.. itu menurut tips kat internet lah..

oh, kat msia cream cheese mahal gile!!
other tips how to get a smooth surface [aku akan try next time]
1) dont over mix
2) switch off the oven when the middle part of the cake still uncooked, then letak something on top like plate ke, ape ke, so that it slowly cook
3) use water bath
4) masak slowly, bile dah masak lalukan knife at the edge so that cake tuh bley shrink

next experiment
- oreo cheesecake !!

Butthurt

i've been cycling 20-40 minutes Monday to Friday depending on whether i decided to have my lunch at home or at work.. well, a lot of my colleagues at work thought that i'm such a sports/health geek.. the truth is i'm NOT.. i just need to shed these extra kilos before the wedding, thats all.. i always do things for the wrong reasons, hahha..

lately, i notices that i start to get cramp over my bum especially when i have to cycle up hill... well, at least the GP practice sits at the bottom of a hill, so i dont have any excuse to go AWOL... hahha.. plus the lollipop pakcik in front of the school always greets me every morning..

oh lelaki berseluar pendek, i like di sini

i think i understand what does butthurt means now.. hahha

i love free stuff

aku sangat sangat gembira arini.. aku berjaya dapat perfume Miss Dior Cherry FREE!!.. yes anda tak salah baca, FREE!!

jangan salah sangka, ini bukan hadiah dari sugar daddy or bukan hasil daripada kegiatan tidak bermoral [walaupon aku ada jugak buat kegiatan tidak bermorak, tapi hasilnya agak berbeza.. hahha]

cerita begini, setelah dekat setahun setengah aku kumpul Boots points untuk dapatkan perfume free, aku agak kecewa sebab masih tak cukup untuk beli gift set perfume untuk boss, jadi aku aim Miss Dior tapi still tak cukup, soo cadang2 nak beli Lancome Tresor jee lah..

hello sayangku
akhirnya aku berjaya jugak dapat.. alhamdulillah!!.. ada seorang kawan aku mintak aku beli perfume untuk dia, ditakdirkan price for that perfume membolehkan aku dapat 3 pound worth Boots points which was just enough for me to get Miss Dior Cherry for free!!

Miss Dior Cherry, we are meant to be together.. inilah jodoh kita sayang..

Success is a relative term

Success is a relative term..

kiranya bagi sesetengah orang, berjaya berak setiap hari adalah sangat membanggakan..
berjaya kurangkan berat badan sebanyak sekilo adalah pencapaian maha hebat

tapi yang pastinya tak perlulah untuk kita compare our achievements with someone else.. coz if you try to do that, u'll never satisfy with what u've got..
cukuplah ada rumah yg kita mampu, tak perlulah banding2 kan dengan rumah banglo 3 tingkat
cukuplah bawak proton kalu itu yang kita mampu, tak perlu bergolak gadai nak beli Mini Cooper misalnya

hidup mesti berjuang di sini
tapi semangat juang mesti ada, jangan pulak malas nak berusaha dan mengharap rezeki jatuh ke riba
berusaha lah sedaya mungkin tapi kalu still tak dapat apa yang kita mahu, redha sahaja lah

i know it's difficult to accept failure, but it's part of life.. secara realitinya, dalam hidup ini mesti ade success and failure.. mana boleh nak menang jee kan.. baru lah ada asam dan garam dalam hidup


By experiencing both victory and defeat, running away, and shedding tears, a man will become a man - Shanks, Red-haired pirate, One piece

Luffy yang selama2 nih lawan sape pon tak pernah kalah, tiba2 kalah tak dapat selamatkan abg dia.. baru lah jalan cerita One Piece nih best sket.. tak best lah jugak kalu asyik menang jee kan.. 

apekehal aku melalut lak cerita pasal anime nih, hehe.. anyway, hidup kena enjoy!!

tak mungkin kerana sayang


Dalam kehidupan kita, manusia datang dan pergi.. adakala nya mereka meninggalkan kenangan manis buat kita tapi tak kurang juga perkara2 yang pahit.. 

walau apa pon,  kenangan dan pengalaman itulah yang membentuk diri kita hari ini.. ianya mematangkan diri kita dan teaches us something about life.. 

setiap yang pergi pasti ada yang bakal datang sebagai pengganti

Perasaan ditinggalkan

Aku mula tinggal di asrama dari umur 13 hinggalah sekarang, aku memang sentiasa jauh dari rumah..

Sewaktu di asrama, memang sedey lah everytime bila dah abes cuti sebab kena balik asrama.. asrama pulak jauh dekat Sg Petani nun.. kiranya kalu travel balik memang dekat 5-6 jam lah sebab xde bus direct.. homesick lah waktu form 1 dulu... dah lama2 ok sket, sebab dah ramai geng nak buat keje2 jahat..

Dah puas kat utara, masuk lak college kat area selangor.. sekali lagi kena travel jauh.. puduraya kirenya tempat wajib pegi lah everytime nak balik kampung..  sudah lah puduraya waktu itu memang gile kotor, berabuk dan crowded.. teringin lak nak tgk puduraya yg baru nih..

Kemudian belajar lak dekat oversea, lagi sekali travelling yg maha jauh.. 14 jam dekat.. rasanya memang dah muak gile kut naik flight.. mula2 dulu excited sekarang nih, memang rasa down gile bile nak naik flight..

lonely di sini
selama2 aku merantau dekat separuh dr umur aku sekarang, memang rasa sedey nak tinggalkan family kat rumah... ye lah bukan selalu jumpe, nak berkumpul ramai2 pon susah.. boss pon aku jumpe setahun sekali jee..

tapi aku rasa sedey2 aku nak merantau, lagi sedey perasaan orang yg ditinggalkan cthnye family aku dan boss..

sejak dua tahun kebelakangan ini aku dah mula rasakan bagaimana perasaan ditinggalkan itu.. kawan2 aku mula balik ke malaysia seorang demi seorang.. rasa sedey jugak.. semakin kurang teman2 nak buat activiti sama2.. sebab tempat aku sekarang agak susah nak gi bershopping dan foya2, makin mati kutu aku dibuatnya.. kalu sanggup bayar mahal2 naik taxi bolehlah kan..

tapi perasaan yang paling tak best ialah bila aku ditinggalkan dan disebabkan itu, hubungan aku dengan insan tersebut berubah 360 degree.. berubah ke benci dan dendam..  i think in certain relationships u just cant run away from that.. there is always bitterness ... no matter how hard you try to end it up nicely.. you just cant..
