It's Fitting

ANYWAY, fresh off my retail therapy mission which had been completed today, I am weirdly overwhelmed with holiday spirit. Maybe it’s because I’m anticipating the New Year Celebration at the Red Square tomorrow. This is going to be my last new year countdown in Moscow, and I’m so much further from home..., but all I seem to be observing amongst Russians are their Christmas decorations and cute little families going about their day. Tossing my head and I have to ask myself, "Are these families different"? "Is their holiday spirit different from ours?" And i realized, maybe we'r different in races, nations, n religions, but the feeling, the spirits n the happy faces are just the same....


As i walked in and away from one shop to another today, and on my way back in the metro, i can see people holding lots of shopping bags and everyone were frantically busy doing shopping n holiday errands.... same goes to me myself infact...


i bought something special for myself today... it was on my wishlist for quite a long time, n i'd say that i must be down if not having in my closet.... just wait for the pic ya!!!

BUBBYE 2007............

obviously, 2007 has come to the end…


at the end of it and the beginning of the New Year 2008, i strongly believe this blog needs to cough up a little “What I’ve Learned” sort of post. I’ve blogged here continually since September and before that during my leisure boring time since May, and I think that counts as long enough to have gained some insight into the process and who really am I n who are my wonderful friends.



1) It isn’t as easy n simple to come up with daily posts as I thought it would be. I wake up and get dressed in the morning, i am thinking about writing but then so lil time in the morning n i have to get ready for class, leaving the hostel at 7.30am... feeling tired n exhausted afta class, thinking bout nice lunch+dinner, preparing the ingredients and cooking, enjoying the meals, watching tv series n comedies, resting n studying.... and my day is over... just b4 i crawl up my bed, it's the only perfect time to write n bloghop.....



2. I think you guys need to know this: medical students are all a little bit desperate, because they’re trying to find their way into their aims and destiny and a little bit stressed, because they can't live a single day without reading and analyzing the 1-2 inches thick textbooks.... Really, they’re like boyfriends trying to impress the girlfriends—even if some of them find it as a burden do it with hatred. Think of them this way and if you ever had any holdover notions about medics n medic.student as well as doctors as superior, it will vanish. They’re not superior, they're just pple like u, they want you to like them, they want to treat n cure you, and they have some tricky ways of making it happen, (or failing miserably at it).



3. We are from an extremely diverse group, barely known each others, living up mutual relationships, yet the idea of understanding and pleasing everyone stand the top of all....



4. I am amazed by the unflagging interest you guys have in caring and loving, and I’m really honored to be a conduit for discussing it.



5. Here’s something everyone knows, and the fellow bloggers out there who are reading ESPECIALLY know: this is a strange medium. It’s intensely personal and extremely anonymous. This is more like a contradiction to a real life many of us never guessed and never expected. And yet, maybe it’s simply a question of evolution, because it felt rather comfortable to me from the beginning.



6. Hearing from you all consistently has been the best part of it all! I am so heartly gonna deliver my special thanks to My Love Hannan (because he put my link in his, and i started having u all), Lalink Zie (she's so charming n nice, very sincere in everything she does, n she's the one who encourage me to put CBox in my blog so that we can chat sumtimes), Pu3Nemo @ Fara, Mrs.Sheikh, Chique's, Nadia my long lost friend, Amelin n Hani for being my dearest loyal readers after all.... n thanks also to many others that enjoy reading this piece of blog...

The Last Raya in Moscow



Menu :
Nasi Dagang Mama (Nasi Dagang + Gulai Ayam + Acar timun carrot)

Chef : shieda

Preparation time :
- 7hrs soaking the rice n 90 minutes for steaming.

- 30 minutes to prepare the ingredients

- 45 minutes on gulai, 5 minutes on acar


Resepi asal : Mama...


i heart nasi dagang n so does Huns.... i made it once last semester b4 going back to malaysia cz Lisa gave me the Red Rice special for nasi dagang.... unfortunately din taste like mama's cz i made it Terengganu style.... so when i was in kelantan during summer break, mama taught me the Kelantan version of nasi dagang... i tried my best to make exactly like mama's n the result if i could i would rate myself only 5/10.... but Huns rated me 7/10... so i told myself it was not that bad... huh.... hehe...

Birthday gift

a million thanks for the birthday wish on Hari Raya.... for those who still doesn't know n been wondering, my birthday is actually on the 3rd of September which happened to be on the 8/9th Zulhijjah when i was born 23 years ago.... so, just to make it simple n easy to remember, my mom said i was born on Hari Raya AidilAdha...


mak for sure akan masak pulut kuning wt serunding kelapa, or sumtimes bubur merah on our birthday.... huhu, i do really miss eating bubur merah mak....


Huns gave me a lil surprise the day b4 hari raya... he asked my help to empty his bag n to wash it.... without expecting anything i opened his bag n took out his stuffs... n there was an Arbat Prestij plastic bag inside... YIPPIEEEEEEEEE.... i was glad that he remembered my birthday, n he bought me Miracle Forever by LANCOME.... i was speechless, n felt like crying.... thank u darling.... i really dunno how to express my happiness n how to thank u at that time... but i really appreciate it n really thank u for ur thought, really i did...

Excitement

i spent my previous friday evening with elyn, doing some sort of exercise that is very familiar n synonym among the girls worldwide.... took us almost 7hrs outside, which is 5hrs just for the healthy exercise...from one shop to another, trying this n that, without even care to have lunch first... been on a long queue jz to get into the fitting room, n then again at the payment counter.... n i decided to leave elyn alone at tis one shop while me looking for my thing.... i found about 5-6 handbags at SASCH that really catch my eyes, but since i was alone i got tis kind of problem to choose the best one... afta about half an hour dealing wt myself, counting the price n bergaya in front of the mirror, i made my mind to pick 2 of them....





the one which is slightly greyish-black cost me 1190 roubles ( RM 160), while the dark-gold wt kinda small2 leopard spots costs 1990 roubles (RM 270).... the 2nd one was actually on sale, n i noticed the price went down to 1390 (RM 190).


My budget for the day was 3000, so still i din exceeded my limit... funny thing was, at the counter the cashier said these 2 beg costs me 1780 roubles n i was a bit shocked... i said to myself happily that maybe she made a mistake while keying in the code no.... paid everything n i walked out quickly from the shop, checked the bill in a glance n i was extremely happy n excited because the 2nd bag was only 590 roubles (RM80).... n when i checked again the tag at that handbag, it was written there by hand the final price after double discount.... a great value buy really..


n as a further treat 2myself, i bought a lovely scarf from Lady's Collection.... oso rantai n gelang for my baby Stitch... i did spent my money wisely that day n i was proud of myself... while elyn, she bought a long black long coat, pair of black gloves with beads, a broad shiny black belt wt ribbon, n a gold colour belt....

A FoRtNiGht

p/s..... this is such a lousy, lazy boring diaries..... u can jz skip this entree ok.... hehe


hello guys.... first of all, i would like to say sorry for not updating my blog n making u all worry bout me... if i'm not mistaken, it has been 2weeks since i stop writing here... such a short time but lot of things had taken place.... so now, i'll put my all efforts to jot down briefly rentetan peristiwa sepanjang minggu buat tatapan my dearest readers...


let me begin from friday the 7th.... i had had a very long class n finished only by 6.00 pm.... i was supposed to go to Rosinka to visit Cik Yunos n the family wt few other friends.... since we were extremely tired n exhausted, we decided to take the last bus to their place, which is at 10.30pm ... malang x disangka2, we had been attacked by a group of school boys (8 of them) at the bus stop while waiting for the bus... fortunately they din even touched or disturb the girls... while buya, taka n idham really handle the situation wisely.... we were relieved n so lucky bcz among them, there were 2 nice boys n these 2 pple saved us from the others.. they ended up fighting themselves.... thanx God for saving us that nite...


the next day, we woke up early cz by 2.00 pm, we were gonna have guests about 20-30 pple to come for the majlis bacaan yaasin n tahlil khusus buat arwah ayah Idham yg baru sahaja kembali ke Rahmatullah pada minggu sebelumnya... so, we prepared Nasi Ambeng/Ambang... which is basically plain white rice served wt several special lauk (ayam masak ketumbar/ ayam ungkep, sambal goreng, serunding kelapa, ikan kering bulu ayam, mihun/mee goreng, n few kuih muih terutamanya lengkong/agar-agar.... very popular among Johorians, especially Jawa ).... majlis berakhir lebih kurang jam 3.30 pm, n we left the house by 5.00pm...

MAK... Get Well Soon...

i called home in the evening, n my niece Aqilah answered.... chat with this 9yr old girl sekejap n then asked her to call "nenek".... i sensed sumthing cz usually mak akan bergegas ke telefon untuk bercakap wt me.... n afta a while about nearly a minute waiting, i heard the voice that i miss so much....suara mak tak seceria selalu, mak letih2 bercakap, n i felt so sad that tears running down my cheek...



mak demam, mak muntah 4 kali n cirit birit about 6-7 times since last nite... perut mak sikit2 kembung n sakit sekejap2 tapi mak sapu minyak kapak banyak2.... (minyak urut petani favourite mak dah abis n lom ade orang belikan lagi yg baru)...this is typical food-poisoning symptoms... asked her what she'd been eating the day b4, n i am 100% sure gulai lemak nangka yg mak makan kat rumah orang kenduri tu la penyebab mak sakit...



my auntie, cikdah sent mak to clinic already this morning... so i told mak to drink plain water a lot today n try to eat sumthing walaupun xde appetite langsung.... jz to gain back sum energy cz mom totally lemah.... nasib baik sekarang cuti sekolah, my adik, Elynne n cucu2 mak ade kat rumah untuk tgk2kan n jaga mak sekarang ni... elynne masakkan mak bubur ayam, n harap2 mak lalu makan.... tonite my sis, kaka n the husband akan balik kampung, so i hope kalau esok the symptoms still ade, kaka akan hantar mak ke hospital.... i dont want mak sakit2, i love her so much....



tomorrow i'm going to call mak again afta class, n semoga mak bertambah baik....

craving for sweets n cakes


i've put on one and a half kg last week... semua gara2 terlalu mengikut nafsu n selera tekak yg melampau.... hehe... but, i don really mind bcz i'm not aiming to increase or losing weight, n i'm just happy n greatful with my current condition...



home-made tiramisu... i am a tiramisu maniac



lately, i noticed that i am back to the old me... eating a lot n non-stop during the day, makan snacks n biscuits late in the midnight, craving for sweets all the time.... hiskkk... i have to stop!!! this is bad n killing bcz i am fully aware of my health...



crepe cake.... i love the taste of my own strawberry jam n the chocolate spread



i don wanna be a diabetic patient, i jz don want myself to suffer in the future.... i am gonna be a medical stuff, i am gonna be a doctor... God, pls help me handling my not so healthy appetite... maybe i should start again, yea... i will... once or twice a week really good enough to treat myself with kinda sweet cakes n desserts....

My Delicia Chicken Pie Recipe




1/ For the pie crust


2 cups all purpose flour ( approximately about 220 g)

250 g unsalted butter

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoon sugar

100 ml (1/2 cups ice/ cold water)



cut the butter into small2 cubic size.... add in the flour, salt, n sugar.... Mix ingredients delicately with fingertips, until resemble crumbs.... try to mix them as fast as u can, bcz we dont want the butter to melt.... add in the icy cold water, a bit at one time (this is he key to flaky dough, the colder the butter remains, the easier it is to turn out the ultimate pie). . As soon as the dough feels stable enough to hold together when pressed in the palm of your hand, STOP! (if u Go past that point, your dough will begin to toughen). Make 2 big balls from the dough, by just pressing it together.. n cover in a plastic wrap, chill it in freezer for 1-2 hrs.... when u ready to bake it, just take the dough out of the freezer, roll out on cool dry surface dusted wt floor....




2/ For the filling


whole chicken breast fillet from 1 chicken ( cut into small bite sizes)

carrots (diced) about half-1 cup

celery ( thinly sliced) - from 1 stalk

1 small onion, chopped

3 cloves of garlic, crushed n chopped

1 tsp chicken stock powder, or 1/2 of the chicken cube

1 tblsp of tomato sauce

1 red chilli, sliced (optional cz makes no different to the taste)

1/2 tsp salt n 1 tsp sugar ( can put more depending on ur taste buds )

2 tblsp mayonnaise

1 tblsp cooking oil


pineapple chunks from the can

grated parmesan cheese ( optional, but i jz love the taste of tis cheese.... superb marvelous)


heat up the oil, fry the onion n garlics.... stir fry the chicken for 2mins, n add in carrot, celery, chilli.. when it is cooked, add in chicken stock, tomato sauce, mayonnaise, salt n sugar to taste... cook for another minutes till a bit dry, n it is done.... ( i put a lil bit more mayonnaise when the filling cool already)


u can make different shape of pie.... the only thing is, put jz enough amount of the filling, n top with pineapple... u can put cheese as much as u want... seal the dough wt egg, n decor urself.... make sure u cut a bit the upper cover, ( i simply make 2-3 slits) n brush wt eggs.... bake at 240 degrees celcius for 13-15 minutes, or until the crust turn into golden-yellow-brown colour...

A PROMISE MADE SHOULD BE A PROMISE KEPT

i went to Arbat Prestij last sunday wt Hunn, Ceqsue, n Elyn... though Malaysian Embassy had warned us earlier 2stay at home that day, (they said it may be dangerous to go out during that day since they're having "hari mengundi" in russia) , but we decided to ask masha the condition wether it safe or not for us to go out... hehe.... since masha bagi greenlight guarantee, we all kluar seawal 9.15pagi from hostel... haha... sanggup bgn awal sbb nak g shopping katakan....



n this is the hasil.....


Promesse perfume by Cacharel.... it is a luminous fruity floral fragrance created for the passionate woman. Sparkling notes of fresh citrus mingle with jasmine and orchid blossoms spiked with ripe blackberry. it finishes with a deep, sensual dry down of soft amber, musk, sandalwood, and cedar. I love this one.... ekceli awal2 tu nak bli the red n green apple "be delicious" from DKNY since the price really goes down, but i cant resist myself to pick tis one... hehe....

Magical Winter '07...



got special invitation to attend a Gala dinner last nite at the Renaissance Hotel, Moscow.... organized by MMA students.... the theme for the nite is "Magical Winter '07".... the dinner went beautifully well, plenty of foods n pretty faces here and there....




the best thing was that we won a lucky draw... we were hoping for the Sony Ericsson Handphone or maybe a camera... unlucky, we just got an iPod flash...





i am really crazy bout belly dancing ( actually i was a dancer b4, just retired year ago bcz lately been very bz n i can't give fully commitment on the training session, i can dance Zapin really well, n Joget as well plus some ngajat n few more dance.... )... been peeping thru youtube quite regularly just to learn belly dancing steps, n happen that nite my pwetty fren, Priscilla did it wt another 2 gals.... the dance was really lovely..... n she looks great in the costume oso...


Sad and Lonely Sunday

Look at the sad girl
her world just goes by in a whirl....
when she looks out the window...
she sees the cars go by
she has nothing to do, but sit and cry...
nobody cares, to know why...
people talks and blames her for things she didn't do..
people laugh and having fun in front of her...
people ignore her....
she is lost and need to be found
she is quiet but not still
she cry dry tears.....
she wonders why people are like that...
they make her suffer
She loves everyone
but she is tired of the pain and heartache....

depressed

"Best friends are like diamonds, precious and rare
False friends are like leaves, found everywhere."
i hate being me....

BUN... Bunny.... BUN


ni lah rupe bun yang x serupa bun langsung.... hehe, sbbnya masa tu baru kol 8 malam tapi mata dah kuyu, so malas nak bentukkan bun tu cantik2 n malas nak tggu doh tu naik dulu....just tggu 25min, trus bakar.... siap je bakar trus simpan dulu n bawak bun ni g klas esok harinya untuk snack time...
