dinner nasi lemak....



nah Z... jgn nak menjeles ok kat ida.... i had my nasi lemak oredi today... n for the lauk yg biasa ida rebus telur, goreng groundnuts n some anchovies, plus sliced cucumber.... untuk additional side dish, ida goreng fillet ikan tilapia ngan kunyit n tepung sikit, and i fried my favourite mushroom too....





actually mushroom tiram goreng ni favourite adeq shieda n mak selalu gorengkan untuk die buat bekal g sekolah menengah dulu..... n bile shieda try, mmg heaven.... so mase shieda bz wat practical n intern kat Hospital Muar @ Hosp. Pakar Sultanah Fatimah dulu pon, mak slalulah bekalkan shieda ngan cendawan goreng ni.... hehe... but my mom goreng ngan bancuhan tepung ala2 nak goreng pisang tu... while me kat cni always alter all the recipe... i fry it like KFC....

so easy, just whisk an egg or 2 wt pint of salt, lil bit of chilli n tumeric powder, n 1/3rd chicken cube stock.... cendawan tu boley siat kecik2 or jz biarkan besar kalau nak nampak cantik.... gaul hati2 cendawan ngan telur tu, n pour some powder into them.... gently try to coat all the surface wt egg n flour... biar lembap2 tepung bertelur baru best digoreng....

goreng deep fry gune max.heat.... 1-2minutes, balikkan n take it out bile dah kuning n cantik2....

i am still full from my dinner n rite now lazily doing nothing.... in 2hrs time, i'll force myself to sleep bcz tomorrow i'm going shopping wt Ceqsue.... hoorayyyyy!!!

ooops.... cop2.... just curious did u all notice that lately shieda banyak mengedit gamba??? hehe, kalau nak taww i just learned how to use the adobe photoshop from my darling... sian die kne bersabar ajar shieda ni... so stupid rite shieda, this fun easy to do thing pon slow gler nak belajar.... well, i've to admit that shieda mmg teruk bab2 computer nie.... sbbnye mase sekolah dulu ponteng klas computer dok nyorok dalam toilet ngna 3org lagi bestpren.... klakar sungguh biler pk2 balik sbb ikutkan dulu shieda ni agak nerd la, but managed to ponteng taww..... hehe

shieda's french toast

BREAKFAST..... ok guys, i just wanna share with u all what did Huns eat during his breakfast today.... please note that his breakfast was about at 3.30p.m.... i had my breakfast wt ceqsue earlier ( rice wt blackpepper meat, n pistachio nuts - these are sue's , shieda cuwik2 sikit mase die makan )....

since Huns is going to play futsal at 5pm, i need to prepare him the most nutritious yet the simplest n easiest meal..... ( remember!!! breakfast is supposed to be the healthiest meal for the day, u shudn't skip it, u must take it and this really helps those pple who are on diet bcz eating healthy delicious breakfast will avoid u from taking all those devil junk food !!!) i decided to do sum french toast for him.... i make it a bit different from usual, n these are the results....


what i did to these bread was simply coat them in the eggs mixture..... arrange them in a baking pan n top wt some slices of good fruits....
  • to prepare the egg : 1 large egg + 50-60ml of vanilla milk (which is about 3tablespoon) + half tblsp of sugar + half tsp of salt + 1tblsp grated cheese)..... whisk them well

  • preheat the oven to 220-250 degrees....

  • place 40 g of margerine / butter in the pan (loyang) n put in the preheated oven.....

  • meanwhile, coat the bread wt eggs n put aside..... bile terdengar minyak percik2 dalam loyang tu, take it out n place all the egg-coated breads in one layer.... i had canned strawberry , banana n kiwi in my stock, so i just placed them on the bread.... french toast and fruits, they are really good frens too, n they did well together...

  • bake in the oven for 10 minutes or until the bread is dry yet still soft.... bcz we only want to cook the egg, n don't want the bread to burn..
yeah... that's it... very simple.... delicious, lovely n yummy....

gurls.... are u ready to rock????

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference."


hehe, kinda boring actually this holiday... it's so quiet and peaceful in here, since most of the students going out for winter vacation...doesn't border me at all cuz i had enough eurotrip during last summer break n winter 2yrs ago.... while this winter i do really need sum rest n perhaps enjoying the last winter holiday in moscow..... moscow will turn out gloomy if huns n me not here thou... hiks...


wut happened for the past few days was i really messed up wt my daily schedule... stayed up late till dawn wt my roommie,...did nothing except stuff up the stomach... woke up late for Subuh, n continued zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz till zuhur almost finish.... really disappointing n really not fun....

as the holidays going so fast, n i am so aware to miss doing a lot of fun stuff, ceqsue n i decided to switch the lamp off sharp at 2 a.m.... wutever it is, we need to sleep early in order to wake up in the morning... it is not easy when we'r not sleepy at all but i just keep counting until i lost.... n wut a miracle today!!! we woke up at 9, n just get active afta that.... we watched Nana Tanjung 2, had breakfast together, n by 12noon, i oredi took a bathe n rite now sitting here updating my blog....

i am waiting for Huns to get up from the bed... we'r going to do some shopping on groceries, n later in the evening i'm going to cook nasi lemak sbb dah tak tahan tgk Z makan nasi lemak sowang2 manjang... menjeles ni tau..

so for now, been thinking to upload some photos of me n my plastic faces... i toyed my face during the 1st n 2nd day of holiday bcz cudn't wait to put on make-up anymore.... plus i'm so angry wt my make-up things cuz still x abis2 till now.... m getting bored of them, n wanting to buy new one... hihi, i'm so bad....

Swing Coat.... Poncho



it is really a simple garment, loose and comfortable.... it doesnt fit correctly to ur body, bcz it is designed to be as loose as possible, to let it swing following ur foot steps....



being a fashion bird, i never missed to admire lot of fashionable clothing down the runway.... plus fashion magazines enthusiastically push it; a celebrity is photographed wearing it; suddenly, i am buying it....



this new look had been in my wishlist since last june when i saw it in one of the women magazine here.... i've been looking for it since months, found some that really suit me well but unfortunately couldn't afford to buy it.... not that expensive, but it just me got some other more important stuffs to buy first... and at last i managed to buy it as a treat of getting flying colours in my exams....



it cost me only RM120, and that price was good enough... though JPA hasn't bank in our allowance yet, but i can't let that coat being grabbed by sumone else since it is very difficult to find S-size here... n thanx to my along for the RM200 she'd deposited in my account 4 days ago, so dat i won't feel guilty to spend the money though tgh kering ni... but then according to huns better to pay using his card since our money is ours,.... so here it is... me wt my new coat.... i'm still malu2 to post in this new coat, plus the sleeve like always a bit long for me....


i've shortened the sleeves last nite, and now i am sooo ready to go out wt my Swing Coat....
i'll look definitely like the model in above picture, only wt slightly short coat.... pretty rite????

he's my everything

assalamualaikum semua....

first and foremost, i'd like to thank you all for the wishes, the prayers, the courages and all the supports u guys gave during my exam period.... i took every single word seriously which gave me lot of confidence that i finally went thru both of my state exam... they were pretty hard but all the efforts n hardwork paid off....

i had a long sleep yesterday, and really a good rest all day afta..... was so lazy to do anything, even just to eat... Huns went out, Ceqsue also went out wt lisa, the rest left for holiday already, and i stayed alone, locked myself in my room doing nothing... definitely boring, but i couldn't get my ass away from the bed... i am glued there...

i watched AJL live from http://tv3.com.my..... was so impressed wt Siti, Bob, Jac n Lah, Nora n the special performance from Ziana n Nicky.... but i am very sure if only Faizal Tahir managed to perform, Anugerah Juara Lagu absolutely his... i am a big fan of him.... and many more pple out there gonna vote for him... i do have such thought that sum pple just envy of him... must be, n these pple don't want him to win this AJL... i am really sorry for him...


Huns made a request, for me to cook nasi beriyani afta the exam.... it's been a long time since i cook nasi2 special nie... so, while he went out playing futsal, i cooked the nasi n served wt rendang ayam n acar specially for him...


and i was sooooo delighted to see him bring back flower for me...... he bought me pink lily that smells so nice....

this pink lily is a real beauty and simply stunning.... gorgeous and natural... thanx a lot dear....

it's coming nearer.............

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal:
it is the courage to continue that counts.”

gone but not forgotten

Winter is probably the best time for me to indulge in the sweet good smell of perfumes....

it is sumthing bout the thick clothes, the unspeakable mood, the darkness, n the whitey season itself... ur day could be so gloomy n misty, that only the power of such fragrant will blossom it up...




being a perfume mania really gives me thousands of happiness in the world.... u don't need a word to express ur feeling for the day bcz the smell of the perfume itself is enough to tell the world...


every single perfume in my collection has a definite meaning....

1/ GUCCI RUSH
Not floral or sweet, this perfume is seductive, spicey, and rich., perfect for day or night wear. People notice and remember me forever, cz lots of my frens said everytime they smell GUCCI RUSH, they smell me.... i feel very feminine, youthful, and classy. As the name says, it floods my senses with a RUSH of sensations, n i feel very sexy
I heart GUCCI RUSH more than others cz this is the very first HUNS gift for me during our first day-out.... n it was on 26th of june 2003.... our first day together..

2/ ULTRAVIOLET by Paco Rabanne
The 2nd i had in my collection.... oso from Huns.... smell a bit strange to me
at first, but afta 2-3yrs of keeping, now i start liking it...

3/ GUCCI RUSH 2
my Gucci Rush from huns finished when i was back in malaysia, so went to SOGO to buy new one.... bought the 50ml of Rush n got a free set of Rush 2... what a great buying rite...

n then, Huns bought me this Rush 2 last semester..


4/ Deep Red by Hugo Boss

A good fren of ours, David gave me this absolutely fantastic dramatic scent on my 20th birthday..... smell very me...
5/ True Star "Beyonce" by Tommy Hilfiger
here in Russia, we celebrate Woman's Day on 8th of March every year.... according to old Russian tradition, man should at least bring back a loaf of bread for their wife whom is waiting at home... but this is not gonna happen in 20-21st century... million bouquets of flowers definitely being sold during this day, but for those who can't really afford to get their loved ones this awesome looking bouquets, sekuntum bunga pon dah memadai...
hehe, n Huns being so generous to get me a new fragrance by Tommy Hilfiger, for the woman's day two years ago... True Star featuring Beyonce is a great stylish way too good for any occasion.... the smell reveals truly my girlish site...
6/ Incanto Dreams by Salvatore Ferragamo
this one really a sweet & fresh fragrance for me. Conveys colorful youthful & light-hearted spirit of shieda..... hehe
7/ Euphoria by Calvin Klein (CK women)
"I absolutely LOVE this perfume. It has just the right balance of sweet and floral, with a touch of musk. The scent lasts forever, and for me is a great scent to use at work, out on a date, or to just about anywhere.
8/ Espirit (not in the picture)
Smell a bit sporty, n doesn't really go well with me... i bought it bcz of the cheap price... muahahah
9/ Promesse by Cacharel
the sweetest smell ever.... even more than incanto.....
10/ Miracle Forever by lancome
smell very flowery, n not really my keen.... but ever since Huns bought it for me, i am so into flower fragrance now.... it brings out my femininity...
the smell really last forever.... n u won't regret of buying n having it in ur collection...


beside all the original ones, i also own the ciplak juga taww.... my sis used to be a perfume n make-up dealer, haha... for the non-ori la... n since she quit the job, yet still there'r few boxes of several kind of perfume left in the storeroom of her house, she gave away 2 bottles for free to me... RALPH by Ralph Lauren (not in the pic) which smells lovely n great, n Pure Purple by Hugo Boss ( just ok-ok)...

i love any smells from any perfume, as long as they'r not too strong, not too powdery, not too floral like any of those by Estee lauder, they'll do just right....

hehe.... so guys, perhaps some of u wouldn't mind sharing ur fragrance with me...

u can dance!!!

i got nothing to write at this moment.... no new photos, no new stories, no xtvts at all.... preparation week seriously can be boring... n i am not in the mood to study... earlier tonite, when i was thinking of going to sleep, i clear my bed, put my telekung near the pillow so the first thing that will pop in my head when i open my eyes in the morning will only be Subuh... unfortunately, the telekung nearly fell down n suddenly something sticking out from the lipatan.... that was not cool, that thing was not breathtaking.... all i could say that thing was a terrible blow...


how can that yellow-black scaly creature be on my bed, and sneak into my telekung...??? i hate that!!!! i knew it was either Lisa or Gma, Ceqsue will never did such things to me... but they all berkomplot to mock me this time... only that i cudn't take this kind of joke... i am not afraid of snakes, i just hate them n the thru is i hate all plastic animals.... they seem so live n makes me geliiiiii...


shieda x mampu wat pe2 dah, jerit n trus menangis kat pintu luar... ceqsue cpt2 simpan that ular, die sangat terkejut n kept saying sorry to me.... she told lisa bout that, n when i was lying on my bed few minutes later lisa came with that thing n teased me again... i hide my face under a pillow scare to look at her bcz i knew she was holding it... all of sudden, sumthing fell near my head that i thought it was the snake n i burst into tears again... pls, keep that thing away from me...

ok, let's forget bout the snake.... since there's no new pictures, i checked back my collection n look here what i found....


i was a dancer before... i started dancing since kindergarten, i played piano and xylophone too.. since then i knew that i love dancing and i love playing instrument... afta UPSR, i learned Zapin wt all my heart... i was very active in scouting n i got the chance to show pple my Zapin during camporee n jambori... i dance a lot during my free time, n here in moscow i used to dance few times in several show...

these are all the supporters... plus the dancer of course!!! we were performing for sum sort of International Moscow Medical Student Gathering...



ok... i am very sure for lalink Zie n dear Husna, these costume must be very familiar to u 2 rite... so, wanna make a guess what danc was it actually???/

Alhamdulillah

i feel good... i feel happy... and i am happy...


look at her... n look at the E-class Merc hanging upside down on the ceiling

" i maybe as bad as the worst, but Thank God i am as good as the BEST"


we left for the hospital very early, just afta i performed the Subuh prayer... felt cold n it was such a terrible feeling inside me... did prepare for the exams but seems like my confidence is sumwhere outside my body for the past few days, which makes me fear of exam... n that's the reason i stop blogging for 2days... i just wanna push my best, bcz this is my final year n i don't wanna spoil everything... i am hoping deep inside my heart to maintain my achievement,...
elyn wt the ANNA SUI bag at the airport

it was SURGERY State/National Exam... basically it covers a really wide big topics of surgical themes, anything that has connection with surgery... from ENT, OnG, orthopedics, abdominal surgery, cardio-thoracic, oncology n many more...

the exam is divided into 2 parts... MCQs n Oral... in order to qualify into the 2nd oral part, each n everyone should pass the MCQs... there are 80 questions, among which almost 3/4 of them are long, situational cases, (i hate them the most cz i can't do my scan reading since every single details of patient's history n lab results given helps u to answer the quests..).... given 90 minutes, without having enuff time to re-check the answers, even sum of us haven't done answering yet, all we could do after is just hoping for the best n perhaps for a miracle... only those who got under 30 Q's wrong were able to enter the 2nd part.... n i did it quite well, got only 14 Q's wrong n i was very happy wt the results...

then for the oral part.... pick a ticket that consists of 3 situational cases, the first 2 are surgical topics, while the last is either ortho, or sumthing else... and we have to confront 3surgeons to answer them... each of them will ask anything they like, n the mark really depends on them...

despite all the difficulties we went thru, the exam went very smooth, relax n beautifully... i managed to get the excellent mark n i am still happy rite till now.... but.... i am not done yet.... still have another one state exam waiting ahead this coming saturday... so fo tonite i am resting my head, my mood, clear my mind n just tomorrow nite i'll go back to the books preparing for the next exam... i am dying to finish them all bcz the holidays is coming over afta that....


n there's a lot of thing i wish to do in this holiday...

if only Elyn is here....

i will definitely missing her a lot, n probably shopping wouldn't be fun without her... which means, i've to drag Huns to accompany me doing the retail therapy la... hehe... n he oso must be missing this gurl who seems to be just like our lil sis all these days...

my dream world......

counting the days....

When night hath set her silver lamp high, Then is the time for study.



These studies are the food of youth, and consolation of age; they adorn prosperity, and are the comfort and refuge of adversity; they are pleasant at home, and are no incumbrance abroad; they accompany us at night, in our travels, and in our rural retreats.


The more we study the more we discover our ignorance.

Banana..... pisang..... BANAN....

banana split anyone???


it was really boring n tiring last Saturday.... studying sumtimes makes me feel sick, n nausea, n headache... so i jz closed my books, put on my veil, n run downstairs to the small shop to get sumthing... i bought 2 biji pisang n sekotak susu berperisa Vanilla....
i wanted to bake cake n since we both love everything berperasa pisang n it's been awhile since the last time i shut down my bakery (huhu, perasan je), Huns suggested me to do Kek Pisang ....


the recipe is very simple but it makes a real soft yummy banana cake.... i never fail wt this recipe....

food for today

i was bz cleaning the fridge in the early morning... it's not that messy, it is just need sum touch and actually i just wanted to get rid sum of the ice that sticking out from the door of the frozen compartment...


since i was too lazy to make the breakfast, i just took out my frozen currypuff n heat up sum oil for frying... made this karipap 3 weeks ago, made about 100 pieces n freeze them so it's easy whenever i feel like eating n craving for it, i just need to fry them....



since my schedule for these past n coming days will exactly be actually the same... which is studying, eating, n studying, n eating... i spent sum time to treat myself wt nasi ayam... n here it is... My favourite Singapore style Classic chicken rice... i just love the taste of Singapore chicken rice bcz it is different from ours... n i guarantee it's real good for a healthy diet...
i don have much time to write down the recipe... but i promise by hook or by crook i'll share it wt u all... ( psst.... Z, i owed u one entree.... n Chique's oso... one entree for u).... i actually do not forget what i promised to write, but i'm not ready wt the things yet... so, tggu2 key...




there are piles... plenty of food for us.. masha afraid that all of these will gonna expire soon, so she gave away half of the kitchen to us... i love that canned drink "POKKA" --- green tea wt lemon n honey... n there are few packets Brahim's perencah yg actually kitorang pon tataw bile nak gune... ( i hate instant things except for maggi... they normally taste terrible...) n there are lot of deep frying 5 spices chicken powder..., few packets perencah nasi goreng ikan bilis, packet of anchovies @ikan bilis.... n 2 bottle of sauce...
n macam biase stitch mesti nak interframe dalam gambar gak.... she was waiting to kick down those air tin... isk3...

Stitch got a friend....

this is the new member of the house, meaning the new member of the family.... let's say this fella is a girl ok, bcz Stitch still a kid n i don't want her to have a boyfriend yet... she's actually pwetty rich that she could afford to buy herself the muffler, the boots, the gloves n the snowcap... look how sweet she is in her outfit yaaa...





ok, let me intoduce her first... she's actually a gift from Masha to Huns for the new year.... since this year is "Tahun Tikus" according to chinese calender, they sell alot of rat toys everywhere here in moscow... back to the story, Stitch actually hates rats n mice.... i got a green rat toy but she kicks that poor greeny everyday... but when stitch give a glance at this new fella, she straight away decided to be friend wt her.... wonder ha????





ok, did u guys see what's happening here??? Stitch forced mommy n daddy to take away everything from the new fren... she said she just wanted to borrow them for a while... n for a token of the new friendship, she let that girl wore her pinky spaghetti n jeans skirt....

n Stitch gave a name to the new fren.... ROTATOUILLE.....

welcome to our family Rotatouille....!!!

p/s: anyone would like to b friend wt Stitch, make sure u guys have a good collections of clothes n then stitch will consider later.... the main point is, u need to be fashionable bcz Stitch feels like she's a model.... whatever it is, Stitch is my baby, she's my dear Baby Love...

have u had ur breakfast Lalink Z???

BROT IST LEBEN!!!! bread is life.... i can live without rice, i can live without any other food, but pls don't take away bread from my life... i just can't live without bread... n it's true.. u can ask anyone from my family, those who close to me... they all know how obsess i am with bread... any kind of bread would do great...

what's ur favourite???



attention to all guys out there..... never ask ur girl whether she likes flowers or not!!! this will only reveal ur weakness... she maybe tells u that she's not into flowers, but the truth is she juz love everything that u give... if u feel like buying it for her, just do it... for a start, simply give her a rose n that's it... but pls don forget, maybe sumtime while u two are having romantic candle light together, or maybe just sharing n scooping a box of Haagen-Dasz, kindly n gently ask ur girl her most favourite flower... she'll be delighted bcz it shows that u care n it is care important the most...

i suddenly recalled there was once, a fren of mine asked me.... which one will be ur first choice while looking for a man... STRAIGHT, ROMANTIC or GENTLEMAN... come on girls, i know each and everyone of us adores ROMANTIC bachelors.... but, is that all we need???

hehe, i knew rite from beginning when she asked me, that this is kinda trap.... and i got my choice clearly in mind... first and foremost, my man should be STRAIGHT.... ok, though Huns maybe looks a bit jambu to many of u fellow out there, but he never ever put any interests in the same sex... he's into girls n woman, n i am very2 sure he is Straight... no doubt ok...


2ndly, i'm hoping that my man could be a GENTLEMAN


and the last thing is he must be ROMANTIC...
ok, why does romantic falls into my 3rd choice???
it is simple,... for me ROMANTIC doesn't guarantee a guy to be GENTLEMAN, but as long as he is a GENTLEMAN, it is proved that he is ROMANTIC....


ok, back to flower thing... i love roses, i love lilies, i love orchids, i love daisies, i love daffodils, i love chrysanthemums.... i love them in any colour, there's no spesifics.. ... i heart carnations n hate lavanders the most by the way...... flowers blossom up my mood, brings me happiness n brighten my day...

even at my desktop table, u can see there's a vase of dried flowers.... i actually got a lot more but there's no way to keep them all bcz otherwise i'm keeping dust in my room... plus, according to russian belief, keeping dried flowers in the house is like u'r welcoming all the bad luck to ur life... anyway, i am seriously couldn't be bothered by such thought n don believe it at all....



look at my lil dear there.... his name is Choco-boy @ Danish @ Dan.... he was my baby bear b4 Stitch came into my life... he smells good, smells of chocolate... n he is a gift from Huns, definitely... hehe,... n if u notice the container wt Tigger up there, it actually place all my toy collections.... pile of them... n 3/4 of them are from Huns too ... unfortunately my small bed couldn't accommodate them all, so they need to sleep in that container... twinkle2 babies... mommy still love u all..

"Why compromise the banana flavor???




Banana is definitely suitable for any kind of recipe n dish.... whether u do it authentically from deep fried banana back in hometown, "Pengat Pisang", "Sira Pisang in kelantan", "lepat pisang", "banana cake", "kerepek pisang", "pisang salai", "Gulai Pisang Muda" n many more...


or maybe in a bit western way from banana pancake, banana bread pudding, banana bread, banana cream tart n pie, banana parfaits, banana souffles, banana split.....


or maybe u can blend some banana with coconut milk @ santan, with blue berries, wt strawberries, even with oreo biscuits n u will get absolutely the best drink ever...



At Chinese Garden Restaurant by the Mezhdunarodnaya Hotel in Moscow Trade Center, they make heavenly Caramelized Banana and Apple for their so-called desserts.... Since the restaurant can be a little pricey, and the recipe for them is not in either of their cookbooks or in the net, I went to work creating my own version.



Over the 3 times been at the restaurant, I have revised the caramelized banana they served... once Huns told me to just talk wt the chef and ask kindly for the recipe, since he's also a malaysian and quite close to us... hehe, but i don't dare la... duhhhh.... i am a shy girl n afraid of pple saying NO..



."Using my own imaginative creativity, all i can say is it's not that hard to found just the right mix. U just need to be a lil patient if u'r preparing it alone, n it would be better if u can get a hand from sumone else... ok guys, let's get wokking!!!




Caramelized Fried Banana

You need :


  • 2 medium bananas, cut into coins or lengthwise strips, depending on your preference n just nice for a bite

Ingredients:



  • 2 pieces of chicken breast.... pls remove all fats and skin if u'r strictly on diet... but for me, i use half of a chicken (the wings n breast part are my favourite)

  • 2 tblspoon of olive oil (i used 20g butter instead)

  • 4 cloves of garlic (less or more depending on individual taste)... finely crushed

  • bread crumbs ( i dry-blended bread myself, instead of buying the expensive ready made bread crumbs)

  • half cup of grated parmesan cheese.... optional, but strongly recommended...

  • pint of salt


Directions:

  • cut the chicken breast into thin slices, or as u like...

  • olive oil + garlic.... put in microwave n heat it for awhile.... just to let the olive oil absorb the garlic taste...

  • marinade the chicken wt the garlicy oil, and add in salt to taste.... let them marinade for at least half an hour

  • mix the bread crumbs n cheese.... coat the chicken wt these mixture...

  • bake at 200 degrees for 20 minutes or until ur chicken turn into golden colour....

  • now, u can eat as much as u want bcz this is 100% oil free if u're using olive oil...

extra virgin olive oil....

OLIVE OIL???? VIRGIN???? EXTRA VIRGIN????

Virgin means the oil was produced by the use of physical means and no chemical treatment. Extra-virgin olive oil comes from the first pressing of the olives, contains no more than 0.8% acidity, and is judged to have a superior taste. There can be no refined oil in extra-virgin olive oil.

The beneficial effects of olive oil are due to both its high content of monounsaturated fatty acids and its high content of antioxidative substances. Studies have shown that people who consumed 25 milliliters (mL) - about 2 tablespoons - of virgin olive oil daily for 1 week showed less oxidation of LDL cholesterol and higher levels of antioxidant compounds, particularly phenols, in the blood.


But while all types of olive oil are sources of monounsaturated fat, EXTRA VIRGIN olive oil, from the first pressing of the olives, contains higher levels of antioxidants -- Vitamin E in particular -- because it is less processed.

Here are just some of the health benefits you can gain from consuming extra virgin olive oil regularly:

  • Unlike other oils, it will not typically upset your critical omega 6:3 ratio and many of the fatty acids in olive oil are actually omega-9 oils that are monounsaturated.
  • No other naturally produced oil has as large an amount of monounsaturated fatty acids (mainly oleic acid) as olive oil.
  • Your LDL (bad) cholesterol levels and HDL (good) levels may be positively affected by a diet which includes olive oil.
  • Oleates in the oil may promote and maintain healthy bones and bone development.
  • Olive oil also contains vitamins E and K, and polyphenols, which provide you with a defense mechanism that may delay aging and may help protect against certain diseases such as carcinogenesis, atherosclerosis, liver disorders, and inflammations.
  • When part of a healthy diet, research has shown that moderate amounts of olive oil may help you to reduce excess body fat, especially around the abdomen.

some lines to myself

life is complicated because we make it out to be that way....
life is too important to be taken seriously....
get out and feel the rain,
get scorched in the sun
and frozen in the wintry mornings....
because life is like a little newborn kid...
- it may drive u nuts sometimes, but will always be loveable..-



i am so relieved tonite as everything went normal back this early evening as we got back to our beloved hostel from Rosinka... have to admit the past few days really brought me down.. i cudn't think bout a single thing but i learned a lot from wut had happened....


really appreciate every single advice n care that u guys put on me...


from now on, i will smile more often, let those bursts of joy permeate the ambience naturally. and who knows what the next tide may bring...


i won't let the anger control me anymore in the future... i promised myself to be the old-old me who really knows the best how to manage the anger.... i'll speak but i wont shout... never ever again... it jz against my interior side n i won't let it happen again.... this is my word, n i'll keep it for me to remember...
