I'm taking this opportunity to wish all friends and relatives a Happy and Prosperous New Year. I wish for peace, harmony and prosperity for the country and the nation as a whole. 

I am definitely going to challenge myself making RVC this weekend. I have eaten nor bake one so why not give it a try huh. Plus the fact that I've been itching to bake RVC since I saw and read almost everyone's blog about it. Now, if that does not give me enough perks to start the first step, dunno la..sooooooooooo..let us see whether I might end up baking RVC huh?... I saw a simple recipe here and I even look out for the YT  version from JOB here:

It's the 2nd week of January already, how time flies..and the lazy bug is creeping back again. Been soooo busy this last few days and am not feeling that well either. Anyway, some things that I manage to bake and cook despite being busy. Pasta in tomato sauce a top favourite with everyone too, this is my serving and  I always love sprinkling of black pepper(lots of it) and some spring onion for garnishing... Butter cake...too much dusting of the icing sugar creates something snowy like this, blame me for it!! well..I wanted the cake to look nicer and presentable but alas...this is how it is I present this to the world...cehhh!!!!   ..but the cake is simply delish and was wallup in no time by everyone.

Today I decided to bury myself in this crib of mine cos I simply hate what's happening to the outside world today. Been busy and there were times that I wanted to pour everything that was boiling up in my head and when I wanted to blog about it, it just slipped away. ***sigh***  I guess I should keep a notebook and a pen nearby just to jot down those few little ideas that just appeared out of nowhere.   I was very busy here and there and managed to do some of these along the way. Scones again... And again.... Another first attempt at Tiramisu, I've never tasted any tiramisu but I told myself to give it a try after surfing the net for the recipes. Finally after going through the various version of tiramisu, I finally had the courage to prepare this.  Am surprised that it took less than 20 mins to prepare the whole thing.  I guess  Tiramisu looks like this huh? (just ignore the sloppy layering ...

Picture credit to tonton.com.my & Tentang Dhia Fanpage   Abis suda!!!...What a tragic ending to Tentang Dhia. So from the trending of Tentang Dhia, the whole of Malaysia(err, Singapore and Brunei too I guess) were glued to their tv watching the finale episod a while ago. ***sniff***sniff***sniff***sob***sob***sob**** the sad effect is still lingering on me now. I had in a way expected that the ending to be so but what I was really interested was to see what would happen to the evil mother-in-law or appropriately I should label her as monster-in-law from hell. I hate Ku Salmi so much. I was very frustrated that her character was left untouched and I am fuming with anger that Ku Salmi's character was not expanded further. I would love to see what her reaction was when Zikir found out about all her evil doings, and when both Zikir and Dhia died. I would have imagined that the director should have gotten Ku Salmi to get some kind of punishments afterall the bomoh thin...

Finally, I get to watch Ombak Rindu (OR) with friends last night. So here goes my review on the movie. 1) The scenery is simply fantastic and I just can’t help admiring the beautiful sceneries. It was indeed a sight to behold. So a beach-lover like me definitely enjoys and love all the beautiful sceneries. 2) Loved Hariz’s kampong house…byk modern facilities tapi nang kacaklah rumah ya.. 3) Dari mula sampei abis filem ya, the kitten doesn’t seem to grow up....go figure that out!!!…. 4) As expected some of my favourite scene in the novel was scrapped off especially bab Hariz n Izzah, there are quite a few intimate scenes (those who’ve read the novel knows, yang belum baca, sila beli dan baca k);I guess writer/director chose not to put those in the movies for sensitivity reasons and I think AA would want to think twice before acting certain scenes especially some intimate scenes with MK. 5) The OST was simply superb and the duet song by Hafiz AF7 and Adira AF8 complemented ...

Nothing much but am glad it's Friday. Celebrating my birthday with colleagues in the office, I made this kacang pool using baked bean. Can't find any canned broad beans here so based on the recipe from Along I am missing some old2 friends at the moment. Funny thing, both of them are in facebook but none seem to respond to my inbox messages,..I have this funny feeling that both are giving me the cold shoulders. Entahla...I've known them since school days and back in university but I just can't figured out why. Am  very sad as both were very closed to me then and we shared a lot of things be it our sorrows or happiness.   Probably they have some problems but honestly it would be nice if both would reply to one of my many2, messages....**** sigh**** Am I asking too much?  Kadang2 ada rasa nak nanyak but I have not found any courage to do that yet. KIV jak lah niat ya dolok.... Mengong mode on:...
