Thank god for the weekend!

The weekend is here & I'm back at home sweet home,my parents house.Though I've many other assignments to complete and a lucrative project on the side to complete..Boring!!!Got good news from my mum which I hope goes well.Lately I've been thinking a lot about a couple of things & it raised a couple of questions on why I've been feeling the way I feel.sigh.It's too complicated to be said here though..:(.Oh,do read Evita Nuh's blog--The Creme De La Crop --I think she's just adorable & so fashionable for a 10 year old girl..

Time and time again I've always wished I had a little sister that I can play dress up with or make her my own real life Barbie(not blond & blue eyes,more like I want to dress her up in pretty clothes!) & share all of my dresses with her...Sometimes it's boring growing up with 3 brothers and being the only girl.That's why I just love little girls..:)..Nevermind,I'll have my own little girl in a few more years..lolsss

Have you guys watched the Alice in Wonderland trailer??It looked so cool!The movie will be out in March 2010.I can't wait for movies of books that I have to come out like Julie & Julia,Eat,Pray & love and the Lovely Bones(all of the books are with Moja because I lend it to Ethos..so any of you that wants to borrow em' better check with Ethos!).The Star newspaper gave Khabir Bhatia's Setem movie 5 out 5 star rating today..Can't wait to watch that movie!

My being at MTV World Stage is a bust!!sigh...Nevermind..There'll be better things to come..Hopefully!But if anyone needs a date to go there,I'm so available..lolsss...

I'm gonna catch some much needed sleep on my super comfy bed...To my friends,always carry your Dettol Sanitizer with you!!H1NI is not a joking matter!

Tea with the girls




For tea with the girls last Sunday,I baked a scrumptious lasagna(with 8 layers..yes 8..It was a very very rich lasagna!) & a chocolate meringue pie.The lasagna of course was a success & they couldn’t stop eating it(I baked my first lasagna when I was 15 years old so I’ve perfected it many times)...hehehe.I’m uber glad that Napisah enjoyed it because like she said,the one at PizzaHut was bad.The chocolate meringue pie was a first attempt by me & it definitely need to be served cold & not straight out of the oven because the crust sort of leaked(cos’ I think I put too much butter in the crust).

The pie was very chocolaty & decadent and had 3 layers.The crust was a mixture of crushed milk chocolate digestive cookies + melted butter. The 2nd layer was thick chocolate custard made using Cadbury Bourneville(sorry if I'm spelling it wrong!) Dark Chocolate. Lastly, a layer of meringue. The recipe is in the Baking & Chocolate book at my parent’s house thus,I can’t put it here now.The lasagna recipe is embedded in my head but since this is not a cooking blog,I’ll put up the recipe if people requested for it.:)

I also served a huge platter of durian that I bought in the morning with a pot of delicious strawberry tea.
p/s:I want the new Martha Stewart cookies cookbook!!!!!

Update 2:Super Innara


After the tahlil,my family & I went to my parent’s old high school friends house in USJ(my parents have been together since high school) to meet them since it’s been more than 5 years since they last saw them.Uncle Zam & Auntie Lina( I don’t remember her name..huhu,hope this is right) has a beautiful lil girl name Super Innara.Yes,that’s what she claim her name is when I ask her what is her name.

Me:What’s your name?



Innara: (with a serious face) Super Innara.



Me: (aq salah dgr ker??) What’s your name again?


Innara: (dgn nada ko xpercaya ke name aq?) Super Innara!

Her mum explained to me that she tells everyone that her name is Super Innara,even her teacher at kindergarten,because she said that she’s fast like Superman.Her real name is Innara but it doesn’t has Super in front though.

She can play golf,like really play & she has her own set of golf clubs & everything because Uncle Zam is an avid golfer(my dad used to golf but not anymore).She actually memorized all of the different kind of golf clubs & didn’t stop playing golf again & again (she got 3 hole in one!) when we were there,because she has this mini golf lane thing(sorry,I don’t speak golf!).
She was very friendly towards me & I was really taken by her because I don’t have a sister & always want a mini me!!Her mum even said that after this I can come & babysit her if I want.yeay!!Innara only speaks in English okay..haha.

Uncle Zam’s mum is my dad’s ‘mak angkat’ when my dad was in high school & my dad spend a lot of time at their house that even Uncle Zam’s siblings are close to my dad & my mum. After we went to Uncle Zam’s house,we went to his mum’s house which was nearby too.

There,although at Uncle Zam’s house my dad has told them that I can never get marry early,he proceeded to tell the story to Uncle Zam’s 2 siblings.One of them, Auntie Zila(whom we met yesterday at Sunway) was like, “Kenape pulak!Tak baik la kau ni.Liyana,nanti jumpe auntie,kite borak2”(something along that line la),to which my dad laughs because obviously they’ve known my dad since he was a teenage boy & back then was when he started dating my mum.hehe.

On Sunday morning went to the flea market at the Shah Alam stadium with the family,PKNS to buy durians for the girls who are coming for tea & then Shah Alam Mall(or Plaza Masalam as my friends call it) cos’ my family goes there every week since my brothers have been buying their games cd there for years.Thrifted 2 awesome jackets at the flea market for-----only rm15 for BOTH!!!How effing cheap is that??
Went home,prepared the food for the tea with the girls & packed some of my homemade lasagna for my brother,Haziq who went back to Segamat & send him to Petronas to meet his friend who’s driving them back there.

Update 1


I haven’t blog in awhile because busy with reality..hahaha.My AE(Academic Exercise/Thesis) is bumming me out because I’m stuck, as in I don’t know what to write anymore & finding credible research & journal for my topic has been uber hard eventhough I spent 2 days at the journal section of the library..sigh.

On a fun note,I did a lot of great things during the H1N1 break..Talking about H1N1,I’m getting pretty paranoid because of the fact that I read in the paper recently of the 6th death involving a young boy whom his parents said had no symptom whatsoever & only had a 1 day old fever & suddenly he died.Super scary man!Now I’m getting extra cautious & bring my sanitizer everywhere & will buy a mask pronto.


Went shopping at Sunway with my brothers & mum last Friday.Got a bottle of Vera Wang Princess thanks to my mum(though she took the satiny body lotion that came with it,which is okay since I’m using a different lotion).Mama bought a Dior perfume..can’t remember the name but it’s in a pastel pink bottle.Met an old friend of my parents,Auntie Zila there with her niece Nadirah.Got my fave cheese croquette & cheese+mushroom sausage at Jusco..got I love the combo of those 2 food.yummah!

Friday was also my parents 23rd wedding anniversary.My dad bought a cake straight after work & ask my mum not to buy it herself.huhuh.23 years of marriage & they were together since they were 18 I think...& they got me a year after they got married(I’m 22!).Hopefully,if all goes well,we’ll make a big one for their 25th wedding anniversary!!

On Saturday was my grandma’s tahlil & Izza & Wan showed up although it was a bit late,there was still yummy food for them.hehe.The other girls was back with their respective families but they came to my house on Sunday.Below are pictures of the preparation during the tahlil.And yes,the house has been red carpeted ever since I was a baby..hahaha.So we always walk on the red carpet everyday!lolsss

A lot of our relatives came & the food was catered & was delicious.Although the caterer serve dessert too,lots of the guests brought kuih like Kak Hani’s friend brought Koci Durian(sedap giler!),some of my mum’s cousin brought karipap,banana cake,more koci.

My cousin Firdaus became an exhibition after the tahlil because my aunts & my mum kept telling people about his accident.Even Izza & Wan came upstairs to see him.

He got hit by a lorry while driving his friend motorcycle,on the way to class at UiTM Segamat.Actually,according to Umi(my aunt & my siblings call her Umi since we were little cos’ our families are very close with each other)he looked much worse before this but still I was shocked when I saw him that morning.He had many,many scary looking stitches, wound & scars & his left foot was cemented.Glad that he’s doing okay though.He’s going to have to eat lots of Ikan Haruan & gamat to heal his wounds & scars.
