I wish I am immune to sales..because then I won't be broke AGAIN.haha.I just spend the 2nd half of my birthday money today(spent the other half yesterday) on a pair of ballet flats,3 cute t-shirts,some accesories & good food.Went for a looong brisk walk with Hanna & Hani at the lake just now & it's the 2nd time today that I'm sweating profusely.In the morning went to Napisah's school for their Hari Koperasi..hehe.Just got back a few minutes ago..So penatzz!!

Tonight is the farewell dinner since she's moving to a place closer to her school..T_T...Gonna miss u babe!!!

Anyhoo,this is just so FEROSH(I mean their awesome dancing,singing not so much la)!!!LOVE THEM!!!!!!!!Watch the vid clip below plz...







Updated****

I should have guessed it when Hanna left earlier than all of us because she said she had to meet up her sis at Baiduri.Since I was engrossed with Sorority Life(blame Hanna & Napisah!),I didn't put much thought to it.But since we arrived late at the designated place for dinner,Hanna who had waited for us,went to PKNS with her sis so we had to wait for her pulak.Tut-tut...

Suddenly Hanna & her supposedly 'Kak Mai' came..who turned out to be her & Safa,who brought along this

my 2nd birthday cake after the Cheese Choc that my parents bought on Thursday.The cake is also dedicated to Napisah who'll be leaving Shah Alam & staying in Klang..T_T...Xpe Napz,nanti kiteorg dtg buka pose sesame:)

Thanks so much peeps for totally fooling!!I thought that none of them know that Hanna & Safa was buying the cake but turns out that they did...aiyaaa..Tipah tertipu!!!!!uwaaaaaaa

Izlin paling xbley blah,cos' she was so worried about whether are we going to eat at the place or not so I thought that nothing special was going on...ahahaha.Besides,they were on the phone with Hanna several times in front of me like,'Kiteorg on the way..tunggulah jap..hah ni tgh nk gi Maybank jap'...I had no indication because everything was just normal..Like Hanna said.."Tengokla sape Mastermind"..ececeh..-_-..Thanks again & love u guys so very much!!Wish mak(her school is in KL) & Izza(Urbanscapes!) was there too though!:(..What to do,timing is everything!

*Cik Mastermind with Farid bukan Kamil(inside joke)...Mesra gitew!!LOLSSSSSSSS*


P/S:Sorry for the 'ROJAK' language in this post!Am tired & have to wake up early cos' going back to my family's house(i'm at Hanna's hse at d' mo') & then on to flea-marketing with em'!

Crespelle & How I Met Your Mother Finale(season 4)


A few days ago I had a hankering to make this recipe that I saw at Seriously Italian. It’s crespelle ,an Italian version of crepes. Use a non-stick pan because I didn’t need to use any butter at all to heat up the pan & the crespelle came out beautifully. It’s good eaten on its own or drizzle some honey or Nutella..You can get the recipe by clicking HERE.

How I wish I had some fresh strawberry jam that I make for Hanna when we came back from Cameron a few months ago.Making jam using fresh strawberry never taste so gooooodddddddd.I remembered when I brought the fresh jam to Hanna’s house, we ate it with crackers & it was addictive. And all I used was just sugar & fresh strawberries, pureed in the blender & heat in a saucepan until thicken.

The fourth season of How I Met Your Mother has ended .How funny was it when Barney & Robin ‘confessed’ their love for each other??hahaha.So the ‘mother’ is one of Ted’s student??Interesting...

Did you notice that both Robin & Lily were hiding their real-life pregnancy in the show? They used props to hide their belly & wearing flowy tops .Who would have thought that both female cast would get pregnant at the same time?

I’ve kept this pics since early this year but I always forgot to put it in my blog. It’s the cast of How I Met Your Mother as famous people/movies from Indiana Jones, Jonas Brothers, Micheal Phelps ,Sarah Palin & Sex & the city..Look at the Jonas pictures..It’s hilarious!

Getting old...

Sigh..I know I should be happy over the fact that I'm healthy,still alive & kicking,have family & friends who love me(even over the fact of my recent downfall...hahaha..moving on!) but....I'm 22 & I've yet to accomplish many things..Many,many,many things!!!!!!Thus,I've compile a list out of the top of my head,for now(I'll change it with time) of things that I want to improve,to do,to learn,to cook & yadaaa x1000000..lolsss

Oh,I was born on the 25th of June 1987 at HUKL at 6.30 pm(according to my birth cert) & today,I share my birthday with my friend Kimmy(happy birthday dear!!) & Shaema.
Famous people's birthday that falls on this day are Rain(wooot!!!),Carly Simon,George Micheal,George Orwell,Busy Phillips,Karisma Kapoor,Jamie Redknapp&many more..Happy Birthday to all of you!!!:)))))

Things I want to improve

1)My temper--I do have one & it's pretty awful & it's usually unleash towards my brothers..lolss.Thus,I hope that I'll be able to keep it in check better..Though it's useful at times actually...Kidding!

2)Be more polite--Yes,my family knows this because I'm very blase about being polite.hehe.I should be nicer to guests & stop saying things that I shouldn't in front of others...lolsss

3)Fitness regiment-This is important because I DON'T HAVE ONE..hahaha.I think it's bad going on for months without doing any exercise..yikess!It's not too late right??Hanna,marilah kiter gi rock climbing!!!

4)The state of my bedroom--

Declutter my closet-God,this is such a pain because I've too many clothes(i've 2 closet--1 my hse,1 in my grandma's hse-- & 1 big suitcase of clothes) & some of them I haven't even worn yet!I so gotta sort it out & decide which to give away,throw away or sell..hurm...

Declutter my InStyle mag collection-I sort them out every 3 years??haha.It's 2009 & I have Instyle issue from 2005 in my room!!So,the stack of magazine is getting higher & higher..Malasnyer nak kemas!!!!!!!!!!!

5)Impatience-A friend watched the movie Bride Wars a few months ago before I did & was going like,'liyana,you should watch bride wars cos' ur like Kate Hudson's character'..so I watched it & yeah...the impatience as hell part is definitely me..hahaha.Hanna has scold me a few times because I'll be so annoying if I've to wait for someone/something..:)

To achieve

1)Study the Italian language--I just have to since it's what I planned way before I had to take Japanese instead..T_T

2)Save money--because I just don't!I just calculated how much I earned from tutoring + web translation last semester & it's almost rm3k!!Imagine if I actually save it,instead of spending it all everytime I got it,I could have bought a new handphone!!damnzzzzzzz...T_T...

There's many more but I can't remember it now..Cos' I'm old now..(ceh...)

Thanks so much for the unbelievable flood of birthday wishes on my FB account!!!..T_T

My fave weird food combo & trailers!

I’ve been meaning to blog about this in a long time but haven’t gotten myself to complete it.I’m the kind of person who just detest bland food.My food has to be flavourful.I like spicy,sweet,sour or bitter foods.Thus,sometimes I can mix weird combination of foods but to me,it taste good.You might be disgusted by some of my food combination but I just want to share my weird side to you blog readers..:)

1) Scrambled eggs mixed with Maggi tomato ketchup

My mum even packed this for me back in primary school & my friends was grossed out by the look of this dish but once they taste it..they loved it.I love this combo eaten on it’s own or with white/brown bread.

2) Fried sunny side eggs with caramelized onion eaten with white rice mixed with Maggi tomato ketchup & deep fried anchovies

This is a favourite dish of mine when I don’t want to eat elaborate dishes.The caramelized onions & the crunchy bite of the egg with the runny yolk in the middle mixed with the sour/sweet rice with ketchup & the salty of the anchovies is just pure perfection..:)

3) Baked tempe with caramelized onions & mixed with Kimball thai chilli sauce

Since I think deep frying tempe totally depletes the healthiness of it,I mix it with a little bit of turmeric powder & baked it in the oven. Sauté the onions until it caramelize(brown & wilted) & mix with thai chilli sauce.Yum!

4) Diced green apple/guava mix with kuah rojak Mak Bee

This kuah rojak is just so addictive & it has been a family favourite since I was little because it’s from my grandma’s hometown,Alor Setar.I could eat a lot of it but I stop myself since I’m allergic to it & it cause me breakouts(it has belacan which I‘m allergic to) but it has never stop me from eating them.What’s a pimple compared to the spicy/sweet taste of the sauce.It’s great with guava too.

5) Chocolate/vanilla ice cream mix with cornflakes/honey crunch cereal

I love this combo because the cornflakes/honey crunch ‘spice’ up the plain flavours of the ice cream.I don’t think it’ll work on more elaborate ice cream flavours.

6) Chopped petai(bitter pods) in omelette & fried rice.

I love petai so much that I add it in omelette & fried rice.I love the bitter taste of it & plus,it fights ‘kencing manis’ a disease that runs in my family.:(

7) Baked eggplant mixed with cayenne pepper

This taste so good.It’s my version of a potato chip.I slice the eggplant & mixed it with a little bit of oil & lots of cayenne pepper & baked it in the oven until it’s golden brown.Try it & taste it cos’ you won’t be sorry.

8) Baked cili padi (birds eye chilli)&anchovy with caramelized onion

I slice the cili padi thinly & mix them with anchovy & baked in the oven until crispy brown.I caramelized the onion until it’s a little bit charred & mix them all together & keep it in an airtight container in the refrigerator(because if you don’t,the moisture from the onions will make the anchovy,in time,not crispy anymore).I eat this with rice for a spicy/sweet/savory kick.Love this combo!My parents are very against me eating too much cili padi(due to health reasons) so I haven’t made this in awhile but it’s very good that I even eat it on it’s own.heheh.

9) Tuna mayonnaise with lettuce & tomatoes in a hot dog roll

This combo was created by one of my aunts & it’s good.But I haven’t eaten it in awhile though cos’ I don’t like tuna mayonnaise that much anymore.

10) Hard as a rock roti canai eaten with dhal curry/onions & chilli in vinegar

This was actually created by my grandma & I prefer my roti canai this way.You buy a roti canai from the mamak,you put it in the microwave until it becomes brown & hard(be careful to not put it in for too long or it’ll turn black & burn..been there!) & now it has become sort of like a tortilla chip.
Eat it with dhal curry or this consommé that my grandma taught me—Mix vinegar with a little bit of water(to dilute the acidity),sugar & salt.Taste it & add more sugar/salt if you want.Diced onions & red chillies(add according to your taste,more or less) & mixed them all together.Now dip your hard roti canai with it..heaven!!!

11) Mee sedap perisa mee goreng biasa mixed with strips of omelette & thai chillie sauce & served with slices of cucumber

I don’t know how many times I’ve eaten this combo during last semester because it’s quick to prepare & tasty for a degree student like me who has no time to cook.I just prepare the instant noodle the way it’s shown on the packet but I discard the ‘bumbu’ powder cos’ I fear MSG.I then fry an omellete,cut into thin strips,mix with the noodles & some thai chilli sauce & serve with many slices of cucumber.Yumm!!

12) Groundnuts (the one like Kacang Menglembu kind) mixed in tea or eaten with bananas

My cousin & I used to do this when we were little.We would make sweet Boh tea & filled our cups with groundnuts & eat them with a spoon. I don’t know who taught us to do so but I remembered making this with Kak Hani,a cousin of mine.I would also peel a banana & have a bowl of shelled groundnuts or salted peanuts & pushed them on top of the banana,eat a layer & then put some more peanuts on the next layer..you get my drift..:)But I don’t eat bananas anymore though..I guess I out grew them.

I’ve many more weird food combo but I couldn’t remember them now..haha.

Totally not related to food,but Nia Vardalos & John Corbett are teaming up again for the movie I Hate Valentine’s Day.I love love the movie My Big Fat Greek Wedding which both of them starred in & I can even watch it again today so I’m super glad that they’re being paired up again in a romantic movie.I watched the trailer & Nia plays this girl who can play cupid for others but she has a rule when she’s dating men.It’s just 5 dates & that’s it.Nothing further than that.So it’s interesting when she falls for John Corbett character & suddenly her 5 date rule thing,which she has told John’s character before hand,puts her in a pickle.The trailer is below:




Oh,I so have & want to read the book The Time Traveler’s Wife because I watched the trailer & it looks very interesting.The movie stars Eric Bana & Rachel McAdams & it’ll be out in August so I’ve to read the book first cos’ I can’t wait that long.haha.The trailer is below..



My old high school,SMK Sek 9 Shah Alam was hit with the HINI virus!!!woaaah...It's in Shah Alam now???scarrryyy...My cousin who goes to school there aren't going to school now cos' fear of contamination.My mum's old alma mater,Assunta also was hit with the virus & all of the students who were hit just got back from holiday in Melbourne..crikey!!
