I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river and it made me complete
Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
I came across a fallen tree I felt the branches of it looking at me Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?
Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin
And if you have a minute, why don't we go Talk about it somewhere only we know? This could be the end of everything So why don't we go somewhere only we know? Somewhere only we know

ANd here's GLEE's version
This song is on my GLEEK (The playlist name that includes all the glee songs from all seasons plus the Mashups on my iPhone)
I have posted the song last time but today nak post lagi ;) hahaha Kobe put the lyrics on facebook tadi so i tumpang karaoke kejap kat wall dia heheehehe
i was wondering of what to cook today, then teringat ayam percik Kelantan.
So, i marinated the ayam after balik from uni, in which, i went at 10, and i balik 11.30 boleh?
Tiba tiba rasa nak kemas Store, lagi pun Sharon and BF balik hari ni, and she nak guna the store for her stuff pulak before balik singapore for summer holiday.
So, petang lepas asar, i started to cook the ayam and the kuah..
Entah Apa akal, baca resepi, 1/2 cawan, tapi Otak interpret 1 1/2 cawan tepung beras.
My kuah ayam percik ended up mcm pudding !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ouhh AKU KECEWA....
walaupun eatable, tapi rasanya tak kick ! sebab dah terlalu pekat, terpaksa tambah air, modify segala...
While the kuah is simmering, boleh pulak terpercik and hit right under my left eye... Perghh kuah mendidih panas tuuuu... sakit la jugak walaupun laser lagi sakit..
Ouhh Kecewa sungguh...
Dah la masak tak jadi, kuah terpercik ke muka pulak, dan hasilnya tak menjadi
I used to have a huge Panda ( as big as a 3 year old kid) and i put my baby knitted sweater on to the Panda hehehe
But i no longer have it because Mom threw it away because it's kinda very old and not good for my sinus hehehe but the anak anak panda yang lain ada lagi..and i told mom not to give it to my 5 year old niece hehehe not even my Barbie Dolls hehehehehe Teruknya Aunty ni kan.... ( itu collection maaa !! )
I did it again tonite.....
As much as i dun want to do it,
I dun have any nutella in Stock but bought it last few weeks.
Just a small bottle and keep it in the kitchen Cabinet just in case i need it.
Well, i indeed need it hehehehe...
the sudden crave for chocolates drives me crazy as i dun have any Chocs in stock ( yeah no nothing !!!)
And the sudden crave makes me ate 2 table spoonful of Nutella !!!!!!!!!!!! at midnight !!!
NOT GOOD ! NOT GOOD !!!
i feel good afterwards..
But now i can't sleep hehehehe
I'm gonna watch Edward tonight with Ismah and Alia.
I haven't watch any of the twillight movies, neither reading all the novels. Ismah and Nadia was the one whos crazy over this series hehehe. It's a gamble tonight whether i am gonna understand the story or not.
Oh ya, I went to Brisbane and Gold Coast last weekend with kak hanim and Alia. Just to take a break, alhamdulillah, it was really fun, will blog about it later. Thanks to Ama, amani, nani and Mus, and also the Gold Coast bunch Nik, Izani and Mariam.
Alhamdulillah, after the Brisbane trip, today, my writing mode came and visit me again. Alhamdulillah, hopefully it will stay.. I need to finish this.
The room is in a mess with Kotak, baju to pack, my thesis stuff.. so many things to do, so little time... *sigh*
My students sat for their OB exam on tuesday. I think i've done my best so far with them.
On the final week of tuts,i gave them some notes containing the hints on what's coming out in the exam.bukan bagi soalan bocor but i gave them a chapter but with hints la. They are very much happy with the notes i gave plus they got to bring in a cheat sheet mcm 'toyol' tu.sekeping A4 paper je.
So,i emailed them gud luck and some article that will give them some ideas on writting the day before.and just now after the exam, i smsed a few of them, one girl from Kiribati island called me immediatly and sounded thrilled and excited with her paper!!! Hehehehe dia kata apa i cerita haritu smua kluar.so dia sangat excited dan harap dia dpt good grades ( i tak mark paper coz busy dgn thesis)
The second one pulak replied the sms
Hopefully depa akan dpt good grades la for the subject.insyallah .they r good students :)

Hey Mom Why didn't you warn me Coz about boys is something i should have known They`re like chocolate cake Like cigarettes I know they're bad for me But I just can't leave 'em alone
So I walked under a bus I got hit by a train Keep falling in love Which is kinda the same I've sunk out at sea Crashed my car, gone insane And it felt so good I want to do it again

bila dgr lagu ni, teringat pulak, dah lama tak bercinta head over heels hehehehe... the last time was in 2005, mamat tu pun dah kahwin dah pun dgn pilihan ibunya sebab ibunya kurang setuju dia kawan dgn saya, takut tak terkejar kata ibunya.. lagi pun, things got out of hand lepas i cant help him with his business.i cant help him financially actually, What do you expect, i am a student still and tgh nak sambung Masters and bila bgtau nak sambung belajr lagi, trus tak jadi...tak pe lah, anyway belum jodoh lagi kot kan..
eh... tapi sekarang pun bercinta head over heels jugak apa...
DENGAN Encik THESIS !!!!
I was told, jodoh tak datang bergolek depan pintu rumah, semuanya kena ada usaha, Dalam Islam pun mcm tu juga.. kena ada usaha and all.... i totally understand that idea coz i understand that LUCK IS PREPARATION MEETS OPPORTUNITY. Preparation tu usaha la.. opportunity tu kesempatan yang ada.. Jadi at the rate things are going now, i didn't put much preparation and the opportunity is not there yet, so, memang tak patut i komplain yang i masih single, or belum kahwin dan i rasa i pun tak komplain pun hehehehe..
Pengumuman : Cik SKUNA! Sebelum Encik Thesis naik Cemburu awak ckp soal cinta/kawin, sila lah sambung mengadap Encik Thesis ya !!!!
I am now a fanatic of this video and the dance step kuikuikui.... Tak pelah, tak de the dress and the heels, janji tiru dance step hokkay !!!

Che kay dah hafal ke dance step nih?
Owh, by the way, i splurge on these items tadi
Maybelline super stay 24 hrs lip colour thingy, a basic nude lipstrick, a clear gloss, and a super 'menggoda" eyeliner and Maybelline lip liner. yang tiga tengah tu is Aud 6.99 each and it is called Designer Brand (DB). ( Yang maybelline super stay tu, rasanya ada dalam 4 bulan i consider to buy actually, tiapkali masuk kedai, dah pegang nak bawak ke counter and pay, but i ended up putting it back on the shelve. tapi hari ni terus masuk amik and bayar entah kenapa, and together with the rest.
Tak sabar nak try the eyeliner yang the brush tip is super fine.. dunno how i am gonna bersilat with it hehehe
When i reached uni, i bought Goulburn Valley Orange Juice utk buka puasa nanti. Then when i reached office, my officemate dah sampai and we bersembang kejap.
I dunno how, i buka the small bottle and drink as we sembang...
I actually hate ironing,folding clothes n all hehehehe both me and my sis hates ironing since forever!!!
But for me, as mich as i hate ironing, i still hav to do it.when i was 14 and was living with my aunt in penang, i hav to iron my own school uniforms ( sometimes when my aunt is having good mood, she'd do it for me and my cousins) So ironing kinda grew into me eventhough i hate it. When i was 16 i went back to live with my parents again. Hehee no more ironing ;) all ironing bibik a.k.a Kakak yang buat. Nak pakai baju buka almari dah siap semuanya. Basically, i hate it but if i have to do it, the i will.hehehe teruknya la kan..
I remember one time, one of the bibik ( the first indon bibik mak took,because previously all the kakaks are from siam) left sebab dia sakit teruk, she got TB so mak sent her home to indon.so we got no bibik.Dad needs his pants to go to work.so he tought me how to iron a pants/slack. Hehehe ayah yang ajar pulak.
Then when we got new bibik, Ika, she my age.mom n dad was busy going around outstation that i hav to orientate ika around the house.bagusla tu kan, being a HR student at that time, orientate maid kat rumah as a basic pengalaman hehehehe. Taught her how to wash dishes and how every night the dish rack must be emptied as all the plates will be wiped and kept in the almari, sapu and mop rumah, which broom for what, how to basuh baju ( which to rendam or which can go straight to the machine, what to do with puteh every morning and evening, and also how to iron the slack as ika said she donno how to iron slackika actually comes from quite okay family from where she comes from.her father is a caterer and she herself habis sekolah takat spm negara dia.the reason why dia dtg msia sebab nak duit lebih buat nak sambung belajar n simpanan masa depan.dia betul betul interested bila tgk i study.Ika left in end of 2007 to get married and sambung belajar.Lepas tu we got the current kakak ;)
I did 10 blouses today sebab cuaca dah increasing and sangat panas.so 10 blouses tu is ready dlm almari so that anytime nak pakai, capai je heehehehe
I guess the hate ironing thing runs in me and my sis.like my sis, dapat hubby yang sebelum kluar kena iron all baju dulu.hehehehe dah la my sis tak suka ironing tapi tak pa, every single baju hubby and anak anak yg dia iron tu dapat pahala besar. :)
Sebenarnya i am suppose to sleep but i couldnt tu yang pakai bercerita pasal ironing tuh hehehehe
Dah 12.52 am now and subuh is at 4.20 am matahari naik 6.10 pagi :) jadi kalau nak bangun sahur esok,SILa TIDUR SEKARANG !!!!!
This version is so Nice !!! cobination of TLC's unpretty and West Side Story's Pretty
UnPretty by TLC
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
I wish I could tie you up in my shoes Make you feel unpretty too I was told I was beautiful But what does that mean to you Look into the mirror who’s inside there The one with the long hair Same old me again today (yeah)
My outsides look cool My insides are blue Everytime I think I’m through It’s because of you I’ve tried different ways But it’s all the same At the end of the day I have myself to blame I’m just trippin’
You can buy your hair if it won’t grow You can fix your nose if he says so You can buy all the make-up that mac can make But if you can’t look inside you Find out who am i, too Be in a position to make me feel so damn unpretty
Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Never insecure until I met you Now I’m in stupid I used to be so cute to me Just a little bit skinny Why do I look to all these things To keep you happy Maybe get rid of you And then I’ll get back to me (hey)
My outsides look cool My insides are blue Everytime I think I’m through It’s because of you I’ve tried different ways But it’s all the same At the end of the day I have myself to blame I can’t believe I’m trippin’
As I reflect back on what I’ve used and abused And detect that I need some clues to get through To those that accused me of never being true I’ll lose if I play into this game and never know the rules So how do I bring out the me nobody sees The forest for the trees, how ’bout the woman behind the weave The light from within this life is the only real remedy Or find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (oh) Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty Oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh (oh) Find the reflection you see to be so damn unpretty
Earlier today, i went blog hopping and i read about this girl who is pretty, and she had some alergy reaction near her eyes. I felt choked when i read the word "hideous' she wrote. The allergy is reddish with some rashes near her eyes. My birthmark is much more worst than that. I suddenly felt sad for myself. There she was, having a small alergy problem and calls it hideous.. so, what i am having is super hideous lah kiranya becasue i dun only have a red birthmark, it is also swollen (disfigured, the face is not simetrically balance, the skin arround the eyes are extra reddish maroonish in colour). After a big sigh, i finish up reading and hit the X button. I dun wanna upset my feeling.
It is normal for me to feel this way. No words could mend this kind of feeling. It is normal because i have this kind of birthmark. usually people with this birthmark feels the same with low self confidence and all. sometimes i feel tired being stared at. being here in Australia, i am kinda happy because people dun stare at me that much and the people here tend to have sweet tough too hehehehe.. they;ll say they did notie the birthmark on the face and stuff to make you feel better hehehe... but kat Malaysia, not only kids stare at me but also Makcik makcik.. Aihhhh.... TAK SUKEEEE !!!!!!!! the birthmark group i joined pun baru ni ada circulate email about research on bagaimana birthmark ni memberikan impact pada confidence level utk orang orang mcm i dan kebanyakkan majikan tak nak amik orang with birthmark sebab you know why lah kan... Kecantikkan Luaran tu penting
Yeah, we have make up, concealers and all. I am tired of it already. Every single day, i put layers of moisturizers, okay, now i am telling okay, after i cleans, i dap the toner ( i use Lancome, yeah i have to pay extra and ikat perut because these two are the ones that doesnt dry out my skin), then, one layer of Lancome's Genefique ( again, ikat perut lagi..) but i kinda substitute it with LOREAL's Youth COde serum coz it has the same texture and stuff, the effect is kinda same too. then a layer of moisturiser, I use LOREAL YOUTH CODE day cream with SPF 15, then LOREAL SPF cream with SPF 30,( earlier i used Lancome's tinted SPF 50, but i couldnt afford to ikat my perut any longer hehehehe), then came the make ups... Lets recap dah berapa layer dah, 1, 2, 3 ( sampai SPF).
See, i told you they look the same hehehehe.. habis tu dah serum, mesti la kna duduk dalam botol mcm tu kan hehehehe
Now the make up. I use to have difficulties using and trying out foundations, from loreal to in2it, Maybelline ke segala mak nenek lah, SimplySIti pun iya gak, even the SheerCover on TV tu pun but it all doesnt work on me, until Abby my hair stylist used this stick foundation on me. its Kryolan TV stick and HEY PRESTO !!! it works! 100% coverage and its gentle on skin. I have just finished my first stick and now using the second. the first stick lasted me for about a year despite of my heavy everyday usage. worth the money lah.. put the foundation on skin, spread it around the eyes, noce and the birthmark area, then i sprayed my face with air kosong, and ratakan the foundation again.when it is dry, i put on the power by ZA. I really hope they don stop producing the Za powder !! tolong lah coz Maybelline discontinue the powder in green kotak... Huarghhhh jenuh nak cari substitute, i tried aussie's Maybelline but it is dead expensive, Aud 33.80 for a mineral powder, ce convert duit Malaysia tgk..( darap 3 ye..) So, see, i have to use how many layers to get my face and skintone to look normal !!! hehehehe... Tak baik nak komplain, Dah rezeki ALLAH letak mcm tu kan,
Kryolan TV stick
Za Powder
So, After all those stuff, i put on my lipstick and eyeliner je. On special occasion, i put on eyeshadow. if not, i dun. 90% of my time here in Aussie, i dun use eyeshadow at all. eyeliner pun jarang, for lipstick, i only use the tone which is similar to my powder because i don't want other coour on my face. My mom will always nag me to buy a slightly orangy or pinkish lipstick which will always end up with a fight because i dun want to and will keep on buying the light brown lipstick, Currently only SimplySIti i repeat ONLY SimplySiti has the colour that i wanted. Kalau siti pun discontinue her raange, habis lah...
Yeah, sometimes i feel tired with this regime and wanted my skin to breathe, Yeah, i've tried going out with my bare skin and people thought either i was beaten up by my husband ( which i dun have hehehehe) domestic violance victim, i fall down, or i am having skin allergies.. HAHAHAHAHA burst out laughing !! Kelakar ! So, i have no choice but just follow the regime lah walaupun letih.. Sebab u saya kadang kadang kagum dgn transgender yang sangat cantik mcm perempuan dgn make ups diorang and everyday pun make up mcm tu walaupun, dalam diri dan hati mereka hanya ALLAH yang tahu segalanya, apa yang mereka rasa and stuff. janji jgn tinggal solat dan solat jumaat sudah la... insyallah amin...
So, Bersyukurlah dgn apa yang ada, Apa yang ALLAH beri, setiap masalah tu ada penyelesaiannya. it is either it is easy or hard to reach. yeah, orang sedapkan hati i by saying, alah, make up kan ada, and buat laser lagi.. Yeah, itu alternative yang ada buat masa ni, untuk benda ni hilang 100% itu adalah sesuatu yang MUSTAHIL. Hanya ALLAH yang tahu, dari ALLAH ia datang, dan Pada ALLAH dia kembali, Kun Faya Kun...
Dan saat saat mcm ni, teringat kata kata hikmat seorang kawan rapat pada suatu malam where i was 100% upset, felt useless and i cried over the phone. eiiii MALUU je.....
He said,
"Don't ever think that you are not beautiful, You are beautiful in your own way.......beauty lies on the hand of beholder...So please, Don't ever say of feel you are not beautiful..."
I guess, he did a fair share of bringing me back the confidence.. Thank You and i still keep the words at times like this to keep moving.. ;)
During Raya Haji, the Student body buat korban, ada la dalam 15 lambs. so the bujang flinders pun masing masing dapat lah lamb yang di dermakan tu.
I turned mine into Kurma and Alia turned hers into rendang last two weeks. So Kak Hanim got hers slightly later. She planned to turn hers into Soup and call us all for dinner. Unfortunately, busy comes into our way ( boleh buat ayat mcm ni?) so Kak hanim cancelled the plan. She wanted to do the soup and send it over je nanti, She didnt have the time to google for soup recipe so she asked me.
I gave her the bestest soup ever, by Nani Rostam. Nani who? Puan Nani ni ialah Mak Hanis Zalikha. The recipe is kinda bnnyk benda nak buat but sedap. I've tried so i gave Kak Hanim the link. and to make things better, i even copied that blog post and emailed it to her.
Badabing Badabung, saturday night, she came over with the soup and say
"It doesn't really look like soup although i followed the recipe."
I was like " Seriously???" suspecting something because she had her share of mishap while cooking Sheperd's pie in which my phone doesn't stop ringing every ten minutes or so receiving sms from her. Hahaha.. sampai tak jadi writting petang tu.. it was ramadhan hehe.
So I asked her how she did it. Because i think i remembered the recipe well.
So she explained
"i potong bawang smua, pastu i goreng, pastu the recipe says goreng bawang merah smua tu dalam minyak yang banyak pastu angkat dan tos atas tisu, i did that la. smua asing asing, pastu bila tepung tu, i mcm mcm na nak goreng tepung ni? Tapi i goreng jugak la the tepung..pastu letak atas tisu, dah nak sama macam tisu dah..."
i listen carefully and,
" wait wait... you goreng smua asing asing?"
"ya.. asing asing, recipe tu kata asing asing...and i follow all the steps laa"
sambil menggaru kepala yang tak gatal sambil menahan nak gelak !!! Adui, unfortunately, me and Alia burst out to laugh when i told kak hanim the recipe.
" I thought you were supposed to cut the onions, put in the tepung so it got coated well and THEN you goreng them ..."
Kak Hanim was speechless and the look on her face was priceless !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aduiii jahat nya i gelakkan orang !!!
BY the way, here's the part of the recipe yang dia confuse tu
2) Mesti guna bawang merah dan bawang putih goreng buatan sendiri.(Hiris bawang merah dan bawang putih nipis-nipis berasingan dan goreng juga berasingan). Tabur tepung gandum, garam dan perasa ke atas bawang hiris lalu goreng ke dalam minyak yang agak banyak. goreng dengan api kecil sehingga garing kekuningan. angkat dan tos di atas kertas tisu dapur. Setelah agak sejuk dan rangup simpan di dalam bekas kedap udara berasingan bawang putih goreng dan bawang merah goreng.
I guess she baca the first ayat and get things going !!! Aduihai Dr. hanim , ku sayang !!!!! Nak pecah perut kami gelak !!!
Ok now here's the link to the recipe.. sedap wa cakap luuu. dan Soup kak hanim tu, walaupun "di goreng secara berasingan" tetap sedap !!! Power seyh
