The 28th of May

Hmm time pass by slowly when you have nothing much to do. I finished Unearthly yesterday, can't wait for the sequel to come out! Unfortunately it's not gonna come out till next year :/ Oh well gonna get more books to read as soon as the allowance's out xp At the moment, I'm starting to read Immortal by Gillian Shields. The synopsis looks promising so looking forward to that :) Love the cover! ^^


 Dunno what's happening yesterday, but there was this constant drumming going on outside but it was faint so I didn't really bother. Then after a while, suddenly the drumming got louder and look what I found outside marching towards the Event Square, I think, lol it was cool ^^ A lady in red with a wheelbarrow was directing the march, at least I think she was a lady cos I wasn't wearing my glasses at the time, but she's got quite a big build so I can't be sure. Too bad she was covered by the railings in the picture. And yep the wheelbarrow was a bit weird lol.

Hot choco - haven't had hot drinks for quite some time now. Not really a fan with HOTness in a drink, much prefer COOLness, but its alright once in a while ;)

Finished watching 2 animes today Lovely Complex and Mamoru-kun Ni Megami No Shukufuku Wo! The latter I started a long time ago but finally got the chance to finish it, more like I just remembered to watch it again :P The ending was a bit boring but a good one nonetheless ~ On the other hand, Lovely Complex is a good stress reliever, if you don't mind the drawing of the characters. Not that it's ugly or anything like that but there are a few moments when they are, I'm quite picky with animes but thankfully they'll grow on you ^^ so I would recommend watching it. Made my view of a man change a bit for a while though, messed up my vision of the guy in Unearthly :p

Mamoru-kun ni Megami no shukufuku wo!
 Lovely Complex

The next post will be about Easter I promise :)

And last but not least, HAPPY 20th BIRTHDAY DEAR NURUL NABILAH!! :DD Hope you had fun today ^^ Sorry I'm not there to celebrate with you girls but let's go party! when I get back xD

Food Stuff.. No wonder I'm getting chubby!

Just felt like making a separate post for this one ^^ more or less experimental ones lol but heck I ate a lot more than what I used to eat when I first got here. Must say I got influenced by the time spent in Birmingham and Cardiff~ thanks to none other than the Langleys and Belz, Imah and Cimcim, and next time Tikah ( ps: baiktah masak for me nanti xp) ;D Haven't got the chance to try the big ones on my own yet like soto for instance :p but I might try when I get back to Brunei. After all a chef is in the house i.e Mama ;) These are some of what I made recently:

 Nasi goreng Kampong
 Me lunch for the day ^^ Not bad actually hehe
 Now this one bolognese pasta is pure experiment but it turned out well still ^^
 Dessert? choco and peanut butter sandwich
 Now this is the WORST addiction I have ever had! lol mentioned this before about the Fab ice cream, see how many boxes I have eaten in less than a month?! but they're just too good~ This was last month's consumption though.. Will get more with this month's grocery of course :p
I forgot when was this but Santi made this for us : Chicken masala I think.. but man it was really really good! she used the ready-made sauce but still DAEBAK!

Hmm now that I have all the time in the world again (at least for a while) I'll do some Easter Story update ^^ next time though.. Now time to continue pampering myself with anime xp 

I'm FREEEE! muahaha

Yesterday was my last paper of the year! This marks the end of my first year of Uni. Time sure flies! So fast that it's scary! but no complaints of course cos I get to go back HOME soon! yay! can't wait, missing home already :') Countdown : 33 more days~

And my way of celebrating my newly found freedom would be to do everything that I wanna do without any guilt and do it whenever possible, woohoo! Just yesterday . . .

 Watched 'Lovely Complex' and still watching it today
 Watched 'Brave Couple' ep 6
 FINALLY got the chance to read a book after such a long time! Missed those times when I had all the time in the world *sigh*
 Got carried away reading for 4 hours straight lol, quite an interesting one ;)
HEHEHE just wanna show this shirt that I made, recognize the cartoon? Not sure who to credit the cartoon, just got it from the internet so... I'm quite surprised with the quality though, it's better than what I expected ^^

2 more papers till freedom!

Yay! got through the first paper today which is BIO1320 - Animal and Plant physiology. Alhamdulillah I practiced the past year exam questions cause there are quite a few of them in the paper ^^. Not gonna do anything major today as I barely slept last night so the next round of revision will start TOMORROW.

Let's see I was gonna update something a few days ago but the blogger site was under maintenance or something like that so I didn't get the chance to.

Last week I tried to cook Chicken with tomato puree ( powdered ). That was my first time trying to cook something like that. So the first thing to do would be follow the instructions. So...

 Fry the chicken.

 Mix the powder mix with water.
 Then mix everything in. The funny thing is it didn't work! Looks more like FRIED chicken now doesn't it?

 Yep definitely fried chicken, but it was tasty anyway so all's fine.

Then I think this happened the same day or the next day. *Memory overload so can't remember anything else lol* Revision night.

 Monster drink. Just an experiment to see if it works, so I drank it that night for revision.
 So far so good~
 At the dining table upstairs.
 You can tell that I have a bit of an issue with concentrating lol.
 Apples with sambal belacan.
The morning's here!

There, the drink works alright. I was sleepy of course but I just can't seem to fall asleep. Got things done and got the apples as a reward. ^^

Took these two days after I think. The Fab Ice cream. Was introduced by Ka Cken when I was in Cardiff. Can't get enough of it now lol.

Fab 
Anchovies Fried Rice

Shamsa cooked for us twice the day before. Forgot to take pictures though. That was a shame. But wow African food are YUMMY! Would love to learn someday. And Shamsa told me that the language in Lion King was in Swahili, which is an African language. For example 'Hakuna Matata' which means 'no worries' and such. Now THAT is definitely a language that I wanna learn! I always thought those words were just made up. ^^

I think that's enough for now. See ya next time!

Done Lecture 4, Break, Lecture 5 coming up

*sigh* 'procrastination' is the word for not just today but everyday ^^ Oh well~ Just saw Lady Gaga's new MV - Judas.



Despite all the religious outrage in the news and everything, I quite like the song and it's actually quite catchy . . but I'm not sure if it's alright for me to sing along with it :s But the actual meaning of the song isn't about anything religious at all . . maybe a lil' bit but the main story is about loving the wrong person over and over again, or should I say the SAME wrong person over and over again. The person who had betrayed her yet she still clings to him. So it should be alright...?

And there's this cover by one of my fave youtube artist:


Love the instrumental cover! ^^

Just voicing out my opinion before having another go at revision. Time to get back to it! Till next time~

Great Great Holiday, Time to Face the Real World Again

Have been to lots of places this Easter break. Did a lot of new stuff as well but haven't got the time to actually update here. I'll do that when I get the chance and time to later on. I'm currently in the process of updating my Field Diary for BIO1407 which is up for inspection tomorrow, along with the Collection. Yep that's right, it's all done and over with! Well not quite . . but it will be by tomorrow ^^ Right I'm still on Trip 7 in my Diary, 3 more trips to go .. I can do this! *being positive makes you healthy ;)*

So yeah will continue doing work for now. Might update just before exams start which is on the 18th of May, which would mean that I'd be procrastinating lol but hey we need to be happy to do good right? ^^ Alrighty adios for now. *wave2*
