A gift of Love

Assalamualaikum peeps,

It is my birthday today and since it is our mid-semester break, I am celebrating it at home with my folks and I bake us a decent cake. Well, I talk about the cake in my next post cause now I am focusing on the birthday gift I received from someone even though I should be posting this on yesterday midnight but I was too busy sobbing and catching my breath. Well, it is from somebody that I love. *batting eyelashes*

He did not buy me a diamond ring for my birthday, or an iPhone, but it was more than enough to me. Yes, the subject I am talking about right now, is my one and only Inche Jimmy.
Well, he gave me a bundle of books. Books that I always imagined or planned to have. It was nice, isn't it? Somebody, hell yeah somebody you love and you care noticed the little things about you. I am so touched to receive the gift and I cried after I opened it. You might find this silly, crying over a few pile of books. Not to mention old published books but, whatever, this is me and I like the way I behave. *smug face*

I think maybe it is because I posted about the previous entry before, about "A Girl Who Reads" quote, that a girl who reads would love to receive a book on her birthday and blablablaaaaaa. And maybe, maybe that is why he bought me books! But books which I really really really wanted to have.

Thank you for these babies. Even these might have to wait. I really wish I can actually read them like right now, but I have another commitment. My final year project is my priority now even I was struggling hard with my inner self right now. 

Most importantly, I thank Allah I found you. 

Date A Girl Who Reads

You should date a girl who reads.

Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books 

instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she 

has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants 

to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.

Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will
always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking
over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out
when she has found the book she wants. You see that weird chick
sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s
the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when
they are yellow and worn.

She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street.
If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on
top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the
author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls
who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.

Buy her another cup of coffee.

Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through
the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she
understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound
intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.

It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday,
for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry
and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her
know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she
knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s
going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will
never be your fault if she does.

She has to give it a shot somehow.

Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your
need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value,
nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.

Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads
up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things
must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That
you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is
meant to have a villain or two.

Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read
understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the
Twilight series.

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up
at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup
of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours, but she
will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the
book are real, because for a while, they always are.

You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert.
Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst
and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your
lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will
introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the
same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she
will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your
 boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who
can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her
monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re
better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it,
date a girl who reads.

Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

CINTAILAH PEREMPUAN YANG MEMBACA

(Oleh: Rosemarie Urquico. Terjemahan: Izmil Amri)

Cintailah perempuan yang membaca. Perempuan yang berhabis 
duit untuk buku danbukan baju. Dia punya masalah dengan ruang 
lemari baju, kerana dia punya terlalu banyak buku. Cintailah 
perempuan yang punya senarai buku-untuk-dibaca, perempuan 
yang punya kad perpustakaan sejak dia dua-belas tahun usia.

Carilah perempuan yang membaca. Dialah perempuan yang 
sentiasa menyimpan buku yang belum dibaca dalam tas tangannya. 
Dialah yang meninjau-ninjau di dalam kedai buku dengan penuh 
rasa kasih sayang. Yang menjerit kecil apabila ketemu buku yang 
dicari. Kau lihat gadis aneh yang mencium bau halaman buku lama 
di kedai buku terpakai itu? Itulah dia perempuan yang membaca. 
Dia tidak akan dapat tahan nafsu untuk menghidu halaman buku 
lama, terutamanya yang sudah mulai kuning.

Dialah perempuan yang membaca sambil menunggu di kedai kopi 
hujung jalan sana. Kalau kau lihat cawan kopinya, krimer bukan 
tenusu maseh lagi terapung di atas, dia sudah pun keasyikan. 
Hilang tenggelam dalam dunia bikinan si penulis. Duduklah di 
sebelahnya. Dia mungkin akan menjeling, kerana perempuan 
yang membaca tidak suka diganggu ketika membaca. Tanyalah 
jika dia suka buku yang dibacanya itu.

Belikan dia secawan kopi lagi.

Katakan pada dia apa yang kau fikir tentang Murakami. Lihat sama
ada dia sudah melepasi bab pertama Fellowship. Fahami bahawa
jika dia katakan yang dia faham Ulyssesnya si James Joyce, itu
hanyalah kerana mahu kelihatan cerdik. Tanyakan kalau-kalau
dia suka Alice, atau jika dia mahu menjadi Alice.

Alangkah senang bercinta dengan perempuan yang membaca.
Hadiahkan dia buku pada hari jadinya, pada Hari Natal dan pada
setiap ulangtahun. Hadiahkan padanya hadiah kata-kata, dalam
puisi, dalam lagu. Berikan dia Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings.
Biar dia mengerti bahawa kau memahami yang kata-kata itu adalah
cinta. Fahamilah yang dia sememangnya tahu beza antara dunia
buku dan realiti, walau dia bersungguh juga mahu bikin hidupnya
seakan buku yang paling dia suka. Bukan salah kau kalaupun dia
mencuba begitu.

Apa cara pun, dia mesti akan perlu mencuba juga.

Berbohonglah padanya. Jika dia memahami sintaks, dia akan
faham keperluan kau untuk berbohong. Di balik kata-kata ada
perkara-perkara lain: motivasi, nilai, nuansa, dialog. Tidak akan
kiamat lagi dunia, kalau kau bohong padanya.

Kecewakan dia dengan kegagalan. Kerana perempuan yang
membaca tahu bahawa kegagalan selalunya membawa kepada
klimaks jalan cerita. Kerana perempuan yang membaca faham
bahawa tidak semua perkara berakhir begitu sahaja. Masih boleh
ditulis sekuelnya. Masih boleh mula semula, lagi dan lagi, dan
masih boleh jadi hero. Dia faham bahawa dalam hidup, mesti ada
satu dua watak jahat.

Kenapa takutkan segala yang bukan kau? Perempuan yang membaca
memahami bahawa manusia, sama juga seperti watak dalam buku, berkembang.
Kecuali dalam siri Twilight.

Kalau kau ketemu perempuan yang membaca, janganlah dibiar
pergi jauh. Bila kau ketemu dia di tengah malam jam dua pagi
sedang memeluk buku ke dadanya dan menangis, buatkanlah dia
secawan teh dan peluk dia rapat-rapat. Kau mungkin kehilangan
dia untuk seketika, tetapi dia tetap akan kembali pada kau.
Dia akan berbicara seolah watak di dalam buku itu hidup, kerana
untuk satu ketika, watak-watak itu benar-benar hidup.

Kau akan melamarnya di atas belon udara panas. Atau ketika
konsert rock. Atau secara bersahaja bila dia jatuh sakit.
Atau melalui Skype.

Kau akan tersenyum sampai telinga dan tertanya-tanya kenapa
jantung kau masih belum meletup keluar dari rongga dada.
Kau akan menulis kisah hidup kau berdua, punya anak-anak dengan
nama pelik-pelik dan selera yang bukan-bukan. Dia akan perkenalkan
anak kau kepada Cat in the Hat dan Aslan, barangkali pada hari yang
sama. Kau akan berjalan di musim salji bersamanya bila sudah
berusia nanti, dan dia akan bacakan Keats dengan nada lembut
sambil kau ketis salji dari kasut.

Cintailah perempuan yang membaca kerana kau berhak. Kau berhak
untuk dapat seorang perempuan yang boleh memberi kau kehidupan
penuh warna. Kalau kau hanya sugul, membosankan
dan tidak serius, adalah lebih baik kau bersendirian.
Kalau kau mahukan dunia, dan
dunia-dunia di sebaliknya,
cintailah perempuan yang membaca.

Atau lebih baik, cintailah perempuan yang menulis.

My Love For Books

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys!

I am so sorry about the last time I updated this blog. Life is not easy huh?
I failed to wish my readers for Eid Ul Fitr and yet I am also failing in the attempt to wish you guys for Eid Ul Adha. I just can't keep my promise nowadays. Been busy with so much obstacles in life.

I've been living my life for a while. Reminiscing the good old days, when I was young. Someone told be it is pathetic to hold on old memories and the reason people hold on to their old memories are because, their present life are full of craps or whatsoever.

Hahaha. Well, I do find it is true somehow. *pity me*

It is not like my present life is full or craps, but I miss the old me I guess. The 'nerdy' girl who loves to read. Yeahhh, what else can I do in the past, when I was controlled by my aunt and her daughters. They were not 'controlling' me actually. I did think they were messing with my life but when I get older like now, I actually understands that was the good thing to do and I thank them for doing that to me.

I was banned to watch TV's on school days so the only entertainment I got was books. A shelf full of books. So I guess that is how I developed my love for books! *smiling*

I was a librarian in elementary school and I love to be surrounded by books. Fictions mostly. Since it is hard to ask for books supply from my parents, (books can get quite pricey to us back then) so I just stick with the library option. Right until secondary school until I met someone who also loves to read and willing to let me borrow some of hers. I randomly think about her when I read. *sounds weird but I am thankful to her I guess*

Norlina Deli, I you ever read this. Thank you for those years of book supplies. I wonder where are you now. I am back being a bibliophile now and most in my circle doesn't have the same interest as me. How stressfull! I can't comment or randomly talk about them.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownie

Assalamualaikum guys,

It's been way too long since I last wrote here. Forgive me will ya?

A semester has passed and I am not so happy with the result. Why? Because I am sure that I can do better. The results are just fine. It is better that last semester though but my cgpa dropped by 0.01 from last semester. Still sad about it. Most of the people congratulate me and said that "you've done well what." 

But I am never satisfied. Aku ni tergolong dalam kalangan orang-orang yang tak bersyukur ke? Aku bersyukur la dengan apa yang aku dapat tu. But..what if I say I know I can do better than that?

Whatever, benda dah lepas. Salah sendiri. Sem lepas memang macam malas sikit. HAHAHA
Sampai habis sem, planner tu tak pernah organized. So, to cure my sorrow, I eat a lot of happy food which are somehow not healthy. Chocolate do make you healthy at some point;

Seems yummy eh?

I've lost the template of my watermark for this blog, so no watermark for the pictures. I've try this a few times and it is now my favorite recipe. My family loves this too. Lets take a look at the recipe then.

Fudgy Chocolate Brownies

Ingredients:

1/2 cup salted butter
228 gram chocolate chips/ chopped chocolate *I'm using cooking chocolate*
3/4 cup sugar *skipped this as cooking chocolate is already sweet*
1/4 cup brown sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup all purpose flour (80 grams)
2 tsp cocoa powder
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla essence

*a little note here. For those who prefer a less fudgy or cake textured brownie like me; you should add in 1-1 and 1/2 tsp of baking powder.

Toppings:

Chocolate chips
Almond flakes
(or anything else you prefer)

Directions

Melt the butter and chopped chocolate about 5 minutes using the double boiler method.
Remove it from heat and leave it to cool.
Whisk the sugar with the cooled chocolate-butter mixture. Add eggs. Whisk in vanilla essence.
Gently fold in flour, cocoa powder and salt.
Fold in chocolate chips and almond flakes.
Preheat the oven first for 10 minutes.
Pour batter into the baking tin.
Sprinkle some of the chocolate chips and almond flakes and bake it for 30-45 minutes with 175 degree Celsius.

Tadaaa! Ready to be baked. 

If you don't have the baking paper like I use here, you can always use traditional method by coating the baking tin with butter/margarine. 

That is all. Thank you for reading. 

My Awesome Rainbow Cake

Assalamualaikum people!

Setelah lama menghilang, sini aku nak share resepi Rainbow Cake yang aku buat beberapa hari lepas. This is my second time making this cake actually. They turned out so well and tasted yummy too. 

Ni masa first time buat dulu. My 21st birthday cake. 

 I made this cake by my own to celebrate my parents on my birthday. Sorry for the piping. Piping yang comot. Almaklumlah first trial buat piping. The cream cheese was too soft.

yang ni ada lima layer je. Sebab malas. haha

 Well, below is the one that I made recently. Due to the insufficient cream cheese and a little bit of laziness in me, I do not do the piping deco but I am too hardworking to arrange the M&M's. :p

Rainbow cake!

This time, I managed to make it into 6 layers!

And the recipe are as follows:

1. 3 cwn tepung gandum
2. 4 sdk baking powder
3. 1/2 sdk garam
4. 1 cwn butter ~ suhu bilik
5. 2 cwn gula castor ~ kurangkan sebab manis
6. 5 biji putih telor ~ suhu bilik *aku menderhaka sikit kat sini - aku guna je kuning telur sekali*
7. 2 sdk esen vanila
8. 1 1/2 cawan susu segar ~ suhu bilik
9. pewarna - oren, merah, kuning, biru, ungu dan hijau

Sediakan loyang 8 inc ~ kalau boleh 3 loyang
Sapu loyang dengan butter dan alas dasar loyang dengan baking paper.
sapukan juga baking paper dengan butter
Panaskan oven pada suhu 170C

Ayakkan tepung, baking pwder dan  garam ~ ketepikan
Dalam bekas mixer pukul butter dan gula sampai kembang dan  gebu atau butter bertukar warna putih .
Masukkan telur putih  dan pukul lagi sampai gebu dan ringan
Masukkan esen vanila
Kemudian slowkan yang paling perlahan sekali, mixer, masukkan tepung berselang seli dengan susu segar
Boleh juga guna spatula dan guna kaedah kaup balik.

*Tepung kena berselang seli dengan susu. Mulai dengan tepung dan akhiri dengan tepung juga.
maksunya : tepung ~ susu ~ tepung ~ susu ~ tepung ~ susu dan akhir mesti tepung

Kemudian bahagikan adunan sama banyak dalam 6 bekas berasingan
*timbang setiap adunan supaya dia sama tebal bila dah siap di bakar

Letakkan pewarna dalam setiap bekas dan gaul rata
Masukkan dalam loyang
Bakar adunan tadi satu persatu dalam oven pada suhu 170C letak pada rak bawah menggunakan api atas dan bawah dan bakar selama 15 ~ 20 minit atau sehingga kek benar-benar masak. *aku punya 15 minit dah masak*


Bila dah masak letak atas redai
Tunggu dia sejuk sekejap dan kemudian terbalikkan
Kemudia boleh lah teruskan membakar pada adunan yang lain satu persatu hingga siap 6 lapisan
Jangan tindih2 kan kek bersama kerana kek mudah melekat dan nanti kek nampak comot dan tak cantik bila dia bertindih dan melekat antara satu sama lain.

Cream cheese toppings

Cream cheese

Stgh cawan butter

Satu cwn gula icing

Pukul semua bahan sampai kembang dan sebati. letak pewarna kalau nak dan paipkan ke atas kek. Sebelum tu ingat eh kena layerkan semua lapisan kek. 

Susun la ikut warna pelangi. 

Contoh lapisan pertama warna purple. Sapu cream cheese dan letak pula lapisan kedua iaitu warna biru and sampai la lapisan terakhir that is merah. 

Nak buat ni perlu ada kesabaran yang tinggi okay!

Good luck people!

Physically Black vs Visually Black

Hello and assalamualaikum people!

I am home after a hectic semester. Well, every semester as chaotic as it is. I've just safely arrived here in my home last Friday after finishing up my examination paper. Yeah, but I still have another examination paper to be taken on next Monday. not really this coming Monday but the other Monday in the following week. Back to the topic, 'Physically black vs Visually black' was my topic for my first ELC590 presentation. Since I was too busy to be updating about it and some of my classmates did posted their slides on blogs, I think it is good to share it here too.

If you are wondering what is my topic about, it is about coffee. And nap. 'Physically black' is the metaphor for coffee while 'Visually black' is the metaphor for napping. I was going to use a simply direct title like "Coffee vs Nap" but my Prof. suggested that we must choose at least a catchy title to make the topic sounds interesting. Okay..now let see some of the content I've provided for my presentation. We needed to provide visual aids to help audience understands and keeping interest in our topic.

A good speaker must have a good attention grabber to capture your audience attention. As for me, I cited a poem. An old poem about coffee but it was far less interesting I guess because I didn't get high score for my first attention grabber attempt. As you can see below, is my introduction slide, a little info about the history of coffee.

The three main headings for my speech was coffee and nap would give amazing effects on improving moods, boosting your performance level and last but not the least lowering the level of sleepiness.

There a lot of vitamins that can be found in coffee. Some of it are listed in the next slide I've provided.

Researchers have found that women who drink 4 or more cup of coffee per day have lower the 20% risk of being depressed. As reported by the Harvard University study in 2011.

Next, I am going to tell you how coffee helps in boosting our performance level. 

Coffee enters our system through the blood stream which means it reaches the brain in the range of 8-15 minutes after consumption. Originally, the adenosine supposed to bind with the adenosine receptor which would later making us feeling drowsy.

But, when caffeine came in, the receptor binds with caffeine instead of adenosine because the caffeine molecules are almost the same with adenosine.

Putuitary gland will now sees that and thinks there is an emergency going on. So, it tells the adrenal glands to produce adrenaline and then BAMMM. 5 minutes later you will get more energy.

My last point of speech is the effects of coffee and nap. As far as I concerned, both coffee and nap have can helps with sleepiness. .Especially during 'post dip lunch' which is the sleepiness that occurs in the mid afternoon after lunch. This happens due to dropping of cortisol, a natural chemical that helps to keep us in state. 

As a conclusion, both coffee and nap have restorative properties. Coffee can wears off especially when you've used to it but the combination of coffee and followed by a nap gives double energy in lowering the level of sleepiness.

That's all for my first ELC590 presentation. I'll be updating about my second presentation soon. Thank you for reading and don't forget to leave comments if you find this is interesting!

here's the references I've used. ^.^

Sorry that I abandoned you, love

Assalamulaikum..

It's been a while since my last post. Three months, I guess? Phew..
Second semester in Uitm Shah Alam. First semester living out of campus. Life is pretty amazing so far. even it does have ups and downs. well, that's what we call LIFE kan?

Oh, this semester we are studying about landscape planning. A little bit of Land and Planning Laws, and some other subjects as follows:

Subjects I am taking this semester.

Last month, yeah..exactly last month. We've been on a trip to Kuantan. It was wayyyy much different from the trips we've had in Perak. I guess it is because of the wayyyy different lecturers. We only did the study in day 1. Visual quality I mean. Not so much information to collect either since we're there on Thursday. Thursday afternoon to be precised. What should be there along the beach on Thursday afternoon? Nothing. Nada. Just a few villagers going on their daily routines. But it was so much fun on 2nd and 3rd day. Like we're coming here just to have a nice vacation. The hotel is quite awesome except there is no activities to do around the hotel area, and the Kuantan Waterfront too. Kuantan people are quite annoying to me. Not all but a few of them. Especially the one who's operating the stalls and kiosks. I must say they were quite rude to the customers. I am sorry to KUANTAN people. but this is what I and my friends thinks. I am buying a sizzling noodles in a mall, since it was quite late (what mall are about to close on 9pm?) I asked the lady when would my order would be done cooking but she'd just simply said " If you want to eat uncooked egg, you can have it now." It startled me and make me wanna curse her A LOT! Same thing also happened to my friend but at a different stall. I just can't stand local people being rude at the tourist. even it was local tourist from another state. urghhh..suddenly I feel angry again over an incident that happened last month.

okay. bye. ^.^
