Assalamualaikum,

Sejak akhir2 ni, semangat nk berblog dah makin susut, bertentang dgn semangat perkembangan fizikal. -.- Baru je abes cuti Easter sebenarnya. Tp, time cuti tu pon, even xde buat ape sgt kt rumah, xde jugak initiate nk update blog yg dah kusam ni. So, tgh mlm2 buta ni, baru nk update. (sebenarnya, baru sedar yg blog ni dah slalu sgt diabaikan) Lebih kurang seminggu yg lepas. Aku ikut member2 tgk bola kat stadium. First time la tu kot experiencing the live football match ever in my life. Sementara hari masih awl lagi, kitorg lepak2, jalan2, n makan2 dlu area bayswater. Makan peking duck! Haha. Lama kot kitorg duk kt kedai tu. Amoi kt situ pon dah pandang semcm je kt kitorg. Ala, bukan ade ramai org pon~~ Lek laa..

Kenyang makan itik yg penuh dgn lemak tu, kitorg g solat asar kt MSD. Lepas tu, dlm duk tgh kenyang tu pon, sempat lg layan teh tarik segelas sorg pulak. Bila pekena teh tarik, tambah pulak dgn perut penuh, nak bjalan pon x larat. Haha. Buruk kan, perangai? Tube dr bayswater ke stadium penuh sesak dgn org baru nk balik keje dan jugak penyokong2 bola yg same hala tuju dgn kami. 

Oleh sbb member aku tu penyokong chelsea, so, aku pon terpaksa la masuk geng dia. Kalo ikutkan, aku xde fav football club pon, sbb x ikut sgt perkembangan bola. (shame, kan? hukhuk) Sbb aku pergi sekadar nk experience je, so xde la aku bersemangat waja smpi nk g beli jersey chelsea mcm budak 2 org ni. Adoi~ Tp agak berbaloi la kot, sbb hr tu dorg ade wat sale. Harga asal dlm £42, tp dorg dpt £25. Ade org ckp, harga jersey kt stadium lg murah. Aku x rs mcm tu. Seingat aku, mase aku pergi tour Old Trafford n Liverpool stadium dlu, harga jersey x murah pon. Same je dgn harga biasa. Cume, besenye, kalo nk travel ke stadium semata2 nk beli jersey, mmg x berbaloi la kan. 

Dah shopping2 sket, baru la kitorg masuk stadium. Yg pasti, bukan aku la yg duk shopping tu. Aku tgk je. Hehe. Waktu tu, dlm stadium blom ramai org yg masuk n ambek seat masing2. So, kami2 di ajak oleh mamat diehard chelsea (alep) g ronda2 tgk kwsn. (dah mcm wakil rakyat la plak) Pemain birm city tgh warm up n training kt padang. Beberapa minit lepas tu, baru la pemain chelsea masuk. Mcm2 aksi la jugak dpt tgk, tp x dpt lawan tgk aksi 'press'. Sorg2 bwk camera dgn lens yg panjang dan besar gedabak, kot~ Kagum gile tgk. Haha. Bape kilo la agaknya berat camera tu ek? :P

Puas bergambar, kitorg balik kt seat masing2. Lagipon, segan la plak nk mencapab bila dah ramai org mula masuk, kan? Tgh2 aku syok tgk gmbr yg da disnap2, game bermula. Lebih kurang 3 minit lepas game start, chelsea dah score first goal. Aku mcm, "haaa? biar betik birm!" Siyes. Terkejut jugak. Sbb menurut si alep tu, game before ni, chelsea dah penah bertemu dgn birm g stadium lawan dan kalah kt tangan birm. So, ni mcm pay back la ye? Konon nk proof 'we play better at our own place'? Teori aku je tu, sila jgn salah sangka. 

Abes je first half, chelsea dahului game dgn 2-0. Beberapa minit lepas start 2nd half, ade 1 ketika tu, aku yg x reti tgk bola ni pon bleh marah tgk chelsea main. Sorry la ek peminat chelsea. Main mcm pondan! Apekah? Passing ntah ape2, mcm da xde energy je. Naseb baik few seconds je jd mcm tu. Ni, kalo pemain msia yg main lwn indonesia, org yg buat spekulasi dah. Konon2 kne jampi or pukau. Biasala, melayu~ @.@ Aku x sure dlm minit ke berapa birm score nk pecahkan mata 0 dorg. Yg pasti, gol tu dari hasil free kick atau penalti. Lupa dah. Chelsea pon ade dpt 1 free kick dlm kotak penalti. Drogba yg ambek. Heh~ Syg je, sepakan yg x berapa menarik, x dpt score. Game berakhir dgn mata chelsea 3 dan birm 1. 

Utk pengetahuan pembaca sekalian, aku bkn peminat bola dan sama skali bkn penganalisis sukan bola sepak. So, ulasan2 kt atas ni, dari kaca mata dan perspektif aku sendiri. Ingin aku tegaskan kt cni, kalo nk taw ape sebenarnye jadi, pi lah bace review atau blog2 org lain. Lgpon, match ni dah seminggu berakhir kan. Mesti dah mcm2 berita yg kuwa. 

FJ : Nak tdo dah. Esok ade klas -_-

Biarlah kehilangan semua yang dimiliki di dunia
Asal masih adanya kamu


FJ : syok x lagu ni? :P

I have to say, they really did great job by subbing this episode! Congratulations! I love the 'hide and seek' game for this episode and the two SNSD were really really good! Sunny-ssi, Yoona-ssi, daebak!

Setelah sekian lame ternanti-nanti, akhirnya, borang penempatan kerja dan borang tiket pulang ke Malaysia dah selamat berada dlm tangan. Namun, itu x bermakna segalanya dah selesai. Borang2 tu, aku belum isi lagi. Utk borang tiket, x pasti, bila tarikh for sure course akan tamat dgn majlis2 yg dah dirancang oleh pihak university. Pasal borang penempatan pulak, x tahu nk pilih matriks mane. Aku suruh adik aku tanya mak, mak cakap, "sabah or sarawak pon boleh.." Eleh, aku tahu mak aku gurau je. Dia ingat aku x tahu yg dia tu dah x sanggup nak berjauhan dgn anak dia ni? Dah 5 tahun mcm ni, ada hati nk suruh anak mintak kerja jauh2, konon.

Aku kena fikir betul2 pasal tempat kerja tu. Tadi, bila aku btaw adik aku prospek course dia in long term, buat aku terfikir jugak tentang future aku. Antaranya, aku memang nk sambung study buat master. InsyaAllah nak buat part time, lepas lebih kurang 6 bulan or up to 1 year dah kerja. So, aku rase, salah satu kriteria penting utk pilih matriks; dekat dgn universiti yg ada tawarkan course yg aku nak (either buat maths atau education). Aku buat research sket2 utk potential universities yg mungkin aku nk pilih nanti. (I took this damn serious, man!)

OUM : Master of Science, Master of Education, Master of Counselling (maybe xkan ambek counselling kot)

UiTM : Master of Science, MSc Applied Statistics, Master of Education (ade 3-4 major bleh buat)

UPM : Master of Education (byk gile range bleh pilih), Master of Applied Statistics

UTM : MSc Mathematics, Master of Education (byk jugak major yg bleh pilih)

UM : MSc Mathematics, Master of Education (byk jugak, tp ade 1 ni yg menarik; Master of Mathematics Education with Information Communication and Technology (MMathEd with ICT)

UKM : Master of Education, pastu yg science courses, aku x bape paham sket..

USM : MSc Mathematics

Bila aku check balik, kebanyakan universiti yg aku usha ni, xde la dekat dgn pon dgn matriks. So, aku x pasti dah critieria pertama ni boleh diguna pakai ke x. At least, kalo x berapa jauh, xde la nanti aku bazir byk duit kt transport, kan? Next criteria.. errrr.. err.. xde kot? Ni je ke external criteria yg aku ade? (mak aku adalah internal ok?) Kalo ade bf ke, calon ke, bleh jugak nk dijadikan criteria ke 2, sbb musabab nk pilih matriks, kan? Hahaha.. 

Nk tanya pendapat org pon, x taw nk tanya siapa. Kalau tanya mak pon, sure mak jawab, "entah la.. mak bukan tahu sangat.." Korang2 yg bace ni, kasi la idea sket ek.. 

FJ : Esok nak gi tengok wayang! Kalau rajin, nanti aku review Red Riding Hood, okey? 

I took it really serious as I counted down things to say and do after this 

my heart was beating so fast as my chest wanted to explode

yet you asked me how I feel and I wasn't sure myself how to express it

I thought I lose something important, but I don't know what it was

I thought it was the end of the friendship

a great shock indeed

FJ : It wasn't april fool, it wasn't my birthday, neither do yours.. I wonder, what was the prank for? You! Answer me! *dush dush*

I haven't write here like ages, right! Hukhuk. Sorry for that -.- Few days ago, I was so determined to baking and decided to make red velvet cake - instead of red velvet cupcakes, with cream cheese frosting. I am so not great with baking but I really really wanted to try this cake on my own, for like weeks but didn't manage to find the suitable time due to the busy world of school placement. Dear my lovely readers, I'll share the recipe here and hopefully you guys will try it someday! :)

250g cake flour (or plain flour)

pinch of salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

2 teaspoons cocoa powder

2tablespoons red colouring

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

240ml buttermilk

1 teaspoon white distilled vinegar

113g unsalted butter

300g granulated sugar

1-8 ounce (227g) cream cheese

1-8 ounce (227g) tub Mascarpone cheese

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

115g icing sugar

240ml double cream

1. Preheat oven to 350 F (160 C). Grease and four the baking pan(s). Remove excess flour. (You can use 2 baking pans if you prefer to make 2 layers cake, but I only use 1 pan).

2. Mix flour, baking soda and salt in a bowl. 

3. Put buttermilk, vinegar, vanilla extract and eggs into separate bowl. Whisk them together.

4. In a small bowl, whisk the cocoa powder and red colouring. 

5. In the electric mixer bowl, put butter and sugar together. Mix them with medium speed until the mixture becomes fluffy.

6. Take 1/3 of the flour mixture and 1/2 of the buttermilk mixture and add them into the electric mixer bowl. Whisk the mixture together.

7. While mixing, slowly add the remaining buttermilk mixture and flour mixture in the bowl in medium high speed.

8. Add colouring mixture and mix for 30 seconds or until well-mixed.

9. Pour into pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. (May need more time - do not forget to check your cake after 25 minutes)

10. Let the cake cool before starting to put on the cream cheese frosting. 

Next thing, how to make the cream cheese frosting? It was my very first time trying to make the frosting, and I could say it was not a great success. I mistakenly bought cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. Well, blame me for not knowing what cream cheese a.k.a soft cheese, were even I have used them before. To not let the same thing happen again, I'll definitely buy Philadelphia cheese for my next attempt! :D

Frosting;

1. Beat cream cheese and mascarpone cheese until smooth.

2. Add vanilla extract and icing sugar. Beat until smooth.

3. Add double cream and mix the mixture until it looked 'heavy'.

4. Add more icing sugar or cream as needed.

Then, you can spread the frosting on the cake or in between the 2 layers, if you want. Again, I am totally not an experienced baking chef, so my frosting was not good looking at all. 

FJ : My cake was hangus sket kt bawah tu, sbb x reti nk control gas-oven. Hukhuk. Selamat mencuba!

Assalamualaikum, 

aku sepatutnye dh tdo skrg. Tp, sbb da tdo lepas maghrib td, skrg dah x ngantuk. Haishh. Esok kena pergi skolah utk mggu terakhir sebelum bermulanya cuti musim bunga. Siang td, aku ade call family kat msia. Ade cerita kelakar (dan cemas) utk aku kongsikan kt cni. 

Kisahnya bermula dgn situasi cemas. Waktu tu, petang di hujung minggu. Biasanya petang2 mcm tu, mak aku (kdg2 dgn adik aku yg skrg ni ade kt rumah) duk melepak depan rumah sambil borak2, minum teh, atau buat kerja dgn laptop masing2. Sedang mak aku busy dgn urusan kerjanya, tibe2 dia terperanjat bila seekor ular yg panjangnye antara 1.5-2.0 meter tibe2 muncul kat halaman rumah kitorg. Terus mak aku call ayah aku, yg biasanya petang2 mcm tu, dia busy dgn urusan bisnes kecil2an dia. Menurut mak aku, ular tu, hampir2 nk masuk dlm rumah! Woh~ Aku yg dengar pon, agak cemas juga (aku x panic, cool je, cume cemas sket :P) Seingat aku, kali terakhir aku nmpk ular kt kwsn rumah aku, waktu aku umur dlm lingkungan 10-11 tahun. Dah lame sgt, sbb aku pon dah umur berapa, kan.. 

Part yg x-tahan-x-bleh-blah, malam hari kejadian, mak aku mimpi adik aku dipinang orang! Nah~! Kata mak aku, ade sorg budak laki, yg apparently mmg wujud di alam nyata (dan mak aku mmg kenal sgt dgn dia n mak dia) bertanyakan kat mak aku perihal adik aku. Mula2, mak aku ckp, "mak cik xbleh lah nk ckp ape2, kne tanya dia sendiri la.. kalo xde org, xpe.. " Ayat mak aku ni, dah berunsur2 perjanjian dah. Sbb, kalo adik aku 'xde sape2', maknanya dia kne kawin dgn budak tu la kan? Budak tu pon, balik la dgn hati yg hampa. Beberapa minggu lepas tu, dia dtg lagi, bertanyakan hal yg sama. Oleh sbb waktu tu (dlm mimpi mak aku lah, realitinya aku x pasti) adik aku mmg xde berhubungan dgn sape2, mak aku terpaksalah terima pinangan budak tu. Kata mak aku, dlm mimpi dia, adik aku tu, ala2 konpius dan rela-paksa je kawin dgn budak laki tu. Aduhai~ Mak aku siap cerita kt cikgu2 skolah dia psl mimpi tu. Dorg gelak sakan! Lawak seyh!

Mesti mak aku terfikir2 sgt psl ular tu, sbb tu dia mimpi mcm tu. Ala, biasanya, org2 tua ckp, kalo mimpi dipatuk ular, nnti ade org nk masuk meminang. Tapi, kisah mak aku ni lain pulak. Terbalik. Nampak ular kat realiti, hal pinangan dlm mimpi. Sbb ape aku ckp lawak? Satu, sbb yg mcm aku explain kt atas ni, benda yg terjadi terbalik. Dua, adik aku tu, memanglah bukan jenis yg ikut-je-mak-ayah-cakap-ape. Dia mesti melawan punyalah! Tiga, budak lelaki tu, sebenarnya (by this, i mean mmg sebenar-benarnya) dah kawin pon! Xkan la pulak adik aku jadi wife no 2 kan? Aigoo~ Empat, aku rase, mak aku x sabar2 kot nk dpt menantu. Jumaat hari tu, dia beria2 duk handle majlis bertunang sepupu aku. Ni penangan majlis tu la kot.. Hehe :D

Lepas bergelak ketawa, aku tanya balik adik aku psl kes ular tu. Yelah, risau jugak, kan.

"Ayah buat ape bila sampai rumah?"

"Nak buat ape, ularnya dah menghilang ntah ke mana."

"Then, ayah xde cakap pape?" -> ayat stendet aku nk taw reaksi ayah.

"Ayah ckp, ular tu, ayah yg bela.."

"Hah???" --> terperanjat abes wa ckp lu.

"Ayah ckp, ayah mmg slalu jumpe ular tu kat blakang rumah kalo ayah pegi tgk pokok2 buah. Ayah buat x taw je sbb ular tu x berbisa."

Adoi~ ayah aku. Apekehei pulak buat ular jadi pet, nih?? Nway, korg, ade cite ular & pinangan yg real, mau share, x?

FJ : Kena paksa tdo jugak. Tomorrow will be a long day for me. Byk preparation, revision, discussion yg akan membawa kpd rase tension dan stress. Hukhuk. Selamat hari isnin semua. I know monday is suck. But, we have to face the reality.
