Unintentional pamper day

When I was out yesterday, I thought I should buy myself some comfort food, with the sole intention to help me go through my busy geeking days.


I ended not doing work :( Instead, I binged the food while watching my long awaiting downloaded series. I slept a lot too! Woke up at 3pm? (From 6am of course) I feel so guilty...but then kan, I believe it happens for a reason --> I might not get the chance to play around and good enough sleep anymore next week, so this might be the last time I'm ever gonna be able to have a good play time.

A good Arabian friend of mine whom I met during our SSC module early this year, gave me a good doa to read for the exam. It's extracted from Surah Shua'ra verse 83 and she said that Syeikh Jamal Uddin advised to read this verse before every exam, as it had helped him go through each of his exam, even without studying. So I found the surah and made a note for myself. Insyallah, hopefully, along with my other doa and prayers, I hope this one will help me go through this intimidating exam as well :)

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي حُكْمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ

(Wahai Tuhanku, berikanlah daku ilmu pengetahuan agama dan hubungkanlah daku dengan orang-orang yang soleh)

Goodluck to you out there who are having exams :)

My easter holiday so far ...

Pretty much unproductive... Beginning of last week, I went cruising around Byre's road and Great Western Road to buy toiletries for my Paris trip (syked!!!!) and bought few cheap books @ some charity shop. Also went to crash at a friend's place for 2 days  - doing nothing except giving him a mental physical support while he's revisioning lol - i was such a pest. Then I went to another friend's house during the weekend for Syikeen's farewell - she's leaving Glasgow for good :'(

this is me in my lazy bum mode lol

my lil' trip to Little Italy

pestering around Jim's room

holiday is incomplete without food am i right?

Farewell Kin~

There are couple things that i've skipped, simply because I'm just too darn to lazy to post the pictures. LOL. Liat facebook saja k?

Murtabak / Crepe?

Yesterday, Edah bought me a crepe, and I was imagining it would be crispy and just like those you get from the Mall shop. It was a banana chocolate crepe. Kali liat, mcm murtabak (sia sia pun), not even a slightest hint of crisp. Taste like chocolate with roti dosai. Sia sia pun ja crepe di Brunei. Wawawa.

Business baru :P

There are lotsa things that I, or rather we, wanna make / bake / do after going through so many "craving" moments. I guess everyone who are living overseas would experience the same notion. Anyway, yesterday, we made...

• SweetCorn!!! - in our very own style lol. Actually, thats a lie, banarnya taisliur kan those sweetcorn yang bejual di Nelson. Kekeke. Easily done, just buy sweetcorn in a package, steamed them, and then mixed with the sweetcorn with butter, salt, pepper (depends on your preference, I like black pepper :D)

• Chocolate Pancake / Chocolate Malaya (without peanuts unfortunately :( if only) - this one Al yang buat, since he's a choc-fanatic. Taste nice, but would be much more nice if ada peanuts just like kuih Malaya atu...*droolz* 

Banarnya there are more, still pending...like

• Nasi Katok - haven't got around with it yet
• My famous baked macaroni bolognese with cheese - tho' the stuffs are already in fridge
• My Oreo Cream Dessert - haven't found the heavy whipped cream to replace the nestle cream
• Popia / Spring Rolls - coz I haven't found mixed vegetable yet
• Roti John - because we haven't bought the minced beef yet
• Rojak - because no ingredient available here
