Owh Emm Gee

My angry birds is back! Just when i was about to repair replace it.. it came back alive!

Btw, this aptly explains my sad obsession!

Apple Crisp My Crumbling Heart

When my smartphone was busted last Saturday, I felt so lost.
Its like losing an extension of you. I know.. over sangat kan.. but it did feel like losing a limb.

As pathetic as this may sound, but among the things i missed the most was Angry Birds! So much so that i even installed the PC version of it on MHM's laptop :-P

So in honor of that Apple and to stop myself from feeling depressed, I made Apple Crisp Chenta Hati Saya (nama Melayu ho kay). An apple crisp is somewhat similar to a crumble except its topping is slightly different. The difference and recipe's for both can be found here.

Tuan tuan dan puan puan..

Bahan bahan yang di perlukan
Apples (Du uh?)
Nutmeg and Cinnamon powder
Flour
Butter
Dried Oats
Brown Sugar


You start by peeling and cutting up the apples into bite size pieces.


I tweaked the recipe a bit by mixing the cut up apples with a table spoon of brown sugar and a bit of cinnamon instead of just leaving it bare.

Then you mix all the dry ingredients with butter and scatter it all over the table on the apples until it covers up the whole casserole dish.


Finally bake until golden brown. Or in my case, until hitam.

Note to self : When the recipe says to pre-heat the oven at 375°F, it doesnt mean that u cook it at that temperature too. Cooking temperature could be lower.

Eventhough it came out slightly burnt, but luckily rasanya masih sedap.

Sekian saja tuan - tuan dan puan - puan sekalian.
Selamat mencuba!

You would think that being in an environment that doesn't promote lateral thinking nor requires u to use high level of English would zap you of your intelligence

But ladies and gentleman..
Alhamdulillah ..

Saya MASIH bijak ..(rupanya)..

Thank God

Sepatu tinggi di Milan

I may hate the odd akak/makcik blogging about her latest prada/coach/gucci handbag but i dont hate fashion.

The truth is, i love it!

and I may not dress fashionably (i think my sister is better at that.. i know you're reading this..terus kembang hidung bangga kan? :-P) but at least i dress sensibly.

I read magazines and i love fashion blogs.
The Sartorialist being one of my favorites tapi bile tengok sekali, rasa nak tengok berhari hari.. as in i want to look at all the pages..
sangat melekakan..

The latest blog i found is Bryanboy (featured in our daily free newspaper) who apparently is famous in the fashion industry!
He started from being an unknown blogger who wrote about his travels and the latest trends to someone who hangs out with big names in the industry and getting invited to all the exclusive fashion shows.

I think he is such an inspiration!

and I secretly wish i had the guts (and MONEY!) to wear all those weird looking outfits.

I know my Kingdom awaits and they've forgiven my mistakes

Every time i click on your link, i hold my breath just for a second, anticipating a new entry that would blow my mind (again).

And as your page loads up ever so slowly, it feels like time stands still just for that mere second.

And when the pages finally appear, and i realize that there are no new updates.. my heart sinks just a little from the disappointment.

But tomorrow is another day and i will again click on that familiar link and the ritual repeats all over again as i leave with hope and longing.

I took up yoga 2 years ago to supplement my running activities. You know how they say yoga makes you exercise muscles that you never knew you had before? Believe me, I know what that means.

The first time I tried a class was during the Yogazone days when one of my aunties was a member. I've heard a lot of things about yoga those days, one of them was a story of a girlfriend who loss a lot of weight from taking classes for a whole year.

So I joined one of the trial classes with my aunt and to tell you the truth, I did not enjoy it at all. It was boring and I didnt even sweat that much.

Fast forward a few years later when I was training for my first (and only.. for now) half marathon, I was looking for something to do on rest days. The gym I joined offered free yoga classes so i said to myself.. "what the heck, lets give this another go..". It was a monday class and oh my God i sweated like a pig. And my whole body ached for a week!

but....

I did feel a little different during my runs. So since then, i started doing yoga every monday. There were good days and there were bad days. There were days where the poses made me ache and there were ones that made me feel down ,feeling sad that i wasnt as limber as the other students. But little by little i felt my body change, and improve.

Okey.. so the whole point of me rambling about is only this.. After 2 years of trying and failing (its not like i do it in every class but sporadically.. whenever the teacher instructs us) i finally managed to do this..


and... OMG... the feeling is ....indescribable..

bangga gile mak, nyah!
