its only six am. suddenly have this urge to wake up early to go to the gym.. Radz just txtd too. lol i guess im not the only one awake at this ungodly hour! Most probably meeting her up for korean bulgogi later for lunch. Which seems like ageeeees away. Finally giving the Pines Restaurant a try after so long! Went to checkout the place last night and i was impressed by how the tables were fitted with bbq hot plates! mcm hey! a real korean bbq place!!!!so i tot i’d go back again later to try out the food.

its friday. been back for almost a week now. everyone i know is planning a trip out of brunei over the long haj wknd. A couple of my friends are going to KK. though, id love to go..but ill probably save it for spontaneity! im done PLANNING remember? lol. the trip to KK would also depend on ‘if daddy says yes’. lol. My dad and bushu were having a discussion over tea yesterday and my dad was saying something about not being able to get mad at his children anymore cause we are all grown up now.. haha

bapa: awu mana lagi ku kan marah2 ni durang ani basar sudah.
bapa: mcm si siti ya kan ke melbourne ariatu ku suruh..mana lagi ada ku marah marah ni
bapa: durang basar sudah.
bapa: kalau kan belayar kah apa kah bejalan kah bekawan kah..mana ada eh nada ku kan marah.

ME: KALAU KAWIN ORG PUTEH?

bapa: Jangan!!!!!! *followed by the rolling of the eyes*

hahahaahahahahahahahahahahahaahaha. one word. JANGAN. i tot that was really funny. ok. im wide awake now. Spinning classes at the gym doesn’t start until 7:30. oh poo!

Im currently reading Sophie Kinsella’s, Twenties girl. just for light reading..running away from all of the seriousness of world politics. anyway, i dont know about you all but there’s just something about Sophie Kinsella’s books.. you tend to fall in love with the characters almost instantly that like a movie, you’d want to finish the book in 2hrs..ahaha but thats the thing right, everytime i finish a kinsella book i’d regret finishing it too quickly.. ’cause ill be like ai abis tia???’ in a good way of course! huhuhuhu and then i’d be contemplatingg reading the book again.. but i never do cause im too lazy. lol. thats the thing, i can watch movies over and over but i dont understand how some people can read a book over and over?? thats just crazy. huhuhu. but cute plang..hahaha one of my cousins does it. dont know if she still does it today.. but its cute. huhuhu. tapi banar jua tu. you pay 20+ some times 30 bucks over for a book only for it to be read ONCE. baik tah balik2 baca.

omg. dont mind me while i sound kiasu hahahahaha so skiranya kau bali buku atu ah $30 skali kau baca 100 kali. hahahahaahahahahaha.. lol. (seriously laughing at the tot of this) kira $0.30 skali baca. hahahahaha okay jua tu hahaha. skali lapas abis baca 100 kali, PINJAMKAN lagi arah org.. hahahaha. then you’d probably get your $30 worth and so much more!

im outtie.

kiss me.

The original of this song is abit..whatever. but the COVER to this song is amazing!

only if it was a liiiiiiiiiittle bit longer?

Thanks Billie for introducing me to this cover. This Airto guy is amazing! You all should check out his other covers on the MeTube. lol. i initially woke up for a shishi. hahaha. youtube tah pulangz. its 4:12AM. thiz iz early!!!!!!!!!!!!

kiss me

wat time is it??? its not even 7am. and im wideeeee awake. i tink i was in bed by 9pm last nite. haha. talk about early. i’m probably just exhausted from the travelling and what not..not to forget that melbourne is 3hrs ahead of brunei..so i tink im probably going through a mini jet lag as well. well, lets see if im in bed by 9pm again tonite. honestly, i dont mind sleeping early because beauty is sleep and sleep is beauty 🙂

ive got something at 8am. and then im free the whole day. no idea what im going to do. sucks not havinga job. i think im the only one in house who is officially a penganggur now. mal’s working kel’s been working for ages now.. and here i am.. contemplating sleep or telivision at 7am in the morning.

Maybe i should start testing new recipes to add on to Thecakery. i bought a few bags full of really good chocolate while i was in Melbourne..i really dont know how people do it. like come out with a set of items to sell at once. I reckon they’ve all probably been baking all their lives! cause its not easy coming out with a full proof recipe..exsp one that requires measurements and an oven! honestly, i was never in to baking. infact i used to hate it with a passion. It wasn’t until i tried out my first brownie recipe that i tot i had a knack for it..even then i still wasnt in love. The love affair with baking only began when i successfully made my first batch of choux pastry and turned them in to fluffy golden profiteroles!

speaking about baking.. i managed to catch Julie & Julia on the plane. FINALLY. a good foodie movie! i had high expectaions on ‘No Reservations’ (Cath Zeta) being the next foodie movie of the decade but unfortunately apart from chefs throwing tantrums in the kitchen, it really didnt hit a high note with me. Infact, the last good foodie movie i saw was Chocolat, just like the book it was DELICIOUS..they even threw in Johnny Depp for DESSERT! WOOT WOOT!! hahaha.. I think Like Water for Chocolate wouldve been good too, if only it was in english.. the version that i saw was a direct translation of the book haha it was in spanish too! dubbed in english! lol. i can’t wait for hollywood to come out with a contemporary version of it. Although i have a feeling they already did in the form of ‘ Simply Irresistible ‘ starring Michelle Gellar. I remembered watching it over and over on vcd when it first came out. 10 years later, finally found a copy of the movie on ebay and ive only seen it once ever since! the food cinematography’s fabulous however, the story line’s abit on the cliched side..and haha it took me 10 years to realise that people. lol. Another good foodie movie to watch out for is in the form of K-drama titled, My Lovely Samsoon.

Like all the movies i mentioned, Julie & Julia is another foodie collectible. Starring Meryl Streep!! (EEEPSSS MERYL STREEP!) as Julia Child and Amy Adams as blogger Julie Powell. Its a story about two ladies from different times both in love with their food and cooking. Julie feeling lost about life decided to open up a blog that would record her trials and triumphs with recipes from Julia Child’s cook book titled ‘Mastering the art of French Cooking’. The movie on the other hand, tells Julia Child’s journey in France as some sort of an American diplomat’s wife. Not having anything to do she filled up her days at cooking classes at Le Cordon Bleu and decided to write a book on French Cooking for American readers as they weren’t any at that time. Both women share loving husbands that were supportive of their careers (BLESS!!!), both found some sort of orgasmic joy in cooking… you’d just have to watch it la! hahaha.. its a really feel-good movie. and i can’t wait for it to come out on dvd…! Now im thinking if i should open up a food blog of my own.. huhuhu anyway,

WATCH.

kiss me
ps: i loved it so much i saw it twice! haha back to back! 🙂

Ive got babyface playing on my itunes. his 2005, Grown Sexy album. This album will forever remind me of melbourne and the Hassan sisters. I’m back. had to cut trip short due to a ‘sound-promising-and-im-very-hopeful-that-i-will-get-it’ commitment. i just hope this is it,my calling..please let this be my calling.

I realised that there’s no point in planning. you can plan plan plan plan plan plan plan all your life but at the end of the day its up to god as to whether it will come accordingly or not. Hey, i planned on holidaying in melbourne for 2 weeks.. 3 days later, i had to go on the next flight home. Coming home for good last January, i had planned alot of things. i wanted alot of things..and 11 months later, i find myself back where i was 3 years ago.. not really knowing what to do next..

The recebt short trip to melbourne made me realise something important.. ive learnt from here and now on that i should just go with the flow.. take whatever comes as it is. plan less, live more 🙂 inshallah, everything will fall in to place. amin.

kiss me.
