alice + shirley + cooking = disaster.

it's SUNDAY!! i was supposed to be couch potato, sitting in front of tv with a bag of chips and coke on the table.. AhhhHH~~ tat's enjoying life.. lol..

But, guess wad? i spent my whole afternoon in the kitchen.. together with my eldest sis.. we are trying to cook lagsana.... surprising enough for those who understands me and my sis well.. you gonna burst out laughing real loud (yeahh.. i know i know..) u will be praying tat i din burn my kitchen and ended up with firefighters rushing to my house.. lol.. tat could be possible right? haha

Initially, at the shopping mall, both of us just plan to bake it. but when we see the instruction, we gave up. we dun even know where can we get nutmeg.. then here comes the DEVIL who challenged us, saying tat we wont be able to cook a lagsana. quickly, we went to take everything except nutmeg and chicken stock.

back at home, we started our mission. lol.. i think some of the pictures will explain how it was going on for the whole afternoon..

she's all smile and happy at the beginning of the process.

ta dah~! see??! I'm doing something,k?


the lagsana before we baked.

looking delicious. [a successful one]



some of the ingredient.

the packaging of the instant lasagna. complete with instruction at the back.


sadly. my sis dun even know how to use the can opener. figuring it out.





blame the dumb me for throwing in the beef mince before we defrost it. so we end up having a hard time trying to defrost it in the pan and preventing the carrots, garlic and onion from being charred. it was a really a hard work.




finally. this is the meat sauce. we success! hoooooraaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!



this is the cheese sauce. it looks good. it's fantastic. it's one of its kind.

our very first lagsana ready to be baked in the microwave.

feel the satisfaction? i do! at least for tat moment.. lol

this is the lagsana for our last attempt.. it look hideous. but dun judge it by its look ler.. it is actually quite delicious. AHEM.. i am an honest kid.



FAILURE :

1. the cheese. it was a sad story. i mistaken it for the butter and i cut it and gave it to my sis. then my sis cook it for a few minutes finding it strange.. why it would not melt. after that only we realise, it is CHEESE.

2. the flour + water + butter. the instruction DID NOT say mix the flour with water. My smart sis and genius me said, we should add water. we add the the 3 stuffs together, we get wad u see in the pic above. FAIL. so we have to repeat the step once more, this time, WITHOUT adding water. and we success!

3. SUGAR. i'm looking for salt. then i found one. i asked my sis to make sure it is salt. i told her, "this is MSG". taking a glimpse of the bottle, she told me, "it is salt". the only choice i left is go out and ask my mum. shocking answer. it is SUGAR. *embarrasing*

4. BEEF MINCE. i did mention earlier how dumb i am. but i havent mention how dumb my sis wad to put it in the freezer as soon as we got home. she was supposed to be putting it to defrost.. hahha.. actually cooking the beef mince is the hardest part. we were sweating. lol..

5. OPERATING THE STUPID MICROWAVE. blame it on Panasonic for giving me a instruction book with recipe and not about HOW TO OPERATE THE STUPID MICROWAVE. we had a hard time trying to figure out how to use it.

i guess that's enough failure for the two of us. lol. but cooking with my eldest sis, i know it will ended up like this. mistakes. mistakes. and more mistakes! lol.. have a great day and superb lagsana. it is delicious. it is yummy. it is tasty. the cost? RM2.8 [for the flour, cuz we need to went out once again to but the flour because we forget about it.] Other food is being sponsored. lol

and FINALLY, to reveal the DEVIL who caused all the mess, picture below:

she is my MUM! lol.. she's helping me to cut the carrots which i was supposed to be cutting.. i am busy with other stuff,k? i got plenty of good excuses. *wink*

but i guess she was right. we cant handle it. the next time u ask me to cook, i'll tell u to go to secret recipe to have lagsana. u dun need to wait whole afternoon just to eat it.

conclusion. my sis and i don't know how to cook. better luck next time.

p/s: the first lagsana picture is not being post because it will make those of you who want to eat lagsana, PUKE. maybe not puke, just lose ur appetite. lol.

Until that time.. shattered glass..

"Don't be afraid, i'll always be by your side".
That's what you once told me,
when i need someone to be there.
But how could you leave me at the moment i need you most.
I wondered.
I searched for the answer.
And i found nothing.
Nothing.
And i mean nothing.
Feels like an empty shell,
Memories of us fading away.
Eversince you broke your promise to me.
What about your 10,000 promises?
That you gave to me.
What about the 10,000 promises?
That you've promised me.
You had broken every bit of your promises.
How could you do this to me?
If you couldn't keep your promises,
Why you told me so?
When you can't even do that,
And giving me all those false HOPES,
SHATTERED by your promises.
I'm lost,
Totally.
Sometimes,
I wonder,
If i could find my way out,
away from this,
away from love,
away from you,
shall i go?
Or shall i find a way back to your heart?
Then again,
It's not that i can't live without you.
Chances i will take,
To try.
Can i find someone else to replace you in my heart?
I really want to know,
Are you the one for me?
Or there are someone out there who is waiting for me.
Please don't let me wait any longer.
Answer me now or never.
Alone.
Time.
Spend.
Wish.
These few words,
Wish i could spend some time alone with you,
only with you.
With no one else around.
Where ever i go,
I'm only with you.
Peace.
Harmony.
Within our reach.
No disturbance.
Or even interruption.
Just you and me.
Looking at the picture in my hand,
I found out that it is just the beginning,
Although we had different dreams, hopes and ambitions,
After such a long time we walked together,
finally,
we are here,
with both choosing the same path.
To be together..
Let's walked the road we chose together.
Now and forever.

British King George V class battleship.

Instruction book

King George V Battleship Model

Special thanks to my dear piggy brother for finding me stuff to do during this long long holiday... he went to buy a model of "British King George V class battleship" the other day. Yayyyy! British Battleship King George V model! Here i come!!

hmmm.. hmmm.. hmmm.. by just looking at the picture and flipping through the instructions on how to assemble it, make me feel dizzzzzy.. lol.. Yet, i cant wait to start! It gonna be time-consuming to assemble it. But hey! i got a lot of time wad.. *wink*

Well, there's ONE big problem.. that is.. now i'm in dilema.. should i start to assemble it without my brother? he's in kl right now and wont be back til next week.. i can assemble simple puzzle and i MEAN uncomplicated and completely effortless type of puzzle but not a battleship.. lol.. i think i better wait.. i wait. i wait. i wait.

Now i'm proud to announce the estimated time to finish constructing it is 1 year given no obstacle due to procrastination, laziness and sluggishness.. lol.. if finish within 1 year, tat's wad we called determination! if finish within 1 months, it's a absolute miracle! If finish within 2 weeks, that when Adidas quote come to life, "impossible is nothing"! If 1 week, it's totally impossible.

tripped.

Have you ever fall really hard?
Wishing that someone would have been there for you?
Yes, i did.
People around me will tell me to get back on my feet.
"Don't let the past hold you back".
Of course,
it is easier to say it than to do it.
All of us are well-aware of it too.
But,
have you noticed that sometimes,
tripping wasn't the worst part?
It is when the one who you wished would to be there,
to support you,
to care for you,
to comfort you,
is never there.
You let me pick up the pieces on my own.
I wonder why.
Getting back on my feet would not be so difficult,
if someone i care would be there for me.
I need a shoulder to cry on when i tripped,
Not another lecture on "life".
I need someone to listen when i did something wrong,
Not another lecture on "I told you".
I need guidance when i'm lost in life,
Not another lecture on "how to read a compass".
If only you spend some time to understand,
what i want,
what i need,
what i wish.
You'll realise,
the best way,
is to pick up the pieces TOGETHER with me.

moments shared..

Day passed by,
Slowly.
Time passed by,
Deadly.
Each time before i sleep,
It's you i think of every night.
Wake up in the morning,
Your face appears in my mind,
Staring up into the sky,
Seeing stars shining brightly,
Thinking of the moments,
We had,
Shared,
Spent.
These memories,
Treasured in my heart,
For now,
Tomorrow,
And for eternity.
Walking passed the street,
We once taken,
Memories of us together started to haunt me,
There are things we can't change,
No matter how hard we try.
At last i realise,
Only by trusting each other we can survive each day.
The person i've trusted,
Is the one i truly care and concern for.
Are you the one i can rely on?
Are you the one that i could put all my trust on?
Would you turn up if i need someone to be there for me?
Or shall i ask,
Will you lend out a helping hand?
Or a crying shoulder when i need one?
These questions,
I shall know,
When the time has come,
Without you,
My heart would not be complete,
Whenever you are far from me,
It feels like there's a missing puzzle in my heart.
You are the one i can't afford to lose,
It's simply because,
You, are my everything.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S. for L.I.F.E.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S,

we had travelled so far,

and we managed to overcome all the hard times.

No matter how difficult it was,

you are there for me.

Without you,

my world would be upside down,

BUT,

life is like a roller-coaster,

full of ups and downs.

Appreciate today,

for we would not know what will happen tomorrow.

Either you,

or me,

or even both of us,

will not be here.

So, live your life to the fullest and

live your life for others,

as it will be a life worthwhile for you.

F.R.I.E.N.D.S,

I believe we had been searching for an everlasting friendship,

a trustworthy friend,

someone we can rely on,

someone that truly care for us.

Though it is hard,

but believe me.

When the day has come,

we will find our true and sincere friendship.

And once we have found one,

that will be a MIRACLE,

That happens,

ONCE IN ETERNITY!
