browsing the net for recipes whilst hungry

i have been doing this for the last 4 hours (okay i did my laundry too in between so it's not that long) and i was thinking, if i am ever going to get married, i would have to learn how to cook eventually. so i saved some for future references. but the problem with these recipes, however awesome they might be, are that they cater to western people mostly as the ingredients are really hard to find here in Kuching (probably) let alone Miri. or maybe i just don't know where to look. Hmm.
anyways, i have heard of improvising (trust me i do it a lot) but there were just so many recipes to substitute ingredients with that i gave up doing it. i am also not brave enough to do my own food experimenting. so i thought again, if i was married, of course i'll marry a Malaysian guy, which most probably wont have appetite for western recipes. i had a Homer Simpson moment of D'oh! when i realized that. so i search for Malaysian recipes and so far found a few satisfying enough such as Grandma's Malaysian Meatball Curry and Cheese Baked Rice (okay the latter is not really Malaysian but it has rice in it!), Nasi Lemak with Crispy Rice (i mean come on, who doesn't like a good nasi lemak?) and i think i better start looking for mee jawa recipes as well. i want my kids to say that my cooking is better than what anyone can offer. ngee. i know, tuaija la sangat. haha! i have all these wonderful recipes and still the reality remains: I'm eating Maggi for dinner. i wish they let us cook here. at least we'll develop our cooking skills for the future.
speaking of here, i have collected 5 assignments if possible to be done while on Christmas break which starts on Saturday. two article summaries, one Islamic warrior assignment, one group website comparison, one individual website comparison. i am still in the clouds for now. i am still fooling around so i better go and make some research. tomorrow maybe. heh.
by the way, i am coming back home for the break and i already have a list of things to buy and do once i'm home. i am really excited but at the same time i just know that I'm going to be crying on the flight back here and my cough is getting really out of control. ugh. and i'm getting kind of hungry so i better get off so bye!
p/s: if you don't have anything nice to say, shut your mouth. you don't know the real situation. try putting yourself in her shoes. i bet you would do an even worse job, since you don't usually log onto your fb a lot. *teraseke* i say, if you really want to complain, think of other things you can be thankful for. thanks.

The Most Awesomest Dream Ever!

03122011

Every time I think of this it makes me smile!! I had the best, most awesome dream yesterday! :D but I was kind of frustrated that my mind reached consciousness too early. I tried sleeping again but no continual from the dream. Haihhh. So anyway. This dream was kind of a pickup from the other dream I had. See I just smiled again thinking of this.  Okay. 

So I dreamt that Dewan Suarah in Miri had this exhibition of Twilight Saga. There was this huge tree with lighting decorations just like in the movie with Edward lookalikes on it. Then, it had lots of booth around it and there were a lot of people around. The previous dream I just pass by. Last night in that dream, I went there with my family. So we dropped off at one end of the exhibition and looked around at the booths selling Halloween-like stuff. Most of the booths were almost closing because it was the last day anyway but we kept on walking. And then my super cute cousin, Bella ran off in a direction towards this booth to meet Edward and Jacob. I chased after her and saw that the line was super long! I thought to myself “wow, these people would line up for Edward and Jacob look-alikes? Stupid.” I searched again for Bella, but she was nowhere to be found. Then I looked again at the line and now the line had vanished, like everyone had done seeing Jacob and Edward.  I thought again “well, if I couldn’t meet the real Jacob and Edward, meeting the lookalikes would do.” But I had this feeling of maybe Taylor and Robert is really here. So I got in the booth and saw a production crew with equipments and everything. They were like, “yep2  go ahead inside to meet them.” So I stepped into this room with a TV set, a sofa, a director (I assume) and another person beside her. She told me to sit down and watch the TV so I did. The TV showed documentary of the Twilight Saga from the beginning to end and I just watched and watched. The room was like 3D, I could feel if a character was pinching my feet or if someone was walking around and the floors shook. It was really cool. 

In one Bella and Jacob scene that did not exist at all in any of the movies, the floors shook as if Jacob’s walking in to the TV room. Beside the tv was a door, and then the doors burst open and Jacob (Taylor Lautner) walked in wearing singlet (I don’t know what it is called in proper English) and army pants and this mic headset that was yellow and pink xD and he was reading the lines from the scene and looking straight at me. I kind of figured that I would meet the real Jacob and Edward a few moments ago so I faked a surprise “ohmygosh!” and then stood up and read Bella’s lines and acted with Taylor for a few minutes. One line I remembered was “Eww” referring to Bella’s repulsiveness towards the idea of dating Edward. I know, weird but who cares because I actually touched Taylor Lautner and stood really close with him! (in the dream, well it felt actual to me. :P don’t hate!) *scream!* and then the scene ended and he pulled away saying “You are amazing. Everyone was stunned but you just went ahead and acted the scene out with me. You are really talented.” I just blushed and saw that the two other people in the room was nodding in agreement. Then Taylor turned to exit but I said “Don’t go.” Haha! Then he looked back at me and said “I have…” I had a feeling he was going to say “another scene coming up so don’t worry I’ll be back” but he looked at the director once and then continued “…to go.” I guess the director told him not to spoil the show. Haha. So I sat back down and waited for the next scene but my mind was on Taylor all the time and I couldn’t concentrate on the tv. Not long after that my incredible mind woke up. Grrr. Spoiler! So I tried sleeping again and remembering any scene that might make him come out that door again but no use. I slept about two extra hours without result. I didn’t even see Edward. Haihhh. This proves my obsession with Jacob and Taylor Lautner. *melts* awwww that was a very good dream. I can’t stop smiling every time I think about it. I just want to tell the whole world! ahahaha~ okay so I have to stop because I have nothing else to write so bye!

P/s: if anyone related to or who knows Taylor Daniel Lautner is reading this right now, know that I am really a big fan of Taylor Lautner and I hail all the way from Malaysia baby! :D

Until next post, love, Nina

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

and the title says it all. welcome to another boring post of mine about the marvelous wizarding world of harry potter. and no i did not go there. just sayin about the place.

so lets start eh. the videos i saw about the place were incredible. people getting their wand at Ollivanders', the Honeydukes sweet shop, the grand opening, Hogsmeade, the Forbidden Journey, the Butterbeer at Three Broomsticks, the Hogwarts Express. there is just so much to see. of course being the nerd i am i read the comments below the videos and found out that many people complained about the pricing. they said it was very pricey. i wonder.

anyway, i would love to go to this place so much because i am also a potterhead besides being a twihard. i love books, what can i say? :P okay so google images is not working with me so you know how to google it right? and here's the website to it (i bet you, you will have fun):
http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/

i wanted to tell you about how i came across the very sad video of the end of Harry Potter series. i watched the ending of the Deathly Hallows part 2 and cried. (yes, i cried, so?) so i wondered if many of the more loyal fans cried as well or did they breakdown or something so i researched on the internet, but found this theme park instead and one of the links lead me to youtube videos of their opening and such, and all those videos lead to this sad video. the title of the video is 'Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home' and consisted of the last movie premiere of Harry Potter with Daniel Radcliffe's, JK Rowling's, Emma Watson's and Rupert Grint's speech compiled together, overlapping with this very sad song as background and flashbacks of their 10 years doing the film. the song consisted of these words: "I'm coming home, to breath again, to start again..." which made me bawl my eyes out as i realised that the adventures i had been on along with millions more were amazing! Harry Potter was definitely a league of its own and if i had children i'd make them read it because it's that good. haha. :)

Potterhead or not, everyone will be fascinated by their stories. I love Harry Potter (and Ron Weasley!), always have and always will. :) Potterhead (or Weasleyhead) forever!
p/s: yes, i am into Ron Weasley more. but who could blame me, he's so cute! Bloody hell! xoxoxo

So I forgot what I was about to type because I read everything above and thought: wow, I can never outwrite myself. :D anyhooo during that day when we had our test for MGT 162, I came down late so I used the middle staircase to go down. Ika and Ju were already waiting so I was just going down when suddenly Bam! Someone from the 4^th floor (iffa n nora’s floor) came out to go down as well. Then she started having this chat with me. It goes like this:

Girl: Hey, got class? (I was wearing proper attire.)

Me: Uhh…no. I’ve got…uhh…umm…test. (I was taken aback cuz she actually talked to me.  And I was in a rush too so I had this ‘why is she talking to me now?!’ reaction.)

Girl: Oh. Where are you from?

Me: Miri. You?

Girl: Me too. Where did you live? (She shook my hand. Like what?? Is it necessary?? )

Me: Umm, Bumiko. Near Hilltop. You?

Girl: Oh. I’m from Piasau. Where did you go to school?

Me: Umm, St Co. St Columba.

Girl: Oh! Did you know Afiq? Afiq Bazli?

Me: (heart thumping really fast) Yeah. Yeah I knew him. Why?

Girl: He was a friend of mine. I heard he had a girlfriend before, but now he doesn’t anymore… (blablabla how did she know this stuff?! My mind was already spinning.)

Me: Oh. Really. Huh. (Face: indifferent; Heart, mind and soul: GAHHHHHHHHH! WHAAAAAAAAAT?!)

Girl: Well, see you around. Bye. (Or did she say good luck? I don’t remember anything after that.)

Me: (stumped.)

So you see, of all the people on that fourth floor, does it have to be her who walked with me downstairs? Of all the people in Miri, why does she have to be the one who I meet in UiTM, in hostel? Of all the people in St Co, did she have to ask about HIM? I had this freakishly dumb idea of “oh maybe this is a sign” moment for a while. But then I had test so I let go of the subject. And of course I told Ju and Ika. They don’t understand my situation though, so it was like I was sharing my frustration (or something like that) with a squirrel. I don’t know why I picked squirrel but I picked it okay. So what. :P and tomorrow’s 102 final exam which is pretty intimidating. So I got to go study. Bubye. J <3

p/s: I threw the papers that I wrote about him and I together into the trash! RESULT.

I have solved the mystery of the girl. Turns out, the girl who liked Afiq in tuition last year when we were together, IS THE SAME GIRL THAT I TALKED TO AT THE STAIRS! (refer above.) I knew about this when I told Iffa. She said, don’t you feel weird bout that? And I said no. then Nora said, “oh yeah, forgot to tell you. The girl who liked Afiq is here, in uitm, in this block. Met her when we were doing our laundry.” I assume Nora heard my conversation with Iffa cuz she said the girl asked the same stuff to her (“do you know Afiq Bazli?”) so I looked at Iffa and said “that’s her?! It must be! Gah!” (well I didn’t really say that. That was an exaggeration. I just said “that must be her.”) so that’s how I figured it out. I don’t think she knows me though. I really don’t know what to do about it but I did go and look for her room just now with no result (sorry Georgia Nicholson). It’s not like I want to pounce on her or anything but I just wanted to know her name and her face so I can identify her next time. *evil chuckle* haha. Just kidding. If you asked me a few months ago, I’d be all “this girl will get a taste of my fist.” Or something. But now, I don’t really feel anything. For now. I always jinx it when I say I’m over him so for now, I’m quite okay with it. I’m sure when I see him again I’d be all “GAHHHHHHH!” so for now I’m not saying I have completely forgotten him nor am I saying I am completely still 24-7 thinking about him. No sir. I’m quite ready to move out from my cocoon filled with Bazli’s leftovers. Haha. :P hope I don’t jinx this. I’m feeling less for him. That should be good. It’s about time anyway. So I got to go study. This time for real. Bye! J

p/s: I did not study after the last post. That was a total lie.

24092011

I did not really study after last post either. More of a combination like: study-movie-movie-movie-study study-study-study-study-dance-study-study-sleep. Haha~ but I managed to get through 102 though. Surprisingly enough. I did all them past year and it freakin worked. I don’t have anything to type anyway so bye!

26092011

Mgt was not that good. Forgot to finish one question. CARELESS! Sapa suroh want to finish early. You can just stand it bah. Aiyerrrr. Today spent about rm 22.60 on food. Gah! I gotta stop spending like seriously. And stop eating. Haha. Oh yeah. I just remembered that one time when Cyrus Wong said was I close with Andrea Chew cuz I speak English like her, which was with a slightly British/Australian accent. I said no. but did I really sound like that? I should get it back. I should get my own personal accent back! Even madam Mag said have I ever taken course in British English once because I had the accent. Ugh. I wish I have it back. Nowadays I’m speaking American mostly, and it’s not good because not many people understand it.  One more week then it’s off to Miri. Yeay! So tata~ wana watch movie. J
