COOKING SESSION WITH THE GIRLS

  We are so sick of outside food. So, hey, why don’t we cook for ourselves! We decided to cook during the weekends, and boy how nice it is!  Lia has her rice cooker which somehow can be used to cook anything, and we decided to borrow our friend, Akmal’s induction cooker/ metal plate stove, or whatever it is called:P.  Thanks ya!

   That day, after our aerobic session at Murni hall, we went to Mydin to buy the ingredients. Owh, I forgot to mention that we decided to cook ‘Ayam masak lemak cili api’ and ‘ sayur goreng’. We had a limited budget so we were VERY careful in choosing the ingredients, and finally, we only spent RM17! Can you believe it?! We bought such small amount of tumeric that it only costs us 55scent, ‘asam keping’ for only 18scent, and ginger for only 15scent! We even bought the chicken for only RM7…

   So, after finishing with the ingredients, we set up our cooking appliances down at the DM3 hall. It was a good thing that the weather was very nice that day.  The first step of our major cooking session was to cut all the ingredients that was needed. Sadly, there was no chopping board, and we only had two knives. So we just used whatever we had. We used our plates as the chopping board, and of course only two people can do the cutting. Lia and me were in charge of cutting, and I can still hear the sounds of the others commenting and complaining of how I hold the knife, and the state of the cut vegetables. Well, I know it may be of different sizes, but that is how I roll. This is what we call Yang’s STYLE of cooking.

  Partly, that was the only major step of the cooking…the other steps just involves us throwing everything inside the pot. At first the dish doesn’t look very nice, but after hours of mixing and tasting, thank God it turned out great!

  

THE FINAL PRODUCT

And now, its MAKAN time! Nothing tastes better than home cooked meal, or in this case, hostel cooked meal:D. Lia, Amal, Waa, and Tasha, even though we had a lot of arguments throughout the cooking session, we still had fun and our tummies are full! Thanks for the great time!

  

   

THE COLOUR FOR ME

  So here is my first post! Colours...there are so many colours in this world, red, green, purple, yellow. From what I see, colours help to give life to a painting. Whenever I draw something, it would never be completed if it has no colours. A world that is only black and white is boring and not interesting. A good example is when in horror movies, they would make the scene dark and almost pitch black. It just gives you the creeps doesn't it?
  Colours also represents a person's character. Have you ever compared someone with colours before? I know I did. I would usually compare my 'happy go lucky friends' with the colour yellow because it looks so bright and fun, and for the more serious ones, I usually would compare them with the colour blue because from my point of view, the colour represents calmness and how should I say 'coolness'.
   For me, the colour that I think best fits me is GREEN! It just not only represents my character, but it is also my favourite colour. Why do I say green fits me? The first reason is because I love nature, and green represents nature. I love how the forests are surrounded by 'greenity', if that is an actual word. It somehow cools me down whenever I see trees. Apart from the fact that trees give us oxygen, and places which have trees are usually cool, I am actually trying to say that the colour green itself makes me happy.
  Another reason is because to me, green symbolizes freedom. I am a free soul. Well, what I meant is that I love to think things for myself. I love my dream and nothing can stop me from achieving it. I love to think of new ideas and hope that others can accept them. To me, green also represents happiness and positivity. Whenever bad things happen to me, I like to think of it in a positive way. It somehow becomes a habit of mine. My dad thought me this because this way, you can always move on and be a better person. "Learn from your mistakes" he says.
  So here are the reasons why I love green so much. So, lets all GO GREEN!!

 
 

THE INTRO

Hello! Just for starters, i am not the kind of person who would write a blog. My dad has been pestering me to make a blog for ages now, but i didn't. However, look at where I am now! Since i joined this writing class in USM, we have to make a blog as our assessment. So, yay! Abah, I guess you win! Well, here is just a brief explanation on what i'll be posting in my blog:).
  In this blog, i will of course post about my interests in music, games, movies, etc. I will also post about my experiences since I started as a dental student in USM. Plus, since this is part of my English assessments, I will have to post some essays here! So I hope people will love reading my blog!
