Strawberry Tiramisu ♥

Ingredients

400 (1 punnet) strawberries

4 tablespoons caster sugar, divided

250g mascarpone cheese

120ml (4 fl oz) whipping cream

2 tablespoons coffee-flavoured liqueur

18 lady finger biscuits or sponge fingers

80ml (5 ½ tablespoons) chilled espresso

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting (but i Forgot this step =____= )

Preparation method

1.		Cut off the tops of the strawberries and slice the berries. Reserve 2 whole berries for the garnish.
2.		In a blender, place a third of the sliced berries and 1 tablespoon of sugar; blend to puree and set aside. Alternatively, you can skip using a blender, and just use a steel spoon to press and mince the strawberry into creamy strawberry paste/ puree.
3.		In a medium bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, half of the cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar and liqueur; beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes.
.		Place 6 ladyfingers onto a serving plate, brush each with the cold espresso. Spread 1/2 the cheese mixture over the ladyfingers, and layer with half of the sliced strawberries.
5.		Repeat with the next 6 ladyfingers, espresso, remaining cheese mixture and sliced strawberries; top with remaining 6 lady fingers. ( the lady fingers not enough FML =_____=")
6.		In a small bowl combine remaining cream with 2 tablespoons of sugar; beat with electric mixer on medium-high until just whipped, approx 2 minutes. Spread whipped cream evenly over top layer of ladyfingers. Dust cocoa over whipped cream, garnish with 2 reserved strawberries.
7.		Pour strawberry puree onto two serving plates. Cut tiramisu in half, place onto puree. Or you can opt for pouring the puree on the cake, on top of the top creamy layer, that is what I did. :) Put in the fridge for 2 hours and it is ready to be served!

So

from now on i will sleep before 1 am. but now 12.12 am im going to sleep already! good night!

Peace within me, my heart and myself

I want to do something for you, something that will make you happier

Luckily, my name is already buried within your heart

I beg time to take advantage of when you're not paying attention

And gently bring this seed to become fruit

But, I think she really is a woman who suits you better

I'm not gentle, graceful, mature, or sensible enough

If I can back off to the position of "good friends"

Then it won't have to be so difficult for you like this.

---

I really really love you, so I'm willing to bear letting you

Fly towards a place of more happiness

I really really love you, I can only let you

Have love, before I'm at peace

Seeing her walk towards you, that frame is so beautiful

If I do cry, it's only because I'm joyful

On this world, two people, it's not easy for them to meet

If I can't be your lover, I'll still appreciate this

---

I really really love you, so I'm willing to not hinder you

From flying towards a place of more happiness

I really really love you, I can only let you

Have love, before I'm at peace

I really really love you, so I'm willing to not hinder you

From flying towards a place of happiness

I really really love you, I can only let you

Have love, before I'm at peace.

I am glad that I will always hold a special place in your heart, as you said. For that, I am truly glad. I thank Lord for knowing you, in my life and the happy moments that we had together. You will always have my blessings

:)

Awakened.

Went to gym for almost two hours, like yesterday, I slow walked on the threadmill for 50 minutes and the remaining 10 minutes I will run. This is because one of my friend who is studying Bio-med Science, he told me it is better to walk as form of exercise, cos' the body will burn the fat first. If you run as a starting of exercise, calories or energy,will be used and burnt first. No wonder, all these while, people say if you want to have effect on fat burning, it will only takes effect after 30 minutes exercising. So ya, I choose to burn my fat first and then I will run after that. I will reveal if it really works.

I am actually on a one month diet Herbalife plan introduced by my cousin. During my trip to Miri, she measured my weight, height and everything, and she asked me to hold a machine which further measures the content of my body cholesterol, fat et cetera. I was so shocked and embarrassed that my body age is 35! I am 22 years old ! and my body is 13 years elder than it at least should be. My goodness. But in fact I should not be surprised by that since I don't take healthy and balanced diet, I don 't exercise on regular basis, and I sleep very late at night, of which I think is the worst of all. I have came across many real life friend's good and effective experience using Herbalife, including my cousins as well. It can be described as meal replacement form of keeping body fit, cos the best way or procedure is taking the milkshake (there are several flavours to choose from-I ve got Vanilla, Chocolate and Strawberry *my fav) for breakfast and dinner. Lunch is any normal balanced-diet meal.

I actually started taking it in Kuching but before coming back to Newcastle, my mum and friends keep tempting me with nice foods and outings, (in other words, I CANNOT TAHAN pfft=_=) so I stopped taking until yesterday!

So yeah, if it really works on me, plus my regular visits to gym, I hope I will, I will discipline myself, then I promise I will post photos that will shock you to death. You will have response like "WTF! I know you are fat, but I never thought you are THIS FAT " Hmm no offence to fat people, but I am one of you , even though you might perceive me as "eh you're still okay la, look at us ?how? " But hey, we should do something about it okay, Rather than complaining and keep eating unhealthily. Apart from that, I will reveal my weight as well. Before and after. So wish me best luck.

.....................................................................................................................................................................

Today I received another email from uni, informing me about my attendance ( or to be exact, non-attendance) in classes and particularly, seminars. I skipped to much seminars , not to mention classes. I don 't even bother waking up for classses, ya, it is really that terrible. I am a terrible person.

It really strike me. I mean, I always feel bad when I cannot answer questions thrown by the lecturer, be it during lectures or seminars. But I never do anything about it. I 've been here for roughly 4 or 5 months. Honestly speaking, I am helpless. Terribly helpless. HORRIBLE PROCRASTINATOR if you'd like me to describe myself.

My mum spend so much effort, financially wise and emotionally, she puts so much hope in me. Another two and a half months to go, I don't want to disappoint her. I am really afraid. Ever since I done my A Level, I never really put my 50 % in studies, not to mention 100% (Yes, I don't give a damn! ) hmm. that is really really bad. But today, 06-02-2011. I told myself, you have to change, you still have the time and chances to make a difference.

So I have to start from my worst major problem, bad habit. TIME MANAGEMENT. I have to stop onlining until wee hours. I have to stop sleeping until afternoon time. I have to change my lifestyle. I have to be more discipline. I will go to the gym everyday unless I am sick cos' exercising really helps, making both our body refreshed and 'otak cergas' :p. Then I will go to the library to do my own notes. I have to make this works. Not by saying and not doing it. But to put it into real practice.

So, ya. I hope , I mean, I must have the strong will. On top of that, I want to live a proper church life, since Sis Cindy and Bro Stulos leaved for Perth, I barely go for meetings anymore. I will go to attend evening mass with Fide. When I can improve on my time management and all that, I hope I can attend the one in morning. Wake up early for Lord. Oh Lord, I love thee. And I am sorry for ignoring your calls all these while.

memories. forgotten memories.

when they ask, where is your family? why you 're not celebrating your CNY with em? no. it is the thought of you not buying new clothes, not eating the proper nice food and absence of love that kills me from within.

it has been five years. how do you even manage to pull through this five years? I cant and I will never understand. I miss you so much I feel so pain and I bet you feel ten thousands hundred thousands worse than me for the fact you're alone. Throughout all these shits.

I don 't know. Sometimes I cannot gather all my courage just to call you. Ya. not even calling you. What I could do is texting you, and I never tell you how happy I am each time I receive your text reply. I know she misses you too. She cries, she cries. I heard it when I sleep at night. I felt my other side of bed shook a bit I know she is crying and trying to not let me know. It will trigger me to cry too. There was once both of us cry. But there was only once or twice we actually voice this out to one another.

I'm angry. I'm angry at people who scold their parents or those who take their family for granted. For they do not know, and they won't know until they lose it.

She asked me to have faith. She has faith. We shall soon be one again. Please stay healthy. That is the only thing I could ask from you. Let me take good care of you and Her.

I ♥ .........

ya, hairbands.
























attempts to imitate the rabbit look. PHAILED.

back then, I remember laughing at my sis for being ah lian cos she is so in love with hairbands. so Evelyn the Ah Lian, what say you?

“For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

Trip To Manchester

Last Saturday, Malaysian Society organized this trip to Manchester so I went with Timaomao. It costs us 15 pound per person.

This is our bus. So funny before this we actually went forward to a bus , finding that it is not our bus=________=

Some scenery on the way.

I bought this when the we stopped at somewhere in York. Burger King was not open yet so I ate this and cashew nuts. omgee dont gimme pimples

And we finally reached Manchester after 3 and a half hour.



The difference between Manchester and Newcastle is there is a lot tall, modern buildings here! The surface of the lake was frozen though. It was -1 celcius=________="

And we first visited the Imperial War Museum and Lowry Outlet Mall.

AND THEN~ *tadaadaa drum rolls* The Old Trafford !!!!

This is the souvenir shop.


And...the stadium!!Although Im not really into football, but Im really impressed by the field. Love it so so so much!!



The guy who toured us, I like him so much. So nice, friendly and humorous!



Okay. Let me explain why I look very annoyed here. There is this bunch of kids very naughty and they were occupying the seats where Timaomao and I wanted to take photo. It is the seats of the home players and Ferguson!


So damn sui lo.

=/ heh

This is Vani, our friend : )


And last stop, the Trafford Centre. This building is just part of it and why John Lewis so so so big here!?!

There are a lot a lot of shops inside and I burnt a hole in my purse, buying a skirt and a top from H & M there =X

AND I didnt wake up for the Lamb Rice. FML
