After a month of 1st semester 2010/2011~

July 2010~ I felt I'm quite lucky during the month of July because all of the things that I organized run smoothly & quite happy about it. I think the quote that I use now is quite useful to me. I think I'm getting active in co-curriculum in my university. I became the person-in-charged for 3 programs, 2 were official & 1 was unofficial. For the new civil engineering gathering, I saw a lot of new faces. It's remind me back when I was on 1st year, a naive & blur new student attended the welcoming session. Haha~ The response from the new students were overwhelming good. After the day of the gathering which on last 24th July Saturday morning. When I sat on my chair & browsed the internet in the hostel, suddenly I felt my butt shake for a few seconds. I thought it was my muscle reflection but it's not. It was an earthquake. I know it through the online news. It was from Sumatera, Indonesia. Wow.. Malaysia is going to have an earthquake soon. During the evening time, went to KLCC to watched the last performance from MPO before the season ends. The last performance was 'The Damnation Faust'. It was my second time to watch a concert in the MPO's Hall. The performance was quite good although the middle part was little bit boring. But in the end, the ending was superb. I don't know my classmates were enjoy with the performance or not but I will go for it again in the future. Yesterday, I was handling a site visit to Beranang, Selangor. Visit an Eco Green House. I was very happy because there is no problem during the trip. All goes well. Phew~ This was my last program that I need to handle for the term 2009/2010. Meanwhile, I applied for a job in the Career Unit. Some of my friends asked me to think twice because the job is hard & a lot of workloads need to be done. Furthermore, I'm still considering that should I apply for the top post of the club? Some of my friends said I should go for it, but some of them asked me to slow down. Now I'm in 50 50 position. About my studies, so far so good. I think my CEGB323 lecturer is getting better. I can follow his tune of teaching. The best thing is I'm going to face my week test on next 2 weeks. 3 core subjects' tests held on that week. Cool~ I hope that my time management will works well & I have strength to do it. Just now in the afternoon, I went to university hall for my seniors' convocation. Glad that can meet them before they left the university. I can't wait for my turn to convocation. I can felt my seniors' joy when they were graduated. Their hardship for studies finally offered them a university degree. I wish them best of luck in the future. Probably I'm not going to write so much of blogs now because maybe I will be busy soon. For the end of this blog, I want to share this song with the readers. This song suits my mood for now.




Hope you enjoy your weekend!


The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorow~

1st & 2nd Week of 3rd Year 1st Semester~

Time flies fast~ After the Orientation Week, I felt myself even older when I facilitate the transfer credit students. White hairs grow more. I can sense that the 3rd year subjects are getting harder. It doesn't look like the 1st or 2nd year subjects. More new & weird things that I need to learn. During the 1st week of the semester, it was quite chaotic for me. Shifted my house twice in 1 week. First was after the Orientation Week & the second was the housemate problems. I can't stand with my previous housemates due to the fragrant smoke. & don't know how to keep the house clean. Furthermore, they bring few squatters to stay into my previous house. Luckily, I managed to shift my house. If not, I think World War 3 will begin soon. Very tired when I shifted my things from a house to another house to another house~ Why can't they give me a house permanently for my final 2 years of studies? My university Boleh! Celebrated my classmate's belated birthday in KL. Went for karaoke session. It's been 6-8 years I didn't go for karaoke. I sang like a duck~ Haha~ But it was a nice gathering among my classmates because we didn't meet for 2 months. Then I need to attend 2 meetings for 2 nights. I thought I can slow down my commitment for the club but I can't. I just received the words from the advisor that he hopes that my year batchmates will continue to lead the club & I can feel the pressure is rising. I already quit my job silently as the hostel committee member to prepare the workloads of my studies. During the 1st week of Friday, I went to SMK Subang Utama for my club's roadshow. Although the program runs well but I felt dissatisfied because it was so messy. & a lot of last minute changes. I think I'm still not a good leader yet. Finally, I can go back to my hometown after 3 weeks in my university compound. I like the word 'Home Sweet Home'~ It was so good~

Second week of the semester, still the same~ Studies are getting harder. Had my 1st Soil Mechanics laboratory. Suddenly, the lecturer want to assess my group. I was like @.@ ~ I just received the laboratory manual 15 minutes before the session starts. I still haven't read through the manual yet. I felt so blur. Some more the lecturer was so impatient & asked us to do fast. I was like want to kick his groin already. Argh~ Last Tuesday night was the Clubs & Societies Bazaar. This was my 1st time to promote my club. Honestly, I don't like to promote things. If can, I try to avoid it. Last Wednesday was quite tortured for me. After my class at 10am, I need to design a poster in the last minute & waited for the HOD to get her signature for a long long time. Until I need to skip my lunch. I was thinking why I need to design the poster? That is not my job scope. Am I too kind & helpful. Or stupid? Should I be more selfish on next time? After that need to pass up the program proposal to the office. Finished all the job at 4.30pm. Exhausted~ Lazy to go out for dinner. Bought some food from the apartment grocery shop. Yesterday, during the Soil Mechanics class, the lecturer was so kind & gave a lot of exercises for my class to do it. I was so 'Happy' with it. I need to do it in 3 days time although I don't know what he teach in the class. The war is just started. More to come from him. And just now, I received a call from my colleague. He told me that the office disapprove my program proposal due to some problem. The office changed back to the old system. They need a month instead of 10 days to pass up the proposal to them. They should inform the students before the semester starts. Wasted my money & time to print the proposal. I hate it.

Just 2 weeks, I faced a lot of obstacles. Actually, I'm quite happy with it because this is the real test for me to train myself stronger. I hope I will pass it through well for this semester.

The pain you feel today will be the strength you feel tomorow~

Happy Father's Day 2010

I would like to wish my papa, a Happy Father's Day! I hope you enjoy the gift that I gave you earlier. I can't celebrate with him today because I need to go back to my university for a service. But had a dinner with him & my family members yesterday at normal restaurant. :D

Semester Break Ends~

I just finished my bag-packing. So hard to do it. Tomorow I need to go back to my university for 1 week induction and 1 week orientation. This 2 weeks, I'm not going to enjoy the holiday like my other unimates. I'm going to sacrifice my time to guide the new students to adapt the new life in university. This will be the third time I'm going to become the facilitator again. I think I will feel bored about it. About the 3 months break, I think I rest well. Everyday wake up, eat, online, eat, online, eat, watch tv, online, then sleep. This routine is repeated again & again for the last 3 months except some days I went out for movies & a classmate's trip. Initially, I want to do some revision on some subjects that I fear most. But in the end, I gave up. Lazy to touch the notes & books. I almost online & sleep during the afternoon everyday until my mother complaint about it. I just keep quiet & still go for it because if I didn't online, I think I feel very bored. I browsed a lot of websites regards on my interest. I think it can broaden up my mind. I try to make a gathering with my old friends but in the, it does not happen because due to time constraint. So, I lazy to do it again & want to stay in the house. Luckily didn't go out much, can save some money to use it as my pocket money for the coming semester. Anyway, I gained weight. Hahaha~ I think got 3 month of pregnant. Hahaha~ I feel proud of it. :D The 5th semester is going to starts soon. I don't know what obstacles that I will going to face. Some of the seniors told me that 3rd year will be getting harder. I can see their wrinkles on their forehead when they told me this. I'm going to use full force to face it through. Next semester will be crucial for me too because the co-curriculum. I thought I don't need to think about it during the break but unfortunately, it's like a ghost haunting me. I feel so tired about it. I was thinking to quit it on next semester but some of friends said I should go on. Some asked me to quit because of studies. Now, I'm still middle of the fence. I don't know want to fall left or right. During the last 2 weeks, I managed to bake 2 cakes. It was 1 of my good experience & I will remember it for my whole life, to become a sissy guy for a moment~ haha~

Orientation is coming soon. I can't wait for the new students to come. Hehehe~ I hope I won't be station in international group. It's freaking scary~

Bye bye my last 3 months semester break~ T.T

Yummy~

After 2 weeks, I planned to make another poison cake before my semester break ends: Chilled Lemon Cheese Cake. This is my first time to make a real cheesecake. Purposely went out to buy the ingredients. The weather was so hot but I can't wait to do it & eat it. Hahaha~ I agreed with one of my coursemate @ senior, make own cheesecake is cheaper than buy a whole cheesecake from 'The Secret Recipe' but need to have time & energy to do it. As usual, I do it by myself with my mum's guidance.

These are the ingredients:
CRUMB CRUST

• 240g sweet butter biscuits or digestive biscuits, crushed.
• 120-150g melted butter.

FILLING

• 3 1/2 tbsp gelatine powder, mixed with 250ml of boiling water.
• 1/2 tbsp grated lemon rind.
• 60ml lemon juice from 2 lemon.
• 1 tin evaporated milk, well-chilled.
• 240g cream cheese.
• 180-200g castor sugar (to taste).
• 1 tsp vanilla.

First of all, I thought make a cheesecake is harder than to make a bread & cheese pudding. But I was wrong. This cheesecake is easy to do. This are the methods.

METHOD (CRUMB CRUST)

1. Combine biscuit crumble & melted butter.
2. Press onto the bottom of 9" spring form tin with removable base. Chill while preparing the filling.

METHOD (FILLING)

1. Dissolve gelatine powder in boiling water. Cool, add lemon rind & juice.
2. Whisk chilled evaporated milk till thick & double in bulk. Set aside.
3. Beat cream cheese until smooth, add caster sugar & vanilla. Beat well.
4. Fold in milk, lemon & gelatine mixture.
5. Pour into the prepared crumb-crust & chill overnight before serving.

Haiz... I need to wait for night before I can eat it.

After a night~ Tadaa~~

So Cute~~ :D

I ate it & it is so delicious! But the crumb crust got little bit soft. Next time need to crunch it well. So happy~ This is 1 of my best masterpiece I ever made~ Hehehe~ Holiday is going to end soon. I sure miss it~ T.T

G.F.P.

WARNING: This post is not suitable for those who are 18 years old & below or has the sexualism thoughts~

I read one of my friend's blog just now. Surprisingly this is the first time I know the term of 'Gay For Pay'~

I want to share it with the readers. I never heard or read it before until just now. First, I don't believe it until I watched the video recommended by my friend in the blog in Youtube. It was 'The Tyra Bank Show' video. My eyes are widened. Wow~ I'm shocked! I heard a 'straight' man (who got 3 kids + 1 kid is coming soon) is willingly to act in gay porn. How can he is a straight man & at the same time do sex with another man? How they get the feel to do it if both of them are straight? Treat the partner as a women? I don't dare to think further. @.@ In the video, I also learned that act in gay porn can earn more money than straight porn. No wonder some of the straight man are willing to do so. I'm wondering how he is going to explain to his children about this in the future when their children accidentally watch their father is a gay porn star? Probably got another version of 'Lesbian For Pay'? This is the link to watch the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQensCD7xcE

I don't know what the readers of this blog are going to comment about it. But, I just want to say is 'The World is Changing'~ I'm not encouraging homosexual acts but I'm respecting them because every human on the Earth have their own rights~

P/S: I'm a straight young man~

1st of June 2010~ First time to Baked something~

Yesterday, I read a culinary book & I found out a recipe on how to make a Bread & Cheese Pudding. I told my mom that it is easy & I wanted to do it since I'm so free during this holiday. My mom told me ok, you can do it. Hahaha~ I'm not sure she is joking or not because usually she don't allowed me to cook something fantastic food except instant noodles in the kitchen. She scared that her kitchen will become the next World War 3.

Until today morning, I was surprised that she prepared all the bakery tools for me. She asked me to accompany her to Tesco to buy some groceries, including the bakery ingredients. She told me that I need to make the pudding by myself. At last I can cook something special~ Hehehe~ I would like to share my experience to the readers. Started to make the pudding at 4.15pm.

This are the ingredients that need to bake the Bread & Cheese Pudding:

• 200g sugar
• 600ml fresh milk
• 125g butter
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 7 eggs
• 1 loaf white bread, trimmed & cut into half

Methods:

• Put sugar, fresh milk & butter into a pan & boil over low heat until butter melted. Remove from heat.

• Add in vanilla, eggs & stir well. Soak trimmed bread into the mixture for 3 minutes.

• Arrange Line a 8" round baking tin with greaseproof paper. Place a layer of bread on the bottom. Sprinkle some grated cheese onto the bread & pour in some milk mixture.

• Repeat the same way until all ingredients are used. Steam-bake the bread pudding in a pre-heated oven at 170 degree celcius for 1 1/2 hours or until cooked.

At last finished.. So happy about it. I thought is easy to bake it. But I want to take back my words. It is not easy at all. But is ok. The next thing I want to do is a real Cheese Cake~ I'm coming~ hahaha

The bread skins. I don't know how to do with it. Got any idea? Maybe use it to feed the fish in the river :D

P/S: To all of my Sarawakian friends, I would like to wish you Selamat Hari Gawai! Gaya Guru Gerai Nyamai~ :D
