kari sardin sempoi

what do you cook when you don't have a lot of things in the pantry???

entah kenapa, today, i wanted to eat curry. and since there's no chicken or meat in the freezer, i decided to make kari sardin!

so uols, here is the recipe for kari sardin sempoi. memang sempoi cos it only takes less than half an hour to siap!

1 labu bawang besar

5 cili kering

2 sudu besar serbuk kari

1 tin kecik sardin in tomato sauce

garam secukup rasa

tomato sauce secukup rasa (sayang nak bukak my asam jawa)

1. blend cili kering and bawang besar. (cili kering tu kena rendam dalam air panas dulu sampai kembang)

2. tumis bawang and cili kering yg dah blend

3. bila nampak cili tu dah masak, masukkan serbuk kari. (i actually mixed the serbuk kari with water to make a paste)

4. pastu tunggu pecah minyak and masukkan the sardin without the sauce

5. letak garam

6. put tomato sauce until mencapai rasa masam yg dikehendaki. actually letak fresh tomatoes lagi best but i didnt have any.

7. let it simmer for a while, and walaahh... siap!!!

oleh sebab namanya kari sardin sempoi, tuan punye tak kuasa nak hidang atas pinggan and hias bagai. i am just keeping it real, ok!

*matila nak jugak justify kan*

senang kan??

you can have it with rice or, like me, have it with mee so instantly jadi mee kari!!!

tapi rasanya malam nanti, i will fry some papadom and makan dengan nasi. if i only i hade eggplants, i would definitely masak sambal terung. yums!!!

oh..if uols ada telur (and by that i mean telur ayam), u can make half boiled egg for breakfast, and letak kari sardin ni and kicap sikit and eat it with toasts and butter. yumss!!!

i plan kalau ada leftover esok pagi, nak makan dengan roti prata. :)

have you ever?

have you ever felt that your brains are sooooooooooooooooo super tired that all you want to do is golek-golek atas katil sambil tengok mindless tv shows?

have you ever felt like you have worked so hard for something, and deserve a good break but you cannot because you have a lot of other things waiting for you?

i tell you, November is not a good month for me. Its one deadline after another and I am suffocating. I am so tired of looking up for journal articles on the internet, cari buku kat library, do a whole lot of reading and then tulis. haih.

lepastu, i actually really want to continue writing my thesis, but tak sempat-sempat lagi because of all this other work. i really cannot wait for November to be over!!!!

ok,now back to Victor Turner's article.

booked!!

Yeay, I have settled all the bookings for my UK trip. *lompat lompat*.

dah book flight, train tix, tix to london, accomodation. yeay!! so far, everything is within my budget. the most expensive, is of course accomodation in london, tapi lantaklah labu. tu pon dah ok dah sbenarnye. (ucapan terima kasih buat dzul sbb tolong bookkan accom for me in London and ayang kerana sudi bagi mak ''balik kampung' ke rumah uols!)

Anyway uols, this wiill actually be my first time jadi tourist sensorang nanti di kota london tu!! hmm....i hope the transportation services are as efficient as the ones in wien. i am not that worried because everybody speaks english, so that would not be too hard. cuma nanti nak cari2 tempat makan dan etc. bestnya!! hmm..where can i get free maps??

first day sampai, plannye nak ronda2 sambil mencari tempat tido mak ittew. hari kedua, nak usha tempat2 utk diterjah pada boxing day. boxing day of course will see me boxing the day away. and probably even the next day? i dont know. and then nak fenfeeling tourist juger. tengoklah cemana.

i hope everything would be smooth sailing.

p/s: sesapa yg duduk di london or penah jenjalan ke sana, bagila ai tips places to go, see, eat!!! thanks!!

p.ps: public transportation jalan tak on xmas day??

membuat presentation

haih, sekarang sedang bertungkus lumus membaca untuk bersedia bagi presentation selasa ni. banyak benda nak kena baca.

but you know what? i have decided to work smart. since my presentation would only be for 30 minutes, i obviously cannot masukkan every thing that i read, right? so, i decided not to read everything, and just buat my powerpoints based on 3 articles. aci tak??

*update*

finished preparing the ppt slides for my presentation and also my zussamendfassend for this wednesday's class. so can concentrate on writing my answers for take home test mulai pagi ini! *yeay*

p/s: despite the fact that i would still have to do some work on my xmas break, i cannot wait for it! wohoooo...

yakin boleh

masa-masa gentar mengejar deadline (yes..its tarikh ajal, hence the word deadline...dateline refers to the date kat papers tuh), teringat plak masa keje kat soratkhabar.

you know, i sometime have to churn as much as 15 (sometimes more) stories per week and our deadline was ussually on wednesday/thursday. Selagi belom saat-saat akhir, selagi tu laaa sempat nak pergi long lunches, manicure, basuh rambut, shopping dan buat perkara-perkara yang tiada langsung kaitan dgn sotry tu. and then, hari rabu tu, tiba2 idea dtg mencurah-curah gittew!!!

i tell you, procastinating is EVIL. tapi i keep on doing that. for instance, i just printed out some articles that i must read in order to prepare for my presentation, tapi, lepas dah print tu, surf internet la, apa la.. haih.

but maybe, just maybe, i work better under pressure?? *matila nak justify*

progress

ok. i am done with question no 2 of my take home test. i was trying to tackle question no 1 tapi suddenly realized that i have a presentation due on Nov 2nd and so, will work on that first. i am giving myself 3 days to prepare for the presentation. Kalau boleh, nak habiskan before Saturday. Kalau siap before Saturday, I will reward myself with a trip to the outlet!! heh heh. *matila alasan!

lepas siap presentation, nak siapkan my weekly summary thingy. and then, work on my exam again!

i hope i can do it, insyaAllah.

ketagih

i heart derek morgan criminal minds.

yes, keje menimbun, tapi saya masih tak sedar diri and keep on watching CM.

Sila timbul kesedaran sikit wahai diri sendiri!

tsk.
