PRACTISE EXUBERANCE :)

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~


I have not been feeling that great in my heart since 2 days ago. There's a lump deep inside and I don't know what that is. So, this morning, I started my day with a cup of Nescafe and a few pieces of biscuits. Then, I read this~ EXUBERANCE IS BEAUTY. How simple a statement but yet it is not that easy to achieve. BEAUTY. Beauty to me is not only what you see from the outside but what is more important is the beauty inside.

The book said that IT IS OKAY TO MAKE A FOOL OF OURSELVES AND LAUGH UNTIL THE TEARS RUN DOWN OUR CHEEKS. It is okay to hug and kiss your mother without a reason but I don't have my mother with me here. In fact, I was brought up in a culture where children don't kiss their mothers without a reason. My mother didn't even kissed me on my birthdays when I was young. But that should not stop me from having some fun now. So, why don't we start with singing our heart out? What's your favourite song? Sing it out loud.

Don't hold back. Holding back your exuberance makes you old before your time. And sometimes, I think it does make one sick. EXPRESS YOUR JOY OPENLY. You are free to jump, laugh, cry and be joyful. SMILE and the whole world will smile at you.

Above was Tasty Cheese bought from the COLES Supermarket. It's really tasty.

My beloved soulmate cooked the above dish for me 2 days ago. That was what I had for dinner. When I asked him for the recipe to be shared with my darling blog readers, he said,"I think you should not put that recipe up yet. I want to try again and improvise it."

Okay...so you guys out there have to wait a while for the recipe, yeah?

*BIG HUGS*

You don't get to choose how you are going to die. Or when. You can only decide how you are going to live. NOW. Live a good life!

It has been a while since I last updated this humble blog of mine. I'm too busy lately. I've not been baking for a few days. Maybe, I can start baking and cooking again once I am done with the cleaning job. Wait up!

FRENCH FRIES :)

I don't really know why it's called french fries when you can have it anywhere and everywhere. Does it originate from France? Please let me know. I'm a bit blur on that part.



That is a must-know-how-to do-dish. FRESH FRIES. It is so easy. I have been doing it all by myself since I was in school. I usually buy the ones sold in the supermarket, deep fry them and sprinkle some salt on it. Grab a bottle of chilli sauce or tomato sauce. And tada...stomach filled. That's the easiest thing any student could do.
