can you smell what the rock is cooking?

Notice the new blog layout? baru tah betukar since..since i dont know when. I thin my previous layout was like 2 years ago. hehe. malas bah. nuff said.

Since the past few days, i've been cooking a lot. banar! kalau dapat tah, semua kan masak. hehe. I made buttermilk chicken, corned beef, nasi goreng, mashed potatoes (sanang pulang saja ni :p) and my FIRST soto (turned out gooood!). hehe. there's no doubt that aku dapat jadi sihat disini, if you know what i mean.

My school life has been good to me during the 1-2 weeks until the lecturers mentioned about the assignments. I almost forgot about it! I have 6 modules for this semester and i have 5 assignments to do for this semester. banyak ahh..not sure if that's normal. and so far aku inda suka satu module ni, pasal cigunya boring. that module is organisational design. i wish aku dapat tukar, tapi since atu my core module, so inda dapat lah. yatah assignmentnya pun aku keboring-an. thank goodness group work, dapat tanya lah. hehehe. i know you might think that i rant too much, so bear with me :p

oh yeaa..i took pictures from yesterday. my first soto kali ahh :p

my housemate, si fizah and qidah also helped goreng the meatballs and nuggets. credits to them ;p

Anyway, its halloween tomorrow! and my cousin, amal bawa this "ghost walk" thingy organised by the university. Its like taking a walk around the city (kali) and they will tell stories during year 1800s. catu lah kali..im not sure. It costs 6 pounds pulang. tapi macam interesting.

or is it? hehe. apakan ? caio!

hola

im a now officially one of the brunei bradford student society member. Masa tu pulang dah.. but i was sooooo lazy kan update. i think that i have lost my blogging ability. esehhh..

Anyway.. UPDATES? yea..i have a house here at grantham place along with other 4 bruneians. siuk lah. and last night baru tah first night i slept at my room. haha. since last week? well..kami start moved in sini last saturday kali. bukan yesterday. then i have this room arah ground floor. lawaaaaa..i like the colour, macam soft. buuttt..i didnt feel right. entah ehh..aku pun inda tau. Then, ada this room arah 1st floor which meant to be someone's room. Ehh..short story. aku pindah arah that small room lah. hehe. Its like twice as small as the original room. tapi aku suka.. Yatah baru ku tidur in this room last night and i feeeellll gooooood~ hehe. Its still messy..but give me less than a month, it'll be lawaa. trust me! :p

Food here..nyamannnnnnnn!! Hari tu lagi tah..makan fast food saja 3 days in a row. Seriouslyyy..NOT HEALTHY!!! tapi nyaman bah. arah springs, aku suka pizza nya. Arah raja's, aku suka chicken and fries :p And yea...banyak halal sini, thus banyak makan. That was like before our kitchen belum ber-clean. now, makan dirumah saja. saving!!!! and oooh yea...banyak lingka sini. macam everwhere bah.. hehe

Soo..what to do today huh? me and few of my housemates kan jalan ke city (bradford city lah). Im gonna survey wardrobe for my room. just a simple one, arah argos saja. then kan bali other things for our kitchen. Nanti lagi cerita..

caio!

To be seen or not to be seen?

My prediction was wrong

And the result is NOT to be seen..

Good then, i have more time to do some unfinished business. And visit the dentist which was supposed to be this morning. But since they can only serve the adult patients before 9:30am, and i came about 20mins late, so inda tia jadi.

SOooo...Raya will be on thursday! which is a bit late compared to Malaysia and other countries. Im also kinda not fully prepared for the raya..Macam alum lagi fully in raya mode, masih 50-50. hehe. We still have 1 more day for puasa-ing. and tonight's the last tarawih night. I didnt join them for tarawih, cos im full! Just had our sungkai at Sri Patik Brasserie. I like the interior layout, lawa jua. Peaceful, maybe cos banyak trees. hehe. And it was full! I called at the last hour. Nasib baik ada orang cancelled. I was lucky! hehe. Ramai jua familiar faces disana, which is my colleagues during my attachment at DST. The food was okay.. Banyak kinda eastern style food, which my dad suka berabis. Tapi kanyang jua lah.. and its only $15. Since my dad ada this card, so we get 10% off lah.

Last saturday, i finally had sungkai jua at i-Lotus. and yep, it was GOOD!!! cos ada kambing..haha. Inda pandai abis ni kambing nya ni :P I like the kambing, beancurd(Nyaman!!) and the sausages( Berabis-ly nyaman!!!) Reminds me of charcoal.. Anyhoo, I ate a lot lah disana. Highly recommended! hehe. And last thursday jua, ada sungkai outing with the gang at Deli Nutreesh. It was my first time.. and i would give 6-7 out of 10. Dunno why..maybe cos its too crowded and sampit. But the food's nice lah, especially the grilled one.

So thats kira my food review part 2 lah. hehe.

Before that, happy advanced raya!

Food review

It was supposed to be last week's post, since i was that malas..hehe :p Well..not much restaurants review to talk about, cos i only went to 3 restaurants so far! Not including makan-makan at relative's house (Biasa lah tu..time puasa).

Moving on..

SO FAR i went to Nyonya (Yayasan and serusop branch) and Andaman restaurant.

Nyonya (Yayasan) - My least favourite. Altho its murah (around $7 ish), but all i can say is that the food macam arah orang kawin. Thats my opinion lah.. They have daging, ayam, sayur, cucur, rojak, kuih and this mee soup ( i cant remember wats it called). I didnt really eat that much, cos the cucur was already cold, inda hot! hehe. and i dont eat rojak. But i like that mee soup, nyaman.

Nyonya (Serusop) - Ahh..This one's better than yayasan. The price is different a bit, its $12.80. They have Dim sum, rojak, ABC, Salad! (ulam bah :p), BUTTERMILK CHICKEN!, fish, daging and all those main course lah. I had 2 rounds of dim sum and buttermilk chix. saya suke!! hehe

Andaman restaurant - This one's my favourite so far, cos dorang ada kambing masak merah ( Just guessing). The other food were the common main course dishes (like ayam, sayur, daging), ada ambuyat, cucur, bubur kacang, kuih and more. The best part was kambing lah, cos the meat was tender and super nyaman! hehe. I had 3 rounds kali ah makan kambing saja ( without the rice lah).

So that was it! Sikit pulang, but im gonna try out Deli Nutreesh with the gang this thursday. (after taking loads of voting, finally arah Deli Nutreesh. hehe)

p/s: i just realised that i used too many brackets. haha :P

Nasib baik

You might be wondering why'd i put the title as "nasib baik". No..no..its not the song from jason n colbie, lucky. hehe. I was doin my laundry tadi. I put this one pile of my bajus in baldi, and to the washing machine. Then when i went to my room, i found that my pendrive hilang. I went panicked and thought that it might be in the WASHING MACHINE!! Masa ku check, ada!! I left it running for about 1 min. I was like..takut that it might get rosak. So i'd jamur it for a while. Who knows..it might be baik. hehe. I tested it, and it works!!! Yay! Lucky me..! =p

Anyways, i need to update myself. So yea..last week, i was busy doin my last marketing assignment and my last MA test! Yea!! But i reckon that i'll be busy too this weekend and next week, which is the LAST week before our Hari Raya Holiday!!! SO im left with~~

HRM test- 22nd sept
BPC assignment due- 23rd sept
BIS test- 25th sept

I went to Temburong last saturday. FYI, i've been to miri and limbang ( Not KL la) for the past 2 weeks. Setiap minggu..And next week im goin to KK. Yeaa..riggghhhttt!! Sudah tah busy kan test apa. hehe. Back to the story.. Its been a year+ since my last visit to temburong. I started my journey dlm 1 ish pm. Temburong is fine, mcm biasa ja, sunyi. Got myself some cendol temburong, wajid temburong and air kausar, for sungkai dlm kereta. Mcm nada saja bejual d stadium, jauh jauh ke temburong. hehe. I also bought some dry food at limbang, alang alang bah.

And here's some pics during the journey..

The new limbang immigration masa kan ke temburong

The ferry arah temburong

Us three saja

Kan balik ke limbang

On the way balik Brunei

Safely arrived in Brunei around 10mins to 6pm. Actually, the road trip was supposed to be on 17th with mariatul n wani. But since, we have a busy schedule. I went there early lah with my girls, dayah n cmah. Anndd..our plan that day was to have our sungkai at Villa Mauri, tapi akhir sudahhh..So we went andaman restaurant ja. Siasiapun~~ hehe. Nanti ja ku buat food review =p

Anndd ohhh~~ speaking of food! Yesterday i made myself a buttermilk fettucini for the first time. hehe. I was craving for butter milk. So tarus lah google'd the recipe for it. Tapi since nada chicken arah freezer, i modified it a bit. Instead of using chicken, i used sausages. And add with the fettucini. The outcome? nyamannnnn!!! Not bad for first try..=p I didnt get to take a photo of the food, cos it was so tempting and nyaman.. hehe.

Okay, enuf with the food already!! puasa~~ caio!

p/s: Next post will be on food review. See..Just cant get enuf of it!
