A Weirdo - Misophonia?

Assalamualaikum.

Have you ever.. face.. that there is something/situation that annoys you but you just keep it inside because if you share it some people might think you are over sensitive or some kind of a weirdo? Yes I am. I have this thing...

I think that the noise of people - eating? no, chewing specifically is kinda annoying. The noise is loud, it irritate my ears - duhhh I just don't know how to describe it. It makes me feel angry. I just want to shout like "Hey, can you eat properly, QUIETLY or just stop eating because it's annoying?!" but this is just the voice inside my head. There this one day when my mood is not so good and suddenly someone is eating and the noise just *zzzzzzzzzz* *hulk mode activated*

I hate that person when he/she is making the sound but when they stop, okay it's nothing. Cool. If I ever yell to that person or throw rage (dramatic isn't it?) which I'll try to restrain myself from doing so and I'm glad I did, because I think it is way too strong, and I feel guilty. I don't hate you personally, I just hate the noise.

I can't. I just can't. 

I send a message to Iz (my friend - Iz not her true name. just a nickname) and I told her about this. Surprisingly she'd been in this situation before, for her the chewing noise is so disrupting causes her to put on earphone with high volume. Dengar lagu kuat kuat.

Have you ever feel like this? Please do.. I believe I'm not the only one. :'(

I found this on the net:

Misophonia?

So they have a name for this. Misophonia. My pain now has a name lol

I am sorry for anyone who get pissed when I ask them to eat quietly, and a big thank you *hugs* to those who truly understand my situation. I believe I can fix this, this is just some sort of a mindset. Is it?

*chewing sound* 

Sheeeh....... I just..can't. 

Sehati Sejiwa. Happy Independence Day, Malaysia.

Assalamualaikum.

One of my favorite is national day parade which will be held of course, every 31 August (heh, some Malaysians can't remember this, believe me). It starts at 7.30am but we arrived around 9.30am. We took LRT from KL Sentral (parked at Sooka - RM4 per entry for public holiday) to Masjid Jamek then walked to Dataran Merdeka. All the way to Dataran people are selling banners and some sort of trumpet I think. Some of the families are wearing Malaysian flag shirt, military uniforms and there's a girl donning national flag as her tudung scarf - quite cool. I like the atmosphere, its like being in a football match. Yan told me that it is much more merrier and awesome during actual football match. I think I would love to go for one! (added to wishlist). Packed crowds and we're stuck, didn't managed to get closer but seeing the parade from a distance is not so bad after all. 

Pictures of the day:

Arghh! The hands...

I pray that my beloved country.. continue to prosper, safe from all evil, bad attempts to ruin it. Deep inside I'm quite sad. Malaysia has been tested with so many things - MH17, MH370, worst floods, internal political issues...etc. The world is looking at us, and this is our country that we breathe in.

Right now, everywhere - people are talking about freedom of speech. To criticize. To pour your thoughts. We have the right to voice out our opinion/suggestion/critics but the way of doing it should reflect our intellectual levels and values. Extreme insults, bad words, cursing, trolls, racist statements, and some of the acts eg. stomping pictures of political figures? (what do you get from this, such a childish act) - I just can't bear all this. People please, do not sow hatred.


Happy Independence Day, Malaysia. My heart will always be with you.

Until then.

Recipe: Cheesekut Marie/Simple Tiramisu/Simple Cheese Cake

Assalamualaikum.

My first cheesekut. 

Hello there. Thank you so much to my lovely Kiera for this recipe. First time rasa cheesekut ni dekat open house beliau, terus jatuh cinta (bayangkan emoticon yang ada mata bentuk love tu) dan berazam untuk menuntut ilmu dengan beliau. So let me share this with you, sedap weh betul. Satu portion cheesekut ni aku boleh habis sorang *godzilla* let's not talk about the calories. Tehee

Ingredients:

• 500g Tatura Cream Cheese
• Susu pekat F&N (separuh tin sahaja yang digunakan takut muak. suka manis? letak la semua. )
• Satu sudu besar jus lemon
• Biskut Marie (Cappucino - this is how the tiramisu taste came up!) cap ping pong
• Susu segar dutch lady kotak kecil (lowfat/fullcream up to you)

Tatura Cream Cheese 500g RM15.05 at Jaya Grocer

How to:

1. Pukul cream cheese sampai kembang. Tak payah lama sangat, janji dah tak berketul. On the mixer guna level 1-2 pun dah ok.
2. Masukkan susu pekat F&N, pukul lagi hingga sebati.
3. Masukkan jus lemon dan sambung pukul sebati.
4. Sediakan bekas, lap kering. 
5. Ambil sekeping biskut marie, masukkan dalam plastik kuih lutsinar dan hancurkan. Serbuk biskut ni untuk ditabur atas kek last sekali.
6. Ambil biskut marie, celup sekejap (sekejap je tau!) dalam susu segar dan susun dalam bekas. Jangan malas sangat, celup sekeping, susun. Celup, susun lagi.Penuhkan lapisan biskut dan layerkan dengan cream cheese. Layerkan nipis je tapi meliputi keseluruhan biskut.
7. Ulang celup dan layer sampai habis semua biskut marie tu. Baki cheese tuang akhir sekali, tebal tebal pun takpe.
8. Taburkan serbuk biskut marie yang dah dihancurkan tadi.
9. Tutup bekas, masukkan dalam fridge tempat beku selama 12 jam.

Siap!

Masa nak makan biarkan cheesekut anda dalam suhu bilik sekejap lepastu bolehlah dipotong. Tips potong cheesekut? Rendam pisau dalam air panas, lap dengan tisu, dan baru potong kek.

Cream cheese before the beat

*mixer aku tak stable, tengah-tengah je bahagian cream dapat dipukul. Tepi-tepian tak kena so aku keluarkan dari kepala dan gerakkan mixer secara manual. Pukul satu arah je tau!

Masukkan susu pekat F&N

Dip your biscuit

Arrange it. Kalau rajin, tutup lubang lubang yang ada

Layering - Cream cheese on!

Final touch - the crumble

The Finale. Awesome

I did 5 layers in each bekas kuih raya. Managed to get 3 cakes and one small part

After 12 hours, serve!

Kek batu bata

This is the best, economy cake so far. Sedap! Try lah buat. Have fun layering. Maybe for topping boleh ganti strawberry/nuts ke? Thank you for reading this post. :)

Recipe: Simple Mashed Potatoes/Kentang Putar

Assalamualaikum!

Greetings.

I love mashed potatoes – homemade. Dah try buat dan menjadi! Best lagi buat sendiri sebab murah dan dapat banyak. Ada lebih boleh simpan dalam fridge. Let me share the recipe~ (kalau lupa boleh rujuk dekat blog sendiri.)

Ingredients:

• 10 biji kentang – potong dadu, rebus 30 minit (air penuh, sampai kentang lembut)
•  250g butter Farmcow – I use half of it
• Susu Dutch Lady low fat 300ml *if nak lebih susu dengan butter pun boleh, up to you*
• Lada hitam kasar
• Garam 2 sudu kecil

For gravy: (for those who have better recipe for gravy, do share because mine is so simple)

• Kiub ayam knorr - 2 kiub
• Air panas 400ml
• Tepung jagung 3 sudu, bancuh dengan sedikit air. Nak pekat lagi, lebihkan tepung jagung
• Bawang putih 2 ulas
• Bawang besar sebiji
• 3 sudu butter

*Bawang putih dan bawang besar chop nipis*

How to:

1. Rebus kentang 30 minit, toskan airnya dan letak sekejap atas dapur untuk keringkan lagi air yang ada dalam periuk kentang.
2. Hancurkan kentang yang dah direbus tu, guna botol sos cili yang dah diwrap dengan plastic. Botol sos tu basuh bersih-bersih, wrap dengan plastic bersih, then yeahh mash the potatoes hingga lumat.
3. Masukkan butter ketika kentang still panas, butter will melt easily and lagi senang nak mash.
4. Masukkan susu. Kuantiti butter dan susu ikut tukang masak nak kurang ke atau nak lebih creamy – put extra.
5. Masukkan garam dan lada hitam kasar, mash sampai sebati. Siap.

Gravy:

1. Cairkan butter, tumis bawang putih dan bawang besar hingga garing. Masukkan kiub ayam knorr, air panas dan tepung jagung yang dah dibancuh dengan air.
2. Blend kesemua sos sehingga hancur bawang yang telah digoreng
3. Masak sos yang telah diblend hingga pekat

The mashed potatoes can now be served with the gravy! Try la, simple dan murah.

Happy mashing!
