Where's the poop, Robin?!

Ever since I watched the episode where Robin was getting over Don,
I kept hearing Lily's voice echoing in my mind whenever I am in a situation that includes "poop"

"Where's the Poop, Robin?!"

Well, today I was gardening and I realised (or more like smelt) cat poop somewhere in the garden.
now, If you've ever been to my house, you would know just how "jungle-like" my garden is.
I've been so crazy about finding the hidden poop that I just can't sit still.

"Where's the poop, Robin?!"

I kept saying that line over and over again while looking for it.
(I hope Mr.Lew and his wife didn't hear me)

I can't... find it....

WHERE'S THE DAMN POOP, ROBIN?

everything indian!

We watched "The Life of Pi" yesterday.
It was really heartwarming.
It has a really deep message hidden in the story.
really, really deep inside the story.
even I had trouble finding the meaning of it all.

Overall, it was a really beautiful story combining faith and hope of a boy of different religions.
also, this movie shows just how beautiful the Indian culture is :)

I was really productive this morning.
My "anak dara" instincts came out somehow.
I woke up at 7.45 am, swept the porch, changed the cat litter, polished my boots, cleaned my room, made breakfast and cleaned the (mini) fish pond.

Also, tonight we're having an indian dinner.

Tandoori chicken
Mint chutney
Chapati

all home-made and prepared by me!
huehuehue


you know, Jaya Grocer is like, the heaven of all grocery stores.

I never thought I would ever find marshmallow fluff, buttermilk, buckwheat pasta, Jell-O or even doritos ever in Malaysia.

The unbleached, 100% organic wholemeal flour that I'm going to make Chapati with was also bought at Jaya grocer.

YAY, JAYA GROCER!

My neighbours just came back from India.
They've been gone for 2 weeks.

Me: mum, how come they get to travel all the time and we don't?
Mum: They don't have kids. Their money stays in their pockets.
Me: ouch. Hahahahahah

I'm turning 16 in 5 days.

UPDATE:

see, told you I'd make tandoori chicken :)
it wasn't as red as I wanted it to be but well, life's like that..


My chapati was really good, too!

Balls!

I've wanted to try make cake pops for quite a while now.
This is my first attempt at making these.
For those who don't know what cake pops are,
where have you been?

except of course, mine didn't actually have lollipop sticks in them
so they're cake pops without the pops
meaning they're cake balls.
what?

(the surface is hard. It looks wet in the photos due to condensation)










I used Duncan Hines' Dark chocolate Fudge frosting in mine
and used hershey's semi-sweet chocolate chips as the crust.

I didn't eat any. I'm sure they're really good though!

Random photos

HaPpY SatUrDaY!!
oh....don't you just feel like giving people who type like that a smack across the face?
haha. here are some random photos I found on my computer:


Despite having accidently lost his glasses, I found a good use for my Harry figurine.
ACCIO FISH!



 This is where I spend most all of my time.
I'm trying to learn "tennesse" from the movie Pearl Harbor.
The score I found online was so.....not fun?
so I decided to stick to learning by ear.


 This is a note Sarah left in my bag (without me knowing)
I came home, found the note, laughed, showed it to my parents and stuck it on the wall next to my time table.
I love how you wrote angel in capital letters.

This is Katrina. short-cutted into "Mina".
Mum thought of the name because she was born in 2005,
which for those who didn't know, was when Hurricane Katrina happened.



When I first got her,
I looked down at her and thought, "you look dirty, like mud.. or clay."
clay...clay....
then I thought of that French piano player that my mum had a crush on when she was a teen,
Richard Clayderman.
hmmm....who else is from France?.....
MADELINE!
we love our bread, we love our butter BUT MOST OF ALL WE LOVE EACH OTHER!

I personally call her poop.
because she likes to poop
and she kinda looks like poop too.

Lemon Jelly slice!

When life gives you lemons, make lemon jelly slices :)


 Ingredients:
400g condensed milk (nearly a whole can)
2 lemons
1/2 packet digestive biscuits
3/4 cup melted butter
lemon extract
Lemon flavored Jell-O
1 packet plain gelatine

(I didn't really measure anything.  just kinda poured everything in.)


 1. Crush digestive biscuits in a plastic freezer bag until smooth with no crumbs

 2.Melt butter and pour into cookie-crumb. Pour mixture into dish, flatten, and freeze.

 3.grate lemon rind and squeeze the juice out of the lemons.

 4. In a bowl, mix lemon juice, lemon rind, gelatine (dissolved in the hot water) and condensed milk.
pour over hardened biscuit crumbs and refrigerate until hardened.

5. Prepare jell-o according to package directions. pour the cooled liquid over the lemon-condensed milk mixture.

6. Let mixture set. slice and serve.




These were really lemony (which I like)
you could tone down the lemony-ness in these by reducing the lemon juice and leaving out the lemon essence, though.

these tasted great!

make sure you grease your dish first! (I forgot. lol )
:)
