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 )

sometimes I have trouble with finding a suitable title..

My mother and I sent my riding boots to a cobbler (Pak cik comel yang depan Mydin tu)
I just finished my riding lessons so I had to take off my shoes in front of Mydin and walk bare-footed to the car which was parked in front of 7-eleven.
oh, the humiliation..
The cobbler said it would be done in an hour.
its been 5 days. LOL.

don't ask why we haven't taken the shoes yet.
we...just....haven't......

Here's a list of exactly what I did today

1.vacuumed my room
2.cleaned the fish tank

CINNAMON-GREEN TEA CHALLENGE

I started challenging myself.
haha, challenge lah sangat..

well, there are two things that I'm trying to stick to and those are:

-increase intake of cinnamon
-increase intake of green tea
-increase intake of oranges.
(yesterday, Sabrina gave me RM100 and I went to Tesco alone. I bought premium oranges.
4 biji RM10! lol but they tasted awesome!)

These are some of the most healthiest things you could possibly eat.
click: here for benefits of cinnamon.
and here for green tea :)

Basically what I'm doing is:

-eat an orange a day
-drink cinnamon-green tea everyday.

I've been eating an orange everyday for the past 5 days.
booyah.

and I've been drinking cinnamon-green tea for the past 3 days.

cinnamon-green tea recipe:

1.measure out however much water you want and boil the water.
2.Take a cinnamon stick and as soon as the water simmers, drop it into the water. *PLOP
3.when the water goes into a rolling boil, you should see that the colour of the water turns a mild brown.
4.boil the cinnamon stick for another 5 minutes.
5.Take whatever tea you have and rip the teabag. place the tea in the cinnamon water and turn off the heat.
6. stir and let sit. *I usually read the newspaper when waiting. APE LA MALAYSIA 0-3?!!
7. use a sieve to sift the tea leaves and the cinnamon stick.

*You may add sugar if you wish to have diabetes.
(really, this is so nutrition-packed, I don't really understand why you'd put sugar. WHY?!)

I usually do this at night cause cinnamon makes you hot. (and sexy)
and you know how Malaysia is. Its summer every day.
so I take it at night when its cold out.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED

I wouldn't change a thing



The wind in my face, the sound of her hooves.
The adrenaline rush.
I was uttering the Kalimah Shahadah.
anything could happen.
If I let slip and she suddenly turns left,
I'll die.

I was counting her hoof beats.
1,2,3,4.
1,2,3,4,
1,2,3,4

we were galloping... I couldn't believe it..

I'm no great rider.
I've only fallen 9 times.
whereas my trainer has fallen off nearly 76 times his entire life.
I've only been riding for 13 months, since I was 15.
Others have been riding since they were 4.

but why do I feel so great when I am upon a horse?
because I feel free.

I was 2-pointing the entire time.
I couldn't hear anything else because all sounds were muffled by the wind.
I was so focused.
like I said, one mistake, and I'm dead.
literally.

My foot could accidently come out from the stirrup,
I fall shoulder first,
my whole arm would be broken.
probably even my neck too...

but among all the fears and endless possibilities of how my life could have ended today,


Galloping with Massa was the most beautiful moment of my life.
Nothing could ever change that.
Nothing.


"and so, I thank Allah for still letting me live, and for letting me experience the most beautiful feeling anyone could ever feel, and for giving me courage to take risks. If you never try, you'll never know."

Memecah subuh

let me just start off with:
doesn't everything look more deep if its in black and white?

So, we just watched twilight: breaking dawn part 2 just now.
(don't worry, no spoilers :) )

It was amazing.
coming from a potterhead, it really was.
ok yeah, maybe the whole Jacob imprinting on Renesmee was pretty pedophilia-ish.
but the movie itself truly was great.

I remember in one particular scene,
everyone in the cinema was like
"oh, thank god. thank god" and was panting in relief.
me, Qistina and Atiyah cried.
(I couldn't really see Shamirah and Mimi's face.)

you'll understand when you watch it.

after the movie, we went to the hardware DIY store.
(the same shop I bought my ship-model)

Let me just say that I:
BOROS BERBELANJA.


so, here were the things I bought:

 I'll name him George. He grows grass from his head so it looks like his hair :D
 RM3.50.


 really cool decorative-furry-DIY sticker-thingy RM1.90/sheet


 arm socks that cover half your palms.
suitable for rock concerts or gardening. whichever you prefer.
too lazy to forage trash can to search for receipt to check price.

 funky socks. it says Rock. not the other word you're thinking.
RM3.90

horsey stickers. RM1.90
Me: aww look, a horse and Ollie on top of it. Two thing I love the most.
Atiyah: that's so sad.

oh, by the way,
while riding today, my hairband came off from my hair and from under my tudung.
Its somewhere in the arena.
LOL
