TWILIGHT THE MOVIE
I just came back from the cinema after watching Twilight with my sister. I gotta say, it didn't fully satisfy my hunger for the fiction nor actions. I'd probably give a rating of 3 upon 5. The story plot was kinda short with insufficient actions in it. Maybe that is why its PG-13. LOLZ. In addition to that, the movie was actually very cheesy. My hairs were basically on ends most of the time, with goose pimples all over arms.
I was actually kinda impress that the author of the story had different perspective on vampires. Instead of fearing the sunlight because it is deadly, the vampires in the story were actually reluctant to go out in the sun as they would have exposed themselves to the community. Which would of course freaked most of them out. As the sunlight hit their skin, they actually reveal their diamond-like skin complexion. Wow... Imagine that...
"Vampire Killer no. 1 - Sunlight : Plays no role in killing them..."
Another thing that kinda got me bothered was about the zero suspicion or reaction the community around the Cullen's family in exception to those already aware. I mean, come on... They've got like snow-white skin and bloody red lips. Their eye pupil colour change from time to time and not to mention their superhuman speed and strength. Don't anyone get suspicious at all of the family? And how lame of an excuse that Dr Cullen had their family out for outing or picnic whenever there is sun so that they are excused from college. Can't anyone get suspicious and go check it out at all? Instead, I can see that most girls are totally all over Edward for being handsome. Sigh.... Are we like that in reality too? Being only concern towards the external beauty without a care of the interior? It really bothers me so much.....
Another point was when Angela was pouting about hoping Eric would ask her to the prom which of course he hasn't. Then Bella gave her piece of advice on taking control of the situation instead of waiting uselessly. So, Angela took her chance and somehow successfully asked Eric to the prom. I see lotsa women out there screaming for equal rights as their male counterparts but they still stick to these few old rules such as...
"Men should do this... men should do that... they must do it first...."
Come on, get a grip and just throw away all these thoughts. If you wanna be treated equally, you've gotta clear your head off these thinking. Just go for it.
The most touching and basic thing anyone can feel is probably the unconditional love of Bella towards Edward. Bella's feelings stood firm and didn't change throughout and after the process in which Edward reveals his true nature as a VAMPIRE. Bella did not care whether Edward was a "killer", a "monster" or even an "undead".It all did not matter to her. This is actually what love should be in reality - UNCONDITIONAL. Yet, in reality we don't experience unconditional love often. Do we? Does this phrase seem familiar?
"____, if you don't do (so and so), I won't love you anymore"
These are phrases often used by parents of lovers. Usually parents used them in a situation to threaten you with love for you to follow certain rules. Children as young as three are constantly exposed to threats like these. They slowly build up the false truth that love is conditional. If they do not follow certain rules, they will then not be loved. Isn't this so sad... It is for me...
Other than that I could say this movie was okay overall. I haven't read the book yet. Hopefully it'll be more entertaining.

Ok... Here’s the finale...
My little way of baking Pt.4....
Your cake from earlier should look something like above....
Mine was nearly burnt.
Remember the Ganache from earlier.
+Apply generously over the cake.
For the cake deco, I used royal icings....
Prepare these:
___ROYAL ICING___
1. Icing sugar, 200 g
2. Egg white, 1
3. Rose essence, few drops
4. Lemon juice, few drops
Sorry, I forgot to snap photos... Too sticky
+ Whip the egg white till frothy
+Add icing sugar gradually and continue whipping
+Add the rose essence and lemon juice
+Whip the cream till reached soft peak
Now, go prepare some designs for your icing deco
Unless you’re a great artist, you should prepare some designs
Now? Pipe away.
Oh, place the cream into a transparent plastic bag.
Cut a small hole at the bottom
Since I added 1 extra egg, my cream wasn’t stiff enough
Thus my wasted effort on these plastic sheets
I just piped my way on the cake and...
Tadaa....
My Cake is done....
Its dedicated to my dad birthday tomorrow...
Sleep time...
Buh Bye...

My little way of baking Pt.3....
Prepare these...
___GANACHE___
1. Cooking chocolate, 200g
2. Light whipping cream, 250 ml
**Note: Cooking chocolate itself is not bitter.
The whipping cream is already sweet.
Thus, I eliminated the sugar required in this recipe.
+Break the chocolate into pieces.
You have 2 choices:
a) Use a knife. This is dangerous!!!
b) Use a shaver as in Figure A.
**A cooking shaver. Not the one in the toilet**
+You will then finally have chocolate shavings, Figure B after hard work.
+Heat the whipping cream over small flame – Figure A
+Stir occasionally to prevent burnt
+Allow cream to boil slightly - light bubbling – Figure B
+You now have your warm cream and shavings – Figure A
+Add the shavings to the cream and whip lightly – Figure B
Your Ganache should be smooth and liquid-ish
Allow to cool at rtp till reach rtp
** rtp -room temperature**
Now?
Go rest...

Shopping Spree....
Today....
I AM NOT GONNA STAY HOME!!!!
Not gonna be alone...
Let someone else do the job....
Got invited to MV for shopping....
But......
I can only spend RM 200.00
WTH am I gonna buy...
OMG.... HOw will I manage...
Lucky I bought my tee's in advance....
Left only jeans.....
But still... 200... How am I even gonna buy 2???
So I had to go get myself some good deals.....
So I took an entire day walking....
OMG... It's so tired...
When you gotta carry women's stuff....
So I was like so down....
Couldn't find a nice deal....
Let alone that which appeals to me.....
So then.... Heaven appeared....
Saw this ROMP shop or sth.....
Went inside...
Great deals... great stuff....
So I got started.....
After an hour or more....
I managed to get myself a pair of jeans and a sleeveless-jacket....
Ok... still ok I guess....
So went on looking....
Oh ya..... Now I'm hungry....
Grabbed a bite at Burger King....
The food was so so I guess...
Was my first try....
So I let it slide....
Then off to continue my quest....
To no avail of course....
Then, I crossed over to The Gardens...
Bloody nice price you see there....
Of course with their quality and all....
BS right? 699 for a jeans....
So, went back to MV for final search....
Decided to head back to ROMP....
Then, I pit stopped at JEEP....
Their stuff was okay I guess....
Then I saw 2 appealing ones.....
Tried them on....
One was just nice but the other kinda tight...
At the waistline...
Too bad for me... No L size... only XL...
Mad!!! I'm not that huge!!!
So made my call and took them both...
Hope I don't get any "wider"....
Well, there goes my day...
End up, I used 250....
Okay I was a little off budget....
Its only a little.... ^.^
Now I'm home...
My leg hurts... Darn....
How do you shopaholics go on for days....
My legs are sleeping now...

Wide awake.....
