THE PRINCESS (COOKING) DIARY

Hello! 3 weeks never blog d suddenly don't know how to start wtf

Okay, so today I'm going to share a recipe with you guys. SURPRISE!!~ This Puteri, who has never been into the kitchen or hold a frying pan all her life is going to share a recipe here. Seriously, the hardest "food" I have ever "made" throughout 27 years was cup noodle wtf

Eh, need to pour boiling water one leh, very challenging already ok!

So, back to my surprise dish. I was actually inspired by my friend who made really good and tasty spaghetti with sausage and luncheon meat. Secretly, I also go Google for some cooking tips before embarking on my cooking project last week. After (much) research, I've decided to cook based on instinct and get whatever ingredients I feel like eating.

With that, allow me to present you, SPAGHETTI MEATO TOMATO ---> I "invent" this eh, can or not wtf

SPAGHETTI MEATO TOMATO

Ingredients that you need:

Spaghetti (200gm is about portion for 2)
Meat a.k.a pork (ditumis with garlic)
Sausage (3 sticks wtf)
Mushroom (4 biji)
Carrot (1 batang medium-sized)
Crabmeat stick (4 batang)
Kimball bottled sauce (half-jar)
Campbell mushroom soup (appetizer)

First step, open Campbell soup wtf Seriously, I've never use a can opener all my life. Really, I don't know how to use a can opener! I took 10 minutes to kaji where to start but still fail to figure out.


Ended up, I get a kain buruk, sit comfortably on my sofa and poke hole by hole with the sharp edge T_____________T


Hard work man, really hard work T_______T Try poke hole by hole for almost 25 minutes and see. But surprisingly, my fingers were not hurt during this dangerous process but my nails, which was nicely done and colored the day before, all gone *curse*

Next, boil spaghetti. I used half a packet of it, which is about 200gm, enough for 2 pax.

My kitchen very neat one, almost like brand new hehe
Get the pots and pans ready. Boil water. Added in some salt. (Like Chef Wan said, "garam secukup rasa"). At 180 degree I very kan cheong dee ok! What if I got so clumsy and whole pot siram on my face then habislah EPF also not enough for plastic surgery =.................=


When you see bubbles and got "pi plop pi plop" sound, it's a sign that spaghetti should be added in.


Allow it to soften
Meanwhile, pour the content of pepejal Campbell soup into a pot. The soup should be cooked last as it is best served hot.

I get bored very easily. It took around 6-8 minutes for spaghetti to soften to desirable level. Therefore, I waste no time and maximize the usage of big mirror in my living room wtf

Stick my tongue out like a pup =___________= Sweat so much ar so only one ss pic pass QC.


So the spaghetti siap. Not too soft or too hard. Exactly how I wanted it to be, spongy. Drain kan all the water and put it in a bowl.


Next, masak the ingedients. First, stir-fry the meat with garlic and oil. I was afraid if I straight away cook in the sauce later kena lao sai.


When the meat is masak, add in sauce and other ingredients in the following sequence: carrot -> sausage -> mushroom -> crabmeat stick. I made a mistake by adding in carrot last, which is why my carrots were still hard when all the other stuffs were already cooked to perfection.


When this step is done, tutup gas and drain the spaghetti with some cold water so that it doesn't feel sticky. Then, pour the sauce onto the spaghetti and tada~~ BERJAYA!

Now, can cook mushroom soup d. Very easy, don't need picture.


No one believes that I can do this. Not even my mum. So when I showed her this photo, she wept tears of joy wtf I'm so proud of myself too. At least when 1300-13-1300 doesn't pick up my calls, I won't die in starvation. Overall, it tasted not that bad la just that the carrot is a little bit hard and the sauce is kinda watery. There's still "room for improvement", as claimed by Vic who willingly became my guinea pig lalala~

Next up, maybe I'll try to make some Chinese food. If this weekend free, then wait for my post ba =) 

p/s: Now that I can cook, anyone wants to marry me? *big wet eyes*

THE WEDDING DIARY

If you don't know what is this about, let me share with you right now. It's a new movie starring Ah Niu from the "dui mian de nv hai kan guo lai" fame.

The movie, it's all about a wedding.

From the months of preparation to the sum involve, a wedding is not as easy as it seems.

Marriage is a "collaboration" between 2 parties (a.k.a families + extended families + a lorry of unrelated people) Wedding is the project that you need to undertake for the first first of real marriage life to begin.

A night of glamour and fame...

...that to some, cost not only a fortune, but squeeze them dry.

I was seriously, deeply, almost-instantly touched by every element incorporated in the movie. You guys seriously have to watch it! Well, it might be predictable and common and all that but go in with an open heart, relate as it goes, trust me..

Your tears will drop in no time, as mine did.

I wept silently.

One of the elements of life that they mention in the movie is "Lies & betrayals". The leading actress asks, "Why is there so many lies in this world?" Believe me, I've been asking the same question ever since 3. People sometimes choose to hide the truth because the ugly truth might hurt you.

If it might be hurting you, then allow me to ask, "Why do people do it in the 1st place?"

We are human, not God. We might at times do things out of our head and when we realise it, it's already too late. Damage has been done. Concealing it is the only option available. Not everyone has the courage to face or admit their fault. This is life and experiences taught me not to expect everything to be perfect.

You cant draw a straight line sometimes even with a ruler and believe it or not, you will never be able to cut an apple into 2 equally even half.

I wept so loud inside when the mother of the leading actress choose to forgive her father for the betrayal and harm he had done to the family. I was moved by her courage. It takes an effort to say a sorry (and meant it). But, it takes twice the effort and courage to accept the apology and to forgive.

Relating to my own experience, I've learnt to see things in a broader perspective. I'm learning to appreciate things / people when they are here and learn to let them go should they have to / choose to.

Often people ask, why are you so fucking damn stupid to hold on to someone like him, to clinge on a love that he no longer cherish, I don't know the answer. And I know deep down inside, he always say the right thing but never did the right thing.

I still love him like b4, in fact much more but if the same thing is to happen again, I definitely will not beg him to stay. Enough is enough, I'm also a human, not God. There's a limitation to the kind of love I could afford to offer. If a person can't stay true to his/her partner or the relationship, then what's the point when 1 person is trying so hard to keep it, to love him?

I'm tired.

And no guys, I'M NOT PREGNANT.

It's hard to forgive and forget. Th mouth might choose to forgive but the heart still feels the pain every now and then. The memory continues to haunt you.

I'm learning to have a life of my own too. I've loved him too much in the past to put him before everything else and taking myself for granted at times. I'm learning to enjoy my own "me-time" and definitely time for my "committee members" that stood by me throught thick and thin. (thank you guys, muah! <3)

Ask me now if I still trust hime like before, I guess you know the answer. After all, what do you expect froma  guy who had previously kept concealing stuffs from you over and over again and makes you feel superbly dumb to the shyte hole?

But, I still believe in the power of dream, in pure love and "happily-ever-after".

Wish me luck <3
