Its my birthday again!
This is my 100th post and coincidentally, its also on my birthday. To be honest, I totally did not remember my birthday was coming. I actually realized it earlier this week when looking at the expiry date on the milk bottle.
Bleh plak cakap kat husband "mak aih lamenye susu nie nak expire". I was completely convinced my birthday was weeks away. And of course husband being husband goes "Eleleleh buat2 x ingat pulak. Kire semlm sebut2 ______ because nak for birthday la kan"
Seriously it was an innocent request.
Anyway, I had a great birthday. Nothing extravagant. Just a simple celebration with the husband.
Coming to birthday resolution (like I usually do every year), the first on the list, same as every other year is to lose weight.
I don't think I'll ever cross this off my list. Sad but true. After getting married, I've been piling on weight like nobody business, I'm sure I'm at teh highest weight ever aaaanddd I'm not even pregnant and if I do get pregnant now, I'm going to be huge by the end of the pregnancy. Scary. Nasib baik tengah on family planning but if I do get pregnant, ayoyo matila...
Second on my list is to start saving money. A lot of our money have been spend on the wedding and I know its worth it but I have to start getting serious in saving more money. There's so many things in my mind at the moment on generating more money and saving more on expenses.
Third learn to bake more. I can cook but I can't bake. people always say that you're either good in cooking or baking and never both. Not saying that I'm a great cook but if you ask me to cook Nasi beriani, ayam masak merah, Dalca and acar, I have no problem. But if you ask me to bake as simple as chocolate cake for "people" to eat, I'll definitely mengelabah.
Fourth and the most important one is finding myself. Figuring out what I really want for my future. Whether in the current field I'm in or something completely different or maybe something in between. I know I have sorted out the relationship part of my life; ie family, children etc but I'm still uncertain about my career choice. I know I can't definitely know what the future hold but at least I want to make sure I'm happy doing what I'm doing and not to care about what others think or say if I choose different from what they want me to be.
Anyway those are my resolution for turning "late 20s". Demmit I'm already late 20s.
The big 3-0 is getting nearer and I'm hyperventilating as we speak....

Its frustrating to know that this is it. There's nothing more to life than this.
I sound defeated. Maybe I am.
But going through life thinking, hoping and dreaming that there's more too life than this can get really exhausting.
Maybe it will get better.
Maybe it won't.
You know my name, but you don't know my story...

Cleaning the fridge and voila!
Its near end of the month, which means grocery shopping for me...this is the time where my fridge is left with near to expire food...so this is what happen when i clean my fridge...
yes pizza...it doesn't look tasty but boy its so delicious i tell you...i can eat two of these...and its actually low in calories since i used tortilla as the base...here's what you need...
1 tortilla wrap
1/4 Holland onion - slice
1/4 tomato - slice
2 tbsp tuna (I used lemon and pepper tuna)
2-3 slices of jalapeno ( i used the one in the tin)
2 tbsp tomato sauce
2 tbsp white sauce (this is optional, i had this is in the fridge just because i needed to finish the milk)
Parmesan cheese (Lots of it, haha there goes the calorie count)
Salt and pepper to season
1. Preheat the oven to 250C
2. Spread tomato sauce and white sauce evenly on the tortilla wrap and put the tortilla in the oven.
3. In the mean time, slice the onion and tomato and diced the jalapeno into small pieces.
4. Take out the tortilla and just everything (tuna, onion, tomato, jalapeno, cheese, salt and pepper) on the "pizza base"
5. Put it back in the oven and wait 5-7 minutes until the edge is all crisp
6. That's it!
*you can put anything you like as the topping or omit anything you don't like8
Husband was working last weekend and when he works weekend, usually the bread and milk will not finish by the expiry date. Its just because I usually do big brunch n sat and sun and when he's not around I just eat cereal.
Anyway there was so much milk left and I knew it will not get finish so i made white sauce instead and left it in the fridge. White sauce is really easy to make.
White sauce:
600ml milk
3 tbsp plain flour
pepper
a lil bit of cheese
1. Put all over a small-medium heat.
2. Slowly whisk (preferable non-stop) until the sauce thicken
3. That's it.
This sauce is originally recipe for lasagna but i sometimes used it to make potato bake or just simply gravy to chicken or meat roast. Actually if you put mushroom and chicken stock, it will turned into mushroom soup...
