Apple crumble.

The unproductive life is really getting onto me and so I made a list of things to do. Hopefully I will bring myself to do them and not brood about being lifeless for the rest of the holidays. You can always find something to do right?

After spending the whole of this morning feeling useless and also watching cooking shows on Food Network Asia, I decided I had enough. No more lounging on the sofa staring at the TV. It's time to do something more productive. So I opened my laptop, Googled for some recipes and ended up with this:

Jamie Oliver's apple crumble.

I have never tasted apple crumble before but I saw that I had all the ingredients needed for the recipe and thought: Why not?

I didn't wanted to use all the apples, just in case the recipe fails and I ended up wasting ingredients, which will make me feel even more depressed and guilty. So I tweaked the recipe a bit and into the oven it goes!

(The one on the left looks flat... Because there is no apple underneath all the crumbles. I made too much crumbles...)





Turned out pretty good even though I didn't brown the crumble as needed by the recipe but it's still warm and crispy and a little bit of chewy to compliment the mushy apples. It was a tad too sweet and the next time I make it I'll reduce the sugar.

Yum yum.

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total...

Malaysian Aboriginals

Ever thought of Orang Asli or Malaysian Aboriginals? Until recently, I thought Orang Asli are bumiputras such as Kadazandusuns, Iban, Bajaus, Bidayuh, but not Malays. Sometimes, I even use the terms interchangeably. My mom always gave me a weird look when I talk about my 'Orang Asli' friends from university. When I went to Taman Negara a while back, I was cleared of my misconceptions. Orang Asli are not the ethnic groups from Sabah/Sarawak. They are Orang Asli, another ethnic group on its own. How come I never knew that? Either I have studied it in Sejarah but don't remember it (Hey, who else remembered the contents of Wawasas 2020 which I tried to etch it into my mind the night before SPM paper? I don't. None of it. Conclusion: No one remembers what is mentioned in sejarah textbook.) or it is not mentioned in our history syllabus. If it is the latter, I am really pissed off because as the first settlers of peninsula Malaysia, shouldn't they provide more we...

Solo Travel is WAY overrated.

Across the Internet, you see people gush on and on about the wonders of solo travel. Don't believe me? Here are the many examples: 1. From a travel website. A truly liberating experience:  Solo travel is one of most liberating experiences on the planet - you’ve got no responsibilities to anybody but yourself, you can do what you want and leave when you like, and the buzz you get from the sense of freedom is immense. 2, A quote within a nice photo: (PS: I did travel alone and it was way lonelier than I expected) 3. Another quote: Inspired by this, I planned a solo trip to Cambodia. Initially, I was even more ambitious and planned a SEA solo trip- Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines. Obviously, that didn't turn out as plan and I settled with Cambodia only. That was the best decision I made with regards to my trip planning. I am so grateful I didn't have to go through the horror of travelling ALONE. Haha ok ...
