independent me okies...

Where should I start?
Ok. Basically, I have 10 minutes to tell you, everything that I wanted to tell for the past few weeks…

So you know The Killers is coming to town…
Nicole won America’s Next Top Model Cycle 13…
Nicolas my favourite designer for Project Runway 6 was voted out…): huhu!!
And no one can vote Russell out from Survivor…

So everything ends so thrilling, till I don’t know what’s coming up next…

1 month till the end of 2009 and I can’t wait for next episodes of Naruto Shippuden.
For months I watch it, but still got lots more to watch…
Am I emotional, or Naruto just made me Cry?

Today, I got to catch Twilight New Moon…
It was OK. I don’t know about you guys who love Twilight will rate…

It’s watchable but I prefer the first part of the movie…
Well, Jacob is HOT, but the story is jumpy…

Anyways, I made Hotdog buns on Sunday night…
I got this recipe from Suria, the show called Vanilla…
I bet they are not giving me the secret ingredients, for the buns…

I done it 4 times, to prefect the recipe and to get the bread texture that I wanted…
In the show itself, it shows techniques that are really useless…

Like for example,
Using the expensive Mixer,
Adding Yeast at the final stages,
Waiting for 15 minutes…

This is the way I did my Hotdog Buns,


Ingredients

500g Bread Flour
11g of Instant Yeast (equivalent to 1 packet of Instant Yeast)
1 teaspoon of salt
100g sugar
1 teaspoon of baking powder

Mixed together well
Make a well in the middle of the mixture. Add

60g Cold Butter (Cut into dice)
Rub them with your fingers till it mixed well. Add

1 egg

Mixed it well… Finally add

240-260ml Cold Water

Bit by bit, till it becomes dough, if it is too soft, add bit of Bread Flour…
Make sure the dough is soft and well done…

Rest it for 30-60 minutes…
Divide it into small balls, equally
You should get 24 balls.


Rest it again for 30 minutes.

Cut your Hotdogs into half, and get ready some cheese…

Use a rolling pin to roll out your small balls, add your hot dog and cheese in the middle and roll them till it becomes hotdog buns.

Before baking them,
Rest the buns for 15-20 minutes.

I’m Aisyah Kadir…
I’ve just turn 21 year old last July 2009…
Cooking basic dishes like an Egg, Maggie, Pasta, and etc, is a piece of cake….

I would like to take the challenge of cooking Malay dishes, without burning it and cook for my family 1 day per week, without my mother’s guidance or present around the house or the kitchen…

HAHAHA!!!

Well, Asam Pedas was a total success…
Seeing them (my mother, and younger brother) adding rice and gravy of the Asam Pedas, makes me think that they like my cooking, alongside with Keledek with Bayam… : )

I learn Asam Pedas from my mother and it was not as good as my SENSAI.
Indeed I went to my Sensai house and see her secrets behind her dish…
Her secret ingredients to her SUPER AWESOME Asam Pedas was adding a bit of fresh turmeric, and extra dry chillies…

After blending, my onions, garlic, ginger, Curry powder, and Chilli powder…
I add into the hot pot, it explodes like hot larva from a volcano…

I started shouting cause the hot blended ingredients got to my face…
And it was painful… HAHHA!!! I LAUGH and continue cooking…

My Best Friend, Amir and I have decided to have Movie Dates every month…
Inglorious Basterds, made us want to watch movies every month!!! And I tell you it's SUPER AWESOME!!!!
We like to make last minute decision on what Movie we want to watch…
Indeed it was not as disappointing as I though…

We watch Halloween II, and it’s disturbing, bloody and psychotic Movie that I ever watched…

Thriller Movies are not my cup of tea (example Scream & etc)
I was glad that I didn't waste my $7.50 for some other crappy movies that they are showing…



I can’t stop thinking about it every second, and it was totally a wrong choice to watch this movie late at Night…
I covered my faced almost every time, and it’s simply not me to do such things…

Both of us learn our mistakes and not to go Neighbourhood Theatre…
Neighbourhood Theatre doesn’t provide variety of movies…

Amir LOVES Cathay and I LOVE Golden Village…
Hmmm??? Which cinema is better???

ANYWAYS, WHO NAME'S THEIR SON OTIS?
GTG, PEEPS...

Linkin Park has been one of my priorities in my life.
Well, even though they are not as important as my family and friends, but I still do care about them…
Recently, I have been searching around internet and finding news on how are they doing now…

Brad Delson recently, gave a speech at UCLA, and he gave a Great Speech with Great Senses of Humour. He is the smartest one in the band, and was able to go to law school, but decided to forgo law school in order to pursue a musical career with Linkin Park.


Hmm….

The reason for this post is to update about my favourite member of the band, which is Mr Hahn…


I was reading WIKIPEDIA, I don’t know, it is relevant or not but references do state that Joe Hahn did filed for a divorce…

I feel so shocked and I hope Joe Hahn is doing well, for now…
I wish him all the best in his life, and I know how talented he is in his music and his art…
