Fix you by coldplay.
its the perfect song, for the mood which iam in

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse.

When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
"Just what your worth"

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream, down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down your face and I...


Tears stream, down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down your face and I...


Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

i just need a good sleep i think.

Who do you think you are?

My bestie, the idiot box didnt seem to disappoint me today.
I had back to back friends and scrubs episode today.
and my ever favourite series, Who do you think you are.

This series is amazing iam telling you. its basically a series that follows a certain celebrity track their ancestry, hence, who do you think you are.
This week it was allistair mcgowan. Now, he is scottish. as scottish as u can be. he speaks, act, makes fun, die hard, loyal allegiance, haggis eating and highlands climbing scottish.
Boy, was he wrong.

He traced 6 generations of his family, and they were all born in india. yes, they were british family (colonial times u see) but they were born and they grew in india, and died there too. While most of his family married english ladies, he found out, that he has a hint of indian blood. So, he searched and search and found out that his great great great grandfather (if iam not mistaken) married a wealthy indian muslim lady. Her name was never recorded in their sons birth cert coz she was not a christian and the record was kept in the church where the kid was baptized. that is why allistair had to keep looking for the record. Then, he kept looking for the 'guy' @ the one in the family that decided to go over to india and start a life and family there. He found out that his great great great great grandfather came over from england to india because he was in the army. So, where did his great great great great grandad was from? you would think scotland rite? i mean.. he was as scottish as.. bad weather in winter. then, (just the look of his face was priceless) he found out that, he came over from IRELAND!!!!!!!

hahahahahaahhahahahahaha.. iam not laughin coz of that. iam laughin at the fact that he tought that he was scottish. He lived half of his live and then he found out, he is not really scottish at all. Irish in fact. He should start drinking em guiness.

It makes me wonder,
Who am i then?
Where do i come from.
i dunno, ive never been interested in it, but it sure makes me wonder.
Ill prolly do some soul searching in a bit.

*sigh* life,it makes my head spin

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raya is approaching, in a weeks time.
family shall be here, and i cant wait :)

ive been listenin to luther vandross, dance with my father.
i cant help but think about him
and i miss him
esp when raya is approaching.
Life is cruel i guess, but u learn to live with it.

Apple crumble !~

tadaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
well, i didnt say it was Michelin class crumble did i?
i just say it was delicious :)
well, it loooks kinda okey, and yes i know the edges were kinda burnt, not all of it mind u, so it was a successful 1st attempt i would say :)

so, basically, to make an apple crumble, theres 2 parts. the crumble and the filling.

so, lets start with the crumble. (serves about 3)

• 150g plain flour (sieved)
• 85g unrefined brown sugar
• 100g unsalted butter (cubed)
• some butter for greasing

so, its pretty simple actually. just mix the sugar with the flour. Its kinda important that u use brown sugar. It basically gives a nice golden colour to ure crumble when its baked. so, after mixing the sugar and flour, rub in the cubed butter. Do it a few cubes at a time. the crumble will need time to build up and become.. hurmmm.. crumbly?
When i did this, i think i rubbed in too much butter prolly, so it was kinda dough-y. so just add come flour, no harm. What u want is crumble that resembles bread crumbs. THATS IT

next, the filling.

• 225g bramley apples, peeled and cubed
• 25g brown sugar
• half a table spoon of plain flour
• 1 pinch of ground cinnamon

Try and get bramley apples, its always good for cooking. but if u cant get it, get any green apple. its still allrite. so, just basically mix the sugar, flour and cinnamon with the cubed apples and ure done. this just gives it extra taste and texture. its all nice when the apple melts with the sugar when u get it out from the oven.. yummy!!

so, grease an ovenproof dish, and spoon the filling into the bottom of the dish. spread it evenly, then sprinkle the crumbled mixture on top. spread it evenly too.

pop it into the oven (about 180C) and let it bake for about 40 minutes @ till the crumble is browned!!
and thats it!!
serve it with vanilla ice cream, and its to die for :)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I re tuned my freeview boxset!! with success!! okey, it might not be a big deal for u people out there!! but, i have this theory that technology hates me.
rite, lets list it out. as far as i can remember, things around me (electrical wise) just screws up round me.
i had 2 broken radio, 2 broken dvd, 1 ipod which fell onto pavement and on a puddle, digital memory card which just ran away @ dissapeared on me, a crash-ed and virus-ed computer!!!
now, it that doesnt convince u, i dunno what will!!
so, to be able to retune the freeview box, and not let it freeze on me, well, ive just won the election havent i?

iam off to celebrate, scrubs style :)
back to back episodes and then back to back of friends and then csi.
now, pls tell me,
aint life sweet? :)

bluuurggghhhh!!

so i baked and baked and baked and baked!!
well, i baked.
what came out was a delicious ( yes, self compliment never do harm) apple crumble.
Now, this is a dessert which is to die for, and when i baked it yesterday, i realized,
HOW SIMPLE IT WAS!!!!
so, iam good :) anytime i have cravings, ill just need to take out my oven gloves :)

i shall post the picture and tell u guys how to do it.
when i have the time, and energy to type of course :)

right, to my next topic.
