Lullaby

Dear Confession Five,


Nickelback


'Lullaby'

Well, I know that feeling
Of finding yourself stuck out on the ledge
And there ain't no healing
From cutting yourself with the jagged edge
I'm telling you that, it's never that bad
Take it from someone who's been where you're at
Laid out on the floor
And you're not sure you can take this anymore

So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this up on the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out 
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Please let me take you
Out of the darkness and into the light
'Cause I have faith in you
That you're gonna make it through another night
Stop thinking about the easy way out
There's no need to go and blow the candle out 
Because you're not done
You're far too young
And the best is yet to come

So just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this upon the radio
If you can hear me now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not alone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Well, everybody's hit the bottom
Everybody's been forgotten
When everybody's tired of being alone
Yeah, everybody's been abandoned
And left a little empty handed
So if you're out there barely hanging on...

Just give it one more try to a lullaby
And turn this upon the radio
If you can hear now
I'm reaching out
To let you know that you're not a lone
And if you can't tell, I'm scared as hell
'Cause I can't get you on the telephone
So just close your eyes
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby
Oh, honey here comes a lullaby
Your very own lullaby

Tiramisu! A sure rebound dessert for the unoccupied!

Dear Confession Four

My personal recipe for the Italian Tiramisu Dessert.

Ingredients: 
  1. 4 Eggs
  2. 500g of Cream Cheese or Mascarpone Cheese
  3. 120g of Sugar (it can be brown or white, depends on what you have)
  4. 400g of 'Forno Bonomi' Ladyfingers or 'Savoiardi' Ladyfingers (They're Italian biscuits). 
  5. A teaspoon of cocoa powder for dusting.
  6. 300 ml of warm coffee.
**For those in Shah Alam, you can get the 'Savoiardi' at a bakery shop called 'JJ's Bakery' at Section 9, it's behind 'Secret Recipe'. 

Instruction: For the Creamy Mixture.
  1. Beat the eggs and add sugar into the mixture until they appear thick and pale. 
  2. Add the cream cheese and a pinch of salt into the mixture. Mix until it appear thick and creamy.
Instruction: For the Tiramisu.
  1. Prepare the hot coffee, pour it into a shallow dish (so that it'll be easier for you to dip the ladyfingers) and let it cool down. 
  2. Dip the ladyfingers quickly into the coffee and arrange them side by side, in a serving dish.
  3. Cover the ladyfingers with the creamy mixture. Use all the ladyfingers and the cream to form layers on top of each other.
  4. Top with a layer of cream mixture.
  5. Dust the top with cocoa.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 5 hours before serving. It'll be best if you leave it over-night. 
Hope you'll enjoy the rest! 

Duchess

Ps: To my Aisy, if you are reading this, hope you'll stop by to receive the promised Tiramisu (I just made them). 





While you're making your dessert, dance to this song!

Shoot!

Dear Confession Number Three. 

I'm compulsive! Be it in my decisions or choices. I'm compulsive and it's my nature (my compulsiveness is always dominant when I'm bored or unoccupied, like now...) so people, just bare it with me okay.

Ma vie est un chaos magnifique.

Dear Confession Two,

Living life without any plans is a waste and immature but sometimes, having no plan at all is a plan itself. Sometimes, you've just got to take a breather and doing it once in a while (like a day or two) can do wonders to yourself. Take a breath and live! You deserve it after a long run. Just take thing slow and let chaos runs its course.

I actually forgot how it feels like to take things slow and to savour a moment (can you blame me for getting caught up with work and assignments?), life as a university student is a handful but now I'm just going to enjoy the freedom I have with my time (got a lot of things to do on my list and that includes doing nothing and watching movies).

So take my advice and just breathe for a second, who knows, you might just see the sun smirking down on you and realise that there's more to life than what's in front of you.

Une bouffée d'air frais et de renaître.

Dear Confession One,

Confession! I've created a new blog!! Why? I haven't a clue and if you do, baby, keep it to yourself because I don't care and frankly, you shouldn't too (actually, I just love new things he he he he). Anyway, I got this problem. I love to write and create stories; I got an over-active imagination! but every time I try to write it down on my blog, they all disappear! Another thing about me is that I got bored easily; you name it, toys, boys (one moment he's cute, and the next he's dumb) and hell sometimes even shopping and books! So usually I'll try something new to keep me occupy (that's why she doesn't stay put on facebook and blogs) I guess this is therapy? I do want to be a writer (Hallelujah! She knows what to do with her life!) and I got issues; my hyper-active imaginations mostly produce 10 seconds of life-span of ideas and they refuse to come to live at my command. That's just mean, man *pout*

My point is, this is something new and regular (Heck! It's new because it's new and it's regular because I might just end up deleting this later) and it might not last forever (what does?), I just hope everyone who is reading this will enjoy it (even though, most of the time the author will be nonsensical and will drive you mad). Anothing though, just don't shot me! Plus, I'm trying to stop cursing (She ain't no lady, let alone a Duchess, if she does).

By the way, Examination's over! Tough, I'm disappointed that i couldn't climb that water tank with Nora. I that property agent!
