I Drive Myself Crazy

Lying in your arms, so close together
Didn't know just what I had
Now I toss and turn, 'cause I'm without you
How I'm missing you so bad

Where was my head, where was my heart
Now I cry alone in the dark

I lie awake, I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy thinking of you
Made a mistake when I let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do
Wanting you the way that I do

I was such a fool, I couldn't see it
Just how good you were to me, oh yes
You confessed your love, undying devotion
I confessed my need to be free

And now I'm left with all this pain
I've only got myself to blame, no
I lie awake, I drive myself crazy
Drive myself crazy thinking of you
Made a mistake, let you go baby
I drive myself crazy
Wanting you the way that I do
Wanting you the way that I do

Why didn't I know it
(How much I loved you baby)
Why couldn't I show it
(If I had only told you)
When I had the chance
Oh I had the chance, oh
I drive myself crazy

Oh so crazy, oh...

Moist Chocolate Cake


I'm sharing my chocolate cake recipe - using steamer.


Ingredients :

250g flour
250g castor sugar
250g salted butter (room temperature)
5 eggs
1 tsp baking powder
1 cup cocoa powder
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup plain water

Method :

In a pan, heat water, cocoa powder and sugar and let it boil for a while until the mixture becomes solvent and thick. Turn off the heat and let it cool.

In a mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar. Add in eggs one at a time. Add in the sifted flour and baking powder. Finally add in the cooled chocolate mixture.

Steam in a round baking pan and you need to cover the pan with aluminium foil. Tie up the baking pan so that the water from steamer would not get into the pan. I would steam this cake for about 4 hours.
Chocolate Topping

50g Salted Butter
100g Cream/Double Cream
250g Cooking Chocolate

Preferably if could use a double boiler. Boil the cream in a pan. Put in the chocolate (broken into small pieces). Turn off heat and stir chocolate until melt. Spread this ganache onto the cooled cake.

Super Poke!!!

It was a long time ago since I last wrote in this blog. As usual, I have had so many things to be done in the past couple of months. Anyway, yesterday I accidentally poked myself with a pair of scissors. On my thigh!

I bleed and I had to have it covered with a plaster. Kelakar la jugak.. sampai tercucuk diri sendiri ngan gunting. I have to be more careful next time.

How Could An Angel Break My Heart


I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart...
How could an angel break my heart?

I heard her face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in May
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesn't make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me...

How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart...
How could an angel break my heart?

Oh my soul is dying, it's crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me

How could an angel break my heart?
Why didn't he catch my falling star?
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart...

How could an angel break my heart?

List of My Possible Cookies

By the time I'm writing this entry, there are only about 5 more days before Raya. And I still have not started baking any cookies. Uhuhuhuhu.....
Well, dad already bought me a new oven. And I've promised my mom I will make some cookies. So now, I'm browsing through several recipes for me to experiment. Mind you, I haven't been baking anything for close to 10 years. But, with my keen interest in cooking, I'm sure everything will be at least OK.
The list of cookies:-
  1. Biskut Mazola
  2. Honey Cornflakes
  3. Biskut Makmur
  4. Jam Tart
  5. Pineapple Tart
  6. Rempeyek Kacang
  7. Semprit/Dahlia

So, wish me luck!!

21st of Ramadhan

Today is the 21st day of the Ramadhan of 1429 Hijrah. The time flies so fast. There are only about 9 days more before 1st of Syawal 1429. I have not pick up my baju raya from the tailor. I have not buy any kuih raya yet. The flowers for my mom have not been surveyed. The curtain for the sliding door also, have not been bought. I guess, I'll be doing much stuff really towards the end of the time. But it's ok. I work better under pressure. Yeah right!!

I have few things to settle before I go for a break this coming Friday. So, I really need to focus so that things will flow smoothly.

Superwoman

Early in the morning
I put breakfast at your table
And make sure that your coffee
Has its sugar and cream
Your eggs are over easy
Your toast done lightly
All that's missing is your morning kiss
That used to greet me

Now you say the juice is sour
It used to be so sweet
And I can't help but to wonder
If you're talking 'bout me
We don't talk the way we used to talk
It's hurtin' so deep
I've got my pride, I will not cry
But it's makin' me weak

I'm not your superwoman
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me, ooh, baby

I fought my way through the rush hour
Trying to make it home just for you
I want to make sure that your dinner
Will be waiting for you
But when you get there you just tell me
You're not hungry at all
You said you'd rather read the paper
And you don't want to talk

You like to think that I'm just crazy
When I say that you changed
I'm convinced I know the problem
You don't love me the same
You're just going through the motions
And you're not being fair
I've got my pride, I will not cry
Still I can't help but care

I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me

I'm not your superwoman (Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (Hey)
And think that everything's okay
(Don't let me down, don't you let me down)
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human, yeah)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token (Ooh, ooh) of love from you to me

Oh, baby, look into the corners of your mind
I'll always be there for you through good and bad times
But I can't be that superwoman that you want me to be
I'll give my everlasting love if you'll return love to me
I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no, oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional
Hugs as a token of love from you to me (Oh, no)

If you feel it in your heart
And you understand me
Stop right where you are
Everybody sing along with me
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo

I'm the kind of girl that can treat you so sweet
But you got to realize that you got to be sweeter to me, oh, ho, ho
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo, ooh, ooh, hoo
I need love
I need just your love

I'm not your superwoman (Oh, no)
I'm not the kind of girl that you can let down (You can let down)
And think that everything's okay
Boy, I am only human (I'm only human)
This girl needs more than occasional (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
Hugs as a token of love from you to me
I'm not your superwoman
