back to smallville

Last night, my brother and I went back to smallville sempena cuti maulidur rasul. At 10.30 pm, he picked me up and we went to meet Aqashah , his cat, which lived at block nearby. Aqashah ni dah pindah ke merata-rata tempat ikut tuan dia :)....Memula stay s.7, then pindah bukit bandaraya, yang paling best, Aqashah takut tinggal kat sentul, dia stay dalam cage je, sebab tu la kena anto balik ke s.7.. After we feed him, we moved on with the journey back to smallville.



Kereta sangat lah banyak, maybe semua orang pun balik kampung masing2 sempena cuti kan. Tak ketinggalan, lori dan bus. We stoped for several times, then we safely reached smallville at 5.30 a.m.


The mushroom keep on mushrooming non-stop, maybe orang kat rumah dah xlarat nak makan mushrooms tu semua....haha..paling best, bler suruh baby gorengkan mushroom dengan tepung KFC tu...nyum2...rasa macam ayam goreng pun ade..


In the evening, my mom asked me to baked some buns with red beans filling. Abah yang request that bun to be prepared.. Sedap juga, sebab dah lama x makan, and for baby, I made the plain buns because she didnt eat the red beans filling...mengada-ngada~

roasted chicken & beef steak

Every Thursday, I've food styling class, which conducted by MR.A and MR.E...The main purpose of this syllabus included in my degree courses, is to identify the role of food stylist in various media such as editorial, public relations, promotional, print advertisement, packaging etc. to acquire techniques used in food preparation and presentation for camera.

Every week, we all have theory classes before we went to the kitchen. Today, there was an invited guest speaker who taught us about the lighting in photography and also how to use Photoshop photo editor. This software will be so useful for us to edit those pictures that we shoot.

he is explaining about the function of flashlight


teaching how to use photoshop

As for today, we have to prepare 2 dishes, roasted chicken and also beef steak. Its not like what we usually prepared it in kitchen, but, these dishes only for photo shooting purposes. So, there are several tricks and techniques we have to apply, in order to make the dishes look real and tempting to eat. 1st task is to prepared beef steak, we used sirloin steak instead..

The steak have to sear 1st on the both sides, to get the browning color on the surface.. Then, use the metal rode to make the grilled effect. If the color is not attractive yet, you can touch up with some coloring, to make it look caramelized and some burnt colors.

MR.E is searing the steak and heating the rod

use the hot rod to make the grill effect



the final shoot~ sirloin steak

The 2nd task is to prepare the roasted chicken. Unfortunately, we got the 'ayam cacat' one...haha...That chicken seems to 'baring-baring dengan rilex nya di tepi pantai' hahaha.. Dengan gaya senget sebelah...Everything we had tried to make it 'sit' properly on the plate, but we failed...hoho...Biar la dia nak baring-baring kejap :P .....Letih gamaknya..

The whole chicken must be trussing 1st, then soak it in boiling water for several minutes, to get the smooth and shinning skin which looks like it cooked. Then, with painting brush and some thick soy sauce, color the whole chicken, until the chicken look like roasted,then, after you get the correct tone and roasted effect, you may sprinkle with herbs or crush black pepper, to make it looks like the real roasted chicken.

Today, I've an appointment with my Independent Study's adviser, which is MR.B. actually ,I've suppose to meet him yesterday, but, I'd postponed it to today~...semalam kan still on the journey back here..

So far, he said that my progress on IS is good, still on track..chewahhh....I'm so glad to hear that, rasa macam berbaloi je penat lelah selama ni... bagai nak crack kepala otak untuk siapkan literature review(LR) ni, itu pun baru untuk 1st varaible...there are 3 more varaibles to go.... chiok2 saliza...you can do it~ :D.. due date for submit the LR will be on next week, hurm, lets see I could finish it on time or not...thanks God I get MR.B as my adviser, if nenek T dulu,mampos!
she keeps repeating the same irritating sentence, "you better do your work, if not, u'll die" "do or die"

Back to Shah Alam..

After spent 2 days in smallville, today I've to go back to shah alam, my home sweet home rumah sewa..hehe..

I'd took the Eramesra yellowish bus which anyone known their tagline 'eramesra, naik selalu'...seems that I had been cursed by the tagline...adoiyai...hihi

What I hate about the eramesra is that, the bus keeps stop here and there....first stop was at parit buntar station bus, then, bagan serai station bus, followed by 1 more bus station which i cant remember the name.. later than that, baru masuk highway....

The journey was quite smooth, but sometimes rainy here and there..the one who sit beside me, was a boy, which put on the ketayap alL the way to s.a...hihi...both of us keep silent from kulim until shah alam.. :P...masing-masing layan tido je..

I'll update more on the mushroom's progress soon~ 2nd batch dah boleh petik :)
