Final Year Project

Hello everyone.So today i'am planning to make an important decision on what topic would i choose as my final year project.i'm currently in my second last semester completing my degrees in multimedia studies before doing internship program next semester.And finding a job will be next.Haha.Anyone would like to hire me? :D

My very first poster

Multimedia was never my field of interest till i started studying them in my courses at my university.It akwardness still stung.Hur.But nowdays i'm training myself to be familiar with all those things in photoshop,flash,illustrator,2d animation,modelling(?) and creating website and databse,and also programming.And just so you dear readers know,i have to take 3 courses of programming; C++,C++ extended version (this is what i call it) and the other one is JAVA.And i retake two of them.Haha.Not funny yeah i know.

Thank god,i am qualified to carry out this project in this sem.My supervisor is...........*drum rolls*.....Dr Zawiyah!! I talked about her in my very first entry! :) And the other student also under her supervision is Eric Tay,a chineese student.

As for my final year project, i plan to continue a mini project on JAVA course that i have already done.I might improve the mini game and make them as my final year project's product.But the thing is,it requires programming skill.!@#$%^&.

Ok,second choice,how about doing a simple 2d animation.Hmm.hmm.hmm.it sounds so simple to make it as my project.But nevermind,at least i have some confident in that particular skill.

Next,how about creating a panorama (virtual tour).Sounds nice.But the courses regarding virtual reallity has just begun this semester,so i can't predict if i'am capable of doing that sort of thing.

Among games,multimedia creative,3d environment,social networking,multimedia information retrieval and others,i can only do 2d animation the most.It is considered like 2 cent for a multimedia student to do that sort of thing.in contrast with 3d modelling and web programming..*ugly sobbing*

Building apps? it requires a lil bit of programming too.Dear Lord,please guide me along this path for this semester.Its gonna be a hard time.And also,make me master a lot of skills and make me a hard and smart working student to achive that.

Above is my very own twitter background.Basically i just arrange all the pics so that it form a bigger siza for a twitter backgroud.LMAO.

Ok.now pull yourself together mastura.You gonna decide what you are about to do for the project and little by little you're gonna learn and learn througout the time.And the fist proposal have to be sunbmitted on this coming 7th March :D hiyak!

Clams Hunting

This is clams' territory! hah! Here they are.

Beautiful :)

See,lovely isn't it? They are clams in english word according to goggle translate which i am sure of that too.In Malay they are called kepah,if you see the one which are smaller than this,then we shall call them lala.This type is in the bigger size,the one that we use to put them in spaghetti oglio olio or whatever the it name is and other recipes.But here in Malaysia,we often cook them by chilied frying and masak lemak too.Huh,masak lemak kepah is my favourite *my saliva is rushing now i can feel them*Look at their shells' pattern,beautiful.

Masak lemak:coconut based and also having spicy taste.Sometimes can be a lil sour according to the chef.Some of the ingredients are coconut milk,chilies,tomatoes,dried shrimps,lemon lime leaves,lemongrass and..emmm..and many more.

This ones reading for cooking

Last semester holiday,my older sister and i went for mussel hunting.Hah here we go buddy. Many times on the semester break,she woke me up early in the morning about 8 am to seek my company to go to the shore near our home.And i was like:seriously this kid,she was so excited just for that.But as soon as i'm at the shore,i got hyped up too.Why?Because there were soo many clams at the shore that you can never be bored searching for them.It was enjoyful every time we were able to find the little creature.Like fishing,we never got tired when so many fish have been caught within a short time :D

We took along a small shovel,a small container and any other things that we thought necessary and drove off to the shore.There are fisherman village there,and the place is known among the locals as a startegic place to do such activity.

We dig the sand slightly and the clams were just beneath them.And there were spots that covered with mud,and i tell ya,the clams can be felt using our feet when we step on them.We were barefooted.Hahah,i felt little weird and not safe at first,but the feelling disappered after a while because of the joy finding the clams.We even tied  plastics to cover our hands and wear socks to cover our feet later.lol.We spent about more than an hour there before the high tide starting to shove it's way.Overwhelming!

Back at home,the clams were left in sea water for a few hours before its ready for cooking.My mother cooked them,half of them were chilied fried and the other party were made as masak lemak.I ate them with plain rice and rice only and i added some more into my plate :D.It was delicious that i had to postpone my diet.Really.The whole family enjoyed the dish but my mother have some allergic reaction to the clams so she can't eat them.Oh poor,the clams are not playing nice with her. 

And when it is holiday again,i'll come home and search for the clams again. :D Its nice and enjoyful to tag along my sister at that time.Hahah.See you! Psst,there were no picture of the dish because we were too busy eating. >:)

This were at different location

Apple Pies

Hi peeps,good day.

Last week was my semester break and i was so busy stuffing my stomach with all the free foods provided in my home.Haha,may Allah bless my parents and thank them for that. "Fresh apple juice,apple pie,apple cake,apple yogurt,you are the apple of my eyes" :P

Well,i'm just trying to say that i love apple.That's it.And guess what? I amm bakingggg! wohoo..It was so much excitement rushing at that momment because i'm not that familiar with all this cooking and baking thingy.And when my pies turn out to be nice, delicious and crispy,i got super satisfied.But my mom said it will be nicer if i cut the apple in a bigger chunck so that the apple bites will be more intense.Noted.It is a simple and nice recipe by the way.

You will need 2 green apples,or you can just mix red and green apples,it doesn't matter.Wash and cut them and they'll go into your pot.Cook them with a lil butter.Put some cinnamon powder.I used the cinnamon stick,but i'll advise you to use the cinnamon powder,the flavour is more rich and the scent will be more aromatic ;).Next,goes the brown sugar for about 2 tablespoon and a little squeeze of lemon juice and a little mixture of corn starch as a thickening agent.And the filling is done! You can add cranberry too if you like them. Then,you will need to prepare the puff.I prefer to use the ready made puff which we can find them in supermarket in various size and brand.I used 'kawan' branded puff and it is in 4x4 inch of squrare-shaped.

Remove the plastic wrapping and cut a slice of puff into two in the middle,put the apple filling on top of one of them,and use the other half to cover the filling.Make the end of the puff stick to each other by pressing the end of the fork againts them.And them brush some yellow egg on top of pie.Depending on how much you put the filling on one puff,you can get about 8 apple pies for 2 apples you used :D. Yummy! There we go buddy,pies in the oven! 180c for about 30-35 mins or for the pies to turn golden-ish and crispy-ish.

Above is my apple pies.I should put more filling in it so that the pies will be more filled,i'am being stinky you know. And i shouldn't make the cut at the top puff longer like in the picture.It was shabby.Haha ><.And the yellow egg too should be applied on the top of the puff neatly next time.But overall they were delicious thank god. Guys, remember to upload your pies when you are done baking so i can donwload and eat them! Good luck :)
