How I enjoy the moment

I was alone this noon, hungry, and bored. My mom left me chunks of chicken fillet in the fridge. I'm sick of eating fried chicken, so I decided to make another kind of food. Unfortunately, I've got no spices at all! I could only find onion, garlic, celery, and a piece of rotten tomato..

I opened the fridge again, searching for something interesting for cooking... voila! I found a jar of cheddar cheese! So I decided to make bake the chicken fillet (without alumunium foil, 'coz I couldn't find it anywhere!) with a very few ingredients!

These are what I need:

- 1/4 piece of onion (cut into very small pieces)

- some celeries (also cut into small pieces)

- some chicken fillet

- corn oil (i don't have olive oil, so i use this)

- salt & pepper

- cheddar cheese

- lettuce

Now, follow the steps:

Mix the onion & celery, pour a small amount of corn oil and stir. Then, put salt & pepper inside (the amount is up to your taste) and stir again.

Put the chicken fillet on the baking plate, pour a small amount of corn oil on them, then put the onion & celery mix on it.

Put some cheddar cheese on the top until it covers the chicken fillet.

Bake them inside the stove with small fire (don't set the fire too big, it'll be crust)

After it gets half-baked, put some lettuces on the top (rip them with hands, don't use knives) and bake them again.

After a few minutes, it's done!

I never imagined it'd taste sooooo good!

Simply, we can cook delicious food with very limited ingredients in a short time, and (of course) enjoy every single bite of it.

Just clear your mind and open for any creativities!

p.s: I think it'll taste better if we wrap them with alumunium foil. I've watched few times on tv cooking programs, wrapping them will make the taste of spices soak into the meat. I think I'll do some other variations on it someday =p

Adoring Burt Bacharach

My appreciation to this maestro started after I found the fact that he was the one who composed the song "What The World Needs Now is Love" - I wrote about it on my previous post.

Maybe it's too bad for me for not knowing him before, but since I don't live in America and (also) not living in his era, I think it's fine. At least I know him now - while he's still alive, and am appreciating his works.

Actually, I knew some of his famous works and have been adoring them. I just never know that he was the one who made them.

Some of my favourite works of his are:

Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head, (They Long To Be) Close To You, I'll Never Fall in Love Again, and of course.. What The World Needs Now is Love.

Burt Bacharach ([ˈbækəræk]; born May 12, 1928) is an American pianist and composer. He is best known for his many pop hits from the early 1960s through the 1980s, with lyrics written by Hal David, many of which were produced for and recorded by Dionne Warwick. As of 2006, Bacharach had written a total of 70 Top 40 hits in the US, and 52 Top 40 hits in the UK.

What made me adore him so much is that he could make lots of wonderful works with enjoyable melody & unique arrangements. And of course... because his works last forever! For me, great works are those which would stay known forever, I think everybody agrees with that.

Salute to Burt Bacharach and the lyricists Hal David. I wish I'll be able to make great compositions too!

Let's Fly to Europe!

I always want to go to Europe, whether for just a trip or even going to college. Since it's too hard to get the scholarship, I took this funny thing instead. Well, who knows...? Hahaa..

So, just click it and let's fly together!

Music World

I want to live in the music world.

I'm sick of living in this cruel and pathetic world.

This thought occured after I read so many news about violence and crime.

Look what's happening in Gaza. What's actually in their minds? Killing innocent people and proud of doing that... Are they really humans???

I'm not supporting Palestine because I am moslem, but it's more about humanity!

My friend sent me an e-mail which contains some pictures taken in Gaza. The sender was American; even an American thinks that Israel has gone too far. The pictures she sent were never published in the US media, because they don't want people know what actually happen there. Even an American activist was killed by

I feel so lucky & blessed that I'm living in a peaceful place where I'm currently staying, but every time I think of what happen in Gaza.... I feel the pain in my heart. I can't imagine how people could live in such situation. And I can't also imagine how Israel could be so MEAN. Why can't we live in peace? Why's everything should be measured by weapons & arms?

In music, we have no big fights. In music, we're all in peace.
No countries or regions, no races, we're all living in the same world and concerning one thing: music.

Remember how New York Philmarmonic Orchestra performed in Pyongyang last year? There's no politic in music. We're in peace.

In this New Year's 2009 concert by Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, the conductor was Daniel Barenboim, an Israeli-Argentinean. Though he's half Israeli, no one bothers it. Why? Because he lives in music world, not in this real cruel world. He still got standing ovation and I didn't even have a slight of hatred to him, though Israel's started their airstrikes to Palestine few days before. Because we're in the same world of music.

Why can't we just play music together and live in peace?

I'm sick of seeing people killing each other....
