This Is Us

# word vomit post ahead, play this in case you drown from my thoughts.

Hey guys, remember when I ditched studying for my major exam last year and decided to remove eyebrows from One Direction? Yeah I do too and here's the link to refresh your memory. (CLICK ME!)

"Wait, who's this One Direction?! An automobile workshop?" Unless you've been living under a rock (heck, even if you're living under a rock, you'd still know them.), you would have a 99.98% of knowing them as the 5 English guys who just literally took over the world with songs. No, I am not exaggerating.

Anyway, today was the first day of premier of One Direction's movie, This Is Us and if you follow me on Twitter (here's the cue for you to follow! #selfpromote), around 8 hours ago, this would've been your timeline:

Yes, I've decided to give it a shot since there was nothing else to watch and I didn't have enough balls to watch some horror movie. (I was actually really excited, that just an excuse, can't blame me, they are pretty darn adorable.)

Ps: SPOILERS AHEAD, PLEASE STOP READING. READ ON YOUR OWN RISK AND DON'T BLAME ME.

Like I mentioned earlier, I was actually really excited and I still am for the movie (just typing this out makes me feel excited too wtf.) It could be my big love for concert movies or it's probably because it's One Direction., I strongly agree with the latter. 

I'm no movie critic or whatever but I watch a fair good amount of movies and I'd like to say this has got to be one of the best concert movies that I've ever watch and the only reason it's not the best yet is because I am loyally attached to Big Bang. That's it, the only reason. Sure, the 3D effects were actually pretty much pointless (they actually sucked really badly if you compared it to Justin Bieber's or Katy Perry's movie, please don't kill me.) other than making you pay 2 times the amount of a normal movie ticket but it's all worth it, every single ringgit from the RM21 that I paid. 

This literally had all the elements to making a good documentary/ celebrity dairy thing hahahaidk but you get the point! It had,

TRUE BROMANCE

REALLY TRUE BROMANCE. #BROMANCE5LYFE

THE TRUTH

NIPPLES

Just basically whatever that One Direction is made up of.

Honestly though, whatever that Tyler Oakley said about falling in love with them after the movie is 101% true because I am a victim of the One Direction-taking-over-the-world-thing. This movie just showed that they're still really normal people after all, they have fun, joke around, smack each other's arses and everything else that we do. It shows us that they have their insecurities and feelings too, just like us. 

It shows us that, they're just like any other 5 college/university aged guys and that they're only odd because of their jobs. 

I think I am officially a quarter Directioner now. Shit.

Not-so- 5 minutes S'mores brownies in a mug

Why hello there. I've been waiting for you. Well you know, just making some brownie in a mug and pretty much the usual procrastinate-all-you-can stuff. You know.. no big deal. Right?

The first time that I've learnt about microwavable food, I've always been like yeaaaaaaah sureee. I mean like, microwavable popcorn? Yeah, sure. Or like, microwavable mac n' cheese? Yeah, sure. WELL, this was not until I've learnt about  microwavable brownies or cakes in mugs and ever since then I've always been skeptical of these stuff. I mean it's practically magical. A cake which usually takes around 15 minutes of prep time and 45 to an hour for baking can be done in 5 minutes or less? It's literally magical, seriously. 

So for the past couple of months, I've been making tons of these little devils (*coughs* weight-gainer *coughs*) in cups and every time a friend of mine who comes over who is hungry, I'd whipped these little babies up. Come to think of it, I've actually wanted to do a post on these things for a really long time already but I've always been like meeeeeeeeeeh, maybe they're aren't as good so today I took these things and gave them a twist to make it post-worthy (I was just actually trying to waste some time.) hurhurhur. #bloggerdedication

So here goes. Also disclaimer, this is a recipe that I've made up by myself and all measurements aren't really accurate because I am too lazy to weight them so feel free to compromise and make some twerks when you try this recipe out.

What you'll need:

(makes a serving or a mug filled with cake and magical feels)

2 tablespoons of unsalted butter

2 tablespoon of chocolate spread

2-3 pieces of graham crackers/ digestives biscuits

2 tablespoons of sugar (health cautious people, you guys can cut it down to 1 or 1 and a half (: )

1 egg

3-ish to 3 and half tablespoons of self-raising flour

2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder (I used dark chocolate powder!)

1 tablespoon of chocolate chips (can be replaced with nuts, I used walnuts!)

Some marshmallow

So first, take your 2 tablespoons of butter and combine it with 1 tablespoon of chocolate spread and mix them in a bowl. Microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds. While waiting, crush your biscuits. Then, mix your melted butter and chocolate spread mixture with all your crushed biscuits. It should look something like the picture above.

Take half of your crushed biscuits with chocolate and butter mixture and press them down at the bottom of your cup. Leave the remaining half aside.

Take another bowl and mix in your flour, sugar, cocoa powder, egg and your remaining 1 tablespoon of chocolate spread. Mix them thoroughly and leave no lumps. If it's too dry to be mixed, add in a tablespoon of water. It's suppose to be goey and thick. If it's still too dry, compromise. (I warned you!!)

Now that you've got your batter ready, add in your chocolate chips. I used walnuts instead because I like them better. Mix well.

Put in HALF of your batter and then put in your remaining crushed biscuits and chocolate and butter mixture.

(excuse me for the ugly cloth and egg shell. hurhurhur)

Put in a layer of marshmallow (this applies to the people who are using tiny marshmallows!!)
If you are using normal large marshmallow, like me, press in 3 marshmallow. After pressing in your marshmallow, top it off with the remaining of your batter. Remember to leave about a quarter of your cup empty because it is a cake after all and it WILL expand. Trust me.

Pop it in to the microwave and let it microwave for around a minute. (this also varies for many people. I like mine fairly cooked, for those who likes it goey and battery, microwave it for around 45 seconds!)

NOW SIT BACK AND ENJOY. BUT FIRST REMEMBER TO COOL DOWN THE CAKE A LITTLE FIRST OR ELSE YOU'LL END UP WITH A BURNT ROOF IN YOUR MOUTH LIKE ME.

I'm feeling sexy and freeeeeeeeee.

FOOD > HUMAN.

OKAYBAI GUISE. ENJOY. HEHEHEHEHE. MAY THE ODDS BE EVER IN YOUR FAVOUR AND THAT CROSS YOU FINGERS THAT YOUR CAKE WOULD NOT OVER SPILL.

#photoadaymay - A Favourite Place

 

Sweater - Abcrcrombie & Fitch wool sweater

Purple shorts - Bugis, Singapore

Was running out of ideas to blog then as I was about to do my daily photo challenge for my Instagram, I suddenly thought of doing a post instead. So today's challenge was a post on a favourite place of mine and the first thing that actually came up to my head was Korea thanks to my obsession with Koreans, K-Pop and everything Koreany. I actually wanted to just skip today's challenge because I didn't want to succumb into just posting someone else's picture UNTIL I was in room doing what I do best which is eating and doing nothing productive, I thought- hey, I spend 80% of my free time here so this place has got to be one of the bestest place on Earth for me and one of my favourite place right hence this post. hurhurhur.

This shoot was also probably one of the funnest self-shoot I've ever did because:

a - it was air-conditioned.

b - I didn't get weird stares and looks from people who thinks I am too full of myself.

c - I didn't have to sweat.

d - It was MYYYYYYYY room.

and also because I could take as much as I wanted since it was so comfortable hahahahaahahahahaah. okay bye I now have to get back to run my errands of doing nothing.

before I forget, say hello to my photographer! (since I lost my tripod and threw my other lameshyt quality tripod away.)

AND!!! Follow me on Instagram! @amandactyan 
AND NO, THIS IS NOT A REQUEST. IT IS AN ORDER. hurhur.

Insta April

Filler post ahead.

So I was scrolling my Instagram feed the other day and I thought back to the days when I didn't have a smartphone or a tablet. Back when I don't even depend on my phone that much and all I needed was my laptop which is the complete opposite to me now. I practically depend on my phone more than I've ever depended on any other materialistic items. My alarms are in it, my schedules are in it, my reminders, note and everything else! The moment I wake up, I literally start scrolling my phone and I can never sleep without scrolling through my phone which means I am in deep shit addiction. No, really. 

Okay back to Instagram, I believe almost everybody knows what this is and if you don't, it is like Twitter but you upload pictures of what you were doing and caption them instead! Instagram is only available to all smartphone or tablet users so to those who isn't using any of those, I'll be compiling all my Instagram updates at the end of every month and upload them here! Yay for me and you because I don't have to think and crack my head on what to post hahahahaahahwtf. 

My April Instagram uploads in a glace and the last 3 pictures on the last rows were just fillers because I didn't have enough to fill the whole thing up hahahahahah. 

And yes, I've become one of those most annoying people online who only posts food pictures and selfies but #yolo. #hashtagREALLYneedtostartworkinghere #noseriously. Okay bye. It's 3:35 in the morning now and I am still watching Liberal Arts and I swear Zac Efron is the cutest hobo alive. 

Also! My Instagram - amandactyan !
