Wealthy Cameron Diaz Remains Down-To-Earth

Do you recognize this beautiful lass? I'm pretty sure atleast half of the universe knows her...am I right? Ke aku seorang aje yang kenal dia? tapi yang pasti dia tak kenal aku ...kuang kuang kuang.  She is none other than CAMERON DIAZ...hehe.

She's my favourite actress and I love watching her movies such as Charlie's Angels and her other romantic-comedy movies. 

This morning I read about her on the newspaper and I was surprised (tapi taklah sampai terbonjol keluar biji mata kan) to find out that she cleans her own toilet despite her being one of the rich and famous hollywood superstars!

I was thinking ...what if I share this article on my blog because her story is so inspiring. Perhaps It can inspire others the similar way i'm being inspired by her ...semangat tau baca kisah dia ni lepas ni I kenalah semakin rajin cuci toilet sendiri biar sampai berkilat...hahaha :P

Actually I like the way she reminds herself every time she does something that she feels so wrong :) infact that triggered me to put this article on my blog!

Here goes the article....

Cameron Diaz cleans her own toilet

Cameron Diaz still cleans her own toilet.

The 40-year-old actress - who earns a reported $20 million per movie - insists she has remained down-to-earth despite her vast wealth.

She said: ''I think your foundation is your foundation. I work as hard as it takes. That's the essence of who I am. ''So for me, I'm not thinking, 'Hmm, what is it like to do that?' I already know.

''And I'll jump into it at any time. I can scrub my own toilet. And I can scrub it against the best scrubbers of toilets. We can do a scrub-off!''

The 'Gambit' actress has never gone off the rails because she insists wild partying or drug taking never seemed ''interesting'' to her.  She told the new issue of Britain's Esquire magazine: ''It just wasn't interesting for me. There's more I want out of life.

''Not to say I didn't go through my phases, but any time I was in danger of any of that, I was like, 'Come on Cameron, that's not who you are.' There's so much to gain by not doing that stuff.'' (C) BANG Media International.

RESEPI AYAM DENDENG

I've tried this recipe once when my friend, Marla came from Miri and gave me a surprise call. Within 1 hour I managed to cook 5 recipes including this ayam dendeng and invited her for dinner.  

It's very delicious...indeed :)

• One whole chicken - cut into 12 pieces

• 100 gm of shallot chips (in other words, fried onions or bawang goreng in Bahasa Malaysia)

• 2 cubes of gula melaka (substitute with 2 tbspoon of gula apong ~ you can only find it in Sarawak /or u may use brown sugar)
• 2 tablespoons of tamarind juice
• salt
• sugar
• oil to cook
• 5 pieces of dried chillies, soaked in hot water for 10-20 minutes, then blend.
• 10 shallots, blend
• 2 inches ginger, blend
• 3 garlics, blend
• 5 cardamoms,
• 3 cinnamon,
• 3 star anise,
• 5 cloves,

- Prepare all the ingredients for blending and blend ingredients together until smooth.

METHODS:

1. Deep fry  chicken in a very hot oil until 80% done. dish out and set aside. (well I'd prefer to season the chicken with a pinch of salt and tumeric powder to give a taste  before deep frying :)
2. Heat up a wok and add  2 tablespoons of oil.  Toss in cardamoms, cinnamon, star anise and cloves and add all the blended ingredients and stir constantly until aromatic. 
3. Add tamarind juice and gula melaka/gula apong/brown sugar. Stir again and add salt and sugar to taste.
4. Add fried chicken and cook well (until a little bit dry) and finishing with shallot chips/fried onions/bawang goreng.  Serve immediately.

Happy Cooking peeps!!!! :)

Welcome to My Decent World...eleh decent ke???? :D

Testing 1,2,3.....and drum roll please :)

Thank you everyone for your visit in this very humble blog of mine (if any). Eh ada ke visitor? hehehe

Looking at the title 'finding grace in a world of temptation' ..I would like to clarify that this blog is not about religious issue as I don't think that I'm the righteous person to talk about it...hehehe of course I'm not holier than thou, I'm no better than others :P


I chose it due to the fact that the title is relatively intriguing in a sense that we need to remind ourself all the time that whatever the temptations we may have especially when it is beyond our reach, nama pun wanita kan selalu kalah melawan godaan. Macam-macam aje godaan dengan kasut lah , handbag lah, makanan lah (hahaha yg ni saya mengaku selalu kalah... uiqs) dan macam-macam lagi lah.

Although I know It's kinda hard to resist our own temptation, but we have to find ways to slow it down, always make sure we keep our feet on the ground while reaching for the stars ...don't you agree? :P

I was actually still in a state of 'shock' when a 37 years old woman who used to own a child care center in my neighborhood (just a few minutes walking distance from my house) has just pleaded guilty to 29 charges of credit card fraud..SubhanaAllah this is what I'm talking about ...a good example of how important for us finding grace when it comes down to temptation. Janganlah sampai berbuat sesuatu yang terlampau sehingga tak terjangkau oleh tangan sanggup pulak nak menipu atau mencuri...kan??? tak baik tau!!! 

Therefore you better not do something that can lead you to an utter disgrace. Always be humble, be grateful & bersyukur pada apa yang ada...alamak feeling ustazah pulak dah ...bluwekk hehehe

Well the real reason I create this blog because I would love to share recipes to the readers especially my friends as I believe that 'sharing is caring' and it is part of our amal jariah bila kita panjangkan ilmu kita...tak gitu? 

Speaking of temptation....tell me how tempted are you when seeing this cookies???...heheh enjoy!
