Terminology..

frankly.. i'm quite obessesed with terminology be it in literature, architecture or education..etc etc.. n ESPECIALLY culinary

bombastic as it may sounds, when it comes to culinary.. even for a self-taught cook like me, it is good to know the appropriate terminology in cooking...it shorten the needs of explaining a lengthy description or technique in mere 1 or 2 words..
so...if u wanna discuss culinary stuff with me.. be ready to be bombard by every possible bombastic words..hehehehe

huuuuhuuuuuuu...anakku suka cerita ini!!

when asked why he likes it so much.. he couldn't find the reason why
hehehehe..kids



Sesaat ku terkesima
Pada indah personamu
Sekilas kau senyum padaku
Melarutkanmu dalam kasihku

Sesaat ku terpesona
Pada warna ceriamu
Sayangnya telah ku hidu
Semua paparanmu palsu

Indah impian cintaku
Namun realiti tak seharum
Yang ku impikan kerna
Cintamu tak sejati

Ku mahu kesetiaan dan kejujuran
Kasih sayang yang tiada bersempadan
Pengorbanan cinta yang tulus dan lahir dari keikhlasan

Namun kau hanya mampu memberi janji palsu
Dan kita pun terdorong hawa nafsu
Semua yang kau berita benar dan tak kan menjadi erti

Selamanya takkan ku lupa
Kau ajar ku seksa
Kau pandai berkata-kata
Hingga aku derita

Selamanya ku berjaga-jaga
Tak sanggup ku kenang
Cukuplah sekali terluka
Kan ku ingat sentiasa

Indah impian cintaku
Namun realiti tak seharum
Yang ku impikan kerna
Cintamu tak sejati

Ku mahu kesetiaan dan kejujuran
Kasih sayang yang tiada bersempadan
Pengorbanan cinta yang tulus dan lahir dari keikhlasan

Namun kau hanya mampu memberi janji palsu
Dan kita pun terdorong hawa nafsu
Semua yang kau berita benar dan tak kan menjadi erti

Aku bukanlah boneka mu
Ku tak rela dipermainkan
Lebih baik sendiri
Dari terseksa di tangan mu

Apa yang aku mahu

Indah impian cintaku
Namun realiti tak seharum
Yang ku impikan kerna
Cintamu tak sejati

Ku mahu kesetiaan dan kejujuran
Kasih sayang yang tiada bersempadan
Pengorbanan cinta yang tulus dan lahir dari keikhlasan

Namun kau hanya mampu memberi janji palsu
Dan kita pun terdorong hawa nafsu
Semua yang kau berita benar dan tak kan menjadi erti

Ku mahu kesetiaan dan kejujuran
Kasih sayang yang tiada bersempadan
Pengorbanan cinta yang tulus dan lahir dari keikhlasan

Namun kau hanya mampu memberi janji palsu
Dan kita pon terdorong hawa nafsu
Semua yang kau berita benar dan tak kan menjadi erti

Ku mahu!
