Almost Dead

2011-01-13T22:57:00.004+08:00

Yes.....

This blog was in a coma for the past 2 years.....Actually I just couldn't be fuck to write down what are my thoughts anymore because they usually come and go so quickly. I guess on the other hand I have a memory span of that Dory Fish in Nemo as well since I can only last a few mins in thoughts and its gone. I always tell myself I'm exhausted from work and over working and this and that but FUCK THAT...... YES I AM SHORT FUSE so WHAT......... This year new year resolution.....STOP GIVING MYSELF A FUCKING EXCUSE.............yes.......I know again I do need a slap on my face sometimes and you bitches would most gladly do that for me.........

Almost been away from home now for 5 years...........damn thats long.......but I guess I'm not looking back now since I've came a long way by myself. Yes its hard and Yes its lonely....but hey you lost some you gain some.

Hope this year is gonna be better because I guess I do work a lot lesser and have a bit more to spend now compare to where I have first started and I would add that to my small little accomplished file........

As I walk further down the road of adulthood....the more I realize how shitty life or things or people can be around you. It was always rainbows and butterflies when your young and all we care about for tomorrow is that we can actually make more new friends or past our freaking test...... but now test or no test....its test day everyday.....task to test our EQ.....task to test our IQ and there are even task to test our ability to lie through things and see how smooth or far can we go being unnoticed......when I was younger I felt that this is totally unacceptable but as time goes by and when you need to stand tall in this society...... or when you need to smooth things out and get yourself things you wanted or out of situation.....this lying thing that I hated so much has become a skill that is much needed......... Not to say I love lying or lying is something that I do everyday............but telling half truth or altogether pretending to be ignorant will sometimes get you out of shit and even get you things you wanted..........ass kissing or some say ass wiping will be necessary as well .... well lets just add that to the pot as well.....what other ingredients have we attain down the road as well!!!??!?!?

So at the end of the day my dear bitches....did we become more wiser or from my own point of view that we become more cynical and scarier as we grow up..........because I believe we are capable of doing things that we find unacceptable when we are younger but we can actually do it now with grace!??!?!?! What happen?!?!?!?!? Did age turn as into monster or did we do it to ourselves deliberately!??!?! OR can we blame society again?!??!?!?

Beautiful Mind

2009-04-25T22:28:00.003+08:00

Lately, I heard about alot of suicide going on in Korea especially in the entertainment sector....Means alot of actor and actresses are committing suicide. Sometimes I really wonder what goes through their mind right before they have their last breath. I mean ofcouse they must have undergo a servere depression or something seriously mind bothering for a long time and then finally decided that it is not worth living anymore.
What comes into my head was that.....people aren't as strong will or strong minded like they use to be anymore. Maybe because everything we have now a days comes easily and that is why we can't take in much down fall as compared to our ancestors. Yes ofcouse we can't compare the condition but think about it......we have everything ready on a platter for us when we are born. We don't need to worry about food, we don't need to worry about money and certainly we don't need to worry about the weather or neither do we give two cents about what is going on around us. I guess this is how things went wrong.
In the olden days, people have to work hard for what they want. Parents always have dinner with their children at the end of each day and mother still tuck their children to bed and ofcouse not to mention baking cookings and reading them story books. But now, parents are just too tired or busy after a day's work and decided to hire nannies or worse still just hand over money to their kids and thinks that it is alright as long as they have what they need.
But little do they know that they are actually living in their own little world that kids can also be settle with money. To me most of our morals or personalities and behavior were shape during childhood and what make us "us". But ofcouse we change while we grow up but some of the fundemental things that we know we learn from our parents.
I guess that can happen as well when now a days the kids knows only about computer games and portable games console that they don't play together in the playgroud anymore or nor do they go out and play in another friend's house anymore. In another way, when they grow up, the possibility of them being a socially handicape is not suprise.
That links back to where I first started that when someone is in depression and they do not have many friends or their family member to suport them, they turn the wrong way. Or maybe because they do not know how to express themselves much cause they are not use to doing that as well. Either way, it felt like the world is turning into a cold concrete place where no one cares about each other but only indulge themselves in their own world.
I know its a weird post....but this thing was in my mind for sometime now and I finally have the bloody time to jot it down....

Him

2009-03-29T15:57:00.003+08:00

Yes.......its officially been almost 5 months now....
Thanks for all the concerns but we are still going strong...
Ofcouse we did have our ups and downs but at the moment I just enjoy the time spend talking with him on the phone.
After he left, till sometime later only I found out little things about him and what he have done for me that makes me felt warm inside. Just like my last convo, I was stupid enough not to realise he actually bought me the flowers until yesterday when I was in a conversation with my housemates. Nic was complaning about her boy not buying flower for her but for another girl instead on that girl's convo. Then I started saying that "Its ok, Shaun never bought me flowers anyway". Right after I finished saying that, both Nic and Alex turn their head and stared at me like I have just killed my own mom........ "What!?!? Who say Shaun didn't get you any!??!??!?! Did you know he called me that night to ask me get the nicest bunch of flower in the shop????? SO means out of all the flowers you got....his was the most expensive and big one.....How can you NOT KNOW?!?!??!".....Yes...both Nic and ALex almost chewed my head off....but at that moment....I just can't help but smile....
Sometimes I guess he doesn't show but he does love me in his own way afterall. But ofcouse there are times where I felt neglected and alone when he didnt pick up my calls or answer my message. That is the time where so many negative advise comes in. I guess it is true that why bother when he is so far away and we don't get to see each other at all ? Just forget about it is what I always heard......But strange enough...how could you let go of a relationship when there is absolutely nothing wrong with it and when you haven't even try working things out together? I don't believe things come easily but I do believe having determination and faith goes a long way. I am trying my best to build my relationship so next time when I look back I won't regret and always have that "what if" thing going through my mind....Therefore thanks for all the concern and advise but sometimes all I need is just some encouragement to tell me this is just a small bump on the road. And for those who have been patience enough to hear my rantings....Thank you and you are a truely good friend indeed.

Lov,
Cow

Blessed

2008-10-31T02:16:00.002+09:00

I am blessed with a good pair of hands,
I am blessed with a logical brain,
I am blessed with friends that never desert me during my most difficult times,
I am blessed with housemates who can take up all my non-sense and shit,
I am blessed with a family who cherish each other,
I am blessed with nice people around me who are willing to help me when I needed,
I am blessed with an opportunity to work when I most need it,
I am blessed with a nice, big cosy room,
I know I am blessed when I can give and help others who have less than me,
Most of all I am blessed to be able to born with all four limbs and a healthy brain.

Yes....You guys must have thought what maggots is eating her brain? Did she just join a new religion !?!??!?!? LOL....the answer is no mate!
Something suddenly just hit me again how fortunate I am even though I have a lot of difficult times. Because people around have helped me and I have always been able to get help when I most needed it. I guess I have to say I am one lucky person in terms of stuff like these and I am not taking all these for granted because I remember every single good things be it big or small my family, friends and people who had done for me.....
Thank you all,

Sincerely with love,
Yen

2008-09-22T00:34:00.003+08:00

Recently...I've met with some interesting people...people whom I would have to say are living a parallel life from mine but one fine day we somehow collide. Well for instance, I have always pass by this laundry shop but somehow never think of going there because there is a nearer one from my house. Somehow one day feeling peculiar and at the same time having some laundry to do I went inside. Met this lady...thought she was weird because she was singing to her phone...I did what most people does, sitting down and reading some of the stuff from the magazine rack. Later on we started chatting and to my amazement, she have told me stuff about myself that I didn't even know. Then found out that she is actually a counsellor and this is her part time job....she say I am a very logical person...I tend to do the right thing often too much that I get annoyed when people don't do the right thing as well. In another words I can irritate by inconsiderate people very easily and I am a control freak....well she didn't actually say that word freak but somewhere close...She also told me that I don't like it when things are not going according to my plans or people don't react to me accordingly....strange enough those where true but no body ever tells me that and certainly those traits were not of a Gemini....or I guess I have change through the time and I didn't even realise that....and certainly not my dear bitches because you guys will only remember the old me...the me that we grow up together with.....and I am rather intrigue by the stuff she said.
Another incident happened in the airport. Honestly...in the airport you will met so many people that you would normally consider eccentric...but they are part of the works you see...without them the airport would not be a whole. This guy name Lence, a middle eastern cabby driver who drinks nothing else but cappuccino pops up when I was shopping for a bracelet. It was dead at 10pm at the arrivals because there won't be any planes till 11.40pm. He was smiling and asked why am I here instead of working and we started chatting. He asked why did I buy the bracelet myself? I thought that was a strange thing to ask...I mean if you don't buy that for yourself then who are you expecting to buy it for you? His answer was friends and boyfriend. I told him that I rather buy it myself because I know best what I want.
" You are a perfectionist aren't you?"...I was like WHAT?!?!!!?? har ? You serious? I have been told I am many things but not a perfectionist.....I mean me?!?!??! perfectionist?!??!?! errr.....ok....then he went on and explain. "That's why you can make a good cup of coffee....because I saw you throw away coffees when you think they are not good enough, and not a lot of people do that when they are busy"..... again I was amaze....
Conclusion is .....people around you sometimes know you more than you think.

p/s: I know this entry is lame....just writing some of my musings and thoughts.

Monday...my sactuary

2008-08-27T23:17:00.006+08:00

Finally something fresh!!!

Fresh as in I have finally done something new.....Monday is officially my off day of the week and I am loving it! I went to the beach last week with some friends just to unwind myself abit and I had one hell of a fun!!! woohooooooooo....... We went breakie in the morning and decided to have some fun down at the seaside and we starting playing and kicking sand at each other. Well it brings back some real nostalgic feelings as I remember during school holidays when I was younger, my family and relative always gather together and we will go on a holiday trip. It feels like I am back there with them again....
Anyway it was so enjoyable that we decided to do this again soon and this time around we will do a picnic instead of just having breakie in one of the cafes. Here are some of the photos I got hold.

The postcard perfect beach

Trying to look postcard perfect here....=_="

Looking silly as usual

Errr....

Mr Sam n Mr Kim

Moi!

Miss Phoebe!!

Time did fly by abit too fast....

2008-08-15T01:45:00.002+08:00

Yes....

Time does fly by without your concern nor consent.....it just does.....from what I can recall....I am in this Land of Oz for almost 3 yrs liow.....damn......and yes sorry for the lack of posting as I seriously do not find anything interesting nor do I have that oomph in me to blog always.....Life now is just the same ol' routine for me everyday......

The reason why I write is abit disturbing.....
I found that I am more and more acting like those people here.....not that I bloody want to dye my hair blond nor do I mean by just speaking with an accent....its the way I think and handle things now are getting different from the old me....

1) I starts to complain and get annoyed when people do not treat me right or being rude to me...
Compared to the old me...I would just brush it off and start whining to my friend while did
absolutely nothing about it.
2) I actually love eating my bread with Vegemite....and I found it absolutely revolting when I first
came here
3) I will actually start ranting if I can't go out when the weather is beautiful outside and felt like I did not fully utilize the good weather. The old me will absolutely would not give two cents about the weather.....
4)I love my coffee.....and I don't drink coffee at all back then and the only time I do drink coffee is those ice-blended stuff from coffee bean.
5)I can't live without my soy milk with twix bix...back home I don't eat breakfast mind you
6)I sip and enjoy my wine every time when I find time or extra cash
7)Love barbie (as in BBQ-ing at the park during summer) and sleep on the grass in the park while watching the day goes by.... old me will think there are worms and dog shit everywhere and will refuse to even walk on grass...
8)Exercise in the gym which is absolutely a joke to me when I am back in Malaysia
9)Having salad during lunch...something that will rise my eyebrow when you tell me to eat that back home and think you must be shitting me
10)Singing birthday songs with hip hip hooray at the end............

I don't know if it is the environment or the people around me that makes me change or find it interesting to change or something else. Nor can I explain why I change or how I change. That is why it triggers something in my head when I realise just now I am actually loving Vegemite on my toast which I find it disgusting when I first came here......Ofcouse you might think I am trying to fit in or trying to be one of "them" but the fact is that I did not force myself to like things they like nor did I try to change myself. It just happened without me realising it....but ofcouse many things in me remain as I do not speak accent when I am speaking with my fellow msian friends nor do I stop eating rice or dim sum and I still love my nasi lemak and chicken rice or the fact I still fucking says "soh hai" and "diu" to people who understand it...well I am still the vulgar old me......Well I guess in the process of adaptation you just evolve and change.....for the better or worse I am not sure but I do hope that I remain the "soh hai" friend to you all and not loose it........

Steamboat

2008-06-26T01:27:00.004+08:00

Yes it has been officially winter for sometime now and it can freeze my ass off sometimes...especially when 3 side of my room are windows...the cold air just come slipping through and no matter how many heater you switch on it just doesn't really matter.....well that's winter for me at the moment....

For me I actually love winter and autumn more than any other season.....just because I get to wear cool winter clothing with boots...just because no one knows you are putting on weight because you can cover it up with those thick thick jackets of yours....=)))

But another joy for me during winter is steamboat............weeeeeeeeee.......... as far as I remember I have always enjoy steamboat even when I am back home.....but it is totally a different feel to it when you eat it during winter when its cold out side and you are warm and happily inside your house eating steamboat.....just love that feeling where the tong yam soup makes your taste bud tingle yet craving for more minus the sweating part....see?! I told you its the perfect time to have it....hahahahaha

These photos were taken earlier on during autumn when we are still able to dine alfresco in our backyard. We spend quite a bit on that day for all the ingredients and it is absolutely marverlous.....hohohohoho....and what makes it OTT is that we have beer and wine as well.....not to mention I also have cincalok chili sauce to go with it =)))))))))))) double wham....woohoooo....

Well I will stop talking and let the photos do its magic.....by the time you guys finish reading this post I bet you will

a) Drive to Murni right away and have a pot of tong yam bee hon as substitute

b) Invite friends the very day to go eat steamboat

c) Start cursing at me

My dear Cadden St housemates....Love you all!!!!!

Undecided

2008-06-24T13:48:00.002+08:00

Yes its over....
Its not officially over yet....cause the results are yet to come out.....and when it does and you surely know you have pass everything...then thats the time where you can jump up and down or maybe running around naked while splashing champagne at road siders......
You can call me a paranoia cause lately I just can’t stop but thinking about all the consequences that I have to face if I fail something. Usually when I share it with a friend or colleague they will dismiss me and telling me that I think too much. Fair enough it might not be a big deal after all because you can always retake it again. At this point I usually do not stress to them that what kind of shit I have to get through again if that would have happen.

Fair enough, these 2 years is not that long but it’s long enough to take you half way through hell and come back again for some breather. Yet when you are just catching your breath, suddenly something kick you from behind and you fall right into that hell hole again and yet have no idea when you will get to climb back out for a break.

That’s how it has been and will be for the next few years. Sometimes I just felt so tired that I wish I can hide under my warm blanket and not wake up. But I guess that is what growing up is all about. Giving up things you would feel like doing but doing something which you are require to do.

Yipeeeeeeeeeee My Best Ever Birthday CAKE!!!!!

2008-06-03T22:31:00.006+08:00

I know I know...

Its been ages since my birthday and its unforgivable to only blog about it now...but you know I'm a busy person ei!! hahahahhahaha ....anyway...back to that day...

It was a lousy birthday eve...I did real badly for my finance analysis and I have absolutely no mood after the class....it was 7.30pm that time...dinner time....so I numbly went back home. To my utter disappointment...no dinner was cooked.....and everyone seems to be occupied with something...so in the end I end up having dinner with just one of my housemate Sam.

I was so down about the exam and the fact that nothing much is on this year's birthday...and I have tried calling some of my usual eat out buddies to join me for dinner but all of them seems to be occupied as well.....

The weather was cold that night so I suggested to have curry and in the end we went to that Two Fat Indians again in Mt Lawly. I though to myself since its my birthday eve so might as well be extravagant......and then we ordered 4 dishes and 1 bottle of rose wine.....muahahhahaha and I have one hell of a dinner......but the bill total is kinda crazy and I don't wan to mention about it...but since its my birthday eve and my gift for myself so I guess its alright.
After the dinner, its still early.....and so I suggested to go karaoke....hahahahhahaha and then off the two little idiots went for karaoke...after one hour we could not sing no more so we decided to go home......then my housemate says he have stomach ache and we need to rush back quickly...so off we went.........

After reaching home....I saw tiong hoe in front of my house....and I was like...why are you doing here at this hour? Then he say I cannot come to see you at this hour one meh! ....=_=" wah den I ok lo ...didn't layan him much cause I am on the phone...but as soon as I got into the house...someone played the birthday song.....and I though oh how sweet my housemate actually celebrating for me.....so I walked into the hall.........................and OMG.............................EVERYONE IS THERE!!! Everyone as in those who told me that he is working and didn't pick up my phone, who went to toilet and didn't pick up my phone...and those who didnt want to come out for dinner cause its too cold outside...............

hahahhahahaha....how sweet!

Honestly......this is my very 1st surprise birthday party....and I am really touched as some of them have work tomorrow and yet they still show up at 12am to celebrate with me......

I hereby officially Thank each and everyone of you who have came!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Love you all!!!!!! Oh yea and I have the Best EVER CAKE!!!!!!

There is even a small cow with wings there for me!!!! COWCANFLY!!! yeah!!!!!!

Thanks to Verene, this cake was prebooked one month before the birthday and I seriously think that is a very thoughtful thing......again thanks for such a fabulous cake.....I really love it!!!!!!

I didn't have any photo with me cause I have yet to get it from Verene and the others. The two pictures I have above is stolen from Verene's blog...*sry babe* hahahahahhahaha.......

That night I drink alot.....the usual reason ....cause I am the birthday girl.....I think to sum it up I drank around 12 glasses of wine.....white, red, rose....you name it......and then in the end we all ended up looking like this

LOL.........this picture really amuse me everytime I see it....hahahahaha
This is another fabulous birthday for me...........THANKS again PPL!!!!!!

My New PlayToy!!!! Woohoo....

2008-05-17T23:07:00.003+08:00

Muahahhahaha......

Finally...... something to make my days a tat bit more interesting.....My new LG U990....mauhahahahahahaha.

Yes I am nuts cause I can't stop smiling after I got my phone. Well in case you guys must be wondering how come I have the money to buy a new phone....nay...its free...ABSOLUTELY FREE...muahahhah.....ok here is a little story before you guys start throwing stones and screaming at me....hahahaha

It has been almost two years since I last sign up for the phone contract and it is ending soon on Aug. The sony black phone I brought back last time was the phone that they provide me with and every month I have to pay extra $10 for it cause when I apply for that phone, it was one of the latest model, thus the price. So all in all every month I pay $59 dollars for my phone bill n phone set.

I was actually waiting patiently for Aug to come along so that I could get a new phone when I renew my contract, but the thing is that Verene is going back home soon and I would like to give my mom the phone along with 2 other's that I have bought long time ago. So eventually I went into the shop and ask if I could end the contract earlier and pay for it.

To my surprise, they eventually waive off the 3 months fee...which means that the old phone now is mine and I do not need to pay anything extra and I can start a new contract right away with a new phone.....at that point I was like....HELL YEA!!!!

I always wanted a palm cause I am gonna work soon and it might come in handy....but when I saw this LG U990...I know I got to have it...uahahahahahahahaha

Alot of their features are somehow similar to iPhone...but what I think it totally rocks is that it has a 5MP camera.....including zoom with the lens.....muahahahahhhahahah.....and ofcouse not to mention the sleek design and touch screen.....

Anyway...I took some photos of it to let you all admire my new phone =))))))

Although this phone looks way better than my old phone, but somehow I pay less....my plan is a $49 dollar cap plan. It comes with a certain amount of credit and free calls, so if you overuse you will have to pay extra...but that is quite rare as it contains $300 dollars credit and 200 free min if you are calling to another 3 mobile user.
As I have mention I need to pay extra $10 for my phone set each month. But this new phone is free on the $49 cap....so means that now instead of paying $59 dollars I am only paying $49 dollars per month....
muahahahahahahhah...............HOOOORAYYYYYY for myself and 3 mobile........muahahahahhah

2 Fat Indians // Must Wine Bar

2008-05-06T00:51:00.008+08:00

It has been quite a long while since I eat posh.....posh does not necessary means expensive fine dinning but just a place nice enough for you to actually dress up, have fun and take heaps of random photo then feel good the next day when you look at it.
Well that was exactly what I did yesterday night!!!

A good sleep till late in the morning is something everyone might once in a while should do and I did just that. I woke up at around 11am and went to have brunch with Verene, Wenda, Jeannet and my housemate Sam. We went to our usual dim sum place "Golden Century" and had a great meal. The bill came out to be a shocking one, but oh well...shit happens...and its too good a day to spoil it on that anyway. We went to the weekly market again for fruits and vegi. On my way I met Tiong Hoe and invited him to go for coffee with us.
It is a random one and we all ended up at Cottesloe, Blue Duck Restaurant for coffee. We all had a good time chatting and enjoying the seaside view.

On the way back home, Wenda suggested Indian food for dinner and we just could not decide. Later on we finally make up our mind and we also decided to dress up for the occasion. Joining the dinner are all my hsemates, Melissa, Sin and Sam.

The food were better than I expected. We had 5 dishes and saffron rice. We had the goat curry, chic pea curry, fish , vegetables and mint chicken. All were pretty good and some of the curries were actually quite spicy to our surprise. If there is something I do not like about the restaurant then it has to be the service. I was there for 10mins sitting and no one even pour us water. They just left us there and thats it! One of the waiter walked around us for a few times but did not even bother to fill our glasses....but judging from the way he serve, he must be new...so I guess I should not be harsh...and my friend book a table for 7 and it ended up written as 3....
Oh well I'll just let the picture do the talking....

Well these are just a few of the pictures Verene manage to snap before we all gobble up the lot... For entertaining purpose....LOL...I am putting up some of the funny looking and "random" photo up .

The bill to our surprise is not expensive at all....this only cost us around $19 dollars each. What a deal!!! After the dinner we hop to the opposite wine bar for some drinks.

The night have a small twist to it! When we went there, it was pretty pack. The manager came and I ask if we could get sits for 7 and he show us a standing table....I then request again for some sitting table cause I am too lazy to stand and drink....and to our surprise...he ask if we would like to sit in the champagne lounge.....and I was like...hmmm...ok.....maybe the second floor will have some table sits for us because that place looks like a dinning area for customers. But weird enough we walked pass that area and went through a dark corridor.....and he punch some numbers on the door lock and off we went to a carpeted interior with posh lighting....hmmm...sill don't look right and then to our surprise...its like a VIP lounge.....where they have sofa sits and a huge liquor cabinet and bar fill with all sorts of liquor.......For a split second I still can't really register why the hell did he bring us up here.....but anyway...we just sit down and make ourselves comfortable. There are only 2 host there for the room. We were the second gang to get in there so it is still pretty empty. The room is a small chic room with wall papers and hanging lights....nice sofa and chairs. Not a huge room but cosy and chic, and obviously we are in the wrong room. The host starts introducing himself and start blabbing out all the information about the room and the liquor and champagne available.....and when I check the drink menu...my eyes pop out abit....the cheapest champagne is $99 and the rest is like @_@".......

Wenda and Melissa are not champagne people so we ended up ordering white wine. The one he introduce was a pretty good one but I have totally forgotten what it was called cause of the long and fanciful name it has....and that bottle cost $70...not too bad if u split it among 7 people...LOL...we had some oyster as well. But in the middle of the event...some random guy pops up and offer us champage....LOL....ofcouse we accept....DUH.....hahahhahaha from what I heard that bottle was not cheap so hooray for us!!!!!!

Well enough said, here are some photos as well.

Looking OhhLALA......

At the end of the night...all of us went home with a happy grin....

Blake St Cafe

2008-04-21T17:21:00.004+08:00

Another week another foodie post, Hooray!!!!!
Well its nothing that great actually. Going out for breakie or branch have become part of our weekly routine now after my new housemates have move in. Most of the time Wei Sin, Sam and myself will wake up early in the morning to buy our vegies and fruits in the weekend market in Subiaco for the week. After getting the necessity, we will usually head out to find something to fill our stomach be it western or eastern food. Last two weeks we have been eating western and were quite happy with it. The week before was Coode St Cafe and this time it is Blake St Cafe in North Perth.
This restaurant was introduce to me by Ying Yee and she told me the Moroccan lamb slow cooked with herbs were good. So I decided to give it a try and called Tiong Hoe along with us. When we arrive it was actually pretty pack, but what I did not expect was that TH being such smart ass this time have actually book a table for us before hand!!!! What a surprise!!! Or else we might have to stand and wait for a sit.
The service is quick and friendly. We are starving and we ordered the food without much hesitation. All of our food arrive pretty fast and coffee were actually not bad. I ordered my Soy Mocha and I have to say it taste pretty nice. When our food arrive we dig right in. I ordered the Moroccan lamb as mention and I can't remember what is the name for it (Sha Shuku I think), Sam ordered the full monty, Wei Sin ordered the same one but with Moroccan sausage in it instead and TH ordered some sandwich. Our herbs with lamb and sausage are actually pretty good. It comes with some bread and butter for us to eat it with the Sha Shuku and on top of the pan it has two eggs as well. I have to say I love the eggs cause it is cooked just as the way I like it....Creamy yoke not runny.....Nice.......
Sam was abit disappointed with his cause apparently the potatoes are overcooked in the fryer and it ends up being really hard and dry. His scramble eggs on the other hand is a tat bit too salty and the sausages too oily. TH didn't make much comment about his sandwich so I guess its pretty alrite.
After finishing our food we were sitting there comfortably chating. That morning was so darn cold...........and it feels nice n warm inside the restaurant while sipping our coffee. To my horror I found out something that really turns me off.............When I was looking around the the cafe I saw the lady making the coffee......and then..........she left the steamer unwipe........when I saw the steamer it was thick with milk scum on it....................ggeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.................this come to me as a surprise as people who are able make a decent cup of coffee are pretty fussy with the hygiene of the machine knows better to give the steamer a wipe each time it is use and that lady apparently don't care about that.......
I won't say this place is totally a bad experience but I might not go there anytime soon cause its not that near my place and it is not that good to get me coming again anytime sooner. But I would say give it a try if you want to try something different cause it serves something rather unusual from the other cafes who serve breakie.

Foodie Post!!!! (Restaurant ToTo)

2008-04-17T13:26:00.006+08:00

Erlo People....

Thx for all the support and encouraging words..I'm really touch. You guys have no idea how much it meant for me. Btw Xs I got your msg...just that I don't have enough credit to msg you back and you aren't online at all for these past few days, so I apologize for the late reply and would like to thank you for your msg too!

Just to show you guys that I'am right on track and doing fine after that ordeal, here is a simple foodie post. This restaurant is nearby my place (East Victoria Park). I got to know this place because my housemates are currently working there, and after countless times of telling me how fantastic the food is....I decided to judge it for myself.

I went there two days in a role after I tried their food....so you can imagine how nice the food is.....and most of you who knows me knows that I don't go to the same restaurant twice in a role. The first day, I went there and could not decide what to eat since they have like 200 dishes for you to choose from. So I ask the owner to recommend me something, and he pointed at the "Vietnamese Pork Rasher Soup Noodles". When the dish came.....It felt like I just went back to Msia for a bowl of noodles.....cause it is exactly how the soup is back home....but I have to say...even better.....the soup is so clear yet full of flavours.....

The next day after a gym session with Ying Yee....I recommended her to go to this place and off we went there for lunch. This time I manage to snap some photos for the blog.....I had the "Pork and Prawn Noodle Soup" and Ying Yee had the "Satay Beef Noodles" All was great and will definitely come back again...

An Entry of Whinning...........

2008-04-04T20:31:00.004+08:00

No....I did not see it coming...I do expect quite a share bit of hardship these coming few years....but I did not see that coming....I felt like I just hit the wall with a 100km/kph force........My head is spinning.....somemtimes I wonder how far or how low can one sink when they are in thier darkest times....well these stuff proves to me that when God is testing you, he makes sure you get the hit badly so you won't forget it.

I am not sure why stuff have to turn out like that....I don't know if you guys have watch that movie which was acted by Will Smith " The Persue Of Happiness". My current life is just like him at the moment.... Running two ways to meet days end and burning out.... but what I am glad about is that non of my dearest left me in the mist of all these chaos but instead stick to me closer than ever before.....That I have to be greatful.One say you will see who is your friend and who is not when shits happens and that I will totally agree with. Only friends will lead a helping hand or eventually call to ask if you are alright. I have to say I am glad to have friends of such to go through this period with me.

That day when my cousin told me, " You better take care cause when you graduate you will have a huge debt falling on your shoulder" Well at that time I though yea sure enough, the money I borrowed for studies and stuff.....not gonna be that hard....
Today I called home and found out something that I did not expect.....Soon our house will no longer belong to us............Well not under our name anyway......and that really kick my head abit as to register or digest what mom has just said.....All I can say is.......things have turn into such a point where for a while you just don't know how to react.

I asked myself again and again did I make a wrong choice to study overseas and things went bad? Or partially because dad lost his job? Or because of the bad enocomy?....It just don't make sense........Rewind it to a few years back....I was still the happy mummy's little girl with everything provided for me in a silver platter..........Know nothing about worrying......money? Not a problem, just have to ask dad and he will give me some........Rental? What the hell is that?........Bills? Non of my business....dads gonna pay that...
Where are my sugar muffin rainbow filled days........................where have they all gone? Did someone took it away from me while I am sleeping? Please give it back........ I am getting really tired now..........

Finally........

2008-03-12T23:06:00.003+09:00

2008-02-01T20:37:00.000+09:00

After reading a few post from my cousin, she had this list of sayings by other people from this socialmoth application in facebook. She had posted heaps of them. After reading all of it I felt like there are a few ones which are too good to not share them. So here are the ones which I think are bloody good.

1. Time change. Your close friend becomes your worst enemy, your boyfriend becomes a prick, lollipops turn into cigarettes; the innocent ones turn into sluts, soda becomes vodka; bikes become cars, undies turn into g-strings. Remember when getting high meant swinging on the playground? When protection meant wearing a helmet? When the worst things you could get from boys were cooties? Race issues were about who ran the fastest? War was only a card game the only drug you knew was cough medicine the only things that hurt you were skinned knees and goodbyes only meant until tomorrow and we all couldn't wait to grow up.

2. If you can't handle me at my worse, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

3. You never realize just how much you miss someone until you see them again.

4. There's beauty in everything, I just suck at finding it.

5. To offer a man friendship when love is in his heart, is like offering a man a loaf of bread when he is dying of thirst

6. Funny at how when you stop chasing something, it tends to start chasing you

7. Those who criticize our generation forget who raised it.

8. Religion has done so much more harm than good for this world.

9. It annoys me how i hold out on plans with someone and then they dont happen and I wind up doing nothing.

10. Where the fuck is my Prince Charming. I dealt with so many frogs.

11. The reason why your enemies can't betray you is because you didn't trust them to begin with - it is your friends whom you blindly hand the stabbing knife to.

12. Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

13. And because it is easier to say "I'm fine" than to explain what's wrong.

14. Don't fall for the guy with the goregous eyes until you know the secrets behind them...

15. Hurt me once, shame on you. Hurt me twenty six times, and I set your fucking car on fire.

16. Advertisments rape women of their confidence.

17. DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE IN YOUR PAST; THERE'S A REASON THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT TO YOUR FUTURE!!!

18. It's sad when people you know, became people you knew.

19. Looking at cleavage is like looking at the sun. You don't stare at it. It's too risky. Ya get a sense of it and then you look away

20. None die virgin in this world. World fucks everyone.

21. I should get a fucking Oscar for pretending I didn't care about what you said last night.

22. A man never knows how to say goodbye; A woman never knows when to say it.

23. When I was in grade school, they told me to write down what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, I told them they didn't understand life.

24. f you speak philosophy in ways that ordinary people can understand and contemplate, chicks will throw themselves on you.

25. A broken heart is a heart that has felt love.

26. Meeting you was fate; becoming you friend was a choice; falling in love with you was beyond my control

27. No matter how much you trust a person, it seems that they're the one who always let you down.

28. Bombing for peace is like fucking for virginity.

29. When you meet that special someone you'll understand why it didn't work out with anyone else.

30. The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but still hold hands.

31. Sometimes people run away just to be alone but sometimes they run away to see who cares enough to follow them.

32. If you can't handle the truth, quit asking for honesty.

33. There's a little truth behind every "just kidding", a little curiousity behind every "just wondering", and a little emotion behind every "I don't care"

34. You're single not because no one wants you; you're single because you aren't going to put yourself out there just like that. You're single because you have standards that aren't met yet. Be proud of that.

35. People will forget what you said and did but they will never forget how you make them feel.

There you go folks! If you can finish reading all 35 and still reading this sentence, I bet you have learn something from it...cause I did....

Its good to be back HOME..

2008-01-04T02:45:00.000+09:00

After alot of trouble packing and boxing up my stuff before coming back....I am finally back home. Every time when I step out from the plane.....I will be greeted by the stickiness and humidity....that is the feeling of home I guess...I ate tosei masalah and roti canai for breakkie that morning....its good....It seems like I have forgotten how good just a plain slice of roti canai with dahl can taste like and how good it is to have breakkie with mom in the morning....
Its been a long time since I have breakkie with my mom....breakkie back in Perth is good..toast with jams, full mounty, salmon bagels, egg benedict and finish off with a cuppa....those were one of the things that I grow to love about Perth..but the breakkie here ...well...just taste like home. Home as in what I have eaten for the pass 20 years of my life, home as in what I have live dearly and closely to my heart. Yet strange enough....sometimes I do felt more comfortable in Perth than I am back home. Then I starts to wonder what went wrong, as in how can just a mere two years abroad can change so many things. Maybe its the unfairness that the gov back here treated my parents and my kind or it is the mere fact that my family have become poorer and poorer each passing year. Then the opportunity to migrate become more and more appealing.....it is sad that things have turn out so weirdly that I come to dislike my own and favour another country more.
I guess this time back home makes me ponder and wonder more than my last trip. Reason being is that I am graduating soon...it is like a serious cross road for me....I bet you bitches faces this too but then again I can't say we r exactly the same, we all have our own road to travel and goals to archive. Growing up can be hard...but becoming wiser is even harder...........So much to do, so many things to be expected and yet so little motivation.......

OMFG........I can't believe myself...4 doing that.....

2007-12-18T01:24:00.000+09:00

As I woke up from yet another day with flu and dizziness..it is already noontime.....one of the rare mornings which I can actually sleep in late....I can't believe I went straight to the laptop and started watching Iryu Team Medical Dragon (FYI its a Japanese drama). After a while I started to get hungry and I was annoyed by the fact that I am too lazy n poor to go out and get take away...too lazy to cook too.....but there ain't much left in the fridge cause I am going back home soon so I'm trying to clear most of my foodie in the fridge anyway. In the end I choose instant noodles....just to make it look healthier I put spring onion and coriander on top....=_=" and I eat it while watching the drama........
After that it is about time to fetch Wenda off to the airport and I went out. We reached the airport at around 3.30pm and had a snack in one of the cafes in the airport. She had a smoked salmon bagel and I took half of it......at around 4.30pm I went to work....
Then suddenly I felt something is amiss...........I still could not figure it out what................then all of a sudden I finally realise what is that missing part.................OMFG..............I FORGOTTEN TO BRUSH MY TEETH FOR THE WHOLE FUCKING DAY..........................it is like a volcanic eruption just happened inside my brain.....how da fuck can I forgotten all about that?!?!?!?!?!? This is so so so omfg..........I am so fucking embarrassed....I am so worried that the customer might smell the bad breath..............seriously........It might sound funny but it is not when you have to open your mouth the whole time consciously knowing you are woofing out bad smelling breath to your customer.............awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.........
....................Luckily I have some chewing gums in my bag to save the day....I mean night.........geeeezzzzz =_="

The Fine Dinning Experince....

2007-12-11T17:34:00.000+09:00

A few weeks back, I went to the Loose Box with Verene and her sister Wenda.....hohohoho....I have to tell you this is the very first time I actually am very satisfied with EVERY SINGLE DISH.....it is a painful price to pay as the whole 4 course meal cost around $135 dollars......n tat would be RM378 ....... =_=" I felt like I have just ate gold bars for dinner....

Although I am so brook at that time that I have to practically owe Wenda $30 dollars for that meal .....but we have promise each other that we go there after our exam and I have make the booking way before hand anyway...so its too late to turn back..... But then again...I did not regret a single bit after tat meal....Well I think you will understand why when I show you some of the pictures.

All of the picture here are taken from food sites and the official web from loose box itself...I myself did not take any photo that night cause I am too busy eating.....Sry...LOL....

The whole course splits into 4 part as I have said earlier....it comes with appetizer, entree, main and a desert.

For the appetizer I choose the La Gambas du Golfe D'Exmouth en pate de brick ....LOL...to cut the crap its a Fresh Exmouth Tiger prawn, with basil leaf, pate de brick, cured pineapple and passion fruit sauce.

Well mine does not exactly looks like that but this is one of the pictures I can find anyway....LOL....Mayb they change their presentation of the food every now and then.

As for the entree...I have the Carpaccio de Filet de Boeufto , its some cured beef fillet cut paper thin , basil, parmesan, celeriac, apples, horseradish, sea salt, black pepper and olive oil. I think that dish just exploded in my mouth....the flavours....the crunchiness of the apple and radish....and smooth sauce that goes with the raw beef.....I can only come up with this word to describe the whole dish....OMFG.......I though Japanese are good at raw beef....didn't know the french can do it as well....

As if that is not enough......The main is just arriving.....omg* if I didn't control myself well enough I might just pee in my pants*....LOL....that night I want to be as adventurous as possible...so I pick something that I have not try before which is rabbit meat for main. Le lapin de cabane aux prunes et Calvados..it is a white farmed rabbit, "jamón de serrano", roasted with porcini, served with prunes marinated in calvados.Rabbit and calvados sauce.

Sad enough I can't seem to find the photo for that one....but I found what Wenda is eating so I think I will show you as well....
Her is the La côte de Chevreuil de Margaret River aux choux rouges, Margaret River venison, grilled (rare/medium rare) served on bed of red cabbage and beetroot from our garden with a juniper berry glaze and caramelised pear.

and then here comes the DESERT........OMG..........LOL......I choose the La Tarte au Citron de 'Denis Ruffel' in Paris, its basically a lemon tart with an apple sorbet by the side....all I can say is it makes me change my opinion about lemon tart...I have worked in Dome n the lemon tart there is absolutely sour....so sour that you have to eat it with ice-cream in order to cover that....but this tart is a darling.....not only its not too sour, it have a sweet after taste as well....and the apple sorbet just go nicely with it....and again I can't find the picture...

But I can show you what Verene ate.... she had the Le Nougat Glazé ,French traditional nougat, served frozen with a strawberry coulis and caramel strands

Chocolate crape: Les Crêpes ChocolatinesHomemade crepes filled with frangipani crème, rolled and baked, served with chocolate sauce and home made vanilla ice-cream.

All in all it is a very very satisfying meal. The whole course took us around 2.5 hours to finish. Not only they have fresh bake breads, but they give out fresh salads which are freshly grown by themselves and also sorbet. That night, it seems that we are the only trio that went for fun, most of the people who went there that night are either celebrating their anniversary or birthday or something. LOL...... It is a very nice place, when I say fine dining it is indeed fine cause not only the place is nice but the people who went there actually dress up as well. Girls with dress and guys with collar shirts or some with suites.

It might cost an arm and a leg....but I would say it is definitely worth my hard earn money....

Cheers to Loose Box!!!!

Cheers to Chef Alain Fabregues.

Something Random

2007-12-04T23:19:00.000+09:00

Not sure why but sitting on my bed....listening to those chill out oldies make this moment something.....Hmm...How should I describe it...Something that makes me content. I am content with the way life is now. I like my life at this moment looking around my room. I felt like I did archeived something through out these 2 yrs. To others it may be something insignificant but I know I am making baby steps. I am not so sure what my future will holds and brings, but that what makes life interesting isn't it?
When you open your eyes the next morning, everything is brand new again. I wish I can go somewhere exotic and have a longweekend. To rest my head abit. hmmm....seems like every sentence is a random one. SOmething my brain wants me to write. I do think that I over stress my brain sometimes. It does not hold alot of capasity...I know..... but still... maybe I do need to take a rest as in stop thinking and worrying about things around me. Or going to happen or happening . I guess sometimes you just have to let things go and be part of the flow. Iknow I want to go agaist it sometimes just to see what will happen. But it require too much strengh that I am unable to give now. Maybe later.....when I hve fully recharge myself....when I am good and well again mentally n physically......

This is what happen when your in da car alone for too long.....

2007-11-04T21:28:00.000+09:00

As usual, I went in for my 5am shift today at MMB *just incase you donno what is the name of the place I work in....its call mattresblue bar....dumb name I know...it have absolutely nothing to do with the bar itself...n I get customer keep asking why the name is call MMB....=_="*. Anywayz, thats not what I wanted to talk about....lets skip that....by the end of the shift, I felt like shit because the bar usually looks shitty when I get in.....This is mainly due to the shitty people from the last shift who don't care jack shit about cleaning up their shit before leaving the shitty place. So it ended up that I have to clean up their shit and the shit that the customers leave behind as well.....All in all it is a shitty business in MMB........alrite enough of shit...that is not what I wanted to talk about either.....
When I am on my way home....driving.....I switch on to my radio....playing some of my cds.....then I started singing along.....after a while I realise a few things:

1. I CAN"T SING JACK SHIT- Point being is that I have always been a lousy
singer and yes....I don't need you guys to tell
me that...I found it out long time ago... its just
that I still can't accept the fact....

2. My CAR IS SLOW- Yes eventhough I am really proud of my car since I
bought it myself....but I have to admit it is an old
feller...older than my younger brother....its 17
years old......it is a fine car...but when the petrol price is
being bitch...you will just forget altogether that you can
actually accelarate on the high way . While me being
stingy about my petrol....its fucking summer here...and
it is impossible to stay inside da car
without aircon....after switching on the aircon.....my car
is practically crawling after that....although people here
are nice enough not to honk you....but you can so see it
written all over their face saying..."fucking asian"..=_="

3. My PETROL TANK IS ALWAYS ON E- as I have mention....petrol price here
change everyday....being a stingy ass
as I am....I always try to wait for the
lowest price...which means....I have
to wait....and wait ....and wait....until
I can wait no more and the fuel light is
blinking......seriously....sometimes I
just wish I fucking own SHELL.....

4. I AM GETTING TAN- This is not something us typical asians like...I was so
glad during winter because the sun is not that
bad...now....I look like a cross over between malay
and indian.........you just can't hide from the
sun...=_="

5. I AM HUNGRY- I am always hungry now a days......as in seriously....I
constenly think of eatin ..even when I am sleeeping ..I will
dream about eating my mom's "pan mien" and when I am
studying I will think about eating "lou shu fan goreng" and
when I am taking a poo......I will think about what should I
eat later for dinner......seriously...its a vicious cycle...=_="

Those are the stuff that keeps running through my mind like a tape when I am driving....It is only 15min drive from my house to the airport...and I already have so many shits running across my mind...I wonder what about those who are stuck in the traffic in KL for one hour.......I wonder what kinda shit runs through their mind.....

I felt so envious when I see them wearing the regarla while taking photos with family and friends...dammit...I have to wait....till next year.
Btw this post has nothing to do with food or myself....I just add this post just for the sake of adding something into this blog..hahahaha....or else you guys might think I am dead or something. I am gonna make my 1st ever review on movie and song artist.
Recently I found a very interesting movie call "Sakuran". Its about this girl call "Kiyoha" who got sold into the geisha place then turn out to be the most successful of them all. Well it is something like Memoirs of a Geisha but more dramatic. Dramatic in a sense that the colours and costums were really bright and the way that Anna Tsuchiya acted. She is a good one. I enjoy the movie alot. Here is the Trailer.
For your information this movie is in crunchyroll.

But there is something else that caught my attention as well. Its the soundtrack. The soundtrack in this movie is really light hearted and some really dramatic. It took me a while to track down who sang it, but finally I got hold of the singer's name. Her name is Shiina Ringo. After watching her in youtube....I got addicted to alot of songs as well. Here is one of the song that was used in that "Sakuran" movie. The MV is absolutely cute and I am sure it will put a smile on your face as it has put mine.

This is one of my fav song from her. Some of her songs are really good which are worth a listen. The others would be "Meisai, Odaijin, Papaya and Mango, and Kuki".

What Age Can Do To You.............

2007-09-04T17:30:00.000+08:00

Yes its been ages....I bet you guys thought I'am dead or something but no....I am still alive and breathing....Well lately something keeps bugging my mind....I was wondering what can I possibly do to make myself more happier nowdays? Other than shopping...cause the sad news is that I don't have any extra cash to burn anyway....
So one fine day, when I was cooking my dinner...I found this potatoe which is unedible in my pantry...unedible as in all the small little spouts are coming out from that lil potatoe...then I was like why not I plant it behind the yard....maybe a month later I will have unlimited supply of potatoes.....Smiling and happily congrating myself of that genius plan...I planted that potato the next day.
Fast forward to weeks later....Two tall potato plants spouted out and I WAS SO FUCKING PROUD of myself....Then another thought striks me ....why don't I plant more stuff? Maybe Il be so fucking happy that I will fly...LOL....Yea so then I when to "Bunnings" on Tuesday which is my offday to get the plants n material i needed to start my lil farm.....
If anyone would have told me planting is such hardwork and will make ur body ache like shit the next day....I probably wouldn't have done it.But partially I'm to blame as well cause it gets a lil over my head and I bought way too many plants....so in the end I have to finish what I have started and get done with it..By the time I finish and I look around....YES YES YES YES...........I AM SO FUCKING PROUD OF MYSELF.........I AM A GENIUS........FUCKING GENIUS I TELL U......

Those are my babies now......They are growing nicely behind my house....ofcouse there are more than what I have shown you...cause if not I would not have spent 5 fucking hours on pulling the weeds out....digging the roots out from the soil and making the small mountains.....by the time I finish....I was already cursing non-stop......Then again....I felt really good everytime when I look at the garden.....

Stuff that I have planted:
Tomatoes
Cherry Tomatoes
Potatoes
Stawberries
Cos Lettuce
Broccoli
Carrot
Onion
Spring Onion
Chocolate Mint leaves
Ginger Mint
Sage
Rockets leaves
Bak Choi

Impressive isn't it....mauhahahahahhaahahha Im so freaking cool..........As I have mention earlier....I wonder what can make me happy cause I have been doing nothing else other than going to uni and working all the time....Maybe last time I will just go walk around the mall and go for movies...yes those are the stuff I still do....but getting less.....now I just like to sit and home....drink my pepermint tea....cook my dinner and lunch....See I told you guys that I think we are getting old...I bet christal know what m I talking about....mauhahahaha....yea so this garden is like an intrinsic reward....satisfaction that money can't buy....

Dream Dinner Party

2007-08-13T23:07:00.000+08:00

Well.......as I was doing the regular....flipping tru some blogs of my family n frens....den I came across a post.....I got tagged....sometimes I consider tag is a total waste of time but I found this kinda interesting and it actually keeps me thinking hard about it...So I decided to go along with it.
If you could invite 10 people to a dinner party (5 if you don't feel like doing 10), who would you invite? They can be from the past or present. If they're dead, they can be temporarily resurrected for the party, but then they have to go back to being dead, because those are the laws of the universe.*LOL...I like this sentance*

My Guest List:

1. My Grannies- I have not seen my mom's dad before...So I guess it will be real
special to have him eating dinner with us. Not to mention my dad's father whom
I heard from my dad to be really found of me when I was born. I am the only
grandaughter whom he have actually given a gold bracelet to. Ofcouse last but not
least both my grandmother as well. Cause I really do miss them and it is still a
pain in my heart that I did not spend more time with them when they are alive. So
they will be the 1st one whom I will invite.

2.All my cousins- Weird enough....I have always think of them out of no where...just
because I grow up with them I guess..They are a part of me. I can say I have some
real retard cousins whom I consider a disgrace to the family *wink wink you know
who are u...da one who freaking tag me*LOL....but I still love them inside out no
matter what. And not to mention some of my cousins from my dad side whom I have
no idea how they look like. Its a shame that we do not contact each other because
of some weird siblings dispute among the parents. So yea...if all of us can sit
happily and have a decent meal I guess our grannies will be real proud and happy to
see that.

3.My Japanese host family- They gave me such a great time there that I don even want
to leave by the end of the trip. So it will be real cool that they can join the
dinner...n I miss saying "Itadakimas" to them as well...or Tadaima...or Hokaidi...

4. My Belgium host family- LOL...one word to describe them...insanely fun....its da
first time I ever had dinner with classical music on...its the 1st time ever I
have cocktails n get drunk in the living hall n start dancing to trance...gosh...
trance mate...something tat I am not really found of...and the 1st time I cook
some weird tom yam soup from those weird pack which almost kill everyone with the
spicyness of it...including myself...such found memories...its a must invite!

5. Nicolo Paganini- The legendary violinist....He can entertain us with his vionlin
and I can save some money from hiring a quartet.LOL.....Damn Im a cheap ass..

6. Zhu Yuen Zhang- The 1st emperor of Ming dynasty...LOL...I have not idea why but it
seems to be real intersting to have him around...hahaha when I was young...I am
always constantly make fun of because of my sir name and I always complain to my
dad about it....but somehow he told me that I should be proud cause our ancestor
is Zhu Yuen Zhang...=_="....which I seriously doubt...but anywayz...LOL...it
should be fun to see your so call "ancestor" sitting there with thier weird
ancient clothing eating steak ,drinking wine and cutting thier sterloin beef
with fork and knife...=) how amusing...mauhahahahah

7. Jamie Oliver- Yea...he is one of the cooks whom I really take notice of...I guess
not because of what he cooks but how he entertain and present himself when he
cooks...he make things look fun and happy. Yes I am still a cheapskate cause he
can cook for us as well...LOL....so I can eat nice food and not pay....hohoho

8.Wong Lee Hom- Hell yea....LOL...although I heard alot of negative stuff saying he
is arrogant n shit...but he is a hottie and he is one of my idols...hohohohoh....
I think all my cousins in the dinner will thank me....hahahahha....n yea he can
sing as well to entertain us when we are eating...hahahahhaha

9.Nat King Cole- I just think he is amazing....his voice can kill....seriously....

10. All my bitches- You know who you guys are....

So now I will tag:
All my bitches....if I don see you writting this ur dead.......
Those who read this..........

Things that we should do more often.....

2007-07-31T01:41:00.000+08:00

Yeah, finally I am writing......but seriously......what can I possibly write when I am just repeating the same shit for the past few months? Then again maybe I should squeeze something out from my genius brain to entertain you guys abit LOL.....
I guess maybe we are getting OLDER.....seems like we are constantly complaining or getting stress up about our current live.....but I wonder why'o why? Then I suddely this word pops into my mind...ignorant is bliss.....don't you agree? The more we learn the more we analyze stuff around us and the more we get stress up just because the situation does not apply to what we want or believe. When we are kids we want to be grown ups....when we are grown ups we wish we can be kids orever.....LOL....wth? To be honest, I do not regret a single bit of my life until now cause I would not have learn or be the way I am now if I haven't been tru what I have....but there is something that I regreat of not doing more.................TAKING HEAPS OF PHOTOS WITH MY FAMILY N BITCHES...........it is a lil bit sad when I didnt see much photos in my photo album or laptop , or recall the time where we actually take heaps n heaps of random photo....although we did take some but everyone is being so aware tat there are not much candid photos taken.....and I can say tat apply especially to me because I have this thinking that I look real ugly in photos so I end up hating taking photos most of the time. Then after watching this video from Mutya Buena (Real Girl) only did I realise that looking nice on a photo is not the point....the point is recording down that moment is far more important than me looking nice n pretty.....that moment of happiness, that candid look, that spark of joy!!! all these emotions are a one off thingy which you might not get to recapture it again! and that's the me, the me tat laugh and smile when I hear Christal ranting how hungry she always is with tat blur look and demanding the food to arrive faster, when jeannie always use cheebai and fuck in every sentence, when we all making fun of lishian small eyes.....and xia shien lanchaping without washing his hands (jk...).....LOL.....damn I can so feel tat XS wan to slap me now.....and ofcouse mitch wanting to shit in the middle of a mamak session but firmly says no to Murni toilet other than her own house toilet......LOL..... damn i feel like mitch is gonna slap me too when I come bck........=)
So guys, I promise myself that this time around when I come back, I will gonna start taking picture like a mad women! So much so that you think some paparazzi is around you....hehehehhehehe....and I want to paste the pictures on my bedroom wall so that whenever I am sad or unhappy.....those photos will be my remedy...... ...sounds like a good idea?????? and I wan to farking make scrap book with all these photos!!!!!! N let my kids, grandkids, ur kids n ur grandkids know that how colourful their grainnies life are!!!

BUT THE FUCKING PROBLEM IS............................

I DON'T HAVE A FUCKING CAMERA... =_="

So first thing comes first.....I will come bck with a camera!!!!!!!
OR.....I will bring cash home to get that fucking camera.....
OR..........you guys can get me one for my Christmas
present!!!!!!!! ISN'T THAT A FUCKIN GREAT IDEA?!?!?!?!?!
LOL........

p/s: I think everyone wans to slap me now....LOL......=_="

Anyway this is the song that I mention by Mutya Buena (Real Girl)

Happy Days...

2007-07-04T19:44:00.000+08:00

Yes...its easy to get lazy n not update your blog....
Yes...its easy to get bored with studying...
Yes...its easy to get sick of going to work everyday...
Yes...its easy to get homesick when you only get to see family n frens once a year....
Yes...its easy to get depress when shits happens and all ur bitches are no where near you...
Yes...its easy to get the idea of not waking up from sleep n just keep on sleeping

These are just a glimps of what it feels like inside me at the moment. After reading Christal post just now....it just slap me on my face again....Yes.....its been ages since I last have a really good chat with them....All of them....

Its easy to have an illusion...you might ask wut short of illusion? Yes...illusion of your best mates having much much more fun on the other side of the continent wherelse you thought you are the only miserable one who is stuck there...lonely and depress.....
Well I guess I am wrong then......I guess our bond is really thick....thicker than I have ever imagine cause we all felt miserable at some point where we all wish we were back in Murni eating our fav food and teh ais......yes those were the days...simple yet happy....n tat is wut u call HAPPYDAYS....

Yes.....n it scares me how much I rely on my best mates. All the depression, all the heart ache, all the worries....they are the one whom you turn to when shits happens....n true enough that you get ppl saying frens come n go....but NO!!!! Not for my bitches.....No one can replace them....Nothing can replace them ......Not new frens that I have make here, not ppl whom you hang out with....No......its just not the same.....its not that new frens aren't good enough...its just that you JUST JUST wish that they are here....Where art thou all my bitchesss??????......
As everyone do...I do take it for granted that we have each other to share our ups and downs... but now its getting harder n harder....yes we do talk....yes we do have some update on each other lives and what is going on.....but it is just not the same as sharing our thoughts and musings on the weekend over a glass of teh ais.....

I know we will still remember each other n have a special place in each other hearts....but I am still afraid of the idea that somehow as time flies by.....we will get used to the fact that we won't be able to hangout anymore and that is alright....NOOOOO.....its not alrite........NOOOOO its not right......I don wan to grow up.... Yes I am whinning big time....and Yes I am being emo.....but its winter and its raining all the time...so i guess its alrite for me to be emo....wuts even a better excuse I am a girl.....with monthly mood swings....yes we all blame it on PMS......

I just hope I can rewind.....and relive those happy days....but all said n done.....those were the great memories that I will bring with me happily to my grave when I die.....no regrets of knowing u all ......my dear bitches......

Car accident.....

2007-06-09T15:33:00.000+08:00

OMG........Car got crash...............
but ofcouse its not my car la....I mean Im such a good driver...hiah....but anywayz....yesterday after an exhausting shift, me n my frens decided to catch up with each other n wen for a quick bite...but den again we stop in a carpark along albany highway since we don't need 2 cars going to the same place when there are only 4 of us.....

Fair enough I park my car and wen inside my fren's car. All of a sudden, I saw this red car, which is suppose to stop at the T junction wen all out and bang on a white skyline which is going straight ahead. WOE.....tat was some kinda bang......it was so loud...and to be honest this is the 1st time I see a real car banging accident. Needless to say, both driver haf to come into the parking lot to solve the problem. But you see, that white skyline feller and his gang just finish eating in the cafe beside.....and there are 4 cars along with him....alll stoping and surrounding that little red car....and that red car??? LOL only one feller is inside and he is a chinese.....where else all of the other party are indos......I was like woohoo....someone is gonna start a fight.....I was so excited and actually hoping to see SOMETHING GOES WRONG....so I can actually dial 911......well yea im a lil bit scary but come on man....Perth needs some commotion going on sometimes to spice things up!!!!

BUT......................................................WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
Before they even say antyhing they start to SHAKE HANDS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! THAT IS SO WRONG.....They are suppose to gang bash tat lil chinese dude and then things get ugly!!!! SO WHY???????? WHY ARE THEY SHAKING HANDS??!?!?!!?!?!??? Not only tat, the other dudes were just standing there and started chatting about what happened...........

My hope of seeing a commotion.....shattered.................
If it is bck in Msia I think that chinese dude would have long been bash up and got sent to the hospital in no time.....damn man....ppl in Perth are so nice sometimes I wonder if they are for real.......

Addiction

2007-06-07T16:27:00.000+08:00

Yea....its been a while again...suppose to bury myself with books and making library my second home...but I fail badly...not only I did not get most of my studies done....I sleep more than I study to be honest. Every sem...its da same...everytime nearing exam I sleep more than usual....you can say I am seriously not someone who can study cause everytime I open the book....I feel like I rather sleep den to read tru everything.....dammit...and I felt so unhealthy and shitty at the same time. That is addiction no.1 for u in my list....SLEEPING.....

Ok, now addiction two will be coffee. Back home I don't even drink coffee at all, let say alone be an addiction of mine. But ever since I came to Perth, thats a totally different story. Coffee here is superb....and the weather and atmosphere around encourage you to get a cup of good coffee....everyday almost at 3pm...my brain will stop fuctioning and start thinking about coffee...Well how do I put it...coffee here is an art, its something that you truely enjoy and its actually nice to look at. They even have flavours in thier coffee, how cool is that? A few pointers, a good cup of coffee will have creamy foam, no air bubbles, if that feller who make ur coffee actually did that, he is half way to making one good brew. But ofcouse there are alot more to add on that makes a good brew but you guys wouldn't be interested anyway. So yea second addiction is.....COFFEE.....

This is how the coffee in Perth looks like

Moi third addiction will be sweets. Dammit....the patisserie here is good....not only did they make cakes and desert items a joy to look at, they taste as good. There is not a single time I sit in a cafe without a good cup of coffee and a piece of wutever desert that fancy me in the shelves. And boy.....you can nvr imagine what sort of things they have. Sometimes they just look normal but when you start eating it you can't seems to stop. Some looks fantastic just as they are nice to eat. One of my fav of all time is the chocolate tart and Rasberry tart......dammit....just the think will makes me drool....and wut is so cool about these desert is that they r limited...they don sit on the counter everytime you come....if ur lucky you get to see ur fav on the counter...if not you will have to find something new...yea so this is my no.3 addiction.....SWEETS

My fav chocolate tart.....damn they r fine.......

Yea and you berries clan always say I don relate my life to my blog....there you go....some of my addictions in Perth and what I like....lol.......

Potato Salad with Bacon and Salmon

2007-05-28T14:52:00.000+08:00

Aloha.........

Yea finally some foodie update.....LOL....I still haven't get my camera yet but today I created something nice. I think its really nicely done...so ofcouse I'm gonna show it off right??? hahahahaha Yea I would rather show it off then to keep it to myself......Oh well partially ofcouse to let you guys know I'm a genius.........hahahahhhaha....anywayz... everyone in the bitchyhood have a blog now.......and I guess it is something nice cause we can keep each other updated with stuff. But the downside is.................U FUCKING BITCHes DO NOT UPDATE UR BLOG AT ALL........so wuts the farking point of making it!!!!!! dammit!!!!! I wan to know more man!!!! Get ur lazy asses on the chair and start typing !!!!! argggggggg!!! N yea don't tell me you guys don have a life thats why no updates!!! tats just bullshit!!!!!

OK.......bck to my foodie........I got this recipe from Jamie Oliver at home series......after wacthing it I am drooling all over the palce...so I have decided to make it right away. The 1st time i make it does not turn out right cause i ran out of olive oil and i squeeze too much lemon juice.....results? sour like hell and taste real acidic.....awwwwww...... But den again this time around I did things rite....with the right amount of everything n it turns out really beautifully......but rather den just the salmon .....I grill a slice of bacon as well .....just to add some texture and flavour in....and it turns out to b nice as well............hahahahahahha....im smart......i don care wut u guys say........IM SMART.......no thats an understatement.........IM A GENIUS....mauhahahahah

Ingrediants:
1. Potato (small ones)
2. Capers
3. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
4. Smoke Salmon
5. Fresh Cream
6. Dill (herbs)
7. Lemon
8. Bacon
9. Salt and Pepper to taste
10. Mix Salad

Instructions:

Firstly boil the potatos, while that is boiling, get a big bowl to mix some dressing. Olive oil, pepper, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and some capers for the dressing. Mix these few things together....remember its 3:1 portion 3 portion of oil and 1 portion of lemon juice.....Now get ur another small bowl to put ur cream dressing in....fresh cream, just a few drips of lemon juice...lemon zest salt, pepper and olive oil....mix all these together to get a smooth mixture....if the cream is not runny enough...add more oil....Throw the bacon slices into the oven for 15min at 190C.

Peel the potato and cut it into quarter if its too big....put it in the olive oil dressing while its still hot and let it sit for a while to absorb the flavour. Now put a few slices of smoke salmon in the plate.....leave a small space in the middle for the potatos. After sitting for a while the potatoes are cool down so chop in some Dills and mix it. Put ur potatoes into the middle of the smoke salmon. Tear your bacon into small pieces and scatter it everywhere on the plate, put a generous amount of mix salad on top of the potatoes and garnish it with the fresh cream......finish it with a few drip of olive oil and balsamic viniger......nice........XD

p/s: yes the pics are blur n not really good but its my handphone camera...so don't expect too much

Sorce: Original recipe taken from Jamie Oliver's "Jamie Oliver at home" series.

Song....

2007-05-14T16:42:00.001+08:00

Hey again,
This is a very interesting song which I hope all of you will enjoy!!! I am so addicted to it that Im playing it almost 24/7 these few days man....LOL

Listen.....

2007-05-14T04:41:00.000+08:00

Hey ppl...
LOL yes Im sorry I give lame reasons like I don't have a camera and stop blogging for months...its all my bloody fault. But today's post have nothing to do with cooking. It is something that I would really like to share with all of you, something that hit me and it does make full sense...and it makes me realise something important that no one really tells me. Yes this book
(chichken soup) we have all heard about, and it is old school but it serve the purpose of self help and I felt really lucky to come across this book.
And yes! this bloody poem is so thoughful that I have actually get out of my warm and comfy bed at 5am in the morning to type this out. I can't believe I am doing this but I felt that if I don't do this now I would nvr get myself to do it sometime later and worse still forgotten about it! It will be a shame if you guys don't get to read it. As the saying goes, things are better when shared!!! hehehehe enjoy!

AND YES AGAIN it is lengthy but it is worth your time!!!!!!

PLEASE LISTEN

When I ask you to listen to me
and you start giving me advice,
you have not done what I asked.
When I ask you to listen to me
and you begin to tell me why
I shouldn't feel that way,
you are trampling on my feelings.
When I ask yo to listen to me
and you feel you have to do something
to solve my problem,
you have failed me,
strange as that may seem.
Listen! All I ask is that you listen.
DOn't talk or do- just hear me.
Advise is cheap; 20 cents will get
you both Dear Abby and Billy Graham
in the same newspaper.
And I can do for myself; I am not helpless.
Maybe discouraged and faltering,
but not helpless.
WHen you do something for me that I can
and need to do for myself,
you contribute to my fear and inadequancy.
But when you accept as a simple fact
that I feel what I feel, no matter how irrational, then I can stop trying to convince
you and get a bout this business
of understanding what's behind
this irrational feeling.
And when that's clear, the answer are obvious and I don't need advice.
Irrational feelings make sense when
we understand what's behind them.
Perhaps that's why prayer works, sometimes,
for some people- because God is mute,
and he doesn't give advice or try
to fix things.
God just listen and lets you work it out for yourself.
So please listen, and hear me out.
And if you want to talk, wait a minute
for your turn- and I will listen to you.

LOL yea it is lame that all the referensing is up...I guess this is what Uni do to you when ur tru with it....Often a time when people talk to us and tell us thier problems, we usually can't wait to throw in a few advise and tell them what is good for them. True enough we love them or like them as our friend, thats why we try to solve and give some advice, but after reading this poem I only realise that maybe we are often trying to show how smart ourselves is or better than the person when it comes to handling the stuff they are facing. This is a really valuable lesson indeed.....and yes to all my buddies....from now on I will try to shut the f***k up and listen....no more miss know it all shit and yea........I hope I will be a better and improve friend to you all!!! heheheheh
Cheers!

LOL.....sry about not writing for such a long time...but as I told you guys Im busy with moving and exams n assignments are piling up......so I don have much choice do I? But anyway not that I have alot of time to invent new stuff to cook.....n Im still running low on money to buy some ingrediants which i really wanted to cook.....but its ok this is the best I can come out with...Bon Apetit!

Anyway, this post is not something new anyway. Its just that I have done a better version of the lamb chop from the last post. The way of cooking and ingrediants is just the same, but instead of eating it with sausage and hash brown, I ate it with salad and smash potato instead....so practically Im just showing you this cause it looks really nice the way I put it this time...hope you enjoy looking at it!!! muahahahahaha!!!

P/S: Get some rosemarry leaves or thyme to garnish the lamb and some Parmesan cheese for the salad.....tats bloody good on salad....

Mince Lamb with Onions and Short Beans

2006-07-08T12:07:00.000+08:00

After a tiring day of work, I guess the only thing I really enjoy doing after that was cooking. Although I'm dead tired, but I still love churning out something and reward myself . Sipping Sauternes and savoring foie gras in one of those high end restaurant beside the Swan River....would be a very inviting thought....but still it can't beat the comfort of my own room with dim lighting and some nice movies or videos on my laptop to go with. As for today, went to pick up some meats from the supermarket for dinner. As usual....I would hunt for something cheap and the deal of the day is mince lamb...hahahaha.....just $3 bucks and I can split it into 3 sections and cook 3 meals out of tat......

Ingrediants:
1. Mince Lamb
2. Onion
3. Short beans
4. Lemon juice

Instractions:
Easy weesy....dice and stir fried the onions till its aroma comes out....den throw in the mince lamb and short beans......salt and pepper for seasoning....yea n also the lemon juice....it was nice but still......something was missing.....kinda flat.....n i know its nt salt or wut so ever......mayb I should try putting mint sauce next time ...... any suggestions?????

The Curry its da same one which i have posted earlier....

Chocolates......

2006-07-01T13:49:00.000+08:00

Yea...talking about chocolate...I bet everyone loves it....but den again....you can become pretty screw up if you eat too much....but still....who can give this up??? a lil bite here and there won't harm rite??? As for this post....I'l tell you some of my favorites......those which I have ate and think it is nice....

Cadbury.....
Yea some ppl told me that its one of the cheapest chocolate around and not so high class...but well...as I can say...not all expensive stuff are good and not all cheap stuff are bad....and cadbury just proves that...I grow up with cadbury...everynow and then I will just buy a bar for myself and savour it after meals...for desert....the one which I favour the most is the fruits and nuts..

Tim Tam
This is some sort of chocolate biscuit....middle is da cookies den covered with chocolate....its a very popular household chocolate biscuit here....and Im addicted to this one too....very nice indeed....especially the original flavour one......when u open the packet...you can actually smell the aroma...with a lil bit of coffee mix with chocolate smell...donno how to describe that...

Neuhaus....
When I was in Belgium...I was told that this brand is like the Ferrari in chocolate world....very powerful and expensive....hahahahha when the locals says so...ofcouse I have to give it a try right???? but hell...the money i paid for that box of neuhaus chocolate can buy me tans of cadbury bar man...dammit...and the end results???? I DON EVEN LIKE IT.....its too sweet for my liking....some complain to me that cadbury is sweet....but imagine this even sweeter....the ones i got was pralines.....incase you donno wut is pralines...its some chocolate which have flavoured cream in the center.....but one thing which I like from them is thier trauffles......its really good.....

these are the too "sweet" pralines

this is the nice traffles......really good...

Yea this time just this 3 brands....later when I find more time I will review more of the ones I like.....
