The same old reaction I get from the staffs...why did you became thinner?? >.< I did not diet..I did not cut down on my food..and I did not even exercise..so tell me about it...what have I done wrong?? haha..I swear to god I did not DIET... :p

Late night ramble

Bear with me and stay with me...its almost 5am and I couldn't sleep..Reason why? I am scare..

Probably you guys will think that I am mad and stupid to get stress over such little things.I don't know what is my results yet and yes I am scare..even until this very moment...Never ever felt so helpless before..and never ever felt so not confident before..yes I knew I had tried my best and its over and done..I can not change it anymore..its a fact...and tomorrow it will be a history...

I know it all.....

My expectations are high..yes..because thats who I am...I knew I screwed up my kitchen and it will affect my overall results..these few days I had been telling myself...lower your bar and be happy with whatever that you can get...honestly..its not easy to do...

I am not trying to boast myself and saying that I am very smart..but had been passing all my exams with flying colors all along..primary..secondary..been doing great in academic wise and co curriculum..even in college my diploma results is what I want to get in the next few hours...though I had fail my add math once...but..I know my standard..and I want to get the best..not the top student..but at least up to my expectation...

Why am I like that? ask my mum...My parents always have high expectation on me..and that is why I had worked my ass off in UPSR, PMR and SPM....probably because of the pressure that was set upon me in the past..it has left its trail upon me...and until today this very moment..though I had changed much and not that kiasu anymore...but its just me...am not pressured..but scare...

I had told myself zillions of time, its okay to get VHP..you had tried your best...be grateful for what you get tomorrow...no matter what it is...just accept it and forget about it..life is too short to feel sad about it..I did..zillions of times...even until just now when I tried to sleep...oh god...I just want to whack myself so I can faint and sleep right now...

oh rambling again and again...thats why I said..bear with me..I am trying to write until I am tired enough to sleep...

I am grateful for what I have now really..every time I see my friend 'like' the picture of us, or saying that you already have aaron mer...or even both of you are cute couple...I felt super grateful to have met him and to be with him...

I want to have a future with him...I want to built a family with him..I want him to be by my side when I am down and when I needed someone...I want him to be part of my present and future...because somehow I know...I will never meet anyone that can treat me as good as him anymore...

Some people say we are always not grateful for what we have now..oh yes..that us being a human...we always want more in our life...when its okay..you want good..when its good..you want great...when its horrible...you will say my life sucks..I am a human too..not that I am not grateful...not that I am not satisfied..no complains from me..because he treats me like a princess...but its myself...my insecurities..not him...but me..

I am scare that the more I want something..the harder I will fall...I am scare that I will make some silly and stupid mistakes and I will loose it all..read so many stories...experience it myself..and I know how bad it is...and I am scare that I will make those mistakes..thats why I always ask B did I do anything wrong or did I make you emo? I know it may be irritating at times...but I want to know whether I did the right thing for him or not...I want to know what mistakes I had done...yupe..I know its dumb and stupid...thats why I said..its my insecurities...

Past...History...its done and no point thinking about it..

Love started off as a blank paper...you slowly slowly paint it with all sorts of colors..whether its sunshine yellow and red or gloomy black and brown..its you who paint it and you who decided what kind of painting it will be...once you start painting there is no turning back..because it stayed like a permanent ink..no matter how hard you want to erase the mistakes that you had done..the mark will still be there...So careful....

oh..the more I write the better I feel actually..great.

Ten months had almost passed...I miss everything about him and us...everything from end of term 4...Melaka...first time holding hands...two months long distance relationship...late night calls...travelling in the bus alone for several hours just to see him and celebrate his birthday...day trip to museum and Genting...getting our first pet Viva..running back and fourth from Mentari and Bangsar...Ipoh trip...making cakes together...Perhentian trip...eating early breakfast together...blanketing him in the middle of the night..saying good night and telling him that I love him...hugging him...snuggling in blankets together...everything..

sometimes I felt like I had spend my whole life with him though it is just ten months...so short and yet so long...

Fool I may be..but no matter how foolish I am...one thing that I am sure of...I love you more than anything in this entire universe...the thought of you alone made me feeling better already...its 5.19am..better off to bed..I shall be thinking about all the things that we had done...and I will be missing you in my dreams...

Results? now..screwed it...VHP so what? told you...bear with me..I just need to express my thoughts...

Melaka


Melaka


When you think of Melaka..what is the first thing that comes into your mind?? Me?? GULA MELAKA!! :p probably the best thing that ever happen to melaka...if there is no gula melaka, means no sago gula melaka, no nice cendol and ABC...what's life without those?? support?? =)

Next thing comes in mind..chicken rice ball...imagine the pipping hot chicken rice ball that is soft and so fragrant,served with the silky smooth steam chicken...oh heaven...that is my version of great chicken rice ball..but sadly..the one that we went this time the had degraded...


The chicken rice ball is cold and soggy..and the rice is overcook so it the texture is like mash potato as Carlos said... disappointing indeed...

Just a look at the presentation, you can tell the person who chopped the chicken did not even put any effort into itand just dump everything on the platter...the chicken was a disaster...even the chicken rice in KL taste better than this..its tough and chewy...what happen to the nice chicken rice ball?? how sad...this is what that happen when everything is too commercialize...

Fine..mind that chicken rice..let's go for Portuguese food..Never tried Portuguese before so wanted to try something new..so we headed to the Portuguese Village to try their cuisine..there is one whole row of stalls all numbered..so once you land there..people from each stalls will crowd you and promoting their stalls to you..it reminded me of China really..its scary and irritating at the same time..because they just follow you everywhere you go talking to you even though you are not interested...

We went to the ones with most customers...and this is what we saw..

Loads of rare seafood that we won't normally see in most places...we were told that the scary thing with sharp tail at the corner is called the horse shoe crab...Some even call the King crab..you don't eat the meat because there is no meat!! but you eat the eggs...I once saw it in travel and living, and the host hated it because it tasted weird...so its a no no for us..then can you see one whole row of oysters on the right?? yes..its oysters in different size..the biggest one is even bigger than my head...>.<


there...the huge oyster...but if compare with the 'si ham' its not that big right? but I must tell you..the 'si ham' is x5 of the normal ones we eat...then imagine the size of the huge oyster...>.<

Fried Calamari...not quite sure it is Portuguese though...its okay...not great..

Ini dia our huge 'si ham'... normally when you eat 'si ham', its better if you eat it medium well...people say its dirty and muddy..but you still eat it right? haha..its a must have in curry laksa..without it..its like laksa without part of its soul...I must say...this huge 'si ham' is very satisfying...you can hardly find 'si ham' this size really..

We had Sitr Fried Kang Kung and bake bamboo clam also..but its is just okay..nothing much special about it...so will not talk about it..so first time Portuguese experience?? I think we ate at the wrong place..haha..it taste like normal chinese restaurant cuisine..nothing special about it...

Went Jonker Street as usual..the most have thing here is probably the mochi...


Mochi should be warm and soft but at the same time..it must be a bit chewy.. the grounded peanuts played an important role as well..this one is nice..but not the best I must say...they say the one in Petaling Street is even better...hmmm..must try one day then...=)

After Jonker Street, went to eat fried oyster...

A must order...Lin Chi Kang ala Melaka...and yes..its macaroni you see..haha..I guess they want to have a different texture in it..but seriously, it tasted nice though...its like a fusion Italian Malaysian dessert....super cooling...

B said it just tasted okay...not super nice..I like the coriander best... :p

Anyway..there is a story when its comes to this..When we were half way eating...here comes a beggar topless walking towards us..From far I can see he is scratching his balls already..when he came near us I knew something was wrong...he stand beside Randall and started to scratch his balls. Seriously scratching his balls in front of us when we are eating..how appetizing is that?? I dont even dare to look at him because I don't want to see any birds when I am eating..mana tau he sees me looking at him he will get high...urgh idiot...but luckily he did not take out his bird...Randall said he will punch him if he does that..so..how nice can our fried oyster be?? haha

Nyonya food

This should be a fusion of Chinese and Malay food..where to find the best Nyonya food? should be where it first started right?? Melaka...but a lot of people said Penang Nyonya food is great too..but did not get the chance to taste it so will not comment about it...

Cincaluk Omellete..what is cincaluk?? its a pickled small shrimps in bottles.. So what happen when you fry it with eggs?? ermm...tasted like cincaluk and egg?? lame I know..but to be honest, probably because they only put a little bit of it so it just tasted like egg to be...probably it will taste better with more cincaluk..

Ponteh chicken is another must order when it comes to Nyonya cuisine.what is it actually? its basically chicken with brown bean paste...sometimes you can add more garlic if you like it more garlic-ky.thats what my mum likes to do...

Asam fish...what should I say about this? it should be sour and spicy but not too spicy until it will kill you..the fish must be fresh served with okra and tomatoes...normally they use sting ray in this dish...

Next stop...Nyonya laksa..

Honestly..I don't really know whats the difference between nyonya laksa and assam laksa...what I know is..assam laksa they use mint leaves..and nyonya laksa they used sliced cucumber..>.<  but this one that we tasted has no ohmm in it...the flavor is not intense and its not spicy enough for me...I prefer the ones they sell in Jalan Alor..it makes you sweat like mad...thats..heaven.. =)

Ikan Bakar

ohhh..this...is a must have in Melaka I guess..normally when we eat ikan bakar, the sambal belacan is pour over it right?? and sometimes they even put okra and onions with it..but this one we went..they just purely grilled the fish, and serve the belacan at a side..so you can adjust your spiciness according to your liking...

The famous Nasi Lemak...why is is nice? A nice nasi lemak comes with a good old Sambal with steaming hot rice served with banana leaf..and they did it all right...=) slurrpp...

Our ikan bakar...told you they just grilled it...=)

Grill sotong and ikan kembung..

Finally..the best thing that ever happen to me in Melaka!!! teng teng teng =====

The heavenlicious crepe cake..

You can call me noob..but I had never tried crepe cake in my life before so this is my very first time...heard much about it...so I die die also must try this in Melaka...what is a crepe cake? Crepe is a super thin slice of pan cake...its layers of crepe with pastry cream in it..slurrrppp....the thing about crepe cake is it requires a lot of labour work...you must make the crepe layers by layers and each layers must be very thin and it must not break of have holes in it... and this baby here..just melts in your mouth..the best is still the original crepe cake...because you can taste the crepe and the flavors within...you can have other flavors as well..like rum and raisin, cheese ( not recommended because it is quite sourish..), tiramisu and others...

I never tasted anything like this...and to me..its heaven when you eat it with a cup of english tea...ohhh~~~ I want crepe cake...=)

and so..that ends my Melaka journey..mouth watering already?? :p

3 destinations and tonnes of food..

I am finally back from my 1200km food hunting journey..what a trip and what a journey.. First destination Melaka..Flew down to Melaka and crashed at Seng Ming's for two days..Actually it was kind of cliche for me because last year in June, we went down to Melaka as well and at that time, me and B had not started 'yet'..we went back to the same place and ate the same food..(without the terrifying mosquitoes experience in Durian Farm of course this time..thank god its not Durian season yet...=) ) Its like walking down the memory lane for me..thinking back at those times when we first hold hands, hardly fell asleep because both of us were unsure what to do..how I miss those times... =)

The purpose of our trip is to makan eat and makan... nothing else...So once we started on our journey, there is no turning back but to eat..and I swear to god I eat all the time!!! =) I shall talk about what we ate in my next post..when it comes to food..I have too many pictures to show.. :p Melaka is still the same old Melaka except there are tonnes of new shopping malls coming up..HEY!! they even have Niche in Melaka okay? who say must go KL only can find nice things...honestly, the food in Melaka is not that great anymore...the chicken rice ball is definitely a turn down..the nyonya laksa just tasted fairly bland to us...the Portuguese food is another let down because it tasted like Malaysian food to me.. oh well..guess we need to hunt for another stall to eat..The Best thing that ever happen to us in Melaka...the Crepe Cake!!!! whoooo~~~~ shall talk about it in my next post...:p







Us hanging out at a cafe where we ate Crepe Cake.. Must camwhore a bit.. =)

After two nights at Melaka, we shoot right up to Ipoh..took us almost 3 - 4 hours..Ipoh..heaven for bean sprouts and chicken..slurrpp...Since we missed the bean sprouts during our last trip, this time almost every meal there are bean sprouts inside..the fat and juicy dou dou... =)  Must must eat in Ipoh are bean sprout and chicken, the smooth and silky kuey teow, kang kung and sotong, Lemon Jelly Ice, and the Liew Fun ( Something like Yong Tau Foo ) and many other delicacies..I must say..all the food's quality were well maintained..it tasted exactly the same as I had tasted last time..slurrppp...

and oh...we even went to Karaoke in Ipoh..haha..oh well..the cinema were closed when we reached the mall and its only 11pm...Honestly, Red Box or Green Box is way better in terms if songs selections and varieties...but we had a great time..=) 


Next stop Penang..and guess where we stayed???


yeap...call us rich buggers!! but to be honest..we only spend RM175 for one room in Hard Rock Hotel..muahaha...why?? because B they all have a friend who works there and he can get for us staffs price..once we heard RM175 for one night...straight confirm and go for it..hello! where can you get such price for Hard Rock Hotel?? :p and oh..the design of the hotel really suites Hard Rock theme..every where you can see Beatles...some Rock and Roll Star clothes..the swimming pool is pretty awesome..

This is probably the coolest thing ever...the guests who stay at the ground floor can jump into the pool straight from their room...and yes..you can sun bath outside your balcony..how cool is that...i have to go back and stay there next time... =) and oh..its not cheap thought.. =(



Told you there is Beatle everywhere..


Even MJ...kar woon sure suka..=)

View from our room..



Look at the cat on the left..he actually came to us and sat between B's leg and stare into the camera..but too bad it was in Carlos's camera..super photogenic car!! and in this picture he is actually posing as well..

All the guys playing at the swimnming pool...me? cameraman..=) Actually there are many more pictures in the pool with me in...did not post it because its too exposing..muahaha.. :p

Actually in Penang we had a bad time communicating...none of us speaks hokkien and every time when we need to order food or pay money, we can not understand anything at all..haha..its like cat talking to dog lo..Food in Penang is great too..First time I eat Char Kuey Teow with so such HUGE prawns, first time eating Hainanese cuisine, first time eating kuey chap in Malaysia and first time eating such nice octopus.. ('o') The best thing that happen to us is still Hard Rock Hotel..I told myself I will go back if I got the money.. :p  but the weather is madness!! sometimes I just wish I am in the hotel room watching tv..@@

This whole trip is about food food food and food...our tour guide is of course Mr Carlos and Mr Randall Chen..they seems to know everywhere to eat and where you can find the best food...like what Randall said..we don't even know what is hungry for this whole week..and thats very true...I am telling you...you should be adding a few pounds when you are eating like this..but me in another hand turn otherwise..>.< I have no idea why..but once I reached home, I automatically adjust my stomach back to my normal mode...So don't ask me why I keep dropping size...I wonder why also.. 

Anyway..it was definitely the food trip I needed after craving everything for a long time...what a journey what a journey...can not do this too often though..high cholesterol ar..haha..but people...do try it some days alright..its fun to eat all the time..=)

Us us again..love this picture...but if you notice..the bench is actually a cat bench.. =)

Will post about all the food we ate in my next post so be patient patient yea..=) End my post with a super nice scenery shot I caught...

Holiday

Back in Seremban after a long long time...nothing has change much...parents are still the same..Liang became thinner...Jun went college..and Xiong is in choir!!! wau...following my footsteps I guess..he is even in Red Crescent!!

I was home alone most of the time..Need to fetch my brother to work early in the morning ( not that early actually...10.15am.. :p ) Then while driving in town..I had the urge to eat something I had not eaten for a long time...fish ball noodle...what's there to loose right?? go and eat only...

A very humble and simple fish ball noodle..

The fish balls were nice and springy..but I do prefer the old ones they do..it is a simple fish paste with ' sa kok '..probably because I like something crunchy in my fish paste...=) anyways...I think its better when you order it dry....


and hey..I am having my breakfast with a lot of uncles and aunties..I think they are all retired..they keep talking about shares and houses..haha..this is very random I know..but the next thing will be even more random..I was walking back to my car...and remember me saying I miss my long hair...I saw a hair saloon and they have offer for hair rebonding it seems...without thinking any further..I went in and asked for the price..

For my hair length..it would cost me RM180...self conflicting whether I should do it or not..because I know I want back my straight hair..but its RM180!!!! what the heck...just go ahead and do it only!!! and here I am..spent 3 hours sitting there to get my hair done....and this is how I look....


I know..its VERY straight..and I even felt like Cleopatra..>.<


 This is Elizabeth Taylor acting as Cleopatra


arrrrr..this one is more alike..hahaha...


What!!! I just only straighten..of course it would be super straight!!!!! 


Kar Woon said I look cute alright!!! hahaha...I hope she is not trying to comfort me...=)

I do like having straight hair mer..what do you aspect..yes I did JUST curled my hair not long time ago...almost half a year to be exact..and the curl is just what I wanted last time..big and wavy...but I want to comb my hair more often..hahaha..if you have curly hair..you can comb but it would be super torturous for you to do so...all the hairs would be tangled up...and it takes a hell load of energy to comb it straight...so..still love straight...^^v

Holiday holiday....most probably tomorrow we will be going to jalan jalan cari makan...YESH!!! my ikan bakar...my bean sprout...my most delicious chicken in the whole world...my char kuey teow...my everything that is nice to eat la....here we come come....=) till then..enjoy your holiday peeps....XOXO

Muscle aches...

Yesterday was a hell of a day...suppose to go to college and check for my results..but you know what..FB is the best thing in this whole world...=) =) woke up in the morning to check my FB..then ei??? someone updated FB status saying that they are in college checking results.. immediately take out phone and call dai lou!!! haha...he say no need to check for me also know I pass...I want to see my number myself to make sure I pass mer...sorry sorry..I am like that...hehe

After one hour..he posted a picture of the list in FB...SMART!!!! hahaha..I guess everyone keep calling him until he also can not tahan already...so he rather take and picture of it and post it in FB...=) see!!! this is the power of FB!!! everything can be seen in it..and it can be super convenient...

Then after we knew we pass already..met up with Wei Ren at One U to rock climb!!! I only rock climb once in my life which is in Genting..and that one also climb up once then finish..Once you fall..means its over...but this time..really something new for both of us...=) Honestly..I did not realize I am scare of heights until I start climbing...He keep asking me to climb up up up..then when im up...I look down..@#(@)(#@ gosh its freaking high..We did bolstering at first, so there are no ropes attached..so if you fall, you will land on some mattress of course..but still!!! its HIGH!!!!

Then once I start climbing..my hands and my legs started to shake vigorously..thanks to Wei Ren who keeps laughing at me when I am climbing..what a motivation!! Then there was one wall..you suppose to climb over it...without any ropes or course..when you reach a certain stage..you have to stretch your arms like mad..and use your legs to push your body up...my arms are shaking like mad and its freaking high...Wei Ren and B was like..

'You can do it..just push your legs up!!!! 1, 2, 3....GO!!'

Im like ' nooo..I can not!!! its so high....I scare I scare....'

'No no no...you are there already..just one push...1, 2, 3....'

'okay okay...calm down calm down..you can do it...okay...1...2....3...urghhhhhhhhhh!!!! YAY!!!!!!! I DID IT!!!!'

It may seem to be easy for most of you..but go and have a try and tell me its easy okay?? it requires ALOT of determination, will power and strength to do it alright!!!! =)

Then CC!! okay..talking about CC..when I go CC..the only thing that I will do is FB...or MSN...that was last time...then when we went yesterday..walau!!! I can play CS!!! ( though I am pretty noob in it...but still!!! I manage to shoot a few people alright??? =) Then I suck in Left 4 Dead 2 because I memang don't know how to spawn....and...I played Warcraft tower defense le...I got to say..its quite syiok yea..haha...and my favourite!!! Star Craft!!! muahahha..though I still suck in it..but at least I trashed Calvin and Steven...=) =) way to go my Battle Cruisers!!!!

What a day what a day..and guess what...this morning when I woke up...I dream of Tower Defense and CS...and my whole body is aching like mad...thanks to rock climbing...but if you have the chance..you should really try it..push your limits abit..and you will be surprise by what your mind and body can do...=)
