Food Glorious food

Since young, I am truly blessed with skinny genes in my family, and high metabolism rate. Hence, I am never overweight, or people always said I am thin. But just like anyone else, I believe that my high metabolism rate will bid me good bye anytime soon as I am growing older. And so, I always watch out for what I eat, and how I eat, call me a healthy freak. haha.

In my younger days, my mum will feed me and my brothers with vegetables, oats ( which I deteste and now my new love ), celery ( which me and my brothers hate the most last time and was converted into a celery lover ever since I stayed with B's family ), cooking with less oil etc etc. Because of that, I had been trained, to eat more vegetables because my mum said it is good for our body.

 

Then comes college whereby I learn more about food, and that comes my fascination towards cooking. I am exposed to different type of cuisines and learning more about their culture, how it was prepared and how it has changed. So instead of spending money on clothes and jewelries, I would rather spend it on food. I am not stingy when it comes to food, but as for other things, I am the total opposite.

 

Because of all these random factors, it has formed my eating habit now. For me, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. First thing in the morning after I wake up, I will drink some water. Then, I will have my breakfast, mostly multigrain food whenever I can , like wholemeal bread, or milo with oats, cereals etc. Eating breakfast is like starting your car's engine in the morning, it needs time to fuel up your body. It is also when your body can absorbs the most nutrition out of the food you consume. Because of that, I must have breakfast whenever I can, not nasi lemak or char kuey teow please. XD Healthy breakfast.

 

I rarely eat out, except when it is on our off day because we wanted to take a break from cooking.At normal days, we always take turns to cook at home. From normal rice, to brown rice, now we had upgraded to red rice. Even though red rice cost a bit more, but it is all worth it because it is good for our body.I used to have this misconception that rice will make me fat. It is not rice that makes you fat, it is how much of rice you consume that makes you fat.

 

Then, eat more vegetables. MORE! Seriously, I cannot live without vegetables. That is how crazy I am. When we were in France, it was winter and most of the restaurants do not serve vegetables on the side, simply because it is not easily available or expensive. My body went bizarre and I keep hunting for multigrains food or yogurt drink.

Don't starve yourself. I do not have gastric, but I never will want myself to get gastric anytime in the future. Therefore, I eat accordingly and do not diet. No people! I don't starve myself and diet all the time!! I actually eat more than you think I do. =)

I do eat ice creams and dessert. Frankly speaking, I love eating them. But do know your limits, and don't over do it. It is not okay to eat one whole pint of ice cream while watching tv, gorging down one whole cake or even finishing one whole chocolate bar on your own. Eat in moderation, that is the key.

 

Last but not least, learn how to cook. Because by cooking your own food, you will learn how to appreciate food more.By cooking, you will put more efforts into it and you will understand, that food don't come easily. You can also control what your body consume, whether it is the amount of salt or oil you put and you know, that there are no funny things inside like MSG or food coloring.

Staying thin, doesn't mean you have to starve yourself. Eat the right thing and eat the right amount. Of course, better still if you can exercise regularly.=)

Anyways, just a random topic that I feel like writing after posting up my food pictures. haha. Hope you find it interesting. XD

 

It's Monday

Oppsss..I think I should update something a little tad happier than the one which I complain and whine..XD Sorry about that people..Work work work, sometimes it really does get a bit frustrating..

What I need to learn, is that I should have some dignity to myself and learn how to protect myself more. Which is not let other's comment rock my emotions and confident. As long as I know what I am doing, as long as I know what is right, whatever that 'that person' says, I will just do it and that's it. Full stop. Control my frustrations, control my emotions, and just smileeeee~

But at the same time, time to hunt for a better future and improve myself. I need to get my study mode back. XD

That's all about work. Talking about cooking, recently I have much fun in cooking at home. haha. Instead of having a proper menu planning in my mind, I just grab whatever vegetables and meat that I feel like grabbing and decide on that day itself what I should cook. First day I made Stir Fried Beef with Spring Onion, then comes improvised Sushi roll with bread instead of sushi rice plus Pasar Malam style of spring roll and stir fried ramyeon with tobokki, and tonight, its Linlin version of fried rice..Why so?Because my pan is too small and I have to cook my ingredients separately. Nevertheless, I think it taste awesome. XD Gah..I wish i have an oven, full set of pastry ingredients..Then fuh, can make anything already..haha.

One morning while going to the restaurant, I greeted our regular customers with a big smile on my face. And then they asked, 'Why are you so happy this early in the morning?'

I said, ' I have to be happy isn't it? '

The moral of the story is, no matter what happen at work, when you face your customers, you will still need to smile, and be happy. Actors and actresses you may say, but, thats our job.

怨

有的时侯，真的做工做得好生气。尤其是今天。所谓的 ‘好心被雷劈’， 我今天真的体会到了。明明他人有错，我看见了就好心地帮一下，指点一下。结果，就被训了一下。对！我是自作聪明，明明不关我事我还多管闲事。

做个上司， 就有责任要管好自己的店。而不是三不两下就把一切丢给经验不足的工读生。成天出去抽烟，要么就叫别人来帮忙。难道我们有那么的空闲吗？帮你一次或两次不代表我们要每次都帮你。尽然顺手就把责任推给我们！

我做什么，都有我自己的理由。如果每一次，我都要帮你收拾烂摊，而且还要被责怪的话，这口气，我可吞不下。我现在是忍气吞声，不代表我以后也会那样。

真的很不公平！为什么别人错得更离谱，却安然无恙？ 我们却为了一丁点的错误，被说得狗血淋头。为了公司，跑上跑下。担心这个，担心那个。为了他人的错，而被客户埋怨。而其它的人，却高枕无忧的在办公室里办事。面对客户的是我们，被骂的也是我们。一有什么问题，承担的也是我们。咳。。

满肚的怨气，我承受的了多少？我想，把我自己的本分做好就好了。其他的，就让他自甘堕落吧。心灰了。。那把奋斗的精神，向前冲的毅力，也没了。就忍个七个月吧！ 到时候，就重新在别的公司找回我心中的那把火。

Let's see...

An opportunity or a self-digging-grave?

I wonder...I wonder...

Let's play along and see where it will lead me to...I suppose..haha

A mouse looking alike picture of myself..

This is how I look after my hair cut the last time I went back to Malaysia..Damn..How I miss my hair at this state..

And now, its growing like a wild grass..TT 

( But in this picture also I already comb my hair nicely..Imagine without..@@)

The purpose of this post, is none..haha..I just saw the mouse looking picture of mine and I just feel like posting it..But I really do miss my hair in that picture..Of course, it is almost impossible to maintain it like that at all time.Partially because I am too lazy to blow it dry every single time..Blame my laziness..I want to straighten and color my hair once it is long enough..I have never dyed my hair ever in my life and I am thinking I must at least try once in my life. Right? If my mum ever complain then I'll just say I stood under the sun too long and my hair turned brown. ^^

I wore a 5 inch heels that day and damn, its killing my feet. I had blisters everywhere and I have to suffer every single time my feet touched the water..Oh well, at least that day I thought I look good. haha. I only have one day in a week to dress up nicely and if it means that I will get blisters on my feet, be it!!! 

Anyways, enough of slacking and time to hit the bed. Need some good old rest before work tomorrow. Ciaos people! XD

Random thoughts

Random Thoughts

1. I am 23 years old this year, and I am somewhat forgetting that I am 23. It is like I am back at an awkward age whereby I am not sure where I am at. Am I a young adult? Or an adult now? It is like deciding on what to wear. Should I dress up more maturely, or should I just wear what I like to wear?

2. Sometimes u see things happening, you feel like you should do something you can do something about it, but in reality, you can't. Because you do not have the authority to do so. What you can do, is to play your role well, and watch it falls apart. Can we survive? I hope so. If not, I guess it is time to change into a new environment.

3. The thing I hate the most in this world is when you need to clean up other people's mess. But what b say is right. Why should we care so much, just let that person bear the cost at the end of the day. As long as we did our part well, we will be safe.

4. You have the passion, you have the drive, but because of poor management, you gradually lost it. The day when I have reached my limits, is the day I leave to find back my passion and drive.

5. I am being a healthy freak recently. From rice, to brown rice to red rice. Every morning I will make sure I ate something with high fibre to start off my day. I try to drink as yogurt drink as often as I can, and ensuring that I have a lot of vegetables intake every day. Am I being abnormal?

6. I need a vacation soon...I need to relax...I need it soon....

Alrights. That is all for now..I need to get ready to work soon..and It's a freaking Sunday..TT

Too blunt?

I guess being too straightforward and blunt can back fire at times..Sometimes, I really cannot be pretentious and probably that is my biggest weakness at work. When I dislike someone, I really dislike that person. So yeap, I don't care which position you are holding, I don't have to pretend as if we are happy lovey dovey buddy when we are not.

Then I realize, what if because of this, I am forever stuck at this position and never get a promotion? Hmmm..Shoots..

Work is never easy, there will always be endless politics and honestly, I don't give a damn. I just want to do my job and that's it. Honestly speaking, I know I am still new and I am still learning how to handle different situations at work. I made mistakes, and I need to learn from my mistakes. I must must remember that.

I cannot be too serious at work at times, I must relax, calm down and think carefully. Breathhhhh~ Think~ and take action~~~

I need to prove to those people that I can do my job well, despite being small and all. Ish! Alright. I need to work harder in the future..Gambate!

To those bitc**es out there! I will prove to you that I CAN DO IT! HMPH!
