那一瞬间的感触
昨天我在神的面前祈祷时，泪流了。一直以来神都很爱我，大大小小的问题他都总是依我也为我解难题。唯一的心愿至今都还未让我实现。也许他在考验我的忍耐性，还是他有另外的打算呢？
我曾经质疑过，神啊！是你不存在或是我不够努力？有一度我放弃去教堂，放弃神与我眷属的对话空间。好傻吧？^_^ 完全望了是神把我带到这个世界的。
我是个外强中干的人，从来就不喜欢把自己的不快乐让人知道。每天都装着不在意和傻大姐的心态来让身边的人不担心我。常常把欢笑带给大家来掩饰自己的寂寞。还好我是个乐观主义者，通常都会傻傻躲着哭了五分钟后就收拾心情来面对事情。下移秒会更好不是吗？
天大地大都有神来帮我撑腰，我不该轻易放弃的。也许是该更努力的去证明自己的存在性，好让身边的人认为是值得的。神，谢谢您！泪流的那一刻，我感受道你的存在了。感激你从来都不抛弃迷茫得我。谢谢你把我带回你的家。阿门。

An Evening Talk on Travel & Photography
(best speaker of the evening...2nd from right)
Chun Man invited me to join her for an evening talk at Pudu several weeks ago via FB...Both of us totally forgotten about it until that very morning (14 Jan 2010). At first was quite hesitated to go as both of us were very busy at work, but I decided to dump whatever work left behind & went ahead to pick up Chun Man for the talk.
It was an interesting evening, the talk was conducted in Mandarin & English.. basically with 4 speakers shared their experiences of backpacking in Europe, China, Taiwan & few other destinations. Some with funny encounters, some with acquaintances & so forth.
They gave an overview about what to expect & how to take care of oneself when you are away in a foreign land. The talk open up & encourage participants to travel more in a freer style instead of following the conventional way going on "Tour".
We stayed back after the talk & grabbed a few copies of magazines from them. The photos taken by the club members were astonishing, especially those taken from their annual backpacking trip to Nepal & Xi Zhang. Oya, they organise trips for backpacking as well as photographing. Relatively cheap (ie. 11days to Nepal & Xi Zhang - All in is about RM3-4k)...hmm...maybe...hehe.
Anyway...check out the video..cheers! I'll going back for more talks if whenever there's a chance to do so. Have to thank Chun Man for recommended this to me. ;p

Satu Cupak
^_^ Funny Title isnt it?? Hardly hear anyone saying this word..it practically means 1Cupak = 675g.
(30 Years Old Book - Front cover...after repaired)
I loan both my aunts recipe books for a month before returning back to them this coming Lunar New Year. One of it has been with my aunt for more than 30years (all hand written). As I'm scanning & translating recipe by recipe to my cooking book, i found some of the wordings in kampung malay & mandarin appeared in her book..lovely!
(The Old & The New..All Handwritten)
This 30years old book is like a treasure map, it has always been seen during new year lying in the kitchen while my aunt busy baking cookies & cooking. It contains lots of good food that i had since young & lots of childhood memories in the wooden house where i used to stay during preschool days.
Now my aunt willingly loan this book to me, i'll get to learn up most of my favorite recipes. I'm really happy over it. Atleast i know, when they are older & no longer able to cook. There's someone at home inherited their recipe & cook for the family when festive season comes.
Who knows probably one day i may have a small cafe to serve these foods...Love that thought. ;p

Temptation
It has been contineously 4 mornings that there was this same worker slotting leaflet into the mailbox around my neighbourhood. One must be thinking, what so big deal about it..He might be hardworking to earn more...ha!
What makes me curious was that, these leaflets were from the same source promoting this fongsui/luck charm master claiming that he can turn you into million"aires" if you put a bet on the number he gives. Apart from that, he also have added service to arrange your house according to fongsui & makes you prosper for this year.
As for me, I just picked it up & put it to the pile of recycle papers thinking that is sort of unfriendly to the environment. But then, how many people will actually call & fix an appointment with him? Many may not fall for the 1st time, some will start to curious about it on the 2nd day & make calls..& so forth...
Is a business strategy as I noticed..haha...nowadays, fongsui master also not easy to earn money! Like Lilian Too & Joey Yap, they are the lucky ones. They get to go on stage & TV programs to promote themselves, thus many turn to them for advice. As for these small players, leaflet is the easiest way to promote. Some can be quite accurate, some might just "con" man. It's all depend how we look at things.
I see this as a temptation, especially now for those having hard time to earn a living. But in the end of the day, will we gain more or less from this? Is up to idividual to think about it. ;p

1st Post in 2010
This is the 2nd week of 2010 & i noticed there are several things that i've yet blog it out. (haha...one of those is my trip to UK & Budapest) ..But this post i'm dedicating it to my cooking...haha...nothing special, just feel like blogging it.
I've been cooking almost every other day lately for 4 reasons...1) working in Hartamas, the meals are relatively expensive due to the so called "higher class area". 2) i'm really short of cash due to mum's 60th birthday, Chinese New Year, getting ready for new house, up coming trip in September & etc. 3) trying to learn up my * aunties recipes before they are old enough not to guide me anymore. 4) health.
Somehow, I enjoyed cooking...I started exploring new recipes like steam buns, steam cakes, achar, otak-otak & etc. The fun part doesnt stop here, i started adding my own ideas in the recipes once i learned up the original taste...haha...thanks God, the guinea pig at home aka housemate yet to experience stomach discomfort after food testing.. ;p
One other good reason of cooking is also I like to see ppl enjoy eating the food I cooked. Now i understand why my poh poh used to tell my aunts, having to cook for family & friends is one of the happiest thing to do. It is through food you share loves & cares for those you cooked for. It may not be tasty, but is the thought that count.
This CNY, my aunt has promised to teach me how to make chinese sausages..not easy according to her, but definately going to have fun together...haha. I'm blessed that staying with my grandma & few aunts whom I grew up with love to cook. They are like my GPS for cooking, whenever i have doubt on certain dish..they are just a call away.
PS : I need an oven so that i can bake cookies, cakes & roasted pork. ;p
* aunties recipes - yerr...i think is a grammar mistake loh...
