A Lazy Afternoon...

那一瞬间的感触
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
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
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!
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
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
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...

Is The End & The New Beginning
Christmas is the time to celebrate the coming of Christ with lotsa love together with our love ones. Nothing too fancy, but simply just having everyone around us for dinner & being in Church to pray. I feel blessed this year that I had a good one to remember.
Where as for new year..it is time to bid goodbye to another year by welcoming a brand new year.There are doubts if I can make it through and to look back what I've achieved last year. It is also the time to say good bye to family & friends when they are due to return to their work after a long holiday break.
What have I achieved in 2009 & what have I fail? Other than travelling, new job, new friends & healthier lifestyle...what else? Did my Christian Faith grow stronger? What is my rating for 2009 if is 1-10?
How about 2010? What do I really want? A companion? new travelling destination? earn more so that i can do more things? hope that my parents are in good health? i have to keep praying so that God will answer my prayer.
Is the End & the new Beginning...time to move on eventhough we reluctant to let go certain things. I believe as long my heart still beating, there will be miracles everyday & God will make a way for us to continue our journey ahead.
Happy New Year Everyone & God Bless!

Going Places
I'm glad that my boss is so understanding & sporting to grant me the 2wks off despite the tight schedule of what i'm handling now. (Big Thanks BOS) In return, I was rushing like mad to complete as much work & reports possible to keep him ready for reporting in case the top management need them while i'm gone.
November for me is really eventful. 1st begin with my job...I'm now working in a new company, with new boss & his team members. New way of managing work, great Bos & gang, tight schedules & Budgets has freshen the passion on my career...Nonetheless, I've sleepless night worrying that I'll disappoint my boss with his expectation. But I'm not complaining, bcoz I realized that this is what I've wanted ever since I left Gamuda. Crazy isnt it? haha... ;p
Then it was Lee Bee Ku Ku's wedding (Kelvin's sister). Her wedding day was memorable, the contras between morning tea ceremony & garden evening dinner were so beautiful. (doh...I nearly missed her wedding due to my outstation assignment...pheww)
Then now...the last two wks of the Nov...Yippee...I'm more than ready to stamp some footprints in UK & Europe. I'm happy as i'm achieving some but not all in my "to do list". ^_^
So, see ya in Dec...signing off.. ;p

Oh Boy...
The duty of giving birth to baby boy has always been a so call "very important" thingy in the Chinese community. Eventhough we are living in the modern world, this is something many Chinese still cares about. So do Melanie. Despite of her health problem, she risk her life conceiving this baby boy.
Is that really matter if a woman dont deliver a boy?????!!!!! Either a boy or a girl, they still your flesh & blood...dont they?? I'm sad & angry of the lost. Because of the responsibility of having a boy, we lost our friend...the 3yrs old daughter & a new born son lost their mother. What more?? It was supposed to be good celebration welcoming the baby, it turned to a funeral to send her away...5ft under.
My dear friend, I know how much u love your childrens. Your duty in life has fulfilled, may you rest in peace.

Steamboat Dinner
Worried for her child's safety, the lady at that table carried her child & ran. Thank God, the fire was put off quickly by the waiter. When the action ended, we could see chilly sauce & food on the floor. Some ppl was spilled with sauces on their clothes & faces. the scene was chaotic yet funny!! Houn & I would have been spilled too if we had not ran. LOL
Haha...what a day!! But joke apart, i seriously hope this restaurant give a round check on their stove & gas pipings to keep a safe environment for dining.

爱情
爱情是一朵生长在绝崖边缘的花
想要摘它必须要有勇气
人们可以支配自己的命运
若我们受制於人
那错不在命运 而是在我们自己
好有趣的一番话,人嘛!总是在爱情的方面最脆弱。我也不例外。。好想谈一场平凡不过的爱情。不需要海四山盟的承诺,也不需要华丽与多余的奢侈品。。也许要一个人不计一切的拿出勇气来爱我是很难吧!可笑吧!
