Gloom

As I sat at the waterfront, enjoying a freshly baked bagel, I can't help but feeling lonely. As joggers and people walked pass with their dogs (cute dogs alert!), I am secretly hoping that I have someone beside me to share the view.
I am washed up with emotions these few days. Maybe because of the too much 'me' time. I've been over thinking. I don't know what's wrong with me. I should be excited about being in a new place, exploring it. I still enjoy it but I wish that I can share it.
I've been wandering around the city and walking for 4 hours non stop at one point, soaking in the culture and enjoying the breeze, well strong wind to be exact. It's always a passion of mine to explore and I used to love doing it alone but it's not the case anymore now.
Well, maybe age is really catching up.

Enjoy your weekend everyone....

Real deal

I'm not sure if it's the aircond in the cinema or it's the great ending to the movie that gave me goosebumps. But I would recommend and give 2 thumbs up for it.
To be honest, I watched it because of Hugh Jackman. But Dakota Goyo steals the show (but Hugh is still yummylicious). Dakota plays Hugh's son in the movie. Initially, I thought that it'll be only another movie with machines and technology but I was wrong. The movie touches the heart and almost made me cry at certain scenes.
I'm not going to spoil the movie any further. Go watch it!

Nasi Lemak 3.0

I've always like nasi lemak. I know I know...it's fattening but it's not too much to eat it at least once a month, right?
My mum can cook a kick-ass nasi lemak. I still remember when I was a very young kid, she used to open a stall selling nasi lemak but unfortunately, it was not successful because she didn't apply for a license, thus, always have to be on the 'run'.
Last weekend, I managed to coax my mum to teach me how to make her kick-ass nasi lemak.
My mum is a firm believer that making it the traditional way - no using the ready made chilli boh and no blender. So, I have to manually grind everything *muscle sore*...
 This is the first time I heard of buah keras (candlenut). It's suppose to make your sambal thicker.
I'm not going to do a step by step (come to my house and I'll teach you!). And this is the finished product! It was hard work but worth all the effort.
Not bad for a first timer, right? (of course with mum's supervision, nothing can go wrong).

Il Divo - Amazing Grace

Saw a friend posting this in FB. My favourite gospel. Just so beautiful.
