I count my blessings to be able to see and experience this, although not daily, but still it's a blessing.

Running man

I've just recently started watching this and I am totally hooked. The show was first aired in 2010 but I only got to know about it recently, thanks to a colleague of mine.
The show is very funny lor....with the exaggerated expressions and subs in English. It certainly relieves stress after a long day at work.
If anyone wants to copy, get it from me! :)
More about the series here.

Point and shoot

I kinda like these few randoms shots taken at the backyard......

Best porridge in the whole wide world

Be it peanut and osyter porridge, salty and century eggs porridge, chicken porridge, pork ball and ribs porridge, you name it, it's the most delicious porridge.
Eat it plain or with 'yao tiao' or with a sprinkle of chopped parsley, it's a pick me up food anytime.

What an eventful day..

I had my many firsts today....

- first time being dolled up by a makeup artist and wearing fake lashes!
- first time crossing a puddle of water, bare foot in a wedding gown
- first time climbed atop an old abandoned pipe in my gown
- first time changing in a car
- first time being in ulu yam and totally fell in love with the scenery
- first time avoiding 'land mines' aka cow and goat dungs while holding up my gown as high as possible. imagine the smell....

totally enjoyed it...but I think we sort of frustrated Steven (our photographer) with our unnatural poses in front of the camera. Funny how he said we did well when doing funny poses but failed at the serious poses.

All the while, I had this urge to take out my camera and starts snapping away because the scenery is so beautiful. To all my beloved friends, we MUST go there one day! I know some of the secret locations for good photos now. LoL...

Fat!

I gave up.


I gave up my attempts to lose those extra pounds. I'm just thankful that I am not gaining any.

I have always been plump since young. Born 3.5kg, I looked very chubby as a baby. When I was still inside my mummy's tummy, she has this ravenous appetite to eat just about anything. No morning sickness, no loss of appetite. I guess that contributed.

As a baby, I quit drinking formula milk at the age of 1+. Shifted to Milo instead. Yes, I am a Milo baby. My favourite food as a kid, cheese with bread. And Ribena.

In Primary school, I was among the ‘fat’ kid. Looking at pictures, I was plump and to tell you the truth, I do have low self-esteem because of that. It got better in Secondary school but weight is still an issue for me.

I was the slimmest when I was at the low of my life. Few years ago (about 4-5 years ago), I was feeling so depressed, I lost the appetite to eat. And I can’t believe how fast I shed the extra weight.

I am trying hard to get back to that size but to no avail. Cutting down food, exercising daily and even visiting a slimming centre as the last resort. I can’t go on a strict diet as I can’t resist the temptations to eat good food.

So yes, I gave up.

I’m trying to convince myself to be in love with my body. :P

Rain

2.50pm


It's raining cats and dogs outside.
Sometimes I just have this feeling of going out and walk in the rain.
When was the last time you've done that? I know what you're thinking. Siao meh? Crazy ar? Sot jor?
I remember there was once in Secondary school where we had to run around the lake near our school. It rained half way and there was no shelter along the way. We were drenched from head to toe.
There was this other time when I'm in a middle of a run when it started to pour. And the most recent, was during Lee Hom's concert. Luckily at th concert, I had on my trusty yellow rain coat.
Anyway, I am so bored now. Another 10 mins, I have to give an induction. Least favourite thing to do. Some people are born to be influential and can pull off an interesting session even if the topic is super dry. I, on the other hand, can make an interesting topic very dull.
I do feel envious on those who can speak so confidently in front of a large crowd.
I hate public speaking. :X

5.56pm

Rain has stop. Time to go home...

Happy Labour Day!

Starting the month of May with a song from one of my fave Taiwanese band....

30 mins to May

Almost midnight and I am still working. It's so not me....I think I'm out of my mind since last week. Working overtime and dedicating my after-office hours working my ass off. It's just so not me...
I've been having so many weird dreams recently. Not sure if it's related to all the stressful things to be completed in real life.
Sigh...I need a holiday...

Quotes

Some quotes from Cecilia Ahern's book - The Time of My Life:

"He was persuasive; life has a way of getting what it wants when it really knows what it wants."

"Someone once said, the world is a book and those who do not travel, read only a page."

"I don't know which is more pathetic, not having a dream or Googling other people's."

"As long as you're around, your life is too. So just as you shower love and affection and attention on the husbands, wives, parents, children and forever friends who surround you, you have to do so equally with your life, because it's yours, it's you and it's always there rooting for you, cheering you on, even when you feel like you can't do it."

Life oh life

Those who watches Grey's Anatomy season 8 will know what I'm talking about. This show never fails to make me cry once a while.
There is this particular episode about an old couple, who is about to celebrate their 50 years of marriage. On the day that  they are about to go for a cruise (a gift from their children), the husband had a heart attack and has to go through a coronary bypass. The wife is so so so worried, but the husband remains calm. He even asks the wife to wish him happy anniversary when he comes out of the surgery.
The surgery went well. As the husband wakes up and is anxious to see his wife again, the doc came and told him that his wife passed away when he was in surgery.
It's such a sad scene. It reminds me of Romeo and Juliet.
That's life. It can be cruel, it can be kind, it can be bitter, it can be sweet. It's just a matter of time when we have to face that moment where we will feel that nothing matters anymore. It's just a matter of time when we feel that we are the happiest.

Till then, treasure each moment and tell those you love, that you love them.

XOXO

Food Review:Pastis Cafe

I tried this a while back and was quite satisfied with the food, or rather, the dessert. 

I ordered:

1. Chicken pie

It's hard to find a good chicken pie here in KL but this is surprisingly good! It comes with a generous scoop of yummy mash potatoes. some mashed green peas and mushroom sauce.

2. Bread and butter pudding with ice cream

One of the better tasting of bread pudding I've tried. I am not a big fan or bread pudding but I enjoyed this one.

I will definitely re-visit the place and try out other items on their menu.
