Can't stop eating!

Cooking is an easy task for my mum. She can turn anything into a yummy meal without any problem.. She is like a magician in the kitchen!

I remember when we were studying in AUS, she would make seven layers kuih, ham jim peng, tou sa pao, sticky rice and other hometown delicacies for us to eat... for she knew how much we missed them.... Mum's cooking is always the best! The food are always bursting with her love and also ingredients! haha... We always laughed that, if she were to sell them in shops, she wouldn't make any money at all... She did make to sell a few times, upon friends' requests. In the end, those 'businesses' turned into charity work haha....

Mum must be feeling inspired again.. Because when I returned home yesterday, she immediately came to the door and happily told me that she had made chai kuih, sponge cake, BBQ pork buns and white bread.. Then she started pulling everything out and put on a plate for me to eat... i felt as if I was having a buffet at home! haha..

I had to stop her from giving me too much snacks... not that I don't appreciate her kindness, but because it was dinner time.. and i saw that there were 1 pot of black bean pork soup, 1 pot of pork leg soup, omelet & vege on the table, waiting for me to finish! I finished everything mum gave me and also the omelet, vege and some pork leg and black bean pork... *burp*

This morning, I had 3 BBQ pork buns for breakfast. I also brought with me a few pieces of sponge cakes and white bread + strawberry and apricot jam for tea break... Gosh, they went soOOooo well with a cup of coffee!

Stop to fill my stomach so can continue to work hard!

It was a wonderful morning...! *la la la... *

A taste of my own memory

While on my way to meet my friend at McD, I spotted the man who gave me many wonderful memories. Then I decided to detour and went to him *sorry friend for being a bit late*

I wanted to re-live my memory. I wanted to know where he has been all these years. I also wanted to ask if he still remembers me.

I was chasing behind him under the hot sun like a stalker. When I was finally close enough to him, I yelled out from behind

'ice cream!'

Just like old times, he stopped and turned around. Yes, that's the same man who used to come to my neighbouhood to sell ice cream. He still looks the same, but much much older....

I saw the buns in his basket. Immediately I ordered a 'gu you bao ice cream' (butter bun with ice cream). Unfortunately, all he had that day was roti kosong (plain bun). Aiya! I really wanted to eat that. Since I was going to have McD later, i thought i should save some room for the McD meal.. so I switched my order to ice cream cone. That day's special was yam ice cream! YUMMMMmmm... my favourite yam! *lucky*

It's YAM !

He opened the cooler that is on his bicycle and started digging out a scoop of purple coloured ice cream. I felt like a little kid again, waiting eagerly to receive my ice cream from the ice cream man.

I told him I used to buy ice cream from him when I was a kid and that I haven't seen him for a long time and asked how come he stops coming to my neighbourhood. He didn't say anything. He just smiled.

As soon as I got my ice cream cone, I tasted it. It was yummy! I was in my own world with my childhood memories flashing by. The feeling is just as I have remembered.

I accidentally took a picture of his hand. Time has definitely left a trace. It kinda saddens me. Will I still see him next time?

岁月的痕迹

No matter what happens, he will always be part of my memory... for as long as i live....

O Che Face

My right cheek is still a bit swollen and bruised. 

Poor me, i got hit... >__<  it almost got my right eye but luckily i am tall, it hit the side of my eye instead! Aren't I lucky? *自我安慰*

Check out the big 'pimple' near my right eye

So what happened? Who has the guts to bully a giant like me? *looking for the guilty party*

The big bully is indeed very big.. both her guts and body size. I looked at my swollen face in the mirror.... And the guilty party looked back and laughed at me... for being soOOo careless....

I was at my friend's house the other night. Half way thru talking, I realised that I'd left my mobile phone in the car... I worried I would miss calls from friends (who might thought I were dead if i didn't pick up) so I quickly ran to the car to grab it.... 

I opened the car door like normal but as the car was parked too close to a drain, i leaned forward a bit and Bang!, i hit myself... right in the face! It was darn painful i tell u! I almost screamed but being a lady, i held back ... The area near my right eye was instantly swollen.. i quickly rubbed it hoping it would subside and most importantly, bruise-free.... 

Well, it didn't work.. it is swollen and bruised.... The good thing about having a big face is that, nobody noticed about it.. they probably mistook it as a super duber big pimple, serious eyebag problem or just dark circle due to lack of sleep... 

Well, the lessons learned? Life is the way u act.. You can either cry or get angry when bad things happen and have a miserable life OR face and solve your problems and learn from them.. 

For me, I've learnt never ever to rush when doing something... Take it easy, then life will be breezy...

單純一點，簡單一些

昨晚和遠方來的親戚們吃晚飯。他們分享了很多有趣的事情。我因為肚子太餓了，只忙著吃東西，對他們說的話也沒記得很多。哈哈~ 都是自己太貪吃！

其中一個我最有印像的笑話就是發生在我來到地球之前。話說我媽，阿姨和舅舅們還是少男少女的時候，他們家附近有家工廠。工廠請了很多‘辣仔’。記得有一次我媽的家買了一架新電視，因為當時電視是稀有物品，工友們很好奇，大家都跑來家裡看電視。

其中一支是牙膏廣告。廣告中有個漂亮女生刷牙，然後嘴裡散發出很多花朵。工友們看了很開心，大家第二天都跑到商店去買跟廣告中一模一樣的牙膏。大家在水溝邊排排站，一起很用力的刷牙，但刷了老半天都不見一朵花從嘴裡出來。對啊，他們去做了才懂原来那只是廣告效果！

以前的人真的很單純啊... 去做了會有所领悟。 人是從什麼時候開始變復雜的？現代的人甚麼也不相信。儘管用心煮了很多免錢，好吃又有營養的飯菜捧在他們面前，還是沒人要吃。還得被懷疑耶。其實只要你吃吃看，就会知道它的味道了。就那麼簡單。朋友們，你愿意吃一口嗎？

In the middle of the night....

I was in the study room doing my tax computation at 1am last night.. It's that time of the year again!? Hate it!! Coz it means money going out.. my income is already so low, please spare me le... oh well, like people always say, there are 2 things u can't avoid in life ~ death and taxes!

Well, mum came downstairs and found me still 'awake'. She kept nagging at me. I know, it's for my good.... coz she wants me to rest early.... ^^ But the thing is, she was still awake herself.. And guess what? She was in the kitchen making food which she would be bringing to morning exercise to share the next day (or should I say, in a few hours time? Hehe). So, she asked me to go to sleep while she made food in the middle of the night? So not persuasive haha..

Well, guess what she made....

Tiny sandwiches!

These were delicious! Mum made these pretty late at night. Hope she wasn't sleep-walking when she did these haha...

On Fire!!

Here is a horror story.. if you have weak heart, please skip...

Ok, don't say I didn't warn you! Read at your own risk! hehe...

I finally can type with both hands! \(^^)/

The other morning, i accidentally burned my right hand with BOILING WATER T_____T

I wanted to fill my bottle with hot water and when i picked the electric kettle up, the cable didn't completely detach...Next second, hot water splashed out and burned my hand. It was so painful that all i wanted to do is to release the kettle from my hand and soak my poor hand in freezing water to kill the pain!

But i didn't let go because if i did, the kettle would drop onto the floor, hot water would splash out and burned my other legs and feet... Will power is very important!

As soon as i put the kettle away, I quickly applied ointment all over my right hand. it burned even more! Now i know it feels to be cooked alive in hot water! *生不如死* But the ointment did manage to reduce my pain...... a bit.... :'(

Still cooking...

My hand was painful for the whole day... it's like it continued to be cooked even though I'd done everything I could think of to cool it. A slight touch of water sent pain down my spine, which means, after toilet, i couldn't wash my right hand *ewwww...* haha, actually, i did wipe my right hand with wet tissues paper la.. i couldn't bear a 'dirty' hand too :P

During shower, I waved my right hand in the air to avoid water.. it's like i was in a music concert, except that there wasn't anybody singing... And it was darn hard doing things with just one hand.. pulling up pants and button up shirts required more effort than usual...... Everything took longer ....

My right hand turned from raw red to blue-black after a few days, then skin started to peel off.. i was like a snake, changing its skin! it was scary to look at but it's good to know that my right hand is healing by itself...

Changing new 'clothes'

I've burnt my fingers by touching hot pots before but never did i know that being burnt by boiling water can be this painful too! oh well, at least I survived. The next time I get asked about being burnt, i could reply with confidence, "Been there. Done that!"

不幸中的大幸!

我真的很烏龍!!

上星期四早上，我到公司後才發現我把裡面裝有我的早餐和水的包包留在家門外。我很少會忘記的。早餐耶，是我一天中最重要的一餐！還有我是出了名的水桶。我每天都要喝很多很多的水，所以我都會帶自己的水瓶去上班。嗯，我是幫公司省錢的好員工！哈~ 所以啊，忘了這麼重要的東西真的不是我的作風！

由于我不想參與塞車，所以我等了約一個小時才開車回家去。到家裡時，我發現我家裡‘冒煙’!! 是真的冒煙啊！好多好多烏煙從窗口冒出來。我立刻想起我早上有熱湯但忘了關瓦斯啦 >_<

剛好我爸媽沒在家，沒人發現那鍋黑豆豬肉湯還在滾。結果鍋子和裡頭的黑豆和豬肉焦掉了。家裡被臭臭的煙包圍。鍋子黑了，裡面的黑豆豬肉也變成黑炭了.....

我後來回想所看到和發生的，我沒想到自己竟然那麼冷靜! 以前的我一定會很緊張，生氣。會怪天怪地。現在的我反而很感恩。感謝我忘了帶早餐和水瓶。因為我的建忘我才會回家。才會發現瓦斯沒關。我的家才會安然無恙。

我發現，原來從另一個角度看事情，真的可以很自在！
