Eating non-stop

I've been eating a lot lately... U r probably thinking "what's new? we all know u eat a lot"... haha... the thing is, it's a bit too much lo :P

I think it's because it's almost weekend.... The relaxed mood is the thing that makes one eats a lot.... because the best way to celebrate the coming of weekend is to eat all u can!  yayee... okie, that's my logic to hypnotize myself that it's OK to eat non-stop... u don't have to agree hehe...

I have been craving for kolo mee  since the Raya holiday a few weeks ago.... I didn't manage to satisfy the craving that time and so, the craving continues and it grows stronger and stronger each day! The solution? Eat a bowl of kolo mee of course... aren't i clever? haha...

Kolo mee + teh c 

I also had cheese muffin mum bought from The Loaf in KL + a cup of black coffee (my 1st black coffee btw. Didn't know it tastes a bit "sour"). They were my lunch, round one.. haha, why? because my friend suddenly called at 1130am and asked me for a lunch date... She just passed her exam and was in the mood to celebrate.. I love celebration! So we went to Tempayan for their big club sandwich and... i completed the meal by washing it down with a super duber big glass of teh tarik... That is lunch, round 2. Honestly, I was really full after that.. I can't believe i had 2 rounds of lunch in one afternoon! Who wants to challenge me? *in fighter mode* hehe...

imported lunch

When i came back to the office, my colleague passed me a big piece of cheesecake... wah... what's the occasion today? Why is everyone stuffing me with food....? I'm already "cute" (fat) the way i am.. well, i guess they would like me to become cuter haha.... It's not nice to reject ppl's kindness and wasting food is a big No No, so I cleaned up the cheesecake presented to me...  

Now that I listed down the things i had, i realised that I had a 3 course meal for lunch! You see, muffin + coffee were my appetizers, club sandwich + teh tarik were the main course and cheesecake was dessert! Wow, that's amazing! haha...  And i wonder how many kgs i just gained in one afternoon! haha... I know i am the one to blame.. if i have to will power, i will not eat so much.. but the thing is, the 'enemies' are just too strong .... So i surrendered :P

"Sometimes it's not because we can go on a diet,

it's because the enemy is too strong" ~ so true!

Food.. who can resist anyway? Since u can't beat them, might as well join them, right?

BTW, this is a new thing invented.. It's spaghetti the Hakka style!

It's lui cha spaghetti!

Hakka style! 

It tasted pretty good... a bit bitter.. just like life sometimes haha...

A child u love and hate...

I was looking through the apps store last night and  was so happy when i saw that i could download Shin Chan Comics for free! haha, that really reminded me of my teenage years..  *walking  down memory lane*

i remember buying the comics and bringing to AUS... My brothers and sisters cherished them like gold. We read them over and over again...... We also bought the VCDs  and watched the cartoon together on a daily basis and laughed and laughed and laughed because Shin Chan is just soOOoo darn naughty and creative...! And only Shin Chan came out with those innovative ways to upset people.. haha...  but I bet it wouldn't be so funny if i were the victim... :S 

My Collection

Yayee... i could read and read again on my iphone! What's more, i actually 'carry' 20 books in one little device!! Smart phone is the greatest thing ever invented! Of coz, a coin has two sides.. it can be the worst thing ever invented too.. but right now, i think the pros > cons hehehehe...

Quick & Yummy!

I remember, when i was small, i used to eat 3 packets of Mi Goreng at one time.... We were such a big eaters that my mum always bought boxes of mi goreng to put at home so she didn't have to go to the supermarket too often.  Instant noodle is a life savers especially during lazy moments or due to sudden hunger. It's so easy and fast to cook... just the thing I like :P

Some of the cafes here have instant noodle as one of their dishes. My colleague once paid maggie mee + one egg for $2.50.  Some cafes even have upgraded version. They put in more ingredients, take a nice picture of it and display it in their menus to tempt people like Datuk Heng hehe...... And yeah, it does really look kinda tempting! *心动* 

I've been wanting to try it but every time I wanted to order, , my brain would stop me... I would start to go through the calculations in my mind ahahahaha ~~ For $7.90, the cafe version of instant noodle comes with 1 hot dog, 1 string of vege, 1 egg and 1 packet of instant noodle.  If i were to cook it at home, my version would be  1 Grade A egg 50 cents + 1 string of vege 30 cents + 1 hot dog 50 cents + 1 packet of instant noodles 70 cents. Total cost is only $2! I know,  I know, we have to pay for the ambiance and services too... 

I won't mind paying that kind of price if it is something too complicated to make at home... And u know,  the cafe version of instant noodle is really not a complicated one. It doesn't come with special soup made with secret recipe nor is the noodle handmade or something. Like me, they also take 2 minutes to cook...I really find it difficult to convince myself to pay $5.90 more to eat something I can make better at home... I bet the cafes hate customers like me who always try to calculate their costs before ordering.. oh well, money isn't easy to earn... ahahahaha... And i blame my occupation for my calculative habit! :P

This morning, I had my version of quick & yummy noodles as breakfast... It only took me 2 minutes to assemble everything... 

All i did was ~ cooked the Japanese noodles like how u cook maggie mee, then throw in some  vegetable from the garden, then one Grade A egg. I didn't have hot dog at home so, I topped it with the leftover pork from last night's dinner instead.

Jenn, the lazy chef cooked this :P

It's definitely much healthier than the cafe version and bigger portion too :P

What's more, this is a good way to ensure that no food gets wasted at home~~~ I'm sure my mum is proud to have a good daughter like me... y(^_^)y

Many people get confused when they see us.... The most heard remark is "I can't tell you guys apart!". Strangers say that a lot.... Some friends still get confused.... They still take 1 minute looking at us, trying to find some clues.. I don't know what clues they are looking for, which can tell us apart.. Can u let me know? Is it the hair? Or the eyes? Or is it the way we talk or our expressions? 

I always think, Jane and I do not look alike... Some people say we don't need a mirror at all because all we need to do is look at each other ... But the thing is, every time i look at Jane, I don't think I look like her! Jane thinks so too.... I guess mirror is still required la... Just in case i have ketchup on my face and Jane doesn't.. hehe...

One article said, identical twins look exactly the same when they are small ~ They wear the same clothes, same hairstyle and go to the same school, meet the same friends. 

At their teenage years, they start to be a little bit different. They start to have different interests, different strengths, start to have different friends...

When they get a little more mature, they start to become totally different both in personalities and look.... due to different exposures in lives... It's true.... U can tell from the picture below that we don't look identical anymore...

This is our most recent photo... Can you tell us apart? See? I told ya, we don't look the same...

There are 2 things that will always be the same ~~~~ we will always be the adorable twins you know of and we will always be fun to be with! y(^V^)y  I see Jane nodding her head hard... Looks like we still have many similarities despite our different looks and personalities..... Twins.. how can u not love them? buahaha..  

It's a happy day!

X'mas is still months away and here i'm, opening my present! V(^v^)V The feeling is SUPERB!

This X'mas present doesn't come free from Santa Claus though.... It's currently still owned by my bank because I've yet to pay off my credit card bill :S Whatever it is,  I'm still happy... Opening parcel is just so much fun! haha... 

Oooo, what's inside?

These are luggage scales. Ha! No more paying luggage overweight penalties because I can now 'plan' ahead accurately! hiak hiak hiak... 

 Jane chose the green one.. 

So it's purple for me! 

Jane received my purchases from Taobao weeks ago.. I can't wait to feel them with my own hands (feel real this way hehe..) and wear them (even more real this way! ha!)! 

jane has opened my presents on my behalf

More 'presents' to come soon... *can't wait!*

Today, i saw online coupon for strawberry/blueberry smoothies.. Hmm... my fingers are feeling 'itchy', I kinda  feel thirsty all of a sudden.... I wonder why?

Alrighty, i gotta go.. have something very important to do... :P                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

Scary morning

This morning, while i was still in my dreamland, i heard a loud BANG followed by screams. Instantly, i jumped up from my bed. It was still dark and drizzling..... I looked out from my window and was shocked at what i saw! Somebody just crashed into bush next to my home! The white car must have skidded due to the wet road and it fell from the high road to the bush next to my home. The car was quite damaged and the scariest part is, there were people screaming for help in the car! 

I quickly ran to the victims.. There was already a small crowd at the scene and before i reached the accident scene, one of the pedestrians shouted to me to call an ambulance... Oh gosh, someone is injured! This is serious! While running back to my home, i was praying hard in my heart for the victims. I sincerely hoped that they will be fine...

I dialed the emergency number and a lady picked up the phone and greeted me, by my name. No time for good customer service... OK OK, it's good service.. i know they have my information, just in case it's a prank call, they know where to look for me. ha! Anyway, she passed me to the ambulance section.. The guy asked me sOOoooOoo many questions! I know it's their standard process.. but at critical time like this, i really felt that it's a bit too long...... The longer I wait, the longer the victims suffer T___T

He asked me to go back to the scene to find out more about the accidents and the victims, like how many children and adults, what kind of injury, whether they are in pain @_@ I think he wanted accurate information so he could arrange proper equipment and officers to come over... 

OMG,  A closer look, it was more serious that I'd imagined! The 3 kids were badly injured! There was blood all over the victims and car... The poor girl was stuck in the car while a small boy has deep cuts on his head and blood could be seen coming out from his eyes like tears! Another small boy was lying on the grass unconscious... The poor mum who has bruises and cuts kept touching her young boy.... She kept apologising to her children.... saying that she didn't drive fast at all, how did this happened? Sigh.. it was a heartbreaking scene... :(

My neighbour successfully rescued the young girl from the car.. I held an umbrella over her to prevent her from getting wet. I couldn't do much except giving her faith.. She told me she is in pain. I told her that she would be fine. The ambulance is on the way to save her. I asked her for her name, how old she is, how many brothers & sisters she has etc....  I don't know what else to do except keeping her awake and calming her down.... I asked her to pray to Jesus.... She obediently did that... Then her dad arrived at the scene. The little girl asked her dad to pray for her as well.. It was such a touching scene...

The victims were taken away by 2 ambulances... I wonder how they are doing now.. I hope they make it through...and that there are no permanent damages caused. I hope they are able to jump and down like they used to.... I hope they recover fast....

I was very late to work.. After seeing what happened, I really felt that life is really full of uncertainties. Last night, the family might be having a fun time together at food fair, then the next day, 3 out of the 5 family members are facing life & death situation.... 

We must cherish everyone and everything we have in life.. let's not waste time complaining how unfair life is.. let's not take things for granted... because  what we love will disappear all of a sudden.... no matter how u do not want this to happen... it will still happen.... 

...Disappear like morning dew

Wise Vs Wild Spending

Many people these days cannot live without internet... And because of that, many eateries & cafes offer free wifi as one of the ways to attract customers. There is even portable internet so people could go online anytime, anywhere. And sadly to say, I myself is turning into one of those people! haha...But am considered a 'light addict" because I do not subscribe to portable internet and don't mind being internet-less for a while ... yes, i still can live without internet hehe... BTW, do you know that some buses in HK provide free wifi too? Cool right!

Internet has made things very easy for us I must say.. And it also makes communicating with loved ones living abroad very convenient! So convenient that I feel as if we are never apart! Sometimes, I still miss the old fashion communication though.... love the feeling of receiving hard copy of handwritten letters!

I remember, i used to Q up for more than 1 hour just to pay my telephone, electricity etc bills. it was such a waste of my beautiful Saturday morning! Then when the companies no longer open on Saturdays, I had to sacrifice my precious lunch hour to rush to settle the bills... Sometimes I had to skip lunch because of the slow service >//< Then one day, i discovered that i could see my bills and pay my bills online for FREE!! What's better, I could pay whenever and wherever i like, like at 3 in the morning in Taipei! hiak hiak hiak.... What's more, I don't need to keep hard copies of receipts because the system keeps track of my payment history. So happy that I am saving trees too :P So Cool!

Lately, I started to get addicted to online shopping... Gosh, I never realise that I would become one of those mouse clicker shoppers just like Jane!@_@ I must say, it's just too convenient to resist! hehehe.. Guess what, I've bought coupons for Latte, digital weighing scales, foot spa device, 1 month use of gym.... I do practise my will power when it comes to online shopping.... u see, there are tonnes of things i wanted to get, like the candy floss machine, the 3-in-1 sandwich & waffle maker + BBQ grill, ice cream maker, yogurt maker etc but i didn't buy any of those... Simply because I'm a wise shopper hehehehehe.. OKie, I lied. I'm Jennifer, I'm an online shopaholic.... because i just spent on clothes with Jane on Taobao! T___T

Last weekend, J & I redeemed our food coupon at the cafe. The ice-cream in toast with mulberry sauce was yummy! Half way thru the ice cream, I realised that there was a piece of lettuce in the dessert... What is it for? probably as a decoration i guess.... I ate it anyway, it tasted really yummy, with ice cream!! It managed to make me feel healthy and less guilty for gulping down a fattening dessert! Yes, I can have another dessert! YUuummmm...

drool~~

I redeemed my latte too at a cafe at Waterfront on Sunday. There were a lot of tourists at the cafe and i kinda felt as if i was also on a relaxing holiday somewhere! *dreaming* It's good coz I could be "on holiday" without having to actually spend big bucks on trips! Yayeee.. that's one good reason to spend more online! hahahaha...

I want another cup!

Am waiting for my other online purchases to be sent to me... wooo.. i love opening presents! hehe.. However, I wouldn't be so grateful when i see my big fat credit card bill at the end of this month.... @_@ Nah, let's worry about that later.. In the meantime...

let me just enjoy life and big cheers to internet!! y(^V^)y

XOXO
