Childhood Food Craze= Melacca Satay Celup

last week went down to Melacca to visit my grandma..was a one day trip...left after my dad off work...went down there for lunch...coz wanna eat the uber nice cendol and the nyonya laksa..

reached melacca around 3pm...went straight to Jonker


the very traditional Fried Lobak Kuih...i still can remember how it tasted like...used to had it everytime i went back melacca..back then we were staying at Jln Ong Kim Wee..on those shop houses..and my uncle would wait for this man riding on a motorcycle selling Fried Lobak Kuih on Sunday mornings...the taste of it...its damn aromatic and nice...those in KL is nothing compared to the ones selling in Melacca



still look like CNY season huh...

hot weather...

dunno why melacca is famous for pineapple tarts...there's alot of shops selling pineapple tarts in Jonker...so this is like the biggest pineapple tart ever??haha

some uncle drawing on the sidewalk...

chinese temple..opposite the famous Kuan Yin Ting

and this is famous Kuan Yin Ting..

on the way to grandma hse...saw this SLK...what caught my attention was the malay lady driver was fetching a carfull of passengers...two humans infront..and two HUGE Garfield behind..lol

heading out for dinner....got out the house and saw that the rubbish bin was opened and all the rubbish was all over the place...guess who did the GOOD job??

none other than those notorious monkeys in the neighbourhood...

attacking some other house's rubbish bin..

more of their peers came and joined the fun...

they're huge...HUGE...
for a city gal like me which basically spend the past 20 years in the city...seeing something like this is considered something bizaar...so i snapped abit too many pics on the monkeys..

having their own feast..they saw the car coming..yet they refused to BUDGE!!!!

and at last second...the car ad stopped there...only they wanna run for their lives...how funny creatures...and not forgetting to bring their food along with them..

on the way to my satay celup meal in at the place i used to stay...my couz...

at the age of 7...she takes good pictures..hahaha

tada!!!!...i've been craving for this meal for so long that i couldnt even remembered how long it was..haha...this is the same shop that i went back when i last had my satay celup meal when i was young

bread and cucumber

you get to choose what kinda satay you want...but the best i think is taiwanese sausages,pork balls,sotongs and the fish paste thingy which i call "flying saucer"...ahaha actually it was my bro who started calling it that name..and ever since it has made its name in my household.

and you're to dip the satays in the pot of sause...its like normal kajang satay sauce..maybe not as thick la...

and this is what i did everytime i ate satay celup back in those younger days..i couldnt take the spiciness of the sauce but yet i still wanna eat...so i'll asked for a bowl of hot water..and after dipping the satay into the peanut sauce, i'll "wash" it in the bowl of hot water to remove the chilli...and it was still quite spicy back then...but now...the sauce was like nothing to me..hahah..not spicy at all...

after dinner...went to visit my grandma's sis...this is the Eye of Msia..now in Melacca


some very random pics coming up...

came back home after visiting...and the cats got into the house while waiting to be fed..tiger went into the toilet..thought she wanna take a piss or wanna poo...

but she went for a drink...she always like to drink from this big pale of water in the toilet..god knows why...lol

muahahahhaah!!!caught in action..lol

mondays is my freeest day...so after class ended..rotted at home for the whole day til i couldnt take it anymore..suggested to go for a swim...

after our swimming session, me and rui went out for dinner...beautiful sky...

starving people..lol...she wanted to have carls jr..so there we went...at midvalley...

fries and these sause...best combination ever..

our food..yummy...but we couldnt finish all the fries...so much of the AUSTRALIA food huh rui...(inside joke)

in uni..after choir..

its been ages since we took pic in uni...my pempuan kesayangans...lala, and ling...rui was at choir class at that time...

wanna be cool..but got abit too carried away..hahaha...me bad...purposedly snap from below..hahaha

emo-ed again..since last nite...

last nite was hell of a time...drank abit too much...beers and shot...and a puff...send me way up to "heaven"...

and woke up feeling like shyt this morning...sigh...alcohol...wonders how my body is coping with the alcohol and the late nites...

next post...Bangkok Jazz...

til then...

good nite..

Muahzmuahz...

A House Thats Not Home

i'm not gonna come home for some time...few weeks??one month??few months??or maybe til i grad...

this is not my home..but a place where i'm tortured mentally...

some times when explanations and questions doesnt do any justice and its just dont matter anymore..all you gotta do is just to remain ur silence..calm urself down and to walk off without even looking back..yes the time has come where its time i gotta put an end to all these nonsence..enough is enough...

feeling a sense of relieve knowing that i'm in full control of my life since the moment i got shot dead without even knowing why...so please..do everyone a favour...stop bother asking or knowing or even care of what imma do with my life and my future...its my life, not urs..so stop condemning me and dominating my life like its urs..its not..so its time to be selfish...

a place called house, but its never really a home to me...most that i got from this house has nothing but fights and quarells since many years ago.

and i'm really sick sick sick of all these...so now i'm doing myself and you a favour..i'll disappear from this place...

til then...
Good Bye.

Homey

i'm such a homey person...always at home...bumming around..if i'm not doing hsechores i'll be sitting rite infront of my lappy surfing the net or watching series...if not i'll just be at my piano practising..just dun wanna go out i guess...whats there to do?malls??its not like i've got things to shop for...plus i keep seeing the same clothes, same shoes everywhere..so why bother going out shopping??unless i really have nothing better to do...

i've been starving since i woke up like 2 and a half hours ago..dun wanna eat..coz i dun wanna eat much??what kinda diet i have...sigh..but i've managed to put on some weight la..no more 45-46kg anymore...47kg..at least better than nothing rite??plus i've managed to sing better and have better support lately...so yea...this is my ideal weight..haha..i've been lucky to be able to wake up late without the naggings...but shyt still happens...parents...sigh...no matter what you do..u'll still get naggings...be it right or wrong...as a joke or when ur talking serious shyts...thats what parents are...most of the time they never fail to get on my nerves...but then...forget bout it la...thats life...

see i'm bumming in the house again..actually there are things to be done..like cleaning the toilet and practise my piano..guess i'm too lazy...weekends are meant for me to get some rest...relax myself from the busy schedules and classes during my weekdays...but then...didnt had a good sleep last nite...woke up with a terible backache...i'm old.....lol..is it me who's didnt take good care of myself or what??coz my body condition is far worse from my parents and for a person my age...body aching every now and then...painful joints at cold places or during rainy days...gosh i sound like a granny...lol

enough of crapping for now..gotta go clean the toilet...
ciaoz..

Whats left to be feel??to be seen??

everytime i stumbled upon some blog on the internet...i'll feel very inspirational and i actually wanna blog bout my thoughts...somehow there's so many things that i would like to pen it down rite here...but i'm lost in words...so i guess i'll just talk nonsense here..

imma going down melacca in an hours time...to visit my grandma and more yummy melacca food...i miss my cendol...

sometimes i think i'm always living in denial...refuse to think bout things that will upset me...i remembered telling my fren...dont worry so much...things will happen no matter what...so dun think bout them when they're still not a problem yet..only think bout what matters now...solve things one at a time...things will be better that way..

closed my mind to stop myself from thinking irrelevant stuff...and i'm happier...it take lots of determination and energy to focus and close ur mind...its not easy.but its something i gotta do for myself..coz i believe its for the best of all worlds..one day i'm sure that i'll thank myself for it...

how i treat my blog??what my blog is to me??i guess they're a big part of me...when i'm bored i'll just bummed around in my blog...when i've got something to say..i'll pen it rite down here...its kinda public..to share some thoughts and feelings here...maybe a big part of my life too...but in the long run..my blogs are usefull in a way...when 10 years down the road..if blogspot still here..i'll be able to turn back and take a look of my past...its nostalgic...remind me what are the shyts and what are the good old sweet memories of mine...and to see..what i've become in future..how much i've changed....thats why i take the effort to blog even when i'm really tired some days...

one thing's for sure..i'm still the clumsy and reckless me that i used to be...the other day i was so tired...i slept thru the entire student recital...when it was over..woke up, stood up to take my books below the seat..bend down and i hit my head on the foldable table...it hurts like shyt i tell you...and it still do..just not as bad as few days back...and now which reminds me that i almost got into accident a few times...practise makes perfect i guess..so i gotta drive more...daddy...CAR PLEASE!!!! lol...
i can even get lost in shopping malls..how great is that??? i guess i'm not that independant after all...lol..but gotta get used to it..haha..there are things that i wish i could do...sit alone at starbucks, with my lappy, or a book and my favourite ice-blended caramel...or to travel alone...just go wherever i want...no limits...no bounderies...learn to observe people around you..sometimes it can be rather rewarding...may it be a good laugh or as a lesson...


there's this phrase that i really like...

REASONS come before FEELINGS...


it shows how life can be so 无奈
happy endings??nah....
you can say that i'm a very negetive person..maybe i am...but people changed when they hit rock bottom...no more naive hueyhsiang...

bla bla bla...there goes me crapping bout nonsense rite from the start...

Garhh!! Just Forget Bout It!!!

its damn frustrating to see people fighting..quarelling over the smallest matter...and it snow balled to something totally irrelevant..suddenly it hit me so hard that i'm so damn sick of all the arguements...this is not something i'll wanna encounter for my coming days...yea relationship can be really lovey dovey at times..but once there's arguement...its not a good sight...so damn sick of all the fights...its emotionally,mentally and physically challenging and tiring...

uni life has gone really stressful and busy lately...no more honeymoon semesters for me...
btw lately i was thinking about what i wanna do after grad...some wanna continue their studies in abroad, some wanna take another course...damn study life is damn good and flexible...i was suddenly awaken by this sentence quoted from rui:" i dont want to be teaching and facing piano, music for the rest of my life after grad...dont think you wanna teach for the rest of your life dont you??"
some things are meant to be done when your young...have the guts and chance in doing something beyond ur wildest dreams..and not just live the life like how your parents mapped out for you...just a thought...that i wanna be an air stewardess after grad...work for 2 years or so...only tie down myself with Yamaha for the rest of my life teaching..but of coz...i'll be doing something else for a living too...maybe in the performing industry??vocalist??accompanist??i dont think i can do much with my violin since i'm actually abandoning it...somehow i kinda lost my liking for violin..or is it coz i didnt focus enough and work hard enough for it??my attention was kinda drifted away into singing...so if i'm able to be a good vocalist..maybe i could consider to be a performer?? this is just a thought..but teaching in Yamaha is sorta like a must thing for me as there will be where imma start my teaching career...but the thing is..do i really wanna teach for the rest of my life??am i a teacher material?? with my bad temper and super lousy communication skills especially with the kids...i think i'm gonna die....

maybe upon graduating..i could scout for the basic allowance for an air stewardess and a music teacher...then i shall decide where am i'm going to head towards...good idea??lol...me being an air stewardess..this is like the wildest dreams..totally unimaginable...i think its gonna be a good job..coz u'll get to travel to different places...another life experience i think which will be a good one to have. an eye-opening experience...maybe also a good way to leave those unhappy things behind you to search for what you trully wants??
oh yea..maybe i could further my masters in US??thats if i'm able to apply scholarship...but then..the possibilty is kinda low seeing that i might need to help earn a living for my family...

sometimes its not that you've got a choice in what u wanna do for ur life...sometimes there are consequences..where you'll need to sacrifice urself for the bigger party...am i gonna be selfish?or i'm gonna sacrifice my time?


some random pics for this post...i think i just bored you guys out...

the disco ball i got for rui for her 20th birthday...now her car is a "bim boom car"...lol


Twin Towers..went there on monday..bummed around in the park...on the way back to KLCC got a few shots...


i look like a small gal...or innocent looking??hahah...oh yea..its blur face...haha..taken today in the recital hall when i was attending student recital...

choices with consequences...think bout it...

Greatest Story Ever Told

Thank you for this moment

I've gotta say how beautiful you are

Of all the hopes and dreams

I could have prayed for

Here you are

If I could have one dance forever

I would take you by the hand

Tonight it's you and I together

I'm so glad I'm your man

And if I lived a thousand years

You know I never could explain

The way I lost my heart to you that day

but if destiny decided I should look the other way

then the world would never know

the greatest story ever told

and did I tell you that I love you

tonight

I don't hear the music

When I'm looking in your eyes

But I feel the rhythm of your body

Close to mine

It's the way we touch, it soothes me

It's the way we'll always be

your kiss your pretty smile

you know i'd die for

oh baby

you're all i need

And if I lived a thousand years

You know I never could explain

The way I lost my heart to you that day

but if destiny decided I should look the other way

then the world would never know

the greatest story ever told

and did I tell you that I love you

just how much i really need you

did I tell you that I love you

tonight

tonight

And if I lived a thousand years

You know I never could explain

The way I lost my heart to you that day

but if destiny decided I should look the other way

then the world would never know

the greatest story ever told

and did I tell you that I love you

just how much I really need you

did I tell you that I love you

tonight
