Exercising My Stomach

when i say exercise, it's not about training my abs, no push-ups', no sweat...not the physical and external training. it's training to my intestines...in a delicious way.


introducing my breakfast!!!

this is the super curry mee. red and fiery. worth waking up for.^^
early morning eat curry...hebat!
actually, this bowl of curry mee is quite healthy. no santan, got prawns(proteins), mint leaves and taugeh(can prevent constipation? consider veggies wat...), taufu pok(properties unknown=.=). a well balanced bowl.

oh...i have not eat curry mee for a long long long long longggggg time.

curry mee close-up shot. purposely shot to annoy people with the prawn, taufu pok and the taugeh.^^
ipoh is famous for her big fat taugeh. should add one more description - short.

this curry comes not from ipoh but somewhere near ipoh, maybe the cook bought taugehs from ipoh?

ate and dug further, *GASP!* got siew yuk(roasted pork) and si ham(cockles) wor! didn't realise it until i almost finish up the whole bowl.

i have this habit of leaving all the best things for the last. noodles almost finished up but the prawns and other favourites were left "unharmed".

the end of the curry mee. bye bye prawns, taufu pok, siham, taugeh, siew yuk and mint leaves.

never waste my food^^

slurped the soup till the last drop

this is my traditional [belated] birthday meal.
being a hokkienese, every year mum cooks mee suah for the birthday boy/girl/man
this is mine. very delicious and nutritious.
Gee! thanks, mummy!


she always joke that every member of the family gets to eat his mee suah every year except her.
why?
because her daughters and son cooks only instant mee. better, with egg...
so...
i always tell her that i can cook her a bowl of chicken soup maggi + egg + seaweed + crabstick
hahaha!



and, this half-bitten round thingy is "yu pei kok"
the outer layer is made of 90% fish, 10% of other ingredients.
fillings are fresh and bouncy prawns!!! parsley and oh-i-dun-remember

ultra loving the prawns. so juicy and crunchy!

i gonna go back to uni with excess kg's and expended "spare tyre"
i gonna miss the food at home

*,*

conclusion. my intestines are perfectly good food storage.

okok...biologically, intestines do not store food. that was literally. blek!

Food for Thoughts

#1 :

this is a story about 4 people, named Everyday, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.

there was this important task to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.

Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody wouldn't do it.

it ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.


#2:

a middle eastern mystic said...

i was a revolutionary when i was young and all my prayers to God was :
"Lord, give me the energy to change the world."

as i approach middle age and realise that my life was half gone without my changing a single soul, i changed my prayer to :
"Lord, give me the grace to change all those who come into contact with me, just my family and friends. i shall be satisfied."

now that i am an old man, my days are numbered, i have begun to see how foolish i have been. my one pray now is :
"Lord, please give me the grace to change myself."

if i had prayed for this right from the start, i would not have wasted my life.


#3 :

(this piece of poem originated from the Nov 2004 issue of digital family of mexico)

when i turn old

when i turn old, when i am not the original me,
please understand me and have patience with me.

when i drip gravy all over my clothes, when i forgot to tie my shoelaces,
please remember how i taught you what to do, and how to do many things by hand.

when i repeatedly tell you things that you're tired of hearing,
please be patient and listen to me.
please do not interrupt me.
when you were young, i told you the same story over and over again until you were sound asleep.

when i need you to help me to bathe,
please do not scold me.
do you still remember how when you were small i had to coax you you to take a bath?

when i do not understand new technology,
please do not laugh at me or mock me.
please think how i used to be patient with you to answer your every "why".

when my two legs are tired and i cannot walk anymore,
please stretch out your powerful hands to lend me a hand, just like when you were a baby learning to walk, i held both your hands.

when i suddenly forget what subject we are discussing,
please give me a little time to recollect.
actually, it does not matter what we are talking about; as long as you are by my side, i am so contented and happy already.

when you see the old me, please do not be sad.
please understand me and support me, just like how i was with you when you were young and were learning to face life.
at the beginning, i guided you to the path of life.
now, i ask you to keep me accompany to finish this last leg of my life.
give me your love and patience, i will give you a grateful smile, and crystallised in this smile is my endless love for you.



mum showed me these articles which she copied from dunno-where and i thought it's worth sharing.

have a nice day;)

Home Suss Home

there's no place better than my own house, my own room...currently treating myself to my softy bed and cushy pillows. ah...the bliss~

so glad to be at home. gosh! i miss my piano sooooo much! every time, when i come back, the first thing i always do is to play the piano. it has become a routine since my first home-coming from uni. okok! i miss my mum and dad too lah...

i also miss mum's cooking. got fed up with "outside" food especially those from putra food court.

reasons:
1. putra has about 8 stalls, including 1 mamak food stall BUT their menus are like copy cat of each other. nasi goreng kampung, nasi goreng thai, nasi goreng pattaya (Uhh...bet every unis' food court cook the same food too =.="). the difference is mamak stall has an extra to it's menu...ROTI CANAI, another new stall offers sizzling noodles and claypot noodles. a mary brown coming up soon..

2. price. not cheap you know! it is more costly to eat in the food court than to eat outside the uni area.

3. "appearances" of food. as usual malay food are related to spicy-ness and sort of "creamy" (lotsa coconut milk). no bias and racism here. i just think that the food court's food are always either greenish yellow, orange and red. e.g : curry chicken, curry fish, veggies in santan, eggs in chilli sauce...etc. i want more LEAFY GREENS!

so, i started to appreciate mum's home cooked food. they are filled with love! the best thing is...i don't need to pay for the food at home. Yay!

today, when i came back, mum and dad was busy. so, mum prepared a simple dinner comprising of boiled lady fingers with BBQ sauce, a fried veggie and fried luncheon meat with egg plus sweet potatoes "tong sui". simple yet delicious. i took second helpings!

the last piece of luncheon meat...and it's mine!!!
shmeckt fantastisch!

sweet and gingery "tong sui"

so happy~i stuffed myself crazy until i felt terribly full. oo la la!

To whom it may concern

hmm...can we talk?

what happened? what went wrong between us?

we used to laugh, and chat...about lotsa stuff

but now, our friendship took a twist...

it's not the same as before

the feeling's strange, so far apart

please, i don't want you to be my "hi-and-bye-friend"

do you understand?

Malaysia's Public Transport

as usual, if you are to wait for a public transport in malaysia, you need one vital attitude...PATIENCE. and there is a LAW that you need to understand : the bus that you want to get on board is always the hardest to wait for compared to the other buses. and when finally you see the bus coming and you start to continuously flap your arms, signalling for the bus to stop, the bus just zoom off in front of you. ARGH...! so PISSED off lar!!! then, no choice. you have to wait and wait and wait patiently again...

and FINALLY, another bus came, you boarded the bus and ~Voila!~a whole new world! the bus is sooooooo crammed, or like what my friends will always say, "packed like sardines". and yet, when the bus stops at another bus stop, new passengers will keep on squeezing their way into the already-packed-bus. that's when everyone in the bus gets so "intimate" with each other. bodies jostling and hands here and there, searching for support(be it intended or accidental, you know what i mean). also, you can have "aromatherapy" session...for FREE! though most of the "aromas" are weird and hard-to-find, mostly sour...salty?

haih...what to do? public bus is cheaper mah...and nobody likes waiting since they have to wait like hell for the next bus. you can't blame them, really! i am like that too!

well, that's the public bus. the commuter train is almost the same too. the commuter trains during peak hours are really...uhmmm...

once the train stops and the door slides open, everyone will be pushing forward in such a "kiasu" manner that outgoing passengers are often stucked. then, the "compact-ness" in the train allows you to stand steadily meaning that you won't fall down even when the train is taking a turn because everyone is so tightly squeezed to each other that there is hardly any room for you to fall down. yeah...you can breathe in various "bodily scents".

haih...that's our beloved public transports.;P

Addicted to You~

addicted? to who?! hehe...no lah..i am not into a person lar...

lately, i am getting more and more addicted to jazz.

i have always been a fan of jazz. love the syncopated rhythm, the creative improvisations, the "jazzy" chords, the running blue notes, the softness, the calmness and the sexiness it echoes, down to the instruments used...instruments? yeah, speaking of instrument, i think that the sexiest instrument must be the SAXOPHONE! i was like WOW! whenever the music enters into the saxophone solo part. What about piano then? well, piano is not sexy, it's about ELEGANCE. piano jazz are very nice, sometimes playful, it emits an air of peace and tranquility. AHHH...i am going crazy!!!

i always imagine rainy days, lying down on a soft comfy sofa, sipping a cup of hot latte or a glass of the finest wine while listening to the ever-soothing jazz. ah...the blissfull feel. or coming back from a tiring work, then retiring to the cosy sofa, legs stretched on the coffee table with the jazz on..you will fall asleep without bathing that day...oh! or another scenario: you dip yourself in a jacuzzi, closing your eyes, you immersed yourself into the jazzy tunes (then, you fall asleep?)

ok ok! these are very old fashion scenarios indeed. but, this is how i really wish to enjoy music.



surf through the internet for some nice jazz and stumbled upon live-piano.com, which at the moment is featuring a German pianistin gitta hauenherm. sie spielt sehr gut klavier! too bad that all the audio clips are just for preview. anyway, i love her version of "girl from ipanema" and a few others too. then, there's this musician who compose jazz pieces, aaron goldberg. after listening to his album, i felt like running off to the nearest video store to grab his album. i want gitta's album too! going NUTSSS!

Hey, me...listen

it is unbelievable how fast time passes by. i've just finished my second exam for the fifth subject this afternoon, followed by calculus this sunday and a last paper on next friday. there goes my second exam and soon, we will all be sitting for our finals. and, that marks the DOT to our third semester.

come to think of it now, what have i achieved and what did i do in my first year? and, with my third semester coming to an end, have i been progressing compared to last semester? so many question marks plastered to my head. am i really fit to face the world and its society? how ready i am?

gosh! i have been to playfull, lazy(gotta admit that), pampered, spoilt, immature! i have to admit that i am pampering myself too heavily that i am so unwilling to step out of the comfy zone, have been too timid to make a brave decision, have been so "unbothered" to shoulder responsibilities. i have been too "into" my own ideal world.

i've always hope to be able to graduate out as a brilliant and quality graduate that shines brightly among the large quantity of fresh graduates. even when i was still a little girl, i have very high hopes and expatation for myself. i was greedy. i wanted all the best. dreamt that i was granted the scholarship to study in UK, white collar job, live in big banglo with a Steinway&Sons grand piano standing proudly in the spacious room, speeds the coolest car and mom and dad having a nice life. but, where am i standing now? i am nowhere...i am going downhill...

i wonder what makes me change so drastically? from someone who have been giving top most priority to her academics to someone who scores just a mere passing in her subects now? where has all my motivation gone to? my grades in uni sucks!(well, my habits kill me).

i still can't see what's lying ahead of me. i am struggling in my own confusion...(in this case, my stubborness is what that's stopping me)

yee hieng, please do something! WAKE UP!!! DREAM NO MORE!

I WANNA STAND UP AGAIN!!! I WANNA BE STRONGER!!!

My Little Secrets

hm...i wonder if my friends know that~

i had two crushes? well, that's ages ago...i don't think my family knows either!

i hate bras with wire? euuuww....

i admire yundi li very very much to the point that i started imagining things? i imagined him being my brother/neighbour/classmate so that i can listen to his playing LIVE!!! learn from him...

i still do not know how to pay electric bills...?

i felt uncomfortable watching kissing or those love dovey scenes in movies with other people? hm...i prefer watching alone, in that case

i like pleated and scottish-style skirts?

i have about five different skirts in my wardrobe but have never wear them, even once?

i always buy books that i can't finish reading? or stuff that i don't need?

i feel a bit embarassed to walk at the lingerie section/shop?

i pick my nose when no one's watching...ahaahaha!(when my nose feels desperately itchy!)?

i doubted my best friend a few times?(forgotten why it is...)

whenever i am angry with a person, i imagine karate-ing him/her?

i get jealous easily? (i am at a better control now, though. Phew~)

i have not tasted beverages with alcoholic level more than 5%? i wish i can try one...

i wanted to know how it's like to be drunk? wierd, huh?

i think beethoven's fur elise is scarry?

i've said a mega vulgar word to scold someone? well, at that time, i have no idea what that word means...

i cursed someone important to me? (i am so so so so so Sorry)


hm...it feels light~it's sure nice to break free, to vomit out some of those stuff hidden in your "closet", once in a while. isn't it? :)

Oh, NOOOoo! not you again , Mr As Sign Ment

since the day i came back from hometown, i have been mugging at my assignments.

and, yesterday, our lecturer said he would be giving us new assignment. Tadaa! and to think of it, i have yet to even start the previous assignment he gave us last week!

why assignments keep on piling and piling when i still have the old ones? why doesn't this condition happens in terms of financial? why money do not keep on piling up like assignments do? it takes so much effort to produce a piece of assignment but so effortless to spend money.

ok...stop with this money issue.

i think this week, i have been quite "hardworking" already(judging by the fact that i have been watching less episodes of anime;p) hm...maybe my speed is too slow.

i don't mind having to do assignments every week but this week feels busy. so for now, i think i have enough assignments to keep me busy. i don't need new ones!!!

dear assignment, i don't wanna see you...boo~!

Hairy Feedbacks

i went to calculus class today. i dunno how to describe my feelings as i walked into the lecture hall. i felt like hiding somewhere...gosh! it takes a few minutes for me to get use to the situation.

i think my latest haircut has made me unrecognisable. yes? no? well, i think that's the case for mien may. hahahahaha!

the way my friends response really tickles me!

mien may couldn't recognise me on the first glance. she looked a second time and went "Ehhhh!"

then the others came in....here's some of their responses:

chun ann : wah...you cut your hair! normally, this hairstyle can be seen in anime only...
(actually there's some truth to the statement. i like the gundam seed destiny guy, rey! i wanna immitate his hairstyle)
henry : so sharp...can i cut my hair like yours?
por shen : are you sure the right fish came back? (hahaha!)

well, my friends said that my head look bigger. yeah! damn true! i've got to admit that i feel the same thing too, since the day i had my haircut.

nothing can be done now. i'll just wait until my hair gets "bushy" again. then, i'll go experimenting on another style! *evil laugh*

Argh...time to do assignments AGAIN!!!

i am back from my lovely home sweet home...

...and now i am back in my hostel, typing at the keyboard, munching biscuits while surfing for my assignments. serve me right! i've forgotten to bring my assignment papers home. oh~but i doubt if i will ever do my assignments at home even i have the papers with me.

i never have the motivation to start my assignments until the day before the due date. but, i always have EXTRA motivation to sleep, eat, watch anime and play spider solitaire. why am i so lazy ar?

now, in the midst of searching for info, i am crapping here! actually i wanted to post photos taken during steamboat and the sunway pyramid outing. mana tau, fail to upload wor...*sigh*

ok! ok! focus! back to assignments...

I love them!
