Lonely… I’m so lonely…

Had a business trip to KK recently, and discover that I absolutely can’t live alone. ( Have realized this fact long before this, but this trip confirms it all). I know it sounds so sad and pathetic, but I just cant help it. It is just typically me. Ironic eh. Maybe the fact that I grew up as the only child explains a lot? I was always alone when I was young. Once I started dating, I was hooked. Never want to do anything alone anymore. Now, it is so critical that I cant even eat alone. Here’s some proof how critical my situation is.

This is what one would due in absolute boredom! Mind you, I took 30 over pictures! The hotel was facing the sea and had a bitchin view. So what else… cam whore lah! Started in the evening, all the way till late night, and also the next morning before I start work.

Trying to aim for a somewhat artistic shot… but I think I look pretty retarded.

  

Another spastic shot. Doing the mulut pepek (or was it bebek)?

 

Last shot before going to bed.

And since sad & pathetic me just cant seem to eat out alone, I ordered room service and pig out on the bed. My sayang just wont allow me to eat in bed at home. So I was pretty glad to be able to do this here. And no worries about ants and stains… cos I dont fark care!!~~!!

and watch some TV too. (Dont you pity me now? Being in a great holiday place like KK with lotsa interesting food, people and culture, I decided to stayed in the hotel instead) I gotta learn to be more independant! I got to! I got to! <– maybe next life…

This is what I had for dinner…

Nasi Goreng with otak otak & satay. High in presentation, low in taste!!

Let’s pray there are no more outstation trips alone!! But this has made me realized many things. I can be all independant at work stuff and other matters, but not when it comes to my personal well  being. Take my wedding for example… somehow just cant make simple decisions and negotiations. What the F is wrong with me!!!~~!!~~!!

ah… life….

 

Twist & Turn

So twist what?

Turn what?

Hehehe… Here goes!!~~!!~~!!

This is something I made last week. it’s a pretty common dish, but so far, have not made it for Kevin yet.

Drum roll pls……

  

 Before I go into details, would like to share one of the suckiest spaghetti bolognese we have ever tried. Was at this restaurant called Salmon Steak in SS15. It was horrible in taste, and worst in presentation. Have you ever seen a dish that looks like this. Hilliarious how the cheese was just slap on the plate right?

ta… duhhhhhh

 

 So, somehow, I was still craving for this dish, and was thinking, hm… why not try it on my own? My ex, used to make this super delicious spaghetti bolognese, I did learnt a little from him. So here goes!

Firstly, fry up some garlic. And saute the mince meat. (marinate mince meat before hand. I dump in some soya sauce, lea pearins, maggi sos, pepper and salt)

 

Then add in a can of tomato puree, some water, and half a bottle of tomato sauce.

 

And this was the one i almost forgot, tomatoes!

 

Let it simmer a little, then add in mushrooms. (slice the mushroom as thin as possible before hand)

 

And then in goes mixed vege (I know some people find it weird to have mixed vege, but I simply LOVE it!)

 

Simmer it for about half an hour, constantly stiring it (which I find it difficult as I am always caught up watching TV or on MSN). Add in a little salt, sugar and pepper to taste.

 

I let mine boil for about an hour before dishing it out. I know of some people who boiled for about half a day!

End product?

 

YUM-MY!

This is……………….

 

Guilinggao!!!!!! (herbal jelly)

As I was having that evil cough last week, decided to make this herbal jelly, hoping that it will somehow provide some cure. Sadly, didnt really work. But tasted not too bad though, bitter sweet..  Thanks to the batangs for trying out..

So it comes in a package liket his. Really simple to make, just mix it up with some water and boil. Stir till the powder disolves and wah lah…. jelly belly!

Pour it into little cute shaped cuplets, leave it to cool and dump it in the fridge.

 Once cold enough, pop it out and ready to eat!

I took a HUGE bite!

YUM YUM!

Looks disgustingly black right? But its good for health and tasted… ALRIGHT la..

What is this?

Coming soon!

Why stressball is the ultimate companion….

Why stressball is the ultimate companion….

So weekend went well… rather quiet actually, which is GOOD! Friday was just chilled out at home and watch re-runs of old Jackie Chan movies. Damn kao farnie. Felt that his old movies and way better than the hollywoods ones. Stunts are more real and amusing. And on Saturday I woke up early (no thanks to hubby who had to wake up for golf! Being a light sleeper… sigh). So cant go back to sleep, decided to make Spaghetti Bolognese. (Coming up later). Wanted to chill in Velvet that night, but… was terribly sick, coughing, sweating and cursing non stop. Too much of partying & heavy drinking landed me in this situation. Like my facebook tagline said “May is…. “coughing like an apek!”. So yes people! Too much booze & in sufficient beauty sleep do bring more harm than good. However, shamefully, I got to reveal that, its only Tuesday now and I have my party plans made for Friday & Saturday.

WAT A GWAN!!~~!!~~!!~~!!~!!

oh wait! Weekend wasn’t booze free! DAMN. Slipped my mind that I was drinking with the batangs again, but this time at Zen’s place. But I did it for the sake of my health… seriously…

The 1st thing I did when i arrived at his house was to down 3 big gulps of brandy and like magic, that stupid annoying cough is gone!!~~!!~~!! But no thanks to sake & vodca, annoying cough came back just as I was leaving.. argh.. (the sake was delicious btw… thanks to Nick!) So here I am again, way past weekend so called rest time and the brandy remedy, still with a bad cough.

I think I might be dying soon. (touch wood). ((No more wood? DAMN you paper using/eating/wiping bastards!!~!!~~!!)) <– There! I did my part today, World Earth Day!!

OK. Serious matter now. Back to stressball the ultimate companion. Why do I say that?

Before anything, would like to congratulate the inventor of stressball! I think its brilliant!!~~!!~~~!!

Have been toying with stressballs lately due to some reasons, and I am soooooooo hooked! I squeeze squeeze it at my desk, and extra fast & firm when I’m in discussions, or when I’m on the phone, and especially hard abusing the stressball when.. what else.. under stress or aruguing with somemore. But wait a minute, thats pretty normal right? That is precisely what stressballs are for. So whats the big o deal?

Here goes, no laughing and eww-ing me pls..

Just a while ago I brought the stressball to the toilet with me… and believed it or not.. I actually peed faster. Saved me like 3 seconds of my life. Have a theory that i reakon is pretty much logic. The faster and harder I squeeze my stressball, the more relax I feel, hence (cheh, hence) pee flows out easier and… faster. Hmmm…. Kids, DO try this at home!

*sorry to those who played with my stressball and read this….. opsie

See my chubby fingers at work….

So, I’m going to get back to my stressball. Muacks!

 

 

 

In Training

to do what?

Be a good auntie!

I mean a good wife..

And as the saying goes, “The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” (which I don’t think its true anyway, i was clueless in the kitchen when we got married)

But…..

its still something we D*ckless species should try and learn. Either way, its a win-win situation. If we suck at it, Mr Hubby is gonna do the cooking or we will just be those people who eats out all the time. But if we succeed, yippee… we would be those “isteri mithali’ and can dissed it in Mr Hubby’s face! (bluek!)

Here’s some of my attempts, proud to say that, no one has ever LS (lao sai) before, so touch wood, may my dishes improve!

HERE GOES

I know, this picture is so discouraging right? But trust me, its yummy…

They “may-ness” in me is just sooooo strong that what-so-ever motivation i have to blog an hour ago can just wilt. Sigh.

MUST – NOT – BE – LAZY – TO – BLOG

TATA

 

 

 

Life… oh life…. ohhh life!

Life… oh life…. ohhh life!

Starting a new blog ain’t easy! As usual, no idea what to write.

Thought of starting with a super speedy recap of my WHOLE life, and I really have so many things going on at the moment, BUT…. no idea where to start!

Well, pardon me, but here’s a pathetic attempt.

Let’s start with personal life.

Married with ZERO kids!~!~!~! (yeah! jumpes around with JOY!)

 

Do not have to sit around at home, cleaning babies bottom, smelling like baby’s burp and watching the cooking channel (no offence to stay at home moms. MOMS ROX btw)

So yeah, friends have been asking me

“May, hows married life”

and I always say

“Same ol, same ol… no difference”

and they always reply with

“You sure ah… how can it be!”

So, for the LAST TIME people… lifes just as cool & enjoyable as it used to be before married…

PERIOD

 

Next…

Lifestyle..

Been keeping in touch with some friends. Trying to kill some weekend and evenings, and not being sucked into AUNTI-HOOD. (but its really un-avoidable… auntiehood is like this evil and strong black hole that we cant resist)

AUNTIE PIC

But I’m good.. im good ( I GUESS)…. been catching up with some old friends, made some new friends… (lose some frens? nah.. think not) <- HOPE NOT

So anyways, here are the people who lighted up my auntiehood…

My GALS!!

WAY HUAY & LUCIA

Contemplating to brand ourselves the… JENG JENG JENG

BAJA HITAM CHICKS!

What do you think girls!

(KIDDINGGGGGGG)

Whole gang of us chicks do make a point to get together from time to time (opps… Zacky is out of the pic cos shes behind the cam.. but oh well… )

Old friends too are some awesome ppl I treasure deeply   *muaks* *muaks*

 And not forgetting some guy buddies who never fail to brighten my day. But do stop corrupting my hubby pls!

And, some precious new friends, whom I can never thank Lucia enough for introducing us.

 

 And the party/fun goes on and on and on. (those two Hotlink Allicat lookalike is no buddy of mine!)

SO, some of you might have known, my previous blog was more like a picture blog. I suck at writing. (shame of me, as I majored in journalism.. ) .

But i prefer to use picture to convey events, people, emotions and truly feels pictures does the job better than my crappy narration. (oh just admit it!)

Should next few post be just of pictures and 2 words, pardon me. Just make up your own words and enjoy the pics!

It’s FRIDAY, so, plan for a fabulous weekend! TATA!

 

 

All’s Good

Yippeeeeeeeeeeeee

Finally able to bring myself to start a new blog!

MSN SPACES SUCKS!

Gimme some time to fiddle around this new baby, and see what it can do.

Till then..
