Stuff I Feel Like Eating But Can't At The Moment (Because I Can't Take More Than a Few Spoonfuls Right Now)

1. Steamboat


Tak kirala, Johnny's ke or Ketam Village ke, bring it on.

2. Sup Ekor

I like the soup aje, without the ekor. Ekor tu my hubby usually takes it and I just slurp up the soup. And it can only be from those tomyam stalls tu. Weird, I know but that's the way I like it. heh.

3. Red Velvet Cake


Looks good kan? Never actually tasted it before, but I've heard (and read) people rave about it so I'm really curious. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I'd like to know what this one tastes like.

4. Tom Yam

This one sounds simple but the last time I had really good tomyam was probably 7 to 10 years ago. Nowadays, I dislike every single tomyam I've tasted, so if anyone knows of a really good place to have tomyam, PLEASE let me know.

5. Steamed Fish


I just had some steamed assam fish with hubby and my mom-in-law last week, which was tersangatlah sedap, but you know how it is. Fresh fish at restaurants tend to be pretty pricy. So I'm thinking of making some myself as soon as I get better, which I am hoping will happen by next week.

Tapi of late, since the surgery, I haven't had much of an appetite. Lapar tu lapar. And my tongue siap boleh rasa lagi what's sedap and what's not, but I basically get all muak after a few suaps. Not that it's not good. It's GREAT actually, since I really need to lose those kgs I put on since I got married, tapi tak worth it la to get/cook all those things and not even have the appetite to makan betul2. After all, beside the cake, the rest of the stuff I've listed down are basically healthy food kan? Cuz I'm actually one of the lucky few whose cravings tend to fall under the soupy, healthy category, rarely the fatty stuff. Tapi gemuk jugak, so moot point there. haha.

Oh, and almost lupa.

6. Nasi kukus
Thanks to one of my best friends, I am now seriously curious to know what nasi kukus is like. Macam sedap je. LOL. :p

The End.

Random Things People Don't Seem To Understand.

1. Guys: When a girl smiles at you, she's just trying to be friendly. Nope, she's not interested in you, not trying to flirt OR hit on you. Save all that "nose up in the air" and "SHE DID NOT!" bit and just smile back. Don't be vain, please. This sometimes applies to girls as well.

2. When you come over to talk to someone and that particular person is in conversation with someone else, you don't just cut in and start talking to this said person and ignore the other person there. This is ESPECIALLY true if you intend to talk to your friend in a language that the other person does not understand. It's rude.

3. On the same topic, when you come in and join a group of people who have been there for a while, don't just come, zero in on ONE person, sit down and start chatting to that person without even saying hi to the others first. That's rude too, PARTICULARLY if you actually know all these people. No, it's not okay to, in mid-conversation, realise that the person you're talking to is not the only one at the table and go "oh, hi [insert name], [another one], [yet another name]". It's insulting and very very annoying. Not to mention rude.

4. For service people, smile, for goodness' sake. You are getting paid to do this. You knew what you were getting into when you joined and decided to become a service person. So there is no reason to be surly and emo to the customer standing in front of you who is trying to make your day better by being nice to you. It's stupid because if said customer gets fed up and loses his/her cool, then there's always a good chance that you would get in trouble.

5. The signal lever on cars are there for a reason. You use it when you're supposed to switch lanes or turn into a junction. USE IT. Oh, and by the way, it's not ok to turn on said signal one second before you turn into the said junction/lane, for obvious reasons. Go back to your book of driving rules and reread it, please.

What I learnt this year...

Ilearnt....

1. That it is possible for blatant racism to outweigh years and years of friendship

2. That family loyalty can happen to an extent that people with 'high' credentials become idiots.

3. That selfishness knows no boundaries, and transcends familial bonds

4. That people fear and hate what they don't understand

5. That people only watch and judge from the outside without considering what goes in internally

6. That everybody can be hypocrites.

Including me.

7. That people you barely know and refuse to get to know may turn out to be surprisingly more supportive that people you've known for years

8. That people put greater things at stake just so they don't get embarassed

9. That someone may hate another person, but be exactly like them.

10. That you may wake up one day and realise that the person you've slept next to for decades isn't the person you think he/she is at all.
