Cooking with love



I'm cooking prawn fried rice for dinner tomorrow!  I prepared / chopped / julienned the ingredients so when I finish work, all I have to do is bring out the raw material from the fridge.  ^_____^
  • Prawn
  • Red cabbage
  • French beans
  • Eggs
  • Canned tuna in water
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Brown rice (left overnight in the fridge)
  • Lots of love for myself (cheers for choosing to cook healthy food!!!)
I thought of adding carrot (not my favorite) and/or pineapple but I'm scared if it is going to be like...  too many flavor in a palate?  Maybe pineapple (always goes well with prawn kan?).  Will get a nenas then!

Anyway, the neighbor's daugther is crying again.  Sometimes I like to think that there is a orang kerdil family living in the wall, so that what's I heard is actually the orang kerdil's daugther cries.  Hmm...

If I Die Young by The Band Perry

This is one of my favorite song when I am driving, soothing the tired soul & mind!


If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh, uh oh

Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town who says he'll love me forever,
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well,
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done

A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song

Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when you're really gonna need them, oh

The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time

So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls

Silence

Nothing piques my interest these days except for:
  • Looking for ways to combat these stubborn pimples. I thought I was done with them back then, I mean wayyyyy back when I was younger. Why do they come back now?!
  • Making soy milk from the scratch. Yes, after someone mentioned that she gains weight from drinking a considerable amount of soy milk. I am interested to be  f a t  lean. (You, you and you!!! Stop saying that I am not eating! I eat more or less the same with the normal sized human; or even more than those over-sized who are on the crash diet, BOOOOOO!!!)
  • Blending my own natural shampoo - hibiscus leaves+flowers with kaffir lime juice.  It's been a week without a single drop of synthetic shampoo & conditioner on my scalp but my hair doesn't feel/look greasy at all!  In fact, I don't feel itchy (on the head la, mana lagi!) or heavy (which I always experience when using leave-in conditioner and serum).  You know what is the best thing?  The hair is as soft as after applying conditioner; minus the chemicals of course.

Recap

The Flu Bug @ThinkGeek
Not feeling well since Monday.
Monday I was kind of stressed with the Tuesday thing (P&C - work stuff).

Then came Tuesday.
Fun is out of the equation and it is acknowledged by everyone in the office.
Totally occupied for 7/8 of the day.
I physically feel very 'heavy duty' despite somewhat knowing that a portion of my gray matters has been taken away from my tiny body.

Felt super challenging to get out of the bed on Wednesday morning.  Told Whoelses that I want to go to the book fair which, unluckily, I didn't managed to go because I wasn't feeling well.  I went to Eu Yan Sang to get a tea concoction for flu (lu ken deling until it testless, said the friendly sales person) - all the weird looking; funny looking; familiar looking roots & seeds in the mixture.  And since I specifically over drained this week - which I have yet to look for the root cause! - I bought the Gingko Biloba Chicken Essence too.

Thursday.  Today.
Gosh!
Meeting, meeting, meeting!  To recap the Tuesday thing!!!
Hee...  curi tulang sekejap while waiting for the others.
I have my flu tea.  Doesn't taste bitter & neither too sweet.
Hope my nose behaves well or else I might scare the others with my bugs.

Post-Airy Monday

You know, there is always something up in Mondays. For me, it is time to catch up with friends – after hiding out (or, hibernating) in the weekends.  And because Mondays are psychologically long (for me), I always lighten up my day by reading blogs and some of (my favorite) columnists’ articles.

It was a coincidence that I put “Airy Monday” as my entry title yesterday - because I felt somewhat calm, only to be equally terrified and humored when I read a fiery post by a certain blogger.  It took me by surprise that this blogger can actually produced such a… flaming posting.



On the other hand, if I own an online shop, I would not even thought of posting “kampung-hater…yes, me” just to rub any potential customers in the wrong way, deliberately.  I mean, one cannot be calling people “hi sayang-sayangku” (which might or might not includes the kampung citizen), but then admitting “i hate kampung people because they’re idiots.”  Ouch, ouch, ouch!!!  Now, please tell me that such statement will draw buyers from cities and kampungs alike.  If yes, wow! I want to use that publicity stunt too although I have not think of what I want to sell yet.



To humor myself, I asked the shop owner “(Kampung Lover:) Dear Kampung Hater, are these soaps handmade by the village people or the city dwellers?”



Hello to the city people!

Hello to the kampung people!

Hello to lovers & haters everywhere!

Special hello to another kampung girl.

Airy Monday

Piccsy :: go to bed now
Sigh.  Monday.

I am supposed to be in the bed now to replace my sleep-depriving Sunday night.  Too bad!
  1. I am not the one who can set "come to work whenever you want" rule.
  2. Work is waiting.  Loads of it, as a matter of fact.
Anyway, I found that the punishment for the kitten killer is way too lenient:
If found guilty of abusing the kittens, Chow faces either a fine of RM200, six months in prison or both.  Excerpt from The Star
Depressed or not, I would say NO to animals cruelty!


P.S.  I am sending LouLou theCat for neutering this weekend.  No more headache, no more heartache for dear Okaa-san!

I'm still figuring it out

Still can't figured out which layout I like the most...

Please do not be annoyed if you see Layout A in the morning (and you sort of...  liking it).

Only to be disappointed because I changed it during my lunch break (no guessing here - which you hate so much!).


Sorry!

Wordy Friday

I cannot remember what I was searching at Dictionary.com today but somehow I was distracted with the question just below the search box:
What's the technical term for couples who call each other names like honey bunny?
Tada! It is called...
hypocorism [hahy-pok-uh-riz-uhm, hi-] – noun
  1. a pet name.
  2. the practice of using a pet name.
  3. the use of forms of speech imitative of baby talk, especially by an adult.
Bleghhh!  That is confusing me with hypocrite!

Saturday's therapy


I'm so sinful!

My initial plan was to get Elizabeth Gilbert's Committed but I ended up with extras!
  1. As I mentioned before, it's sinful if I don't get it by now.  RM35.50 @Popular; but I got a 20% member discount so yeay!!!  Happy reading to myself!
  2. L'oreal Total Repair Night Essence - Leave In.  RM36.90 @Guardian.  To fix breakage, dryness, dullness, coarseness & split-ends.  Poor hair, I only get it for you now. 
  3. Neutrogena Deep Clean Blackhead Eliminating Daily Scrub.  RM16.88 @Guardian.  I love scrubbing my face everyday so a daily scrub sounds perfect!
  4. Scholl Foot & Nail Cream.  RM23.90 @Guardian.  I think my normal body lotion is not creamy.  Valid reason, eh?
  5. Nivea Hand Age Defying Q10 Plus.  RM14.09 @Guardian.  I'm afraid that my hand will age faster than my face if I don't pay attention.  I should learn to love my hands just as much as I love my face (and other parts of my anatomy, as the matter of fact!).
  6. Giordano Skinny Fit Jeans.  RM125.10 (after discount, that's it).  Why I need it?  Because the other pair is getting thinner (the fabric, yeah...).  Ooh yeah!  I need to send it to a tailor to make a minor alteration before I could actually wear it.
Sinful, sinful, sinful indulgence!

Grocery shopping


Bacon RM17.80
Chicken RM6.47
Eggs RM 3.80
Sweet corn RM2.69
Cheese in olive oil RM7.50
Carrot RM1.99
Broccoli RM1.42
Purple cabbage RM2.71
Baby butterhead RM2.55
Thai small red onion RM3.99
Total RM51.00

 
By the way, I was slightly mad when I saw Jusco is selling a toothpaste at RM13.49.  I bought the very same toothpaste from Giant at RM14.99!!!  I am not Giant's big fan but was sort of being dragged into the hypermarket.  I rather shops at Jusco at any time (it feels less wholesale-like market than Giant, Tesco & Carrefour) but I wonder why some said Jusco is more expensive than other stores.
 
And I do not cook the chicken and the carrot for myself; it is for Shorty.  I just mix grated carrot and a chunk of chicken into the rice and voila!  Dinner done, my boy.  (Shorty's lunch is always provided by his kai ma, that lucky boy!)

Enough of rant.

P.S.  I really hate carrot as my food, but I can accept carrot juice.

Talking "auntie"

You must be thinking that I am crazy.

I talk to my furkids, sometimes baby-talking to them in fact.

Now I started talking to Emily, the bird's eye chilli girl.

And to the watermelons boys and the other cili padi girls as well.
