Spicy Egg At Nagomi

2009-07-17T00:50:00.007+08:00

Firstly, don't ask me why I put 'spicy egg' in this blog post title. I have no idea as the words just flicked in my mind. It refers me by the way.

These photos have just reminded me on how tasty the food is when the three of us, May, Mrs J and I decided to give Nagomi a try when we were wandering around the mall, few weeks ago.

I shall say, it is a real good choice to have lunch together with 2 students and one teacher in such a quiet yet comfortable environment. I seriously love the setting and the decoration as they match my mood and feeling. Good one!

I'm so liking this picture! =)

I have hardly been to any Japanese restaurant if not Sushi King, Shogun, Saisaki and Jagoya (wait, is Jagoya included too). So, spending time in exploring the menu and experimenting the food has become a fun activity for the three of us.

While waiting for the food, we had a real long conversation and at the same time didn't stop ourselves from cam-whoring. Well, there is no way a blogger, especially me, myself will miss a chance for photo capturing right? Or else, there will be no use, bringing digital camera along.

So, here are our set lunch!

Mrs J's & May's

(Without flash?)

Mine!
(With flash?)

P/s: You know what, I am starving here. I just can't stop my mouth from watering, staring at all these pictures and things wouldn't be this worse if I didn't do that painful surgery on my wisdom tooth few days ago. I am glad I ate something as nice as this before the surgery. Well, no worries, my sunshine will come back again and I will eat whatever I fancy! Muahaha.. XD

Most of my friends are curious to know that why I am so close with my secondary school teacher even until now? Well, I guess she is a sweet, warm, kind and generous teacher who will try her best to get in touch with her students no matter how far the distance is. I am glad to know her and I am serious.

I am waiting for more outing with her in future.
When ya teacher?

*hint hint*

Merry-Go-Round

2009-07-15T20:39:00.004+08:00

I have been trying my best to focus on my cognitive system, trying to put all my feelings and thoughts into words. However, my brain is still blank no matter how hard I try to improve my concentration. Objects around me seemed to be spinning like a Merry-Go-Round:

Round and round and round and round and round.....
Round and round and round and round and round and round..

I guess I am too tired and need more rest. That hideous hole on my gum as a result of the wisdom tooth surgery not long ago has slightly increased my body temperature. Fever? Oh no. Don't. Please.

I should really get some sleep now. Good night Harry Potter.
See you in the cinema, very soon.

My 1 Week Menu

2009-07-13T17:54:00.006+08:00

Just 3 days ago, I had forced myself to visit the dentist again after skipping the appointment for more than a month. This time, it was my wisdom tooth. If you have been following my blog long enough, you will know that I am really afraid of dentist.

Wuuoooooooo...
Now I have goosebumps all over my hands!!

Minor surgery had been carried out last Friday and everything was alright till this morning, when I was miserably facing the terrifying pain on the gum. Gosh! It is so horrible! The Dr has never mentioned about the pain. Well, thanks to the pain killer for postponing my pain till today. Hmpm!

So, just an hour ago, I met my dentist again and we had discovered that my gum is being affected by bacteria. Some pieces of food had entered the hole and was clinging around the stitches which in the end encouraging the growth of bacteria.

Thanks God!
Everything is ok now as the doctor has removed the food and put some anti-bacteria medicine on the infectious area. I am feeling much, much, much better.

Look like there is no way I can skip this menu for another 1 week:

The 'Someone-Who-Lost-Her-Wisdom-Tooth' Menu

Friday - White porridge
Saturday - Fish porridge (shouldn't take)
Sunday - Sup Noodles, breads (shouldn't take)
Monday - ~~Chicken Chop, Smash potato~~ porridge!
Tuesday - ~~Chicken Rice~~ porridge!
Wednesday - ~~Fried Sotong Noodle~~ porridge!
Thursday - ~~Pizza~~ porridge!
Friday - ~~Sushi!~~ porridge!
The Following days - Mystery

My friends complained that I am looking pale.
Well... hope not.

Now, I know why people always say that having a set of healthy teeth is crucial.
Sigh.. I am hungry.

My LURVE Affair with my Readers

2009-07-11T21:12:00.010+08:00

People always says, blog whatever you want and share whatever you like in your blog. One of the main reason is because you own it and you are the blogger. So, there is nothing you can't write in your own special space other than yourself (of course, as long as it has nothing to do with ISA, abusive content or you named them).

Well, I do agree with them as I love my personal site and admire how my brains work every time I blog something new. We all know that writing, photography and photo editing use both of the right and left brains, yes? Other than keeping my brains working, it is also because of my loyal readers who have never stopped supporting and encouraging me ever since my first attempt in writing a post.

I remember Dalicia happen to be my first reader as well as my first commenter. There is no way I would forget about this sweet lady. Of course, I will not forget my other readers who are also bloggers and my friends keep coming back, checking how I am from time to time.

Some even motivate and encourage me during my down moments. I remember when I received bad critiques from 'some people' who think I am not perfect enough. They critique on my writings and worse on my appearance (something I can't and will not change). Frankly, such ignorance comments did bother me. I even thought of shutting down my blog. Well, I obviously not doing so because I realize that I love myself. I love being who I am and this belief grows stronger each time I read your supportive comments:

The time when others demotivating me:

The time when I have reached my 21st Birthday and blogged a post about it:

The time when my grandma, my loved one left me, forever.

No matter you are committed into my commenting system or not, I can still sense your footprints. Well, are you asking how do I know you are here? Em... there is always Sitemeter which does all the exploring and examining work. It counts the number of visitors and lists down all the links which come to my blog every single day.

I know, my number of readers isn't high and it is inconsistent each month. You know what, I don't mind if my readership is low. What I care the most is the sincere comments which I received from my readers. Those who treat me as a friend and respect whoever I am is something I treasure the most.

This is me.

I shall thanks to all my RSS readers too who have been subscribing to my blog feeds. It is such a pleasure to see the number grows each time I glance at the meter. How sweet.. :)

Thus, why can't I love my readers more?

And why can't I say they mean so much to me as they are one of the reasons I am still keeping this blog for more than 2 years. If it is not because of the unconditional love I received everyday from you, this blog might not survive for the first 6 months. Call me stupid or unprofessional. Well, I don't mind what others might say because this is honestly what I feel so far.

Can you spot 1/2 picture of a baby?

Knowing that Lurve, the new flavored mutigrain chips product from Kraf is organizing a blog competition, I decided to participate and write a love post for all my readers who have never failed to curve a smile on my face. I want you to know that you guys mean a lot to me and thanks for creating such a memorable memory in my life. All your supporting and humorous comments will never been forgotten and I will treasure them as long as my comment systems allow me to do so.

I strongly believe that Lurve can show my sincerity and love to all my readers (you of course) as there are nothing as original as this. Why? Because there is no artificial colouring and no added preservatives which will allow anyone to chew the original taste of wheat, oats, rice, corn and sunflower seeds in each 'crispy bite'.

So my dear Curryegg's readers, this genuine post is for you.
Lurve you!
<3

The Best Breakfast Ever

2009-07-10T01:27:00.005+08:00

Do you know what is the most unforgettable breakfast you can get in any part of the Hainan Islands? Something which is simple, cheap and tastes good.

Kopi O+ yau char kway+ white porridge

Trust me, you will never forget the aroma and taste of the local black coffee with 'yau char kway' (you tiao) once it teases your nostril and running around your taste buds. You will in the end wanting for more till you have forgotten your lunch, or maybe dinner.

Now, I hope Oldtown or any other Hainan Kopitiam in Malaysia will consider serving this for breakfast. Or else, I will have to wait till I go back to Hainan again.

You Touched My Heart, MJ

2009-07-08T10:29:00.005+08:00

I woke up feeling grief and empty. My eyes are still red and puffy. I thought it was a nightmare where everything will back to normal once the dream ends. But I was wrong. It wasn't a dream, it is a reality. Micheal Jackson has really left us for now and forever. I was forced to accept the truth when the King of Pop's casket appeared on the television screen for the very first time (Los Angeles, California- CNN).

My family and I had stayed till 4am just to watch the whole MJ Memorial via CNN live. Words, songs and dances from Micheal Jackson's family and close friends have really teared my heart apart. What makes my heart sank is that no one ever remember his good deed, his contribution to the world until he is dead. Before this, accusation, rumours and gossips were what we always heard from the media. That's really upsetting.

I must say, I am lucky enough to be able to listen to his friend and family tribute during in the memorial about Micheal Jackson. It makes me understand MJ more and I will take him as my role model for having a sincere and kind heart in helping the poor and the unfortunate one. You will never be forgotten - never ever in my life. That's for sure.

I love you, MJ.
Thanks God for giving me a chance to have him before.

P/s: I know I have blogged about him before and the media just can't stop reporting about him. Well, I don't care because I can't stop myself not thinking about him after looking at the memorial. His songs, his achievement, his family and friends have touched my heart, and always will.

www.cnn.com

Watch CNN for Micheal Jackson's Memorial if you haven't. It will bring you into emotional ride, just like what I am feeling now.

Back To My Roots - Qiong Hai (琼海)

2009-07-06T10:47:00.011+08:00

"Girl, we have finally reached your grandfather's hometown", said dad proudly once the bus reached Qiong Hai (琼海). I could sense the excitement in myself while gazing at the paddy field through the window.

"It isn't that bad. This place looks pretty good", I whispered to my mum who was sitting behind me.

It took about 10 minutes to travel from the town to the village. I remembered my grandma (who has passed away just one year ago) ever told me that it wasn't convenience at all to go back to my grandfather's hometown during 90's. Transportation and roads were the main problems before Sanya being recognized as one of the tourist sport in Hainan Province.

I believe I am lucky enough to be able to enter the village with no hassle because the tourist bus could stop us just in front of my ancestors' house. Thanks God! I can't imagine myself, walking 15km++ from the town to 'my roots'.

Well, yes. This is my roots, meaning that this is where my Tan family supposed to come from. If grandpa didn't take the daring move, walking weeks over weeks from the village to the town and swimming months over months to Malaysia, he would not have met my gorgeous grandma. Ok. I am just joking. He didn't swim across the South China Sea. He took the ship.. :)

Mum and I will never able to picture my late grandpa's life if we didn't step into this old house. We will never be able to understand the adjectives used by my grandmother without witnessing the objects and people around us although dad did snap some pictures few years back.

Frankly, I am glad he took the move to find a better fortune in Malaysia because I could not imagine my life staying here with no electricity, toilet attach, gas and water supply and proper bed. Let alone car, computer, mobile phone and television.

There is no refrigerator to store those foods. Those dry woods are used for cooking.

We called this as 'Satay house' because every house sticks so close together with front door and back door connecting each other.

Can you see the doors?

I smelled pigs.

Anyway, life in this village is far better than before. There are more facilities in this area including electricity and water supply. Besides, there are even education for children too. However, they fail to support the new generation in facing the fast changing world. Thus, most of the youngsters are moving out, trying to create a better life out there - and I agree.

I am surprise to know that she is my cousin.

This is her friend with their dinner on hands.

The blue rabbit soft toy which I gave it to her during our first meeting ended up on the roof. I guess she doesn't know how to play with it.. :(

My other Tan family members as well as the villagers here are still depending on the river to survive. They drink, cook, wash and bath using this river water which used to be so clean but not anymore. I was there, capturing every evident I could get on their daily activities.

She only used dust (if I am not mistaken) and water from the river. Oh my God. Isn't clean? I believe their immune system must be really strong.. >.<

Spending one whole day here wasn't easy at all. Why?

Firstly, I couldn't speak nor understand Hainanese (the main dialect) which supposed to be my mother tongue. Thus, I was having difficulty in communicating with my other relatives especially the elderly. They spoke like a bullet train!
The weather was too hot and I kept on sweating. Thanks God, my aunt's new house has 2 fans.
I kept on being attacked by mosquitoes. Hate them!
There wasn't anything I can do other than snapping pictures. I believe my cousin, Kiiro felt the same too.

I shall say, life in this area isn't easy. However, I realized that they are happy and enjoy living with whatever they have without much complaining. Maybe you may conclude that they have used to this kind of living and thus, not needing any changes. Well, maybe you are right but then, when I think twice, sometimes life doesn't have to be perfect to gain happiness.

One can be genuinely happy even though the old house is half broken, living only with candle light at night, sleeping without mattress, cooking with charcoal, not owning any single penny and being isolated from the so-called advance world, he or she is still eligible to find happiness. As long as they know how to be thankful and give their best in their lives, happiness can still be achieved, right? Like I always says, "Complainer with no action is a loser".

My uncle looks so much like my grandfather. Surprise!

I have found my roots, how about you?
:)

Old Days Gone, New Days Coming

2009-07-05T10:56:00.004+08:00

In another 24 hours, I know my life is going to change - again. I will no longer able to online till late at night (or till dawn time), no more sleeping till the sun ray burn my back, lesser outdoor activity including travel and no more... emm... no more.... Whatelse?

Anyway, there is one thing I am sure it will happen again is my student life story will be up in this blog again because my new semester will begin starting by next Monday (Tomorrow). Honestly, I can't wait to go back to my campus. I miss my coursemates, lecturers and assignments. Wait! Assignments? No no. Just, my lifestyle will have to change again and I will have to give serious attention into it.

I want to be a counselor, remember?

Thus, you will have to expect more Psychology and Counseling related posts though some of you might find it boring. Some of you might find it boring while some of you might be eagerly waiting for it. No matter what, I know I will enjoy blogging about them - if I want to.

So, before those boring or exciting posts ruling my blog again, I will finish up my Hainan trip posts just before the busy days start. I have been procrastinating a lot due to my busy schedule in this whole week. You know how it feels when assignments, projects and classes filling all your time. That's why, I am spending quality time every single day in this whole week with shopping, screening, playing games, eating, sport and chit chatting...

Post from my grandpa's hometown in Hainan will be up.
Believe me, it will be a fun reading post!

HaPpy SUndaY!!

The Climb

2009-07-03T10:36:00.009+08:00

Miley Cyrus -The Climb lyrics
Songwriters: Alexander, J; Mabe, J;

I can almost see it
That dream I am dreaming
But there's a voice inside my head saying
"You'll never reach it"

Every step I'm taking
Every move I make feels
Lost with no direction
My faith is shaking

But I gotta keep trying
Gotta keep my head held high

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb

The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

There's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be an uphill battle
Somebody's gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!

Keep on moving, keep climbing
Keep the faith, baby
It's all about, it's all about the climb
Keep the faith, keep your faith, whoa

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I feel so much connected with this song right now. It is just like describing how I feel at this moment. Yes, the climb. I shall really sit down and figure out the missing puzzle. And guess what? I am not going to give up my dream. Not till I reach the peak.

#Comment off.

Cosmetic Can Drag Down Self-Confidence

2009-07-02T01:34:00.001+08:00

Remember my previous post on Make-up Or Naked?
Well, I have something to say.

Previous Facebook Status:
An aunt said, "Woman without make up is like not wearing clothes. Gosh! I just realized I am naked all the time.

I do agree with her because women who are too used to make-up will look 'terribly naked' on the face if they don't apply the basic: Foundation cream, face powder, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara, eye shadow and eyeliner. Another word for naked will be: Pale.

Very often, I realize females who are too depending on make-up products will have less confidence on themselves if they go out without applying any. That's why most of the celebrities dare not step out from the house without make-up even within their own house compound.

I wonder why it becomes such a big deal?

Let just take myself as an example. 2 years ago, when I was working for Khoon Hooi as a part time sale assistant, I had to put on make-up everyday. The thicker, the better. I mean as long as it is presentable of course!

And.. errr.... I don't mean like a Chinese Opera performer.
Something as normal as this:

Before I worked for Khoon Hooi, I had never put on make-up on my face if not for school performances. That's explain why I had never heard of foundation cream, let it alone from RedEarth when a girl from Sasa introduced it to me one afternoon when I was haunting for make-up stuff a day before work! At the same day, I have learned that make-up products are not cheap!

Well, straight to my point. I applied those chemical products from day to night, 6 days a week for almost 2 months. Let's guess what I gained? I gained sharper eyes, sparkling lips and smoother skin whenever I put on those make-up. Thanks to the sale girl from Sasa for giving some tips.

It doesn't take me long to come up with this theory :
With make-up is beautiful. Without make-up is ugly.

The theory was proven when I was back to my campus again for my first class during that semester (to my ordinary days). I felt uneasy staring at my pale face in the mirror as in the reflection was showing a strange girl. I didn't have the courage to face my course mates for too long because I felt something was missing on my face. Mr Confidence had slowly walked away from me.

It didn't take me long to realize what was actually happened on myself. It was so-called an addiction over make-up products. I was too depending on them and stupidly wanting them to be applied on my face 24/7. Self-esteem was shaken and I know I got to do something in order to gain them back.

I keep posting mental notes to my brain, persuading that I do not have to depend on those products to make me beautiful. Of course, I am back to normal again - not having the urge to use make-up products during classes! Classes also refer to ordinary day, non-occasional day.

Cosmetic products can turn any ordinary girl into a Cinderella (who is meeting her prince in the castle). There is no lie. It can even improve one's confidence by being a stand out in the crowds. That's why company selling make-up product always make good fortune in the market. They work like magic and I am glad they help me when I need them.

However, we have to be sure of one thing: Never let cosmetic products eaten up our confidence over our own beauty. We are unique and born with own natural beauty. No matter how, we are still who we are with or without these make-up products. Just, I personally fell that it will be better to take good care of our health rather than just beauty.

In conclusion, being naked most of the time isn't a bad thing.
Right?

Again, I mean the face.

'Make-up' or 'Naked'?

2009-06-30T22:42:00.008+08:00

My last Facebook status was one of my favorite collection so far. I received good amount of responses from my Facebook friends and mostly, guy replied in a very creative way. Don't believe me? Click on the picture below to enlarge it.

Status:
An aunt said, "Woman without make up is like not wearing clothes. Gosh! I just realized I am naked all the time.

P/s: What an unorganized size of pictures. Should really learn my edit photos properly.. sigh..

Now I am wondering, are they attracted with the word 'make-up' or 'naked'?

Sea Shell Museum And The Beach At Sanya

2009-06-29T09:24:00.005+08:00

Yes. The Sea Shell Museum which is one of the must visit area if you are in Sanya, China. I can't remember how much is the entrance fees. Anyway, what you can find in Sea Shell Museum is of course: Sea Shells.

What do you expect?
Lol..

This is where you can find your pearls..

The thorny shell.

Star fish! I feel like wearing them like the mermaid.
I mean on the head!

The Angel Wings, one of the famous seashells in Sanya. Do they really look like a pair of angel wings?

Cyrtopleura costata linnaeus

Well partly, I am just joking. I don't mean you can only get seashells in this area. Besides the sea creatures, you can get your feet walking on their famous beach too. Frankly, the museum doesn't attract me much, except the gift shop in which I can get lot of beautiful handwork there.

The walls in the exhibition hall. Creative isn't it? :)

I just had a very quick snapped on those selected shells which I think are unique before heading to the beach which is located not far away from the exhibition hall. The tourist guide, Ah Li was pretty sure that we will like their Sanya beach (Hainan Province, China).

True enough that the beach did attract us. I mean, a lot.

The soft sands, the clean sea water, the friendly surrounding and various of water activities have really stolen my heart.

*gasp*

You see. I hardly write anything on the sand. It is too soft to hold my alphabets. I wonder, is Pulau Redang (Malaysia) sands as soft as this? Anyone be there before?

The massage corner.

I want to ride on the speed boat, the banana boat, sail on the mini ship, diving, snorkeling and whatever I can do on the beach! But sigh..... Ah Li never told us we'll visit the beach. I felt like a stupid girl, wearing sport shoes, long jeans and a vest to the beach. Well, it is not just me, but my entire family wore something similar as mine.

What can I do other than taking self portrait pictures?
Not going to waste the chance.

Bad tourist guide.
:(

There is a small garden just above the Seashells Museum. Nothing else special other than the unique statue.

Again, thanks to my cousin Kiiro for taking good pictures of mine - undeniable. He should get a DSLR.

Dilemma

2009-06-29T00:29:00.005+08:00

My head is cracking. I still can't make up my mind.
Uurrgggghhh....

What should I choose??!!
To take photography class or art class?

I like both and I can't take both. How pathetic. Choosing is always hard, especially when you have only two options and both are what you want so much in life. Why do I have to deal with this at this moment?

Gosh! No third option?
=(

I Actually Like Him, But Too Late

2009-06-26T20:49:00.008+08:00

Just a day, the news of our Legendary Pop star death spread like wildfire via the media. Of course, the Internet plays an important role in this case and right now, nearly the whole globe know about it.

Who don't?
Our King of Pop has left us forever.

I thought I wouldn't feel much upon his death since I am not a huge fans of Michael Jackson, not as much as my mum. However, the mainstream has unconsciously penetrated my heart, causing it to ache in pain. Those repeated news from the media upon his death have forced me to receive the truth, that Michael Jackson do mean a lot to me.

I want to hear his voice.
I want to watch his sexy dance.
I want to see him, moon-walking.
I want to imitate his white socks, black shoes.
I want to watch his performance in the world tour concert.

You see. I was born with his voice and dance. I watched him with my parents when I was still an infant. I see people trying to imitate him from time to time, be it his style in dressing, hairstyle, voice, dance or attitude. Well, even till now. Just look at Britain Got Talent. How many contestants sing or dance his song? I mean each year?

True enough, there is no chance I can do anything about it, not even able to hear anymore news on his plastic surgery nor child molester accusation. This charismatic, legendary entertainer has left us with his contribution to the world - his voice, his dance and his story. I believe his name will be remembered for another century or more even in the coming generations.

MJ, you will always be in my mind and I appreciate whatever you have contributed to the world. May you rest in peace.

108m Nanshan Kwan Yin Statue

2009-06-24T15:49:00.013+08:00

The enormous 108m tall Nanshan Kwan Yin statue with 3 sides, standing harmoniously on the South China Sea when Curryegg and her family continued their walks at Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone under the fierce sun.

Anyone in Hainan Province knows NanShan Kwan Yin very well. Just simply ask an old Hainan uncle in the toilet, I am sure he can answer it.

Em... I don't mean my dad.

Ever since the Grand Light Opening Consecration Ceremony on 24th April 2005, this whole Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone received a massive number of visitors each year. Not to mention the business in producing and selling joss-stick are expending, too.

Picture from HweiMing.

Along the way, there are a number of small and medium size temples before reaching Nanshan Kwan Ying. I did visit some of them.

Nanshan Kwan Yin is undeniably becomes one of the main attraction not just to the Buddhist visitors, but to non-Buddhist too. Almost everyone who steps on Sanya ground will not want to miss the opportunity in visiting thus grand holly place, despite the expensive entrance fees (RMB150).

Well, it is still worth it because you can walk till your legs break off. Trust me.

Anyone who is close to the South China Sea can easily spot the statue. It is amazingly higher than The Statue of Liberty. 108 meter!

Can you spot my umbrella?
It showed how badly I needed an umbrella to snap good picture.

And, I personally impressed with Nanshan Kwan Yin Statue besides the holiness reason. There are three sides of Nanshan Kwan Yin with different designs and you will have to circulate the statue to have full view.

Well, I could just manage to see two sides of Kwan Yin statue. To see the third one, I will have to travel the sea. Whoa!

The sky was clear with clouds floating around Mr. Sun. It will be a wonderful experience if the temperature in this area wasn't that high. Again, Sanya is the hottest area in Hainan Province. I wonder how those Beauty Pageant contestants could bear the heat.

Photo: Link

Here are some photos which I managed to capture during my journey in Nanshan. They aren't that good if compare to my previous post because I hardly take pictures when I have to worry my umbrella being blown away by strong wind.

My shirt including my pants were all wet by my sweats while taking all these pictures. I wonder how could I manage to smile in every picture.

One word: I am professional!

*Muahaha*

We spent almost half a day here. We couldn't spend any longer as grandma couldn't bear to walk anymore. So, after praying and humming my wishes to Nanshan Kwan Yin, we headed back to the RMB20 tour bus which then, took us back to the exist gate.

Before we leave, each one of us had a good rest with fresh cold coconut on our hands. Nothing taste better than coconut water. It wasn't cheap though, RMB6 each without coconut fresh - because they are old, aging coconut. Anyhow, I am glad Hainan Island has it. Well, it is the only place in China which has Coconut tree. How pathetic.. :(

Before that....

A: I took.

B: He took.

Question:
I seriously wish to know which picture look better between mine and my cousin's skill? A or B? It has been an unsolved debate ever since these two pictures were taken.

Next post, Sea Shell Museum with Sanya famous beach.

National Treasure Gold and Jade Kwan-Yin

2009-06-24T11:55:00.020+08:00

Although I have lost half of my photo collection, I spent nearly 2 days to edit my 4th day of travel in Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. Oh my! Isn't that scary? You should start expecting the need to scroll down the page till your fingers drop off.

o_O

Well, I am serious. Anyway, I am trying to reduce the number of photos in each post starting by this one in order to avoid loading page problem (which I always get complain from some of my readers. Puff..)

During my 4th day in Hainan Province, my family, aunties and I visited Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone. We rent a regular size bus with a local tourist guide for 4 days to take us around the island.

Renting a bus with a minimum of 10 passengers is a good idea as it is cheaper and more convenient compare to renting a taxi. Besides, it is more comfortable as you have more spaces for yourself and your luggagessss. Believe me, the 'ssss' for luggage doubled if you're a shopaholic.

Map from: Nanshan.com

The Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone I heard is the most expensive tourist spot in Hainan Province. Each entrance cost RMB150 including one vegetarian lunch. We were suggested to spend one whole day in this area to learn more about the beauty of Nanshan Moutain (South Mountain), the statue of the South China Sea Kwan-yin Bodhisattva, the China Buddhism Culture Institute and the Kwan-yin Park.

Believe me, once you are there, you will no longer care where you are anymore because the place is so huge with spectacular scenery and buildings. Besides, the weather was extremely hot and none of us could bear the sorching sun. Umbrellas, caps and jackets were our best friends all along the journey.

Notes: According to the local residents, Sanya is the hottest and driest place in Hainan Island. It rarely rain especially during summer. So, don't go especially during JUNE!

And...
If you have planned to go here in future, remember to buy a RMB20 ticket for a tour-bus ride. You will regret if you ignore my advice.

Buy your tour-bus ticket here!

As I have mentioned earlier, Sanya Nanshan Cultural Zone is a vast area and people like me will end up camping for 2 days in order to finish the walks. To safe time and consistent torture from the sun.....

GO WITH THE TOUR-BUS!!!

The cute, young tour guide - Ah Li

The ticket.

The very first stop (if you go with tour bus of course) will be the National Treasure Gold and Jade Kwan-Yin. It is a temple and you will notice crowds everywhere. Some were busy with photography, some were busy burning the huge joss stick and another some? Busy paying RMB20 to enter the temple.

What the egg..
=_=

I thought temple shouldn't frequently charging money as it is a holly place and this is the first temple which require to. Well, I don't blame it yet because as soon as my mum paid RMB20 for the entrance only I know it is a luxurious temple.

The 3.8 meter-high Golden Jade Guanyin Statue which is divided into 4 main parts, the golden body, the bright leaf, the Qianye lotus and the base made of red sandal wood are covered with 100 kg (221 pounds) of gold and silver. Besides, they are decorated with 120 carats of South African diamonds plus countless jewels, and containing two sacred Buddhist relics.

100kg of GOLD & SILVER?
120 carats of DIAMOND?

From: Nanshan.com

Of course, there are reasons behind this creation if you read this article.

There is a large glass located before the Guan Yin statue with a glass door. No one is allow to enter except for special purposes. I didn't ask to enter neither as I am happy enough to be around the temple.

Besides the statue, I had come across with this crystal pagoda.

It is all about the Consecration of Buddha Relics. As far as I understand, it is about a monk who witnessed the relics - how Buddha spread his teaching to the people. His name is Duo Luo.

His handwriting.

Dad told me that the crystal pagoda keeps Duo Luo's body ashes which is in pearl or ball form at the lowest level. There is a story that a good deed monk will leave 'pearls' on the ashes when his/hers body is being burnt. Well, I am not sure is that what my dad mean.

After that 20 minutes of Buddha study, we were heading to next destination. Tour bus services were effective as we didn't have to wait too long at the station. Before that, I managed to captured some pictures.

So, what next?
The giant sea-side statue of Kwan Yin which stands 108 meters high.

Journey To Sanya -Teaser

2009-06-23T01:38:00.011+08:00

First of all, I would like to announce the lost of half of my photo collection in my memory stick - as in forever.

There is no way I can restore them back no matter how hard I had tried because most of them have been over-written. God knows how upset I was. However, this feeling didn't last long because I know I will be back to Hainan, China again. I am sure I will.

That will be the time I go with a at-least-4GB memory stick and a mini laptop to keep and backup all my pictures. Besides, I will be triple alert when pressing each button on my Pink-eggie (my red digital camera) starting by today as I am not going to loss any valuable photos or video clips ever again!

Never ever!!!

Since there is no use crying over spilt milk, it is better to focus and appreciate whatever I have now. There are still plenty of fabulous photos and story I want to share with you and I believe, this teaser will attract your attention to come back for more.. right?

I am dark!

Because of too much cam-whoring in the bus, I lost half of my photo collection. The carelessness of me for not double confirming the warning notice. That are the cons, remember~

T_T

Anyway, I would like to thanks everyone who is so kind and generous enough in teaching me the way in restoring lost data by providing useful information and even free tutorial. This special thanks should be given to Garfield. Thanks for your time and effort although my photos can't be saved. Most importantly, I have learned how to restore lost data in future, right Garfield?
:)

While I am still picking and editing those hundreds of photos in my hard disk, here are some photos from Sanya Nanshan Cultural Tourism Zone I would like to show you first.

What next?
Of course. It will be my journey to Sanya. So, stay tune!

:)

Good In Outside, Bad In Inside

2009-06-22T01:29:00.007+08:00

When you can see this post on your computer screen right now, it means that I am safe back home. It is always great to be home again after all those long hours of torching moment. Hot weather and long walks had spoiled my mood in enjoying my Hainan Island journey. Not to mention my carelessness of accidentally deleting half of my photo collection in my memory stick.

What a disaster!

Sigh....
I shall blamed no one as it was all my mistake for pressing the wrong button when I was browsing my photos in the bus. Right now, I am still trying to get a good software (suggested by my FB friends. Thanks!) in the hope of recovering some of those deleted photos. No one knows how bad I feel for losing half of the photos. No one, except me.

While I am trying to search for new data recovery software, here are some photos which were taken this morning while I was in a budget flight (AirAisa of course) from Haikou, China back to Malaysia. Fortunately, the day was clear with white cotton candies floating everywhere and I managed to capture a few fantastic photos above them.

Can you spot the river?

No matter how beautiful it was out there, no one knows what happen inside the plane. No one, but the flight passengers and ME.

P/s: I just heard that Swine flu is monopolizing Malaysia especially Kuala Lumpur. About 42 cases if I am not wrong? Gee... That's really scary.

P/s/s: I should really quarantine myself for about a week in this case. Not going anyway but rest at home. Good idea?

I AM BACK!

2009-06-21T15:50:00.002+08:00

After spending a full good week in Haikou, China, I'm back to Malaysia again. Weeeee! I know you guys have been waiting for my update.

Well, let me buy something in our LCCT duty free shop first before heading back to my house. I know my computer is missing me, so am I. By the way, you guys didn't know how tan I am right now.

The weather in Haikou is freakily hot. Thus, i'm officially a century egg right now. Gosh! More photos in next following posts. See ya! :)

Why I Pick Existential Theory For My Counseling Session?

2009-06-18T09:00:00.001+08:00

As I was cleaning my files in my laptop this morning, I have discovered a few interesting works of mine. They are my assignments. Well, a real sincere works of mine I should say. I thought of sharing one of my work here, a work from a future counselor? Haha.. Who knows?

Maybe this is a great idea for you to understand a little bit more about me. Enjoy reading this long long work of mine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Which theory will you pick for your future counseling session?
Existential Theory

I have been thinking really hard lately in deciding which type of theory might suit me best. It took me about months. I have read all over the book (Theory and Practice of Counseling and Psychotherapy), made some researches on the internet and even discussed my dilemma with my friends and finally, I have come into conclusion that I am picking Existential Therapy.

For sure, there are good reasons behind this pick. One of the main reasons is that, I have realized the key concepts of this therapy are very much like a spiritual approach in which the existentialisms are trying to understand the meaning of being a human and how human find their goals in life. These philosophical ideas gained no place in me until I have learnt them from my granny’s death, yoga class (The Art Of Leaving) and some insightful stories from others.

I have realized that, lately, as I am growing wiser (not older), I become more aware of death. Maybe it is due to my grandma’s death which was a year ago. I witnessed her last exhalation in the oxygen together with my mother, aunt and my cousin in a public hospital. It was an unexpected death for all of us as she showed no obvious symptoms and the doctor didn’t even expect her to leave so fast.

Frankly, I wasn’t prepared at all. The feeling of shock, disappointment, fear and emptiness haunted me for months. Having to accept the death of a loved one who I have strong emotional connection with is really hard. Really, really hard. Even now, I am still missing her smile, her voice, her joke and her warm, caring hand.

From my granny’s death, I have learnt something valuable about life. I start to wonder why human are born into this world and die in the end. If we know that we can’t stay eternally in this world, why do God creates us and brings us into this planet at the very first place? What is the meaning of being born into this world? Why do I have to study and contribute to the society if I know I will die in any minute? Why do I even bother to earn money as I can’t bring any item with me when I am no longer here?

As I explored more and more questions, I started to shiver. I felt powerless and lost all at the same time because I know, once I am dead, I will have no contact with anyone who is important in my life. Not even able to bring anything (including money, house or car) to the unknown world.

Having this awareness about death is frightening at first. However, it turns out to be something positive at the end and help me to understand life better. I start to be able to see why I am here and how I can live a better life. I believe that God wants us to be in this world to experience love, hardship, happiness, sadness, disappointment and you named them. He wants us to share those experiences with other significant people in our life. These experiences are something valuable and they can turn into energy and motivation if we manage to see things in different perspectives.

Besides grandma’s death, the knowledge which I have gained from Buddha teaching as well as from The Art of Living have allowed me to view birth and death in a more motivating way, and leading a more purposeful life. I start to value life and appreciate people around me (before it is too late). In case you might ask, The Art of Living is a non-profit organization which teaches yoga, meditation and spiritual knowledge (including Christianity and Buddhism). It really contributes a lot to my adulthood development. I start to read and learn more about spiritual learning in order to live a meaningful, happy and wonderful life and give contribution to the society – by touching others life. That’s my main goal lately.

I know I will die in any minute or even millisecond while typing this assignment. No one can stop themselves from dying no matter how hard you try as this is what we call, the fact of life. I may die because of certain disastrous phenomenal like Tsunami, Earthquake or accident or I may die because of epidemic biology infection like Swine Flu (H1N1), Bird flu or SARS. Isn’t that scary?

Knowing that human’s life is so fragile, it has made me wanting to work hard in achieving my self-actualizing goal by going as far as I can. I don’t need to earn big money, gain big name or married a handsome husband to reach my long-term goal. No. But I want to give my best contribution to the people using whatever I have – knowledge, love, humor, skills and support. Emm… Maybe being a counselor in future? An expressive art therapist? Or a journalist? Well, I don’t know yet and I am still searching.

Besides the incident of my grandma’s death and the belief which I am holding on, I have discovered that I am a type of person who like seeing the big picture and then, work on the small part in order to achieve the big goal. Besides, I am also a person who prefer perceiving thing using feeling instead of cognitive thinking. Thus, I prefer humanistic approach rather than other approaches such as REBT and behavior.

My self-discovery is proven when I found out that I am an ENFP person according to Myer Briggs or Carl Jung Typology. Thus, this is also one of the reasons why I choose Existential theory.

As far as I understand about Existential Therapy, it focuses on the meaning of being a human. Thus, the Existential therapist focuses on helping people in discovering the meaning of their lives when they are facing dilemmas such as isolation, meaninglessness and alienation in their lives. Having this root idea in mind, that is how the basic dimensions of the human condition evolve: 1) The capacity for self-awareness; 2) freedom and responsibility; 3) creating one’s identity and establishing meaningful relationships with others; 4) the search for meaning, purpose, values and goals, anxiety as a condition of living ; 6) and awareness of death and non-being. These basic dimensions of the human condition explained by the existential philosophers and psychotherapists are really true and I do agree with them.

I find it really important to help clients by first increasing their awareness on that certain area by exploring the factors influencing the person, alternatives, motivation and personal goals. This is helpful to allow the client to scan the problem at conscious level.

Next, I do find that letting the client know we are free and responsible to our own lives without being judged by others are important as it will give confident to the client to control his life. Besides, client will realize that he is the only controller over his own life. Thus, he has to the path that he desires and responsible with his own choice and action.

Emphasizing on the relationship with others are as equality as important with other basic dimensions. Every one of us has to be aware that we can’t live without the presence of others. Just close your eyes and imagine that there is a mother who is giving birth to her new born baby. Do you think it is possible for the baby to be delivered alone without the help from others?

Maybe it is possible but difficult I suppose. I do agree with this phrase, “No man is an island”. No matter how important someone might be for us, we should not forget our own values, belief and true-self by succumb to others needs. It is important to know our limits when we are with others. Next, the idea of searching for meaning is what I like the most in this theory. This idea is one of the most important elements in life because, without meaning there is no life.

Awareness of death and non-being is another important element which I believe each of us should be aware of. It is a fact that we can never run away. By keeping the idea that every human will die in the end, it will allow us to live life as meaningful as possible. Besides, we will not waste any valuable time by doing nothing. Last but not least, treating anxiety as a condition of living is important in order to let client being in touch with reality.

Most of us dislike facing with death, challenges, difficulty, conflict and stress situations and we tend to be running away from them. However, not many of us are aware that these situations are unavoidable as long as we are living in this world. To face these situations, we can only face them with good preparation and courageous. We have to be prepared in facing with anxiety ( existential anxiety, normal anxiety and neurotic anxiety) as it will happen no matter how we try to escape. Anyway, we can try to minimize the effect on us. Besides, this effort of facing anxiety also shows that we are ready for personal change.

This theory might sound simple, just like Person-Centered Therapy by having no specific techniques, unlike Gestalt Therapy with its empty chair or Psychoanalysis with is interpretation of dream. Thus, one has to have strong understanding about human and life in order to apply this theory. Well, this is my challenges as I am still learning and exploring the real meaning of life. I realize that spiritual belief can’t be developed just a day. It requires long-life learning and exploration. So, I am still here, looking and exploring by first understand about my true-self.

Besides, I do realize that it is not easy to make others to understand and find their own life goal especially children, teenager and adolescence. I guess, the cognitive and spiritual development isn’t complete yet during at that age. I am saying this because I remember how I am so innocent and blurred whenever some adults (like my parents, aunts and uncles) who asked about my life direction and what do I want in life when I was a teenager. Anyway, I know it is not possible to apply this theory in my future counseling session with children or teenager if only if I have mastered the skills, right? I know there are ways and I just have to include those existential awareness in the sessions.

Being able to find a theory which suits me, as a future counselor is really a good news. Starting by today, I should explore myself more into this Existential theory as well as other spiritual teaching. I believe they are good for my own development as well as for helping others. Let’s start the exploration, again!

P/s: It seriously took me a real long day to finish this assignment.. Pheww...

Double Surprises

2009-06-14T12:35:00.011+08:00

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for leaving me such a wonderful and motivating comments in my previous post, "Do I Really Need To Be Popular". You guys have encouraged me to keep this humble blog running without any worries. Thanks.

Edmund Loh

So, back to my 'Double Surprises' post. You have no idea how excited I was to meet Mr Edmund Loh finally (Opss.. this sound a bit old. haha..). We had planned to meet up for a drink several times, yet nothing succeeded till last Tuesday when he had confirmed his time with me. Well, no one will ever imagine how busy he is with meeting, conference and business.

Why? Because he is Edmund Loh.

I actually knew him from a book namely Secrets of Millionaire Students, written by 3 authors, Stuart Tan, Dylan Loh and Edmund Loh. This book has attracted me simply by its title when I was in a bookstore, looking for nice juicy book. It teaches how to build own empire in earning some fortune from the internet business. So, it is obvious that, these three writers have hit the jackpot and wanting to share their experiences as well as online strategies with the society.

I did buy this book and thought of earning myself some pocket money. However, nothing was done by me and I have no idea which business I should start up with. I am seriously pathless. How pathetic. Sigh..

Anyway, this meet up with Edmund wasn't related to any business matter. It was just a meet up with a friendly guy who has good attitude and personality. Besides, I had been keeping myself too long at home and it made me wanting to go out, grasping for shopping air. Wandering around the mall is good and I believe you remember my previous post on "Why Women Spend Longer Time In Shopping Mall". Read it if you haven't.

We met for just about 3 hours before he asked for a leave. Before that, we managed to drop by a bowling center at the last hour. Well, it had been a long time I didn't play bowling. How embarrassing as I scored so poorly for the whole games. Maybe next time I should go with Eric or May and practice my bowling skills ~~so that I will not loose so badly~~.. T.T

May Sze.

As soon as Edmund left the mall, I decided to go back as well in order to skip the traffic. Just as I was about to step onto the escalator, I spotted a familiar face passing by in front of me.

"Is that.. May Sze?"

In order to find out the truth, I followed the couple as fast as my heels could carry me before they stopped in an electronic shop. I dared not scream for her name yet before my mobile phone reaching her line. Too bad, I failed to connect to her handphone at that moment.

So, I had no choice but to walk into the shop, trying to approach her like a sale girl. If it is not her, then I will just ask, "Do you want any CurryEgg?". I was about 1 metre from her when she realized a stranger walking towards her.

Before I could say anything, she screamed, "KELLY?!! Is that you?"

And a long conversation was being carried out before we dismissed. You might be curious who May Sze is? Well, she is one of the nicest girl I ever know in Bukit Besar, Kulim during in National Service program. She was my dorm leader and we were very closed to each other in that 3 months.

We ate, we sang, we danced, we bathed, we joked and we cried together. Aaahhww.. what a sweet memory.

My National Service experience. Click here for more story.

We managed to snap a few pictures before we left. Thanks to my part-time job as a blogger. Why? Because we bring camera most of the time. Lol..

I shall wait for a few more surprises before my new semester begins. So, who next?
:)

Do I Really Need To Be Popular?

2009-06-12T00:22:00.011+08:00

Not too long ago, a caring blogger friend of mine, Suresh (or my brother since he called me jie), started complaining on how inactive I am with blogger events which were held through out this entire year.

"Jie, join Nuffnang events la. Be active and meet other bloggers"

Clearly that, he noticed I wasn't that interested with blogger activities any more. In fact, it is not just him alone but a few more blogger friends who I know for years. Thanks for your concern and I know you care about me. Thanks.. :)

Well, they are right. I notice the changes in me too. I wasn't that active with blogger events lately comparing to last year, where you will notice the presence of Curryegg in almost every event especially those which were organized by Nuffnang.

Photo from Nuffnang's blog

Frankly, I love and enjoy every event which was organized by Nuffnang. No doubt. Who will ever want to miss the opportunity of grabbing free stuff, prizes, cool programmes, nice food and meeting new, friendly people?

The Pajamas Party

Besides, I always feel myself walking on the red carpet whenever I attend those exciting events. Thousands of camera flashes and warm greeting from every bloggers whom I managed to come across with always makes me feel like an VVIP. Each conversation will have a very similar opening:

"Hello Curryegg, is that you?"
"Hello Curryegg, remember me?"
"Hello Curryegg, cam-whore together!"

I must say, each time whenever someone called me as Curryegg, a broad smile will automatically appeared on my face. I seriously have no idea about this. I guess, it is most probably because of the sound - too cute? Or they at least know my existence.

The freakiest antenna I have ever had in my life.

A year of experiencing the blogging events have created sweet memories in one of my life chapter. The joy of cam-whoring with hundreds of bloggers and being appreciated as a blogger is so over-whelming. Not just that, we started adding each other in Facebook and keep in touch with each other news. That's the most wonderful part which I treasure the most.

Halloween Party

However, it seemed like unfortunate for me for not being able to attend any events this year. Most of the time, the timing wasn't right. Sometimes, it crashed with my exam dates or else, with other activities. Anyway, I feel that it is time to let others to experience what I had enjoyed before. That's also one of the reason why I don't fight with my own schedule if I really can't make it.

A small sharing moment which I love the most in Italiannies.

Nokia N96 Race - The freakiest, craziest.

Looking at how inactive I am this year, Suresh did remind me that I will soon loss my fame of being a Curryegg. People will no longer remember me nor know my existence as time goes by (if I remain quiet for long term). This is what Suresh told me in our earlier chat and he got his point. Well, I don't know should I need popularity to keep my own personal blog.

Do I have to?

Law Conference which was held this year.

The below questions have been spinning around my head ever since I had that chat.

"Do I really need to be popular? For how long?"
"Can't I just treat everyone as friends rather than fans?"
"Can I be whoever I want to be?"

My answer?

I will just be me - Kelly Tan and I don't need fame or popularity to keep me blogging. You will see me around in any event whenever there is a chance. However, I strongly believe that if my readers like what I blog, they will be here. If they love me as a person, they will be in my Facebook.

Right?
:)

Dad. Uncle Google Knows Everything.

2009-06-10T12:01:00.009+08:00

My dad is watching NBA final, live right now on ESPN channel. I thought of joining in to spend my quality time with him. At the same time, I wish to be a part of his world - the daddy world.

So I asked, "Dad. What are the teams competing now?"

He replied, "Please. Don't disturb me. You know nothing about NBA. So, no point telling you what LAKERS is".

Feeling challenged by his words, I typed the exact letters "L-A-K-E-R-S" and hit on the Google search button. It took 0.08 seconds and the whole list coming out.

"Now dad. What do you want to know about LAKERS?"

KFC Flava Roast Real Yummy. No Lie!

2009-06-08T18:04:00.016+08:00

Seriously, I have never thought of falling so-so-so-so-so-so deeply in love with KFC new secret recipe, the Flava Roast. I mean, ya. I AM SERIOUS! I have never thought of my new addiction will be the Flava Roast meal.

It had been years I wasn't a fast food eater ever since I learned to watch my diet by reducing the intake of fats and carbohydrates. I become a more health conscious girl once I stepped into my 20's. Well, thanks to my mum and my Science teachers who have never failed to scare me from all those monstrous facts and information about oily and high carbohydrate food. The main reason behind this healthy diet isn't merely because of the weight. In fact, I am worried about my possibility in gaining diabetes as it is in my family history. So, in order to reduce the percentage, I choose to prevent rather than cure.

Well, let's go back to our KFC Flava Roast story. Frankly, I really love this whole new menu a lot. The unforgettable taste in every bite of the soft, juicy yet a little spicy chicken - eeemmmmm.... mamamiah!

Each bite had turned me into heaven and I felt like dancing on the spot. I had never tasted anything like heaven in any Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet. Not even the previous Mushroom Chicken Chop can compete with this. It was a real surprise for me. The aroma, the taste and the presentation of the Flava Roast Chicken Steak....

I know I am a messy girl. I failed to wait for futher 'self-photography' moment when the food was served. That's why you get to see my messy plate. Trust me, you can't wait neither.

Eeemmmmmmmmm....
I feel like having it now. Hungry~

Other than the chicken, I love the cheezy baked potato so-so-so much (like Wendy's). I feel like dying, licking the creamy jalapeno sauce with mayonnaise, peppers and chopped spring onions.

I love it!

This is my another thumbs up. You might be asking about my diet. Well, I couldn't care more. They just taste too good. Who will let them go when the aroma is killing any one who dared to sniff them. Not even the eyes will reject the sight, yes?

By the way, I seriously feel that eating this is healthy as I can't eat anything oily in this plate - unlike the fried chicken. Sorry for saying this, but they are too oily...

Besides the Flava Roast Chicken steak, I tried the Flava Roast Burger too. I tell you, it is marvelous! The fresh sesame bun and tender Flava Roast Chicken Fillet topped with pepper mayonnaise mixed so well till they bite my tongue.

Ouch! It is irresistible!

I guess I was too crazy over the burger till I came up with something freaky. Something real out-of-the ordinary...

The vege! I love!

I had been there like.. twice in a week? Lol.. I guess this is my new addiction and I believe it will last for at least few months. I hope this menu will remain and please.. don't stop it! Eggs will run away from curry bowl if they do. Ok. What to do with the eggs? >.<

Even I had to buy take away last Sunday.

The only meal I have not tried yet is the Flava' Roast Wings. I believe the KFC staff will get to see me again by this weekend.

Regarding to all those freaky poses of mine, they are eventually for the KFC Flava Roast contest organized by Nuffnang. Anyway, I had failed to submit it on time because.. emm... I have forgotten the deadline. I took me a day to realize the date: 6 June 2009. Oh dear. My chances in winning the RM1,500 has vanished.

Sob.. No more Nike shoes.. :(

In order not to waste my hard work, I decided to continue my writing on this new recipe based on my real experiences on my taste buds. Thus, what I have written here are genuine. Now what? Go and pamper yourself with these real yummy meals. Starring at my photos will only make yourself suffer.

So, STOP MOUTH-WATERING and hunt for Flava Roast.

Attention: Only certain outlets have this brand new menu. Check here.

Freaky Expression

2009-06-08T00:42:00.004+08:00

Seriously, I have no idea on how I did this. No idea at all.
It just came out unexpectedly. Spontaneously.

While I was editing my pictures for my next following post, I just couldn't stop myself from admiring my craziness ~~because I rarely did that~~. The stupidity of the Curryegg but full of sincerity - because behind this expression, there are real reasons behind this scene.

I will make sure my words speak louder than the picture in my next following post.

Curry in the house!
