His cooking Familiar Malaysian things The sunset at my balcony I will miss cooking in my kitchen But most of all, I will surely miss him... I will be away this time for more than a week for a training. But then again, I heard that Tagaytay is a beautiful place... :)

Chinese New Year Dishes

What is CNY without the awesome home-cooked food? Mom's hand made loh bak (Marinated minced pork, rolled in thin soybean sheets and deep fried) Nonya kueh from the famous Air Itam market CNY must- have : Ju Hu Char ( Stir fry hicama, carrots, mushroom and dried cuttlefish) The reunion dinner spread Steamed fish with rice wine Dad preparing his favourite sambal with lime

I'm in love with the song by Chris Cornell (Climbing up the Walls) featured in this video. Been playing on loop since yesterday. Yes, sometimes I can be a maniac like that when I am infatuated with a song. Then it just frizzles off after a week or so. But Megan Fox? I never seen her so perfect as she is in this Esquire video. She's that grade A human that s.d.no.2 and I talked about sometime

I've had enough

2012-01-18T15:24:00.000+08:00

I don't blog about what happens at work (I have reservations as it is unethical) but I guess, this one is worth given a leeway. It is not so much about venting out my frustrations -*okay, partly it is*- than to mark the turning point of my take towards this woman in the office. After a year long of unresolved issue, our team had a meeting a couple of weeks back to confront ad resolve the

Dec : The End Last night, Julia (the bff) and I made a pact with each other - that we will be each

Interesting songs this Friday the 13th

2012-01-13T15:14:00.002+08:00

Just one of my sprightly skips and stumbles around the world of YouTube. Rare occasions have me find some of the most interesting music yet to be heard.. and worth to be shared with you here (with a little snippet of who they are from their websites and various sources, especially good ol' Wiki). Oh. Sorry if I misled you to think that I would write about creepy incidences that occurs on this

one more for the finals

2012-01-10T07:07:00.000+08:00

I'm sitting here all alone at the empty Science Faculty foyer. It is 6:30am and still dark but I am pumped up to do my final revision for the last paper at 9:30am. Once this is over - the huge load of burden will be lifted from my shoulders and I could then concentrate on work and other more interesting things. One of the improvements that I would like to do this year is to write more concretely

Welcome to 2012

2012-01-05T10:32:00.003+08:00

It's never too late to wish all of you a year filled with more smiles and laughter. Because at the end, happiness is all that matters. Cheers!

two days

2011-12-29T10:45:00.001+08:00

Yes, this is the final two days to the dawn of a new year. Never has there been a year so full of uncertainties compared to 2012. Perhaps it is just me but I can't help but to think that the coming year lacks the typical misty-eyed hopes and dreams as we place our bets on a better year, a better us. But 2012... If I would to think deeply into it, I get the creeps. It is that uneasy tingling

Yes, the final exams of my third semester is coming up in early next January - which is just about 2 weeks away. Truth be told, if I do not start revising my semester's notes from today onward, I am gonna be so screwed. But then again, Christmas is coming up! Who in the sane mind can actually be serious and all studious when it is the season for celebration, gathering of love, laughter and

tgif and JohnF*kinMayer!!!

2011-12-09T09:32:00.001+08:00

If you have watched "Friends with Benefits", you would know that I am not cursing Mr Mayer but it is simply a quote of adoration from a die-hard fan played by Emma Stone. By the way, have I mentioned before how much I heart John Mayer? I really like how one of JM's fans summed his most recent album, 'Battle Studies': Battle Studies is his best album to date. I premise that comment on the fact

relocated

2011-12-06T23:56:00.001+08:00

Finally, after a long wait of 6 months - I have moved out from the dainty little room I call home for the past two years... and moved in to an apartment about 6 times the size of that room I used to live in. I am still getting used to all the space around me now. The moving process was tedious and we grew weary. Grace saw us through - sending the help of beloved family members who has greatly

Your's sincerely has recently gotten a 35mm f/1.8G. I think it does a decent job with close-up portraits. I've had it for about two weeks now. And I am itching to do something with it. Like a project. Of which, at the same time - trying to figure around how I can develop my photography 'signature', 'style', 'flavour', 'treatment'.. whatever it is called. I've got various ideas swirling in my

fathers be good to your daughters

Now, it is more than just a sweet song from John Mayer (Daughters) Why, hello there. It has been some time since I last wrote here. I miss this space. Promise I will be back when the carousel of rat race has slowed down :)

i am made complete

2011-10-24T23:38:00.001+08:00

In Him, I am found. The past couple of weeks has been swamped with all sorts of things happening back to back. I don't have much time for myself anymore and I guess that is pretty bad in many ways. I found myself arriving at a place where I am even distant to myself. I don't listen to myself anymore, I don't now what my thoughts are anymore - it's like I am just flowing with the numb routine

3 places in 10 days

2011-10-14T00:27:00.002+08:00

I have been away for some time. Here's a yummy berry meringue to make it up to you. I wish I can give you the real thing but you can get it from Ben's at KLCC :) So..... I'm really glad to finally complete my two weeks of intensive local travelling, hopping from Sabah for a meeting to Pahang for a workshop and then to Terengganu for a symposium. It was about 10 days altogether and as it

tuesday tune, tyranny and cockroaches

2011-09-20T15:21:00.000+08:00

Here is what I am listening to right now. Just to share, hope you like it :) ~***~ I must say, after an era of tyranny at the office, things are starting to look better since the new leadership took over not too long ago. Maybe it is too soon to tell conclusively but we all felt the good vibes lately. The things that used to haunt us in the past are shedding away - thanks to better

Stir fry mixed vegetables with mushroom It has been some time since I last went home to Penang with only one plan: to stay at home and eat mom's home cooked food :) Kapitan curry chicken and potato I usually have tonnes of plans lined up whenever I make my way back to my hometown, mainly to catch up with my friends here over dinner, run some errands and stuffs like that.

Here's a nice tune to wrap up your Sunday evening. I hope you had a good weekend. I would like to acknowledge also that it is the tenth year commemoration of the 9/11 disaster that struck the US. The world was shook by such a horrific ordeal and our hearts went out for those who have lost their loved ones in this tragedy. Indeed it is a day we all will never forget. I pray that we shall

I love the midnight silence. That's when listening to songs like this will tug on the heartstrings of the deepest place in our lives. The heart was made to be broken. - Oscar Wilde Well I am not listening to this song because I am going through a painful phase in my life now. I am just a big fan of Laura Pausini and I found this beautiful acoustic duet she had with Phil Collins. So here,

It is so gonna be a busy final quarter for me before 2011 comes to a close. I'm fairly aware of how often I rant about how busy I am (which can be quite annoying) but this time around, it deserve some mention due to its EPIC-ness! 12 Sept : The start of my third semester, where I'll be signing up for Geographic Information System and Environmental Risk Assessment as my first two electives
