What A Year So Far...

I have decided to try and write at least one blog entry a month.. if I am inspired (or pissed enough) I would try to add one entry a week.

Should be do-able, since the wi-fi at home is up and running again.

Last I wrote was in February, so the next few entries will be the recap of the last 8-ish months :-)

Wishing All A Happy & Prosperous New Year!

Let's Talk about.....FOOD!

Burp.. (ehem.. xcuse me)


Just had dinner at home. Decided that I needed to get off my lazy ass and cook something acceptable. So menu for dinner was grilled sirloin steak, mashed potatoes and spinach. What?? Yup, I am going through a spinach phase. Ah yes.. I will have phases with food. Previously it was nasi lemak (bungkus siap dlm daun pisang ones), before was nasi ayam.. then california temaki.. kerang bakar.. errmm well


I looooove to cook :-) hate the cleaning up though.. thats why i enjoy cooking back home. My mom cleans up after (yippie!) But like my mom, we both don't really enjoy our own cooking. She is THE best cook though and my late grandma too...


Am really missing food in Penang right now. Especially my breakfast haunts for nasi kandar, roti bakar, rojak, chinese food and capati too. Nothing beats the nasi kandar back home and I have tried numerous shops around KL. It's not the commercial type of restaurants that you can find practically everywhere but the ones that only the locals know about. Brought a friend there recently when in Penang and he has fallen in love with it!

I promise to try and get some photos of these lovely indulgences when I get the chance. But it's really something if you get the chance to sample it yourself :-)

Gosh.. It's been a year!

It has been a year since I last posted something here.. Nope, not lazy or out of ideas, just that I have been without my notebook for almost the same period. Under repairs la!

Much has happened in the past year which I will unveil as I go along .. Good times and bad. But that is what life is about . Anyways, I have spent a lot time back home which has been the highlight of the past year. With repair works and reorganizing the house, its been a lot of hard work, good food and great company..

I realized that being back home has calmed me down quite a bit and I have learnt to enjoy life better :-) Do I miss KL? Sure I do.. It's where I have learnt independence, made lifelong friends, met my loves and so much more. But being home has made me appreciate what's always been there for me .. my family (which also includes 4 cats, 4 budgies and 4 koi fishes!)

I am proud that I managed to make some contributions back home. Not in monetary terms mind you, more importantly its time and hardwork. Yeah .. am cheap labour.. eh correction free labour. From moving and packing furniture, painting the house, tending the garden, cleaning, cooking, babysitting... hell I was busier there than in KL! But more importantly, I was much happier too.. But hey.. it hasn't been without any drama either okay?

I gotta get back to preparing dinner (yes folks.. I do cook) Will be back with more!

Home!

Been home for the past couple of weeks .. finally have the chance to get online and post some new blogs. It's been really hot here.. so I took my mom out and got heavy curtains to block out the sunlight and place an air cooler in my room. Temporary bliss...

Food as usual is heavenly.. i really don't mind waking up bright and early to have breakfast at all my favorite haunts.. Especially the lovely roti bakar (using charcoal fire mind u).. the all famous nasik kandar for breakfast & dinner ! .. seafood by the beach after sundown..

Lucky thing i still have an old friend here... at least I have someone to hang out with on Saturday nights. Somehow her hubby doesnt quite approve of our girls' nite out hehehehhee... he's just jealous coz he can't join us!

Oh.. and these are the lil ones I've got crawling around to also entertain me (pic below) and my sis is crazy about playing my PS2 with me.. All is not lost after all, just being connected to my friends online AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!

Sheesh.
