Just Blogging Around

Today is my brother, Mengjin’s birthday. I was thinking if being a cheap arse sending him a sms birthday wish, but I did not. I just felt like chatting with him.

I and Mengjin are close, despite we did not spend long time living under the same roof.

We grew up in a baby sitter’s place for few years, and he went Hua Lian High School (Taiping) since he was 12 years old. Back then, I only saw him once a week when I transferred to Taiping (SMJK Hua Lian) after several years he lived there.

We used to fight—fight for no reasons or reasons that I couldn’t even think of. All I knew is being the eldest, I just want to WIN!

The longest hours we spent together back in 1997 was when we were traveling up to KL to visit my grandma who had been diagnosed with kidney cancer.

I was then transferred to Penang for Pre-U while he was still studying in Taiping. We hardly saw each other. We all are so get used of being separated at all time.

For some reasons he quitted senior high; he is helping my dad running the business. Yes, he is my BOSS.

I can remember when we were little; we used to tell mum or dad what naughty things we did behind them. No secrets being kept at time. Thing seem to change when we all grow up, we back each other up.
Nevertheless, he never tell me about his secret admire ‘cause he damn sure my big mouth will tell my mum, then my mum will tell my dad, my dad’s itch mouth will ask my brother, meantime my mum cannot tahan will tell my grandma… =)
Oh too bad.. I just knew it. (kidding)
The memories between us are all over everywhere at this moment.

Constant separation does not keep us apart, yet our bond seem to be closer and growing stronger.

Oh yeah, I asked him what he wants for birthday present, apparently he asked for nothing. (phew~) =P

by the way, Happy birthday, Ko!!

My gold fish died yesterday morning. After 4 months and 18 days…
Ouch… heart aching.
Don’t worry bout me, I’ve been thru this many many times already.
I tried my best to keep him alive, but… haih! What can I say?
I thought some people around me don’t like me, sekali mana tahu (hell know) my gold fish also hated me; he rather died early also don’t want to live with me.
Damn.. how sad is that?

Don’t need to say sorry, I mean it. It is just a death of my sayang (beloved)gold fish.
Life is a bit like that- things come, things go; people come, people go.

人生本来就看不破红尘，只要看”透”，就好了

Oh yeah, did I tell you he has a name as well? I named him “Pui Pui” (fat fat), just like how Kian Seng calls me “Pui Pui” 24/7.

Good Bye Pui Pui Gold Fish~!

I love my food. When I say this, I mean it a lot. I easily get agitated if the food I have does not comply with my taste butt requirement. If happened you saw me just leave my plate after few mouthful of food, it is either I was ill and I did not feel like eating at that time, otherwise, the food musta taste like sh*t. I considered you are lucky enough as you never seen my agitated respond which is worst than PMS. I am a bigtime real bitchy bitch when come to dining table.
Oh yeah, don’t tell me the bad things (karma) of wasting food, this old-grandma rules apply to me NO more. =)

I went to Hawker’s Cuisine in Chinatown, Perth. Kian Seng, Kong Vui, Grace and KC –5 people in a car. Yay! I love “makan”ing with people who love their food just like me.
Apparently this restaurant is managed by Kong Vui’s relative; therefore getting discount by the end of the meal is not a problem. (I am pretty sure they still give 10% off for their customers at this stage)
We ordered salted vege and tofu soup. All ingredients used were “fresh
“—in fact, I was a bit disappointed as I love those near-expired salted vege taste. I like it when they are really salty. This is my very personal complaint. I should have asked the chef to add more salt or assam-like ingredient in there or something. damn. =)

The second course was snow crab with Hawker’s special sauce. *drooOol* The crap meat was absolutely beautiful- soft and fresh. I still can taste the “sweetness” of the meat. The sauce they used “clicked” well with snow crab. My favorite dish was the Hawker’s Tofu. Oh my god! They are so so so soft and so tasty If you think only steak can melt in your mouth, I suggest you to think again. So orgasmic! =P
We ordered “Ikan Bakar” (grilled fish) as well. When we were asked “ what size of the fish you want? You want small, medium…” I replied straight away “Large, please!”
Er, the fish came in A cup, even I clearly remember I asked for C cup. But it is ok, I know we will get discount *wink wink*. So, no big deal.
Finally, it was Sarawak Kolok Mee that I have been dying for ages. Kian Seng who is a Mirian has been telling me about Kolok mee since we met. And I have been dying to eat the authentic style noodle since then. I thought I would probably try it some days in Sarawak, hell know at the end I had it in Perth. How weird is that?
The Perth style kolok me didn’t impress me much. It tasted no difference from West M’sia “Wontan Mee”. Anyway, I tried it..finally.

We ordered Pork Belly and vegetable, I didn’t try much.. I cant remember how does it taste like. =)

We had Iced Kacang and Iced Chendol for dessert. I think we shocked the waitress sh*t out ‘cause we did eat a lot.

This is a simple restaurant with typical menu like other restaurants; despite the food, I do recommend Hawker’s Cuisine as they give very friendly service like you cannot get in most of the “boo-chap-boo-chap” (eng:don’t care) Hongkie restaurant.
Plus, looking at all our smiley faces, you can tell that was a happy ending. =P

One of my Pharmaceutical Chemistry lectures is a part-time lecturing in my school. She was a full-time staff in my school until she has 2 little girls. She often takes her eldest daughter to our lecture. Initially, most of the students were looking at this little blonde angle; however, this girl had to sit at the back row in the lecture hall as she was constantly waving and smiling to us. How funny is that? Oh well, after sometime, none of us really care about her anymore as concentrating in the class is somewhat more important. =)

Today, this intruder is rather shocking! Another lecture introduced a “friend” my class—her DOG! What the …? G! This is cool. I am fine with it. I think our school need a change somehow. If the uni cannot get us young, cute, good-looking lectures for us, introducing a dog isn’t a bad idea after all. I like dog, anyway. =) I just cannot imagine if any lecture in Mxxxxsia takes a dog in the lecture hall, the students will cry out “HARAM!! HARAM!! Anjing ..kinzir! ” (Dog is a prohibited animal in Muslim ) ah , whatever. smile

Look at him, he is just concentrating, just like me.. *cough cough* LOL

N,
别来无恙。
收到你的来函，得知你在电台工作，真为你开心。那种感觉胜比自己再三十分钟内跑一大圈，更雀跃。想想，这不是你一直追求的理想么！

我还在这里，慢慢耕耘，小心翼翼摸索我的未来。生活除却努力，还是努力。对了，我最近竟然学人家当起博客来。说实在，我也有点怀疑自己的勇气。像我这种” 有话大声说，有屁大声放” 的人，还要在这无界限的网路，给自己有一个缪想的自由，说真的，实在有点过隐。常常，我把自己乱七八糟的头脑就在没有细心的经营下就一快儿话说出来，那种感觉实在好棒–得意的时候，就在青青草地四处奔跑；心愉的时候，就在漫长的湖边，随着鸭子的步伐，一步一步走；失意的时候，就在门口兜圈子。

刚刚，我趁太阳未西下时，到屋外捕捉野花的影子。载下来，与你分享。
生活里，祝福你，也祝福我自己。(微笑)
