Pinky

Approximately 3 weeks after my lower braces been installed, I visited my dentist again last Thursday. To check if the upper is ready for braces.

Apparently, the upper is not that ready, because my "tigress teeth" at left side had not moved a lot as what the dentist expected. But the right side did a better job. So, my dentist installed braces for two teeth at my upper left, behind my "tigress teeth", so that they move inwards, that allows my tigress teeth to come down.

As usual, the dentist will tighten the braces, and asked if what colour I want. Since, it's going to be a festive season this month, I chose pink, just to be brighter~

>.<

Curly in Nature

Everybody knows I have my very curly hair, by nature. Got it from my father, but obviously 青出于蓝.

On my 4th day after rebonding, the waviness is back, that gave my hair a little more volume. It is currently staying at where the 4th day was. I hope it just stay there for a longer time.

Bacon Mushroom Creamy Pasta

The pasta in the picture is no other than the Penis Pasta that Hui Nee bought for me when I went to San Francisco :P

Ingredients:

Pasta of your choice

Butter

Cream

White wine

Mushrooms (Button mushroom or portobello)

Bacon

Blue Cheese

Salt

Pepper

Parsley

Method:

1. Cook pasta to al Dante
2. While waiting pasta to cook, sliced mushrooms and bacon into small pieces
3. Set the cooked pasta aside
4. Melt butter in a pan
5. When heated, pour in the sliced mushrooms and bacon to cook
6. When the mushrooms and bacon are cooked, pour in cream (I use 1.5 tablespoon for single person serving), blue cheese & white wine and stir to mix well
7. Turn to small heat and season with salt and pepper
8. Mix in pasta and stir well and turn off the heat
9. Set the pasta in your plate and dress with shredded blue cheese and parsley
10. Serve :)

Side note:

You can always replace blue cheese with other types of cheese. But I find blue cheese didn't taste as bad when it's mixed into pasta :)

I love Pasta but...

Yee Hau couldn't stomach my habit of eating like an Italian, Pasta for 5 days a week. Therefore, I normally cook pasta for myself, when he's not around after work. In my opinion, pasta is the easiest thing to cook, especially when you're hungry after work :)

I haven't bought any pasta sauce from supermarket for such a long time, since I've started to invent my own pasta or reference to some recipes.

Just to Update

圣诞树=女人？

今天同事看着我从桌子底下搬出来的圣诞树，很感慨地和我说：“和女人一样，不打扮不能见人！”

$^$%^*%^&*$#@%$%&*(&()

岂有此理！

后果，还用说，当然是挨打啦！而且是用圣诞树打哦！

（圣诞树终于上场了，可是灯饰坏了，请教同事修理中~）

^_^

耐心等待……

不久之前，我心想，可以买一架便宜的polaroid camera来玩玩，送自己一份生日礼物（借口！）。可上网看看找找，觉得网友们说的也有道理。虽然polaroid camera不贵，但是市场已经非常小，玩一下可能就再也找不到菲林了，到时候，有相机也没有用。

那，就找找有什么别的玩吧！就让我发现原来，fujifilm有这样的一种相机，叫instax系列，走的是取代polaroid的路线。同样的，相机并不太贵，菲林就可贵了~

机身虽然是大了点（是很大好不好！），要挤进我的包包都有点困难。我在想，我该怎么样带着我的宝贝olympus还有这架instax到台湾去旅行呢？好像有点mission impossible哩……

我思前想后，想了良久。要不要买呢？

那就问问慧妮吧，她说过美国那里的相机比较便宜。一问之下，真的哦！便宜将近一倍！况且她12月会回家出席好朋友的婚礼，我能够等的话，那就等唄！所以……就决定买了。

我托慧妮帮我订了一架instax 210。原本说好周一（美国时间）会抵达慧妮的家，我一直忍着不想问，结果还是忍不住，问了。到是到了，可是错了！真是@#$%#$&$%*&^&*

订的明明是210（上图），结果到的是200（下图）。慧妮惟有明天再打电话去骂人，希望再一次到货就不会再错。而且，还要再慧妮回家之前哦！

现在，只有祈祷啦~

又病了……

今年我好像一直病，病假都请得七七八八了，很“显”。

以前上课都不怎么生病，最多也是伤风（鼻子很敏感）。现在，大病小病一起来。有时候是泻肚子，有时候发烧，有时候感冒，有时候肚痛……很多事就是了。

那天无聊，看看朋友转发的电邮，原来猪仔今年犯太岁，我惟有安慰自己，一定是犯了太岁咯！可是，我不是在三月的时候，在桂林拜过太岁了吗？怎么还是这样？

问题就在这里。我不相信。因为不够虔诚，所以太岁不高兴了。

希望开年有好的一年，不要再常常生病了！

Orchard & Fondue

After the meal at Itacho, we took a stroll along Orchard Road with Christmas mood.

A picture taken at the huge Christmas tree outside Ion Orchard.

And that's the interior of the walk-in Christmas tree. It was so bright I thought I need a pair of sunglasses.

My weaknesses when I go shopping, jackets, hats, sunglasses. I like this hat, it feels like MJ :P

I saw the fondue set on offer, so I bought one and immediately shopped for the necessary ingredients. I can't even wait any longer, I started to make one immediately after I got home. And it was a success >.<

Chocolate does make one happy, doesn't it?

(PS. I tried to make one for my friends last night and it failed, I was so sad and so Paise...)

Itacho Sushi

To cheer the naggy-moody-braces-patient like me, Yee Hau said we should go out to walk walk after work on Friday. So we went to Orchard, to walk around with all the X'mas lights and have some soft food that I can dine in with.

Walking around ION Orchard, we realized there wasn't much choices, and Japanese food appeared to be the most suitable choice. Yee Hau had heard about Itacho from his friends and so we decided to give it a try.

The queue was very long but since I wasn't too hungry yet (ever since the tooth extraction, my tummy was very well trained to be not hungry), we followed the crowd. There are some crazy promotion going on like: Toro sushi $8 per piece (I had once in Miraku in Penang that cost Jie Jie's bill RM30 per piece), and some salmon sushi $0.40 per piece! Yum, I'm hungry now!

We had mostly very soft food:

1. Crab meat chawanmushi

2. Crab meat salad

3. Salmon sushi

4. Salmon fried with soy sauce sushi

5. Japanese egg roll

Yum, I was satisfied. The sushi cut wasn't too thick, which is just nice for th salmon texture. And the Salmon was actually bigger than the rice roll, just like the size of sushi I had in Narita Airport. Man, how I missed that >.<

And the happiest thing of eating at Itacho, is the bill. Having around 14 pieces of sushi in total, and so many other side dishes, the bill was only $28. Of course, we ordered a lot from the promotion items, because we're very clever consumers :P

For the price and its quality, Itacho deserves to be in our star list. Lets hope it will continue running business with the same quality in the long run.

When the torture begins...

不好意思，并不想吓死你，让你晚上发恶梦。可是不这样拍照，你是看不到我的改变的。

我，绑牙了！

我生命中有两个男人，是我不痛苦他们不快乐。第一就是我爸爸，从我很小开始，爸爸就老是唠唠叨叨说我和姐姐不肯绑牙（还好弟弟听话，不用怎么说服就绑牙了）。第二就是我的牙医男友……

我在十一月五日下班后，拔去我右边的上下两颗牙。一周后，我拔了左边上下两颗牙（左边的很痛，我哭哩！）在一周后，既是11月19日，我便了铁齿姑娘。

原以为可以回来写写部落公告天下，哪知道实在是非常极度不舒服，周四晚上，我发了整晚脾气，生了毓豪一整晚的闷气。虽然不是他绑的牙……

结果拖着拖着，今天才“公布”咯！

感觉怎么样？

说话还是不习惯。（慢慢适应）因为上排牙的左右边的大齿，此刻是靠着一根东西联系着。就是说呢，我的口腔那里有一支东西长期档着我的舌头。（发脾气最大的原因就是这个！）下排牙不怎么样，一切正常。

吃东西呢，太硬的还是不能吃。面条也不敢吃。话说有天，我一心想吃面条没关系，软软的不会影响。可我咀嚼方面还是不太习惯，结果面条没咀嚼好就往下吞……那面条悬挂在喉咙，还有一半挂在我的牙套……差点横死食堂~所以现在，我都不吃面。煮Pasta也只煮Penne或Spiralli，短型的。

12 月10日，还要再去看牙医。这一次，可能上排牙就会变铁齿了。

Black/Grey Listed #1

Yee Hau and I have been talking about creating a list of black listed eat outs in Singapore. Ever since we started to cook, we find that a lot of food outlets in Singapore are just unacceptably pricey and not serving the good food.

We have a few in mind like:

• Pastamania (seriously, I'm cooking better pasta that this franchise do)
• Secret Recipe in IMM (we saw cockroach there and we also find that the cheesecakes are no longer smooth and soft as long ago)
• Ikea fried chicken wings (We used to order this every time we visit Ikea but no more. It's no longer as delicious as it used to be)
• Barcelos (Not really a black listed item, but it's pricey and not as good as Nando's Chicken)
• Shokudo (A japanese restaurant that is not serving japanese food, pricey and not delicious)
• Sakae Sushi (the grilled items in the menu are not really grilled, they simply put into the oven)
• Nasi Lemak at Food Republic Vivo City (super pricey, simply a 3 dishes nasi lemak can cost you up to $6-8)
• Red Lacquer Penang Peranakan (Char Kuay Teow that doesn't taste like one)

The latest outlet that came into the list is Wong Kok Cha Can Ting. Yes, they have celebrity that advertised for them, they have interesting menu like Ku Tin Lok. Seriously, they have Ku Tin Lok!

But the food are extremely pricey, a toast bread that cost me $5.40! That's outrageous. And the toast bread wasn't toast enough. A simple lunch that both of us wasn't too full, cost us more than $24! So, it's a No No!

Of course, we'll have a Star List too. So stay tuned~

(Disclaminer: This is not an advertisement. The comments are made based on personal experience.)

Shall we rely so much on networking website?

Have you ever started a conversation like this?

"Hey, do you know A & B are getting married? I just saw that on Facebook today!"

or

"Hey, do you know C had already gave birth to her first child? I saw her photos on Facebook"

or

"D & E just broke up recently... I saw their relationship status"

or.... The list just goes on and on. I bet anyone of you must have some conversation that is somewhat similar to one of these mentioned.

A few of my friends were talking the other day, feeling the same thing about how bad it feels when your good friend, though not the closest and not the bestest friend, decided to announce their "ROM" or "wedding banquet" or "engaged status" through networking websites. We would like to be informed with the good news, even with an email or just a simple sms would do, it just feels more personal. We don't really bother if we're not invited, as a lot of time we're so far away from home, it could be inconvenient. But we really want to share the good news.

Lately, Chun Sin had just asked us out to have a lunch gathering, to announce to us her wedding on March next year. We're so excited for her, we started "wedding planning" on the spot like nobody business. I really appreciate that she announced to us, personally.

All of us, felt the simple joy for her.

Maybe all the networking website had taught us how to forget a bit of personal touch. So friends out there, please, if you are getting married, at least send me a text, I'll be jumping with joy for you!

Sexiest Man Alive

Johnny Depp has claimed his sexiest title again!

There was a few years, they gave the title to Matt Damon, I was like "what?!", how can Matt Damon beat Johnny. I mean, seriously!

We know that impossible, right?

BUT

We know the judge must have missed this photo :P

(Yea, he's kinda weirdo, but I like it :P)

是生是死？

大概是上周吧，我回家的时候发现门外不远处有只鸽子“死”在那里，旁边还有一堵屎。它“死”在那里，一动都不动，我走到很靠近了，它还是死死的样子。我没有法医的训练，就这样宣布它死亡。

我走入屋内，毓豪当时还没回家，只好吩咐钦祥把它处理掉。他如往常一样敷衍我，以为我一会儿就会忘记。我待他把碗饭吃完，又再一次提醒。他被我这个唠唠叨叨的屋友烦到不行，只好硬着头皮准备去拾尸。

做好所有实施的准备，垃圾袋报纸一大堆，走出屋外，鸽子竟然飞起来。我还以为它起死回生，吓到魂飞魄散，喊到要命，还搞到邻居阿伯出来鸡婆。

原来还没有死哦……而且还跛脚，怎么办？

我和钦祥回到屋子里，又再讨论一番。该让它吃什么？盛在哪里？等等。结果因为不能决定鸽子吃什么，我们把一堆食物洒在报纸上。有面包碎、米、饼干碎，还有一杯水。

“死的我搞，活的你搞”，钦祥这样吩咐，可我当然拒绝，担心什么事情我又再大喊大叫。所以里，不管死活还是钦祥的事。

钦祥一面走去救鸽子，一面想吃烧乳鸽。还大声说出来，结果这只会听福建话的鸽子吓青了脸，竟然跛着脚逃走了。

我们很无奈，想救它却救不到，还害它跑到酱远，真可怜。唯有在不会惊吓到它的距离把食物摆下就匆匆溜走。

毓豪回来的时候，我又带他去看鸽子，那时鸽子已经躲在更远的梯级。隔天早上，鸽子不见了。

究竟是变了烧乳鸽，还会被人救了我也不知道。好可怜的它。

This Is It

或许在电影院里看演唱会后台花絮，是件很奇怪的事。或许以前我会说，傻的，在家看不能吗？可如果，那歌手逝世了，留在世上的，只有演唱会彩排的花絮，而他是MJ，我也就“傻傻”到电影院去了。

是为了“骗钱”也好，我情愿被骗。

这场演唱会未能实现，实在是非常可惜的事。很佩服MJ和所有演唱会团员，把每首百听不厌的歌曲，演出过无数次的舞蹈，创新再创新。其实即便他重演一切，我还是觉得一样好看。可是，MJ是完美主义者，怎么可能让自己如此谢幕。很多歌曲，The way you make me feel, Black or White, They don't really care about us, Thriller 都玩了好多效果。Choreograph好得不得了。Jackson 5的旋律响起的时候我不能置信，不是吧，很老了唱了会不会奇怪？答案是不会。

我想，如果演唱会真的实现，那真是一场不得了的表演。

可惜……可惜……

舞蹈员是从世界各地飞奔到英国audition的。当他们知道自己赢得舞蹈员一席之后，都哭成泪人。仿佛苦练一辈子，就是为了和MJ同台演出。真不能想象他们该如何接受歌神离世的消息，怎么接受明明健在台上一同练习的，教导他们的MJ，就这样走了。所有努力，烟消云散。

我看着看着也很想哭。就像当初一个人傻傻在Boise的酒店房里，呆呆的看着CNN流泪。

怎么能忘了表哥录下MJ的MTV和我们一起在客厅观赏？怎么能忘了表哥画一幅MJ的画像给我？怎么能忘了表哥疯得连MJ的采访也录下？我也一直傻傻得跟着表哥看，跟着表哥追。哪个男孩不想象MJ那样跳舞？MJ的歌曲是这样陪我们长大。

MJ的离去，是一个时代的结束。

下一个传奇，是几时？

(后记：今天弟弟也带着爸爸妈妈到电影院看MJ。MJ在我家可是跨时代的偶像。爷爷也很喜欢MJ，或许他会在天堂看到MJ跳舞)

Excitement vs Routine

A good friend of mine had told me she needs excitement.

Yes, life is indeed a process.

Born, Grow Up, Play, Schooling, Graduate, Work, Get married, Buy a house, Have Children, Aging, Say goodbye

Indeed, it sounds very boring.

But, life is like cooking. If I were to cook you your favorite food, say mushrooms, with just mushrooms, I bet you'll hate the dish. But, if I were to cook you mushrooms, with salt, butter, garlic, onions, pepper, and maybe even garnish with some parsley, the dish could be quite savoring.

You can only serve a delicious dish if you love cooking.

Same for life.

My first two years in Singapore, I've got to tell you, I hated it. No life, I kept telling friends and family. I learned how to appreciate what I have, how to tune to different types of lifestyles, how to accustom to different type of people when I spent my one semester in Beijing.

Then, my life in Singapore is no longer the same.

I learn how to enjoy, I learn how to find excitement of my own, even they're sometimes a bit different from excitements from others' perspective.

A nice photo makes my day

A new dish I cooked makes me happy

A trip to picnic by the beach

A short trip back home

A day with my cousins

etc. and the list goes on

How would I describe my life now? Pretty exciting sometimes, packed with my own activities, be it with friends or family or on my own, be it very different or very general. But like anybody else, there aren't excitements everyday.

Because when excitement becomes a routine, there will be no excitement anymore.

Every little small things can change our life, excitements don't drop from the sky, get one yourself!

Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs

Watching cartoon is one of the funnest things to do with my siblings. And with my Deepavali home trip, we watched the currently showing, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, in 3D.

The story was not something to shout about, a kid who dream to be a great scientist and how he failed repeatedly to finally become successful. The 3D effect wasn't as great as Up, still my favourite animation of 2009 by far.

However, for a great laugh, those meatballs have really made the cinema blasted with laughters, almost non-stop.

I would still give 3/5 for this show.

:D

Disastrous Star Wars Toys

I saw this in one of the shops in Plaza Singapura last weekend. Donald Duck as Han Solo, I almost bought this for Ying Ying. Since both DD and Han Solo are her favourite characters. But come to think of it, this is just... so...

Even worse, Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia which was just beside DD. I almost fainted...

But, the worst has yet to come...

~The Most Sissy Darth Vader EVER~

The Aviator

It's a really old movie, back dated to year 2004. I do not remember why on earth I'd miss this movie in cinema. I remember I wanted to watch this, I blamed that on Yee Hau whom didn't chose this movie at the cinema, for what other movie, I didn't remember actually.

Well, at least he made up with a DVD on weekends.

Fortunately.

The Aviator is not a movie you'd liked to miss. Great acting from Leonardo DiCaprio had really made Howard Hughes a very attractive character, though, at the end of the show, he had turned crazy.

There's no need in story elaboration, since it was actually made from true story. Leonardo is really such a charismatic actor! But I guess actresses would hate him, because he made every other women looked so old.

Surrogates

Bruce Willis 是放弃看Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 而选择Surrogates的唯一理由。

昨天，我拎着生日优惠，在GV和毓豪徘徊决定于这两部电影之间，而他坚持“不是吧，又看卡通”，而我也觉得“Ok 啦，至少是Bruce，应该还可以”，就看了。

不好看！

故事普通也就算了，视觉效果也没什么。再加上，喜欢Bruce是因为他眼里的沧桑感，他污浊而有型的样子，他很顺滑的演技。在这部电影里，却都找不到。因为Bruce在电影里，一半的时间，是Surrogates，所以，皮光润滑，还有头发喔！看了很不爽！

当然，Bruce还是英雄，可我还是情愿看他在Die Hard里怎么打怎么炸他都不死。

verdict:

2.5/5

还是不看好……

（观后，毓豪说District 9比这个好看多了。我看着他，两个不同等级的东西是不能够拿来作比较的。）

出轨

男人和女人在办公室里是邻居。男人比女人年长，但两人趣味相投，经常都是聊到不亦乐乎，尤其对非主流电影。

男人和女人和许多同事一样，都是未婚人士。可，他们未婚却并非单身。两人在公司以外都有个爱情长跑的伴侣，相爱得很，只等待共结连理的一天。两人不时在聊天之时，也聊一些爱情的观点，谈恋情中的趣事。比同事间的感情好一点，像一般朋友一样。

两个月前，两人接获经理的通知，被派到英国受训两个月，回来接受一个大计划。两人都是事业心重的城市人，当天下班就庆祝接受大计划，共同讨论该如何应对。

因为从香港分行被派到英国的，只有他俩。在那里受训的日子，都是相依为命。每天下班以后，男人女人一起上健身房运动，然后回宿舍下厨弄晚餐。偶尔忙碌的时候，就到中餐馆用餐。

女人渐渐对男人的感觉比朋友多一些，但也碍着各自都已拍拖，这好努力说服自己，一切不过是异乡的寂寞所引起。

男人也渐渐喜欢上女人。但，却不想破坏对方的感情世界，也不想伤害女友，也一样默默承受。

有天晚上，下起大雨。男人女人在酒吧喝酒至深夜，雨停后才回宿舍。结果，女人在男人的床上过了一夜。

男人女人并没做了什么。女人只是轻轻把头靠在男人的肩膀，过了一夜。趁男人未睡醒的时候，女人就走了。

接下来训练的最后一个星期，两人也用一贯“成人的成熟态度”，不提那一晚的事，勉强挨过一周。

“我们什么都没做，没对不起任何人。”两人不约而同的这样想。但内心深处都知道，这是自己骗自己的说法。

回香港后，女人同男友分手，申请长期在英国母公司上班。男人同女友结婚，以为可以忘记一切，却在半年后离婚。

当你爱上一个人的灵魂，那，比爱上一个躯体还要难以自拔。

他们没有出轨。

澳门旅游指南

我刚刚从澳门回来的时候，碰巧遇上佳慧也想到澳门玩玩，但又没空详细的计划，所以我就趁记忆仍新鲜的时候，帮她弄了一个地图。

这里，我就按照地图上的号码，大概为大家介绍介绍：

1. 龙华茶楼
   摄友必去之地。老板是为爱好摄影之人，摄友在老式茶馆拎着相机左拍右拍，没人理你。老式茶馆让人觉得轻松自在，步伐特别慢。老板并不老，而且友善好客，又很幽默。我本人非常喜欢这茶楼。
   这茶楼在网上已经非常有名，游客在那里吃早点，必和老板拍照留念。
2. 大三巴坊一带，驰名黄枝记
   大三巴坊我就不必多介绍，每位游客到澳门必定和那面历史悠久的破墙拍照留念。还有,爱看博物馆的朋友,也别忘了大炮台旁的澳门博物馆。
   我想介绍的是黄枝记，传统homemade的竹升云吞面，非常好吃。至少我俩在那里吃了两顿晚餐，而我连续两晚都吃一样，云吞面。
   周末游客多，排队排长龙。
3. 跑狗场
   这个我没去，可是想想听特别。别人都是赛马，澳门人赌钱赌到没东西毒，连狗都要赌。
4. 松山灯塔
   从来没到过灯塔的我，这是第一次上一个多年以来依旧照耀夜晚的灯塔。可以环视澳门，也处处可见晨运的澳门人。
5. 赌场
   最出名的葡京赌场就在这一带。此外，还有星际、永利、英皇……简直是赌场一条街。
6. 西望洋教堂
   这一带是澳门有钱人居住的地方。我们沿着上路往上走，一路都是豪华的大屋子，到了西望洋教堂，可俯视南湾一带的风景，也可看见澳门旅游塔。
7. 妈阁庙
   澳门以拜祭妈阁为主。我上回有去，这次没到那里了。
   
8. 澳门观光塔
   我们一直只远观，一直要到那里，却没有时间。澳门观光塔，除了可在那里用餐看风景之外，还可以玩一些刺激的游戏，笨猪跳此类的游戏。太恐怖了，我不敢玩。
9. 营地大街，金马轮咖啡饼店
   最好吃的猪扒包，也是最便宜的猪扒包、蛋挞、奶茶……在那里用餐像在电影电视剧一样，在狭窄的空间里每个uncle、auntie近来都想认识彼此一样，说家常便饭的话，谈小孩话新闻，很好的感觉。
   
10. 殷皇子大马路，澳门茶餐厅
    不是非常特别的地方，可我俩在那里吃了两晚的宵夜，因为姐姐说那里的凌蜜(honey lemon)最好喝。

这是向都是澳门半岛里的观光点，此外，还有氹仔和路环。

1. 最好吃的蛋挞，Lord Stow's Garden Cafe
2. 路环消磨时光
3. 氹仔停停走走

在澳门半岛走走，90%的时间可用不行，因为地方不大，走来走去，就到目的地。如果想大巴士，记得准备零钱，因为巴士可没为你找钱。如果你想到的地方靠近任何一家大赌场，可从港澳码头乘搭那赌场的免费巴士，到了赌场，在步行到你的目的地。

澳门好好玩！

丰富的幸福早餐

话说我上一趟回家，碰巧是十五，姑丈总是在初一十五抓螃蟹，听说那时候的螃蟹比较好吃。姑丈抓了螃蟹，便把7只送来我家。妈妈一直没想到该怎么烹调那7只螃蟹，该煮黑胡椒呢？还是粥？还是牛油？

有天晚上，妈妈问：“不如明天早上我们吃螃蟹粥当早餐？”

“哇！”我惊讶得看着妈妈。

“作嬷，不可以麽？不要吃就算！”妈妈说。

“没有没有，只是有点吓倒。”（差点没有好料吃。）

所以我离开家的那天早上，我们吃螃蟹粥当早餐。哈哈哈哈！

中秋节快乐

上回趁马来人新年回家，赶上妈妈做的公仔饼，好好吃！

慈母多败儿，我本人只会吃不会煮。公仔饼好吃不好做，功夫要好，才能够烘一手不软不硬，恰到好处的饼。这小鱼公仔饼是kosong的，是我最喜欢吃的。妈妈还作了黑豆沙和咸豆沙的，连馅都是亲手做的哦！多厉害！咸豆沙是我妈妈独创的公仔饼，外头没得卖！

我实在是太幸福了！！哈哈哈！

涂上一层薄蛋，准备烘咯！

哇！出炉咯！

这几天烟雾特别浓，你说，我可以拍到美丽的月亮吗？

但不管怎样，先在这里祝大家中秋节快乐。得空就看看月亮，想想嫦娥吧~

我们很好

第一次，我一笑置之。第二次，我开始有点不耐烦了……

不管你是谁，你认识我与否，我想申明，我的感情私人世界，真的与你（制造谣言者）无关。第一次，我连自己几时结婚都不知道，竟有谣言说我们将在年底结婚，而且婚礼在槟城一间酒店举行。吓倒我的朋友，问我为什么结婚没通知。我才被吓倒呢！厉害哦！怎么没人发请帖给我？

第二次，我也不知是否出自同一个人，竟说我俩分手了。惊动他父母，拨电来问个真相。我开始觉得有点不耐烦。

我只想在这里说，我们很好。听见谣言的朋友，别担心。一切都是谣言。

Comfort Food

On the day I flew home on Raya, I didn't have time to grab a proper lunch until I checked in at Terminal 1. I grabbed something quick from Toast Box like 10mins before my boarding time.

Among all things, I least expect myself to blurt out THIS when the cute waiter asked me what I would like to order.

A comfort food maybe?

Spoilt

This is how I spoil myself

A bottle of Hoegaarden and some Lay's potato chips.

Man, I better be exercising tomorrow!

No! That's My FOOD!

My dad gave me a call this afternoon when I was having my lunch somewhere nearby my house.

Dad:"What are you eating?"

Me:"Nasi Briyani"

Dad:"Hey, that's Malaysia food! You gotta pay patent when you eat this in Singapore!"

Hahahaha!

By now, I believe everybody should know of the stupid "my food" fight. It's one of the most idiotic thing that has ever happened. And worst, our beloved Ng Yen Yen said she wanted to patent all the Malaysia delicacies. Great Brain you have minister!

Does that mean we got to pay US when we eat burger? Does that mean we got to pay Italy when we eat spaghetti? Does that mean the ang mohs got to pay all the asia countries when they eat rice 'coz that's not their main diet?

That's very stupid! Truly mempersiasuikan!!!!

I never like Chef Wan when Mama used to watch all his cooking programme. But hey, he stood up to say something about the stupid fight!

So I guess Ng Yen Yen never eat Singapore Popiah?

。。。

我最近心里很不平衡，昨天已经差点哭了，今天就真的哭了起来。

压力是有的。可是工作总是得完成，而完成工作最困难的不是工作本身难不难。而是，被泼在身上的冷水多不多？得到的支持多不多？

是不是我总是忍气吞声，所以中招了？我没有答案。

工作压力之于，以为读读姐姐的部落，消遣一下。结果发现姐姐的朋友竟然取笑我的头发。卷发究竟有多好笑？你说我小气也好，无聊也好，心理不平衡也好。我是生气了。我究竟要这样子被嘲笑多久。我不是美女难道你是帅哥？原本已经闷了几天的气，一下子控制不住……

It's been long...

It's been long since I felt suffocated...

I can take this once, twice, thrice... But I asked myself, then what?

Out of Town

I'll be out of town for 4 days~

Going to Macau with my sister, yes yes... I know... I totally understand the questions you have in your mind... But not for gambling...

But yea, I'm still going despite of so many trips I have had this year.

See ya~

District 9-尽显人性的弱点

看完了这部片，我想收回我以前曾经说过的一句话。曾经，我说Peter Jackson制作了Lord of the Rings三部曲以后，应该收山，见好就收，永远保持美好的名誉。

对不起，我要收回！

如果不是Peter Jackson，我们哪有这么一部好看的科幻片？这么多年，外星人侵犯地球的片子，来来去去，只有几个给以预想得到的剧情以及结局。外星人电影，就渐渐失去色彩。而District 9正改变了所有以往对外星人的偏见，而且，显示人性的弱点。

我也不想破坏各位看这部电影会有的惊喜，电影情节自然是不提了。看完整部片子，我的头很痛。因为，我几乎是皱着眉头把片子看完。电影带来的那份压抑，长达两个小时，久久不能释放。就一直集在我的眉头之间，直到后来，Prawn在制作那朵玫瑰的时候，眼泪就被释放出来了。

我希望不会有续集，让这部电影的一切，这样suspend在每个观众的心里。

District 9,绝对是2009年最值得观看的科幻片！

Rating: 4.5/5 （0.5分，被有点太过血腥送走了）

在伤口上撒盐巴

最近热气，下唇里长了一个ulcer。吃东西很不方便，刷牙也很不方便。

我向来怕痛，可是看这个ulcer长得不怎么大，昨天就很下心肠，在伤口上洒盐巴！

痛不欲生……
简直是尖叫都没有用……

可是，我还是连续撒了两天……

试一试

一直想买Macro lens，可是又很穷，怎么办？

这次回家，在姐姐相熟的相机店败了这个Hoya close up +4的filter，以区区的RM60假假冒充macro lens。虽然不及macro lens的效果好，可是“无虾鱼也好”。

放了这个filter，发现颜色变得很淡。我不知是否同我的olympus在low light condition拍照不太好有无关系，看来下次等外头艳阳高照的时候再试一次。

我的法式面包晚餐，加上scramble egg和bacon。

一时贪吃，还弄了几片配nutella。

吃完法式面包后，来点yogurt。

好饱啊，我看我还是泡茶去~

Up

打从Toy Story开始，我们三姐弟便是Pixar超级影迷。从来没有错过Pixar的任何一套动画。更有几部，我们是可以倒背如流。就连每一部动画前的Short Film，我们都是非常喜爱。背井离乡好几年，已经好多套Pixar没同姐姐和弟弟看，毓豪自然扮演了“超级影迷”来。（被逼的啦）

Up还是一样，没有让人失望。颜色鲜明，一如Pixar以往的动画一样。人物的性格分明，主角配角一样有让人牢牢记住的魅力。丰富的想象力，欢快的背景音乐，让人不自觉地向翩翩起舞。当气球把屋子“连根拔起”，飞上天空，我也很希望自己有这等魔法屋。

除了丰富的想象力，这部动画也非常写实。小孩Russel是父母离异的可怜孩子，自小没有父爱，可是童稚纯真，惹人爱。老人Carl和太太相爱，是不折不扣的青梅竹马。当Carl回想起已不在人世的太太，让我几次感动到眼泪都流了出来。

值得一提的是3D的效果非常好，动画里每个人物，都活生生的在面前晃来晃去。看来电影业为了打败盗版市场，也是做了很多的努力。3D大概就是动画片这几年的趋势了。

要我打分数？5/5，非常值得一看！

别错过哦！

（现在我的Wallpaper和Screensaver都是Up!）

Orange Sunday

If my title is misleading, please forgive me. I'm a colour person, not a vege person. So I named my title with the colour of the day, not the fruits/vegetables that I made into juice :P

On Sunday morning, I decided I want some carrot milk.

And it was match made too! >.<"

My orange bubbles told me carrot milk is good for your skin. So, don't be lazy, drink this more often :D

Public Enemies

I've been looking forward for this movie ever since Khai Lin told me about it. Johnny Depp, how can one miss his movie??

I was very excited when I knew this is going to be played by Johnny Depp and Christian Bale. But, it was a shock that Christian Bale was the biggest disappointment in this show! In his first scene, I thought "Man! Why did he act like Keanu???"

If you like Johnny Depp (like me!!!), it's still a show to watch, because he's simply the best!

Side note, the soundtrack was very good :D

(Do let me know if you're interested)

Rating: 3/5 (all the stars go to JD!)

PS. The veteran policeman was very charismatic as well!

Green Saturday

I bought a juicer just Tuesday, finally.

I've tried making juice from blender, and it's a lot more hard work! So, I think I better use a juicer, especially if I'm planning to do more fruit fasting.

A glass of apple celery juice, good for people with high blood pressure.

And you know what, I don't feel so guilty from my oily prata breakfast after this glass of healthy juice :P

理发师很喜欢玩

我的头发留来留去都不怎么长，而且经我半年以来不停地旅行游玩晒太阳游泳，我的头发开衩到没有眼睛看。所以，今天我去修一修。

反正是要留长的，反正懒惰，反正要省钱，反正方便，我在公司附近某间小间的理发店随便修一修就好。

一如往常，理发师很多话讲。高谈阔论我的头发该如何处理也不是第一次，我也习惯了，只要态度好就可以。而且这位老兄还很pro一下，说他研究过了，卷发的人，心情不好的时候头发真的不听话的哦！他的广东腔很浓，我忍不住问他是不是马来西亚人，果然他从吉隆坡来的。

剪完头发以后，我的头发很乱。我问他可不可以帮我梳一下。结果哦，他帮我吹到头发站起来，好像要穿美美去yum酱！*晕*

“可不可以不要让我的头发不要站这样高？”

“噢，看不习惯啊？我尽量啦！”

结果，我走出店门，我的头发还是站站的。为了不伤他的自尊心，我走远了才随便打理自己的头发。看起来比较正常的样子。毕竟哦，我是穿着T恤、牛仔裤、球鞋，还背一个手提电脑！竟然吹一个yum头，很奇怪哩！

很奇怪，每次我理发，不管哪一个理发师，不管男还是女，他们都很喜欢把我的头发吹来吹去。我每次都强调我不是要去yum，回家要洗头发。他们还是，“不要紧啦！”酱。

而且，重点是，刚才我的肚子已经西北饿，你还搞来搞去，饿死我啦！

（不过话说回来，刚才那位老兄的服务态度还蛮好的啦！而且收费不贵）

Boobs Pasta

Back in San Francisco almost one month ago, we saw this in a shop at Fisherman's Wharf. After which, Hui Nee posted the photos on Facebook and we started to joke how would the pasta looks like if they were cooked.

Hui Nee took it so seriously, she actually bought them for me!

And I promised her, I'd take pictures and show her how do they look like.

Before cook. Oh, you saw the nipples?

Cooked. Slightly deformed but can still see the shapes.

But after stirring with my ingredients, I can't find the boobs??!! They became a plate of normal pasta...

Oh... There they go, a deformed boob.
