Tribute to my ancestry

The great thing about staying in homeland is to binge on affordable, good-tasting food at anytime, anywhere. Working in KL allows me to take lunches/dinners around and about the city (although time is awasting with the horrible congestion but what the heck..) and I love loveeee my Hainanese cuisine :)


Last week, some of us went to Yut Kee down at Jalan Dang Wangi. We were lucky to arrive in time and had the fresh-from-oven pork roast....the pork was warm and had that delicious, melt-in-your-mouth sensation. I had my roti babi and the essential iced coffee. Really beat those franchised places anytime, I tell you!


Anyway, thinking to start baking and hopefully bloom to a new found hobby? My parents and twin kinda influence me with their pictures and recipes so heck, I'm gotta try. Moreover, it's kinda in my blood to find and produce good food. Seems simple enough and ingredients aren't hard to come by. Gonna wipe that dust off the hand-me-down, mini oven this weekend...and hope good stuff turn out :)

another bite the dust...

A new year, a new beginning.

So sad to find a good friend/ colleague moving on to a better opportunity..... wishing him and his family all the best!


Oh well, a great reason to visit him in that future city!

Thaipusam

I was on my way to work today and found myself stuck at this procession...





Thaipusam is on tomorrow :) and best part....it's a holiday!

Too bad I didn't spot any anyone with poked/pierced works on his body. That would be a sight...

Urgh

What would you do if someone had forced you into a situation and you had no other option but to do it? Even though you know you don't want to do it but you had accepted the condition and the others in that similar situation are trying to ease your condition?

Will you choose to make those who are trying to ease you to suffer too - just because you're suffering? Or will you try to make the best of the situation and learn as much as you can?

Will you want people to pity on your situation or will you just at least try to help those who are helping you?

If you choose to make others to suffer, then don't expect people to take pity on you. You should just voice out, say no and take the brute of the alternate.

So now the question, what happen if you are in the others' shoe?

anecdotes from childhood

when you were young, did you ever think of running away? ...well, a friend was sharing his stories of his childhood. He was whipped often by his late dad for being extremely playful..so one day, he couldn't take it anymore, he sped off on his bike and rode away for the whole day. When evening came, he got hungry and thought what and where to eat. Just like that, he said..ok, i better go home. And he actually cycled all the way back again!! Another story, he fought with brother in the house and next thing they knew, they broke their brand new tv! LoL. And then he went on telling another story of withdrawing money from his bank account. Being young and fickled, he signed a form and only to find out his signature didn't match his original one at his account! Tried a few versions and finally, the teller gave a clue on how his signature looked! Omg..funny! He even told us one of his creative signatures had his name curved with 2 'rat tails' below! He then proceed to draw on a board, explained where the tails were and got my whole project team laughing like crazy! Hahaha...good fun :)

Canon's new ambassador

Did you see the Canon's latest ad with their new ambassador? I think it's a great fit! Who else who could relive his memories through images other than Ian Wright? And he's one funny guy :)

This Christmas..

..I remember why the Lord loves me so. I look to Him for my future, to have His light to guide my path. I look to Him for my source of strength, His angels to protect me and all dear to my heart. I pray that my mind and heart know my wants are not necessary the best for me, and that I will continuously acknowledge that His plans for me are far greater and magnificent. I pray that what I have is used to glorify Him and Him alone. May I stay away from pride and complaint, that hope and graciousness are seen within me. Thank you Jesus.
