Mother In Law Exterminator???

Yesterday I was surfing on the net on where to get Asian spices in Capetown and come across this picture in one of Bo Kaap Mini Market selling South East Spices.

Mother In Law Exterminator - what do you think it taste like? I just hope that THE Mother In Law won't say "I'LL BE BACK"

Oooo This Is How they Make Rail Track..

Last week I went to see one of my company project in Gemas, Negeri Sembilan. We do Electrified Double track for KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu). So after this if you guys wants to travel to Perak or even Kedah from Johor, no worries, because no more single track train, it will be faster with this commuter.

I got bitten by Centipede (Lipan)

This is the suspected convict only that the one that bite me a bit smaller (far more smaller actually).

This is what that thing left me. A red dot of mark that is itchy once in a while

Moral of the Story:

1. Always wear safety gloves when you do gardening especially in damp area like drain or decompose area. Its the mansion of these kind of insects.

Friendly Reminder:

I might become centipede woman!

How to Loose Weight? (Confession of a Blob)

My transition to healthy breakfast

Someone said I gain weight recently and to be honest I did few kilos (5 kilos to be precised). I am so depressed. I cant see myself in the mirror without feeling a tinge of strange feeling. I never felt like I disowned my body. But this has to stop. So I did like everyone else do, exercise.
Few rounds of exercise I cursed myself few times on how ruthless I am behaving in taking tones of junk food. But working in the office is common with this culture. So I listed down few options that I can do other than exercise. My lists consist of liposuction (too expensive couldn't afford it and the thought of sucking out the fat make me cringe in horror), turn to vegetarian (I love meat too much) and so on. Turns out that still exercise is the most effective way. So here I go, exercising in hope that somehow I will become "hot" again.

My motivation

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom?

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his Mom? 

"Because I'm a woman," she told him. 

"I don't understand," he said. 

His Mom just hugged him and said, 

"And you never will, but that's O.K."....... 

Later the little boy asked his father, 

"Why does Mom seem to cry for no reason?". 

"All women cry for no reason," was all his Dad could say...... 

The little boy grew up and became a man, 

still wondering why women cry. 

Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him, he asked "God, why do women cry so easily?" 

GOD answered...... 

"When I made woman, 

I decided she had to be special. 

I made her shoulders 

strong enough to carry 

the weight of the world, yet, 

made her arms gentle enough to give comfort... 

I gave her the inner strength 

to endure childbirth 

and the rejection 

that many times will come 

even from her own children. 

I gave her a hardness 

that allows her 

to keep going and take care 

of her family and friends, 

even when everyone else gives up, through sickness and fatigue without 

complaining.... 

I gave her the sensitivity to love her children under any and all 

circumstances. Even when her child has hurt her badly.... 

She has the very special power to make a child's boo-boo feel better and 

to quell a teenager's anxieties and fears.... 

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults 

and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.... 

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but 

sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him 

unfalteringly.... 

For all of this hard work, 

I also gave her a tear to shed. 

It is hers to use 

whenever needed and ! 

it is her only weakness.... 

When you see her cry, 

tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though 

she may still cry, you will have made her heart feel good. 

She is special! 

Please send this to women you know, and those with mothers, 

sisters, and special women in their lives. 

But, also send this to men so they will understand about what a 

wonderful thing a woman is. 

Each day is a mountain that must be climbed; with courage each step 

gets easier.

Love your Mother Always

and keep her Smiling

I have Typical Malay Tastebud

John once said that even I am a very modern kind of girl, more like westerners but my taste bud is still like typical Malaysian (kampung). I actually agree with him. As much as I love to eat steak but nothing beat my love for sambal belacan and all those Ulam. Even now talking about it make me drool. There is a wise saying, You can tell about people from their food. 

Here are the kind of food that I treasure if one day I live in other country. (who knows :P)

1. Ikan Rebus Goreng with Sambal Bacang  

These two are the perfect combination! Just eat it with hot and steamy rice is enough for me. Talking about this combination, I remembered my aunt cook this once for lunch while waiting for her husband. She was cooking and I kept her company by talking to her and by the time that the husband came back, I finished the whole dish! Totally bad..

2. Udang Sambal Petai

I have few friends that always said they dont eat petai, they just eat the prawns. I think maybe because they are embarrass to admit that they do eat petai. (Petai is one smelly bean). But what the hell, I love petai. I actually like petai more than the prawns in this dish. If my grandmother cook this for us when we balik kampung, I collect all the petais' and eat (because my sisters like to act like they dont eat petai). Enough said, Petai is really awesome!

3. Kerabu Perut

This one is totally awesome. It's been so long I didn't eat this as it is hard for me to find people that really know how to do this.

All these dishes is on the list whenever I go back to my grandparents house. Without it, my balik kampung is not complete. Ok guys, I have to stop now because my tummy is rumbling and I am really drooling like nobody business.

Note: The reason of this post is because I ate Swedish meatballs in Ikea for lunch. And while eating it, I was thinking to myself what so special about it? For RM5.90 I can eat all of the above!

Whoever go to The Rock Cafe, Bandar Sunway

Dont ever missed out this Thai Curry Laksa, 

Tasty!

How Cherubic They Can Be

Since she is the only big cat in the house now, she is behaving like a diva, being picky over food, acting like the house is hers, and getting fat also!
