Porridge Day

This is of course not an evil blog.. cos porridge is for mostly.. sick ppl...or.. no gigi.. hahaha... like my case, Alex complained he had head ache, a bit flu n feel like going to be sick... so what to do... have to avoid all those deep fried stuffs and chicken, eat something more "cheng", so i cooked porridge la... hehe... after give him flu medication n put him on a short nap, i go dig everything i have in the fridge... cos lazy wanna go out grocery oso ler... hehe.. mana boleh... he sleeping so syok at home.... i oso wanna stay at home...
Full course... ready to makan... but photography session first..

haha.. the same "Di Huang Chai" again... notice that i always eat the same few vegetables... if you know me long enough, u definitely know that i am very particular n choosy on the vegetables i eat... in fact... there are definitely improvement cos last time i don eat vege.... or the vege i eat are the ones in light green or coloured vege... i don touch dark green coloured vege at all.. when mom forced me to eat vege, i swallow the whole thing, whole piece... just like mom forced me to eat the yolk from the hard boiled egg, i swallow it in small small pieces... or i pretend to eat, put in my mouth, then go out from the kitchen... keh si keh si go out the compound to take some air, n there goes the yucky hard boiled egg yolk in the bushes....i threw the whole thing away u know.. hahaha... i know many ppl lie to eat egg yolk... but me, i hate it.. especially the hard boiled ones....


Peanuts.. yum..

okay.. this is pickled... okay.. i suddenly do totally forgot what it is called.... let me go check it out the next time i go grocery shopping...

Pickled radish on it's own

Chai por eggs... pickled raddish i suppose...

Sesame Oil meat and eggs with of course, lots of old ginger....

Steamed minced meat.. Notice it looked like like a dead brain somehting like that?? i guess it's because the meat was machine minced... u know... u go to the pork seller, u say u wan mince meat n they put in sort of like grinder/mincing machine n u get your minced meat... don have to hassle much when u get home... so i guess the next time i wanna cook this again... i suppose i would have to sharpen my knife, get myself one block of lean meat n mince it myself just like the old days where mom will ask me go mince the meat..

Eating time....

Left some vege from the sweet and sour meat balls,, so just stir fry with oyster sauce n throw in the dried shrimp whcih was earlier meant for the kacang botol... :)


Soup.... i dunno what they call this soup in english... haha... only know how to cook...




When you wanna cook but lazy to cook full course meal.. cook Pasta!!

Spagethi with again... vege n loads of grated parmesan cheese...


I have been eating a lot of Instant Noodles lately...

i just noticed that i ate quite a lot of instant noodles lately.. it's either lazy wanna go out buy food or the fridge is empty and telling me it's time to go grocery shopping/marketing.... or i'm too lazy to cook or i am alone n no point cooking so much things and waste food... so what is the best solutionwhere at the same time you don't want to starve yourself? haha.. jeng jeng jeng... instant noodles la.. of course i know instant noodles is not goo for heal so to compensate, i add egg, crabmeat stick and a whole bunch of vege... haha... well... to let me eat healthier and at the same time, make me feel less guilty... muahahaha
But vege is the main ingredients for now.. previously, it was eggs... now, vege goes with any soup instant noodles.....

and also Indo Mee...

Malaysian Fav Part 2

So, this is Gurney Drive... not exactly Gurney Drive.. temporary spot for them right opposite Marina Bay while they upgrade the old space in Gurney Drive....


So, when you're here at Gurney Drive, one thing you shouldn't miss is the Asam Laksa... although it's not the best Penang Asam Laksa here, but still.... can eat la...

A Near Experience in Lottery Strike.....Damn!

Last Friday, i dreamt of a cobra, big and quite pretty, in front of my room... n my Jacky was attempting to attack it... siao kia wan... made me so scared.. i was shouting n shouting(in my dream, of course) to ask him come to me.. me n him stayed on the bed, i had to call BOMBA.. ahahahah... and then, i got wake up a little while.. in my half asleep half awake condition, i told myself.. i must remember to ask Alex help me buy COBRA number today... (it's saturday, so got number la) must buy cobra, not other snake.. then continue to sleep n resume with other dunno what dream i cannot remember...

So, when i woke up, turn on my pc, saw Alex online.. he was at work that time.. then i go n tell him, "eh, later please chack for me the number for PYTHON then help me buy! what the!!!! i also dunno y i go n say PYTHON.. stupid me...

Anyways, he helped me buy PYTHON n the number is 606 for python and asked me what first number i wanna put.. so i put 1.... so it's 1606...

then after cooking dinner, it was 8 somehting, so i went to check online if i did strike anything... well... nope... not my lucky day i guess...

After dinner, i went out with Alex, wanted to buy shoe cabinet but damn.. no stock.. so went to giant for a walk.. after parking the car, while walking to the hypermarket, i told him, " today the number no open hor the PYTHON...then only i bloody realise i told him python instead of COBRA!!! in the middle of the parking lot, i kinda said it pretty loud when i realise my stupid mistake.. "OH MY GOD, IT'S A BLOODY COBRA, WHY THE HELL DID I TELL U IT'S A DAMN FUCKING PYTHON???"

then i don't know what COBRA number is to i asked him to call his uncle n ask, today got COBRA open or not? then he called n ask his uncle loe, saying " just now the python din open hor.. any other snake got open ar?" i was really hoping he would say no... i could not hear anything from the other side, waiting anxious for him to say NO... but he said... COBRA STRIKE TOTO FIRST PRIZE TODAY(COBRA number is 592, so will at least kena 3 numbers if i had gave the correct info... but fyi... Government Toto no play 3 numbers wan.. only Sdn. Bhd got play 3 numbers for Toto).. argh... my jaw nearly dropped.. it was indeed an unlucky day... wasn't really upset until he told me his grandma bought the number i bought as well... and his granny bet RM 10 for the number... so i'm not upset on not winning the couple of puluh bucks but was upset that i failed to make his granny happy... hehe... i bet she would be really happy to win at least a couple of hundred bucks... but due to my stupidity n stim-ness... i have failed... haha.. or else his granny will sayang me more adi.. keke....

aih.... kek si wa... hahaha.. anyways, better luck next time i hope.. haha... this is like ppl send it in front of u already but u throw it away... stupid me... really cannot accept, cannot believe man... i so damn know what is a cobra n what is a python... aiyo... dunno what got into me.. damn!!!!!!

and i wasn't drinking, i did not drink and i haven't been drinking... not even a drop... i did not take any drugs... not even a damn panadol but y so stupid eh... Melia, u got any other facts on stupidity besides alcohol make ppl stupid??? bwahahaha....

Look at first prize!!! it's 9592... 3 numbers at least... if not me, Alex n his granny would strike it.. if only i wasn't so stim that bloody Saturday morning...

Intel is freaking strict with all these things.. s what happened, when i drove all the way home after work, parked my car then only i realise this sticker sticked at my back pasanger's window.. what the.. argh.. this sticker is famous on it's difficulty to remove...cos once you remove, you wil only make things worst.. u know la.. this is really strong sticker.. we all play with stickers before.. i suppose u all know what i mean... anyhow, i need to try my luck.. i cannot let this hideous sticker occupied my window screen... hahaha.. i remove bit by bit, standing at the window for like 15 minute. even my flat guard uncle was wondering what i was doing... hehe.. but haha.. finally.. mnaged to removed the whole thing nicely, not a single "scar" on my window.. haha.. i'm keeping this for souvenir... haha
