Food, Glorious Food!

Food. =D

Top left.. there's this place that sells frozen yoghurt in Sri Petaling.. Only opened recently... located in the same row as the Ong & Cheong Clinic... Its like a cafe.. but they sell frozen yoghurt mainly.. you can choose your own toppings to go with the yoghurt.. but then to me its so not worth it.. cause.. it cost 70 cents per topping... and they only give you a lil bit of it... so after having some at the place.. Kx and i decided to dapao one each and bring it home to top it with our own toppings... which resulted in the pic you see above... haha.. our cups were so full.. all you can see are the toppings... the frozen yoghurt is below... =) by the way.. they're having promotion currently until 31st of july where you buy one and get one free.. so one is only rm2++.. Check it out if you're a fan of yoghurt.. =D

Top right.. I cooked my first wholesome meal in vista.. =D i have been cooking.. but i have never attempted to cook a meal which consists of dishes and porridge before... its usually only porridge or soup or scramble eggs.. or something simple.. anyway... it was with the help of michelle cutting vege and washing them.. she made dessert too.. =) and.. the people that i fed were happy with the food.. and we had a nice dinner =D so i guess not too bad la har... XD david.. next time.. i cook i tell you la har.. =p

Bottom left.. after class today.. the 4 of us headed to klang just to try this curry mee.. haha.. it is NICE.. really... tastes like the curry mee i like in penang... the one in penang is one of my must eat whenever i go back... and this one in klang tastes almost similiar to it... Had other dishes of chicken and vege as well.. and the price was very reasonable.. =)

Bottom right.. LOL.. just me and my mou-liuness.. XD i liked how the star fruits looked after i cut them up.. so.. a picture of them before they go into our stomachs .. and my new housemates complained that i always need to take a picture of my food before i eat... haha.. NOT TRUE!

Bits of Musicals from my Childhood Memories. =)

Heylo.. =) haven't been blogging for a while..
cause thing is.. there's nothing interesting that's happening in my life... =.=
unless you consider lectures and the usual routine as interesting...
no wait. i think even lectures are more boring than previous semesters... =(
anyway.. i think.. i am getting lazier... the fact that there's no more class tests is actually bringing the lazy me out more and more...
I haven't even started revising my lectures...
Besides that, everything else is pretty much the same i guess...

That aside, i was searching for songs from musicals yesterday night..
i was supposed to start doing my PBL but apparently.. the lazy side of me took over and with the song "I'd do anything" from Oilver! stuck in my head... i started searching for that clip from the movie.. Some lyrics to share..

"I'll do anything.. For you dear anything..

For you mean everything to me...

I know thatI'll go anywhere...

For your smile, anywhere..

For your smile, ev'rywhere ... I'd see..."

And then... it led me to "Getting to know you" from The King and I.. One of my favourites when i was a kid.. =)

"Getting to know you.. Getting to know all about you...

Getting to like you.. Getting to hope you like me...

Getting to know you... Putting it my way... But nicely...

You are precisely... My cup of tea... "

Haha.. you should check out the full lyrics... =)

And that led me to.. "A spoonful of sugar" from Mary Poppins...

which i like these words...

"In ev'ry job that must be done... There is an element of fun...

You find the fun and snap! The job's a game!"

....

"A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

The medicine go down... The medicine go down...

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down...

In a most delightful way"

And then there's " I could've danced all night" from My Fair Lady...

Haha.. it brought back lotsa memories... of how dad used to record these on video tapes... yeah.. the old, black, one piece, box like video tape... for me to watch again and again when i was little... all these.. and it seems the songs... never fade from my memory... =) i don't know how many of you actually share the same fond memories of these musicals.. but i guess those who know all these... would smile to themselves when they hear the songs playing... now i wish i was a kid again... haha... get real! anyway.. going for lectures soon.. signing off... =D

For you, a thousand times over.. =)

I've finished reading "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini, a New York Times bestseller. And the book is the best i've read in this sem break.

I managed to read 4 novels but the one that got me stuck to it was this one.

I bought the book because it was a bestseller and i remembered reading a good review about it somewhere.Even after i've bought it, i left it aside until i've read the other novels. But once i've started reading, i was really stuck to it.

It's a riveting story, narrated by an Afghanistan boy, from his childhood until he grew up.

The story was set in Afghanistan, from its pre-Russian-invasion until the reigns of the Talibans. And as the story unfolds, the setting changed from Afghanistan to the US.

Initially, i thought this novel would be politics based but i was wrong.

It is a book rich with Afghan culture and tradition, the differences between the different ethnic groups and life in Afghanistan over the years.

A heartbreaking tale of friendship and betrayal, of a son yearning for his father's affection. I would say that this book is a must read.

It gave me an insight of Afghanistan and surprisingly, suddenly i was interested in Afghanistan, from the history to the culture to the geography, which led me to the destruction of Bamiyan, a heritage site that has been forever destroyed. Haha. Guess what? All i've been surfing about for the past few days have been all about Afghanistan and i am surprised to actually find that it used to be a beautiful place before the war broke out.

Anyway, a quote from the book that i like " For you, a thousand times over.. " =)

p/s: For the other novels that i've read, I liked "Sundays at Tiffany's" by James Patterson but the ending was a bit off for me.. i didn't like the way they end it. "The Cupid Effect" by Dorothy Koomson was =.=.. I didn't quite grasp the message that the author wanted to send across. "My Best Friend's Girl" also by Dorothy Koomson was quite a good book too. =)

Updates.

Updates. To prevent my blog from dying off like all my previous ones.
Just a peek to let you know what have i been up to after camp. =)
Well.. count me lucky to be down with food poisoning two days after i got back from camp.
Didn't know how i got it. But then i started feeling bloated and having stomachache after having pasta for dinner. Initially, i thought i was only having indigestion but apparently, that was not the case. =( I was supposed to attend a malay wedding dinner and go for a drive with mum and dad at Kuala Sepetang on Sunday. But thanks to my illness, i stayed home. FOR TWO WHOLE DAYS. Sleeping and throwing up. =.= great way to spend a weekend and to slim down. Whatever went into my mouth came out through my mouth again after half an hour. So all i had was Gatorade and no solid food at all. =(

The moment i can get solid food down my throat and i was feeling a biiiittttt better, i was out of the house. =D hehe. Yumcha with the girls and then off to school to visit camp. Actually, it's more like being a big kepo at camp. =p owh well.. i miss scouting, i miss being part of camp, i miss being a part of a big family where we work together to achieve the same thing. It's rare for me to have that kind of bond i used to have now. Anyway, the juniors were having some cooking competition when i arrived. Backwood's cooking. Which means, no cooking utensils are allowed. Only bamboo, leaves and whatever stuff you can get naturally can be used. No ajinomoto, no flavorings, no artificial stuff whatsoever. During my scouting days, this is one of the activities that i actually like. =) it's really quite a challenge especially to get everything u're cooking COOKED. Pictures below are pics of my juniors and their hasil kerja. =)

The chicken isn't cooked yet. That bamboo sitting over the fire should contain rice. Those longish stuff- some kind of bread like thing that we call "twist".

Aha! This one is partially cooked. Those 3 things- fishes wrapped in banana leaves. Those white clumps near the bricks- potato wrapped with dough.

Dad, mum and i had the famous kuey teow goreng basah for supper. Lots of food programmes have been intoducing it and saying its a must try. And yet me, staying only like less than 10km away had never try it. Anyway, the kuey teow was ok to me. nothing very special except that it has gravy. Dad didn't like it though, claims that it's too salty.

Had a post camp dinner with the camp committees and the other facilitators at tambun. and.. seafood is just... GOOOOOODDDD... Lol.. =D

Guess that's about it. I have other stuffs to be updated but i don't have the pictures with me. so.. next time. =)
