Food Embraces the World

I was just touring a nearby food fair to check it out without any expectations at all. The last time I went to a food fair, I ended up hungry because I hate most of the food. Now you can tell how finicky I am! =P Now back to the story, to my surprise, it was full of people from all walks of life (though thay are just students) and there were many food with many colors and flavors prepared by people from the local, Nigeria, Middle Eastern, China and such. To begin with, the place was filled with different aromas of food and I kinda hated it (my clothes smell of food) but the food and drinks were way better than pasar malam food. Among the food available were otak-otak, cakes, muffins, burgers, fruits, pastas, shakes and so much more! *I'm excited now!*

So I bought a giant sandwich which costs me RM6. What I realized was how cooperative and happy people are when it comes to food. I strongly believe that food do bring people together regardless of whether they're vegetarians or non-vegetarians. There is something for everyone. It's just a matter of coming up with something that's acceptable for everyone. What is meeting without rempeyek? What is hanging out without teh tarik? What is gathering without steamboat? What is offering prayers without fruits? See the connection? I'm starting to believe that I should be dealing with food instead of 'monkeys'. LOL.

*A big bite on my sandwich left a long trail of mustard down my chin...and shirt =.=' ---> XD*

Beauty & Her Best

Finally the biggest event of the year was over. All those blood and sweat *literally!* that we've poured has finally paid off. Everyone was yelling and unhappy with each other at first but last night, everyone had a big grin on their faces. I was of course completely drained after months of hardwork (my hardwork comes with lots of complaints and grumbling LOL) and believe me, I felt as if my skin has aged! I quickly put on my facial mask in hopes of restoring the S-Factor back in the dermis (mind you! S here means Sexy). So after this I have lots of detoxification to do considering how much fast food, processed food and spices have I stuffed inside my stomach when I was too busy to get myself a decent meal.

Speaking of food, I'd like to share a few beauty (LOL) secrets of mine. To begin with, I believe my skin is not half as bad afterall considering the amount of vits and herbal soups that I take every now and then. Both internal and external beauty are equally inportant and you have to prioritize them. Wash your face every morning, after exercising, after removing make up and before you sleep. Then followed by your facial care regime. Minimize the use of heavy cosmetics to avoid the hassle of removing it and damaging your skin. Drink plenty of water and if you're a tea person, green tea is the best because it has anti-oxidant and hence you know what that means. Drink herbal soups every now and then to strengthen your immune system and to add 'life' to your skin.

Big fish like Talapia and such has lots of fat around the belly so don't throw it away because that's the gold in the vault. It's rich in collagen which helps to strengthen your facial muscles and it's good for skin! So go for the best okay =) Last but not least, laughing has always been the best medicine and it also contributes to you having that million dollar look.

Fishing the Future

Ten digits are all I have
To grab every single chances in the air
I want to hold them all even
However full as they are
They can never be too much.

I've traded my all for a piece
of recognition
Which everyone judges you upon
I'm seeing my fellow friends fishing
on a boat in the sea, while
I'm here building a bigger boat.

Why and what have I to prove
but intelligence and hardwork?
Will I reap what I sow?
Why did I not choose to fish like the others
but to build a bigger boat?

Will I lose touch with Present
while I'm busy chasing after Future?
Will I not have bitter sweet memories
while I'm busy creating one for my later days?
God bless me with strength so this boat can be
set sailing in the sea.

Love is Ubiquitous

Love is in the air~ lalala~

It's funny how trend has a major effect in every aspects of our lives. Fashion, food, entertainment, ideas, behaviors, love life and so much more. My once-a-kid-brother has proclaimed that he is in love and is about to start a relationship. I wouldn't be surprised considering the fact that humans are born with the capability to love and to be loved. I'm actually very happy that this world is slowly filled with people who are very much in love and cares nothing more than world peace and peacefulness. My biggest dream is to see everyone helping every human race regardless of their problems.
Love is at a spiritual level and once you've found love, the next person/thing/The One you turn to is God. God is great! All my life, I've been asking for nothing but blessings for my family, loved one and my friends (pets too, if I have one XD). What is wealth without health? And what is life without love? You see, everyone has something or someone to believe in and that's what you have faith in. That's also a steering of your life.
'Eat Pray Love' is about to be shown in cinemas and I reckon you to go watch it. There is so much more to life than a highly paid job, fame, fortune and status. Things and people's perception do not define you. It's who you are that defines you.

<3 Love is all around - Wet Wet Wet

Fiery Red

Ah po: You don wan sambal ah? Chilli?
Me : No.
Ah po: Why ah? Scared hot ah? You a Singaporean ah?
Me : =.=''' Just don't feel like eating it.

It has been said that if you don't take spicy food, you're a Singaporean. Bulls**t! Not all Malaysians love spicy food and nor do all Singaporeans hate spicy food. It's a matter of individual preference. I love my food to be as authentic as possible without sambal or really hot chilli belacan ruining it. I love sambal and belacan too, just at times. You know I've heard of how Malaysian love chilli sauce so much that they actually bring bottles of chilli sauce overseas just so that they can eat their food =P

Speaking of chilli, I suddenly remembered the time when I was a kid. We were staying in a flat, and our lot was the most corner one. My mom helped some of the bachelors do their laundry because they're too lazy to do it themselves (I suppose). So one night when my mom was at the back doing something, someone at the door rang the bell. I peeked outside and saw one of the bachelors. I yelled asking my mom to come quick to open the door. As I was watching tv at that time, I yelled really loud and frequent so that she would come and open the door (I was taught not to simply open doors to strangers >.<). When my mom finally showed up with her grumpiness, that damn bachelor disappeared. She thought I bluffed her and she got furious. She went to the back and came back with a chilli in her hand. She rubbed the chilli on my lips saying that I lied. Oh yuen wang eh... That how she got the idea on how to punish us whenever we lied.

*Eating chilli doesn't make me a hot chick*

Looking Down the Grassy Road

Phew it's been a while since I last log in. Time flew by like it's nobody's business. I'm beginning to feel the weight of age on me. Both physically and emotionally. Boy, how tired it is becoming an adult with so much responsibilities on my shoulder. Now I'm beginning to doubt if this path I'm taking is the right one for me. I imagined a few potential things that I can focus on if I'm tired of my current status. #1, a chef. I'd love to learn how to cook and bake. As the saying goes; 'The way to a man's heart is through his tummy.' Well screw that, they have something better in their head than food. Yeah if I'm good enough, maybe I can start my own business! Afterall, food is needed all the time whether it's during recession or not =) #2, a writer/blogger. I love to write and sadly enough I only have one true fan. How pathetic is that! Never mind, forget that. I came across a really good blog recently and I was inspired even more. I'd like to have a blog like that but sadly again, time doesn't allow me to do all those. I'm really trapped in the web of time. Free me! Maybe someday I'll be able to do all that. In the mean time, I hope my heart and mind are strong enough to hold myself together. I'm sailing in the middle of a rough sea with strong waves rocking my ship!
