Sangat GERAM dan Sangat MARAH


kenapa i sedang marah marah ?
sebab ... i ternampak jacket ini dalam website esprit.com
n then... wth! discount 50% !
39.90 pounds!
oh Tuhan! Kenapalah macam ini?
bila i beli, discount pun 20% saja! rugi 20euro aku!
20 euro aku boleh beli banyak benda tau ?

macam ini...


aku beritahu.. ini rantai i dah tengok, dah 'eye' rantai nie LAMA sungguh.
thats y.. i sangat sangat GERAM sekarang sebab i tak dapat beli.
sumpah Ireland nie, takde SATU pun esprit shop yang jual jewellery/accessories!
ISHK!
yang lebih 'menggeramkan', website esprit.com dah tak displaykan rantai ini lagi,
which means, rantai ini sudah TIDAK DIJUAL?!?
OH MY GOD~
breath in, breathe out.
breathe in, breath out.

NOOOOOOOOO.... i cannot accept this fact! =(

Behind Those Eyes are Friends

as always, the aunty comes to visit each month.
but this month, the aunty insisted to be a wee bit more 'mafan'.
bringing pain, distress .. ok fine, i'm exaggeratin!
anyways, this morning, i woke up wif a terrible period pain, might be the sprite las nite,
so i skipped CSI CAL at 11. i think it was Powerpoint.
yeah, they TEACH us how to use POWERPOINT !
imagine!
messaged Grace, told her that I wouldnt go. N then i went back to sleep.
I'm not sure how many minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Of course, I wouldnt get up. And it was a rather persistent one.
N then, my phone rang, Grace asks me to open d door.
There she was, as bubbly as ever.
And she held up a hot water bottle, told me to use it and said *i look terrible. LOL!
:P
thats really really sweet.
n for dinner, nikita cooked instant noodles n fried eggs for me.
no idea why but the eggs tasted really nice.
n she did the dishes for me either!
thats not all. she bought cadbury for me too~ =)
thanx so much nikita! u're one helluva hsemate!
n in the afternoon, Tong left me a post-it to show her care.
Thanx Tong! u're helluva hsemate too.

Bern, see, my hsemates (minus 1) are better than urs*!
;P

-tong n nikita-


*just kidding. dun marah marah k.
oh yeah, n since i was home d whole day, i finally finished my Heart of Greed.
I think i cried about 4 times today watching that show.
N now that my TVB business is done here,
its back to serious business.

Serious business requires serious attitude.
Discipline.
Hopefully.

BOOKS!

R u N

Run - Snow Patrol

I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done

And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here

Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do

Light up...

Slower slower
We don't have time for that
All I want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads

Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess

this is one good song =)

its weekends!

n i watched d trampoliners in their mock competition..






way to go Grace~ good job for winning the novice! >.<








Second trial

Not feeling too satisfied with the taste of the chillies' gravy i cooked just 30 mins ago, i decided to recook it ... taking it as a concentrate. so this time, i stirfried d taucheong n added d concentrated gravy. add this, add that... stir stir.. voila! ok, maybe not so voila, but at least, d smell was similar, n the taste, i would give it a 55% ? lol ! considering this my first time ... ahh .. =D


chop - slice - mash - stir

ingredients

one of the more important ingredients

of cos, the main thing in d dish

stirfry till smell come out - i cooked this during d weekend so Aoife wont faint wif the belacan smell

yep, yep ... half way there !

Voila~! =D

n my accompanying dish ... - Tom Yum noodles. n its not Maggi! i made it myself.


oh... I LOVE MYSSELFF ~

Taucheong-AsamKoe-Belacan Chilli

Operation FAILED !

i didnt noe how much of each i should put n thus went in the whole belacan cube - guess how d taste came out ? LOL ! if i ate it, i would lose all my hair.

one way i think to salvage this dish is to recook it again in batches, with more taucheong n tamarind juice. i'll try now.

wish me luck. =)

a kaleidoscope of everything

Earlier in the month, I was really eager to cook my tamarind-taucheong-belacan chillies that Amah always cooks for me.. cos.. god, i miss those SOOOOOOOO much !!!

bought my chillies and green pepper bell last week, bought my belacan earlier and bought the tamarind juice even earlier. and finally today, i got my prawns n taucheong. tried n tested d prawns, 1 word - SUCKS! i stir fried about 6 of it wif tang oh for dinner, n omg, the prawns were like, springy ? not like squid-springy but springy-springy! n the tau cheong was d rough kind wif beans in it ... so looks like i'll hafta do a lil extra work by mashing them all up!

n while i was googling 'tau cheong sauce', i came across a blogsite, that posts quite alot of really nice recipes n pictures of nyonya home cooked food. oh well, i would say its more of fusion than just nyonya alone. looks good, not sure how good it tastes. of course, amah's still definitely the best! haha! n while i was looking at those pics, AGAIN, i suddenly feel SOOOOOO homesick.... i'll just sit down n stare into space n go, "i wan go home, i wan go home" ....but then again, i really try not to let all this home things get to me, it happens sometimes, but i try really hard to push it to the back of my head, so i wont feel so miserable. so i called mum .. n we spoke for about 20 over minutes...n there was about 8 minutes left so i called Amah. oh i miss them both woman! sighx- even amah comforted me in the conversation when i told her how i wish i could go home cos she told me Ee Ee is going back to Pg this Dec from US..

about halloween, i didnt dress up as a geisha, neither as a mad scientist. Instead, i went as "JAMIE GOING TO BED" ..!! ##$%^&* lol !! serious! i wore, Grace's red pyjamas, the bedroom slipper ee ee bought as well as the beanie, and i wore also the "DO NOT DISTURB" eye mask! lolx.! the best part was, i tugged along my favourite baby pillow. ahhaha! too bad i dint tug along my throw towel, otherwise i'll really look like one of those kids going to sleep in peter pan. oh, n there was a HUGE poster sale on UCD. 1/2 price cuts n all . guess wat i bought? HAHA SUPERMAN poster! lolx! n 1 more small one wif some chinese writings on it which looks absoutely, stunningly COOL ! =D gonna blutack it on my wall soon, maybe later, maybe tmrw. kinda tired already.

speaking of which, i went to a maternity hosp for my hospital visit this morning, and omg, seriously, it was a darn good experience! they showed us a real, video of natural birth which of cos i've nvr seen b4, like totally zoomed into the vagina n stuff, from the healthcare professionals' point of view. including those local aneasthetic jabs, dilation, constriction, and OMG, the cutting of that skin, labia watever... with the scisoors! (the video was shot in 1970s) it was ... breathless. n today was actually THE FIRST TIME, i ever saw a 1 DAY old baby! whoa! they brought in 2 mothers who just delivered a day earlier. ... oh muchi muchi... d babies look so... peaceful ? lol ! i dunno any other better words, cos they were just sleeping away n twitched once in a while. n the HIGHLIGHT of the morning - the fresh placenta !!! hahaha. i was the first one to run down the lecture theatre, put on my gloves, WAITED PATIENTLY for the doc to finish explaining wheres wat, bla bla bla ... n YAHOO ~ i stuck my finger in it . LOLx~! it feels, soft, meaty, the cord feels .. like 'hun cheang' !

after that, went over to Charmings for chinese noodles. n scoot off to Cheshire Home in Dun Laoghaire. its darn far i tell u, n i dint quite hear the directions the ppl from the home gave me earlier, cos the reception wasnt too good on the cell, twice, n i told d bus driver ... OOHEFTOWN lodge .. thinking, where got such name in english but gave it the BOD cos irish spelling, maklumlah, super weird with super weird pronounciations. i reached the home, 45 minutes LATE. it was more than an hour bus ride ! n as it turns out to be, the name of the hotel is, ROCHESTOWN lodge !

oh anyway, Cheshire Home, is i think, a place where ppl with any sort of disabillity stays there to lead an independent life, with occasional assistance from those around. n i really really salute some of them there, who came from really difficult times, fought tooth n nail for survival when hope seems so bleak. like there was a woman, who loves marilyn monroe, had an accident or sumthing like that n is paralysed from neck bottom. she wasnt treated well at the hospital she was in n felt stipped off her dignity bcos she shared d hospital ward with some other 15 people, with just curtain railings separating them. n when she wanted to move into the home, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. sighx- and theres another young lady , if i'm not mistaken, she looks rather young, maybe 20 sumthing. she met with an accident when she was 11, on the way home from school where she was hit by a moving vehicle. n from then on, she has some kinda mental - speech retardation and she cannot control the coordination of her limbs at all. so she spoke to us via a machine where she types down n the machine reads it aloud. believe it or not, she joins the paralympics in a sporting event, lawn bowl if i'm not mistaken, cos i saw a photo frame of her in the Sydney 2000 paralympics and she did mention that she just came back from Beijing last week for a familiarisation camp.. however, the coordinator of the home told us that her condition is deteriorating as the years go by because she is rather reluctant when it comes to taking medication ..

oh, as i walked out the cheshire home today n looked at the skies above me, with the beautiful scenery of the harbour not far away, i suddenly realised that these people, are not to be sympathised. in fact, i found a renewed faith, a new found hope that if these people can fight tooth n nail for somethings so impossible and yet come out of it living so gleefully and grateful of dear life, why would i feel disappointed and sad over the slightest things? theres so much hope in this world. n really, they only pushed me harder to strive for the things most important in my life, to work harder, and to become a successful person as i was blessed to be..
