Marvelous lunch and new guppies!

There's this place at Jusco that has been opened for quite some time called Kahve. The food there is not bad and the pricing is not too expensive too. Mom and I went there for lunch and we ordered a set meal each consists of a pure honey lemon drink, soup and chicken with BBQ sauce (RM11.30++).


Feel like drinking it again after looking at this picture.


Soup


The platter

A few days ago, another fish died (as I have mentioned earlier) and this was how the dead body looked like. Please be prepared to not feel grossed out.


The pirate fish


Today mom bought more guppies to join the other six. There are 15 of them now in the tank.


See how happy they all are swimming and swimming all day long.

Lunch at Sushi King

I have never really had a proper lunch at Sushi King and today was the first time I did. Met up with Wai Leng, Yim Leng and Su Ping for lunch after class and we had a great afternoon chatting and even made jokes about one man that we saw across the restaurant who kept scratching his face and hair. It was so disgusting.

Let's now take a look at the food that I ordered.


Black Pepper Dory Fish with Vege + Miso Soup + Steamed egg + Rice + Yakult (RM14.90)


A closer look

RM14.90 is a little expensive for a regular lunch but oh well, it's once in a while. I don't usually indulge so much for my meals. I think the set is worth it because it's tasty.

Two of my fishes died and now I only have the guppies left. I guess the small container is cursed. Whatever I rear in that container will surely die. I don't know why.

Next week is my mid-semester break! If only I have any plans to go anywhere. I guess I shall just stay home and continue my cross-stitching.

Post Starwalk

While still in recuperation from the cramps that I got from Starwalk, I shall update about the 10km-walk. I feel a sense of accomplishment after the walk. All glory to the Lord for the strength and perseverance to finish it.


This was taken at 6.39 am. Look at the number of people in the stadium! This is only a small percentage of all the participants.


Was bored waiting so snapped the morning sky. It's pretty purple!


Walking towards the Starting Point. So excited.

As I was walking on the road with others, I looked at the road and noticed there were droplets of water everywhere. Not rain. It's sweat. Everyone was really working hard to get a cert.

The best thing after reaching the finishing line was to queue up for refreshing drinks! How often do you get free 100+? No, you only get them for free during Starwalk. I joined Starwalk for the shirt, goodies and free drinks. Just kidding. The walk is part of what I wanted to do too.

Everyone in Ipoh should join Starwalk every year!! Give your legs a chance to endure from the constant walking for 100 minutes! =)

Starwalk 2010

Went to collect Starwalk goodies yesterday and I didn't expect the mere few minutes gives me the chance to appear in one of the photos.


The article


The aunty next to me is very lucky too to be featured in the papers

This year we got stuffs such as Salonpas, some muscle gels, olive oil samples, lolipops, facial wash and the annual shirt.


Gonna find my Vitamin C now. I think I misplaced it.

Bon voyage, my friend! ♥

God blesses me with sweets occasionally. Thank you, Lord for the tasty cupcakes! And also thank you to the inventor of the lovely marshmallow cupcakes, Miss Nurainie.


Formally known as:
Chocolate cake with Marshmallow Bits topped with Cream Cheese and Grated Parmesan

It's Parmesan! No wonder they taste so good. Good cheese. Hehe...

It's the ninth day and my fishes are still alive. Alfread, your curses are not going to work. He said they will only be alive for nine and a half days after I wrote that I hope they will live for at least ten days.

Mom has got herself some new Cichlids and I hope they treat one another well. No more fightings or chasing around that will kill anyone of themselves. Then mom will not have to buy more. Help her save money, you Cichlids! Being yellow doesn't mean you can bully one another. You are all the same colour.

Okay, I am crazy to talk to the fish located so many miles from here. Heh! Assignment due is next week and the printing has to start one of these days. Probably tomorrow. I don't want to be a procrastinator anymore. I WILL print them out tomorrow.

Jo's off to UK on Friday (it's tomorrow!) and oh, how I will miss her. You see, although I don't see her around much when she is in Malaysia, the fact that I know she is somewhere in this country makes me don't miss her as much. And I get to talk to her rather easily via sms and on MSN. Living in the same time zone is so safe. It's never too late or too early to wish her good night or good morning.

So right now, (hope you are still reading, Jo) I want to wish you journey mercy to the foreign but good land and remember to take good care of yourself. Keep yourself warm (when the weather is cool) and cool (when the weather is warm). May the good Lord bless you abundantly with good health and keep you safe from drunkards (I heard from Ei Leen they have a lot of drunk people on the streets at night) and also guide you in everything you do. Remember to keep His Word close to your heart. See you again when you return! Tata!

P.S. Angela's Ashes is a gem. Totally love the work of Frank McCourt.

6 males in a tank

It's the last day of May. 2010 is almost halfway through it's journey to 2011.

And it's also the sleepiest day of my life. The weather's sweet and motivates me to continue sleeping like nobody's business.

I just found out (pretty much sure with a confidence of 95%) that all my guppies are males. There goes my hope to breed them and get more guppies. I would really like to see the birthing process. Sad. If I were to buy more guppies, I need more than 6 females. My tank is too small for 12 guppies.

I hope they can last more than ten days. Or even more. Today is the fifth day I have had them. Please, please, please LIVE. DON'T DIE.

A little of KL and mostly Ipoh

Before the photos start to mould and get stinky, here's the post with a little bit of KL and mostly in Ipoh.

I met with my favourite round bed once again as the display of Getha.


They have changed the bedding. Funky orange. Me likey! Looks like my Corby. Hehe...

I realised I snapped the same picture 2 years ago on Christmas Eve.

This bedding comes with soft toys. Why no soft toys for the recent picture? The bed has gotten older and does not like soft toys anymore. :(

A lamb wearing goggles. Cute!

Saw this Car Odour Eliminator in one of the hardware shops. Poor Golden Retriever has become the bad guy here. Do dogs really smell that badly? I don't think so lor.... Should have put cat poop instead. I can't imagine the picture of the poop displayed on the label. Wahahaha!!!

Went to the night market on Tuesday after claypot dinner at K-10. Sorry, Ju Dee. The weather curse didn't work. It was still very hot till midnight. Sigh.

Poodles for sale too? This is Lui Lui. She is a kung fu dog because she can sit on the fishes without bursting their plastics. Got qi gong one leh... Seriously no joke.

Lui Lui's soul mate. Very handsome dog.

The mood to rear fish is back again 10 days ago.

Ten days later... The fish died.

There goes my Ikan Bilis. Sob sob!!

Headed to a pet shop on Wednesday to get some fishes. The first shop did not have durable fishes. When I say durable, I mean fishes that are easy to maintain without the need for air pump or bubbles.

Rainbow bird. Don't know the real name. Saw this in the first shop I went to.

She/He has got blue butt. Hahaha!!

Found my durable fishes in the second shop.

Guppies! They keep swimming and swimming all day. I think they are like goldfish which has only 3-second memory. So that's why they swim a lot. Anywhere is a new adventure at all times.

Another 2 fishes for the smaller container. One of them is a pirate which only has one eye. If you look closely in the picture, the fish at the back has its eye missing. Mystery. I have no idea how it got lost.

Watching The Mentalist Season 1 Episode 3 now!

Before I face Inevitable 3 for the final time

I wanted to blog about my KL trip (only a little of it coz I don't remember the details anymore) but I am too lazy to upload the photos ONE BY ONE like I usually do for other posts as I have no cable for Corby. No money to buy la. Poor me. So settle with words alone, okay?

Still stuck with Inevitable 3. Gonna finish hopefully by tonight. I know I have to write that down here so that I have no reason to slack off. Promises made must be kept. You must be thinking I am a fool making promises to my blog when it wouldn't be able to tell if I am lying or not.

Have started watching The Mentalist yesterday. Wow, it was good! I need to get myself updated with these television shows.

Interesting day at college today. Ju Dee is a contact lens celebrity now who teaches people the proper way to put them on. Watch it now!

In the midst of handling the Inevitable

Just going to update some photos snapped at Kem Sentosa, Chenderiang (16 May) after completing 2 assignments. See, I am updating. This blog ain't dead.=D


On the hill. With Melanie and the deformed Christmas tree.


Melanie posing with the tree. I told her to tell people this picture is snapped in Cameron.


Look into the future. What do you see?

Before leaving the place, we saw 2 geese over the other side of the fence. Looks fierce and they can really 'bark'.


So fat and no doubt they will make a delicious platter on the table.


Closer view.

P.S. The Lord told me to be patient. I shall persevere more.

Inevitable

The inevitable has come. Skimmed through everything and why does everything seem so tough? As I looked deeper, I realised I have an idea to counter it. I hope it will work.

Juggling my time between working on my project at home and the new found Inevitable. I do know now that they recycle questions.

Thank God for perseverance. I will persevere with the strength from the Lord.

Mini Barbecue Party

I shall blog about the mini barbecue we had on Monday and let me present you raspberries!

To me, they look like a cross-breed of strawberries and cherries. Very sour. I've always thought that raspberries are sweet.


The finished product! Raspberry cupcakes! There's raspberry jam hidden in the cupcakes as well.

Apple mint chocolate cupcakes with cream and cinnamon topping. I love this very much.

I was there quite early and so Qarina and I had a lot of time doing some activities together. How I reminisce my childhood. It felt good to feel like a child again.

Qarina at work as a cartoonist. That's her ambition. See how diligently she drew the character from the guide book.

And I am in charge in colouring since she said she hated colouring and I hated drawing so we make a perfect pair! The character in green shirt is NOT my work. I painted the other one with only the face coloured. Forgot to snap the finished work. Sigh.

Then everyone finally arrived and the first duty we had was to set the barbecue pit.

It took four of us to set it up properly. Haha!!!

Finally done!!

And we hired a satay girl to start the fire for us. She loves starting fire.

Boonmo fanning like mad.

Marshmallow-roasting. Remember, you must always pose like this when roasting marshmallows.

Eat eat eat and pose for the camera!

Signature picture for every occasion of Ju Dee and me with Kickapoo in hand.

Peace!

Bih Tong doing the "Aye, aye, Captain!"

The girls with Nick as the photographer.

All in all, it was definitely a night to remember with so many shocking stories revealed that were too good to be true and made excellent choices for blockbusters. Roaches were killed in the process while Beauty (the rabbit) continued her duty chomping through the grass.

P.S. It has suddenly gotten very dark and I can't see my keyboard while typing this. Rain, please come.

Crystle loves milk!

The other day, I had Koko Crunch for breakfast and some milk. Even Crystle had her share of milk.


See her tongue sticking out licking the delicious milk from fridge.


Another shot of her. She's still a baby that loves milk very much.

This is for Sarah.


Pretty roses for Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day!

The most wonderful celebration for the most wonderful being everyone loves.



... to all mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers and the list goes on. Practically to every mother in the world.

A very special wish to mom. Hope you enjoy this day. Wish you were here every single year today.

Movie marathon at home

The timetable for the next semester is out. I wonder what kind of schedule I will be having for these three months. Sigh. I need more days for break. I have been watching movies online (thanks to Pui Yee for the sharing the website via Facebook!) such as Alice in Wonderland (1999), Obsessed (2009) and Hachiko: A Dog's Story (2009).


A random picture of Tweedledee in Alice in Wonderland (1999). Looks more or less the same as the 2010 version. The most obvious difference is, the Tweedles are tall in the older version.

What next? Probably The Final Destination (2009). I know I am outdated. Hehe!

Baby rat in Aberdeen!

Happy Labour Day, everyone! It's a not a belated although it's after 12am now and tomorrow, I mean today is Sunday is Sabbath Day so everyone should continue have a rest day praising God in church!

Went to Aberdeen for a cuppa on Labour Day with Eunice, Deric and Sue Jane. These are what we had.


All different colours!

One shocking incident happened there when Sue Jane felt something crawling on her feet and it was a baby rat! I took time to decipher what that creature was because firstly, I have never seen a baby rat before (not a still blind one at least!), and secondly, I didn't expect such supposedly clean place to have rats. Feeling absolutely disgusted by it. Yuck!

Here's a video of Cyril performing magic in Japan. You don't have to understand the language to be amazed. Check it out!


Now, is that believable or what?
