Old Stuff

Earlier today in office, me and my officemates were talking about things that we used when we were young. Which I think most of the kids nowadays may not have the chance to know what is it. Don't have the pictures because the item now is in Penang, so I goggled and manage to have the pictures.


Amazing how time flies really fast, I was so young when I saw an  old iron in my mum's cabinet of her precious collection. 

The sweetest memory when I stayed with my late grandmother during school break, we made homemade "mee kuning" using this :

During weekends, I would stays in my Mak Lang's house and she would cook delicious meal, I love to see her use these which I of course was not allowed to use it; to avoid injury.

Old times, how I missed them so much. :)

Memasak

Ingat senang ke memasak ni? It is easy for those who used to do the cooking in their kitchen. But for me? I grew up in a environment of my breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, supper are ready cooked dish, all bought by my mum. She's a hardworking mum, don't really have time to cook. She;s a very good cook, its proves when she cook for us during weekends, dish cooked by a loving mum, yummy! But her daughters all to lazy to help her on that. So I don't COOK. Now since I am now living in my own house, so sometimes I miss homecooked meal, which makes me feel like learning to cook. And I'm facing several problem while learning.

The Preparation : I'm a linear person, everything in my life has to be in order, systematic. While preparing all the needed ingredients, it may took me hours because I would be really particular on the hygiene while washing; the size of the cut ingredients must be the same; everything MUST BE THE WAY I WANT THEM TO BE.

Lighting the Stove and Facing the Hot Oil : Just trying to get the stove light up could cause me screaming as if something gonna blow up. Once I got the stove up, the pan, heat the oil, and its now time for the next step. Aku paling takut kalau minyak masak yang sedang panas splashes towards my face. So I'll do the best to avoid myself from hurting.

Adding the "Garam Secukup Rasa" : F!. Aku dari dulu ada masalah deria rasa, its either going to be tasteless or its going to be too salty (lori garam tumpah dalam kuali). Hadoii.. I'm hopeless.

The Result : The dish gonna be either burnt or looks totally fine but does not taste like a food. 

But I am not gonna give up. I'll keep on learning, trying until I succeed! Next dish, beef burger!

Someone to talk to

Sometimes I at the point where I have no one to talk to, to consult to, to hang on to. I'm not alone, I've got a boyfriend, I've got friends, I've got family. But I don't have anyone to talk  to about my problem, my secrets, everything. 

Easier said than done, "just make boyfriend as your best friend". How many of you actually told your boyfriend EVERYTHING??. Do you dare to tell them last night you had a dream about your ex-boyfriend and suddenly you feel that you wanna call her. How can you tell that to your boyfriend without making her freak out? HOW? 

If I got any problem that I'm facing with my boyfriend, I am not gonna tell the problem to any of my friend, i need someone that I can really trust. That would listen to my problem without making any judgement.

My family? They are superb, I love them so much, and they  dear me so much. But I can't tell them the fact about who am I, what kind of lifestyle I'm having "behind the scene". I am fake in front of them, but my love to them, its true.

I really need someone to talk to..NOW.

Me and list of food

Something about we, Malaysians; always talk, think and unable to resist the tempting delicious food. Tengah makan breakfast dah fikir what shall they have for lunch or even dinner. No matter malay, indian or chinese cuisine, every taste buds of single individual have different preferences, and some don't mind travel for their favourite dish. And of course, no one can beat the taste of dish prepared by mum! The taste of  LOVE.

Me myself, won't say no if anyone invite me to try something new in any restaurant or stall. The fun of travelling and the joy of trying something u never had before, plus the excitement if that dish is extremely superb! One of the reason why I love food so much is maybe because I'm from Penang, and my mum appreciate delicacies of cuisine too, and it is not easy to find dish similar to Penang's here in KL. 

List of my favourite food? Just by naming it,it could take me whole night. Hot and spicy, cold, soups, dry fried, meat, seafood, vege; I would never say no....wait, I do have list of food which I will not try to consume : Tapai, and Siput Sedut...euww.. As for my top favourite dish list : Tomyam Putih, any dishes of Crab; wait2, double Chicken Burger is my top favourite too, same goes with roasted meat. Gosh~going with the listings, everything is so mouth watering. I'd better go now. Enjoy your meal :)

Broken Hearted

Last night I had dinner wit my lovely ex-boss, Fiz. She was a very dear boss, and know a very good friend of mine. The last time we met, it was back in Sept 2011 if I'm not mistaken, and the last picture we took together was end year of  2010. Rambut pun panjang lagi masa tu. Gosh I miss the environment of me and her working together,and how she always treat me for lunch (jimat duit..hahaha). 

Back to the dinner last night. We shared lot of stories. She's having personal problem, which the stress really shows through her expression. Listening to her stories,she make me feel the pain of loosing someone that u cared so much. 

Recently aku rasa rindu pada orang-orang yang pernah ada dalam hidup aku, of course tak semua relationship gonna end with happy ending and resulted we no longer contact each other. And aku teringat pun bukan sebab sayang lagi, cuma they used to be the person that make me feel the happiness and the pain.

There is someone that I really felt the pain of loosing her. Me and her was not in a serious relationship, but the pain was something that I would never wanna experience again. I hate the pain of broken  heart.

Rasa macam gloomy je hati ni...

Changes

I have just deleted my MySpace. I can't even remember when was the last time I actually logged to that page. Used to be known as the sweet smiling Ily Blueberry in MySpace,  and now somehow that sweet girl don't really exist anymore. 

I'm no longer a quiet, shy person I used to be. Experience in F&B actually makes me a very talkative person. And know I am paid to talk. So I talk a lot now. Sometimes the words that I have said may hurt people's feelings.


I have as well discovered a very new hobby : Travel for Food :)

So I have changed a lot, but my feelings,my love towards my precious sayang always stays with me. 

People change a lot, according and adapting their environment. I did.. Did u?

Nak balik awal boleh???

Today, aku bangun agak awal dari biasa, 1petang...(1pm tu kategori bangun awal kah?). Sebab aku kena masuk keje awal sikit. Shift closing selalunya pukul 5petang, tapi disebabkan manager pagi nak balik awal, so aku sebagai manager malam kena masuk awal.  Aku tak kisah sebab aku pun pernah buat macam tu. 

Call closing manager, and then cakap "I kena balik awal lah,*****".

atau pun call opening manager : "I masuk lambat sikit tau, *****".

Star banyak2 tu kononnya alasan balik awal. Alasan ni boleh jadi macam2. Contoh :

1) Ada BBQ parti ka rumah nenek.

2) Kena tolong pakcik buka gerai pasar malam.

3) Kena pegi jumpa dentist.

4) Pickup nephew kat kindergarten.

5) Petang ni I naik bas balik Penang.

6) Sebab I nak bali awal lah~

So, alasan sentiasa ada. Bak kata orang dulu2, nak seribu daya, tak nak seribu dalih. Whatever alasan yang aku bagi, of course la make sense, menipu pun kena pandai jugak. Tapi......jangan selalu=)
