Jantan and Betina

 

Today my colleague brought her PRA students to my lab to watch Chipmunks.

After the movie, she asked the students a few question to make sure that they’re really watching it.

“Chipmunks tu ada berapa?”

“Tigaaaaaaaaaaaa”

“Chipmunks tu lelaki kah perempuan?”

“Lelakiiiiiiiiii”

“Patut nya Jantan. Lelaki dan perempuan untuk orang saja… Jantan dan Betina untuk…?”

“CHIPMUNKSSSSSSSS”

“ o.o Okay…. Betul juga.. Jantan dan Betina untuk binatang, bukan saja Chipmunks”

 

Hahhahahaa. I was laughing when the kids answered Chipmunks instead of animals.

Kiasi


I was reading “Kiasu Krossover 3”, and towards the end… I came across this interesting conversation…

P1110495

Synopsis:  A pitbull from the future comes back to the past and commits murder. The reason, as above.

This comic was published in the year 1996 and it’s 2010 now. Well, we still have the sun and air, despite of the severe weather events. But really… how long more can we have clean water to drink, fresh clean air to breathe and live peacefully without the attack of already-not-so natural disasters?

You know what irks me the most?

Those selfish people who couldn’t care less about the environment and yet de-motivates or put others down when they decide to “Go Green”.

There’s two air-conditioners (right next to each other) blowing cool air right on top of me and I simply hate it. I always off one of them if I’m around in the staffroom and others will just scoffed at my action because “you’re not the one paying for it, why should you care?”

And when I answered them “Go Green! Think of our planet”, they’ll showed me their waving hands, taunting me and walked away.

It’s like… Going Green is nothing but a joke to some people.

Arghhhhh!!!!

It’s a shame when other people are doing so much to amend humans’ fault and yet there are people continuing to litter, wasting valuable resources like water and electricity and worse, wasting food. There, Ramadhan is coming and yet another month of endless sungkai buffets. I remembered once I voiced out that we should take the amount we can eat and if not enough, we can just go for another round, and not waste food due to greediness. This particular “smart” person answered me, “So, what, you going to deliver all these food to those hungry people in Africa?”

Hey dude, in some cases… IGNORANCE IS NOT A BLISS OKAY!

Here, 10 ways to Go Green and Save Green.

If you don’t even care about it, then at least…. don’t go laugh at those who does. Because, they’ll be the one saving your sorry butt in the future when you regret for not conserving water, electricity and so on with your children or grandchildren living in sorry condition with no TLC from our mother nature asking why didn’t “your” generation do something when we could still save our planet.

Toe socks

 

This….

P1110483

was what my mom wore this morning to the picnic.

I was shocked when I saw her unique “fashion sense” and asked why? Why slippers and toe socks? Well.. in matching colour some more oh my Buddha.

Her explanation?

“I painted my toe nails (in purple btw) and I don’t want others to tease me”

So…. for her, purple toenails are more embarrassing than toe socks with slippers.

Great.

My weekend that went wrong, but.. luckily with the right guy

 

Since Bobby and I were craving for crabs, and having a long weekend, we decided to go Miri to kill our craving!

Photos with captions for the rest of the post.

01
Breakfast before setting off at Mien-tang.
And that’s my lao-pan~

02
Kolomee.
B$5, enough to pay breakfast for 2 in Seria.

Kolomee $1.80 x 2 = $3.60
Teh C + Milo Panas + a small bowl of ice = $1.30

Total: B$ 4.90!


Eat full full, ready to go

03 04
Love my USD1 passport cover bought in Ho Chi Minh.


First stop, Bintang Plaza.
Because Bobby said he will not want to go there on Saturday because of the crowd.

05
Bought Hot & Roll since Bob the Bi never tried it before.

06
I don’t know.. chicken and cheese flavour?

07
My lao-pan, with an ink ring I drew on him.
Diamond ring can. Hahahhahaahaa. Don’t play play.

08

09
The shop we’ll never miss when we’re in Miri.. but always come out empty-handed though.

10
I accidentally dropped the wrapper of the Hot & Roll paratha and Bobby asked me to pick me up. I need to say this because I’m not a litterbug and never will be *fingers-crossed* and I smiled and looked at Bobby… asking him why it’s important to pick it up, he answered with a sheepish smile and shifty eyes *as above*

“.. cos…. this is my country?”

Wah seh… since when my baby, a person who can’t even sing his own country’s national anthem care so much one?

Next, lunch.

11

At Mr. Ho’s Fine Food.

12
One of the signature dish I think.. Prawn something something?
RM20+

13
My Roast Pork with Apple sauce, RM16.90

Seriously pork overdosed. I actually made an effort to leave out the fats before munching in.

14
My lao-pan, price unavailable.
But if by kilo.. should be very very very pricey lah.


Next, checked in.

15

Gosh, don’t be fooled by our smiles. The room stink!

You know.. those wet towel smell that was left ignored for days… it’s that kind of smell. Like.. bad air ventilation or I don’t know what. 4 stars rating my foot.

16

We left the window opened and went down for a swim. An hour later, the smell was still there and so ngam there was a house keeper next few doors down so Bobby asked if she can help to solve the problem. She came in with a spray bottle with soap water and sprayed everywhere. It helped a little.. but, just a little.

And while I was half way showering, off went the power current for about 5 minutes. Seriously… –_-“

I guess we just got immune with the smell and didn’t bother about it anymore.

Watched “How to train your dragon”, like finally!
Unfortunately, there was no DVD player in the room and we had to watch it using my laptop and the volume was so soft. We had to share the ear piece just to hear the movie. Kasian max.

Then next… Dinner.

I asked FussyKelly where’s good for crab and she told me Luak Bay. But.. it was raining heavily and Bobby can’t really see at night, hence we opted for a nearby restaurant. Sigh. Huge mistake.

17
I hate it.

The sea cucumber soup was overly sour and salty.
The kangkung is super oily.
The crabs…. sigh… I can go cry now.

Because of the super dissatisfying dinner, I told Bobby I need ice cream to cheer up and so we drove to town area and hunt for ice cream.

18
My Strawberry cheesecake Cornetto.. which tasted so sweet and artificial for my liking. =(

Sad…

Oh, my leggings cool kan?

19
Made some tea and watched “The Proposal” when it was raining cats and dogs outside. Bliss.



Next day..

On the TV and saw this uber cute cartoon!
It’s called “Bunny Maloney”. Very cute and funny max.

20
Just read the subtitles…

Selamat datang semua.
Saya Roco Rizoli.

21
Jom, bercakap dengan tetamu pertama kita.

22
Roco, teman lelaki saya cakap dia mengandung.

HAHAHHAHHAHHAHHAHA!!!!

23
Our breakfast… because we’re too lazy to drive out to eat.

24
Abrupt end, our lunch.                        

Like I said in the title, it was a trip that didn’t go smoothly but luckily… I was with my guy… someone so patient that makes me look like an evil person sometimes.

<3

KTM Thai Seafood Restaurant


Short Note :
The owner of this blog is still alive, just procrastinating. This is a way way way delayed post and I seriously need to get back in to my “blogging shape”. Enjoy.


Thanis of http://cookiemonzters.blogspot.com/ invited me to a food testing session in KTM Thai Seafood Restaurant last month and boy oh boy, I have to say I was not disappointed, AT ALL!

P1100882

Confession – I’d not been to KTM until that day and I was looking forward for it since Bobby lunched there frequently and he said it’s not bad.

Walking in to the restaurant, there’s no fancy decorations nor OTT renovations. It’s just sweet and simple with lots of families dining in. I love the atmosphere, very casual unlike some restaurants that made me sit tight to the chair and dare not to move too much to attract attentions or me wanting to kill myself when I drop the spoon. You get the picture?

P1100870
The new revamp menu

P1100871
Look how thick it is! Love hardcover menu!
Now now, give credits to restaurants that are willing to invest in their menus.

P1100872
The drink menu

P1100873
Longan Tofu, a must for first-timer in KTM.

P1100875
Deep fried kangkong! Or.. is it Crispy kangkong?

Nope, not oily at all. I never knew you can actually deep fry kangkong to this extend. For those who are not into vegetables, order this and you will not resist it after the first bite.. instead, you’ll start popping more into your mouth.

P1100876
Salt and Pepper Squid. Yums!

I love sotong I love sotong I love sotong I love sotong and I can go on and on raving about this!

P1100877
Pandan Chicken, a must in Thai restaurant isn’t it?

P1100878
Stuffed Chicken Wings

P1100886
As you can see… stuffed to the max!
Best served with Thai Sweet Chili Sauce.

 

P1100881
Braised Tofu with mushroom and I-dunno-what-vegetable-is-that.
(Told you I’m bad in naming green leafy veggies)

P1100884
Old time favorite.. NESTUM PRAWN!
On nom nom nom nom nom!

P1100885
Clear tom yam soup.
I was blown away when I took the first sip! It was so strong and powerful!
Best, not oily at all!!

P1100887
Salted egg soft shell crab!

*slurps*

P1100888
Crab fried rice.

Fried rice is the last thing I’ll order in a restaurant because the chances of getting a really nicely done one is slim. Especially those served in wedding banquet.. urghhhh, hate those!

But this one, I finished a bowl despite the fact that my belly was cracking about to burst! Even Maurina commented that it’s really good because got “wok-hei”. Yes, she knows what “wok-hei” is!

P1100893
Otak-otak, cake made out of fish meat.


Vegetarian mock abalone.

It’s actually wheat gluten, or 面筋 in Chinese. I can’t believe the chef made this out from scratch by mixing wheat flour, water and I cant remember what else. All I remember was, when the chef told me the process… my eyes got bigger because I never thought it’s that tedious.

(I was thinking if I can make it for my mom since she’s a vegetarian)


Mango Fish!
Uh la la~    

P1100883
With Mau, www.maurina.wordpress.com.

It was a wonderful dinner with great companions and good food. 
Huge thanks to Thanis for the invitation.

A little fun in life

 

I’ve been whining that I need a little excitement to whoever darlings I’d met. I have no idea why I’ve been so emo and frustrated out of nothing…

Here’s a short video…

It’s true… the easiest way to change people’s behavior for the better is by making it fun to do so.

And that’s why I put on my track suit (not exactly a proper one..) and drove to OGDC, parked my car and went for a random walk. It made me feel alive in some way. Just when I was about to reach the monument.. the music player of my humble E63 played  纵贯线’s 亡命之徒…

It’s one of my favorite, especially the verse sang by Wakin.

为什么 该有的都有还是觉得不够 天呀 该不会是贪心的念头

为什么 拼了命地工作 拼了命地追梦 到头来原地没有动过

为什么 万里晴空下的面孔 庸庸碌碌不开心地锁着眉头 要向谁哭诉

为什么 想去看场电影 该死的台风偏偏选在每一个的周末

为什么 这个世界上 就是有人穷得发疯 有人富有 把钞票当作了枕头

为什么 新闻里鼻酸故事 只为了偷面包给妈妈 充饥的小偷

为什么 一百个为什么 变成一千个 一万个 十万个 为什么

为什么 我想破头写不出个鸟 念念念 我为了什么
