I am back but I miss my home

Recently I've not been online as I was back to my hometown and was busy with LAZYING and RESTING!! *giggles* That explains why I've been MIA from my blog and even facebook. Anyway, I'll be BIA (back in action). Now that I don't have to go for classes, I certainly am not used to my current lifestyle. I feel so restless and so much is going in my mind. Sometimes I feel I'm confused and probably that's part of adapting to my new and soon-to-be life (working life).

I'm worried about getting a job in the field I've completed. Every time as I look for any vacancy, i got more disappointed each time but I will not give up. Something has to work out. :) That's life! Nothing is easy and nothing always comes in our way. Rain or shine, we'll have to go through it. Before all that, I need to learn how to write my CV. My dad even got me a book on that. Thanks dad! *muacks*

Currently, I feel so much better. My friend is talking to me again! I really appreciate it. I would say, I really miss my friends back in Uni. I do have a lot to post but I misplaced my cables :( It's a wet day today and I'm feeling bored. I have nothing to do!!! Shopping needs money so I would rather stay at home. Besides that, my bowling has improved a lil' bit since my dad and bro advised me on certain skills and fitness I must possess. Can't wait to play again soon.

I miss my dad and my sis. Even my eldest sis in Saudi! How i wish we all could stay under 1 roof. The thought of them makes me sad. Hope to see all of them soon.

Tasty grilled fish

Usually, we'll have dinner out after my dad finishes his work. We'll have simple dinner nearby our home. There was this once when we decided on having fried noodles. We ended up in a restaurant named Tin Hiong Lau (in Inanam, near to Inanam Pharmacy). There's this stall that cooks 'Ikan Panggang', also known as grilled fish. Grilled fish in Malaysia are normally prepared by first seasoning/marinating the fish with spices/chillies/chilli paste etc. and then grilled on top of a banana leaf till it's cooked. My dad had grilled fish in this particular stall before and said it's delicious. So, we ordered a medium sized stingray slice. To my surprise, it's one of the most delicious Ikan Panggang I had before. Although visible red chillies are seen on top of the fish, it's not that spicy. It's slightly sweet and the fried onions gives the fish a bit more ummpph to the taste. However, it's slightly oily. Otherwise, it's definitely two thumbs up for this stall's fish!

Part of the grilled fish. Can't wait to try this fish out even before I remember to take a shot of it.

Served with lime and onions topping.

Chilli that taste would taste well with pan mee :p

Hello from BORNEO!

It's been quite a while since I post. Finally I get to come online as I was away for Kuching a few days. It has been a tiring journey, KL-KK(BKI)-Kuching-KK. Fortunately, the journey wasn't all that bad. Enjoyed the food in Kuching. The food was cheap and nice. Anyway, today, I would like to talk about one of my favourite food in KK.

It's none other than SEAFOOD but in porridge (or rather congee but locals mostly use porridge). This restaurant (I'll update on the name of the restaurant ASAP) cooks good congee. The texture is smooth and most importantly for me is, it doesn't taste too strong of ginger. Besides seafood, chicken, pork and beef are also available.

Claypot fish congee


Slices of fish


Claypot pork congee

The good thing about serving congees in claypot is that the congee remains hot in the claypot for a longer period of time compare to ordinary bowl which retain the heat and congee's texture and taste. The claypot congee ranges from Rm6.50-Rm10.00 per person. Besides congee, this restaurant does serve Yong Tau Fu, noodles and some common dishes I yet to try.

Overall, I prefer the fish congee. The slices of fish are fresh and given in a generous portion. I normally add in a little bit of Sabah chilli padi to enhance the taste. Hmm... I think crab congee would be nice and sweet. I'll give it a try someday. Ciao for now!

To my dearest!

It's 3 hours away before I need to wake up and prepare to go to the airport. :( Weird, I'm feeling a bit sad here. I'll miss my dear and of course my dear friends. :( I'll miss my pets too!

Dear, don't forget to call me often. Remember what you have promised! Must take good care of yourself and also, thank you so much for taking care of my pets while I'm away. Love you so much!! I'll miss you lots.
Going to sleep now. Love you always dear!

Lots of love,
<3 muacks <3

Land Below The Wind.. Here I come!

I've been very busy these few days. I've been busy packing my stuff back to my hometown. I've been busy preparing all the pets to be put at Dave's place. I've been busy transferring cars to Dave's place. I've been busy thinking of what I've missed packing and so on.

Tomorrow, at this hour, I should have arrived back home. I'll be seeing my dad and youngest sis. I miss them. However, leaving back home, I'll be missing my dear Dave here :(. I'll miss my friends here as well. Sonia, I'm sorry that I couldn't arrange a free time to bring you out as I'm stuck with errands.

This coming trip back home will be a bit different. Tomorrow, I'll touch down in the land below the wind. The day after tomorrow, I'll be in the land of meow~~ meow~~; Kuching!! I've never been there for quite some time. I'll update my trip from time to time. As for now, I must ciao~~

Soothing & Comforting voice!

I always love to hear the voices of Nigella Lawson and Neil Buchanan. Those who love to watch food channels and cookery programmes will know who Nigella Lawson is (e.g. Nigella bites, Nigella feasts & Nigella express). She has this special ways of cooking food and in my opinion, her food are very sweet; which means high in calories. However, I'm more attracted to the way she speaks. Similarly, Neil Buchanan has a way of speaking which I'm also attracted to. Neil Buchanan is the creator and presenter of Art Attack (in Nickelodeon channel/Astro). He guides his viewer step-by-step on his work of art.

I am not sure about anyone out there who has the same feeling I have for voices. I know my siblings doesn't. Whenever Nigella/Neil speaks, I have this tingling and ticklish sensation inside my ear which gives me a very soothing and yet comforting feeling. This can really make me sleep. When I was younger, my sister would always turn the channel to Art Attack as if to hypnotize me and would slowly take over the remote control. :) Currently, I'm quite addicted to the cookery programme. I always watch Nigella (Astro: channel 707) as well as Chef At Home (Astro: channel 703/AFC). Besides gaining knowledge on food preparation, I have this relaxing therapies *lol*.

Here's a clip of Nigella preparing crepes suzette:


Nigella is not only beautiful but she has this mesmerizing set of eyes and voice of course. She cooks food that are easy to prepare. Most of all, the method she presents are not too difficult to understand and not too time consuming as well.

Finally... My burden is lifted!

I was resting while I received a SMS. Feeling dizzy I walked slowly towards my handphone which was charging in my room (I was in my living room). Then, I check to see who has texted me. Instead, I saw a weird number. I scrolled down and realised the SMS is from my uni. Hahaha, to my surprise, my results were out and all are well!!! At least, good enough to graduate.

Yeah! I can say that I'm officially graduating!! So happy. I feel so light, now that my burden has been lifted. However, that's not the only burden I have. Still have more to face in the future. I hope that all will pass the exams with flying colours and especially to my dear friends. :)

I'm so tired, I want to rest a while before eating my newly bought instant noodles which I've been searching for quite some time. Will post up on that after my rest! Ciao buddies!
