M’sia…desert?

Seems like Malaysia’s turning into a Sahara Desert…Just what is wrong with the weather! Even Cameron Highland is not as cold as it used to be. And at this perfect moment the air-conditioner in the living room refuse to function at all! Wondering if this will be permanent..or at least not the air-con!

Liyen goes French

Woohoo…Sunday dinner was edible…and no civilians were found food poisoned! haha…

There weren’t many chances that I would actually deal with meat…I find it so yucky having to clean the bloody piece of meat. But tell me what to do when I am so in love with this carnivorous meat-eater! Since mum was not in a healthy state to cook, i sorta stole the opportunity to own the kitchen for a bit. =P my main dish was a traditional French dish, Cog Au Vin (chicken cooked in wine):

Cog Au Vin

I wouldn’t say it tasted amazing but no doubt it was not too bad, or at least it was edible and the plate’s empty at the end of the day! it’s something very different that we would never have anything like that at home since mum n dad didn’t quite like to change their taste palette. Well, at least, Ricky liked it! =P

The main was complemented with some other sides; a plain creamy mashed potato, a fresh green salad with lime-honey dressing and fried spaghetti.

Clockwise from top left: Salad, Mashed Potato, Cog Au Vin, Fried Spaghetti

Thank you so much for my food tasters of the day: Ricky, Mum & Dad (although they didn’t quite like the taste of red wine but they DID tried a little *grin*), my lil’ bro, Aunty Fun and lil’ cousin Ivan. *phew*…loads more practices needed!

fingers crossed!

At the moment, just wanted to cross my finger hoping things will turn out okay for sunday’s dinner…specially prepared by chef liyen…yeah that’s me…=P

More crap

Aih…seems like my “deep tots” got me into deep s**t again. I just said things that I shouldn’t have said and I know once words are said it will never ever be able to reset that! I wished I could be a little more reserve in words. There is also one thing I learnt about myself…I didn’t know I was such an energy-drainer. Sad to say but it did seems to be…maybe it’s time for me to think who this ‘me’ really is. Just since when I turned into this perfectly pesimist. Guess I was a little too stressed up these days simply finding excuses for self denial. Maybe I need some sweet stuff to switch on the happy me again. Care to offer something sweet anyone? haha….ya…crap~~~

Crap

Haven’t cried this bad for quite a long time…well, it’s almost shameful to admit that I was a cry baby and I still am now! I gave in to my think-too-much syndrom and let it took over my mind again. There were times I really thought telling ‘it’ to shut up works but it didn’t. It was simply outta my control.  Wonder if I could just get tired of this. Just wished my brain could be a little ‘ding dong’. I thought all along I just didn’t want things to get sour but now I know that doesn’t help either. Don’t you people worry, a great sob and plenty of tears were all I needed. I am well and much relieved now. Time to get some time-off and make some deep-tots.

Love HIM!

Last weekend when Ricky and me were on our way back to Ipoh from Uni we saw this car with a sticker saying “I am not religious, I just love JESUS”…cool huh and very true indeed. There’s certainly nothing to be superstitious or whatsoever. Just love HIM!

p/s: I WANT that sticker too!!! T_T

Earth Hour 28 March 09

Earth Hour was held meaningfully with an hour of quality time spent with family members. Mum was being very supportive, preparing small bites for that one hour of darkness. Dad did being supportive but acted like as if there were thousands of ants underneath his skin as he wanted to continue his series marathon on the Astro channel. Was quite hilarious! =P. We had trifle (with too much liquor and ended up mostly in the waste bin) and fruits and some other small bites. That was not only an hour of awareness but also an hour of sweet family moment!
