duiii..

it is really THAT warm to make me drew something that random. i'm not in anyway pro-hip-hop either, anyways! cool anot?
lol i know my drawing lacks skills, but its at least something i feel for right now.
"choi, stop global warming!"


damn. it really is. SO WARM!

*grunts*

choi, stop global warming.

so i was chatting with seth about the sichuan report, which i came about in jingwen's blog (linked through henneylooyee's blog)
specifically on this report, which i felt the deepest consolation for him and his family.

8）小学老师张米亚老师：遇难前用双臂护住两名幸存孩子
当汶川县映秀镇的群众徒手搬开垮塌的镇小学教学楼的一角时，被眼前的一幕惊呆了：一名男子跪仆在废墟上，双臂紧紧搂着两个孩子，像一只展翅欲飞的雄鹰。两个孩子还活着，而“雄鹰”已经气绝！由于紧抱孩子的手臂已经僵硬，救援人员只得含泪将之锯掉才把孩子救出。这名男子是该校29岁的老师张米亚。“摘下我的翅膀，送给你飞翔。”多才多艺、最爱唱歌的张米亚用生命诠释了这句歌词。张老师的妻子和不满3岁的儿子也被垮塌的房屋深埋……

and then seth said its sadder for them who saw their limbs off to save others.
and then i asked what would really happen if global warming continues?
and he thought the earth might blow up. hahaha.
and i said that we're all gonna drown. logic right?
with the melting of our north and south points, plus its so warm that the earth will shatter (earthquake) which will then leads to tsunami. so wherever you are, highlands, lowlands, we're all gonna be buried alive because we deserve it.

its about time you do your part.
i'm already living OFF air conditioner, i swear i do not even on my air-con on freaking warm days (which really sien-d me out), but i still on my desktop 24/7.. not that wise am i?
hahaha, anyways feedbacks!!! on what you're doing to save the environment.
if you can do it, i'd try my best to accomplish it too ;)

Malaysia's NEXT TOP MODEL!

and forget malaysia's dreamgirl, whoever she is. sorry for my ignorance,
BUT!!

exoticferociouslocaleverybodylovesher"omgwho'sthatgirlflaunting?" LIMLIYIN!

heehee.
Sneak peak.


with her partner, Fong Yen Jin, nickname Ah Jin.

btw, its a runway for recycled material clothing, PAM camp.
for more info, and my more favourite picture of her and the dress (which is amazingly RUNWAY no doubt), go to her blog. linkielinkie :)

well, okay enough tease, here's the video
CLICKIECLICKIE!
Sorry its a little shaky, but just LOOK at how she've totally nail it.
Seriously, she's so talented, and she can totally hit the note [I SWEAR she sounds better than Leona Lewis on bleeding love!]
[[so if there's any interested company who'd love to sign her, please do, she's amazingly talented i must repeat.]]
[[[she can sing, she can dance, she plays the piano and clarinet(i think), and as you see, she CAN walk! and she's extremely adaptable. she's a star, you'd just have to polish her to shine better!]]]
gosh i really am promoting am i not? haha. cant help it, she've got so much talent!
its rather a bummer that they only came in 2nd, but still it must have been an amazingly valuable experience for these very bubbly girl and boy. haha, not coincidentally, they're both the loudest ones of our class.
and jin have already made his on screen debut on some ntv7 show.
lets give them a round of applause!! x)

UDON FEVER!!

i'm sure you've got familiar with my soba noodles, and i got myself so bored with it, i decided to have a change to udon instead! x) wee~~

BTW i'm practically "home-alone" everyday now, so making a change from my previous hols, i'm so not gonna stuff myself with more instant noodles, they're making me gag. @_@
therefore the kitchen is technically MINE!! [mwahahahaha. mom's usually out till the evenings therefore i think i've been cooking dinner everynight for almost a week now~]
woot woot!! aint that awesome? x)

no, i did not blow up my kitchen in any sense [not like the first few days, where my rice went flying :X; i've raise a level to "above-noob" now okay?? :D and have sorta gotten use to cleaning up. double :D]
so yay for everyone, faye's not whining cleaning up the kitchen anymore!! heehee. :)



anyways, lets let my udon talk.

This was what i made yesterday, udon in plain japanese kicap soup, tempura, and salad.
NOTE!! that ugliest plate of oil is THE BOMB! of the night; its olive oil with black vinegar, eventho simple its awesome! xD try it out yourself, but never EVER, put more vinegar than oil.
its my first attempt in making tempura. its carrot and tomato btw.. look how "healthy" i am! :D
haha. anyways that sucked. cause i "learn-d" from some taiwan show, but the outcome damn sucky loh, really taiwanese taste. believe me, i've been to taiwan. =.= but i'm not saying that they dont have good food in taiwan! i'm just saying it taste like the suckier foods in taiwan. dont get the wrong idea! :)


This was today's dinner!
i know it may not look in anyway appetizing AT ALL.
but i love soup noodles!
this is miso, with pork chunks, and obviously, tofu!!
the soup is damn sweet! not as in sugar sweet of course, but the sweetness of meat plus miso! haha. xD
i know i'm contended. hahahaha. cant help it. save yourself! *rofl*




and~~
one of my favourite soup of ALL TIMES!


BITTER GOURD SOUP!!
wee~~
i've finally get to made this MYSELF. <3<3<3

heehee.
really damn nice loh,
and damn easy.
..
AND ITS VEGE!
...
AND GOT MEAT-BALLS!! :D



hahaha..
soup-fanatic signing off ;)

My girls are the best!

This is what happens when we're in a diff course, we would never have the same holidays & schooling time.and never the less what we learn and encounter would be vastly different cause we're ALL in very different courses.
[well i only have one other good friend who's doing something like design, eventhough not architecture =) but only we can really understand the "sanfu"-ness each other undergo doing physical training-model making and computing which would last for weeks.]

anyways, to my dearest friends leiyan, and amiko:
I know i'm in not much stand to say anything, because i am the one who's losing the direction most [well, this doesnt in anyway apply to you ammie, cause you're the most determined apprentice chef i've ever know ;)], and i never know what exactly you all are experiencing for i've never been there, but all i want to say is, i know degree is tough on you guysgirls so far [which i really am already having a break down session whenever thinking about MY time approaching @_@]; you guysgirls are the best, and you guysgirls are the kindest soul i ever know (FOR REAL!). so yes, believe in god in blessing you girls, and believe in me it will turn better. :)
i know that last sentence sound real dumb and lame, but i couldnt get lamer than that.... until we meet up again, cause i've got some good extremely cold jokes. haha. x)
well for ammie who's finals are approaching REAL DARN CLOSE. EXTREMELY GOOD LUCK to you!-three leaf clover-
And leiyan, who's undergoing so many pressure due to the changes... i dont really know what to say, because you're more capable than most of us think of you, i dont know if you already know that. :) btw, She's my first active volunteer friend, she's doing all sorts of events, its pretty amazing, she and the organization.
in conclusion, rainbows appear after rain. :) [eventhough i know ammie would rather just stay with Rain. the solid one x) haha.]

A beautiful sunday morning~ ;)

despite the fact that i only wake up at noon. xP [i'm seriuos, it was 1200]
but anyhow, i love that i woke up to a cloudy sky, it was so cool [as in cold, not "you're the bomb"],
and the birds are still chirping [seriously did you ever notice that birds NEVER chirp after 10am on a warm day? i did.]
with a mug of warm nescafe, still in my jammies, i sat in the verandah, smiling. It just felt like MORNING! it would be a wonderful day despite that i dont go out on weekends, but its still good, because i just know that i'll be in an extremely good mood today. x) *sings~*

btw, i had the glutinous rice dumplings i made yesterday for brunch.
it was all good, except the too lean meat, seriuosly bak zhangs NEED FATS.
thats when it (fatty pork peices) will make them (bakzhangs) more moisture with a stronger kick of aroma. how can anyone ignore the smell of fatty bakzhangs? x)
yumm..














Arent they beautiful?? *beams* xD
this is my FIRST time making them!! be proud would you? hahaha..














TA-DAA!!
i know its rather small for a bak zhang, but come on will you? i'm a noob and i must admit its quite hard to do it with small hands. salutes to my grandma, eventho she only made them once for us, years ago when i was still in primary, but that was the most heavenly bak-zhang i had in my memory~ x)














Thats not all!
remember, i said i had a rather progressive week yesterday. *beams*

On thursday, I made OMURICE~!!!

*Jeng-JJeng~













btw, omurice + ketchup, DOES = PERFECT COMBINATION!
mwahahahahha.. i'm damn proud loh seriously. despite the "packaging". hahahahahahahha.
this IS my FIRST time making them & I made three in total :)
and yes of course this is the most presentable one. why would i want to show you my more failure example?

if your reaction now something like:
"huh? isnt that like. NORMAL fried rice with egg on top? meh, the egg not mata-kerbau somemore, cheh."
I STILL DONT CARE! mwahahahhaha.. [told you i'm in an extremely good mood today]

It IS my first time frying rice, and I dont like fried rice, because they're usually too dry and tasteless eventhough they have good chillies and ikan bilis and dried prawns. but let me tell you what i put in MY FIRST FRY RICE!! :D :D :D

- lotsa lotsa garlic.
[you know they always say, "fry your garlics till they gives out that awesome beautiful garlicy smell then only add...." i never gets this, i never smell the awesome beautiful garlicy smell, they still just smell garlic, fry any longer and i smell "overcook". *swt* but anyhow its best RAW with black kicap for bak kut teh! mwahahahaha]
- carrot cubes
- mushroom cubes
- fresh little prawns <33
and
- SMOKED SALMON! <333
and of course .RICE. =) [which i actually cooked it with pandan leave, but it doesnt smell pandan at all. booo.]

i swear the last two ingredients is the loviest of the love! haha. x)
see, i really DONT LIKE fried rice, and according to the list in order is how i cooked it.
As it progressed - garlics... carrots... mushrooms... i was so nervously awaiting that nice food-smell; because i hate bad food and for ME to produce one is an ultimate disgrace, plus i'm cooking TWO cups of rice, thats like too much to waste.
Then it finally came when i added the prawns, and let out a breath of relieve. [HAHA. i really did!]
Next step was tough! because i really ponder whether to "ruin" the now good meal with that package of smoked salmon. see i never tried cooked smoked salmon and raw smoked salmon are yuck. so yea. it took me quite a few minutes to finally decide to add it in!

and I SWEAR i am not exagerating, it REALLY IS HEAVENLY!
try it yourself, then you would understand what i mean by this "goddamnomgoodnesswthellisthatAWESOMELYBEAUTIFULsmell?!?!"
hahahaha. x)

all in all, i would say its the BEST fried rice i've ever had and to proudly declare that it is my first time cooking it. wahahahahahah.. i AM seriously damn proud. :D

BAK JJANG-IAEYO!!

we (mom and i) have finally make those glutinous rice dumplings TODAY!
gosh, its so troublesome my hands are sore now.

i'll be back later.
but overall i'd it've been a very progressive week x)
me likey!!

A beautiful soul.

I'm gonna talk about my going-to-be-former young maid.

For those who did not know, she's only 17 years of age, yeap, the same as my younger sister. how did she fool the kastam, i do not know, but i am absolutely sure the one who approved her is either blind or blind. haha. because, really she looks very young. and there's just the "aura of innocence" that's going about her.. i dont know how to explain, but anyways, let me tell you a story about this young girl.

She's from a small village on the hills of Cambodia, who lives with her grandmother. Her dad died of old age when she was just 11 if i remember correctly, and her mother is currently working in thailand. Now i know the introduction is nothing great, it could have been any other "immigrant maid's story" but the point is she's just that young innocent. She's this innocent soul who would have been everyone's little sister because she's just so obedient, sweet, and curious about everything that to be frank, she's really quite adorable. but there's also part of "every other maid's story" where she'd lie to get out of trouble, and break some stuff at home. haha. to be frank she'd be the first maid to have broken so many household stuff in such short period. btw, if i got the dates right, think her service period for our house was only 3 months or less. =)

anyways, "obey-ing" mom's request, i bought the young girl for some shopping at carrefour just now.
She was so happy about it, you could actually feel her beam. cute isnt it? =)
and her shopping list is so short, she only wants a long sleeve t-shirt and a pair of socks. why am i talking about her simple shopping list? well, see where she's coming from made her this really simple girl that she wouldnt ask for more, you get me? she really just look for a t-shirt, and a pair of socks. and then she's good to go.

unlike us - the lucky ones, honestly we'd NEVER have a "i'm gonna get ONLY an item to treat myself for doing so well this sem" idea, in situationa like this we'd actually be like....
"okay, i'm gonna get a top... and a bracelet, and a bangle, and a slipper, and K-session, clubbing tonight, and buffet on sunday!"
or a rather simpler example "ma, can i have both/all?" and then when mom says no then we'd be grumpy for the rest of the day.

what i'm trying to say is as tin would have prefered of the outskirt areas, simple ppl like them makes life more simple, less stressful, and in all, more beautiful.
Cities ppl, admit that you actually do take advantage over someone direct or indirectly. i know a number of ppl who could do that without even feeling guilty. because its part of the "chain" of living out here. I'd admit that i take the most advantage of my family, that i could do all mean stuff like cussing and raising voices etc when i'm not in the mood of entertaining, i'm just that uglily rude if that's the way you'd put it, i admit it.

now how do i conclude this?
i know its a different culture, lifestyle, bought up situation etc to start off with. But really, why cant we learn to satisfy ourself with more simple things? I, for one would need a MEGA upturn to reach that level, but it would be a great achievement i believe if i ever reach there =)
