About The Xmas Day...

Hahaha Me and Kashin's new frog. Dam cute wei.. I also wan T_T Hahaha. Anyway, this year, I was persuaded into continuing our yearly Xmas tradition. A dinner party. So since this was the last year, we wanted to make it the best. I was lucky cuz many of them volounteered to help. Some with food, some wit gifts, some with games and some with decos.

The day started at 10.. something something.. Kelvin, Minnyin, Jeremy & I went to the market.. Whr we saw the butchers kill a goat.. =.= I lost my appetite for mutton..
We start preping for the dinner since then. The menu was a rly extensive one:

1. Barbecue chicken, mutton, sting ray, hot dogs & sweet potatoes.
2. Mixed seafood dish.
3. Fried wanton
4. Curry puffs
5. Pasta in Cabonara sauce
6. Tomyam fish
7. Fried rice n noodles
8. Seacoconut water
9. Chrysanthemum tea
10. Frosty The Snowman Cake!
    

The cutest cake i've seen. And it's 100% handmade. I'd know.. i help draw the scarf ^^ Made by Miya the Manipal's Legendary baker.. Hahha. Dam cute the cake.. =)
We played some games later on... Secret santa, charades.. It was a very hard for me to interpret 'Narnia' omg lor.. How to show it out.. sighs.. Hahaha i was suppose to b a lion. =.= HAHAHA!
The crowd was good also. I think there were bout almost 40 people. Stuffed into our carpark. Everyone's just having fun in their own way.
I thought in turned out very well. Much better than i'd expect. Heheh. And i shiok sendiri, but the food was rly rly good =) Hehe

Just one more thing before the elevator door closes. Thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. For making this Xmas a memorable part of 2009. Thanks for the warmth and love this season. Thanks for distracting me from thinking about home =) Thanks for the friendship.

Thank you~

*I still miss u tho*

Wishes You Joy~

Merry Christmas to my family & friends. I hope 2009 has been a great year for you as it has been for me. And may 2010 be even better.

Those who have many blessings, don't forget to share it with those less fortunate.

For those traveling to meet wit family or friends, drive safely. Those having their eighth cup of Eggnog, drink, don't drive.

For those who feels lonely this Christmas, don't. Let this christmas be the brightest one yet. Not just for you, but those around you.

May all of you b much blessed wherever you are. Here's to 2009~ Merry Christmas everyone~ =)

I Don't Believe You're That Hard~

Rihanna's latest single 'Hard' was suppose to be sexy, dangerous and edgy. But after watching it.. It's more like Lady Gaga's wardrobe (weird spiky shoulder pads), meets Beyonce's stylist ('tards & glasses) and a rly stupid song =.=

And all that crap happened in a war zone.. =.= Boooo....

****************

On a bias note, Hahahaha have u guys watched P!nk's 'I Don't Believe You'? Ok la.. it's one of my fave song in her album and also because i can related to the song. Haha~




*****************

*2 more days...*

Happy Winter Solstice~

All the way from India, I wanna wish all my dear friends and family everywhere int the world a Happy happy winter's solstice. Was lucky that Seeteng brought some glutinous rice flour from Msia, since i can't seem to find it here.

So we wanted to make some to celebrate and shiok sendiri. hahaha. I bought food colouring, intended for my cake, but used it here instead =) Win win~

Here's my recipe for the soup:
1 tablespoon of sugar for every 100ml of water. Depends how much soup u wanna make, I used 600ml of water.
Break 1 medium sized ginger.
8-10 Dried longan.

Throw all inside a pot, boil it until u get a light brown colour and the longan becomes soft. =) That's all. Senangkan? Even noob like me also can.. hahahaha



Anyway, it's a very simple dessert and delicious too. Hope those at home, manage to spend this simple celebration wit ur families. Really was jealous but felt warm inside, when reading all the FB posts saying 'rolling tang yuan wit my mother'.

hahaah my ugly pic while making tang yuan =s LOL! hahaha

*Keep rollin' rollin' rollin'*

Huff~ Puff~ There goes the candle~

Yesterday was Phei Woon's bday and we celebrated at Lake View.. I've only been to this place once, and that was like.. more than a year ago. Hahah and the place is still dim, and smelt like ciggies =.= When there's no one even thr.. Swt

Nikon somthing somthing.. hahahaha =) and hahaha i actually din plan to wear wat i wore la.. but then i din noe anything bout the party til like few minutes before and i WAS memang wearing my pagoda t-shirt and repairing my electrical fuse.. and then they say the dress code was white.. and i malas to change.. Hahaha tadaa~~ fits right in =)
And of course, when u're wearing white, and u have a chocolate ice cream cake.. accidents are bound to happen =.= Sigh...

*Can't even eat properly*

If We're Meant To Be...

1095 days ago.. I was standing there...
130 miles from home.. I was standing there..

100 years from now... Wherever you are... I'll be standing there..

*If we're meant to be,
We'll be*

We've got it good..

The very fact that u're reading this, is the very fact that we've got it good. Better, wayyy better than most of the population here in Manipal. Our com med group visited a day care centre, Anganvadi in Malpe as part of our rural health program. Here we met kids, looked after by 2 ladies
These kids are just like any other kids, playful, carefree, jovial... But u'll see our differences by a simple act of offering chocolates. To many of us, chocolate is just another candy, but to them, it's something they can't afford. Their faces light up everytime one of us pulls out a purple wrapped Cadbury. They jump and beg for a tiny piece. And when they receive a small chunk, they'll eat it immediately, and the most genuine and thankful smile u'll ever see.
Most of us are probably going, what should i do to my 15 shoe collection.. Simple, make it 16! Or complaining of not having the latest Iphone or pods. You see that 2 lady on the top. They've never own a camera. And yet, they're taking care of these kids. Isn't it funny how sometimes people with the noblest of jobs doesnt get 're-paid' as well as story books say they will. This is reality..
So this Christmas, instead of going all out on yourself, spare a thought for those less fortunate. And if u still can, get that pair of sunnies u've always wanted =) You'll deserve it~

***********************************
On a side note:

With regards to food:

I made for the very first time in my life, Mutton Curry! ^^
Ok of course takla sedap sampai menjilat kaki, but it's alright la Hahaha. Invited a few frens over for lunch.. Main aim.. fatten everyone else up~ Muahahaha. That's my side project, since can't thin myself =p

*Curry is red and Violets are blue*

The Visit To Asha Nilaya~

Some time ago, rmb i mentioned this Rehab Centre for Mentally Challenged kids? Yeap, so last week or so, we went thr and spend half a day with the kids thr And it was super fun.. 1st of all, i am still scared of these kids.. thanks to hollywood =.= U just dunno when they'll spring onto u and bite off ur ears .
This is a rly fun game.. Recomended by Abbas, it's the coconut bowling.. and it's sooo fun =s I wan play also de lor.. I'm in charge of palm printing... We end up doing for ourselves more than the kids. Hahahah. typical narcissitics~ Oh ya. ignore my stupid hair. i just woke ma.. =(
We played some kiddy games, like london bridge, and err if u're happy and bla bla clap ur hands~ I think half of the time, the kids dunno wat we're singing or saying, not cuz they're ill, but just cuz of the language barrier. But we made it up wit our semangat to clap around =.= haha
My retarded picture =.= Confirm nobody going to ask me to dance wit them at some formal function.. ini macam those dance at some country barn to some weird hoedown, wit cows mooing and hay flying~ argh~
I think even spending some time with them, yes we have some fun times, and some scary ones. But the social stigma will always be thr. Like this kid, who when gets excited, starts hitting people on the head =.= But given a chance, i'd go thr again =)

*Shake ur bon bon*

When Stupid Meets Mussel...

Dear Thelma,

Ok, i went to the Fish Market r'ight after clinics today, and i bought a bag of wild mussels. The thing about Indian mussels is that they are dirty.. They've got barnacles and stuffs growing on them. But i rly like shellfish, so i bought home some.

Here's when all the problems begin. I for one, dunno how the hell to wash this thing. But thank god for Google, and they say that we're suppose to soak it in water, to let it breathe. Then i realise i've already put it into the freezer =.=

So i took it out and put it into a bowl of water. But i'm wondering like.. i think it's already dead.. So i asked around, and they say, if the mussel is alive, it's shell is closed firmly, and when it's dead, it is opened. But the mussels in my bowl are closed.. or frozen, depends how u look at it..

How la now?

Sincerely,
I-was-probably-blonde-in-my-previous-life

*So stupid, i make Paris Hilton look smart*
