I found my camera ^_^
I don't know where i misplace my camera charger-__- it should be in 1 of the unopened boxes.
today as i try to be more aware of my surroundings when i drove, i drove past my house while holding the auto gate remote control. i was thinking why isin't my house gate opening...i have pressed the right button. Then my neighbour opposite a few doors away was looking at my direction and then i realized that i had drove past my house..the gate was behind me..can you imagine how red my face was?? i pretended that i was indeed at the correct position as though i wanted to reverse my car into the house...i did reverse in but my parking was lousy. i didn't bother reparking. gosh...all the trouble...what for? Just so my neighbour wouldn't think i'm a blur sotong.hahaha...
You should know by now that my title has nothing to do with this funny incident. perhaps it wasn't funny but still the title has nothing to do with how funny it should be.
i hope...i hope for many things...
i dream...not as many as i should...
We are firstly spiritual beings...if we know we should eat everyday, 3-4 times a day for our earthly body, what do we feed our spirit?
Word of God...now i understand why Jesus said that man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. what a revelation! and how often do i feed my spirit? once a day only. morning quiet time or night quiet time...
all my hope, all my dreams, God i lay them at Your feet...

1 July 2009...
6 months officially gone and the other half of the year has begun...
gosh...today is a bit emo day...its my mentor's 2nd last day. Last night we had a farewell dinner with him in Brickfields at this restaurant that is situated in Temple of fine arts...its a new building and the concept is buffet style and you can eat as much as you want and pay as much or as little as you want. Basically any proceeds from this restaurant is a donation for the Temple of Fine Arts. To maintain it. The food is vegetarian and its cooked in such a way that it'll remind you of home cooked Indian food and mom's cooking. Quite interesting...i enjoyed ghee tosai and green chutney the most and mango lassi is really like...fruit and milk. I also had other food lar...
After that, we went out and took photos and talk like a bunch of good friends. It was indeed a fun time and i enjoyed myself.
Anyways, besides emo cos of my mentor, my cousin sis just moved out of house...sigh...tho i don't talk much to her(hardly a word everyday), i feel sad that...she's no longer staying with us...aiya sometimes i don't understand my parents wan...when she is around, complain about this and that...actually i think she's pretty ok lor...except being passive and a bit impolite like never address the elders when she reach home or after dinner straight away go to her room and never see her or hear from her till the next morning. So, hopefully in this new student house, she'll learn to open up and interact with peoples...
I just wanted to say i miss them...that's all...

did you see it?....
yeah...neither did i...maybe i did vaguely...the week just passed by again...i couldn't remember where i had lunch on Thursday.
I remember singing in church and watching Transfohmer2 with a big bunch of church friends and friends. And i remember wanting to include my colleagues for paintball...
But today is exceptional...besides the huge media attention and the world's attention on the demise of the greatest star of the century ie Michael Jackson, it rained and its my mentor's final Friday in Malaysia...sigh...i wish...it wasn't this gloomy. For once, i actually feel the loss that is about to come.
Am trying to think how to better spend it but no point cracking my head and not enjoying the moment that we have now. After the meeting this afternoon, we both logged onto Facebook and signed the memorial for MJ. It was funny cos right after my post went up, he posted his as well and he was laughing and saying look at the Malaysia team, both on Facebook after meeting. =)
And then we had lunch with the rest of colleagues and it felt like the last big family lunch that we'll have with him as colleagues. His last day in the office is next Thursday...so everyday till then will be his last days in Malaysia...
arrgghh...so depressing...anyways, i had steamboat for dinner today...to celebrate Yoke's belated birthday...i don't really like steamboat buffet because i can't eat much. The most i can go is prolly like 5 biji of pork balls plus some bits here and there and it just doesn't feel worth it to me. I don't mind having steamboat at home tho..so we had the steamboat and i was eating my ice cream and looking at this prawn which looked really bloated and short. It just doens't look like how prawns normally look...as i looked closely, i realized that this prawn was pregnant so it had many eggs stuck below its legs. I'm like...horrified...i felt like puking cos i'm gonna tear off its head and scales and suck up the eggs and tear its body apart and put it into my mouth. I really felt like not swallowing it. niweis, i forced myself to swallow it and tell myself that it is nice food.
Haha...yeah..i think must be 1 of those rare moments that i had a pregnant prawn for dinner.
ok...story time up...time to bed.
good nite readers...sweet dreams...

We have overcomed...
Woow weee...yet another week has passed. So many things happened..good and bad...yet i feel unfulfilled...like i haven't done my best for this week. ok...i know my group won for Best Pasta in m church punya 2015 event. The euphoria lasted a whole 24 hours..haha..anyways, i noticed that I strive for efficiency in all that i do. I always plan for the most productive way to spend my time, talent and treasures...I can't stand having to wait except waking up time...that i don't mind waiting longer.hahahaha..niweis...
I enjoy having plans in advance and yet also having spontaneous plan.
I enjoy driving and going for a drive...
I enjoy eating and making food to eat...
I enjoy hanging out with friends and yet also having time alone...
Being able to see and/or help someone choose to move out of their problems and turn their eyes to God or just being able to bless someone in word or deed, make their life a bit better to go through, i think, is the most fulfilling thing i would have ever done.
Gosh...i wish i have a puppy now..he would prolly sit next me and wagging his tail and look at me with his adorable eyes...^_^

The right to be bangga for 24 hours or so!...
The Underdogs won...the dark horse won...that's what some people say...
Who would have thought that 2 demure girls from Uptown Damansara could've beaten all the others.............pasta dish...HAHAHAHAHA...
I"m so glad that my colleague kept her word and opened up her house and also cooked the pasta and also came to the event!i've been inviting her and even let her listen to the Yesus kupercaya song and told her how nice it is and told her its my Pastor that sang it. And today she gets to meet Pastor but not personally. She said Pastor is pretty. Hahaha...
Let me tell you the story...initially i wanted to make Carbonara pasta and since she heard about the event(cos Matt shared during PG before Revo conference that week that there will be a cooking event and that got her interested though she doesn't know how to cook pasta) and showed interest in joining, i decided to really go all the way for her if she would come...we were supposed to get her friend Arvin to cook since he made really good pasta the other time. But this guy couldn't make it. So i thought ok..since she doesn't cook pasta, i shall do the carbonara which i know how to make. And i asked for her input and she kept insisting subtly that we should put cili padi...i was like @_@ how can...the taste doesn't go with carbonara...anyways i was kinda determined that i will make the carbonara by hook or by crook...but at the back of my mind i felt i should do this together with her. So i said ok, let's put cili padi when we marinate the chicken. Then she forgot to bring the chicken back to marinate so i had to do it. So, today while driving to her house after work, she told me she has tomato paste at home and herbs and we should put garlic and onions...so i was again@_@ and then decided that...u know wat...we'll do the tomato based pasta because it will go with the cili padi idea...never mind that i had bought stuff to make carbonara cos its just milk and cream and cheese. We can still use the chicken and mushroom and parsley. At first i wanted to make the carbonara because i knew it could win but then i thought i want this to be group effort and i want her to be involved, so it didn't really matter if we didn't win. hahaha...and while making the whole pasta dish process, it was pretty cool you know..i honestly dunno wat in the world is adante pasta(i googled dy so now i know) and i didn't have a clue wat kinda taste i wanted. I just knew...it will be spicy bcos of the cili padi...and my colleague Shalini did a fantastic job with choosing the right sized plate and though the color din't match, she was smart enough to put the pasta on 1 side and garnish it simply with mint leaves and tomatoes. She did all the mixing and deco and some cooking. I simply marinated the chicken and add herbs and cream whenever needed. So it was really a favour from above...woohoo!
Now, let me write the recipe down before i forget!
It is called Fiery Bolognese =D
Serves 2-3 persons(depending how much you eat)
Ingredients:
To marinate chicken overnight(good for YWA as we can marinate the chicken at night and then use it the next nite to cook. Chicken would then be super marinated.hahaha)
To prepare spaghetti
Boil water in medium sized pot. Put some salt and wait for water to boil. Put in about half a packet of spaghetti (You can also use fettucine or angel hair).
Boil until spaghetti looks a bit fat. I can't tell exactly how long. Prolly 20 minutes over low fire and boiling. Best to take 1 strand out and pinch off 2 cm and eat it to see if its cooked well or adante. er...ya...
Drain spaghetti and wash with cold water. Put 1-2 tablespoon of butter onto spaghetti and mix well. Can add more butter if you want it to be really oily looking.
Sauce! One of the main things...
Finally, when ready to eat, only then mix the spaghetti and the sauce in a bowl and serve on a plate with garnishing. Careful not to break the pasta strands. Looks like that was 1 reason why our pasta won cos the strands didn't break.
Voila...bon apetit! ^_^
I'm so happy that we won...thank You Jesus! I hope even beyond that that she will have an encounter with God personally...
