Chapalang updates these few days

WY asked "so did you really off the lights?" Yea I did. I switched off the whole apartment's light, my pc and fan. "What did you do during this one hour?" Heng asked. I drew some abstract sketches in the dark and then meditated until my legs went numb. Heng grumbled something about me rather doing nothing in the dark than chatting with him on webcam. lol. He's so cute. =P Had a long chat with him after that. Hehe.

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

I go to life saving class every week since CNY. During every swimming class I did 300 m nonstop breaststroke, 50 m sidestroke and 50 m survival backstroke, 100 m in 100 seconds, 26 m underwater (no exchanging breaths).

There's a big improvement in my stamina after so many weeks. Last time I swam 150 m then I had to stop for a while before continue swimming. Then after that I forced myself to finish 300 m at one go, but still pant until like wanna die. But, after several practices, now I find it easy to swim 300 m nonstop. No panting. Yeay! Finally I manage to understand what Madam Yul's (my instructor) meant by "swim as if you are relaxing, slowly, dun struggle to swim fast (for the 300 m)".

But I still can't make it for 100 m in 100 seconds. I tried both breaststroke and freestyle. Both I got about 125 seconds. There's 25 second difference, which is A LOT! lol... Can die la.. But I really like the feeling of striving to achieve something.

Went to swim class Sunday morning. Despite the routine I had every week, I learned new things finally! I got to learn throwing the rope to the victim, pull the victim with the rope, landing the victim, and putting the victim at recover position. I'm still not very familiar with all these. But, practice makes perfect. I'm sure I can do it after trying few times. =)

My instructors suggested me to use the paddles to improve my arms strength so that I can swim faster and more at ease when I do freestyle. Last time I had this misconception that a paddle can make you use less arms energy. But HW say it's totally opposite. True also, then only I realized the theory behind. The friction become bigger when one use paddles to swim. So, one needs more energy for each stroke to move forward, even though it makes you move longer distance per stroke.

With the double or triple energy you put in, the paddles will make you so tired you can't swim longer distance than the distance you normally can swim. So, I tried with the paddles for 2 laps (100 m) only. And guess what? My arms are aching now. lol. But I like it because this means that my arm strength is improving and that I can swim faster with freestyles next time. =D But hor.. I really hope the muscle won't grow until my arms look like this lo.

Speechless.. I feel like vomiting after seeing this. Maybe this explains my lack of appetite today. lol.. Nah. Had late breakfast. That's why can't stuff more food in for my lunch already.

lol.. It's impossible to become like this superwoman la. I think to achieve this state, one needs a lot of supplements to build up the mass.

I think the most I can get is something like this:

Nice..


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

Wanted to sell my books (those fiction books la. Not text books). Called up the buyselltrade in SS15 and asked how much they will pay for the books. The guy said less than RM3. Ok. I get it. Plans changed. Not gonna sell my books already.

Earth Hour

Wanted to go to the car repair workshop CP went with CP this morning then only go work. Then only realized workshops dun open so early in the morning. Argh. Should have go in the afternoon after work. Nevermind, I'll just wait then coz hopefully the mechanics will say "Oh. This one small problem. I can repair for you right now. It will only take 1 hour." lol. Dream on la. But if there's no dream, what is life for? lol

So I'll wait.

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

I received an email from Raleigh saying that 29th March 2008 (this Saturday) is an Earth Hour event for this year. The whole world will switch off their lights at 8pm for 1 hour. This event is to deliver the message about the need for action on global warming.

Last year it was only a Sydney event. But this year, it's going global.


Here are some of the countries which are participating in this event:

Australia
US
Italy-Rome
UK
Brazil-Curitiba
Israel-Saba
Indonesia-Jakarta
South Korea
Singapore-Singapore
Malaysia-Kuala Lumpur
India
Phillipines-Phillipines
Switzerland-Geneva
Greece-Aegina
New Zealand
Spain-Puerto Rico

*Those countries which I didn't include the cities have more than one cities participating.
For more info, please click here.

Wow. Kuala Lumpur also joining the event! I'm not sure whether it's the whole city or it's just some organizations/schools. See here for the list of companies/school participating in the event. Quite a lot le.

I've signed up the event in the website as an individual already. Go sign up for the event now! And have a nice candle light dinner at home. Or sit around chatting with your family members in the dark. Or sit alone facing the wall in the dark like a moron for 1 hour. Share ghost stories with a bunch of friends in the dark.. Oooo.. Scary. Not only can we deliver the message about global warming, I think when large amount of people signing up for this event, switching off the lights for one hour is enough to save a lot of fuels used to generate the electric.

lol.. This is not an advertisement. It's a nature calling. keke.

So, in order to help save the fuel by a bit, that night I will switch off all the electritical devices in my room (except my handphone la). So, please dun call me and tell ghost stories yea. hehe. Most probably I will be the moron for 1 hour coz I dun have torchlight. Can't write poems without the light what. lol. Can't chat with Heng also. Can't blog. Can't read people's blog. Have to cut all the things I do when I'm at home.

Earth Hour 2007 in Australia. See Australia was all dark. I always admire the awareness on environment Australians have. Canada was dark also. Maybe they also participated?

Remember to switch off the lights at 8pm 29 March 2008 yea =)


Will post up Earth Hour 2008 world at night picture if I find any in my next entries.

Proton Shih Tzu

Went to the Proton service centre to inquire about the repair fees for my car. Mum had seen the kemek-ness from the picture I send her. She said it's not serious. She thinks it will just cost about RM100.

So, after I asked the mechanic, the repair fees is really 100. But it's not in Ringgit. It's in pounds! Almost 100 pounds if converted the sum to pounds! I wanna pengsan already. It's freaking RM600 le. Summore according to the mechanic a sum of RM600 is the minimum charge, body repair they call it (if not mistaken). If they found that the parts in the car got damaged by the impact due to the accident, they will charge me more.

But, I appreciate them being honest to me. I really do. Sigh...

Then mum said just repair the bonnet coz it is the one that cannot open. She said just leave the kemek bumper like that. =(

That means my car will look like Shih Tzu for some time le..

Note the flatness of the face and compare with the kemek-ness of my car


Proton Shih Tzu. Whoa.. Nice name! lol...

If I only repair the bonnet (they will knock out the steel), the fees should be only RM25 and if I repair the button inside (if the button is broken) it will be added up to RM35. Still not bad. But, there's a 'but' here, according to the mechanic if the alignment of the knot (the button, he calls it a 'knot') has gone out of place, then I will have to have my kemek fender changed, which he's not sure with the price yet. I think his customer service skill is good coz he assured me that he will check the price listing in the catalog for the fender for me, so that I can compare the price.

Actually if he want to cheat my money he could persuade me to send my car to them for the bonnet repair first then without me knowing fix the bumper and fender for me as well, then claim money from me quoting the famous line "what has done has been done". That's why I say I appreciate the service although it is their responsibility to not cheat us customers. lol.


So now.. In order to save money for the possible fender replacement I will have to eat instant noodle everyday for dinner starting now. lol. Nevermind. My instant noodle is damn tasty. I won't complain. =P Coz it's the Korean ramen again. Yummm!! Korean ramen is quite expensive you know, one package of noodle is RM2.70 le. I'm not sure whether it's because Jusco priced it more expensive or it's the inflasion. Last time it was RM2 per package le, but it's Giant la.... Hmm.. I should reconsider an alternative for my dinner, RM2.70 not cheap also. Although cheaper than normal ones like mee goreng and mixed rice with 3 dishes (which I normally take).



Maybe roti canai. 2 pieces at less than RM2. Haih. So pathetic la. Duwan roti canai la.
Maybe mixed rice with only one dish. lol. Maybe that will cost me about RM2 only. Yeay


Oh ya. By the way, I just bought a purse. It looks really nice one. But then hor, I very stupid lo. I forgot to try putting my cards in before I buy. So the IC and all I have to push very hard only able to secure them in. OMG. I hope the purse won't spoil so soon.

This morning the sky is so beautiful

Speedtest

Found this from Ley Hian's blog. This is cool! Coz I never know how fast I can type. So here it is, I type 68 words per minute the fastest I can get. lol. The first time I tried I got 59 wpm, then 55 then 61 then 57. Then the final one 68 wpm. Summore it's because the test is pretty easy. No difficult symbols.

68 words

Speedtest

An average typist reaches 50 to 70 wpm, while some positions can require 80 to 95 (usually the minimum required for dispatch positions and other typing jobs), and some advanced typists work at speeds above 120. --Taken from yahoo

Hmm. Pretty cool. I can at least work as an average typist =P

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

Read Mun K blog just now. And found this interesting. Just for fun only.

Just type in your name and the future you pop up. Hmm.. But when I type my full name nothing come out le.


But the keyword Yink Heay showed this picture:

(C)The Future Photo Museum (C)Free Game FREEM Supported by Free Online Game Matome

So in the future I will become a locked up lioness? Fierce but hopeless? lol

(C)The Future Photo Museum (C)Free Game FREEM Supported by Free Online Game Matome

Or become a plate of mashed vege salad? All mashed up? haha..

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

Was looking through the keywords that linked to my blog. One caught my eyes. The keyword is "what does kekdao means". lol. I bet this person is definitely not a Malaysian Chinese. lol.

Then I just realized that I didn't explain the word when I wrote it in the blog last time. I think it would be nice if I explain the meaning here so that next time when people type in "what does kekdao means" they will get the meaning from here. lol

kekdao
-adjective-
1. an expression of anger {e.g. That guy accused me for stealing his wallet. Kekdao! I'm innocent!}
2. an expression of annoyed plus amusement normally after hearing lame jokes
{e.g. When someone come telling you this: "Why do lions always eat raw meat?" You can't guess why. So, you asked the person what's the answer and he say the "answer is because they don't know how to cook". Then you can say Kekdao.}

According to Adam, kekdao is like there's a choke in your chest due to slight anger, at times associated with playful happiness too.

Chee Hui and CM dunno how to explain.

New and Jackie said kekdao = pissed off.

June Fei said kekdao = zhadao. lol.. Didn't explain much.


What's your say? What does kekdao means?

'Fortunate' incident

It says "nothing unfortunate can occur to me today". Hmph.. Maybe a car accident is still under the category of fortunate incidents huh?

Don't feel like describing the incident here coz it's my fault being daydreaming. So, no comment. Sigh... Just one remark I wanna write here. I lost another RM100 to pay the lady for the minor scratch on her car. And my car bumper kemek until I can't even open the lid in front (the engine part). Thank you.

Mum say try opening it with screwdriver. Bcause for normal saga one needs the finger to push the button inside to open it. Now that the lid is kemek, I can't even stuck my finger in, how to push the button? But luckily it's just minor accident. I should feel fortunate though.

Second remark: Buy a new purse.

Adventures and some money-losing experiences

Hmm. After reading CP's comment, I scared people will complain about my previous post. So I just deleted it. hehe... Dunno is it a wise choice to take it off. lol...


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

I wanted to write this post. But I'm not sure how to put them in paragraphs. I wanted to make it as funny as it can. But, the more I want it to be perfect, the longer I 'postpone' writing it.

So here it is!

Have been really poor lately. First, it was the minor accident I had. I banged on my aunt's gate and had to pay RM280 for the repair fees. Mum paid for me first. So I owe my mum a big sum of money. Including here and there to sum up to RM360.

So, I had been saving money since then. I dun use Kesas Highway to go Sri Petaling for my swimming lessons even though it takes shorter time to reach. Because Kesas charge me RM4.40 (2 tolls). So I use NPE instead (only RM1.60, one toll). Coming also the same, take NPE not Kesas. This saves me RM5.60. Wow!

Then last Sunday I went to the swimming class again. My car desperately needed petrol. And because I would have to take a long drive to a U-turn and drive back to Shell station I decided to take Kesas instead coz there's a Shell station before the toll. But when I drove there. I missed the junction! Arghh! So, I turned to OUG Shell petrol station purposely just for filling up the petrol. And this 'U-turn' was even further than the USJ one. RM4.40 wasted.

And then going back was a nightmare as well. Normally I took the small roads to OUG then take NPE back one. But all the while I was curious whether I can take the Kesas from Sri Petaling Carrefour back to OUG then only take NPE back USJ. So I gave it a try. And the very unfortunate thing happened. lol. The junction to OUG is right after a RM2.20 toll! OMG. After paying the toll I asked myself "Should I just go straight back to USJ or go OUG and take NPE?" At that time I forgot about the RM1.60 Kesas Sunway Toll. So, I was thinking.. "hmph, the toll fees so expensive, I'm gonna boycott Kesas from now on." So I took the long way to NPE and back to Sunway. So, in total I wasted RM6.60 because I took an alternative plan to go and leave swimming lesson.

You say funny or not. Zhuang couldn't help laughing when I told her this. Sigh...

I dun mind being called pantang now. I'm gonna buy a new purse coz it's broken here and there. There's a believe saying that a broken purse can make one loose money. I know those money-losings were due to my carelessness la. But dun care lo.. I wanna buy new purse already. Saving money now for the new purse.


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


Talking about Kesas Highway I got a little 'adventure' to tell. lol. I know for people who are working in KL will think it's small matter. But, it's a big thing for me. =P

I had never dreamed myself driving to KL. Summore today I drove alone there! From Kelana Jaya! Yes, me, the queen of sense-of-directionless. lol.

For a person who have totally no idea how to go KL (but I know one can go KL through Federal Highway la) driving to KL can be considered as an adventure already. lol.

At first it was all cool. I know where to turn to go Federal Highway from LDP. It was the first time I drove on Federal Highway! Yeay! Federal Highway at 12.30pm was ok. Slow but flowing. Luckily KL was easy to follow. I followed the signboard until Sungai Wang there. Was damn happy with myself.

Then, follow halfway, while frantically looking for the signboard showing KLCC (coz in front was a branch, going either left or right), I didn't see the car in front stopping. I almost bang that car's butt. Summore my car was not slow that time le. So, I quickly turned my wheel and luckily I avoided the crash. But there's a motorcycle behind me.. I didn't saw that. Luckily the cyclist managed to avoid me. I was really disappointed with my carelessness that after that I didn't see the signboard and hence turned the wrong lane. Luckily there's a U-turn after a fairly long distance.

It was raining very very heavily until I could not see the signboard clearly. I slowly explore on and tried to look for a clue to go back towards KLCC direction. And then Bingo! Despite the heavy rain that obscure the view, I found the signboards again. I went back to Sungai Wang there, the rain ceased a bit. I think it's playing a prank on me. Sigh... Then, I followed the signs and finally! I saw KLCC entrance!! I didn't want to park in KLCC coz it's damn expensive. So, I make a guess that going round the KLCC I might find the famous Avenue K. And I did. I parked my car there and saw a sign showing KLCC Rapid KL sign. So I followed, walked through the KLCC LRT underground and then mission completed! Yeay!

I went there for a talk about "Deciphering the Leukaemia Genome Using Next Generation Sequencing Technologies". I dun really know what it is about except that Dr Mardis sequenced the genome from cancer patients. Maybe I had not enough sleep the day before..

Oh yea. Talk about sleeping. I need to sleep now. Very tired. And I promised myself to sleep at 9.30pm today. But it's 10.30pm now. OMG! Ciao.

Mind-boggling

Ever since I came back USJ last Thursday, I find myself busy with practically nothing. I dunno why. I felt a lot of things are waiting for me to do and yet I didn't do much. Weekend was always busy. And when I had time to sit down, I would just sat in front of the computer thinking of nothingness. Or chat with Heng.

I wonder why I have no passion to update this blog these few days. Last time I blog everyday;. Now I blog every 3 days. This is worrying me. I have nothing in my life to share recently I guess. The only thing I can think of sharing is Desaru. Hmm...

On second thought, in fact there are a lot of things I have been thinking of lately and they are quite mind-boggling. One of them is my future. I'm not talking about marriage here of course. I'm talking about career.

I remember I wanted very much to become an astronomer when I was in secondary school. And when I started to take physics in Form 4, I totally gave up on the dream. lol. Coz I hate physics and I think astronomer needs a great mathematics and physics brain. And when I failed physics in my monthly tests, my astronomer dream is out of the scope.

Then, I was interested in organic chemistry when I was in Form 5 and when I heard that pharmacy involves a lot of organic chemistry, immediately I imagined myself working as a pharmacist. I always wanted to study pharmacy back then but I didn't choose to study pharmacy even though my pre-U results was eligible to apply for the course. Because I don't like to stand at the counters to serve customers, I prefer lab work. So, I chose Biotechnology. Too bad back then I was too ignorant. I didn't know if one studies pharmacy one can further study to discover drug and what not. But what had been done had been done. There's no use to look back and regret.

So, now that I had done a degree in Biotechnology. What am I got to deal with it? I know reaching for the phd dream is what everyone is planning. But, something deep inside is telling me that Phd is not what I want. I just want to work in lab with stable and good salary and have the chance to join a research team. That's all I want. I don't want to be a lecturer. I don't want to lead the research team. And I definitely dunno whether I can cope with the 3 years stress.

You can call me coward. But with the financial I lack, I can't picture myself working under both financial and academic stress. Because I've witnessed it in my friend who had suffer insomnia because of the two main stress in a poor student life - money and exams. And I don't want myself to go through this dilemma coz I don't want to use money from my parents again. Being money-less in country using expensive currencies. Summore 3 years! Unless I'm very sure I have enough money in my account to cover my expenses for these 3 years if transaction of scholarships or grant delayed, otherwise, it's a big no no.

With so many reason, which I hope it is not a looking-for-easy-way-out-thinking. Or maybe all these financial reasons are bullshit. I think it's just me myself who dun feel like taking PhD. Yesterday, after I went to the UK education fair. The lady at the University of Nottingham, although being frank, but what she said gave me a pang. She said "So you want to study PhD just because PhD has more scholarship offering, not because of your interest?"

She's right.

I had been creating myself a believe that "I want to study PhD because I really like it". But it was actually not true. If I really like it, why did I keep running away from it? Initially I thought it is normal to take sooo long to apply for a PhD. lol. But, seeing my progress in applying for PhD I sense some repulsive response whenever PhD flashes through my mind. Comparing to my impulsive decision on learning life saving Bronze Medallion, I'm sure something is wrong with my willingness to take PhD. And from the repulsive response, the conclusion is I love Bronze Medallion and I hate PhD. Dun ask me why I hate PhD. I also dunno.

But, the weird thing is I still have the love for lab work and research. I really want to upgrade myself in lab techniques. So, yea.. Now I'm still thinking about the possibilities. One of which is MSc in Food Biotechnology or Enzymology. And I know I love it because I don't need to force myself into looking for the info about master programmes. And I would smile when I looked at the course structures. The feeling was so soothing. =) Hope this is my final decision for my first step. Hope I won't fickled again.

I'm a Photoshop noob

Imagine sitting in the room, relaxing and checking emails. Then suddenly a very pleasant smell similar to the smell of dung slowly filling up the room you are sitting in. And it's too late to shut the windows because the smell had already gradually building up, because initially you thought it was just your fart. lol. Not funny. And what you have to do is either (a) ignore the smell by breathing normally or (b) take big breathes and sniff in all the smell so you don't need to sniff the same smell at second breath. lol.

This is the scenario of having a room near to a septic tank (or is it sewage tank?). Your luck is completely based on the wind. If the wind likes to blow towards the room window today, then it's bad luck day today. Sigh.. Praying hard when I sleep later it's not gonna stink.

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

lol. Am very happy that Zhuang chased me to update my blog few days ago and today WY chased me to write another post. When I look at the date of my beach post only I realized it was 2 days ago. Sorry yea, Friday one whole day I take bus from hometown back to my USJ home. So, have no time to blog yet. Finally now got time. =)

There are several pictures I took at Desaru which I had not put here yet. Coz I wanna photoshop first. Let me show you my very beginner photoshop skills. =P

The beach

Went to Desaru on Tuesday.

Many people asked me what does Kota Tinggi have. I always answered "Desaru and waterfall". But, I've never been to Desaru for about 20 years already. I only know that people don't go to this beach anymore coz I heard that it had become dirty with rubbish everywhere.

Suddenly I had this feeling to find some tourist spot in Kota Tinggi to just walk around.

So, Desaru I went.

There are 3-4 different resorts or chalets. We went to this oldest one, the one I came 20 years ago -- Desaru Holiday Chalet.

On the way we saw:

You can see Oil Palm estate almost everywhere in Kota Tinggi.

Poor cows going to get butchered later.

The famous Sekolah Sukan (Sports School) in Bandar Penawar. Can't take the full view of the school. Too many trees block the view.

Cyclists along the road

And me camwhoring =P

Here you go! The beach!

And the beach is CLEAN! Only some (very few) traces of rubbish at the night tide mark.

But I wonder are all ocean waves bubbly like detergent water? Why Desaru ones are bubbly? And although the beach is pretty clean, the ocean water is murky.

At least some living things. I guess the water should be quite clean then. Or the plants are strong?

Abandoned slippers

Dead sotong (squid). I never seen such big squid before. Dunno why when there's this dead sotong, the ocean water was yellowish with bubbles as if it was toxic. Scary. I din dare to step on that part of water.

Another dead thing. I have no idea what it is. A sea urchin?

Pirate of the Caribbean returns! lol.. Lame..

Away from the beach:

It says "Beware!!! Attention to all visitors. Beach is closed due to monsoon season. Not safe for swimming. Swimming is at your own risks." It's March now, east coast is normally safe to swim during this period of time. I think the next picture explains it all.

The board says "Awas! Pantai ditutup. Tidak selamat untuk berenang." (Danger! Beach closed. Not safe for swimming). Actually the ocean should be safe enough. The tides were small.

I guess they put the board because there's not enough staffs there to keep an eye on swimmers. And not many visitors go there. So, it's quite dangerous to swim alone there coz no one can save you if you're in trouble.

Abandoned chalets. There are new ones behind these chalets.

Old bridge. See the gaps where the planks should have been.

Can see that there's no one else at the beach right? I told you no one wants to go there anymore. It's deserted, except the very few staffs who only sleep and some chefs in the restaurant who prepared some dishes. I wonder people go to their restaurant for food.

That afternoon, we felt like we had the beach all to ourselves. No need to squeeze ourselves with the crowd to share this beach. When we walked back to our car, we saw 2 Chinese guys walking towards the beach. Hmm.. There's still some who discover the beauty of Desaru.

Guess what time of the day I went to the beach? 11am!! We walked along the beach until 1 something in the afternoon. And the worse thing was that I forgot to apply sunblock! OMG! That's how I got my sunburn on my shoulders. Damn painful la my shoulder. Sob sob...

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

I made a prune cake after Desaru. Maybe I should call it Whisky cake. lol..

I soaked the prunes in too much Whisky that the cake tasted more like Whisky than prunes.

But, the cake became really watery. Bad texture. I tried to bake it many many times until the surface of the cake become charcoaled and some parts become crusty. (First trial: Bake 30 minutes. Second: 15 minutes. Third: 20 minutes. Fourth: 20 minutes. Total: 1 hour and 15 minutes). Yet, the centre of the cake was still lembik!! The soft texture at the centre was like thawed peanut butter. Eww!

After flipping over to a plate, the cake splitted into half because the centre was jelly-like. Urgh...

Mum helped me try cutting out the cake

Can't see properly?

See the zoom in:

This is a lump of shit, I admit. But a very tasty one. lol. Although it's all jellied up, the taste was superb!

I dun like alcohol coz it's bitter. But this piece of shit has the Whisky aroma in your mouth yet it is not bitter. But instead it was slightly sweet. The problem is only the texture - Too jelly-like. Next time (when I come back hometown) I'll give it another try with less Whisky. lol.

p/s: Know why I soak the prunes in too much Whisky? Coz the prunes absorbed all the Whisky. So I thought I should add Whisky until it stop absorbing. Bad choice. lol.

The best thing of being home

I cut my finger when I was preparing for the 'special' lunch today!

It was a very stupid mistake, as usual. lol. I was opening the luncheon meat can with the screw that can be spun around the can to peel open the can. But the metal came off the screw. So, I used my hand to pull off the metal instead, thinking it's only a bit more shouldn't be that unlucky to get a cut one. But, obviously I underestimated the metal. haha.

So I told myself I'm gonna make my blood worth it. haha. Luckily the lunch turned out pretty good. =) The image of this meal had been in my brain for 2 days already. And when I got exactly what I imagined. I just could not stop grinning.

Come see see my product -- Pancake with fillings

I make the 'skin' from egg, flour, water and sugar. The content consists of finely chopped Chinese mushroom, long bean, luncheon meat, mengkuang, carrot and cucumber. I seasoned these with soy sauce and black pepper powder. Yum!

It looks even nicer if served this way

Mum's idea. Nice eh?

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

Finally found the name for the spooky song I mentioned in previous post. Thanks Yumin for that. =)

It's called "I write sins not tragedies" by Panic at the Disco. Wow. They have such weird band name. lol. But really nice song. I like.

After watching their MV only I realised I watched it before one. No wonder the song sounds so familiar to me. But their MV is a bit spooky. Really match the song lo.

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

Yeay. I'm going to eat Bak Kut Teh this Tuesday! So happy! This Bak Kut Teh although not as gao (thick) as Klang's Bak Kut Teh, but the taste is there. Not like those diluted ones in SS14. lol. Can't wait to eat. Yum!!

And and. I'm going to make my first ever prune cake. Tomorrow going to buy prunes and going to soak it in alcohol overnight first. The next day I will start making the cake. Wish me luck!

These are the best things being at home =) To finally have the chance to eat food I always wanted to eat and to have the utensils to bake cake. Yeay!
