    Experimental Kitchen: Home Cook Meal

    It has been quite a long while since I have tasted a good home cook meal. Miss mummy and home. :( ...Anyway really glad Chinese New Year will be coming soon and I will be home for all the yummy dishes!!

    The other day out of pure primitive sense of desire: I want to eat home cook food!! Thus grab my wallet and drag who so ever can help me carry grocery along to shop.

    Here I reveal: My super simple No skill required Everyday cooking style. My cooking philosophy is wash everything clean and make sure everything is cook NOT burnt. It should be edible and harmless at least. Anyway I really wonder who will be interested in reading about me cooking. I think only my friends or juniors will be bugging to cook for them that's all. Remains me of that Spaghetti thing last time. Everyone want to have a bite of my dinner.

    Since me: the poor student who stay outside can only afford a little stove I got to cook one dish at a time.

    First one coming up is Fungus stir fried prawns.

    Throw in lots of garlic and onions, stir stir..


    Prawns throw in and make sure turn orange pink. I like to shells to be intact keep the sweetness in. ^^~ Of course remove the head and legs but I am too lazy to clean other parts.

    Vegetable in.
    Mushroom in.
    Mix everything, turn them round and round. Just make sure equal amount of heat on the ingredients will do.

    Second: BBQ sauce pork. Own invention. I marinated them in BBQ sauce that's all. As I am really have no idea how to cook it. Finally found pork in supermarket which is so rare. I love Piggy! They are beautiful , clean and tasty. I rank fish and pork the top meat of choice.

    Fried egg with pickled vege and chili.

    Fish and chips. Roast your toast and break them into tiny pieces for the crust. I learn this my good friend.

    See golden brown fish fillet.


    This is a table set for 2. Me and my fat brother. He refuse to eat prawns so a tiny dish of non prawn vege for him at the side.


    Ah....it does feel nice to be able to sit down round a table have a bowl of white rice and a great meal with family. Our family always have the most peculiar rice bowl. Here I like to use clear glass bowls. Back home mum got this metal shallow Korean bowls for us.

    MY fat brother who refuse to be in the pic. Haha . But I manage to snap his fat neck anyway.

    I am very thankful that I am always very lucky when come to cooking. I can always produce something not only edible but also kind of tasty. My mum has this idea that once I am married I will automatically know how to cook. And she simply refuse to let me help cooking. Think I am in the way maybe. So...I either learn from friend or internet on how to cook. I find cooking is actually quite simple. It is sort of like chemistry lab sessions. As long as the recipe you follow is accurate and exact and simple to follow, you can do no wrong. The dish will come out alright as it is suppose to. So far as long as it state the exact amount of what sauce to add the flavour usually is there.

    Seriously I am going to look up on recipe about pork dishes. Maybe this time I go and learn how to clean, wash and cook a fish. I have never ever handle a whole fish before. Dory is exception as it is already a clean fillet.

    So...cheer for me on the way too be a good cook. Haha~

    Hello. Mr Lizard.

    The first concept of me starting a blog is actually for my cats. After reading a lot of fantastic blogs about cats all over the world, I felt it will be great to join the fun too. Sharing with all the cat and dog lovers around the world about my pets.

    Currently I have 2 cats in KL and 10 dogs + 2 cats back in home town. Really wish got more chance to show the other pets in the family too.


    Kitty Drama continues....

    Season x Episode y: Kitty cats and Mr Lizard.


    Once upon not so long ago, there was a dusty city under the starry starry night. In one of the high rise buildings some where around the city, there lived 2 cats, one named Meow Meow , the other Kat Kat.

    One night, these two cats came across an uninvited guest in the living room.

    Meow put out a warm paw of welcome," Hello there. I am Meow Meow. Who are you?"

    Uninvited guest:" Mr L."

    Kat:" Oh...What does L stand for? "

    Uninvited Guest:" You stupid fat cat. Where are your eyes? Can't you see I am a LIZARD? L for Lizard."

    Kat:" How will I know you have such an unimaginative name or should I say " original" name? "

    Mr Lizard:" ...." He realized he was really in a very tight spot right now.


    Mr Lizard tried to slowly pretend looking another way and said:" Hey furry guys, I got to go. See you around sometimes. Bye. Don't come looking for me ever."

    Kat:" Wait! I have a lot of things to ask you. "

    Meow:" Ya. Me too! Why don't you have any hair?"


    Kat:"Why you like to throw away your tail? How you make it moved after being detached?"

    It was too late.Mr Lizard went into his favourite mood: Total denial. He started singing:" I am dead. I am dead. I don't taste nice nor will I move an inch. Please go away and leave me alone. Oh~~ I am dead, I am dead. "
    Out of a sudden:" Buuuuuuu~~~~"

    Meow;" Yucks! What the>???"



    Kat:" Interesting ! What was that???"

    Meow:" He fart right into my nose!!! Meow~~~~~~~~"

    Kat:" Fart? He smells alright to me. Not too bad."

    Meow:" Move over, you fatty moron. I will take care of Mr L."

    ...............Meow~~~ ..........................................


    Mr Lizard is praying very hard: Don't play with me using your dirty urine stained dirty paws. Please let me be lucky. Just kill me.

    ???????????????????

    Can Mr Lizard get away alive? Or will he end up as the cats supper? Or????? To be continued if there will be another episode of this. Haha.


    Above conversation was just purely fictional. The way how the cats speak is based on their daily behaviour towards each other. Meow always beat Kat Kat up and always bad mouthing and cursing her. Meow is quite bitchy when she is angry though angelic sweet 90% of the time. Kat on the other hand is a cat of few words or meows but with a weird vibe. Poor Kat. She had suffered a serious concoction when it was a little kitten. Something is wrong with her cat brain.

    Love Story: When the night falls and ....I am all alone.

    When the night falls and ....I am all alone.


    My dear,

    Do you remember that night?
    When it was raining so heavily and we were both wet and shivering?
    Somehow the Moon was shining so brightly in the background.
    And I saw that softness in your eyes.
    I tried to talk to you, but no words came out.
    Maybe you have hoped that I won't say it right out. So I don't.
    I am not sure about you, but the chill of the rain did not cool down my burning face.
    My beating heart is so charged with strong sensation and feelings that I am not sure how did I ever manage to suppress it.

    Every moment, every single time when I am with you...

    Words keep running through my head and wishing, wishing, wishing...

    To tell you how I feel, how I miss you
    .

    And how...

    I love you despite my broken heart.
    And how I need you in my life.
    And especially how much I want you.
    But those words may forever stay in my heart, locked inside.

    Then again, I couldn't help wonder, what if...I gather up enough courage to say it...
    What if we cross that thin little thread?
    What will become of us?

    Sometimes I wonder if there are words locked inside you too... but I'll never know.


    Maybe I don't want to know.

    The truth maybe too scary to be revealed.

    What is Love?

    Love love love.
    Whether you are young or old, guy or girl, straight/gay/lesbian, every where you look : On the TV, magazines, books, movies, Dramas, journals, blogs, radio, daily conversation, countless online dating/matching/be friends applications....what else?
    It is simply everywhere.
    Everyone is talking about love, waiting for love, looking for love and hopefully have love.

    What is Love?

    Definition:
    1. A deep, tender, ineffable feeling of affection and solicitude toward a person, such as that arising from kinship, recognition of attractive qualities, or a sense of underlying oneness.
    2. A feeling of intense desire and attraction toward a person with whom one is disposed to make a pair; the emotion of sex and romance.

    From dear Wiki:

    Love is any of a number of emotions and experiences related to a sense of strong affection.

    The word love can refer to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from generic pleasure ("I loved that meal") to intense interpersonal attraction ("I love my girlfriend"). This diversity of meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, even compared to other emotional states.

    As an abstract concept, love usually refers to a deep, ineffable feeling of tenderly caring for another person. Even this limited conception of love, however, encompasses a wealth of different feelings, from the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love to the nonsexual emotional closeness of familial and Platonic love[2] to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love.

    Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships.

    An interesting factor I have always find amusing is the
    Chemical Basis of LOVE:


    When people are experiencing Love, the chemicals that are present in the brain might be involved. These chemicals include: nerve growth factor, testosterone, estrogen, dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, oxytocin, and vasopressin.
    For both human male and female sexual behavior, adequate brain levels of testosterone seem important.

    According to Slater's research,chemically the serotonin effects of being in love have a similar chemical appearance to obsessive-compulsive disorder; which could explain why a person in love cannot think of anyone else. Not only that some of them are utterly blind too.

    The long-term attachment felt after the initial "in love" passionate phase of the relationship ends is related to oxytocin, a chemical released after orgasm. Moreover, novelty triggers attraction. Thus, nerve-racking activities like riding a roller coaster are good on dates. Even working out for several minutes can make one more attracted to other people on account of increased heart rate and other physiological responses.
    Guys who are taking someone out go for a date better choose somewhere that's more 'action', the girl might fall for you. ^^**


    Love comes in many forms, shapes, sizes and may fill any container.
    But,
    Even after all this time
    The sun never says to the earth "you owe me".
    Look what happens with a Love like that!
    - It lights the whole Sky. (Hafiz)
    This is what I think the ultimate of true love.

    Christmas Cleaning. Help from my little babies

    Christmas is right at the corner and what have I been occupying myself with????

    Cleaning up.

    Today my babies are really ' guai' and obedient. They volunteered to help me with our Christmas cleaning. See how cute the way they sit there and look up at me.

    Ok. Very good so let me tell you all what you need to do. Meow Meow go tie up the loose ends.


    Kat Kat put all the books back on shelf.

    My book case after relocated to another side of my room. p/s: I bought 3 of those small cheap book case and stack them up all together to create this 3 tier book case. ^^~~ Easy for moving around.


    Lets get back to work.
    After an hour.... Lalala~~~ My book case is clean and tidy and with a new decoration. Did you spot it??? Personally I love it. ^^~~~


    I love you my baby little kitty cats ~~

    Wonderland: Where have I gone to this time?

    Frankly speaking I really forgot what's the restaurant's name. Some sushi shop in The Garden on the upper floor. It was a really nice satisfying meal. I went there around 7pm on a Tuesday ( weekday) and I happily thought: Yeah~ No crowded space no more waiting in line no jam....But bad news to ignorant me who seldom go out at night on a weekday.

    The office workers: OL and their guys are all very free after work. The sushi place is FULL by the time we sit down for 5 mins!! Amazing. Through our dinner out of the corner of my eyes I can see that a line is getting longer and longer. Luckily we reach here just a tiny bit early to grab a place. Or else....I would hate to stand in line for meal. My hunger never waits. I the lousy type that once hungry = bad mood. My gastirc juice always seem to be over-produced.

    Yummy! Food is here.
    Teri Yaki Beef~ Delicious but portion so small.-_-


    Sweet sashimi!!
    Cute little round prawn sushi.

    Salmon sushi roll. I like this restaurant's sushi very creative, tasty and really catch your eyes. Forgot to bring my cam thus got this poor quality pic from hp cam. My hp is a super cheap lousy hp which is super durable.


    Random: Out of boredom..


    Hello everyone. This my new boy friend. Charlie.
    Pretend to bite on the humerus like a doggy. Though some friends said look like I am blowing flute. Haha~


    Hehehe~~ I got a new fancy fan.

    This is what happened after a few hours of studying in medical museum results.

    One great news. Hurrah~~ We are getting a holiday on this comign Thursday!! yeah~~ All lecturers are not free and seminar postponed. So we got one free day to study, rest and prepare for Friday test.

    One sad news.
    Dr. MK the pathologist is leaving us... sad. He is the only 'happy-go-lucky' and more relax guy around. The rest of the lecturers are kind of in a gloomy and depressing mood. He told us :" ALways be happy in everything you do." I strongly agree with him. Some times after a while the stress and load seem just to pull you down deeper and deeper in to seriousness. You just lost your smile and energy. Myabe it is our batch or what. Everyone seem to be kind of in the same mood as the weather: Rainy and gloomy dark.

    Time to relax and let down our hair and go a bit crazy~ Time to recharge. Oh...What should I do during the Christmas holiday^^~

    Tomorrow morning got this annual meeting...got to go to bed now...

    Uni-sex T-Shirt? Guy or Girl everyone can wear.

    SO the story goes like this....Once upon not too long ago, Tiffany bought a new pink t-shirt. It got a really cute monster on it. Since she has been wearing formal and dull colours everyday, it is a nice change.

    Tonight I wore my new pink t-shirt to have dinner with the gang.

    First thing Small Brian ( our batch got 2 Brians, one small one big named according to size. )see me is :" EH!!!! I have the same t-shirt!!" I am like NO way!!! It is too cute! Although that....shop keeper did said their t-shirt all uni-sex but.................................................Then Brian ended up being teased by everyone till he wanna give me his shirt. Doubt it. He said he looks very man when he wore it. Maybe next time we should wear it together and have a photo session.

    The stylish Brian with his leather jacket, diamond earring and Playboy bunny necklace.

    Tiffany: Dear Brian, please do not kill me when we have clinical next time.

    A long Day of Outing. Tired but Happy (*^-^*)

    It is always very sweet to recall nice moments in life. Memories memories.
    A big warm warm hug with my very own Teddy Bear dear. (*^-^*)

    Bright sunshine ~ Some day some where some time ago. Love this top, the colour is really cute and bright.
    My new bag bag that looks like all cover up with cops webs. Anyone can guess where am I? ^^~
    Went to my friends' place ~ Haha~ Neh~~ it is IKEA. One of my favourite window shopping place for NOW. Saving money now to buy whole new furniture for my new place soon. Sigh...When can I start decorating my little apartment? I am into urban chip + country comfort style. Simple, clean, ultra- modern and multi-functional.

    Nice cupboards. Love it. My house is full of this too.

    My fat brother who refuse to show his face. Oh well...
    Cheers~ Christmas is coming. Should we get some this crystal glasses dear? I really like the shiny heart-shaped decorations. You can hang it around the glasses. It looks so much more festive!!
    Lala~~ Dinner time at my all time favourite place : Italiannies.

    First we are served with: Vinegar + olive oil and bread.

    Love these bottles. Classic old time home cook feel.

    This cover reminds me of that Rat Chef Cartoon 1-2 years ago. Pasta pasta!! Yummy.

    " Darling, say Ah~~." I always give the first bite of any food to him. Eh...dear has been feeding me too well all the time. -_-''' my double fat chin!!! Never mind lah~ According to Chinese women with a bit of double chin means: Good fortune and have good food the whole life.

    Had a little try of this: Mango + Rum cocktail after dinner. Not too bad. Got a bit high and my face was so hot. Too long never try anything alcoholic.

    Ham and cheese~ My brother ordered this one. According to him it is way too little even though it is enough for 2.

    Too yummy and hungry eat till half way then remember oops ...forget to take a pic. Seafood marinara sauce based pasta with lots and lots of tomato.


    Some of my purchases from IKEA:

    Quit being a shopping queen already, should save up money and not anyhow spend. My room is getting fuller and fuller everyday. Must really really remind myself not to buy anything decorative anymore.

    This 'dog-toy' reminds me so much of Kat kat, I took it up and brought it home. But somehow I got conned by IKEA. According to the price tag is RM23 but didn't know is actually RM56 almost fainted. So this black furry thing end up on my floor. The cats are never going to be able to use it. This rug got the same yellow eyes, black thick fine fur and tail as KAt Kat. ^^~ So cute. This few days whenever I turn my head around my room I always got this 'feeling' that Kat Kat is in the room.
    Little powder blue stool. No actual function but great to have it. For stacking my books on top.


    Plastic Boxes!! I have been eyeing these ever since. Finally got them now. Next time I am getting another one. It is so useful for organizing your tiny items around the room and look so pretty.
    One of the most useful purchase: Cat bowls. Rm2 each. Cheap and nice. Now the cats won't be able to over turn their bowls as they speed around the living room.


    I got something that cost: RM 0.00. Don't believe me? Look closer. It is true. FOC.

    A free t-shirt along with my other purchase. Not too bad.

    Finally found my little make up bag that's cute and can fit everything in. Love it. I love this cute poker dots. I got another bigger pouch too for travelling.

    I have always been thinking why did I start writing a blog? I did not do it to earn money nor to gain fame. I just like to record down my life or share some interesting stuff with my friends. Meet some new people who share the same interests with me.

    My life is a phase that's a bit dull, monotonous. Everyday go to Uni, study, do PBL, go CSU, go hospital, study, sleep, eat, sometime go out shop shop, enjoy good food, have fun hanging out with friends. Simple and nice. World economic down turn is catching on with everyone slowly. Life maybe is a harship for some people. So people out there. Be Thankful of what you have and who you are.

    About my blog,some People just love to get the wrong message or impression all the time. Or bend truths to their own way to gain things or defame you. Lousy lousy low people with no life. I feel pity for them sometimes. Life is so full of interesting things to do. So many new people to meet, new places to explore. If someone is unhappy that I am enjoying life so much and having so much. I am so sorry for you. You should go find your own life and should never be bother with others' life. Your own unhappiness or discontent will continue till the day you die anyway. It is all in your head. You are the one choose to be unhappy and be affected by other people's happiness. Jealousy, discontent etc all negative thoughts will just eat you up alive.

    Who suffers? YOU.

    And who cares? Nobody.
