King of the World

At popular demand, here comes the current updates of the pussy cat news.
The cats have been well and alive and getting fatter and fatter. I tried to limit their food intake but somehow or other someone will think that the cats haven't had their meal yet and give them an extra bite.

Normal Sunday afternoon in the life of a fat Kat Kat. What is it up to?

As usual. Sleep, eat, roll a bit, get pissed off, sleep, eat, roll around, get pissed off and sleep.

I can plainly see that Kat Kat is thinking :" I am king of the world."

From its expression: " I am pissed off. Get lost."

Kat Kat:" What is it you want?"

Kat Kat:" So?"
Kat Kat pissed off face. Haha. I just think it is such a pity. Maybe Kat Kat is never pissed maybe it is just its natural facial expression with the congenital pissed off face. Its born with it!

Huge cat and my feet. See how big it is . It practically spill over the normal plastic stool.


Oh........I am just so busy with everything. That's why no updates for a long time. Wait till my exams are over then I will be free to update daily. ^^...

My Occasional Struck of Artist in Me.

When study till half way, I will do something to calm myself down from the nervousness and stress. This time I just somehow fancy doing some paintings and drawings. I am really rusty from this sort of thing after so many years. Certainly my skill has become so bad that I feel very sad.......... As long long time ago, I always score the top in Arts when in school and I can paint such great water colours. Now I realize I forgot all the skills and I can't even paint well at all.

Guess my dream to be a Comic artist haven't been smashed yet. I can still draw a bit but not paint. Haha.
Some how I don't have the patient anymore to slowly paint and layer the colours on anymore. I used to spend 2-3 days painting one painting. Now...10mins I also feel agitated. Time changed and I changed too.

My favourite soft toys at the moment. I am sure those who reads my blog may recognize them.

Great BUy

Hello. Everyone. I AM Happy today though it didn't start so well. Got waken up by mum's call and asked to run errant all the way downtown early in the morning. The DHL in Jalan Sultan Ismail Suppose to be open on SUnday is CLOSED!!! XXX ( think of something to curse). The Sun is bright and shiny and .....It felt like desert. I called the DHL service center again. The guy informed me they are suppose to be open. I am staring blankly at the Yellow Board with Operating Hour on the top: Sunday -- CLOSED.

So who can tell me what is happening? The DHL guy answered maybe closed for CNY. Yeah right, CNY has passed and what I saw hanging at the gate is not a special notice for CNY. It is a sign board that always has been hanging there. They Simple just don't work on Sunday. Luckily there is another DHL service pick up point at Pavilion. Yeah~~~ ( Then I found out they never pick up anything on Sunday, it is might as well I send it on Monday. But anyone it is one item off my To-Do list. )

While on the way out I pass through Espirit and just have a look before I head to the taxi stand. And to my great surprise at the Special mark down rack.... I found something that fits me!! Usually some of the nicer designs are all out of size except the tiny mini XS or XL.

The following are my purchases done within 10mins.
The basic colours and designs that can last forever and never go out of fashion. Haha... I can't be fashionable nowadays as I never got the chance to wear them much and before I know it... fashion is out. So better stick with the basics.

Though Espirit may be a bit pricy at times but the quality speak for itself. Some other brands like MNG or ZARA really depends on what you buy. The quality really sucks for some t-shirts that cost Rm100 or more. One wash in washing machine and gone............
But this the quality is not bad. Tough, durable and can withstand the hush condition of washing machine. Lazy me who hate to wash by hand. :P

Look at the amazing mark down. I feel very good and satisfied when I can find some thing I like and at a great discount.

Tata for now...I will update soon.

I Got a PSP for my Birthday!!

Wow....Nice. Super Milkio in PSP!! Wait a minute. No.....it is not. This is too thin~~~~~~~And the brand is Sunny not the original Sony. -_-.....

Ok. What a surprise Birthday card from my dear friend. I absolutely love it. Though I may not have a PSP, I never miss it. But it is great to have this PSP-look-alike card. It is on my table for display.Thanks, Muacks. Lots of kisses from Tiffany.

I am kind of sick of Hall Mark simple classy cards already. Kind of dull, so it is really refreshing to have something different for a change. But....oops......I shouldn't be complaining about what kind of present people are giving me.

Birthday saga to be continue....

p/s: no mood to celebrate .............................

GoodBye My Dear, I can't live with out you.

Maybe it is true after all. Women do have very intense relationship with their shoes. Ask a middle age lady please describe your first boy friend in detail. Many will not even remember the name. But the lady will always remember the first pair of shoes she bought with her own money. ( Read it from some article).

Good bye my dear little pair of silver ballet shoes. I will miss you dearly. Even you are so rotten, smelly, stinky and falling apart soon. I still won't want to let you go. I pick these up from road side stall in Taiwan last year. Cost only Rm20. But this is the best shoes of the year. Comfy, soft, easy to wear and goes well any clothing. From formal to casual, skirt to pants. Simply everything. I wonder when will I ever be able to find back a pair of shoes like this. But....now I have to let it go. Old ones don't go news ones won't come. I am moving soon. I don't have space to keep old shoes I don't wear..... Sob sob sob..........I am so sad to say Goodbye to this little pair of shoes. I will miss you dearly my shoes.


So now I am going shoes shopping.....Hope to find another pair of great shoes. ^^~~~

Mittelschmerz what? !

That day suddenly came across this word which I hardly pronounce and very surprised to find out its true meaning.

Mittleschmerz...tongue twister.

Mittelschmerz (German: "middle pain") is a medical term for "ovulation pain" or "midcycle pain". About 20% of women experience mittelschmerz, some every cycle, some intermittently.

This pain occurs during ovulation—the midpoint between menstrual periods, about 2 weeks before a period may begin. The discomfort can appear on either side of the lower abdomen depending on which ovary is producing the ovum (egg). Pain can be on one side of the abdomen one month and switch to the opposite side during the following cycle.Most of the time, it is a mild annoyance. In rare instances, it can be unbearable.

What? Meaning 20% of women = 2/10 girls will have this?
When you are half way through the month suddenly you felt :" Eh...Pain in my pubic region. Ah...my egg is popping out from my ovary." type of thing???
This is a really amazing and extraordinary human physiology.Guess it will come in handy if you are getting ready to make a baby.

Imaginary scenario:
Wife:" Oh~~~ Darling! I felt a sharp pain just now. I think is my egg popping out. This is the middle of the month too. Let's faster come make baby before the egg slip away~~"
Husband:" Yes. Madam."

Hhaahhaha.........That's so funny.

Ok. It is really till today then I find out about this. Must keep in mind and next time any patient come in I can explain what is going on.

Causes

Mittelschmerz is believed to have a variety of causes:

• Follicular swelling: The swelling of follicles in the ovaries prior to ovulation. While only one or two eggs mature to the point of being released, a number of follicles grow during the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle (non-dominant follicles atrophy prior to ovulation). Because follicles develop on both sides, this theory explains mittelschmerz that occurs simultaneously on both sides of the abdomen.^[2]

• Ovarian wall rupture: The ovaries have no openings; at ovulation the egg breaks through the ovary's wall. This may make ovulation itself painful for some women.^[2]

• Fallopian tube contraction: After ovulation, the fallopian tubes contract (similar to peristalsis of the esophagus), which may cause pain in some women.^[1]

• Smooth muscle cell contraction: At ovulation, this pain may be related to smooth muscle cell contraction in the ovary as well as in its ligaments. These contractions occur in response to an increased level of prostaglandin F2-alpha, itself mediated by the surge of luteinizing hormone (LH).^[3]

• Irritation: At the time of ovulation, blood or other fluid is released from the ruptured egg follicle. This fluid may cause irritation of the abdominal lining.^[1][2]

Mittelschmerz Symptoms

Pain associated with mittelschmerz may take on various forms:

• Pain occurs on one side of the lower abdomen (can be either side).
  
  
• Pain occurs midway between menstrual periods (during ovulation).
  
  
• Pain can occur every month.
  
  
• Pain lasts anywhere from a few hours to 2-3 days.

Happy Birthday to Moi~

Happy Birthday to Me , Happy Birthday to Me.... Hahaha. This is the first time I ever post anything about my own birthday. Hope one year older, one year wiser and All my Wishes Come true!!

On this day 7th February, many many years ago. A little girl was born in the freezing cold winter. My mum had complained that she got to use icy cold water to wash all the baby stuffs. That was when my parents were young, just moved to a new place. Technology was no good, you don't have electric water heater. Got to use gas water heater that you need to wait a long time before anything comes out.

Dad secretly told me that I almost drove my mum crazy as I had cried for 40 days straight from day 1. Anyway after that I became the best baby ever. I never cry much there after. Even when I fall or cut my little fingers, I never cry. (*^-^*)<<<<

Once again here we are celebrating my birthday. Though as I am older I don't really anticipated huge noisy parties like that. I prefer a quiet dinner in a great atmosphere a few good friends we sit down and have a nice meal and a toast of many happy returns.

Birthday Special Funny Faces. Purty lips.

Puffy Cheeks.
Haha.. More updates to come about my little birthday celebrations. To be continue.....

長恨歌

白居易

漢皇重色思傾國，	御宇多年求不得。
楊家有女初長成，	養在深閨人未識。
天生麗質難自棄，	一朝選在君王側。
回眸一笑百媚生，	六宮粉黛無顏色。
春寒賜浴華清池，	溫泉水滑洗凝脂。
侍兒扶起嬌無力，	始是新承恩澤時。
雲鬢花顏金步搖，	芙蓉帳暖度春宵。
春宵苦短日高起，	從此君王不早朝。
承歡侍宴無閒暇，	春從春遊夜專夜。
後宮佳麗三千人，	三千寵愛在一身。
金屋妝成嬌侍夜，	玉樓宴罷醉和春。
姊妹兄弟皆列土，	可憐光彩生門戶。
遂令天下父母心，	不重生男重生女。
驪宮高處入青雲，	仙樂風飄處處聞。
緩歌慢舞凝絲竹，	盡日君王看不足。
漁陽鼙鼓動地來，	驚破霓裳羽衣曲。
九重城闕煙塵生，	千乘萬騎西南行。
翠華颻颻行復止，	西出都門百餘里。
六軍不發無奈何，	宛轉蛾眉馬前死。
花鈿委地無人收，	翠翹金雀玉搔頭。
君王掩面救不得，	回看血淚相和流。
黃埃散漫風蕭索，	雲棧縈紆登劍閣。
峨嵋山下少人行，	旌旗無光日色薄。
蜀江水碧蜀山青，	聖主朝朝暮暮情。
行宮見月傷心色，	夜雨聞鈴腸斷聲。
天旋日轉回龍馭，	到此躊躇不能去。
馬嵬坡下泥土中，	不見玉顏空死處。
君臣相顧盡霑衣，	東望都門信馬歸。
歸來池苑皆依舊，	太液芙蓉未央柳。
芙蓉如面柳如眉，	對此如何不淚垂。
春風桃李花開日，	秋雨梧桐葉落時。
西宮南內多秋草，	落葉滿階紅不掃。
梨園弟子白髮新，	椒房阿監青娥老。
夕殿螢飛思悄然，	孤燈挑盡未成眠。
遲遲鐘鼓初長夜，	耿耿星河欲曙天。
鴛鴦瓦冷霜華重，	翡翠衾寒誰與共。
悠悠生死別經年，	魂魄不曾來入夢。
臨邛道士鴻都客，	能以精誠致魂魄。
為感君王輾轉思，	遂教方士殷勤覓。
排雲馭氣奔如電，	昇天入地求之遍。
上窮碧落下黃泉，	兩處茫茫皆不見。
忽聞海上有仙山，	山在虛無縹緲間。
樓閣玲瓏五雲起，	其中綽約多仙子。
中有一人字太真，	雪膚花貌參差是。
金闕西廂叩玉扃，	轉教小玉報雙成。
聞道漢家天子使，	九華帳裏夢魂驚。
攬衣推枕起徘徊，	珠箔銀屏迤邐開。
雲髻半偏新睡覺，	花冠不整下堂來。
風吹仙袂飄颻舉，	猶似霓裳羽衣舞。
玉容寂寞淚闌干，	梨花一枝春帶雨。
含情凝睇謝君王，	一別音容兩渺茫。
昭陽殿裏恩愛絕，	蓬萊宮中日月長。
回頭下望人寰處，	不見長安見塵霧。
唯將舊物表深情，	鈿合金釵寄將去。
釵留一股合一扇，	釵擘黃金合分鈿。
但教心似金鈿堅，	天上人間會相見。
臨別殷勤重寄詞，	詞中有誓兩心知。
七月七日長生殿，	夜半無人私語時。
在天願作比翼鳥，	在地願為連理枝。
天長地久有時盡，	此恨綿綿無絕期。

長恨歌賞析

---

「長 恨歌」是白居易詩作中膾炙人口的名篇，作於元和元年（八○六），當時詩人正在今陝西同至縣任縣尉。這首詩是他和友人陳鴻、王質夫同遊仙遊寺，有感於唐玄 宗、楊貴妃的故事而創作的。在這首長篇敘事詩裡，作者以精煉的語言，優美的形象，敘事和抒情結合的手法，敘述了唐玄宗、楊貴妃在安史之亂中的愛情悲劇：他 們的愛情被自己釀成的叛亂斷送了 ， 正在沒完沒了地吃著這一精神的苦果。唐玄宗、楊貴妃都是歷史上的人物，詩人並不拘泥於歷史，而是借著歷史的一點影子，根據當時人們的傳說，街坊的歌唱，從 中蛻化出一個回旋曲折、宛轉動人的故事，用回環往復、纏綿悱惻的藝術術形式，描摹、歌詠出來。由於詩中的故事、人物都是藝術化的，是現實中人的複雜真實的 再現，所以能夠在歷代讀者的心中漾起陣陣漣漪。 「長恨歌」就是歌「長恨」，「長恨」是詩歌的主題，故事的焦點，也是埋在詩裡的一顆牽動人心的種子。而「恨」什麼，為什麼要「長恨」，詩人不是直接舖敘、抒寫出來，而是通過他筆下詩化的故事，一層一層地展示給讀者，讓人們自己去揣摸，去回味，去感受。 詩 歌開卷第一句：「漢皇重色思傾國」，看來很尋常，好像故事原就應該從這裡寫起，不需要作者花什麼心思似的，事實上這七個字含量極大，是全篇綱領，它既揭示 了故事的悲劇因素，又喚起和統領著全詩。緊接著，詩人用極其省儉的語言，敘述了安史之亂前唐玄宗如何重色、求色，終於得到了「回眸一笑百媚生，六宮粉黛無 顏色」的楊貴妃。描寫了楊貴妃的美貌、嬌媚，進宮後因有色而得寵，不但自己「新承恩澤」，而且「妙妹弟兄皆列土」。反覆渲染唐玄宗得貴妃以後在宮中如何縱 欲，如何行樂，如何終日沉湎於歌舞酒色之中。所有這些，就釀成了安史之亂：「漁陽鼙鼓動地來，驚破霓裳羽衣曲」。這一部分寫出了「長恨 」的內因，是悲劇故事的基礎。詩人通過這一段宮中生活的寫實，不無諷刺地向我們介紹了故事的男女主人公：一個重色輕國的帝王，一個嬌媚恃寵的妃子。還形象地暗示我們，唐玄宗的迷色誤國，就是這一悲劇的根源。 下面，詩人具體地描述了安史之亂發生後，皇帝兵馬倉皇逃入西南的情景，特別是在這一動亂中唐玄宗和楊貴妃愛情的毀滅。「六軍不發無奈何，宛轉蛾眉馬前死。花鈿委地無人收，翠翹金雀玉搔頭。君王掩面救不得，回看血淚相和流。」 寫 的就是他們在馬嵬坡生離死別的一幕。「六軍不發」，要求處死楊貴妃，是憤於唐玄宗迷戀女色，禍國殃民。楊貴妃的死，在整個故事中，是一個關鍵性的情節，在 這之後，他們的愛情才成為一場悲劇。接著，行「黃埃散漫風蕭索」起至「魂魄不曾來入夢」，詩人抓住了人物精神世界裡揪心的「恨」，用酸惻動人的語調，宛轉 形容和描述了楊貴妃死後唐玄宗在蜀中的寂寞悲傷，還都路上的追懷憶舊，回宮以後睹物思人，觸景生情，一年四季物是人非事事休的種種感觸。纏綿悱惻的相思之 情，使人覺得迴腸蕩氣。正由於詩人把人物的感情渲染到這樣的程度，後面道士的到來，仙境的出現，便給人一種真實感，不以為純粹是一種空中樓閣了。 從 「臨邛道士鴻都客」至詩的末尾，寫道士幫助唐玄宗尋找楊貴妃。詩人採用的是浪漫主義的手法，忽而上天，忽而入地，「上窮碧落下黃泉，兩處茫茫皆不見。」後 來，在海上虛無縹緲的仙山上找到了楊貴妃，讓她以「玉容寂寞淚闌干，梨花一枝春帶雨」的形象在仙境中再現，殷勤迎接漢家的使者，含情脈脈，托物寄詞，重申 前誓，照應唐玄宗對她的思念，進一步深化、渲染「長恨」的主題。詩歌的末尾，用「天長地久有時盡，此恨綿綿無絕期」結筆，點明題旨，回應開頭，而且做到 「清音有餘」，給讀者以聯想、回味的餘地。 「長 恨歌」首先給我們藝術美的享受的是詩中那個宛轉動人的故事，是詩歌精巧獨特的藝術構思。全篇中心是歌「長恨」，但詩人卻從「重色」說起，並且予以極力舖寫 和渲染。「日高起」、「不早朝」、「夜專夜」、「看不足」等等，看來是樂到了極點，像是一幕喜劇，然而，極度的樂，正反襯出後面無窮無盡的恨。唐玄宗的荒 淫誤國，引出了政治上的悲劇，反過來又導致了他和楊貴妃的愛情悲劇。 悲劇的製造者最後成為悲劇的主人公，這是故事的特殊、曲折處，也是詩中男女主人公之所以要「長恨」的原因。過去許多人說「長恨歌」有諷喻的意味，這首詩的諷喻意味就在這裡 。 那麼詩人又是如何表現「長恨」的呢?馬嵬坡楊貴妃之死一場，詩人刻劃極其細膩，把唐玄宗那種不忍割愛但又欲救不得的內心矛盾和痛苦感情，都具體形象地表現 出來了。由於這「血淚相和流」的死別，才會有那沒完沒了的恨。隨後，詩人用許多筆墨從各個方面反覆渲染唐玄宗對楊貴妃的思念，但詩歌的故事情節並沒有停止 在一個感情上，而是隨著人物內心世界的層層展示，感應他的景物的不斷變化把時間和故事向前推移，用人物的思想感情來開拓和推動情節的發展。唐玄宗奔蜀，是 在死別之後，內心十分酸楚愁慘，還都路上，舊地重經，又勾起了傷心的回憶，回宮後，白天睹物傷情，夜晚輾轉難眠。日思夜想而不得，所以寄希望於夢境，卻又 是「悠悠生死別經年，魂魄不曾來入夢」。詩至此，已經把「長恨」之「恨」寫得十分動人心魄，故事到此結束似乎也可以。然而詩人筆鋒一折，別開境界，借助想 像的彩翼，構思了一個嫵媚動人的仙境，把悲劇故事的情節推向高潮，使故事更加迴環曲折，有起伏，有波瀾。這一轉折，既出人意料，又盡在情理之中。由於主觀 願望和客觀現實不斷發生矛盾、碰撞，詩歌把人物千迴百轉的心理表現得淋漓盡致，故事也因此而顯得更為宛轉動人。 「長 恨歌」是一首抒情成份很濃的敘事詩，詩人在敘述故事和人物塑造上，採用了我國傳統詩歌擅長的抒寫手法，將敘事、寫景和抒情和諧地結合在一起，形成詩歌抒情 上迴環往復的特點。詩人時而把人物的思想感情注入景物，用景物的折光來烘托人物的心境，時而抓住人物周圍富有特徵性的景物、事物，通過人物對它們的感受來 表現內心的感情，層層渲染，恰如其分的表達人物蘊蓄在內心深處的難達之情。唐玄宗逃往西南的路上，四處是黃塵、棧道、黃山、日色暗淡，旌旗無光，秋景淒 涼，這是以悲涼的秋景來烘托人物的悲思。在蜀地，面對著青山綠水，還是朝夕不能忘情，蜀中的山山水水原是很美的，但是在寂寞悲哀的唐玄宗眼中，那山的 「青」，水的「碧」，也都惹人傷心，大自然的美應該有恬靜的心境也才享受，他卻沒有，所以就更增加了內心的痛苦。這是透過美景來寫哀情，使感情又深入一 層。行宮中的月色，雨夜裡的鈴聲，本來就很人撩人意緒，詩人抓住這些尋常但是富有特徵性的事物，把人帶進傷心、斷腸的境界，再加上那一見一聞，一色一聲， 互相交錯，在語言上、聲調上也表現出人物內心的愁苦淒清，這又是一層。還都路上，「天旋地轉」，本來是高興的事，但舊地重過，玉顏不見，不由傷心淚下。敘 事中，又增加了一層痛苦的回憶。回長安後，「歸來池苑皆依舊，太液芙蓉未央柳。芙蓉如面柳如眉，對此如何不淚垂」。白日裡，由於環境和景物的觸發，從景物 聯想到人，景物依舊，人卻不在了，禁不住就潸然淚下，從太液池的芙蓉花首未央宮的重柳彷彿看到了楊貴妃的容貌，展示了人物極其複雜微妙的內心活動。「夕殿 螢飛思稍然，孤燈挑盡未成眠。遲遲鐘鼓初長夜，耿耿星河欲曙天」。從黃昏寫到黎明，集中地表現了夜間被情思縈繞久久不能入睡的情景。這種苦苦的思戀，「春 風桃李花開日」是這樣，「秋雨梧桐葉落時」也是這樣。及至看到當年的「梨園弟子」、「阿監青娥」都已白髮衰顏，更勾引起對往日歡娛的思念，自是黯然神傷。 從黃埃散漫到蜀山青青 ， 從行宮夜雨到凱旋回歸，從白日到黑夜，從春天到秋天，處處觸物傷情，時時睹物思人，從各方面反覆渲染詩中主人公的苦苦追求和尋覓。現實生活中找不到，到夢 中去找，夢中找不到，又到仙境中去找。如此跌宕迴環，層層渲染，使人物感情迴旋上升，達到了高潮。詩人正是通過這樣的層層渲染，反覆抒情，迴環往復，讓人 物的思想感情蘊蓄得更深邃豐富，使詩歌「肌理細膩」，更富有藝術的感染力。 作為一首千古絕唱的敘事詩，「長恨歌」在藝術上的成就是很高的。加往今來，許多人都肯定這首詩的特殊的藝術魅力。「長恨歌」在藝術上以什麼感染和誘惑讀者呢?宛轉動人，纏綿悱惻，恐怕是它最大的藝術個性，也是它能吸住千百年來的讀者，使他自受感染、被誘惑的的力量。

我說：

這古老的詩詞經過了漫長的歲月依然美麗。 不禁讓人感嘆，如此詩詞沒人可分享。
千江有水千江月，萬里無云萬里天。
數千個的江河上要數千個月亮照亮，
雲朵消散的萬里内都是藍天。。。 今夜的月亮是如此皎潔。 不知你是否也在看呢？

Some where in the Middle of One Utama

Morning everyone. Hope everyone had a nice weekend. I had a good rest thanks to Thaipusam. I am not procrastinating. Nor am I being lazy I am just taking a break from the pile of notes and books. I have had a very intense session with the muscles, bones and nerves. Oh no...not nerve yet. Nerve is elusive not as down to earth as bones and more complicated than muscles. I am oblige to stay at my desk and study. Even a whiff of creamy New York cheese cake is not going to tempt me out. ..woe is me!

Since I didn't go anywhere, let us update about the past. I went to One Utama some month ago. Yes. Before my hair was chopped off by the merciless hair dresser declaring my ends are too dead to be kept on my head. Fine....But not so short as I can't even tie it up into my signature pony tail. -_-.... I think this was sometime before Xmas. Friend and I we went to try out a shop that has always been luring us ever since. I can't recall the name but I just know and guess everyone will know what I mean. The shop with tables and seats right in the center and with a huge wooden swing in the middle. Oh...gosh...I don't have a pic of the whole shop just part of the shop. This place is near the cinema.

My beautiful long hair before chopped off. Sob sob. When will I get to have again?
MeowMeow: Maybe in a few months time.
Me: OMG............so long. Its like forever.

Turn back and give a pathetic smile. Pls ignore my anemic pallor face... I haven't been having my proper human meals lately. Haha...

Miss my long fringe.
Lamb. We always thought this is some Arabian or exotic restaurant due to this dish. But it turn out to be local delicacies.

Curry fish?
Me in 2009. February is here. My birthday is coming. As we aged I wonder is it that fun to celebrate one's birthday? Just one year older and physically weaker, lost of calcium, lower metabolism. 20 something is the prime of life but I feel tired and aged. Then older people will say that's because you are young that's why you feel you are old. Old people feel nothing. Ok. What I like the most about birthday is get to make a wish and blow the candle. Hehe. Hope my wish come true.

Guess everyone is too busy with exam to remember my birthday. I guess my parents forget too. They forgot cleanly about it ever since I past 18. That's the last birthday I ever had a celebration at home. Maybe it is their way of announcing I am grown up but not freedom. Chinese culture is different from western. Chinese is forever keeping kids in while the western is kicking the kids out asap.

Where Food Start to Invade Our desk.

One you wake up, grab the Starbucks coffee cup on the table. Instead of coffee, you start spitting out strips of paper. Yucks. You forgot you just changed your table paper bin into the Starbucks look-alike recycle trash bin.. It is so realistic it even has the coffee stain at the side of it.

After playing DOTA or some fantastic online game for 24 hours straight. Sometimes, don't trust your eyes and touch too much. You may look up from the computer screen at the window and realize it is Morning and you are a bit hungry. You just got back from a long, exhausting war. Right in front of you there are 2 long sausages and an egg. You have no idea when or how it is there. Maybe mum or GF so kind to prepare some for you? Maybe you were too busy fighting you never even noticed before. Don't come to a conclusion so fast! Who will be so nice and kind and cook stuff for a guy that just ignore them ( the girls) for one whole day. Instead of go dating the guy went on a whole day campaign with the online friends. It will certainly serve them right if they accidentally swallowed some plastic and cotton by mistake.

Ok. Guess not many ppl will be fooled by this sushi wrist rest. They are certainly very cute. But ....using white towel as a wrist rest : Chances of getting dirt on it is too high. In no time, this whole sushi will be looking like some grey disgusting rotten sushi..... Think it will really be a waste of money to get this as it will spoil very fast.

I guess it maybe a good idea for forewarn your old folks at home about your new displays. They might accidentally do somethings to it as they may not have any idea what the heck is on your table.

Cat poop Chocolate biscuits

Or simple called " Cat Shit" chocolate biscuits. Valentine's day is coming and I am trying out something new for a change. Hand-made chocolate maybe nice.

Maybe I do suck at making cookies, cakes and chocolates. Somehow I am just not friend with melted hot lava-like chocolate. It is so hard to mold it in to the shape I want it to be. Ok....or I should have read up more on how to bake and cook chocolate.

This is " Cat Poop chocolate."

Ingredient : one pack of cooking chocolate, some biscuits and paper holder.

Step: 1. Boil some water, get a pot ( metal) and put into the hot water.
2. Break up the chocolates into pieces and place in the pot which is floating in the hot water.

5. Use spoon or what ever utensil you have to shape the chocolate mixture to your liking.
6. Place them one by one on the plates to cool.
7. Put in fridge for hardening. Then you got your chocolate biscuits.


It is simple and easy but my experiment did not go well. It is my own expectation and preference. I like rich chocolates better. But I got the wrong ingredient when I was in super market. I bought the Giant Rm2.99 cooking chocolate and turn out just as expected. Not nice. Compare to other brands of cooking chocolate which are around Rm7-8, this one is only Rm2.99 of the same size. Quality same as the price too. Chocolate not strong enough and kind of diluted. Do not have the rich creamy milky chocolate taste.

So if you intend to make chocolate and give to a love one I suggest you buy the more expensive cooking chocolates. The taste is more guaranteed. Have fun making chocolates. I am thinking of a new recipe to make better chocolates.
