season of FLU

many many ppl in my office is either coughing, sneezing or sore throat...... it's the season for the virus to spread.... and this time it can spread easily since this "ppl" is coughing a lot...as in A LOT....

i mean i do pity them but hey! if they still come into office while they are still "virus infected", i would suggest to them it's better for them to get MC and rest at home... no point to spread it around in the office and caused everyone else to fall sick...rite?

but thanks to green tea, i am still "healthy"... hopefully it will help to build up my body immune.. at least enuf to fight off those "flu viruses"..... so, guys...... time to stock-in green tea & include it in your daily diet... it helps ya....

dinner no.2

last saturday, i had the oppurtunity to cook for hubby & my in-laws again... for the second time... the menu is almost the same as the first time except that this time, i increased the cooking difficulty... what i mean is that this 2nd time, i actually cut chicken..... as in i had to cut the chicken thigh into smaller cuts... it is really really "susah" to cut the chicken thigh... i had to chop it so many times and there were times when after chopping it, i still hv to use the scissors to cut it off....

menu:

fried egg with tomato
stir-fry cabbage with dried shrimps
pan fried chicken(marinated with black soya sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, abalone sauce & sugar)

the result:

egg not so tasty according to hubby coz the tomato is not soft enough
vege quite tasty according to hubby & in-laws(of course lah coz i put in a lot of dried shrimps)
chicken oklor... got taste oso... just that the chicken cut sizes vary(small, big, bigger.... hehehe)

Movie with hubby

It’s very rare that hubby & I will watch movie at cinema on a WEEKDAY… and yup! We did that yesterday when we went to SUMMIT, Subang & watched the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN 2– Dead Man’s Chest….

Why on a Wednesday to watch movie? Cheaper mah….. movie ticket only RM 6 per person… plus no time to go shopping(so, no need to spend so much)….. parking oso cheaper… hehehe….

Hmmm… after getting married, it’s fun to go “pak thor” again once in a while… it is a different feeling compare to dating time…. So, to you guys out there(whether married or going to get married soon)….. remember to invite your spouse / spouse to be for a movie date ya…. Don’t care what day it is….ok? and to those singles, get a gang of good friends and go for a movie date too!

Back to the movie, it was entertaining to watch Captain Jack Sparrow again… we had a great laugh especially watching him & his gang escaping from those tribes…. I mean, Johnny Depp is really funny with his actions… he no need to do stunts or a lot of action to make the movie interesting……. i just love the way he acted out as Captain Jack Sparrow……. The so call captain of the BLACK PEARL ship…..

Our review for this movie: ☆☆☆☆ out of 5

yummy MILO jelly

i tested out this jelly recipe last weekend when i was suddenly in the mood to make two packets of jelly.... one pack was the normal sunkist orange flavour and guess what? as for the other pack, i tried the MILO flavour.... the comment from hubby/ "ji mui" was NOT BAD... quite delicous actually but will taste better without puting in the NATA DE COCO....

cooking

for the very first time in my life that i actually cook rice as in "masak nasi"... and this include a very very simple dinner.... mind you but b4 i got married, i actually hv the privillege to have my mum cook each meal for our family(and i still get to taste her cooking at least once a week)

how come i cook dinner that day??? actually my MIL was not feeling well last few days, i helped out to prepare dinner on Tuesday nite...

the menu was:

fried egg with big onion
steam vegetables with oyster sauce
steam tauhu with fried onion
canned "fish"

ya... it was a not so balance meal... and the rice was a bit dry... but yet, all the food was cleared up... MIL said a simple meal is enough and no need to cook those very skillful dish yet e.g. stir-fry vege, chicken steam with mushrooms etc....

which means, when we move to the new house, i'll get to learn how to cook from my MIL... she is actually looking forward to teach me her super delicious "chilli chicken" recipe.....

and i myself are looking forward to learn some cooking skills from MIL since i know that my hubby would want me to hv some "wifey" skill to cook for him.....

the day will come when i will conquer the kitchen.... hehehe...

penang trip

* after trying so many times to upload the photos, i finally managed to, with the tips from shanny)

last saturday(08/07/06), in two cars, 7 of us(me, joanne, Cynthia, Moon, yvonne, william & steven) left for a short trip to penang(one of my fav city- becoz of food lor)..... besides that, penang means a lot to me as i had spent three years uni-life at USM..... i miss the place so muchhhhh.........

we first arrived at Bidor for a late breakfast... where else to go to if not the famous Pun Chun restaurant for it's yummy duck thigh noodle.... it was my 3rd visit to this restaurant... we oso bought some of the famous snacks there(chicken biscuit & "sak keh mah")....

we then arrived at Penang about 1.30pm.... check-in to our spacious two bedrooms service apartment at Vistana Hotel, Bukit Jambul.... with the guidance from one of our Penang colleague, Elisha, we had late lunch at Penang Road.... the famous ABC cendol & assam laksa.....
after that, the 7 of us drove to Ferringhi Beach and then had an early dinner at the temporarily shifted, Gurney Drive.....

the next day, we had a sumptious breakfast at Taman Pekaka, near our apartment...just like our previous trips(refer to the earlier posts, either to melaka or genting), we had "DIM SUM"....... but this time, it is self-service..... we just love the egg tarts that they served there!we then headed to bukit bendera, kek lok si & a couple of temples before stopping by for a late lunch at Macalister Road for the famous SISTERS "char kuey teow"... at a nearby stall, we oso bought a couple of durians & smuggled into our apartment... hehehe
at nite, it was the WORLD CUP FINALS celebration at Upper Penang Road.... the place is happening... with HOTLINK being the major sponsor for the nite, there were many activities around..... unfortunately, it was too noisy... in the end, we watched the WC FINALS in our apartment.....
the last day in Penang, we went for breakfast at mamak..... we then visited our Penang branch office at the Northam Tower....

on our way back to KL, we managed to stop by at our Ipoh branch office and had a really really late lunch...... and this time, we found this special fruit cocktail drink(made from dragon fruit juice with a mixture of mango, water melon, longan, kiwi etc...)
my comment for this trip: it's FOOD, FOOD & FOOD at penang.... and FUN!

unlucky 30.06.2006

i was driving home on friday.... almost home coz i can actually see my hubby waiting for me in his car at our apartment parking lots.....

it was 6.55pm.....i was driving at the sharp bend when a STUPID DUMMY BUS(a blue factory bus) speeded towards me & at the sharp corner, this STUPID DUMMY BUS went into my lane and hit the right side of my car... luckily the STUPID DUMMY BUS brake and stopped moving or else he will be dragging my car along with me inside the car....

i straight away called hubby on the mobile and later my dad..... at first i just dunno what to do until dad asked me to get out of the car first.... i was like how to get out of the car now? i can't opened up my door car... ooops.... no logical thinking at that time.... i then hv to climb out from the front passenger door.....hubby was with me in minutes... the bus driver came down & straight away put the blame on me driving fast at the corner and he was on the right lane! HELLO??? i was turning around the corner when the STUPID DUMMY BUS speeded and drove into my lane.....

i don't care at all what the STUPID BUS DRIVER said to hubby... i just took many many photos of the STUPID DUMMY BUS and the STUPID BUS DRIVER...

it was a long story after that... i lodged a report against the STUPID DUMMY BUS & DRIVER on the same day...... and now, my poor car is in the workshop.....

i am glad that i escaped unhurt or else i just can't imagine if the STUPID DUMMY BUS did not stop his STUPID DUMMY BUS after hitting my car......

* the STUPID DUMMY BUS DRIVER who claimed he drove on the right lane *
