Notice!

Hi guys,  sorry I won't be around between 13 & 27 December!
ON VACATION!
visiting Taiwan for 14 days!
Will update the blog when I m back!
Perhaps talk about my Taiwan trip!

BLAMING?

Please, don't attribute your attitude & behavior to how someone else treats you!
This is an excuse!

I seriously don't understand why people like to blame everything to others
As if they are the victim, it's not their fault at all
They just like to push all the things to another person
What I really cannot stand is that they even do the same thing on their ATTITUDE

A.T.T.I.T.U.D.E.
Do you blame others just because you are unhappy ?
Do you blame others because you have negative thinking & causes depression?
Do you blame others when you get angry?
Do you blame the bus because you are late?
Do you blame the economy when you cannot find a job?

Don't be surprised! it is very normal for human beings to blame others!
but, most importantly, after some time you may begin to reflect yourself!

You cannot blame others when you are not happy!
You are the one who can control your emotion!
AND YOU ARE THE ONLY WHO DECIDE NOT TO BE HAPPY!!
You choose to be isn't it?
You choose to think the negative part instead of positive part！
Don't tell me that there is nothing worth for you to be happy with!
Are you telling me you have a miserable life for your whole life??
if you really think you really have a "unsuccessful" life why don't you take a look the kids at africa then only you will realize that your life is a bless!

People who have depression and like the whole world knows that they got depression is just DEPRESSION ATTITUDE!
They just want to push the responsibility of what they did with depression
Actually, they don't have depression at all
It is only they kept telling themselves they are having depression and as time goes, they got depressed
Many of them just take "depression" as a reason for others to give in!

Why don't you say that it is your low EQ that causes you to get angry??
Why don't you blame yourselves for that?
Indeed, there are cases that really get our monkeys up in real life, but we can be frustrated for a second and not for the whole life!
Or a better way, it changes your attitude and train for a higher EQ!

Blaming the bus and the economy is pretty common for us!
But think about it again!
If we have the "why don't I wake up earlier" attitude, we won't be late because we missed the bus
if we have the "be the best, beat the rest" attitude, we won't be sacked by companies & bad economy will not affect you at all
Just imagine, which boss would like to fire staff that bring benefits to the company?

See, it is all about our attitude!
we used to hear, you are what you EAT!
but, now i am telling you that you are what your ATTITUDE!!

Healthy hash brown

What you need:
Potatoes (cubed)
Lettuce/ other veggie (optional)
Soft tofu
1 Egg

Firstly,  I boiled the potatoes so that it will be softened (I love it to be soft)
Then cut them into cubes! Actually mine not cube, I just cut them into small pieces!
I transfer them into a large bowl together with the chopped lettuce
Mix them together with a spoon
Then add in crushed soft tofu!
Mix it again and add some soy sauce (I add oyster sauce instead)
Lastly add egg into it and mix it again!
Put them on the aluminium foil that coated with oil and bake it for 10 minutes in 200 degree Celsius
And there it is!

Healthy hash brown! 

It is a bit too watery, maybe because I don't drain the soft tofu! 

My sis said it tasted amazing!

I added tofu because It contains high protein and potato has high carbohydrates
Lettuce is high fiber & vitamin food
So together, it is healthy!
It has a very low calorie (sorry I don't know how to calculate )
Yet it is obviously lower calories than the frozen hash brown

I create this recipe all by myself!
So I m very happy with it!

Simply Nyonya @ Esplanade

Baba & Nyonya are Peranakan
This means that they are mixed blood, usually Chinese and Malay
Their culture is a mixture of Chinese and Malay

We went esplanade for lunch!
There are a few restaurants to eat there but I choose to have Nyonya food!
No specific reason, just because I felt like eating it! Hehe :-D

This is my FIRST time here!
What surprise me is that the waiter that served me is an angmo!
The restaurant is pretty quite!
There is a variety of food!
Whoever we ordered their "must try" !

my daddy!!

keropak  and acar served! 

i like their acar!

left to right : Chap chye (SGD 12) , Ayam Buah Keluak (SGD 15), Babi Assam (SGD 13.80) 

we still order a Ngo Hiang (SGD 8.8)

the Ngo Hiang is very special & delicious!! really a MUST-TRY!!

Weekend Tea Break @Lavender Bukit Indah

rain, rain go away,
come again another day....

this morning i saw my friend posted a photo of waffle on FB
she said it is from lavender
So, hehe, I requested to try that !!

Back from batu Pahat, we went to Jusco Bukit indah
The mall is packed!! no parking lots!!
I guess we are stuck in the car park for around 20 minutes!
Anyway, I manage to get what I want!!

My brother's PBJ thick toast!! (rm5)

It is nice!!

Worth the money!! 

hehe, this is what i wanted!!

Belgium Waffle with ice cream!! (rm15)

it is heart-shaped!! so lovely

Taste very good with vanilla ice cream but only a scope, not enough!!

good try!!

but a bit expensive!

I really love the ambiance of lavender!

Nice decor with nice music

It is indeed a nice place to gossip and hang out with friends & family

The price is quite general

Most importantly, all the food is not only delicious but presented very well

oh, i bought a pair of shoes too!!

FLATS!! it is leather and PINK!!

From camel active

They are having a promotion - storewide additional 15%

Bought this flats with rm105

it is comfortable!! love it to max!

thank you, daddy!!

Fruit bread @ KOMUGI

#throwback

Omg these are so cute! 

Can you guess what are these? 

Yeah,  they are fruits

But not real fruit

They are BREADS! 

I called them fruit bread

Not only the breads look like fruits

But they taste like fruit too

The fillings inside are the fruits! 

It is indeed special right? 

Each bread cost rm3.50

So one set like this is about rm14! 

Next time you can buy this to play a fool with your friends!

Makan @ batu pahat!

I m at Kampung merdeka batu pahat!
My dad insisted to have laksa before going back jb!
So,  that's the reason why five of us are here!
It is a house actually (I m not sure is it legal! ) But very spacious as it is a corner lot!

They don't only sell laksa but dry noodle and pinch handnoodle
We are introduced to this place by my uncles

My brother has dry noodle

He says it is just normal & the noodle is rather hard!

laksa!!

My dad is quite disappointed
He initially wanted to go to another place which  only operates at night

I don't eat anything as I m still full after eating bak kut teh in the early morning!

BAK KUT TEH!!

Left to right : yam fried rice, long bean, Chinese tea (jasmine) 

Talking about bak kut teh
It is my dad's favorite!
Personally, I don't really fancy it!
But I still woke up early in the morning
We went to a place near FLORA (sorry, I m not familiar with the roads on batu pahat! )

The bak kut teh is quite nice
The soup is very clear and taste really good
As usual I don't take pork or ribs instead I love the needle mushrooms and button mushrooms!
The long bean with anchovies is special but a bit salty!
The bill if the bak kut teh meal is about rm130
It is considered pretty cheap for 12 people!

NEUTRAL!

Why cannot I be neutral?

I don't see the cons of being neutral

I am rational enough

I know what I am doing and that's enough!

Maybe you don't like me to be neutral, but I enjoy it!

So, I want change because of you

I will be NEUTRAL!! 

Why I need to choose a party to side?

I don't think either you or daddy is correct

Both of you need to be responsible to the situation now

Both of you should be blamed

Why need to see who should bear more on the scenario?

To me, problems occur because of errors and faulty 

Wrong is wrong, both of you did mistake

It takes two hands to clap

Both of you should be blamed 

No point argue who should bear most of the responsible of the current situation 

In my opinion, both of you need to be blamed!

Hence, why should I side you or daddy?

You want me to side you, but why should I?

You argued that I need to side you because you are my mother 

You claimed that I have grown up, no longer side you and give you full support 

You said I changed to be neutral just because daddy has money

You mentioned that you are disappointed towards me

You think that daddy should be blamed 

You want me to talk to daddy, to convince me

You argued that children are the bridge for parents

You want me to help you

But, HOW?

I am tired of all these!

Yeah, it is true that when I was young when both of you quarrel, I will ask daddy to beg you and apologies 

Yet, did you realize this is not the solution

I cannot remember how many times I asked daddy to say sorry

I cannot count

However, the same situation happened again and again

It is like a circle

As I grown up, I don't think this method is working anymore!

I am really fed up & tired of being this so called "bridge"!

Maybe I am immune already 

Or many the "bridge" has overloaded and broken!

I don't want to side either side!

Yes, you are my mother but is that the reason for me to side you?

Daddy is my father too!

You just want me to side you

You just want me to tell you that everything's not fault

You just want me to know that daddy should be blamed for the whole situation 

How you want me to help you!

I am sorry I cannot do anything!

I tried, but fail! 

I  gave up already!

I cannot change neither you nor daddy!

Maybe you will say that I didn't try my best, it is okay

God knows what I did and that's enough

Btw, I am not a judge and I don't intend to be a judge

So, I have no rights and don't need to judge who is wrong or right!

Please don't force be to choose!!

MAKE YOUR OWN DECISION

Sorry, I cannot make the decision for you
I don't want to be responsible for your life
You can choose how you want to live
So, don't put the duty on me!
I don't want you to blame me or push the responsibility of your life towards me!
You are mature and old enough to make the decision that you think is right
Don't ask my opinion and later ask me to be responsible for it

Don't quote me example like next time in the working world I need to make a decision and I need to be responsible for it
Both scenarios are totally different
It is true that I will be fully responsible for my decision
But that's only I make that decision
Now you are forcing me to make decisions for you
And that decision will affect your whole life
You should make your own decision
I am here to give advice, NOT MAKING DECISION!
So, don't take my advice become my decision
You are THE ONE who need to decide and make your own choice then you also need to be responsible for the decision you have made
PLEASE don't ask me to be responsible for your decision just because I give you advice
You are the one who FORCE me to give advice
I am only giving my point of view
And I wouldn't be responsible for the decision you made!
In this case, DON'T ASK MY OPINION!

I'm sorry I DARE NOT TO  GIVE YOU ADVICE or MAKE DECISION FOR YOU
Yes, I don't want to be BLAMMED!
Yes, I don't want to be responsible for your life!
You can say whatever you want, I don't really care!
maybe to you I am not a filial daughter, i have nothing to say but only sorry
maybe you can find another daughter to replace me if you are really that disappointed towards me!

Attitude counts!

I could help but agree no more
In this world, everything have 2 sides : good or bad
It is mainly depends on how you see the incident
Some see it as an opportunity, whereas others view it as a disaster
You can chose to see the bright side or the "dark" side
Depends on your mind
But you can control your mind
a lot of things, good or bad is depends on individuals

Photo took with yu Xuan at tgv cinema bukit Indah during hunger game catching fire!

i read an article on a chinese newspaper

it is about 2 guy who come from the same village

both of them met each other on a train, one bought the ticket to shanghai another  to beijing

to make things easier lets use "A" to represent the person who purchased the ticket to beijing

and "B" for the man who buy the ticket to shanghai

"A" claimed that shanghai is too expensive, everything there needed money, even asking for dirextion needed money

hence, "A" wanted to go beijing & he offered to exchange the ticket with "B"

On the other hand, "B" thought that going to Shanghai is a better choice as even asking for direction can get a pay, there is lots of job opportunities there and he could get a job easily

5 years later, "A" & "B" met up and "B" who went to Shanghai has become a successful businessman

"A" remain the same, still working for others in beijing

see, same situation, different thinking produces different results!!

i also have a testimony to share on this matter

let me share a bit of my story

i am a typical malaysia student who sat spm last year and now i just finished my south australia matriculation (SAM) in Taylors college subang jaya

FYI, for spm, is basically testing of knowledge and you can actually score well with just memorizing the textbook, not so much on the application

Yet for SAM it is opposite, it is more on the application rather than knowledge

In other words, I think to 100% understand what it is going on and need to think more

At a certain point, I was sort of depressed, i went for counselling sessions

after a few sessions, i changed how i think on this course (to be honest, i have a thought of changing programme!)

i see SAM as a platform for me to be a better person!

in my past 17 years of education, i have mastered how to memorise, i know how to store knowledge in my brain

if i can also master on application means thinking and use my brain more

i will be better than others

see, i think it positively, and the whole thing changes

I worked harder and try my best to achieve what I wanted, understanding rather than memorizing

This is actually very important in my future

Because in the future I will need to apply the knowledge and not memorizing it only

In short, attitude can change a person's life

In other words, positive thinking can help a person to lead a happy life!

So, be positive! 

Spread the ARTTITUDE!

i like to mix around people who have positive thinking!
they will support me on anything i wanna do
sometimes, they even give comments and suggestions on it
through them, my confidence is built up
i am encouraged to do whatever i wanted to
but in life, there are many, or i should say most of them will give me cold blanket
that really causes me to give up!

i believe that attitude can be spread
take for example, whenever i go to HOMES (small church gathering) people there are positive thinkers (maybe because they believe that God will help them!)
hence, after HOMES i always felt life is full of wonders, the world is a happy, merry one
i should say that i will peace in my heart
it is like sort of positive power flow through my body!
it is really amazing!
everything when i was down, after meeting them (the bunch of positive people), i don't feel my problem is a problem anymore
i learn how to face my difficulties, how to go through them
my life is more positive
i think more on the positive sides rather than negative sides

i believe that is also why people claimed that friends are important
In chinese where is a proverb, you are red in the red, black in the ink (sorry, direct translate)
Anyway, the meaning basically is who you are is depends on who you mix with
For example, I like to hang out with friends who have good study attitude, because they take their studies seriously, study hard to achieve good results
they will build up a study atmosphere, so that i will also studies
vice versa, i also found out that if i mix with a gang of people that like to play and don't really study that much, i became lazier
because i felt that since my pals are like that, it is normal for me to be like them
so, can you see the differences?

CHEESY CHRISTMAS SALAD

Christmas is coming soon!
Actually still got 22 days to Christmas!
Whenever I think of Christmas I think of 2 colors : RED & GREEN!
Yeah, typical Christmas tree color!
So, I think of using these two colors to make a salad for lunch!

Recently, I like to use the oven !
Firstly, it is easy : put everything in and press some buttons!
Secondly, I hate washing so using aluminium foil and dispose it after roasting is the best choice for me!
Thirdly, i can practice how to cook so that next year i can cook for myself in overseas!
Hence, I decided to roast some veggies!
I don't really like to eat raw
Raw food doesn't taste sweet

For seasoning, I only use 2 ingredients! OLIVE OIL & LEMON!!

i pour the oil and lemon juice on the aluminium foil
then, tost with cucumber and broccoli!
On the other layer, I grill tomato and  cherry tomato!

After 10 minutes roasting, salad is coming!!
i mixed tomato, cherry tomato, cucumber & lettuce (sliced) together with cheese sauce!
then, add into a bowl !
in less than 5 minutes, my salad is ready!
yummy, yummy!
the plus point is this salad only is about 100 kcal! =)

Indian dinner @ CHAKRA

So, I am here for the famous TANDOORI!
My mom claimed that she had her best TANDOORI here and my friend also recommended this place to me!
FYI, this is my first time coming here
Plus, this is my 3nd Indian meal of the week!
Remember, I had SPICE KITCHEN on Thursday and today is a Sunday!
Anyway, we come here right after Legoland (FIRST time goes Legoland with DADDY)
the journey takes around 30 minutes from Legoland

To me, the place is a bit scary, especially at night!
it is an independent building, quite dark
The decor is really very simple, white walls and 2 artwork, that is it!

the price is quite reasonable, compare to SPICE KITCHEN, it is cheaper
but in terms of delicious, i personally prefer SPICE KITCHEN
SPICE KITCHEN have better environment, and the dishes are served in nice crockery
4 of us (my sis doesn't go) order a tandoori platter, slizzling fish, broccoli masala , a  briyani plain and a  briyani with mount. goat

keropok served with lime sauce! (i think this is what to be served for Indian restaurant!)

it is FOC!

Tandoori Platter! (chicken, kebab + fish!)

Broccoli Masala! spicy!

briyani plain

briyani with goat meat! 

slizzling fish!!

Generally, i don't really fancy indian food because i found that the sauce of all food  Taste more a less the same!
besides, i think indian food taste better if you eat with naan!
anyway, nice try! Only a bit disappointed because I have high expectation !

EGGS IN TOMATOES!

wake up quite early this morning (around 9am!)
the house is quite as usual, i am the first to wake up in the family (except my dad who went to work!)
open the fridge and a container of tomatoes is right in front of me!
so, i took it out and start to think what to do with it!

 This ! 

grilled tomato pouch egg! =)
so this is what u need ( 2 ingredient only!) : Tomatoes + eggs
what u need to do:
1. preheat the oven for about 10 minutes with 200 degree
2. place the aluminium foil on the tray
3. halve the tomatoes
4. Pour the eggs in the tomatoes (for me, one egg with one tomato)
5. place them on the foil
6. carefully, insert it into the oven
7. Grill it for about 10-15 minutes with 200 degree
8. take it out carefully with glove and let it cool!
9. eat it!

actually, i also do some grilled lettuce!
this is just an experiment
I want to try how it tastes
hmm... it tastes a bit like seaweed
It is burnt, because I grilled them for 15 minutes, over-grilled!
i rolled it and use as decoration for my tomatoes!

My BREAKFAST!

Bro's smiling Tomato

Mum's !

FOOD PRESENTATION!
to me, i think how you present your food is very important, it will affect the mood of the person who eat it!
so, i like to decorate my food, i want the person who is eating to be happy!

I think it is successful
i am sort of sense of achievement because this is my FIRST TIME doing this!
Tomatoes are healthy and low in calories!
A tomato has an average of 17 calories (so low!) and it is filling
i remember when i was young, my mum used to tell me tomatoes are good for the skin!
So, try this, easy and simple!
