是不是

本来想写关于TOR的。。。但是照片还未整理好。。。也很懒。。。

在这个繁忙的星球上，
是不是每个人都在需要你来做一些东西时，才来找你，对你好？
而当你没有利用价值的时候，就抛你在一边。
你的帮忙要被用到时，就很好心好意酱跟你说话，
过后？你的影子他都当看不到。

其实我在别人的心中，是个怎样的人呢？
有没有人能直率的告诉我啊？
我真的很想知道。
到底是他们的恶心，或是我其实是个坏人呢？！
是我很容易被用，或者天生人性就是这样啊？
是我不知自明以为我帮到忙，其实他人不想我在那吗？
我真的怕，因我的不好，而朋友都会逐渐离开我。
我真的怕，因为我不懂。

Tor+ Saksit is coming to town!

For those of you who don't pause my blog music player *stares at someone*, the artiste who sing that song is coming to Penang and KL this weekend! Yippeeee!

Tor+ Saksit is a Thai artiste and excellent pianist. That song 'Rak Ter' which means 'love you' was a five times number one hit. He's here to promote his latest Asian edition of 'Piano & I'.

His promo as below:

20 Feb 09 (Fri) 4.30pm - MY FM Phone Interview

20 Feb 09 (Fri) 8.00pm - Penang Gurney Plaza Alfresco Area

And guess what? Danell will be the host for his promos! Haha, hope those who go and see Danell will support Tor as well :)

He's not really like super good looking, but I really like the way he plays the piano. Quite some number of his songs are very nice as well. His latest album 'Munk?' was very well done. I would say I like most of the songs.

And next week, Danell will be having his last promo of his "Sharing" compilation album, making it a grand one, an unplugged live band jazz showcase at Wisma MCA on 27th Feb at 8pm! Those interested and free on that day, come join us! It's gonna be a superb interesting evening, because he will be doing something special. *excited* For more info, log on to www.danell-lee.net.

Difference in you and me.
You always say the wrong thing at the right time.
Well, different mindset I guess.

[Phood] Hokkien Mee @ Jalan 222 PJ

I would say that this is quite a famous place for Hokkien Mee in PJ. My parents and I often dine here. Restoran Ahwa is actually a corner shop consisting different hawker stalls such as chicken rice, grilled fish, satay, lor bak, popiah, mixed rice, soup noodles etc. But what's famous in this shop is the hokkien mee for sure. Even the shop is named with the hokkien mee in it.

Restoran Ahwa is located at Jalan 222. Well, I think it's Jalan 222, as many people I know calls it the Jalan 222 Hokkien Mee instead of saying the name of the shop.

KL Hokkien Mee

Loh Mee (this is nice too)

I've been here at least 5 times but this is my first time eating the vermicelli version. This was fantastic. The vermicelli soaked up all the sauce and aroma, very tasty indeed.

We ordered 1 small portion of 'cantonese style yee mee', it was so not nice. But others were fine.

Fried lala from the grilled fish stall. (My friend claims it's one in a million, can't find this style anywhere else)


Chicken Satay (RM7.50 for 15 pieces)


Tauhu Bakar (I like it, crispy with a lot of cucumber and bean sprout and peanut sauce inside) (RM1.50 per piece)

I can't remember how much the noodles cost. But, ahh, the satisfaction you get when your tummy is filled. Yum.

Restoran Ahwa Hokkien Mee
Jalan 222, PJ.

Directions: On the Federal Highway heading towards Klang, after you passed PJ Hilton on your left, keep left and exit at Jalan 222/Jalan Templer. Turn right at the traffic light under the flyover. Go straight and turn right at the second traffic light. You will be able to see a Shell petrol station on your right, and also the restaurant already.

Belated Valentine's Day

Happy belated Valentine's Day! 情人节快乐! 不知道大家如何度过2009年的情人节呢？我啊，就去了ONE FM的LIVE CONCERT, 跟很多DJ，艺人共度最浪漫的情人节耶～有我的超级偶像DANELL啦，帅气偶像宇中啦，JOHN啦，伍家辉，曹格，卓文萱，温岚，郭晓薇，吴忠明，潘嘉丽，方炯镔，慢行还有一班DJ们-JEFF，SUMI，SUKI，JACK，KYAN，LUCAS，RYAN。

22年来，都没有庆祝过情人节，因为没有情人啊。但是刚才被人‘骂’了一顿说情人节也可以是跟朋友过的啊！今年跟很多朋友一起庆祝，不错嘛。

每个人心中都会有一个难忘的‘他’。一个在心里有着重要身份的‘他’。不要算父母啦，他们的位置都是最特殊的。我的那个‘他’，是一位普通朋友，是一位曾经同班三年的学生。当时，还在小学的我们，根本不知道什么叫恋爱，什么复杂的感情世界。但是在我心中却有着一个特别的地位。

认识他是小学二年级的事了，而且还是同一个体育队。那时的他，男生嘛，都是调皮，捣蛋的。 三年级有一次体育课后他不小心用体育衣打到我，把我弄哭了。给我朋友骂了一会，过后他道歉。也许他已不记得他说过什么，但是他那句话我一生都会记得。其实学校一直都有传我们俩的‘绯闻’（哈哈，太夸张了吧）可是就没有去真正的理解。

五年级，我考进了第一班，就没有和他说话了。有一次学校旅行，朋友告诉我说他有了女朋友，好失望哦，但又有什么办法？六年级合唱团比赛他帮忙搬用具，只是说了几句话。不是，才几个字而已。有次UPSR考完试我们因巴士在不同地方要朝反方向走，走过彼此就马上低下头看地上。

中学我们俩就读不同的学校，我有尝试写信给他，也许他没有收到吧。就这样，缘分已尽。可是，不知怎样，我们又遇到，现在也有保持联络 :)

也许有一天你会读到这一篇，想告诉你的是，看死你没有去留意或在乎一切曾经发生过的事情吧。但是你说过的那一句话，你写过的纪念册（你的字体很难看咧咔咔咔！），我们最后什么时候见面，一切我都会记得的。放心，现在你不是我所需要的人，但是以前你曾经是我一个很特别的普通朋友 :)

情人节快乐。

PS: Hope this won't haunt you for life :p

Life, oh life

It gives me goose bumps every time I enter a hospital. Not that I see dead people, but, the whole 'ambience' is totally... *shivers*.

Grandpa was admitted to the hospital. Just came back from visiting him. To be honest, the number of times I actually go to a hospital can be counted with my two bare hands. Not sure it's a good thing or bad though. Maybe I watched too much dramas, I tend to imagine a lot of 'negative possibilities' at the hospital, which I fear to come. Aih~

Went to 1U just now. Roses, hearts, love, sweetness everywhere. Aww... hao lang man oh... hou lum ar... I saw guys buying bouquets already! (on the 12th?!?)

My old sickness is back. I didn't sleep for the whole night again. And I did nothing. Hehehe! Ok, deprived of sleep now. Nite!

[Lyrics] Tor Saksit - Rak Ter รักเธอ

OOOOhhh, i'm sooooo in love with this song now (it's playing on my mixpod now, 1st song :D) I'm waiting for him to come to Malaysia. Trying very hard to memorize the lyrics :S Of course I write out my own pronunciation la...

Rak Ter รักเธอ

เคยไหมบางทีที่เธอต้องการพูดอะไรออกไป
koie mai baang tee tee ter dtong gaan poot a-rai ok bpai

เคยไหมบางทีคำพูดมันไม่ยอมตรงกันกับใจ
koie mai baang tee kam poot man mai yom dtrong gan gap jai

ทั้งที่พยายาม และไม่ว่าจะเตรียมตัว สักขนาดไหน
tang tee pa-yaa-yaam lae mai waa ja dtriam dtua sak ka-naat nai

เหมือนฉันเองที่กำลังเผชิญหน้าความเป็นจริง
meuan chan eng tee gam-lang pay-chern naa kwaam bpen jing

และถึงแม้ข้างในพยายามพูดออกไปให้หมดทุกสิ่ง
lae teung mae kaang nai pa-yaa-yaam poot ok bpai hai mot took sing

อย่างที่ตั้งใจ

* แต่มัน ก็เหมือนเคย ไม่ว่าจะเปิดเผยสักเท่าไร
dtae man gor meuan koie mai waa ja bpert poie sak tao-rai

เมื่อต้องพูดคำนั้น เสียงฉันมันก็หายไป
meua dtong poot kam nan siang chan man gor haai bpai

** อ่านปากของฉันนะ ว่า (รักเธอ)
aan bpaak kong chan na waa ( rak ter )

อยากจะพูดอีกครั้ง ว่า (รักเธอ)

ให้หมดทั้งหัวใจ

First Step

New year is over, and gosh, time flies. Seriously. It's mid Feb already! I mean, it felt like I just celebrated Christmas last year! And I'm already 11 months being a 'floor measurer'. But, I made the first move today! Went and enquire for a job today. Nope, not interview, they didn't have vacancy, just went and ask. I was so nervous and scared. (Chew, enquire also scared?!?)

My CNY was quite well celebrated. KL-lang sure stay in KL only ler. Cut down on the visiting, but I did spend time with my secondary school mates and 'pink' friends. Had 5 lou sang throughout the 15 days! :) My family have the tradition of having dinner together on the 30th night, day 7th and chap goh mei. Day 7th was celebrated in my aunt's place, and I had a very RICH dinner on Chap Goh Mei.

Yee Sang, Cauliflower with Prawns, Sweet and Sour Fish, Wanton, Siew Yoke, Stir Fried Kailan, Kow Yoke, Steamed Chicken, and one more Steamed Prawns (not in pic)

Rich leh? So full. Samore got ice cream and cheesecake for dessert.

I didn't know in Chap Goh Mei you're supposed to eat Tang Yuen. We never had the tradition to. But I get a 'delayed' one just now. Thanks XXX it was very nice :D

CNY over. No more excuses to be lazy. Hope it'll be a good year for me and for all of you out there :D Be healthy and happy! Appreciate and be grateful for what you have. You'll never know when it will be taken away from you. Expect the unexpected.

[Recipe] Dorie Greenspan's Chocolate Chocolate Cupcakes

Chocolate Chocolate Cupcake

Moist and yummy! The steps are slightly complicated but the result is good! I feared Dorie's recipe before this due to my failed World Peace Cookie. But this is really a keeper! :) I skipped the glaze cuz the cupcakes were very sweet by itself already even when I cut 1/4 of the sugar! I accidentally melted the butter, but the result is still good! :)

Copied from masak-masak

For the cupcake

1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt
1 stick (8 tbs) [113gm] unsalted butter, at room temperature
¾ cup caster sugar (I used 1/2 cup)
1 large egg
1 large egg yolk
½ tsp pure vanilla extract
½ cup buttermilk (I used a mix of yoghurt and milk instead)
2 oz bittersweet chocolate, melted and cooled

For the glaze

3 oz bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar, sifted
2 tbs cold unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces

Getting Ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Fit the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin pan with paper muffin cups, or butter them with flour and tap out the excess.

To make the cupcakes:

Whisk together the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

Working with a stand mixer, preferably fitted with the paddle attachment, or with a hand mixer in a large bowl, beat the butter at medium speed until soft and creamy. Add the sugar and beat for about 2 minutes, until it is blended into the butter. Add the egg, then the yolk, beating 1 minute after each addition and scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as needed. Beat in the vanilla, then reduce the mixer speed to low and add half the dry ingredients, mixing only until they disappear. Scrape down the bowl and add the buttermilk, mixing until incorporated, then mix in the remaining dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl, add the melted chocolate and mix it in with the rubber spatula. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin molds.

Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are dry and springy to the touch and a knife inserted into their centers comes out clean. Transfer the muffin pan to a rack and let the cakes cool for 5 minutes before unmolding. Cool to room temperature on the rack before glazing.

To make the Glaze:

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water. Transfer the bowl to the counter and let stand for 5 minutes.

Using a small whisk or rubber spatula, stir the confectioners’ sugar into the chocolate, followed by the pieces of cold butter. The glaze may be very thin at this point or may be perfectly spreadable. If it is too thin to spread or use as a dip, stir it over ice water for a few seconds – really less than a minute. With a small metal icing spatula, give each cupcake a crown of shiny ganache, and let the glaze set at room temperature (or in the fridge if you are in a hurry). If the ganache loses its gloss and you miss it, give the tops of the cakes a puff of hot air from a hairdryer right before serving.

R.I.P. Bibi

By now, I think Bibi is in heaven already.

Bibi is my dog. Yeah, not everyone knows I have a dog. It belonged to my relative, and we took it home 8 or 9 years ago. Now that we've moved to a place where we can't own it, we had to do something. No one we know wanted it, so we're left with no choice.


Yesterday the vet called and said SPCA won't take dogs more than 10 years old. Bibi is already an old grandma. Anyway, SPCA is having problems with overloaded dogs too. No one wanted it. We had two options, put it to sleep or let it wander as a stray dog.

Yeah, call me a murderer. I am, I feel like one. Dad wanted to let it wander, but I thought putting it to sleep was less cruel. Why? At least you don't have to worry whether is she still alive, is she hit by a car, is she starving, is she cold... At least she's with You now. To make you feel better, SPCA also do so, even to puppies.

Going back to the old house to clear up my stuff would be painful now. Previously I always ask 'Feed Bibi already ah?' now it's at the slip of my tongue, only to remember she's not there anymore. Planning to fast few days a week to make myself feel better.

R.I.P. my little baby. I'll see you when I see you :)

What To Do With My Wall?

Hmm, my room wall seems pretty dull. Want to do something about it but don't know what to. It's just blue blue blue everywhere! Hehe. Graffiti? Paint butterflies/leafs? Photos? Haha. Treat this post as introducing my room to you lah.



Maybe this small part of the dark blue wall as well... hmm what to do? What to do?


The view from my room. Nice? :p


My bed, with my dear Patrick :)


I have to say, I love my closet too! :p


With slide-able mirror... save space :)


Look like boutique boh? Colors category! :p


Again and again, I write the same thing over and over again. I just don't know what I really want to do? I'm scared to make the wrong choice. Well, blame all the bad experiences from people I know. I like baking and cooking, but can I do it as to the standard of fulfilling the customers' demands? Can I work in a hectic kitchen? (Imagine Gordon Ramsay oh god) I dislike management, but that's the cert I graduated from! I'm looking into so many different options which I don't even know if I suit it in the first place! Cake studio? Bread making? Hotel? Pastry? Or perhaps I don't suit kitchen at all? I even widen the scope to the entertainment line. Lol! Joke of the year deyh.

I know, I must try first. I just can't stop myself from thinking of the worst. Aih~

[Phood] Kin San Kichi @ Desa Sri Hartamas

Ever since my uncle brought my parents and grandparents here, they've been praising the phood non stop! I was told a funny story where my uncle went in another restaurant and asked the owner 'owh, you renovated your shop?' only to know that he was in the wrong one! Lol!


Kin San Kichi, located in Desa Sri Hartamas, an area where you can find heaps of different type of cuisine from Japanese to Korean to Chinese to Irish. One would expect to pay a higher sum to dine in this area, but to my surprise this restaurant is not that expensive after all!

The bar

The Kitchen

There were only four of us, so we can't order much. Which means, I can't try much! But it's okay, I'll be back again!

Appetiser - Edamame (RM6)

Fresh Salmon Sashimi *drools* 10 pieces, each a centimetre thick! All round goodness! Yummy! (RM35)

Bro ordered the sukiyaki set. Kinda too salty for my liking. (RM21)

I ordered the Nabeyaki Udon (RM15) Light and nice :)

Parents shared a Miso Chashu Ramen (RM15) I think the miso soup was too salty. Ramen still lack of that 'bounciness'.

Then we shared a barbeque family set for 2. Minimum order of 2 pax (RM33 per pax) which includes:

Mixed Seafood - 2 prawns, 2 scallops, cuttlefish and butter yaki salmon (this is damn good)

The original meat given was ox tongue but we opted for pork (hmm, kinda tough)

Sliced beef (very tender and juicy! Yumm!)

Served with 2 miso soup and 2 white rice and fruits
