The Cat & The Mouse

Yesterday, saw a black cat and a little mousie..
The cat was eying the mouse for quite sometime and going to hunt it down...
And the kaypoh me, go and shoo the cat away...

Hmm...
After the "good cause" that I have done, I was thinking probably I shouldn't have interrupted it?
My initial intention was not wanting the cat killing the mouse...
But then come to think of it, maybe I shouldn't have interrupt the nature?
It's natural for the cat to kill the mouse...
After all, mice are dirty creatures and could be disease carrier...
Maybe the cat was hungry too and I go and ruin its dinner meal...

ok lah...The above is small issue only...
But I just love to position myself into dilemmas after what I've done in whatever the things that I do...
There's always two sides in every matter/issue...
Neither correct or wrong also...
But just in future, probably I just need to 'bo chap' in issues that is not related to me...Don't be a KAY POH CHEE!! hehe

Like The Wind

I liked part of the lyrics, especially this:
來又如風 離又如風 或世事通通不過是場夢
translate: comes like the wind, leaves like the wind, or everything was but a dream

I really felt I was dreaming...

You are just like the wind...Gone with the wind~
and I have woke up from this dream...

Happy Birthday Week :)

I'm blessed to have you in my life.. truly blessed..
To the love of my life:

Classic Joke

This morning me played a classic joke on anonymous caller..

Me: Hallo...
Anonymous caller: (hesitated a few seconds)喂!請問你會聽懂華語嗎?
Me: 不會.

and I put down the phone after that...haha

It's annoying for these callers to call your number...and I don't even know how they got my number...

Rösti

haha... mink's first attempt at Rösti...
it's been a long time since mink cooked...
not that bad...only it looks like a giant piece of hash brown...and if I used butter, could have been a better taste :)

fyi, Rösti is a Swiss dish...so far I only saw it selling at Marche...

at first, wanted to try out cooking this and do again for next week for my sis's birthday brunch... but then, mana tahu sis today didn't go for work and I made this for her lunch...dang! no surprise already...

All Or Nothing

thanks my friend, for sending me this link and dedicate this song...love it!

Note: Originally sang by O-Town, and was also sang by Westlife... I've always love the original version

i like the title of the movie... hehe...
ice kacang puppy love~

一個人久了，是會上癮的

saw a lot of friends sharing this over at fb...
so I shared it over here as well :)

一個人久了，會懶得戀愛
一個人久了，朋友會越重要
一個人久了，電話會常常忘記帶
一個人久了，就會養成一個怪癖
一個人久了，對愛情會越來越挑剔

一個人久了，除了寂寞點外還是蠻開心的
一個人久了，會慢慢變得成熟起來
一個人久了，會比以前更重視更愛父母，更重視親情
一個人久了，對所有的節日大多沒甚麼期待
一個人久了，聽到看到別人一對對的很甜蜜，心裡多少還是會有些介意

一個人久了，會喜歡買很多無謂東西，帶自己去很多很遠的地方
一個人久了，會覺得無拘無束自由自在天寬地廣
一個人久了，愛情會變得越來越不重要，取而代之的是錢和事業
一個人久了，會越來越理性，越來越現實

總之，一個人久了，即使有一點點無聊和寂寞
但是游走在自己的街道上
甚麼都可以無所謂 沒有任何束縛

可是原來。。。
一個人久了，是會上癮的。。。

You Are My Exception!

One of my favorite couple in "He's Just Not That Into You" movie
Alex & Gigi

Quote from the movie clip:

Gigi: A wise person once told me that if a guy wants to be with a girl, he will make it happen no matter what..
that same wise person told me that I'm a RULE, that I have to stop thinking that every guy will change... that i have to stop thinking that ...(Alex interrupts and kisses Gigi).... I'm the EXCEPTION

Alex: You are my EXCEPTION~

Awwww! Look at Alex's eyes on Gigi...so so romantic lah...

How Peculiar

Funny incident just happened to me just now while i was on my way back from school...
I sat on the bus, adjusting my big fat butt on the seat...
Then this indian guy sitting next to me, was looking at me...
seeing that he was looking at me, I just sheepishly smiled at him...
he approached me by saying, "you look familiar..you've always take from this bus stop..u from that faculty?"
we talked all the way till we parted at the mrt station...
and that's how i get to know a complete stranger...

music

I'll never be the same
If we ever meet again
Won't let you get away
Don't ever let me go
I'll never be the same
If we ever meet again
I have so much more to say

Shutter Island

It's been a long time I haven't watch movies with a good twist in the end...
To name a few of such movies, Sixth Sense and the Others...
These movies requires you to recap the previous scenes that have hinted something, and you would figure out "Oh that's why that happened over there..." some sort like that...
I was half-expecting the ending twist in Shutter Island actually...and I knew who the murderer was also... but still I liked how Martin Scorsese developed the entire movie...
how the story was told to the audience, with a little of the deeper meaning behind it and requires some thought into it...
I especially liked the last line of it:
"which is worst to live as a monster or to die as a good man"
just one phrase and it nailed the entire movie... haha
next movie in line: Ironman 2 and Ip Man 2
saw both trailers and looks worth the watch...

Creativity

U gotta give kudos to these people: Designers~
Gosh... they are so creative...
was watching Project Runway on a lonely Friday night... :p
These guys on Season 7 are so innovative...
On Episode 7, these guys were tasked to design an outlook out of hardware materials...
no fabric or whatsoever... just metals, sand paper, garbage bag, plasters etc....
some are creative and some are erm.... not very nice...
just 2 days were given for their execution...
all of them are really really talented...
i wonder who won this season...

Cause and Effect

here goes the philosophy:

whatever actions that you have done, whatever result that you have to bear...
the cause and the effect...
there is no such thing as having the cause with no effect...'coz it will appear to you sooner or later...when the time is ripe...
foolish actions, then you have bear with foolish result...
but then what the chinese say: 傻人有傻福 (foolish people have foolish luck)...
it maybe some blessing in disguise with the foolish act...who knows?

Major Revamp

yea... finally done a major revamp of my blog and i'm liking it ^^
speaking of major revamp...
last week when i was at my hometown, i couldn't recognize my hometown anymore...
there were major construction of the highway and i can't even recognize the roads anymore..
the funny thing is even my dad also dunno how to get to the place that we wanted to go...
okie la...give some good excuse for him...
it was actually very dark and no street lights as they are revamping the whole place...
and worse was that the usual road to go to that taman was completely blocked and you need to go through from other taman area to go to that taman...haha...
sounds a bit complicated right? yea it is...
we spent like about half an hour to find that place >.<>

Cake and Sweets

Over the weekend, my mom baked a butter cake for the Qing Ming festival instead of the normal steamed sponge cake that she usually make every year... It's been really really long time she hasn't bake a cake... probably the last time was when I was about 10 years old? She baked a cake with the face of a dolly for my birthday?

So, I asked her, "how come you don't need recipe book for baking the butter cake?"
yea, my mom has this old and thick recipe book, all the collections of the good recipes that she collected throughout the years...Anyway, the question that I asked shows that I really don't know about bakery... Butter cake is the most basic cake to make... and after all, the recipe is so simple that anybody also can remember...

To bake a 1 pound of butter cake, all u need is
1 pound of butter (454 grams) which is equivalent to 2 pieces of the butter
1 pound of sugar
1 pound of self-raising flour
10 eggs
That's all!

You mix the butter and sugar until all are melted...
then slowly add 1 egg at a time to the batter and plus the flour...
then just put into the oven to bake.. about 180 degrees Celcius...
So simple! and smells damn nice too!

But did you know that this rich butter cake is so sinful? Imagine you having one piece of this cake, containing so much sugar....If you had this cake in icing, OMG! even more sugar consumption...I'm so thankful that my mom doesn't bake cake that often, if not, my body size would be twice the size of what I'm having right now... haha
