My Heavy Breakfast ;

Sandwiches, cornflakes and milk. That's how "heavy" my breakfast were. *laughs
HEY ALLLLLLLLLLLL!

Yours truly is finally back to the blogging world with some food photos. :3 :3
Three days before the arrival of CNY, how quick is that eh? As always, the atmosphere wasn't as nice as how I used to experience back to those olden days.. well let's see how it goes this coming Snake year?

Anyhoo, (refer to the second photo) the sandwiches were made by yours truly within.. 1/2 an hour I guess? And afraid not, I did not finish the two plates of sandwiches all by myself. I'd go hell crazy fat if I were to do that since my tendency to get fat is sososo easy now hahahaa.
The taste were... ... .... *drum rolls*

bad.

Hahaha, did I actually scare you with so many dots up there? :P
INCASE you want to know how I make the sandwiches, here's how ;

and...

There. As easy as learning ABC. Try it at home if you want! :D It's really healthy (if you add lesser mayonaise) and it's certainly nice to have this to cheer you and your tummy up before you start your day!
Don't worry, all the ingredients needed are always available at any supermarkets/grocery stores. :)
Before I end the blogpost, let me thank the ingredients for my "heavy" breakfast, may I?
:D

You can actually add cheese slices or tomato/chilli/bbq/thousand island sauce if you want to make it taste even better. :D
I'm bad at descriptions, hope the photos above help in getting you some ideas in making your own sandwich before you start your day, next time? :D

For I Shall Make It Even ;

This is my 8th post of the month, and it's going to be a short one.

June was being fine to me. I'm glad and I'm very blessed.
Despite of the endless tutorials coming in, I managed to meet up with some of my highschool friends and watched plenty of movies. :)
Earlier of the month, I went to Penang via a society trip. It was all cool and great. There's nothing I could rant, but there are photos (in my pendrive) I would like to share but yours truly has no time to upload 'em in facebook, what's more posting the photos here.
I'll try, i'll try.


The feeling called "guilty" never fail to haunt me whenever I insert the broadband into my netbook. Be it for minutes for hours,
my brain will certainly say :

"Stop it. You have works to do."

Like seriously, I feel bad now.
:B
...

of PS I Love You

My journey in reading a book is about to end. Can't wait to make a review about this book which is coming pretty pretty soon! :D

Mmm. What book shall I read next? *looking at the list
Jodi  Picoult's My Sister's Keeper?
Emily Bronte's Wurthering Heights or
Sophie Kinsella's Twenties Girl?




Either way, I better get going now before I start to regret. Treat me well, July!

xx

Insane that how I am still awake at this hour. :X Shhh. Imma not tell you the time now.

But hey! I just got back from a short >

PontianPulauKukupKulaiJohorBahruBatuPahatMuar trip.

Gosh.

Edited //

Pontian.

This is the place where Pei Yie (my college friend) lives. To be suprisingly honest, I was shocked to see so many trees around the area. River.trees.wooden houses.trees (again).

I thought I have reached some ulu places, somewhere at Pahang or Sabah or oh whatever.

It's really nice seeing so many green trees along the journey :) because it's not just soothing, but it also brings the calm feeling which activates my relaxation response after some time of stressful life in the hustle bustle city.

It's basically a small town (not like Kajang, of course). I'd describe it as a small fish village, surrounded with manymany trees, alongside with rivers, boats, kampung-like-people, etc etc.

It's a beautiful place :]

Pei Yie, don't you dare to forget your promise to bring me tour around your living area the next time I pay you a visit! :P

Pulau Kukup

The island itself is famous with seafood. Well, I guess it's a no doubt because the seafood was indeed scrumptous.

Yes, all the thumbs up goes to the food, yet there was one thing I dislike on was the irresponsible restaurant worker.

Here's why : SHE was apparently cleaning up the tables, wrapping up the plastic (containing wasted food) and without thinking, she threw that (I would call it as GARBAGE of food) into the sea. I'm like .. .. ...

:O

Gosh. How could she throws randomly just like that?! No wonder fishes are dying tremendously in a huge amount :/ Gahhhh.

Kulai

Stayed at Kulai City Inn Hotel. The bathroom was hella.. .. .. dirty.

It was new by the way, so I should not have complain much. 

On the bright side, I can watch Channel 8 (a Singapore channel) whenever, whereever I'm at Johor.
How cool is that? :D I loveeeeeeeeee that channel. The Singapore dramas are really nice to watchhhh :) I'm envy that the Johorians actually get to watch it without the need to spend money to subscribe Astro Shuang Xing. :/

The next morning, the "Wantan" mee downstairs was EFFING expensive. The beverages were all from 3-in-one-packets. Totally NOT-worth-it.

Johor Bahru

Just passed by. I was sleeping in the bus at that time :P

Batu Pahat

Finally get to see BATU PAHAT MALL! The mall that was always being mentioned by the radio DJ :) HEHE. There was nothing much though.

Passed by YONG PENG (Yoges and Priscilla's hometown) as well! :D

Muar

Get to eat Otak-otak for my very first time. For god's sake, it's spicy.

It was nice nonetheless :]

Had dinner at Mer Lin Restaurant, nearby Qi Ping(another college friend)'s house. I didn't get to meet him as I was rushing back to Kajang after that. 

Bought some eatable pricey souvenirs back home anyway. :B

Overall, it's just a very short trip to these places. It wasn't really a trip, it's like a touch-and-go-places because we (me, Pa and his friends) didn't really sit down, enjoying what's nice here and there.

The main aim I was in this trip was to accompany my father, (who's a member of the Lee's Association at KL which organized a trip to Johor to meet the Lee people there. Okaylah to be frank, to meet the people with SURNAME LEE'S to tighten relationship or some sorts like that)

Did you get what I mean?

Nevermind if you don't. I suck at explaining anyway, so don't bother to understand.

To tell you the truth, it was a hell-boring-trip. I was almost fainting, pleading to go back home. Somehow, I'd already tried my best to enjoy the trip by looking at the sky, the place, and the food. Seriously, I don't mind being positive minded. I just hate being left alone.

Last but not least,

I wish to go to Johor again to try all the nice food, this time with a bunch of friends or family, along with my camera :)

Thanks for reading this lame, uninteresting post of mine.

Love!

Yee Sang ;

 

When I tossed these up, I whispered, "10A's for SPM please".

"10 A's for SPM PLEASEEE"

The non-chinese might find this really unique. Half the fun in eating this food is by tossing of the salad. The diners at the table have to stand up, ready to proceed to toss the shredded ingredients into the air with chopsticks while saying various "auspicious wishes" OUT LOUD. The action of tossing is known as Lo Hei (where people often says : LOU AH. LOU AH..) which symbolizes increasing prosperity, abundance and vigor. 

It is also believed that the height of the toss reflects the height of the diner's growth in fortunes, thus diners are expected to toss enthusiastically :D

Some of the examples wishes in Cantonese are :

*TAI KAH SAN TAI KEEN HONG AHH ( May everyone stays healthy)

*SAI LOU KOH FAI KOU JIONG TAI (May all the kids grow faster)

*TUKK SHEE GEHH HOK YIP JUM BOU (May all the students improve in their studies)

*ZOU GONG GEHH SI SI SUN LEI (To those who works, may everything goes smoothly)

Incase you (my reader) are still unsure what am I talking about, this food is commonly called as YEESANG (in cantonese), YUSHENG (in mandarin).

Yusheng literally means "raw fish" but since "fish (鱼)" is commonly conflated with its homophone (same sound but different meaning) "abundance (余)", Yúshēng (鱼生) is interpreted as a homophone for Yúshēng (余升) meaning an increase in abundance. Therefore, yusheng is considered a symbol of abundance, prosperity and vigor.

It is often served as part of a multi-dish dinner, usually as the appetizer due to its symbolism of "good luck" for the new year. Usually, the Chinese would consume it on Renri, the seventh day of the Chinese New Year, although in practice it may be eaten on any convenient day during Chinese New Year (1st to 15th Day).

The Yee Sang is characterized by it’s colorfulness. It is served in a large flat platter with vegetables arranged around a small serving of raw fish in the middle. It is a dish with more than 20 ingredients which usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients.

A MUST remember when you eat yee sang : The higher you toss, the greater your fortunes! :D
