I Know About Her More Now When I Am Away

I realized something which made me think a lot today.That realization that slapped me today really saddens me, but i am glad somehow.How come I want to know about Malaysia more when I am away? How come I want to read more about Malaysia when I am away? It is not that i am homesick..i am quite happy here.

I think I know more about her now.Its history etc..
I think I love her more too.
I will continue to get to know her better..and appreciate her better.

HURT & HAPPY

Sometimes when you care about other people`s feelings
or you love them too much,
you just let go the hurtful things they say to you.

and on this day when i am hurting so much, i am glad that a darling friend, pah married the man she loves.. congratulations pah and pojie..my prayers for your happiness and loads of children!

words can make us happy
words can also make us hurt
so chose our words wisely.

Friends..

Snacking

How simple things make me smile

Every morning ever since i received a summons for my charingko a few months a go, i parked him at a designated parking bay (roofed) prepared by the local authority in my area, near the station.

In the mornings, there are always 4-5 old men there in uniforms, arranging and rearranging the bicycles. i will always say `おはいよございます‘　～ohaiyo gozaimasu~which means GOOD MORNING..and after looking my dear bf and parking it well, and collecting my bag from the basket, they will smile and wish me `いってらっしゃい‘ ~ itterasshai- which in other words means ~ SELAMAT JALAN.JALAN ELOK-ELOK..

毎日いってらっしゃい言ってくれて、
ありがとう
すごくうれしい
小さいことでも心に残ってる。

It makes me start my day with a smile.Lets make greetings a culture.

life

'Life is too short to wake up in
the morning with regrets, so love
the people who treat you right,
forget about the ones who don ' t,
and believe that everything
happens for a reason. If you get a
chance, take it. If it changes
your life, let it. Nobody said
life would be easy, they just
promised it would be worth it. '

Coming to Japan

One of my best buddies are coming to Tokyo! YIPPEEE..cant wait for him to come!

HURT

My feelings are easily hurt lately..so as usual.

My Lunch..So Domestic of me!

This is my chicken soup for my soul today. sekejap je masak.. so for Ratu Kedah, this is what has became of the chicken i told you this morning.

So, this is how to prepare it.

Ingredients;
chicken cut into small or finger size
onions n garlic
mushroom as much as u like
grated ginger (check the pronounciation)
potato
*carrot
*celery
flour
black pepper
basil leaves
salt to taste

ok, firstly saute chicken, in a pan with some salt n black pepper. i never use white pepper in my cooking, so if i refer to pepper, its always black pepper. let it saute until its brownish.

secondly, in a different pan or pot, heat some oil and add chopped garlic, onions and mushroom.I used fresh shitake. but if u have dry ones, they are equally good. just make sure u soften them up by putting them in water or if ur in a hurry , soak them in hotwater.sautee till they are brownish for about 4-5 minutes.

later, add a cup or 2 water (according to the amount of chicken n soup desired).hot or warm does not matter.along side, please add the grated ginger, i used a full spoon.also, at this point, u can add the potatoes and also carrot/celery if u like.

at this point, check the salt content, just before u dump in the sauteed chicken pieces.add in also basil and pepper. let in boil on slow fire.

at the first boil and when u think the chicken is almost cooked, n the potatoes are well rather soft, add in diluted flour. (premix flour with water). The purpose of the flour is to give the soup a rather thick texture.Because the flour can alter the saltiness of the soup, please check salt n pepper as u go along and add according to taste.

The soup should be taken to a boil on slow fire, the longer u cook it, the better it is.Hope u try n enjoy it.

At the moment it is delicious with bread!


p/s* i think its pretty obvious my soup has loads of pepper n basil.
yum yum!

Sanja Matsuri Spring 2009 in Colour

Soda lemonade, traditional bottle drink since Showa.



The Kitty was a centre of attraction as it was there at the Kaminarimon (Gate).



I know this pic will be liked by many.especially my biologically clock ticking friends..hahah..she is cute rite?



This is a stall selling Okonomiyaki( a little like Japanese pizza).the vendor was creative enuf to advert the price with the flour paste.



This is a voodoo doll..hahahaha

after Cik Ratu Kedah commented that i should add captions, i decided to add some. although people say that pictures can mean a thousand words, i think i have the responsibility to explain too. Last year, in May I visited this festival for the first time. And naturally because it made such of and impression last year, i am again there (early) to witness it again.

Sorry guys i really dont know how to insert the captions between the pics but i will try.
