YIPPEE!! Yesterday went to makan at Pu TienResturant... YUM YUM!
The xinghua bee hoonBERI fine... if the normal bee hoon selling outside is about 1mm thick, then its bee hoon should be around 0.5mm (half of the former)... cool! Not oily at all... flavourful (got abit of veggie, mushrooms, egg omelette stripes, prawns, pork, clams)... OOH!!! and crispy seeweeds and peanuts that really added slight crunchiness to the soft bee hoon. GOOD! 4.5/5
I also tried their hong zhao ji (chicken meat cooked with rice wine)... YUMMY! Even my mother claims that it was done MUCH MUCH BETTER than her own style of hong zhao ji. The meat was tender and soft yet got slight QQ texture. The dish came with snow peas... the sauce was thicker than my mother's style (my mother's was more runny...she added more water to dilute the rice wine) but then, it was not too salty or what. I think it would defintely be a good dish to go along with plain white rice! :) 4.5/5 Another side dish that I ordered was kai lan with beancurd skin. This was a disappointment though. Coz i was expecting for more veggie since the menu named it that the kai lan came first before beancurd skin...BUT... -.- the beancurd skin was covering the whole of the plate and those poor kai lan hidding below. The beancurd skin was BERI BERI thick...so i guess it was rather value for money. Seriously, i do hope Pu Tien can add more kai lan... is like the only use 3 mini stalks or 1 BIG stalk of kai lan for the dish...so stingy! The sauce also kinda salty... 3.8/5 LASTLY, i ordered a dessert!!! PUMPKIN PASTE WITH ICE CREAM!!! OH MY!!! i was craving for ice cream for the whole week!!! However, this dish did not really meet my satisfaction. Because i was expecting a more flavourful pumpkin paste... the paste was runny, watery... the pumpkin taste not beri distinct but still can be tasted out. The ice cream was special as it has coconut milk flavour in it. I though it would be vanilla. But i guess since the paste was not thick enough, the coconut milk flavour ice cream would be a good choice to help add a creamier texture and a more flavourful touch to the dessert. 3.8/5 Yummy moment... sigh... craving for cheesecake now...LOL

Love me | Friday, January 8, 2010
Has there ever been a stage in your life... when you heard precious and encouraging words from your love ones? I do... and i'm grateful that my close friends or relatives said those to me...
From my... cousin YH: We'll all eventually have to step out of our comfort zones to grow up... friend HT: Don't care how others view you... we live for ourselves... friend R: We'r accountable for our own lives... so don't be bothered by others' comments younger cousins: (they exchanged a BIG toy dog for me from the tickets they won at arcade) We hope you'll be happy and like it friend F: No one looks down on you, is you yourself who look down on yourself in the 1st place... friend A: Have more confidence in yourself... you can do it friend CY: When someone compliments you, must accept it... because you deserve it. People won't say that if they don't mean it my mum: I'll support you in whatever you do... as long as you happy, mummy will be...
I realised... having colours in life... makes your every single day happy and meaningful... because of these words of enlightment from people around me... i know i am loved.. Thank you...

LOVE hurts | Wednesday, January 6, 2010
Finally... i realised the feeling of tiredness of liking someone... dunno since when... the feeling grew... till it was so intense... it hurts... yar... i told myself to stop falling deeper as i do not wish to get hurt... im an escapist... i don't dare to fall in love again... i wish to remain alone till old? maybe? i've never been so vocal about my inner thoughts... i've never seen the good sides of relationships... sometimes when i see couples on the streets, i always ponder... it is a MUST for a girl to have a boy and vice versa? it is a need? a necessity? an essential? or is a relationship just us to show off our victory for successfully chasing our dream girls/boys? a status to show that we are superior than the other people who have lost in the battle of chasing? i really don't know... my ex wanted to patch back with me... he asked 2 times... yet, i don't feel his sincerity... I don't know why out of the blue he wishes to patch back... he's lonely? he's down? sometimes when the truth is there, i do not wish to lie to myself again like i used to do when i was still young... what's past is past... life has to move on... i don't wish to be hurt by love again... not anymore... till i find someone who can protect me from the storms and accept me the way i am...

what's wrOng? | Sunday, December 20, 2009
I really sometimes can't believe that i'm living such a life... REALLY... I don't know whether i should be glad that my life is considered quite happening or whether i should be perplexed over the events in my life...
FIRSTLY on the guy that i had a crush on initially... It turned out that he got steady gf. It took awhile for me to get over him as I didn't want to get involved with a guy who already has a gf... For some people who strongly believe that they should fight for their happiness, will think i'm a fool for giving up without trying... but seriously, i'm just someone who lacks the courage to do so... and i've always been :( So... I decided to just treat me as a normal friend, without any feelings towards him... I look up to him as he is studious and hardworking, humorous, a sense of boyish character but yet can be a real gentleman... BUT... my impression of him DROPS till rather low... I don't know why??? Can't he even leave a good impression of himself? A good man like him... tarnishing his own good image... why why WHY? Haix... but i guess, we can't expect everyone to be what we expected them to be right? Because they themselves chose how they wanted to be in front of others... We are the viewers of the portrayals in life yet, ourselves are also portraying images to others. I have to accept... and swallow the harsh truth...
SECONDLY... I've been having this mixed feelings inside for some time... I don't know is i'm thinking and reading too much into some issues... or is I really do feel something? SIGH...

time made us see th'rO pp| | Saturday, November 21, 2009
Well... i finally realised some things... After so many happenings in life... i understood that some people tend to put others down when they're envious of them. It hurts... for both parties... i regarded her as friend... but yet, her words are like thorns that pierce... Sometimes, this made me want to avoid her... However i know... we can't always possibly hear good words once we stepped into the society... Yet, i have to put on a smile and pretend im not annoyed over her comments... Is not im fake... but is just that im used to all these hurting comments... i've listened, received and tolerated all these since young... im immune...
