I feel that nothing I do will ever be good enough. No matter how hard I try. How much effort I make. The worst is always the main focus. Am I that horrible? Maybe I am. Sigh.

Dear Mr Grumpy/ Victor Chin,

You have not been a good boy/man. So out of the three lovely Christmas presents below, you can only choose one. Choose wisely because each box has something different/pleasant/unpleasant inside.

1. The Small Cute Box

2. The Medium-Size Box

3. The Big Box

Christmas Is Around the Corner!

2009-12-22T08:30:00.001+08:00

Everyone, have an awesome Christmas and fab new year. I know I will! ;)

Okay. I just downloaded Puri! on my iPhone. It's bringing out the teen in me. Haha.

Ooopsie! Typo. I'm BUSY studying. But while we are on the topic of busts, look what I recently bought for RM20.

Silicone IMPLANTS!

Naah, just kidding. It's actually a 'freebra'. I know it looks obscene and salah. Haha.

Everyone is a Little Crazy

2009-12-04T18:01:00.000+08:00

I just read Norwegian Wood by prolific Japanese author Haruki Murakami and this is one of a few books that left a haunting impression on me. His depiction of death and depression is disturbingly real. Norwegian Wood explores the facets of the human emotion and the complexities that lie within.

The characters in Norwegian Wood are flawed; they walk on the tight rope known as mental illness. Three characters plunge to their deaths when life deals a blow that leaves them imbalanced. Murakami's description of their struggle with the dark side of living is intriguingly fascinating.

Everyone has a little crazy in them. A streak of absolute insanity that remains dormant until something triggers it. Be it the death of someone close or the realisation that everything we've ever lived for is meaningless. A small crack in your personality and slowly, you begin to slip. Lose grip of who you are. Humans are fragile and it doesn't take much for someone to cross over into no man's land. But once the core of your soul crumples, it is immensely difficult to return back to sanity.

Try dwelling onto the most negative thoughts in your mind. Think about it repetitively, everyday and every waking second and the chances are you would feel not quite right. I have memories and feelings that I choose not to revisit. These bits from the past hurt so much that I've buried them in a corner of my heart. I honestly believe that if I think about them frequently, I will never succeed in being a happy person. Instead, I would be a successfully depressed person.

That's the Equivalent of 162 Toilet Seats!

Worried

2009-12-02T23:09:00.000+08:00

Grandma has been in hospital since Monday, but she'll most likely be discharged tomorrow. While that's good news, there's also more to worry about. The maid is back to Indonesia for a break and there's no one to help cook n clean for the old folks. Grandma isn't well enough to do all these and neither is grandma. Things wld be better whn the maid returns, but till then I guess hiring a temp maid wld hv to do. Daily temp maids aren't cheap! RM100 from 9am to 5pm. And the temp maid wld need to be trained! Sigh.

Donating H Juice

2009-12-02T13:10:00.000+08:00

Yesterday there was a blood donation drive going on in the lobby of Menara Standard Chartered and I knew I just had to give mine. This is my second time donating, the first was about two years back. I've always wanted to donate after that but somehow I kept missing the dates of blood donation campaigns. The picture above is of me looking damn 'hero'. Fear not, needles only hurt pussies.

However, checkout my face below. I'm grimacing in pain. OKAY. I wasn't that painful. Like an intense ant bite.

Vic and I have been watching True Blood. Apart from the totally unnecessary nudity and excessive inclusions of sex scenes i.e, Jason Stackhouse humping some middle-aged divorcee behind Merlotte's, I love the show. Anna Paquin is delightful to watch and very endearing as Sookie Stackhouse. The plot is crazy fun.

Blood is a life force. Everyone who is healthy and able, should try and make it a habit to donate blood once in a while. You never know when your loved ones might need some. :)

So, click here to find out where the National Blood Bank will be having their blood donation drives and head on over there!

P/S: According to Wikipedia, "A typical Whole Blood donation is the equivalent of burning approximately 650 calories..."

From the Past: Graduation

2009-11-30T18:01:00.000+08:00

Over the long weekend, I stumbled upon these! My degree graduation was way back in August, 2006. It was my first time on University Sains Malaysia's (USM) campus grounds and I must say, it is a really beautiful university. I took a Mass Communication twinning programme between Taylor's and USM; so, I didn't have the chance to study in the Penang main campus. I must've missed out on the fun campus life.

Me and bro.

I am so waiting for his graduation next year! I'm going to buy the biggest teddy bear and make him hug it in front of everyone! HAHAHAHA!

Miss Gan Pooi Mun! I <3 you! I don't know why I did not manage to take pictures with Priscilla and Chin Pooi Mun. :(

My complexion looks so perfect in this picture. You wanna know the secret?

I piled on soooo much make up in the morning. Foundation. Powder. Concealer. Eye shadow. Mascara. Eyeliner. So that it lasted throughout the ceremony and the sweltering heat. My face is actually full of sweat. Haha.

P/S: Do I look better with long hair or my current shot one?

Why Do I Blog?

2009-11-29T01:55:00.000+08:00

Every now and then, someone passes a comment about my blog that makes me kinda uncomfortable. It's usually something along the lines of, "Wah, your blog all about food, food, food. No wonder you fat already!" or "Wah, your blog very pink ah.".

Granted, these are perfectly normal comments with no harm intended. However, comments like these are also unnecessarily redundant. I like food and the colour pink IS my favourite shade and naturally, my blog would evolve around the things that I like. So, why repeat it? The nicest thing anyone has probably said about my blog is... "Nice photos". LOL!

Sometimes, I fall into a lazy spell and stop blogging. True, I'm more motivated to blog when there are pictures involved. Hey, I enjoy photography. I like pretty pictures. Umm... posts with pictures still constitutes as blogging, no? Anyway, during bouts of laziness... I contemplate giving up blogging. You know, ignoring this blog until it falls into a state of boring neglect. But then, I can't (so far)! Slowly but surely, something will come along to spark the blogging bug and I am back to posting about food, myself and umm.. myself.

All bloggers have their own reasons to blog. Some do it for the money. Some do it for the fame. Some do it because they are bored. Some do it simply because they enjoy it. I think I've sorta fallen in love with blogging. I started over two years back because I wanted something to occupy my disturbed mind (and heart) and now, I find myself voluntarily typing away for www.mcallie8.blogspot.com.

I blog mainly for personal satisfaction and for family and friends. Nothing pleases me more than a finished entry complete with pictures and text. It's the same proud feeling seeing your author byline in the papers. Most of the time, I blog about fluff... nothing serious and nothing that hits too close to home.

It's always assumed that just because you blog, you blab away everything on your blog. I can't speak for others, but for me... I'm always cautious. Everyone uses the internet. So, you never know who's reading right now! I've read blogs where people bitch about their jobs and bosses. How super dangerous! Bosses could be reading every gripe that their employees make online! Eek! Hi Boss! I LOVE MY JOB!!!

I'm really straying from my title and I guess it is because my thoughts are all over the place. I hope this post is reminds myself on the days I feel like giving up, that I actually enjoy doing this shit. It would be pretty cool that if in ten years I'm still at it. I would have 12 years of my life archived online.

Semangat False Eyelashes

2009-11-26T18:16:00.000+08:00

Last year, I had a desire to master the art of wearing fake lashes. I was so into it that I bought the best fake lash glue -- Shu Uemura's Eyelash Adhesive. Then after several attempts, I got lazy and forgot all about wearing falsies... until yesterday during lunchtime. I was so inspired that I bought new falsies and wore them this morning.

And, it looks pretty good! Even Mom gave them the thumbs up!

Surprisingly, it did not take me very long to put them on. Take eyelashes out of box. Practise sticking them on eyelids. Put on Shu's glue. Stick em on. Adjust, adjust a little bit. Batt lashes to make sure that they don't drop off. Examine corners to ensure all nicely stuck on. Done!

I promise not to be lazy anymore. After all, there's no such thing as an ugly woman... just a lazy one. LOL! A make-up artist told me this once.

Got mine for RM8.90 from the FaceShop. I chose this pair because of its rather unique lash pattern.

Mask Me

2009-11-26T10:29:00.000+08:00

I've been super paranoid about my complexion lately. Getting old. Will soon be 30! Wrinkles and sagging boobs all come hand in hand with age. Damn you, TIME!

I want to have my 16-year old body forever. You know, cos I stopped growing taller somewhere around that age and since then, I have been expanding sideways! How sad indeed.

Thus, I've been indulging in masks to try and preserve and pamper my skin. Of course I don't use everything all at once, but each periodically.

These Montagne Jeunesse masks have been sold at Guardian for several years now, but I never felt the urge to buy them until recently when I was on the hunt for masks. What attracted me? Well, the models on the packaging looked so deliriously happy with those stuff on their face.

Look at her... her eyes are covered by some leaves and strawberries, but still smiling like damn syok.

I bought the strawberry souffle and I tell you, it smells so freaking good. Like got damn alot of strawberries all squashed and smeared on my face. Bliss.

Sometimes I get very stressed out

Everytime I use this mask, I do feel somewhat calmer and more zen. It smells great!

Some two for RM9.90 mask that I bought from Sasa. Have not used it yet!

My long time favourite peel off mask or 'masque' as it says on the packaging. I like to analyse all the dead skin and blackheads stuck onto the mask after I peel it off my face. Satisfying.

I used to buy Pure and Mild's hydrating mask, but since that brand has been discontinued... I decided to try ZA's. Not bad lah, it's very cooling and my face feels soft and supple the next morning.

Was introduced to this brand by Jean. This L'Occitane mask is damn cun ok! Can feel my pores tightening and being cleansed the five to ten minutes I have it on. Smells fab as well.

Please ignore my horrid nails. I didn't buy this Biotherm mask, it was a freebie that Vic got. Whenever I wash my face in the morning after applying the mask at night, I can still feel it there! Quite a lasting eh!

And the last...

Bedak sejuk! (Cold Powder)

Cheap, smells nice and effective when having an outbreak of red angry pimples!

Take a few pellets, dissolve in cold water and apply on face. If you have a stand fan, put your face in front of it for the ultimate chill. Cold cold cold!

Remembering

2009-11-25T23:17:00.000+08:00

A long time ago, I was in an unhealthy relationship that left me less than whole when it ended. I didn't know who I was. My individuality was chopped off to fit in the image of his ideal girlfriend.

I vowed to never again allow myself to be treated that way... and I have not ever since. I guess, in some ways I'm lucky. That experience made me realise how easy it is to be confused and consumed by 'love'.

Nowadays, I believe that if someone loves you...

They want the best for you
They will be your biggest cheerleader
They will always be there
They make time
They recognise you as a top priority
They listen
They care about your feelings
They give you the freedom to explore yourself
They encourage you to be the best tht you can be

This is love at it's greatest.

However, if 'love' for you means crying yourself to sleep, starving to be skinny, feeling constantly insecure, having to put up with substandard treatment... then my friend, that is not love but instead an ugly emotional imposter.

Before I sleep tonight, I'm gonna pray n hope that all those stuck in bad relationships get the perfect and pure kinda love that everyone is entitled to.

The Night I Ate Sperm

2009-11-23T14:22:00.002+08:00

It was a rainy night a few weeks back when this incident occurred. It was a special night for Vic and I, so we decided to try something we've never done before

SPERM

I ate sperm. Well, to be exact, BOTH Vic and I digested sperm!

HAHAHAHA! I bet a few of you grossed out at the title of this entry, but I assure the all mentioned above did take place

Since everyone assumes that bloggers blog about every disgusting little dirty detail in their lives, I'm going to give you the low down of that scandalous night

Where the sinning took place: Xenri D'River View in Wisma Elken, Old Klang Road

What it sperm tastes like: Chawanmushi

What sperm costs: RM28

What sperm looks like:

Wha? What? Waitaminute.... I'm talking about food. Not whatever xxx things I lead you into thinking that I was talking about. Teeheehee

The picture above and below are of Tara Shirako also known as Cod Fish Sperm Sacs. And they taste pretty much like chawanmushi, folks. Texture wise, it was rather mushy with a buttery feel

Vic and I have been meaning to try Xenri for the longest time when I first heard about this place from Chze Hong. Thus, to celebrate a special occasion for the both of us, we headed over to Xenri for a royal feast

Everyone has been commenting that Vic lost a lot of weight and I am positively jealous because I am getting nothing but fatter. *glares at Vic*

And no. I'm not naked, just wearing a black tube dress with pink flowers

The Mizuna Salad (RM18). We were told that this was a very special Japanese salad dressed with wasabi sauce

Next up, Igloo Sashimi! At RM138, this is the most expensive dish we've ever ordered for the both of us. But this is also the best sashimi we've both ever had in our 59 years of living (25+34)

The sashimi is insanely fresh. The tuna oh-so-freaking-soft-that-it-really-melts-in-your-mouth! Salmon uber yummy and the other fishes were so so lovely. Sharks must have a grand ole time eating raw fish. Haha. Bonus points for the cute igloo and decor that came along with the sashimi; though Vic believes that they priced all that in

Ta-ta-tasty!

Grill Tuna Jaw (RM68) was also another highlight of the dinner. That jaw came from one big Tuna! It was the length of my forearm and was grilled to perfection. Crispy skin with soft tender flesh. Gawd, I'm salivating thinking about this dish

This is a must for all fish lovers

Cute teapot here is Dobin Mushi (RM16), seafood soup

A squeeze of lime adds zest to the soup. Yums

Garlic fried rice (RM9). Nothing terribly fantastic with this one, but it did not disappoint either. I guess, it is almost impossible to screw up garlic fried rice?

I heart Hotate Ringgoyaki (RM25) aka Scallops in an Apple. Another aesthetically pleasing dish that made my tums happy

Scallops with apple cubes in some kinda creamy custard-like sauce

Master of the Obvious: pictures of the menu

The green tea ice cream (RM8) was pretty good! One of the best I've tasted in KL, but still losing out to Ma Maison's in Singapore

Xenri is located at a quiet corner off Old Klang Road. You would never find this place unless you blur blur make wrong turn. At night and weekends, there's ample free parking.

For reservations, call 03-7783 8118.

I recommend this place for a nice party or a romantic dinner.

They have private rooms too!

Soooooooooo stuffed.

After dinner, we went to inspect Vic's new house. There was an intruder there.

He was green, slimy and looked like a frog.

SHOO!

Of Hot Stones, Bad Skin and Salty Food

2009-11-19T17:26:00.005+08:00

Had a great girly day out with my bestie Sheau Ing. Every time she comes back from Singapore, I feel like I am playing tour guide! Haha.

Planned for an all out indulgence session at Holistic Esthetics in Solaris Mont'Kiara. They were having an anniversary promotion and so we had the Hot Stone Spa Massage package for RM128 (normal price: RM380)!

The package included: aromatherapy relaxing massage for an hour, hot stone back massage - 30 minutes, ear candling and aromatic body polish. All together two hours plus of bliss.

Did we enjoy ourselves? The massage was great. The hot stone back massage was awesome during the session, but the skin on my back was red and felt burnt the following day. I don't know if it is supposed to be this way, but it was not very pleasant. The ear candling was pure crap. I'm not going through another session ever. First, it's not one bit enjoyable and therapeutic. How can the sound of a slow-burning wick in your ear be nice? I kept imagining that a bomb was going to go off.

Of course, after the session... there was the product pushing. I received feedback that I should start going for facials as my complexion was less than perfect. :(

We were famished after the massage and headed to Ole Ole Bali.

I like the ambiance and the food here. It's salty and tasty!

The rice was fragrant and everything else sure had enough salt.

Post dinner drinks

Goofy pictures of me

What a Beauty... the Canon S90

2009-11-18T14:50:00.000+08:00

Took a walk around Sungei Wang yesterday to check out the latest in Canon's revived S Series - the Canon S90.

And I think I'm in love.

She's really pretty and responded well to my fondling.

Price wise: Retailing at about RM1,700 at the Canon Concept Stores. Whereas a survey around Sungei Wang had prices of RM1450+2GB memory card (Bintang), RM1550+8GB memory card (Boeing Photo ground floor).

So far, I've read a lot of good reviews. This review by Ken Rockwell hails the Canon S90 as the World's Best Digital Pocket Camera.

I'm pretty much sold on the Canon S90, unless someone offers me a Leica D-Lux 4...

My Back is Whack

2009-11-15T22:56:00.000+08:00

Ouch. I slipped and fell down the stairs last night. My back feels sorta numb and stiff. I pulled a muscle in my neck too. :( Advise to all: don't walk down the stairs with slightly wet feet (I wiped my feet on a mat but it was no help). Sure fall and land on ur ass. In my case I landed on my butt and spine. Urgh. Pls let me wake up tommorow feeling normal.

#1 Swim class was fab! I enjoyed my one hour lesson and I can't wait for the next round. Blup blup blup! Learnt how to breathe properly and how to really use a kickboard. Been holding it the wrong way!

#2 I'm eyeing a new cam. I want something small but powerful (like me! Lol). Something that's compact and yet able to deliver. So, Canon G11, Canon S90 and Panasonic Lumix LX3 are what I have in mind. Price is of course a concern.

#3 In efforts to reduce my eye bags and lines (NOT WRINKLES) I've been sleeping earlier every night. ;) You know, I won't stay 16 forever *cough cough*

The Time Traveler's Wife

2009-11-09T11:49:00.001+08:00

I cried. At the movies and when reading the book. I'm always rather biased towards movies that have been adapted from books as in most cases; movies just don't do justice to the depth and richness found in books. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind such movies, it is just that I'm a book lover and would pick a good book over a movie any day. Movies provide a graphic visualisation of the book's characters and story plot and if you've enjoyed reading a certain book... chances are the movie would bring to life everything that you've imagined in your mind.

Anyway, back to the Time Traveler's Wife. There's been a lot of buzz about this movie and many have hailed this as THE most romantic movie of 2009. I read the Time Traveler's Wife before watching the movie. The book really moved me and I found myself weeping at the end (I won't include any spoilers here, don't worry). All I'm gonna say is that I'm a huge sucker for stories where the two lovers are separated against their will. The ending in the book was so utterly tragic and yet, so completely sweet --- love's unwavering promise. I thoroughly enjoyed the read.

And since I loved the book, I was pretty excited to catch the flick. Rachel McAdams proves that she can pull romance in The Notebook (another book that I cried while reading). I thought she is the perfect actress to play Clare. Thank god that McAdams and the oh-so-hunky Eric Bana (Henry) had chemistry. Overall, I thought that the movie was pretty good... except for one major gripe..... WHY CHANGE THE ENDING? The movie would've delivered more impact and been better off with the original ending. Bah.

Must Love Food

2009-11-06T18:05:00.003+08:00

*****Before I begin with this food post, let me first warn you that it is going to be LOOOOOONG and going to take ages to load.

Ok. You have been warned. And another warning is that you are probably going to get REALLY hungry after seeing all the pictures. Please refrain from eating the person next to you for he/she could taste really bad. Raw human meat is not exactly a favourite amongst many.

If you have not already noticed, mcallie8.blogspot.com has gone through a revamp. I was bored of the previous standard blogger template and opted for something minimalistic and fresh. Also, I wanted more room in the post section to display photos big big! So, along with this new template... I have to create new pages to be linked to the pink strip under my header. This post entry is for the MustLoveFood tab.

Now, a lot of people have told me that I know how to eat. Yeah, everyone knows how to eat. Open mouth. Put food in. Chew. Swallow. But, I guess what well meaning friends mean is that I know how to eat good food and that I'm a foodie.

I never really considered myself a foodie until a few years back when I discovered that I have a hoard of food pictures and extra flab around my once flat ~~now fat~~ tummy. I'm the type of person who plans what to eat ahead of meals. I like to visualise my lunch/dinner and fantasise about it until I have it. For instance, I'm headed to Sunway Pyramid for the Time Taveler's Wife tonight. I will probably have Japanese - Sushi or Pasta Zanmai, Pasta de Gohan or... maybe Canton-i or I could surprise myself and eat something random.

There are people who don't care what they eat as long as it fills their stomach, but I am not such a person. If given a chance, I would like every meal that I have to be a good one and worth the calories. I'm sure there are many fellow foodies out there who empathise with me. For the love of food, y'all! For the love of food!

Moving on, here's a summary of the food porn that I snapped. I had so many pictures to choose from and was quite lost at which ones to pick. Here's a whole load of them that I have categorised for your pleasure.

Click here for all my previous food blog entries.

First up, PORK!!!!!

This is the infamous Char Siew that the Singaporean boys lust after

My all-time favourite Pork Chop. Only at Yut Kee in Dang Wangi KL. This is a must try. Everyone that I've brought here falls in love with the pork chop.

Roasted Pork @ Siew Yok at the food court of Siam Paragon, Bangkok. Notice how their roasted pork is so much leaner than ours? Refer to the picture below. Grandma got this Siew Yok straight from the market.

Some terror pork burger from the streets of Sukhumvit, Bangkok. Another case of looks good, but tastes mediocre.

Above and below: Pork from Checkers at Damansara Heights.

Heavenly.

Ai Yo! Where did I have this little bugger? I don't remember where. Sorry, guys!

This was snapped at Mom's birthday dinner in October. German pork something something in the Restoran Kepala Ikan Segar (Fresh Fish Head Restaurant) in USJ 4.

I've said it once, and I will shout it again....

PORK IS A WAY OF LIFE!

Are you hungry yet?

Next up, random pictures of meat which I cannot ascertain if it is pork, beef, lamb, duck, chicken, mutton, rabbit, veal or ........ guinea pig!!!! Noooooo.....

Note: Milk, the Greedy Pig.

Ai Yo... I really don't know what is this! But it was fab. Found@Max! Kitchen & Wines.

Standard breakfast at The Residence in Bangok. The sausage and ham are either pork or chicken.

Tandoori Chicken in KL.

This is Yong Tau Foo @ Wa Kiow, Jalan Peel, KL. The reason why it is categorised as meat, is because I honestly do not know what is stuffed inside. Tastes like fish. Tastes like pork. Beats me. I don't care really because it is da bomb.

Chicken Kebab at a middle eastern restaurant. Below is Hummus, another favourite of mine. Made out of chickpeas, which I love, Hummus is really tasty!

Briyani. Is that lamb or beef? I don't know!

Why, HELLO PIZZA!!!! What are you doing here! You are not meat!

One of my more recent loves, Foie Gras. Call me inhumane, cruel, evil and unkind. Call me everything you can think of, but I will eat Foie Gras. It is like a orgasm in your mouth--if there is such a thing.

I'm not all about meat, meat, meat... I also like to feast on other things....such as:

Seafood!!!

This here is yabby. Yabbies? It tasted good.

Otak-Otak Egg Omelette from Joy Cafe in OUG.

Some very famous stuffed crab dish in Kemaman, Terengganu.

Another one of my indulgences - HAM TAN HAI! Salted egg crab! Oh my love!

Sashimi at Tosaya in Wisma Cosway

My first ever oyster that I ate and did not spit out. Mother's Day celebration 2009.

Oodles of Noodles

Phad Thai in Chinatown, Bangok. The eating gems you find when wandering around the streets of Bangkok. I love Bangkok, it's like a fucking wonderland of cheap clothes, food and massages!

Every since I was a little girl, I loved Hokkien Mee. Here's one of the best in KL from Weng Hing Coffee Shop in Imbi. Fishing for pork lard hidden in the dark noodles is absolutely trilling. And when you find that little bastard, quickly pop it in your mouth and crunch away... in fears that your mates might hijack it away.

Pasta de Gohan. Fusion Japanese food that Vic had initially disappoved, but is now slowly learning to tolerate. MEN!

Ngau Kee Beef Ball Noodles in Tong Shin, KL.

Vegetables and Bread?

I didn't always like Caesar Salad, until I had the one at Buonasera in SS2. It became a love and addiction. I craved it all the time.

UFO? No... some deep fried potato chips.

I had this in Cameron Highlands at Summer Kaye Garden Restaurant in Cameron Highlands (which I am not sure whether it is still in operation as it looked close the last time I went). I thought it was Pumpkin Leaves, but on close inspection... I don't think it is. Mad delicious!

Dark Cherries. Sexy. Mysterious.

I eat a lot of bread. I love fresh bread. Bread can immediately taste better after you reheat it in the oven. It becomes crispier and more flavourful!

Dessert
Those on a diet, cry your heart out because I am going to show you some dessert now. You can't eat it because you are watching your sugar and calorie intake! Haha. Boohoo!

Fresh Strawberries and Ice Cream at Stawberry Moment Dessert Cafe in Cameron Highlands.

Gazillion Cupcakes!!!!

Yogur Berry has a sweet spot in my heart, but my heart is torn whenever I'm in Singapore and Yami Yogurt is within reach.

I ate gold once.

Butter cake is simply irresistable! My friend Don makes FANTASTIC butter cakes. Call him at 016- 293 8291.

Pancakes@ Trader's Hotel

The Best Green Tea Ice Cream I've Ever Had at Ma Maison in Singapore. Must try if you are ever in the island.

Why Do I Love Food?

The answer is simple. I live to eat and I eat to live.

Does it make sense? Hahaha... I thought I would sound all profound and insightful leaving you in awe.

Anyway, good food makes life so much richer and enjoyable. Good food along with the company of great friends is life at its best. Cheers to that!

Remember!

I Have Eye Bags and Wrinkles

2009-11-04T11:51:00.000+08:00

The other day during lunch, Sook Ting and Elaine were eyeing the lines under my eyes. LINES! Different than eye bags. Not enough sleep and the effects of gravity gives you eye bags.

Lines and wrinkles = SIGNS OF AGING = I AM AN OLD HAG.

So, true to my vain nature... I immediately bought some eye masks.

Here's my disgruntled face:

Please ignore my jammies.

I also got myself a sleeping mask for better snooze quality. When I am at work, Mookie gets to wear it.
