Fairytale (OLD POEM)

Since many people were asking me to update my blog, I guess I'll just post my old poems for the time being. I really dun have anything interesting to blog about. No, I don't wanna talk about my damn sucky results. Really disappointed with it. I really needed a good gpa dis time to pull up my already torn n shredded results. Afraid to appeal cause am scared that they will give me a lower grade if I appeal. About the S'pore trip. I'll think about it if I wanna post something. Cause I'm lack of pictures and dun have the mood to blog about it.


So here's an old poem I wrote sometime 4 years ago. I give you Fairytale...

Once upon a time,
When the sky was still blue,
When the grass was so green,
When your words were so true.

Once upon a time,
When the river ran free,
When the birds sang to me,
When we laughed in glee.

Once upon a time,
When we were so close,
When you held me near your heart,
When you treated me like a rose.

Once upon a time,
When you sang a song to me,
When you wrote me beautiful poems,
When you paid the ticket fee.

Once upon a time,
When we talked on the phone,
When we crossed on the road,
When we sat together alone.

Once upon a time,
Was not too long ago,
But it was like a fairytale,
Something I'll never let go.

Arabic Anyone?

First day of my official sem break, of course went "long kai" lar.. Jailed at home for 3 weeks d.. will become crazy wan ler.. Like I mentioned in my previous post, which was like erm... 12 hours ago or smtg... I went to MidValley. Sat the KTM an planned to try out the ladies coach. When the train arrived, I saw very clearly that there were ladies coach logos on the doors of the KTM, but the passengers were majority guys. Weird hor, and this happened twice in a day ler.. Though the second time was not so bad. At least there were more ladies in the "ladies" coach. What's the purpose of making a ladies' coach when guys could board it? Stupid rite? But I dun blame the guys larr.. Gotta wait so long for the next coach to come.. Of course everyone is selfish mar rite?

Ok fine, this post isn't bout KTM. It's bout me and darling went and try out Arabic Food. After shopped at MidValley alone, I went to Subang to meet my dearest darling for dinner. Not gonna see him for the next 2 weeks so now gonna grab every chance I get to meet him first, so we went to Sunway Pyramid. Since we both like to experience and try out new food, Darling suggested Arabic food. Once he even wanted to try Palestine food.

Our dinner for the night... Tarbush Restaurant @ Sunway Pyramid

First shot of darling..

Pita in plastic.. Lols.. We were wondering what was it for.. Ate it with my kebab..

Pita and Me

Darling said the table design looked nice.. So I'm actually only a "Kehlehfeh" model

Too poor till we drank Pepsi.. Cheapest there is soft drink..
Well, other drinks were jus normal, nothing new or special to try oso.. @RM 5

Pita out from the plastic.

Some deco behind me.. I wonder what is it.. Some candu thingy??

Yeahh.. Food arrive.. Darling's Nasi Briyani with Lamb.. He loved the tender meat.. Really very soft ler.. @ RM 22

This is my Shish Kebab... I guess Shish is grilled @ RM 24

Eating Darling;s nasi briyani..

Nasi Briyani

My Kebab gonna wrap wit pita

Darling mum muming

Me mum muming my kebab

nasi Briyani + lamb

My kebab and it's lamb

Thumbs up... the food was not bad.. Worth a try and experience.. though it may seem the same as eating at mamak shop.. But this is real Arabic cuisine with Arabic feel

My Kebab topped with cheese.. Good combination...

Across the hall

Surrounding pic

They even provide wet towels served on nice design tray..

After all, the food was yummy, and since we love to try new things this is worth an experience.. I thought the dinner was gonna be expensive, but it wasn't at all.. Darling's Nasi Briyani Lamb was only RM 22 and they served a generous portion of Lamb. Mine was not bad also, it's not reli lamb chunks but I think they minced it.. Service charge was 10% ..

Arghhh... Soo tired from walking.. Think I shud hop into bed now.. Nite Nite People. Sweet Dreams!!

The War Has Ended (for now)

Yippy... This is the first morning... after soooo long that I woke up and do not need to think bout STUDYING.. The war for this semester has ended... But war gonna start in a few months time cos its only a short sem break.. Only got 2 weeks of break this sem.. The shortest I guess throughout my whole uni life. Yesterday evening was my last paper, and darling came to meet me to celebrate my freedom from books and tutorials. He he.. Suppose to go Seoul Garden and movie wit classmates but I passed cos the movie was too late and I din have transport back from lrt station. So darling came down to have dinner with me. I wanted a superb dinner, eat until I satisfied and full so we went to Wangsa Walk for more choices. I chose BBQ Chicken cause I'm in the mood for Western plus I've been wanting to try for quite some time d.



Menu


My order: Sixth Senses (Vanilla & Choc ice cream, nata de coco, red beans n smtg else I think. This Dessert Drink is very very sweet especially the beans)

Darling's order; Iced Chocolate

My Order: BBQ Jerk (yummy)

Darling's order: Tortilla Charbroiled (Darling like the way they marinated the chicken)



A bite of my chicken

Stole darling's drink

Flies Flies

He stole my Dessert Drink

My Chicken left the bone only..


Before going back... I took picture with Barney.. It was late and almost everyone went back d.. that's why I was so brave to sat on it.. lols..

Just felt so glad that all these exams had over but only just for now. Life is a never ending challenge (Dis I believe) Am sooo loooking forward to the BFF vacation with Sarveni, Saree and Sachina. Going to Singapore and its a budget trip but togetherness and experience is what that counts at the end of the day! One more week to my trip and we haven even plan our trip..

Haha.. gotta get a pair of walking shoes and so I'm going to Midvalley for window shopping in a while's time. Insisted on posting this up first. Gonna have the whole day for myself... And hopefully meet darling for dinner...

Chao peeps!!

Bulletin Post: Midnight Snacks with Charlene: I've Never Been To Me

It's 1.40 am and I have a 9a.m paper later and my brain is still quite empty. Imma gonna do well?? I'm doubting it. Staying up late, of course I need something to keep me awake and keep my tummy happy. :)

So I stole my aunt's Golden Bear Biscuit (yummy), aunt's Lexus Choc Sandwich Crackers and also my last layer cake. Sobs.. Gonna top up my rations soon.




Was still disappointed about the paper yesterday. Not only my A had flew away, but I guess I couldn't catch hold of the B too. Well, this is like one of the papers that could help me pull up my CGPA and hopefully would not put me in embarrassment in my graduation. :(

Really didn't have any study mood since study week. Thought I would be more serious when the exam is nearing but I guess I never learn my lessons. And the paper yesterday (i mean Wednesday) didn't help much to strengthen my study mood. Just everytime I opened up my book or looked down on my notes, I just couldn't do it. I just couldn't understand what's written on them. And my mind constantly brought me back to Wednesday. I know we should forget and let go whatever that have passed, but this time is just ain't the same. It's like loosing my final hope and the sun will never rise and shine upon my face ever again.

Okay, stop those sad little pathetic moans... I love listening to Lite fm because they play most of my favourite songs. Yeap, I love oldies and had grew up listening to them. While other kids sang Bla Bla Black Sheep or Barney songs in the car during family trips, I sang along to the songs played on my dad's car's cassette player. And then when I was like 8 I started listening to teen pop songs or modern songs which are now *oldies* lols. Not only till I was 15 I found out about Lite fm and all my *oldies* senses came back. Hee.. I listened to it on my way to school, when I come home from school and when I rushed to finish my homework at night. The songs are so so soothing and its just definitely the right way to start a lovely harmonious day and ease my exhaustion. Still remember during a Math class in school and we were learning about sets or probability smtg like that, teacher surveyed about radio stations. When the time came for Lite fm to be voted, yeah you guessed it right, I raised up my hand boldly. Shamefully I was the only one. Embarrassed... There goes my pride. There's a student name LAME in class. Hell, that should be me!

Neways, I had done silly things like wrote my essays based on the songs I've heard on Lite fm which I remembered clearly - Honesty by Billy Joel. I even wrote lyrics of some other songs as my phrases which had caused me low low marks cause teacher said in essays they shouldn't rhyme.

At the same time I had fallen in love with a few songs that I've never heard before when I was younger. Some are from Lobo, and one of my favs is Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle ( I would wait every night to listen to it if I'm lucky they'd play it. Couldn dw songs last time mar.) And also I loved loved loved 2 songs from Luther Van Ross - Dance With My Father and I'd Rather (my fav)

And one more that I'm listening right now is the title:- I've Never Been to Me by Charlene. It's one of the tops in my list. Gonna post the lyrics here too.. you listen to the song on youtube first and then decide if you like it. But I love it!


Hey lady, you lady, cursing at your life
You're a discontented mother and a regimented wife
I've no doubt you dream about the things you'll never do
But, I wish someone had talked to me
Like I wanna talk to you.....

Oh, I've been to Georgia and California and anywhere I could run
I took the hand of a preacher man and we made love in the sun
But I ran out of places and friendly faces because I had to be free
I've been to paradise but I've never been to me

Please lady, please lady, don't just walk away
'Cause I have this need to tell you why I'm all alone today
I can see so much of me still living in your eyes
Won't you share a part of a weary heart that has lived million lies....

Oh, I've been to Niece and the Isle of Greece while I've sipped champagne on a yacht
I've moved like Harlow in Monte Carlo and showed 'em what I've got
I've been undressed by kings and I've seen some things that a woman ain't supposed to see
I've been to paradise, but I've never been to me

[spoken]
Hey, you know what paradise is?
It's a lie, a fantasy we create about people and places as we'd like them to be
But you know what truth is?
It's that little baby you're holding, it's that man you fought with this morning
The same one you're going to make love with tonight
That's truth, that's love......

Sometimes I've been to crying for unborn children that might have made me complete
But I took the sweet life, I never knew I'd be bitter from the sweet
I've spent my life exploring the subtle whoring that costs too much to be free
Hey lady......
I've been to paradise, (I've been to paradise)
But I've never been to me
I love the 2 last stanzas alot. I used to listen to this on my way to skool if I'm lucky. Hee.. And had always looked forward to this song. Whenever they started to play it I would jumped off my chair and turned up the volume. 
Well, looks like I've been very long here. So gonna enjoy this song that I had jus downloaded. Heee... :) and oh, of course.... ***STUDY*** blahhh...

Bulletin Post: I Cook on my Busiest Days. Damn Right!

I really don't understand why I would cook everytime I'm busy. First paper starting tomorrow, and I can proudly say that, * I have not studied anything*!

I opened up my books, read, glanced, flipped but in my brain is ZERO about Optimization. Though it's open book and I believe this is quite an A paper or at least a B, I believe too that God does not help those who do not help themselves. I really want an A this time after soooo looonggg... But I think it had just flew away, didn't it. *Big sigh*

I thought of cooking spaghetti so I could cook extra sauce and just heat them up for other meals. Boiling the spaghetti don't need much effort anyway so it's convenient. So here it is....



garlic + minced chicken + sausages

half jar or a little more of Prego Spaghetti sauce

the spaghetti is done

and so is the sauce... Makan Time...

Eating again while writing this... hee.. I shud go clean up.. Taaa... And oh, Please pray that I would not blank out in the exam tomorrow. Appreciated! Thx!

Bulletin Post: Mee Suah Soup

Sorry I was MIA for a week cos I went back to my cosy home for the study break. Internet connection back home is dial-up so it sux. It would take ages to upload the photos so I was so lazy to blog.

Came back yesterday. So not used to eating alone cos when i'm home I don't have to worry bout food. I had brunch, tea, dinner and fruits all waiting for me to gulp down. Hop into the car, hop down, sit and wait, eat eat eat, hop back into the car and... "Booksss, I've come home".

Talking bout books, hhmmm.. I don't have any mood to study this semester, and will doubt myself of doing well, yet again. I have lost all the *hardworkingness* in me. I remember when I was sitting for my SPM, I may not be smart but I worked twice as hard as others. I would caged myself in the room and only come out when food is served. Looking back, I was really impressed by myself. *Chehwah!! Perasan betul aku!*

So, my first paper starts this wednesday, *Wish me luck ppl. Thank you* and I hope I can have better progress in my revision. Do have some hope this semester for I think I did quite okay for the coursework in most subjects except for one darn CPCI of course. I would be so happy till I could fly if I can even PASS. Yes you heard me rite, PASS. For the rest, I'm expecting miracles to happen and hopefully can pull up my cgpa a little for I only have 3 more semesters left to graduation. Sobs Sobs. I am about to come out of my little shell to face the devilistic(it's not a proper word) working world.

Okay stop! I have run out of topic. This is a post of my dinner, Mee Suah and it's my first time cooking it. And I have failed badly cos it's tasteless and I don't have all the ingredients.

I only have chicken, eggs, mee suah and water.


Stir fried chicken

Then fried the egg and mixed with the chicken

Add in one bowl of water and bring to boil. And when the water has boiled, put in the mee suah and wait for it to be cooked. Like Maggi Mee.

There we have Mee Suah

and the soup. So it's Mee Suah Soup

When I was younger my mummy would ask me what I wanna eat today. And I would always say mee suah... See... I'm a genuine Hokkien Mui. Though I'm Hokkien + Cantonese but I have always been close to my dad's side so that makes me more Hokkienish!

To summarize, my first attempt of Mee Suah soup failed, cos it was tasteless. I think I should get pork next time and marinate it first. The rest I can ask my mum how to cook. This time I jus had some guidance from this web. http://www.deliciousasianfood.com/2007/01/25/mee-suah-soup/

Can try it out, it's as easy as Maggi and much healthier. Well, I'm actually eating the mee suah rite now while typing this post. Now that I'm done with eating, I better get back to my books. Geezz... I hate exams.. And oh, one more shocking news. I cut my hair again. This time even shorter.
!

Tadaa... This is the best shot I could take. I think I look weird in this hair & whenever I see myself in the mirror I just couldn stand but laughed. HEHEHEHE...
But somehow, I like this style maybe just doesn't suit well in me but I really like my long side burns.. Hee...


Okay, stop here lar... Tata..
