Good Food & A Spot of Weekend Football!!
October 31, 2009 
I love it when Im in the mood to cook especially when it turned out good! Last night was one of those good cooking moods. Normally I prepare my dishes with the ingredients from the scratch but I did the lazy cook method of using pre-packed ingredients ^_^ so what was I in the mood for yesterday?
Chicken Tandoori
Using the pre-packed ingredients all I did was add in the yoghurt to set it and marinate them. Even the briyani rice I used the pre-packed paste ..all I did was add in the peas. The only thing I’d take credit is my mint sauce and my stir friend spinach.
Yep I was in the mood for some Indian food. Today ..whats on my menu ? Im still thinking …a bit of a lazy mood today since its the weekend. Maybe I’ll get some onigiri instead at the supermarket for my dinner IF I can get my butt off the sofa and go to Isetan to buy them. We shall see! Anyway thought I share my culinary success photo of Chicken Tandoori, Briyani Rice, Mint sauce and Stir Fried Spinach. To finish off a superb dinner I made a pot of freshly brewed coffee courtesy from Miss Ai !! PERFECTO!
Grrr, am I the only having problems uploading photos today or what! Its effing annoying!! I was going to post a photo of what I cooked even …
Anyway I managed to get my butt off this afternoon to Isetan as I was in the mood for some onigiri and other sushi however WordPress is in a bitchy mood for uploading photos I cant post it here today ..ah well. All the food (Onigiri, Inari Sushi, Takoyaki and Miso Soup) are all happily settled in my contented tummy and next would be a nice sweet raisin cake I got from the supermarket top with a cup of nice hot coffee! Im off to prepare those so I can have them while watching my English Premier League, my team Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspurs, its a London derby so GO GUNNERS!!

To all celebrating this ghoulish day

Hope everyone’s weekend has been a good one so far !!

Snail Mail & Recurring Dreams
October 28, 2009 
Theres nothing like receiving snail mail that would make my day and those filled with cute, interesting or yummy surprises just add tons of brownie points for a good day.
A month ago, I received this magazine from Naoko. The articles are interesting to read and the photos related to each article are just really great to look at and admire especially the food where you just feel like grabbing them out from the page and eat them if you could.
Thank you Naoko ^_^
Kateigaho magazine from Naoko
Lovely article about autumn
Mouth watering article about FOOD!
Then a few days after that, I got to collect a package filled with yummy goodies!! Thank you Ai !!
Coffee & Chocolates from Ai
The coffee is just absolutely delicious, the flavor is wholesome and strong and I love it. Drinking this with the chocolate especially the Venezuelan blend, I got addicted to those sexy dark babies. The Marron chocolate is sweet and creamy ..trust me I had to erm resist from being stingy with my husband. I rarely eat chocolates but if they’re very yummy, not overly sweet I’ll eat them with sheer delight.
Recently I had this strange dream ..well its basically a recurring dream but this time I find it strange. I know when I dream of someone that means the other person whereever he or she may be is thinking of you or vice versa. I tend to dream of my ex-boyfriend. He is not much for me to rave about except he was good looking during the days when we were dating and with that long hair of his who couldn’t resist falling for him eh, what he did was unforgivable for me and well unforgettable too. Since the day he left me and I finally accepted the fact that I can never be with him I would have dreams of him. Recurring ones ..sometimes his brothers & sisters would be in those dreams. This time its his Uncle! Younger uncle of almost the same age as him. What the HECK!
I know I need to have a closure so I can finally be at peace and exorcise him out of my life but seriously if I know for a fact that hes there, I’d feel nervous and my heart would race. Dont get me wrong I dont carry the torch for him to feel like that no, not at all ..I just dont want to see him face to face anymore. Blegh…
Have you ever experienced recurring dreams of your ex?
Its raining here and I should be napping, yet Im awake and Ive got a bit of a headache ..darn it!
Retail Therapy, Random Photos & Unhygienic People
October 26, 2009 
Well I am back from my brief holiday UNFORTUNATELY I have no photos to share with you. I did not get to go to any tourist attraction as, well, there is NO tourist attractions nearby for me to see or visit ..most of them are an hour or two hours away from Bandung. Bandung is pretty much famous for the factory outlet stores. I know there are many lovely natural beauties to visit but as Ive been told I need to drive out to get there as its out of the district itself. Such a shame but I consoled myself with a much needed retail therapy 
Designer goods are plenty at affordable prices and you just can’t resist not buying them but thankfully I can resist my impulsive side of shopping. I just dont want to buy clothes or jeans that I would only end up going ‘Huh ..why did I buy this for again?’
ANYWAY since I have no photos to share, let me share some random photos I took before I went on holiday.
Going to the mall during the festive season you will always be welcomed with the decorations in conjunction with what the festival is. This time its DEEPAVALI – The Hindu Festival of Light. For more information, you can read more details of the festival – Deepavali
Diwali lamps display
I really like looking at the Rangoli display if I ever see any, they’re very very colorful and intricately done.
Today has been an atrociously hot day, I couldn’t believe it. I could do with a nice cold drink when that very thought was wiped away from my mind. This neanderthal out of the blue stood by the stairs looking 4 steps down at us pedestrians when he decided to do some spit practising with no clue at all that when he does his ‘thing’, people are walking past by .. and he does it still without any sense of shame ..thankfully no innocent pedestrian was ‘hurt’ with that fella’s disgusting habit. I wish there was a sudden gust of wind where that ‘thing’ hit right back at him in the face ..EWWW disgusting to picture but yep I wish that had happen.
I cringed when he did that ..I thanked that I walked slowly to avoid it too. When I saw that happen I was shocked.
Whats with these people and spitting in public?! Worse the sort that regurgitates before spitting ..for crying out loud !!
Another thing was when I was at this hotel having my breakfast. How can I enjoy my meal when the person next to me was blowing her nose constantly! Talk about losing my appetite right there and then!
My flight yesterday have somehow inspired me to a page on my likes & dislikes about travelling ..currently Im writing down the list before typing it down online ^_^
Hope your week starts off beautifully compare to mine but Im not complaining ..tomorrow is another day which I hope will be a much better one!
Ta peeps!
Away For A Short While..
In a bit of a rush at the moment and Ive got an hour left before heading to the airport.
Away for 9 days and back this 25th. Got some photos taken while I was at the mall yesterday but for some reason WordPress was not being too cooperative with me in uploading photos so this will have to wait when I return 
Take care and catch up with your blogs when I return!
Ciao!
T
A day of ZERO tolerance but Im still cool…
Its been a rather slow unproductive day for me. I just look forward to meet up with a friend tomorrow and take some photos of the festive displays at the mall. Im just glad I managed to get a few tasks done before I go away for 9 days. Most importantly a package filled with an Ultraman gift for my chipmunk of a nephew and some baby clothes for my youngest sister who’s expecting her second child next month. I never thought a few pieces of clothing together with a box set of toys could weigh that much Well anything for my favorite nephew …as long as he doesnt start coming up to me for money instead of toys 
That’ll be the day!
Dont you just love shoppers who decide to stop in the middle of your path that leads to the escalator? It annoys me when that happens especially when Ive got a heavy load on my shoulder ..sure sure lady take your time finding your bearings in the building why dont you?
Another thing that peeves me are STARERS!! Oh yes starers ..those that stare at you as if your nose just turned upside down or your eyes are at the back of your head or you’ve got a dangling particle stuck on your forehead … whats with that eh? Nowadays I just stare back at them when they do that or better yet I noticed when you smile at them that sort of wake them up but of course I wouldn’t simply smile for no reason though … like this odd man whom I bump into a couple of times at the mall … I dont know whats his problem but whenever we cross path he would really stare at me ..it doesnt really freak me out but it does annoy me! I dont even know him ..friends do advise to not even try and approach him for fear he might do something that might endanger me or sort of encourage him instead. Well I wont but it just annoys me when he does that …
Last peeve of the day for me …
Does this happen to you when you’re shopping ? While shopping around you realise you’ve got a ‘tail’ .. a ‘tail’ that wont stay put? 2 boutiques I went ..2 potential boutiques turned me off when this sales girl kept following me whereever I went to. To add more to the aggravation is when they tell you that its on discount or theres a promotion of buy 1 free 1 or that you can try ..I KNOW DAMN IT ..I can obviously READ ..last time I checked I did pass with flying colours that I could read my ABCs and 12 fricking 3s … and when I asked this one sales girl who actually asked for it from me what style was the pair of jeans I was looking at? She looked at me dumbfounded and pointed out to me the word on the price tag, ‘Yes its jeans ..’ Biting my tongue from being a total mental lack of sleep bitch I asked in a calm voice, ‘What style is this pair?’ (Since it doesnt say whether its boot cut or bell bottom on the tag) She paused thinking what needs to be said and instead asked me what size would I like! WTF! I havent asked for a size availability ..instead I just muttered nevermind and left … *rolls my eyes in anger* Today I have only so little tolerance with annoying people.
For once I want to be left alone when I shop and browse. I know I can read and if I need help I’ll scream out for it.
Wow just a few minutes ago I got to see some fireworks outside ..I rarely see fireworks over here because of all the high buildings around but this one was just perfect. I saw all the colors and right now either my neighbour upstairs or downstairs are playing some loud music … dont you just love inconsiderate neighbours or what?
Ah well at least that firework display ends my day of annoyance. Im heading off to bed ^_^ Night all!!
That long of an absence eh
Whoa! My last blog dated 28th September?! Wow ..didn’t realise its been that long since Ive blogged ^_^ Ah well let’s just say I’ve been
1. Distracted by Facebook – yes Im one of those poor sap who got sucked into the FB world
2. My blogging mojo is currently undergoing a total blackout
I really wish I have the inspiration of blogging but I can never ever find any, Im more of a reader than a writer … funny and they say Geminis are born writers …pffffftttt!!
Anyway Im going to try my best to keep this up ..
Today’s been quite a nice day for me. I got to meet up with 2 of my friends for lunch. Its been quite pleasant despite me feeling groggy and grouchy due to lack of SLEEP! I swear if anyone knows a good remedy for snores ..PLEASE SHARE THE TIP WITH YOU … I love my husband very much but I do not love his ear shattering snores! It kills me especially when I have a problem with sleeping. Im not like some people that can just knock out the moment they hit the pillow ..I take a bloody while to finally log in to Slumberland. Worse I am a light sleeper ..just the slightest sound can wake me up.
I do feel bad when I growled out loudly in anger last night because that woke him up. Call me inconsiderate but think about me ..the one who seems to be having a bit of sleep apnea here. As soon as he found out what bugged me he went back to sleep with a snore within SECONDS and me?! Heavy lid still struggle to sleep …. I would’ve cancelled my meet up today so I can sleep my eye sockets out but I didn’t as I rarely meet my friends over here either.
So yea if anyone has good tips for snorers do share the tip with me why dont you?
The other day I had an online conversation with my sister about the importance of family. I’ll pose this question to whomever thats reading this
For the sacrifice that your parents have made for you so you’ll have the best education, a good life …would YOU ask them to pay you back when they ask for your help financially? I had been one difficult child growing up but NEVER ONCE would I ask my father, especially my father, to pay me back when he asked me for few dollars ..never! I feel ashamed to even ask him …a few bucks cant repay what he had given me. Heck I wouldnt even question him when he asked me if I could provide him a supplementary card ..why should I ?
I should get my arse in gear now and start packing my clothes for my trip this Friday. Hopefully I’ll get to blog about something much more interesting tomorrow instead of a silly rant of snorers & inappreciative children
