Truly, madly, deeply, passionately in love with you.

20 Comments

“I’m truly, madly, deeply, passionately in love with you”

I think I just died and went to heaven for a couple of minutes after hearing those words. *SIGH* I’m completely hopeless. Hurl those words to me, and I’ll buy it…well…. maybe, maybe not. Depending on who would say that to me. But if those are the words spoken in the movies, hooooyeahhhh, I’ll definitely melt into a puddle of goo and beyond.

Who would have thought? That the fiery, lunatic fairy who rant and rave most of the time have quite a heart for fluff and romantic movies? Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating a little bit. I’m a romance author and I  married my first love, so get a clue already, will you? Romance authors are usually insane. Well, almost, I guess. I prefer to be known as eccentric.

Okay, most of you might be concern for my sanity by now. But fret not, I am still quite sane, and I’m talking about Letters To Juliet. Remember that movie I’ve talk about back then? I told you I was anticipating that movie like mad, and watched the trailer countless times, and this is it. I finally got to watch it online and was on cloud nine. I felt as if I’m in love again watching such a lighthearted summer romance movie.

I could have went and watch with my husband in the cinema if I want to. After all, it was released in Malaysia on 20th May 2010. It coincide with our 8th anniversary, but then again, I was too busy celebrating my real life romance to even consider going into the cinema for this movie. You know, you get the picture. The dimmed- lighted dinner in a quiet fancy restaurant… and the non-dinner in the dark. (Geez… it’s my anniversary, I don’t kiss or make out and tell, folks, so buzz off~!)

Anyway… back to letters to Juliet.

Below is the trailer for it:

And you can WATCH THE FULL MOVIE HERE

*SPOILER ALERT AHEAD, LEAVE IF YOU DON’T WANT SPOILERS*

Letters to Juliet is about Sophie Hall. She is a fact checker at The New Yorker magazine who dreams of becoming a writer, but her boss, Bobby, does not share her dreams and ambitions.

Sophie’s fiancé, Victor, is about to open an Italian restaurant in downtown New York. To celebrate, the two go on a pre-honeymoon to Verona, Italy. Sadly for Sophie, Victor seems too preoccupied in finding the best wines and cheeses for his restaurant and hardly has time for her.

Sophie was annoyed, of course. Who wouldn’t? Pre-honeymoon is not supposed to be that way. To add cherry on top, Victor seems to be only interested in himself and what he does, and never listens to what Sophie have to say. Most of their conversation often ended up one-sided.

And while he is out one day, Sophie went sightseeing and comes across the house where Juliet Capulet supposedly lived and watches in awe as numerous people gather to write letters to Juliet about their loves and post them on Juliet’s wall. Sophie writes of this in her journal for a few hours and sits on a bench, waiting for closing time, to see what becomes of the letters.

A young Italian woman came to collect the letters, putting them all into a straw basket, and Sophie follows her to a restaurant where the woman meets with three other women, who reveal themselves to be ‘Juliet’s secretaries’, writing back to each of the letters she had collected earlier on.

The next day, Sophie helps Isabel, one of the secretaries, take the letters. A loose brick falls, revealing a crumpled old envelope. Sophie discovers it is a 1957 letter written by Claire, an English woman who while in Italy studying art, fell in love with Lorenzo Bartolini. When he asked her to elope with him, she did not show up. Feeling terrible with her decision she wrote to ‘Juliet’ about it and Sophie writes back to Claire.

A few days later, a young Englishman arrives. Charlie then reveals that because Sophie responded his grandmother is now here to find her love. When Sophie asks to meet Claire, Charlie says no, but Sophie follows him and is introduced to Claire  who is more than happy to meet the ‘Juliet’ who wrote back to her.

Together, the three decide to embark on a journey to find all the Lorenzo Bartolinis near Siena, Italy where Claire says Lorenzo always enjoyed. The three meet many Lorenzo Bartolinis, but none of them seem to be the right one.

While traveling, Sophie and the grandmother and grandson learn about each other’s lives like that Charlie has an ex-girlfriend he hasn’t seen in a year, named Patricia, with Claire learning that Sophie’s mother abandoned her when she was nine and Sophie learning that Charlie’s parents died in a car crash when he was ten. Charlie, at first rude, is now attracted to her.

The three met many men named Lorenzo Bartolini, including one who has died. Seeing his grandmother cry, Charlie blames Sophie. Claire berates her grandson and tells him about Sophie’s mother, then she visits Sophie in her hotel room and comforts her. Charlie apologizes to Sophie who has gone out and laid down on the grass next to Charlie, and they kiss under the stars.

The next day, while driving back, Claire asks that they stop at a vineyard when she notices it is the vineyard that makes their favorite wine. There, she sees a young Italian man who looks exactly like Lorenzo.

Insisting it’s him, Sophie and Charlie went and ask him for his name, which he says is indeed Lorenzo Bartolini. Deciding it must be Lorenzo’s grandson, they ask to speak to the young man’s father, whose name is also Lorenzo. The middle-aged man says his elderly father is also Lorenzo Bartolini, and he was out riding his horse.

Charlie urges his grandmother to see if it’s the right Lorenzo, but Claire decides she doesn’t want to. Just then, the elder Lorenzo and it is revealed that he is indeed Claire’s long-lost love. The two was then reunited.

Lorenzo introduces the three to his family. Later, Sophie leaves to go back to Verona to find Victor. Claire tells Charlie not to wait fifty years before he discovers there is only one girl he loves. Charlie races after her bu he saw her hugging Victor, and so he left.

Back in New York, Sophie presents a story to her boss identical to Claire’s tale, and he tells her he is going to publish it. Excited, she rushes home. The next day at work, she gets an invitation to Claire and Lorenzo’s wedding.

She then breaks up with Victor at the kitchen of his Italian restaurant because she doesn’t love him anymore and goes to the wedding. At the end of the ceremony, she attempts to talk to Charlie, but believes a woman that is with him, Patricia  is his girlfriend.

She hurries away to a balcony, but Charlie follows her. Sophie professes her love but tells him to go back to Patricia, whom he explains is his cousin, and not his ex-girlfriend he mentioned earlier on. He admits he is in love with Sophie. He attempts to climb up to kiss her like Romeo Montague but fell flat to the ground. Sophie hurries to him to check if he’s all right and they kiss.

As I’ve said… I’ve been anticipating this movie a month ago, and it was a pleasure to be able to watch the full movie, and I’d rate it 4 out of 5. If you like Harlequin Romance or Silhouette or even Mills and Boon, you’ll absolutely adore this. It’s almost 100% Harlequin-ish and Silhouette-ish, minus the hot and steamy sex scene, that is. The movie is rated PG-13.

And considering I’ve always have the hots for European men with accentuated British accent, this movie is something to die for, so I give this flick, a few thumbs up.

Cleffairy: I didn’t know love had an expiry date. I didn’t think they ever expired…

Art of seduction: Food&Sex

16 Comments

Women, as aging sets in, begin to experience a prominent drop in sex drive. This is largely due to a decline in the female hormones estrogen and also… testosterone.

Other factors that undermine female desire include childbirth, the onset of menopause, stress, depression, relationship conflicts, fatigue, poor self-image, and inability to reach screaming orgasm.

Men, when they hit certain age, would have to worry about Erectile Dysfunction as well, and this would affect their performance in bed and the desires to have sexual intercourse would decrease. But then again, usually men does not have to worry about ED and low sex drive til they hit 50s.

With the right attitude… and the right food, libido in men and women could be increase.

Here’s some sex food for thoughts:

Celery

While celery may not be the first food that comes to mind when you’re thinking sex, it can be a fantastic source food for sexual stimulation. This is because it contains androsterone, an odorless hormone released through male perspiration and turns women on.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac : Celery is best eaten raw. Wash and cut some, and munch away. But if you hate to eat it raw, make chicken soup out of it, serve with Bloody Mary or even take it with some mayonnaise or tartar sauce.

Raw oysters

This is one of the classic aphrodisiacs. Oysters are high in zinc, which raises sperm and testosterone production. Oysters also contain dopamine, a hormone known to increase libido. And it’s undeniable that the experience of slurping a fresh raw oyster is rather erotic.

Try to squeeze it into your foreplay. Feed your spouse and have him/her feed you. The slippery taste sensation and the mere act of slurping on it should get you both in the mood.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac: Scrub the shells thoroughly to get any dirt or bacteria off. Pry them open and place them on a bed of ice, squeeze some fresh lemon onto them if you like, and then start slurping away sexily.

Bananas

Bananas contain the bromelain enzyme, which is believed to increase libido and reverse impotence in men. Additionally, they are good sources of potassium and B vitamins like riboflavin, which increase the body’s overall energy levels.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac: Place them on a dish in various states of undressing and have your lady slowly eat some for you. Then gobble yours down and get to work. Or, you can make some fried fritters out of them, or make them into desserts like banana split. Be sure to be generous with the chocolate sauce and ice cream, though. Chocolates are aphrodisiac as well.

Almonds

Almonds are a prime source of essential fatty acids. These are vital as they provide the raw material for a man’s healthy production of hormones. Additionally, the smell of almonds is purported to arouse passion in females. Try lighting some almond-scented candles to encourage her mood and snack on some yourself to store up energy for your performance.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac: Eat them raw. Or, crush some fresh almonds and sprinkle them on your salad to get the energy you need. Or better still, get yourself a honeyed almond biscotti. Personally, I would have suggested finely pounded almond with milk and honey, but some people can’t take it too sweet, so if you don’t like to take sweet stuff, stick it to just plain almond.

Chocolate

Aside from the fact that chocolate is the surest way to a woman’s panties, chocolate contains theobromine, an alkaloid,which is very similar to caffeine.

It also contains phenylethylamine, a chemical believed to produce the feel good feeling.

So, when your woman talks about how good chocolate makes her feel, there is some scientific explanation behind it. In addition, dark chocolate has a massive amount of anti-oxidants, which are great for the body in general, as they help maintain the immune system.

How to enjoy this aphrodisic: No exact way. Just be creative. Squeeze some chocolate sauce onto your partner’s body and lick it away for all I care. Just be creative.

Eggs

Although not the most sensual of foods, eggs are high in vitamins B6 and B5. These help balance hormone levels and fight stress, two things that are crucial to a healthy libido. Eggs are also a symbol of fertility and rebirth. Some people will eat raw chicken eggs just prior to sex to increase libido and maximize energy levels.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac: Have some caviar and a bit of champagne during your fun or gobble down some hard-boiled eggs beforehand. Or if you’re feeling romantic, you could make french toast for breakfast in bed.

And last but not least…

Mangoes, peaches and strawberries

What can be more fun than sinking your teeth into a dripping, sticky and honeyed fruits?  All of the fruits  listed above are erotically suggestive and can be fun to use amidst foreplay. Try dribbling the juices over your bodies and licking up the residue as an erotic game.

How to enjoy this aphrodisiac: Peel the mango, cut the peach and slice up some strawberries, and feed your partner while having oral sex.

Cleffairy: Why not have food and sex together? It’ll make a yummy making love session.

Super simple chilli crabs

24 Comments

I’m not a great cook, but I do have some tricks up my sleeves. Most of my readers would probably know by now that I was the child of the sea. I grew up by the seaside, and therefore, I’m used to chasing crustacean and digging for crustaceans like flower crabs from their holes in the sand so that I could catch them and bring them back for my mum to cook for dinner.

I can no longer catch crabs from their holes in the sand as I’m living in a concrete jungle now, but I certainly can buy them from the market to cook.

One fine day when I was doing groceries, I saw some fresh crabs, and deciding that it’s been ages since my family and I had some crabs, I bought them and made chilli crabs out of them.

It is a misconception that chilli crab is hard to cook. It’s actually quite simple to cook and that is why it costs a bomb in the restaurants.

Trust me chilli crabs is not that hard to cook, and if I can cook it, you can too, cuz I am no chef. I only cook simple, quickie stuff.

Here’s my own recipe of chilli crab:

Ingredients:

4 big/medium sized flower crab

Tumeric powder

1/2 cup of water

Some cooking oil

Sauce ingredient

3 spoonful of chopped garlic

3 spoonful of boh chilli paste/chilli sauce of any brand

2 spoonful of oyster sauce

3 spoonful of light soya sauce

5 spoonful of tomato sauce

Here’s how you do it. Pretty simple, actually. First of all, peel off the crab’s shell, and wash the crabs til it’s clean. Cut it into half if you prefer, and marinade it with tumeric powder for 5 minutes before frying them lightly in your wok/pan.

When the crab is half cooked, take it out from the wok, put it aside and drain all excess oil from it and prepare the sauce.

Sauté the chopped garlic by using the oil that you used to fry the crab earlier on, and mix all sauce ingredients together in a small bowl before putting it into the pan to sauté with the chopped garlic. Add in about 1/2 cup of water, and when the sauce thickens, add in the pre-fried crabs.

Stir the crabs abit so that the sauce fully coated the crabs, and close the wok with a cover for 10-15 minutes on medium fire. You may add beaten eggs if you like, but I like my crabs spicy, so no eggs in the sauce for me.

Take out and serve with plain white rice or bread though it goes well on it’s own.

Preparation time: 30 minutes

Yield: 3 servings

Cleffairy: Are you feeling the heat yet? If you can’t take the spiciness, don’t use too much chillies.

What do you call these?

25 Comments

My husband and I were craving for sourish food the other day after taking oily stuff, and so, when we came across a stall that sells pickled fruits, or locally known as jeruk, we bought these.

I wonder what you call these fruits in English. I know the sliced ones are pickled mango, but I don’t know what the rest is known as in English. I just know the local names.

The small, yellowish pickles are known as ‘cermai’ while the bigger brown fruits are ‘kelubi’. Do you know what it’s called in English? I don’t have a single clue on what they’re called in English.

All I know is that I adore these pickles. I like to eat them. They’re very appetizing. And they have sentimental value, as when I was a little girl, my grandfather used to make pickles out of these fruits.

Yes… he made them himself, and there would be huge jars of them in his house, and he would pass it to my parents as well as all his other children so that we could enjoy it.

I was quite a tomboy when I was a little girl, and learned to climb trees when I was nine, and was on par with boys my age when it comes to doing nasty stuff. Climbing trees, fishing, bathing in the sea almost daily as well as playing in the paddy field is a norm to me.

My grandparents live in Perlis, a place where is abundant with paddy fields, just like Kedah. And when there’s paddy fields, they will surely be cermai trees. I used to climb the cermai trees nearby the paddy field to gather some cermai fruits so that my grandfather could make pickles for us.

I had my fair share of getting bitten by those nasty fire ants while climbing trees and falling flat on my butt. But those things did not stop me from climbing trees again and again while I was growing up. Nasty falls and scrape on the knees are never regarded as a major health problem or major injuries.

Those were the good old days. I  did not even need to be afraid when I play in the village all alone, cuz all the neighbours would keep an eye on me, unlike now where everywhere is very dangerous and children cannot be let loose on their own, and parents no longer allowed their children to do such things.

Instead of frolicking around in the sun, children these days are sent to kindergarten so that they could compete with children their age as early as two years old. Sometimes, I do wonder if time took away our children’s childhood? Are we depriving them of good memories and the fun way of growing up?

Those good old days are indeed over, isn’t it? Children are no longer safe outside and we’re forced to be parents who deprived children from their share of fun in the mud, just because it’s what expected of us these days. Are you that sort of parents? Are you depriving your children of their childhood?


Cleffairy: What wouldn’t I do to give my kids the same childhood and environment that I had? For what it’s worth, it’s certainly a better childhood to experience.

Thank you for loving me…

20 Comments

This is a thank you entry for someone who is very special, and also a birthday dedication. 😀 And no… this is not just for my husband, but for Annie’s two darling boys.

I saw in Annie’s blog earlier on today, that her boys just hit the big number 5, and coincidentally, I had some birthday cupcakes picture from my husband’s birthday and our 8 years anniversary celebration. I thought it’ll be appropriate if I greet her two boys too over here as well.

The cupcakes was made by Cynderella 😀 The Queen of All Sweet Things and the mother of a sweet Cupcake Princess, especially for my husband’s birthday and our anniversary. And I couldn’t thank her more for cooking up her cupcakes for me. They are absolutely sinful and arousing to the tastebuds.

The chocolate cupcakes melts in the mouth and it was so heavenly, and could rival those cupcakes that you can buy from Delectables. And I daresay they are much better than Delectable, as these sinful cupcakes are labour of love. I would any day have hers than any other found in bakeries. And not even Secret Recipe can rival Cynderella’s cupcakes. Her cupcakes are absolutely magical.

Thank you very much, Cynderella for all the sweetness you brought into my life.

And happy birthday, Fearles and Cruz. Stay sweet like the cupcakes, all right? May you both grow up strong and wise. 😀

Cleffairy: This closing message is especially for those who love me. Thank you, for loving me, and for being in my life. And below is a song dedication for you. 😀


Thank you for loving me

It’s hard for me to say the things
I want to say sometimes
There’s no one here but you and me
And that broken old street light

Lock the doors
We’ll leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes when I couldn’t see for
Parting my lips when I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me

I never knew I had a dream
Until that dream was you
When I look into your eyes
The sky’s a different blue

Cross my heart
I wear no disguise
If I tried, you’d make believe
That you believed my lies

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes when I couldn’t see
For parting my lips when I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me

You pick me up when I fall down
You ring the bell before they count me out
If I was drowning you would part the sea
And risk your own life to rescue me, yeah

Lock the doors
Leave the world outside
All I’ve got to give to you
Are these five words when I

Thank you for loving me
For being my eyes oh, when I couldn’t see
You parted my lips when I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me

When I couldn’t fly
Oh, you gave me wings
You parted my lips when I couldn’t breathe
Thank you for loving me

Thank you for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Oh for loving me

On 20th May…

32 Comments

It’s 20th May 2010, and it’s been 8 years since I first saw my husband. I was young. Very young. 8 years ago, I was just 17 going on 18. Barely legal, I must say, and we have come a long way.

Yeah, folks, it’s our 8 years anniversary today. And it’s been a hell of a roller coaster ride. Dangerous, exhilarating, and full of shock and surprises. There are good and bad times, but I’m not going to share all my X-rated details here.

I would spare your innocent eyes and ears. I may write mushy stuff for my novels, but…I’m afraid, I don’t tell my own love story very well. Perhaps, when I’m old and have nothing else to do, I might document that.

Anyway, I like to do meaningful things on meaningful dates. And to commemorate my 8 years anniversary with my husband, I’ve changed the layout to something more light on the eyes. It’s blue and much more calmer that the depressing black that I used earlier. 😀

This, signify my hope for a peaceful and a happier relationship with my husband. I hope to celebrate life…(not wait for people to celebrate life for me… as in ‘celebrating someone’s life’ in a funeral) and no more nonsense. I’m sick and tired of those. I want to feel alive, while I’m still young. And yes, from this day forward, to hell those people who are not even worth my regard.

Time, and death, is a funny thing, ladies and gentlemen. things that happened last year made me realized that time is not always on our side, and Death may come knocking at our doorstep anytime it pleases him. Life is too short to be wasted. take it from me… chase your dreams and live life to the fullest while you still can. I’ve made it my very own personal mission this year. Living life to the fullest, and living my dreams.

I’m not a fan of fancy designs. No… I hate those. I hurt my eyes and it annoys me to my very core. I’ve always adored those simple designs that does not look messy. I like this one. And I hope, it’s pleasant to your eyes too.

20th May 2010 is also the date that I chose to launch my book in the US, and it’ll be available for sale, finally, after all the midnight oil I burned. No… it’s no coincidence that the book launch shared the same date as my anniversary.LOL…fiery as I may sound sometimes, I suppose, I’m still a romantic at heart, eh? I want my book to have the same anniversary as me and my husband so that 20th May would be much more meaningful from this year forward. 😀 Another thing for me to celebrate next year. My book anniversary. 😛

I’m blabbering, aren’t I? Please excuse me. It’s been rather a whirlwind of a day. It was my husband’s birthday yesterday as well, and so here I am…wishing him not only a happy birthday, but happy anniversary as well.

Cleffairy: To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do us part.

Sharing IS Caring

37 Comments

Scheduled entry

I bet most of you are probably pretty annoyed with me by now for putting too much advertisement and reviews up here in my blog while I’m away doing God knows what.

You must be wondering why do I start to write reviews or do paid post by now, cuz too much advertisement in one’s blog can get pretty annoying.

Well, you can be honest, because I am annoyed too when I go to blogs that puts up too much advertisement or popups.

Let me justify my course of action, though. I do it because I needed the money, not because I wanted to earn more so that I could have a lavish life.

Why do I need the money? Ahh, here comes the jackpot question. Well…cost of living are getting too high and these days, every single cents help. Plus, I wanted to save for my master programme. Yeah… you read it right. I want to go back studying, but I’m afraid, I’m quite insufficient of fund for I’m not quite qualified for either sponsorship or even scholarship. So, I suppose, this is one of my way to earn my ass for my Master.

You see… as of late, I’m bored shitless for all the nonsense that’s going on around me to the point that I think that it would do me good if I go back to study. Kinda sick seeing idiotic bimbos, you see. I need some intellectual boost and so, I went to a certain tertiary institution, and check out some thesis based Master programme.

Sounds preposterous? No… I think not. I think it’s almost time for me to upgrade my status from just a freelance to a student who is freelancing. And… what’s better way to motivate my kid to study than to be a student myself when he goes to primary school?

I think it’ll be better to motivate my brat to study by showing that I’m also studying rather than just force him to study. Plus…I won’t allow marriage stop me from pursuing my dreams and education. I can have the best of both world, so why not? I just have to believe in myself and make extra effort for it.

Gosh, I’m straying… back to why I do paid post these days. You see, folks, while I am married, I am not the spoiled and pampered kind who gets to do whatever I like, whenever I want, and get to buy stuff on whims just because I like it and wants it.

Geez…. I even forgot when was the last time I even receive a birthday present from any of my family members cuz some people tend to take me for granted; just because I am there or them all the time. Sometimes, I felt, even my friends are way better than my own family when it comes to spoiling and pampering me.They make a good job making me appreciated.

For what it’s worth, I don’t have such privileges of being spoiled rotten, and therefore, here I am, ‘prostituting’ my words for some extra cash. Well, at least I am just ‘prostituting’ my words, no? It’s way better than going around using my sex appeal to earn some extra cash like some people, no?

Don’t you guys dare say that I earned a lot from this, cuz the fact is, I don’t earn much, and the money that I ‘earned’ from these reviews are not credited directly into my savings account. I have to wait until certain amount to be able to cash it out. Yea… it works something like the damned Nuffnang or Adsense. You will have to wait til a certain amount is credited into your account before you can cash it out.( If you’re lucky enough, that is…they might not pay you and banned you before you even cash it out). So far…the amount inside my ads account haven’t even reach half the amount required. 🙁 One word: Fuck!

While writing and posting up ads, I promise that I will not mislead you folks by making you think that it’s not an advertisement. I’m not that kind of blogger. If it’s a paid entry, then I will write that it’s paid or sponsored. I won’t hide it, so that you folks have a choice on whether to waste your time to read on, or just skip it.

Some of you probably would leave comment and ask me how to make money online and stuff. Well… as someone very special to me shared with me how to make money via blogging, I won’t hide it from the world on how to make money by doing paid posts, after all, caring is sharing. I’ll share what I know with friends. I may sound bitchy at times, but I am not bitchy enough not to share what I know from my friends and try my best to hide the good stuff or even freebies that I get. I will share the source with you. You can count on it.

So… if any of you out there are already asking how/where do I get all these ads, it is here:

https://blogvertise.com

That’s one of the place that I get the ads, so, if you want, kindly look it up if you are interested to get ads for yourself to write. There’s instruction to follow over there. Look it up.

And why am I sharing all this with you when I can just keep quiet about it? Well… firstly, as I said, I am not a selfish person.

Those who knows me well could vouch for that though I often appear to be obnoxious most of the times. Many people misunderstood me cuz of the way I dressed up and the way I express myself, but then again, why should I give a damn on what brainless bimbos think, anyway?

And secondly… I know many of you out there are not exactly rich asses as well. I know most of you are also struggling to make ends meet, and so, I see no harm in sharing this little information with you. So… go and make your own extra cash if you want to. 😀

Cleffairy: Sharing good stuff with your friends is caring. I’m not sure if a lot of people are willing to share, these days, for many demonstrate selfishness openly in blog-o-sphere and thought people wouldn’t notice.Tsk tsk tsk…people notice, duh… what you think people are? Dumb bimbos?

ps: A special thanks to the lady who shared with me on how to earn money thru blogging. I am forever indebted to you. Thank you very much. I owe you heaps. If I earn a lot, big makan or a sodomized chicken is on me when you’re in KL. 😀

For the first time…

Scheduled entry. (I’m away at the moment)

Last week, I went out with my big brother and big sister. It was really fun, and I really enjoyed it. Bought so many things that I like and I was spoiled rotten by big sister to the point I feel as if I could actually bursts with joy.

It’s been quite some time since I allow myself such simple pleasure of being in the company of the people I adore and enjoy being me without having to fear being judged or scorned upon for being somewhat weird and awkward.

With them, I never have to care about how I dressed up and I don’t have to worry that they will laugh at me for liking books more than clothes, because they understand what I like and dislike.

While I’m rather outspoken and rash most of the time, I’m afraid, such trait does not apply to me while looking for something to eat.

Knowing that I’m not so adventurous in this department, big sister brought me to Kanna Curry House somewhere in Petaling Jaya area for me to try these:

Banana leaf rice with condiments

With assorted curries.

Now, this is my first time experiencing an authentic banana leaf rice. It was really a gastronomically pleasant experience. I’ve been living in Malaysia almost all of my life, and yet I never tried such a thing, cuz I somehow thought it’s very scary and spicy.

But to my surprise… having a banana leaf rice meal with big brother and big sister is a fun and exciting experience, and I have to say it’s educational as well. Learned many cultural stuff from it as well.

Being a first timer in eating banana leaf rice…I was really surprised that the rice as well as the vegetables that’s placed on the banana leaf is actually free flow. Yes… you heard me right, it’s free flow. I was told by big brother and big sister that they will add the veggies, condiments as well as the rice for you for free, as much as you like. (Actually you’ve already paid for it.).

I was skeptical at first, as I looked around, I realized that they were telling me the truth as I saw people keep asking for pappadums (some sort of Indian crackers), veggies, dried chillies as well as acars from the mamaks and they just top up for the customers without any qualms at all. I saw papadums flying around too. LMAO.

Anyway, you can also order side dishes such as fried chicken as well as fried seafood, but that, you have to pay extra. I don’t know how much it costs, cuz big brother cleared the bills, much to my embarrassment.

Initially I wanted my husband to clear the bills…but big brother had already had the bills in his hands, and insisted that he pay it.  Damn… I should have secretly pay when I went to wash my hands then.*blush* So… yeah… I cannot tell you guys how much the meal costs, cuz I dunno the price. 😛 Big sister won’t tell me how much the meal cost, even when I asked her how much it was. 🙁

Anyway…I walloped my share of the banana leaf rice along with a nice piece of fish and fried chicken that big brother ordered for everyone to share.

I tte everything except for the bean sprouts that’s been placed on my banana leaf, cuz I can’t take bean sprouts. LOL… I dumped the bean sprouts for my husband to eat instead, cuz if I were to eat bean sprouts, that would mean I’ve been asking for troubles. My body cannot tolerate bean sprouts though I like the taste of it. They make my stomach cramp and convulses, even when I take just a little bit of it. I ended up in hospital once when I was a kid, for taking bean sprouts, so yeah… bean sprouts is a deadly no-no stuff for me.

Before I dig into my food, big sister actually asked me if I want to use fork and spoon, but I was rather intrigued by big brother who used his fingers to eat, and so I washed my hands followed suit.

LOL…I find it really fun and exciting to eat rice with my fingers. There’s a certain degree of pleasure in it, and I could have sworn that the rice tasted much nicer when I used my fingers to eat. I recalled my biology class then. My biology teacher mentioned to me before that our hand produces some sort of enzymes, and therefore when we use our fingers to eat our food, the food will taste much better than when we used the cultleries.

Big sister also told me that there’s a way to fold the banana leaf rice after we finish the rice; to tell the mamaks whether we enjoyed the meal or not. But I didn’t know how to do it correctly… lol…I wanted to fold the banana leaf rice to tell the mamak that I enjoyed the meal, but I ended up doing it the wrong way. 🙁 Those poor mamak must have thought that I didn’t enjoy the meal cuz I’ve folded the leaf wrongly. 🙁

Anyway, it was such a pleasure dining with big brother and big sister. Thank you so much for the meal and the experience that I’ll probably remember for the rest of my life. And… it is safe to say that I’ll probably hunt down some curry house on my own for more banana leaf rice meals. LOL…

A Penny For Your Thoughts, Time Heals What Love And Reason Cannot, writing

And so He said, let there be light…

42 Comments

Friends and foes alike may have noticed that I would go MIA quite frequently these days. It’s not the lack of inspiration that have caused my disappearance from the blog-o-sphere, but it is because apart from being extremely busy doing editorial work for my books and whatnot, God has seen it fit to bestow me some blessings in the form of good friends who had been very generous and thoughtful not only towards me but my entire family, including my cat as well. I am so sorry if my visit to your blog is less frequent now.

It is not because I have forgotten you or turned cocky, but it seems that these days, time seems to envy me. There’s so much to do, and yet, there’s so little time. But please be assured, you are never forgotten. You’re are always there in my heart.

While last year could have been the worst year of my life, where all sort of nonsense were thrown in together and made me depressed to the point I felt so alone and almost suicidal, I am glad that this year it’s been full of blessing, though my life is nowhere close to perfect.

Those who were superstitious might have you believe otherwise, for this is the year of Tiger in the Chinese Zodiac calender and it is believed that it is not quite a good year for a lot of things and luck is not on your side, but I am glad that I can say, so far, my life is not only filled with excitement and challenge, but blessings as well.

I may have many complaints and tears last year, but this year, God blessed me with many things, and here I am, giving thanks for His beautiful blessings. He had taught me that there is goodness in everything, and when bad things happens, it happens for a reason and it’s usually a blessing in disguise. I now have come to learn not to blame Him when things happen, but learn to look into different perspective each time things happen.

God gave me many wonderful friends who loved me for who I am and what I’m not. He gave me friends who would help me and be there for me when I’m distraught, and He gave me friends who spoiled me rotten just like they would spoiled their bratty little sister, and He also showed me who cherished the friendship and who doesn’t.

The almighty one also taught me that while some friends are made to treasure… there are certain ‘friends’ whom I need to be aware of, for they are the kind who will use me and ditch me when I am no longer useful for them to be used.

Last year, God told my entire world to darken, so that there will be light for me this year, and I am truly thankful on how things turn out to be. I could see clearly now. And am I complaining? No… I am giving thanks for all the blessings He saw fit to bestow upon me and my family.

Lately, when I blogged about my books, and some events that I attended on invitation, some would have congratulate me for being famous. But you know something? I am not famous. I never felt that I even was in the first place.

I never want to be famous or even well known. I prefer not to be ‘in the picture’, cuz I believe fame comes with a terrible price that I am not willing to pay, and I’ve always believe that fame will turn someone ugly and ungrateful. Fame too can make one forget their own root and sometimes, judgment will be clouded as well.

Fame will take away many things from me… that is what I’ve always believe. While fame is highly sought after by others, it is something I would terribly avoid. It costs too much. I am a rather vain person, you see. I hate to think that I’d be turned into something ugly to the point I could not recognize myself in the mirror. It terrifies me.

Anyway…the point here is…who needs fame when everyone is sincere to me when I’m just a nobody? I’d rather be a nobody. There is more joy in that. Pure, blissful, unadulterated joy.

Anyway, this is a thank you blog entry to thank God for all the blessings He gave me and show me that some friends are just for keep, and doesn’t really meant to just be friends, but family instead. Sometimes, I really do wish that I can be rich, just so that I could spoil those whom spoiled me in return. 😀


Cleffairy: I’m not going to name names over here, for I fear I’ll leave some names out, but thank you to all of you out there, for nothing is more great than what you have done for me. And of all the gifts I’ve received… the one that touched me most is the one that reminds me that God is always around me. And I shall keep it close to my heart. Thank you, for all you have done for me.
