my very eventful holidays =)

wah, never enjoyed so much after exams before!
4 whole days of holiday. lots of time to have fun and recuperate (and get ready for renal?)
went out with my darling today.to sunway pyramid.
watched 2 movies!!
stardust..was really really really GOOD! i could watch it another time. i was mesmerized from the start right till the end.

then we watched another movie. THE BEE MOVIE!
haha, so unexpected.
but surprisingly, it was not bad. not that kiddy. and the jokes were funny. LOL

and bees can talk. in English! hahah. but yet i still don't like bees, even after this movie! eeek! I'll start screaming if i ever see one!
then when we were walking around, we saw this bunch of people, dressed up in really fancy, extravagant costumes. and everyone was so amused my them! then James went up to them and ask to have a photo with them...i really liked all their costumes! so cool~


had a long and tiring day.
but it was so much fun!
more post soon to come! since now is the only time i have to blog! (maybe first week
of renal also la) =)

random-ness!

aglio oglio!

new pasta recipe!
but it will be a little incomplete (no measurements)

this is my sister's version of aglio oglio.
simple, spicy and very delicious!

what you need: (for a serving for four person)
Lots of garlic (about on whole garlic, the more the merrier!) peeled and chopped finely.
Dried parsley
Dried basil (about one tablespoon each, alter accordingly la)
(can get from any supermarket or ingredient shop)
Dried chili (about 5 pieces) soaked it hot water, seeds removed and pound it using the mortar and pestle to get small shreds.
olive oil
1-2 Sausages, thinly sliced (i recommend the AYAMAS FRANKFURTER with mushroom. the bigger types. there are 6 pieces per pack. and about less than 4 bucks each pack)
*alternative is to use bacon*
canned button mushroom, thinly sliced
fine salt
black pepper
capsicum, sliced (if desired)

here is how to cook!
cook the spaghetti (follow the instructions on the packet)
heat some oil and fry the sausages and mushroom until cooked. set aside
heat some oil, fry the dried chili, spices (basil and parsley) and the garlic until fragrant.
put the spaghetti in to a large bowl.
add the sausages and mushroom
add the fried garlic, chili and spices
sprinkle salt and pepper to taste
mix it well.
keep tasting it until its just nice
you can keep adding spices also, and alter according to taste.

very very simple! can cook in about 30 minutes!



enjoy! =)

friends

they make your life colourful
they make you smile when you are down
they come from all walks of life but somehow you can relate to them.
b.f.f
best friends forever.

let me tell you about some of these people that has really made a difference in my life.
hmm..my first memory of my best friend was back when i was in primary one
(sadly i can't remember my days in kindergarten)
first day of school was naturally scary for some kids. including me.
i remember feeling lost, apprehensive and all i wanted was my mummy.
and then there was this sweet girl who was sitting next to me. she was all calm and composed and being friendly to me and trying to cheer me up.
and so began our friendship.
we spent lunch time together, sometimes joining the others in a game of "ice and water" or jump rope and stuff like that (ah~ the good old days!)
but we also had a "world of our own"
being very creative and imaginative, we named and describe places all around the school, giving them elaborate names and all. i remember there was this netball/basketball court and there was a few little palm trees at the sides. we pretended they were different island and would visit one everyday.
if I'm not mistaken, we also made up our own "language"
and i was a sensitive kid back then (still am, but less now) and i got easily upset when things go wrong. she was always there for me.
there was once i missed my school bus, and was already in tears. she waited for me until someone came to pick me up and assured me that everything was going to be fine.
we were in different class the last three years of primary school, so we didn't get to see each other often. and sadly, we went to different high schools.
we did keep in contact with each other, writing snail mails, posting greeting cards and all. but we soon got too busy with our lives and started to fall out.
well, we met up again during Chinese new year and she has changed so much! in a good way! although, regretfully, we can't be as close as we were before when we were kids..she will always be my very first best friend!

part two soon to come.
don't know why i'm getting so nostalgic!

afternoon tea

finally got a two-tier afternoon tea set after hunting high and low. wanted a three tier one but quite difficult to find. and i saw one in metrojaya. three tier and with gold rim and hand painted romantic Victorian style flowers. ahem. lets not get into the price.
anyway, this one is good enough


can't wait to have afternoon tea now~
but need to stock up on ingredients.
oh, look out for another recipe. something that is a favourite among my friends.
BLUEBERRY CHEESE TARTS! muahahha

thinking of scones, mini muffins, brownies, finger sandwiches and tarts

omg, im so going to get FAT.

i'm back!

after a few "short and weird" posts,
here is a proper one =)
repro is done and finshed with (not really, hmm..just for now) exams was just O.K.
feedback was scary >.<

and now 4 WHOLE DAYS of HOLIDAY!
YIPPEEE!!!
then back to work.work.work!

HAPPY DEEPAVALI to all =)

one day before the repro exam, we went to celebrate my sister's 22nd birthday at the ITALIANNIES, in ONE UTAMA (there is also a branch in THE GARDENS, MIDVALLEY and another in THE CURVE)

very nice atmosphere. my parents said it was very "Italian-ish"
the deco was really nice. cosy homely feel.

the food!
the portions are HUGE! so goes their tag line.."bring lots of friends and a big appetite" or something like that.
they have a new menu, with salmon fish
quite a wide variety, pizza, pasta, salads, cute appetizing starters and meat.

first is their specialty.
Roast Chicken Italiannies. very herby and nice special taste. not cheesy at all, so mummy was happy! and the roast(or baked, whatever) potatoes was simply yummy!!!


our second dish was a pasta. seafood fettuccine, filled with mussels, fresh prawns, la-la, juicy tomato chunks and lots of other stuff, the sauce was really authentic.


two dishes were just enough.
and enough space for desert.
tiramisu!
sponge cake layered with mascarpone cheese and laced with liquor.
the liquor taste was a tad bit strong for me. the trick is to eat a little by little. then it would taste good =)


the bill came to about 100 plus.
overall, the service is good and the food was excellent =)
but just not something you would eat so often.
