Steamed Rhino Horn Bananas

Guess what I have to eat for brunch today?

(Stupid la, it's clearly written at the title already.)

Steamed Rhino Horn Bananas!

a.k.a. Pisang Tanduk Kukus

It's actually bigger than normal bananas, not sure if you can see it from the photo.

Pisang Tanduk has the longest fruits among banana cultivars, reaching up to 2ft in length.

Normal ones are only 12-14 inches though.

It's one of my favourite food and we can't seem to find many Pisang Tanduk in Penang.

Luckily a cousin brought some from Melaka and we finally get to eat some. XD

"Protect the Boss" - One Drama Down!

I'm one step closer to my goal yessss!! 

Aiya although it's only one, better than nothing. XD

Just a simple update:

I've just finished watching 《守护老板》- Protect the Boss.

I like this poster! ♥

And I found another cute photo of Hero's ears being pulled. XD

A Goal - An Excessive One

Since I've put so much effort into changing my blog's layout, I should update everything in the right column of my blog, shouldn't I? Let's see..

The visitors' counter is alright. So is the Nuffnang ad column. Kinda lazy to update my personal profile as the things I wrote there hasn't changed much. I left the spam corner there as it used to be a chatroom for my friends and I. Furthermore I know some readers are lazy to comment when they have something to say. XP The archive, popular posts, labels.. Nothing to change for these..

Now the blog links. I haven't updated the whole list for more than a year I think? @@ Opened the links one by one, and I found out that many friends have put their blogs to private. Sadly. Coz I do enjoy reading some of their blogs. >< Friends who requested not to list out their blogs, I removed them from the list. 

So if you see your blog link in the list and you prefer me to remove it, feel free to let me know. No worries, I'm fine with it. =D

At the same time, I filtered out the famous bloggers' links under a new list - "I'm Reading".

Coz we don't know each other (in real life I mean) so I can't just classify them as my 'friends'...? XP

My other homes. Yes I've added my twitter to the list! I haven't tweeted in a while. This year have been quite a busy one and I seriously lost contact with all my online life. T^T I went to my DA account and I see 600++ messages. GOSH. Oh you can see my new twitter background here. (New Backgrounds) I love the heart fox! (I know I said it before. XD)

My wanna read list. I brought most of my books to Ipoh, and they're still there. I will update the list once I get back there.

Last but not least, my wanna watch list. You have NO SINGLE CLUE how much dramas I've left out due to that 'great' responsibility this year. I checked out my external hard disc and I listed out EVERY series I WILL watch. =D And can you believe that excluding the series in the list, I have approximately 50GB++ of movies in my lappy? I have soooooo many things to watch now. 

And so? My goal for this break is to finish off 100GB of drama series!

10 korean drama series, 4 hongkong and 1 taiwan. 

EXCESSIVE RIGHT?

 I know. =P

P/s: Nothing to change about the 'Followers' list. The 21 followers have been there for years and some of the accounts don't even exist anymore, I believe. XP

Chocolate is Love!

Souvenirs from relatives who just went to Langkawi!

Thankyou so much!! ♥

Bread Sushi

VOILA!!

YongYong was brainwashing mum and I about some what homemade bread sushi his classmate brought to school. He kept telling us how nice and awesome it is and he wants to make it at home too. He said he tried once already before I came back. 

Now he even managed to brainwash my cousins and insists that he MUST make it for them today because they want to try. Oh well. So we got ourselves bread, sausages, seasoned seaweeds and some Japanese mayonnaise. 

Cross section view.

It's not hard to make. Just compress a slice of bread, put any flavouring you like, roll the sausage with the flavoured bread. Then you put some mayonnaise on the seaweed and wrap the 'rolled bread' by rolling it again. Don't put too much mayonnaise on the seaweed coz the purpose is just to let the seaweed hold onto the bread. That's all.

Surprisingly it tastes pretty good. XP

Snakes & Ladders

Well I saw YongYong wandering around the house boringly, so I asked him to take out his chess sets and see what he wants to play. We played Chinese Checkers, Ludo and Snakes & Ladders!

Snakes & Ladders happened to be one of my favourite board games when I was still a kid. Used to play it several times with Yukee. When I got really REALLY bored, I even took four counters and play it on my own. Gawd that was so sadist hahahaha!

Going off for some English Chess now!
Miss those childhood memories sometimes. =3

Blog Challenge - Day 15

HEYYY!! It's finally my year end break and yes I'm home for 7 weeks again! Which is something not really good in way - MANY OF MY HOLIDAY PLANS FAILED - due to personal reasons.

Before reaching Penang, I did many thinking on the bus. Maybe I should blog every day? You know just to brush up my writing skills and it's pretty much going downhill. I wanted to do my first 1.5m cross stitch but I have budget issues.

I dug out my first blog challenge, which I clearly remember that I left it at the last day-challenge. 

DAY 15 - ONE THING I NEED TO SAY

(See Full Challenge)

I have just 'retired' from the 'class rep' post. I'm OFFICIALLY FREE from being any of the class committee! I met different kinds of problematic people and many kind people. I found out that we just can't divide people into the NICE and the BAD ones. There are people who are somewhere in the middle. There are also people who never intended to harm you, but actually did without themselves knowing. 

I'm a person who really remembers stuff. (Ignore the eeny weeny things lah.) But after these six months, I've learnt that I need to let go of things. I'm going to learn to put down hatred, and treat the things I dislike neutrally. Help and love that I have felt and received, I will never forget you. 

Thank you, to those who helped me so much.

Thank you, to those who gave me troubles. I grew because of you.

Thank you, to those who willingly sacrificed without hoping for anything in return.

Thank you, to everyone who supported me all the while.

It's that trust that helped me through whenever I face difficulties.

This post might look exaggerating to you. But I really learnt many stuff. I never wanted to the head of the class, but I won't regret that I did.

The happiest things for the semester, I finally had quite a few gatherings with friends. GOOD AND HAPPY ONES. And my relationship with him grew too. =)

I now look forward to going back and meeting my housemates again. Two years left, and it'll be over in a glimpse. Treasure it. =)

New Backgrounds!

OH YES BABEY THREE PAPERS DOWN!! Two left.

PHEW. *wipes sweat off forehead*

Didn't have anything much to update here for the past few days other than my boring (and last minute) revisions. But I did do some stuff, when I procrastinated again. XD

I almost forgot that I have a Twitter account. I stared and stared, and I find my background darn boring. And this is how it looks now.

CUTE ISN'T IT? =D

On the other hand, I came across Elle Magazine's new front page of S.H.E.. Seriously they're gorgeous! And then I spent a little time to edit the photo, shifted it a little to the left of my screen so that it won't be blocked by my desktop shortcuts. I haven't changed my desktop background eversince I bought lappy. Why? Coz I haven't seen any black backgrounds that I like this much for years. (You know, light backgrounds make the desktops icons look pretty illegible)

S.H.E. on Elle's front cover!
SEXY? Y/N?

I love my desktop so much now. XD

Nice Rice! XD

BEHOLD! 

My first attempt in steaming rice!! XD

And it's so much better than my previous attempts with the rice cooker. ><

好男人和卫生棉

I came across this little story and I thought I'd like to share it with you. =)

那日我完全没有感到任何预兆，照常打卡上班。正在忙碌之际，感觉身体似乎有些不舒服，我起身至洗手间，才赫然惊觉在我不经意间已血染一片，就连我那件纯白的洋装也遭殃。我慌乱的不知如何是好，之得先以卫生纸代替。想到公司里只有三朵花，偏偏今天一朵花休假，另一朵花已跟随经理脚步外出。现在办公室里的都是男人，叫我如何是好。此时我真的感到叫天天不应，叫地地不灵，以迅速不及掩的速度，快速闪入较没人去的第三会议室。我决定赶快求救兵，想我在公司可也称得上的办公室之花，怎可因为这件事而让我身价大跌呢？

正在思考该找谁时，在偌大的会议室内我看见一双晶亮的眼睛正盯着我瞧。

我下意识的遮掩我的裙子，人不由自主的往后退。他到底知道多少？刚刚我闪身进门时，躲在门缝边观察是否又被人看见，他不知有没有看见。可我在瞧见他脸上那一抹不怀好意的笑时，我确认他一定看得一清二楚，我窘得恼羞成怒。这人是谁？怎么会在公司的会议室内呢？

正想先声夺人逼问，没想到男人站起身，没头没脑的问：“你都用什么牌子呢？” “嗄！” 我一时反应迟钝纳纳的问“卫生棉”。他毫不扭捏说得理说当然。

“都可以。” 我脸上一阵潮红，尴尬得想钻洞隐居，尅是我内心里着时感动。

一个陌生人而且还是个男人，愿意为我伸出援手去买卫生棉。想我初恋男友陪我逛街，每次逛到女性用品他就浑身不对劲。逛的时间一久，就站得远远的像个保镖的保持距离，所以他这样的勇气是谢谢都不足以表达。

想想便利商店就在公司楼下的几步之遥，课室这男人却一去十多分钟，该不会是骗我的吧？我急得如热锅上的蚂蚁，总不会要我躲在这等下班吧？万一那些困着没事做，爱找我聊天打屁，缠在我身边的苍蝇，一发现我这么久都没看到人，不晓得会不会想发挥英雄救美的老把戏而冲进女化妆室。万一在化妆间又看不到我，铁定会全面地毯式的搜索。这样劳师动众的话，我真是罪过。

就在我沉醉在自己的幻想时，男人缓缓地推门而入，我惊跳了下，赶紧查探有没有外人看见。“被担心，没人跟踪。” 男人说着自以为有趣的话。我给男人一个卫生眼，伸手拿过他手中的塑胶袋，不情愿的说声谢，接着又以忍者的最高境界闪入女化妆室。

但是在我打开袋子时，我惊愕的张大嘴，内心澎湃不已。男人不仅为我买了卫生棉，还帮我买了内裤及一件样式和我的纯白洋装相似的衣服。难怪男人去那么久，而我却错怪他，甚至连他姓啥名啥都忘了问。我旁敲侧击才得知原来男人是公司的往来厂商的业务课长。那天男人有点累，借公司第三会议室想小歇一下，去没料到我这冒失鬼会在那时闯入。

每个人都想知道我为何打听那男人的事，尤其那些围绕在我周围的苍蝇，个个仿佛心急如焚，好似我即将无行情可言。当然我不会透露一丁点消息给任何人。其实说穿了是我根本不知该如何启口。毕竟我们的邂逅不够浪漫，也不够天雷勾动地人，有的只是无限尴尬。

很多事情总有许多转机，就在我快遗忘男人的样貌时，男人出现了，仍是带着那有点让人讨厌的不怀好意的笑脸。

男人递给我一张小纸条，随即潇洒的转身离去，独留我费了九牛二虎之力，才躲过那些好事之徒及打击受伤的苍蝇。我打开小纸条，工整的字体映入我眼帘。纸条上写着：“我们虽没有很浪漫的邂逅，可平实的相处才是永恒爱情的基石。我不想只曾经拥有，我想和你天长地久。希望你能给我机会，我们交往看看，我必会让你无后顾之忧。”

这么文情并茂的情书，该要感动的痛哭流涕才符合剧情。偏偏我鸡皮疙瘩掉满地，真想撕烂手中的纸条。

没错，你猜对了。我们开始交往，情书我没撕烂，因为我想看他能否兑现。而到目前为止我很开心，因为他真的让我无后顾之忧。在他身上三百六十五天总会携带一篇薄薄的卫生棉。那是甜言蜜语无法取代的体贴表现…
