Travel: Walking alone in a warm hot night at Singapore

Today marks the 3rd day i'm in Singapore.. 10-12 was with parents and sis+hubby+bb,., then i continue my trip alone as i extended 2nights... Ending my 2011 nicely, i wish... Lotsa things happened this year.. pleasant ones and some not-so-pleasant.. Sometimes it's not what we want or wish, things happened unexpectedly... Learning to accept the fact that broken glasses cant be mend was hard but i think i'm doing great...


My last trip alone was driving to port dickson from petaling jaya,. after that everything was so nice and happy.. I feel real nice walking around and meeting friends here... at the same time i miss lil lucky and yea... some particular-one :)

So this is where i stay

Pillow and Toast- The attic wall

Where should i go tomorrow? ahahaha... bugis shopping? botanical garden? orchard? so nice.. and it will be better if i am damn rich ><

Good night people.. i shall sleep no matter how hot the room is >< sadz roommates.. they r cold and i am so hot ><

Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM2011): My 1st Marathon

20-11-2011... I had my 1st marathon.. doubted if i managed to finish it or not but then as one whom never put down her ego to give up.. i managed to finished with a complimentary finisher pewter medal(i was late by more than 15minutes)..


A day before the run, was dad's birthday.. we had fantastic sunset at balik pulau followed by dinner at some really out-of-nowhere for dinner..

My awesome misty sunset :)

Reached home but i was too reluctant to sleep though i know that i gotta wake up by 430am for my run ^_^... slept and awaken.. brush teeth wash face and head to Queensbay..

one picture of 4 of us before we start to run.. the guys' expression are abit off ><

the scenery was way nicer.. *picture from kelvin*

They reached faster than me alot.. but still me is one of the finisher.. yays.. thx for all of your support.. hehehe..

My 1st medal.. i will join the next run :)

About the run
It was my 1st time wearing sleeveless around for half day.. fat arms.. huhuhu
I walked more than running.. i guess three third of it was walking and ran abit..
Running towards the bridge was awesome.. the cold breezy air with breathtaking sunrise was a real pay off for the effort used.. not to forget running means burning calories too...

New Blogspot Interface and Facebook Quote

yesterday i was so happy to update my blogspot to the new interface :)
It is so easy to check who are my visitor and where are they from.. how many people actually visit my blog.. my reader hits are getting lesser.. iloveblog era was so geng.. i had at least 20-30 readers everyday.. that was when i kept writing reviews on books, trips and all.. perhaps i should write back all those :) that will be in seemei.net

the old one.. not so user friendly and not so pretty.. dull and 1.0web style

 the new one is simpler, cleaner, more user experienced type of interface

Today my facebook link.. so many people like this quote cos it is so true..

being single really does not mean that we are not good enough.. just that no one is good enough for us for the moment :)


That's all for today.. skipped gym cos lack of cars :) will continue back on wednesday.. thurs need to skip cos mom's bday.. fri needs to skip cos working in bayview.. sat and sun i should go :)

friday's lunch

monday is just a few hours away.. but hey.. i rewarded myself some nice seafood last friday for working faster than my scheduled routine ^_^

seafood soba:

step 1: boil water and boil the soba for 3minutes (i boiled 5minutes and the outcome was too soft to my liking)
step2: clean the squid and prawns.. when you choose your prawn, make sure it is fresh and always has its head attached ^_^
step 4: fry the prawns' head and shells until aromatic..
step5: pour in water and bring it to boil.. this is to get the prawns essence but not too much intake of the cholestrol stuff on the prawn head.. throw the shells n prawns head after this and keep the stock for the soba


step 6: with 3 drop of oil on the non sticking pan.. fry the prawns until golden brown..
the prawns was practically dancing which reminded me the cute hip hop instructor.. lol.. watching him is like watching step up live... (opps sorry for the distraction by associating cooking with dancing)

step 7: add in squid and salmon.. need not add additional oil for this as salmon contains lotsa fish oil ^_^.
As the seafood is almost done.. sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste..

tadaa.. this was my friday lunch ^_^

2more extra plates for parents... lil lucky wants abit but no... no seafood for my handsome baby ^_^...

budget for this meal:
soba: rm3.50
prawns: rm5
squid: rm2
salmon: rm9
3drops of oil, 30minutes gas usage, salt, soy sauce: rm1.50?
left over cabbage and carrots: rm0.50..

total: 21.50 for 3person+1baby nephew meal...

**next post will be how to cook the noodles.. but i dun think i will use soba anymore.. spagetti/angel hair would have taste nicer :D
** life is good when you eat healthy and feel happy consuming the food...
**recipe and food cooked.. all within my imagination.. i shall not limit my imagination no matter on design or cooking ^_^...

Sharing is Caring

Starting to share food that i prepare to work.. :)
Will always make some extra so people around me can try

So this is what i got for today:

with 3 drops of oil.. i fry my sliced mushrooms and halved tomatoes :)

The out come.. bottom with wild rockets, then my scramble egg with tomatoes n mushrooms, topped with a 1cm-thick pork honey glazed ham,, with generous amount of black peppers :)

Feels happy seeing people enjoy my cook :) Without realizing, i am such a huge wild rockets fan.. I do not fancy the normal rockets but crazy over wild rockets :) It is time to be healthy
Came across this message in facebook:
I had this feeling.. sharing this quote to everyone.. I used to afraid of letting people know that i actually had crush.. but now.. who cares :) it was all just a sweet dream and nightmare.. Do not give up or hate everyone around just because of one person.. it wouldnt worth the outcome ^_^

Hero Turned Weak

Its already may.. again, i've abandoned my blog for 2months.. dear blog, i'm sorry...

this month.. hero broke down twice.. *ouch*.. but we are lucky that both time we have angels helped us out.. once was after pei's bday celebration.. another one was this evening after work.. i'm really grateful having u guys helping me out.. and wow... i drove a man-moved car too.. the 3 hunks push the car back to the factory, while i helped hero by turning the wheels..

may is a fruitful month to me.. nephew 1st bday..

baby with his mommy aka my big sis.. *promised baby that i will buy him a crown.. and so i did :)

sis made him a year book.. cover used the cloth i bought for him on his 3rd month ^_^

u see.. my nephew is a real hunk-to-be, chew drumstick with style ok! :D

celebrate mothers' day.. i assume.. the dinner in double good was for mothers' day.. thou the restaurant named double good but quality for the food is double bad.. price was a burnt too.. rm178 for small lil steam fish, some very not tasty deer meat, a few pieces of vege, tofu and chicken or pork.. i cant remember because the food had not reason for me to remember.. not amazing.. with no wow.. personally.. if u wan2 go double good, you shud go to fong yuen.. taste better..

A Day Out-Shopaholic!

Talked bout Masuki lotsa times in the past but never pay them a visit... Today paid them a visit to grab our lunch *kels, pei & me*

1st impression was.. *with our jaw drop* >.<" because all the waitress are hokkien speaking aunties and pretty rude as well. Their layout makes me so_not_interested in snapping some shots of the environment. The food did some blink on us.. with the price range of 15-24 *the food that we ordered* its ok as at the end of our lunch, a scoop of haegan dazz is served :D

while waiting for the food, a cup of ocha is served


my seafood set_ RM24 + 15% tax *the mushroom is not in my set thou*

I did not post the scoops of ice cream because i feel the pictures are not nice althou the food there are pretty good.. i would rate them as 3.5/5. Their points pull up all because of the food.. The workers are... zzz

Proceed to prangin mall.. oh my goodness.. warehouse sale!! slurged on nike perfume *ok my gucci almost finish* then bought mom a set of blusher *50%* As we walk.. i buy nail polish and a ring *all in turqoise color!!* since i bought mom a blusher.. then i buy dad his wasabi green beans :P trying hard to be fair.. hehe

I'm so in love with turqoise recently.. Come i share the picture here.. did not snap the flower ring and nail polish thou :P

say hello to my pretty turqoise bottle :D

*did not snap the restaurant and place coordinate because i'm not a flogger :D
*tomorrow is monday = work
*broke oh broke ><
*conclusion happy weekend

New sport shoes-miss turqoise

Loved turqoise since i was form 3,,, if you know me back then, my whole pencil box stationaries are in turqoise or violet.. had bad experience with nike for 4 years.. no kidding, 4 years of wearing.. it still 'bite' cut me..

Mandala

life of working.. every tuesday, wednesday and friday will have my lunch in the office.. either i will cook or maybe buy outside.. since so many time left, we either play cards, color mandala or one of us do presentation..

Talking about mandala, its something related to sacred or sanskrit stuff that its about finding your own peace of mind... with the concept everything in this world is in a form of circle.. Mandala is believed to have the healing and destress effect for us.. so why not give it a try :D

For the first session, i did not get to join as i was away from work enjoying my sick leave.. but i got my 1st mandala done on this tuesday.. What i learn from this mandala is that.. choose the simplest to color, then i can get it done fast =P

Tadaaa.. our kindergarden section of workplace :D

all of our mandala


my mandala! *non-edit*


processed in poladroid =P *too lazy to photoshop*

*Rationale/What i've learn: Life is about making choices. Never afraid of making mistake or refrain yourself from trying new things. Else you won't know what you will be in the future.

Colors of life,
By Cmei

*Conclusion from mandala> i kind of feel very happy after that because i love coloring. at least my life is not just design and design :D
*that's all for now..
*oh ya.. i've learnt html and css from scratch!! thx to Andrea :D.. thx alot if you encounter this blog.. i appreciate it alot.. *worship*
*html and css will soon be my best friend
