Taste of Home

Finally i'm back to my rightful land. Things have changed, including me, and everyone else.

 

Have not seen much of town, only Gaya Street on Sunday and Tong Hing and the ridiculously tall Suria Sabah Mall. The view of the sea and islands have been partially obscured with the completion of the structure. Don't see any need to be proud of Suria Sabah. That definitely needs some getting used to. Especially after Penang's Feng Shui lesson at the Cheong Tze Fatt mansion, a home should ideally be built on a hill, and no tall building should tower at its entrance, or else no good feng shui will be able to enter the house. As for the back of the house, there should be a mountain, and the house should face the sea. This is to create the illusion of the house being protected and guarded on a dragon's back. Neat huh? Not all Chinese traditions are weird after all, it seems.

Langkawi was amazing, i love the showing down of time as one walks along the rows of mini bars and sundries. And how one looks at life in a different way when lying on the sand and looking at the blue skies and hearing the waves. But best of all, the salty sea's oceanic and fresh scents. 

I am absolutely planning on returning there, and this time, i want to visit the pregnant maiden lake, go on the crystal sunset yacht dinner, island hopping, feeding the eagles, the F-O-O-D and the gracious tax-less heaven for shoppers of alcohol and chocolate. Jack Daniels there is freaking cheap! I am so in love! Can i live on Langkawi or at least vacation there every year?


I've been home for nearly a week now, and what have i been up to? Yes, i've been playing maid at home. I'm planning to spring clean the whole house within this week. Today i cleared out and dusted, and vacuumed and mopped the master bedroom which i share with my mum. It was so unbelievable dusty that i had to do something about it! Then i straightened out the balcony which was so cluttered that my mind was affected whenever i laid eyes on it. Vacuumed, mopped the living room area and cleaned the filthy guitar case of Joshua's. 


Have been cooking dinner most nights, and i enjoy it so much, even though my fingers end up all stinging after peeling cloves of garlic and onions. I cooked sizzling beef the other night, and last night was curry chicken. Joel loved it that he took three packets of cream crackers to dip the sauce. I have to say, it tasted awesome. I marinaded the chicken pieces in curry powder for half an hour, and chopped up and pounded four cloves of garlic, some ginger, and added in potato and tomato into the curry mix. the powder was thick and enhanced the dish beautifully. Cooked it for half an hour until the potatoes were disintegrating. Sumptuous! I am encouraged at cooking dinner nightly since those nights of success. 


And guess what? Edgar came by to send my milky tea with chocolate pudding and coconut cubes from Yoyo which i have been craving for four months, and he surprised me with these!

Yup. He bought three extra bowls of pudding! They were awesome! One was Chocolate pudding with coconut cubes, another bowl was pure mango pudding, and the third was a mixture of all three pudding! My milky tea was on its own but with pearls, and i could add in the pudding and coconut cubes! ARGH! I felt like the luckiest girlfriend in the whole world! :D Thanks baby, you made my week!

I surprised my mum and brothers with 'dessert' to cool the curry dinner. They were overjoyed too! :)

Honey told me his dad wanted me to have the white HP Mini since months ago. His dad got it for free for some credit card reward and forgot all about it until recently. I wanted to buy it from them but uncle told Edgar to give it to me. Well? I received it last night along with the puddings :)
Imagine, Double Surprise.

It came like this. Fueled my excitement even more!

Pearl White! Lovely! A unique colour.

The gleam, the 'new' smell, the virginity of a brand new computer. Enjoy it while it lasts!

Even though i got it for free, i still feel obliged to pay for it. I am not a Charity Case. This computer isn't just any other product you can buy on even a yearly basis!

But it was so kind of hon and his dad to offer it to me :) Name the price Mr Pong!

I am so totally over the moon with my new perfume. Yes it is a Eau De Parfum, and it is lovely. It smells of candy and wine. I doubt you've heard of the brand. Its called Pussy Deluxe. =) call it coincidence, or a marketing gimmick. I don't care, it is still the greatest sweet scent, with the cheekiest and most fitting name. Genius ;)

Out of the box! And check out the polka dots on the wine red glass bottle! I feel like i've finally become a girl :)

THE PACKAGING! intricate design, and imaginative. Girlicious creative! One can't help loving this perfume inside out even on first sight!

Baby, i want to thank you for giving me so much, i don't think i can ever give back to you in that way. You have been so generous, so loving, manja me so much. I know i'm not exactly a good girlfriend sometimes, and i am a bit spoilt, okay, VERY spoilt and always wanting my way. Sorry for that, but i will restrain myself from being selfish all the time. I will give you a chance so show me what you got ;) love you.

Ok guys, its late, and its time i snuggle beneath the sheets and on my pillow. 

Life on the slow lane :)  Signing off!
