Staring into space...

I really have to thank God... Without Him, I wouldn't be able to finish by video in time. Frankly, I am quite tired right now.

So very tired...

I've just a little time before I have to be ready, full gear and prepared for the next assignments.

Too lazy to blog actually.

By the way, in my college, in Wong Kok, there's this very nice waiter uncle, or maybe he is the manager there. I don't know but every time he serves, it gives me a very nice feeling. It's like he is truly happy seeing us, serving, always ready with a smile, a kind word. I just find it so rare, some one so willing to serve with such a positive attitude. Thumbs up for that uncle!

My eye lids are getting really heavy... Sooooo heavy~~

A lil surprise from daddy! =)

Lemon butter cake with lemon glaze.

I made this cake, by improvising the recipe that was meant for a butter cake, I just added some lemon zest and lemon juice.
Used the excess lemon juice and added icing sugar to make the lemon glaze. =) Family liked it...


On Tuesday, my one and only oh-so-kind daddy called me out for dinner. As this rarely happens as he travels back everyday. I have to admit, I wasn't very eager(I know,so bad of me right) mainly because I had my video and assignments to do, and well, I had planned out everything from what I'm supposed to do,where to shoot my video etc..

But I agreed to dinner, and when I got into car, dad said he was bringing me out some where out there for dinner and refused to tell me where. You should know one thing about me, I'm not a very big fan of suspense and surprises. I need to know where I'm going, when, what time etc. Basically, I am person who needs to know the whole plan or else, I would be uncomfortable and fidgety throughout the whole journey, and oh yeah, did I mention that I would keep bugging you throughout the whole journey to tell me where we are heading? =)

Well, he suddenly turned into a basement parking and I didn't get the chance to see where we were, he parked and led me out. To my very big shocking surprise, we arrived in...



Yup, my daddy brought me to Genji in PJ Hilton! And you should know that hotel food are never cheap, what more Genji? One of the very very expensive Japanese restaurant?!
A piece of mussel costs a frigging RM14!

I remembered though, My dad brought me here once, for a Japanese buffet, my daddy and I only, while my mum and other sisters went to Victoria Station as they were not that keen on Japanese food. My dad and I GORGED ourselves silly with all the Sashimi and raw mussels.
It was fun, just the two of us, stuffing our faces with raw fish. Oh, those memories. And I use to be able to eat a lot, like practically A LOT. So I think we ate our money's worth that night. =)


Genji has a dark but warm ambiance, with all the fancy and nicely decorated ornaments and cutlery.




This cup had Cawan Mushi in it, but I was to hungry to take the picture and had gobbled it up first.

And... I did not take any of the food, too hungry.=)

We ordered a bento set and soba noodles in hot pot. AND we actually ordered a piece of grilled mackeral fish. And the portions that came, wow, I was full up to my neck! But the price was...well, big as well. The bill came up to almost RM200, but dad has some card that gave us a 50% discount. So we only paid half. =)

Oh yeah, my dad kept pushing the food to me saying that I was malnourished as I have not been getting good food/ proper balanced meal when I started out living alone. And fyi, I can cook, it's just that my kitchen is not in the position to cook. I'll leave all the disgusting details out but yeah, the kitchen is EXTREMELY dirty...

Ok, I think, this update is sufficient to last for the next few days.

Oh yeah, I just realized, the camera that I had borrowed from my friend, I don't have a memory card reader or a cable. (=.='') How to transfer the files into my laptop to edit my video? Dateline is tomorrow... =) Look at the bright side! Ummm... =) not feeling really anxious though... I DON'T KNOW WHY?!

=) I'm just in a happy mood. =) =) Smile more people, Life's too short to sulk and worry. =)

Getaway...

I need to get away from the routines of my life. The same things happening over and over again. It is surprising how surprised I can be still. I thought I have been surprised and shocked till I can't be shocked no more and there, Surprise Surprise, something comes along unexpectedly.

I'm contradicting myself if you noticed, I just said I wanted a change from my routines and here am I complaining about surprises. Well, I do not mind nice surprises but these are turning into little mini nightmares. It's like everything is laid bare, no where to hide, no where to run.

Whom can I trust, whom shall I pour out my troubles...

I am scraping my life back together and it is not easy. Now I know why God said, do not judge others,because I hate being judge.

Now I see, people are watching your every move, your every word. There's no saying that these things won't be said and used against you.

Cautious I shall be, No more seeing the real me.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me...

What could have been...

Know what I'm craving for....

Some banana pancake thingy...

Salmon Pizza

Steak from Tony Roma...

Tiramisu!!!!

Missing all these good food...

So far operation hardworking is still in progress. Considering how lazy I was, this is a much better improvement. My college is turning into a little shopping complex with the starbucks and subway and wong kok and famous amos and baskin robbins and many more little expensive shops coming soon in my college.

I think I deserve some little pleasures once in a while, don't you think so?

October's here, say goodbye to yesteryears..

Hmm,today is Sunday. Mood is terrible. Very very terrible to be exact. So terrible that... that I had to eat a whole bar of Kinder Buano and a bowl of koko crunch by myself to make myself happy. Seriously, I was not in the mood to be cheerful at all. I just got so irritated and annoyed at everyone, everything and well, basically just everything.

So,here I am sulking all by myself...

No mood to blog even... Well, goodbye.

Baking mania!

Today was very very productive~
Am proud of myself! =)
I deserve a pat on the back!

Haha, I managed to accomplished the few things that I needed and wanted to do which were
1.cut the grass
2.printed out my chord sheets and had a fun time during practice
3.baked butter cake and chocolate chip cinnamon muffins!

I woke up at 9am, had a cup of coffee and then proceeded to cut the grass around 10am. Finished at 11.30am. Helped my maid to bathe my dogs and then straight took a bath and then went for music practice. Came home around 4.15pm and then rested for a while. After dinner I started baking! Wanted to bake for quite some time already just that I did not have the time.

My mum even asked me, why do you always seem to bake only at night. Well, I ain't got no choice! =)

Thankfully the butter cake turned out perfectly if I may say so myself!



It was super moist! My dad does not have a sweet tooth,I mean, he doesn't even like chocolates! But I know that he loves butter cake. =) Am glad he liked it!
As usual, Chris was just glad to have something to eat.Have you ever eaten a cake fresh out of the oven? The warmth and heat still entrapped in the cake. Every buttery bite is enough to make you swoon on your feet.

And just to show you how much I've missed baking, I made chocolate chip cinnamon muffins while the butter cake was baking!

Baking twice in a row is something I never thought I would ever do.Imagine all the cleaning up I would have to do. Haha, but as the muffins were quite simple, I just reused the same bowls used while making the butter cake. Actually,I am quite intimidated by muffins as this is my,if I'm not mistaken,my fourth attempt in making muffins and the first few batches did not turn out as well as I had hoped.I was actually a little worried and scared and I thought to myself, if this time the muffins do not turn out nicely,that would be my last muffin attempt!Thank God it turned out beautifully. But I had so little faith in my muffins that after taking them out of the oven,I just left them on the kitchen table and went to the living room. I was disappointed at the look of the muffins but as the saying goes,"Do not judge a book by it's cover" or in this case,muffins!

Chris came running out to me saying,"Eh,Dix, you muffins very nice la this time!" Woosh, I instantly felt relief!

The chocolate chip cinnamon MUFFINS!!!

Chrissie told me this joke which I feel should be shared.

Everyone has a photographic memory,it's just that some do not have any films...

Don't get it? Well, never mind than! =) Adios! Until we meet again!

My family is where my heart is...

I have to say, home sweet home or in my case, I prefer to say Home Chocolate Home!(lame,I know right!)

I've missed everyone,my dogs who greeted me with licks and whines after a week of not seeing me. Especially Fluffy,she is one dog that can really melt your heart. After coming out of the car, she whined and whined as if it has been 10 years since she saw me. She clambered, jumped and scratched me all over. Hershey came next, and then the old dog. Benji needed to be called and he is the oldest dog and the one I am most fond of. He came,sat in front of me and waited for me to pet him. Then as I walked further in front to play with Fluffy, he came over and sat right next to me, making sure his fur touches my knee,a sign that he wants more attention. =)
I love my dogs!

Fluffy!

Hershey,the mummy!

Fluffy again.

Hershey again!

Fluf muff!

There are no pictures of Benji coz well, he's old but he's cute. Yeah, why didn't we take his pictures? Old man must be camera shy!

And bam, suddenly I have so many things to do. Tomorrow I will have to cut the grass, then print out my chord sheet, and after practice I might bake. Then I have to study my Media Lit.

I seem to have a lot of things to do.Time to reorganize my time and schedules!

Well,back to my story, as I walked into the living room, the familiar rush of warmness in seeing my mum, sitting on the couch, my eldest and third sis sprawling on the next couch watching their favorite Hong Kong drama. Youngest sis hiding somewhere in the house but yeah, at least this is home.

These are snippets of Lady Antebellum's songs which seem to be directed at me.

Seems I was walking in the wrong direction
I barely recognized my own reflection, no
Scared of love, but scared of life alone...

(Ready to Love Again)

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when its time to go home
May you always have plenty
The glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone
(Never Alone)

Sometimes I feel cold as steel
Broken like I’m never gonna heal

Every day I drive by a little white church
It’s got these little white crosses
Like angels in the yard
Maybe I should stop on in, say a prayer
Maybe talk to God like He is there
Oh, I know He’s there
Yeah, I know He’s there

Well hello world
How you been
Good to see you, my old friend
Sometimes I feel as cold as steel
And broken like I’m never gonna heal
And I see a light, a little grace, a little faith unfurls
Well hello world

Sometimes I forget what living’s for
And I hear my life through my front door
And I breathe it in
Oh, I’m home again
And I see my wife
Little boy and little girl
Hello world
Hello world

Well the empty disappears
I remember why I’m here
Just surrender and believe
I fall down on my knees
Well hello world
(Hello World)
