Stayed Tuned ~

Hiya pals,

It's been a really long while since my last update. To be exact, the last post was dated Oct, 2009 ! OMG!! What a shame.. 

Well, unfortunately, been real busy this year. The GOOD, the BAD, the UGLY, all just happened. However, still, managed to survive, and managed to put up this blog today.

Anyway, decided to pick up my long-lost-touch blogger. So pals, stay tuned for the upcoming blogs for more food and others. (which, in this case, the 'others' means regine lah..) *wink*

Yours truthfully,

Regine

Remarks:
Oh, I will back-dated the post according to my wordpress. So, don't get confused if you find the date might be messed up a little bit.

A Present

[ 礼物 ]

photo taken from the Internet

A woman bring her man to a branded outlet, wanted to buy a wallet for her man, as his valentine's present.

They heart a design, which comes in 2 colors, dark blue and dark brown. Woman likes the dark brown's, whereas the man likes the dark blue's.

Woman told her man, "If I'm the one who buy you this presents, I will take the dark brown's."

And there they go, they took the dark brown's.

~~ ** ~~

What does it mean by present anyway? It's something that we give to people that is based on our preference, or something that we give to people based on his/her preference?

To me, I think that since this thing will belongs to the person, sure I will pick something that the receiver would be happy to have. His/her preference will be the issue I will consider. Else, what's the point of giving someone something that he/she not going to use or do not like?

Moreover, both of the party went to shop for the present together, and the receiver already told his opinion. Shouldn't we just accept the receiver's opinion? What's the point of choosing the present together then? Is it still consider 'choosing the present together" ?

Seriously, what's the point of buying something that costs a sum but the person who is going to get it doesn't like it anyway?

Tiny little life

[ 小小生命 ]

Recently, my house became very merrier, with the presence of lot of little small life. Indeed, they are really small.

He been obsessed with the shrimps recently, that he rare his own aquarium full of shrimps. The shopping list from the aquarium, decoration, food, seaweed, sands, etc. All this done by him, alone. Well, I was just be his company when he do his shopping. Haha.. Oh, and I'm his helper when he cleaning the aquarium once a week too. But the biggest responsibility that I'm having, is to seat in front of the aquarium, and enjoy the free world of the shrimps.

The aquarium, is located just next to our bed. This way, we manage to view them swimming here and there, looking for foods, or playing with the 'trees' in the water. It's really so happy to look at them, working hard with their tiny little legs, trying to swim from here to there. And their mouth, is like never stop eating. They keep open and close, while their hands delivering the food to the mouth. It's just very fun.

Well, come to think of it. If we can just live like them, no need to worry anything, no need to bother anything. There will be food when it's the time, and there will be a clean habitat when it's the time (fully served by a human). I don't have to do any special attractive stunt to please my master, but just live the way I want to be. 

Sounds good right? Just one free and easy life!

Let me be willful, just once

[ 容我任性一次 ]

People say, SHOPPING is the best therapy for a lady to chase away her unhappiness.

When the bags in your hands gets more and more,  you will find the satisfaction gets bigger and bigger.

But of course, when the bill comes, your heart might just stop beating, for the huge amount showing on the piece of paper. Well, hell the bill.

I just wants to be willful this time, just once. Hahaha...

Kena cucuk petpet

[ Kena cucuk petpet ]

I wrote in my FB, 'Kena Cucuk Pepept..'

Someone said, 'do you enjoyed it'

Someone also said, 'what is petpet'

Someone even said, 'cuck petpet, this words makes people thing of wrong way..'

What do you think, that what I'm talking about?

Am I a Food Blogger?

[ 美食部落? ]

阿翼兄 asked if I've changed my blog into food now. 

Well, when I look back to the previous few posts, oh ya, it's all about food! Although you may find some other topic in between, but it's still food food food! Then I look at the renewal date. It's like one or twice a month. Uh, am I became a super lazy pig now?

Refresh my memory, to the time when I started to blog. I was thinking to get a place for me to write something, to share something, something that happened in my life, something that happened around the world. The good, the bad, the ugly, all should leave a footsteps here. After all, it's part of my memory, isn't it. But then, things seems like changed now.

When we started a blog, and it's for public, meaning it's opened, anybody can just come and visit your page. There could be friends, or neighbors, or even families. No privacy, no secret. We can't post something that we don't wish people to know, nor can't write something that shouldn't write.

But when I grow older now, older and older actually. My thinking has changed. Actually, there are some things that we don't want people to know, some things that we don't need people to know, some things that we prefer to keep for ourselves. And there are some things, bad things, which don't want trouble the reader, or affect the readers. This things, are better just keep to own-self, and let the time to heal.

So, what's left other than this? FOOD! Well, this are most welcome though. Everybody like to eat! 

The bad thing is, I'm not good in writing about food, can't describe precisely the feeling and the taste of it. Must pay more effort on this though..

2010

[ 二零一零, 2010]

It's year 2010 this year. And, it's a fateful calendar year for me. Hehe, 20102010, brings me another meaning, a good one I suppose. Not going to do resolution for year 2009. For those already passed, just let it be the past.

Hm, how should I begin..

For those already happened, there is no point to look back for regret, can't do much though. Although it's been said, we should take the past as experience, so we will not make the same mistake again. But frankly, how many of us, can really do this? When the same incident happen for another time, people usually makes the same mistake, again and again. Perhaps, after few times repeated same mistake, one will change, finally.

And for those that should come to you, it will come. Many times, when we actually planned for something, it will eventually turned to failure. One and another unexpected incidents, caused the mission failure. People usually say, the higher the expectation, the higher the disappointment. We should really make the move when it cross through our mind. Do not wait, just do it !

Sometimes, being ah Ah-Q is nothing wrong at all. Haha, it could probably just because I'm such a lazy fello. lazy to think, lazy to imagine, lazy to do anything. I don't like to think about the unhappiness of the past, I don't like to plan for uncertainty, I don't like the unpredictable future to be, I don't like just everything at all. But then, so what?

If we are like the characters in the game, the RPG games. The owner of the character can decide to reset the character's by just one button, then everything start all over again. Sound great huh ? All those unhappiness and sadness will wash away with a bottle of sleeping pills. (Of course, this is such an irresponsible way of saying..)

Whatever.. We should just live today as no tomorrow !

strong wild mushroom taste, creamy and delicious

lamb stew

the meat is well-cooked, so tender that it melt in your mouth

served with mint sauce, taste great

sirloin steak
been cooked too well, although its been told to medium-well

garlic bread

not so heavy garlic smell, taste better with soup

grilled salmon steak
heard it taste so-so, nothing special tohugh

dessert
too sweet, does not like it

iced latte
also so-so, prefer the one from Starbucks

P/S: Love the decoration of the restaurant, the service is good too. But the food wise, I personally think they should have put more effort on this. But then, may be it's not the food their main selling point?
