Harlows. Come to think of it, I never started writing as if this was a letter before - and I am not going to begin doing so! Hahaa!
It has been rather challenging time for me (at work) - suffice it is to say that I don't quite recall a time as intense as this. What can i say? God has an interesting way of answering our prayers! But for those who are worried - dont be! I have been surprisingly good - my spirit most high, I am laughing half the time (the other half I am panicking) - I have to thank my crazy colleagues and God - talk about the joy of the Lord man..
But it's boring for you all to read this, when I can't give any particulars of what I am busy with at work rite?
yes yes, I know my audience - shall move on to my interesting stuff - like photos.
1. Hong Kong Cafe
It's been some time, but my lovely HS and I discovered the HK cafe - it rocks man! I mean, they serve all the HK style food - as for me, I am very pleased to have maggi mee served with my luncheon meat... Talk about being crazy..
I mean check out the soup all! It must be crazy to pay 6 bucks for maggi mee - but heck larh.. 开心就好 - allow me to indulge myself.
And here is my lovely HS - as WH puts it, with the most characterful face.. i oso say.. chioh too.. :)
She went to China for a work trip, and brought back peaches! the real kind! super sweet it was - I am more captivated by the colour and look of it. And check out the happening cheena plates - at first I was most excited to see it - old school plates! But I realized it was a faux - is plastic lorh.. =_=
2. No more WWH
Sob!
My bestest WWH has left for London - possibly for good! (crys mad tears) I is most sad! And he hasnt replied to my emails =_=
As many would know, WWH is most dear to me and now he is going to be out-stationed ! Who is going to whine and dine with me now?! So this is us before he left - I wanted to buy him dinner, but ended up he got the bill first.. drinks was on me tho..
This is JF who joined us - he insisted on me taking this picture of him attempting to look effeminate - i think cannot make it larh - he look so man how to be ahem..
But seriously, this is a great loss to me, WWH going away that is... and I meant to see him off at the airport but I overslept. =_= but okay larh.. WWH called me before he went in..
Huang! If you are readin this, you better reply to me emails! Soon!!
3. KL Trip
I went up with the Trybe! ppl to KL, to explore the possibility of setting up Trybe! there. It was a road trip - Rach drove.
I lurve Malaysian road signs - it's like super vintage. Anyhows, the ppl in the car were calling out to me when they saw this one.. so famous I am.. haha
It was a short trip, but good.. so much food! We went to this nice Penang-style Kopitiam. I mean, the decor was very old school, the marble top table and wooden chairs and tiled floors (i like!).. but it was like clean and aircon..
Most importantly, the food is sooooooooooooooooo good!
This is a picture of the coconut I had there - which is one of a kind. It came with this white thingy - they managed to prepare the coconut by shaving its head off and just covering it with the sticky food film - so all you had to do was just peel it off and WAHLA! COCONUT FLESH!
i think Malaysian food just tastes better.. like even any old road side stall also can make it. this was like penang coffee, Curry chicken noodle (the ppl in malaysia have real JELAT tastebuds man.. the uncle was askin me if i wanted my curry noodle served with roast pork (shao rou).. SO JELAT... of cuz i violently refused him) ..
Okay. the truth of the matter is that I really took time to go up to Malaysia (take leave all) because I wanted to spend time with two very special people... Pastor Victor and Pastor Kelly!!! This very lovely couple were SUCH a blessing to me in their time in Singapore - i managed to spend one night at their place, Ps Kelly and I chatted till 5 am (so siao.. hahah)..
pastor Vic insisted on sticking a finger into each of the pictures I took =_=
watever.. u see him here, or rather, his finger..
(okay this is an interruption. whilst waiting for pastor victor to finish his meeting, pastor kelly and i went shopping - CHECK OUT THE SHOES!!! ay.. i din buy any okays.. such a good girl i am :) )
So i wanted to eat durians but in the end no time, so the pastors brought me to this place .. the local food was soooooooooooooooooooo good! (check out pastor vic's finger)
But i think the best of the food in Malaysia is the CLAYPOT PEI TAI MAK.. initially when it came i was like.. whats this man.... until you taste it.. SO YUMMY!!
4. the Parents
Um. I dont have much to say about the parents actually. Except that I think this picture I took of them whilst i brought them out for dinner is MOST endearing - they are possibly the most loving couple I know.. i think it comes with the age gap.. hahaa..
5. New Place
I recently chanced upon this ultra ulu place in the East. i think it rocks, especially for the time when i own my own yatches! You recall how I like to spend time in nature, hence the Bintan fishing village trips all (which you can read about here).. this place just faces the open sea! Shiok man (minus the Cheena music)
Next time I need a break, I dont have to go so far liao.. but having said that I prob still would.. i lurve that Indon fishing village.
6. Lovely Anna
So at church last Sunday, little anna was struggling to open a bag of chips. After observing her attempts for awhile, as well as her contemporaneous shouts to nobody in particular of "open for me!!", i offered my services...
Anna: Open for me! Open for me!
Me: Come, I open for you. (takes bag from her). What must you say?
Anna: Can you please open for me?
Me: Can who please open for you?
Anna: Can you please open for me, Auntie Jasmine? (she stares at me for awhile) Auntie Pretty?
Me: LOL!!!
So cute!!! I didnt even teach her to say that! What to do - kids dont lie.. lol.. Needless to say, I definitely opened the bag of chips for her larh - most promptly too.. hahha..
