悟

今天早上和禧一起去工作的路上，我没有像平时一般唠唠叨叨。
静静地，陶醉在这个城市刚破晓的美景里。
这一天、这个星期、这个月，就从一道曙光开始。

没有怨气的世界，好美。

傍晚爸妈如往常般去跑步，我一同跟着去。
最美的一道晚霞我没能拍下，因为我正专心地观赏着。
瞬间就消失了。真的很快。

平日多少的顾虑、多少的埋怨，我每天每时每刻都错过了多少人生中的美景。
美景，不单单是风景，还有更值得珍惜的人、事、物。

为我的人生翻开新的一页之前，我需要学习的，是放下。
心中有着太多包袱，想走也走不远，更别说要飞黄腾达。

禧为我买的书，还有看我一个人吃饭而来启发我的陌生人，种种迹象说不定是上天给我的启示。
希望我不会领悟得太迟。

这个七月不一样

尤其是在大学的日子里，七月是快乐月。

2007@1U

2008@The Cave

这家餐厅都已经不在了。

2008@Piccadilly

677最大势的庆祝。

2008@MidValley

2009@Genting

2009@Tarbush, Sunway

2009@Jack's Place

2009@SCI

有谁被遗漏掉的希望别介意，因为hard disk太乱了，有些找不到。

可是每一幕，都刻骨铭心，历历在目。

这些年来，七月我学会了欢笑。

但这个七月不一样。

这一年的七月，我必须学会成长。

Happy belated birthday, dear!

Self-baked cake is a must for dear's birthday each year. Better late than never, duh?

A simple marble butter cake. Due to the tight budget, I just used up whatever ingredient I had in the kitchen.

Cake fresh from the oven, topped with smooth ice cream from Bentong.

My brother's version: kaya from KL Yut Kee coffeeshop as topping.

The simplest and spontaneous cake I ever baked without any recipe.

All cakes came late this year. Three slices of Secret Recipe cakes from my mum; Cappuccino cheese, White and black chocolate cheese and Blueberry cheese. I didn't upload the photos, they would make my cake looks bad. ;p

Happy belated birthday, dear.

Umma Son Korean BBQ Restaurant @ Desa Sri Hartamas

It was dear's 24th birthday. No celebration, just a simple dinner. After considering a few options that I offered, at last he picked this:

Umma Son, literally the mother's hand, means mother's cooking.

It was my second visit, while the first for dear. Thanks to Selina for recommending this place. It's owned and operated by a Korean lady who speaks fluent Cantonese after residing in Malaysia for years.

BBQ pork. RM18 per pax.

Look at these slices. Thick huh?

While grilling the pork, the friendly staff keep telling jokes and stories about their Korean customers. See how Szee was attracted to the stories?

No, you won't taste or feel the fatness. The lard melted upon grilling, and drained into a bowl. See the drain underneath the grilling pan? It was served with fresh lettuce and dippings, forgot to take a picture of it.

As usual, Korean restaurant always serves complimentary and refillable side dishes.

Their signature dish = my favourite dish = fried seafood with glass noodles. Oh my, how shall I describe it in words? Two thumbs up!!! Price: RM18? Forgotten, around there la.

Korean rice cakes. RM10? Not sure, forgotten. But I am sure that it was really nice! Very chewy and not too sweet, definitely differs from the texture of Korean rice cakes that you get elsewhere.

A recommendation from the staff. Bean paste soup, served with rice. Tasted like more flavourful version of miso soup, not bad. Priced around RM15, I couldn't recall!

The food were in large portions. What we had ordered were enough for 3-4 persons, I guess. Try this place if you opt for authentic Korean cuisine.
Umma Son, 1st floor, above KK Mart (somewhere opposite to the Desa Sri Hartamas food court).
Opens at 5pm-2am.
Tel: 03-2300 2010

 

 Happy birthday dear.

May you have great achievement in your career, life full of happiness and of course stay healthy always. ♥

Kow Po ice creams @ Bentong

Decided to put this as a post on its own, rather than bury it in all the Bukit Tinggi photos. What a waste would that be, this is a must-go whenever one visits Bentong!

Let me reemphasize: If you go to Bentong, make sure that you drop by at this place!

They serve home made ice creams and various types of ice kacang, etc. 

I've tried their ice kacang and chendol during my first visit few months ago. Not so special, but their ice creams were SUPERB! So this time I was just aiming for the ice creams.

Chocolate, vanilla, banana, pandan, peanut, etc etc..... Scratch your head to decide which flavour you want! Of course you may have all. ;)

We had chocolate, banana and pandan.

Overcherishing the ice creams.

 

See how smooth they were? The pandan tasted very natural, just like our homemade tong yuen using real pandan juice. For the banana flavour, it's like melting a frozen banana in your mouth. While for the chocolate, you could taste the slight bitterness and richness of the chocolate!

Even after it melted, you won't see whitish bubbling cream like any other ice creams. I wonder whether they use cream in making it?

Three scoops cost us RM7.50. When we were paying at the cashier, surprisingly we found out that those ice creams are available for take-away! At RM13 each box, we bought 1 box of chocolate flavour. It was actually a plastic container, wrapped with newspapers and according to the staff, it could stand for 3 hours without melting.

Malaysia's weather helps contribute to the good business. Why don't they open a branch in KL? I would visit it at least once a week!

If you go to Bentong, remember to go Kow Po. It is nearby Bentong bus station, located next to Hong Leong bank. And if you go to Kow Po, please request the boss to open a branch in KL. ;p

Happy Early Birthday, Dear!

Abandoned this place for some time. Now I am back!

It's June now. Which means Szee's birthday month. We did not have a proper celebration, but these were what we have done.

Trapped in jam at Karak Highway. The people were heading to Genting Highland but we weren't.

We went to Bukit Tinggi.

Japanese village.

Trees. Koi. Tea house. Flowers.

And us.

Botanical garden.

Lots of bizarre looking plants.

Back to Colmar Tropicale.

Game stall.

Dinner@La Flamme

And this was when the tragedy happened. Little Lulu's head injury.

I wish I could return to the past and prevent it from happening.

Heartache!

Anyway, happy early birthday to my dearest dear. ;)

成长

年轻时，我们冲动。
只相信自己的眼睛。
认为有梦想就是伟大。
觉得自己的感觉是对的。

成长了，我们的思想沉淀下来。
知道事情并非只有我们看得见的一面。
领悟到日久见人心的道理。
惊觉梦想其实不等于理想。

要知错，而不是后悔。
要放慢脚步，而不是放弃理想。
要时时警惕自己，而不是怨天尤人。
