I'm BACK

i WAS back rather,
yesterday.

i had to miss a deepavali outing at Leva's house on deepavali day
sorry leva, hope you had a happy Deep^^
 all because my pa had 'commited' me and mom to a eating expedition.
apparently, its a once in a lifetime thing.
yes, i repeat EATING EXPEDITION.

we started out at around 1pm.
all the uncles and aunties plus us the children met at church first
then we began our so-called EPIC journey
of three hours to Temerloh, Pahang
just to eat

we drove for about 1 hour+ before stopping at Karak town to sample
the town specialty of
DURIAN BOM 
haha..i find the name cute.
we then continued driving ..
we passed by Sungai Pahang
and even saw a signboard to Tasik Bera
and we passed by FELDA Triang^^
i AM becoming a geography geek
the journey was a rather pleasant geographical journey.
when i saw the signboard stating FELDA Triang,
i shouted like jakun.haha..
all u form 2 ppl! this is a place mentioned in the textbook (talking to u:hoyan and littlerain)
so after 2 hours more of winding dizziness
we finally reached the place we drove 3 freaking long hours for.^^
so u can imagine : suddenly a group of kl ppl invading the small kampung area and disturbing the peace there.XD
we waited for awhile for the restaurant ppl to set up.
there are only 4 tables in the restaurant..so its exclusive la..
only by booking.
let's get started on the food shall we.

first of all..

this is the place. Mengkarak, Pahang.

this is the Buddha Jump Over The Wall dish.
this was boiled for 8 hours to perfection.
THIS was what we drove 3 hours for.
as for the taste..yah, its kinda good..
there's abalone, fish stomach, black chicken and all sorts of chinese delicacies

next..
 
we had the pig's trotters (aka nice word for pig's feet/leg) with sea cucumber

this is the sharksfin soup with scallop

by now, the uncles were on their feet standing up and eating. {HANGAT}
they syioksendiri edi..^^

this is what I call COMMITMENT TO FOOD

next..the dish i never ate
except one spoon of the soup

tortoise soup
that's the shell right there


this is the very large fish aka sui malau : translated : water monkey

this is the super large super fresh prawns with oats i think, in super large amounts

after this, there was vegetables and fruits
which i didn't bother to take pics of.
i was busy eating the prawns..XD

so we washed hands and savoured the last bit of our once-in-a-lifetime chinese meal.

this is it, Chuan Kee Restaurant


that's the uncles + my two friends
boy in red : daniel &
boy in green : ir vin.

First Love

Image
When I think about the topic mentioned above, all the bittersweet feelings and memories flood back. Well, people usually get all mushy talking about this, whether or not the outcome was good. I mean, isn't it something learning to love another person for the first time, someone who isn't blood-related? Someone who could be a complete stranger, as far as blood lines go?  For some incomprehensible reason, I just felt like writing about this. Probably because I never really addressed this matter personally in black and white. Maybe for most people, their first love came in the form of a girlfriend or boyfriend. Well, mine came in the form of a best friend. Yes, my first love could be all the more memorable. Memorable, I would say in the way that it taught me painful lessons. Painful but meaningful lessons. I guess I have said this many times, but  love is really loving the person even if he/she doesn't love you the same way .  Which basically goes to say, that ...

i sing praises to your name

i just really wanna thank God for speaking to me and assuring me in some stuffs. He has really been a great comfort during these few days, as well as during my trip. well, wanna know more, you can always ask me in person. and i don't know about you guys, but reading back through old entries in my spriritual journal can be a great source of ideas, wisdom, and reminders to me. haha, i might've not really pay attention to what i was journalling at that time, (well, cause sometimes when you do devotion, you can be really tired and unfocused kan), but when reading them back, they really do make sense! ;) some of the unusual ways God works. anyway, here is a passage in the Bible which was like right on point for me. *pause* suddenly thought of this wonderful song, God is the Strength of My Heart . it's a great song.=) ok continue XD. taken from Isaiah 51. vs 14-16 "The cowering prisoners will soon be set free; for they will not die in their dungeon, nor will they lack brea...

He's Not The One 2

^ The title above refers to a poem with the same title that I wrote back in high school. After church camp, my mind was opened a little to the notion that maybe, just maybe, he isn't the right one. I guess the past two years, I have been so caught up with my feelings in this un-burstable bubble that I could not view the whole situation in a more sensible fashion. Indeed, I was waiting for the time that I could step back and look at my problem from the outside. Camp was my chance. I was far from my source of misery, closer to other people  in general. The chance I got to meet some other friends in the past weeks has also helped me a lot and I'm so very thankful to the Lord for sending all these marvellous people. I got to look at my situation from a totally different point of view. They might not know it, but talking to the two awesome Js was quite a big help and release. And then there was my Kor and my favourite siblings . Haha, that's why currently I'm an advo...
