Why are you wearing slippers?

"Why are you wearing slippers?  Don't you know if you wear slippers to go out with me you have to use the back entrance instead?" "But at least I'm not wearing shorts? So that counts for something,"  I quip.  I knew how much you hated me wearing shorts or slippers out. "If you were wearing shorts you'd have to stay at home and wash the dishes,  because you're dressed like a bogaji *" I laugh ......and change into my shoes. *from what I gather, it means no money - mixing Hokkien and Malay - " What do you want?" you ask while we have lunch at Kanna. "Let's get sotong!"   I say excitedly at the promise of Kanna's sotong. " No cannot."  "But it's really really good!" "I know, that's why we can't have it.  If you order it I'm definitely going to eat some and it's very bad for me." With that logic, who was I to argue?......no sotong, we ordered chicken instead. - "

What mother says - Spaghetti Bolognese

I don't know about you, but sometimes I have cravings for the most random food. I spend my whole day thinking about it and anything else I eat just doesn't cut it for me, like wasted stomach space. And usually, nothing stops a craving. So when mum asked, "What do you wanna eat for dinner?" I could only think of one thing. Juicy chunks of minced beef, slowly simmered in fragrant herb to soak in the flavour. A rich combination of tender meat and  fresh vegetable, served with hot spaghetti. This was odd you see, I'm usually a rice and soup kinda person but that day, all I was thinking about and all I wanted was Spaghetti Bolognese. "I really really want to eat Spaghetti Bolognese" I tell mum, a dream cloud of yummy Spaghetti Bolognese forms over my head. "No no no, we're not eating Bolognese" The bubble pops. "But but but Mum! You don't understand!" " Bolognese is the only type of spaghetti I can cook .  Eat anything you w

Read about Day 1 here "OMG KEN YEANG!!! THIS IS SOO SCARY!!!! &%^%&@!!! I SHOULDN'T HAVE CLIMBED UP HERE!!! OMG OMG OMG!!!" Poor Ken Yeang,who had to deal with me while I was freaking out at the top of the temple, being such a girl . Shameful! Especially while Munyi, who was like an asian Lara Croft, was practically leaping off the steps making her way down from the Bayon Temple library. You see, it wasn't as scary on the way up. Okay actually it was, but it didn't look AS scary as it did on the way down!  All smiles, little did I know. Almost wanted to tell them to go on without me! Call a chopper or something to pick me up hahah! But it was really worth the heart-dropping-to-my-ass, because the view is pretty awesome  and you get to see a whole lot of Bayon Temple from up here! I wonder why there are so many pictures of me climbing down. Ken Yeang must have thought this very funny, was probably too polite to laugh at me so he decided to take pict

It's October and you know what that means...... time to party with Oktoberfest! Just so you're Oktoberfest-ready,  here are traditions and fun facts about this celebration : 1. When partying away during Oktoberfest... The beer usually drunk (getit getit) during is brewed within the city limits of Munich. Paulaner Oktoberfest Bier, which is brewed especially for Oktoberfest, will be the official beer for Oktoberfest Malaysia. So if you want to be as German as you can be, you know which way to go haha.  2. Taking a Oktoberfest mug home is against the law In Germany, police will be on the lookout for thieves stealing official Oktoberfest mugs (no I'm not kidding!). Whoever's caught can be fined up to 50 Euros! That's over RM200 and I don't think you want these people tackling you to the ground for stealing a mug haha. But good news for us here in Malaysia! Guinness Anchor Berhad (GAB) will be giving away special edition 1 liter Ceramic Oktoberfest Mug when you e
