Ceylon tea

This is NOT a postcard! :D

I was so cheeky at the tea shop somewhere in Cameron Highlands last time, as they had tiny packs of assorted teas with various flavors, which I can’t get from normal supermarkets here. I mean, in supermarkets.. yes they have this BOH Songket tea but each flavor sold in a box of 25 teabags, while my main interest is only to taste each and every flavor, and I have been looking for exactly packaging like this Ceylon tea, with yay- many different flavors I can go crazily experimenting their taste! :D Well, Ceylon tea is from Sri Lanka, obviously, and I’m just in love with its taste.. I have tried strawberry (strong!), blueberry (nice!), melon (very nice!) and now…. ummmm… guess what I am having? ;)

Mango tea! Hmm.. wait *slurrpp* ahhh.. it tastes like, well, mango of course :P I mean, it’s not really strong, just a nice mango sense and I love this warm feeling it gives me in this quiet evening :)

Until my next tea flavor review!

Hey hey

Haha. Why am I so busy?

Many many things. I don’t know where to start.

Fell into argument with that person again. After the so-called neat friendship. Haih. I thought he could be a friend afterall. Well even the most wonderful men could be jerk at times. I understand his situation. But I am now too tired. I have my own problems to settle.

Applied for postgraduate studies in UKM and USM. Online first, then still have to fill up manual papers and get referees, mail them.

Hmm.. are you asking me why I want to go for masters degree?

1- I want to get a life.

2- I want to be a smart-ass. HAHA.

3- I want to get busy.

4- I want to get a new boyfriend. Smart-ass boyfriend. HAHAHA.

Though above reasons may not be useful if the lecturers ask me when I need their reference soon. Hmm I have to think a few decent reasons for this purpose.

1- I want to expand my knowledge and do more research on this field of broadband, information security and space technology.

2- I want to be more acceptable in the job market as a higher level professional.

3- I want to contribute to the university as part of the research team.

Okay. And the deadline for UKM is 16 February!! I don’t know about USM though. Not me, they did not mention it in the website. I called UKM today to ask about the confusion in the online form, only to realize myself that in KL they’re having Thaipusam holiday today. HAPPY THAIPUSAM to all of you!!! :D Hahahaha.

Hmm what else. I have continued sending postcards as usual. Haha. Mama can’t stop me now coz she knows I don’t have anything else to do.

Oh, I went to an interview for some software support position in a company here. But they want to hire permanent staff only. Meaning very long term. And working on Saturdays also. Hehe. I said I’ll call them again after I think about it. But it seems I will not again.

I have like 3 months to waste now before (hopefully) get my ass back to the university. I can’t wait.

I am considerably happy.

Satay Malaysia

Despite that we already had satay treat in open houses during hari raya, the night before I came back to KL we still went to dinner out at Satay Malaysia restaurant for some more decent satay dose.

Satay Malaysia

Satay Malaysia

What is so special about Satay Malaysia? (yes, it’s named like that, so unoriginal one kan?) so they say it has among the best satay in Kelantan, or at least in Kota Bharu. This restaurant is located in Jalan Pengkalan Chepa, years ago it used to be some open air stalls-with-tables kind of eating place, but perhaps upon popularity and increasing customers they’re now located in a decent restaurant building, and still has some open-air dining space. Umm so comparing from other local satay restaurants here or from pasar malam ones, okay lah, can be said tastier. BUT going there during everyone overfilling Kota Bharu town during festive season doesn’t seem a good idea, unless you don’t mind waiting one hour before being served.

Soup for lazy people

sup

Everyone has gone for kenduri today so I had to have something for the night meal. I made this soup with oyster mushroom. Put one beef seasoning cube (Tesco brand, which I bought yesterday) into boiled water and a little salt. Done. A great 2 minute soup, especially when you’re not bothered to cook a proper meal. Ado used to make this same lazy soup, which we ate with Domino’s pizzas. Oh now I miss Domino’s, too bad we don’t have it here in KB.

Hmm. I know this looks like a clever excuse for me to talk about Ado. But no, really, I was meaning to talk about the soup. But okay, I also have a few things to write about Ado, apart from the soup I had with Ado.

It started last month actually but I didn’t want to talk about it earlier as I was too sad. I know he’s busy but he could have called me, so I wouldn’t waste my time waiting and hoping for nothing (hell I knew I shouldn’t, but still..) and how you feel if your 3 sms being ignored just like that?? I can’t even see him as a friend with that attitude, let alone a boyfriend. Bleh! My next boyfriend should be someone who’s not too busy and still have time to call me especially when I really need him to!

Hence my turn to ignore his sms last time, and 2 days ago he called me (I know he only bothers to call when he has a favor to ask – like phone software or something), which I ignored, too. Though I was actually dying to hear his voice, but wth, even I can have that ego. And I sent him short message telling him not to sms and call me again.

I know he doesn’t think I was serious when I said that, and last night we started this nice arguments when he started asking “Why? What happened? etc”.. Oh, so you’re surprised? I told everything I have been meaning to tell. OK, I know I shouldn’t expect him to be free on a particular day, but all I was upset about was for him not responding to my messages when I was urgently expecting! And I am not surprised when he never apologizes, rather tries his best to give so many clever reasons that somehow make it turns to look like I was the one who’s wrong afterall. Alright, alright, go and live with your reasons now. I no longer care. And I was positive that I don’t want to have a friend like him.

Geez, and he asks “is this the way you ‘break’ nicely?” and sounds like it’s my blame for the breakup that I wanted and now I am complaining this and that. Diss the breakup. I see nothing much difference before or after the so-called breakup. He’s still being nice at times, and turns to be jerk at other times. Still the same as before. The only difference to me is that I have managed to tell myself not to contact him often anymore. And it works (and I am happy about it). Now I really don’t know even I want to keep in touch with him, so forget the idea to reunite again as lovers (or whatever) in the future. I will not be back to him even though it was me to broke it last time (and it wasn’t because I really wanted to!*sigh*), unless it’s him who will try to make us together again one day. Why, I think I have done my part, now his turn. If he can’t figure out how and when, then he’s definitely a useless man I dont want to waste my time hoping for.

San Remo Mushroom instant pasta

Ismah recommends me this San Remo instant pasta, so today when I went to Tesco I got myself two packets of different flavors: Mushroom & Herbs and Macaroni Cheese. I love both two I can’t decide which to try first! But but I guess I gotta try out the Mushroom first :) It’s very easy to serve: mix with water and milk, some butter, microwave cook for 8 minutes and see.. you have magically trasnformed this packet content into a real YUMMY thing!! The taste is oh so creamy and tasty, though I am sure it would be tastier with extra mushroom but nevermind this is the first trial only. Will add extra mushroom next time. What is better yet, it’s served hot with a glass of cool chocolate milkshake of my recipe: cocoa powder, low fat milk, some ice cubes and a little sugar blended until smooth. Again the taste is super SLLLUURP! What a delicious day!    \_(^o^)_/
