BIG BREAK..... 2009

Finally.... after weeks of "planning" which I didnt do much except buying the air ticket.
I get to go for a "long" vacation........London . Paris. here I come...
It was a sudden decision. I couldnt make the decision to go for a long break during this time of the year. Being so tied up at work.. Gosh... Yes I need a break!!
Being so last minute to buy the air ticket. Yes.. I have made a lost of RM1K for not being able to buy the air ticket during promo period.
With GBP and EUR rising due to year end.... >...<|| sweat sweat.
Any way.. I hope to update my blog.. after this trip.. Yee haaa...

Cameron here I come..................

Cant wait to get out of KL...
Hectic and tiring day (on the eve of Labour day).
The "Worse day" in all of my days...
Sweat~~~

So Gay....

Gay... as in happy gay? or Gay gay?

Well... what I saw today was totally Gay gay!
I've always wanted to see a real Gay. I've been told that there is so many gay guys in KL that you wont even know it until... that moment.. Yup... U see them french kissing each other! Ugh.. hallo? What is so "in" with gay? What do u actually see in a guy being a guy yourself? Who is the "he" man and who is the "she" man??

I'm so speechless. Right in front of my very eyes as I walked out of Lot 10 main entrance. Gosh. Its kinda weird then again maybe I'm still not used to it.

Right now there is just so many things playing inside my mind. I mean I have seen both pretty and ugly "ah kua" before and I sort of understand why they like to dress us like gals...

I guess the world is turning upside down. The universe law has been altered and revolutionized during the process of evolution.

Let the Food... Hunt Begin...

Lai lai lai......
Time to talk about food...
Being MIA for so so so long.... find food mah...



Looks interesting ya?
Well.. this is the so called "indian abc"!
Ingredient... muahahah.. cendol + jagung + red bean + santan + glutinous rice!
Yeap u heard me right.. glutinous rice... sounds... weird.. but it taste nice~~
Ho JIak!! especially on a hot day.
I have to be early coz the special ingredient owez runs out very fast!
Location : by the roadside of housing area in Sri Petaling...


My story of Pan Mee is like this...
My 1st encounter with it was.... the traditional style of cooking.
Where the Pan Mee is cooked in soupy style...
1 word... SUCK!! .. hahaha...
Mayb bcoz the "Pan Mee" was half cooked. Tasted like flour instead of noodle.
Being very picky and choosy about food.... I definitely ban traditional style :P~
No offense ya.. hahaha

Lai... let me intro u the dry version. aka "Spicy Pan Mee"



Sum how the noodle texture here is just nice... like hand made?
The noodle itself is not oily. They use the porch egg to make it smooth.
HMmm... ppl here tend to use egg a lot in cooking..
Especially... half cook or uncooked egg.... ^^
I wonder what will happen? If taking too much uncooked egg... nahh.. dun wanna think bout it... :P~



For those who cant take spicy food u can actually decide how much chilli u wanna put. :P~
I like the pan mee here very much...
Shop Name: Super Kitchen...... (if not mistaken), they have a few more branch in Kepong,....
Location: Nearby Medan Tuanku Monorail station, right after the bus stop(b4 Tune Hotel) walk across the car park lot. U will find the shop there.


Another version of Pan Mee is the "Loh Pan Mee".
Basically u can find it at any Pan Mee specialized shop.
The gravy is like yin yong style.. Yes... egg play a role here.
Hahaha.. Like I said.. egg everywhere... ^^
You muz mix it with black vinegar! THis is what makes the gravy special.
Gosh I'm drooling already.. shall go have it this weekend.. Muahahhaa

As soon as I got home... my chubby cute nephew greeted me with excitement. Hmmmpp.... he has grown "chubbier" n older than before... Hiak.. getting so much naughty. He just wont let go off me. Luckily the weights at the gym did the trick else I wont be able to lift him up for a long while. Even my aunt complained. He's heavy... n she couldnt lift him up for very long. Hiak hiak..

Aha.... he saw me eating KOLO Mee... he wants some too. I bet he didnt realise there's chili... soon he started to ask for water... I really miss him.. so cute n chubby... hiak hiak..

I ordered laksa... weird it seems.... suddenly the urge for laksa is not there... Hmmmmpp.. I sort of lost my appetite n luv for laksa... mayb its due to the jet lag. I just ate it as to fill up my stomach. My mum luv the laksa. She has never tasted the laksa from this shop. Hiak...

Oocean~ 1st entry after MIA for 1mth.....

Muak muak..... Finally get to update my blog. Sitting down in Old Town White Coffee in Puchong with a glass of cold white coffee is really great! Weather in KL lately is rather hot. Almost everyday I can see the sun bleeding red blood... Yeah U heard me right.

1st n foremost.... hmmmmp... KL life... haha.... is a totally 360 degree change of environment for me. Working in the middle of the city is great! Shopping malls is just a walk away. However.... I barely step inside. The journey on the 1st few days to work was great. I barely tasted the emptiness of the public transport untill the announcement of the petrol hike. There goes my few good days.

Hmmm.. what I mean by 360 degree change? Haha... Well. from driving car 2 work back in Kuching. I now need to travel by LRT n monorail to work. Gosh I sure miss getting around with car at my own convenience.

2ndly... I...... miss my local food. Kuay chap, Kolo mee, Laksa(large juicy prawns)~~~~
Now.... I can only look at the picture n swallow hard my saliva. I'm still trying to get used to the food here. The only mee I take for the 1st 2 weeks here is mozly "kuay tiaw" cooked in different style. "Mee papan" or better known as "pan mee" being the local food here... is a big nite mare to me esp if it's "clear soup".

3rdly. I raise my white flag n surrender. I feel my body getting old and get tired easily now. Previously I always felt that sleeping 6hours per day is sufficient for me. This statement is no longer true to me. Sleeping 6hours per day for the past 1mth. Proof to be very tiring and almoz impossible 2 me. Is it me? or isit KL? I never face puffy eyes now my eye bag beginning to develop. Oh dear... I have to invest in my eyes... hahahahah...

Farewell ?? Eh no...its... Birthday

^^ I didn't expected it coming.
Thinking last nite dinner was the last gathering was a farewell dinner for me n Kenopi.

We had our dinner at Batu Lintang, seafood centre.
Guess what? We ordered crab! Yes crab. With huge claw. Fried with egg. Just the way I want it to be. Hiak.



The crab was satisfying enough. Hmmmpp a bit salty though.

Now now... the moment to reveal it all..... Ever wonder why my blog title is

Oocean ocean or Oocean Orh... Jien?


..........
.......
....
..
.























The meaning of Orh Jien in hokkien is Fried oyster. In Kuching, almoz anywhere that sells seafood have this dish. This is a muz order food if you come to Kuching. You will be given a small bowl of dark vinegar with pepper for dipping.

The meaning of Ocean is of coz. Just ocean. :P

The word "Oocean" if pronounce differently have different meaning.. hahah..





Oopss.. I hv side tracked a bit liaw...

After dinner. Next station was Senso, Hilton.
And so..... this is where I found out the real agenda.
Some one ..ho.... asked me 2 go inside Senso 1st and find seating area.
Finally after much waiting. Then that some 1 came in with a birthday cake.
Hmmmpp... Oren sure did plan it well. I didn't see it coming.
After all my birthday is still weeks away. Hiak.
It was a real surprise though. Thanks guys~

Ordering what kind of drinks sure is a headache. Hiak. A few of my friends never went to Senso before... Hiak.. hiak.. {naughty}


anything to recommend? I don't want to get tipsy*


Too bad our seating area was far away frm the stage.
Hmmpp.. next time should bring our own card to play hiak.
Den we all can.... participate and play.

The live band turn out very poor. We all miss the previous singer. We can barely hear the voice of the singer. Only echoes all the way. Hahaha.. the funny thing was. They didn't synchronize the birthday song with the birthday cake. I.... guess thats it.. Ban Senso? Hahaha...




The moment of truth came. Aww.. awww awww.... Feeling older.
Tiramisu cheese cake. Sob sobbb sobbbbb..... Thks guys....

And of coz. Our usual play was to get the birthday person to take out the candles from the cakes using mouth n no hand. >.<>



Pulling out the candles with my mouth only.



MUahahaha... feeling tipsy n double vision. Hiak.. Juz joking. :P


The ordeal didn't ended here... They got me.... something i least expected.
{Taz taz taz}



>>.....<<||
Lei tei ho yeah... I sure remember u guys.
Thank you guys... Gonna miss ya all...

Ban Deep Fried Crab

Say NO to Deep Fried Crab !!
Big No No!
Just when you r craving for something to die for. Do not be tempted with the fancy name the cook come up with. Well I learned my lesson well.

oren : How much per kg?
cook: RM35
cook: How you wanna cook ur crab? Sweet n sour, ginger n chilli, fried egg, steam, salted duck egg...bla bla bla..
oocean + oren : {eye blink blink. Thinking salted duck egg} Nodding to each other. Salted duck egg!
cook: How many crab?
oocean + oren : {Thinking. 1 each or 1 kg} Ok. 1 kg then.


Then we made a phone call to our kaki" crab meat. We even drag BB out from her pajama to join us for the crab craving session. BB flew from home n reached in 10mins. As we promised the crab will be ready cook by the time she arrives. EEwwww..... kenak tipu


After the long waiting. 5mins. 10mins. 15mins. 20mins... Dying......


Almoz 9pm. No dinner served! Taz taz! 2 of us kept looking around to see whether our crab make it out of the kitchen? Still no sign...

Finally.........




Soon... WTF. Our crab is as hard as stone. As I savor the crab. I'm getting grumpier than ever.
I cant taste the crab at all. Although the crab looked tempting n is marinated with salted egg coating. Not being able to taste the actual texture of the crab is getting on my nerves.

Why? Crab meat are mean to be eaten when the flesh is juicy n not overcooked.
Curse the cook for coming up with the idea of Deep Fried Crab! Blame myself for not asking!
There goes my crab!

Lesson learned. Not to assume! Although it may be irritating n stupid to ask.Still. Getting an accurate answer from the source is crucial.

~Farewell Lunch~

Today. We had our farewell lunch for me with my colleagues at Kluang.

With my mind blank not knowing what to talk about. Thinking its gonna be a sombre occasion turn out otherwise.

With a group of 8 we seated and changed table twice. Which must have got the waiters jumping mad. Hahaha... Even the order went wrong. Too many ppl ordering this n that. They left out the one n only dish, my ayam masak merah". Anyway, I shared the rendang with Lucy. Which she enjoyed so much.

It was like a family dinner. We shared this and that n tasted others drink. I guesss... I must have got every1.. spiced up the whole aftn with the spicy rendang in their tummy.. Hiak... We even end up in Ta Kiong supermarket hunting for drinks. It was really fun afta all its a Friday lunch.

Dearest Lucy even wrote me sth nice which I'm gonna cherish n missed them all.

"...Today 8 of us went to Kluang Station, the Spring for lunch. It’s my
first time dining at Kluang though. Rendang beef and the drink called
‘Cham’ were the most popular items. And yes, I enjoyed the Rendang Beef
very much. It has enough spices ingredients and it’s spicy enough. Taste
so real and original. The portion is enough for 2 person and it’s worth
the price.
I guess most of us hadnt tasted many other dishes before, so we were
happy to share among ourselves. She gave him a spoonful, then she gave
another her a portion, then he gave her and another her bits pieces,
then he asked another him to taste, and another she asked around to
taste her dishes, etc etc, this kinda thing. Not bad. We’re all very
generous and love to share after all. Oh! Another she even shared, eh...
no. EXCHANGED her drink to another her! Oh wow. How clingy!
I suppose it was a great gathering to be together once in a while. After
all, Jaja will leave us soon. The atmosphere wasnt sombre at all as I
thought might be. It turned out to be great. Dodo still has her sore
throat. And she didnt manage to eat much. Poor her. Hope that cooling
lime drink soothed her throat.
We had a brief stop and shop at Ta Kiong. Main purpose was hunting for
mineral water but I guess, end up the Prune Juice was the most popular
item we bought. It’s off a few ringgits and I think it’s worth to buy.
Oh ya. I like our dresses today. Every girl in different patterns and
that’s unique. It was suppose to be a farewell lunch but I actually had
some ‘Soul, mind and brain destressing’ time off from our work Try not
to think much about the farewell. It's part of a life's things. Just
wish her all the best in life..."

In a moment like this.. I can feel tears running down my eyes... n my heart even sad.

Yeap. This is life. Steping into the future n not fogetting the pass. I'll owez remember u all and keep in touch when I'm back.

~Missing in Action~

>__<
Can hear my friends saying. "Eh I visited ur blog..But u din update leh!"

Yeah... I've been MIA for a long time...
Busy with travelling here n there .Hiak... n yeap...
Preparing to move to KL. Packing n packing.

At 1st this sounds like.. amazing. Wahhh leaving meow meow city.
My story n new journey abt to begin.

Then agn. I'm gonna miss all my friends in Kuching.

17 Mac (Detox Day)

WHY of all the thing....
Today is Detox Day~~

Reason is ... Lately I've eaten too much guilty foods including frequent visits to all the eatery in Spring ^^

My colleague has recently done so, which inspired me n Oren. Well..... xtually it is because of another reason lah..... Let u all know later... hahah

Nevertheless DETOX once a month is good for our body according to a source in the newspaper article. Oh yes... you can use what ever modern n easy method available....
1st thing that rings into my mind is... ^^ detox tea (SOD)... hehehe... Or even any health product available on the market ie. Melilea.... sth sth... for instance

R u thinking the same too? Hiak hiak..

WHey... hold on... dont go too fast~~
The real method of DETOX is... eating green apples. Yes u heard me right.
We should not consume food containing salt, sugar, meat, rice.... ^^
U can drink plain water all you want~~
Bite or chew a green apple whenever u feel hungry.
This must continue for a minimum of 3days ^^

As our body system becomes sluggish and full of toxins, we tend to get all sorts of illness and fat fat lemak around our body, tummy >.<
Even if u go to gym or aerobics also useless as the lemak piles up again after you eat ^^

Day 1 Detox
>.< I xtually broke the rule arhhhh....
Breakfast - 1 green apple
Lunch - Salad with NO dressing + 1 green apple
Tea - Ribena drink - reason (I'm going for 2 session exercise)
Dinner - 99.7% fat free tasteless, plain yogurt + 1 green apple
.....
....
...
..
.


Normally I have the impression that I cant survive without meat and carb~ As thought meat is my life. Today prove my statement wrong. Haha.. Reason being, I will go "neng kar" n floating on air. Eh I can still tahan wohh... Until finished today's 2 session exercise class ^^

Our today's temptation was chicken Broasters at Chicago 7. Imagine me n oren sitting there.. eating just salad! Seeing everyone else ordering fries and Brosters. Man its was suffering, but then... maybe too hungry.. even the salad taste nice and our craving gone.

Now... Day 2 will be tomorrow... so see how long me n Oren going to last...
Gulp. Hungry~~~

Human Traffic ... o.O

Below is a pedestrian crossing at Bugis Street.
When the light is green, you can see many people crossing the street.



Hey... its red already. Ooops... the pedestrians will have to wait in the middle of the zebra crossing/traffic light.



One big problem with this kind of zebra crossing...
What if a kid just ran out of the road?
Or even someone got pushed out of the waiting line as its very packed.

Erm... Since pedestrian hv bigger priority than motorist, the motorist will have to stop!
However, accidents do happen and its somebody's fault obviously... ^^

Siloso Beach -

The siloso man made beach is quite amazing. Clean sand and blue water... Yeah like Oren said...
U cant get it at aherm ahermm.....



As it was rather hot in the noon... we decided to come back later around 4 something in the afternoon. Hiak hiak.. U know.... "puteri lilin" dun wanna get dark.
And the outcome is below...... >>..<<


Urhhh urmmm..... We manage to see the sun set though... and its not that hot liaw.. by that time... However not long after that there were black clouds surrounding the us... >..<
Sigh sigh...


A picture worth a thousands words~~
