I think it’s been weeks since my last post on something emotional… guess when you are too free… you tend to think a lot… a lot of negative thoughts will crawl into your brain automatically…

Hmm….. where should I start? *sigh* too many things in my mind now… don’t know what to do, how to proceed, how to make my own dream come true, etc…

I was never a happy-go-lucky person… I should say I’m a negative person… well… I tried to throw away the negative thoughts… I do… I think everyone will have their own down time once in awhile… as long as you know when you should get up from the down side…

I have a friend… we were once very close when we were in UNI… as there was some incidents happened, she became a different person.. acted differently… so we stopped contacting each other… well… that’s not important anymore… we chatted in msn lately… and she asked about me for what happened to me over the years(basically we haven’t talk for at least 2 years)… erm…. that time I was quite emo… so she told me ” Ivy, you are a very independent person. You always show people the strong you but deep down inside you are not. You just need to clear off your mind and do what you think is right. ”

If you ask me, I never thought to be a very independent person. I’m just a simple girl hoping to go through a simple life. I forced myself to be strong and independent since young because I have no choice. Ever since dad passed away, things have never been easy. *sigh*… I’m thinking of the past again.. which I shouldn’t ….

Back to my emo thoughts on this Sunday afternoon…

Yesterday night I went for movie ~ Salt… it was supposed to be a very good night.. and it was great until I got phone calls in the middle of the show. As I don’t have the phone number in my phone list, I just ignored it. Well… of course you will ignore it especially you are in a movie. After 3 missed calls… I received a sms. I didn’t check it till the show ended.

It was totally a big turned off… I was asked to follow up on my work.. on a Saturday night… and must respond to the person asap. I was like “WTF! It’s Saturday. and even if I really need to check or ask, I can only do so on Monday cuz Sunday all the offices are closed”…

Ya ya… I know work is like that. but because of this I didn’t sleep till 2am… not to say I’m settling my job stuff… but too many things caught in my mind… this incident really made me think a lot…

A lot like what I really want in my life… Ok… basically I know what I want… just that I didn’t make a move on persuing it…

When I’m motivated, I will be very excited to do what I wanted to … but the next day… I will slow down the pace… is like I’m going back to my own comfort zone… many people also like that… rather stay in their comfort zone and don’t move on….

It’s bad… I know. I shouldn’t be. *sigh*

Many times, we thought of what we want and dreamt about it day and might… but when it comes to the real situation, things might be different… it might be the other way round of what we thought…

*sigh*… I’m talking crap whole day d… alright .. time to cut it off. Got to find back the spirit. Tomorrow will be another busy day.

Ok… got to go jogging with mom now!

The easiest and the only food I know how to cook other than instant noodle is spaghetti! I’m a spaghetti lover and you  cannot find any shop selling this homecook spaghetti

Let Chef Ivy teach you how to cook spaghetti today!

Ingredients needed are actually based on what you want to put in your spaghetti… meat, prawn, fish, seafood, vegetarian, etc… is all depends on you.

But for me… I would normaly have mix vege and minced meat…

Alright, ingredient of today ~ this portion suitable for 4 adults:

- Spaghetti noodle ~ Angel Hair ( The best of all because it wasn’t too “fat” and it’s easy to cook)

- Butter ( enough to mix with the Angel Hair spaghetti)

- Cheedar cheese ( Any brand of cheesar cheese 3-4 pieces….cheaper compare to parmesan cheese)

- Capsicum x 1 medium size

- Tomatoes x 3 medium size (not too ripe because it won’t taste nice)

- Garlic ( to taste)

- Onion ( to taste)

- Celery

- Mushroom ( I prefer button mushroom.. but if don’t have, then can use normal chinese mushroom to replace it)

- Minced meat ( You can buy it directly from the pork stall. But that is not that hygeine. You can buy a piece of meat and chopped it into fine pieces…. but I forgot to buy minced meat.. so I use sausage and ham to replace it today…. )

- 250ml tomato sauce

- 300ml spaghetti sauce

- 1 table spoon of cooking oil

- a pinch of salt ( to taste )

The usual brand of Angel Hair you can get from the hypermarket is this:

>> Depends on the portion the adults want… I used almost half packet for 4 adults

>> The big bottle is the spaghetti sauce… use half of is which is almost 300ml…. and you need to mix it with 1 medium tin tomato sauce…

First, we prepare the spaghetti noodle… prepare a pot of water… pour in the cooking oil and salt… when the water boiled, put in the spaghetti noodle ~ Angel hair.. the Angel hair will cook in 2-3 minutes…

Get ready your butter… I used up 1/3 of the whole butter cup

When the Angel Hair is done, drain the water off and pour the noodle into the butter…..you do not have to melt the butter because the Angel hair still hot when you pour it into the butter…. mix it well and you got this:

You will see that the noodle will not has a smooth texture before you mix it with the butter. It will be in a sticky form which does not looks tasty anymore

In between the time of cooking the noodle, you can start to cut your vege and minced meat into small pieces….

Chopped capsicum and tomatoes:

Chopped celery:

Chopped mushroom:

Chopped onion and garlic:

Sausages and ham cut into small cubes:

Cheedar cheese-to-let-it-thaw which is easier for your cooking later:

Once everything is done, you can start your cooking on the spaghetti sauce:

First, heat up the cooking oil. Once it was heated enough, add in the chopped garlic and onion. Stir fried it till you smell pungent smell:

After that, add in minced meat … since I don’t use minced meat today… I will skip this step and pour in spaghetti sauce and tomato sauce…. add in enough water ….

Then add in all the other ingredient: celery, capsicum, tomatoes, mushroom, ham and sausages…

Let the sauce boil and add the cheedar cheese on top of the sauce:

Once the sauce boiled, it will melts the cheedar cheese… so you just have to stir fry the sauce slightly…

And that’s it! Tada! There goes your spaghetti sauce!

You can add in pepper if you like… for me I definitely love it!

Hope you enjoy this meal introduce by Chef Ivy! Till then, I hope I can share more on homecook food soon!

Gosh! Not to be rude, but I really met such person… he is normal… but the action he did was totally like a person with mental illness!

This morning when I’m on my way to work, I met this person. He was driving a motor in the middle of a car lane. I tried to overtake him because there wasn’t any car in front of me and there was another car on the land besides mine ( it was a double lane road)…

This very clever motorist… drove in the middle of the road… I didn’t honk him to let me pass thru.. I just flash him awhile with my high light… yet he still drove in the middle of the road…. argh!!!

So when I got chance to overtake him… I changed my gear ( Today I drove my sis auto car… so have to use low gear in order to go up the hill)… then I changed to the wrong gear! I put “N” and at the same time I peddled on the gas…. so it created the “broom” sound… I didn’t do it on purpose ok?!

That motorist thought I challenged him… he slowed down.. I overtook him.. he was mumbling… fine… everything was cool…. but I got caught up with the traffic in front so I have to slow down… that motorist overtook me and drove pass already…

Then I saw him in front… Turned out, the motorist stopped by the roadside to pick up a small rock…. and when he saw my car he drove out.. showing off the small rock… and show with hand sign saying that he will throw the rock to my car =_______=|||

It doesn’t cross my mind that someone will actually purposely stopped down and pick up a rock just to scared someone else!!! WTF! What, you are living in a jungle a? I have did something hurtful to you meh? Why you must acted in such a way?
Luckily he didn’t throw the rock to my sis car lor… if he did and it smashes my sister’s car’s windscreen, I’m going to curse him.. curse him to death.. curse till his family…

Ok.. I’m a bit rude now…. GOD you know I don’t mean it.. but I was just saying that because I was damn pissed off lo. How can someone acted in such way?

Oh ya, by the way, I don’t mean to be racist, but he is a malay!!!

Everyday I heard of road bullies… people took batton to beat other’s when they were challenged… but this… this is just a small matter… and those being challenged were youngsters… this was just a middle age guy…

Never have I seen or met such a petty guy… argh!!!!! Geram nia!

and luckily yesterday I got a sweet sms that enlightened me… that at least cheered me up a bit

I was invited to Chiew Hoong’s by the beach wedding… I have never been to a beach wedding… so I’m very excited on the wedding day itself….

Anyway, I went to do my nail on the afternoon…

My hairdo of the night:

We reached Flamingo Hotel around 7pm… there were already lots of guests there ….

The registration counter:

Chiew Hoong’s registration counter has their wedding pictures backdrop… the pictures taken were really beautiful and cute….

The whole dinner area:

Our table: 20…

Me by the beach:

The wedding reception was amazing! The bride and bridegroom came with a jetsky… damn cool lo… and they wore casual beach wear..without shoe somemore….. so cute:

There was a stage in the middle of the dining area….and the live band of the night actually played in Audee’s restaurant before that:

>> Oh ya! Chiew Hoong’s husband ~ Audee is the owner of Audee’s restaurant…

Check out the bride-of-the-night:

>> The bride pretty ler? She very cute one… she got very deep dimple one whenever she talks and smile

Met some high school friends… I haven’t seen them ever since high school… thanks to Facebook now we are connected to each other…lol…

Check out all the pretty babes:

Last but not least… I got thrown into the sea by the second pretty babes from right… all wet and Philip somemore jokingly said that he don’t want to fetch me home….. =____=||| Thanks to you Amanda… I’m gona remember you

My colleague recommended me to Chicago… which was newly opened in Gurney… she said the pork ribs there very nice…. So I suggested to Lam that we celebrate Sher’s birthday there…

I made an early reservation cuz we went on Saturday… don’t want to wait outside for too long… we had an early celebration for Sher as we are not able to celebrate with her on her actual birth date because Sher & I have a wedding to attend … and Lam not able to back to Penang on Sher actual birth date as well….

Did my nails before that:

Shinning ler? lol…

My camwhore picture before the dinner first:

OK… back to Chicago Restaurant…

I thought that the portion of the food will be quite big…. but turned out… so small….unlike TGI Friday or Chillis… *sigh*…..

We ordered 2 main course to share between the 3 of us….

1. Grilled salmon with vege & rice:

>> The salmon was not really that nice… too dried… and the portion was quite small also lor…

 
2. St Louis Pork Ribs

>> The pork ribs was indeed very nice and juicy… but the portion was damn small again… sien… I told my colleague about it… I said ours got 4 pork ribs only… which is the half rack order…. but then everytime she went got 6 pork ribs which is the correct order of half rack… =____=||| don’t know is it because it was Saturday so they make the portion smaller… sad… so not worth it!

I ordered free flow of orange juice….

Pictures of ours:

We went to buy Sher’s birthday present then went home after that….Got her a Santa Barbara’s bag

Happy birthday Sher! Muaks! May you always be blessed with the best wishes of the world

Sister was so into sing k… she asked me to go sing k with her…. and since Neway Queesbay was just newly opened… I booked there for our session last Monday (it was a replacement Public Holiday for Penang )

It was a normal weekdays…. so the rate is 9.80++

which included the free salad buffet…

The room was quite big (forgot to snap pic on the whole room).. only has the nice design with bamboo theme:

I didn’t know that there was a salad bar besides our room… till I recalled got the salad buffet… so I went to kaypo…

The mushroom soup was nice… the salad also nice… quite worth it lor… hehheehe….

But the main course wasn’t nice at all…. sister ordered a duno-what-chicken rice… she said it was not nice…

I ordered a Japanese style noodle soup… erm… totally just a clear soup noodle:

My sister very geng one a… somemore can sing Pussycat ~ Hush Hush… see her in action:

Well… the salad buffet was quite worth it….compared to the main course…. but total billed was RM 22+… sister said quite worth it… well… to me it’s alright la… but the duration was quite short lor… we reached at 11am… can sing till 1.15pm nia…and they cut off our time 1.10pm! Damn! Knn!

To end this post… some camwhore pic of me:

I have once again bling some of my stuff… this time I have added decoden on them… lol. but I don’t dare to bling my new handphone anymore… scared later it got angry then don’t want to work anymore then I really headache again….

This time I added bling + decoden to 3 things ~ A mirror (for a friend’s wedding), a name card holder (still thinking who to give) and a Nokia handphone cover (for sister’s handphone)…

Let the pictures do the talking:

1. Bling with purple theme’s bling + decoden

2. Name card holder:

3. Nokia handphone cover:

My blinging skills got better already right? lol…. check out my first bling on my handphone, comb, mirror and car key.

On the other hand, Darren’s babysitter’s daughter invited sister and family to her wedding. Definitely Darren was invited as well. Sister bought a nice tuxedo for him. Look at his handsome look:

Finally the long awaits movie is finally in town!! Yipee~! So happy that sister accompany me to the movie… well… few months back I was anticipating to watch this movie with someone else… ahem… it’s alright. I got my sister!

I got to say I’m a bit kiasu… I reached QB at 10.30am and first thing to do is to get my movie ticket! Gosh… there were few people lining up already… and when it was finally our turn… the cinema hall itself wasn’t empty.. Almost half of the seats were taken up… wtf!

But I still got the nice middle seat from A row… heheehe… happy!

Ok.. back to the movie… definitely no spoilers from me.. lol…

All I want to say.. the story goes according to the book… so… if you have read the books… you will know the flow… not much of excitement… but… if you watch in Malaysia.. which is where I watched it… totally sien lor… cuz from the movie started till the end I think have countless of times of sensorship in this movie… I also don’t know why they sensored the show in most of it… got one I know.. when Riley-the-bad-vampire (Xavier Samuel) said “F**K You!” to Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson).. that should be sensored.. totally understand.. but the rest… like suddenly cut off lo.. totally no Ohmm d… sien…

Oh … this episod don’t have much intimacy scene for Bella and Edward… most of it is the-plan-to-kill part… and they even missed out the part where the werewolfs will smell the vampires scent just to make sure they don’t kill the wrong vampires when in the killing…

Erm… obviously 2 hours is not enough to present the whole story out of the story book… so… everything moves very fast… that also explains why everything was sensored… sien also…

All I can say… I’m anticipating for the last part of the book ~ Breaking Dawn to be on the screen… and that will takes at least 2 years… *sigh*… so long… I wonder how will they make it interesting…

So… If you have watched Episod 1 & 2… this is a must watch show… If you haven’t… just go check it out online then go watch the show la
