My favorite poem - How do I love thee?

I first read this from a book in 2003. I always thought that it is only 3 lines long. Now I finally read the whole poem.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints –
I love thee with the breath, smiles, tears, of all my life! – and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death.

小妹妹: 你今天好漂亮!
大姐姐: 只是打扮了一下。你如果打扮起来也会很漂亮。不过最重要还是要心快乐哦。

How true.

My lazy Sunday morning..

Had cravings for dukbokgi ie Korean spicy ricecake for a while. Finally bought it last night at NTUC while shopping for milk for my morning coffee.

This morning I woke up and start googling for dukbokgi recipes. After reading from different sources I decided on this. My make do dukbokgi. (Bcos I was too lazy to buy fishcakes and not a big fan of cabbages. I just used what I can find in the fridge.)

Being a big fan of Korean food, I will definitely have the red pepper paste and sea weed for adding in the soup. I normally use bonita flakes to make stock but the fridge was too messy and I was to lazy to search for it so I used a handful of my mum's tiny silverfish aka ikan bilies and a handful of Korean dried sea weed to make stock. The correct sea weed to use for makg stock shld be something call kelp which is a long big piece of dried seaweed which is thicker than those that we find in miso soup. But well, this is a make do dish so I will just make do with what I can find in the fridge. After boiling the fishies n seaweed for 20 mins in 2.5 cup water I started adding more water because it looks like not enough stock. I added a total of 1.5 cups. Opps! It was already too late when I realised it was too much. So I just let it boiled for a while more then let it sit for 15mins before removing the fishies and seaweed.

Meanwhile, I had soaked the 300g of CJ ricecake for an hour, blanched them for about 2mins till they float instead of sink. Remove them from the hot water and soak them in cold water.

I added 2 tablespoon of red pepper paste for spicyness, 1 table spoon of sugar for sweetness and half a table spoon of fermented korean bean paste for saltiness into the stock. Stir until well dissolved and starting to boil then add in the meatballs (replacement for korean fishcake) and the ricecake as well as 1garlic. Wait for it to boil then add in the 8 portobella mushrooms(replacement for cabbage). I added a dash of chilie flakes that I had from my last pizza delivery. Let it boil for a while more then turn down the heat to let it simmer for 15mins. The sauce will thicken then and I added half a tablespoon of sesame oil for the aroma and it's time to eat.


Must say the mushroom surprised me as it was juicy with the mushroomy taste still intact and the ricecake was cook just right. Chewy and not to soft. Yum. I will make this again!

2D2N Roadtrip to KL 19-20 July 12

Right. After 3 weeks, finally transfered all the picts from my HTC Desire to my S3.

It was a sunny morning. While taking this picture a off-duty officer walked past and said '不能拍照'. =[


We spent less than an hour to clear the customs and arrived at Larkin Bus Terminal at 10.20am. Bought the bus ticket for 10.30am at RM 34 from one of the seller waiting outside our bus. (Note to self: Buy from the counter and choose more trustworthy company.) Our bus finally depart after 11 when it is more than half full and reach KL bus terminal at 3.30pm after a 25mins lunch break.

We took the KLM to Subang Jaya station (RM2.80) then bus to Sunway Pyramid.


We finally reached at 5.30pm after almost 10hrs later. First stop, Papa Rich for dinner. Yummy curry noodles and white coffee! Made the journey even more worthwhile. Then it was shopping time! We spent 3hrs in 2 shops and were couple hundreds poorer.

Took a cab(RM35 with toll) to The Courtyard Boutique hotel at Bukit Bintang area.

Reviews for this hotel: Been there, done that, won't be back. Not suitable for light sleeper and bring your own bedroom slippers. Suitable for foodaholics as the next street is the famous food street and good for those who like simple east meet west hotel rooms. Location wise, good enough.


Woke up next morning with severel wake up calls from the neighbourhood. Check out and went to Bukit Bintang for breakfast. Satisfied one of my cravings with these yam balls. Open at 10.30am instead of 10am. I think it's at Sungei Wang Shopping Mall.


After that is to Fahrenheit for shoes shopping! And we booked an appointment with the Saloon at 3.30pm. Went over to Pavilion for my favourite cafe! Very pricey coffee but it's ohsogood!!


Went to the foodcourt at Lot 10 for local delights before and after the hair processing sessions. The prices are pretty steep but no complains as we are paying for the rental and aircon as well.


After which we train to KL Sentral and walked to the interstate train station. Since it was still early, we went over to the nearby hotel to rest and prepare for the overnight train (RM38) back to Woodlands. The train was delayed for almost an hour, departing at 11.30pm and finally reached Woodlands Checkpoint at 7am.


It's so good to be staying a few stops away!
