travelling and food.....

I lurve food.....my obsession with food started way back. One time in school ,we were filling in this survey on healthy eating... one of the question was "kite hidup untuk makan atau makan untuk hidup?" I answered "hidup untuk makan". My family shares this obsession (especially my sister). We would watch food documentaries, or travel food shows on the documentary channel on astro and just look ( if only we can taste) at such glorious food around the world.

That is why, everytime I travel, I would make a point to eat the food that the country/ place is famous for...The ones I've had are

Spain: churros (deep fried pastry mkn with very thick chocolate drink..yummm..for breakfast) and paella

Italy: ice cream, fresh seafood ( we had ikan sebelah, swordfish, monkfish (best fish in d world!!! ..after ikan terubok of course)), pasta, pizza...

Bruges, Belgium: belgian chocolate, belgian waffles



Paris: ice cream... pastriess...


In London, I can never forget the hot thick chocolate drink sold on portobello road in winter... yummmyyyy.. and the pastries from Paul's especially the macaroons or the fish and chip from Mr Fish.

And there're also the simple homemade desserts , banana with homemade chocolate cadbury sauce, the simple yet delicious strawberry and cream, strawberry trifle with fresh custard and fresh cream... yess i lurve cream.. single cream or double cream.. they make great desserts

Bile dah balik nanti, all this will be hard to come by, less travelling, no more fresh cream, but I'm sure I'll be ok because there's always, mum's cooking, kuey teow at 'lah wan', Holmest in Tmn Tun , mamak stalls, roti canai, warong food.... ABC!!!!!... so yes....I will always have delicious food around me wherever I go.

Asa kucing vs mice...

It has been a while since my last entry.. This will be the moment you guys have been waiting for.. Hehe.. Ok, this time I will expose a bit of GOSSIP rumahtangga.. If I don't, Mak Miao aka Aiza will scold me for giving empty promises..

Ok, this is a bit dated.. Well, recently our house had guest(s) .. Guess who... (the answer is not Waq unfortunately)



Well, this one seems cuter than our real guests, nonetheless a good sample picture. And there wasn't just one mouse, there were several of them.. Initially they helped thenselves with food stored in the cabinet, an instant Lemang made by Adabi to be exact. I guess Adabi does make quality products..

You guys should see how TheWife squeeled when the mouse pekaboo'ed from behind the closet. Personally, I think the mouse was afraid of her, not the other way around.. The mice stayed underground as she rummaged and block the back of our cabinet with boxes. Weird old cabinet..it doesn't have a back...

Being a macho guy I am, I bought a mouse trap( actually it was after The Wife nagged me endlessly about it and wouldn't stop unless I 'GET IT RIGHT NOW!!!'), UK styled like you always see in Tom and Jerry and set it beside the refrigerator. I still remember in KMYS how I'm the only one in my chalet who always have to pick the stray frog which lost its way into the living room. Ah Beng always calls "Asa!~ Got new frog here". Strangely, a couple of days went by before the mice took the bait (a level 3 Full-Flavoured Mature Sainsbury's Basics cheese).

When the mice took the bait, at the same time one of its kin/anak/husband/maybe wife/sleeping partner/gay? found it's way into our rubbish bin. I had to laugh when The Wife asked "How can the mouse get into our house and into the rubbish bin? They can climb walls ke?". Not wanting to kill anymore than necessary, I took the rubbish bin and tried to set the mouse free in nearby park so that it can eat acorn? like its squirrel friends. Halfway along the way, the mouse jumped out startling me and scurried along the road. I hope it finds a new home somewhere else.

Later that night I heard a rustling noise in the rubbish bin... yerps.. it's another one or maybe the one that got away came back. Is our house infested with these creatures??!!!???? anyway... the trap was laid down again, and the mouse was not seen in the house ever since.

Probably we have to wait until the cheese bait becomes more mature...

disclaimer: this does not in anyway imply that The Wife did not clean the house regularly ( I need to state this if not abislaaaa kene marah...hehehehe.. and dier boycott tak nak kemas rumah dah)

this is funny

but yet so trueeee... in our case at least. peace mumu-chan!!

pecah masuk!!!

hehehe... yerps I am breaking an entry to my hubby's own blog. reasons???
1) because I am bored
2) My final 2 papers are in 10 days time.
3) asa is doing his project(hopefully..am tired of nagging him about it ) so it'll be days before he enters another entry

yerp yerp....now and then I will jot some annoying entry in this blog. hehehehhehe bleh yek asa bleh yek :). buhsan aaaa buhsan buhsan..... nak gi jalan!!!!!!!!!!!but have to kira2 ongkos since I have to pay rent for July ( thank God only for 2 weeks) and PAY for my graduation ceremony... YES PAY!!!!!LSE wants us to PAY for each guests and the photo packages is so NOT worth the money I am paying for it ( IF i plan to take it). I think I should find other photo shops that will offer a better deal... Any suggestions??? Mak wants me to take one photo of me alone,another with her and abah, and another with asa.. that's 3 photos.... aiyoooo kalau mak,abah and asa terus tak bleh ke... jimat duit.... hehehehehe sejak kawen ni extra berkira pulak because now I'm counting for 2 not 1.

Oh btw.. I am planning to see Cats the musical in Cardiff on June 24th.. ( I think or maybe it's the 22nd.. can't remember..) anyone wants to join??? am going to buy the tics as soon as my exams are over.. AND I am also planning to see Mary Poppins after the exams.... saper nak join???? tell me k... I doubt there's any cheap tics for Mary Popps.. but everyone says it's worth every penny... so do tell ok... and.. hmmmm wut else... I want to see Chicago but am not willing to pay full price so most likely after my exams (6June) will pop into the theatre to see if they have any student price tics for the day... anyone up for it????

Ok.... I think that's it... should be going home and do my revision.

Sleepy la...

Hehe...

First time blogging in my life ever! Might be interesting to see how it goes. I am a 'malas' person at heart, my friends in KMYS and back from MCKK can testify to that. Mr Azlan, our physic teacher, in which in every of his class I managed to catch up with my extra hour curicular activity. Kan Aiza kan..

Speaking of sleeping (my favourite pastime, well still is) I read somewhere that average human need 10 hours of sleep everyday. Hanging on to that fact, since I only get like 7 hours of sleep every day, the extra 3 hours needs to gain back somewhere. Conveniently, my lecture halls in IC now is so much cosier than back in the Physic lab.

I guess I don't have to use my bag as pillows now. Hehe..

Anyway, I will try update this blog now and then. Let's not forget that I have to finish up my final year project in like 3 weeks time. Haha, gambatte to me..
