MOM

Today I got a surprise from someone...

As I looked through my messengers' off-line messages, I noticed one that pretty much interests me. There is an ID which says : Hi Molly :)

The ID was 'Queen'

It looks like this

Looking at the email ID carefully, Queen was my MOM!!!
Surprise surprise.. She used to tell me she's interested to create an account just to chat.. But I never thought she's serious, lol. Anyway, glad to add you mom! :)

Sakima.

This is a kind of chinese snack made famous.

I do not know where the name comes from cus it doesnt sound chinese at all... but as long as it's tasty, it doesnt matter :)

Its called Kim Heong
In chinese it literally means 'smelling nice'

Two days ago, my colleague handed over a packet of Sakima to me. I found it quite interesting because I normally see sakima in a different form, more like semi-crunchy bits sticking together by a type of edible glueiy liquid that gets 2 pieces of food chunks together, and it hardens when its dry under room temperature.

In this packet of Sakima, it rather looks like a round puff.
Interesting isnt it?

You can see bits and pieces of the 'shell...
its very crunchy even after i left it there for like 3 minutes

An up-closed shot I took :)

Ming Tein Food Court

Here you are :)

As promised, I posted some pictures up.. Not sure if they satisfy your eyes, maybe you have very high quality eyesight that you may spot some flaw :D

But please forgive me. Im a learner too. Everyone is, inn'it?

Won Ton Noodle. Colorful :)

Sarawak Kolo Mee (their famous local noodle)

Here is the menu. Seems to have a lot of add-ons

Taken with flash.

This is my favourite shot : Streetlight

Alas~

Agh... seems that my cpu has a problem : data cable doesnt work on it. or rather, the few-year-old machine's USB ports didnt work.

lol. If you had no idea what i was talking about (which I believe so :P), I went to meet my new semi-slr seller Mister SL (as advertised) to grab my new baby. Took a few photos under his kind assistance in the car as well as in a food court nearby. He's generous enough to insert a 256-mb CF card to serve as a memory storage media into the pouch.

So Uber Excited.. XD


And SO, I went home after that, took some nice shots for the Queen of the house (the one you see in my avatar with a fair skin tone and a shade of tan :P)... then wanted to transfer all of the pictures to the pee-see... and woot! usb did not work :O

Hmm... nevermind I thought. I might as well wait til the next day to upload the pictures into my office pee-see... but wootx2... I did not have permission to do so... need consent from the IT administrator.. =.=

Chinese calls this : mafan
Malays call this : memafankan
Brits call this : (what?)

lol.

Anyway, uploads failed. I think I might be getting a card reader.
=)

til I post up photos. Stay tuned !!

Reborn

Yay! Im back!

Sorry folks.. been M-I-A (if you dont understand this acronym it's Missing-In-Action)

So I tried to continue on my first Carpe Diem blog but seems that the image creator is no longer active so all my stuff were GONE!

Nevermind... I can create another one no problem with that :P

So... whats up with my life... er... basically my birthday is coming soon (next Sunday) and im thinking of getting myself something. I somehow knew no one's gonna possibly get me this beauty so i surrendered to GOd's will :P

Tadaaaa !! This is it. My so-called 'black beauty'
