Going Home

It's 27th July 2007 and I will be going home tomorrow! Waiting 3 whole weeks for this day to come and it's finally here :D Super happy today.

Looking forward to a good dinner tonight with good company as well, we're planning to exchange ghost stories! *shiver shiver* and to think that African Dream is just next to the cemetery *eeks*

Mango Lolo

Had this Mango Lolo in Subang Jaya SS15. Look at the succulent longans on the top with freshly cut slices of tangy mango. Yumzz.

African Dream

It's 4pm now in Congo and I'm in African Dream the 'motel'. At least there's internet here! *yawwnnn* 3 more weeks of wonderful Africa before I can go home *sigh*

Aren't these gorgeous?

PS. I Love You

Ever thought about going through and living life after losing someone near and dear to your heart? Ever wondered about how to survive each day without having your loved one by your side, without hearing his/her words and without his/her comforting presence? We often take our loved ones for granted, always assuming that they will be there all the time. We see them everyday until we don't really 'see' them anymore, we complain they nag us and restrict us; but we never stop to think - 'What would I do without this person in my life?'

Ps. I Love You by Cecilia Ahern tells us of a story of a young woman who lost her husband; the man she has been with every day of her life for the past 15 years. It tells us of her struggle to continue living her life without her soulmate by her side, sharing her every thought and dreams. It also tells us of how she learns to live her life for herself, not for the ghost of her husband and how to appreciate and treasure each memory they had together while not being afraid to make some more.

It is wonderful indeed how the author has managed to convey emotions through her words - happy, exciting, sad, heart-wrenching. The tale sweeps you off your feet and you find yourself crying and laughing together with Holly as she slowly finds her way and learns how to live again in the first year after her husband's passing. An eye-opener and a joy to read; it is a change from romantic, sappy love stories and shows you a new perspective on life.

Interesting

Was at a restaurant yesterday and this is what I saw on the menu:
Weird isn't it...

Dinner @ Bumbu Bali

We visited Bumbu Bali last Tuesday on our way back from work. There were lots of reviews of this place online so we thought to give it a try and see for ourselves.

This is the drink we ordered - it was honeydew + mint + honey. Quite a nice combination at first, but somehow after awhile it began to taste like cough or flu syrup to me. Hehehe, maybe it was the mint!

This was the grilled dory fish with yummy garlic mashed potatoes.. yumm.. it was grilled to perfection and the marination was excellent indeed.

I think this is one of the specials and a crowd favourite - Nasi Campur Bali. There were lots of things - fish, squids, but our favourite was the beef rendang. It was sooo tender and tasted absolutely heavenly! The kangkung belacan was pretty good too. See the 'satay' on the serai (lemongrass)? That was pretty good too as you could taste the flavour of the serai stick in the seafood satay. Yummm..

Overall I would say the place has a pretty good ambience. Unfortunately, upstairs was closed so we couldn't go there - apparently it's much more romantic up there. Hehehe. Overall, it was a pretty good dining experience.

Wonderful Bangkok

It was a first trip to Bangkok for me.. haven't been a tourist for a long time :) We did touristy things and tried the local food - the tom yam was yum yummm...

The 'elephants' at the Summer Palace

There were so many flowers at the Summer Palace... beautiful. Appreciated by one who has 'brown' fingers.. hehee

After the Summer Palace, we went to the ruins of the old city - Ayutthaya. There's JS trying to fit into the environment

We visited the Grand Palace the next day... it was hot hot hot but the architecture was beautiful! Makes you wonder how they built all those buildings without the canggih manggih machines and tools. Here is a reflection of one of the buildings in the Grand Palace through one of the reflective tiles

This is my fav fav picture.. no touchup done whatsoever. It sums up the beauty of Thailand at one glance :)
