Chronicles of Affection

Wonderful Xmas and CNY

2009-02-02T14:42:00.006+08:00

Look what my Bi surprised me during CNY eve? She came all the way from her place just to nudge me with a reddish bag and WoW!!! My dream DSLR!

No, I was not dreaming. I longed for this camera so much, what's more when I never have my own camera all this while. So used to just snap pictures from my lousy camera phone.

She knows just right that I wanted to give her my best and she too gave her best to me. So sweet and I'm out of words even right now!

Canon 1000D entry level DSLR worth RM1999, comes with 4GB CF card, tripods and Sling bag.

I have never fail to enjoy every single moment with you, Bi.
Now I can fully capture all the beautiful moments of our life with this DSLR.
Perfecto!

You're the sweetest, Bi!

Everday I Love You

2008-11-21T01:16:00.002+08:00

I don't know but I believe

That some things are meant to be

And that you'll make a better me

Everyday I love you

I never thought that dreams came true

But you showed me that they do

You know that I learn somethng new

Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny

Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)

And you'll never live until you love

With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad

It's a smile when I get mad

All the little things I am

Everyday I love you

Everyday I love you boy

Everyday I love you

'Cos I believe that destiny

Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)

And you'll never live until you love

With all your heart and soul

If I asked would you say yes?

Together we're the very best I know that I am truly blessed

Everyday I love you

And I'll give you my best

Everyday I love you

A timely song dedication to my dear as it draws nearer to our anniversary. Time flies, especially when both of us are busy with our responsibilities. Tedious study and workload from the industry filled our daily activities but never do we forget each other at the end of the day when we lay our eyes to rest.

That no matter how occupied we are, no matter how busy and tired we are, we know that there's someone you can look forward to share the precious moments in life - that's the sweetest meaning of life.

We Belong Together

2008-10-11T16:56:00.005+08:00

Ah Bi...

A song to dedicate to you... for being there for me all the time.

Sharing our ups and downs...cheers and laughters plus a lil twist of sadness...

Your the greatest my dear...

Give you some funny clips...reminds me your evil laughs and cheeky jitters!

The lady looks very very disturbing rite? wahahahaha

Happy Birthday to My Bi !!!

2008-07-31T21:07:00.002+08:00

I really wanna make up for not being there by your side on this special day of yours, my dear.
I really do.

All the while, you have been the light of my life and I am sure I will try endlessly to be yours as well. Be it good times or sad moments, you showed me the way to persevere and going through every moment with faith and hope in mind. You're truly amazing, Bi!

Today, you celebrate your birthday with lots of love from your family and friends. But never do I forget to post some warm hugs and flying kisses to you right from KL to Penang. My promises and vows are forever yours and warmth feelings are awaiting for us the next time we shall meet.

You're forever young in my heart and forever it will be.

Love,
Des

Wonderful 7 Months

2008-07-04T16:59:00.002+08:00

Time flies... indeed...

It was all smooth going right after my final exam last November.

Then you appear by my side, touching my heart by the minutes.

and not it is July already.

Back from holidays, back to reality.

When you came to KL, it was all pure fun.

It was a terrible shopping experience, a nice one for you.

Well, it was all forgiven when all the hearts pouring onto me.

Followed suit was the eating spree.

Jogoya, "Tai Tow Har", Naili's... you name it.

Then it was moving house from KL to Penang.

Driving all the way back to Penang.

Then internships starts, my Bi returned to final sem of uni.

Daily we worked and studied.

Nites of countless dinners and meals.

Movie sprees and unlimited mahjong.

It was all so sweet.

When my Bi graduated, I finished my internship.

When you began working, I was in total holiday mood.

Hearts were difficult when we know we are gonna miss each other again.

I went Macao, you went Bangkok.

and now I'm going back KL with a sombre feeling.

Deeply missing the times you were by my side.

Promise me you'll take care of yourself.

and we shall be together in no time.

hugz~~~

As Promised...

2008-03-22T10:11:00.002+08:00

Just when life turned to a down side for me,

you showed that you're always be standing by me...

Nothing else that beats the feeling of being cared,

and the lasting feeling of sharing and caring.

You're the sweetest!

Penang Food

2008-01-12T16:38:00.000+08:00

This edition of food post is gona bring to you Penang local delicacy.

What is the majority clan in Penang?

OF course it is Hokkien !

SO today, I'm gona bring to you one of the top Hokkien Mee stall in Penang for you.

Personally, I prefer a Hokkien Mee from "somewhere else" but this one is highly rated but other local Penangite as well...

Introducing - Super Hokkien Mee

Located in One Corner Cafe behind Penang Plaza, this is the stall which previously located behind Lai Lai/ SUPER Burmah Shopping Center.

That's why it is called "Super" Hokkien Mee, following the Super Burmah Shopping Complex, not because they are Super or superior to others lah

Yes, as you can predict, this stall is always full with customers. Unfortunately this brings to the cockyness of the boss.

Even before you place your order, he will say...

"U kena wait for 45 mins, kenot wait, sori lah"

Yeah..lidat wan..si pek hao lian!

But today, out of boringness and curiosity to test out patient, we went there and queue.

Indeed 30 mins we waited to taste our so called Har Mee.

Here it is...

RM4.00 a bowl. Consider mahal also LOL

Wateva it is, for food I don't really mind. As long as my tummy is happy, it is enough LOL

Cheers

Joyous Christmas

2007-12-26T22:24:00.000+08:00

Another year has gone...

None of us can believe that time really flies and now we are at the end of the year again.

Sweet memories - we would always cherish and brings back tears of joy.

Bad memories - tend to be left aside and to inspire our life being a greater and stronger ones.

So, what is your true christmas meaning?

It does not matter whether you're busy celebrating with ur frens in da club, or just spending quality time with loved ones.

The true meaning of christmas lies beneath your heart - that's when at the end of the day, you'd look at yourself in the eye and ask:

" Dear oh dear... What have I done to my life? Have I been doing things that I will not regret? or Did I REALLY enjoyed my xmas? "

As for me and Evelyn... we had a really meaningful one. We both agreed.
A simple celebration with lots of love among us and our family.

Prawns @ Tualang

2007-11-28T16:24:00.000+08:00

As you can think of from the title of this post, what the heck is this Big Head Prawns? If you watch Astro AEC's Taste With Jason, visited this site before, then you should have a rough idea already.

So, on our way back from KL, we dropped by at Tanjung Tualang for a spice of our life with this great local cuisine. Big Head Prawn or in Cantonese known as "Tai Tow Har" is a fresh water prawn which looks a lil bit like lobster and prawn. It is huge in size comparatively to normal prawns, even bigger than the king prawn we had in Jogoya.

On our way there, we took the Gopeng exit at the PLUS highway and drove about 20 mins through the inner city of Jeram and Malim Mawar. There are huge ponds and lake where the locals rear these Big Head Prawns and some other fresh water fishes.

This small town of Tanjung Tualang is well known for its delicacy.

Now I am just focussing to show your the dishes we enjoyed or rather galloped there!

This is the "Pak Sook Kung" Snapper we ordered and steamed with light soya sauce. Very fresh as if it has just be caught right from the pond behind the shop. It is best served while it's hot.

A plate of vegetable, I supposed we ordered "Yau Mak" fried with Salted Bean Curd but this is definitely not what we requested. Duno what's that, but it tastes pretty fine.

We are now slowly approaching the cream of the crop...

This is the middle sized fresh water prawn deep fired with salted eggs. There are 9 prawns for 3 of us. Seemingly small from the angle of this shot, but look further... it is actually quite big already. The meat is so fresh and "padat".

This is the actual size after it has been skinned off. Kinda big right?

Tastes so good with the salted egg!

See, dear Evelyn already enjoying herself in this candid shot. So natural yet so candid!

and...finally...

the ultimatum...

...

what?? let me hear you say...

TAI TOW HAR !!!

Nice leh??? Again, if you can't picture how massive is the size, use the tea glass on the top tight of the picture to project the actual size of each prawn. The "sticks" at the side of the plate is actually the legs and clamps of the prawn!

My happy face with the prawn are comparatively same in size.

Let me explain part by part of the prawn. We shall begin with the head. It is stuffed and filled with the "ko" or eggs of high chloresterol !!! Wheeeee !!~~~~

Can you see the intestines and the egg oozzing out of the prawn head? So yummilicious!

That's me sucking out all the juice outta the head!!!

The prawn head skinned of its body and stretched to the max.

It is still so flexible and has so high elasticity. Let's proceed to the prawn body!

You can witness the succulent body being separated from the head.

Gosh, the meat is to tough and yet juicy that after your first bite, your tongue is so so stucked up like finger licking greatness.!

It is comparable to a chicken drumstick already. The meat is so stuffed and penuh berisi!

The prawn is so huge that Pling couldn't even squeeze it into her mouth! Wahahaha!

Nah, after eat the prawn body adee...Lick finger first... then continue with the legs...

See, the prawn meat sticks out of the legs after u poke a chopstick into the other side of the leg.

Finally the damaged done on 4 dishes for 3 person. Not a bad way to spend RM151.90 on a meal. This trip definitely unforgetable!

J. Co Donuts @ Pavilion

2007-11-26T16:36:00.000+08:00

The day after my exam finished, my dear and Pling came down to KL for a mission - to brave the 4 hour road trip from Pg to KL seeking for shopping "inspiration".

Coincidently, since I never stepped into Pavilion myself, I took this opportunity to go walk walk a while before I go back to rot in Penang for half a year.

Pavilion was humongous! I was wondering since when in the heart of Kl city still got such a huge space to be developed into a such a huge shopping complex. It was constructed for several years and many people like me never realize until today.

My first impression was a typical one.

Pavilion? In Bukit Bintang ah? Opposite Starhill? Then the things there surely expensive gila babi wan!

Yes it is... they got all the designers' shops from the likes of Salvatore Ferragamo, The Coach, Emeregildo Zegna, Marc Jacobs, Armani and all the luxury shops like Mont Blanc, THW and many more...

Of cos dear didn't go for all those shops, they went for the likes of Dorothy Perkins, Zara, Envee, MNG and stuff lah... So, now I was made to be shopping-literate too LOL of which previously I don't really know those shops. I do not shop that often neither.

Why I still go there ah? Just to be frank, I only have one motive being there...

J.Co Donuts!!!

I am super sure that many of you have seen and tasted this donut or doughnut (to be spelt correctly). J.Co is originated from Indonesia and it has already served over 50 millions donuts in the past 2 years.

There is this super fehmes Al-Caponne donut (top right), which is the numero uno donut in J.Co. Clockwise sequence, it is followed by the Chocolate with banana, tiramisu donut, Oreo Donut, Choco Donut and Blueberry Donut. My apologies for the inaccurate names, but heck... when you have lined up for 30 minutes and smell the freshness of the donuts, nothing comes to your mind but stuffing all those donuts into your mouth... Whoaa simply tantalizing!

Half a dozen of donuts costs Rm11 but if you buy 2 dozens like many of the rest did, it costs only RM30++ (around there lah). So the more you buy, the more you save!

J.Co also sells nice beverages, I tried the Iced Chocolate (RM9) and it tastes pretty special and ultimately fresh! Dear coupled up with some french fries and pies from King Pie and Pling bought some XXL Spicy Fried Chicken from Shihlin. That made our tea time complete. In fact, it was too much that we skipped our dinner, LOL.

The first day of the KL trip ended with just some simple shopping at Pavilion. It was a great exposure...especially with the donuts WAHAHAHA

No More Hiatus

2007-11-22T23:59:00.001+08:00

Our sincere apologies for such a long hiatus from blogging.

No worries, both of us are finally back from KL and definitely will bring to you many many posts updates.

So stay tuned and do come by more often ya!

We assure you more yummylicious photos coming up!

Famous Things in Terengganu

2007-10-23T01:27:00.000+08:00

Well, i would say that Terengganu is one of the patriotism state in Malaysia...

Why?

Is like Merdeka already over for few months and yet i can see flagsss hanging everywhere!

Now, HERE WE GO!

1# Malaysia flag

2# A few malaysia flags (sorry, the pic is kinda blur..i was in the car that time...)

3# WOW!!! Many many many flags!!!! All along the walkway k!

4# Full of flags...even crow oso cannot squeeze in between the flags!

5# Now, this is wat i called as CREATIVE FLAG! It was made by water bottles....coloured water bottles...hahahaha....found this in KUSTEM

For now we r goin to see the 2nd famous thing is Terengganu....the turtle

The changing colours turtle ...red, blue n pink?

Check this out! Found this turtle eggs in the famous Pasar Payang... well, the price is kinda cheap, around RM10 per packet... Actually the turtle egg has a very soft shell n it is smaller than the chicken egg.

This is the preserved turtle eggs... u can actually eat it raw. First, u hav to drink or suck out the egg white (which is in liquid form) and then eat the egg yolk...the egg yolk is like the boiled chicken egg yolk...I felt so disgusted when my friend explained it to me and i immediately say NO to it!

You can spot turtle everywhere in Terengganu, even the turtle's swimming pool in Gem Beach Resort owned by my friend's aunty...

Does this building for like something?

hehehe, this building looked like turtle, right?
my friend told me that the red colour building beside the turtle look like some other creature...wat do u think?

Giant supermarket in Terengganu

2007-10-18T11:04:00.000+08:00

Believe me, Giant supermarket in Terengganu really eeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww......
it all happened when i was taking pic enthusiastically in Giant ( la la la la...) while a malay guy approached me n said:

Huan Na Kia: Cik, kamu sedang buat apa?
Innocent me: Huh? Apa?
Huan Na Kia: Cik sedang buat apa? Tangkap gambar?
Innocent me: Hmmm...Ya, Jadi?
Huan Na Kia: Kamu tidak boleh ambil gambar di sini. Delete semua. DELETE.
Innocent me: Mengapa? Tak boleh ambil gambar meh?
Huan Na Kia: Tak boleh. (while showing me his security pas). Saya sekuriti di sini. Memang
tidak boleh ambil gambar.

(DAMN, WTF, taking pic oso cannot! u tot Giant got gold meh!) *Thus i deleted the pic ONE-BY-ONE in front of that stupid Huan Na Kia*

Innocent me: Okay, sudah delete.
Huan Na Kia: No, sure sudah delete semua?
Innocent me: Of coz la!!!! *i even deleted the Giant Logo outside the building! NOT ENUF MEH?*
Huan Na Kia: Show me all ur pic in ur camera.

*i was like $&&*(@&*&(#@)! i got around 400++ pic in the camera! u wan me to show u all meh? somemore it is my privacy! Damn stupid la that fellar!Like katak di bawah tempurung, dunno how to use camera kot...

Innocent me: Mana boleh show u semua? *thus i just show him the first and the last pic in my camera, but he still looked gong gong like ah beng*
Huan Na Kia: Kita orang memang tak benarkan kamu ambil gambar di sini. Kita ada cctv. Jika u nak ambil gambar, u kena send in application letter then kami akan hantar orang escort u ambil gambar. Itu pun tak boleh ambil gambar sebarangan.

*Pissed off*
*Speechless*
*Walked away*

I felt so insulted in front of the public and promised myself not to go to any Giant supermarket even in PG!
Sorry can't post up any picture...all deleted...hahaha...

After that, i keep searching for any notices that disallowed us to take pic and guess wat, tahi lalat pun tak nampak!

* Sorry, i went to Giant supermarket in Prangin Mall after that incident...hehehe....pai seh pai seh...boh huat, since i was in prangin d, so just buy stuff from there...save car park money...muahahahhaha*
