Kasih Sayang Adalah Ayam Masak Kicap

Ini cerita seorang anak perantauan.

Sebenarnya agak susah menjadi anak perantauan kalau tak ada social support system. None of my family members are here, most of my friends are back for good in their hometowns and friends that I have here, I don't get to see them very often because of my working hours. 

It can get very very veryyyy lonely.

My colleagues who are staying with their family sometimes bought home cooked food to work and there I was eating my food-court-bought lunch and thinking how nice it is to have someone who prepared food for you.

At times when I got home late from work and hungry, I couldn't help but think how nice it is to come home to a nice home cooked meal. Doesn't have to be anything elaborate, probably fried fish with white rice is enough to make me feel loved. 

But yeah, I ended up eating a piece of bread with a cup of hot tea. Either because I was too tired or too late to cooked but most of the time because I don't have anything in the fridge besides eggs. 

Sometimes when I'm home early and in a domestic mood, I cook but the feeling is not the same as when someone cooked it for you.

I think the missing ingredients would be love.

True what they say, food is a currency of love. 

Safe to say, I am deeply homesick and I miss a nice home cooked food. 

The other day, I purposely did not have dinner at work because I wanted to make fried rice at home. So when I got back, hungry and tired, when suddenly my housemate said

"Gas sudah habis."

Fffffffffffff.....Nangis di sudut bilik.

Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Secluded Sanctuary For Introverts

 Strawberry Park Resort Cameron Highlands - Introvert's Perfect Sanctuary Picture credit: https://strawberryparkresorts.com/ I'm always on the hunt for an introvert's getaway. As you can probably tell, I love misty mountain retreats. The tranquility, cool crisp air, breathtaking view, the seclusion are just 😍 perfect for introverting. I chanced upon Strawberry Park Resort while staying at SunLight Suite during my last trip to Cameron Highlands.  I was admiring the night view from Sunlight Suite's compound when I saw a well-lit area on the adjacent hill and remembered thinking to myself "Hmm, that looks like an expensive place....but I gotta check it out!" As it turns out, it wasn't that expensive considering the comfort, the facilities, and the invigorating environment.  Hotel Booking I booked through Agoda for a 3-day 2 nights stay, without breakfast for RM720+. Before my trip, I emailed the resort for booking confirmation, coz you know how sometimes A...

Porn Puaka Di Gym

Tajuk mengundang kontroversi Sis ni bukan apa rajin pergi gym, selain nak bersenam, iols juga suka mencuci mata. Bukan setakat mencuci mata dengan jantan helok (I'm still hoping sebab gym iols pegi tu SENDUU), sis juga suka melihat gegadis yang fefeeling gedik dengan bermacam fesyen di gym tu. Biasanya gegadis newbie ni macam cendawan. Muncul sekejap di kala azam baru masih utuh yakni di awal tahun atau selepas perayaan di mana memasing nak kurus.  Tunggulah 2 bulan kemudian langsung tak nampak batang hidung ataupun buttcheeks. Eh?

Adventure Time In Taman Negara Pahang - Day 1

Adventure Time In Taman Negara Pahang Image credit: Mutiara Taman Negara My last memorable trip was that rejuvenating retreat in Cameron Highlands . So, I vowed to make 2023 as memorable as possible, and visit new places as much as money and time would allow. This Taman Negara trip marks my first trip for 2023 and I would highly recommend all nature lovers to visit.  Absolutely memorable! It only took less than a month to gather 6 adventure kakis, plan, and book the trip.  Easy peasy lemon squeezy.  Accommodations in Taman Negara Pahang There are a lot of places you can stay in Kuala Tahan .  We booked Mutiara Taman Negara for convenience and resort vibe which I'm a sucker for. I just have this crazy attraction for a wooden chalet in a jungle. Anyway, Mutiara Taman Negara is the only resort that is located within Taman Negara, overlooking Sg. Tembeling.  They offered several attractive packages that include accommodations, meals, and activities. We booked ...

Sarawakians and Gardenia's bun obsession

Sarawakians And Gardenia's Bun Obsession Have you observed in the airport shop, people carrying baskets and plastics full of Gardenia's bread/buns?  Or there's no more space left for your luggage in the overhead compartment of the airplane because it is stuffed with buns? Tiada space di overhead compartment itu memang mengundang kemarahan. These people are most definitely Sarawakians (my friends claimed Sabahans do that too).  I don't know who started it but the obsession with Gardenia buns happened because there is no Gardenia in Sarawak. Why oh why.  It's not like there are no good buns or bakeries in Sarawak. It's just that Gardenia has this sense of awe to it.  like "These are not sold in Kuching you know."  or "Bapak kamek beli tok dari KL nun, kitak tek ada?"  or something like that...It's like a souvenir from KL. It's similar to the obsession of Peninsular Malaysians with Kek Lapis.  Anyway, some of their bre...
