My Favourite Time Is Fika Time

Off all the meal times, my favourite is always and will always be tea time. I even blogged about it 5 years ago HERE . Damn I was thin back then. Sighh.  Those were the days that I have so much time on my hand with so little commitment hence the coffee time hunt. It is my favourite meal time whenever I'm back in hometown too.  Bila rajin, sis buatlah kuih muih yang simple-simple. Cucur sayur ke cucur ikan bilis ke. Bila syaiton rajin merasuk, maka kadang-kadang tu terjadilah karipap atau popia. Ni weols tea time kat luar. Extra betul. Dengan buahnya, char kueh tiaw, roti kawin. On top left is kong pia, Sarawakian pastry, often filled with savoury meat filling. And that chubby hand is so delectable I wanna bite it. Kena pulak Teh O panas, lagi seronok kalau kebetulan pulak petang tu hujan. Yang best pasal tea time kat kampung halaman ni sebab boleh minum petang sambil bergosip dengan mak, makcik, adik beradik atau sepupu sis. Kadang tea time sampai sejam dan tak...

The Weirdest Dream

Yesterday I had an extremely weird dream.  You know sometimes you dreamt about those who have passed away but often these dream didn't left me feeling confuse and they didn't affect me a lot. I dreamt about my dearly departed friend, A.  Mind you, I never dreamt about him before and I wasn't thinking about him before I sleep. A was my secondary school classmate. He was a very smart guy and 3 of us with another classmate always in close competition for the number 1 spot in class. He was also the head prefect during my time. He's so smart that sometimes it gets annoying arguing with him. We weren't that close personally and after we left school, we never really kept in touch but without fail, every festive season he will send a text wishing me well.  Every year. Every festive season. Without fail. So he holds a special place in my heart for his thoughtfulness. The last I heard of him, he was pursuing PhD in our hometown. I was happy for him as he is ...

Manusia Dua Alam

  Pernah jumpa tak manusia yang indah khabar dari rupa? Ataupun manusia yang dalam sosial media adalah seseorang yang sangat menarik hidupnya, melancong sana sini, kelihatan peramah dengan cerita-cerita pasal orang sekeliling dia tapi dalam kehidupan sebenar, agak sendu dan krik krik? Pernah kan? Inilah manusia dua alam dimana alam maya dan alam realiti dia berbeza umpama langit dan bumi. Ada seorang manusia ni, kita namakan dia XX (bukan nama sebenar). XX ni sering update cerita panjang lebar dalam sosial media dia. Satu gambar dia upload selalu disertakan dengan karangan 2 mukasurat.  Ada sekali dia upload gambar makanan yang diberikan rakan sekerja dia. Mulalah karangan 2 muka surat dia menceritakan mak si anu masak makanan lebih sikit untuk dia, si polan pun bagi makanan. Betapa murahnya rezeki dia dan bertuah dikelilingi kawan-kawan yang baik dan thoughtful. Wahhh kemain. Tapi dalam alam realiti, dia manusia berperangai pelik dan tidak boleh difahami. K...

[Insert Title Please]

Excuse me while I clean the spider web on this blog. Bersawang dan berhabuk sis. Lama sangat tak update gitu kan. Sometimes I wonder if there are people who still read my blog. Lols. Readership has dwindled. Maybe a lot of people does not read blog or switch from FB to other social media. Maybe I need to think of juicier contents? So anyway, this is a bla bla post means it's a random musing and takde pengajaran moral pun. Kalau bosan dan takde tujuan hidup silalah baca. Hihi I don't know if any of you felt what I feel, like life has become one big blur moment of going to work then back to work, repeat until the day you die. I feel like a robot. Urghhh work.  Mid-quarter midlife crisis la kot sis ni. Ataupun sis mengalami burnout? Mungkin sis perlukan rutin baru? sesuatu kelainan dalam hidup? staycation? vacation? Tapi yang pasti, sis terasa sangat drained (direct translation: longkang). Macam mana eh nak explain maksud drained ni? Uols paham-paham sendiri la k. ...

Melbourne 2019 - Puffing Billy & Brighton Bathing Boxes The Iconic Brighton Bathing Boxes Hari ke-4 di Melbourne, kita akan menjelajah pulak ke Puffing Billy dan kemudian petangnya pulak catch the sunset at Brighton Beach gituu. Puffing Billy. Image from Google The Puffing Billy ni adalah steam train yang alaaa, macam keretapi dalam cerita Harry Potter tu. So bila uols naik ni, bolehlah fefeeling macam Harry Potter nak pegi Hogwarts.  Dan yang lagi bagi feel adalah keretapi ni terletak di Dandenong Ranges , sebuah kawasan hutan berbukit-bukit, bergunung-ganag yang masih terjaga alam semula jadinya. Sejarah Puffing Billy dan maklumat lain, uols boleh baca kat PUFFING BILLY WEBSITE . Tiket untuk naik keretapi ni pun sis rekomen uols beli online kat website dia jugak. Tips: Sila rujuk timetable keretapi bertolak kat SINI bagi mengelakkan kekecewaan ye.

Melbourne 2019 - Great Ocean Road Trip (Day 2 & 3)

Us & 12 Apostles. Forehead game strong, ai kenot. Baca Day 1 kat  SINI  ye uols. Hari kedua di Melbourne dan kami sangat teruja untuk Great Ocean Road trip (GOR). Wehoooo! Tapi hari tu cuaca agak mendung sepanjang perjalanan dari bandar Melbourne ke GOR dengan hujan renyai-renyai disatu dua tempat. Sesiapa yang berkunjung ke Melbourne, bolehlah dikatakan tidak lengkap lawatan uols jika tidak menjejakkan kaki ke GOR. It's one of the world's most scenic coastal drive, along the south-west coast of Victoria.  Perjalanan lebih kurang 243km ini bermula dari Melbourne CBD hingga ke Port Campbell dan akan melalui pelbagai jenis permandangan, flora dan fauna. Sepanjang perjalanan tu, korang akan melalui tebing laut dan lautan yang luas mata memandang.  Lepas tu uols akan melalui pulak hutan kayu Eucalyptus , ladang-ladang ternakan lembu hitam putih, kambing biri-biri gebu serta bukit bukau yang menghijau. Highly recommended untuk mereka yang sukakan al...
