Was in Malacca over the weekend and went around in search of things to have for breakfast. Bored with having our usual 'wan tan mi' and nyonya nasi lemak, WK suggested we have 'yu yuan'(fish balls) instead. We usually pack them for lunch but prefer eating them right at the stall this time around. I prefer to eat there even it it means having to eat like a cow (eat standing) just because the crackers are so much more crunchier.
This uncle usually hangs around Tong Hup as early as 10am to about 1pm. But he doesn't stays put at one location. Says that he will follow wherever the sun goes...haha...he'll be in the shaded area until the sun comes, then he'll moves to another location further down the road. He repeats this until the area is no longer shaded and will then move to another street.
This whopping plate of fish balls, 'tau kwa', prawn crackers, fish eggs and cucumber cost about RM 7. A standard plate cost about RM 5. One may choose to have just fish balls and tau kwa alone but I recommend the 'cham-cham' (mix everything).
It's been a long while since I last wrote and lots has happened since. My car radiator got overheated, my muffins turned out like 'kueh', work desk overflowing, wedding shoe strap broken, living ceiling turned moldy from roof leaking, still with the same job...
Nevertheless, I am still here..maybe a couple of months older and lacking enthusiasm but still here. Although sounding so pessimistic, I still have things to look forward to. Other than that, happy things and thoughts kept me through it all. I still love shoes, still hunting for furniture, still hoping to tour the world, still scouting for places with good food, still planning to open my own cafe, still dreaming...
Went to Shenzhen recently. Been watching too much Hong Kong movies to think that we can always get cheap goods there. Alas, we were there towards the end of winter and close to the Lunar New Year. There is nothing to buy but winter clothing and New Year goodies which tend to be more expensive during this season. All other items were not cheap either. Didn't bother to take many pictures...everywhere is so packed with people, RUDE people to be specific. But, am overall happy about the trip because that adds to the list of places I've visited.
Nope, this little friend is not from Shenzhen. Just had to add a picture to this boring entry. He was spotted in Cherating on a surfing trip end of last year. Didn't have time to write about the trip but had a great time, though tired and ached all over.
Recently witness these two cuties in a shopping mall in Malacca. Just couldn't resist taking a video of them. The black kitty is really aggressive and kept pouncing onto the white one. I guess the white little fellow couldn't take it anymore and decided to fled...hihihi...
Just for the record, I am not advertising for them. I have this friend who wanted to transfer her membership because of personal reasons. She called me one year ago to ask whether I wanted to join and I told her that I have no time for it. She called me again a few days ago and said that she has extended the membership period because she could not find a replacement. Anyway, the package is for a one year membership at the normal rate. The transfer will include one month free membership fee and no transfer or joining fee. The remaining 11 months shall be paid by the potential member to True Fitness. Do send me an email or drop a comment on this post if you are interested. I would be glad to provide you further details on this.
Here's an engineer in distress, looking forward to a new life, a desert lover and one who enjoys a refreshing leisure swim....this blogger welcome comments & questions at happynflora@gmail.com
