On Dad's iPhone

I've taken to taking photos on my dad's iPhone recently because it actually take pretty decent photos. Sure DSLR let's you take better photo but let's face it, it's so unconvenient to carry it around all the time. I actually get backaches when I carry it around for hours during family trips where I'm the designated photographer. So yea, I actually get fed up with all the trouble I have to go through to lug my DSLR all around =(

So now I just settle with something that I can carry around. Or rather, my dad carries around him all the time, his phone. So why not make use of it? =D

Since I came home for the loooooooooooong holidays, I've been out pretty often with my family for brunch/lunches/dinner where I can't help but take photos of yummy pictures =D

The first week I came back, we went to eat at Purple Cane Restaurant at it's original branch at the Chinese Assembly Hall. I've always enjoyed eating there since I was a kid and I haven't been there for a few years now. As always, we ordered this dish:

Erm, sorry I don't know what's its name haha. But doesn't it look good =D

Oh and Purple Cane dishes are famous for using tea in all it's dishes. It's most obvious example is their rice. As you can see below, there are few strands of tea leaves on the rice. It doesn't actually give out a really obvious aroma but I just enjoy the presence of the tea leaf on my rice. If you are still desperate to smell the tea, you have to put your nose really really close to the rice. You can try, but people might think you are a weirdo.

Last weekend we went to have dimsum at USJ Taipan. Wasn't satisfactory.

One of the dimsum we ate. Didn't really like it.

And for dinner tonight, we went to a seafood grill restaurant near Klang and also very near to my primary school.

Food was nice. The price tag? Not so. They totally scammed us. RM44 for 5 tiny lamb chops. I will never eat there again! Never! You can buy 8 lamb chops two times the size of those they sell for only RM18.

The yam mee was great and taste almost similar to Hokkien Mee.

Nyam nyam... There was celery in it but I barely noticed it as it's strong smell is totally covered by the kicap. I'm not really sure whether it's a good thing...

My brother has smash-crab-shell fetish. Really.

Speaking of my brother,

he unfriended me on Facebook.

And I have to add him again.

... A request which he accepted.

Dumb.

Malaysian Aboriginals

Ever thought of Orang Asli or Malaysian Aboriginals? Until recently, I thought Orang Asli are bumiputras such as Kadazandusuns, Iban, Bajaus, Bidayuh, but not Malays. Sometimes, I even use the terms interchangeably. My mom always gave me a weird look when I talk about my 'Orang Asli' friends from university. When I went to Taman Negara a while back, I was cleared of my misconceptions. Orang Asli are not the ethnic groups from Sabah/Sarawak. They are Orang Asli, another ethnic group on its own. How come I never knew that? Either I have studied it in Sejarah but don't remember it (Hey, who else remembered the contents of Wawasas 2020 which I tried to etch it into my mind the night before SPM paper? I don't. None of it. Conclusion: No one remembers what is mentioned in sejarah textbook.) or it is not mentioned in our history syllabus. If it is the latter, I am really pissed off because as the first settlers of peninsula Malaysia, shouldn't they provide more we...

It's December!

Stating the obvious is one way to start a blog post (as per my opinion). Of course, if it is unacceptable, please tell me. Maybe a philosophical quote would be better, preferably in Latin (Do you know Germans get to learn Latin as a second language? So cool! A German couple told us when my family were in Taman Negara). Or maybe to you, the sentence ‘It’s December!’ is worth deciphering from the philosophical point of view. Let me just tell you: There is none. I really am just stating the obvious because I have no idea what to write as the title (as always). So why am I here again? One is because I just went to a happy place! And happy events are always worth blogging down. Oh ok ok, I am also happy during the other times I am not blogging too. So what other reason made me want to blog today? Well, long story short: My lecturer said my English is not up to standard. Yup. Personally I think my English is not too bad (Definitely better than the Malaysian population). But who knows ri...

How I became a barista and how it's like working as one.

It surprises me that people still don't know what does 'barista' means. Barista is defined as ' a person whose job involves preparing and serving different types of coffee'. I was working as one for 5 months and basically, I make coffee and serve it to customers. It's my longest job to date, providing me something legal to do and earning some pocket money during my wait (still waiting for at time of writing. 9 months and counting.) (I'm putting the word 'legal' in because I'm still feeling a bit bitter about the fact that some of my friends actually took the opportunity to do illegal locum. Hey ho, that's people to you.) After my final professional examination (which was in August 2015), I told myself to enjoy my holidays but as usual, I got bored and restless and found myself a job as a research assistant. But it wasn't a satisfying job because: 1. I have to travel all the way to PJ on weekdays. 2. Get stuck in the jam for a total...
