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...

Grilled crabs. In a hmm... Not so appropriate position =S

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.

Solo Travel is WAY overrated.

Across the Internet, you see people gush on and on about the wonders of solo travel. Don't believe me? Here are the many examples: 1. From a travel website. A truly liberating experience:  Solo travel is one of most liberating experiences on the planet - you’ve got no responsibilities to anybody but yourself, you can do what you want and leave when you like, and the buzz you get from the sense of freedom is immense. 2, A quote within a nice photo: (PS: I did travel alone and it was way lonelier than I expected) 3. Another quote: Inspired by this, I planned a solo trip to Cambodia. Initially, I was even more ambitious and planned a SEA solo trip- Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam and maybe even the Philippines. Obviously, that didn't turn out as plan and I settled with Cambodia only. That was the best decision I made with regards to my trip planning. I am so grateful I didn't have to go through the horror of travelling ALONE. Haha ok ...

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...

2nd-post-of-the-year Update

Hi all! You must have thought that I've gone off the blogging world and you are ALL WRONG! - - - - - Actually well you are right. I am not blogging per se now. I'm hiding in an obscure corner of the Tumblr world now, using it like Instagram (posting random photos of what I find interesting, what I eat, and random stuff). Why not Instagram, you ask? Because Instagram barred me from using it. The story goes like this: Once upon a time, 3 years ago (plus minus) I heard about this app called Instagram so I decided to download it on my dad's iPhone. I registered, signed in, didn't know what all the hype is all about (since none of my friends were using it then) and then proceeded to write an e-mail to Instagram, telling them I would like to deregister my account from Instagram. And they did =D - - - And last year when EVERYONE is switching from posting photos from Facebook to Instagram, I thought, oh let's create another Instagram account! When I did, they ...
