Diary of My Brother

One of the few English books (or rather, the only English book) that my brother reads is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. And it's a really good book =D Funny, witty, dumb and also cute. They even made a movie out of this book, so that must be saying something right? Two movies. Out of a children's book!

Haha so I was reading one of the books just now, the latest installment, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. My brother was so enthusiastic about the book that he bought it in hard cover =.=

Tada! When I open the book, guess what I saw?

 If you still don't get what I am talking about, my brother crossed out the author's name and written in his own name. Sometimes he can be really funny XD

Nothing much is happening with my life boring life now. Job searching isn't successful and... I dunno lah. It's hard.

That day we also had a mini family reunion. A pre-delivery celebration for my cousin. She made delicious laksa (had 1 1/2 bowls of it and I was bloated!) and made blueberry muffins which she let us tapao home =) Her secret to fluffy, soft and tastiest muffins ever? Use good qualify extra virgin olive oil (She uses Covatina). Usually when we bake muffin, we use normal cheap oil like sunflower and that's why our muffin isn't as delicious as hers.



Freshly baked muffins!

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...
