Hazy day

Such a hazy day today.  If only the air doesn't feel as humid, I would fancy myself in Genting or something.  The visibility is pretty bad too,  I tried to capture it on my N80 but... I don't know, it looked like some random scene photos. 

The building behind the middle lampost should look clearer on normal days. 

Uuuh... random picture of alamanda shrubs. Yeah, my parking spot is pretty scenic despite being so damn annoying and far. I got another parking ticket today for displaying outdated ticket! YIPPIE!!!

Dinner today, we had a pot luck which I had a good time eating. There were chicken, some mysterious other stuff, and pasta which was delicious. But, no picture since its a no no to take photo @ my workplace. 

But... I did went for a late night supper @ 2.00am of...

Nasi Lemak!!! With Pepsi Max... 

Where else if not at KFC!

Its a pretty decent Nasi Lemak if you ask me. I can't remember what it cost (I also bought 4 large Cheezy Wedges to take home) The rice isn't too lemak, the cucumber is fresh and cut pretty thick, the boiled egg is like a boiled egg, the friend chicken is a nice addition. Just the sambal. The make very thick sambal. The ikan bilis is delicious but this batch I guess had a tad too much salt and I am the salty kind. 

I finished all of it of course, because my momma taught me never to waste food! But overall, it is a good nasi lemak and the portion is decent too. Of course, it wouldn't compare to your corner stall nasi lemak with sambal kerang and sambal sotong options but for something different in the early morning at KFC, you can try this. 

Because home has some stove issue at the moment and I am lazy to double back to the market (which opens 24 hours) I went to 7 Eleven to buy some food stuff for tomorrow's breakfast. 

2 loaves of bread
2 bottles of milk (1 choco, 1 fresh)
2 packets of peanuts
1 packet cream cracker biscuit
A small margerine tub
A small peanut butter tub

... cost me RM40.00!!!  I know this is sign of age when I did a mental calculation and deduced that if indeed I actually doubled back to the market, I would only spend RM15.00 on the same thing, not to be extreme. 

I know, I know. Its 7 Eleven, what do you expect. But its funny how wide the counter girl eyes were when I parked in front of the shop. I guess I was too fast and too furious at the break paddle =P

On the last note, I try not to believe in old wives tale. But earlier today my left hand was suddenly itchy for no reason at all. I rubbed it once and try not to think about it much. But when I went to my car, I got a parking ticket. Can't help it if the damn machine being so anal on what kind of coins is accepted. This is my second ticket, totalling RM120 in all. Gila kau! Duit terbang just like that! So sad :(

Talking about cats...

I am such a cat person. I love cats. Heck, I even play with alley cats if they are friendly and clean enough. But I'm a busy person and I have commitment issues when it comes to cats because I hate the sense of lost you feel should the cat go missing one day, which is often in my experience growing up. I remember crying so hard whenever a pet cat goes missing or even worse, dies. Its like a mental issues now. Cats are unreliable, don't love them too much.

Even when I have a cat now, I just deal with it like ok, feed it, light pat on the head, watching its antics from the side, gentle stroke on its back and that's it. But really, I am a huge cat lover and would have a choice of owning a cat, I want one of these..

Picture from Animal Pictures Archive

It is a Japanese Bobtail. Characterised by a bob of a tail (not crooked or anything, just a tiny nub of a tail) and thicker, strong hind legs.  It also has an extremely charming personality for a cat. 

The thing is, there was a stray that came to our house one day back when I was in secondary school that decided to make itself at home. Back then, I have no idea that it is in fact a rather rare breed. I just thought that this cat looks like a rabbit, so I called it Cabbit (yeah, silly huh). It became my pet for a long long time and its such a social little thing, he loves hanging around with me. Until one fateful day, it didn't come home for a few days. Being a male cat, I had thought he was making his rounds, sowing some wild oats. But after a while he was away longer than usual and finally clicked in my mind that I need to get worried. I had thought that he had enough of us and decided to find a better home.

Until my neighbour relayed a sad news that she found his remains after he was ran over by a car. She had 'kindly' threw his body into a rubbish truck too and it basically happened a week before she broke the news to my mom.

Since I didn't exactly saw him die, I didn't bawled my eyes out. But a loss non the less because like I said, for a cat, it is a very social thing and would love to hang out with me, sitting behind my shoulders and all. I miss that stupid cat and I still can imagine him being white with spotted black on his head and back, something like the picture. (The one in the picture is calico, what I had was black and white)

I only realised that its in fact a breed a couple of years back while going through an online cat lover site. *sigh* 

I was watching more cute cats antics on You Tube, thus this nostalgic talks on cats. This one is very cute. I guess its being Japanese upped a few notches on cuteness level, hahaha!

Maggi Goreng Ayam with Sirap Limau

The dinner take haha! This is getting into an obligatory update what I had for dinner... 

The same thing I always had almost every night...

Maggi Goreng Ayam... what a healthy choice. 

But wait! There is a difference today, albeit slight although you can't see it in the photo above. 

It is... 

Sirap Limau, instead of Kopi 'O' Ais!!

Actually, I am growing sick eating at the same place day in day out. I wanted to eat western stuff namely grilled chicken with whipped potato at The Walk. But my dinner buddy is broke, so I have to deal with this for another week. Blurgh!

Talking Miaows?!

This is too cute to pass by. I died watching this and went to kawaii neko heaven!

Nasi goreng pattaya and fried chicken with Kopi 'O' ais

Since this blog is supposed to be about me loving to eat and sleep, I share you what I had for dinner today. 

Nasi goreng pattaya and fried chicken with Kopi 'O' ais. 

Today I eschew from typicalness by ordering fried rice instead of fried maggi.  It was in fact a very heavy meal as it is but I decided, throw in a fried chicken, why won't you? I was feeling very greedy today, actually I was damn hungry for some reasons. I was like five on the Richter scale of hunger earlier so I got greedy so yeah.

The mortgages kids that always visited the same place as I do but would be sitting at a different table has taken to a habit of looking at my orders when the mamak brought it to my table. They will go oooh! aaaah! Look at me darling, this takes a lot of money to maintain yeah?!

Its definitely something heavy for lunch break, I know! But thank goodness I didn't fall asleep after dinner since I was so busy going all over the place so my presence is 'felt'. Haha, personal joke aside, this is what I had for dinner. YUUMM!

The blue hole

I don't know what I watched today but it really caught my imagination and its really amazes me how such places exist on our beautiful planet. 

The Great Blue Hole of Belize. 

Mind boggling how it can be a perfect circular shape.

Actually, this reminds me of another mind boggling nature images which was forwarded to me by Dyb. 

Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Maggi Goreng Ayam dengan Kopi 'O' Ais. Nonton B13

This is what I had last Friday if I'm not mistaken. In fact, if I do go to Rahim's, this is what I would typically order. Not the healthiest dinner set, I know but its close to being a comfort food I need to last me the rest of the night. 

Anyhow, last friday, the noodles came to me with a surprisingly large amount. It's a lot. Usually, it's half of the amount you see in the picture. Like, the cook got angry or something and put in two packets instead of one. Which is fine either way because I finished them all! Yeah I did! Had another tough day at work, so I am gorging down food like nobody's business. 

I finished this while watching a French movie... what a choice for a Mamak's right? Well, its actually B13. All parkour action, its one of those action movies you must see. 

At least watch this just to check out how ripped David Belle is. *swoon*

Dining Etiquette: How To Eat A Mangosteen

I can't remember actually having to go through a dining etiquette eating the delicious Queen of Fruits. Press it between your hands and voila! Pry the two halves away and eat the sweet, soft inside. Of course, this would come with awful purplish juices that should it stain your favourite top, you can say bye bye to the top for good. Heh hee
