The B-Side of My Mind

I was watching the Food Network this evening when the sticky bun recipe came up. It made me salivate, like seriously! She even beat Bobby Flay on the Food Network's Throwdown with this sticky bun. I found the recipe and again, I am gonna try it. I think there is like half a dozen of recipes that I am waiting to try.. Joanne Chang's famous stickybun It's already 9:11pm and I need to sleep early. Gonna wake up early tomorrow morning for my weekend run. See, after the Borneo International Marathon last May me and my friends signed up for the TMBT Ultra Marathon challenge but we signed up for the 25km. I don't think I'm ready to go beyond 25km yet hehehe. I hope this slight headache that I am having right now won't worsen by tomorrow morning or else I will probably have to cancel my run *fingerscrossed!* Feast your eyes on the stickybun.. I hope you won't be salivating on the picture haha!

Last sunday MJK came over to have dinner with the family. Mom cooked vegetable, fish and soup. I didn't really felt good having him come over to eat my mom's cooking. So what I did was bake :) Since it was a last minute kind of thing, i made the simplest thing I know - APPLE PIE. I made 15 apple pies! distributed to my sister's family, kept 7 to ourselves and packed 4 for MJK to bring home later. You can't bake apple pie without apples. This is instant apple mix. I bought the one ready in a can hehe.. I main buyuk this time :P The pastry ready to go into the oven. The pies half cook. After 18 - 20 minutes in the oven.. . . . . . Tada!! But it doesn't look good as it taste because my filling was too much haha.. It exploded while it was cooking :D Next baking experiment will be Cheesecake!

This is what i brought for lunch today: 1. Papaya 2. Boiled cauliflower cooked with chicken fillet (minimal amount of oil used) And this is what i ate: 1. The two items above 2. A slice of pizza (personal pan size) 3. 1 Pizza Hut hot wing Upset. Me and my friends had lunch at Pizza Hut (Likas branch) but some of us (including me!) brought our own lunches there. I am so upset. Another diet gone bad. But it's ok lah. I won't allow myself to snack around like a mouse this evening. Oh, and because i'm going to be at the office until late, say 8.30pm i even brought my dinner with me to work - a sandwich. I used whole meal bread that i bought at Consfood (their new outlet in Likas near Taman Yakim Jaya) with lettuce and hotdog. The ones without cheese. I hate those. Oh, and just awhile ago a colleague of mine was going out she asked whether i want a yo-yo and i said No :D I am upset yet happy & proud of myself. Does it make any sense? :-/ Anyways, another 2 weeks or so till...

So last night i went to the movies with my brother to watch Despicable Me. I love the movie.. so funny! :) Anyway, since i'm now trying to lose some weight i am now so carefully selective on what i eat. So before we left home to the movies i ate a plate of papaya: Wahh, so healthy!!!! i was so proud of myself. Then came the thinking, what if i get hungry in the cinema? i dont want to go out and buy a box of popcorn during the movie.. so i packed keropok inside a ziplock bag: ..and i finished it all by myself. Diet rosak terus! hahaa... so much for dieting, huh?

Like i mentioned yesterday, i am gonna make dinner for my birthday.. and i did. Since i had little time to prepare a good meal, I cooked the simplest yet scrumptious food that i know and they are pasta and salad. Birthday dinner ended up being just me and my folks. My sister and her family came late, and my brother had to work til 10pm. Pasta. I sprinkled some parmesan cheese on the pasta and pop it into the oven for 5 minutes. Cheese on pasta. Chicken salad: lettuce, potato, tomato and shredded chicken with thousand island dressing The only food that i didnt cook Ooooh.. look at all the cheese! Now you see it.. Now you don't.. It was a simple dinner but i had a good time with my folks having dinner and catching up with things, having real conversations with them. Although we all live under the same roof we rarely sit down and enjoy our food at the table. All of us have our own different time to eat and sometimes dinner will be infront of the TV - a bad habit, i know. So it was nic...

Look what was waiting for me when i woke up from my afternoon nap: Fresh fruits from the trees! all the way from Kota Marudu.. An unriped papaya, durian and no, its not langsat. it's longkong. I dont know how to differentiate langsat with longkong but thats what my dad said. He's the fruit expert in the family, i only know how to eat them :) For dinner, we're gonna have fish and pumpkin - from our own pond, and backyard. The hungry fishes in my Dad's pond, waiting to be fed (if only they know one of them will be my dinner tonight hehe) I thought Dad was going to catch only one.. he caught three! two for us and the other one for my sister and her family The pumpkin, just before i do the honors of plucking it. ..Dinner would be a one fine meal tonight :) ♥ P.

The annual SASS Alumni Homecoming event happened last saturday. My parents, aunts, uncles and cousins went. The homecoming event started since friday til sunday. I went to the friday night concert. We (my parents and i) were late but it's ok, we still get the watch a few acts before it ended. I met alot of friends there, although i am not an alumni of SASS. (Im an alumni of SM ALL SAINTS. yes, im a saint hehe) It was good to see them. On saturday, we didnt attend church at Tamparuli. My folks said they'll attend the afternoon program. I didnt attend the afternoon program coz it was freaking hot. So i stayed home that afternoon. But in the evening i went there for the evening program.We didnt stay til the end of the program though coz it was getting late and we had another place to go to. We went to Alamesra's Seremban Seafood Restaurant for supper coz we were still hungry. I had Mee soup ikan..i think most of us had that. since the time was already approaching 12am, mau h...

..Not me la! my cousin hehehe. She's flying to Penang on monday for her nurshing course at Penang Adventist Hospital . So, there was a farewell party made for her by her parents and all relatives were invited. I realized when i was transferring pictures from my camera that Rennae (the one who's leaving) wasnt in any of my pictures. LOL! Shortie.. we all have short hair now (i meant, them.. my hair has been short for oh-i-dunno.. 2 years already?) One of the many dishes we had that night.. IKAN BAKAR! yum! ♥ P.

Last saturday, Witness Wide was in Donggongon SDA Church, Penampang. We sang a about 8 songs and after church service, we had lunch together with the church members of Donggongon church. There was also cake! since it was mothers day, they decided to celebrate it on that day too. Anyways, here are some pictures that were taken on that day at church: Kimberly & I Witness Wide members: Chervy, Sharoline, Benedict & Bandy Yours truly. I like the paintings on the wall! so creaatiiiive! The mothers day cake that day.. I only had a small piece of cake :D im so proud of myself On the way down of the building, i saw this written on the walls (ni mesti keja budak-budak yang teda keja) Click on the picture for a better view of the written words. Dont ask me, i cant make out the words either.. especially the ones below. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- That night, our family (dad's side) celebrated Mothers Day - potluck style. Most of us ...

Yes, there is now an Arabic fast food in KK called "Alladin". My bestie told me a week or so ago about this but only last sunday when i was at 1Borneo ( again) for a movie with my brother (we watched Watchmen) i saw this stall when we were about to make our way to the exit. I got all excited because i dont get to eat shawarma everyday.. and the closest shawarma is in the Philippines. I ordered one chicken shawarma and out of my excitement.. ..i got dissapointed. The shawarma wasn't the shawarma i expected it to be! :( I mean. in terms of how it taste. It looks like your regular shawarma but it taste awful. I felt like i was eating a chicken burger in the form of a shawarma!..The pita was too thick and i had a hard time chewing it. I did not like it at all. I wanted to fly to the Philippines that instant just for a shawarma. Alladin Arabic Fast Food.. thats the first and last time for KK middle eastern food for me The menu. I know it's hard to read from the picture....

I meant to post this earlier, but as usual procrastination got the best of me. Last saturday, me and my cousins went to GSC 1Borneo to watch City of Ember at 11.30pm. We got there early, at around 10.15pm. So we circled around 1Borneo in search of food. Since it was late, every shop was starting to close down. When we stopped at California Grill, the first thing we asked was "mau tutup suda ka?" hahaha.. when they said no, we straight away went inside and this was what we ordered: Lemon tea for the three of us Ceaser salad Seafood pizza I enjoyed the food there, and i must say the price wasn't as expensive as i thought it would be..Ceaser Salad was RM10.90 and Pizza (regular) was RM19 After having supper, we went up to GSC and watched our movie. After movie, i was suppose to meet some friends at KK but when i texted them, they were already home and said that i was late hahaha. I told them i'll join them next time.. tomorrow never dies right? :) ♥ P.
