Farewell

Will temporary postpone the Taiwan post...coz its taking me forever to finish editing the pics =.=

Anyway... A lil' pasta for now ^^

As you know, I've been into the internship program for the past six month. This coming Monday will be my last day. Thanks to the colleagues' persistence, we had a joyful and splendid farewell in this place I visited a long time ago. I hope you guys really enjoyed it ^^ It was a dinner, awkwardly, on a Thursday and only 4 colleagues made it there. It was fun anyway, quality time spent together, and made it memorable, and immortal.

Before we made our decision to go pasta-ourselves-up, we were exchanging food informations. As in-introducing nice foods, delicious stuffs and hangout places to share among us. Its amazing how we share the same passion for foods ^^ The small talks during the lunch time, 'tea-time' and times when I wander around the office and end up in Tridilab chatting + sampat-ing around.

Anyway, Back to Bel Pasto Pizza. Guess what? They have their own blogspot page *here*

Their Establishment, quality food, excellent service and good packaging.

The ambiance [note the hot guy there, thats the owner ^^]

That night was rather quiet there... Just nice for a gathering... not too quiet, not to crowd-y, nice light, nice food, dimmed light, cozy atmosphere. Everything seems to be perfectly organised for us to gather and enjoy. Ordered our food a lil' slow, because we cant make up our mind to decide what to eat. Everything seems to be so appetizing and irresistible. Soon after we settle down, crowds of people starts to come in. Lucky we made a reservation. ^^

...and finally...

The Appetizer

The soup of the day was Pumpkin soup, but they sold out. So, we ordered their signature Mushroom soup ^^ to serve with the Garlic Toast.

Of course, the chatters continue too...we talked about everything...Not literally everything..but I enjoy the conversations coz, 6 months is not short but its not long either to know each and every details of the company. And we were talking about nice foods, friends, vacation plans... We just couldn't stop, until the pasta arrives ^^

Different versions of pasta, Different Taste, Same Enjoyment. Dont you just love them? Carbonara, Salmone, Lasagna... Ask me and I'll describe it mouth-watering-ly delicious to u ^^

And their Signature Lamb Shank served with Risotto. Not too much herbs, not too mutton-y, not too much tomatoes, not too much seasonings. The whole combination is fine tuned to its perfection. 3 of us can't really stand the mutton's smell.. but they loved it. 10 thumbs up for this ^^

Last but not least - DESSERTS!!!

Its so true that girls have a million soft spots in them for desserts, so do guys!! Instead of sharing a slice of BPP's signature Tiramisu, which costs rm8.90 per [super big] slice, we decided to have a slice EACH...

There's another one across the table ^^

A chilled slice of Tiramisu, fresh from the fridge.. Set nicely on a slight curved plate... decorated with chocolate syrup and sieved with cocoa powder on top. It's just heaven!!! Ouh...and there's a way to eat it. Cut it a spoonful, take a deep breath, hold your breath...put that spoonful in your mouth and taste it slowly. The cocoa, butter finger, cream cheese will b all over your mouth and even your breathe.. Dont worry, you wont swallow that fast coz you will be so in heaven and got lost in your wonderland.

So far, It's the best Tiramisu I've ever tasted. Added up with great companions and food passionates... Worthy to be remembered as one of the best times in my life ^^

And, here's the before and after!! This reminds me of Christmas.. another pasta date? I'm fine with pizza too!!!

Love the Farewell, Love the Companion, Love the Laughters

Love you guys... and thanks for the AWESOME farewell dinner you guys threw ^^

Emotional Collide

Collision happens when 2 objects or individual crosses each other and left part of them behind. It simply reminds me of human relationships.friends. family. child. siblings. colleagues. a hero. pet. even the poor little lizard your car ran over weeks ago. Eventually, traces will be left behind physically, and emotionally. The greater the collision it is, the grander the collision will be.

good and bad collision happens, especially in arguments. People tend to think irrationally where harsh words and vicious emotions are unleashed. When anger controls your frontal lobe, and the grey matters- it means that you care. Those who deserves your attention wont trigger the switch; those who does, doesn't deserve your attention.

think it this way collisions are meant to happen, and it happens for a good reason. Harsh words, they might be emotional, it can be an effort to strengthen his/her point of view. They simply care too much, to the extend that it worries. i have got times that i would like to scold too. But, collision happens for a reason. think positively

Emotional collisionsare precious, as it will be carried to your tombstone. Since it is for eternal, shouldn't you drop the melancholy in your life? There certainly are reasons for angst, anger, maybe vengeance. What remains when blood is to vein? memories. Would you like to have to be remembered as an asshole? or an irritating bitch. It does sound harsh..but also, the closest description that is generally understood. first impression? it will last forever especially for those who collision happens once in your lifetime.

I know I have missed the 10th Sept post...its nothing fun actually.

This is the first birthday of mine, that I didnt get to celebrate with all the ones that i have, and having the most emotional collision with. Celebrating birthdays were always not on top of our family-to-do-list. Usually is the Sunday dinner. Dad works 24/7, hardly gets time with us. Birthday, doesnt really mean much until back in 3 or 4 years.

When we were in elementary, we begged for a birthday cake. Birthday celebrations were hardly pre-posessing coz i wasnt a people-person. Had a birthday party when i was..9 or 10. it sucked, of course Mom got herself busy from dawn till the party ends. from that time onwards, Birthdays, means an extra day off.

Got into college, kids growing up like pumping gasses...we started with Mom's bday. Got screwed too.. but it was fun. Getting together, dad heard the screwing part... then...Wil's...His was easy to remember, still easy now. Just because, his is special...March. The rest of ours were all clustered at the lower half of the year. So, I made a big deal as we tend to forget his birthday easily.

After Wil's, will be dad's. He would like it the conventional way. Hard boiled egg in a bowl of 'Longevity noodle'. Meg's, she requested quite alot. but this year, It was hard for her because...Its suppose to be happy. She was the closest with Wil..same elementary, high school, tuition classes, group of friends, clubs, sports...

On the contrary, I thought it will be easy for me. But, when I was in the particular night...I remembered how he begged mom to buy me a cake... Mom doesnt like it..but he thought that it will be nice for us to blow a cake together...with all the singing, though dad will still reach home late. It was always us, blowing the cake together ever since we started celebrating birthdays. Just a small one...lit up candles...sing to ourselves and make a wish

Sis insisted to buy me a cake this year...It was a raining thursday, just the two of us..Mom forgot coz she was busy with her work thing...Dad didnt realise [prob because i did not want to make a fuss over it] It tends to get harder when I decide to spend it quietly. With Meg over here...watching movies on the TV, chewing off chicken wings n drumsticks... It turns out less burdening...I didnt want to buy a cake this year...coz it will take me prob 1 whole year to finish it. Yet, Meg insisted and she bought me a slice. Its still in the fridge. Meg did excellent in this because Im pretty sure that Its more difficult for her...Its me, my problem.

Emotional collision are extensively hard to deal with, especially a collision that lasted for 17 years. More will come in the future. I still need some time to deal with it. Teary eyes are must-haves all the time. Sometimes...I even feel guilty for the happinesses Im getting. The collision should have lasted forever.

Mom's friend once visited...and I was fooling around with Meg on the couch. There she goes: 'How nice that both of you are so close together? My kids fight.' Im not sure what it feels like but I do hate that feeling. Awkward thoughts have always come up..How nice was it When I were not this close with Meg? Because when he is still here, he will be the middle person, literally and metaphorically. When people asks, do you have any siblings? I dont even feel like answering... Its a reflex to answer it for all these time.

Its time to change.

Time collision with you is a part of my life, my birthday, my dinner, my movie sessions, my not-people-pleaser-moments, my elderly-moments. Im sure it will continue, some day in the future.

I worry I won't see your face

Light up again

Even the best fall down sometimes

Even the wrong words seem to rhyme

Out of the doubt that fills my mind

I somehow find

You and I Collide

Happy Birthday to me

Featured!!!!

remember this? MSID 13 [Student Saturday] *here* & *here*

it was back in June 2008...and UCSI students were spotted in Kosmo!

[o.Olll] Thanks to Daphne who was reading the Nautical House project... and I cleverly flipped the page to the back of the book... and there I am!!!

Everybody has been blogging bout Earth Hour since 2 or 3 months back

Events tonight too!

Gathers in big shopping malls, department stores, restaurants, cafes

for the lights off for 1 hour thingy

Of course...I will still stay at home

Maybe watching some DVD i pulled out from the rack

or eating popcorns and do my bloody assignment

Heyy...its just one hour

Give Earth a break...will ya?

.

.

.

If u think like that, you are WRONG!!

Its not JUST Earth Hour...and absolutely not publicity!

Its to urge the decision making group of people,

that we are all in deep shit if we dont do something

Its to start, as a habit to reduce resources consumption.

Its to familiarize the people with moments of darkness,

and save the Earth.

Its for u to switch it off one hour now, maybe 10 in the future.

One switches off for 60mins

2 = 120mins

What if its 6 million people?

You can do the maths

p.s. switch off the bloody light ... dammit

Happy Birthday
