Wow, it's been a week!

TIME

time flies
waste time
found time
lost time
timeless
time bomb
against time
ahead of time
gain time
in time
in good time
kill time
make time
keep time
mark time
on time
out of time
time of life

Bolehland!

When I was in Primary 6, the teachers encouraged us to subscribe to the Star Newspaper from the school. Retail price was RM1.20 and we got ours for about RM0.80 or so. It was to cultivate a reading habit among us primary school kids. So every day we'd get our copy and guess what was the first thing most of us did?

That's right! We'd turn to the comic section! Haha. Somehow most of us were faithful readers of that column. It was something that appealed to us kids. They say, "Old habits die hard." Up till today, comics still have a place in my heart!

Bolehland.com is a place where two guys express their epic journey in Malaysia and I'm proud to actually know one of them! Dankhoo... One of those from my primary school days (a.k.a. the Star Newspaper comic days). 

If you're one of those who have a particular interest in the lifestyle and issues in Malaysia, what better way to read about them than in the form of a comic strip. Click on the strip below to visit their website :)

Fat Spoon!

FAT SPOON CAFE
Grandma's recipe + Good coffee

Yesterday, Jamie and I had a delicious, hearty meal at Fat Spoon Cafe in Damansara Utama. Had driven passed the cafe one and its sign board caught my eye. So yesterday evening, Jamie and I decided we'd pay Fat Spoon a visit.
 



Standing at the door, she pointed our that its door was full of character. We admired the design of the shop from the outside and their doorknob in the shape of a spoon got my attention.

As we walked in, we were mesmerized by the interior design of the cafe. It truly reminded Jamie of her grandma's house! Especially the cupboard behind the chair she sat on!


 


Ooi, the owner of the shop, said this was their family business and her daughter, Chelle & her boyfriend managed the design of the place. 


We sat down and were wondering, "Where's the menu?" only to find this:






Now, this place had attitude. It was so impressive and we could wait to try some of grandma's recipe!

Here's what we ordered:

Grandma's Lou She Fun
Nasi Kampung
Awesome DIY Popiah!
By the time we've finished playing, we rolled our popiahs and ate them. Good thing grandma didn't come out to tell us not to play with our food! *winks*

*burp!*
We were so full and felt so loved...

We can't wait to go back for the Good Coffee that we missed yesterday!

Happy Valentine's Day


Sonnet 18
By William Shakespeare


For those of us who studied literature or who have read Shakespeare, 
we would have learned that Sonnet 18 is one of the most memorable love poems.
The poet loved his lover so much that he wanted her beauty to remain eternal. 
Every time someone reads this poem, his lover's beauty lives again.
His creativity has set his love for her in stone.

To those of you who celebrate this day with your loved one,
may you have a great time expressing love & appreciation to one another.
May you learn to love like our great poet did!

To those who have not found that someone special, don't fret! 
Keep hoping and dreaming for that prince charming to ride on his white horse to rescue you.
Or, keep looking out for that damsel in distress who's yearning for you to be her hero.

There's much to learn about love!



p/s: This post is also  a tribute the late Prof. Lim Chee Seng from UM who taught us Shakespeare with full passion and related to us the works of this great writer in ways that brought the writer and us closer thus kindling within us a love for his works.

Hellooooo! :)


Welcome to my blog where you'll read of all the fun stuff under the sun!

Why Chasing Pretty Rainbows?
Because, when I was young, I heard a song my mom sang and there was one line that went, "Are you tired of chasing pretty rainbows?" It was then I realised there's so much in life that we pursue and where else better to jot them all down to share with the people that matter!

May you enjoy your journey here :)
