Nestum Butter Prawn for sahur anyone?

Experimented for the 2nd time... had this for sahur today.

Think it tasted much better than the last one and did justice to Sally's recipe.

But am still wondering how in the world nestum butter prawn kat kedai2 could be so crunchy and well rupa dia tak camni la...

I should add that tepung jagung/tepung beras kot.. gotta check with Sally and do the 3rd experiment...maybe not in the near future though.

This cooking for sahur stint..think I am not that bad lah... :)

Soul mates - Is there one for everyone?

2 weekends ago I was reading the New Sunday Times and came across an article in the Sunday Spotlight about 'What Women Want' .. Since I've not been contributing that many articles to be published anymore, I thought I would just give my 2 cents worth about the topic.

My view below was published in NST last weekend.

For a woman, fulfillment of the soul sets in when she finds someone whom she would have an emotional feeling of deep connection, friendship and compatibility. If companionship is what she's truly looking for, then the possibility of her brains being muddied by physical attraction would be less likely. Physical attraction could be the starting point. But developing that connection would be a different ball game altogether.

If there is a soul mate for every one of us, then they could cross our path when we're 10 or 70 years old. So we should all be prepared for a lovely surprise. But for those who don't like surprises, maybe the best is to quit looking for a soul mate. Instead, look for a partner who is willing to do the hard work of staying in love once the thrill of believing you found your one and only is a faint memory.

On the same note, I am currently 're-reading' Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert and found this quote about soul mates to be pretty interesting:

"People think a soul mate is your perfect fit, and that's what everyone wants. But a true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that's holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life. A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. That's too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then they leave."

Very recently, I have indeed found my 'sole mate'.. hehe..Bought these from Zett and totally loving em! :) My first pair of Pied A Terre... could have gotten my first pair of Jimmy Choo's (at half the price that's why rela nak consider..) if I had Cinderella's feet instead of the stepsister's.. ;p

So... if 'soul mates' are just like 'sole mates', would there be one soul mate or many soul mates that would cross our path?

..... Pause to reflect... bout the topic AND the sandals... hehe..

At the crossroads

I think I am..at the crossroads of life.

Too early to be here?

Maybe..

Been asking myself like where would be the final destination that would give me the fulfillment? What is the future that I am longing for? How am I going to get there?

It could be because things have been very much routine. Not that routine is a bad thing. But there comes a time when routine could be dramatically changed by fate.

Hence when I think that I could be at a dead end, I now find myself to have actually reached a crossroads = a place for transformational points in my life, and relate to time and choices + a place to go unblock my path.

But here I am.

Just standing at the crossroads looking at the possibility of going through that journey.

Yet overwhelmed with fear of taking the next step.

Which route would it be?

Hmmm...

Futsal Camaraderie!

This entry is long overdue.. want to cerita but the cerita all basi already...

Anyhoo....in summary:

1. We lost - ALL the games.. siap kena blasah teruk ngan geng makcik2 lagi...

2. We lost - even the best dressed - we were like the clear winners but due to some rasa ketidakpuashatian well, we lost..

3. Yes, we're like losers of all losers and should go into hiding for a couple of months

BUT...

yeah.. even as losers... we had fun! Instead of moping around and behaving like losers, we were like champions when it comes to taking pictures and heckling the other teams.. haha..

Pancit like mad but kinda enjoyed my 1st futsal stint. Would not mind jadi muka tak malu and main again if there is a team who would want me to be one of their players.. :)

Lesson learnt: Never underestimate the makcikkkkssssss............... hehehe

Team Kakak2 and Makcik2 from KL branch was the first to blasah us 3-0!

Team yg kitaorg confident boley buat lauk... last2 kitaorg gak yang jadi lauk...

The Credit team... slightly better than us... maybe next year we can beat em'... ;)

The underdogs..The Champs from Jabatan Khidmat Bayaran... the guy is the coach..nampak je camtu tapi gile garang masa team masuk main...

And here comes the Shiny Happy People.. The Losers...muahahahahha... ;p

Strategizing for next year?

Konon ganas la tu...siap ada calit2... the only scary thing about us was how we played! hehe
