RIP Uncle


A friend's father passed away yesterday morning after a long battle with cancer.  He fought hard and strong from the day of diagnosis, fought through unexpected complications from the initial surgery, fought through radiotherapy, chemotherapy.  Not single complain about not being able to eat and enjoy food as a normal person. Doctors had suggested ways to allow food in.  He once told the doctors - "It's ok, don't worry about food, I've not eaten for so long, just ease the pain, and I want to live"

RIP Uncle.
You're a role model to all humankind.
You fought hard and strong.
You showed us the real meaning of Treasuring Life and nothing is more important than having Health and Happiness.

You've given your best shot, now you can rest and enjoy your new journey.
As for us, we will continue ours, hopefully we can be as strong as you.

Tired of waiting...


04.08.13 was the day of the accident.  There were no major physical injuries.
Life has to go on. The show must go on, I kept telling myself.

Work as usual. Play as usual. 

I drove again within a day or two after the accident. I've driven on the same road a few times but I still avoid that particular turn till today.  The bruises have cleared but the marks are still visible vaguely.  

The new car should be available this week but I'm still waiting... some delays in the registration process. It's quite normal apparently. It never bothered me in my previous car purchases but this time I was really agitated, it's like every additional day of waiting hurts a little bit more. 

I'm tired of waiting. I'm sick of waiting.  It's been four long months.  Although, I think subconsciously allowed myself to take it slowly, not wanting to rush things.  I thought I needed time to 'recover' and accept the circumstances..so to speak.

I needed time to accept that I should let go of the car, proceed with insurance claims, browsing and choosing the next car, deciding to wait or not to wait for the the old number plate, final decision on the the new car, waiting for loan approval, 

After signing the loan agreement and paying the down payment I became more and more excited.

When I officially applied and paid for a new registration number W####H, it kind of a officially signified that I'm ready to move on.  New car. New number.  


I'm Ready!


It was suppose to be Tuesday, latest Thursday.


Thursday came..it was still not ready :(    I think I went into depression... Grrrr...


Feeling better now after a good evening out.  Should get over the weekend pretty easily.  Hopefully, all will be sorted out, and I can drive home the new babe on Monday.  Fingers Crossed.

Livers!


Dad bought a whole tray of chicken livers and requested that we should have them for dinner.
Yucky...



I cringed while preparing them, yet, I was in a good mood and was determined to be a good daughter.

Meanwhile, I had no idea how to make them delicious and there aren't many Chinese dishes examples in the net.  Mostly are western dishes like these - HERE

After some comparisons, I concluded that Onions should be the must-have ingredient with livers.  With some common sense and my so called culinary experience, I believe there should be lot's of Gingers too.






Dad says I should cook them with the vegetables.  Again, my "culinary" gut feel tells me that I should not cook them together. And, I should cook the vege first.



Ta-daa....



Looks quite good right? Well, Dad didn't complain.

But...they are still livers to me.  Euw...

Recommended New Cafe (Kid) on the Block


There are more and more new cafes in town and even out of town.

Good news for us coffee lovers.  It may seem expensive to fork out RM7-10 or 11 for a such a small cup of coffee to some, well, only us coffee junkie will understand.

Hey, there are more serious coffee lovers out there who pays much more for specialty coffee.  I've yet to reach that level.


Anyway, here are two new kid on the block, less than 6 months old.  Currently, my top favourite. Mainly because the coffee suits my taste and location is very convenient to where I hang out and about.

Fascia


Alas, found something (finally) that concludes, summarise and explains all that I've learnt and gone through with my aches and pains over the years of being physically active.


Read more HERE

Please find some time to read through, relevant to all, regardless of whether you've an active or inactive lifestyle.

Fascia reacts to how we treat our body and muscles - how long we sit, stand, run, walk, hence, dictates and impacts our movements and flexibility.

Do you name your car?


Not too long after the accident, my friend's husband asked if I had a name for the car, "do you call it BABYYYY..." - he asked.


Just a while ago, another asked if my new  'BABY' is arriving soon.


LOL.

While I spent a lot of time in my car, and I do love each of them as my loyal travel companion, I don't think I have a name for them.


Well, I'm especially passionate about the last one cos I really was madly in love with it before thinking real hard and finally decided to pay so much more just to have it.  Plus, it also has a very special license plate bearing my name initials.  So, I often referred it to WSLXXXX.


So, what shall I call the next one?

It should look something like this, unless I change my mind (again) in the next few days :P
