My Huge Family :D

It's been quite long since my last post.. I always intend to put a new post every day but due to works, environment and so on it quite hard to do so. Since "Durian feast" is still on-going at my house, it bright up my days too! I enjoyed it so much whenever my house were full with my people. As we gathered, its like we were having a party all day and night long!!With kids running around, a massive noise and a lot of FOOD, its really make my day!

Since almost every single day, my backyard were full with Durians, we create a new event here! It was call as "Tempoyak making session". This "tempoyak" making session was not only joining by adult but by kids too! One of my brother will tear the durian husk, another person will put it inside bowl, then we will start to separate the durian flesh and its seeds. This session taking a long time to finish as we got a lots of durians, so we put it into some shift! :P

During these Durian feast, most of my kids (nieces and nephews) enjoy it so much. After making the "tempoyak", normally their granny will grant them a night leave, which is going to the I-City (at my hometown). Here we will picnic and enjoy a night view of my hometown. Sometimes we will play soccer or volleyball together on afternoon.

As weekdays is back, so everybody disappear! :(  However, I got good news, one of my sister will coming back tomorrow with her kids! Yay, my house will get noise again! ^^~

King of Fruits!

Normally when we travel, what would be on our list? I've circulate this question around and basically the answer that I will get is a typical one which is of course places to visit, experience new culture and becoming food tester.

Becoming a food tester is not a new things. In almost every corner of the world we can taste different kind of cuisine due to the growth of foreign restaurants. That means no need to go to other countries still we can taste their cuisine. I knew some may disagree with me, tasting a cuisine from its origin is better as the cuisine taste is more authentic.

However, have you ever think about something else when you go travel, such as the taste of their local fruits?.For example in India, they were proud with a native fruit named "bael", while Thailand were widely known as  mango biggest plantation. I agree sometimes we can taste foreign fruits too as some countries export their local fruit worldwide but the cost for the fruit would be higher.

Anyway I'm not going to talk about those fruit but I will talk about my most proudly fruit which is "Durian". In South East Asia, Durian also known as King of Fruits. Durian can be in oblong or round shape, the husk of Durian normally in green to brown color. Durian flesh have distinctive odour which is a strong and penetrating stomach-churning odour.

Even though Durian have distinctive odour, the color of Durian flesh never fail to attract me! Durian is a seasonal fruit so we only can eat Durian during its seasons.  These days, Durian season is on at my country so wherever you go you can see people selling Durian.  For those who plan to visit my country, you can plan your visit during Durian's season so you can taste it here. For travelers who is present  (at my country) now don't miss a chance to taste Durian. Even it have strong ordor the flesh is savory and mouth watering! Nom Nom Nom ^^~~

p/s: My niece enjoying Durian so much! (picture)

LOVE at the first sight!

I believe in our daily life we hear music all of the times and every each of us have their own favorite music. Be it rock, pop, country, ballad, reggae or any other music genre,each of it have their own specialty. For me listening to the music is one of the best way to reduce my stress.

However did you know that through music we can recognize what kind of person we are?? People says anyone who love piano is a quiet person, but personally I disagree with that. I love piano melody very much but I'm not a quiet person! LOL. 

Perhaps those personality traits is just a coincidence. Some of it maybe true but after all it depend on the person him or herself. Anyway if any of you keen to know about personality traits based on music instrument, you can check it out here:

As I love piano melody, I listen to it all of the time and recently I found out about Yiruma. I felt in love at the first sight once I listen to his music. One of my favorite is Kiss the rain. My office mate telling me " this seems a sad melody, why would you love it?" My answer? Sorry mate, I also don't know why but I love this melody" hahah ^_^

P/s: William Shakespeare once said this through his character of Lorenzo in The Merchant of Venice: 

     "The man that hath no music in himself, nor is not mov'd with concord of sweet     

       sounds, is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils."

 I didn't own this music or video. Credit to the artist: Yiruma & video uploaded: xXYuNPoOXx

 Enjoy!

Experience Life threatening???

Sometimes when we were having a very hard difficulties and it seems there is no way to overcome the problem some of us might think " I wish I just die so that I don't have to face all of these anymore". Have you guys experience that before? I believed most of us had experienced that once in our life.

However let say if you were facing the life threatening after saying those words what would be on your mind?   For someone who never experience this situation they might think this is nothing but for someone who's experienced it, first come on mind would be "Dear God, please let me still alive, I still have a lot of things to achieve,then appear families faces following closest friends faces."

Their faces will keep appear every single minutes and we will think how we treat them before, is it good enough?? then we will think " I wish I apologize for my sins to everybody and says dear God, please don't take me away, let me says sorry to them first.

For me, experience a life threatening is such a nightmare but it give me a second thought of appreciate everything around me and treat everyone around me nicely. Last but not least, we should apologize to everybody every day since we never know what will happen and are we able to see each other again tomorrow.

Forgive & Forget

Every single day as a human being we tend to do a lot of mistakes whether we realized it or not, and for every mistakes we do learn something new. However its not easy for us to admit our mistakes due to certain of reasons, perhaps because of environment around us, gender, perception or our personal value itself. Some people may think by admitting our mistakes its like revealing our weaknesses to the others but if we think about it properly by admitting our mistakes it will help us to improve ourselves. For example you knew that you making a mistakes today, if you keep it all to yourself, you will get upset and end up having a bad day; by admitting your mistakes and asking for apologize you will feel relieved even though you might not know whether your apologize is being accepted or not. I know its not an easy things to do but its not too late for us to do it as we never know whether did we still get a chance to breath again or not tomorrow...

Forgive and Forget, may your day will be shine and bless always :)

Ohhh My, I'm crazy for these!!!

I start to fall in love with this things when my cousin, her friend and myself went to a Korean town at Ampang. At first I was like, what?? BANANA MILK?? How can possible I try this kind of drink??Instead of banana milk I try Black soy bean drink, then my cousin told me, "Babe you should try this! I guarantee you will become addicted to banana milk afterwards". After thinking for a second, I told myself why not I give a try?. At the very first sip, I was like Whoaaaaa!! What a very tasty drink I've ever tried entire of my life! If only I knew it tasty like this I would definitely bought this drink instead of Black soy bean! 

A few months later, I went to South Korea, first thing that pop up on my mind when I reached there is BANANA MILK! As soon as we touch down, I quickly went to their 7 Eleven (at Incheon airport) and grab one banana milk!The next day when we reached Seoul, I bought 3 bottles of banana milk and enjoy it. Whenever we get a chance to stop by at 7 Eleven or Family Mart, each of us will grab few of banana milk.  

After enjoying it for 8 days, its time to leave, I wish I can buy banana milk and bring it back to my hometown  but as there are rules for not bringing some amount of liquid so I decided not to buy. Since that I keep thinking when will I got a chance to drink banana milk again. Yes we can get it at Korean Town or at some big shopping mall around KL but I live at rural area, its not worth it if I go to KL for banana milk! 

Then out of blue, someone decided to visit me. Come to the surprise I got 6 pack of banana milk!! I was like wow!! I'm speechless! I'm touch! I'm out of words, somehow I cannot remember how to show my gratitude. Hahahhaha! Unbelievable! I enjoy every pack of it to the maximum! Thank you so much for bringing it to me, really appreciate it. :)

After a while, my sis in law told me that her friend was looking for South Korea information. On my mind was aha! Another chance to enjoy banana milk! I help her via FB and I am glad she enjoy her trip there. I wish I can be there too! Before she left, I ask her to buy some banana milk for me. She did and post to me :) Sound crazy isn't it? ^^~ 

Recently I went to Thailand, when I entered their 7 Eleven, my eyes keep glance around for banana milk, at first I couldn't see it, if only I snap my frustration face. ^^~, I slowly look at the rack again and guess what!! BANANA MILK!, I felt I wanna jump right there! Luckily I still manage to control myself! ^^~, hehe.. I bought 2 pack of banana milk and enjoy it. When we reached at Krabi, I bought another 4 pack myself. Then we heading to some other place, I bought another two pack! When we reach Phuket, I bought 20 pack of banana milk to bring back home!! Ohhh really I am addicted to it! Before leave I bought another 2 pack. ^^~ These days I got 14 pack left.. ^^~  However once I finish it I have to wait for few more months to enjoy it again T_T.. Anyway in the future I wish I can get it at 7 Eleven around my hometown! I hope I can get it easily everywhere I go :) I love banana milk! <3
