Fantastic Rendang, and very shiok sambal… woot! Haha, thanks to all the constant raving on ping.sg shoutbox about Hjh Maimunah restaurant thats located in Jalan Pisang. (There is another branch located at Joo Chiat Road) I went to have a taste of the food myself today! Haha, no, I din had dinner alone… but with the company of 3 other people – Hendri, Adrian and Sylv ! Hee…

Sylv is our guide, because the rest of us simply don’t know how to get to the restaurant… It was some distance from Bugis MRT station, but its simply worth it to visit the place… cos the cost of the meal is very reasonable for 4 people! Our food, minus the desserts and it cost $14.50 ! For four persons… haha, and yesh, u can work out the figures on your own haha… LoL …

Oh yes, not to forget the pictures

Before we tuck into the delicious food…

After the meal… We finished everything we ordered… The Rendang was shiok, curry vegetables, the tahu talor (is that how u spell it?), the stingray as well as the sambal… =D hehe… though we were feeling full, we manage to polish off some super sweet desserts… hee XD

What’s Adrian doing ?

Me trying to get rid of the skin on that piece of stingray

That’s Hendri trying to peel prawns with utensils

Haha, and yes, overall, we enjoyed the dinner, chatting and all =)

Would love to share this with all of u… My aunt compiled a lovely booklet and gave it to me on my 21st birthday, and I would never forget what’s written in there…

Lessons of Life:

I feared…

…being alone until I learned to like myself…
…failure until I realized that I only fail if I don’t try…
…success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself…
…people’s opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway…
…rejection until I learned to have faith in myself…
…pain until I learned it is necessary for growth…
…the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies…
…life until I experienced its beauty…
…death until I realized that it is not an end, but a beginning…
…destiny until I realized that I had the power to change my life…
…hate until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance…
…love until it touched my heart, making the darkness fade into endless sunny days…
…ridicule until I learned how to laugh at myself…
…growing old until I realized that I gained wisdom everyday…
…future until I realized that life just kept getting better…
…the past until I realized that it could no longer hurt me…
…the dark until I saw the beauty of the starlight…
…the light until I learned that the truth would give me strength…
…the change until I saw that even the most beautiful butterfly had to undergo metamorphosis before it could fly.

And after reading it, I realized that it very much applies to me… and just about almost everyone else…

What fears do you have?

haha, guess I have been missing for 1 1/2 days in blogosphere… wonders if the folks miss me at the ping.sg shoutbox? hahaha…

Yesterday was spent at my auntie’s house in toa payoh, and then off to orchard road for a movie with Hendri… We decided to watch 28 weeks later… at Lido cineplex, Shaw House.. and all was well at first… we even ate subway as dinner, before the movie started… Honestly, after the movie started, my dinner almost went the wrong way out…

The show started with a family being attacked by the infected… my god, the sound effects started to freak me out la… and the looks of the infected are erm gross… I could take the grossness, but the sound effects started to un-nerve me. =X Almost halfway through, I give up watching the film, and it is the very first time I walked out halfway of the movie… Hendri also can’t take the flim too, and we walked out together.

What was thought as an exit turned out to be a toilet. Uber embarrassed, we gingerly made our way to the main entrance, and when we got out, it felt really great… Of course, emotions got the better of me and I kinda burst into tears… cos I felt uber grossed and terrified… and to me, that was the worse scary movie I ever been to… =X

It took me a while to calm down, and chocolates definitely helped…

I was reduced from a Human to Chicken in about 28 mins.
