Porridge vs Congee

I never knew there was such a significant difference between porridge and congee. At home, it was a habit to call congee porridge, or for the least in Malaysia its a common scene i think. Until today, I was making "porridge" when my neighbor walk into the kitchen and asked me what i was cooking. I answered porridge, then she was rather surprised i was cooking it with a rice cooker(lazy way, but it works).
She: what's inside
Me: water and rice
She gave me a disgusted look
She: that's not porridge, my dad cooks porridge with oat, water, barley,milk and sugar
Me: No, we cook it with rice and water
I went to google and realised I made a mistake
Me: Ok, this is congee, not porridge, my mistake
She: I still have no idea what is it. What does it taste like?
Me: It is suppose to taste rather bland.
She: Bland? *disgusted tone*
Me: It is meant for people who are sick. but you can add meat to have some taste in it. So definitely it can't be made out of milk, milk and meat ain't a good combo.

Well, congee and porridge is just too different. I will hate porridge definitely.

21st Bday Celebration

Being 21st is old, but celebrating it was awesome and memorable, once in a lifetime. Having a pre-celebration with my Uni mates was a great one. But having my sister and mother fly to Oz was just touching. Not to forget the presents that they brought along, makes me feel more sentimental. I had a great time with here, especially the awesome food we had. I am just so speechless, and will let the pictures.

21st pre-Bday bash

Gotta thank everyone for a great birthday surprise celebration, especially KPC, CI and MX, together with KY. As much as i anticipated and knew about it, it totally slipped my mind, thanks to my mom and sister. But it all turned out well, I was rather taken aback during the ambush, I got to say, guess one cant predict everything. If I was more observant, or at least more detailed, there would not be any surprise anymore. :) But as much as one can predict, one could never predict what other thinks. The present was AWESOME, a Nintendo DS. It was really unbelievable, made me really speechless. All I can say is Thank you.

Thanks for making this day an unforgettable 21st pre-celebration.

Cook attempt 2

Second attempt of cooking something special. The first was pancake now its cake. What's next? Hmm *think*........

The cake was nothing fantastic, but still edible. The cake was rather hard and dry and "lumpy", we did not have the mixer and didn't manage to whip it nicely. But first time actually baking a cake, so rather satisfied with the outcome.




FYI, Mary Poppins was a good musical. The singing was nothing prominent but the props was laudable, the dances was commendable too, with tap dancing and ballet incorporated into the play. They did change the plot a lot, but overall it was a good play, with really good props. :) I guess musical all not all about music then, or so for me, its not.

Week 3

It proceeds into week 3...

Things happen, people change, thinking sways, decision changes.

Assassin is back on. Some seems to be totally into in, some just could not care, while some just sore losers. It is really a good way to know people around the halls. But seeing this is the second semester, who know more people making it easier to plot against others. :)

Back to Malaysia 1

Wow, it's been 4 days since i've been home, and the different types of food I have eaten is definitely more than two hand full. I have eaten two types of Bak Kut Teh, fish noodle, steam fish, pork noodle, toast bread, steam fish, fried vegetables, nasi lemak, sa hor fun, curry chicken, grill fish, roti telur, leng chee kang and ciku etc etc. I can't even remember the long list. Oh and Dim Sum, not Dim Sim. :) Coming back to Malaysia was seriously a great idea, i'm really glad my mom made me come back. I just miss the food here so much. Nothing can be better than good ol Malaysian food.

I just came from my grandpa's old house. We were packing his stuff, trying to clear some of the stuffs, and i found quite alot of antique stuffs. My grandpa's was a photographer, and had many photography stuffs. No idea what to do with these stuffs, i feel like keeping it, but that's like wasting space. ><
