Deliciously Me
Putting the 'licious' in everything
Seriously, why on earth I’m in office right now? It’s not like I can’t afford to take leave nor I have plenty of work to do. So, why am I so hardworking? I should be staying at home, playing with Miilo and watching TV.
Or sleeping on my bed!
So drowsy and tired now. Listening to CNY songs hoping that it could counter the sleepy effect, unfortunately it didn’t. I feel it was a lil annoying in fact.
2 more days to weekend! ! !

Happy Water Dragon Year 2012!
Can’t believe that it’s new year already! My gooodness! I’ve barely made proper and enough preparation for this CNY. In fact I decorated the whole house on Saturday and went marketing for reunion dinner on Saturday night! What a last minute person I am! Haha!
Speaking about reunion dinner, this year I cooked lesser dishes due to the fact that we’ve booked a pot of poon choy from Dragon-i. It’s not like I’m lazy or what – I’ve actually googled all 8 dishes’ recipes and totally looking forward to cook them! But then we’ve bought the voucher and the voucher valid up to 22nd January, by 2pm! Oh well, will be saving those recipes for next year reunion dinner then! 
Yesterday we went up to granny’s place to pay respect to our ancestors. Right after the prayer we had to rush to Queensbays to get the poon choy. By the time we reached home, it was already 3pm and immediately we started the last minute house cleaning. Hung all the last minute decos, bathed Miilo and blew dry him, and mopped the floor, then off to the kitchen to work on the prawns and cutting the vegetables.
As I was checking my Facebook wall feed, the house phone rang. He picked up the phone and answered in perfect English politely.
I smiled, as old thought came to me.
4 years ago, sitting at the back of the lecture hall with my good friends Wenyan and BoonHui, we were talking about guys while the lecturer taught in front. We spoke on the type of guy we hope to date. All three of us were single back then, so it’s not a surprise that this topic was brought up.
If not mistaken, they mentioned of hoping to meet someone that cares, loves and treats them well. Not forgetting, he must be intelligent too.
As for me, I told them I would like someone who can speak English very well cz I want him to order food for me.
All laughed and said, ‘why? You can’t order on your own is it?’
I replied, ‘can BUT I prefer him to do for me. Gentleman mah’ – and I laughed too.
Little did I know, I truly gotten a man who speaks excellent English. Prolly Cupid passed by and granted my wish by shooting ‘love arrows’ to both of us, lol!
Oh my, my English speaking man had ended his call. Time to hit the mall!
Hello world! Today’s New Year Eve! It’s time for yearly reflection and I shall let the photos do the reflection for me instead of words. Haha!
1. Awesome weekend gateway to Medan! Breathtaking scenery along the way to Lake Toba.
2. I saw Jay Chou with my own eyes!
I’m not a coffee lover. I love sniffing at freshly brewed coffee; I could drink few sips but not to the extend that I would call myself a coffee lover or coffee addict.
Yesterday, my dear Satkuru brought me to this coffee shop located at Bishop Street. He went there for food review on Sunday and wanted me to try their coffee as the owner is the best barista in Malaysia.
Since we have 2 hours to kill before meeting up with event planner from Cititel, I agreed and off we went to this quaint coffee shop, Lighthouse Cafe.
Upon entering, my nose caught strong whiff of coffee. Mm~
The place is small but cosy. Dim yellow lights are shined on the wall to create warm ambience. Tables and chairs are smartly placed at both sides, giving walkaway in the middle. If I’m not mistaken, there’s a staircase leading up, but I’m not too sure on that. We walked in and headed straight for the counter. That’s when we heard someone called our names.
We turned and to our pleasant surprise it was EMILY!
We laughed, and I walked to her and had a little chat before was asked to place order. I looked at the green board on the wall behind the counter to see if there are any “Must try/Recommendation/Best” icons beside the drink names.
Can’t recall if I see any but I ended up asking the gentleman behind the counter on what are recommended at Lighthouse. He named me 3 – Butterscoth Caramello, White Strawberry Mocha and Coffee Hazelnut Mocha – if my memory doesn’t fail me on the last recommendation.
