Yummy food + cholesterol

Given the fact that I am "trying" to eat healthy, I really shouldn't be watching so much cooking channel and salivating over the dishes. 2-3 weeks before my mom came over, I have been craving for crabs. See, a normal person would just go to any seafood restaurant, have the meal and be done with the craving, But me,no no no no. Lets just say that I enjoy it too much that some may find the way I eat crabs very gross. So when mom came over to KL, I dragged my mom to the market, bought the crabs and some salmon and after slaving for an hour in the kitchen, the result was oh-so-tempting

                                         

                                         My very own version of grilled soy honey salmon

                                         My sister's boring veggies

                                         Another of my sister's boring dishes

                                          And the star of the show, Mom's chili crabs

I think I ate too much that I need to get my cholesterol checked. Sigh, after you get to a certain age, after a hearty meal, you start to worry about how many calories you consumed, how much cholesterol, how much sugar. Gone were those good ol days where you get to enjoy those meals and not worry about a thing. Oh teenage years, how much I miss you.

Confessions of Girl with the Red Eye

I admit...


I listen to Taylor Swift

I don't comb my hair

I read blogs to make fun of people and have a good laugh

I don't think I deserve good things

I don't eat durians not because of the taste, but because of how much it stinks my mouth afterwards

I don't open Facebook not because of privacy but because someone chose to break my heart through Facebook a few years ago

I don't think Angelina Jolie is hot and I think Brad Pitt deserves better

I have two cool gadgets i have yet to fully explore (its been months)

I have a soft spot for disabled people especially children

I secretly want to migrate overseas

I sometimes doze off while sitting on the toilet during working hours

I don't really read the news but i glance through Yahoo! for quick updates

I am a pathetic people pleaser

I don't take a shower until late evening on lazy-lying-on-the-couch weekends

Hey Mr Spencer

Been so busy for the past few weeks. A lot of stuff happened but the most exciting of all....

Drum roll....

That's my new baby Spencer. Johnny is now back home in Penang under the care of my mom. It was heartbreaking for me to leave Johnny in Penang but I'm glad that I didn't have to sell it. I can still see him whenever I go back to my hometown. I have been driving Johnny for about 8 years and Johnny and I have been through a lot together. Johnny was there when I was homeless for 3 weeks, driving fast emotionally when I was an emotional wreck, got me to my 1st job interview, got lost with me driving around KL on my way to the interview for my second job and basically just getting me everywhere safely for the past 8 years. You'll always have a special place in my heart dear Johnny.

The process of getting my new car would be a lot easier if it was done in KL but I didnt want a KL plate number so I went back to Penang for 3 weekends in a row to settle all the stuff.

Weekend 1: Visit dealer during Thaipusam and did booking. Next day, went to the bank for application. Next Tuesday, loan approved.

Weekend 2: Federal Territory Day, so I went back to Penang to sign the agreement and a letter of consent for my dad to pickup the car on my behalf.

Weekend 3: CNY. Send Johnny home and bring Spencer to KL.

I was so broke last month that I took LRT to work for a week. Was fun not having to drive for a week. Its amazing that I didn't have to take any annual leaves to settle the car stuff. Its a small car and it wouldn't be on the top of my list if i had a choice but i'm happy with it so far and most importantly, its fuel efficient and my road tax and insurance won't cost so much.

Well, that's that and I will be forking out 500 bucks a month for the next 7 years. Its not much compared to what others are paying but I still won't be making my payments willingly let alone with a smiley face.
