It's Just Sugar Coated Dough

For all the doughnuts fans out there, the good news is Krispy Kreme is finally here in KL. To me, it's just another doughnut chain trying to beat other doughnut chains.

The Sun reported that a 17 year old-who-obviously-has-too-much-time-to-waste gathered 5 friends to camp for a freaking 65 hours in front of the store at Berjaya Times Square just to win 1,236 free doughnuts. Of course they win all the six prices offered for the first 300 customers!


Seriously, can you really wallop all the doughnuts? Just because they are free? Or you are so generous as to distribute it to your schoolmate to prove how cool (or in my point of view, how stupid) you are? It's about time you grow up! Now you may look like a skinny 48 kg girl but soon will turn into some obese teenager like those where Krispy Kreme is originated from. It's perfectly alright to occasionally indulge in doughnuts but not for 365 days!

And people forming a queue longer than the Nile River just to buy sugar coated dough? Like duh! What's going on with the society nowadays? Come on, the store will not close down as long as they have customer like you! So what's the rush? Just because everybody is so into kiasusm these days and must get a taste of the first bite?


Do something worth your time instead of wasting it away like this. Engaged in a healthy activity or volunteer in any charity organization, and you will never look back few years later down the road regretting some stupid stunt you did for a 1/2 page fame in the local newspaper!

Pumpkin Rice with Roast Chicken

This is the first cooking for the year. After having to eat bread and take-out for most of the weekend, it's time to take a break from the outside food, I finally decided to try one of the recipe by my unofficial cooking sifu, PreciousPea. Check out her 'Pea's 6 Treasure Pumpkin Rice' here.


The ingredients: pumpkin, mushrooms, dried shrimps and chinese sausage


If you can't live without meat like me: add in some roast chicken


Stir-fry the pumpkin, mushrooms with garlic and shallots


Pour the rice in and stir till fragrant (not cook) and add in 1 teaspoon of salt


Scoop it up and put in the rice cooker and add in the appropriate amount of water


Saute the chopped dried shrimp and chinese sausage and put one side. When the rice is cooked, put in the roast chicken (sliced) and the dried shrimp and chinese sausage on top of the rice. Close the lid for 5 mins for the flavour to blend with the rice.


Stir it gently as the pumpkin is easily mashed. The sweetness of pumpkin compliments well with the rest of the ingredients.

Thanks PreciousPea for the recipe :)

Just for Laughs

He said to her: "I don't know why you wear a bra, you got nothing to put in it."
She said to him: "You wear pants don't you?"

He: "Shall we try swapping positions tonight?"
She: "That's a good idea, you stand by the ironing board while I sit on the sofa and fart!"

He: "What have you been doing with all the grocery money I gave you?"
She: "Turn sideways and look in the mirror!"

He: "Why don't women blink during foreplay?"
She: "They don't have time."

He: "How long does it takes for a man to change a roll of toilet paper?"
She: "We don't know, it never happens before."

He: "Why is it so difficult to find men who are sensitive, caring and good looking?"
She: "They already have boyfriends."

He: "What do you call a woman who knows where her husband is every night?"
She: "A widow."

He: "Why are married women heavier than single women?"
She: "Single women came home, see what's in the fridge and go straight to bed. Married women came home, see what's on the bed and go straight to the fridge!"

Received this in my inbox ... just sharing here for laughs. It's funny, me thinks :)

When Looks Ain't Everything

By now, most of you might have heard about the extraordinary 47 year old Susan Boyle from a small village called Blackburn in Scotland who participated in 'Britain's Got Talent' recently. She is currently unemployed and live with her cat name Pebbles :) She entered the contest because of her late mother who encouraged her to just do it.


Elaine Page

Some of the audience sort of roll their eyes including the judge, Simon Cowell (so what else is new from him) when she said her dream is to be a professional singer and be as successful as the English singer, Elaine Page.

She might look like a grumpy old woman with that frizzy hair and bushy eyebrows but when she opened her mouth, everybody was shocked and impressed with that voice hidden inside her! To listen to her amazing vocal, please click here. You will be blown away with that gem of a voice! I did.

Another reminder to all of us ... never judge a person by their appearance because looks ain't everything.

In Loving Memory

My beloved grandma passed away this morning after suffering from illness and bedridden for years. I am sad she's gone but at the same time relief that she does not have to suffer anymore pain. I will always remember our time together and the valuable lessons she taught me.

Rest in peace Grandma, you will be missed forever.

Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me;
your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
