Lunch @ Mantra

This was some time ago..

Had lunch after some tiresome ice skating and self-inflicted pain in Sunway Pyramid..

Where?

Mantra, Sunway Pyramid.

What?

Restaurant & Bar

Cuisine?

Indian, Western, etc

I had mutton briyani.. The portion looked big, but felt very small.. It was tasty, though ;)

Dulcet ambiance.. Mellifluous music.. Bright, well-lit, magnificent view of the Sunway City.

You'll be fine

Surfing through the photographs..
It tells me a tale..
I followed you everywhere..
You never left me off you arms..
You fainted when you thought something was wrong with my arm, remember?
I'm sorry..
I was like your daughter, maybe I still am like that to your eyes..
But surely things have changed..
Because as I grew older, I felt lesser and lesser like your daughter..
I see you have a family now..
And you didn't address me the same way you did..
I may be young but I know what I hear..
Slowly I distanced myself..
You have done so much for me,
beyond comparison and comprehension..
You are one person I cannot go against..
And yet..
I was getting older..
More rebellious..
More capable of changes..
Resisting norms and averages..
And from then on..
I have been looked at as the bad child..
Nobody really voiced them out but you..
And such a young soul as me shouldn't be getting tempestuous with an uncle with a big heart like you..
But I did..
And I was rude..
What a crude child I was..
Not considering what you've done or what you have in store for me..
All I had in mind up till now was to go against you in every way possible
Even if it caused me unpleasantness..
Oh how wrong was I..
My deliberation is certainly amiss..
How could I cerebrate that way about someone who wanted the best and only that for me?
I want you to be alright..
You will be alright..
And that I know by heart..
I love you..

Dessert With Fei Chai

Eating out with fatty Visaghan is like a ritual to me. We both love food plus he's quite lifeless; having nothing much to do. I perform philanthropy. Get some life into him. This was in Honeymoon which serves Hong Kong desserts. They had very subtle tastes. The first picture shows some sweet balls with nuts filling. And the second is durian pancake. And hey, It's all about the sybaritic lavishness of the taste buds!

A Day With Darshene Brings Out The Kid In Me

Scamming Darshene in Secret Recipe ;)
I love you, kid!

Joke

Two priests decided to go to Hawaii on vacation. They were determined to make this a real vacation by not wearing anything that would identify them as clergy. As soon as the plane landed they headed for a store and bought some really outrageous shorts, shirts, sandals, sunglasses, etc.


The next morning they went to the beach dressed in their "tourist" garb. They were sitting on beach chairs, enjoying a drink, the sunshine and the scenery when a "drop dead gorgeous" blonde in a topless bikini came walking straight towards them. They couldn't help but stare.


As the blonde passed them she smiled and said "Good Morning, Father ~ Good Morning, Father," nodding and addressing each of them individually, then she passed on by. They were both stunned. How in the world did she know they were priests? So the next day, they went back to the store and bought even more outrageous outfits.These were so loud you could hear them before you even saw them!


Once again, in their new attire, they settled down in their chairs to enjoy the sunshine. After a little while, the same gorgeous blonde, wearing a different colored topless bikini, taking her sweet time, came walking towards them. Again she nodded at each of them, said "Good morning, Father ~ Good morning, Father," and started to walk away.


One of the priests couldn't stand it any longer and said,
"Just a minute, young lady."
"Yes, Father?"
"We are priests and proud of it, but I have to know, how in the world do you know we are priests, dressed as we are?"


She replied, "Father, it's me, Sister Margaret."

Teaching the African Tribes

A Catholic priest was about to finish his tour of duty, and was leaving his mission in the jungle where he has spent years teaching the natives when he realized that the one thing he never taught them was how to speak English.

So he took the chief for a walk in the forest. He pointed to a tree and said to the chief, 'This is a tree'. The chief looked at the tree and grunted, 'Tree'. The priest was pleased with the response. They walked a little further and he pointed to a rock and said, 'This is a rock'. Hearing this, the chief looked and grunted, 'Rock.'

The priest was really getting enthusiastic about the results when he heard a rustling in the bushes. As they peeked over the top, he saw a couple of natives in the midst of heavy sexual activity.The priest was really flustered and quickly responded, 'Man riding a bike.' The chief looked at the couple briefly, pulled out his blowgun and killed them.

The priest went ballistic and yelled at the chief that he has spent years teaching the tribe how to be civilized and be kind to each other, so how could he kill these people in cold blood that way?

The chief replied, 'My bike.'

Recipe One: Butter Cake

I baked a butter cake. Well it may not look too good, but it tastes exactly how it was supposed to. : )

Inspired by Julie & Julia

Passion. Ambition. Butter.
Inspired by the movie Julie & Julie (details enclosed below), I have decided to take on a journey just like the two main characters in the movie.

Movie: Julie & Julia

Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book.

I really liked the movie. Considering that I enjoy baking, my interest in it was instantly triggered and aggravated. So I requested a proper, simply-illustrated cookbook for my birthday from my mum. 

Here it is:

Intelligences will be followed up.
