Miss Einstein - In The Making...

What do I do when I have spare time?

Experiments!!!!

And you wont be surprise to discover the number of lab equipments that I have destroyed (like Bunsen burners, brown glass jars, beakers, boiling tubes – to name a few) while I discovered my talents and nurtured my interests some 20 years ago… (and not to mentioned how I pissed off the lab teacher with my nuisance).

So…. What did I do last (looonngggg) weekend?

One

My daughter loves ‘cokodok’… with prawn & anchovies, minus the shredded onion and ‘taugeh’ and chopped ‘kucai’. It’s veggie-free ‘cokodok’. Last weekend, I added an egg to the cokodok mixture, half portion of fresh milk and half portion of condensed milk. Of course, a pinch of salt will add to the taste… and voila!!!!!

I ended up with a huge basket of rich, creamy and mouth-watering ‘cokodok’, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside….. beats Jamie Oliver! Definitely!

Two

Every time my mom does her laundry, the whole house smells like Downy (a brand name for fabric softener, if you haven’t been visiting the hypermarket lately). … and the smell lingers up till the clothes go into the wardrobe.

.. and I kept on wondering why that didn’t happen when I did my laundry over the weekend. So last Thursday, I tossed my dirty laundry into my washing machine (which constantly begs for mercy because of its old age). So determined to end up like my mom’s clean laundry, I poured 2 full cups of detergent and 3 full cups of Downy. I pushed the START button and the machine started working. The machine is so old that it gives us Hurricane Katrina, every time, whenever it spins. The results??

Voila!!!! …. even the house smells so flower-fresh…. and so I found the magic formula.

I was a happy Scientist (duh!) at last.

A Walk to Remember!?

Finally, I’m writing…. The trip to Singapore was fun…. And also, full of crazy moments.. heheh… Clockwise : The Q @ immigration, street performers @ Orchard, moi infront of Far East Plaza, Nik chilling out @ Starbucks Suntec CT & my precious new sandal... I like!! We left KL after Subuh & managed to reach Johor around 10am. The trip was a short one so we decided to leave the kids behind. It was a smooth ride on a cool & very breezy morning with just enough sun all the way (yes, made me sleepy also!). I took some cool pictures along the way and later discovered that I accidently deleted all of the scenery pics from my camera.... *sigh* Sometimes I can be more than the word 'clumsy' could describe... Anyway, we wanted to enter Singapore via TUAS, then I remembered that we didn’t even have a single cent of S$, so we drove down to JB town and looked for money changer. Then I thought…. no harm of taking the Causeway since it was a Sunday and I was so damn sure that traf...

To Be or Not To Be

Deadlines were over…. Yesterday was my last day here…. And today marks a whole new beginning of my career life here….. I could be wrong or I could be right for making this decision… but I’ve made up my mind to take up the challenges, nonetheless. I know I’m subjecting myself to a lot of hardwork as well as criticism, scrutiny and observation from the rest……. and time definitely has to be compromised. But being a risk taker…. I am, I know I just have to pull myself together and face the obstacles - one at a time. It’s too late to undo things anyway and the best thing to do is to be positive. Both legs are in and it’s time to march towards the horizon with pride and dignity. Only time can answer the doubts that I have in me now… meanwhile, I need all the luck that I can have.

It was Nik's Birthday

It was my husband’s birthday yesterday and we took the day off to ‘merewang’ while feeling young, kononnya. The theme of the celebration? Reminiscing the days when we were courting back in 1993 minus the snow.... ancient sungguh rasanya! We had our breakfast at O’Brien’s early in the morning and took a slow stroll along the shops in OU and enjoyed every minute of it (at 10am in the morning, mind you, and the shops were barely opened). Later we watched ‘Lake House’ and we were charged RM12 only for 2 tickets (the early bird tickets were so damn cheap, I almost fainted!). There were only a few couples inside and we took the opportunity to sit right at the middle (ikut suka hati), since the theater was quite empty. How was the movie? Hmm… ok la, I would say it was the right movie for the occasion… hehe. A bit slow though, biasa la, romantic piece. The ending part was quite ‘touchy’ and yes, Mr Reeves was so stunningly handsome (oh yes, nampak tua sikit la and still got the looks). ...
