One Step At A Time

March is finally here. Oh wait..it's almost middle of March too. It's been forever since I actually write in here. Working life is soooooo much different from studying. I actually enjoy working though I am literally still under training. I am going back to the bank soon.. like real soon to be in the reality. I am looking forward to it. I am looking to learn as well.

Just found out of where I'll be heading after my training. I am very happy that I got that position because that is something that I would really want to work in. I know I will learn a lot and of course, working my buttocks to be at the top position. I got words from my pastor and I think it just came true. God is great! He arranged a path for me so that I'll walk on it with Him with me all the time. Thank you, Father Lord for the words.

What have I been doing recently? Well, I have to move out by end of April because my current landlady wants to take back her house. Le sigh.. I have to go through another phase of moving around. Oh the horror! I hope I'll be able to find a place to rent at an affordable price and of course, the convenience of walking distant to LRT station. I don't think I will be able to afford a car yet because I am aiming for other monetary plans. Getting a car will just put off and somewhat scar a little of my monetary plan. We'll see how things go..

If anyone has any recommendation of room to rent, do let me know. I am in need of a place to rent by mid April. I need somewhere near LRT and also furnished room so I don't have to fuss over about buying furniture. I am gonna hunt for more tomorrow. I can do this! I just need to make sure I find time to view the rooms.

And also I am rather busy with the editorial board in my training centre while juggling with assessments too. I didn't do so well last term so I have to buck up for this final assessment. So much to do, so little time. And and and I must seriously clean my room. It's so messy that I can't see the floor. I know.. I know.. it's a bad habit but I can't help it! I am hardworking in some areas of life but cleaning is just not my thing. I'll try. I tried sewing and somewhat successful in it. I'll use this weekend to do it. MUST.CLEAN.ROOM.

20 cents is away and yes, I have to go through a lot of things on my own. It sucks balls. But I am really thankful that I have great friends that really help me out when they could; 20 cents' family has been great too. They give me lifts to church and bring me out for dinners. I am living an awesome life. But it will be more awesome if 20 cents is around. Oh well.. he is doing it for our future. I hope he'll get confirmation soon to be back in KL permanently.

Praying daily for Much More Surpassing Favors.

SOTD #1

I was uninspired to write last night.

This morning I lost hope and faith in humanity.

It was just a simple task or in this case, a simple technology. But no! It just doesn't work like that. So, this is what happened..

I reloaded my Touch & Go card yesterday morning. And yes, the money was added into the card. Happily I exited the exit. This morning, I checked and the money I added in was gone. Gone. So, I went back to the counter where I reloaded my card. Guess what?

"Ni kena pergi main office kat KL Sentral untuk check summary card."

Really? Really? Your computer can't check my summary? It was your fault and now you're telling me that I have to go all the way to KL Sentral to check the summary on my card. Personally, I think it's a small little task that ANY technology could do. But no.. they upgraded all sorts of "new technology" and make it public on the newspapers on how AWESOME their stuffs are. But no.. a small little thing like this; one has to travel far during office hours to simply just fix the problem of theirs.

It's not the money. It's the service provided that made me lose hope in just so many things. Le sigh! Why not upgrade your customer service instead? What happened to "Customer is always right!"

Savory Bistro,MK10

Had lunch in MK 10 at this bistro called Savory after church. Savory Bistro is located above Ristretto. Thinking that I have to pay a lot; I was rather skeptical about the food. So, I went ahead anyway because fellowship is more important than the food. It's double bonus too if food is good. Was recommended to order the set lunch which was rather economical. A main course with a drink and dessert at RM13++. I ordered Chicken Chop and 20 cents ordered Carbonara Pasta.


Fancy for some sugar?


Ice Lemon Tea that comes with the set lunch

Food was not too bad. The Chicken Chop tasted like Katsu Don and they even cut into smaller pieces for easy eating. I don't have to cut and I am happy. People always laugh at the way I hold my knife and fork. Dang! 20 cent's Carbonara was awesome! It's so creamy but soooooooooo delicious topped up with some ham and bacon. Oh the yummyness! I am craving for some now!!

Carbonara Pasta

Was told by a friend that the food here is quite good. Lunch on weekdays are usually packed so if you are nearby and looking for some economical yet good food, do consider Savory Bistro. I am looking forward to my next visit for some Carbonara.

Pots and Bones Steamboat

This is a long due post since Chinese New Year.

Some university mates of mine gave me a call and asked me out for dinner. Since I got nothing much to do, I said yes and off we went to Pots and Bones. I heard good comments about this place and was advised that the prices are a little bit expensive. It's Chinese New Year so yea.. I guess it's alright to spend a little on food.

We ordered Pepper Pork Soup Broth. Before dinner, I had pepper pork soup for lunch so the gung ho me was thinking..aiya.. can la.. not that spicy what. I was so wrong! I had two sausages on my lips while having dinner. Side dishes prices ranged from RM4.90 onwards. We ordered some noodles, vegetables and some porky stuffs.

Our spread


Yummylicious spread!

Food was great. For the price we paid, we had good quality food. The pork balls were handmade and it was sooooooooo good. Fishballs were smooth and chewy. Love it! The pork slices were orgasmic! It was thin and it sort of melt in your mouth when you put it into your mouth. Awesome pork slices! The condiments are awesome too! The bill totaled up to RM100++ and it wasn't too bad for four persons. But I will not order Pepper Pork Broth next time to avoid the sausages lips again.

To cook


And it's cooked!

I will recommend this place for steamboat. The food quality is top notch so it's all finger licking good :)

Pre-Valentine's Day

Ever since 20 cents and myself started this long distance relationship; it's just so hard to spend much time together except for ermm.. texting and Whatsapping daily. Even calling each other is like on certain days because one, we are busy with work and two, the reception for signals in my room sucks balls. Anyway, it doesn't matter. When 20 cents back for long weekends, we made sure we spend enough time together and it's all quality times.

We don't really celebrate the Cupid Day but we do go out for dinner and just chill together for the past four years. But for this year, it's kinda impossible for us to celebrate it because he is away for work and I have to burn midnight oil for a major presentation at work. It's a long weekend this week; not for 20 cents but what the hell..

Spent our weekend together by having dinners with his family. Then, we spent our Saturday noon in Mid Valley by spending our discount vouchers together. I finally redeemed my Burt's Bee lip balm. And also, the youghurt voucher which by the way tasted really awesome. It's definitely worth my money. A better alternative and of course, healthier too as compared to my usual bubble tea fix. We did spend on bubble tea and crispy wrap before dinner.


Our Sno for only RM7.90 with a discount coupon

Went over to fish spa again. I think we are like addicted to it because it's comfortable and we bought it at a cheaper rate. I needed to go for fish spa so badly because of my awesome cracked heels. Need to go for fish spa again! And I don't care about the comments of how I might get diseases transmitted to me through the fishes and what's not. I like it so whatever! It was all ticklish and then, really comfortable having your dead skins bitten off by these little fishy. Tried the bigger fishes and it was as if our toes were bitten off by them but what the heck la.. it was all pure fun.


Ticklish but comfortable

Went down to Seremban for dinner at 20 cents' grandaunt's place. It was always fun and entertaining listening to stories from his aunts and uncles. Of course, it's good to know that I am well accepted into his family too. Reached home at 2am. Slept throughout the night and *cough* day too. We were late to church because yes, me.. overslept. I can't help it. I was really tired. After church, fellowship with some friends in this bistro called Savoury Bistro. Gonna put that in a separate blog as well. Hehe. Spent my entire evening with 20 cents in Snowflakes and just chilling out before he left.

It's gonna be another tormenting month; waiting for him to come back only on long weekends. But whatever it is, I miss him uber a lot!
