Spices of Life

Desktop challenge

As tagged by Unka Paul,
here is my desktop. As I'm using dual display, the desktop repeats.

[Copy & Paste from Unka Paul]
here's how the challenge works:

minimize everything (as in all windows) until you only see your desktop. Now look at yer keyboard and look for the key that says "Print Screen" (Prnt Scrn on some keyboards). Press that once. Open your fav graphics editor (I'm using my Kedai cat a.k.a PaintShop :D)

Post that up on your blog. Lets see the amazing plethora of desktops that you fellers have.

Well, I don't wanna tag others lah. I guess, I know how their desktop look like. hehehehe...

Roasted

It's nearly 4:30am and I'm still wide awake. I can hear sounds like firecrackers during Chinese New Year, minor explosion like popping hot popcorn in a microwave and annoying sound of water pump from the hydrant just right outside of my bedroom window. I'm trying my best to fight with the heat coming from outside, turning the cooling fan to the max, throw away my blanket, drink another glass of water and sprinkle some on my face. My lips feel very dry, my throat feels like burning. This is not good, I need some sleep before I have to go to work at 8am. But in this situation, I think I'll be totally roasted before I fall back to sleep.

Outside my bedroom, few hundreds meters away, a sky high fire is still eating the whole woods inside the storage area of the woods factory. The fire is so BIG and wild, furiously burn everything near by. Since 3:30am, 2 fire trucks have reached there and firemen start fighting the fire. There's totally hopeless for the firemen to save the factory, they just control the fire, so that it won't spread to other place near by. They fight hard with the fire, as hard as I'm fighting with the heat, just to continue my sleep. I don't wanna go to work with panda eyes  in the morning. Phew.. what a hot hot night!

Waiting No More...

..And that stops my waiting, answers all questions, reveals all secrets, solves all problems, confirms the uncertains, brings back my confidence, fulfills my hopes, brings back their smiles, pours happiness around me and makes me feels cherished, loved, precious, grateful and most important thing, happy.

It's worth waiting...

My life.. is over.

All I can remember was a few flashing lights and strong wind blowing from every direction, with harsh noise and screeching sounds. I was sitting there for a few minutes, no, not waiting but thinking. What I was thinking? Hmm.. I was thinking where was this great smell came from. The  nice cruchy smell, which makes my tummy growling, forcing me to step forward and move.

But I'm still thinking. Is it worth it for me to follow the smell to the source? I was imagining the delicious, crispy ayam berempah. The BBQ chicken wings were dancing in my eyes. I made up my mind, I must and find the source. Ignoring the strong wind and loud sound, I must run quickly to get those wings. Grab 'em all and eat as much as I wanted to. I must !!

SPLATT !!!!

The last thing I remember was flashing light went straight towards me. It's too late for me to turn back. I was in totally shock and it happened too fast. The great smell was my last breath. Then I saw my body, in the middle of the road, not moving. My hungry tummy, was totally flat and not hungry anymore. And I realized, I have a pair of wings and I'm floating in the air. I can fly! I can fly!

I watch the purple Kembara which hit me just now moving away. I know the driver have tried to stop and avoid me while I was crossing the road just now, but as I said, everything happened too fast and nothing much he can do. I know he felt very sad, but I want to tell him not to worry, he just makes my way up there easier. He ends up all my problems in a snap of time. I'm not blaming him on anything. No hard feelings at all.

Well, I should be going now. I can see the lights, guiding me to the other side. I never feel as happy as this before. This is the happiest moment in my whole ex-life.

p/s: I like the logo behind the Kembara just now. It looks so evil.

...learning...

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

Yes, I'm still learning. And now I've learnt that some things are best left unspoken (then it hurts 2 hearts in 1 shot when it came out from the mouth).

I'm learning to over come my internal conflict and learning to become a better person. I'm learning to over come my fears, I'm learning to accept the truth, I'm learning to live in reality. I'm learning to be independent at the same time, learning to be dependent. I'm learning to live just with hope, I'm learning to understand the feelings, I'm learning a lot from my mistakes and I'm learning to say I'm sorry. I'm learning to forgive and forget, I'm learning to avoid new conflicts, I'm learning to be the best and I'm learning to change.

No matter how long it will take, I'm learning to improve.

Thank you boss!!!

Well, 2007 starts with big lunch (Sponsored by my boss, Thank you bos!!! Next time belanja lagi!!) at Jogoya Buffet Restaurant, Relish Floor, Starhill, last Friday, during lunch hour. As a first timer, I read a few reviews on the net, about this place before I went there. Just to prepare myself on what should I eat and what I shouldn't. But once I step my feet there, my mouth was drooling and my bad-in-decision-making mind didn't work properly. Too many yummy choices, too small tummy. I just eat what ever my boss bring to the table.

Jogoya is unique buffet restaurant. Some of the dishes were cooked and you can simply can take it straight to the plate or to your mouth (raw or ready-cooked). But some of them were raw (uncooked yet) and the expert chef will cook it for you when you select the sample dish. 3 clips are provided for each table. We combine 3 tables, with total of 9 clips. You must Use these clips to order dishes which need to be cooked. Just drop the clip into the bowl in front of the dish label. A few minutes later, the dish will be sent to your table, burning hot. And don't worry, you'll get your clip back, together with the dish. It can be reused again and again and again and again.
Each customer will get a member coupon. This one only can be used once, for featured dish at every station. As I remembered, there are a few stations such as Sushi, western, indian, dim sum and a lot more (Sorry I can't recall 'em all, coz the stations' names are hanging on top of them, while my eyes looking down on the dishes :P)

The main character in Jogoya is King Crab. Really really big King crabs in lots lots different type of cuisine. Each station have one special King Crab cuisine. Beside the main dish, other stuffs like cookies, fruit juice, thai coconut, sago coconut drinks, lovely cheese cakes and pastries and ice-creams. Yummy....
