Petite Bunny

When I was in China Town, Vancouver B.C. I came across this exotic herb store. The first thing I saw was this lizard or iguana. I was like, what the heck is that? And I found out, it’s actually good for our system as Chinese loves to cook herds and stuffs.

This little creatures called Geckos (Chinese pronounce: Bi Hu). These are sold in pairs of male and female. The reptiles are dried, and skewered so that the body remains flat. The head is removed before they go into a chicken soup cooked in steamer. As long as the gecko retains its tail, men will not refuse a bowl of this soup. Women have no fear the loss of the tail, and they take the soup to give their skin tone a boost. Ground into powder, the geckos become a medicine which can be given to children who suffer from asthma. Geckos can also be steeped in wine for a certain amount of time, and the resulting potion consumed.

When I was young, I never like to eat my lunch or dinner. In my mind is that, I just wanted to play with my neighbors. Maybe that’s why I’m so petite till today. As I grew up as a teenager, I kinda like to cook but never touch the kitchen coz my grandma always complaint about me making it messy. So, it’s better not to touch or anything. What I did was, I baked all the time. Easy to cleaned. Then, I moved away from my family to the city and have my own life. Everything is so different living by yourself. I have to do everything by my own and also financial budget. It’s a good thing I tried lived by my own and learned how to be independent.

Anyways, since I’m living by myself, the best way to save my money is to eat home. Something simple is ok for me. Then, I moved to the states and realized that it’s so hard to find a good Malaysian food. I graved a lot of food back home and I decided to cook my own. Since then, I love cooking and I got better each time. And I thought of myself, I don’t have to go to culinary school to be better. Then food network became my favorite channel. Before I go to bed, I usually watch for at least 30 minutes what ever it showed on that time. I learned a lot from it. Now, Food and photography is my passion!

I found out that, Malaysian food is very interesting. I never appreciated what I have when I lived in Malaysia and now I see why it is so special. If you live in Malaysia, you get to taste all kind of food. The Malay, Chinese, Nyonya, Indian and etc of cuisine. To me, I loved Spicy stuffs.

Rice is the staple food which is served at every meal. Breakfast, Lunch and dinner. Malaysian dishes are seasoned with shallots, curry spices, garlic, chili peppers and shrimp paste as well as with galingale, candlenut, coconuts milk, tamarind, lemongrass or palm sugar. Most Malaysian (mostly for the muslim) still eat with the fingers of their right hands. Of course, knives and forks are acceptable for the non-muslim.

Alright, I’ll tell more on the next entry.

No one will ever believe what happen to me. What I did was, I locked myself out from the car. I was on the phone with Calvin and he was complaining about no buying him a watermelon since I was at the grocery store. Since he was yaking and yaking, I thought of going back and get it. So, I quickly put my stuffs in the truck and with out I realize it I actually slip my key. It was on my hand but when u wanted to do it as quickly as you can and I just opened up my hand without realizing the key on my hand and listening to Calvin complained about the damn watermelon.

As soon as I closed the truck and walking back to the store, I realize the key no longer on my hand and I was telling Calvin that the key in the trunk. There no way we can’t take it out since we don’t have a spare key which Calvin suppose to get one long time ago. What happen is that, I called my friend and he came right away for my rescue. To bad………nothing worked to open anything. Ok, I drove the BMW on that day, and BMW have the impossible to break in. Calvin called other friend who worked for the BMW dealer. Cheng. Cheng. Cheng……………………… Still can’t open it. 3 man trying to break into the car but can’t. After 4 hours, we did it. I’m so prove of my BMW. Impossible to break it!

I’m done with the 2 photos and can’t decide which one I like the best. I like both of them very much and have their own unique. Even though both of them are the same photos.

I'm back again! I'm not lazy about blog-ing. I have so much to write but never know where to start. So, what am i been doing lately?? Been doing a lot of stuffs and i don't remember most of it. Anyways, something really bother me, i always seem to have stomach upset. Or maybe gastric. It really bother me coz it comes anytime when they want me to suffer from the pain. I think, i should start to eat right and healty. Stop eating out, Jenn!!!

I've been reading blogs from everyone and realize mine is not active and boring as usual. I never have an interesting topic beside complaining about everything. So, i decided to talk about my photography, fashion and stuffs that i find it cool. As you guys know, I had a good photographer and i know i can learn a lot of him. Well, he never teach me anything beside pushing me to play pc games. And the Wii is always there waiting for dust to be cover.

Back to the point. I went to Vancouver on last May for the weekend. It's just a get away for both of us since he always work and work and it's time for him to have a break. It's was pretty interesting for me and it's our first time to Vancouver. When we first arrived, we were so surprised to see a long line on the custom. Wow, can you believe how many people actually visited Vancouver itself. It's pretty long wait for our turn. We like Vancouver, it's totally different that San Francisco. People seem to lay back and enjoy the moment on that time. It's a good choice for retirement with free medical. Emmmm............... am think about it. So, we have this tour guide to bring us around vancouver for about 6 hours only. Pretty much enough for site seing. The next time, for sure we gonna rent a car. I will post pictures here when i have more time.

Below picture is where i shooted at Gas Town. I did not use my rebel Canon on it but using my small digital camera from sony. I was just playing with the angel but what i did was, i edit a bit to made it black and white and remain the color of the sign. I Love Black and White. So guys......... You will see more B&W photos. Like the saying, master it
