Petite Bunny

Good things come to the end. And there no reason why? Maybe it meant to happen. Everyone have a situation where things happen for a sudden and we just so clueless what to deal with it. But there always a light in the end of the tunnel.

But what happen if a person waited so much time to think and do nothing about it? But complained about stuffs. And never listen to any advised as this person asked us what to do? Is this called Stubborn? Should we just give up and move on? There a lot of things I don’t understand in life. And yet, everyone think they the most pity one of all. Come on, everyone go thru what we go thru. Is about us willing to give up on something and wish for a good one to come. And I guess, everyone been always looked at the negatives. And maybe just being selfish and never care about others feeling. The feeling of hates, upset, disappoint, fears and etc.

Why would one person can be so selfish that they never care about pulling others down. A person who actually grow so high and yet because of one person. All of us fall! Is this fair??? I don’t know. In the end who suffer? Not the person who being selfish but the person who trying to help is the one who suffer. Coz the person who being selfish just sit and wait and complaint. Always assume everyone to help.

The reason why, I decided to write this is because I’m so fed up with the person who don’t help themselves. I’m so done with helping out. What will I get in the end??? Nothing! They should have look at the bigger pictures instead of now. I have so much to do, so much to dream, so much to achieve. Maybe, it’s time about ME!

Last weekend, I supposed to go to my friend’s house at Reno. But I can’t make it coz Calvin needed to fly off to Los Angeles on Monday. I don’t want Calvin to be in the rush and get tired for the trip. I knew he’s going to be very tired and busy in LA. So, I understand that.

So, we ended up planning to go to the Barbeque cook off and invited Ivy and her family. It was such a last minutes thing. When we reached there, it kinda not expected. It’s not that huge or a big thing as I thought. Maybe because, it’s was a 2^nd year for this event. But we had a great time together. It’s all about a good company. We had a best barbeque ribs. Soft and tender. The meat just came off from the bone without any hard work.

Let’s the pictures tell it all.

Calvin left for 3 days now. And I’m feeling okay. Way better that before. Maybe because I knew it was just a short trip. He called me more that he usually did this time. And I’m appreciate what he did and we been chatting online at night for couples hours. It was fun. It’s like, back to where we used to be and falling in love once again. Of course, it’s a bit different now. Maybe we both got mature somehow.

I got a SURPRISED yesterday! A surprised from Calvin. I TOTALLY not expected anything from him. I got a flower shipped all the way from San Diego. I can’t believe it. I was so so happy about it. I just can’t explain how I feel when I first saw it. I was so speechless and he called me after I put the flowers together. Gosh, he always does that to me. He made me sad, mad and etc. But in the end, he won my heart back again. I hate him for doing that. It does drive me crazy.

Kangkung is a malay word which refer to water spinach. Belacan mean Shrimp Paste.

I decided to cook this dish is because, we always graving for this dish. It so good and Calvin love it a lot. There no point of ordering in the restaurant all the time when we can try other stuffs. That’s how I decided to made this dish. How can I not know how to cook it when I born in Malaysia, right. I hope the photos tell it all.

Here a little bit of the water spinach history.

Water-spinach (Ipomoea aquatics) is a leaf vegetable native to the tropics which can be encountered in two different varieties. One has a hollow stem and large heart-shaped leaves so that it grows and flourishes in water and spreads over the surface like water-weed. When buying this variety, look for firm stems with green leaves. The second type also needs plenty of water to help it grow, but grows on land rather than in the water. The leaves are darker and thinner. As vegetables, there is hardly anything to choose between the two varieties. Both have a high vitamin C content and a slightly laxative effect. The pretty, bell-shaped white, pink, or red flowers are rarely seen even in the plant’s natural environment. Water spinach is related to the sweet potato and to morning glory.

It us not advisable to store water spinach for any length of time, as the leaves will turn yellow within a few days, and the stems will lose their firmness. As with most other leaf vegetables, water spinach shrinks when cooked and a large bunch of fresh leaves will lose two-thirds of its bulk.

Before cooking, water spinach must be carefully washed and cleaned and the tough tips of the stalks trimmed away. The leaves are separated from the thick stalks, since they do not take the same amount of time to cook. The mild flavor is similar to that of spinach as eaten in the West. Water spinach is blanched and added to salads and soups. It is particularly popular when stir-fried with a strongly-flavored paste of dried chili peppers and dried shrimp.

Calvin is leaving to Los Angeles soon. I did not cry or tears but I know deep inside my heart, I just have the loneliness. I knew I have to adjust my conform zone. It’s not like Calvin out of trip for the first time. But every times lead me to sadness of loneliness. The dislike of being by myself and no one to turn too made me sad. The dislike of flashing back that I used to live before made me even sadder. But it’s all good. I’ll have some space for myself and do what I suppose to be done for a very long time.

Busy will be my priorities now. I’m thinking what I want to do at home besides sleeping and do nothing. Emmmm……….??? What should I have for my dinner??? Instant noodles will be my first or maybe just a frozen stuff. Easy and fast. To be honest, I HATE eating alone. It’s so pathetic eating by your self.

I’m so emotionally sick. I will eagerly on the phone waiting for him to call. I’m counting the days like I usually did. *sob sob*!

What do we know about kite? Kite is a flying tethered object that depends upon tension of a tethering system. The necessary lift that makes the kite fly is generated when air (or in some cases water) flows over and under the kite’s wing, producing low pressure above the wing and high pressure below it. This deflection also generates horizontal drag along the direction of the wind. The resultant force vector from the lift and drag force components is opposed by the tension of the one or more lines or tethers. The anchor point if the kite line may be static or moving (e.g., the towing of a kite by a running person, boat or vehicle)

We decided to go to the kite festival to learn some tricks. We were intended to get a big one but dang…. It’s pricey. We not sure if we going to play with it all the time. Same as the Wii. It been always sitting on the tv stand and do nothing. Anyhow, we went there at noon time but parking way full. We called each other to see where we are. We wanted to get a close parking and it’s easier for us. And we lucky, we get to parked close to each other. What we do is we took a bus from the downtown to the destination. The driver didn’t accept our money as it was a last stop before going to the Kite’s location. LUCKY! It was my first bus ride in the bay area. Pathetic but it’s true. Weather was great, it was cloudy and windy and I love it. To bad, I got a tan from it and I hate it after that.

It was so spectacular! When u on the spot…………and u look up to the sky. It was so colorful.

Cal and I was so hungry and we can’t wait to get some food. He He He………. We had corndogs and garlic fries with shrimps. YUM O !!! Sat on the ground while eating and watched the kites in the sky. How romantic is that. LOL!!! And the 2^nd thing that can’t take away my eyes was those puppies. OMG……. Cute! Photos below showed where I seated.

Last 2 weeks, Cypress had turned ONE. Time flies really fast without you realize it. I been always wanted to posted but never got the time to do so and I want to fix my photos before I posted it.

So, Cypress didn’t celebrate a big birthday party but over all we had a blast. One year ago, I remembered Calvin and I went to the hospital and he still so tiny. We don’t even dare to carry him as he was so fragile but that was so yesterday. One year later, he was one of a strong boy. He grown so much and every times I saw him, he always had a new tricks.

We had a barbeque at their house. Omg, the chicken wings, the ribs, steaks……….. All of them taste so yummy. Forget to take photos of it. We had a great time!

This is Cypress. The big boy!

I have to show you guys what I saw when I was in Seattle. Before I started let me tell you from the beginning of the story. Calvin, Micheal and I was at the café having a tea section as we walked the whole piers to this fabulous restaurant for my birthday dinner as Micheal wanted to treat me as my gift. I’m so grateful to have friends like them.

It was my birthday weekend, and my group of friends had made the plan for me but I can’t even made it for it. Miss my own birthday bash. Anyways, it’s always happen for a reason. I see the reason why it’s happen and I thank god for him to open my eyes once again. He always protected me from being hurt again. So, being in Seattle was a blessed. I been asking God for a short vacation which I really needed one and I got it for my birthday as a gift from a dear friend. I’m so happy to be there and it’s my first time. Seattle was absolutely beautiful and relaxing.

Back to the café thingy, we were busy chit chatting while looking at the space needle. Something caught my eye which is this crazy telephone car. I was so stunt by it and quickly took out my camera as soon as possible from my bag. Thank God it was red light and the car have to stop and it’s like a god plan for it. I manage to take it just before it turned green. Lucky me! Check it our self…….
Anyways, my birthday is not bad as it turned. True friends always a true friends I have to say. If someone really care for that person, there never to late for anything. When we got back, my room mates bought me to Shabu-Shabu as we were graving for that in Seattle. We just can’t miss that to my surprised when I reached home, I got this huge birthday cake from them. It’s really sweet of them. I really thought, no one will celebrate my birthday this year.
Then, my sweet co-workers actually bought me for lunch and treat me. Good Thai food! I was so touch by them as my birthday was past. Then, we have a small gathering at work for June Babies and a Baby shower for my supervisor. I can’t explain how happy I am.
Then, this sweet girl who I always msn everyday. If you reading this, yes I’m referring you! Yes You! I have no idea that she actually wanted to treat me a dinner. I was assuming it was a normal hang out. But thanks babe, it was cheeky of you with the bill and the CAKE! Food was great too……… Garlic Eggplant and not to forget, the curry we made you taste. LOL!
And of course Ivy, Cypress and Herman. They always treated me as part of their family. I’m so grateful to met them. Being no family here is tough for me. Even thought my birthday past a week ago but they still want to celebrate it for me. We went to BBQ Palace for lunch. Yes, we smelled like BBQ for the whole day which we loved it. We spent most of the day together and I had so much fun. To my surprised, I got my favorite JUICY COUTURE necklace. I’d been talking about it for a week about the necklace to Calvin. He never sees me so excited about it. He he he………….I’m still playing with the box.

To the others that I miss. Please forgive me! I can only remember this so far which it was 2 months ago which I should had update it earlier. Those will be my most memorable birthday for 2008. Oh before I forget. Thanks Honey for the gifts…………. YOU'RE THE BEST FOR ME! Without you, I’m nothing………….

This is my very first home made beef burgers.
