POT's Kitchen @Jalan Pahang, JB

When's the last time I blogged about a decent cafe in JB? Tofu Flower was it I guess. This one I gotta blog today is just located beside it! Nice cafes are blossoming, I happened to stumble across this one when I was randomly walking around Jalan Tan Hiok Nee after taking dinner at IT Roo. 

陈旭年文化街

That was a Tuesday night so there's nothing much to see.

Again, my favourite place in JB. 

two shops away from Tofu Flower Cafe. @Jalan Pahang.

Very tiny double-storey cafe.

A scrumptious selection of food and snacks you can find.

Some promotions. Spotted the briefcase? Most of the tables were made of these.

Gotta make your order and payment first before sitting down.

No tax and service charge imposed.

I'm not sure if the owner wanna create an oldschool atmosphere or the clock is just malfunction. 

One down side, it's really stuffy and warm inside.

Toblerone and Malteser cheesecake. Tasted too soft as if melting. Should try the nutella cheesecake which recommended by Foursquare users. I like the drinks though, double choc blended and double choc latte.

little touches.

accidentally shot this and I kinda like it.

Smiling too brightly paiseh

POT's Kitchen

Hmm.. will come back again, given that I try out all the cafes around that area. 

Companion of the night. Buddies for years. Please appreciate my existence before leaving to Russia! Haha!

PS: many friends misunderstood me because of the previous post. 

CLARIFY: It's just about my perspective of love and relationships and stuffs. Not that I lost the love of my life and am miserable, please. Still that happy cheerful me. BTW, I think I can be a column writer or something because that post I wrote actually touches many hearts! Haha

let me be a little bit vain for once.

It's getting nearer to the date of my last paper in my uni life. Hence you can see I blog more often now. No, haven't started anything. Yea just SzeEe being SzeEe.

love,

Ee

最爱的你们

做人难
爱情原本就很难
谈场恋爱难上加难


爱情是名词
谈恋爱是动词
向往爱情是一回事
谈场你向往的爱情是另一回事


我说爱情不能衡量
当你去计较多少时
已不是心甘情愿的付出

你说一段爱情里
谁付出得多
谁关心得深
谁比较在乎
谁紧张对方
就是那个谁比较爱


可能若干年后我会自打嘴巴
但是

现在的我觉得
何必执着
何必计算

过去已矣
不管是曾一起度过的时光
各自曾有的往事
还是从前怎么拥抱对方
它始终是过去


你说我变了
我说我们都变了
16岁的我们跟23岁的我们不同了
人与人之间是相互的
你看着我成长
我看着你成熟
只有内心的那个自己觉得
“我没变”

到头来
其实是时间溜走了


我们都受过伤
我们知道什么最痛

你的爱太浓烈
不觉自己飞蛾扑火
梦要破茧成蝶

我说不管怎么爱
别忘了爱最初的自己
不管怎么伤
别忘了最初跌倒的痛


又一次
我们一起经历了这些
疯狂愚蠢的爱
往事如烟的情


像女生百里挑一的照片
不一定是最好
但当下最符合自己的眼光
毫无预警的快门
“咔嚓”一声
却能捕捉最美的瞬间

敬最爱的你们
希望
我们都能幸福

First in 2014

It's been a long freaking time. Not that I had no time to update about my life. I did, I still do, but I just don't know how and where should I start with it. Anyway, my mood kicks in now and here's it. A really short one.

Been 1.5 months since my last update. I can't really recall back every event happened to me during this whole time but I do remember some important ones. You-know-what.

One of my own traditions is to blog about my past year review. However, this 2013 review is yet to be done. It's been almost 2 months after all. Maybe I will,
1. it's my blog's tradition.
2. to really look into what I've done in 2013.
one day before 2014 ends. haha.

frankly speaking, I can't even remember what I did last week so not to mention what I've done throughout the year. A review is legit.

2014 has been kind to me, so far. Of course I experienced some shitty things, but life like this is what life is supposed to be. Ups and downs. People can't just expect the goods, right?

My family is loving, caring and supporting as always. We love each other too much. Ha!

Friends are still that lovely and funny. I don't know, whenever I'm with them I feel safe. Things may break, but this bond we share shall stay. Sometimes, we gotta experience something together only to get closer, even closer. Be it good or bad, as long as we have each other, we have the world.

You, are my extraordinary. Enough said.

深夜日记 中文版 第一集

其实现在的身体状况是非常疲累的，但精神却异常亢奋。差不多一小时前才回到家，错过了与家人搓汤圆的机会为的是跟久违的朋友碰头。我知道以现在这个心情是难以入眠的，脑袋里一直重复着刚才的情景与对话。好吧，我再来个深夜的反省。


不知是否大家都在成长，感觉今天以后我会以另一种眼光看待今晚出席的那几位乡亲父老。真的都长大了，对生活有了各自的态度、见解。我不懂，近十年的友情是怎么转变。不过回头一看，我们一起走过的路真的挺漫长的。几经岁月翻转，我们从零星的几个人，拼拼凑凑到现在如此阵容，我只能说时间这东西真的很奇妙。


有这么一位仁兄，我近乎一年才见他一两面，但感情还是那么要好。每次的相遇都让我觉得，他。越。来。越。搞。笑。只要有他在的场合十之八九是具爆炸性的，其一原因可能是因为他对开黄腔这事绝对乐此不疲。哈！

但。是。

今晚，他抛下了几颗极富教育性的震撼弹。我们谈论范围之广，跨足了人生各个领域。社会、工作、教育、两性，要什么有什么。就跟大家分享其中一个金句：人就像alignment，没有调正的话就偏离道路冲下山坡。如果问题太严重不能修复，那应该就是时候要换新车了哈哈。详细内容就不方便透露，不过肯定的是大家都在某程度上长了见识，互相懂的秘密也多了哈！我自己其实是获利不少嘿。尤其是那个“昂格格”那段哈哈哈！

倩，我知道你一定很想知道是什么事，不告诉你哈哈！


我们解决不了的问题，
就以一个玩笑减轻沉积已久的重担。
以上扬的嘴角代替拥抱。
以爽朗的笑声拂去烦恼。

尘埃已落地，虽然不能擦掉过去，我们能向往未来。你们让我觉得万物皆有可能。你们让我更清楚看到人生不同面。

很多人都说，朋友不用多，知心的哪怕是一个就够了。在同一时间说出同一句话；用一个眼神就能表达。有这样的默契是需要培养的吗？那我应该培养了好几个。感恩感恩。



很多时候，不是为了要答案才把问题道出。

很多时候，我们喝的不是茶，是默契，是相惜，是当下心情。（好啦其实是星巴克）



一小时过去，脑海里还是你们的声音……（笑）


为你写诗
为你静止
为你做不可能的事


仪

我。很。想。家。

翻开考卷那一刹那，嘴角还微微上扬。扫描了题目一眼，貌似都是囊中物。好一个貌似，越做越发觉得不妥。好久没有体会这种“完蛋”的feel，只能苦笑准备迎来final那场硬仗。

不知是否这张paper的“含金量”没那么重，我一点内疚的感觉都没有（“看得开”模式启动）。虽然说15分在总数40分的coursework里占了快一半，但是人生哲学告诉我，做人就不要太被数字束缚，美好的东西是数字不能衡量的！哈哈！说的头头是道，其实心想回家该怎么面对老爸老妈。（妈咪你看到的话，你要知道你女儿我是有认真在读书的哦！）

***

去了趟Big Bad Wolf (BBW)书展后，发现近来品味比较偏向非小说路线。读着在这世界上的另一个人的故事，无论他在世与否，都打从心底觉得很神奇。没有任何一个人能擦掉生活过的痕迹，被记载在书里的故事更是可歌可泣的、最真实的存在。

我人生中第一本非小说是《相约星期二》Tuesday with Morrie，或许认识我的朋友知道我很爱这本书，但是不知道其实我读的第一个版本是中文译版 ，之后才买英文原版。认真大力推荐！如果真的有时间，可以在这个link读（没有收费，完整版）。线上只找到中文版，英文的可以去买书，很值得收藏。如果不喜欢读书看字，可以看它的翻拍电影Tuesday with Morrie，不过我可以肯定文字带给你的冲击和感动肯定远超电影所及。


这是在BBW买的新书，With Love And Laughter, John Ritter。我决定买不买一本书的习惯是读它的preface序言，这本书打从一开始就让我眼眶泛红。John Ritter在美国算是家喻户晓的喜剧演员，跟作者是夫妻关系，不过他在2003年因病逝世。这本书记录了他们台下幕后的生活，他对人生积极的态度。

With Love and Laughter, John Ritter -by Amy Yasbeck

最后一句的past tense看得我心疼。

***

对，要回家了。这念头光想想就很激动。虽然说圣诞、跨年都不能跟他们过，不过我有套安慰自己的方法；读local u的朋友们在那时候还要考试呢哈哈哈！嗯，我很邪恶。不过人生哲学告诉我（又来），一个人的世界总需要另一个人做陪衬，一起哭过笑过，所以你才知道什么是快乐，何谓悲伤。所以，朋友你们懂我的。考试加油吧哈哈！


最近生活上的小小不如意让我格外想家。虽然很多人跟我一样，从来就只报喜不报忧，不过跟他们通电话聊些小事，问问他们的晚餐如何，就能让我打起精神重新面对一切。家人二字的威力不容小觑。声音就有如此动力，可想而知每每回家的那份心情是多么激动。



【从小梦想着长大，然后做大人的事情。
渐渐地我们成了大人，真的成了大人，经历大人所经历的一切。
没有人会问疼不疼，累不累，所有人都把自己当成大人。
但只有父母，
我们在他们面前，永远是孩子，长大的梦想，永远也不会实现。
“长大”这个字眼，只是在小时候才会熠熠生辉。】

BBW2013 | Recent

3 weeks hiatus. First post in December.

Bad luck has been following me. Was so devastated until not long ago, went makan with my sister and she indeed lightened up everything around us. 

When people see me as a positive source, I as well get mine from my closest ones. I need recharging too. Calling back home, hanging out with sisters, listening to music, tumblring, etc. etc..

***

I went to KL last Wednesday for this BigBadWolf (BBW) book sale at MIECC @ The Mines. Going to Pavilion before that because BBW was open 24 hours (Awesome wasn't it?!). It took me one hour to reach KL Sungai Besi toll and another 2 hours to Pavilion!!! That was the first time I experienced the traffic in KL. CRAZY!

Wanted to look for the Christmas deco at Pavilion but I ended up taking only few shoots from the entrance. So so damn regret I didn't spend my time wisely. FML!


only interior I shot. Missed the carousel!!! Aghhh hate myself!

*googled for better picture!*

I didn't even have a closer look about everything. It's Christmas we're talking about! Hate myself x2!

Morganfield's. Huge portion. Don't simply order! It states 3-4 persons but I assure you it's far more than that!

Haiz. Been there done that. It's closed inside. FOL.

Bye Pavilion.

I found that the line character super annoying. Does it have anything to do with christmas except wearing a christmas hat?- -

***

Reaching BBW at midnight 00:00 sharp. I thought there would be less people during the night who knows the crowd was no joke. Well I was the one who purposely went there from Malacca so, no whining. It was indeed my kinda sanctuary heaven!


Crowd at 12 midnight. I was grinning ear to ear once I stepped into the hall. Pile of books.

I love books. I love places with lotsa books. I adore people who read especially those who share the same liking in authors and books with me. 

Sooooooo, I didn't see this coming: 

Spending 4 straight hours for books hunting until 4 o'clock in the morning. Pity my friends who accompanied me. I felt so sorry yet satisfying at the same time. I didn't really get what I was looking for, but it was actually a matter of luck and that was probably the fun part of the whole book hunting thing. 

I was so thrilled that I was lucky enough to find two Cecelia Ahern's books, leaving "How to Fall in Love" and "One Hundred Names" to complete her novels collection.

From this book sale I found that I'm no longer drawn to those chick lit and prefer true stories and non-fictions. Many of them I've read, or the story lines are more or less the same. It's time to look for something different.

Spending not more than RM100 to get all these. Crazy not.

PS: Amy Yasbeck's was drenched in water and is now doing sunbathing. Darn.

another thing to highlight! Even the plastic bag design is cute!
*Read more for less*


*Read happily ever after*
True. I think these books can last me for quite a long time!

***

went to temple yesterday hoping won't be so suey anymore. It's almost the end of 2013. Let it ends peacefully pretty please?

Haha sorry YieTing, this is the only decent group photo we have. SSS back to his family!

kinda miss you fella! Don't miss us too much in Cyberjaya.

THROWBACK

A long-await date with the ladies.

Decent coffee found in Malacca town.

and then shit happened.

drawing helps relieve a little.

she helps a lot in many ways.

although this one thing she can't help me. No one can.

realizing that Christmas draws near. Once-a-year project started not long ago. I hope I can complete it in time. Too damn busy lately :'(

yea and have the time to blog.

and to draw. Haha well this is the last piece of drawing. Next year only start a new sketchbook. Or maybe not.

***

Favourite Tumblr time

Too cute!!! 

I always wanted to share this but I have no time, and I don't want to post on FB or Instagram. Waiting until now. I laughed freaking hysterically when I first read it. Damn funny. Especially the "Be careful not to slip" part. LOL!!!

Like this pic. Kinda creepy though but I like the idea of it.

The light bulb symbolizes our thoughts and how over-thinking can kill us.

Lately I been, I been losing sleep

Dreaming about the things that we could be

But baby, I been, I been praying hard

Said no more counting dollars

We'll be counting stars

Way to Christmas...

One Republic - Counting Stars. I prefer this cover by Hanbyul. Acoustic version.

I like the lyric.

I feel something so right
By doing the wrong thing
And I feel something so wrong
By doing the right thing
I could lie, could lie, could lie
Everything that kills me makes me feel alive



Well, done typing this post I'm the happy me again. Fuck those bad lucks.


PS: lazy to double check. Forgive me for any grammar or what shit mistake.
PPS: swearing a lot. I'm sorry.

Love Always Wins

I love how behind every single window, there is a different person who has a story that we know nothing about.

Last Friday morning, we lost the one we loved and respected. I felt as if we had grown up overnight. The death was so close, so sudden, so heartbreaking. No one can confidently say that he will still be living tomorrow. I know at this moment, word itself has very limited assuring effect, the hugs can't last for ever, all we can do is to stand by your side.

People take things for granted. A glass of warm milk prepared by mother in the morning. A lift to the bus station. A heartwarming smile from the passers-by. Even a glimpse of sunshine caught once you open your eyes. We are blessed in so many forms we often think it comes so naturally without appreciate each of them. Alway remember. Give thanks, spread love.


"Love wins. Love always wins."

"This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work."

- Mitch Albom, Tuesday with Morrie.

Those we hold closest never leave us, they live on in the kindness they've shared and the love they brought into our lives. We will miss you.


unconditional love,
Ee

最近

昨晚临睡前趴在床上看书
播了纯吉他音乐
（Sungha Jung如果你认识他的话）
结果读累了不想起身
就这样放任音乐播放
哪知道
吉他根本不适合陪伴入睡啊
还是纯钢琴比较催眠
害我到最后睡不着
还是得起身把它关掉



刚开始听说五福城要开图书馆时
根本没抱什么期待
想说新山这文化沙漠开什么图书馆
不知不觉
它落成了
其实跟我想象中的落差蛮大
好太多了
当然有这种设施
会员费也不便宜
我下不了手
可是现在除了泡咖啡馆
我有另一个可以溜达的地方了





说到咖啡馆
这是我碰过最恐怖的事件
喝咖啡喝到头上风扇的其中两个扇飞了出来
是哪招
好在人没事
不过身后的顾客就逃不过见血事件
（还好不至于头破血流）
想说应该是要列入黑名单了
几天后老姐说要去喝咖啡
嗯我就这样没原则的一起去了
哈哈
其实坐里面还是蛮安全的
因为室内是冷气
户外就要小心了




我们共同的兴趣
莫过于一起享受喝咖啡聊聊天的时间


上周末大姐光临马六甲
去了间我一直极力推崇的咖啡馆
哪知道水准根本是直线滑落
咖啡虽然好喝
可是蛋糕难吃惨了




这些日子遇见的他们

不再忙活动的日子
少了充实
和那大大的满足感
却多了自由惬意
和貌似用不完的时间
时光依旧流逝
只是在体内流动的血不再沸腾
逼近二十三岁的青春不再狂傲
回头看
大学五年里我们都变了不少




一直以来我都看到这个问题
问题的根本是
很多人都把别人的意见看的比自己的还重
这是你失去自我的开始
不理会在别人眼中的你
重要的是你怎么看自己
人是需要一些冲动才能果敢追求最向往的东西
但是让自己的冲动
变成别人眼中的愚蠢
是潜伏着的附带代价

真的
updated: 
现在才发现 
里头的good memories是
在夕阳下的奔跑，那是我逝去的青春耶
又中了万万没想到的毒
哈哈


之前提到的Sungha Jung
其中一首我最爱的cover
