She
May be the face I can't forget
The trace of pleasure or regret
May be my treasure or the price I have to pay
She
May be the song that summer sings
May be the chill that autumn brings
May be a hundred different things
Within the measure of a day
She
May be the beauty or the beast
May be the famine or the feast
May turn each day into a heaven or a hell
She may be the mirror of my dreams
The smile reflected in a stream
She may not be what she may seem
Inside her shell
"Penyet" refers to smashed/crushed. One of the popular indonesian cuisines is the "Ayam Penyet"; a crushed chicken with fab chilli and rice.
On Friday, my colleagues and i went to this small restaurant at Lucky Plaza and I am surprised by how packed the restuarant is. The food is really very yummy! We tried a series of different kinds of "penyets".
This is my "Pomfret Penyet"
"Ayam Penyets" the more popular choice as always.
"Catfish Penyet" a fave among Thais (according to my colleague and she's a Thai!)
The pretty girls known as the Monkeys.. lolz, coz they're always noisy and hyper (our attachment joy)
& that's mixed nationality for you. Guess who's what?
This bird was nipping happily away and totally ignoring me (not that i am complaining) while i was at the Chinese Garden yesterday. These days, i always walk home through the Chinese Garden. After a day of work, the walk makes me feel better and lighter.
What do you do to make yourself happier at the end of the day or to relax?
Whatever it is, as long as it works its magic, i am glad for you. :)
I wish to embrace life. Colorful, beautiful life. I'd like to bring to life; the people and place around me. Please let me feel alive and that i am living meaningfully. Please let me feel more thankful for being alive.
I desire for good and undisturbed sleep. I cannot remember when was the last time i slept properly from night till dawn without waking in the middle of the night. Perhaps its a year ago. Perhaps longer.
I wish to believe in miracles. I wish that by trying, a miracle will really happen to me. I just want that one miracle... but. I do not believe my miracle will happen. I wish I believe in miracles.
I wish to get somewhere too. Somewhere desirably good.
My single most wish and hope and desire is to be happy. I wish i can grin like the picture below. I want to be happy.
Okie, so it's not Vogue after all, and its not exactly a big change, but well, i did promised a couple of you to put up pictures of my latest haircut so... there you go: Sometimes, i do wish to make a huge changeto my appearance so that nobody recognizes me. I guess that is a form of escape too huh? It's weird but people who does not know me well always have a wrong impression of me and i always feel indignant enough to protest: No, im not as sweet as you may like to think. No, im not as good as you like to know. No, im nowhere close to being an angel. I'm not shy, im just anti-social. Looks can be so deceiving after all.
Lyn managed to capture me looking at my worst, but well, there's the real me ba. Dearie Lyn + Me Wow.. playing with my toy again~ Getting prettier n prettier~ I look fat huh? The hair nest~ Purple dye with red highlights~ No effect hair treatment. ..da da da.... That's about all!
I was telling a friend that we are going to celebrate the birthday of a dear friend, Yilin, and my friend replied "AGAIN?" Hmm.. according to my friend, I just celebrated Yilin's birthday a couple of times not so long ago this year. That kinda set me thinking...time really must have passed very quickly, as the last time we celebrated her birthday; it must have been last year (obviously!). Anyway, I got this lomo effect toy to attach to my camera and its like a 3-in-one effect. Anyway, today's Yilin's bday so I wish my dear friend have a good time and may wishes come true. :)
Trying out my new toy~
Getting the hang of it while we wait for our table...

The Old Guitarist, 1903
If thou must love me, let it be for nought Except for love's sake only.
Do not say, I love her for her smile, her look, her way of speaking gently, for a trick of thought that falls in well with mine, and, certes, brought a sense of pleasant ease on such a day.
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may be changed, or change for thee- and love so wrought, may be unwrought so.
Browning, Elizabeth Barrett
