It’s not the same for vegetarian
When I scrub my kitchen I don’t just scrub. I think about my future, my present, my past. That’s how I meditate.
Sometimes I tried to find explanation to why some non-vegetarians can’t seem to leave vegetarians alone.
Let’s take a look at some remarks non-vegetarian co-workers made on my choice of lifestyle, which I’ll usually laugh over it, but saying something else in my head:
1. Oh just eat the pork la, we won’t tell anybody.
- I am not forbided from eating meat. I do not crave for meat. How I quit eating meat to become a vegetarian is not the same as how some drug addicts vow to lose the habit but sneak around at the backlane.
2. You’re a vegetarian because you don’t want animals to die. But you’re killing plants. How do you live with that? It just doesn’t make sense.
- The same way you live with your food preferences. Only wiser.
3. Come on, let’s join us for barbecue. The food going to be black anyway, so you won’t be able to tell meat or vege.
- Does meat eating make you stupid? If not, why can’t you tell the difference?
4. I assume you’re eating meat again, since you’re using a container with KFC logo on it.
- So if you are using a container from SWORDSMAN brand, are you eating the man, and his SWORD too?
5. You should stop breathing too cause you’re breathing in a lot of micro-organisms. And vegetarians like you don’t want them to die right?
- Should I have my body to shut down the immune system too? Cos its afterall killing bacteria inside my body.
6. Is your bf a vegetarian too? (No.) Oh pity him, he can’t enjoy meat when he’s with you.
- Do you know my bf?
7. Let’s say you have dinner with your bf and his family, what’s the arrangement? (Err, nothing special, I’ll just eat the vege dishes.) Man, look what trouble you brought them.
- Do you know my bf’s family?
8. (I was eating this vegetarian bak kua (mock smoked meat) at the pantry) Hey she’s eating BAKUA! Come everybody, let’s all witness. She’s eating meat again!
- Are you guys betting on when I’ll eat meat again?
Little Kenadie
I am not giving up on finding more info about the Malaysia’s 小不点 and found THIS instead (again):
She’s so adorable but from the video she looks quite active and naughty. Haha!
World’s smallest teenage girl
OK don’t ask me why but last night, out of no where, I thought about this girl in Malaysia so small in size she was given the nick 小不点 by the local chinese newspaper.
I wonder how old is she now, what is she doing for a living, etc?
Can’t find information about her on the internet but stumbled into THIS(!!)instead:
Jyoti
or read the article here:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-557762/Tiny-teenager-India-smallest-girl-world.html
“Due to her size, Jyoti has to have clothes and jewellery made for her. She sleeps in a tiny bed and uses special plates and cutlery to eat, as normal-sized utensils are too big.”
Is that cute to the max or what?! She stands at 57.5cm and weighs only 5kg!
She’s lighter than my new PENTEC double burner gas stove, imagine! My gas stove is so light it moves when I fry something. OK not related.
So does anyone know about the 小不点 of Malaysia?
So tempted!How?
Air Asia is having the zero fuel surcharge promotion and the PG-KK roundtrip will only cost me RM60! I’m SO TEMPTED!
Should I just book even if there’s nobody going with me, yet? Afterall it’s only RM60. How?
Or should I go Tawau? It’s also RM60 but have to fly from KL. So the total airfare (if i can get RM60 PG-KL) would be RM120. Still cheap. How?
How? How? How?
I cannot work. HOW?
I am loving and hating Air Asia now. Help!
I LOVE SABAH
Walaueh I’m going to miss SABAH like a child misses their blanket!
That’s the paradise for a GIRLS-JUST-WANNA-HAVE-FUN vacation! The locals are so kind and friendly, especially the guys, dark tanned skin and that cute accent! OMG!!!
OK I think I owe some apologies to the whole Penisular because I kinda mempersiasuikan us by being so jakun about the sea and everything.
First I screamed in the water with my snorkeling mask. Yes it is possible. My friend heard me screaming and wonder if she’s going to see dolphins. But what do you expect me to do? Try having a sea cucumber like 5 inches away from your face in the sea! I know the boat guide was just being nice but it was damn geli ok!
Second I asked really stupid questions and actually expected serious answers. I didn’t have my watch while I snorkel so I asked the life guard nearby for the time (who started talking to me first!). I dunno why I assumed he would have a watch but when he said he didn’t have one, you wouldn’t believe what I said. I actually asked if he can tell the time by looking at the sun. He gave me this really weird look, like wanna laugh dun wanna laugh, which I totally deserve la. My friend was already rolling on the floor laughing, if that’s possible in the sea. But I can defend my action! When we were on the other island, I asked the boat guide and he told me the time by looking at the sun and it was quite accurate. So I thought it’s something every island people knows. OK? But later the life guard managed to tell me the time also, by whistling to his friends on the shore and with some sign language that I dont comprehend. And that was SO GAYA.
So girls, please save SABAH for your girlie getaway, it’s only half the fun if you go with your boyfriend or husband. SERIOUS!
Btw, we stood at the TIP OF BORNEO where the South China Sea and Sulu Sea meet. That’s AWESOME! We drove 3 hours from KK to KUDAT and the long journey was really worth it. Tip of Borneo or Tanjung Simpang Mengayau is definitely a super cool place, if not the coolest, in the whole Malaysia!
I just need to complain
Happy Birthday to me.
It’s also time of the month and my mood has been and is still swinging and my tolerance limit has shrunk to nano scale.
There are a million things to complain and its all abt SUE. Generally, I’m OKAY with her except she says the weirdest opinion, or is haolian-est a closer description?
Things SUE dislikes or is against orb is irritated with:
1. Any websites in chinese language becos they are geli (www.sinchew.com.my geli meh?)
2. Pretty girls because they don’t have to work hard and guys will just help her out, credit to her pretty face. (I’m offended for a very obvious reason! LOL!)
SUE is:
1. A chinese
2. Female
Is it even possible to be racist towards your own race and sexist towards your own species? Yes it is. Who knows one day she might slant her eyes at chinese and tell women to stay home.
What’s eating me recently?
It’s been a while.
I’ve had many weird dreams, the weirdest would be the sea expidition trip where I had to go to this secret underwater place through, guess what, A SQUAT TOILET! And I remembered the guide warned us to lookout for EXIT 27 during the trip back cos we would be very miserable if we missed it.
I also dreamt that I had a big fight with my sister whom in reality, I am not really talking to her because there’re things she did and continue doing (that some might think is really petty) that makes me feel uncomfortable. It all started when she brought home a parasite and I dread to go back to the home I once missed a lot.
It may seem like the parasite is the cause for my misery but honestly I think I am my own misery. I thought about evil plans to make the parasite feel unwanted but I didn’t really carry out any except ignoring its existence.
Or I can try to give charity and allow shelter for the parasite though I don’t want to. It’s a lot easier if the parasite decided or have to crawl back to its nest far far away but life is never that expected.
I wanna make peace but I don’t wanna make peace. I think the conflict is with myself, not the parasite, not my sister, which is why I wanted badly but couldn’t share this with my best friend whom I shared almost everything.
It’s my birthday tomorrow. Can evil wish come true without penalty?
Proper way to dispose unwanted cooking oil
How do you dispose the unwanted cooking oil, especially after frying?
I have been pouring the them down the sink until I saw a government message on TV saying that is not the right thing to do. And since my government decided to tell me what’s wrong but leave me to ponder what’s right, I turned to the internet.
Why shouldn’t I just pour used cooking oil down the drain? Because cooking oil and grease poured down the drain can build up in pipes causing backups at home, into streets and the storm drain system. Overflows can happen and pose health and environmental hazards. Clogged drains with stagnant water is a haven for aedes mosquito larvae.
If the amount of oil is small:
1. You can use paper towel or newspaper to absorb the unwanted cooking oil and throw it into the garbage bin, or
2. You can carefully pour it into a strong sealable container, such as an old plastic jar with a lid, or just any unwanted mineral water bottle.
If the amount of oil is large:
1. You can freeze it to solidify the oil and throw it into the garbage bin, or
2. You can use any solidifying agents like cat litter, sawdust or sand.
If the amount of oil is HUMONGOUS:
1. You can try to ask if any restaurants would take them since they usually sell them to the oil recycling vendors, or
2. You can contact your local authority, or
3. If you think the above 2 steps are irrealistically mafan, just cut down your oil intake, since too much of oil is neither good for the body and the drain.
So let’s remember never to pour cooking oil down the drain anymore.
I referred to the following websites:

My bathroom, hazardous?
Yesterday, I filled up a recycled mineral water bottle with Dynamo detergent (lemon fragrance, creamy yellow in colour) to put inside the bathroom.
Man it looks like a bottle of mango yogurt drink!
Then I thought, I can’t have this if I have small kids at home. The colour and the smell are so delicious they might mistaken it as yogurt drink, consumed it, poisoned, and DIE!!
But I don’t have kids la, just 2 working adults in the house. I don’t think this mango yogurt wannabe can cause any hazardous to us.
“Eh, do you know what this is?” I asked the other adult in the house.
“DUH..” he said.
“Then what is this?” I asked again.
Confidently he said “Mango yogurt ler!”
=.=
I have the word DYNAMO written all over the bottle now. I don’t wanna take any risk.
Who knows what he craves for in the bathroom!
How clean is my house?
I aggressively scrubbed my kitchen during the weekend, and then I stumbled into this on Monday morning (as if the thought of having to work is not disturbing enough):
“A recent seven-country survey conducted by the Hygiene Council, a global panel of medical experts, found that Malaysian kitchens were more bacteria-infested than bathrooms.”
“Overall, Malaysian homes were found to be the dirtiest among all the countries studied, right after India. The cleanest abodes were found in Saudi Arabia.”
http://www.nst.com.my/Current_News/NST/Monday/Frontpage/2349934/Article/index_html
OMG is this for real??!!!
So after work, my bathroom went through an hour of intense cleaning. Just in case if anybody would ask for me to participate in such survey, and I would be too proud to say NO because only people with dirty homes are afraid of such auditing.
INFERIORITY COMPLEX?
My bathroom and kitchen are squeaky CLEAN now. I’m still not volunteering for any audit or survey.
