There's a blog i often read. Its http://theschnauzerblog.blogspot.com/.
Eric has 3 Miniature Schnauzer. Stephy, Ally and Fatty. Stephy is the mother of Ally and Fatty. She is turning 5 next month. After calculating, she is approximately 35 years old human years.
Stephy died on the 20th July 2009 due to an accident.
I pray that she will be reunited with her lost puppy.. (Is it Chillies?).. and Ally and Fatty's father.
Rest in peace Stephy. I will always remember u..

我以前有一位钢琴老师。妈妈请她到家里来叫我弹琴。 我没有很尊重老师,还常常不做功课,每次上课都被骂!但有一件事是我一直以来都有做的,就是每当老师到我家时,我都会向老师请安,而且会倒一杯水给她。
现在的孩子啊, 真得不懂得什么是尊师重道。连孩子家里的佣人都懂得称呼我一声。“hi, teacher”,“Good Morning”, “Apa khabar Teacher”。
学生呢,是重来不主动叫我或更我问好。当然,我在他们心目中完全只是打扰他们吃喝玩乐,看电视,打电脑的一个人。或是,父母请回来逼他们把空闲的时间用在弹琴上的一个人。
我重来没听见这群学生,主动地叫我一生,或更我问好。更不要说要劳烦他们用宝贵时间倒一杯水给我喝。上课时,问他们明不明白,也只是点头或摇头。教他们倒杯水还不如自己带水去。面的学生要拉大嗓子叫佣人,“Kakak! Bawa air untuk cikgu”! 有时真的觉得“晒气”。
有一位富家子弟,今年9岁。照理应该很容易教。可是,他遗传了妈妈的性格。斤斤计较。连上课的时间,少一分一秒都会更他妈报告。 他4pm放学。人住 Sg Buloh 却在市中心 Jalan Kuching 读名校。5pm 由司机在回家。他妈给他三十分的时间冲凉,吃点心。5.30pm 上我的课到 6.15pm 。6.30pm 请了补习老师上门补习。8pm 补完习,吃晚餐。8.30pm 做功课。练琴。10pm 上床睡觉。6am 起身上学。可怜的孩子啊。怪不得他已经在倒数下个月的学校假期还有几天呢。哦!还有,忘了告诉你。我叫了半年还没见过他家长呢!妈妈更我是电话联络的。佣人负责把学费交给我。
其实,不只他而已。我手上的学生很多都是这样子。
今天上完课,我更他说:“bye bye, see u next week.” 他竟然没回答我。只顾着玩它的手机游戏。当我很不爽的责问他是不是不会道谢很说再见,他竟然点头而已。完全没补上他应该说的话。
尊师重道的释义:
道:指教师指引的应该遵循的道理,也指教师传授的知识。尊敬师长,重视老师的教导。

Been cooking a few dishes recently since me and sean are really tired of eating out. So in the evenings, i would go Jusco to buy some raw stuff to cook. I tried Carbonara which turns out too watery. I also cooked Gingko Barley Foo Chuk (腐竹白果薏米) last sunday which turns out PERFECT!! hehe... :P
Today's dinner is Brocolli with Sweet Peas and Seafood and Spam... (Luncheon Meat or 午餐肉).
So while shopping for something to cook at Cold Storage the other day.. i decided to make Tiramisu. A simple and easy "pick me up"...
Ingredients are as the picture below.
Substitute for Mascarpone Cheese are Cream Cheese while substitute for Lady Fingers are Sponge Cake.
First, beat egg yolks and 2 tablespoon sugar in a bowl. slowly add in mascarpone cheese. Beat till stiff.
Beat egg whites with a pinch of salt in a separate bowl till soft peaks forms. Slowly fold egg whites into the Cheese mixture.
Prepare a strong cup of black coffee or you can ta pau some Espresso from Starbucks (around 5-6 shots with 5-6 shots of water). Pour the coffee into a flat plate. Dip lady fingers in the coffee and quickly arrange it into the container. Pour a layer of cheese evenly on top and then repeat by a layer of Lady fingers then cheese and so on till its done.
Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top to garnish.
Basically, i use 1 tablespoon of Nescafe Gold for every half cup of water. u can actually omit the sugar cuz lady fingers are sweet already. Cocoa powder can be omitted too. U can either serve it in a cup or cake pan.. Up to u.. i put it in a cake pan and used a spoon to eat.. lol...
If u were to use sponge cake.. just cut the sponge cake into an inch thick, deep into coffee, and do it layer by layer.
I use 20" cake pan and i can only do one layer of finger and one layer of cheese. The ingredients are expensive. The Mascarpone cheese is around RM20 and the Lady fingers are RM 7-8...
Lastly, the taste... well i would say its more cheesy and have a stronger coffee taste than those served in the cafe and cake shops. Some cake shops dont use lady fingers while some use a lot of "unidentified stuff" in the cheese mixture making it taste like NO CHEESE.
Plz search for another recipe if u were to use Cream Cheese to be safe. Tee Hee...

i remember the story of The Tortoise and The Hare (Hare means Rabbit la...) was in my standard 3 textbook. At that time, i do not know the moral of the story. I don't know now either. Anyway, i heard something really funny on the radio today.
"the first time the tortoise and the hare race, the tortoise won."
"after so many years, the hare decided to race with the tortoise again. Why did the tortoise won again this time?"
The answer is......

This friend of mine used to tell me that 海龟 is SEA TURTLE in English. He added the word SEA... another typical Chinese who is leaving to Switzerland soon to further his studies. Good Luck friend!

Went to Malaysia Pet World 2009 in Mid Valley this afternoon. Won't even go Mid Valley if its not because i have to help Honey to take care of lexus just in case she need to stays back after the grooming competition. I am a bit disappointed at the amount of booths there. The placings of the booths are too close to each other so its a bit cramp when walking. Its Friday today and its like this... don't know what will happen on weekends. Another thing is, MV is NOT PET FRIENDLY AT ALL. Don't understand why would the management want to hold the event at MV.
Here are some pics from the event.
