happy father’s day..

back when i was little, everyone used to say i look like my dad..

and how i hate it when being told that..

but now, i’m glad to be daddy’s little girl..

love you daddy, this song is for you..

There’s two things I know for sure
She was sent here from heaven
And she’s daddy’s little girl
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night
She talks to Jesus and I close my eyes
And I thank God for all of the joy in my life
Oh but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk beside the pony daddy it’s my first ride
I know the cake looks funny daddy but I sure tried

Oh with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every mornin’
And butterfly kisses at night

Sweet 16 today
She’s lookin’ like her mama a little more every day
One part woman the other part girl
To perfume and make up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world
But I remember

Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
You know how much I love you daddy
But if you don’t mind
I’m only gonna kiss you on the check this time

Oh with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin’
And butterfly kisses at night

All the precious time
Like the wind the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly

She’ll change her name today
She’ll make a promise and I’ll give her aways
Standing in the bride room just staring at her
She asked me what I’m thinkin’
And I said I’m not sure
I just feel like I’m loosin’ my baby girl
And she leaned over

Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Stickin’ little white flowers all up in her hair
Walk me down the isle daddy
It’s just about time
Does my wedding gown look pretty daddy?
Daddy’s don’t cry

Oh with all that I’ve done wrong
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every mornin’
And butterfly kisses

I couldn’t ask God for more than this is what love is
I know I’ve got to let her go but I’ll always remember
Every hug in the mornin’ and butterfly kisses

ppssssttt.. If I ever do get married, i want this song playing in the background hehe..

We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.

My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us.

My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. And I mean, he was really friendly.

So I asked, ‘Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!’

This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, ‘The Law of the Garbage Truck.’

He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.

As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Don’t take it personally.

Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day.

Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,

So … Love the people who treat you right.

Pray for the ones who don’t.

Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Have a blessed, garbage-free day!

I LOVE YOU!!

we didn’t really do anything special this year, but spent quality time together the entire weekend.. mum picked her own “present” which is a nougat from France and imported choco mint pudding.. isn’t she the cutest??

for dinner, she choose to eat at Bliss 33 which is nearby our house and serves good food at affordable prices..

Mum ordered the Sizzling steak

forRM 16.90 it sure was a steal as the cut was thick with a pink centre.. yum!!

my order was sambal petai fish fillet (RM9.90)

the fish fillet was so succulent complimented by crunchy dried prawns..

my only complaint?? NOT ENOUGH!! lol

grilled chicken with mushroom rice (RM9.90)

grilled lamb chop (RM 10.90) was sinfully good!!

salted egg butter squid was the star of the night.. (RM 9.90)

tender squid coated in light batter deep fried in egg and salted egg

if only there was no such thing as hypercholesterolemia and obesity..

another winner would be their mango smoothie (RM 5.20)

topped with whipped cream, the slightly tangy drink made the perfect end to our meal

there are 3 seperate seating areas

the outside area with a nice pond

inside dining area

and another lounge style section.

the menu wasn’t very extensive but it had a variety of cuisines to choose from..

they have malaysian, italian pasta, western food, and thai tom yam

they also have chinese style breakfast such as half boiled eggs and toast

not to mention a huge variety of drinks with Cendol as their specialty!

the highly recommended mee mamak certainly did not disappoint.

at RM 7.90, the portion was generous with extra vegetable as requested along with prawns and squid.

with an extra dose of lime, it was good till the last bite

pasta alfredo (RM9.90) came with generous helping of chicken, sausages and shitake mushroom

given a choice between spaghetti and fetucinni, this dish was simply comforting on a cold rainy day..

they have a variety of other pastas too

since we’re both pretty ravenous we ordered a cheezy wedges to share..

for RM 5, the portion was humongous with liberal dosing of cheese sauce, the wedges were crisp to the last bit!

for those in sban, its a definitely must try..

jenlye claims its better than kensington and pizza italia!

And now, some 43 levels later..

as you can see, there is barely any space to modify..

feeling a little bored, i have decided to Interior Design my brother’s restaurant..

and tada!! the mexican theme is so cute..

I’m loving it!!

till the next time when boredom strikes with full force,

good thing i have another brother..

*rubs hands with glee*

bwahahahhaha!!

just to show you some photos of my  new room, which i love to bits!!

the area..

the bed.. this senior is a really neat guy isn’t he?? even i don’t fold my blankets *shy*

many storage cupboards to store my rubbish.. and no, the dumbells aren’t mine..

the toilet even has a bathtub!! mind you, the yellow stains are the result of age.. its pretty clean though..

little conference on the landing.. good thing the staircase doesn’t have holes.. hate those!!

in short, i’m really looking forward to staying there!! now, to get through EOS 9.. *shiver*

Finally a more formal looking bag to match my uni clothes.. time for my trusty pink NIKE backpack to retire..

Am loving it!!

Always had a thing for Baileys Irish Coffee??

If the answer is yes to both, you gotta try this simple recipe, only takes 20 minutes to prepare and another 20 to bake, and variable time to decorate *wink*

170g flour

140g sugar (actual recipe says 170g but I feel 140g is just nice when eaten with the icing)

80 g butter (actual recipe is 125g so my cupcake is abit dry *sniff*)

2 eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

4 tbsp milk

60 g chocolate chips (maybe white choc chips might be better aesthetically as it doesn’t stand out so much)

LASIK on YouTube

this is Wikipedia’s take on the procedure:

LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK is performed by ophthalmologistslaser. LASIK is similar to other surgical corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) though it provides benefits such as faster patient recovery. Both LASIK and PRK represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of vision problems, and are thus viable alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many patients.

The operation is performed with the patient awake and mobile; however, the patient is sometimes given a mild sedative (such as Valium) and anesthetic eye drops.

LASIK is performed in three steps. The first step is to create a flap of corneal tissue. The second step is remodeling of the cornea underneath the flap with the laser. Finally, the flap is repositioned.

The surveys determining patient satisfaction with LASIK have found most patients satisfied, with satisfaction range being 92–98 percent. A meta-analysis dated March 2008 performed by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery over 3,000 peer-reviewed articles published over the past 10 years in clinical journals from around the world, including 19 studies comprising 2,200 patients that looked directly at satisfaction, revealed a 95.4 percent patient satisfaction rate among LASIK patients worldwide.

The risk for a patient of suffering from disturbing visual side effects such as halos, double vision (ghosting), loss of contrast sensitivity (foggy vision) and glare after LASIK depends on the degree of ametropia before the laser eye surgery and other risk factors. For this reason, it is important to take into account the individual risk potential of a patient and not just the average probability for all patients. The following are some of the more frequently reported complications of LASIK^:

• Surgery induced dry eyes
• Overcorrection or undercorrection
• Very Low level vitamin D – Sun sensitivity
• Visual acuity fluctuation
• Halos or starbursts around light sources at night
• Light sensitivity
• Ghost images or double vision
• Wrinkles in flap (striae)
• Decentered ablation
• Debris or growth under flap
• Thin or buttonhole flap
• Induced astigmatism
• Corneal Ectasia
• Floaters
• Epithelium erosion

So what do you guys think?? Dare to give it a try??

I for one feel skeptical about it, cos i don’t think that wearing spectacles pose a problem neither in terms of convenience or cosmetic *wink*

was that a YES i hear??

then you got to try this simple recipe, i’m not kidding its so addictive i’m eating ‘em as i write this..

before baking…

*in RED are my adjustments to this recipe*

125g butter,softened, chopped (I cut it down to 100g, next time even lesser!!)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/4 cups (275g) firmly packed brown sugar (180g)
1 egg
1cup (150g) plain flour
1/4 cup (35g) self-raising flour
1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda
1/3 cup (35g) cocoa powder
1/2 cup (85g) coarsely chopped raisins
1/2 cup (95g) milk Choc Bits
1/2 cup (75g) white chocolate Melts, halved
1/2 cup (75g) dark chocolate Melts, halved

(Milk Choc Bits, White Choc melts and dark choc melts were replaced by 245g Hershley’s semisweet choc chips)

1 Preheat oven to 180′C/160′C fan-forced. Grease oven trays.
2 Beat butter, extract, sugar and egg in small bowl with electric mixer until smooth; do not overbeat. Stir in sifted dry ingredients, then raisins and all the chocolate.
3 Drop level tablespoons of mixture onto trays, allowing 5cm between each cookie; bake about 10 minutes. Stand cookies 5 minutes before transferring to wire rack to cool.

makes 36 (its rather huge, so you may wanna make smaller crunchier cookies)
preparation time 10 minutes (are you kidding me???)
cooking time 10 minutes per tray
tips For a firmer cookie, bake an extra 2 minutes. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

and, ENJOY!!
