Cincang cili lumat lumat

Hari ni cakap kat mak nak masak ikan talapia masak cili. Tapi cili merah tu tak nak tumbuk macam biasa. Nak bagi mak makan macam mana org masak masa duduk hostel dulu.
Kat hostel sebenarnya tak boleh masak, tapi kitorang seludup masuk multicooker and masak dalam bilik. Sshhh~ hahaha. Pastu dah kata pun seludup je kan, maka takde la blender atau lesung batu. So bila teringin nak buat nasi goreng ke, makanan yg bercili ke, ni lah caranya. Cincang cili tu sehalus yang mampu. Dlm gambar tu tak cukup halus lagi. Tp tangkap gambar dulu takut lupa. Hehe.
P/s: rindu nak masak2 dalam bilik dgn exroommate yg skrg tengah pregnant. Hehe. Congrats, zyd! ;D

We also got the sourvenir, a notebook and a button badge. Yay! First stuff i got from IMU. Haha. Plus, I got a button badge to add to my collection. Yes I collect button badges. But it has been awhile since I buy or got a new one. :D

#iheartborneo My Kota Kinabalu Trip - Day 1

Remember the return ticket to Kota Kinabalu that I won from IHeartBorneo, sponsored by FireFly? Well, I claimed it and went to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah with Mum last weekend. I don’t plan to write down the details of each places I went to, cos i’ll do it later in my Travel Blog. But here is how my trip went.

So the trip started as early as 5am, me and mum went to KLIA to go on board on a 655am flight to Kota Kinabalu. Flight took off at around 700am.

9 must-have items for Chinese New Year

Being a Malay myself, I don’t recall having anything in particular that we need to prepare for Hari Raya Aidilfitri or Aidiladha that symbolic for anything. We just prepare variety of dishes, new clothes and decorate our house for the guest like any other religion would do as celebrating their own ‘raya’.

I was reading The Sun this morning and came across a simple yet informative article regarding how the Chinese celebrates the Chinese New Year. I remember visited my former primary schoolmate -Cheong Ee Wan's house during Chinese New Year and another friend, Narveen's house for Deepavali. Those were the days when I celebrated all the 'raya' in Malaysia. I think I have less multiracial friends now. Or I do, but I just don't share the celebration with them anymore.

We live in Malaysia with different races, religions and cultures. I don’t know if you like to get to know their cultures, but I do. So I’m sharing what I read about celebrating Chinese New Year with those who are interested to know as well.
