Back at home, I'm trying to reconnect with every big and small details I have been missing since my seemingly dreadful exam weeks kick off.
I was back then thinking, exam is a killer!
Death, seems to be just another lifeless word u see on the newspaper, as long as it deals with people who has zero connection with u.
What if someday, death clinge on someone u know, someone u have feelings on?
Nah, let's be optimistic, don't burden ur minds with sorrows that don't exist yet, u might think.
My bestie's dad passed away, someone close is diagnosed with liver cancer, 4th stage.
How can that be without any signs or symptoms?
The clock is ticking, taking things for granted is what I always do.
Always appreciate, this is needed.

Sushi, Sashimi, Slurrp Slurrp Yummy!
Exam is over, OVER!
Tao became our celebration spot, my first taste of this buffet style, japanese cuisine.
I always loved this kind of pay once but eat-all-u-might meal!
We started off with the top ten dishes:
1. Abalone slices sprinkled with plastic like fuzhu skin.
2. Cheese covered scallop with the size of a 50 cents coin but much thicker. nicenicenice! (:
3. Gigantic oyster hidden like a treasure below a sticky film of cheesy chilly sauce.
4. Tempura, a mixture of prawns, brinjal and orangy sweet potato, served with special dark brown sauce.
5. Juicy mutton stick with a thick, finger-licking-good sauce.
6. Thin anchovy looking thin, slim fish which is meant to be eaten together with its bones. We spotted eggs within its stomach, not wanting to explore further, we just swallowed everything, excluding the head and tail =P
7. Cecilia's favourite smoked beef fried with spring onion.
8. Two cupfuls of slippery tofu which slid through our throats =P stuffed with crab meat and topped with slimmy shark's fin soup's gravy.
9. Cheesy crabmeat dumplings, tasted like mayonnaise.
10. Raw sashimi of squit and salmon. Too raw for us both, dislike, sorry expensive salmon.
Then, hands were raised for side dishes, yay yay yay!
We tasted Japanese shark's fin soup, moderate rating as it beared a chicken porridge taste.
Fruits, lots lots of fruits to shave our feelings of full.
And so we continued our eating marathon with smoked eel, more sushi.
We also had two cup each of cookie cream flavoured ice-cream!!
Our mission to eat from 6pm till 9pm was completed! wakaka =D

Malacca, a stylish taste of old.
I like this feeling of family even though the people involved aren't biologically connected to me as so.
And so I had my first trip to explore the historical site of Malacca, along with my 9 other coursemates, xiaopengyou (easy), sinyin, jiahui, weiting, yeekwan, cheeyan, xiaoguang, desmond and jasper.
It's one trip I enjoy, very relaxing, simple and filled with loud laughs, eyes squeezing happiness.
We searched for baba food which turns out to be nyonya food. (baba is nyonya's husband, we all conclude that lady cooks better =D)
Ole Sayang we went, reachable by walking distance from mahkota parade, keep walking straight until the end and u'll find this corner lot restaurant, painted in green.
We ordered asam pedas fish, sambal prawns, dry curry chicken, fried kangkung and salted vege soup.
Rice was served on banana leaf, in an inverted triangular, rottan, cap-like container.
The taste? Spicy swirled with a touch of sourness that woke our already hungry stomach, making us went, 'nice leh, munch munch munch, really very nice eh! Ahh, the soup, slurrrp, NICE!! I take more har.' Hahaha!
The waitress must be thinking, 'this bunch of kids must had been starved for ages liao!' =D
I won't forget the end part where everyone was too full to stuff in the remaining piece of fish.
We took 15 minutes to persuade, ok, actually is force the fish down the throats of our gentlemen.
Saviour every single bite! We aren't wasteful! Yeah!
Next, we headed to the very renown, Capitol Satay Celup.
80 cents per stick, yupyup, any stick, ranging from large prawns, shrimps, chicken meat, fishcakes, bean curd, fishballs, entangled kangkung balls, bird's egg, fried pork skin, sausages, stuffed taufu and more.
These uncooked food were lined neatly on the shelf of an open aired freezer, like those found in supermarket, with trays provided.
We waited for the attendent to pour in the thick, peanut filled mixture of satay sauce, boiled it for a few minutes and we started dipping our sticks of choice in and out.
Messy but steaming fun! =D
Not say super yummy, but it was something different, and the atmosphere of steamboating with the whole gang, worthed it I would say! (:
We wouldn't miss out malacca's chicken rice balls, served as spheres of rice.
Ah ni was true, the original shop was one that needed neither sophisticated renovations nor was it air-conditioned, instead, it just laid humbly, with the owner guarding the steel fence, limiting the number of guests based on the availability of seats and food left.
Good quality control indeed haha.
We also went river cruising, up Taming Sari, A Famosa, The Ship (static one), Muziums (lots of them), Jonker Street, biscuit hunting, souvenir shopping and cendol tasting (all kinds of flavour we tasted, me like durian! =D)
All in all, pepsi fits my feeling best, I'm 'Asking For More'.
