One fine day in 2003, I decided to start a food blog to tease my sister and my mother who were both living in the USA. Somehow, along the way, I ended up feeding a lot of people just via the food pictures that I put up everyday. In 2005, I decided to take a break from blogging and just take it easy. So there were sporadic posts from my travels in the US as well as Germany and England. Now in 2009, I'm trying to pick it up again and start chronicaling my journey towards a better lifestyle that is more healthy than what it currently is right now.

: : 1001 Seafoods.com ~ Gourmet Fish Recipes : :

I got an email about a week ago from Gerardo Noriega to exchage links. It’s been a busy week so only got to do it now. At the same time as editing the blog, I got a reminder from him too! LOL!

His site is called 1001 Seafoods.com ~ Gourmet Fish Recipes. Sounds very interesting and there’s already 50 recipes listed. If you wish to contribute a recipe, you can do so at this page. You can also put your recipe on your own website and still publish the link at this site.

It’ll be interesting to see how fast 1001 recipes can be found worldwide and without repeats! Can’t wait.

: : Music in my Kitchen : :

A meme from Stef.

What is the total number of music files on your computer?

Hmm…I think about less than 100 files. Seldom listen to music while online because it tends to slow down the online gaming session. Hee hee… haven’t kick that addiction yet.

The CD you last bought?

I think it was David Scheel’s Dont Shoot Me, I’m only the Piano Player. LOL! That was because I attended his piano recital at the request of my cousin last year. Well, it was a humourous session to say the least and we all couldn’t stop laughing. It was as an unorthodox piano recital and definitely a great introduction to piano classical music.

(I can hear open jaws falling down.)

Sad to say that the CD recording quality could be better. Some were very good, others not really.

What is the song you last listened to before reading this message?

I think it was in the cafeteria. One of the many many Chinese New Year music. Think it was about Chai sen tau @ God of Prosperity/MONEY.

(Think us Chinese are too obsess with money. Gold just makes us all tingle.)

Write down 5 songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.

Hmm….well, let’s skip the often listen to and get down to the one that means a lot. In no apparent order :

The Most Beautiful Girl in the World

Not Prince’s version. The oldie one. I remember being 11-12 years old when my Dad was showing me his vinyl record collection. And this was one of the songs that I remembered.

The Glory of Love

What can I say? Chicago is one of my all-time favourite bands.

We Build this City on Rock and Roll

I discovered Rock and Roll with Starship.

Girls all the Bad Guys want

It was the style of music and not the song! LOL! Protests will get me nowhere. Reminds me of being fun and crazy.

(Don’t faint, Dad. I wasn’t that crazy.)

One Week

Barenaked Ladies always gives me a good laugh. And the 1st time I heard this song, I couldn’t stop laughing. Haven’t stop since. Song reminds me of KL student days. When I was big (and still am) on alternative music.

Which is now known as many names.

Who are you going to pass this stick to (3 persons) and why?

Jas – My sis because her taste in music is usually better than mine.

DrLiew – Check out his blog recently after I haven’t been visiting it much. Suddenly remembered how humourous his blog is so may be interesting to find out what his taste in music is like. A doctor’s humour on a great day. Read up on him and his escapades with his nurses.

Stephanie – It will definitely be interesting, that’s for sure. And she will most likely put up a great picture with it too!

Now, the state of my refurbished PC. Well, it’s working now but I found that they uninstall the picture editing software. Sigh. Now I have to install it back so that the pictures can be edited. So, sorry guys, gotta wait a little bit longer then.
