margarita, yaaaaammmsennngggg!!!

A girl's bestfriend is not another girl or diamond. It's MARGARITA.

A Hispanic originated cocktail which is really darn easy to make, here's how. This is the traditonal recipe, anyways. You can always make a mango or strawberry or even lychee margarita!

Okay, you'll need:-

1. Three quarter of tequila
2. Two quarter of orange flavored liquor (should try the lychee flavour for alternative)
3. A quarter of fresh lime juice
4. Coarse kosher salt (to 'rim' the margarita glass)
5. Lime wedge
6. Ice cubes

**for non-alcoholic Margarita, forget the tequilla and swap the orange flavoured liquor for lemonade concentrate instead.

Then....steps to prepare:-

1. Add the tequila, orange liquor and lime juice in a shaker or a jug (mix it well), if you want it frozen style then blender all the drinks with ice cubes
2. Moisten the rim of the glass with lime
3. Then salt the rim of the glass
4. Fill the glass with ice cubes or ice cracks
5. Pour the content into a cocktail/margarita glass, cheh, any glass will do la..
6. Put a slice of lime at the rim or strawberry or lemon
7. Aloha... take a sip... mama-mia.. ;)

If you find it to difficult (especially pea-sized brain peeps) or is just plain lazy to make your own Margarita, head to Chillis and order 'Ultimate Margarita'. You'll love it.. ;)

Let's yaaammmmm seng!!

how bad can it be?

A friend of mine is going to a shitty phase in his life where he lost almost everything that is dear to him. I reckon I know how it feels to be in his shoe. I'm aware that he's in no shape to stand on his feet again for now, but I believe that he will someday. Its just a matter of time. His situation had led my thinking to the times when I'm at lost or in difficult situation.

I always calm myself down by saying, "How bad can it be, Jann? Relax." I always think positively that everything will be fine in the end. And it ALWAYS did. Its amazing how I managed to pass over the hurdles everytime.

So, dear, if you're reading this, you'll be fine eventually. Trust me. I've been there, done that. ;)

&#@#!%$^&^&$(*#

Interesting revelation of the century = I can beat the crap out of a man. And it was pure instinct, not the black belt 2cd Dan moves. I thought my knuckle would hurt the most, instead, the damage is deep inside where no doctors (even my very own med-student-doctor-wannabe) can heal.

Life's really a bitch..

long vacation..

I'm tired. Really am. No no, I'm not a grumpy old whinner, just need to blab it out for the sake of sanity. Okay, that may sound exaggerating, well yea, maybe it is a little bit, but I seriously don't give a shit.

Let's just say that since I turned two decades old, I haven't had a good rest until now. Always working and studying and working, working, working... pay this, pay that.. take care of this, take care of that.... pick up this pieces, pick up THAT pieces... sacrifice myself for the sake of someone elses..

The only break I took was a month break in December 2005 before I continued studying again. And....continued with various part-time job, dealing with shitty things and obnoxious people as life goes by... a vicious cycle, really.

PENAT NAK MAMPUS!!!

Oh man.. I need a blardee long vacation, 3 months at least... to drift myself somewhere and clear my conscience and regain my strength in order to face the whole shitty life again. There's too many agony, anger that could not be supressed and I'm just fed-up with living sometimes. Need to 'shoosh' all the negative vibes away.

Oh God please, drop me a few million bucks (in USD) so that I can get myself an isolated island in the British Virgin Islands so no one can screws up my life.. Amen.


p/s: I think God have just answered my prayer. Wow, THAT was fast! Oh NO NO, not a few million bucks.. I just got a call that reminded me that I'll be going for a short breakaway from hustle bustle KL this weekend.. Start small is better than nothing.. ;)

sonrisa siempre.. (smile always)

The tunes you played to me still lingers.. even after a decade.
I get it now, ways to happiness IS a choice. I shall make a wise one.
May you rest in peace, sweetheart. May you be amongst the saints of God.

SMILE

smile though your heart is aching
smile eventhough its breaking
when there are clouds in the sky you'll get by
if you smile through your fear and sorrow
smile and maybe tommorrow
you'll see the sun coming shining through for you
light up your face with gladness hide every trace of sadness
although a tear maybe ever so near
that's the time you must keep on trying
smile what's the use of crying
you'll find that life is still worth while if you just smile....

cranky..

Is it just me or today is just extremely CRAPPY????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am having a massive headache and a worn-out body.

Oh, just shoot me dead. /crankiness at 12.04noon


p/s: am i day-dreaming or did i just heard that our Prime Minister is getting married? oh man, need to korek telinga

putting up a show..

I'm now watching the finale of the reality show, 'Bachelorette' where the audience are asking questions to bachelorette and the guy she choose. You know, the usual Qs of "how you know that she's the one?" / "what make you choose him?" and yada yada yada.

For one thing, I wouldn't even be caught dead entering shows like that. And second, to be interrogated or should I say slice up my heart and have a peek inside is seriously not my style. How can people bare all on their sleeves? And especially on national TV?! Well.., hail to all of those who have the guts!

I'm never a supporter of public affection or kiss-n-tell. Albeit the fact, well, I never opposed it either. Giggle. Form my observation, I find most couple just showing off that luvy-duvy feeling for the sake of showing and some other just over doing it. There's only a minuscule of couple that find genuine. And they are the ones that take it easy on this icky love stuff and make it through all the way..

My logic is.... its already hard to find someone who could be genuine in real life. What more to find someone genuine from a reality show where there are lots of factors that influenced how a person behave on camera? Especially when it comes to reality shows like finding the right life-partner such as "Bachelorette" , "Joe Millionaire" and etc etc. Man, plain hipocrisy is an obvious thing isn't it? And and.. how on earth can they fall for each other in just short period of time? And taking the risk to get married pronto?? What? By magic?

Ohhh, sorry for bitching about this. But I do have a point and rationale behind all this. I prefer the good old fashion way of finding a life-partner. You know, giving ample time to know one another, getting to know each others' flaw and imperfections and adjusting/trying to live with it. You know, facing THE REAL THING about relationship before committing to something more serious. Yea, I mean settling down.

And that's the true meaning of real 'reality show'... /Jann just want to potpet for fun, no offense to ppl out there who don't agree.. *smirk*

the NGO hero..

Hey, bangla-la-la!

Wishing you a happy posting to South Sudan this 15th June. Take care of yourself, okay.. (damn, I'm starting to sound like a mother!). Bring some nice Sudanese chic home.. *wink*

two times five..

Okay. Let me write this in Malay - since I haven't written anything in fully Malay since Bahasa Melayu Karangan Paper, SPM 1999... Heh.. ;)

***************************************************

Pagi tadi, sedang saya dalam perjalanan ke kolej, ada seorang perempuan yang err..(what is rowdy in Malay?).. yang kasar menaiki STAR LRT bersama-sama tiga orang anak lelaki yang comot. Oleh kerana mereka bertutur dengan kuatnya, mereka telah menggangu ketenteraman orang lain yang berada dalam gerabak LRT tersebut maka semua orang memandang mereka dengan riak muka tidak suka.

Seorang lelaki Melayu yang duduk bersebelahan saya tiba-tiba mula membebel sendiri berkenaan keluarga bising tersebut. Maka dia bertempiak, "Eh kak, bingit la telinga. Cakap slow-slow sikit la.". Perempuan tersebut buat-buat tidak dengar dan tidak mengendahkan lelaki tersebut dan menyambung perbualan dengan anak lelakinya.

Lelaki tersebut merasakan dirinya tercabar lalu memainkan laungan kumandang Azan (u know, the..Allahuakbar... Allahuakbar) dengan menggunakan telefon bimbit Nokia-nya. Dia menekan punat suara sehingga tahap maksima, tanda sindiran. (Walauwehhh.... I'm impressed with myself!). Akan tetapi, suara perempuan itu ternyata lebih kuat daripada bunyi telefon bimbit lelaki tersebut. Lelaki itu rasa sungguh bengang kerana perempuan itu ternyata tidak menghiraukan sindirannya.

Situasi menjadi tegang kerana lelaki itu mula naik berang lalu mengeluarkan kata-kata yang menyindir kepada perempuan bising itu. Orang ramai yang berada di dalam gerabak yang sama cuma mendiamkan diri dan menyaksikan sahaja kejadian itu berlaku. Saya termasuk sekali, hehe.

Perempuan itu membuak 'dek' sahaja dan menarik anak-anaknya turun di Stesyen Masjid Jamek. Dan tanpa diduga, lelaki tersebut turun di tempat yang sama juga. Saya tidak tahu apa yang terjadi kepada mereka selepas itu.

Akhirnya keadaan STAR LRT menjadi aman damai seperti sedia kala. Sekian, terima kasih. Wabilahitaufikwalhidayah dan assalamualaikum warahmatullahiwarokatuh... (FUI-YOOOHHHHHH!!!!)

First of all, I salute the woman because she kept her cool when she could have just take the broom stick (yeah, she was carrying a broom with the stick protruding out of the plastic bag) and wack the guy's head to teach him about manners.

Secondly, I think the guy is doing exactly what he is opposing in the first place - buat bising sampai menggangu ketenteraman awam as he did the same thing by trying to match the woman's shrieking voice with his Nokia phone. Tak ke dua kali lima sahaja perbuatannya? Cewahh...

And lastly, I salute myself for actually describing the whole incident in Malay! Wau-wee-junior-juice.. *sheepish grin*
