Well, I am back! :)

Anyway, as I’d mentioned before, please go to http://tanshuyin.blogspot.com/ to view my future posts/entries. See you there!

Most of you may be asking why hasn’t Shu-Yin been blogging? It has been almost 10 days since her last post. (unless no one reads this blog of mine! )

Well, I suddenly don’t have the mood to blog about the stuff I eat, the places I went to or even the people I have met. In fact, I tried many new places for food these 2 weeks but somehow I have no mood to blog about them.

There are too many things on my mind right now. And also these few days I feel very lazy. YES. L.A.Z.Y!
There are tons of things waiting for me to do which I haven’t done any yet. I still owe my boss lots of stuff and I am feeling bad about not having it done yet.

So i guess blogging have to wait, right?

p/s- My next entry/post will be in blogger. Don’t worry, I will redirect you all to my old blog add!

I’m fed up with wordpress. Yes, I know many of you will protest and say wordpress is much better. Maybe it is because mine is the free version. So I have many less features compared to yours.

Things I don’t Like About WordPress free version:

1. dont support javascript which means I cannot add most ‘fun functions’ I used to have such as:
         – Twitter
         – LibraryThings
         – Youtube

2. Cannot add Nuffnang ( also due to javascrip support issue) which means it is stopping me from earning big bucks!

3. I always have trouble when I upload more than 3 photos in my blog entry. The photos always disappeared after I clicked ‘Publish’. This happen many times!

4. I can’t seem to upload any videos into my blog entries properly. (did you notice that I have no videos in my blog since I changed to wordpress?)

And I refuse to pay for blog service. I mean, there are so many free blogging sites available, so why should I pay for one? And I am not doing business or whatsoever. This is just a personal blog. So I refuse to pay a single sen for it until I am forced to!

But one stupid thing abut blogger is that they dont have the ‘external blog import’ feature – which means that I can’t import my entries from wordpress to blogger. Sigh….
Nvm…i think I will still go back to blogger!

It was the fastest ‘chu char’ record I’ve ever experienced. After we found a table, mum & I walked over to choose our food and to order. In less than 5 minutes…yes…LESS THAN 5 MINUTES, the food were served…piping hot! The food came even faster than Peter, who went to find parking!

So where is this place? It is somewhere opposite the jetty. The ‘chu char’ coffee shop is unique as there is an old tree growing through the roof.

We ordered 5 simple dishes and they did not disappoint us. Although they served us so fast, it still taste so good. Unbelievable!
And they even serve us appetiser. My first experience in a coffee shop!
(oops…sorry…i’ve forgotten to take pic of the 5th dish – Clams)

Total bill including 5 bowls of rice turned out to be RM45. Not bad for 5 dishes + 1 appetiser! :)

It rained heavily the whole of yesterday and the rain didn’t stop til mid-day today. Everywhere was wet. The lower ground areas were flooded.

Look at below flooded kampung house somewhere near Larut Road (behind KFC).

The Yeap Chor Ee Road was also flooded when we were driving past. Many cars came to a halt as the water levels was kinda high.

I remember a song which I used to sing during kindergarten everytime it rains during our ‘play time’

Rain, rain, go away,
Come again another day,
Rain, rain, go away
Little children wants to play.

I now know what are stickles, thickers, brads, eyelets, liquid pearls, chipboards, clear stamps, rub ons, distressing, and the list goes on…

I’ve just completed 2 minibooks called ‘I AM’ and ‘The Story Of Us’ thanks to I-Mei and I love them!

But let me warn you. This is an expensive hobby!

Romantic settings, great food, lovely couple – this should summarize the whole wedding.

Our table# 19 consists of only 9 ppl (great coz we get to eat more!). Kai Jun and Ting Ting, Lee Sun and her daughter Qi Qi, Mr. & Mrs. YK Lee and their daughter Jing Shuen and Peter & me. 7 adults and 2 kids.

The souvenirs and thank you gifts are so beautiful. A pair of chopsticks and a custom-made bookmark.

And of coz I took a picture with the bride and groom :)

And oh ya…E & O Hotel Parking is so expensive…rm5..darn!

I was trying to use the deep-fryer which we won at a Coastal Towers New Year Party this year. However, I decided against it as it would require me to use a lot of oil. I didn’t want the oil to be wasted as I do not know when is the next time I would deep-fry something again.

Pacific West's Tempura Black Pepper Fish Fillet

So I just used the usual frying pan to deep-fry the Pacific West’s Tempura Black Pepper Fish Fillet which I bought 2 weeks ago. Less oil was used this way. There was also 2 black peppered sausages left in the freezer and I pan fried it as well.

Our unhealthy but delicious dinner

I served them hot with tar tar sauce and Thai Chilli (Peter is chilli sauce king btw) and both of us enjoyed our unhealthy but delicious dinner!

Oh btw, the black pepper fish fillet is not spicy at all!

I know you all must be thinking that I am crazy to watch Mamma Mia! for the 2nd time within 4 days! Yes…I love it so much and since Peter haven’t watch it yet, I went to watch it with him. And oohh…Sun Mei treated us the RM7 per ticket (weekdays before 6pm price I think) and her friend Sylvia bought us popcorns and 100-plus. Both Peter & I were being pampered! Well, no complains though.

Mamma Mia! was still so damn nice even after I watched it for the 2nd time. Fabulous. Fantastic. Dot dot dot good! :D

Thanks to Nuffnang and Shu-Min, I get to watch Mamma Mia! special preview screening just a few hours ago! And how was it? Well…it was SUPER DAMN FANTASTIC! Certainly the best movie in year 2008 for me! Well, I am after a musical fan.

I wanna kiss Min for bringing mum & me to watch this preview screening. :)

Mamma Mia!

***20 year old Sophie (Seyfried) is preparing to marry her boyfriend Sky (Cooper) at her mother’s hotel on an island in Greece. She seemingly has it all — a carefree life, a loving fiance, and happy friends — but one thing has been missing all her life: a father.

Her only wish now is to be given away by her dad at her wedding. By reading her mother’s diary she discovers that she has three possible fathers. Sophie then secretly invites all three men to the wedding in a desperate bid to discover which of them is her father before the wedding bells start to chime!

But not all goes according to plan: old loves are re-kindled, new loves are formed, and Sophie risks everything to discover the true identity of her father.

Featuring the songs of ABBA, and based on the world’s number one musical comedy which has people dancing in the aisles every night, this movie is sure to be the hit of Summer 2008! ***
