at times when i wish i have a superpower
gawd am so glad it’s gonna be the end of the week already. which means, integrated project week is finally over. yay! so not looking forward to presentation and q&a session tomorrow though. if only i can skip the earlier part and terus jump to 4pm when the presentation will be over. so syok kan? hiro, i want your power!! the only best part about presentation is seeing all the guys in suit. *drools* 
(at times like this, i feel like even the most not good looking guy can look totally hawt as long as he’s all dressed up in suit! kekeke.) anyways, gotta read up the reports now so that i’m well prepared for q&a tomorrow. (but somehow, i know i’ll still be totally clueless when the panel ask the questions tomorrow.sigh.)

kolo mee davina’s style
one of the perks of living on your own is that, EVERYday you have to think what to cook for lunch/dinner. when you’re lazy, you’ll just opt for bread or oat. or anything simple that does not require the use of cooker. when you’re in the mood, you might whipped a superhuge meal that might even last you for days! since i’m always hungry and must eat something quite heavy (so that i don’t get hungry every 15mins), my favourite thing to cook would be spaghetti/macaroni/noodle or anything else that belongs in the family. so one night, as usual, i was having my noodle night, and guess what…i managed to come up with this recipe that tasted (almost) like kolo mee! can you imagine the excitement i had after i had my first forkful?! you know how much i superlurveeeee kolo mee right and i’ve been craving for it ever since i came back here! and the best part is, it’s so easy and cheap to prepare. 
all you need is : this niceyummylicious noodle you can get for only 70pence in tsang (which you can make at least erm 5 bowls maybe?) and then mixed with sweetsoysauce+oystersauce, fried pork slices marinated with salt+pepper+darksoysauce+oystersauce+sesame oil, some boiled brocolli (just cause i haven been eatin vegie for quite sometime already.hehe.) and the ingredient that made the taste, golden fried garlic and shallots. i never expected it to turned out tasting like kolo mee, but i definitely superLOVEs this recipe now. and since “sharing is caring”, that’s why i wanna share my recipe to everyone here. haha. i know it doesn’t look anywhere near kuching kolo mee k, that’s why it’s called kolo mee davina’s style. 
and sorry for the poor quality picture, it was taken using my hp and was too hungry to go search for my digicam that time. haha.

– i actually like cooking when i’m in the mood but i’m not confident to cook for other people.

tips for a better life by nithya shanti
after writing the hate post below, i found this on facebook which was posted by a friend, and it actually made me calm down. (no my friend is not nithya, i also don’t know who’s that, but i really wanna thank her for these tips cos i think they’re awesome!) if you think your life sucks, i’m sure after practicing these tips, you’ll be thanking nithya as well. (k i’m so lame i know, i’ll shadap now.)
1. Take a 10-30 minutes walk every day. And while you walk, smile.
2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day.
3. Sleep for 7 hours.
4. Live with the 3 E’s — Energy, Enthusiasm, and Empathy.
5. Play more games.
6. Read more books than you did the previous year.
7. Make time to practice meditation, yoga, and prayer. They provide us with daily fuel for our busy lives.
8. Spend time with people over the age of 70 & under the age of 6.
9. Dream more while you are awake.
10. Eat more foods that grow on trees and plants and eat less food that is manufactured in plants.
11. Drink plenty of water.
12. Try to make at least three people smile each day.
13. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip.
14. Forget issues of the past. Don’t remind your partner with his/her mistakes of the past. That will ruin your present happiness.
15. Don’t have negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.
16. Realize that life is a school and you are here to learn. Problems are simply part of the curriculum that appear and fade away like algebra class but the lessons you learn will last a lifetime.
17. Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar.
18. Smile and laugh more.
19. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. Don’t hate others. (ok am sorry, i’m just so pissed mah!)
20. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
21. You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
22. Make peace with your past so it won’t spoil the present.
23. Don’t compare your life to others’. You have no idea what their journey is all about. Don’t compare your partner with others.
24. No one is in charge of your happiness except you.
25. Forgive everyone for everything.
26. What other people think of you is none of your business.
27. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
28. Your job won’t take care of you when you are sick. Your friends will. Stay in touch.
29. Get rid of anything that isn’t useful, beautiful or joyful.
30. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
31. The best is yet to come.
32. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
33. Do the right thing!
34. Call your family often.
35. Your inner most is always happy. So be happy.
36. Each day give something good to others.
37. Don’t over do. Keep your limits.
38. Share this with someone you care about.
CAUTION : this is a hate post!
don’t tell me you know everything. and don’t act like you’re the best in everything. it just makes me sick. unless you can prove me otherwise, you and me, we’re not so different after all. so til then, will you just stay out of my life? thank you. (i didn’t plan to dislike you this much, but after what happened, i so wish i never knew you!)

when money is the root of all evil
“The series revolves around Nick George, whose whole life has been lived in the shadow of the Darling family, but as an adult he’s leading a simple life as an idealistic lawyer, until his father’s suspicious death. The wealthy Darlings of New York have asked him to take over his father’s job as their personal lawyer, but the money that will allow him the freedom to be an altruistic do-gooder is only part of the picture. That same money pulls him into the dubious doings of the Darling clan.” -Wikepedia

owh guiness!
you know what’s the coolest thing about dublin?
++ oo yea, it’s home for guiness alright! ++
i don’t like beer. if you’ve been paying attention to previous blogs, you would already have known this by now. the only reason i drank em was cos they’re really cheap, despite the fact that they’re superpahit. i’ve never tried guiness before so since most beers are pahit, and guiness is black, i’ve always assumed it to be the most pahit of all. unfortunately, i was wrong. after taking the first sip, i immediately fell in love. haha no la, i still won’t order it if there are other drinks available.
so what exactly is in store at the seven-floor storehouse? well, there’s a gift shop (obviously), a whole floor of materials and machineries used/slides/pictures/yadayada showing the process of brewing guiness, another floor exhibiting all different types of bottles and glasses used for serving guiness and a sampling section where you can try a half pint of fresh guiness.
but my favourites are floor 5 and 7.
on floor 5 …
++ … i get to pull my own pint … ++
++ got like pro or not?? ++
++ … and get a certificate for it! ++
after pulling the perfect pint, you go up to floor 7 where you can just enjoy your drink while relaxing, overlooking the city of dublin. (eh but from our seats, we only get the view of roofs. haih!) never have i felt so thrilled to have the sun glaring right into my face, but that time was the best feeling ok, since i’ve been deprived of the good ol’ warm and sunny weather for a long, long time.
++ shiyt hugethigh alert! ++
we didn’t get to try any guiness cuisine at the storehouse itself cos there weren’t so much choice on the menu. so when we found this lil restaurant serving beef and guiness stew, we thought we’d give it a try.
++ tetapi tidak berapa sedap lo. (i think they forgot the guiness, can’t taste any!) ++
no wonder all the tourist information mentioned this as a must stop to visit in dublin. the entry is a wee bit pricey though, 11 euros, but i think it was definitely worth it.
