The Exorcist

I finally got a chance to watch The Exorcist!

I thought the first 30 mins were rather boring and couldn’t understand the hype over this movie until I got to the last 1 hour of the show.  For a movie in the 1970s, this is considered to be one great piece of work.  Goosebumps were popping out at the scene when the little “girl” came down the stairs on all fours in an inverted manner.  It reminded me of a spider, only that she was 4-legged.

Then came the scene of exorcism which actually sent shivers down my spine.  It’s no wonder why this movie created such a roar then and even now.  Everyone who had seen it gave their thumbs up.

It doesn’t matter anymore

Perhaps 10 years down the road, I will still remember the pain but it doesn’t matter now..

Perhaps 20 years down the road, we will meet on the streets but it doesn’t matter now..

Perhaps 50 years down the road, we will meet in heaven but it doesn’t matter now…

Nothing else matters to me anymore….. not this nor that, not what’s right nor wrong.

How much are you worth?

Been looking at my Facebook notifications and saw that I was bought by several people.  Quite amused by the fact that I don’t even know some of these “buyers”.  Tried to buy some friends too but well, you just can’t “buy” a friend with money in real life do you?  It’ll be pretty sad if that happens to anyone isn’t it?

恶作剧

我找不到很好的原因
去阻挡这一切的亲密
这感觉太奇异
我抱歉不能说明
我相信这爱情的定义
奇迹会发生也不一定
风温柔的侵袭
也许飘来好消息
一切新鲜有点冒险
请告诉我怎么走到终点
没有人了解
没有人像我和陌生人的爱恋
我想我会开始想念你
可是我刚刚才遇见了你
我怀疑这奇遇只是个恶作剧
我想我已慢慢喜欢你
因为我拥有爱情的勇气
我任性投入你给的恶作剧
你给的恶作剧
我找不到很好的原因
去阻挡这一切的亲密
这感觉太奇异
我抱歉不能说明
我相信这爱情的定义
奇迹会发生也不一定
风温柔的侵袭
也许飘来好消息
我才发现你好耀眼
请让我再瞧瞧你的双眼
没有人了解
没有人像我和陌生人的爱恋
我想我会开始想念你
可是我刚刚才遇见了你
我怀疑这奇遇只是个恶作剧
我想我已慢慢喜欢你
因为我拥有爱情的勇气
我任性投入你给的恶作剧
你给的恶作剧

The transformation

No words can describe the pain and agony that I’m going through.  It’s nearly driving me crazy and I have no idea how to get rid of it.  It haunts me at every available opportunity.  I run away but the further I go, the faster it seems to catch up with me.  How will it devour me if it wins this chase?  My body is slowing down as my energy drains.  Will there be a miracle?  Should I stand still and face this demon?  The fight will not be easy nor fast.

Where has my passion gone to?  Where is my fire and spite?  Have I misplaced them somewhere?  I’ve forgotten how to fight back.  I miss that feeling of triumph and victory.  Should I? Should I? Should I? There’s no turning back once I make the move.  It’ll be impossible to stop me and I will eventually fall to the dark side.  Should I? Should I? Should I?  I will not be able to turn back time after the transformation takes place. Once I start, I won’t stop.  There’ll only be winter left in my life, with a heart as cold as ice.

Perhaps, there has only been one choice all this while.

Do you believe?

Do you believe that things that happened to you are predestined and planned by someone up there?  Or do you believe you can determine your own fate?  Which do you believe in?

Return of the rice dumplings – Nonya（娘惹粽） and Ba Zhang(肉粽）

I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves….

As usual, you will need the bamboo leaves to wrap up the rice but these time round,

the leaves are bigger cos the meat dumplings are fatter due to the ingredients.

The rice has been fried before, unlike that of the “kee zhang”.  This is done so that the

rice would be more fragrant.  A dash of dark soya sauce and 葱头  is  added  during this process.

Here’s the ingredients for the nonya dumpling.  All of them have cut into cubes

and been stir-fried together. Each piece looks the same to you?  They are actually

mushrooms, lean meat and winter melon.  Soya sauce and pepper is added for seasoning.

Here are the ingredients for the “ba zhang” aka 肉粽.  They have been stir-fried

as well to bring out the taste and reduce the cooking time for the final process of

boiling the dumplings.  So what’s in them? There’s lean and fatty meat, mushrooms

and chestnuts.  Notice that they are cut in bigger chunks than the above.

Seasoning is also the same as the nonya dumpling.

All wrapped up and ready to go into the pot!

The cooking time is faster this time round.  Only got to wait 1.5 hours…
