The HB only likes his fish steamed. Hence I’ve made this a few times. The usual steamed fish is very simple, but my version needs a bit more work, but it tastes great!
I don’t mind eating this often, but how do I get the HB to like fish cooked other ways? Fish = steamed for the [...]

MISS ME, BUT LET ME GO
Posted in Life, Thoughts & Ramblings on July 29, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
A poem I found on The Net which brought tears to my eyes.
When I come to the end of the road.
Amd the sun has set for me.
I want no rites in a gloom-filled room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long.
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love [...]

So the HB had to go to Bologna to get some paper work done, and yours truly jumped at the opportunity to go jalan-jalan. We hopped on the 8.10am train from Modena to Bologna, and took a taxi from Bologna train station to the consulate where it took us HALF a day for a truly [...]

It has been SWELTERING hot here in Modena. I kid you not. Coming from a girl who lived in the tropics all her life, this is something serious folks. I have been walking to class every Mondays and Wednesdays, and the usually pleasant 30 minute walk has been arduous to say the least. [...]
Book Review : Cathedral Of The Sea by Ildefonso Falcones

This book is a good example of why one shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover. The HB borrowed this book from a friend and my first reaction when I saw it was :O It is over 600 pages you see.
Out of sheer curiosity, I flipped the book open and read the first page, and [...]
The First Anniversary Dinner

The HB tried to surprise me with the dinner on the eve of 9th July, but LOL the poor guy can’t lie to save his life ( I hope! ) so he came clean and told me that he had made reservations at Zelmira, one of the nicer restaurants in Modena, if not the nicest.
I brought my camera along [...]

It has been a pretty rough week for HB and me. What better way to cheer ourselves up than to whip up some good ol’ Malaysian food
I was at the market last week, and at the fish section when woooo! I spotted a huge HALF piece of a sting ray. Now, I LOVE [...]
Laugh all you want, God.

Sometimes I think that God enjoys playing jokes on me/us.
I wonder why is it that the honest, straight-as-arrow people like me and HB seem to be the victims all the time.
If it is said that people are inherently good, why is it that most times we seem to be dealing with the shittiest of em [...]
