We eat to live! I love food!!

This blog post is all about food food food!

We eat to live from day one when we were born. To be more accurate, we started to absorb food when we were in our mummies' womb!

Big Breakfast at La Bodega, Bangsar on Labour Day with a secondary school friend. Apparently, we were planning to go to Antipodean but the queue was just too long and we were starving! So, here came La Bodega with its big breakfast set. It was a nice meal with a good environment (Imagine we were sitting under the bright sky without rooftop- the feeling was just awesome!)

Thai style chicken salad at Kung Fu Paradise, Paradigm Mall when I was hanging out with two girl friends for Ironman 3. Got no idea what to have for lunch, so, salad is the best! It was kinda spicy with all the chilli padi! I was crying while finishing up the whole plate of salad!! 

Caesar Salad at MM Cafe with my roomy before she went outstation leaving me staying alone in the room for don't know how many days. (**I miss her**) Again, I was kinda full on that day itself, not knowing what kind of light food that I can eat. So, salad is still the best choice! (Apparently, I am very into eating salad for the past months just because of go healthy concept?! Ahha.... Kinda in love with salad nowadays.... XDXDXD) The salad tasted quite good, most importantly, we had a good dinner session with our intimate girls talk! 

Beef Lasagna at Ben's Pavi KL on a lazy Saturday evening. Quite a nice one but I myself cannot finish the whole portion of it as it is just too fulfilling. 

Wild Mushroom Quiche at Ben's too. This is nice. I personally love it a lot. Firstly is because I am a mushroom lover! I love to eat mushroom, all kind of mushroom. The pie and mushroom are just a superb combination. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Caramel Chocolate Banana cake at Ben's for our dessert of the night. Didn't know what cake is nice so we just simply picked one. Luckily, it is a nice slice of cake. Although very sinful (I am intensively controlling my urge not to eat so many cakes!!), but well, I enjoy biting the cake bit by bit. With the cosy yet relax environment, I am glad that I have had a good dinner. 

I heard this phrase from a trainer this morning, "We eat to live!" Exactly, we can live without the three basic needs in life - cloth, shelter and transportation BUT we cannot live without food! No food means no life! So, having a good, decent and proper meal is a way for us to reward us from working hard, a way for us to recharge ourselves in order to move forward with full energy! 

"Eat well, Live well"

Keep trying?!

My lovely heart shape latte

I always love to drink coffee and I am starting to brew my own coffee.

The process of learning how to brew a nice cup of latte is fun and amazing. 

Life has been changing dramatically for the past one year, been through ups and downs, there are people come and go in the journey of my life; yet, I am still in strong belief that life is wonderful and awesome. 

I came across this quote "Whatever it is, things that happen in our lives; there is always a reason behind them."

True enough to say this. We might not know why we are having this situation now, but one day, we will realise that things happen for certain reasons.

Nothing starts easy, even when we were young, we have to learn hard and practice hard in order to excel in what we do. 

Same goes to our working life, our relationship and the process of fulfilling our dreams. 

Since I have started what I have chosen, I will just do my best to make it works. If one day, things do not turn up well, at least, I wont regret for what I have chosen to do.

Never know what will happen in the future, but at least I plan and work towards it. Never know who I will meet in life, but at least I appreciate who ever that bounce into me. 

I might not know what will happen next, at least, I am giving in my full attention to it. 

"Just keep trying, you will not lost anything at the end of the day"

"Switch"

If this way cannot make it, switch to another direction!

Scenario 1:

How will you feel if early in the morning, your car tyre punctured right before you want to drive to work? Angry thinking of why are you so unlucky? Frustrated as you are going to be late to work? Bet you will have all the negative emotions with you. So, at the end, you have a superb duper bad day!

What if you switch your thoughts? Thinking "Luckily, my car tyre punctured at home not in front of the traffic light!". Will you feel better by thinking like this? 

Scenario 2: 

A girl friend is waiting for the boy friend to come over. He told her he will be coming by 10 o'clock. However, time passed and he is not here yet. Here comes 11 o'clock, he is not here yet too. Girl friend waits patiently, then she starts to wonder why is he not here yet? All kind of thoughts pop up in her mind, she gets angry, frustrated and disappointed. At the end, they ended up quarrel.

What if the girl friend switches her thoughts? Thinking "Maybe he got caught up with certain things?" For sure she feels better and things can be so different after that.

There is always a choice in life, and we are making choices every day, every single second. 

In life, we have the choice to choose what we want to do, what we want to achieve and what we want to experience. Once you make the decision, be focus and do it. 

There is no right timing when you want to switch yourself, but you have to initiate it. 

"Wake up in the morning, we have the choice to choose to live a happy or a sad day; I choose to live happily, what about you?"

Affogato

Affogato at Dessert, Miri

Still, the only coffee that I love the most. 

Nothing could have cheer me up better than this. 

Small Role?!

I always love to drink latte :)

Latte with a heart shape on it. Nice and lovely.

Got sick recently, maybe I am just too tired and pack with lives. 

However, life still goes on. 

What ever decided, need to be done accordingly. 

Want to be successful? No choice, I have to work towards it, not just saying bout the action need to exist!

There is this one person coming to tell me that he is just playing a small role in my life, is that really true? 

No No No... I don't think so too. And I never think like that as well. 

No worry, you are not the small player in my life story. You hold a big role in it. 

"You are not the small player but big big player in the life path that I am going through"

Stress?!! No way!!

There will be times in certain point in our lives that we might be very frustrated, tired and sick over the things that we are doing.

What does this called? Stress?!!

No way....XD

Oh... Well... A certain level of stress is pretty good for keeping us moving forward and improving ourselves. Hence, knowing how to distress is totally a MUST-DO things so that we can still stay happy and grateful all the time.

Ways to release stress??!! How??

Doing something fun with friends - be creative and stay young all the times!

Create a supportive, fun yet energetic working environment at work - a good working environment is a main source for you to love your job more than others!

A good meal with friends - This is not just about the food but the gathering and meeting up with old friends, chit-chat nonsense without worrying whats gonna happen next!

Spend times chilling at friends' place - Just a simple visiting is good enough to relax the mind after long working hours!

Travelling - Location is not the main point, main focus is you travel with who and hows the trip spent! 

A great cup of coffee - coffee really does make up my days.

Last but not least, a good workout after a tiring day. I find it really useful for me to release all the negative energies in my body and mind, it helps me to fill refresh again! So, lets workout to keep a healthier and fitter body and mind! 

"Stress is a friend when it leads you to a stronger life path; stress is an enemy when it conquers you to a weaker life path"

New Year New Winnie

2012 had just passed by me, here comes 2013. 

Time passes so freaking fast, I almost got left behind. XD

However, I have had a good new year celebration for this lovely 2013.

Almost everyone talks about the world will end in 2012, hello!!! See.... We are still surviving now in 2013! 

Last year, I went for PD for the sunset during last day of 2011 and went for hiking during the first day of 2012. 

This year, it is another great celebration with colleagues.

A present for myself in this coming new year! 

So, a new year, a new Winnie - working towards her dreams and her plans. Continues to live greatly with meanings in every moment in her life. 

So many new year resolutions in her mind, but the most important one will be the fulfilment of  all her resolutions! 

"Welcoming a new year with a better me with a greater life!"
