The Sunday Times III: Sights, sounds, adventures & eats! My week in a flash ♥

September 9, 2012 by thejessicat

 

I know I skipped last weekend's edition of The Sunday Times!

Actually, don't ask me why. I don't know either.

 

I shall mull two weeks motherload of photos/updates for you, aight?

Better late than never teehee!

 

Spent some lonely cuddletimes with my favourite boy 

 

Gave in to the Instagram craze!

Several people have been bugging me to get on Instagram for a while now… and I thought, hey why not?

Follow me on Instagram at – thejessicat

 

Stormed my kitchen up to make dinner again! :D

Butter-Cereal Prawn & Black Pepper Scrambled Eggs with Tofu & Spinach on a Saturday night

 

Celebrated my country's Independence Day on the 31st August!

Full blogpost – here *click*

 

Got a tad nerdy & intellectual for several days

Been preparing for an article about contemporary Malaysian culture!

 

Off on an airplane to Penang Island courtesy of Heineken!

An epic mini-rave is underway 

 

Touched down in Penang to attend the Heineken Progressive Tour at 32 Mansion @ Penang

Full blogpost soon! 

 

I just had to justify myself LOL

 

Had English breakfast with mom in Dome Cafe @ Gurney Plaza, Penang!

I'd recommend the Eggs Benedict 

 

Day out in the city : Pavilion KL with buddies Jean-Baptiste & Nestor!

 

Took the cable car up to Genting Highlands with 'em magician boys after that!

J'ai passé un très bon moment  :D

 

Outfit of the day in Genting Highlands!

 

Watched Superstars of Magic 2 four times! Yup, FOUR TIMES.

Too good to only catch it once :D Made wonderful friends there, the cast & crew were an amazing bunch!

 

Learnt some magic under the tutorledge of two fabulous cardicians

You know who you both are. Much love & gratitude! 

 

Made a snack at home  Do I smell something healthy?

Fresh lettuce, red corals, wild rocket leaves, butter hearts, radicchio,

red oakleaves with watermelon chunks, oregano & thousand island!

 

Hit the gym again! Did my usual routine and a 5KM track-run :D

 

Had a bout of a rather dreadful emotional turmoil & lost my appetite for 4 days.

Stayed in bed. Refused to get out. Wallowed in depression. But yeah, tried to smile for the camera anyhow LOL

Song of the week 

 

 

Picked up the pieces, put on a smile and buried my misery six feet under

 

Question is : How can you forget someone who gave you so much to remember?

 

Just got back from a satisfying dinner! I recommend the Chicken & Lamb Mixed Royal Kebab with Saffron Rice

A cosy & VERY reasonably priced Middle Eastern place : Saffron Cafe & Restaurant in Damansara Perdana! 

 

 

Well, that's what's I've buzzing with during past fortnight, apart from the emotional rollercoaster ride.

It's rather personal, don't ask  But what didn't kill me, made me stronger!

 

… overcome the tears & attempt the next stride with a smile :D


This week, I am thankful for :

1) The immediate people around me 

2) The lessons in life which I learnt the hard way. 

 

Have a great seven days ahead dear readers 

 

Much love,

Jessicat

My first time celebrating Easter! A sumptuous dinner feast with the family in Sydney!

April 27, 2011 by thejessicat

 

Good Friday and Easter Sunday has always just been a memorable occasion for me.

Well, we get public hollies and commemorate the resurrection of Christ. What's not to love?

 

But the whole idea of Easter Bunnies & chocolate eggs never really got to me

 

Until I landed in Australia, for my first ever REAL Easter.

Back on University rez, we even had an Easter Egg Hunt game! Anyway, for the week-long Easter Break, I decided to fly to Sydney to sight-see and pay a my extended family a visit 🙂

 

And I'm thankful I came; for they gave me the best Easter ever!

 

Chilling with couzzies Sam and Nick before dinner

 

Thanks for picking me up at the city, Krizzy! 🙂

 

I was taken away when I first entered their house.

It's beautiful! Have I ever mentioned that I love the architecture and layout of houses in Australia? I've been into some 7 houses now, and it's really different from the ones back in Malaysia.

 

Anyway, spotted a pretty candle holder hanging on the wall!

 

People here actually celebrate Easter.

Most of my friends here were busy with their own family Easter dinners today as well.

 

I simply adore Lindt's Easter Bunny chocolates! 😀

 

On to the foodsies! Prepare for noms ahead.

Not for the hungry 😛 I was amazed how we managed to stuff ALL the dishes into our tummies

 

But first, some appetizers & tid-bits before dinner!

Nachos, chick peas, feta cheese, pistachios, cookies and more

 

"Did I hear food? Can I come in too, pretty please?"

 

Dinnertime begins!

We were all helping out with the preparation and plating the food on the dining table

 

Caesar Salad!

 

Spinach & Ricotta Cannelloni!

 

More cheese! Popped it into the oven again LOLOL

 

Potato Au Gratin bake!

 

Roast Lamb!

 

Roast Pork!

 

My uncles took to carving of the roast meat

Yay! And then its time to drizzle the gravy all over

 

 

Easy now, slicing & cutting up the pieces of the pork chunk by chunk

 

Devour the scrumptious delights before they are all gone too soon!

Coincidentally, the 3 of us were wearing black tonight

 

On the dinner table with couzzies Adie & Krizzy

 

Here's my platter

Looks rather messy but who gives a !@#$%? Let's eat!

 

Eating medinner! Want some?

It was a fabulous home-cooked meal… without a doubt!

 

After dinner, we gathered at another table to chill and catch up 🙂

T'was so nice to rekindle with all my aunts and uncles again after quite some time.

 

We downed a few shots and neat drinks over our chitchats too

That's the way our family roll, no pansiefansie mixers – nadah! ;)

 

Oh, how I love gathering together and reminiscing lotsa old-times!

 

Yes. I'm talking to you :P:P

 

 

After a few hours, it was time for  yummy cake!

Aunt Yi Ling baked us an Apple Tea Crumble for dessert

 

 

It was so good, this time with extra nut & cinnamon toppings!

 

Fancy a slice?

 

with ice-cream to jazz things up? Yes, please 🙂

 

Pastry dessert & vanilla ice-cream… delish!

 

It finished rather quickly as you can probably tell!

 

Now, how's this for pretty dessert?

Uncle Danny played around with the food and voila! haha

 

Needless to say, I had a fantastic time with the family.

Here's a piccie of my cousins and I… for the road!

 

Happy Easter 2011 folks!

Much love
