End of 2012 ... this is it!!

Tomorrow will be the last day of 2012... I hope 20 years from now, my blog is still around for me to read it and to remember this day.. Alone at my new home, watching Masterchef 3 where Christine and Becky made it to the Top 3, and Frank & Josh going to pressure test.. by the time I wrote this, it's break time, so .. let's see by the time I finish writing, if we can find out which one of them made it to Top 3 ..

What's going to my life this year:

1.  .................................. (i cut this out but I want to leave this part to myself) -- some mystery for uols to guess.. hehehehhe ...

2. Finished my master in Computer Science.. not an easy task but I challenged myself the last 2 years, and I completed it.. not with flying colors.. and with some tears .. but I made it..

3. Did my advance diving certificate at Pulau Dayang .. Love the experience each and every dive.. Vomit 3 times in the water while diving at Perhentian (totally a new experience) .. not really a nice feeling, but definitely a good experience..

==> by this time, Josh and Frank cook for their life in Masterchef 3 - they need to cook 3 type of souffle in 60 secs.. Good luck to both of them!! continue with the writing..

4. Went to Prague this year.. stop for few days in London for holiday .. Love the experience.. Alhamdulillah for that great chance!!!

5. Had a memorable memories in Mabul & islands around it.. love it .. love the memories, love the friends that went together .. love the scenery.. everything!! perfect holiday with perfect group of friends.. but has to go there again for diving experience..

==>> And JOSH made it!!!!! I kind of like him.. a humble person, and a good cook!!! I don;t want to google who won, but it will ruin the surprise.. hehehee

Newton Run!!!

7. Did I mentioned about my new home?? hehehehe .. something that I'm proud of.. and again, I am so blessed and can't thank my Creator enough for all the good things He gave to me this year..

Lots more happening this year.. like every month I have something or somewhere to go .. most of it, diving holiday.. went to Perhentian 3 times this year, then to Pulau Dayang, Mabul, Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Penang, Johor..

It's been few months with no diving activities due to monsoon season from November to February.. we are kind of ready for next year opening season, however, I already book 2 trips in February and May.. therefore, I might take a break from diving next year.. unless until end of June .. need to save some money for the other 2 trips .. can't wait for 2013.. (although it means I'm a year older... running as old lady now.. muahahahhahaa ).. and I pray to Allah everyday, to make me not to forget Him, and be near to Him everyday... I'm not to good at it, but I'm trying my best..

Hope 2013 will be as best as this year, if not better!!!!!

Istanbul Aku Datang!!!!!

Yupppp.. wait for meee, Istanbul...

Surpriseeeeee.. I bought a ticket to Istanbul.. in February!!!! Counting the days now.. wuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu... sooo excited about it and spending most of my time over the internet looking for tips, places, bus ticket, boat, places to stay, and not to forget, Couchsurfing.. but I will talk about Istanbul in my blog here once I'm back ok.. so you have to wait for it..

What I'm going to write today, is about the movie "Istanbul, Aku Datang!!!" .. first of all, out of 5, I can only give 2 points.. I don't like it!!! so childish.. I think they were trying to do like Indonesian movie, fun and cheeky .. but sorry, maybe I'm too old for this kind of movie.. and I think it's not suitable for Malaysia's audience whom mostly Muslim... I don't think I can watch this with my nephew of nieces.. really not appropriate.. If we watch American or European movies, it's easier to explain, they are non-muslim, so it's ok for them to do whatever they want .. but when they saw Malays and Muslim acting what shown in this movie, it's very hard for me to explain to my niece.. so I end up not watching it till the end.. what a waste of RM15 paying Astro to subscribe it..

But again, this is my personal opinion.. up to you to judge it.. ;)
However, I do like Lisa's wardrobe .. sweet...

Watch it??? Subscribe it??? Wait for free one la.. tahun depan raya sure keluar.. hehehehe

Fall in love in one night? possible or not????? hehehe

Run a little, Eat a Lot!!!!

How's my blog title? Do you find it funny?? it does for me.. hahahaa
because we did run just 10km, but we ate like 10kg of food.. hahahahhaa (again).. hahahaaa

Penang Bridge International Marathon (PBIM) had been our yearly event for 2 years now. We started join the event in 2011, and repeat the race this year.. but actually, we did it as a friend's vacation rather than for the run. As Penang is so famous with its food, and myself, stayed in Penang for more than 5 years, made me always want to come back to this state .. just to go down the memories lane, and at the same time, enjoying the cheap but yummy food..

So the journey starts with a stop @Kuala Sepetang for its Mee Udang ..

Ordered Fried Rice, and orange juice.

They have Wireless Village provided by the government

Mak Jah Mee Udang

In term of the taste, I think I like Mee Udang Penang better. I think their Mee Udang were made earlier and just wait for people to order.. so it's not as fresh as I want it to be.. but it's famous, so I believe it depends on your preferences..

Next I went to Penang and of course, I have to get my all-time favorite, Ayu Mee Udang ..

Forgot how much it cost, but around RM12 per person

 I always love Ayu Mee Udang.. it's tasty and sweet.. i know sometimes your taste might be different than me, so don't blame me if you tried this and didn't agree with me.. hahahaa.. another thing, I believe why i love this place also because of the memories it bring together.. this was the place I spent time with my friends while i'm in Penang.. we always hang out and come here for our mee udang.. so, that's another reason why it taste better than other place.. ;)

Of all the mee udang available, i still love Ayu's the most..

Ayu Mee Udang is located at Gertak Sanggul, Penang. How to get there: go to Batu Uban after Bayan Lepas and then you can see a signboard Gertak Sanggul on your left.. take that turn, then go straight, take the second junction on your right, and take another right turn just after that.. you can see Ayu Mee Udang by now..

Sany Char Koey Teow

 Next one, of course, my favourite Char Koey Teow and the one I love is Sany Char Koey Teow in Tokong Ular, Bayan Lepas.. just before the airport.. love this.. ;)
 

Penang Char Koey Teow.. looks yummy isn't it?

When I stayed in Penang last 10 yrs, Sani Char Koey Teow always been a place we hang out to have our nice fried noodle.. but there was another place near Sunshine Square that I used to go.. but I'm not sure if it's still open or not now..

Laksa Teluk Bahang

Kelapa Madu.. you have to try this with the lovely Laksa

Laksa Teluk Bahang

Lastly, before we went back to KL, we stopped by at Teluk Bahang, to get our Laksa .. how to get there, hmmmm .. go straight to Batu Feringghi.. until you reached Hard Rock Cafe, Penang.. go further up until you see a shop under a big tree.. it's in front of Tropical Spice Garden..

I think I  write long enough for this time.. just before I end this, I would like to tell about another place I discovered with my mom in Parit Buntar.. 1Malaysia Shop .. the menu is simple, but I love it because of its simplicity.. nice place to have lunch!!

I let the picture do the talking because it's late and i'm sleepy.. take care and see you again later..

Ikan keli masak ranum.. hehehehe

Talapia Goreng

Football Fever .. Piala Suzuki AFF 2012

I was about to go to bed, but it's been a while I didn't wrote anything in my blog.. so let's take some time writing.. because I love reading it in future..

This morning I went to a "talk" about internet safety and I have been reminded again and again about information that we put on the internet can be use against us (if there's a bad guy trying to do so).. yes, I do agree with this tips.. it's a good one.. but I do love blogging and writing.. so I told myself to be extra careful on what I put on the net, and also never put my personal details.. only stories like this and photos.. and pray that no one would do harm on this information.. :)

So back to the title of this write-up .. it's football fever time and tonight we lost to Thailand with aggregate of 3-1 for Semi Final of the AFF Suzuki Cup 2012. We won the last round in 2010. The game tonight was not too good.. compared to Thailand and although I do support my country no matter what, but I think Thailand deserved to be in the Final because they played really well tonight.. beautiful passing, attack and defend while Malaysia was everywhere but rarely get the ball..

But I don't want to say much, because I'm not a footballer .. i just love my country and love what football did to the country.. PERPADUAN .. UNITED .. we unite as one due to football and the country need that..

Some photos taken with friends during the fight with Thailand last Sunday (1st round in Stadium Bukit Jalil)
