Getting a Pet

If you've noticed, I'm so into dogs lately. I attend dog shows to see what's happening, and I visited almost every pet shops in Kuching. I'd also made friends with some tauke and taukenio and found out how badass haolian some pet shop owners are. Well, some talk nicely to you, and some talk to you like they don't wanna' do your business. I always visit pet shop with hope, I hope the owner is friendly enough to let me adopt a German Shepherd Dog for free. But everyone of us here knows that's not possible at all.

Every time I enter a pet shop, as long there's something to talk, I get to learn something. Anything from behaviors about dogs, about breeding about how to take care and what they eat and all. It's is very interesting and I'd gain a lot of knowledge for free from them. Although the information I get from each of every of them is incomplete but it is still good for me as I still gained something there.

Recently, I met a friendly taukeinio and we started talking and all. Remember the hope I brought to every pet store? She's the only one that gave me hope. She offered a good deal of price for the dog I love. With that price, it's without the certificate. But it's good enough if I get to see the parents and the dog condition before bringing it home and she's saying that I get to see how the parents looks like and all. It gets me excited and I kept thinking about the dogs.

It makes me sound kinda crazy but I've been doing a lot of research about dogs. Reading them over and over, watching videos about them over and over. It makes me wonder if I could really get one. Before all these, I brought a few pets home without asking for permission. It makes things so easy, whenever I see a straw dog that is so pity, I bring them home and see what my parents have to say. But after the cat incident, I've heard a lot of complains from my dad, my auntie and uncles. It makes me feel that I have to get permission before getting any pets home. But I haven't ask my dad about it because I am so scared that he's gonna' break my heart by saying no.

So what should I do? Should I even be thinking about dogs at this moment? Do I have the time for it? What's with the excitement about me getting a dog? I have no idea but I'm really into dog these days. Crazy me~

Decision

I'm already having my holiday, and I'm unemployed by the way. I am no longer the kid who sits in front of the computer in the afternoon until midnight. I have my stuffs to do in the day, places to go, routine to follow and it makes me kinda' lazy and tired to sit in front of the computer except for computer games to chill and relax. I wonder why I am able to surf whole day, lepak in forums, lepak in online games and msn during the holiday back in high school.

Recently, I'd seen a lot of people complaining about the toughness in their studies. Some people complained about having too little time to study, some regret to take the course, some lost interest and some find it too hectic because the coursework is too loaded.

But let's say if you had the chance to remake history, if you could change the past, what course would you take? What interests you more these days? If all these is way too hard for you, what course would you be taking? Or is this the right choice and you're confident that this was the right decision.

For me, I am not sure if I have regretted. To a point, I feel that this course is too competitive and I know I am not the best and being the best is important in this field. Maybe in the future, I won't become a graphic designer. I might only use my skills, the stuffs that I had learnt to assists myself in my future career. Most probably, I'll end up becoming a businessman. Running a small business enough for me and family to live, it is okay not to be rich. That's what I'm thinking but I'm not sure if I'll feel the same after years.

Hope everyone is doing well for their finals. God bless all of us and we'll never give up. :)

How to Replace Your Maggie Supper?

I was a Maggie fan. By Maggie, I mean instant noodles not just the brand. Mee Sedap, Daddy Mee and etc etc was my favourite. In fact, whatever brand it is, as long it's instant noodle, I would feel that it's delicious. However, a lot of reports and rumors are saying that it is bad for health.

I stopped the Maggie Super trend for like a year. Of course I still get some at times but I'm finding alternatives. For instance, I would recommend homemade spaghetti.

A plate of Spaghetti cost you around RM10. It is expensive and all, but cooking it home is a lot cheaper. It is actually quite an easy dish to prepare yet a lot of people didn't know how to do it. Today, I will show you how to prepare my spaghetti supper.

All you need is a packet of spaghetti...

... Some diced garlic...

... A can of spaghetti sauce...

... Some hotdogs too. (not necessary, can be replaced with minced meat, luncheon meat, etc etc)

Firstly, boil a pan of water and throw the amount of spaghetti you prefer into the pan until it is cooked, then removed the water and put it aside.

Now that the spaghetti part is done, let's move on to the sauce part.

Add some oil into the pan, fry the garlic with low heat. Until the aroma of the garlic is smelled, add the sliced hotdogs and stir fry for lie a few seconds?

Then, pour the can of sauce into the pan and let it cooked for a while. As for this, the sauce I used was tomato based. Therefore, I added some Rosemary herbs into the sauce as well.The herbs can be bought in most supermarkets. :)

Once the sauce is almost boiled, put the spaghetti into the pan as well. (some people prefer to mix the sauce and the spaghetti until it is served, but I prefer it this way.)

Mix it well and it should look something like this.

Finally, it can be served as your supper!

This is the way I replaced instant noodles. It is not that expensive, it is a lot tastier, and I believe it is healthier than instant noodles.

Mmmmm... Enjoying my supper. This is not some big secret so it might not taste as good as the ones that are made in restaurant, but it still fulfills my tummy. So, let me know if you are going to try it out someday okay?

It is really easy, right?
