Deadly Superstorm Sandy

Just read the news about the superstorm sandy landed on New York City and saw the photos. It was super scary a great city just fall like tat in 1 day due to the deadly storm. All power lights were cut off, explosion, fire, every where were flooded just like 2012 Apocalypse. Below are the few photos of the aftermath of New York City I pick up from Yahoo to show how deadly this storm is.

Imagine it if this storm lands in Penang, =.=|| I guess from island bcome a flooded sea already =.=|| since Penang mostly have flooded issues but not as worst as this thank god. Hope every 1 New York ppl can go through this darker days.

Just Another Day of Workloads~

Dear Diary,

Since now I got no ppl to share to, or even a simple converstation, so I shall share to "U", last 3 weeks I have applied for several job vacancies at Jobstreet, but haven't got a one reply =(. Truth hurts cause it so hard to get a better job without a degree and after age 30 is way more harder to get. I tried badly to get a degree although I still fail badly, in the end I decided not to waste money and time anymore so decided to work at age 24 I think till now but my income I'm not really satisfied with it. Current job got yearly increment so it's a bit good benefits but working around in this company environment is sucks =.=, almost everyday either being complain at and gossip  or all last minutes work will throw at 'U' to finish it. Then all co-workers here so good in acting they will be good with 'U' when 'U' around, but behind their back they will complaint 'U' none stop. Then mostly co-workers all talk is lies I guess since I can't trust anybody at all =.=, A talk this while B talk that "terbalik" and then C n D talk bad tings about A n B. This goes on and on in this working environment so mostly I just kept quiet n chat with my gf happily avoding the rest. But now can't already so mostly even a simple wish of gud morning or a gud night I can't say or sms to her, cause she sumtimes wont reply back at all. So mostly I just wait and wait cause scare I disturb her..=) so now noting 2 do so I still finding program to edit old photos to upload at here...

B4 I leave, this is interesting quote to keep note:

Old stories gone but old memories stay,
will we remember what we have learnt?
To stand up carefully and not to fall down again...
some wanted to find ways to go back,
some wanted to write a new story,
some just wanna stay in the current page,
to figure out what's the right title for their own story...

Good Day my Diary

Need 2 Cure Myself

Dear Diary,

I hurt her feelings and make her mad again 2day.I just cant figure out why I so easy jealous and to overprotective to my dear n only best friend after I saw her post of photos up my heart just drop and I just "snap" again haiz. Mayb because all my bad experience from my past since childhood till now I still can't trust any1 cause worry be hurt again. She say she love me alot last time so need trust her she can handle herself. She told me it was my bad habit n I can't change already especially when I panic meet her frens all of sudden and left her.. =( Since tat day she wont talk to me anymore, I admit I'm not a perfect man. I shall try figure it all out myself and need cure myself up b4 its too late for her n leave me for others. I really do love her , and miss her alot for over 1 month been trying to ask her out just for the 1 weekends or called her but always 'busy" or "noting to say" as her reply. Sumtimes c she go out with frens this month I was jealous again due to her 'busy' reply and don't dare to ask her out already. B4 Halloween day I decided to ask her again just for 3 hours only to take her out but she rejected again and I ask her reason she just reply "can't lo". But the next day she went out with ex-colleges that makes me heart drop alot...then I "blown away" again.

Lesson learned:-
I must learn myself control n believing in people n calm my heart n mind. For now I won't disturb her anymore with my rubbish sms's cause she having exam soon. Love 'U' alots n I try love myself.

PS:- "I'm so sorry I can't control my feelings for U, I shall try hard to trust ppl again such as trusting U" "I will try to cure myself up" "I wont give up on U"

New Updated Outlook

Dear diary, its been so long I haven't update the blog layout, now I decided to do so to update a new fresh start to the blog, with new fresh n lighter color n remove certain widgets. Now I still looking for a program to edit all the pics into one animated flash or gif. Plan to update all the tings we did in the past to recall the happy memories in my diary.

PS:- Still misses her badly after we ended relationship

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY~!!

4 Years have been past although for me is more than 7 years since I meet my dear, there have been ups and downs, happy, sad, angry, cry, laughter, scolding, jealousy and etc. so that's what U call as relationship status. That is noting perfect in the world although ppl hope
for it. But recently I got her cry again due to my jealousy with her frens n due to she
sumtimes she will tell her frens more den 2 me or what she been doing. And I've been waiting
every moment when she no reply my sms at times when she is busy with frens (till next day)
n I don't dare to disturb her at all. Although I've been worrying she go till so late or
till next day, me was abit sad when she reply back my sms n don't dare to tell her me was worried so in the end we war =( . I was the bad guy as usual although deep inside
still loves her very much n worry...hmm guess I won't say anymore at here.

I just hope we can continue on our relationship n grow strong.

So  ~HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 2 DEAR!

I STILL LOVE U PLS 4GET THE PAST N LETS CONTINUE ON NO MATTER WAT I WILL WAIT FOR U!!

Macarons ♥

Lately, I noticed this craze about Macarons. This confectionery has been mushrooming in many outlets in Penang. As a cakes, cookies, chocolates and pastries lover, I MUST DEFINITELY find out what is it that is so special about this Macarons.

According to the Oxford Dictionary, there is no such thing as a macaron. However, the dictionary suggest macaroon which meant 'a light biscuit made with egg white, sugar, and ground almonds or coconut'. The word originated from the late 16th century: from French macaron, from Italian maccarone.

The Wikipedia suggests that a macaron is 'a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaron is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies. It is meringue-based: made from a mixture of egg whites, almond flour. The confectionary is characterized by its smooth, domed top, ruffled circumference and flat base. It is mildly moist and easily melts in the mouth. Macarons can be found in a wide variety of flavous that range from the traditional (raspberry,chocolate) to the new (truffle, green matcha tea).'

Here's the interesting part:
'Since the English word macaroon can also refer to the coconut macaroon, many have adopted the French spelling of macaron to distinguish the two items in the English language. However, this has caused confusion over the correct spelling of the cookie/biscuit. Some recipes exclude the use of macaroon to refer to this French confection while others think that they are synonymous.'

Right, that's enough education on Macarons.
Here is my first encounter with Macarons. ♥

Macarons with a lovely, neat packaging... Ideal as gifts too in my opinion.

♥ ♥ ♥

Darling and I shared the green one (mint flavour with chocolate filling) as there is only one =)

This lovely box of Macarons was bought from Ritz Cakes & Pastries for RM15.
There are 8 pieces in the box with my favourite being the one and only mint with chocolate. The others are quite nice as well but I couldn't really make out what the flavours were.

I guess the blue one could be blackcurrant with jam filling as it tasted grape-y. The pink one could be strawberry with caramel filling. However, it was just sweet with not much strawberry flavour. The beige/yellow one could perhaps be mango or probably passion fruit. It was really nice with a tinge of sour.

You could also get one for yourselves...
