Fight or Leave It.

I am kinda agitated since last week. I don't know why. Something is bothering me. Past histories.

Have been repeating Cee-Lo Green's "Fxxx You" for billions of times these two days. Love this song for no reason. Maybe it's because Bruno Mars wrote this song. It was funny when I was partying a few weeks ago, the DJ played this song and everyone at the dance floor was dancing with their middle fingers up :)

Lotsa rubbish in my mind. I was telling bestie that I have learnt a hard approach as I grow older - that I will have to fight for something that I want. On the other hand, she mentioned that sometimes the more you do, the harder you try, the lesser of chance you will get it. Sigh, what an irony. I don't know, maybe it was what I have encountered that makes me a person today. Someone with very strong characteristics I guess - so bad that sometimes I intimidate people and chase them away :P

Two years ago, when I was focusing wholeheartedly on building my career, I told everyone that all I ever wanted was my career. THAT'S ALL.

Two years later, after experiencing a failed 4-year relationship, bad karma, shifting and traveling, lost someone so significant that hit me so bad and still building my career, I have somehow changed my mindset. If you were to ask me the same question of what do I want, I can be very frank in telling you that "I want to settle down. If someone I love were to ask me to marry him, I will do so!" Unfortunately, there isn't anyone, how depressing :)

Guess it was all because of peer pressure of seeing everyone around getting married and expecting babies. Another bestie actually told me that expecting a baby was "the best and most miraculous moments in her life" - WOW! She is happily married and recently welcomed her baby girl to this beautiful (and mean) world :)

To fight or not to fight. It's tiring to fight alone. I don't know but I believe how my heart feels. If it's not going to work, it ain't going to work but oh well, at least I tried :)

Will be visiting the one-month-old Xavier tomorrow. This god son is so fortunate to have a shopaholic aunt who just bought him a pair of Ralph Lauren shoes!

Liebe xx

Satisfying the German Craving

By all means, I am talking about food. I know, it will be so much better to enjoy the hearty German cuisine with a hot German dude but well, didn't happen. Was having dinner with Sky and his soon-to-be girlfriend, hopefully :)


I have been pretty geeky recently. All I ever done was Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, Google, Blackberry and iPhone. Of course some movies, Half-way through a Puerto Rican movie though. Googles has been the best friend in finding whatever needed. Even food. I have decided not to be geeky and will bring Cessa, my DSLR out for dinner on a Sunday evening.


Having a soft spot for German (the culture I mean), I love everything about the country. I made a reservation at Brotzeit the moment I read about it.

Original Munchner Dunkel Paulaner - a dark lager beer from Munich. Characteristic ruby brown hue comes from caramel malts and is filled with a rich malt sweetness.

I don't like beer, except Paulaner (and Bintang beer). I know I am a weirdo but this is unexplainable. Maybe another soft spot? Personally I think that this beer is so much smoother than the normal gassy lager beer.

Iced Cappuccino

Weisswurst

Sky was like "What the heck are you talking about?"

"GERMAN! SAUSAGE!"

"You speak German?"

"A teensy bit of broken Deutsch" (Sad)

Three traditional Bavarian veal and pork sausage served with home made pretzel

Frankly I don't find this weisswurst as great as those I have had before. Maybe because it was boiled and not smoked so it tasted a tad too soft and bland. However, the pretzel was awesome, slightly crunchy and chewy.

Cordon Bleu

This is definitely one of the most fattening dishes that I love everywhere - pork, deep fried, cheese and ham. However, I must say that Cordon Bleu here is pretty disappointing as it was too dried and the melting cheese that was supposed to be in the centre was, unseen. Maybe it was "melted" while being deep fried in a pot of hot oil :(

The main - Pork knuckle

This is simply delicious. The skin is so sinfully crunchy and the only thing that stopped me from eating this was when my newly met friend, Suzanne talked about cholesterol. Please, please don't talk about serious topics over the dining table? Seriously, I should start to work out now. I can't be eating like this and not doing anything about the fats accumulated... I should go to the gym, maybe in another two weeks time :)

My plate towards the end of the dinner. A bit of Cordon Bleu, A bit of pork knuckle and a lot of Sauerkraut. I LOVE Sauerkraut but those from El Cerdo seems to taste better. Well this is very fine as well no doubt.

The bar / long dining table near to the entrance

I will come back for more pork knuckle and Paulaner beer - even though it reminds me of someone silly.
However, as said, please allow me to have some time to work out. I seriously need to. I am gaining so much weight nowadays by simply allowing myself to eat whatever and whenever...

(Hello, this is a food blog, how are you going to write without eating? - Well, make sense)
