Chicken Tandoori, Sime Darby Student Residential Hall

I went to Sime Darby student residential hall, UUM for having Roti Canai. According to an Indian friend, the roti canai of Sime Darby served as one of the best Roti Canai in UUM. Not only that, Sime Darby Roti Canai was available for the 8am until 10pm. It‘s different with ordinary Roti Canai stall in UUM that solely operated for few hours only especially in the afternoon.

Unfortunately, the Roti Canai was sold out. Hence, I opted for Chicken Tandoori set (RM7). Honestly, it’s my first time in having Chicken Tandoori although I had been heard and seen this food for few times in other mamak stalls and Nasi Kandar restaurants. 


 The owner was come from Pakistan 
 The Chicken Tandoori and Naan were roasted from clay oven 
1. red color Chicken Tandoori came with few slices of cucumbers, onion rings and limes. 
2. Naan
3. Dhal
4. Mint sauce 

To my surprise, the brilliant red color of the Chicken Tandoori was taste very nice. It had strong and fragrant flavor of the marinate.  I even can eat it without naan. Further, I love to dip the Chicken Tandoori in the mint sauce for extra kick.  

In contrast, the naan was very dry, thick, not crispy and no aroma at all. I thought to dip the dhal for the naan for enhancing the taste but the dhal was tasteless. It totally decreased my appetite and even can’t finish it.

I’ll come back for Chicken Tandoori and others Roti Canai but wouldn’t order the Naan again. 

P/S: I'm just sharing my personal opinions and please bear in mind I'm not responsible for any disappointment are occur.

For Gao Yuan

I gathered with Gao Yuan in library University Utara Malaysia (UUM) after her doctoral graduation ceremony yesterday.  I knew her 4 years ago while I studied Master degree and met up again when I enrolled Phd studies in previous year. Although we lose contact for few years, but our feeling towards each other didn’t change. Both of us agreed and even labeled each other as old friend.

It’s an exciting times for her and me too. The doctoral graduation ceremony marked the end of her study lives in UUM and Malaysia. 5 Years of reading articles, writing and editing theses, waiting feedbacks from the supervisors anxiously had all led to this happy moment.  Oh man, it’s not an easy job!!! As her friend I happy for her because she had ended her miserable Phd  journey and back to China. At the same time, I was quite sad because it signified we parted each other after this and not even knew there’s a chance to gather with each other. 

 Wish her a better and bright future

I remembered we waited for school bus to Changlun on 4.30pm

I remembered both of us grabbed and reserved the seats for each other

I remembered we did our grocery shopping in Changlun together

I remembered how she advised me on choosing the right types of vegetables in C-Mart

I remembered she always express her unhappiness and sorrow to me

I remembered we walked from Varsity Mall to Tradewins as a form of exercises.

I remembered how both of us go through the “no-food” life during fasting month

I remembered we shared the similar values, perception and attitudes

All above were in my memory. It reflected she had been existed in my life and significantly brought impacts to me.

Gao Yuan, you’ll not be forgotten

Re-Watch "Time Before Time/大闹广昌隆"

Couple weeks ago, I re-watch olden Hong Kong drama, “Time Before Time/大闹广昌隆” as it attracted me so much.  I thrilled that the online drama website uploaded it as it had been released long long time ago, 1997.

The first time I watched “Time Before Time” when I was 7 years old at Roban, Sarawak. At that time, I was so scared with this ghost theme drama.  I remembered my Auntie, Ah Yi ( literally means mother’s sister in Hokkien dialect) loved to disturb mine, Rosamond and JoJo (exclude Naruto and Mickey as they not born yet)by singing “Wo Deng Zhe Ni Hui Lai (我等着你回来)”,Wo Deng Zhe Ni Hui Lai (我等着你回来)”. Wo Deng Zhe Ni Hui Lai was one of the favorite song of Siu Fu Yung as a talented singer. This song feature frequently in “Time Before Time”. 

We all screamed loudly due to fear to this ghost song and not allowed Ah Yi to sing “Wo Deng Zhe Ni Hui Lai”. Ah Yi was very annoying. These funny moments in my childhood were difficult to forget.  Having re-watched recently was totally different feelings. No more scared to ghost theme drama anymore. And missed the time watching this drama with my siblings. We laughed and screamed together. 
“It indeed brought back my childhood memories”
This drama begins with the death of a young couple, Luk Wan Kwong  and Siu Fu Yung in GuangZhou in 1922. Then, it jumped to 1947 that feature Hui Dai Kwong , a lazy, lower class guy that searched the job in manufacturing organization, Kwong Cheong Lung. One night, Hui Dai Kwong accidentally released the ghost of Siu Fu Yung from a paper umbrella in the haunted Kwong Cheong Lung. Siu Fu Yung mistakenly recognize Hui Dai Kwong as her husband, Luk Wan Kwong  because he looked exactly similar with Luk Wan Kwong . Since Hui Dai Kwong scare to death, so he promised to help her.  In return, Hui Dai Kwong hoped Siu Fu Yung helped him to get rich by using her ghostly power. Sadly, Siu Fu Yung failed to utilize her ghostly power since she had been stuck in the paper umbrella for almost 27 years. Siu Fu Yung retells her tragic life by possessing the body of radio host through a radio station. Hui Dai Kwong fall in love with Siu Fu Yung as time passed by. One stormy night, Hui Dai Kwong gained his previous life memories and realize that he was Luk Wan Kwong . The mystery of the killer for Luk Wan Kwong  and Siu Fu Yung revealed at the end. Finally, in 1990, Luk Wan Kwong/ Hui Dai Kwong  and Siu Fu Yung met again. This destinated lovers lived happily ever after. 

Below were my favorite scenes of “Time Before Time” by print screen them. 

 As I mentioned earlier, Hui Da Kwong took advantage on Siu Fu Yung by helping him became rich. However, she can't helped him and he back-fired Siu Fu Yung. Really love his acting 
 Siu Fu Yung was invisible. All can't seen her except Hui Da Kwong. Everyone perceive something wrong with Hui Da Kwong when he talked with air. 
Hui Da Kwong's relatives all scared with Siu Fu Yung when he announced that Siu Fu Yung had been stayed at their home. 
That was the look of the clever, smart, brilliant Luk Wang Kwong. He was so successful in enhancing the business performance of Kwong Cheong Long. It was so different with Hui Da Kwong.
The body of the relative of Hui Da Kwong, Sam Lok Gao possessed by Siu Fu Yung. It surprised the people when Hui Da Kwong and Sam Lok Gao were holding the hands of each other. 
Hui Da Kwong mistakenly believed Siu Fu Yung reincarnated into dog and treated the dog very well. He even danced "zam zam bo" to entertain the dog 
 Hui Da Kwong suddenly became 6 years old little kid when cursing by the Wong Tin Leng. His relatives headache with his childish behaviors. 

I also loved the theme song, 抱紧眼前人by Anita Mui. The lyrics make me realized I can't go against fate as fate determined our life. This includes our loved one. So I should appreciate the one that we loved. Part of the lyrics were like below:

本应相爱本应相衬,
命里注定同行却未能,
舍不得不爱把不得一世,
唯愿抱紧眼前人,
匆匆一世深深一吻。

Returning to the familiar places allows Moses Chan to start brand new and relax lifestyle.  

At the same time, Myolie Wu breaks up with her boyfriend when her boyfriend falls in love with someone else. Luckily, she meets Moses Chan and seeks comforts from him. At the end, both of them fall in love with each other and they realize they are not different at all.   

*************

Honestly, I don’t have high expectation on this drama but the more episodes I watch the more warm I gain. Following are the reasons that I like this drama very much. 

What I like:

  1. The inspiring elements in this drama encourage me to think positive and always grateful for the rest of my lives.
  2.   Myolie Wu’s acting- The she carry the identity and the role of the blind woman in this drama is very brilliant. Her acting looks very natural in every scene. She really did a good job in leading this drama. 
  3. The theme song –Angel/天使 by Myolie Wu. The meaningful lyrics really touch me.
我有你在猶如又看見 幸福美滿重頭發現閉緊的兩眼 彷彿看到明天
你再困倦仍然沒抱怨 逐點帶我捱過考驗
你手中有我 所有需要 哪個又怕路途多麼遠
誰人未計路遠為我奉獻 我竟閉上眼也遇見
明明路已盡了 差點放棄許願 但是路盡頭有天使
誰人像你樂意誠懇如此 明天起統統好日子
然後放下世事 未來決定了 幸福要抱住愛人一張一張合照

你再困倦仍然沒抱怨 逐點帶我捱過考驗
我手中有你 給我關注 哪個又怕未來的風雨

誰人未計路遠為我奉獻 我竟閉上眼也遇見
明明路已盡了 差點放棄許願 但是路盡頭有天使
誰人像你樂意誠懇如此 明天起統統好日子
然後放下世事 未來決定了 幸福要抱住愛人伏在懷裡大笑

誰人未計路遠為我奉獻 我竟閉上眼也遇見
明明路已盡了 差點放棄許願 但是路盡頭有一天使
誰人像你樂意誠懇如此 明天起統統好日子
然後放下世事 未來決定了 幸福要抱住愛人伏在懷裡睡
(I wish to keep the lyrics by this way because translation alter the original meaning)

    4. I enjoy seeing Myolie Wu in this drama after not seeing her for some times.  
    5. Few inspiring quote from the drama
  • 忘记不了,就藏在心中,永远藏在心中, 就永远陪伴着爱是无所不能 (Episode 8)
  • 看电视不是为了看电视看电视是为了有人陪你一起笑,一起哭,一起气恼,一起骂,一起生气,一起争论 (Episode 8)
  • 我知道导生去哪里,它在跑步径玩疯了,在跑步径那张椅子上陪我坐, 在陪我看《继承人们》, 在巴士关爱座伏在我左边, 在每晚吃完东西后,我带它下去方便的时候
    在我们三个东西常常一起乘的电梯你其实想告诉我,导生不在照片中,就像黄日华等不到刘嘉玲双脚,但那双脚也可以放在心里, 没有人可以带走,即使以后看不到,闻不到,只要曾经看过,听过,闻过,就永远都带不走,回忆是带不走的 (Episode 14)
  • 那女的不作声是因为她在忍着,忍着不说出最重的一句话,重话不说,说了就回不了头,忍下来就没事了,上次是那男的忍那女的,这次反过来是那女的忍男的,如果下次再吵架的话,你忍忍我,我又忍忍你, 那就吵不成了, 忍着忍着,然后你为我想想,我又为你想想, 久了就不用刻意你忍我,我忍你, 那自自然然就一辈子 (Episode 15)
Last but not least, if you like the sweet and warm drama series, this is for you. For your information, I always online watch Hong Kong drama series from H.E.R.E. Each episode will keep you on the seat. One useful tip, be sure to have your tissue paper ready.

I play this song almost every day recently. 
 One of my favorite scene in the drama, whereby Moses Chan took all the photos about the frequent daily routes of guide dog and Myolie Wut. He gives  to Myolie Wu for memories as guide dog left Myolie Wu. 
Lift scene, Moses Chan, Myolie Wu and guide dog always in this lift
