Recalling Benjamin Button...

For what it's worth: it's never too later or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not. I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

-- The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 

献给最值得的：它永远不会太晚，或（以我的例子来说），太早成为你想要成为的人。因为它是没有时间局限的，你想停止脚步的时候就停止吧。你可选择改变自己或始终如一，那是没有规则限定的。我们可以度过美好时光，也可以虚度光阴。但我希望你获得精彩。我希望你能看到令你惊叹的事物，我希望你能体会到从未有过的感觉，我希望你遇到具有不同观点的人，我希望你的一生能让自己过得自豪。若是你发现你的生活并不是如此，我希望你能有勇气重新来过。

逆时钟坏了，被水淹没了。。。

观后感：时隔三年，在偶然的机会下观看了这部电影。有人说故事平平，没特色；有人说故事感人，值得一看。见仁见智。这电影我可是重看了几乎五遍。每次重看都会产生不同的感想。故事虽然没有英雄动作片的高潮迭起，但Benjamin的内心戏，与Daisy，母亲，其亲生父亲及陌生人的对手戏可是给了我深刻的影响。人老病死，对Benjamin而言恰恰相反，他经历了一段“非凡”的人生：从被父亲遗弃的怪胎老人婴儿，再逐渐的年轻。他是返老还童～虽然躯壳正渐渐地年轻化，但心灵却在慢慢衰老。他想做个好老伴，好父亲，奈何他的“岁月”不允许。最后一幕，Baby Benjamin在年迈Daisy怀中去世更是令我唏嘘不已。

Make peace for a day

I know today (21st Sept) is some of my friends' bday, but I have never know today is also the International Day of Peace.

*Say Peace* can you imagine me myself indeed grinned at the screen while typing this? HA HA

People celebrated 1st ever World's Peace Day 30 years back ago, until it was officially declared as Peace Day by United Nation. Speaking of "peace", no war - that's what I imagine. Same answer?
I searched about what's the day stands for.
hmm, and the day is not merely devoted to those have political or terrorism hatred,  but it can be also devoted personally. Say, myself! I have abundant thoughts of Peace.

Recently having impacted by the "final year effect", I barely see the near future, all I have is some vague answers. Things come just in time and I have to multitask on them. For the first time, I feel hard to manage these poped-up problems. Maybe I am still having "a-semester-jet-lag". Brain malfunctioned already. *consolable-thinking"

Right now, I just need to make peace at myself~
After having two weeks of lectures, coincidentally that's what I am going to do today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow - days of ceasefire, mind-meditation...
And, Peace shall be my instant ingredient to get rejuvenated after the weekend, and go on my life without (with less) resentment and panic stations.

I can sense the peace surrounding myself now: blogging this whilst watching this.



"Take it easy, face yourself as well as others with a kind heart."
... still have long journey for me to see, hear and experience. I hope my wishes, your wishes will have come true in 20 years. 2032 =) Stay peace ~

I'm drenched

" Certain song with its lyric video alone would be enough to impose great emotion 

than any other songs with their music videos. 

Every single word is engraved in your mind, deep down in your heart.

I'm drenched in the lyric, accompanied with the engaging voice of her Wanting. "

P/S: a friend of mine recommended me the song, it was until I get addicted to the "You Exist In My Song". 

It did not suit my mood at the time, so I promised to replay it again at another good timing, 

and I am drenched all the time now. 

"Drenched" - good word to be used always. 

^.^

Tonight, I am a foodie at Fontana (9/15)

This is a random experience and a new experience...
Tonight by sheer chance, a friend of mine indeed asked me to test on a restaurant's called Fontana Cafe & Catering which is run by a local lady, Ms Riza. We went there with a group of new friends.

So what's so special about the name of Fontana?
Well, according to Ms Riza, Fontana is actually named after her husband's family name and Fontana families in Italy indeed involve in renowned hospitality business (hotel accommodation) too.

For me, Fontana is definitely an ideal one-stop cafe for foodies with various kind of halal cuisine namely, Western cuisine esp Aussie Food, Mediterranean cuisine, Thai cuisine, Chinese cuisine, Malay cuisine etc.
Let's have a look on some of the very-Fontana-style of cuisine:-

OZ Burger 
Highlights: signature Aussie burger with ostrich meat patty, turkey slides, beetroots, tomato salad and egg layers

 I would call it the only-one exotic burger because this is my first time to munch a giant burger with a thick ostrich patty inside. First time tasting on the ostrich meat, it gives me subtle taste similar to beef. You should try the meat yourself, maybe you would fall in love with OZ like an Australian!

Fontana Burger
Highlights: burger with ostrich meat patty, harsh-brown, tomato salad, avocado, mayonnaise and special tomato sauce from Yemen and cheese

Another burger creation from Fontana with multi-layered texture and mouthfeel. To describe more on the ostrich meat, it's actually tough when you first biting on it, but after that the meat will be gradually melting along with your mastication.

Hold on,
Fyi, this ostrich meat patty is 100% freshly home-made by the owner and the ostrich meat is claimed to be an alternative healthier meat than beef, chicken and pork due to its lower cholesterol level and fat content. Healthy choice of the food, it is~~  *wink*

Hawaiian Chicken Burger
Highlights: burger with grilled chicken chop, pineapple slides, relish and special spread

Here's my third giant burger. Can I just use three adjectives to describe this HCB: succulent, palatable and just perfect! Never try never know you have such a gigantic appetite!

Here's come the motto: "Fontana's burgers: we're bigger than others" 
and of course with reasonable price. Worthwhile I would say...
Besides, choices of burger patty are available for customers, you can try either venison, rabbit meat or beef.

Special Chicken Chop
Highlights: chicken chop with lemon batter

Instead of dusting the chicken chop in some flour with breadcrumbs, Ms Riza dips it with lemon batter for frying. Hmmm, another innovative idea to prepare chicken chop... The crispy batter coating the chicken chop gives you a unique way to taste on chicken chop with a tang of lemon, based with savory gravy. Yummy~
Parmesen Crumb Chicken is recommended too.

Mexican Nacho
Hightlights: tortillas served with minced beef in chili con carne, red kidney beans and picked jalapenos slides

Thumbs up!!! This will be my all-time favourite (for my friends too): what a satisfying starter with the crispy tortillas topped with seasoned minced beef,  beans, tomatoes and cheese!  Good accompaniment and it's just too appetizing... for me to go for lavish meal onwards at Fontana.

Dining at Fontana, you could always have your own mood-selection of tea as there are up to 10 kinds of tea for you to choose.

For our first visit to here, Ms Riza recommended us to drink Billy Tea - a blend of Australian bush with smokey aroma. The term of Billy does not called upon a person but refers to tea brewed in a billy pot (small pot used on a campfire for boiling tea). "Billy up to the fire" basically means "put the kettle on".
So, there's an interesting history behind Billy Tea.
Of course, if you are not a tea-lover, other beverages are available in the shop.

Last but not least, Fontana serves food only without MSG.
"I've never use MSG in my cooking, neither I keep MSG at home" as Ms Riza said.
Also, Fontana is so far the only Australian Cafe recognized by Ms Majell Hind, the Consul-General of Australia High Commission in Malaysia.

The picture shows Ms Riza was showing the Fontana's recognition by Australia High Commission.

Verdict: Good value of Aussie food with reasonable prices in a localized Aussie atmosphere. 20 bucks will be enough to give you a full stomach. ^^

Blue Blue 的～

"I feel my mind in ease tonight~~ "

tuning in 988 and become one of the "night听族"...

"I feel cozy tucked up in my bed~~" 

listening to serenades, DJ's words in abundance, that made me having some insights into woes I faced, we are facing them always. 

Tonight theme:

"如果能重来..." what would you say about it...?

someone replied: I hope "tomorrow" could be undone.
another listener replied: I wish I could go back to the days when I learned to smoke from wicked friends.
etc etc...

I was thinking if something in the past could be undone, what would it be?
I was seriously pondering about them, but all I could think is some "I don't want to format my window, I don't want to install these nonsense that caused blue screen or malwares etc.." all were unimportant matters... because I know it's impossible to undo things that have become a history.

as the DJ said, if we could undo our "past tenses", we would not be able to learn from the past, ponder over the incident as we can always undo our action like the computer does - "Ctrl + z" when we regret.
Learning not to repeat the same action...is just important. Our action triggers the motion in the future and that's only happens once; and if tomorrow can be undone, we would take for granted, do things recklessly.

If really I was given a chance to amend something in the past, that would be my Choice after the year of 2006... okay, that's just effective for "IF" notion...
after all, I still am glad with the present... even with some minor regrets, I choose to live on it as I have already learned from them...
