Malaysia 2013 (part1)

I'm back to Malaysia again to visit my best bud and to please myself with yummy foods and little shopping time. It was a good day, me and bud found ourselves craving for ramen noodle soup so we decided to check out Ippudo. I had heard and read lots about Ippudo (yeah it's Indonesian's favorite ramen) and we were hungry after having a packed day the day before, so what could be better than a steamy satisfying bowl of salty goodness? I ordered Ippudo’s specialty, ramen, specifically tonkotsu ramen. The pork stock base is surprisingly light in texture (some pork-based broths are so high in gelatin, it's like moisturizing your mouth) but big on the porky flavour while the noodles are needle slim. And the result is a light, bright noodle soup that makes you hard to leave the restaurant. Make sure that you don't spend too much time taking picture of the food bcs your ramen must be eaten while it's still hot and by this you'll be sure to get to taste the best quality of the ramen hehe.

Finally I bought a hot red lipstick from Mac and put it on for a while (it's all gone after I struggled with my big bowl of ramen) 

Auntie Annes, my all time favorite snacks

KFC in Korean style and a bowl of chicken rice? So good 

On the next day, I visited Komugi Cafe at Pavilion Mall. It showcases the best of Japanese cafe culture and traditional French baking. The place is well designed and gives calming feeling. Since we were having lunch soon, I chose macaron and small japanese pudding to eat. Macaron was okay but I love the Toyohashi pudding which is served in a cute jar. It was sweet, smooth, and wobbly!

Karaage Chicken Curry by Santouka is a must try!

Bombshells

Barbara Palvin or Barbie, that's how fans call her, stole my attention last year when she became the model of Armani Exchange. She got popular after joining Victoria's Secret family as one of the angel. Below are pictures of her for Replay spring/summer campaign 2013

My favorite model since I don't know when, Miranda Kerr, collaborating with Mango for the spring/summer 2013 season. She looks flawless!

Pre-destined

Have been so busy dealing with my final paper to make sure I'll be graduated with a bachelor's degree this year. It's like one more step to go then I'm done with university life (hell yeah!) However, now my mind is being interrupted by what chinese fortune teller's told me recently about my life in the future (the FT is famous with its accurate this and that). Actually some sounds great, but there's one.. sounds uneasy to me. I think I find myself worrying about a future event because I'm picturing a negative outcome. I know that I'm worrying about what may happen, not what will happen.  But then I realize about something, something stronger and greater than anything, and that's His will. Yeah, I stop worrying :)

There are some thoughts about fortune teller issue. Many people enjoy going to fortune teller and get predictions regarding future lives. Then when the predictions come true, they think how accurate the FT was. But might not these results have came about because of our own mindset? For example if the FT says that you would be able to find a great job as a doctor in the future, your thoughts would immediately change in that direction and you would keep thinking about it until it really becomes real in your life.

Now this also makes sense why we shouldn't take FT's prediction seriously, because WE CREATE OUR FUTURE. It all ties into our belief in the predictions and the predictor. Our present belief and statement that this is going to happen brings it to pass. This is because we will be what we are being now. So, what do you think?

I personally doubt about pre-destiny in the common sense. I believe that each person’s life can change such that there is no such thing as a place we are supposed to end up. I’ve come to realize that we essentially create your destiny at a very young age. Not that we are pre-destined but that you are more likely to follow a set of patterns that evidently shape the outcome of where we end up in life.

"Our lives are shaped and each railroad tie laid are directly made by every single person we interact with. From the moment we're born, every interaction we make or don’t make will change the course of we life forever"
