Earl Grey - My Favorite Tea of All Time

I just love the citrus-y slight bitter taste of it. The flavor of the tea is very intense, with a hint of fruity scent which lingers long in your mouth after you swallow. Not sure how I got round to love this tea (as my family aint a tea drinker) but as far as I can remember, it is my absolute must order when I need something to warm myself up. 

Out of curiosity, I Googled this marvelous tea to check out what its made from and its benefits:

Earl Grey tea is a tea blend with a distinctive flavor and aroma derived from the addition of oil extracted from the rind of the bergamot orange, a fragrant citrus fruit - Wikipedia

A fruit extract loved by tea drinkers for the aromatic flavor it lends to Earl Grey tea could help you lose weight, lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes.The bergamot orange, grown in the Mediterranean, is being hailed as ‘nature’s statin’. It contains chemicals called citrus polyphenols that appear to block production of blood fats, boost metabolism and prevent cholesterol absorption in the gut. - Daily Mail

So I guess I will not stop taking drinking this cup of goodness for a while...

Just When The Caterpillar Thought...

A friend of mine thought this phrase was intriguing and so shared it with me, which in turn, got me into thinking more. 

Words can be so powerful at times that it could be life changing. And here I am, sitting in the library cracking my brain about what to blog, and this proverb just pops up. 

To me, this meaningful sentence applies to my current situation so adequately that its scary. Right now, I am stuck at the end of tunnel, seeing no light, seeing no way out, thinking that all hope is gone, just wishing that days would just pass by without needing to live... And yet...here comes something so inspirational to perk me up and show me the path...

Being jobless and dirty Malaysian election are just one of the few things that tainted my world and I just wish that all of these can just go away. Thus, I just hope that, one day, I can be like that caterpillar, morphing into a butterfly spreading my wings and fly bravely into the world, conquering my own world. 

I have to stay strong in these difficult times, thus stay tough, stay calm and stay focus Cindy!!!

ENOUGH SAID!!

Tian Lai Seafood Restaurant in Gelang Patah

I'm writing this using my mobile phone... Trying out what's it like to blog on the go. Hey, if u spot any incorrectly spelled phrase or incorrect punctuation and letterings, please forgive me as typing on mobile phones, especially typing something so formally takes twice the effort.

Alright, now onto the restaurant.  I can't give it good score cuz to be honest, I've tasted much better seafood else where in Johor Malaysia with much cheaper prices such as Todak and Straits View. However, the black pepper crab was commendable with juicy fresh meat that easily seperated from its shell. The others was just... meh...

Oh, and another weird thing about this restaurant is that they only allow 1 cooking method for the crab per table,  I.e. u cant order both black pepper crab and salted egg crab. u can only choose 1. Like what da..!!!

Hard Rock Hotel Room Deserves Some Applause

Considering itself 5*, I'd say it well lives up to its stars. Funky and unique decor as well as great quality complimentary teas that they offer in your room, felt really pampered...

See what I mean? 

The downside though is the room's quite dark as there aren't enough lighting around the room and the choice of color that they choose to decorate the room leans toward the darker side. Not a very good spot for reading actually..

Stylish..

Love this bathroom supply stand. Just makes you wanna jam!!

Very fortunate to have a swimming pool view room... A pity I didn't bring any bathing suit.

And a totally irrelevant picture of me in the lift (even the lift is mesmerizing, great concept!!)

Well, will I stay in this hotel again? Hell yeah I would (seeing that this is be my 2nd time)!!!

I Promise I'll Be Back Soon

I'm so sorry to have gone missing in action for almost 3 months. **Shakes head in disbelief and lower eye lids to show signs of guilt**

But I promise, once I get my stuff sorted out, I'll be back in no time (provided that nothing cocks up).

A picture to calm you zombies down... Although I stole it off weheartit.com....

Crazy lifestyle I'm having right now which closes my heart to the outside world is the main reason for the absence. I sincerely apologize for that. Anyway, wish you all have an awesome week ahead.
