Cheers To Every Little Good Thing

We always tend to forget to be thankful for every little thing granted to us and channeled the energy to whine on what we do not have.

My sister shared with me a funny video this morning. It did give me a good laugh. Exaggerating but it's rather meaningful if you think deeper into the message behind the hilarious scenes. If you can be delighted or pleased by little things, you are a happier person =) However, at times, you need to be a little demanding to get things moving. Well, there should always be a balance in everything.

Have a great Sunday!

Cheers to sunny Sunday!

P.S. I Love You

It's a book and a movie that moves many hearts and causes many to shed tears. I had read the book myself - mmm, quarter of the book but enough to move me.

I finally managed to enjoy the entire movie today. I missed it once few weeks back in Bangkok. It wasn't that easy to look for the free source. Last night, I was watching from a "free site" and while I was drawing myself into the movie, the movie stopped playing and I had this message splashed across the screen: "You have watched 72 minutes of the video. You would need to wait for 54 minutes to continue watching or sign up here". Searching in youtube is a completely futile attempt. So, don't bother. If you have the patience to wait for the full movie to load, please see it here.

It simply lives up to its expectations and the reputation that it had earned. A definite must watch. Please prepare some tissues so that you don't have to use your blouse to wipe your tears or to blow your nose ;)

Dealing with the departure of someone dear to you isn't easy at all. Most people did not or have not planned their own death. Well, not planning how to die but planning for your dear ones should death come knocking at your door. It takes a lot of energy and effort to get over the grief and move on with life but if there's one thing you could do to help your dear ones, it does make a difference.

P.S. I Love You reminded me to do just that.

P.S. Thank you!

Amadeus

This is the first post with pictures of food since my arrival in Copenhagen. The spirit of Petite Lass on food blogging is back! It's a lovely day. The warmest day of the 13 days I am here. The sun was shining on my face and yet there's gentle wind blowing against me, messing up my hair.

While I was hunting for a place to have a decent meal, I passed by a quaint shop named Amadeus. There's a menu pasted outside the shop. Looked promising. So I decided to fill my growling tummy at Amadeus! When I swung opened the door, I only saw pastries, confectioneries and bakeries on the shelves. I continue to walk and had myself seated at the nearest table, nonetheless. The brownies looked extremely rich in chocolate and tempting.

A couple of minutes later, a Hawaiian looking girl approached me and asked if I were there to eat. I nodded and replied with a "yes". She then handed me a menu. There weren't many alternatives and yet, I took quite some time to make the call.

Candle holder.I like the design. Delicate and sophisticated. Pork tenderloin with beetroot, salad and baked potatoes.Baked potatoes. I thought it would be blend just like any other baked potatoes I tasted for the past 2 weeks. I was very much delighted that they proved me wrong. It's well seasoned and baked to perfection. Sweet!

Who's that?

My phone suddenly rang this morning. I thought my alarm went off and it's time to get up. It's about 5.20AM. The caller ID on the screen displayed a number from Malaysia. I took the call anyway. It's from the relocation company in Malaysia. I am impressed how efficient they were. The relocation agent in London just spoke to me the afternoon before today and I got a call when Malaysia started to work!

After finding out I was actually in Copenhagen, she apologised profusely. I told her it was all right. It's not too early anyway. I was awake usually at that time but would laze around till about 6.30AM or 6.45AM before getting up.

During lunch, the cafeteria served rice and a stew that I thought consist of kidney beans with curry, turned out to be wolf berries. It's rather sweet and the combination of sweetness, sourness and spiciness wasn't that appealing, really. It's the oddest thing I ever tasted. Fortunately, the yellow curry chicken came to the rescue. It wasn't spicy at all to Malaysian standard but it fared far better than the wolf berries stew. I am shuddering at the thought of the stew :S

Dinner was great. Thanks to Pat for bringing to the Vietnamese restaurant. To my surprise, the restaurant is operated by a Chinese family who speaks Cantonese. I suddenly felt at home. They speak the same language as I do! It's during the dinner that I found out I should not attempt wrapping spring rolls. LOL. I failed terribly. Anyway, the food is now safely in my tummy.

*Yawn* My eyes are getting heavy. Time for bed. Night.

What's That Noise?

I suddenly noticed there were so many strange noises in the room. Firstly, I heard the floorboard creeking so much as though there was people walking up and down next to me. The wall and floorboard are THAT thin! It's annoying. While I was enjoying the movie "The Proposal" from Youtube, the noise became more audible. Ishhhh, quiet! Don't break the romantic atmosphere =p

Then, there's this buzzing noise which irritated my ear drums. It's not loud but enough to cause some ringings in my head. I had to resort to listen to David Tao's songs. Haha.

As I shifted myself on the chair, it let out another creek. Does everything has to creek inside here? By the time I leave for Singapore, I would have known how to compose a song with creeks! LOL

It's rainy today. The chill from the damp wind ran through my body as I was marching down the street to the restaurant next to THE hotel. It's a quaint restaurant but rather gloomy. Once again, I had myself seated at a 2-seat corner and ordered what I ordered the last time - Steak of Salmon, but I told them not to give me potatoes as I recalled the portion was rather huge. To my disappointment, today's portion wasn't that generous. The salmon looked so tiny against the rectangular plate. Instead of zuchinis, carrots and mmm...I cannot remember what other types of vegetables there were but definitely a variety, I was presented with finely diced carrot and potato cubes to go with the salmon. It's indeed a far cry from my last scrumptious meal.

Anyway, I am happy I had a proper dinner =)

Mexicano Chicken Wings....

I had this sudden craving for Mexican chicken wings yesterday. It's unfortunate that when I deliberately went to the Mexican restaurant which I went with my friend last week was not opened! The business only starts from 1700 hours =.=""

After knowing the exact opening hours, I went there again today to satiate my craving. I made sure that I stopped by no earlier than 1700 hours. It's indeed opened today! Delighted, I chose a place which I felt comfortable and placed my order.

Although the chicken wings still tasted great (except there were some carbon on the outer layer of the wings), the nachos didn't fare that well. They were far better last week. I wasn't sure if it's because the fact that I had company last week but not today, which then made the food less tasty or the standard dropped a little today. Anyway, I was satisfied that I finally got to taste the mexican chicken wings! I should have sweet dreams tonight =)
