当爱滋生时 @ 李欣怡


好了。终于买了,也终于看完了。
也许有些人会不懂,为什么我会买欣怡的书。我也不懂。也许是题材吸引了我,也许在这个时候李欣怡离开了988,或也许是因为她和我念同一所大学。
现在我可以说我没有后悔买了这本书。
如果要我读一本厚厚的有关艾滋病书,我比较喜欢李欣怡的这一本。
我不是念医学系的学生,太多的医学名词会让我却步。但《当爱滋生时》以散文的方式,简简单单地告诉读者什么是艾滋病,提醒我们不要无知而歧视他们。没有长冗的文字,只有简短的提醒与自我反省。
有很多文章其实是我喜欢的,比如说“长粤剧的老人”这一篇。看这一篇时,我有点怕,因为里边提到鬼,刚巧我一个人在漆黑的夜晚里。我害怕我会听到不想听的声音,看见不想看的物体。当然,一切都只是我想象出来的假象。很多恐惧,始于未知。我们不知道什么是艾滋病,所以怕。我们不知道艾滋病的传染途径,所以怕。我们怕只是因为我们不了解。其实我也觉得惭愧。毕竟我也念了四五年的生物学。课本上教过艾滋病如何传染,如何防范,我还是怕。因为我没有真正的了解——艾滋病。

Charlie Brown Cafe @ KLCC


Hooray!! Finally i step myself in Charlie Brown Cafe at Suria KLCC. This is the second Charlie Brown Cafe in Malaysia after the first shop at Straits Quay, Penang. This is a thematic cafe surrounding by snoopy and his friends. Haha..i really feel excited while i sit inside the cafe with my lovely snoopy. In this cafe, not only food and beverage provided, some snoopy collection also sold in the cafe. However, it take some time to wait for serve even there are not much people. Let's have a look>>


The entrance of Charlie Brown Cafe.


Upper photo: Charlie Brown Cafe is self-service cafe. Customers are allowed to look for the  menu at their place and order your food at the counter. 
Lower photo: The wall of cafe is decorated by snoopy and its friends.. I love this.



In front the counter, you can see the characters in Snoopy. 
Other parts of decoration. You may have your meal inside the School bus, enjoy reading the comic on the wall while waiting for serve or watch the snoopy series played on the TV.



Inside the cafe, there are description about the character in Snoopy world. Here, two of the famous characters for me, Snoopy and Charlie Brown. 




Part of the Comic.


My snoopy table on that day and under a snoopy wall light. It is a mere coincidence, may be the God know that i love snoopy. HAha..


Dessert with character design served in the cafe. I do not try for this time. So, cannot tell how is the taste.




Hot Chocolate with Snoopy art design. RM9.50. 


Mango Lassie. RM13.50. This is quite good.


Spaghetti Bolognese Chicken. RM17.50. Sincerely to say that the taste is not bad but it is not special. For me, it is expensive since it is just a usual spaghetti.  


Woodstock Chicken Chop. RM18.50. Again, the taste is ok. But it will be more delicious if the sauce can be more creamy. Compare to the spaghetti, it is worth.

HOHoHO...okay. Don't misunderstand. Today is not christmas but i got myself with a free book shopping. Who is the Santa Claus? RM200 voucher i received last semester. Feel so grateful to receive it and hope the government will continue this useful plan. I am still planning how to spend it. Must buy the most value books. :) So, today i just spend RM50 to buy the following stuffs. >>

Magnetic Bookmark with Wan Wan design. I buy this to encourage myself to read more. Faithfully to say, reading is the best way to gain knowledge. I love reading but the main problem is i only love Mandarin book. Emm..I hope that with this cute bookmark can encourage me to read other language book.
 [reading is the way to learn].

Jonker Street @ Malacca 鸡场街

After coming back from Genting Highland, I go to Malacca on next day. I love this historical city and Jonker Street is the attraction that i must visit while i pass by Malacca. Jonker street is like a China Town in Malacca. You can find a lots of Chinese traditional food, Baba Nyonya food, cloths, and building which full with historical colour. It really a good place to shopping and enjoy the delicious local food. However the time is limited for this trip..huhhh! Let's show you some places i have visited. 


A big welcome signboard at Jonker street.


Since it is Dragon year, a long dragon on the sky of Jonker street. Dragon is represent luck and wish for Chinese. So i wish i can achieve my dream in this lucky year.


Famosa Chicken Rice Ball. 
It is a famous food in Malacca. The taste is similar to ordinary chicken rice, the only different is they make the rice into a ball shape. Just as the photo in the menu. it is a good try if you never seen before. However, i prefer the ordinary chicken rice. 


Left hand side photo: Boiled white chicken; Right hand side photo: Cendol.
In my opinion, the taste for both are not as good as before. A delicious boiled chicken should be smooth enough. I prefer other chicken rice shop in Jonker street instead of this shop.


Otak- otak. Food make by fish meat and it is popular at Muar.


Upstairs of the restaurant, there are some decoration of chinese traditional culture. Upper picture is the place that Chinese wedding tea ceremony take place. The lower photo is a Chinese character pronounced as "xi", is a word that must use in wedding ceremony. It brings the meaning of good luck and everything will go smooth in future.


Bedroom for the new wedding couple.


I am weak in my Chinese history. I think this are some of the modification room for the palace. 

A modified throne for Qing dynasty. 


Some angpau sell in front of the chicken rice shop. It is quite beautiful.

Nyonya pineapple tart shop.
The pineapple tart is making in the shop and sell directly. So, it is fresh enough. You can smell the sweet smelting of butter in front of the shop.



Pineapple tart just baked. Yummy~~
