I Ponder My Life

By the river, I ponder my life and wait for spring to come......................

Gado-Gado For Dinner

Combination of boiled vegetables plus tofu can be a very welcoming dinner served. Since there were not many choice of vegetables that I favored and would like to have in this combination could be found here, I was left with no choice but cabbage, bean sprout and carrot, then I add boiled eggs as well as tofu. This combination in actual fact is gado-gado (the famous Indonesian salad) served with peanut sauce and I got mine courtesy of my cousin (thanks Nana). It was a satisfying dinner for me of course. Hoping my appetite will be better each day.

Life Will Hit Us Hard

I learned that life will hit us hard in the face when you least expected it, when you think that everything is going smooth and that all the grey matters have been ironed out. And when you get back up on your feet it can always come kicking you hard again and again, till you don’t even know which direction you should be turning to; yet you refused to surrender and to be defeated. It hurts a lot, mind you a lot and you began to wonder how to have a quick fix to all the blows that were given to you. No matter how hard I tried, I found that my hands are always too small to catch all the pain that I wanted to be healed from.

Huge Elephant

It is right; they said that every day is a new day which brought with it a new beginning and a new life. However, this feeling that I am having like as though there is a huge elephant sitting on my chest remain with me every single day now and have been for a while. It is suffocating me, dragging me down and I find it very difficult to focus on many everyday things. I get easily annoyed by simple things and, that made me refused to have any conversation with anyone. I feel that I am just lost at this point of my life, and yes, I am heartbroken too.

Rice Porridge

Rice porridge is the best to eat when nothing else is welcoming to your palate. I am still confused to what is the caused to the strange change of my palate. It is super annoying and whilst everyone else enjoyed the food, I was left wondering often at the dining table.

Anyone interested here is how my rice porridge is cook.

Ingredients 

2 cups of rice (I use basmati)
Some meat – cut into thin slices (beef or chicken depending on what you have in the freezer)
Some Baby bok choy
1 whole medium sized yellow onion, 3 cloves garlic and 2 inch ginger (chopped finely)
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

Wash rice, put in a deep pot add together with the meat and add about 5 cups of water, leave to boil on medium high heat. It might take a couple of hours for the rice to be disintegrated to porridge like texture. You might need to add some more water if necessary depending on the texture of the rice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Finally add the baby bok choy and all the chopped onion, garlic and ginger. Served hot.
