About Me

Today was one of those “less fire” days. I’m not sure what didn’t work out well. Was it my to-do list that wasn’t done before I started my day or was it the tiredness from yesterday or was it this pandemic that has been draining most of my life? I still don’t know, but maybe I would – once I finish writing this. We all have our share of less energetic and idk-wth-is-wrong-with-me-days. On those…

Lion Queen

Today I woke up to at least 5 people’s status which had the song “Singgapenney” playing in the background of their videos. So much love and respect for women in a single day, which is nice, but I wonder if they feel the same every other day. Then I checked Instagram and saw lots of posts about girl gangs, women who stand by each other, quotes from inspiring women and a whole load of other stuff.…

Hacks

Back in the 2000s (I mean year 2008 onwards) hacks meant hanya aku cinta kau seorang (h.a.c.k.s), that’s what my friends told me so. Idk if you’ve heard about it, but chances are if you’ve heard of it, you’re probably so old now which leads to my next point i.e – you’re most probably in your final year of university or started working or maybe you have a hustle of your own. Remember those days…

Pet Peeves

The first time I heard that word I was like, wait what – pet pee? Then I obviously googled it, it had nothing to do with pets. To sound fancy at work, recently I made everyone (my teammates) talk about it. I’ll save your time so that you don’t need to google it in case you haven’t heard of it: Pet Peeves = Something/habits that annoy the heck outta your life. That reaction you givewhen someone…

Honesty & Necessity

It has been 11 days to be exact, ever since I decided to embark on this whole Kezia 2.0 lifestyle. Blogging every day, which ended up to be alternate days, because I need time to think and every day was just too overwhelming. I wanted blogging to be a happy thing, not something that causes me stress. There was one other thing I wanted to do – reading, in fact, reading was like my main goal and…

Love it? Let it go.

If you know me, you know my never-ending love towards cooking. Heard of the saying, if you love someone/something, let them/it go. Yeah, the same story, I “love” cooking and that’s why I let it go. In case you haven’t read about my dessert mishaps, I’ve been banned from the kitchen ever since. However, I make frequent visits to slice fruits or whenever I’m given the honorary job of shredding…

Love or Hate?

We live an average of 70 years on earth. I mean, sometimes God extends lives and that’s a whole different story. But if there’s one relationship you can never understand is, the relationship you have with your sibling(s). You can’t live with them, you can’t live without them and you spend almost 20 years wondering if that person in your house is a villain or an angel. G and I spent most of our…

Heart. Beats. Fast

You have no idea how annoyed I was with my work laptop yesterday. That thing just magically seems to spruce up work at the final moments I decide to log off. Anyone else been there? So in case you missed me yesterday… Hello! I missed myself too. Okay back to business. Yesterday, my heart stopped beating. JK. Almost la okay. Event No. 1 As I was rancidly typing away in a fast and furious speed,…

Petite Picasso (Part 2)

Incase you checked my blog a few years ago (LOL), I got really inspired by a bunch of paintings and the amount of money they were worth, so much so that I questioned studying after that. Like I could just throw around some colours and become a millionaire (wohoo). Yesterday, I told you about how I unloved reading & how I’m tryna patch things up. Sounds like a relationship, but this isn’t a…

Part 1: How to Grill

Hey guys, everyone is in this unimaginable situation. This breakup with reality, with everything we’ve been used to and most importantly a breakup with our usual routine. But the good thing is I guess everyone is trying to stay safe, sane and do new stuff. If you’re that one person who’s got a timetable & ticking everything off your To-do list systematically, good for you. Guess what, I just got…

All I want for Christmas

Hello everyone! Christmas is the time of the year where Ruth Kezia decides to blog again. I wish y’all missed reading my rants. But even if you don’t, here’s another one. It feels good to be back after 9 months. So many events have happened throughout this year and if you probably follow me on Instagram, you would have known that we got rid of G in a pretty nice function. I’ve been so busy and…

Hellooo! Thanks for stopping by at this ungodly hour of the day. But I really needed to talk to someone about my sad relationship with my fridge, kitchen, and FOOD in general. So if you don’t already know, I stay at a hostel during the weekdays which means I have to find for my own food. Previously, even when I used to stay in the hostel, Mrs. Home Minister used to pack a basket full of home cooked food, juices, (inserts all the healthy things in the world here) for me. However, she has kinda abandoned me (on a part-time basis) to look into other matters like checking out Anitha Puspavanam’s Youtube Channel and seeing what pots and pans Saranya Ponvanan bought for her new kitchen. Okay just kidding, Mrs. Home Minister is a quite busy and I thought -> getting my own meals was a grown-up thing to do.

As much as I’d love to applaud myself for growing up, I did the worst thing ever by telling her not to worry if she doesn’t pack food for me. Here goes a bunch of food mishaps that happened throughout the week. Warning you might feel like crying at my misery (so please grab a tissue).

Mishaps are stated in no particular order.

Roti Canai with the Invisible Curry. The roti canai was good, but I kinda felt that I was dipping it in flavored water rather than a curry. I was so near to booking a flight ticket to India for the roti canai guy so that he could go there, learn how to make curry and then come back.

Mysterious Milk Powder. On one fateful day, I decide to make myself a bowl of milk to have it with Cornflakes and lo and behold, the milk powder didn’t mix with the water (like how normal milk is made). But rather, it started separating and idk how else to describe the phenomena which happened in that bowl! (Apparently, the milk powder had turned bad)

Foodtortoise. Actually, it’s FoodPanda, but my food that was supposed to take 40 minutes to arrive only arrived in an hour (i.e 20 minutes late). In that 1 hour, technically, Mrs. Home Minister could have come from Seremban to bring me food.

Rest assured, I will not be eating roti canai, drinking milk or ordering from Food Panda for the next 1-2 weeks.

Also to those of you who think I’m a lazy bum-bum who doesn’t know how to cook. We can’t use a stove in the apartment. Plus, you’re right: I don’t know how to cook. (good luck Prince Charming)

OH WAIT. Let me tell you the first and the last time I entered my house kitchen. Just to state the fact that I did try being friends with the stuff in my kitchen.

So one fateful day this year, I made a Thai dessert called “Red Rubies”. (kinda close to cooking okay)

Here what you’re supposed to do: You’re supposed to chop water chestnuts, coat the water chestnuts in tapioca flour and then boil them (I guess). Finally, serve them with chilled coconut milk.

I was really stupid that day in the kitchen… So here’s what I did: I took the custard flour (it smelt like tapioca, trust me – I promise) and put it on the chopped water chestnuts. Then the chestnut started turning yellow when the custard flour came in contact with water, and I felt like Ms. Einstein. After some time G & daddy came to laugh at my misery. They wanted to show me which was the tapioca flour and idk which mega chef left the icing sugar on the countertop. So I washed the chestnuts (which were turning yellow coz of the custard flour) and almost coated them with icing sugar (which was on the countertop). This time I became a bit smarter, before coating them, I tasted it.

It tasted sweet (sugar icing, obviously sweet) and so I called mummy to ask her the exact location and where the world was the tapioca flour situated. Guess what she told me: that the tapioca flour had finished. She was kind enough to get me a packet of flour but that came along with a long long long lecture on how I shouldn’t shoo away other chefs who came to help me. (Please note: initially, I shooed away Chef Daddy & Chef G coz of their lack of experience and I didn’t want their negativity)

Once that prized tapioca flour reached my hands, I saw the chef in me come out. Little did I know that instead of lightly coating the chestnuts, I kinda gave them a spa in the tapioca flour.

Long story short, I put the spa-ed chestnuts to boil & finally served them in chilled coconut milk. I still remember the brand of Coconut Milk I bought “Ayam Brand – Santan Kelapa”. You want to know why?

Because…

After so much of toiling and experimenting and everything. I made Mr. Prime Minister (Daddy), Mrs. Home Minister (Mummy) & G taste my hard work. You know what they said, “not bad ah, it tastes nice”.

And I asked them… “What? Yay, you mean my dessert is nice?”

They were like (with guilty faces)… “Ermm nope, the Santan (coconut milk) tastes really nice, although it’s ready-made”.

I hereby announce that I officially hate ready-made coconut milk, because it jeopardized the star of that night – my dessert.

Jokes aside, I almost cried eating that dessert coz, it felt as if I was walking in a tapioca farm. I HAD PUT SO MUCH OF TAPIOCA FLOUR. My family ended up eating the chestnut-tapioca gooey mess because they loved me.

Also, they loved themselves equally, so they made me promise I’ll visit the kitchen with a different food recipe.

This misery of mine made me think of a better idea, which can be used in the future. Don’t blame me, ACCA has always taught us to talk about the future.

VACANCY: FULL-TIME CHEF

GENDER: MALE

COMMENCEMENT: IN 5-6 YEARS TIME

PERSON TO CONTACT: MUMMY & DADDY

All the best in figuring out what the vacancy actually means. GOOD LUCK!

Vacancy! Hellooo! Thanks for stopping by at this ungodly hour of the day. But I really needed to talk to someone about my sad relationship with my fridge, kitchen, and FOOD in general.

The Wedding!

Omg! Hi everyone! Remember me? I’m Liar Kezia. Eh sorry, I meant Ruth Kezia. Remember the times I had resolutions to blog every week or month or whatever… Naan-sense, just pray I don’t become an annual blogger (you know, blogging once a year)

Before you give me that seruppe adi (whacking with a slipper) for being MIA for a long time, I just want to tell you that I’ve missed blogging for a long…

Oh My God. It has been so long. If I planted a mango tree the last time I blogged, I would have started a mango pickle business by now. Geddit? Don’t geddit? Never mind, no time to explain. Every time I feel like updating about something which happened, I don’t have time and then I’m on to the next phase in my life. Like, remember the whole kindergarten…

If there was one thing I wanted to do at the beginning of April was to blog every day since I started working at a circus (I mean kindergarten). However, as time passed I thought blogging day in and day out about my circus ventures on taming the kids, yelling at them and my road to discovery on how the heck to make them listen might not be so interesting (especially when its done on a daily…

18 and Legal

My twin turned 18 today! Four years apart but she’s of the same height, same size, wears a similar kind of specs but most all she shares the same views as I do. And by views, I mean she shares the same love I have for heels. Among the entire Bridesmaid Band team, she’s one person who has taken my teachings on never wearing freaking kitten or court heels to any part of this world. Flats or 4 inch,…
