Happy Friday!

There are times when you go to bed, with your alarm clock set. But you wake up fresh before the alarm clock rings....your first thought, let's get the day started! That is when you know you had a GOOD NIGHT's SLEEP.

That was how Ping's morning started today. Woke up, washed up and started reading some review paper for class later that day. By the time Ping finished the paper, it was only 6.30am...so decided to make some breakfast - roti canai and kurma chicken!
Roti canai...that's one of the most popular breakfast dish in Malaysia. It is a piece of dough cooked on a flat pan and eaten with various types of curry. Ping's favorite roti canai is roti planta - roti canai with some margarine (but Planta is much nicer than margarine. Actually Planta is a brand name of a margarine that is often used in M'sia but Ping thinks that it taste a little different from most margarine)...yeah, not a very healthy one but 'ho chiak' enough already lah. Hehehe... Occasionally, Ping would order roti telur (add egg) but it usually makes the roti much more filling so it is the choice only if Ping is super hungry.

While Ping is on the roti canai topic, some memories of eating at a roti canai stall right next to a main road back in Sri Subang. This particular stall has one of the best roti canai Ping ever had. It started out as a small stall on the pavement right next to someone's house, next to the main road of Sri Subang. There was only one long table where we have to share it with random strangers. Later, they moved into a food court closer to our house. It was not any posh restaurant and stray cats frequently roam around the table...nope, not a pretty sight, but that's what Ping grew up with...one of the great memories. Wonder if the stall is still there at the food court....

Back to today, continued working on stuff for ESP after breakfast. It was definitely a very productive morning for Ping. The feeling is awesome!!! Class was great too! Ping was a little lost every now and then because Ping didn't know the background of the author of the report, which sounds like a pretty scandalous background. But, Ping still loves the class!

After work, we (Steph, Kristi and Ping) went over to Jen's place for dinner and hang out. It was nice just to sit around and talk about what's going on about us...just life in general, talk about our childhood ( we actually talked about 尿尿 and 夢游). It has been quite a while since we had the chance to do that. Ping have been planning the big gorilla experiment on Fridays so always end up skipping our Friday girls night out because by the time Ping is done with the experiment and the cleaning up, it is pretty late.

Jen and Kristi prepared dinner for us while Ping and Steph met up with them later due to some unavoidable incident. Salad with mushroom and Wheat Thins. The multigrain Wheat Thins are really good!
After salad, we hang around Jen's place for a while before heading towards Krispy Kreme. That's the best doughnut in town! Way better than the Dunkin Donuts here but Ping still likes the doughnuts back home.
There's the football season donuts...none of us got it but it sure looks cute!

This one on the right is Ping's favorite! Chocolate coated...custard filling...yummy!!

We also get to watch them make doughnuts...and we happens to be there when the machine was not 100% efficient because we saw lots of cacated doughnuts.
After the snack, we took a short trip to Chang-Wee residence for a lantern walk to celebrate Lantern Festival/Mooncake Festival/Mid-Autumn Festival.

好快樂的星期五!
