my sanctuary

KL (Back-date entry)

Went to KL the previous weekend. I've been there several times already but this time, before going, i was already looking forward to it. Over there, I don't need to think about work, abt job search, or even the household chores (hee...). It was really like a quick getaway from the mundane working life that we lead.

So, we did the usual shopping and eating. Went to Ozeki, a Japanese restaurant, for the 1st time and guess what?! I ate beef!!! And it's Kobe beef! MY GOD!!! It's such a sin. But Zuyao kept tempting me, telling me how expensive it is, etc etc.

Well, but it really didn't differ much from other meats i feel. There was no taste, no beef smell...but it was very tender and fresh.

I still remember quite clearly the 1st time i tasted beef. That was in primary 1 when my teacher brought us to the MacDonalds at YMCA. I didn't know what a hamburger contains and i vomitted immediately the 1st bite into the hamburger.

From then on, i've never touched beef at all. Mainly it's also because all along i thought i was the god-daughter of the Guanyin, hence i could not eat beef. Only up till recently that i realised i'm not!!! Really got a big shock coz the reason why i don't eat beef is this, yet now i'm told that i'm NOT Guanyin's god-daughter!

But then i don't think i'm missing out. I still want to stick to a non-beef diet because i pray to Guanyin. At home it's a definite no no to beef, but outside, i won't eat beef, unless it's Kobe beef, i may consider...

Food aside, i learnt how to play 三角麻将！ It's really fun coz it's much faster then normal 4-player mahjong. Luck plays a large part in whether u win or not in 3-player mahjong, it's not like 4-player mahjong where your skills count more than luck. Lost 50 over ringget at first but managed to recoup my losses eventually, hee...

This time round didn't get to eat JW Marriott's 小笼包， next time i'll be back!
