The Swim

Water has always been an important element in my life. The healing, cleansing, thereupatic and refreshing effects works good for my health. It also filled me with much calmess and comforts.

Last week i decided to go for a swim at Putrajaya Maritime centre. It was 8pm when i reached the pool. Entrance fee costs only RM5 per person, very cheap! 

The water was icy cold! I found out the hard way though, by jumping straight into the pool! Splashh!! Suffered from brainfreeze for a few minutes. Hahahaa! But look at this view! It was incredible! 


 The pool is facing the Putrajaya Lake, and you can enjoy the night skyline of Putrajaya. You can also see the brightly lit Putrajaya bridges from here. Awesome right? It's a good place for reading as well (during daytime of course). 

By the end of my swim (pool closes at 9.45pm) my work stress has reduced, backache has dissapeared, and I felt happyyy! Woohoo! :-D 

If you haven't been here, I strongly recommend this pool to you! See you all soon!

Kacang Pool (aka foul)

This is one of my favourite breakfast when i was a kid in Singapore. My dad often buy this from an arab stall in Geylang Serai. Kacang pool is also famous in Johor. But when u travel to other parts of Malaysia, it is really hard to get a good kacang pool. Especially in KL. So i made my own! Woohoo!


This dish is made of beans, minced beef/lamb, onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder and coriander powder, little bit of ghee. I didnt share the recipe here, because it wasn't as good.It taste okay, but not as good as the ones i had in Singapore. Will try other recipes next time, and share it with you guys :-) 



In my family we cut the eggs into smaller pieces using a spoon, before scooping it with bread.  Usually it is served with sunny side up. I hate egg yolk, so i didn't prep the sunny side up.




Just use your hands to tear the french loaf. You can slice it if u want to go fancy though ;-) 


Anyway, i can't wait to go back to my hometown! Miss my family and the local foods there, especially this delicious kacang pool! 



Thank you for reading, see you all later!
