Dinner at BDC Seafood Restaurant

Yesterday, I had dinner with my family at BDC Seafood Restaurant located at BDC Commercial Center.

A glimpse at the place from outside.

The main entrance.

Entering the place, I noticed that they had partitioned the ground floor.The result ? A small and cosy dining area at the ground floor. The dinner we had was nice but quite costly. In addition to a bowl of white rice each ( I had two) , we ordered :

Onion and ginger venison

Hung Sao Tofu

Bilin with red wine

An exquisite dish of Borneo. I haven't seen this in West Malaysia.The taste of wine wasn't that strong but it blended nicely with the bilin.

Crispy threadfin

A very appetizing dish. And the fish was fresh.

Kailan

This dish was also well cooked. Surprisingly, I ate quite a portion of it. I'm not really a fan of this dish, but my taste bud surrendered to such a nice dish. Overall, it was a nice dinning experience I had there. Stay tuned for more food. =p

Chicken Balls

This happened sometime ago, but the balls are too tempting. So, I decided to write a post about it. I had the opportunity to try Malacca's famous chicken rice balls.
Thanks to LuLu who hails from Malacca.
As a famous shop in Malacca, hungry customers had to queue up while waiting to be seated.

This is a set of meal for five.

Here's a closer look at the chicken meat.

And not to forget, the balls:

Chicken rice balls.

Don't they look cute.

And obviously we had a photo session.

We initaily tried to set the timer for the camera, but a kind hearted customer volunteered to help us. =)

Revival of the shutter bug

I saw a cat outside the window yesterday. And decided to do some photography. Since, it's volunteering to be my model.

This is taken with my phone.

Realizing that it wasn't a good shot, I hunted searched for my aging camera. It's been some time since I used it.Hence, I took these:

With optical zoom only.

Unable to get a clear shot of the creature, I opted for digital zoom.

A little blur.

Frustrated with the quality of photos taken, I decided to try my luck outside with my phone.

Doesn't seem any better.

Confessions

This isn't the most interesting post, but please bear with me. I need a channel to rant.No, it's not that I'm not contented with what I have but rather it's the regret of what I have lost.But, that's just a matter of perspective.

Cheerful as I usually seem, there are times when I really break down.

You know , at times, I feel rather disappointed with myself. It's amazing , how long , I have lived , in ignorance, without realizing a lot of things. There are episodes, where I truly regret for taking things for granted. I'm not seeking to be an replica of an over-achiever, nor am I seeking to own the world.

The fact is , there's plenty of opportunities which I have always took for granted. Episodes of idling, taking people I love for granted, and even not completing what I set out to achieve. There just too much in my life. It takes a lot of courage to realized how much I have lost as a repercussion of my blatant ignorance or should I say my inability to appreciate what was there- the chance available.

Instead I do the wrong thing at the wrong time.Or sometimes, the temptation of maintaining the norm,it's just too tempting. I guess that where I should draw the line. The very reason, I am sitting here hoping while others are achieving what they want. Although, William Hung may not be the most appealing example to follow, his attitude of doing the best and having no regrets, is indeed something to look up at.

There are times, I had so much I wanted to say ,but I ended up saying nothing. Such irony in life. Perhaps, I didn't know where to start.

Today, I woke up, feeling rather disappointed with myself. I had a short chat with Yung Terd, which confirms my view that, people are losing out a lot due to the absence of opportunity. Or rather the knowledge and appreciation of it.

Everyday, I see people seeking for change.But,Change is a powerful word, that many people aspire and hope for, yet they are afraid of it at the same time.

Philosophical as it sounds, these are thoughts not many people think of . While some people are still searching for goals in life , I already have an image of it. It's just a matter of putting it into action.

You may not understand what I am talking about, for I am talking on a broad range of issues in my life.Don't bother asking. There are things that you'll never understand if you haven't been through what I have. This post shall serve as a reminder to myself,to prevent myself from disappointing myself or the people I care about, anymore. What I am today, is a product of my actions in the past.

What I am in the future? That depends on what I have the courage to do.
