Sorbet vs sherbet

Today is so hot & i'm not planning to go anywhere. I just can't stand under the sun. It's not that i am minah saleh but walking under the sun does really make me feel tired, physically & mentally exhausted. I rather stay at home & probably eating an ice-cream or having some coconut drinks. Unfortunately, i dint find any of them in refrigerator. Arrghh, but there was a cup of lemon sorbet however almost empty & expired. So, i asked my sisters to buy me an ice-cream at the nearer shop. They are on their way & will be back soon. Talked about sorbet, what is sorbet actually? As always, i put in yahoo query box & there are two of them. Here it goes:

1. Sorbet: made without milk, were popular in Victorian, England when at large dinner parties the host wished to serve their guest with something refreshing between the starter & main courses. Today ice cream sorbets form part of the world's top restaurants menus equally the same way but they are also eaten by many ppl simply as 'stand alone' refreshing dessert.

Sorbet

2. Sherbet: Almost always has fruit component but also must contain dairy to produce a desert that is lighter than ice cream but reacher than sorbet.

Ohh i see, i don even know this fact before. Hmm... I never try sherbet, have u? How does it taste?

Being late

Thing like having to wait for somebody annoys us. Some people always turn up late for an appointment. Some do not even show up. This lack of punctuality is certainly a bad habit that none should cultivate. Not showing up for an appointment is worse. It amounts to un-trustworthiness. Too sad that i am one of them huh (sigh). Normally i apologize to him/her for being late & i'm not purposely want to be late ok. There must be something that deal with it. Estoy bien lo siento...

Is life too hectic to enjoy fully?

The answer would be a definite yes. The reasons are obvious. Look at me, look at u & look at them. We try so hard to make a good living that we forget to live. Some of us might never know how to relax. We does not enjoy our life anymore & we have no time to live & really really live. Look at the pace of life in a city - rush, rush & more rush to do more & more things in as short a time as possible. I remember during my practical job in Penang last 3 years where i had to rush for ferries & buses. Try walking slowly in a morning-time crowd on the jetty & you will be jostled & pushed if not trampled on. Other example, everybody has got only a short break for lunch. So, it is rush to fill the stomach as quickly as possible at a fast food shop. You see, everything becomes fast, otherwise one cannot cope, cannot meet the deadline. Faster, faster & may b one will be dead faster too.

Such hectic living is not for me. I prefer a slower pace of life where i can savour each moment as much as possible. It is crazy to rush & not to see so many things around us...haishh

So, here i am relaxing my mind with blogging while Jay-Z & Alicia Keys - Empire State of Mind (in NY) sets me at cool tonite.

Have our lives really become any better?

May b some of us (including me) are already numbed by the amount of advertisements on tv, radio & the newspaper. Wat do they all preach? Invariably their products are the best! By using their products we improve our lives - better milk, better juice, better cars, better this & that & so on...all made for a better life. Have our lives really become any better because of all these products ha? If so how is it that we have pollution everywhere. How comes the hospitals & clinics are always full? How do we explain the rise in crime & all manners of human perversion? We are all materialistic...

i think i let jasmine down today. hahah

Movie - Part 2

I heard James Cameron's "Avatar" won the Golden Globe award for best movie drama last week. I did spent my time to watch Avatar with my sisters last 3 weeks & what do u expect me to say? It's really awesome & so breathtaking as we cudnt feel any boring scenes. No wonder in just 2 weeks Avatar has taken in an astonishing $1 billion at the worldwide box office. It’s also on path to sink “Titanic” at the international box office, thus becoming the biggest selling movie of all times.

I thought we spent about 1hr 45mins but we were actually in theater for about 2 hrs & 45 minutes! This 3D sci-fi drama has brought us to some strange places where it's full of glow in the dark stuffs during at night, meeting a lot of attractive blue aliens called Navi, in the same time taking us into great modern + old battle scenes & its unsubtle politics. Offering you no huge star except Segourney Weaver. Too sad Grace dies too soon.

p/s: Avatar on race to win Academy Award next March.
