Asam Laksa, Roti Canai, Bubble tea..what else???
I cooked My favorite food asam laksa at home. It was really unbelievable that it taste so good. Thanks to the Lucky Chinese Supermarket that newly opened in Winnipeg, there are a lot of ingredients imported from Malaysia. I found petai, pandan leaves, asam laksa paste, gula Melaka, durian and etc. I bought bubble tea and make young coconut bubble tea, it taste very good too. The last picture is the poach egg with honey dill sauce baked salmond. There are a lot more Malaysian foods I am thinking to make like char kuey teow, zhu chang fen, rojak, BAK Zhang, curry laksa.. Let me know if you have any suggestion...

知足常乐
最近常常下雨，天气很冷，早晨六点半就穿好雨衣骑脚车去上班。因为狂风的关系，骑起脚车也特别地吃力。这一周，几乎天天都下雨，每天骑着脚车的时候，觉得自己很可怜。别人还在睡梦中熟睡着，我却淋着雨。当旁边的车经过我的时候，或者我越过一滩水时，水渐上自己的身上，觉得很难受。抵达工作地点时，汗水与雨水融在一块，看起来湿湿的，觉得很狼狈。下雨天骑脚车上班的二十分钟，比起上班的八个小时来得辛苦。
前天，当我在骑脚车上班的时候，突然体会“知足常乐”这四个子。想想其实我比很多人都幸福多了。我有很疼我的家人，三餐都吃得很好，能在外国留学，毕业后还能及时找到自己喜欢的工作，下班回家还可以享受自己的生活，我还有什么可撼叹的。
每个人都有欲望。不管在物质上，生活素质上永远都不会画上个句点。有了手机，想要电脑；有了车子，想要房子；有了房子，想要更大的房子。。。。我也不例外，想想当初很想出国念书的我与现在的我，欲望和想法都有所不同。当初觉得能出国读书，省一点也没关系。不知不觉，自己的欲望越来越大。有了小的电子琴还不知足，结果就买了一个更好的。之前很想有辆脚车，现在有了脚车，却觉得骑脚车很累，想要买车。现在想想，我有辆脚车已经算很好了。那些没有钱买脚车的孩子，也一样能生存。在世界各角落的某些人，没有一餐吃得饱，吃的不是什么參茸海味，只要能有点食物进肚已经满足了。为什么我们不能像这些人，觉得知足就好呢？
现在每当我觉得自己很颓废，很辛苦的时候，想到这四个字“知足常乐”，就觉得生活其实不是我们想象中那么困难。知足固然很重要，但是却不能因为“知足”而停下脚步。继续奋斗，面对挑战，往自己的梦想出发，凭着“知足常乐”，我们的生活就会有所而改善。

The end of the Uni life
I should have posted this a while ago, but I was too busy and tired recently. I organized a lunch party for all graduating food sciences students and professors. I was so happy that the responses were really good. We had a nice talk with professors and discuss about the program and courses of food science. Our professors are really friendly. At first I worried that they won't show up to this little lunch for social, surprisingly all of the professors showed up, Except Dr Blank and Dr Fulcher who were on their summer vacation.
After the lunch, I went to say good bye to Career Services, where I volunteered for 2 years. I built a strong relationship with them, and they taught me a lot of things. Since most of them are expert in career related area, they guided me in writing a perfect resume, cover letter, improved my interview skill, improve my communication skill and improve my network skill. I will say they are one of the reasons why I get a full time job offer before I graduate.
Surprisingly, the farewell with them is simple but memorable. We have a good chat for a long time, and got some gift and wishes from them. Before I leave, I was a bit sad because I may not see them often in the future.
I am very satisfied with my Uni Life. I did my best to achieve my goal, which is GPA3.8. This is because I want to get a full scholarship for master program. In my 2 years of uni in UOM, taken 22 courses, my results are 1A+, 15A, 4B+ and 2B, graduated with a GPA of 3.84, which has exceeded my expectation. Whether or not I will study for master degree is all depend on how much I like my current job. Now, I like my job. It is challenging, and keep learning new things everyday. The most difficult part is biking to work. Sometimes it is really exhausted to bike under heavy rain and strong wind. Hopefully can get a car before this winter.
My favorite professor, Dr. Hydamaka, he told me about the job opening of my current job and encouraged me to apply. Thanks to him so much.

My course mates, never forget how hard we studied for "HACCP"
