First Day of Summer 2016

Hi, guys!

Just a quick update! I realized that I rarely update my blog recently. It's not because I'm a busy person. Well to be honest, I do have plenty time to update my blog but y'know, writer's block. I'd love to write but I never have ideas that stand out to me as something that I'd like to write and I'm so not good with words. It's making me really frustrated and makes me feel like I should quit writing. Okay, that's that. Let's proceed to main topic.

So today is the first official day of summer, also known as the Summer Solstice. Yep, summer's finally here! HAPPY  LONGEST AMOUNT OF DAYLIGHT DAY! Thanks to Facebook for letting me know about this. But I'm still confused though because some websites say tomorrow, June 21st is the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. The official date of the first day of summer varies depending on the country's climate I guess.

Don't get confused with the "Longest day of the year". The day is still 24 hours, it's the hours of daylight that are the longest. Almost 15 hours of daylight. That's what I read from other websites.

The sun rises at 6:13 a.m. here on the summer solstice and sets at 9:08 p.m. That's 14 hours and 55 minutes of daylight to enjoy! - source

It's hot and humid here and I feels like I'm in Malaysia right now. Is Houston hotter than Malaysia? I don't know which is hotter but I can tell you it's REALLy hot here. At least, in Malaysia, it's not that hot and humid in the morning. The highest temperature can be reached for now up to 107 Fahrenheit.

That's what I've heard.

Other than humidity and hot weather, people loves summer because SUMMER MEANS VACATION!

Traveling and explore new places and relaxing in the pool on a floating lounge chair enjoying cold lemonade.

It's time to take all the sundresses out, sandals, sunglasses, short pants etc. Getting the tanned skin. Well, I don't need a tanned skin because I already had a tanned skin haha. Anyway, I'll be inside of the building most of the time though.

It's a beautiful day isn't :)

It's 08:43 PM

PS: I've been thinking about my blog's name. Miss Young Lady kind of childish for me right now, so I wanted to change it but I still don't have ideas yet. Hmmmm

Houston Flood Recovering

Finally, I got in to the office yesterday. My stepdad back home from the business trip 2 days ago. I'm glad he's home, no more home alone with my sister and no need for me to drive to office by myself since it's still flooding. Even though, the rain stop for days. After one week massive flood, Houston slowly recovering and rebuilding from flood damages. Yesterday morning, we took almost an hour to get to the office. Dang, the traffics were terribly busy! It's going to be like this more than a week (I think) because some places are still flooded. The Eldridge Parkway that I usually use to go office also closed.

It didn't move at all. Thanks to Waze app, we get rid of traffic, it brought us to the neighborhood driveway. And we saw lots of flood damages there. 

Damage household item in front of a home. They cleaned up their homes, tears out board, sheetrock, remove the soaked carpet. It's a shame! A lot of people lost their home, property damages, and become homeless.

But it such a great feeling that the power and solidarity of Houstonians community, coming out to together to help each other's out. Regular people left the comfort of their home to help others in a time of need.

Hopefully,  the city gets back to normal in a couple more days.

FOOD REVIEW | Korean Foods

Before the flash flood strike, I went to the Asian Market (H Mart Korean Market) with my sister to get something for our tummy. I'm so lazy to drive that time and it's going to rain soon but  my sister been craving Korean food for days. It's quite far from our house, 20 - 30 minutes drive.

Inside the H-Mart, there are several places that serve variety of hot bowl dishes and soups that come to either rice or noodle. Out of all the restaurants in H-Mart, I frequently order at Bibijo Express. This place known for their hot stone bowl soups. There is a variety soup available but my favorite is the Korean beef tofu soup. I ordered Hot Stone Grilled Bulgogi instead that day.

Around 5 minutes wait for my dish and it was so hot, I have to wait 2 or 3 minutes. Kidding, I didn't wait for it to cool down and I just eat it right away because I'm so damn hungry. Because of that, I burned my tongue xD The price range around $8-$10, can't beat that!

Two days after that day, I went to 99 Ranch Market with my Aunty and her husband and my sister for grocery. Other place for Korean Food! I may not a fan of K-Pop or whatsoever, but I'm a fan of their foods. So yum! This time, we choose Yori-Yori restaurant.

I ordered Korean Hot Stone Bowl Bibimbap. And again I burned my tongue because I'm so into it and forgot it is hot xD (Makan sampai licin)

Ps : Dang, I'm hungry and craving for this now!

Historic Flashflood Houston

Some of my friends told me that Malaysia is currently burning hot, 30 - 35 degrees Celsius is it? Well, while in Houston is in the midst of an unbelievable deluge since Sunday evening. It started to rain on Sunday evening after I'm home from Asian Market. At first, I did not expect that the weather gets worse because I thought it's just a normal heavy rain.
