Went to Pasar Ramadhan with Zawani the other day. Hmm. She said that I bought more than those who puasa did. I think it is just me with a lot of weird food.

Look at the color and varieties!

I bought this drink called Katira and Tembikai susu. You gotta try it to know how it taste like. And bought a pack of kuey teow kerang, 1 piece of yummy ayam percik and a packet of nasi lemak, AND 1 ringgit of roti bomb.

All and all cost me less than 10 bucks. And I was a big fat man after that.

And later on at night, not wanting to waste my weekend night sleeping it away, Ijah called and ask for a night out. Lepak for some 1 hour in that malay store near Hang Tuah with lotsa bikers and mat rempits, den spontaneously pass by the fun fair and simply got down to have a look.

Both of us are very very bad with this stupid game. Only manage to get some key chains.

And she got all excited entertaining those fellas there, betting with them who would be a better… ball roller?

Feeling lucky?

I went home around 2.30am that night. LOL.

Cyrena came for a short visit. I think this time I did a better job in bringing her around, tasting things which I think taste good.

However, we were too obsessed with eating so there aren’t much photography. And these are some of the ones that we took, in a lazy kind of way.

It is not hard to guess the place. The touristy Jonker 88.

I hope there are more shops to come, which serve good food and stuffs, so that I wouldn’t be too bored tasting the same thing over and over again. Hehe.

Don’t know whether I wrote that hochiak correctly or not.

Anyway.

Real time update:

I got my SPA surat perlantikan yesterday. And this morning I finished up with my Surat Akuan Sumpah at the court today. Actually this is the second time I’m there. First time there was to accompany Pei Tong to sumpah to become a dedicated Pharmacist. This time my turn to go alone to sumpah as a good government servant. LOL.

Later on went to Kluang Clinic to do my medical check-up. Kena bully because I’m a future doc. They said next time when i work that time don’t push the patients to them wor. I don’t know what that means but I think I better try not to do something of that kind.

Back to blogging:

Penang food! (All these happened almost few weeks ago).

Clarissa father brought all of us all the way to Tambun for some very famous and fresh seafood.

Prawns. Tak tau apa prawns.

Don’t know what is this but involved a lot of korek-ing, digging, and picking.

A picture of the boss. Thank you very much for the feast. I ate non-stop.

Well, for those who knows me, I don’t eat a lot but when I eat, I can eat very long, thus end up with a lot also. But in the slow fashion.

The other day the dinner was at this nice seaside hawker center.

Thomas with weird pose.

Harwin buat buat macho.

Nice or not?

And the food…

O-chiennnnn

You know what is this lah..

Mee Jawa.

Ok, kinda lazy with food pics. I’m not good with it. Let me research more and start to take nicer pics first. Totally fail in food photography lah.

Anyway, hopefully you guys are entertained. I think my blog readership falling down. Don’t know what to do, so give you all some food pics first. Till next update!

Going KL again.. =)

Paint ball session. Well, if you scroll down for the previous post, yes, that’s the aftermath of bullying juniors. LOL. Actually they were left by those cruel fellas that shoot at a really near distance (1-3 meters) when I remember last time they use to tell us that we could only shoot at the range of 5 meters. This bunch of fellas like to play it the hardcore way, be it guys or girls.

All of us who are in the game.

The war zone.

We had BBQ and picnic session after that at some good spot near the war zone actually.

Picnic scene.

The chicken was really good. Thanks to the spices. I think my shoes still have some of them on. Lazy to wipe them. Argh…

I like this pic. It actually shows that I did something useful. Muahaha.

Got this pic while 3 of them were enjoying the view.

The Volgo Eye. LOL. Wonder what kind of picture I could get if I’m up there.

Woke up in the morning to go to hostel for Wesak day celebration. Prepared a short history talked on the Prince but I think it was a bit too long. Haha. I hope I did an okay job. Later on lepak a while in the hostel and went home.

Wrote names on the candles.

Later on proceeded to Highway cafe for lunch.

Do I look like I’m memorizing the menu?

Obviously this look like a burger but the restaurant decided to call this a ’sandwich’.

The girls and the food.

After that we did some shopping which end up with me buying nothing. Don’t get me wrong, nothing is good. Haha. I was practically too full and stone thru out the whole process. After that I went to hostel to collect halal chicken for tomorrow’s bbq. LOL. Lots of food and activities nowadays. Got home, napped (too tired) and woke up at 9pm for MUTTON BRIANI prepared by C&C.

Forgot to take picture of my puddings. Haha. Dinner was accompanied by victory day’s firework outside my kitchen window.

The yellow, green and reds.

The blue looks like some electricity shots. The beauty of slow shutter speed. I wanna get a DSLR!!! The angel is not really good as there are trees outside preventing me from taking the full blown firework but at least I can enjoy the vibration, sound and lights, which is a lot better than those living far away from the river bank.

Tiring day. More holiday updates coming up!

Nope not neurology. Nope not nero burning tools. Is cafe Nero. What a name.

It opened for quite some time already, not far away from my house and this is the first time I went in. And it was a spontaneous decision.

Went with Clarissa Aw.

Not bad huh the environment?

Business lunch from 12:00 to 16:00, 159 rubs, 3 kinds of combination

1 - Salad + soup
2 - Salad + main dish
3 - Soup + main dish

1 free coffee or tea

You can choose Caeser salad, Greek or some green Primium salad. For the main dish they have pancake with meat, pancake with mushrooms and Panini to choose from.

Cappuccino. Lotsa foam.

The portion is not too big. Just enough for a stomach like mine. Definitely enough to feed girls for sure.

This Greek salad, kinda like the color.

This fella from Moscow told me to get some stuffs from my friend. Well, logically, you would think that it is not really important la, don’t need to be fast as those stuffs that can be ‘pass’ from Moscow to here wouldn’t spoil by time right?

Look at what I get from ShuShien. One kampung punyer brain but I think I certainly wouldn’t be that crazy to pass something like this!

She passed me a bunch of ginger bread man/woman!

One of the victim who is still in good shape.

This fella here is decapitated, lost a pair of legs and the left hand. Slash wound from left to right. Unknown body fragments scattered around him.

Another unharmed victim.

Mr. Luck here lost an arm, and Mr. Pig is decapitated.

All these small ginger bread man/woman. Err.. still got a few. She told me to praise her if I like the taste. Hmmmm.. What should I say?

Black one is nice, got a bit of bitterness in it. Fairer people are kinda okay-okay. Haha. It is quite hard when I get it. It must have been few days or 1 week? If I got food poisoning then I know who to blame. Superb effort lah, seriously damn ridiculous surprise. LOL. Okay laa, go back Kluang I chia you makan k…

FOOD POST AGAIN! If you are hungry now, please scroll down real fast because this time the pictures are real sharp! Thanks to Cherrie’s non trembling hands.

Today’s theme is western food. Fried fish, potatoes, puree and mushroom soup.

Each of us got 1 plate of this.

Just to make you all get a BIT more hungry. Even thou I can’t ‘lou sang’ at home, I still have the ambition to impress my pals back at home. We are eating here as well! But of course, prepared ourselves.

The ‘W’ stands for the chef’s name, Wi aka. my housemate.

Dessert is chocolate fondue on this special small candle pot of Jenna’s.

Fondue with bananasssssss..

Lotsa food coming up. This is holiday, since I’m not going anywhere, I think it is time to gain some weight!

This post is going to be boring, if you have anything better to do, u should probably be on it. Haha.

I woke up real early today. I’m actually very ‘hardworking’ in enjoying my holidays. I spent my first half of the day READING….. reading comics. LOL! And I think I got bored with it already, it is too long winded and it is good that I get over this addiction pretty fast.

And later on I made myself busy in training some songs. Did some cleaning and later on prepared dinner for my housemates and Naj who finished exam today.

And because I’m so boring, I decided to time myself.

5.55pm

Started with preparation of material.

Take out all the food that I’m going to use.

Started cutting and all.

Started cooking

Walaaa, 3 dishes.

Ended at 6.05pm

So I actually needed 1 hour to prepare 3 dishes, 1 deep fry fish, 1 stir fry potatoes and 1 boiled tomyam tofu. Since I’m so free, I think I’m going to find new things to cook. Come to think of it, why I sounded like a girl now. Muahaha. Gargh. My blog is not a food blog, it just happens that food is nice to blog about! Especially when we are the one who prepared them.

Hopefully tomorrow will be more interesting. Holidays shall be utilized to the fullest. Hopefully Wan will come over to record haruka kanata as well. Happy holidays for those who are going Europe! Bring me a lot of souvenirs!

Long post.

Yesterday was quite happening because housemates finished one paper and decided to fill the rest of the day with food (I was suppose to study like hell for my Wednesday’s paper but complied to that as well, state exam man, STATE EXAM!).

Anyway, before I started showing you pizzas, the gas man came to clean up the heater.

Introduction: Half of this town’s hot water supply is centralized. Our house is not one of that half. So, to warm up the water all year long, the houses here use the centralized gas to heat up the water IN THE BATHROOM of the house. This is done by using the heater. Well, it is not electronic, and imagine oil is so expensive, yet Russians are burning natural gas like hell. I thought this thing can’t be reproduced? Anyway, back to the topic, the construction of the heater is pretty simple, a cuprum thing shaped into something identical to the radiator, and a gas structure underneath it to light up a few lines of fire to warm up the water. The water will flow into the Copper pipe above the fire with 3 turnings before coming out from the shower head.

Problem: We see the fire burning with such intensity that we thought it is going to blow up but the water is still cold. (Info given by the gas man - the water flowing out from the pipe is 2 Celsius).

Solve: Ask the gas man to come and clean it. The fire is not burned properly because the pipe that mix the gas with oxygen is stuck with dirt. It resulted in deposition of some blackish material along the ‘radiator-like’ structure’.

Discovery: Part of the Copper thingy up there melted because we keep on increasing the fire (to get hot water) even thou the water is not warmed. Copper melt in 1084 Celsius!!!

This is how the heater looks like.

Put down.

Dismantled. Lower left corner is the Copper radiator thingy, then is a box directing the fire and then up there is the lines of gas (don’t know how to call them -lah).

See, all those blackish stuffs. They are kinda oily, more like carbon, or maybe it is our burned dead skin. LOL.

Washed. Took a lot of time cleaning it! Kachingggg… 900 Rubles to get this thing done. But it is fun to see what is inside the heater for once. Basically people will clean this thing once a year before winter, but we used them 4 years without doing anything. That man is going to bring something to cover up the big hole created by the melted Copper and it will cost another 200 Rubles.

**********************************

Okay, finally, Pizzas.

Hehe.. All 4. From below, I made sambal ikan bilis stuffing, and then is Naj’s tomyam seafood stuffing, and then is Wi’s mushroom white sauce stuffing and finally Claire’s super full eggs with vege stuffing.

My work of art. Before.

After.

Wi’s

Claire’s

Ready to go. (Purposely put so many shots to make you all hungry)

Naj’s pizza. I think it looks pretty hot and sexy. No? (Naj, not talking about you ah)

As expected, the moment I took my 1st bite I already know we can’t finished all of these. Hehe.. Nevermind, breakfast pizza.

Naj is so happy she is pregnant -_-’

Memang lain mentality -lah.
