I am going home...

Yesss... Today is the day! I am going back to my lovely hometown. I am packing my stuff now. Will catch my flight in the afternoon. I feel happy and relieved. I am happy because I can go for a long holiday, enjoy the foods and meeting with my frens n family. It will be a wonderful time over there. I relieved because I am getting better from the Flu. I can't wait to see my fiancee too.

My post will be very short today as I need more time to pack up my things... hahaha. One thing for sure, I will be enjoying lots and lots of beers as I have several events to attend. Wedding events for sure, and some outings as well. So, who cares.... I am not working anyway :)

One nice facts I read from the magazine (Menhealth). We always think that beer gives us belly. But the fact is:

1. When  we drink alcohol, liver stop using fatty acids for  fuel and switches to using alcohol instead.

2. So, it leaves the fatty acids it should have been using to be stored in adipose tissue.

3. Eventually, beer belly is formed.

Thank you, and have a great day! (THE END)

Fried Chicken

After 2 months of successful cookings, yesterday I decided to try something new. I put an oyster and tomato sauce before frying my chicken..... some kind of marinating laa.....

Then this is the yummy result. Sorry the picture is a bit blurr:

I Dont Know

I had been busy lately. I mean in the office; as there are a lot of things to do. Anyhow I enjoyed doing it, as it is not boring. Relationship has improved as I gained more respect and responsibility than before. Thanks to God for answering my prayer….. and thanks to my ex-company, for the precious knowledge they had given me. It’s really worth it.

I’d finish downloading Prison Break E21 & E22. Thanks to Mr Well, for such a resourceful blog. I am gonna watch it tonight after taking my medication. I transferred money into my ASB account through Maybank2u. But I am not sure whether it goes through or not. So, I tried for a small amount first. Need to update my account especially the correspondence address which is still written USM Transkerian as the current record.

Yesterday my friend sent me an email which contains a picture of a kind of food which I used to eat during my childhood as what people say can cure sinusitis or Resdung ka??? It’s a pig nose (Hidung babi). I forgot to save the picture but it seems very delicious. Hehehehe

Well, talking about swine flu, eating the SWINE actually does not make you get the flu. I read about this before, but still some people seem to be misunderstood. See the Sabah Government banned for pork import. But, it’s ok. Sabah does not need imported pork. They have enough on their own; be it a city swine or a jungle swine (New Term)….. hehehe. But I love both.

Ayam

Baru-baru ini kita dikejutkan dengan kenaikkan harga ayam secara mendadak yg dikaitkan dengan penularan virus H1N1. Namun begitu, kita sedia maklum bahawa kenaikkan mendadak seperti ini sudah lama berlaku di Negara kita, tidak kiralah virus apa yang melanda.

Berbalik kepada kenaikkan harga ayam tadi, maka justeru itu, dicadangkan oleh badan kerajaan supaya stok penimbal ayam diwujudkan bagi menstabilkan harga ternakan itu di pasaran. Langkah2 seperti ini dicadangkan memandangkan wujudnya persatuan-persatuan berkaitan yang nampaknya enggan menurunkan harga ayam dan ingin mengambil kesempatan daripada penularan wabak H1N1 ini. Kita tunggu apa kata mereka jika wabak Selsema Ayam berlaku.

Maka kerajaan telah mengenalkan langkah untuk membuka semula AP ayam agar harga makanan ini dapat distabilkan oleh kerajaan dan juga berdasarkan stok penimbal tadi. Semua ini adalah disebabkan gara-gara penternak ayam yg terlalu berdegil untuk menaikkan harga ayam mereka. Mereka engkar arahan kementerian untuk menurunkan harga ayam ke paras yg sepatutnya.

Jika saya yg memegang portfolio Kementerian Pertanian dan Asas Tani, saya kira saya akan laksanakan projek ternakan ayam moden secara besar besaran yang dikendalikan oleh kerajaan di Pulau Pinang, Selangor, Johor, Sabah dan Sarawak. Ternakan ayam ini akan menghasilkan ayam yg memenuhi keperluan 65% penduduk Malaysia, justeru itu akan memonopoli pasaran ayam.

Jika kerajaan sudah memonopoli pasaran ayam ini, sudah tentu mereka dapat menetapkan sendiri harga barangan makanan yg sangat popular ini tanpa bergantung kepada penternak yg degil. Maka, dalam masa yg sama, penternak ayam seluruh Negara juga terpaksa mengikut harga jualan ayam kerajaan, kerana jika tidak, tiada sesiapa yg mahu membeli ayam mereka. Susah sangatkah ini? Bukankah reserved Negara masih ada 300 billion? Ambiklah sikit untuk kebaikkan rakyat yg suka makan ayam.

Durian

On my way back home from work, I always peek into a durian stall at the roadside. I keep wondering when I want to stop by and buy one or two of it. Eventually last Wednesday I managed to drop by and bought only one. Why? It cost RM 10/pc. But it tasted good and I plan to buy another one tomorrow. Hopefully they are open as I am crazy for durian lately.

Anyhow, is that price normal?????

It's Friday.....

Today is Friday. I remembered very well, when I woke up from bed, that today I should avoid eating meat. I remembered it very well. Upon reaching my company, once again I told myself, that during breakfast, don’t pick up meat. I parked my car, and punch in and put my notebook in place and straightaway go to the canteen.

I took fried rice in small portion, put some curry and had a half-cup of coffee. When I reached to the payment counter, it’s just so strange to see me eating fried rice with curry without egg or sausage.

I don’t know why during that moment of thinking; I really think that egg is bored. I don’t realize that my hand automatically picks up the chicken sausage… and ate it more than half without realizing that I should not eat any meat today….

My friend laughed at me when I said….. “I thought sausage is made from egg”.

A Lone Ranger Trip

First of All, I would like to take this chance to say Happy New Year to everybody. Guess all of you have great holidays and are well prepared to come back to work next week. I am not looking forward to go to work anyway.

I guess the first day of New Year was not a good start for me to have this kind of ‘feel good’ feeling. Though most of the previous days I really enjoy many things, but when life full of thrill suddenly change to nothing to do, it feels like the world has stop turning.

So due to great boredom (yesterday), I decided to go to Ranau. That was a sudden decision anyway, as earlier I only planned to drive around and enjoy the beautiful and peaceful scenery along the road. Anyway, after a series of SMSes with my friend, Carl, I decided to go to his place in Ranau. He promised to bring me around (Earlier he said mandi air panas Poring). Whatever it is, as long as I can kill this boredom, it doesn’t matter.

So, I left around 5:00 pm, in a broad day light. You can see the mountain Kinabalu at the back. I light up my cigarette and enjoyed the smoke.

Start going uphill.

Sunset1 gradually take place

Hutan Rimba yg Anggun




An old lady carrying a 'wakid' at her back. Almost hit her as my eyes stick on my camera screen.




At this level, the air is cool.



Beautiful Sunset2.

In a sudden, everything started to change. Everywhere getting dark & darker. It was just 5:30 pm i think. A deep fog is coming.

It's not a big deal. I still can see.

But, suddenly it seems that the fog is getting thicker ahead.

I kept going. Temperature getting lower. I was shivering eventhough i didn't put the A/C on.

I told myself..... "It's getting worse"

I put my lights on..... I can hardly see the car infront of me.

And this is the worst. But, I continued driving.

That's it.....

Ni gambar sampingan.

Arrived at Ranau town around 6:30pm. My friend came to fetch me shortly, and he drove off to his house while deciding what to do next. I suggested going to Poring Hot Spring directly and have something to eat there and drink whiskey in the hot water. He said the food there is not that nice and less variety. He suggested going Kundasang since the foods are better and as he tried to group some friends to visit the nearby club. We were suggesting an opposite direction to go!!

As we stopped at the intersection to make a final decision, finally I agree with his plan. But in the end, we only had dinner as I didn’t bring extra clothing for clubbing. After all, makan is the most imortant thing and to be prioritize. Nothing can justify the need of eating.

After dinner, a thing which was never in our planning came. And that how we spend the rest of the night. I never played before, but i got 'on the job training' from the PRO, and straight away gambling. I ended up losing RM3. Consider good for beginner.

Excuse & Life

I realized that I should have fully utilized my camera phone for any purpose. So, while having my usual dinner out this weekend, I managed to take some pictures of the dishes. This weekend theme is Vietnam Kitchen (1 Utama) & Codo (MidValley).

I could not remember what exactly they called all these. They got fancy pronounciation. I just mentioned the number when ordering.

It's worth to try. And tomorrow I will start eating instant mee again.
