Hi , Ming Yue.

Much has changed since we left high school, leaving behind those unforgettable experiences which I don't have to mention. Although I don't share your musical talent, I always wish I did share this talent just so we could ber-bond-ing more like how we were in high school. Unlucky for me genies don't exist, except in the world of Agrabah where they're big and blue in colour. But we do have one thing common and that is our MINDZZ Ming Yue , our MINDZZ. People are going to read this post and think "What the camel piss?!" am I talking about, but you know Ming Yue and thats the whole point. You and I have changed a whole lot but in the end you just gotta remember one thing which is, how many A's did you get for your UPSR. Take
care big man.

Realization.

Been awhile since I posted anything new, only reason I can think off is that nothing interesting has been going on lately. This post is named as such because I have just came to realize how far my little group of high school friends and I have come since high school. Our big boy Au Yeong Khai Weng has already attended his first prom and has very much matured compared to when I first met him, good job Khai Weng. Another reason would be when Saiful , Nicholas , Soo Yang and myself had dinner, surprisingly we had the most complex conversation we ever had since forever. Noting ridiculous and funny, finally something relevant and productive. Time sure flbut I hope and pray that as it goes by this little group of friends goes along with it.

Taiwanese Desserts & How Girls Just Love em.

What you see here is a taiwanese dessert bar which is apparently very , VERY popular. I was told about this place always being full and by golly was it full alright. Curious to know whats so intriguing about its desserts I went in and got myself their 'Best Seller'. As seen in the picture below it consists of grass jelly(cincau) flavoured ice as the base , covered with a thin layer of grass jelly and topped off with yam flavoured glutinous pieces with a drizzle of sugar syrup and creamer for added sweetness.

Now what really confuses me is , HOW! does this simple dessert reached this status of popularity because honestly to me it doesn't taste all that great. Was really expecting a WOW factor from it since its so popular, had to literally queue up from outside the shop to get one. I mean its so popular there was this one girl who was already on her second 'Get 10 Stamps & Get 1 Free' card. Not to mention this cost me RM6 a bowl. I think every guy should just pamper their girlfriends with this to have a solid and well sustained relationship. Every girl loves a good bowl of icy goodness. Its a fact.

Bangkok Wasabe.

Bangkok Wasabe located at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara is what you get when style meets Thai street food. I consider this as one of my favourite restaurants because of its simplicity , all round good service and of course the food. The dishes that really make you want to go back for more(from my opinion) would be the very classic green mango salad with dried shrimp, deep-fried garoupa with Thai chilli sauce, pandan chicken, stir-fried baby kai lan with salted fish and finally for dessert mango sticky rice.

Many other dishes offered are great tasting , for example the Seafood Tomyam soup & green curry with aubergine. Great place to dine for small family dinners and also for those who appreciate great tasting food. Enjoy.

Dinner at Fullhouse Restaurant.

For those who may not know what Fullhouse is, the picture above may give you a slight description. It is a restaurant with a very elegant design, very "English-doll house-sy" feeling to it. Few times dining at this restaurant it still never fails to impress me with its dishes. Not only does it taste good , but the chefs here take presentation into concern which I find very professional. This time round I ordered the "Oven Roasted Chicken Parcel" which is a chicken breast stuffed with finely diced mushrooms served with sautéed tournée daikon(radish), a generous swirl of mashed potato, dressed with a chinese red date brown sauce and finally garnished with orange zest & a fresh stick of rosemary. Here are some pictures ;

Not only does it look good , but it tasted good as well. What was really interesting about this dish was the chinese red date brown sauce, it had a well balanced mixture of sweetness and bitterness which blended well with the chicken breast and the smooth mashed potatoes. Although the daikon wasn't sautéed long enough I still really enjoyed this dish, I give it a 8/10. A must try.

Who loses their 3 year old son?!?!

Before I touch on what the title says I would first like to share with you my overwhelming dislike towards English Classes, today we learnt how to construct an essay starting from the "Introduction" to the "Body Paragraphs" and finally the "Conclusion". This is basically a recap of what we've learnt back in Form 1, at this point in time I judge every 18 year old would know how to write/construct a proper essay. Just saying.
Now back to topic, happily having dinner in IKANO an ann
ouncement was made, "whoever has lost their 3 year old son please come and collect him from the information counter". Irresponsible parents much?
With that I leave you with this comic strip. Enjoy.

The Day We Suit-ed Up.

As many may know 13th October 2010 was International Suit Up Day, and its all thanks to one legen- wait for it -dary man or even character Barney Stinson from the hit comedy series "How I Met Your Mother". Barney played by Neil Patrick Harris brings a whole new revolution of comedy into our world with his crazy quotes and his awesome attitude of always being awesome. Many followers of this comedy series decided to suit up on this day and oh-boy did many people suit up, shows what the media can do to you nowadays. Really makes me wonder how season 6 is going to be like, can't wait. I end this post with a quote from the legendary man himself , "When I'm sick, I stop being sick and be awesome instead".

An empty Restaurant isn't fun, really.

Every Tuesday I have Cuisine Operations & Restaurant Operations, this is where we learn the basics on running out own establishment. In Cuisine Operations were at the back , a.k.a the kitchen and in Restaurant Operations the dining area of the restaurant where we serve guests. The past few classes we've been having a fully booked restaurant at a maximum of 50pax. BUT! today we had only 13pax along with 13 servers and this is the start of mayhem. Only a total of 5 were chosen to serve the guests while the others stayed behind chill , literally chill. Time was wasted and sleep was obtained. At first it may seem that having fewer guests was a real joy , shorter preparation time , and less work needed to be done, but after experiencing it all it was the total opposite of what I expected.

sleep is good, and you know it.

New Day , Term & Blog.

It is 12:30am and here I am putting the finishing touches on this blog of mine which somewhat still feels imperfect. As it says in the title Term 3 has begun which opens up a whole new range of subjects like English (its compulsory) and Oenology which is the science and study of all aspects of wines, interesting much. It hit me like a purple-back gorilla that i'm already halfway through my course, time sure flies. Finally getting a comfy study chair is surely one of the highlights of today, not to mention the AMAZINGLY delicious , smooth and milky vanilla ice-cream of IKEA along with the dirt cheap curry-puffs. Overall a good day , can't wait to see whats in store for tomorrow.
