Droplets in the ocean

People are going places and doing things.

When is it my turn?

When will my life begin?

So many questions unanswered.

Where is she? How does she look like?

Who is she..?

Time shall answer all questions. All my questions.

Time I have until the ripples fade away.

TOP 5 MOST HATED FOOD

I love food, but at the same time there are some yuckies I can't stomach. Like they old folks say, "One man's meat is another man's poison"

5. ABALONE

 yucks

 Really? Abalones, really? This particular ocean catch baffles me. It tastes like chewing gum, chews like chewing gum and really there's nothing good about it. It tastes bland, looks like an oversized eraser, way overpriced and qualifies to be in this list for sure. Epic Meal Time ain't got business with this homie.

4. BITTER GOURD

 I'll take the beef kthxbye

No doubt this green meanie will make it here. The old folks argue that it's good for your skin, makes your complexion better, improves this bla bla bla. Not for me, I ain't buying that. If it tastes bad and I have a choice not to take it, no way it's going into my mouth. Usually it's cooked with EGGS. Why why why must you tarnish the sunny awesomeness of the eggs!

3. YELLOW NOODLES

"braainss"

Many may argue that these golden strands of gluttony are an Asian delicacy but to the haters like me, we just keep hatin'. The ginormous amounts of boric acid in these little goldilocks spell a quick trip to the hospital for you fans out there. For some reason they taste horrible to me. The very moment I start chewing is also the very moment that calls for the bucket. So don't shove this into my mouth.

 

see?

2. DURIAN

I'm not going to repeat myself. I said no..

Haters keep hatin' and I'm one of them. Call me anti-Malaysian, ang moh, white man, whatever! I'm not going to try this local specialty...for the 100th time. My family has been trying to get me hooked onto the king of fruits for ages. They must have thought their child came from storks or down the chimney when I told them durians taste terrible. Apart from that, the stench they release smells to the high heavens plus they can potentially send you there! Caution, don't ever try getting me to eat these.

5. COCKLES AKA SEA HAM

  stay in there, don't come out

I really have no idea how this monstrosity came into the list of edible sea creatures. The very existence of the dark depths of the ocean is meant for stuff like this! Humanity, or a part of it, could very well do without them. I can't possibly think of biting into one of these. Tried it ONCE and from then on, completely gave up for the rest of my entire life. Yes, it only took me one try to impose a total ban on this. The worst part is that they cook it with Char Koay Teow. No words can describe how much I detest eating them. Yeaps, haters keep hatin'.

Great food, great people

Had some wonderful makan outings recently. Christine and I headed over to Carl's J for lunch last Friday in celebration of my results heh. We couldn't resist snacking on some good ice cream after lunch at New Zealand Naturals!

 walnut something, hokey pokey and cookies 'n cream

candid!

Yesterday my family took me out to yet another great eatery down at PJ. Boathouse is a cafe-cum-restaurant which serves up some delicious western and eastern delights. The chef is a single unmarried woman. Take note guys.

 

the talented chef, playing fruit ninja and getting a low score. how ironic

 yes people, this place is decked with alcohol and booze

 the bar counter is actually an aquarium with fishes swimmin' inside!

 In order to prevent unnecessary drooling and seizures I've decided not to take pictures of the food we ordered. You could say I conveniently forgot. In plain words, we ordered a beef tenderloin, chilli-baked chicken wings, mint-olive salmon fillets, glazed pork ribs, salmon pasta, cempedak chicken yes, cempedak chicken and mushroom soup for the soul. A great dinner no doubt.

Ooh, I drew a rainbow. With my highlighters!

"double rainbow all the way across the sky, yeah yeaaah so intense!"

So you readers, tell me what's the next TOP 5 that I should write about. Leave your comments or tell me in the cbox!

VICTOREH!

I couldn't sleep the entire night. From 1am to 2 I was pacing up and down the hall, wondering what the outcome might be. I tried to psych myself to sleep, telling me it'll be alright. Somehow my subconscious didn't allow me to blot out my negative thoughts. Up till 7am I waited for the candidate site to be open. Alas at the moment of reckoning, the Internet failed me and I could not proceed to view my results. After catching 40 winks and skipping my Accounts class I strode on to college and someone shouted CONGRATULATIONS and I was like whuutt?
Yes, you couldn't be more right. I scored well for my exams. Praise the Lord for it! 3A's with 95 for Accounts, 91 for Math and 88 for Econs was really a relief to my thumping heart. Indeed I am grateful to all those who lent me their support and help during my studies and trials. Well..I guess all that's left to say is..

:D

Wife on holiday

I won't be blogging too often now. For those of you who know why, well you'd understand. My beloved wife has taken leave for a few months so I'm all alone here in college. Will return after my A2 exam ending in November!

Quote of the day

Heard something that pricked me deeper today.

Ms See: Class, turn to page 461, page 461. I will guide you.

Sometimes we forget the people who led us by the hand. We take for granted those who taught us how to walk, run and now fly. Remember it is because of them that today, we stand triumphant against unnumbered foes.

The diamond in the rough

There comes a time in every man's life where he ventures out of his messy room and gaming sanctuary in search of his one true love. Searching for the diamond in the rough can be as tough as picking out that needle out of the haystack. Asian families have a peculiar culture of putting pressure on their kids once they've reached the age of "maturity" and the Lee bunch from good ol' Melaka is no exception. Seeing what my 33-year old, single and available uncle and other elder cousins goes through every CNY, it's time to brave the torrents of "eh mana girlfriend? tak bawak??" and "zhang da liao lo, ni peng you le?". Not to say I've embarked on my quest for the special one, but maybe it's about time I give some thought to it eh?

'Cause nobody wants to be the last one thereAnd everyone wants to feel like someone caresSomeone to love with my life in their handsThere's gotta be somebody for me like that
