Entourage

I often wonder what would everyone think of entourage? Good? Bad? Hassle? I have a quite interesting story that I just need to write it down. I found it rather amusing.

Yesterday late evening as I was driving home from work, suddenly I heard the rider's siren from behind. That was along the KL-Seremban highway. You know how busy that highway is all the time. And then the rider kept telling all the drivers who are on the 3rd lane to move to the 1st lane. And there's this Myvi who was on the 3rd lane trying to move into the 1st lane but somehow couldn't make it through. So the uncle kept driving on the 2nd lane. 1 by 1 of the rider kept signalling for the uncle to move out from the 2nd lane but he somehow didn't budge. 2nd entourage came and the uncle was still in the 2nd lane. It's either he did not understand the signal or he just couldn't be bothered. I mean we paid for the roadtax as well, why should I bow down at you. Who the hell do you think you are? The Sultan? If it was the Sultan, I would understand that I need to clear off the road. But if you're just a commoner like me, why would I even bother?

So the uncle stayed on the 2nd lane until 3 entourages passed by then only he moved over. I was driving on the 1st lane all the time looked at the uncle and was really amused by how he stayed on the 2nd lane and he was the ONLY car on the 2nd lane. All the other cars has already moved to the 1st lane. Whoever you are uncle, I really salute you.

You know, I've been staying in a house which faces the highway, everyday I would see entourage passed by. And imagine this. The queue at the toll plaza was super long and then suddenly along came the rider and the entourage cutting all the queues. Wonder how would the rest of the drivers feel? I know how I would feel.

Old time favourite - Flerk

The last time I had this was ........ I lost count but it has been a while. Some might find eating worms a sadistic habit but I grew up eating this. I remember when I was a little girl, my late babeh would go and chop down the sago tree to look for this yummies. And I must tell you this. These worms doesn't come everyday. They normally have a season for this.

Way of cooking ... you may barbeque this, you may stir fry it. Up to you how you wish to cook it. My old time favourite way ... barbeque it. I used to play with it before babeh end their lives. These worms can bite, mind you. Oh...did I say that it contains lots of fats. I mean LOTS of fats. I remember I ate these worms too much until I vomitted during the night.

One more thing you should know about this....these worms doesn't come cheap. The last time I saw it in Sunday Market, they sold it like 20cents for each worm. That was years ago. So right now, expect some increase in the price.

Whatever people say about this worms, sadistic habit or not, I'm proud to say that I grew up eating local delicacies as this. Even brother dearest doesn't get the chance to eat it. This kind of food will soon be forgotten because what I heard right now, there are less sago tree being planted. Either that, or people don't know how to eat it.

Kedei Miak Sarawak

Yesterday as I was sitting and lazying around the living room watching TV and blogging and twittering, I suddenly thought of something. Since Sharon asked me to think of a business plan and I really missed my favourite local Sarawak food, I was thinking why not the both of us open up a cafe and serve authentic Sarawak food. Besides, the Sarawak food here in KL are really overpriced. What we want is a reasonably priced and cosy environment. Maybe if this goes all well, then we make it into a restaurant.

Menu... we'll be serving everything local from the infamous Laksa to ayam pansoh to 'Ikan masak terong asam' to local desert, my old time favourite Kuih Selorot.

Cook... the both of us need to look for someone who can really cook without losing the authenticity of the food.

Well...that is all just a plan. Hopefully it will come through.

Donate a Kidney .... Save a Life

I must write about this. It's a true and compelling story about an old friend from school.

Last month when I had a small gathering with Joyce, Sharon, Remy and Lina, I was shock when I heard what happened to one of our friends. I was told that she has kidney failure. Both kidneys. And now, she has to go for dialysis to get her kidney cleaned up. Imagine, she's only 31 and she had to suffer so much.

Therefore, I'm appealing to anyone and everyone out there, please do your part to save a life. Donate a kidney ... save a life.




Dewi, I hope it's not too late for me to say I hope you get well soon. My prayers are with you, my friend.

Great song for a great movie

Linkin Park is back with their new song for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Awesome song. Awesome group. Awesome music video. I heard the whole album already and it was awesome as well. But I'd like to share the theme song. Linkin Park ROCKS!!

No Boundaries - Who's version is better

Now that American Idol is finally over. But still people are still fussing about who should be the winner. I personally don't really care much who is the winner. What I do care is the winning song. Who sings the winning song better? Adam Lambert or Kris Allen? Personally, I think that song was made for Adam's voice. Kris's voice didn't really reach the high notes. Perhaps Kara wrote that song base on Adam's voice. I don't know. I only know that I like Adam's version. So...enjoy...

Song I'm listening to right now

I'm really into Daughtry's new song right now. I think his new album is really awesome. Oh.. to those who share the same opinion as I am, please vote for them on VH1. Til then ... xoxo

This is Me

Thailand food that anyone must NOT miss whenever they go there:

1) Mango with sticky rice - It's glutinous rice with coconut milk poured on top of it and served with sweet mango.

2) Green curry - The curry is not as green as the name. Try it. The taste is authentic.

3) Pandan Chicken - Marinated chicken chunks wrapped up in pandan leaves and then fry.

4) Tom Yum Kung - MUST try this. The taste...ORIGINAL (hot and sour blend really really nice)

5) Som Tum - Another MUST try especially those who never had papaya salad.

6) Pad Thai - Thai style 'Char Kueh Tiaw'. Just have to try it out

 

* Recommendation is based on my opinion.

I support SPCA

Let us all hand in hand give our furry friends a better home. Never abuse them coz they are also God's greatest creation like us.

Help to Save Life

Let us all help those who need it, shall we?

Plans to celebrate my 31st birthday

Next month, I'll turn 31. I was thinking of making it a memorable one. Something I always wanted to do. Something different. I was thinking of celebrating in Bangkok. Take a few days off and just kick back and relax, eat delicious exotic Thailand food. What do you think? Cool? Awesome?

Summer Blockbuster 2009

Summer is the time when all the long awaited movie comes out. I had a chance to watch Angels and Demons a day after the opening and I have to admit that the movie made me feel tired. Tired as in the movie moves too fast. Chasing and chasing and chasing. But I can say that the movie deserves a thumbs up. I simply love the location . Vatican City and around Rome. I can only wish I could go there one day. And the churches ... they are really breathtakingly magnificent.

Another movie I'm looking forward to, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. I remember I used to skip any co-curricular activity on Saturday morning just to watch Transformers on TV when I was a kid. Back then, cartoons looks so much better. And then when suddenly Hollywood decided to do a movie out of it, everyone waited with anticipation. When the 1st movie came out, every single guy were drooling over Megan Fox (as expected). Moviewise, superb. Now that the 2nd movie is coming out, again everyone is waiting for anticipation. I watched the trailer over and over again (thanks to Youtube) and the more I watch it, the more excited I become.



One more movie I'm really really looking forward to .... G.I. Joe. I mean....G.I. Joe...the G.I. Joe. Another favourite cartoon when I was little. Can't wait for August when it's due to come out.

Introduction

The last time I had a blog, it was a ...how should I call it? A failure? Until recently, cousin dearest started his brand new blog made me suddenly had the urge to write again. It's been a while since I last write. Not sure if I still have the 'golden touch' again. But hell...let's give it another try, shall we?

Let's talk about everything under the sun, under the moon, under the rain, under the haze .... anything. From things I truly love, things I truly hate ... anything and everything. So, let's start talking ...
