Hey Nassie.

Elusive. Tried to be online just now but there was a electricity shut down excersie [buat aper tah]. Dang. I guess in that period you dropped by. Looking forward to an online chat. 92968770

Oliver's twist. 1130 am Weekdays. Jamie oliver's cooking style is informal and simple. He brings hipness into cooking. In the show you would see him running around the kitchen grabbing ingredients from different places while most cook shows already have the ingredients laid out proportionally to their use in small dishes. [Well most cook shows are boring.] Even though mint leafs and rosemary are rare herbs in asian kitchens, they still are easily available unlike thing like truffles and thoese expensive things. I wanna get kitchen like his so i can run around all day maybe just to cook an egg. [also i can act like i have my own cooking show] End product of the dishes [though simple] are very appetizing. Heh. Chemistry is best if it happens in the kitchen. [I enjoy chemistry btw. And biology for that matter.]
After the great show comes the disaster asian[oriental] style. [They say all good things come to an end.] Martin Yan' Chinatown. Stupid show. Martin Yan talks nonsense most of the time. His english spins around cliched lines like
"Awww this is so beautiful" "Look at this, isnt it wonderful" in his chinese accent. More disturbing is his need to say what he is doing repeatedly. Like eg his silcing a vegetable and so he goes: "And you slice it like this and you slice, slice, slice, slice. Also his cooking is very "templatised". Salt, Pepper, osyter sauce, fish sauce, soy sauce, rice wine, broth and corn starch soulution. All that for all the dishes. So to have a Martin Yan dish just chop a few "colour contrasting" vegetables [thats the way he puts it] meat of you choice and the above seasoning. [Tada!] Viewers probably can skip the show to cook his kind of dishes. I guess his only highlight for all the past shows would be when he adds wine to the hot pan and it goes all flammbe. His culinary skills are awesome but tak selera ah tengok apa dier dah masak.
From here i learn to critise and shun my mom's cooking. Wahaha..but i still eat it though. Thankfully she at least bother to cook. haha. Then there's leftover day and instant food day. Sigh. heh.

My Pahlawan Putih T-shirt is ready. I think it's nice arh but now ashamed to wear it in public. hehehe. I think i'll still wear it anyways. $20. Probably wont be working for a long time. hehe. Everytime i flip to the Recruit section my back becomes lembek. The symptoms of sloth. Imagining the job itself and the hours i have to work paralyses my limbs. [Well maybe a wee too exalted]

Failed to blog earlier since i didnt sadar hari Jumaat. There's just something bout being in a mosque. It's very peaceful and there'd be a blanket of security wrapped around you. And if you really get in to the zone, the worries that have encrusted in your mind just melt away. Ah...

Peeple of zee wurl, Relax. Hehe..
