Eunice Turns One!

Do you guys remember who this is? 

This is baby Eunice and she has just turned 1 year old. She now looks older than a 1 year old child, don’t know what her parents feed her, maybe fertilizer? 

Okay, I meant a Happy fertilizer...

 

Last weekend, I travelled to Ipoh to celebrate her 1 year old birthday. 

It was quite a grand celebration because we actually celebrated in a nice restaurant with red wine. 

So, what has changed in Eunice since my last visit? Her first word was “Mum” but her mum was not really happy about that because Eunice was referring to food (Baby Translation: “Mum mum!” = “I Want Food”).  

Eunice has learnt to walk, so when I met her, at first I kept asking her to come to me; 

but then I got carried away and making more strange request like “roll over” and “sit” ( I thought I was playing with Max). But Eunice not understanding what I meant was scratching her head instead. 

Eunice love taking photo with her mum, because she will naturally smile in front of the camera.... or maybe she thought her mum is her food?

 

It is not wise to make Eunice angry because she knew how to take her revenge, like confiscating my phone. Hopefully, she did not called up my parents and complained about me.

 

Anyway, Happy Birthday Eunice! Wish you grow up healthy and be a pretty lady. J

Is Exposing Your Butt a Trend?

I know exposing butt crack is a trend. It is usually done by those sexy girls, trying to be sexier. It is similar to those wearing low-cut bras. But how do you explain this?

 

She purposely didn’t wear any panty and she purposely let down her pants! Maybe her butt was too hot till she need to cool it down by exposing to the air. Or… maybe she just wanted to fart freely. I really don’t know, but it reminds me of an animal!

Furikake, a Poor Man Food for Japanese

I love Japanese, from the fresh food, cutes girls (is there any Japanese girl out there?), animes to the gadgets. Can’t deny that they are smart peoples! Do you know what is Furikake? It is a dry Japanese condiment meant to be sprinkled on top of rice In other words, it is an instant food sprinkler packed inside a jar. 

It is nutritious because typically consists of a mixture of dried and ground fish, sesame seeds and chopped seaweed.

 

I came to know about this thing when my parents related their trip to Japan. The tour leader explained that during university time, she was poor; so in order to save on the meals, everyday she just took plain rice with Furikake. So, in other words, Furikake + Rice is a poor man’s meal.

 

My parents gave me one jar of Furikake with wasabi. They said that it was expensive. A check at the local supermarket showed that the most expensive one cost RM16. In order to simulate a Japanese poor man’s meal, I went to buy a pack of 1kg Japanese Rice costing me RM13.

 

I love Japanese Rice because it is larger in size and contains more moisture. 

So, here we go, rice with sprinkled Furikake. It makes the rice looks nicer! 

Hey! I tasted nice! It is like eating those instant noodle with those fake food flavoring, but the good thing of Furikake is that it is of real food, just chopped or minced into bits! I guess I will be living my life as poor Japanese for a few weeks! If I could make 10 meals out of this jar then my meal would just cost around RM2.90 each, not bad! I love Japanese!

Max, the Cute Maltese

This is Max, a Maltese. It was a really cute puppy.

 

I got to know it when Dreckker and I was hanging out at Daniel’s new house. 

Just in case you don’t know who are Daniel and Dreckker, they are my best friends since primary school! Daniel is a charming person that is due for delivery; 

whereas Dreckker is a smart person who knows a special technique or style that could handle a dog while I snap the photo below. In short, should I name the style as….

 

Do you know why Daniel name the puppy, Max? Because he was too inspired by the movie Max Payne. I forgot to ask Daniel which one comes first, the dog or the name. Probably Daniel was not expecting his wife to get a toy dog; or maybe he wished Max would one day grow up and save the world.

 

Guess what was Max’s toy? A doll bunny! 

We used it as a toy for Max to play fetch. 

Max is a super active puppy, but sometimes when it is tired; it would just rest under the table while licking or chewing people’s toe. 

However, when it starts to get annoying, we will just need to jail it!

 

Don’t know when will be my next time to visit Max again. L

Drinking with a Jerk

Gee, I’m missing Kuching now. Missing all those drinking session with Dreckker although I sound like a duck and could sing “What a Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong nicely.  Okay, I don’t mean he sounded like a duck, still respect this wonderful singer.



 

Anyway, there was one drinking session where one of my friends joined in. We usually did not mix around with this person, but since I was in Kuching and he sort of wanted to catch up with me, so I too sort of invited him. Then he started to do those silly things:

 

Treating Waitress as a Whore

He might be drunk (without drinking any beer), but he kept asking the pretty waitress named Sharon to strip if she lost her hand when playing cards with us. 

After realizing his ‘nagging’ was unsuccessful, he asked her to kiss me or Dreckker! Come on, she was just a waitress not a whore and we were in a pub not a brothel. Maybe he didn’t realize that he was in a pub; or he had just taken Viagra; or maybe he was too used to going to brothel till he forgot to switch off his ‘horny’ mode. Waitress is a human too! Some were just doing part time for their education fee. They might be smarter than most of us….emmm okay.. I mean some…


Wrong Way to Join in People’s Conversation

I always thought that joining in someone’s conversation would need some skill, like when people were talking about soccer, I should not join in and started talking about volleyball, right? Most importantly, when people referred a world known bank branch manager as a ‘banker’, you should not try to join in and said you were a banker too when you were just a small potato (Bank Assistant aka Credit Card Salesman) in that company!  That was what he did! It was like when a doctor talking to others saying that he worked for a hospital, and you as a Domestic Hygiene Engineer aka Janitor in that building also claimed so!


 

Howling for No Reason

The simple rule in a pub was that no matter how hot the music was, if no one was dancing or getting ‘high’, never attract attention by being the first person howling for no reason. People would thought you had just escaped from the mental institute; or maybe that was where he was hiding all this while… hmm.. By the way, it reminded me of an animal.

 


Friends Are Never Your Customers

I disliked people with hidden intention. When I said wanted to wind down and had a beer, please stick to that. This so called friend of mine, started asking me whether interested in getting credit card from him or not. I just needed to apply then cancel it a few months later. Unless he tried to give me a platinum card free for life, which I would be really thankful, even though there was a sales person offering so. But please, friends are not your customers! Don’t meet them up because you wanted to ‘use’ them for your own benefit! Before that, I had already helped him by promoting his stuff on my blog but sadly, it was not enough for him. L

 

Anyway, not going to ask him out next time. Maybe only to those secluded places.. emm think again for my safety, maybe no. J

Bad Review: Buffet @ The Eatery, Four Point by Sheraton, Kuching

It was supposed to be a nice buffet at The Eatery of Four Points by Sheraton, Kuching. Dreckker told me that it was worth visiting, so we decided to go there on Saturday evening. We made a reservation for 2, but somehow it was not recorded in the computer. 

Later we told the receptionist that we had requested to dine outside, beside the pool for some reason and this triggered the waitress’s memory! Why? Because we were the only 2 idiots that requested to sit outside!

 

Look at the varieties! It seemed to have all!

 

Local Dishes,

 Chinese, 

Chicken Rice, 

Italian, 



Fried Tempura Stuffs, 

Raw Stuffs, 



Bread and Cheese, 



Desserts. 



Despite these, everything was a total disappointment! The Fresh Seafood was not fresh at all! The Fresh Oyster and Scallop tasted like they were drowned in the water a few times. I felt like eating those flour-made-seafood-imitation stuffs, those usually consumed by vegetarians. No taste at all! 

The Fresh Salmon looked ‘dead’ for days (a fresh salmon would always have a visible white stripes and the meat is more reddish-looking!) and tasted like dead fish! 

As for dessert, there was new stuff – ‘FLY’ing Muffin (Fly-In-Muffin)! 

The chocolate fountain was not a fountain at all. Nothing was flowing. I think a non-operation chocolate fountain machine made a good decoration than a bowl of white chocolate sitting on top of an electrical stove. 

The macaroni pasta tasted like macaroni with cheesed based soup, too watery! 

The cream soup was not creamy at all; maybe they meant they use cream to make soup (Eg. Chicken to make chicken soup!). It was so tasteless and watery that we sent it to the waitress straight! 

Anyway, you should try the herbal soup. I finished it all! And I was proud of it! They should make it as a Fear Factor challenge or some sort of competition! It made bitter gourd tasteless! Personally I think it only suited those older Chinese Folks and not everyone could stand the bitterness!


As for the service, it was bad. They seemed shorted on waitresses! Dreckker and I kept waving for attention but it seemed no one noticed us. Our table ended up with more and more dirty dishes!




I only found my favorite food when I was going for dessert. The cheesecake was marvelous, but it was gone within seconds; and replaced by other cake that was less delicious.

 

As for Dreckker, he went to this buffet to enjoy the Chicken Rice??!!!
