..at the crossroads..

..i'm at a junction, quite uncertain whether i should turn..left, right, or forge right ahead?..

..it's been really great the past few months but like they always say..all good things must come to an end..

or must they?

why does it always have to end up like this? why cant it feel eternally wonderful all the way..?

..maybe it's just a roller coaster ride..and i'm just having a blast going through the ups and downs and the twists and the turns..maybe this train will still reach its destination after all ... or maybe i'm just headed for the ....

u want pussy? u want??

.."mixed breed" pussy cat available for adoption. name's mr momo. he's a 2 year old kitty cat, very handsome, toilet trained on most days, entertains himself most of the time (you know what i mean..?? wink2 :OP) .. anyone interested, pls let me know.. hehe

it's good to the last drop..!!

..no, i'm not talking about the shell V-power petrol here..nor am i talking about anything remotely naughty for that matter..hehe

it's just my recipe for a most delicious Yum Yum creamy tomyum shrimp noodles, a most ingenious concoction that will take you to tingling taste-buds heaven in 3 minutes !!

so..this is how u do it..(pls follow steps very2 closely, one misstep and disaster awaits you !!)
















1) first, take a nice deep porcelain bowl, break an egg into it, do not stir
2) then add about 350ml of hot boiling water gently
3) then add the seasoning that comes with the pack
4) put the whole ensemble into a microwave
oven and cook on high heat for 90 seconds
5) now, take out bubbling hot tom-yum soup and add the noodles, plus throw in a half teaspoon of crispy prawn chilli. take a second to smell its distinct aroma, then..
6) put the bowl back into microwave and cook on high for another 90 seconds
7) take out the almost finished product and add a bit of fried shallots for extra ooomph..


and now, it's ready to give you unspeakable gastronomic delights...woot3 !! (now..if only i had 3 huge prawns to cook with..)



so simple, yet so fabulously delicious... i always wonder why the Thais are so good at making their instant noodles. our local brands just pale so much in comparison..haih..

aiyooooo....

...this has got to be the best fried chicken i have tasted so far, i think.. hehe

was at Tropicana Mall yesterday to watch a movie (Tron) but before that had dinner at the ChicKing outlet. wasn't really expecting much even though i was really enamoured with the posters of their fried chicken on display. had to be careful after the con by the fake cheesy potato the other day. nowadays, must never be too trusting of nice foody pictures..haha

so i ordered a two piece set that came with mash & coleslaw but asked for an exchange for 2 mash potatoes instead. my initial apprehension was proven right again when i opened the covers to the mash potato cups. they were so watery they were like potato soup..aiyooo. too much gravy or not enough potato? hmmm..But..one taste and it made me feel better. i even ordered some french fries to dip in the potato "soup".. maybe they purposely made the mash potato that way, so one can have a pseudo-soup or have it as potato dip, at the same time...hehehe

what came next truly made my day. from appearance, the chicken looked just like any other hot & spicy fried chickens out there, not extremely impressive. but one bite and i was in fried chicken heaven. it was crispy on the outside (everyone in there was making so much "krok2" sound), with soft tender meat on the inside, and the taste was rather quite exquisite..had a bit of spicy taste to it with a hint of garlic..yummmeh.. the only let down was i asked for a thigh and wing but i was given a wing and a breast. a bit strange that people working in chicken outlets cannot differentiate chicken parts..and the fries were quite on par with McD's if not better i would say.. they were quite good actually, very crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and most importantly, without that artificial potato taste..







<------- very clean looking fries, not oily or soggy.. if only i had some cheesy dip to go with them, would have been absolutely orgasmic..hehe ... and oh btw...Merry X'mas ya...

Oh..quick..guess what ?

..i got my HTC Desire HD smartfone about a week ago. been keeping really quiet about it coz i wanted to play around with it first before giving my opinions..

well...so far, so damn good ah..!! actually, IMHO, it's probably one of the better if not the best smartfones to have come out from HTC. i'm still having loads of fun exploring all it's capabilities. My only gripe, err well, got two actually...is 1) the battery life really sucks. lasts about a day or less when i use the browser actively, with social networking in between, make a few calls here & there etc..wish it would at least last 2 days or more. even when i switch off the internet connection and all background auto-sync processes, i could perhaps stretch the standby to about 3 days max. well..with a few sms messaging and a few calls done & maybe played a short game or two... 2) the battery & the SIM/SD covers look a bit retarded and not really compatible with the rest of its body, not exactly an engineering marvel i would say..but what the heck..the android 2.2 with the HTC sense UI still amazes me..

but...otherwise, i like the big 4.3 inch screen, the display bright & sharp enough despite being an LCD and not an AMOLED screen, the 8MP camera took really good pics, plays videos wonderfully but the speakers were a bit of a letdown...even when volume is pushed to the max. guess using a headphone would resolve this. switching between apps was really fast, the browser connection and downloads were just as good too. i'm still learning to use the navigation app, so cant really tell how good that is yet..but i'm sure it'll work quite well..

anyway, if you guys have a bit of money to throw around (like about rm 2299..), you might want to go check this phone out. i hear the demand is much much more than the supply can handle at this moment.. so discounts may not be so freely given for now..

but if you are short of cash and yet still want something that looks just as good as the htc desire hd plus having similar hardware specifications, then check this out instead..

..I kinda had expected...

more actually from this event.

considering the fact that we are one of the largest motor vehicle markets in the asean region, the number of car exhibits and the number of players who took part, were kind of disappointing...

i'm talking about this years klims (kuala lumpur international motor show) held at the putra world trade centre recently...or for that matter the annual klims event for as long as i can remember..hmm

the models (cars i mean) on display were either already available on the road or about to be launched, with 4 exhibit halls and a quarter of that space already taken up by proton & perodua, there weren't that much space left to accommodate any other makes..or maybe they just decided it's not worth their while to participate...

anyhow, i guess at rm20 per entry, not much should be expected...and if you can just see the below pics i took, then you would have seen pretty much most of the exhibits at klims..i didnt bother to take every single car model on display as they were like those movie extras, just to make up the numbers or maybe just to fill up leftover space


..but all's not lost when i managed to catch this really cute & funny lady "promoter" (i think she'll scream if she ever hears someone calling her that..hehe) at the asimo (honda) exhibit. she was like talking non-stop while riding on a one wheel anti-gravity, almost gyroscopic-like type of gadget, and wheezing back & forth and across the stage the whole time...chatting about this robotic vehicle that she's sitting on and talking about having insights (that produced the asimo vehicle) that can change the world we live in..(hint2, hmm must also be referring to the honda insight)....oh man, she's such a natural, all those cajoling, and teasing and interacting with the audience..she's good, really good especially when all her facial funnies get shown on a huge projector screen !!....(she's the last pic on the bottom right)..


i actually spent > 30 minutes just listening or rather getting entertained by her.. i believe the organizer should just pay her the rm20/ person entry charge cause she deserves it..!!

a bit of hype..

...and more..

so..i went to watch this movie last sunday with a friend. it wasnt really planned. we just happened to be walking around at berjaya times square and wah lah..the cineplex was right in front of us..and we saw the poster for this movie..

Now Showing "The Social Network"...woot2..we've been wanting to watch it since a while back..and it was perfectly beautiful timing on that day..nothing to do on a sunday, walking around in a shopping complex, no new handphones to buy and too early still for dinner...hmmm


...anyway, it was good from the minute it started to the end when the credits rolled. a pretty good insight into the minds of geniuses (hmmm..as compared to us mere mortals who are more on the idiotic side i guess..hehe), the drive and focused aspirations of these entrepreneurs to achieve their dreams, plus the necessary "wild and treacherous" lifestyles that must accompany such dreams.. :P

in any case, it's amazing to kind of be able to see how a small idea, sparked by an emotional incident, eventually gave rise to a global social networking platform and in turn revolutionizes the way we communicate with each other..wah and they say big successes come from small things..hmmm..so true eh??!! you guys should go see it..
