Greetings from Malaysia

Posted by danny On November - 28 - 2007

I flew down to Malaysia on the 25th of November via Jetstar. You’d think you’d get pretty crap services and facilities with the budget airline, but it is quite decent. I only paid $240 for a one-way flight.

Flight was smooth and had no issues at all. I bought a book at the airport which I was planning to read on the plane, but ended up just watching movies and sleeping.

So what have I done so far ever since I touched down? Eat eat eat. :S

Food here is soooo cheap that it’s hard to say no to seconds. I’ve been having mamak & chinese food mainly.

Also I’ve been fishing with my highschool friends at some man made pond in Sri Petaling. Costs around RM23 for 4 hours on Mondays. We ended up fishing for 8 hours hehe. I didn’t catch anything though, so unlucky. My friend caught a 3kg pachu fish and we traded it for two 2kg patin fish.

I’ve also been doing a little bit of shopping. Not as much as I want though. Only bought a pair of boxers so far. Will be going to Lowyat today to buy a bunch of electronic goodies.

Not sure if you’ve been to a pub called Wabisabi here. Had beers with friends there last night. Gosh, it is soooo expensive! RM42 + 10% surcharge for a jug of beer. I’ve always hated having alcoholic beverages in Malaysia because it is so expensive compared to Australia.

Well my reasoning was I’d rather eat 40 roti banjir instead, hehe :P

Anyways, if any of you want my Malaysian number, just send me an email and I’ll get back to you.

And you thought you’ve heard everything…

Posted by danny On November - 15 - 2007

until this guy gets caught having “sex” with his bicycle. WTH?!?! Seriously, the perverseness that you come across nowadays is just ridiculous.

Cleaners of a hostel caught the guy with a singlet and naked waist down, holding his bike and moving his hips back and forth. The 51 year old bachelor claimed he was drunk.

It’s Cooking Time!

Posted by danny On November - 13 - 2007

I decided to cook something tonight and flicked through HungerHunger’s blog and discovered Steamed Chicken With Chinese Ham n Mushrooms!

Now the only deviation I did from the recipe was that I used normal soy sauce because I couldn’t find light soy sauce, and I used normal bacon because I had no clue where to find ham that’s asian. Also I used chicken thigh only because I couldn’t be stuffed cutting up a whole chicken. Besides, I was only cooking for two: myself and my sister.

Oh, I’m not sure whether the chicken was corn-fed though. Didn’t get a chance to ask it. Anyways, I followed the recipe and mixed it all into a bowl. Refrigerated for an hour.


Now the mixture was smelling bloody good and I was kinda proud of myself. Everything was going good until I came to the cooking part. A huge stumbling block for me, but perhaps not for others.

The instructions said “Steam at high heat for 25 to 30 min. Serve hot with plain rice“. Me being a guy, didn’t really understand this in full detail because I need step-by-step instructions. I wondered to myself, “How on earth will I steam this without the sauce dripping away?“. I didn’t think this through thoroughly and so I proceeded with the assumption that you’re meant to simmer it. Oh how wrong I was!

Now I think the correct way is to place it on a heat tolerant plate or pan, and place it into a pot of steaming water and steam it! Aha, why didn’t I think of this earlier?!?

Another huge mistake was not doing it in a non-stick pot. If you see the picture above closely, you’ll see that the bottom is burnt and the food is stuck as well. I must say the aroma still smelt nice though!

The end result?

I didn’t bother decorating and positioning the food in a presentable way because I was about to devour it in a few minutes.

The verdict? Very niiiiceeee…



Ignore the head piece and don’t ask why.

Boring 22nd

Posted by danny On November - 12 - 2007

Happy birthday to me!

Anyways, was a pretty boring day for me. Woke up 9sih cos Sahar called me. Then had a dentist appointment at 12pm. After that I played dota all afternoon pretty much, hehe.

After getting sick of dota, I bugged my sister and then went outside to do a bit of weights under the sun. Man, really need to get into the workout routine again. It’s been a while.

Dinner at Big Johns with family and cousin. Then got a call from my girl to pick up my present from abercrombie.

Here it is!


Thanks princess! :) Funny message though on the card, hehe.
