My bureau table...
Remember from the old movie, where the old English man like to write on a compartmental table? I meant where they can lock the table after pulling down the slide or such? I have one on my hand last Friday... hehe it is the best, because it was designed with the precision and everything is in place...the painting on the table was dated back to the 19th century, it is an antique... cool huh? I will take the photos later... I still need to clean it up and putting some personnel on it...

My kitchen
Up to date:
My kitchen is almost complete with my usual accessories except a deep fryer and steamer. I still needed a cast iron pan, which is the best to cook meat, and a big food processor...
I have been shopping or 'borrowing' my kitchen appliances such as a slow cooker, an espresso maker, a stove with oven, and more...
I am looking for more food party next year... I really hope I won't be blacklisted for poisoning my guests ...hehehe!
Looking forward for it...

The X'mas
First of all, I did not received coal for x'mas... I am the nice guy what...phew, lucky.
Second, I was drinking on x'mas eve with my dad, and after that I went to a local pub which is owned by my dad's friend (I didn't know that, I swear) and was drinking there until 2am and went to karaoke with my dad's friend's crew to a karaoke until 5am...poor me...well have to get some x'mas atmosphere and I met some interesting people there...
Third, woke up at 7am, and went back to bed and wake up at 8:45am because needed to go to KL for food with my dad at 9:30am. Reach Pavilion at 10:20am where there are many patrons already. So, did some window shopping because the thing over there is ridiculously expensive. Have some food at Jogoya restaurant at 11am although our reservation is 11:30am, but because they have turkey so I think it is a good deal. Have some sashimi, chinese food, tempura, turkey, cheese cake, mochi cake, Haagen Diaz ice cream and etc. which is very good, but compared to their track record, they can do better. Then return to Pavilion to shop for food, but my fresh lobster is not there, they sell frozen lobster, but I wanted something fresh... so I did not buy it. Bought some chocolates and a bottle of champagne for new year. My brother called me to have dinner where he is going to cook (the scary tunes started to play in my mind)... he asked me to get him some luncheon meat/ spam...hmmm... fried rice.
Fourth and lastly, the clock shows 7:15pm, I was at the old house... my brother showed me the ingredients of what he is going to prepare that day... hmm... broccoli, baby carrots, badly marinated chicken, frozen potatoes wedges, 2 boxes of left over rice, hot dogs and mayonnaise.
I was observing him cutting the broccoli, and frying the fries...it was scary... I told him, I will do the cooking... so I cut the broccoli and the baby carrot, mixed them up and put some hot water on them and quickly put them on ice water. I saw him frying the fries... wrong method again. I do it by myself again... and finally I shooed him off the kitchen and I cook the fries, cook the hot dogs, fried the chicken, make a tom yum soup and finally fried rice. And I make some cocktails and open up a champagne... a invited dinner becoming my own dinner party...hahaha, funny huh? Went to bed at 12:30 midnight.

Appreciate the people besides you (in Chinese)
----- 珍惜身邊人 -----
一頓歷時89分鐘，價值274元的晚餐。一對男女戀人步出餐廳。男的吃這頓飯吃得好辛苦，因他85分鐘都用了來想著公司的那份計劃書該怎樣做，幸好女的一點也不發覺他心不在焉。女的對男的說：「現在不算太晚，你不用送我了，我自己回家吧。」明天就要交計劃書的男友，「立刻」答：「好呀!那你小心點了，回家致電給我吧。再見。」
男的飛快回家，去埋首他的工作，他不停的做直致電話響起。他看看鐘原來已經半夜三時許，是誰這麼夜來電？他接過電話，原來是他的未來外母：「我女兒現在還沒回家，你不是和她去了吃飯嗎？她怎樣了，我好怕…」男的才記起女的說回到家後會致電他報平安，{在已經夜半二、三時她為什麼還不回家。男的心亂如麻，最後還是報警求助。
去到警局，警員問他：「她失蹤時的衣著是？」
男的：「這…她…想不起來…」
警員：「不打緊，你先放鬆一下，那衣服的顏色總會記得吧？藍色？紅色？」
男的：「我…我只想著份計劃書，吃飯也低下頭…我不曾看過她的…」
警員：「她的髮型呢？長髮？短髮？」
男的：「我跟她一起很多年了…我所以…怎麼她的東西我一點也想不起…」
警員：「你說她是你女友，你們最近很少見面嗎？怎會連髮型也不知道，那她有帶首飾，手袋嗎？」
男的也是無言以對。
離開警局，男的覺得很驚訝，驚訝他對女友的「不上心」。多年來他已把愛情的感覺當成一種習慣，就連對他的女友也「習以為常」，已經不把她放在心上了。已過了三天，女的還是音訊全無，這三天男的除了擔心女友的安危，就是不停的想：「她的髮型、她的衣著，我怎會不知道的！我一定要記起來！」
這夜，男的經過一條幽黑、灰暗的長街，竟看見女的就站在長街的盡頭。男的高興得跑向她，想緊緊的擁抱她。但走到女友的面前他就改變了主意，他雙手按著女友的肩膊，說：「等一下，先不要動。讓我看清楚你，你的頭髮、你的衣著，我要好好的記著。回想起那晚，其實是你發現我還有工作在身，想我早點回家工作而叫我不用送你的。一直以來只有你還關心我的感受，而我卻不理會你。但不要緊，我已知道應怎樣去愛你、珍惜你。相信我，你的一切一切今後都會常在我心中的。」
女的：「你終於都懂得理會我的感受，懂得珍惜我了…可惜已經太遲…」男的忽然醒過來，原來剛才的是一場夢。夢醒後男的努力去想，夢中女友的衣著、髮型，但還是記不起來…
隔天，男的終於再見回他的女友，就是在警員帶他到殮房認屍的時候…
望著躺在停屍間的女友，男的哭著說：「我終於知道你的髮型，衣著，我現在才真正的看真你。我會記著的，永遠都會記著的…我剛想到要珍惜你…你醒醒呀…不要就這樣離開我好嗎……」
男的剛學會珍惜，卻已後悔莫及。現在他除了哭泣，就什麼都做不了

Tong Yuen Nite
Today is the winter celebration, where Chinese usually emphasized more on today compared to Chinese New Year. It is a day where they are sending the deities back to heaven.
Also today is the day where all the family members returned from everywhere to home to have tong yuen. Hmm... What is tong yuen? Tong Yuen is a dessert made from gluttonous rice powder to made a ball (size: 0.5inches to 1inch dia. ) and it will later cook with some sweet base soup. Not bad huh?
I am having my dinner at home tonite.

Are you A Player?
This morning I heard a very funny psychology question:
Your friend told you that he/she met a very beautiful nurse( can be man/woman)
What will be on your mind:
1. The nurse is a very beautiful/handsome
2. The nurse has a pretty/charming eyes and pretty white
3. The nurse is good hearted / inner beauty and good looking
4. The nurse has a normal look but have a hot body
Which will you choose?
The explanation:
1. You are a player. But be careful because player usually get burned.
2. You are a good hearted person. A player, but you never do anything to hurt the person.
3. A good hearted person, an average player. Will emphasize more on inner beauty and not the look.
4. A person who thought he/ she is a player, where he/she is not... sorry you will usually get hurt badly.

My True Love...
Well you most probably thinking I found a gal, nope... think again...
I was fetching my god sister's friends from Jaya Jusco and imagine what pulled me to the bargain counter? It has a perfect built body, very bad temper, but always give me the best result??? Tada: A coffee expresso maker for half price... I am in heaven. It is a DeLonghi coffee maker... I was out of breath when I saw it... I went to talk to the sales and check with it... and it have a milk tray for cappuccino. It is perfect... perfect with the Illy coffee powder that I bought earlier that week...I paid for it and I make my first cup of coffee when I reach home...It is the best cup of brewed coffee I ever have...

The House Party
Hmmm... the unforeseen house party happened this week...why?
Well, my god Sis, Jess came in from JB on Friday's nite to attend a wedding dinner on Saturday... well she was college mate/close friend that I have from Inti College. I invited her and her friends to stay at my place because I have rooms to spare.
She came to Seremban first, where we went to have some fine dinner in KL and I bump into a 'bump'/ Mr. Sean Lai because he seemed to be to busy to meet up with old friends like me, but not with some beautiful office colleagues... man what a player. We ended to leave the restaurant at 1am and reach Seremban at 2am. It was a blast...
I have to go to work at 7am and I leave the house and came back to fetch her friends around 4pm... all of them are crazy bunch... and it was nice to have them.
We play TAI 'D' until 4am with drinking (I broke my vows not to drink for two months) and as we said it always happened...
The result: I will have more house parties next year because it seemed that I really enjoy it.
