As Good As It Gets

In this past few day, I spent my days alone in my room. Nothing much to do anyway,since there are so many holidays in this past 3 weeks. I do not have any class on Monday and every public holiday in this 3 weeks fell on a Tuesday, so that means double joy for me cause I have my 4 days weekend from Saturday to Tuesday.

Tomorrow is a new year.

My plan for tonight is to celebrate the new year with a simple dinner with Matthlessa, since she is the only friend of mine from Bujang school. I do not know what are my other friends are doing, but I am just hoping that everyone will have a good time tonight.

As I am writing this, I am very broke but not desperate. My beloved Shell scholarship is not banked in yet. Huhu. Looks like its a Gardenia breakfast every morning until I get my scholarship. Huhu

Well, I think I did well in my examinations last semester, I manage to push my CGP to above 3 pointers.

I will be leaving to KL again in the next two weeks to attend a job symposium.It is the opportunity for me to meet future employer. So, I am going to write a good resume and just hope for the best! Peace!

(Starting from now on, I am going to post a quote everytime I blog)
Quote of the day : "20 seconds into the High School Musical show, I barfed."

Yeah,its the usual, Merry X’mas wish to everyone..duhh. I guess everyone is enjoying their Christmas day tomorrow. As for me, it is another lonely Christmas day. Just enjoying being alone.

Just the two of us.

I want to enjoy my Christmas minus the over - commercialized atmosphere.

I despise Santa Clause, because he is a paedophile.

I despise turkey, because its name is similar to a country, and I think turkey should be renamed to belanda chicken.Pity those Turkish people, all the boorish remarks about them.

I despise a white Christmas, because I do not fancy a cold and sombre Christmas day.I would migrate to the Southern Hemisphere to have a sunny Christmas day.

Well, well, well, Christmas has becomes quite an obnoxious occasion in the recent years. It is my least favourite celebration in my top 5 list. I think I love my birthday celebration the most, rather than this jingle - jingle f***king bell occasion.

Bleugh! I hate Christmas, I cant wait for my birthday next month…on the 28th January(remember my friends…message me for my address, send me a f**king expensive gifts, your generosity is very much appreciated!..I really that Bluetooth Sony Erisson earphone, the Mary France Bodyline Men Slimming Package, that new Nike shoes I saw at Al-Ikhsan, the trip to Singapore, overnight at Hilton KL, the dining voucher at Chilli’s etc etc)Huhuhuh.Im just kidding…

Merry X’mas,ho’s! I am not going to wish you a happy new year because all your new year resolutions never work anyway, so are your previous year resolutions.Anyway, have a hellish new year because the petrol price is up and you are going to experience a very broke year ahead!HAHAHAHA….

As an avid cook, I found that this channel does not excite me. Most of the programmes are plain boring.

In fact, I think that every cooking show is boring.

I cook, but it doesn’t mean that I am the best cook around and I do not need some professional help to tell me how to cook.

Cooking is an activity that comes from the heart and if you cook for someone you love, no matter how the food is cooked, it is always delicious and tantalizing.

I think I am a great cook, I cook with a vigourous passion. Commercially, my food is very mediocre and wouldnt make myself into a sought - after chef.

Still, if someone wants to know weather I like someone, just try my cookings.

One of these days, I would cook for a group of friends, but unfortunately due to time constraint, geographical limitations, etc, I am unable to do so.

I am still collecting myself, I have been completely on the loose in Miri. it is time to think about things to do in Penang. One of the things I have in mind is bonding with my buddies and do something like a cooking party of some sorts. Huhu.

Im counting down my days in Miri. There are 2 days left before leaving to Penang. Owh, I have to let go luxuries of life. I have to live like a broke student( umm isn’t that who I am in Penang?)

No one to cook for me, no one who do the laundry for me, no astro, no free shopping, no streamyx etc.

After living in a shambles condition for a year, I really appreciate the good things at home which I have been taken for granted all these time. Sigh…

Anyway, I haven’t pack anything yet, despite there are 2 days left. I will be leaving at  10am on Wednesday morning.

I wish I do not care about going back. I will stay at home and grow fat.

Unfortunately, I have to face my university life and be like others.

Sigh.It is not a good thing complaining too much.

Let me enjoy the remaining days without much disturbance. Peace!

My little brother turn my room into his own. Now he used my bed and I have to sleep on the mattress on the floor. The arrangement of the furniture in so awkward and everything just doesnt look  right.

I loathed this room, I want it to look back to its original.

It is just 10 a.m. in the morning, yet I begin to feel a bit worry. I cannot sleep properly last night because I was thinking so much. I think I have been surrounding myself in negativity, and I should avoid these elements and start to think positively.

Well, today is a fine day. It has been raining cats and dogs earlier, but the weather subside and it is cloudy at the moment.

As I am typing this posting, I heard clucking noises from the a neighbour’s house. It is quite noisy, a rarity in my usually quiet neigbourhood.

My brother is in the next room, as usual, playing the computer games endlessly.

No one else is at home. It is a Saturday, but both of my parents went off to work.(They work in the private sector). My two older brothers went somewhere.

Arg.. what a dull day. Nothing to blog about. Today has a boring starting.

Sorry if I waste your time reading this nondescript entry, I know I should have write something interesting for your reading pleasure.  Peace!

    Darn, there is less that a week left before I am leaving for Penang. It is good to be back home, but I need to be back to USM and get myself busy with studies. I have a love and hate relationship with my studies. If I get too stressed up, I would not feel good. But, if I am on a holiday and I got nothing else to do, I would feel like I am missing something. I would feel useless and unproductive. It is better to keep myself busy, I prefer it that way.

    I go out almost every night with my cousin. We would just hang out or cruising down the empty street. But, I always make sure that the latest hour to go back home is around 1 a.m. Being a goody - goody boy like me.(Sigh..)

    Owh, I miss reading. I can’t wait to go to USM library and borrow something to read. I find it is quite amusing. No one told me to read, it just come by itself. I thought that I can improve my english, but obviously, as all of you can read in all of my postings, I made so much grammatical errors and misuse of words.Ha ha.

    I can’t wait to go to Penang to eat tomyam.
    I can’t wait to go to Penang to surround myself with noise and the endless traffic jam.
    I can’t wait to go to Penang to resume study.(Seriously)

My dad is so cool. As I am tying this posting, he had done enough damage to the ugly old shed at the back of my house to make it collapse. Way to go dad!

My mum rocks, she is cutting the grass, using the grass cutting machine which is usually used by the grass cutter by the roadside. So, could you guys imagine that? My mom just came back from her work.(She is an account executive) and straight away go to the backyard and cut the grass. She is definitely a supermom!

My little brother, he is wasting his time playing video game in the next room. Basically that is his activity during this school holiday. Kids…

As for me, it is the time for me to relax and enjoy. For the next 4 - 6  months I am going to be either in Penang or KL so I better take this opportunity to enjoy the time in Miri. Huhu.

Hmmm. 5 more days to go before leaving to KL - Penang. Geez.

I have to admit it. I think she is really beautiful, inside
out. I wish she knew how I feel about her and one day, I have to confess that
to her. This particular girl made me questions the fundamental ideas about the
utopia that I dreamt of. I feel that I am compelled to blog about this to clear
the air of misunderstandings that surrounds me all this time.

 I am a
late bloomer. I develop this feeling at the very late stage of my teenage
years. I am approaching 21 years old but I only feel like this at this stage of
my life. During the early years, back in my early teenage years, I was
oblivious to my surrounding and I allow myself to let go the opportunity to
flirt. Besides, my teenage years were not an easy one. I was very self –
conscious at the time and I felt like I did not fulfill a certain societal
expectation.

 But, it
is a different story now. I allow myself to embrace the repressed feelings and
it is the time to let go. I would describe myself as a good theoretical
practitioner. I would “ play “ this video in my head and foresee the
consequences of actions that I may/may not partake. I envisaged this images
that may surface if I am in a relationship with her.

 I know,
people will tell me that the first time would be an instant gratification that
lasts for a short while and the parties involved would end up very heartbroken,
almost suicidal. Is this true?

 This
blog is endless if I elaborate about the big “L” word. I am very definitive
person, and my opinions and views cover 360 degrees of the issue. I think
everyone would agree/disagree on certain points. (right??) . I am entitled to
my own opinions.

 Anyway,
back to the main topic. This girl makes me feel special. I never feel this way.
But, I know I can’t put too much expectation for myself. Maybe what I am
feeling now is just a minor infatuation that will eventually go away. There are
many girls out there, and there is someone special for me. One day, I will find
her.

 I am
turning 21 next month. Yes, the legal age. I can vote, set my own business, get
marry without parents consent etc. I live on philosophical words. I obtain
wisdom through vicarious occasions. But, I am a late bloomer when it comes to that
big taboo “L” word.

 I think
some readers would be surprised that I posted this entry. It is some thing I
never put up and I never discuss this with my friends. In one of my old
postings, I remembered that I wrote about how easy it is to express the deep
thought that I keep to myself, and share it with the whole world through
blogging. It is crazy. Technology definitely changes the way we think.

 I love
this extreme feeling I am having now. Love is never a good feeling; it is
either an extreme elation or a very hurtful scarring. (It is true,right?)

One of my favourite songs..

I ripped yr heart out from yr chest
Replaced it with a grenade blast

[Incinerate 4x]

Firefighters hose me down
I don’t care I’ll burn out anyhow
It’s 4 alarm girl nothing to see
Hear the sirens come for me
You dosed my soul with gasoline
You flicked a match into my brain

[Incinerate 4x]

The firefighters are so nice
I remember you so cold as ice
Now flames are licking at yr feet
Sirens come to put me out of misery
You wave yr torch into my eyes
Flamethrower lover burning mind

[Incinerate 8x]

Ok, so here is my 2nd part of my food review.In the 1st part, I only elaborated about certain kind of food, and now I would like to list my favourite restaurants. The food is not the only criteria, I take the cleanliness, the service and pricing as some crucial criteria not to be left out. Basically, it is about the whole dining - in experience. You want to eat at a place where you can relax and enjoy yourself at the same time.

So,this are the restaurants that made into the list. I narrow down the list to top 5 restaurants that I enjoy going to.

No 5 - Restoran Kapitan
Why? The best authentic cheese naan is made here. The teh halia is superb and refreshing. The claypot nasi kandar is delicious. Free wi-fi. Huge screen tv.Open 24/7 Individual sofa seat.Fast service and less crowded.Price range is RM10 to RM20.
Where? Opposite Queensbay Mall. The first row shophouse facing the sea

No 4 - Nando’s
Why?The peri - peri chicken. Need I say more? Comfortable environment, with wood based furniture being used as the restaurant settings. Maybe people would think that it is just a basic and nondescript setting, but I find it comfortable and relaxing. Price range - RM15 - RM25

No 3 - Subaidah Nasi Kandar
Why? Because it is located next to my house and there is also a branch inside USM. The nasi kandar is good. The environment is very clean and well kept. The have the best nasi lemak which is only served in the evening. It is a great place to hang out with friends. Price range RM5 - RM10.

No 2 - The Stall Nearby Damai Flat.
Owh. I love this place! They have nice lauk - pauk served during lunch time. It is the best place to have lunch. Plus, it is cheap,cheap,cheap! Price range RM5 - RM10.

No 1 - Jeng jeng jeng! The number one in my list is Hammer Bay. Great food, great enviroment, Penang Bridge view,easy access location, and great service.I visited a lot of Malay eat house, and this is the best of the best. Their tomyam is the best and so is the Sotong Goreng Tepung. I cant wait to go here again.

So this is my top 5 restaurants and in my previous entry, I posted about my favourite food in Penang. So, I believe that a lot of people out there may disagree with some of my review. Feel free to drop in your opinion.Peace!
