How to be a Microwave Chef

Went to the library yesterdae...
came across a book...
think should be very useful for some of us...
LOL...
guess wat?

The all you need guide to being a microwave chef

For all those who wish to be a microwave chef...
this is the book for u... lol...

no griller? no steamer? no combi-oven? no fryer? no wok?
no worries!!!
all you need is just a microwave!!!
press some buttons here... press some there... and...
viola!!!
fine dining ala microwave...

Here come's my answer!!!

Have been thinking for quite a while now...
and my decision for the prev question is...

i'll never force myself to eat something dat i dun like...
i tried to eat the green apple...
but... dun think i like sour green apples...
so... sorry... i'll never choose to eat it...
even if it's free for me to take...

the apple dat dropped...
yes dirty...
you can clean off the dirt...
but... the bruises will forever be there...
it's no longer appetizing...
i chose not to eat it anymore...

so i'm now left wif that apple...
that big red juicy apple...
i've decided dat if i were to have it...
i'll snatch it from whoever is holding onto it...

however...

if i couldn't have it...
then...
i'd rather starve...
i'll forfeit all three apples...
die wif a hungry stomach...

Dilemma...

I'm currently in a very confused state...
so i might need help from YOU GUYS who are reading my blog now...

Confusionsius say : you have only one choice...

ok...
imagine u r in this situation...

you hold on to a juicy apple...
as you are about to eat it...
you dropped it on the floor...
thus bruising it... dirtying it...

then you noticed another person...
holding to another big juicy red apple...
even better dan your's...
but if u gotta have it... u gotta snatch it from him...

and then... there is this other apple... on the table...
small and green...
not at all appetizing...
but it's there... on the table...
free for you to take...

now the question...

Which? Would YOU choose?
You are hungry... and you just have to eat...

A : The bruised dirty apple that you dropped on the floor
B : The big juicy apple that does not belong to you or,
C : The unappetizing small green apple on the table

Choose one... please post in the tag board on the right... --->>
you votes are greatly appreciated...

The Complex me...

It is said that a gemini has split personalities...
and a gemini am i...

I am a very complex person...
with very complex personalities...
what everybody sees is only part of me...
the other part lies in mysteries and secrecy...
not even the closest to me knows the entire me...
not even myself know what i can do... am capable of...

General Guideline...
i'm 90% good...
and 10% pure evil...
(and i do mean pure evil...)
that 10%... is the devil in me...
but the 90% good is subduing it all these while...
and they are doing fine even up till now...

the saying goes...
an empty vessel makes the most noise... and...
a quiet person is the most dangerous person...
and believe me... it is very true...

i'm a guy... powered by love...
and love am i being powered by...
for if i lose love... the source of my primary power...
the bindings of good shall break...
and the devil shall be unleashed...
hell will reign... and chaos shall rule...
all who stand in my path shall suffer hell's wraith...

love me and you can control me...
hate me and i shall control you...

For if the cupid falls, the devil shall take it's place.

Rain rain go away... Come again another day...

It's always something you like when sleeping,
It's the sound you hear.
But when you are out of house shopping,
It's the sound you fear.

Looking outside of my window...
saw the heavens cry...
when will it stop?
24hrs it had rained...

Never in my life had i seen such a long lasting rain...
heavy and light... heavy and light...
but never did it stop...

Will it rain for 40 days and 40 nights?
Will the earth be void of humanity once again?
Should i... build another ark?
But for now... I shall enjoy it with my sleep...

Good Night...

Watched Star Chef

Tuned in to Star Chef a few hrs ago...
saw tian mu... though only a short clip of him...
saw dino also... lol... even though an even shorter clip of him... :P
saw wayne... kak... and a few others... even even shorter clip... like 5 secs...
saw Derrick Lau... even even even shorter clip... i think only 1 sec... O_o
no eugene... so sad... thought could see him in it...

also saw a few funny incidents on the show... LOL
got one auntie...wok on fire...
conclusion:
hot oil + water = call the fire dept...

also got some ya ya papaya...
there was this guy... deep frying his pork loin... (quite a big piece) in the asian wok...
yifeng asked him while he was cooking...

Yifeng : your pork can cook fully in 10 mins?
Contestant : yes...
Yifeng : it's quite a big piece u noe... u sure?
Contestant : ya...

his plating was super ugly... simply no effort into it...
imagine... 1 big... and i do mean... BIG slab of pork on a dinner plate...
wif sauce all over...
den he cut a piece of pork for the judges to taste...

Judge : it's not even cooked in the middle... and u expect me to eat?
(LOL... note : our asian wok isn't exactly the biggest fire we have around... and to think u got 10 mins... subtracting the time taken to heat the oil... OMG!!!)

after dat... yifeng interviewed him again...

Yifeng : the judges said ur pork is not cooked... any reasons?
Contestant : maybe because i'm too nervous... and the oil too little...

(i was like... -_-... LOL... even i can't even cook dat SLAB of meat using our pathetic asian wok fire in 10 mins... i think 20 mins oso got problem...)

Heaven?

24hrs...

Everytime i close my eyes...
i recall...
i re-live that moment...
that feeling...

soft and tender...
warm and moist...
sweet and loving...

Chrono Cross Ending

Thus the curtain closes on another tale.

An eternity has passed...
Fleeting dreams fade into the distance...
All that is left now
Is me and my memories...

But I'm sure we'll meet again,
Someday, you and I...
Another place, another time.

It's just that we might not realize
That you are you and I am me...

Let us open the door to the great unknown,
Come across another reality,
And live another today...
Even when the story has been told,
Life goes on...

Until we meet again,
Take care of yourself, my friend...

Forever yours,

Schala "Kid" Zeal

Found a video on chrono cross...
brings back memories...

Tian Mu in Star Chef

But if i am unable to watch...

Chrono Cross

What was the start of all this?
When did the cogs of fate begin to turn?

Perhaps it is impossible to grasp that answer now,
from deep within the flow of time...

But, for a certainty, back then,
we loved so many, yet hated so much,
we hurt others and were hurt ourselves...

Yet even then, we ran like the wind,
whilst our laughter echoed
under cerulean skies...

- Quote from Chrono Cross

One of my favourite RPGs ever...
or should i sae... MY favourite RPG ever...
if possible... i would wanna play it again...
great story line...
and the best music i've ever heard in any RPGs...

Singapore National Excuses

1.NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR HAIR LOSS: Maggi Mee.
2. NATIONAL EXCUSE FOR BEING LATE: Traffic Jam.
3. NATIONAL CONDOM: None. Most Asians still feel embarrassed buying condoms. So they rush into a Seven-Eleven, grab the nearest pack, any brand also can, pay and leave before the cashier can even blink an eye
4. NATIONAL FRUIT FOR INDUCING MENSTRUATION: Pineapple
5. NATIONAL APHRODISIAC DRINK: Stout. Many swear by it. But after a few pints, they start swearing at everything...
6. NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (MEN): Food Poisoning.
7. NATIONAL FAKE ILLNESS FOR GETTING MC (WOMEN): Menstrual Pain.
8. NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY WOMEN WHEN REFUSING SEX: Headache, kids not asleep, maid not asleep, mother-in-law around, got early appointment, food not digested yet, aircon not cold enough, aircon too cold, nail polish not dried yet, forgot to take the pill, sleepy, stomach cramps, period, haven't remove make-up, haven't shower, no water supply, going to watch "Santa Barbara", depressed, no mood, etc.
9. NATIONAL EXCUSES GIVEN BY MEN WHEN REFUSING SEX: None. Asian men never refuse sex.
10. NATIONAL CURE FOR HEADACHES: Panadol. The "cure for all". If it fails, we have another secret weapon.....Tiger Balm.
11. NATIONAL CURE FOR DIZZINESS: Minyak Angin Cap Kapak (Axe oil).
12. NATIONAL CAUSE OF DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES): Happy Hours.
13. NATIONAL INSTANT CURE FOR DIZZINESS (FOR YUPPIES): The sight of a police road block.
14. NATIONAL RUBBISH DUMP: Anywhere. As long as it is not your house.
15. NATIONAL MOST MIS-PRONOUNCED NAME: Carrefour. Sometimes even pronounced as Carry 4! On second thought, why bother pronouncing Peugeot, Renault or Citroen correctly. I think it sounds better, when the local mechanics say "Pew Jeot". When I was in school, Milo was always Mee Lo, now that I'm sophisticated, I say "My Lo". So don't be embarrassed saying "Carry 4" when the Mat Sallehs shamelessly pronounce orang utan as "rangutan".
16. NATIONAL ROADSIDE DISTRACTION: The Bra-less Tourists. See how heads turn and traffic slows down or causes even tailback car accidents when a bra-less Mat Salleh backpacker goes bouncing about on the streets

Well well... here's another secret message known only to me... LOL

Chemical X

the label read...
"Love Potion No. 9 - Use With Caution"

God's Embrace...

I have no religion... I have no god...
I believe in myself... my eyes... and science...

i was once a christian...
long long time ago...
my aunt is christian... so i joined in... when she looked after me...
after we separated... so did god...

god had tried all means to get me back into his arms...
but to no avail...
i simply wouldn't budge...
gathered the forces of family and friends to aid him in getting me back...
i was just too far away for him...

over the years... god had become clever over time...
thinking of new ways to get me back...
now... he made use of her...

Dilemma...

Life's taken a turn for the better...

Somehow... i can feel it...
the roller coaster is starting it's ascent...
the flower of hope is blooming ever so beautifully...
i shall water it with care and love every single dae...
i shall not let it wilt...
i shall not destroy hope...

WOW!!!
i am so not used to it...
he came at 12pm... no noise from him till debrief... still no sound...
impressive...
never knew such a dae exists...

maybe it's becoz there were too many chefs in kitchen todae... so radio switched to mute...
maybe it's becoz got sore throat or watever... so radio no battery...
or MAYBE... radio changed for the better... decided to switch to classical music... (which i doubt so... LOL...)
but watever it is...
it's a rare sight...
not a sight to be seen every dae...
i'm totally not used to seeing him so quiet...
wanted to go disturb him... see if he got make any noise or not...
but i forgot... -_-

He who conceals his power well... Unleashes out the ultimate power in critical conditions...

Arrrggghh!!! HEADACHE!!!

just got a throbbing headache... owww........
dunno wat happened... maybe weather too hot recently... -_-
anyway... juz took a couple of panadol tablets...
should be feeling a bit ok in a while's time...

my life's going up and down... up and down...
now it's coming to a standstill...
i feel neutral now...

time heals all wounds...
he who controls time... controls the universe...
(haiz... how i wish i could control time...)

the longer i look at the pink flower bud...
the prettier it gets...
perhaps... hope... is prettier than what i've imagined...
though i noticed... due to the harsh conditions of the desert...
it had lost a petal or two... a bit of bruises here and there...
it is still pretty...

Nothing is Perfect in this World

Hope

What is that little pink thing on the patch of grass in the middle of the desert?
i knelt down beside it... took a closer look...

it's a pretty little flower...
not exactly a flower though...
a little pink flower bud...
wondering to myself... how can such a delicate life survive in such harsh conditions?
surviving in the middle of the scorching desert?

on closer examination...
i seem to have seen it before... somewhere...
somehow... i remember the name of this little bud...
it's called...
the flower of hope...

Serenity...

After the long awaited message...
i finally got it...
it is not wat i wanted...
but somehow... i predicted it... and it DID came true...

though bad news for me...
somehow... i feel calm... peaceful... relaxed...
suddenly... the roller coaster seem to have stopped it's descent...

maybe because...
my heart is slowly... petrifying...

Warning... Low Power...

Many things have happened...
there are a lot of things going on in my mind...

i'm very tired...
mentally tired...
and physically tired...
i feel like i'm gonna collapse anytime soon...

btw... i'm currently studying full time in SHATEC
working in rosette for outlet attachment...
AND... working part time in Palm Beach Seafood Restaurant...
y am i tired?... this is an example of my schedule:

Mondae - Fridae : Rosette
Saturdae : (Morning)Rosette , (Afternoon)Palm Beach
Sundae : Palm Beach

and imagine this carries on for a few weeks...
i haven't had a good rest for abt a mth already...
i'm very exhausted... :(
plus all the problems i'm facing now...
i think i'll die anytime soon...

Perhaps... That's for the best...

I'm dying...

My happiness was short lived...

Apprently... it seems like...
i've boarded a roller coaster to hell...
the tracks are going down at accelerating speeds...
when will the tracks come back up again?
or will it go straight to hell... and never come back up again?

*Hey... Look on the bright side... The longer the drop... The greater the inertia... The higher you will rise when the roller coaster is going back up again...




Optimism?
I don't know...

Secret Message

Recently... there have been many thoughts going through my mind...
and the biggest one is this:

(SECRET MESSAGE REMOVED)

(I've decided to keep it a secret in me forever...)

.

.

If I were you... I would be able to solve this with breeze...

(Of course I would... Becoz only I know the meaning of this...)

I've reached rock bottom...

ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!!

i've climbed this mountain...
halfway up...
almost reaching...
a huge stone fell on my head...
and i fell right down to the bottom...

my life is in shambles...

HOW WORSE CAN MY LIFE GET???!!!

I will not let you defeat me...

I will climb up this mountain again...

This time... I make sure I reach the peak...

I will... Survive...

About Me

This is a little something about me...
what i feel... about me...
(it may not be totally true... you'll have to know me to find out)

I feel...

I'm a person with a special gift...
i have a highly intelligent brain... with an IQ of 135
(may not be a lot... but definately higher than average...)

that makes me a very complex person...
not easily deciphered by the normal homo sapiens...
you might have noticed... by reading my posts...
many will not understand...
but all my posts have a meaning...
have something to say abt me... and how i feel...

something i don't like about my personality...
is that...
somehow...
i can sense people's feelings...
by interacting with them...
by looking at their expressions...
sometimes... i can feel that people are unhappy with me...
which makes me very upset... very unhappy...

which may not be a bad thing totally...
by being able to sense...
i know when to do what on different situations...

my brain is filled with secrets...
left to be discovered by only the most trusted...
it is not easy to understand me...
and know what is going on in my mind...



He who knows me well will be able to decipher every single thoughts and posts in this blog...

Fear

Fear resides...
Diablo - The Lord of Terror
summoning his minions to inflict fear...

how do you combat fear?
how do you ward off fear?

fighting... struggling... to escape fear's wrath
with every passing minute...
every passing second...
i must survive...
i shall not succumb...
i will never give up...



what if......
fear wins?......

Light

I'm starting to see light... in this darkness forsaken land...
a faint light... there... in the distance...
wondering to myself...
where will this light lead me to?

i'll move towards it...
be it good or bad...
there is a slight chance...
it beats sitting here... waiting for a brighter light...
what if... this is the only light i'll ever get to see... ever again?

i'm starting to feel happy...

Happiness

For the past month... i have never been truly happy...
much have happened... many have passed...
will i gain true happiness in months to come?
will i be able to find the light in the midst of darkness?
even if it is just a faint, weak light?

what is happiness?
what is true happiness?
what is eternal happiness?

i can only hope...
