A new addition to the family.

Remember I've been bragging that a new baby is coming to the family. So the wait is over. I reveal, my new item. My Sharp Aquos 37' Lcd tv...

From birth in the box

Unveiling under the hood.

Behold my new item. As you can see from the picture below the resolution is SWEET... Im having a geekasm...

Thing that I am going to do with this tv. Watch Transformers is 1080p on blu-ray
Play Super Smash Bros Brawl on my wii with HD cables.
Gears of War...
Well basically I use it to play games and watch movies.

Now all I need is a PS3. If anyone is listing, PS3 for birthday or anneversary. Sounds good. Rite?

Pizza... Pizza

During the weekend my wife got this cool idea to make some homemade pizza. This breadmaker is the best thing that money can buy (Thanks mom <3 ) Here are the play by play on how to make your own pizza. If you tend to drool stay 2 feet away from your keyboard. First we have to make the dough using the simple recipe and clicking start on the machine. I tell you, if you have something to invest on a breadmaker


Here is the topping that is going to be used for making the pizza. We got 3 types of cheeze, parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella. Chopped tomatoes, capsicum, red chillies, mushrooms. So ground beef to make the extra taste
Here is the dough as you can see. We had trouble making it round. But this is no holds barred pizza. So anything goes.



Red sauce for the base.


Add a lot of cheese... Mmm cheese, mushrooms, tomatoes, capsicum, ground beef


After that stick it in the oven. 180 celcius for 30 mins. Below you have the finish product. Sorry about the picture. Its a bit blurry

The pizza above was my wife creation. The 2 pizza below are mine. I sprinkle lots of cheese after the base. Put in sausages and lot of ground beef. A little tomato and to topped it all up, sprinkle lots and lots of Parmesan. On the left is almost the same but I put lots of cheddar instead. Parmesan taste way better than cheddar.

The cooked pizza... Can you smell what the rock is cooking?


Eventually we got bored of making miniature pizza's so we roll all the dough into one big flat squared dough and basically put all the ingredients on top. I called it "The Ultimate Pizza"

Pizza Hut eat your heart out.

Here we can see it baking nicely...
And here is the finished product. Didn't get the chance to take the full pic. I was taking care of some other stuff. Will we do it again? you bet? I think this could be a family event. This time I am adding anchovies on my pizza.

Back to work

As promised today, lots and lots of new post. So sit back, relaxed and enjoy what I have to write.

Sucks working alone

Yesterday I work alone and telling you that working alone sucks. We have no one to talk to. I can't go out to eat. You'll end up talking to yourself. In the end, I just ordered take out and stay at the office until it's time for me to leave. Well today is my rest day and we are going to make something special. I'll update you guys back on the next post

One more day till my baby arrive.

Stuff in the entertainment industy

Here are some quick entertainment stuff that you wouldn't here on E!

In movies

Vantage point is out, expect a lot of rewinding coz the story is based of the view of 8 different people. I probably will wait until the DVD comes out.

The new Indiana Jones trailer is out (Indiana Jones and the temple of the crystal skull). The trailer is somewhat funny since Indy is already 68 years old so he is not that agile anymore. There is even a funny scene in the trailer. Oh and that transformers kid (shia something) is in the movie playing his son.

In Tv

Prison Break is done. The season finally left us wanting more. I've heard that season 4 is in the bag but they are not confirming it yet. Cross your fingers.

Moonlight, the story about the vampire (like angel) is probably canceled. Still unknown about it's condition. Bionic woman is also confirm to be non-exsitant. Such a waste. That Michelle Ryan is such a hottie.

March is going to be a empty month with lots and lots of reruns. So most of you guys probably download all your favorite shows already.

In games

Street fighter 4. The game that is on everybody list. The playable demo is out. With a couple of new characters and old one as well. Can you say Yoga Fire... Youtube the video to find out more.

Smash bros is around 20 days away. Can't wait

Gears of War 2 is coming out this November. I find it kind of funny since Every year is either Halo or GOW. But since bungie already severed ties with Micro$oft to make their own projects. I wonder what will be in store for next year.

That's all for now. Maybe next month for more industry tidbits.

What to do today?

I was supposed to be working but I took the day off. Didn't felt like going to work. The only problem is now I don't know what to do. Im really not the type of guy who can just sit back and do nothing. It's just not my nature. I already finish up my J!NX. I tell you guys there are always surprises when doing this things? Will I do it again? Only time will tell (It's a long time so dont hold your breathe). Just send my daughter for her monthly shot. Turns out since my wife has the shingles, my daughter may have the chicken pox. But we're not that sure. So the doc says give it a couple of weeks. Well if she does have it, it looks like we'll be staying here more than the expected time. I wish we could move already, just like to be at my own house. Friday prayers are upon us, after that I actually got some stuff to do, but I am not that interested to do it. (And I am complaining I have nothing to do, well nothing that I would enjoy doing)

On the other note, the house is almost complete. My baby is coming this monday. We'll post the pictures as soon as I can. Sucks to be coup at home but I would feel bad if I done something and my wife has to stay at home.

Oh well...

Happy birthday to her

Today is my darling wife's birthday. But the sad news is, she has a bad case of shingles (for those of you who dont know what is it, it like chicken pox but without the spots). So we stayed home since she hurts to much to be going around. In the evening, my mom-in-law wanted to treat us dinner and do some grocery shopping. We all went and it was fun. Sorry no pictures this time, everyone was just hungry. What did I get her? Well I did treat her to do her hair (that was last week). Bought her some flowers and probably going ot buy her some Celine Dion tickets since this is her last show ever (Didn't have money to go to Las Vegas to see her show this will do)

Other than that, a new addition to the family is coming to the house this Monday. I can't wait for the new baby. I'm finishing up my Jinx's stuff. Im surprised that none of my friends wanted to buy it. Probably they are thight of cash. I know I am.

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day.

Rest in piece my old friend

Yesterday, a very special friend of mind has taken his last breath. We both known each other for 5 years. In those years he has been nothing but supportive, giving me laughter, sadness, suspense and a bunch of other stuff. Yesterday they said they couldn't revive him. I refuse to give up, I waited beside him until I'm certain there is nothing that I can do. Around the 11th hour, a friend of mind came and to him away. I've waited for the prognosis. He said that he can't be saved but his dying act to me is that he gave me a piece of him that I hold so dearly. So all I can say it, goodbye old friend, may you live in the digital graveyard in the sky. Rest in piece my 250gb hdd...

Jumper

Went to see Jumper the other day. This movie was a mixed bag. For one is short. Like 1hr 20mins short and there are a lot of unresolved questions about the world of Jumping. Maybe they'll do that in the sequel since this is the only available box office movie at this time so its sure to rake in some serious dough. Other that that... Well there is nothing else to complain expect the storyline sucks. Oh yeah, and Hayden what-is-name can't act. On the plus side, the jumping effects are cool. The locales looks splendid and the fighting scene is quite intense. Overall a good way to spend your 11 bucks.

I give it 3/5 Jumps.

15 February 2008

Hectic...

I haven't been posting in my blog lately coz of too much work. So I am going to make a couple of new post into one big post. Chronological order. Like the show 24 but without that beep beep beep beep sound

2 days ago

Planned to see a movie with the missus. But she wasn't in the mood. Sweeny Todd wasn't showing until 10pm and Wednesday, the day where everybody decide to go see a movie because they are cheap (I am one of them). So we ended up eating at the food court. I had my ramen, mmm ramen even better than maggie. Plus naruto eat's it.


After that we strolled here and there and everywhere. Ended up at the IT world. Shw was looking for laser printer. Apparently, they are quite affordable nowdays. We bought one for RM400 bucks. I know what I am going to print. Stuff... And then the sales guy convince us to get the celcom broadband package. The sales pitch was "internet everywhere anywhere (as long there is a celcom signal). The thought of me answering YM in the loo is very disturbing. So we got the plan. Tomorow I'll pick up the sim card

1 day ago

Work was hectic than usual. New stuff have to do. Everybody feel pressured. But that doesn't stop me from watching Prison Break ep12. The best episode in the whole season so far. Hope next week is better. After that, the trouble start. People yelling here there. They were in chaos. I find it distrubing and amusing at the same time. Got home with migraine, eat and went to sleep. I didn't even got the chance to watch american idol.

Today

Thing are well manage now. Im fine. Everything is ok. Hakuna Matata. and all the other crap. Tomorrow is my official off day after 5 days of working non-stop. A much needed break. Probably going to catch Jumper tomorrow.

That's all for now. End transmission beep beep beep beep

13 February 2008

Rest day

Today is my off day. Yet im still in the office. No rest for the wicked. Well today I asked my wife to take half day and we going to KL to see a movie. Was planning to see sweeney todd but since the shows have wired time. So probably we catch a chinese movie or something. (Update on that later) I got a card from a friend, it says there that I am a ghost. I would think so myself. I got Billy and Mandy to keep me company. I dont understand the humor of that cartoon. Im more of a Fairlyodd Parents kind of guy


Other than that... A friend of mine is asking me what console should he buy. I said buy a wii. So if your a reading this right now. Buy a wii. Convince your better half. Wii good. Hehehe

So see you tomorow since im working again in the morning. This week has been so hectic

12 February 2008

Hangover

Is 4pm, still havent eaten. Woke up on the floor of my wife office since I have to send her back. Well consider this a spur of the moment kind of thing. Yesterday I felt pity for a couple of my friends who had to stayover until pass midnite for working stuff. Apparently the job was so severely wrong that some people didn't sleep for 24 hours. Hope everything works out find for them. Other than that I would to express that blogging is very therapeutic. I just love typing. Actually need more pictures in this blog. There are nothing interesting to post anyway. My friend is bugging me to go see Sweeny Todd. When? For a guy who work less then 20 days I really don't have much free time.

Ok then... toodles.

P.s A friend told me I type funny. Probably I do. Heck some of this words even I dont even understand. :lol: (Reading is fun)

Kate Nash - Foundations

Im currently listing to her on my Zen. Love her witty lyrics. Here a video of her hit foundations. Enjoy..

sucks being me?

My 5th post less then 12 hours. Impressive on my standards. Usually dont have anything to say. But I think I have a problem of getting attached. I hate it when I get attached. Attached meaning I can't accept change. But change is already happening slowly in my life. I have to stop getting attached. People are leaving the hellhole they called work and moving on to better horizons. And yet im still stuck here. What does that tell me. I can't see change in my life. I really need a long talk with someone (and no talking to your spouse doesn't count)... Bottom line if I don't change I might end in a place that I can't get away. I know I am already there.

The great bread escape...

My mom was here for 2 days and we did some amazing stuff. She bought us a breadmaker. We made some tuna buns and cheese croissants. Here are some of the steps of making it. Well there are not actually steps. Just cool pictures...

Ok first we follow the recipe on how to make the dough. Its a bit lumpy coz we should add shortenting (is like oil) but instead we use egg

The dough

Next we roll the dough and put in tuna in the middle. Twist the end and what you get is like stated below. There are not of even size coz there are mroethan one cook in the kitchen

Tuna buns.

By taking a piece of flour and rolling it. Sprinkle cheese in the middle and wrap it like wrapping an eggroll. We'll get a basic shaped of the croissant. It may look small but after sticking in the oven it will expand

Deformed croissants.

Here is the picture of the buns in the oven. This is a picture so you couldn't see the buns actually expanding. One of it exploded coz there were too much tuna in it.

Buns coming alive.

And here you have it. The finish product. It was still hot when I took this picture. The middle thing on the pan is cheese roll. Basically the leftover bread, roll it flat, sprinkle cheese and sugar and cut it into little pieces.

Yummy buns and rolls

Really, you have to taste it to believe it

Same goes for the croissants. Baking in the oven. The cheese melting and viola... free croissants..


I didnt get the chance to take all of the buns. People start grabbing them like hot cakes.

Will i do it again? Probably. Does it take lots of my time? Definitely. This is more than a 2 man operation. Need at least 3 or more. Im planning to do a pizza dough next. Wait until my next day off. There were some vanilla muffins that we made. The flour was that much so we could only made around 15. All in all it was a nice saturday afternoon.

The strike is almost over

Yay!!! By Wednesday all the writers will start back working on what consider to be a very long strike. The strike started on Nov 5th until now. So that around 15 weeks, not as worst as before but still 500 million was lost in the industry. So now we can hopefully they can tie up all the loose ends of some shows.. Well by March we can have all the shows continuously.

Ribs... ah.... drool

Last week my wife treated me at Tony Roma's at Cineleisure Damansara. I always say, good food is meant to be shared. So I am sharing with you guys what I ate. Let's see if it's mouth watering enough.

Well first we order the mushroom soup. It was so great that I didn't have time to take a picture of it.

Next were the shitake mushrooms. Deep fried in flour and served with cheese dip. This is not to be eaten by 2 persons. If you do it this, eat half and ask for a doggie bag. You'll save yourself from a major heartburn.



After that were the 2 main courses. The ribs of course and the grilled burger. The ribs were served with 4 kinds of sauces. The first bite I took it tasted like ash from the grill. I think they overcook it. The burger however was not that nice and really people come here to eat ribs so ordering a burger really defeats the purposed

ribs... drool..


quite nice but I prefer the ribs

In the end I was struggling to finish the ribs, packed half of the burger and lots of fries leftover. Good meal in the end. I got to take my friends here (Keram, Rez, Bala G, niza, azea) if all goes well probably one day we will go here. Dutch of course... :lol:

Refreshed...

I"m back after a long 3 day break. There will be a couple more post today. Im wondering does anyone read this since I have no comments? Probably there is nothing worth commenting. Let's see is there anything great to tell? Maybe there is... Got some juicy and tasty pictures (As you can see above)... Now back to work

Cloverfield

Yesterday I blew of some steam by going to the cinema with a couple of friends to watch the biggest hype up movie of 2008. What can I say about cloverfield. Rocks like hell!!!. The way they show the events is brilliant. My friend actually said is this a documentary. That how cool this movie is, to immerse you right in the action. I always wonder why New York is always the target of big catastrophe events. Be it Godzilla or a virus that wipe out the entire population. NY is always the first to go. They should put this sign when entering the city "You'll likely die by getting stomp". There is just 1 thing that I am that happy with cloverfield. 1) It was too short but again the camcorder battery only last around 1hr plus. I wanted more... But usually this type of "Blair which" style of filming the victims usually dies in the end. After the ending (which was actually not an ending). Some people were cursing coz that all the movie had to offer. If you want to see something with a backstory an a complete ending watch Ultraman or something. You know that when watching this movie you wont get an ending but instead you want more.

Score : 4/5 nuclear bombs.

On other note... Did anyone watch the Iron Man Superbowl trailer. Cool... Drool... Can't wait for May two...

10 useless facts that you didn't know

Morning. Just had breakfast. So I would like to share with you 10 useless facts that you probably didn't know. These will be good if you want to entertain someone during dinner or for those awkward moments.

Here are the facts in no particular order. Don't ask me how do I know this. I just do. Probably read it somewhere.

1) The voice of Mickey Mouse is actually married to Minnie Mouse in real life
Wayne Allwine voice Mickey is married Russi Taylor who the voice of Minnie. They both have been doing the voice overs for more than 30 years. Makes you think weather life for them is always a cartoon.

2)The Xbox 360 is called that because
Technically it should be called Xbox 2 but Microsoft knew that if they called it that, their console will still be below the playstation 3. Called it a marketing gimmick or such. 360 sound way cooler. Wonder what the next one will be called?

3)The longest running show in American Tv is
As the world turns. As of Feb 1st. It has 13,936 episode an counting.

4)Stuff about Star Wars Episode IV
The first movie, Luke Skywalker was to be called Luke Starkiller and Han Solo is a big grizzly alien. The first movie was with limited budget but still manage to get more than 200% profit. George Lucas is still rich because he own all the right to the movie.

5)Apple CEO Steve Jobs doesn't receive a paycheck. He practically works for free.
But he does get 500 million or more every year from the majority shares he owns in Apple and Pixar

6)Nintendo is the only company that rises from bankruptcy
The Wii and DS are so profitable that thier stock is worth 20 bucks a piece.

7)The movie Spider-Man trapped in production hell since the year 1989.
There were contemplating on how to make the web swing as realistic as possible. Glad they waited.

8)Videogames is a 4 billion dollar business and it growing every year... Kudos

9)The fastest car on the Top Gear test track is the Ascari A10. The bugati veyron is still the fastest road car but it has yet to be tested coz... actually I don't know why?

10)Mario, Sonic, Zelda, Pikachu, Ryu, Ken. If you know them, you are probably 70% of the generation today. Like me

So that all the useless facts that I like to share with you. Im going to catch a movie to day. Probably cloverfield

I got screwed

I would like to retract my previous post by saying salvation is a click away. Now after doing that I want to say that got screwed big time. I know naming names or pointing fingers is not a good conduct in this online world. But really... this is fricking unfair. Rewarding someone for just improper conduct is just wrong. Seems they couldn't handle the problem so they send it to another place...

Guess Im stuck here for another week.(So they say). I know I am being a such a baby on this matter but Im really pissed off since I've already made plans with my mom who is coming over from Kelantan. Im sure that just an excuse that they see can't hold out in court either. This is really a frick on a stick with a big (I dont know what rhyme with stick)...

I know that payback a bitch... Well let me say Im going to do a little payback on my own to that bitch (can I swear on a blog?)... Bleep bleep bleep... and bleep some more.

Hopefully my wife can entertain my mother while I am working (That something I would like to see)

3 February 2008

Salvation is a click away

Finally... Im going back. Yay!... There are a lot of things I have to do when I get back, people to say goodbye too. Stuff to torrent. Seeing my friends back. I can't wait to get home. By home I mean work. so I already gotten leave for tomorow and the day after. So that all for today. Now onward with work and simpsons...

Before that, I would like to say that I really need to lose weight. Im getting to unhealty for myself. But I can't help it when they make nice food...

Oh well. As long the cake is still lie, im good....

1 February 2008

How much longer?

Well today is just like any other day. Got back from work, slept, eat, and go to work again. Im asking myself. How much longer I can take this. I want to go back to a place where everybody knows your name. Well technically nobody knows me that well coz I done such a bang out job in hiding myself. Maybe is just me. I dunno... Please someone save me...

Ok enough of wallowing in my own flith... Let's talk about something exciting

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Im so obsess with this game. This game is in my sleep, when I wake up. I need to play this game. I've been looking everywhere for this game. Dont know what keeping the "jack sparrows" a long time. Probably give it a day or 2. Who doesn't want to see Mario kicking Sonic ass. But in my opinion Sonic is way better than Mario. The last time I was like this was 2004. I was so eager to play Metal Gear Solid 2 that I forgo sleep all together. I got the game, start playing at 10pm finishe 10am All in one sitting. After that I vomit due to lack of sleep. Serves me right I guess.

I think I know what I need to do to spruce up this blog. I need pictures. But If I do get pictures, I need something to capture it with. My handphone is fill with baby pictures plus I have to drag around that stupid cable everywhere. This sucks. Need to get a camera. I wonder where did I put my old spycamera.

Ok then another 7 hours of working. Probably watch more Simpsons... D'oh
