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
