I just finished my class and I have nothing to do but to check on updates on Facebook and my Webmail and my blog and anything just to keep my eyes from squinting (I was rushing for Maths this morning and the one thing that I couldn't find was my spec, it was when I put my contacts on I found it. I was already 10 minutes late. FML)
Anyway the new contacts felt way better than the previous one, though the consistence of the liquid that it is submerged with felt suspiciously like s***n. But no, it's not white. So rest assured (yeah rite as if I would put it on if it were s***n, duh.)
So I went on my usual blog-hopping and came across Audrey's new post it made me curious to find out my name on urbandictionary after interesting definitions of Timothy and Audrey :p
I was suspecting some awful references but to my surprise:
The definition of Phillip:
1. He is the reason I wake up in the morning and the air beneath my wings. Yeah you wish you were that guy.
Example: Phillip is the shit.
248 Up, 94 Down (I guess some people are just jealous)
HAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
OH YEAH ;)
Then here is another
2. Greek God of s*x; known for his amazing looks and long endurance.
Example: He's been going at it as long as Phillip!
OMG OMG OMG
ANDDDDD.......
My all time favourite.
3. Known as the coolest kid in the world to males, and an absolute stud who has the best body around to females. The name Phillip is replaceable with GOD.
Example:
Matt: Phillip, your the man!
Random girl 1: OMG YOU ARE SO HOTT! Can I have some of your nuts!?!?!?!
Phillip: Uhh, sure? *hands her a can of peanuts*
I guess it can't be denied. I am a GOD. :p
Oh so I went and explored more :p
Derrin:
1. action; performance; execution.
Example: How yew be derrin? (Awwww.....)
Jeremy:
1.A named based on the biblical name Jeremiah. Used as a name for children who are blessed with a large brain and/or pen*s. Also used as a replacement for "perfect".

OR
3. A type of bra strap.
Example: my chest is held up by Jeremy. (And his nick in dotA is Bra Bra :p)

Go on, have a try and see how you perform!!

Cream Crackers Kuih...anyone?
I’ve procrastinated time and time again, probably because I was hoping I could find a better day to do so rather than just do it and have nobody try it and end up alone with a whole batch.
Eventually last weekend I was alone and I had the liberty to shop around and bought several necessities including the main ingredients to make Cream Cracker Kuih, or CC kuih for simplicity. Never heard of it?
Who would imagine this could be something else than it was?
It started when I called her and asked her how to make it. After I got the recipe, I had a practice run with my mom back in Malaysia and found it was rather bland, with the kuih itself flat because I didn’t put enough baking soda into it.
I took into account of the two problems I had with it and made improvements with it. It was this afternoon that I decided it was a good time to try it out, as well as share it with the others.
The ingredients are as follows:
22pcs of Ping Pong Cream Crackers
5 Eggs
7 Tablespoons of sugar (I used 8 as the previous one was bland)
150g of Planta/Butter
1 teaspoon of baking soda (I used 1 ½ , abit more is always better)
And 3-4 tablespoons of milk (Not compulsory, just to make it moist)
Firstly, smash the pieces of Cream Crackers into particles,
No, this isn't smashed enough, try harder!!
When I mean smash them, yes that means you can imagine your worst enemy and literally quash them into little particles of dust. A little strength is always good as this is a very tedious process. A mortar and pestle is a good idea, if you have one. But in this case I didn’t, therefore I took longer than expected to do so, the purpose of this well as you guessed, is because this is the theme of the dish, and I’m actually replacing flour with biscuits. Therefore flour is not needed and it still works as the biscuit itself is made out of flour. Get my point?
I’ve thought about using other cookies, but let’s try it next time, or you may do so and tell me the results.
While Chong and the others were trapped in their world of Left 4 Dead, where they found being the Zombies were more satisfying than being the survivors getting hunted. Sadistic bunch, aren’t they?
Left 4 Dead is a new rave in our gang and Wilson has been screaming all day long while playing it. It happened last night when I went to his house and I could hear him screaming from the outside of the house. That shouldn’t go well with his neighbours I guess, and the prospect of food after two hours of zombie-killing of Boomers, Hunters, Smokers, Witches and Tanks would be quite low.
However, I went on and went on to the next part of the recipe, which was to mix the sugar with the butter. As I couldn’t find Planta here, butter would be a good replacement.
Hmm...this is weird....
The process is as equally long as the smashing, but even worse, I never understood the reason to do so. One was solid and the other was a piece of oily substance in solid form, so after the test run I found it to be the binding agent to this dish and the longer you whisk it to make it expand and dissolve the sugar, as I forgot hydrocarbons are organic solvents as well. I didn’t have a hand mixer, or a proper whisk, so it was spoon action all the way, my hands are tired after that, not to mention oily.
Then everything was simple, add the rest in, as well as the crushed Cream Crackers and mix it rather thoroughly, and baste the pan with butter when you’re about to use for steaming as you don’t want an hour of scraping the surface of the pan after that.
Don’t worry about the surface of the mixture, it will eventually go smooth as the baking soda will make it expand and it will force the surface to change.
After that, steam it for 15-20 minutes over a water bath.
After that, voila!
Cut it diagonally so that it does look like a kuih, and best serve it piping hot. The kuih should be easily removed and you’ll be happy with the end of the leftover biscuits you have that you though you couldn’t finish!
Jeng, jeng , jeng!! Now, comes the most important part of the whole thing: Tasting
I took a slice and out of the pan and served it to my potential victims as if I was hunting them on Left4Dead.
However, the reception wasn’t as good as I predicted. Michael took a bite and said it was not too bad. Chong had two slices and said it reminded him of his mother’s colleague’s sponge cake.
Wilson said it looked like Ma Lai Gou but after tasting it said it was too oily to his liking.
Jeremy didn’t even want to have a slice at all. I might assume that his belief that his household’s brand of Chinese New Year cookies and confectionery is the best and he would not try anything else would also apply to my CC kuih. I’m not mad at them, but I would’ve expected something more after an hour of forceful labour of love. To cooking I mean.
To me it was as good as mom would make it. It was fluffy, it wasn’t too sweet and it was consistent with the original piece, or as my taste buds would think. I was pretty happy with the outcome, but very, very disappointed with the reviews. Somehow I fell gutted and it doused any motivation to keep making things to share with people. Probably it was a good indication that I never should’ve treaded the food industry, no matter how much I loved it.
P.S: Ooh! Time flies. MU vs Liverpoo (“L” purposely removed as I do think they’re shit anyway). Go go go MU ftw!!
P.P.S: The rest of the CC Kuih is still with me...looks like my premonition came true...

IKEA mannequins....
Seriously IKEA needs to be more alert about this...what if a kid goes across and sees it and asks his parents: "Hey Dad, why is the doll looking at the other dolls ****?"
I'm perfectly cool with it, but what about others? :p
Don't even get me started about Chong's suggestion of having male and female mannequins, seriously the story gets even twisted there...>.<

One Word
In fact the one I hated most is about the 25 random things. I think I got tagged by that 1st…
The problem is that I can’t be random….. I just think before I write…T.T
Ok la gimme time ok?? Therefore I’ve come across a meme that I wasn’t tagged and saw that it was much easier to manage than the random one…so I want to do this one 1st…
Be noted, my blog is also linked to Facebook so probably most of the people would’ve read this there too. Beware those who get tagged. Muahahaha…
USING ONLY ONE WORD! It's not as easy as you might think! Copy and change the answers to suit you and pass it on. It's really hard to only use one word answers. Be sure to tag the person you received it from!
There! That should keep the hungry wolves happy for a while. ^_^

Don't Play with Weddings, it'll turn out true! ;p
The story started about a celebrity couple who had different motives in their life and set up a relationship to reach their goals. Vikki, who was played by Fann Wong, was this Malacca-born actress who has family problems as her dad faced financial difficulties with their family business. In order to relieve the stress of the financial burden, she chose to involve herself in a agreement to be in a 'relationship' with another top actor, Jack played by Christopher Lee. Jack himself was caught in a scandal with another woman who sneaked into his changing room and got caught performing coitus by a hidden camera. Both of their managers, Tom, by Clares, and May, by Alice Lau reached a mutual interest with their clients plight and planned this scam up.
The actual problem starts when Jack was supposed to propose to Vikki at the awards show and go through a wedding, and seperating after six months being together. However, the point of the wedding was to rake in the sponsorship and media attraction which was vital for Jack, who needed good publicity and Vikki, who needed the cash. Both of them, however, secretly hated each other and arguements ensued once they were away from the spotlight, causing hillarious antics all over the place.
They met several problems along the way towards their wedding. But with the resourcefulness of their managers, they managed to slog through with series of amusing countermeasures, including acting a scene to mislead the audience when they received reports from a fanatical supporter of Vikki who was obviously envious about the 'union' and sought to sabotage then by taping their private arguements behind the stage. They also had to move in together in Jack's house and perform intimate displays at the window in Jack's room for the papparazzi's to take, giving them move convictions to 'legitimize' their relationship.
But as the story goes, they both got to know each other and understood each other's needs and desires. They even made the journey back to Vikki's hometown in Malacca where they met her father and the whole neighbourhood. And a scene where different races, or shall I say typical Cuti-cuti Malaysia scenes popped out showing racial unity, and them dancing amongst and eventually kissing due to public demand. It was at that point, they found that it was no longer an 'agreement' any longer.
The music wasn't that attractive until I watched the movie. It felt compatible with the atmosphere. And I made myself stand in their shoes all the way through the movie, asking myself what I would've done in their shoes, and understood why they did this. It was acceptable, and the series of events logical. Though I must say the party at Malacca was a show. There might be certain communities who would do so but seriously, in Malaysia, that is virtually impossible in our daily lives.
However, it made me think about the marketability of this movie. Clearly it was tailor-made for the SEA audiences. I felt connected with the story and I could relate to and understand their antiques, like the part where Saiful Apek went on and scolded Jack about his relationship with Vikki in Malay. I was soooo amused and yet worried, if I could make my overseas friends enjoy this show as well. Clearly this is one movie I would really like to share with them. Most of them don't even know how our live goes. They think we swing on trees. XD (Sorry that was a comment from Min Min to Wilson, wait a minute, MinMin's a Penangite la...swt)
But seriously if anyone asks me what I think would be the best show to let those Chinese and HongKees appreciate our culture, this is it. For the time being. I really hope to see more collaborations and quality movies like these come out in the future. We have the potential, we need to stay focused and go for it, and not just treat it like any other movie we have in the past. That I believe so.
Btw, that sums up my review of The Wedding Game, as usual, long-winded. But it tell you that I enjoyed it. Congrats Ekachai Uekrongtham, you won me over.
One more week...
I have tried time and time again to write, but unfortunately I just can't.
Seems like a writer's block, no?
I don't think so. I just feel...

Enough
January 10th 2009.
This marks the 1st time entry of a new chapter.
I wish to make this a permanent reminder, therefore I will make this clear to myself:
1. I will not look into the past, instead look towards the future and how it is going to shape things around us. Nothing in this world is stagnant for too long.
2. I will understand the limits of my powers and realize that with my current influence nothing seismic can shift the balance, until i develop the wings to do so, I will bear the brunt. I can complain, but I cannot change it, yet.
3. I will swallow all the guilt and see to it that this is the best it goes. I have flunked 3 years of my life, it should stop now. Not for the sake of not helping others fail utterly, but not giving myself more frustrations in the future.
4. I will stand my stead and hold on towards the bitter end. Drudgery is what makes miracles come true. Without the sheer force of willpower, nothing would've been done. I must hold on and make it through.
5. I have to take charge of my life. Bragging rights have to be earned. Right now I have nothing, I should start earning my spurs now.
6. Destruction of others is futile, gives no advantage, no leverage. Living better than others is the best way you can repay their spite.
7.Stop talking and do more. It takes action to make things come true.
8. Stop thinking and do more. Thinking helps judgement, too much thinking wastes time.
I guess that's all I can remember now.
I will remove every piece of scrap of her from my memory, leaving nothing. Finito.
I only require a small request from all my friends who read this: Remind me time to time. I may forget, and I hope I will move on from this point. 6 years ago I made a turnpoint in my life, I can do it again.
Life is too precious to be wasted so. But I have better things to look after.
