Sleepless in Owen Road..

Too much wild thoughts going astray in my head forcing me off the bed to clear it out at 2:30 a.m

& i thought to myself.. ' its been a pretty damn while since i last blogged '

Well any hows, I'm here voicing my well kept thoughts so.. coolios :D

Had a get together dinner last week on the 26th at home with daryl & adam and as usual, home-cooked food was the theme of the night & boy it sure was dirty old fun in the kitchen. Although it was meant to be an all-friends affair that night, Dad also turned up for dinner which made the whole episode even more enjoyable, i mean.. what beats having your good ol' dad trying out the dishes that we meticulously prepared in the most hygienic way possible ( not exactly tho' ) & later giving back negative feedbacks about it? It was delicious/restaurant standard so no complaints this time round.

so here's the low down of what the skinny chef has in stores..

1. White clams cooked in beer, cilantros,shallots,garlic & bacon
2. Garlic bread to soak up the delicious clam sauce
   
3. mashed potatoes accompanied by crispy bacon bits & sauerkraut ( cabbage fermented in wine)
4. Linguine with wild tiger prawns ( Adam's last minute creation )
   
5. Nicely diced tomatoes in olive oil with basil & parsley herbs
   
6. Dan the man's signature creation : yogurt chicken thigh wrapped in glass cabbage & covered with generous strips of pan-seared bacon ( actually it's supposed to come out only when Yann arrive which she didn't due to project work, like f**k ? )
   
7. grapefruit vodka to wash it all down
   

Beautiful night.


Got birthday cake smashed straight on my radiant face on the 28th & it sure wasn't pretty.

Just packed for tomorrow's stayover in school with the other ambassadors' & surprisingly i am one too considering how screwed up of a student i am. I sure do hope it'll be fun or damn i'll get pissed off! :DD

In Retrospect..

Sometimes i just stop & wonder..

It's incredible how much I've seen the world up till now as an 18 yr old as compared to many other under-privileged kids. From witnessing the icy wonders of niagra falls in Canada to the great walls in China & from gleeing at the massive golden gate bridge in Sanfrancisco to chilling out on the calm sandy beaches in Bali & not forgetting eating roasted peanuts in busy streets of Manhattan to bargaining & road side eating in Bangkok. I am very lucky to be born into a family where everyone takes care of this friggin' adolescent teen in , granting so much opportunities and allowing me to see that there is so much to life.

From being ever-so-wide-eyed to shaping myself into a more street smart chinese boy with the help from the countless people who rub off their know-how onto me, allowing for a clearer 180 degree view of how things can be done in our everyday life. There are too many of you out there i am so damn grateful to for letting me learn be it through the soft loving or the spitonmyface hard way.. Thank you.

' The world is a book and those who do not travel read only a page ' and I've got a shit load more to read, care to join me?

Cos I'm Leaving On a Jet Plane..

Well if you consider Tiger Airways a Jetplane then boy, be very disappointed. Using a 'tiger balm' tiger icon to represent Tiger Airways just seem plain retarded.

Come on seriously, where're all those cool creatures like the fireballspittingdragons or bambooflesheatingpandas? Oh wait a minute, they're all taken already that's why! we're too slow to grab it and we've to settle for a stupidretardedasslooking tiger f**k!

Well actually i'm just merely kicking up a unnecessary fuss for fun i don't know whats my dysfunction. Okay leaving for bangkok at 6pm later with the guys so hope we all don't get into anything major or serious.

Wise Decision.

We were shopping in Vancouver in this really huge ass ' carrefour+expo ' lookalike hybrid & there i was moving around like a typical suaku ass suffering from deer in the headlights syndrome shocked at the sheer size of this mammmmoth establishment.

Anywhos, after constant careful maneuvering around people on boxing day in this mall, those set of beautiful eyes dad & mom gave me were fixated upon a 3rd generation ipod nano & fixated upon it sure was!

Dad passed me a hundred dollars to blow on this cool device, with the remaining i myself fork out & it sure was damn tempting i'm telling you.

But after much thought were injected into this detailed decision if it was a ' want ' more rather than a ' need ' i was appalled & shocked at what a spoilt brat i turned out to be initially thinking of actually grabbing it but no..

Money Management, as it seems is the key word for humans like us growing up in this frivolous moneyspending society where fat wallets do the talking, instead we ought to be using it to liaise with our brains for careful financial thinking.

" no " to the attention grabbing ipod i said. Returned dad the 100 bucks & told him it wasn't wise to spend his hard earned cash on such needless commodity & he sure was proud knowing his son has turned out to be fine young man who embraces the many priceless values in life.

That's why i took it back to use it to buy it here instead, well it's cheaper.

Ha!
