I’m Back

It’s been awhile since my last entry in this blog. Guess I’m just being lazy but then again I kinda missed not writing and so, here I am.
.
There’s a lot of things that has happened politically especially about that guy Anuar who has won the by election at Permatang Pauh and wit that, changed the whole political scene in Malaysia. Finally the opposition has a bit more balls in the parliament and that is a good thing. The era of two third majority is over and everything seems to be on the right track. BN has to be real careful as to what their agenda is coz there’s no room for fuck ups and that is fer sure. I just cant wait to see what happen next. The show must go on.

Back in the kitchen, things were as usual. We got pretty busy for the Midsummer Feast but everything went well. Chef Kevin Cape, our new Exec Chef for YTL did the menu and it was a good learning process for the boys in the kitchen. In addition there are guest chefs (Stephen Mercer, Bobby Chin, Chef Ismail etc.) that came in to promote the event and working with them has been an eye opener and also fun for everybody.
.
So, now it is the Ramadan period and things are getting really slow at the restaurant. After lunch service, the boys started to prep dishes for breaking fast and here the creative juice started to flow. There are so many good local dishes that to eat them all in one sitting is kinda tough. I think that I may have to scrape that idea I had of losing weight during Ramadan. I’ll post some pictures pretty soon. Still hasnt dwnld da pictures in my phone and there’s a lot of dem.
How To Make A Good Burger

Forget bout Mc D’s or Burger King; it ain’t nuttin compared to the burger you can make yourself at home, and it’s not that difficult either. Still, I have to confess that when it comes to convenience you can’t beat that invention called “drive-thru”. hehe. But if you have the time, this is how you should do it.

Resolution

New Year @ Times Square circa 1940s

Check out the panoramic view of New year celebration here. It’s damn cool!!

Hell it’s New Year again and I’m sure that a lot of people will start to or at least try to be a better person. The word resolution will be in play and it’s just kinda bothers me coz I cant never seem to stick to any of the resolution that I’ve made ever. So, I’ve decided that my resolution for this year is to not have any resolution at all. I mean why does it has to be on Jan 1, rite? If you wanted to lose weight; hey that can be like tomorrow. Don’t get me wrong becoz I used to be in that “ok, tomorrow I’m gonna start…” group too, but for this year I’ve decided that my daily decisions are what makes me who I am and to just put some small effort progressively towards the “right thing” seems to be more of my style. So, to those with the resolutions…gud luck! There’s always another year (hopefully).

My man Dave Barry has this to say about resolution.
Saddam’s Dead
Sunday, December 31st, 2006 1 CommentYep, That was the big news today. I am not that political but one thing for sure is that I hated war and am totally against it. When I was in New York, I tried to attend to all the anti-war demonstrations that they had. I think that most of the people there knows what is really goin on when the US decided to invade Iraq. I rather not get into details but when i heard how Bush today saying that it is an end to an era; I have to say that that era has never really ended and it will keep on goin till who knows when. Human will always be human and like they say, “history will teach us nothing”.
Watch the execution by hanging here. Don’t watch this video if you’re easily offended.
